Chapter Eighty-Six

EPOV

Who would have thought that dry humping would be so erotic? Yes, I'd had sex with Bella and felt her tight pussy all around me, but what we did on the bed in El Tovar was more intimate than all of the fucking we did in Chicago. Why? Because it wasreal. It wasn't two friends pretending to be 'fuck buddies' and denying their feelings.

And like I told Bella, it wasn't dry... I had a boxerful of spunk that needed to be remedied. "Bells, baby, I need you to get up," I chuckled, almost hating to do so since she was all cute, cuddly and post coital. Her lips were attached to my neck as she lightly scratched down my back.

"Hmmm," she said, kissing up to my earlobe. "Why?"

"Because I have to address the situation I have in my jeans," I snickered, nuzzling her hair. "Dry humping my ass." She giggled. With a soft kiss behind my ear, she slid off my lap and smirked while I stiffly walked to the bathroom. She looked freshly fucked, happy and so sexy with her curls disheveled and lips swollen from my kisses. I shook my head, walking to the bathroom to clean up and get ready for bed. Stripping out of my jeans and shirt, I simply threw out my boxers since that would not be fun to wash. I pulled on another pair of boxers along with some basketball shorts. I was brushing my teeth when I heard a quiet knock on the bathroom door.

"Edward, I'm an idiot. I forgot to pack some pajamas for myself. I left them on the bed of the hotel in Mesa. Can I wear your button-down from tonight?" she asked quietly. I opened the bathroom door, picking up my shirt from the floor. She was blushing as she held up her dress with her hands. "Thank you."

"Anything for you, Bells," I said, cupping her face. I gave her the shirt and she turned to get ready for bed. Popping out my contacts, I put on my glasses and walked back into the bedroom. Bella was folding her dress, putting it in our suitcase. Her ass was on display, showing me the most adorable pair of pink and black leopard panties. I bit back a groan, ignoring her luscious ass as I climbed into bed. She stood up, pulling my shirt over her hips. It fell to mid-thigh and she looked so fucking sexy wearing my clothes. She blew me a kiss, sashaying to the bathroom to get ready for bed as well.

I must have dozed off because I jumped awake when Bella was taking off my glasses. "What time is it?" I asked, barely coherently.

"Time for bed, counselor," she said quietly, placing my glasses on the nightstand.

"Kay," I said, laying back on the pillows. "I'm so happy, Bells. My Bells."

"Me, too, Edward," she murmured, pressing a kiss to my bare chest and snuggling against my body.

We slept in late the next morning. Well, Bella slept in late. I spent the morning watching her. Her cheek was right over my heart, with her arm slung across my belly and her legs twined with mine. I was so happy when she said that she wanted to be with me, in a relationship. I could understand her trepidation, but the fact that she was willing to put herself out there and open her heart to me, gave me hope that we would make it.

We left the El Tovar hotel shortly after noon, driving back to Mesa for the night game with the Cubs against the Mariners. Bella was nursing a pretty substantial hangover. She slept in the backseat of the car while I drove us back to the resort just outsideof Mesa. "I'm still feeling icky," Bella said as we walked back into our suite.

"Do you not want to go to the game tonight?" I asked.

"I do, but I think I'm going to sleep some more," she yawned. "I'm sorry that I'm being such a killjoy."

"You did drink me under the table," I snorted. She rolled her eyes, climbing into the bed. "I'm going to wander the grounds. Send me a text if you need anything, Bells." She smiled before curling up around the pillows. Making sure I had my cell phone and key, I left her to take a nap. As I was wandering the grounds, my cell phone rang. I didn't check who it was when I picked up. "Hello?"

A/N: Leave me some, folks! I need some positive reinforcement! ;-)
