Chapter eleven
The Dinner Party
Juno's POV:
"Don't stop, Eddie. Please don't stop." I leaned my head on his shoulder. I laid in between his legs as he rubbed at my clit. Edward kissed my cheek and my neck. "Does it feel good? I want you to feel good." Eddie said into my ear. I moaned softly and said "it feels so good, Eddie. So good." I then woke up in the dead of night. I gasped softly and looked around, the moonlight shining into the window. "Edward?" I called out. I slowly got out of bed and Edward's apartment was dark. I had been staying with him for about a week now. I looked around the living room, not seeing him. "Edward?" "Ow, Jesus Christ!" I heard his pained voice coming from behind me. "Ow." I walked towards the bathroom and said "Eddie, what..." "I tripped. I'm ok." He was sitting on the floor right next to the door. I noticed the bathroom rug had a lump in it. I guess he tripped over the rug, knocking himself into the door. Edward winced and I said "Eddie, where are your glasses?" "In the bedroom. I didn't mean to wake you." I cupped his cheek and he looked up at me. "It's ok. I was dreaming and woke myself up anyway." "Oh. Ok. Well, we can go back to bed, right?" I nodded and Edward stood up. He towered over me now. I took his hand and led him back to the bedroom. Edward reached for his glasses and put them on his face. The moonlight gave enough light so we didn't have to turn on the lamp. The rain pounded against the window. It was practically flooding outside. Edward cupped my cheek and kissed my lips. I ran my fingers through his hair and then wrapped my arms around his neck, pulling me closer to him. Edward kissed me feverishly, almost suffocating me. I pulled away for air and Edward kissed me again. "Eddie, Eddie, I need to breathe." I put my hand on his chest and Edward gasped for air. "I just wanna kiss you. I don't care if I pass out." He said. I shook my head at him and said "oh, Eddie." I kissed his lips passionately and hated the awkward position we were in. I was sitting next to him while he was leaning against the headboard, his legs straight out in front of him. I pulled away and slowly straddled him. Edward's eyes were wide as he watched me sit on his lap. He gulped and I cupped his cheek, pressing my lips to his. Our lips moved in sync and I gripped handfuls of Edward's t-shirt. I felt his hands go to my hips as our kisses got deeper. I moved to Edward's neck, placing sweet kisses up and down it. Edward exhaled deeply, shaky breaths leaving his lips. I grabbed onto his shoulders for support as I started to suck a small hickey onto his neck. "Mmm, J-Juno." He moaned softly. I smirked against his neck and went to the other side. Edward jumped as I kissed the left side of his neck. "Here?" I quipped as I kissed the same spot. He jumped again and inhaled sharply. "Are you all hot and bothered, Eddie?" I teased. Edward nodded as his eyes fluttered closed. He squeezed my hips as I sucked a hickey onto his sweet spot. "Oh, ah, mmm." Edward's moans were like music to my ears. I could never make Harry vocal. He never let me know how he was feeling. I pulled away to examine the hickeys on his neck. They were already turning purple. Edward looked up at me, his lips parting. I leaned down to kiss his lips again. Edward kissed back feverishly. I then felt his hips buck up against mine. At first I ignored it, wanting to kiss him and be close to him. But then Edward had started a rhythm. His hips moved against mine slowly. It honestly felt amazing. I wanted to take it further. The dream I had awoken from had definitely put me in the mood. But, I wasn't ready. I pulled away from Edward and could feel his boner poking my thigh. I climbed off his lap and put my head in my hands. "Juno, I'm sorry. I didn't mean...I'm so sorry. I g-got carried away." I looked at him and said "no, it's not your fault. It's mine. I shouldn't of initiated that. I want to go further, Edward. I'm just not ready." Edward sat up and said "that's ok. I'm a virgin. So, I'm not sure how good it'd be anyway. I'm sure knowing that your boyfriend is thirty years old and is still a virgin is an inconvenience. I'll definitely try to make you feel good! I'd try so hard. That's all I'd want." I half smiled and said "I don't care that you're a virgin. That doesn't bother me at all. I just don't want you mad at me." "Why would I be mad?" Edward said. I bit my lip and then said "cause I'm not ready. Sex with Harry wasn't fun. After a while it was almost like being used. Please don't be mad at me, Eddie. Please." Edward hugged me and said "I could never be mad about that. Ever. I want you to be comfortable. Everyone deserves that. You deserve to do it at your own pace. Whenever you're ready, you let me know." I squeezed him and said "thank you, Eddie." He kissed my cheek and said "of course, angel." My heart fluttered at the new nickname. I pulled away from him and said "I feel bad." "Don't feel bad. If I need to, I can go in the bathroom. But, I'm ok. I'm fine." I started to feel better about the whole situation. I then said "can we cuddle?" Edward nodded and said "in a few minutes. I want it to go down." I looked at his crotch and saw his boner poking out slightly. Even though the moonlight was giving us light, I could barely see his crotch. I could only make out an outline. And I think he was thankful it was dark. A loud thunderclap erupted into the air. "Jeez." I said softly. "I don't think we've had a thunderstorm in a while. I think it's only been rain." Edward said as he looked out of the window. "I've lived in Gotham all my life. And thunder will still scare me occasionally." "I wish I was afraid of thunder when I was younger. I was scared of other things." Edward's face fell and I hugged him. "Edward, I'm so sorry. I hate what the orphanage did to you." "The city did it too. Everyone forgot about us. Bruce Wayne loses his parents and poof. It's like we never existed. Everyone sat and cried about Bruce Wayne. While I..." Edward stopped as he pulled away from me. I heard the sniffles and the soft cries come from him. "I suffered. Greatly. I used to wake up with rats chewing my fingers. It was awful. So fucking awful." Edward weeped and put his head in his hands. I hugged him and tried to calm him down. His body shook as he cried. He gasped for air and wrapped his arms around my waist. "Edward, Edward, it's ok. It's ok. You're safe now. You're with me." Edward buried his face into the crook of my neck. I rubbed his back. The two of us were like this for a few minutes. The thunder crashed outside and I felt my fear slowly diminishing as I held Edward. "It was awful." "I know, Eddie. I know. I'm here." He sat up and looked at me. His green eyes were full of fear. All he wanted was reassurance. "You're safe. I'm here. You'll never have to be in that orphanage again. I'm so sorry for what you had to go through. I'm here, Eddie. I'm right here." Edward nodded quickly and his hands went to my thighs, then my hips. "You're here." He confirmed. "I'm right here, Eddie." A shuddering breath left his lips and he left me to go to the bathroom. I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding. I felt awful for him. I didn't know the trauma he went through but I could tell it was something I couldn't possibly imagine. Edward sniffled as he came back into the room. "I had to clean myself up." He mumbled. I nodded and said "that's ok. That's totally fine." He sat down on his bed, a small creak entering the air. He sighed deeply and then leaned against the headboard. He reached for me and then pulled me into his lap, making me straddle him. He kissed my lips passionately. Our hands roamed each other's bodies as the two of us kissed one another. "Eddie, I don't want to get you riled up." I said in between kisses. Eddie shook his head quickly and said "you won't. You won't. Just kiss me. Please, Juno." I cupped his cheek and deepened the kiss. Edward's hips bucked up into mine and our kisses started to get sloppy. "Mmm. Mmm." Edward moaned softly. I slowly pulled away from him, a string of saliva still connecting our lips. An exhale left his lips and he shifted his body, his crotch rubbing perfectly against mine. I bit my lip and said "Eddie...I'm not..." "I know. Just stay here. C-Can I hold you?" I nodded and leaned my head on his shoulder. Edward's arms went around me and a sigh left his lips. "You're safe, Eddie." I whispered. "So are you." He replied. I held a handful of his t-shirt and kissed his neck sweetly. "The storms in Gotham can't hurt you." I half smiled and said "I know." The two of us stayed like that for I don't know how long. I eventually moved since my legs were cramping up. Soft snores came from Edward as I laid down next to him. I slowly removed his glasses, setting them on the nightstand. That of course woke him up slightly. "Where'd you go?" He asked. "Right here, Eddie. I didn't leave." I touched his shoulder and he immediately went to lay down on my chest. He wrapped his arms around me and I stroked his head, my fingers running through his light brown hair. Edward was quickly falling back asleep. The warmth from his body was intoxicating. His hair was so soft as I continued to play with it. I watched the rain cover the windows. It was if someone had a giant bucket and just kept pouring water onto the apartment building. You could hardly see out the window. I felt myself being lulled to sleep by the sound of the rain and Edward's breathing.
