Chapter
4 – The Kiss
Bella woke up without any movement, because the
tranquility of the cabin, thought he was alone, but as he turned, he saw Edward
sitting at the table, reading their books. I was so absorbed in his work that
seemed to have forgotten his presence. Bella watched in silence, could not deny
he was handsome, physically perfect, in fact, when he still had hopes of having
a family dreamed of a man like him. But in none of these innocent romantic
dreams his love held her against her will to satisfy their basest desires.
– Feel better? –. Ed inquired had diverted his
attention to the girl and found her watching him, stood with a wry smile and
said – I hope you're hungry. I've been waiting for her to take the breakfast.
Bella sat in the corner of the bed covering
the bust with the sheets and with unkempt hair over her shoulders.
– I'll get dressed – mumbled to see that he
approached and leaned on one of the bunk wooden columns.
– If this is what you should do, my love ... –
he said in a gentle tone. – Want to help?
Bella was startled to hear his offer.
– Do not touch me! – She exclaimed.
– Look! I see that my cat has sharp claws. I
do–there purr, honey?
– If you approach scream – she threatened him.
White teeth flashed to Edward grabs there wrists
and draw there for you. Bella looked in the eye.
– Think serve something? – He asked him,
enjoying the situation. – My men know unless the call should not bother me in
my moments of rest. In addition, honey, I can easily drown her cries with my
kisses.
Bella pulled away from him with a shudder,
could feel Edward's gaze on his naked body, he laughed again and grabbed her
around the waist.
– It's really tempting, my lady – he said –
but it is not yet time for your second lesson. My servant is waiting to serve
us food. – He released it and opened a cupboard near the bed, from which
extracted a man's robe. He offered. – It's a little big for you, but it's the
best I can offer you right now – he added with a wry smile – This afternoon'll
take you to buy some dresses. If you're like the other women, to animate it.
Bella wore the robe quickly. It was huge; the
sleeves hung and had to lift him to be able to walk without dragging it. Ed
smiled and his eyes lit up when observed there. Soon he helped to pitch.
If one can be jealous of a simple robe, my
lady, so I am this, and had life guarantee would adjust the accounts with him.
– May I have some privacy so you can trim me,
sir? – Set robe tightly around his neck and prayed quietly – Please.
– Your wish is my command, milady. There are
some issues concerning the charge that require my attention, so have some time.
As soon as he left, she sighed with relief and
approached the sink. Poured some water and rubbed each centimeter of the body
until the skin has taken a healthy pink. He wanted a bath that could flood up
is to erase all trace of him. I wanted to forget the thin layer of sweat
dampened his body and hers, the feel of his hands, his suffocating kisses. All.
The slightest evidence to reveal that it had been him.
Cold water was comforting. The old and the
pink dress shirt, made her feel much better. The best he could with his hands
and returned the gown to the cabinet is combed. In doing so, he realized the
elegant clothes and face clearly inside him. Irritated to think he could not
make fun of your belongings or secret.
He approached resolutely bunk and with renewed
anger, began to straighten the sheets until he discovered the bloodstains. He
tore the sheets enraged and threw them on the floor.
Edward heard the laughter behind her, turned
and, with bright eyes and reddish faces, looked at him. I was in the doorway;
He had returned quietly. He turned his attention the angry young face to the
sheets that were on the floor, then looked up, closed the door and leaned
against it with mocking expression. Bella turned her back muttering, hated him
for laughing at her. It was obnoxious, even with that crooked smile of
breathtaking.
Edward approached the
young man slid his arms around her waist and pulled her close.
– Really believed that with this face and this
body could remain chaste long, honey? – He asked in a low, deep voice, smelling
her hair – was made for love, and it is not certain that saddens me the least
you have made woman before other men did. Nor I feel guilty pleasure it gave
me. I beg you to have no blame me for me bewitched by her beauty and want you
just for me. Not doing so would be a difficult task for any man. You see, my
lady, I am the prisoner, enchanted under her spell.
Bella shuddered as she felt his burning lips
on his neck. Her heart pounding strongly.
– You have no conscience? – He said with a
choked voice. – Do not mind that I do not want to be here? I'm not one of your
whores or have no desire to be.
– Do not want to now, my love, but will do
later – he assured her. – If you agree to go now, never to see him because of
what happened between us. If we had known in other circumstances, I would have
been able to woo you with gallantry and would have led to my bed with kind words.
But we started to reverse. Scared–ae as a bird runs away from his hunter, you
run away from me. So you want to stand next to me, I have to demonstrate that
it is not so bad to be my lover. You have everything you want.
– I had heard stories about Yankees – she said
mischievously – but had never believed them to be true until I met him.
Edward threw his head back and let out a
hearty laugh.
– It's a whole Englishwoman, milady.
– Just tell me why me? – He asked and raised
his arms. – Tell why I have to be the victim of his desires when there are
thousands of women far more willing than me! Would not find much fun in
practicing their perverse games with a woman who enjoyed instead of doing it
with one that does not support your presence?
Edward mocked his anger.
– It has a very sharp tongue, milady. It hurts
me deeply. But the reasons are very simple. Look up and you will realize that
it is exceptional; like a breath of fresh air after a night in a crowded bar –
he sat behind the desk and relaxed watching. – You are very desirable, and
truly worth it to have a jewel as this is possible. The challenge of conquest–there–ons.
Nobody had rejected me before.
– For should have done it – she replied. –
Probably would then have learned to be a gentleman. – He gave his back in
frustration. I could not talk to that brazen, presumptuous and arrogant. He
played with trap. There were not enough words to describe how I felt about it.
All I knew is that abandon him and his miserable cabin even if it was the last
thing to do in life.
At the end of a moment, George entered the
cabin with a large tray loaded with breakfast. The servant ran a shy smile to
Bella as she left the food on the table, but she turned away. George looked
confused his captain, who smiled and nodded to direct you to continue with what
I was doing. When the table was served, Edward pulled out a chair for Bella to
sit down.
– If you have the goodness – he invited her
with a grin. – Me is frankly difficult to eat while standing up glaring at me
with the look. Now sit down and, for a change, be a good girl.
Bella sat quietly and tasted the food was
delicious, I had never tasted anything like that, but your emotional state took
you all hunger. George looked at her, I would like there, but did not know what
to do. He decided to leave the cabin, but faced s piled sheets and get them
eyes widened when he saw the blood stain, which came out more quickly.
– I will not tolerate your bad mood on my
desk, Isabella – warned her calmly – even if it's rude to my men. In their
presence will behave like a lady.
Edward continued to stare at it and observing
the dress she wore felt uncomfortable; despite being a beautiful costume was
made for a younger girl and made him feel he had stolen a baby crib. It was not
the kind of clothes you would like for your lover, nor a threadbare shirt he
had seen her wearing earlier.
Once finished eating, Edward returned to his
desk to work on their books. Bella, very restless and unsure what to do, began
to walk through the cabin until he left. On this occasion it was out the need
for the young gather enough courage to try to escape. But poorly planned his
escape because he left met him giving orders to a member of his crew. Enraged,
he closed the door with a thud. Edward had discovered and was mocking her.
After the midday meal, satisfied his appetite,
Edward pushed his chair back from the table and examined the girl once more.
Silence filled the place. Bella swallowed hard, running away from his gaze. She
knew her wishes came on again and could not keep her heart race.
Edward's voice was deep and full of passion.
– Come here, Bella– ordered him.
She froze in his chair, he never called so.
Not obey. He would be put. I could not frighten there. He shook his head and
managed to mumble a weak:
– No.
Edward narrowed his eyelids and smiled a wry
smile.
– Do I really admire your courage, ma cherie,
but thinks it's smart resist? – He asked. – You know as well as I do not have
enough strength to prevent get what I want. Would not it be better to admit
defeat and come voluntarily?
Bella shuddered. I was terrified. He got up
slowly, with trembling legs, biting her lower lip, went to him. He smiled
calmly, grabbed her arm pulling her to him and sitting her on his knees. She
remained rigid as he kissed her neck.
– Do not fear – whispered. – I will not hurt
you.
Kissed her trembling lips and, holding her
closely, he separated them. Bella leaned on his chest, weak and tearful. His
kisses continued for what seemed like an eternity. By sliding the hand on his
thigh and rise to their sex, the girl moaned and tried to move away from it. He
could not break his grip. Edward kissed her on the commissure of the lips,
chin, ear.
– Not oppose – murmured. – Enjoy.
– I can not – she said, choking.
– Sure he can – he has restored.
With moist and parted lips was the neck to the
curves of her breasts over her dress, sipping the improvement of his flesh. She
caressed her breasts without haste, the valley that was between them to its top
bristling under the dress. Ed's breath quickened, and with every breath seared
the skin of the girl. Very excited, she undid her bra and kissed her bare
flesh.
Suddenly someone knocked on the cabin door. Ed
frowned. Bella, with a desperate reaction, pressed clothes to her chest,
embarrassed, and tried to pull away when he loosened his embrace. But Edward
again narrows there firmly, forcing it to stay put. His indignation was evident
when he said the intruder to enter.
– Damn, between! – She exclaimed.
George opened the door. Seeing them blushed.
– I apologize, Captain – apologized – but
there came a messenger part of a trader who wants to talk to you about the
shipment. The man says that his boss would be interested in buying all the rice
and indigo if he had a meeting with you and come to an agreement.
– You want me to go? – Edward asked in
disbelief. – Why the hell it does not come to Fleetwood as everyone else?
– The man is crippled, captain – said the
servant. – If you are in agreement, will give a look at the load to calculate
the approximate cost and then see.
Edward muttered a barely perceptible words
with a serious expression on face.
– Follow Mr. Boniface. George – told him. –
When you have finished bring the man here.
George left closing the door behind him.
Edward let grudgingly Isabella, who rushed to the seat cushion and put the
clothes in a hurry. He approached the desk and sat in his chair without taking
his eyes of the young, still flushed.
There at one time the messenger arrived. Bella
turned around and buried his head in the seat cushions. The fact that someone
could see her in the cabin of Captain Edward Cullen shamed the extreme. He
dishonors on his face and wanted to die had checked. Could be seen through the
windows as the water struck the side of the merchant ship hull moored next to
them and speculated about the possibility of letting the water ran out with
their problems. But I did not have enough courage. He approached the window to
better observe dark and rushing river without realizing that the messenger was
gone and Edward was behind her. To lay his hand on the shoulder of the girl, it
is a start. The man began to laugh with tenderness and sank into the cushions
beside her, playing with one of the curls that fell to him on the bust.
– I'm afraid I let there for a few hours,
Bella, but soon it is possible for me to be back – said. – I instructed George
to the watch, so I pray you do not do it hard. Despite what happened last
night, it is a tender soul when it comes to women. I told him I want her here
when you get back, so do not try to escape. Esfolarei him alive to flee. In
addition, the back lies there even if you have to take down the whole of
London.
– I do not care if you are skinning or not his
men – she said – but if you introduce me to the opportunity to escape, do not
doubt that will take advantage.
Edward raised an eyebrow.
– Bella In this case, I will take you there
with me.
– Oh no! –Suplicou Her, alarmed. – Please. I
beg you. Die of shame if he did. Please do not. If you want to stay here
reading. I promise you.
Edward looked at her in surprise.
– Can you read – inquired.
– Yes – sweetly replied the girl.
A smile. There were not many women who could
read. He felt a new respect for the young.
– Well – finally agreed. – Stay. I'll stop
along the way in a clothing store that he may dress like a woman. Now stands
up, and let me see what your size.
Bella obeyed him, inhibited, and turned slowly
as shown. His eyes scanned the body of the girl doing an evaluation.
– Her measurements are those of an ant –
noted.
– There are people who say I'm too skinny –
Isabella said, remembering the Victoria aunt insults.
Edward laughed.
– I can imagine the jealous witch who said it.
A slight smile broke out on Bella's face when
he realized that Edward seemed to describe Victoria aunt, but faded as quickly
as it had appeared.
– Wow! – Edward smiled. – I knew that sooner
or later could snatch a smile Miss.
– Thanks to you I have very few things to be
happy – he said.
– There we are again, right? – He said,
chuckling. – His humor is very changeable, my lady – rose and stood behind her.
– Now let's see if melted some ice covering her lips. I would like to feel a
little heat for a change. Come, kiss me like you would a mistress. I have no
more time.
Bella sighed relieved to not have to suffer
again the art of loving their doings. He decided that a little effort, giving
in to their protests, it would not hurt and it might try to escape. He turned,
and with a new determination, slid his arms behind his neck and brought his
head to hers. Edward's eyebrows shot up at the thought of this new change, but
Bella, not wanting him to stop to think about this for a long time, pressed her
wet and warm lips on his. He is looking for the little experience that he had
kissed him long and passionately, arching the body ...
