So It Begins - Ch. 3

(EPOV)

After we had awoke from the strenuous workout induced nap that we had taken, we gathered the remaining things Bella had needed for our weekend together, and made our way back to my mansion.

I was extremely giddy when she agreed to spend the rest of the weekend with me, never, in all my life, had I wanted to spend so much time with a woman before. There is just something about her that invokes weird and wonderful feelings in my heart.

Knowing this beautiful, thoughtful woman gave me the gift of her virginity touched my heart, and I vowed after the moment I had realized this information, that I would give her the world in return, if I could. Was it possible that I could love her already? Love. A foreign word to me, since I have never been in love.

I look to the passenger seat, seeing a blissful smile on Bella’s face. Exquisite. She was beyond stunning. This woman was like no other, completely driven, caring, thoughtful, and the list would only continue to grow in time.

As if she could feel my eyes on her, she turned her head and smiled a million watt smile, amusement dancing in her eyes for catching me staring at her. I flashed her a crooked smile, and turned my attention back to the road in front of us.

As we neared my neighborhood, I quickly thought of some of the things the two of us could do over the course of the weekend. The weather was perfect for a dip in the hot tub tonight, we could drink some wine and just talk. We could order food, or if I know much about Bella so far, she could fix us a nice dinner. Tomorrow, I could take her out to dinner, visit the art museum or whatever she wanted to do.

I figured having something to do, instead of constant sex, would lessen Bella’s pain. She hadn’t said anything, but I knew it happened to women after they lose their virginity. I can tell you this though, my woman is a lioness when it comes to sex.

I pulled Bella’s hand into mine, bringing it to my mouth, planting kisses along her knuckles.

“So, I figure we could make dinner at the house tonight, then enjoy some time in the hot tub,” I smiled, while staring expectantly, but hopeful at Bella.

“Don’t you mean, Bella could make dinner?” Bella said, quirking an eyebrow at me, and quickly dissolving into a fit of laughter.

“Yes, while I assumed, rather than asking, I figured you would prefer to cook than go out to dinner,” I crooked an eyebrow back in return.

“You assumed right, my dear!” Bella laughed, while turning her head to smile out the window. “I’m not one for fancy restaurants and the such, Edward.”

“I have figured that out, just by spending the last day with you. You’re an extremely confident person, reserved, caring, and down to earth. You’re a breath of fresh air,” I sighed contently.

I still couldn’t get over the fact that Bella was here beside me, that she wanted to be here beside me. I would never understand why she did, people should run as far away from as they could, I was no good for someone the likes of Bella. I refuse to understand it though.

Once we arrived at the gate and I entered the code, we made our way to mansion. After we are parked, I quickly rushed around the car to help Bella out of the vehicle and collected her stuff.

After making our way inside the house, I ran off to put Bella’s things in my bedroom. Coming back downstairs, Bella was no where in sight. I quickly figured out where she was, when I heard the clanging of pots and pans in the kitchen.

Leaning against the doorframe, I stood silently, looking at the picture before me. Bella had found an apron and fixed it around her petite physique, chopping up ingredients for whatever it was she was assembling.

Moving effortlessly around the kitchen, like she had cooked there her entire life, she hummed underneath her breath, unconscious of me standing 10 feet away from her. She was positively radiant, going from one thing to the next.

Inching myself closer to her, I could feel the slow burn of the electricity that sparked between us, knowing she could feel it as well. I wrapped my arms around her tiny waist, tucking my mouth into her neck, placing several small kisses up to her jaw line.

“You look absolutely spectacular, standing here in my kitchen, like you belong here,” I whispered alongside the curvature of her ear, nipping it with my teeth.

“The kitchen is remarkable, and charges should be brought against you for not using it,” giggled Bella, as she relaxed against my body.

“I am your prisoner, bring on the shackles,” I laughed, bringing my hands up and out to her to express my words. “Whatever shall I do?”

Bella laughed, then swatted at my hands, effectively I might at.

“Ouch, woman!” I lightheartedly cried out in mock defense, jumping back from her as she swatted at me yet again.

“Serves you right, now out of my way. Shoooo…I’m fixing dinner,” Bella said, as she began to hum again, getting back to the task in hand.

“I’m going to go check in on a few things for work while you finish up in here, sweetheart,” I said melodiously into her hair, placing a delicate kiss against her head.

Making my way to the office, I noticed a few missed calls from my associate, Marcus. Quickly dialing him back, I waited for him to pick up on his end of the line.

“Marcus, speaking,” he said as his voice rang through on my end.

“You called,” I said, authority ringing clear in my voice.

“Just checking in boss,” Marcus said with a trace of terror.

“That’s acceptable, no more business this weekend unless it’s an absolute emergency. Got it?” I asked with annoyance, clearly meaning business.

“Positive.” Marcus replied, as the phone line went silent.

“That will be all,” I continued, as the phone line went dead.

I sat at my desk, finishing up several piles of paperwork while, I waited for Bella to find me for dinner. I would have to teach her how to use the intercom system, so she wouldn’t have to chase me down throughout the house when she is looking for me.

While waiting, I made dinner reservations, for a little out of place restaurant called G Bar for tomorrow evening. I wanted to take Bella out to see a Yankee’s game tomorrow, if she agreed, and then a nice Italian dinner afterwards. The restaurant owner was a friend of mine, and he was lovely enough to book us a private dining area.

A featherlike knock at the door, had me grinning like a fool. I made my way to the door swiftly, and opened it, revealing a lightly sweaty Bella. There was a small sliver of sauce on her cheek, causing me to bend and run my tongue across it.

“It’s time for dinner,” Bella shyly said, looking down at her feet, as she blushed.

“Alright, sweetheart,” I grinned, lifting her face, so we were staring at one another eye to eye. “Let’s go eat.”

I held Bella’s hand in mine, as we made our way back to the kitchen. It appears that we weren’t eating in there, because Bella had set the table in the dining room. I was beaming, knowing that she was relaxed enough in my home, which I hoped, one day she would think of as our home.

There’s not a doubt in my mind that I wanted to spend the rest of my life educating myself about Bella. I wanted to wake up next to her every morning, and stare at her sleeping form before she wakes. Make love to her in every room, every surface of the mansion. Journey the world with her, knowing that she was the most picturesque of all, and I was fortunate enough to have her by my side. One day, I planned on making this exquisite creature my wife.

The table was nice, seeing as it’s only used on certain occasions. I liked the idea that we were eating here, after the table romp, this was one of my new favorite places in the mansion. A few candles were lit and placed on the table with all the food. Glasses were filled with wine, a basket filled with garlic bread, Caesar salad in a glass bowl, and a piping hot pan of lasagna graced the table.

As we made our plates, I could have almost cried for how thoughtful Bella was for having a mother’s qualities. From what I gathered, she was always the one to take care of her friends needs before her own. I wanted to be the one to show her that it’s alright to be this way, but that people had to learn to do things for themselves as well.

“I hope you like lasagna, it’s one of my favorites,” Bella smiled kindheartedly, tucking a piece of hair behind her ear.

“I do, and Bella, thank you. I haven’t had a home cooked meal in quite some time. I have only ever dated three women before, they’re the only ones I’ve ever been with as well, just so you know. Those women we’re only about expensive restaurants, and what I could buy them. None of them could cook, they were just shallow women all together, very vain. Plus my mom, who normally sees to it, that I have a good cooked meal is currently traveling through France with my father,” I smiled lovingly in return. “You’re one of a kind, Bella, and I’m so very thankful that you have entered my life.”

“Thank you, Edward, for being open about something like that. It’s my pleasure cooking, it’s something that I’m passionate about. Let’s eat,” Bella smiled, bringing her fork to her mouth.

I bit back a moan, watching her mouth wrap around her fork. She closed her eyes, savoring the flavors, her plump, red lips, so kissable. As she opened her eyes, she quirked an eyebrow at my blatant staring.

“What? That was absolutely sinful, woman!” I exclaimed, my ears tinged pink, laughing at the absurdity of the situation.

“You’re too cute,” Bella giggled.

I rolled my eyes at the word cute, taking a bite of the lasagna, only this time the moan escaped, rather loudly, I might add. Oh.My.God. The fucking shit was delectable.  My woman can cook! I am going to assume that her mother taught her.

“This is heavenly, Bella, did your mother teach you this?” I asked, as Bella tensed, looked down at her plate with a frown on her face, trying to force back her tears. I was immediately out of my chair and by her side.

“What’s wrong, sweetheart, talk to me.” I begged, kicking myself for making her cry. I never wanted to see her cry ever again.

“I don’t know my mother, Edward, she left when I was six months old.” Bella whispered, sniffling, as I wrapped my arms around her waist and brought her to my chest.

“I’m so sorry, Bella, I didn’t mean to upset you,” I said, as I smoothed her hair, while whispering soothing words to her.

“It’ll be o.k. sweetheart, I’ll find her for you.” I promised.

“I don’t know if she wants to be found Edward, there’s a lot of things in my past that I haven‘t told you about, but I can’t share those just yet,” she begged, hoping that I would understand. “I think I know why she left, but I just don’t understand how she could leave me, her own daughter. I don‘t even know if I have brothers or sisters.”

“I promise you, I will find her, Bella,” I sighed, knowing I would do absolutely anything for this woman.

The rest of dinner was a quiet affair. I left Bella to her thoughts, while I rapidly went over a list of things that needed to be done in order to find Bella’s mother. I would keep the promise I made to Bella, my men would not fail me. I would get Jenks started once I knew her mother’s name. There would have to be a trail leading somewhere.

Bella seemed so reluctant to tell me about her past, but I would stand by and wait patiently for her to tell me. She wasn’t like the men in my business, so that meant I would not force her to tell me anything she didn’t want to. Patience is a virtue.

After we had finished eating, Bella and I cleaned up the dishes together. Playful Bella emerged, while washing dishes, gathering soap suds in her hands and blowing them at me, causing me to chase her around the kitchen. She squeal and giggled like a happy-go-lucky child without a care in the world, I couldn’t help but beam on the inside for making her feel this way.

I caught her around the waist, picked her up, and twirled her around. The giggling continued, only getting louder, when I started to tickle her sides. Her arms and legs were flailing around, as she squirmed, laughing like crazy. I sat her back down on the floor, turning her to face me, and crashed her lips to mine. I may be 26 years old, but this woman brought out the child in me.

“I really like you, Bella, and I’m falling for you quickly. Please say you’ll be my girlfriend,” I said, while looking directly into her eyes, hoping that I was portraying my honesty and genuineness.

Girlfriend. Pfft! Makes me sound like I’m 15 again. I thought.

“I’m falling for you too, Edward, and I’d love nothing more than to be your girlfriend,” Bella blushed, as her lips found purchase in mine.

Soon after our little make out session, we finished the dishes. I thought a soak in the hot tub would do us both some good.

“How about we go soak in the hot tub, would you like that?” I questioned.

“That sounds perfect to be honest,” Bella sighed.

We made our way up to my room, neither of us bothering to change into swimwear. Bella stretched out on the bed, while I got the hot tub going out on the balcony. I figured that this would help with some of the soreness, that I was sure Bella was feeling from our love-making sessions. I had yet to make love to her, but I promised myself that it would happen soon. Yes, we’ve been having sex, but you could only call that raw, unadulterated fucking. I couldn’t help that I wanted to devour her; she was a siren, if you will.

“You ready?” I asked, as I came back in from the balcony, Bella laying clad in only the sexiest lingerie set I had ever seen. My mouth agape, staring wide eyed. Her barely there, blue, lacey panties and her blue, lacey bra. I could see her nipples standing tall for me. Exquisite. I couldn’t help myself, something within me snapped at that moment.

I picked her up, carried her over to the wall, and pushed her back up against the wall of glass.

Without even thinking, I ripped the flimsy fabric that made up her panties, away from her body. I could see her perfectly round ass, pressed up against the glass, as her legs wrapped around my waist.

I pulled her bra down below her tits and took the left one in my mouth, biting hard on her taut, pink nipple. She cried out as I sucked and tasted her each beautiful breast, as I ran my hand up to her drenching wet core. I had to have a taste of the heavenly ambrosia.

I put her feet down on the floor and completely removed her bra and panties, to where she stood before me, gloriously naked.

I pushed her back against the wall again and spread her legs out to where I would be able to take her all in. I fell to my knees, with absolutely no grace, and thanked God for having a tongue. I had to worship this woman. She was my deity, a pure goddess of sin.

I positioned my hands on the heart of her thighs, as I helped keep her steady. Her gorgeous, bare sex, was spread before me like a bountiful feast; that only I had the freedom to enjoy. I ran my tongue over her clit, her juices flowing into my mouth, as a ripe fruit, upon the first bite. I felt her quiver and moan at my meager touch.

"Yes, Edward." Oh my God. She was studying me with lustful eyes, as I drank from her nectar.

I flicked her clit harshly, then nibbled at it. Her shallow breaths and the shake of her body, confirmed that I could effortlessly make her cum just like this. I wanted nothing more than to make her feel quick gratification. Fuck my needs. My only need at the moment was to make her feel full of life. She looked at me longingly, as she ran her tongue across her teeth.

I ran my tongue along the outside of her sweet folds. Never, in all my life, had I tasted something so mouth-watering. This had to be the exact nectar of the gods. How was I so fucking blessed to drink from this? I felt her knees wobble. Just a few more minutes and she would be forever mine.

I used my tongue to stretch her folds open wider, ramming it deep into her heated core. She cried out but never took her chocolate orbs off me. I flicked my tongue hard and fast and deep inside of her core. I had to make her cum. To scream. I had to savor her nectar. I continued the action with my tongue.

She was so tepid and yielding. I couldn't spoil this by letting an alternative part of my body touch her. I wanted it to be my tongue that, made her body sing and shatter with white lights.

She cried out and ultimately she gave in to her orgasm, never breaking eye contact. I smiled as I slowed down the movement of my tongue, but kept licking, because she her nectar only got sweeter. With no going back, I used my fingers to flick her clit hard, as I continued to drink in her orgasm.

Once she had ridden out the extent of her climax, I stood up and kissed her. Long, hard, passionately and deep. My tongue collided with hers and she moaned deep in my mouth. Kissing her, was the most horrible blunder I had ever made. It was impossible. Right? I had lasted through, yes, another one of the finest pussy eating’s I had ever given, and one kiss from this woman, I had shot my load in my pants. What the hell! What am I, 17 again? I thought.

With that, I carried her naked body out into the night air, and stepped into the hot tub, sinking us into the hot, roaring water. I held her tightly in my lap, soaking up every ounce of time we had together. I would cherish this woman for the rest of my life. She has ruined me for any other woman. No other could make me feel so alive, so free, so loved. Whether we both wanted to admit it right now or not, I knew what we had was pure, unadulterated love.

Sitting there, cuddled together, I massaged the muscles in her thighs, hoping that I was bringing some much needed relief to her. She had to be absolutely sore, I’ve done nothing but ravish her since we met. Silent moans escaped her plump lips, taunting my cock, but I willed him away the best that I could. The water was glistening off her naked tits, in the pale moonlight. Exquisite.

Awhile later, we sat, gazing at the stars, each of us pointing out constellations in the sky. This was one of the reasons I had chosen to live outside of the city. I wanted to be able to look up in the sky and see the twinkling lights. Now I had another reason, which was easily the expansive yard, that I one day hoped to fill with little ones running about.

I never seen myself having children before, but now, I could see them clearly in my future. The woman, cuddled up to me, had me wanting it all now.
