Twenty-Three

E

Bella wraps her legs around my waist, pulling me in, and I'm too far gone for the sweet tenderness she asked for.

The head of my dick slides up and down her slick folds, and fuck, she's so wet for me. I press my forehead to hers. "I'm sorry. I need you."

"Never apologize." She pulls me down, fingers braiding in my hair. "Take me, Edward."

"But you said," I grit out, holding myself back. "You wanted—"

"I know what I said, and I still want sweet Edward. We've got a lot of time for that." She kisses me hard. "But right now, I want to give you what you need."

Fuck, I think I'm in love and that thought should terrify me, but it doesn't. What I feel for Bella is completely different from Jess. Polar opposites, and we've only just begun.

Bella runs her thumb over my bottom lip. "Come back to me, baby."

"I'm here."

Her legs pull me closer, one hand positioning me at her warm entrance. With a snap of my hips, I'm home.

"Fuck, Edward," she cries out, raising her hips to meet my deep thrusts. "Yes."

I drive into her, chasing my own pleasure, but I want Bella to get hers too. I can tell she's close, hands gripping my shoulders, nails digging into my skin as her walls flutter around me, strangling my cock.

I grab one of her legs, spreading her wide so I can thrust deeper. I pivot my hips so I can reach the spot I know will push her over the edge.

"Uh, uh, uh, Edward!" she screams right in my ear.

I thrust harder and bottom out as I come, roaring her name. Bella's body twitches with aftershocks, and I collapse on top of her.

She hums and soothes the crescent-shaped marks her nails left in my skin with featherlight touches.

I know we need to clean up, but right now, I don't want to leave this perfect spot. I pant into her skin, and my tongue sneaks out, tasting the salty tang of our mixed sweat.

"Ew, stop." She giggles, her entire body shaking under mine. "That's so gross."

"You taste divine."

I look up and find her eyes shining with happiness, a tired, but beautiful smile gracing her face.

"What?" I ask, leaning on one elbow so I can make sure she can breathe.

"As much as I'd love to stay like this forever, I really need to use the bathroom." Her flushed cheeks darken. "And then, I really need something to eat. I didn't have dinner, and I'm starving."

"Okay. Why don't you take care of your business, and I'll see what I've got in the kitchen?"

I climb off the bed and grab a pair of sweats, pulling them on. I turn to find Bella staring unabashedly.

"I thought you needed to pee."

"I do. Doesn't mean I can't enjoy the view." She smirks and hops off the bed, prancing to the bathroom naked.

I wish I'd gone grocery shopping recently, but I've been busy. I manage to scrounge up some bread, cheese, butter, and tomato. I hope she likes grilled cheese.

I'm plating the first couple sandwiches when she comes into the kitchen, looking like sin in one of my flannels. But she's Bella and loves to drive me crazy so only a couple of buttons are being used. I can see that she's still naked underneath.

"So, what's on the menu?" she asks, looking over my shoulder, pressing her delicious body into my back with a satisfied hum. "Grilled cheese. Yum."
