Edward watched Bella as she slept. She was on her stomach, her face buried in a pillow. He could see the swell of her breast and the two dimples just above her ass. She was absolutely exquisite, her body pressed to his. Last night had been everything he had ever dreamed of. They made love numerous times, becoming more and more connected with each moment. He didn’t know how he was going to survive without her.

“Edward,” she breathed, turning and snuggling against his side. Her bare breasts were pressed to his chest and her leg slid between his. He ran his hand along her ribs, moaning at how soft her pale skin was. “Hmmmm …” She rolled her hips, pressing her body against his thigh.

He grinned, running his finger along her smooth flesh. In her sleep, she moaned, writhing against his gentle touch. “Do you want me, love?” he asked, his hand splaying on her flat belly.

Bella opened her eyes. The brown was almost gone, replaced with black eyes of desire. “Always,” she breathed, guiding his hand between her legs.

Bella ran her fingers down his slightly stubbled cheek, staring him and giving him a seductive, sexy smile. “Show me,” she said. She reached into his pocket and took out the hotel key. “Show me, Edward.”

With a hasty goodbye to Angela and Ben, Edward and Bella went up to the suite he’d reserved. As they rode up the elevator, Bella grew more anxious while Edward was trying to keep his carnal desires at bay. He knew that Bella was inexperienced and he didn’t want to scare her. He wanted to cherish her, show her how much he cared; how much he loved her.

He did love her and loved her since high school when they were partnered together in biology.

Arriving at the suite he’d reserved, Edward helped Bella inside. She walked into the room, staring at the funky but lavishly decorated suite. She tossed her purse onto the couch and ran her fingers along the bed. Edward removed his suit coat and loosened his tie, watching her with rapt attention. Her body was so lithe and graceful. She turned around, looking at Edward shyly. His heart nearly burst seeing her innocence and her blooming trust in him.

“There are no expectations for tonight, Bella,” Edward said, crossing to her and taking her in his arms. “We can just cuddle, sleep together …”

“I promise I’ll take care of her, Chief. Don’t wait up,” Edward said, taking Bella’s hand and threading their fingers together. He guided her out the door, kissing her knuckles, ignoring the grumbling police chief in the foyer.

“You are bad,” Bella giggled. “Don’t wait up?”

“Well, the reunion is going until midnight and there are numerous after parties. Not to mention I got a room,” he said as they walked to his sleek black BMW, his cheeks flushed as he pulled out a small card.

“What?” Bella squeaked. She shook her head, her eyes trained on the card.

“I’m sorry, Bella. I don’t mean to …” he sputtered. “I had hoped that we could …”

She stopped him, standing in front of him. “I’m sorry, Edward. Why don’t we get in the car and head to the hotel? I can explain my reaction. Please?”

“I just want to know that I didn’t mess up. That I didn’t mess up what could be something absolutely beautiful,” he whispered, taking her face in his hands.

“You didn’t, but I’d rather have this conversation other than in my front yard,” she quipped, kissing his nose. He wrinkled it, tugging her into his arms and hugging her briefly. He helped Bella into the smaller car that was sitting on the driveway. Jogging around the car, he slid into the driver’s seat and drove out of Bella’s neighborhood. He gripped the steering wheel, his knuckles white, until Bella’s hand gently pulled it away and weaved her fingers into his. “Edward, I’m sorry I clammed up out there over the room. To be honest, my sexual history has been nonexistent.”

“You’re a virgin?” Edward asked, his brow arched.

“No, I’m not a virgin, but the one man I was with was … he left me unsatisfied,” Bella said, blushed. 

“I’ve never been with anyone since and honestly, no one held my attention. I was single. Lonely, really. I had a few close friends, but because of what happened in high school, I didn’t trust easily. I still don’t.”

“And you’re waiting for the other shoe to drop,” Edward said.
