This is my very first attempt at Fan Fiction. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it. I have read other fanficts on the subject but they always seemed too experienced for me. My version involves a couple of inexperienced lovers and shows exactly how I think Edward and Bellas first night might have been.

Let me say too that I don't own any of the characters.

Enjoy...

BPOV-

"Forever," He agreed, and then pulled us gently into deeper water.

My toes left the sand as he moved us deeper into the swelling waves. He pulled my body close to his with one arm around my back, his elbow at the base of my spine and his hand in my hair. The cool touch of his skin was barely noticeable in the warm water. His other arm wrapped around me just underneath my bottom holding me afloat.

"I wonder, my beautiful Bella, if you could do something for me?" He asked.

"Of course" I answered quickly "Anything."

"I wonder if you could hold very still for me, don't move too much, or rather try not to move too much" he grinned as he said the last part but I could see in his eyes two things. The first was that he meant it. The second was that whatever he was planning was going to take a lot of effort on his part and he very much wanted it to succeed. " I know those silly human hormones take over, but please, do this for me"

"Okay, I will" I answered slowly, still gazing into his dark eyes. He kissed me and I felt his hand slide down my back to my side and then down past my hip to my thigh to my knee. I shuddered at his touch, so gentle. How did he think he could ever hurt me. He slowly raised my leg and wrapped it around his waist then followed with the other.

"Edward?" I asked seductively, because I didn't want him to think I was not enjoying what he was doing. I looked at him with questioning eyes.

"Slowly" he said. " I'm trying to see if I can manage having you so close." I realized then the reason for the deeper water. It would be devastating to find out that I couldn't be this close to Edward. But here in the deeper water even if he needed to push me away I wouldn't be hurt. Leave it to Edward to think of everything. "Bella." I heard my name and it brought me back to reality.

"I never imagined I could be this close to you Bella, never in a century of centuries" As he spoke I realized that he had accomplished this task without swallowing even once and that he was beginning to relax even more. To truly feel us together. I felt him stir under me and gasped. It was the first time I'd felt that part of Edward near me. So close to everything I wanted. But, the moment I gasped, he froze. Like a marble statue in the middle of the ocean.

" Bella, did I hurt you?, Did you change your mind? Are you Okay? Scared? Nervous? Are you." I put my fingers over his mouth.

"I'm." I didn't get to finish.

"Do not say fine" he said quickly.

" I wasn't going to say fine. I was going to say, Ready" I knew it was only loud enough for him to hear as I stared deeply into his eyes.

He threw his head back and a sound came from him that I couldn't grasp, a hiss, a growl, a moan. I wasn't sure. But at that very instant, I was swept up and carried back to the beach at a very inhuman speed.

The next moment that I was aware of, I was placed gently on my feet in the bedroom that I had just come from. Only seconds had passed but here I was standing in the towel that I had hung on the tree next to his clothes. "How?" I said in a hushed questioning tone. Edward wasn't with me but the room seemed to be in a blur. Candles were lighting almost instantly one after the other, the windows and doors were opened, the fire was suddenly brighter, the heat in the room was almost unbearable. I watched the scene unfold before me like magic. It was beautiful, more than I could have imagined.

Then it was still and Edward was in front of me. Of-course he wouldn't be out of breath. I still hadn't even had time to close my mouth and take it all in. Mere seconds had gone by.

"Breathe Bella" he said, and I did.

" I thought the heat in the room would help you to be more comfortable" he went on to say as he touched my shoulder.

"I, what, oh, yeah, but, why did you, why right now and not before or later?" I was speechless and a little confused. We had just been about to begin what I thought was making love,when he scooped me up , brought me in, and left me standing alone in my towel.

It was almost as if he could read my mind when he answered my thoughts.

Pushing his hands through his damp hair he said " I needed a moment Bella, I was very much on the verge of losing control. The feel of your bare skin on mine combined with the water pushing us around. I felt at ease, too at ease I guess, and then I felt. Well, I felt myself brush against you, and you gasped. I thought I'd hurt you somehow and then I asked if you were okay, and you, well, you said you were ready, in this, this voice that was just so, so inconceivably sexy. I almost lost it right there and took you in the ocean."

"I thought you were going to" I responded with a little disappointment in my tone.

"Oh Bella, Love, I would like nothing more than to experience making love to you in the ocean. But I think for OUR first time, I would prefer the more traditional bedroom setting."

"The candles, the fire, the huge bed?" I asked

" All part of my elaborate scheme to seduce my wife" He replied, grinning his crooked grin at me. " and to regain some semblance of control."

He slid his fingers from my shoulders to the towel that he had wrapped me in on the way into the house. Loosened it and let it drop.

His eyes wandered over me. A little bit of the nervousness began to creep back into my mind. He had seen me naked in the water but this was different. I felt exposed in the light without anything, even water, to hide in.

"Beautiful." He said. " Bella your exquisite" "How did I become the luckiest man on earth."

All of my fears melted away again as his words washed over me. Although I thought I was the luckiest one.

I wrapped my arms around his neck slowly. I didn't want a repeat of the standing alone scene. Even if it was only for a few seconds. I looked into his eyes and they gave me the permission I was seeking. I leaned into him and he met me with a kiss so enchanting I'd thought I'd die right there from happiness.

"Breathe Bella" he said again and I felt his lips smile on mine. I did and then kissed him again with more passion. He didn't hold back like he would've done before we were married, before I told him that we belonged together, before I told him I was ready. That thought triggered another memory, of us in our meadow, we had almost made love then. But that time I had put a stop to things. I told Edward I wasn't ready for that yet and I wanted to wait for our wedding night.

"Bella" I heard my name and opened my eyes, smiling at my husband on our wedding night " There you are, don't close them, keep your eyes open, look at me"

I tried to listen but as our kisses became more heated and then as he lay me gently onto the bed and more so as he laid beside me, it was hard not to close my eyes and drift happily on the tide of love.

"I love you" I said in between kisses.

" As I love you, Mrs. Cullen" he answered.
