Everything You Want

Chapter 24:

Bittersweet Sentiments

 

 

 

“Cole…we… have… to… get… inside,” Bella mumbled breathlessly in between kisses as Cole pressed her up against the front door. Reluctantly pulling away, Cole dug his key out of his pocket and backed Bella into the house while his errant hands continued to peruse her soft curves.

 

Kicking the door shut behind them, Cole grabbed Bella once again, hitching her up into his arms as he took the stairs two at a time. Nudging his bedroom door open, he unceremoniously plopped her down on his bed.

 

“Wow, that was so romantic, Cole. I'm surprised you didn't knock me over the head with a blunt object or-“ Bella's nervous babbling was cut off by warm, persistent lips covering her own.

 

Nuzzling her head to the side, Cole murmured, “Shut up wench, you talk too damn much…” Eagerly Bella complied, unable to do much else considering the heat threatening to consume her mind and body. Cole ran his hands up her sides, snagging her top and pulling it over her head as he trailed butterfly kisses along the newly exposed skin.

 

Bella moaned and tugged at Cole's shirt, silently begging for something she couldn't quite put into words. Understanding instinctively, Cole shed the annoying material and resumed his previous activities, relishing the feel of skin on skin contact.

 

Every nerve ending in her body screamed for his touch, and he was driving her insane with his teasing kisses and light grazes of his finger tips along her heated flesh. Growing impatient, Bella thrust her hips against the hardness pressing into her inner thigh, causing Cole to groan and press a hard, hungry kiss to her mouth.

 

Her hands sought out the warmth of his skin, finger nails scraping along his spine. She shuddered as he tore his lips from hers and moved down to lathe the tops of breasts still concealed from his view by her satin bra. Reaching behind her, Bella flicked the back of the garment open and watched as Cole slipped the straps from her shoulders.

 

`Beautiful,' he thought dazedly as he reached up to cup the perfectly rounded mound. Using the pad of his thumb, Cole brushed trails of molten lava across the petal soft skin, causing Bella to moan and whimper at the heady sensations his caress brought forth.

 

With a ragged gasp, Bella almost arched off the bed at the feel of Cole's mouth on her breast. It took her breath away, making the tightness in her belly grow to an almost unbearable level.

 

His hands slid down her undulating body, fingers fumbling with the buttons of her jeans as his tongue continued to torture her sensitive flesh. Bella was barely aware that her jeans were even being removed until she felt the cool air on the bare skin of her legs as Cole dragged them down and off.

 

Tangling her fingers in his shaggy ebony locks, Bella pulled him up to capture his lips in a passionate kiss. Clad now only in a pair of pale, pink panties, Bella pushed him onto his back and straddled his hips. Sitting up, Bella groaned at the feel of his need for her pushing into her center, straining within the confines of his jeans.

 

Smoothing her hands over his muscular upper torso, Bella whispered, “Your turn…” as she scooted down a bit to play her fingers over the button of his jeans. Her hands trembled and her skin burned under the intense, heated gaze of Cole's lust clouded eyes.

 

Finally managing to slip the button free, Bella gulped and traced a finger over the bulge beneath his zipper. Sucking in his breath, Cole struggled to control the urge to flip Bella over and pound into her hot, willing flesh, knowing that tonight was something to be cherished. Slow and soft, not hard and fast. He would never dare do anything to frighten this gorgeous creature above him. He would give her all the time she needed to explore, to discover the differences in their bodies.

 

Rising up to her knees, Bella hooked her fingers in his belt loops and dragged the denim down, tossing them to the side as her eyes returned to appraise her handy work. Breath catching in her throat, the only word that her passion fuzzy brain could produce was, `Beautiful…'

 

Sitting up, Cole tugged the dazed girl back onto his chest, rolling them over until he was hovering above her. Smoothing her pale air back from her eyes, Cole pressed a tender kiss to her mouth as Bella sighed and wrapped her arms around his neck. Dipping his hand between their bodies, Cole pushed Bella's remaining article of clothing from her body as she quickly followed suit and rid Cole of his boxers.

 

Burying his face in Bella's neck, Cole groaned at the feel of her wetness rubbing up against his length. Completely beyond coherent thought, Bella arched her body and gasped as the movement pressed Cole's hardness into her center.

 

“Please… C-Cole… I…”

 

Growling low in his throat, Cole rose to his knees and held her hips still as he slowly began to press into her. Catching her pained gasp in his mouth, he gently eased past her virgin barrier and fully seated himself in her as Bella moaned and writhed beneath him.

 

“Shhhh, baby, I'm sorry,” he soothed softly as he kissed away the tears streaming down her cheeks. Keeping still within her, Cole mumbled comforting, unintelligible words into the shell of her ear as he stroked her cheek with the backs of his fingers.

 

After a couple of minutes, Bella felt the pain of his entrance begin to dissipate as the tightness in her stomach returned. Moving her hips experimentally, she gasped at the heady sensation his length caused as it caressed her inner walls.

 

Taking that as a hint, Cole met her upward thrust with one of his own and savored her cry of pleasure as he intertwined his fingers with hers. Closing his eyes, Cole began a steady rhythm that drove them both to the brink of insanity and back.

 

The small room gradually filled with the two's gasps and moans as they moved together in a dance as old as time itself. In each others arms they discovered that neither had ever really been complete without the other, they were two halves of one whole. Their bodies were made for one another, flesh melded together to form a perfect union of heart and soul.

 

Movements quickening in intensity as both balanced on the cusp of something they were striving toward, but was still just out of their grasp. Breaths became choked gasps and whimpers as cerulean met emerald.

 

“'Love you, forever,” Cole whispered.

 

“Forever, love you, too,” Bella sighed and then cried out his name as her body tightened and constricted around him, forcing Cole over the edge with the sound of her name spilling from his lips.

 

Exhausted, Cole rolled to the side with Bella trapped firmly in his arms. Pulling the blanket over their trembling forms, Cole sighed in contentment as he buried his nose into the damp curls at the base of her neck.

 

Snuggling into chest, Bella mirrored his contented sigh and stroked a lazy hand up and down the arm carelessly slung over her waist.

 

“Good God… that was terrible,” Bella teased and giggled as Cole lightly bit her shoulder.

 

“Yeah, I could tell from all the moaning and whimpering just how `terrible' it was,” Cole murmured as he continued to bathe the salty skin of her neck with his tongue.

 

“Mmmm, nice…”

 

Cole snickered and leaned up to press a kiss to the tip of her nose. Eyes intense and serious, Cole whispered, “Don't ever leave me again, Bella. Promise me.”

 

Framing his face with her hands, Bella murmured, “Never, I promise. You, too. Promise me you'll never leave me, either.”

 

“Never, baby. I'll never leave you…”

 

Peaceful and satisfied, Bella and Cole drifted off into dreamless slumber. Both content in the knowledge that despite the obstacles that had stood in their path to happiness, they had somehow found their way back to grace, never to be parted again…

 

 

 

 

 

Shielding her eyes from the bright mid morning sunlight streaming through Cole's bedroom window, Bella rolled over and searched blindly for the warmth she knew should be at her side. Hands encountering empty space, Bella opened her eyes and sighed.

 

Holding the blanket to her breasts, Bella sat up and looked over to where Cole had been lying beside her. Drowsy, blue eyes spotting a piece of tablet paper upon his pillow, Bella reached over and smiled as she read the note Cole had left her before his departure.

 

 

 

Bella,

 

`Morning sleepy head, sorry to leave before you woke up, but the library called and asked me to come in for a few hours, and me being the kind, wonderful person I am, could not refuse their desperate plea for help. Get a shower, get dressed (or come naked, whatever), and meet me at our spot in the park at 1:30. I'll bring lunch and we can have a picnic or some crap like that. Sound good, baby? Alrighty then, see you later…

 

 

Love You,

Cole

 

 

 

Giggling, Bella snuggled back down into her pillow as her mind drifted back to the previous night's activities. Never had she ever felt so complete, so happy then she had when Cole was inside her, filling her. It was like something she had never even knew she lost had found its way back, a piece of her that only Cole could give.

 

Sighing happily, Bella climbed out of bed and set about getting ready for her rendezvous with Cole in the park.

 

 

 

 

 

Turning her face up to catch the warm rays of the sun beaming down upon her, Bella grinned and enjoyed the sounds of spring all around her. It was as if nature was singing for her, bathing in the glow of her happiness. The birds and flowers and trees all combined in a joyous song celebrating the perfect union of two unique souls.

 

`Could this day be any more perfect?' she mused to herself as she searched the street for any sign of her absent lover. Stomach suddenly churning with a disquieting unease she couldn't explain, Bella shielded her anxious eyes and attempted to ease the fluttering in her belly.

 

A relieved smile breaking out upon her face, Bella stood up and waved as she caught site of Cole jogging toward her with a plastic bag swinging in his hand. Returning her happy grin, Cole waved back and started his way across the street to where she was waiting.

 

He never even saw the car speeding toward him.

 

One minute he was running to her and the next her ears were filled with the sickening thump of soft flesh hitting hard metal.

 

There was the sound of the bag Cole had been carrying hitting the pavement with a flurry of plastic and a dull thump.

 

And then… Bella's world was silent and still, the last words he'd said to her before they'd fallen asleep the night before echoing through her mind.

 

`Never baby. I'll never leave you…'
