Forbidden Heat

What I Forgot to Say

“Edward!” I called his name suddenly and blushed as I realized that my voice came out much louder

than I anticipated. Perhaps it was my own anxiousness or the overwhelming silence that made my

voice sound so loud.

“What is it?” Edward asked as he faced me.

“Umm…” I hesitated. How do I say this without it coming out as weird? It’s been a long while since I

should have said it. Will he feel bad that I had forgotten?

“…Natalia?” Edward called my name questioningly seeing that I didn’t continue.

I got up and pulled Edward to his feet. I didn’t know why I did this exactly, but I felt like what I was going

to say had to be made official and standing up face-to-face made it seemed more official?

“I…I’m sorry I didn’t say this before...” I started in a weak voice. Why is my voice shaking so much?

Edward looked at me silently as he waited for me to continue. I can do this. I need to do this properly.

“Edward! Thank you for saving me!” I said firmly as I stared straight into his eyes. His eyes sparkled in

the warm light of the fountain; his eyes are so captivating.

“…What?” Edward paused before asking in a soft whisper. He seemed a little confused as he cocked

his head slightly to the side. I guess he wasn’t expecting a thank you from me after over ten years and

many hours after he’d told me the truth.

“Thank you…for saving me in the forest that day. I meant to say this earlier but…I guess with

everything that was going on, I sort of just…forgot. I’m sorry, really!” I explained rapidly as I panicked

and couldn’t stop blabbing. I don’t think I’m saying any of this right at all.

After a small pause, Edward burst out laughing. Now it was my turn to be confused. What did I say that

was so funny that could make him laugh so hard? Edward was bent over as he continued to laugh. I

just watched him as he laughed like a jolly little boy. Edward is amazing, really. Even after all the things

he’s been through, he’s still able to move forward, carve a place in the world for himself, and laugh so

carefree and happily like this. Watching him, I started to feel my lips form into a small smile.

“What’s so funny?” I asked teasingly.

“Sorry…it’s just…after ten years, I didn’t expect that. Don’t worry, Natalia. I didn’t save you because I

wanted any thanks,” Edward said as his laughter calmed down. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Suddenly, I was in Edward’s warm arms. He pulled me into a loving hug as we stood underneath the

moonlight and the stars. I felt like today, I learnt a lot more about Edward and who he really was. I

nuzzled closer against his chest and wrapped my arms tighter around him. Even if it’s just for now, I

wanted to feel safe and comforted in his arms. Edward kissed my temple softly.

“It’s getting windier, we should head inside,” Edward whispered as he led me inside with his arms still

wrapped around me.

Once inside, he took me by the hand and led me back to the guest bedroom. Since Edward was the

one leading me, we got back to the room in no time. Standing in front of the door to the guestroom, I

hesitated a little. I don’t think I’ll be able to fall asleep after all.

Edward sighed and pulled me along further down the hallway with him. As if he could sense my

hesitation, Edward brought me with him all the way to his bedroom. He opened the door swiftly and

ushered me in before closing and locking the door behind us. To my absolute surprise, the room’s lights

were already on and there were two laptops and three extra screens turned on.

“You were working until just now?” I asked incredulously. When does Edward ever sleep?

“You can’t go to sleep, right? You can sleep here with me,” Edward replied as he ignored my question.

After many conversations with Edward, I began to realize that Edward would answer a question that he

didn’t want to answer with another question of his own.

“Were you working the whole time after you sent me to bed? Were you planning to continue working if

you didn’t bring me back here with you?” I asked as I gestured to the laptops and screens.

“Some work doesn’t get done by themselves and some works require you to work in different time

zones,” Edward muttered as he switched off the laptops and screens.

I watched as he packed his work and machines away while I sat on the bed. I was sure that if I went

back to the guestroom just now, he would have come back here to continue working until morning. He’s

a genius but there’s so much that a human body can take, right? Edward needs to sleep…now.

“Edward, come here and sleep with me,” I said sweetly as I patted the spot on the bed next to me.

“I hope you never say something like that to someone else…” Edward muttered as he got into bed with

me after killing the lights.

“You should sleep more…” I whispered as he cuddled my body against his.

“If you be quiet, I can finally go to sleep…” Edward whispered back.

That night I slept deeply without any disturbing dreams.

…

“hmm…mhhhh…” I heard myself making strange moaning noises. Why does my body feel like it’s on

fire? Am I sick?

“Are you finally awake, Princess?” Edward asked teasingly.

Oh, right. Last night I slept here with Edward. I started to recall the events of last night and figured that I

must be in his bedroom right now.

At about the same time that I figured out where I was and why I was here, I felt a sharp penetrating

sensation in between my legs. Edward...?

“You’re already so wet and slippery here, it’s amazing how fast your body responds to my touch,”

Edward sounded pleased.

I felt the presence of his thick fingers deep inside of my pussy and as he moved them, I realized in

shock that I was practically flooded down there. When did I get so turned on? How did I get so wet?

“Are we really going to do it first thing in the morning?” I asked as I whimpered and moaned slightly. His

fingers are skillfully caressing my insides. It feels so satisfying and my legs are already trembling with

pleasure.

“It is the first thing, but I wouldn’t say that it’s in the morning. It is well past noon already, Princess,”

Edward replied with a chuckle as he leaned in to kiss me firmly on the lips.
