Late sex for late goodbyes

Edward never though he would be called again to serve the nation. He had his fair share with Afganistan. He entered the Army when his mother died and hope for action and money to help his little brother enter Med School. What he didn’t imagine was that they would put his Archeological Engeneering hobbie to use and rescue what was left of the Middle east Archeological sites. He was finally home. He, Ronald and Alice where safe and they had money to live by.

Alice was their childhood friend, their most beloved friend. She was  the one who took them in when they got evicted once they couldn’t pay the mortage their mother put on the house to get them trough college. She was the one that decide to change her career path when she knew he had to go trough so much therapy to walk again. She was the one that decided the house was too big for her alone and offered permanent residence to them.

He didn’t want to do this to her nor Ronald. But he just couldn’t refuse this. The General wasn’t a filantropic folk, and he didn’t care for the archeological sites, but he knew Ed was good with locals and often his arqueological errands helped them get through without unnecessary bloodbath. He needed him, and Edward couldn’t give him a cold shoulder.

It was night as he slowly made his way down the hallway. His feet gliding across the floor careful not to make any noise. So far no one had heard a thing, he was so close to leaving, but something was holding him back. His eyes glanced over to a wooden door; his reason for hesitation was behind that door, the only thing that was causing his feet to halt.

‘No! If I stop now it will only make things harder,’ he repeated over and over in his head. Then why are you still standing here? The voice in his head asked.

‘I’m going, just give me a moment,’ he snapped back.

A moment to do what? Admire the craftsmanship of the door?

‘Of course not. I still have time, I’ll stay just a little longer, and then I’ll be gone.’

Ok, right. The voice replied.

‘Ah! Why am I fighting with myself?’ Ed asked swearing at himself for acting so stupid.

But no matter how long he argued with the voice in his head he still couldn’t move. Slowly he raised a hand and touched the door, sliding his fingers across its smooth surface. How many times had he walked past this door in the middle of the night and paused looking at the handle desperately wanting to reach out for it? Every time saying some other time, now isn’t right. Only now was the only and last time, it was now or never. He let his hand drop to his side.

“Why do I make things so hard,” he grumbled under his breath. He looked forward, all he needed to do was walk a little more, leave the note on the table, and then walk out the door. What was so hard about that?

He sighed deeply, knowing it was one of the hardest things he would ever need to do. Again he looked over at the door, giving in he reached for the door handle. “I must be an idiot,” he whispered to himself as he pushed the door open.

Inside was the reason for his hesitation, a barely visible outline of a person sleeping on a bed. Her soft breathing the only sound filling the room.

Ed’s set down his suitcase and closed the door quietly. He walked towards the sleeping girl, his heart thumping louder and louder in his chest as every second passed.

He was surprised she had not woken up yet considering his heart was beating like a drum against his ribs. He was about to reach out to her, and pull away a stay hair that had fallen in her face but stopped suddenly when a hand flew out towards him holding a pan.

Luckily for him he managed to grab her wrist, stopping the metal object only inches from his head.

“Ed? What the hell are you doing?” Alice asked, breathing heavily after being woken up so suddenly.

Edward let her wrist go, it took a few seconds to gather himself as well before he could speak, “I’m leaving.” He replied. “The General has some simple tasks that need to be done. I could take a few months. I’m really not sure but it’s not dangerous; they know I’ve had my fill with things like that. So you don’t need to worry,” he quickly added, hopping for it to be true. Alice only stared back at him her face as blank as paper.

“I know it is sudden, but if Ronald knew he would insist on coming with me. And I can’t drag him away from his studies”. His voice was a little shaky but he managed to continue. “I was going to leave without telling anyone.”

“Then why are you here telling me?” Alice whispered holding back tears that were quickly forming in her eyes.

Edward swallowed deeply. This was it; he had to tell her, he had rehearsed this moment over and over again in his mind so why couldn’t he just say it now. As his eyes met with hers he soon realized why it was so hard, in his mind she didn’t look at him with sadness and tears weren’t running down her cheeks.

He licked his lips nervously desperately trying to form words but as he was about to speak she reached up and pulled him down so he was sitting next to her.

Alice smiled at him weakly then nodded urging him to continue.

“I just felt that you deserved to know because…well…I,” come on Ed your so close keep going! His voice cheered inside his head. Say it I LOVE YOU!

Just as he was getting enough courage to continue Alice brushed her lips lightly against his.

Edward didn’t move, even when his eyes were wide with surprise, slowly, he let his eyes drift closed, shutting out everything except her soft lips against his. Unconsciously he started to lean forward letting his mouth press closer to hers.

He pulled away his face flushed red, “Are you doing this to get me to stay?” he asked. He could not belive what was happening.

Alice only smiled back at him her eyes giving away her true intentions. “Well, is it working?” she replied.

Edward leaned closer to her, “Maybe,” he whispered huskily before catching her mouth with his. This kiss was not as chaste as the last as Ed easily slid his tongue between her lips causing her to moan as he explored her mouth knowing which places were most sensitive.

Alice wrapped her arm around his neck while the other was busy caressing his chest. She smiled against his mouth when she felt him shiver under her touch. She leaned back suddenly pulling Edward down with her; the bed creaked softly under the weight of the two.

He brushed his mouth to her neck, pressing hot kisses down to her collar bone. Alice released her hand from around his neck letting her fingers run through his hair, finding the string that held it back. With one swift tug his hair fell loose grazing her face causing her to giggle as it tickled her nose.

Gently Alice dragged his face back towards hers, teasing his mouth with her tongue. She let out a gasp when she felt his hand drop; with agonizing slowness he slid his fingers across her thigh pulling the fabric of her nightgown off with his hand. Then suddenly he stopped.

“What is it?” she asked, her voice a little rough from the current situation.

Ed’s eyes narrowed, glowing like two green orbs in the moonlit room, “No matter what happens tonight, before the sun rises, I must go.”

Alice ran her hand across his cheek, drawing faint patters with her fingernail, “I know, but for now you’re here.”

Edward only nodded back kissing her lightly before sliding the nightgown off of her body. She shivered when the cold air hit her bare skin, but was quickly warmed when Edward let his hands wander over the curves of her body. Her small hands finally slid into his loose shirt. Her hands caressed his hot skin, her fingers equally burning as she slid his coat and shirt off, throwing them in a heap on the ground.

Her hands ran down his chest stopping on the large scar just before his right arm. “It’s a miracle that you regained so much mobility of your limbs when you came back,” she whispered.

“Yes, but it hurts sometimes, a dull reminder of my past mistakes,” he replied smoothly.

She leaned forward and kissed the scarred skin, knowing that it would not take away all the pain but she felt like she had to do something.

Edward moaned when he felt her press open mouthed kisses across his chest, sending his senses almost to the edge. He shivered again when her hand glided across the tense muscles of his back eventually stopping at his waist. He bit back another moan when she started to run her finger across his belt buckle, sliding her finger across the smooth metal taunting him before tugging at the buckle until it came undone. Ed’s breathing became quicker as he felt the welcoming friction against his now hard member. He sat up on his knees and quickly removed his pants and undergarments not wanting to wait any longer.

Once the rest of his clothing was thrown unwanted to the ground he returned his attention to Alice, he gently entered her mouth letting his teeth rub against her tongue when she withdrew. Alice moaned into his mouth, fueling Ed’s desire for her as his fingers started to explore her body.

Deciding that Alice had teased him enough it was his turn to make her squirm with pleasure.

A mischievous grin came across Ed’s face as he slowly lowered his hand. Alice could only look back with questioning eyes, but she soon found out what Edward was intending to do. He easily slid his fingers between her legs, she closed her eyes not being able to comprehend anything but the wonderful feeling that Edward had inflamed within her.

Reaching up she let her hand wander through his hair, as he continued to pump his fingers in and out. She sucked in a breath curling her fingers closer to his scalp when he wiggled his fingers teasingly wanting to get a reaction. Smoothing her fingers through the gold hair tangled around them she pulled Edward down towards her.

“I need you,” she whispered her voice laced with desire.

He placed his mouth next to her ear; she could feel his hot breath against her, “Are you sure?” he asked.

She responded by arching her hips up grinding his cock against her inner thigh. Edward moaned echoing her own gasp at the unbelievably wonderful body contact. He lowered himself so that his chest pressed lightly against hers while still keeping his weight off. Taking hold of her legs he brought them closer to his waist dragging her along with him so there hips were only inches apart. Edward positioned himself over her ready to enter, but he was hesitating.

“If you want to stop now I understand,” Edward said desperately trying to hold himself back.

Alice’s eyes turned from lust filled to angry, “Damn it Edward, if you even think about stopping now I will hit you with that wrench.”

A smile crept across Ed’s face, “You ready?” he asked.

Alice placed her hands firmly around his neck then nodded, with that Edward entered her with one swift thrust. Alice cried out loudly from both pleasure and pain, her nails digging into his back. Edward was quick to calm her by placing his finger to her lips.

He kissed her forehead softly whispering apologizes. He knew that it probably hurt her a little but that it would not last very long. “Don’t worry I’ll wait until you are ready.” Ed said running his hand down her cheek lovingly. He didn’t know how long had been Alice without sex, but it seemed longer than he toughed.

Alice smiled back at him, her breathing slowly returning to a normal pace, “I’m ready now. fuck me Edward.”

Slowly, he trusted into her, keeping it at a slow pace until she was fully use to him.

It didn’t take long before Alice whispered hotly to him for more. Edward complied speeding up his pace driving deeper into the inviting warmth. Alice reacted by arching her back each time he bore down on her, pressing their hips closer together, feeling him move deeper inside of her as he entered. The bed creaked from the movements of the two, but Edward no longer cared if anyone heard them. The only thing he cared about at the moment was showing his love to Alice before he left.

Fucking before going didn’t feel right to him, but somehow It was the only way to make it right for them.

For a time Alice was able to match Ed’s pace, she moaned feverishly feeling as if she was on the brink of pure ecstasy, dancing along with him to the ancient rhythm of love, but slowly she could feel her heart and breathing speed up drastically letting her know that her body was near its limit.

Allowing him to take her completely she let her head fall back closing her eyes as Edward continued to impale her, she could feel she was close to her orgasm. Suddenly Alice found the relief she was so desperately seeking. Her body tensed up and she cried out his name, this only flamed Ed’s desire as he kissed her neck passionately leaving his mark for all to see. As his pace quickened even further, his breath became ragged, brushing against her skin like a hot wind.

Trying to suppress a loud scream so that she wouldn’t wake the whole house, Alice buried her face in Ed’s chest. She could feel his heart beating wildly against her cheek; she clasped onto his shoulders her hands slipping slightly from the fine sheen of sweat that now covered both their bodies.

Alice hooked her legs around his back in a desperate attempt to stay joined with him a little longer. To keep him safe and sound in her house, in her life, in her body.

Ed was starting the shake slightly knowing that he was near his own climax. With one final thrust Ed’s body shuddered as he came, he let out a primal groan, his fingers digging into the sheets of the bed tightly, before collapsing next to Alice from exhaustion.

For the next ten minutes the two sat in silence, the only sound was their breathing, which was just now returning to normal. Ed had placed his head on Alice’s chest letting her play with his now damp hair as he stared out the window, watching the darkness of the landscape slowly being melted away by the early morning light.

It wasn’t fair for them. It wasn’t fair to finally do this on this circumstances or in such a hurry. But it was all they could give each other before parting ways again.

“Alice,” Edward spoke feeling almost rude breaking the silence.

“Um,” she replied.

“I should be going now.” Edward said looking up at Alice with sad eyes.

Alice nodded her head, “Yes the sun will be up soon.”

Edward dragged himself up and sat on the edge of the bed, pulling his hair back out of his face. He would have to shave it again in no time. He was about to get dressed when he heard a soft sobbing sound. Turning his head he saw Alice with her back to him, her body shaking slightly under the sheets of the bed.

Edward lay down beside her wrapping his arm around her waist; instinctively she slid her fingers into the wide grooves of his hand.

“You regret it don’t you?” Edward said resting his forehead on the back of her neck, dreading her response.

Alice’s grasp on his hand tightened as if she never wanted to let go, “No I don’t regret anything. It’s just that, I’ve lost you so many times before, I don’t know if I can do it again.”

A shiver ran through her body when she felt Ed’s mouth move over her left shoulder eventually kissing a trail to her nape.

“Date me when I´m back,” he breathed into her ear.

Alice rolled over, her sharp blue eyes meeting his. “What?”

“I´m being very serious. I would ask you to marry me, but I think I have to work my way to it first. So, date me when I´m back so I can ask you to marry me then” Ed kissed her lightly so she could not argue.

“I would marry you right in this bed idiot, with or without the dates, the so late sex or your honor asking for my hand.” Said Alice.

Edward bent down and kissed her again this time letting his lips linger longer on hers, “I love you I always have.” He said looking down at her with loving eyes. Alice could feel tears running down her cheeks as she listened to Ed’s words.

His face turned serious suddenly, “Oh no, I’ve said something wrong haven’t I.”

She laughed lightly, “No Edward. You said all the right things,” Alice hugged him tightly; “I love you too. Please don´t die on me”

Edward felt a rush of emotions go trough him: love for her, regret of not doing this before, hope of returning, dread of the battlefield, hungry for giving her better. Many orgasms afterwards the pair left the house hand in hand with only the rising of the sun and a strong spring breezed to wish them goodbye.

He came back.
