She's silent for a moment, and I wonder what she thinks I'm implying here.
I'm close to panicking when she frowns for a second, but then her forehead is smooth again, a light smile on her lips.
“What is this all about?”
I decide to just spill it, I can always tease her tomorrow, right now I should go easy on her if I want her to be comfortable with the idea.
“Beth is having a play party in three weeks. Wanna go there with me?” I expect the frown to come back, but Bella's smile stays, even though she hesitates for a little while.
“I guess.”
“You guess? Doesn't sound too good.”
Now she's sneering, but it's a playful sneer.
“Seriously, you, me, a room full of people who're likely to be okay with any kind of PDA you come up with, I wonder if I'll get brain damage from blushing.”
Her accusation makes me laugh, but I hold myself back after a moment when Bella in fact scowls at me. I bring my hands up in a defensive gesture, trying to pacify her as I mimic taking an oath.
“I solemnly swear, I will behave myself and only grope you when you want me to.”
“See, that's the problem!”
“What's the problem?”
She sighs, exasperated.
“Edward, I always want you to grope me! Well, maybe not in front of your parents, but you know what I mean. I protest, of course, because that's what I do, but we both know that I'm terribly easy to persuade that it's a good thing when you have your hand inside my pants! Oh, and that solemnly swearing I only believe when you end that sentence with 'I'm up to no good'.”
I roll my eyes at her and grumble something under my breath about pop culture references, but she just looks too cute, all agitated from her accusation. She's right, of course, but I'm trying to be good and really mean it.
“Beth and Gerard will be there, and Peter and Charlotte, too, rest assured that I will behave myself just because one half of them would have my ass for being stupid, and the other would frown upon my improper behavior.
After all I have a reputation to uphold, and as much as I love to tease you, I'm not going to get banned from any community events just because I feel like biting your juicy ass in front of everyone.”
For some reason my half-assed argumentation seems to work, as Bella stops frowning and snuggles closer to me.
“Okay.”
“Okay what?”
“Okay, let's go to that play party. I just don't have anything to wear. And before you start, no, I'm so not going naked.”
I chuckle at her decisive tone, and earn myself a badly aimed punch in the arm for that.
“Stop it, I really mean it! And don't tell me you didn't think of that already, I know you better than that!”
Of course she does, and I'm wisely keeping my tongue.
“We'll find something for you to wear, I'm sure. But I thought it'd take longer for me to persuade you to come.”
Bella sighs, the sound coming out with the wariness I've been expecting.
“Look, of course I'm a little anxious, and I'm sure that the closer the day of the party is, the more I will be nervous and all, but I know that there’s no need for me to fret over this. I trust you, even when I accuse you of being a mean bastard. I know that you wouldn't ask me to go there with you if you'd think I would resent it. And I know that if I change my mind, or if I just don't like it, we'll leave.”
Then she looks up, a dirty smile forming on those luscious lips.
“And after all, it's in Beth's playroom, right? Where I f**ked your ass the last time we were there, actually both times we were there. I don't think I have any need to be afraid of going there again.”
Now my c**k is definitely awake, and she feels it pressing into her stomach, causing her smile to turn into a veritable smirk.
“I guess not.”
We could keep talking about this for a while longer, but I decide that I'd rather kiss her now, and she doesn't protest when I do exactly that. At first she's pliable enough, but then she pushes herself into a crouching position over me and squeezes my c**k hard while her teeth sink into my lip.
“Speaking of which, I think I should call Beth tomorrow if maybe she'd like to play with us again. You've been a horny bastard of late, always pestering me in the morning; maybe I should put you in your place again.” Her hand squeezes my dick even more until I groan, but the moment her grip eases up on me, I jerk my hips up, hoping that she won't stop there.
Bella looks down at her hand on my c**k before her eyes turn to my face again, and I grow even harder when there's no hesitation in them, no flicker of doubt.
“I don't think we'll need Beth for that, really,” I offer when she doesn't continue. Bella frowns a little and I feel her fingers ease up on me, and my c**k immediately protests. So I reach up and draw her face close to mine, kissing her passionately to show her that I trust her, and want her to trust herself.
I'm a little disappointed when she sits down on my legs again but, as her hand is still on my cock, not all hope is lost.
“I don't know if that's a good idea,” she admits, but just when I want to launch into my pep talk she runs the thumb over her other hand over the head of my cock, teasing, toying with me.
My eyes close on their own account and I groan, but before I can completely lose my thought I force myself to concentrate on her, and not on what she's doing.
