"Edward….Edward…" My head felt like it was spinning. I had yet to open my eyes and felt like I might be sick. What's wrong with me?

"I'm here, Bella. I'm here." I felt a warm hand graze my cheek and recognized the scent immediately: Edward.

I felt groggy and tired. Something isn't right. I shouldn't be so tired, should I? Why did I feel like I just got hit by a Freight Train? They told me that I wouldn't feel this way. Shouldn't' I feel invincible?

"Wha…Edward, I….why…" I couldn't get the words out. Am I dying? Maybe Edward wasn't ready for this? Did he even bite me?

"Open your eyes, Bella…Please?" The sound in his voice was remorse. He must not have done it. I probably passed out when I thought he was about to bite me and he couldn't stand to bite me.

Slowly, I opened my eyes.

Wow.

Instantly, I recognized the man in front of me: Edward. However, my memory of his beauty hardly did him justice. The man before me was far more perfect than what I remember. His perfect skin and tousled hair were just as I remembered, but something was different. I couldn't quite place it.

"Did you…Am I?…" The worried look on his face confused me even more. If I was a vampire, I wasn't able to read him any better than I could before.

"Bella…" He leaned over my body, resting his full weight to the side of me. "Bella, touch me."

His eye contact with me never broke as I reached my hand towards his face and pressed my fingertips to his lips. The instant that they met his eyes closed and he smiled.

"Oh…" My lips stretched into a pure and happy smile. He had changed me. I was his equal. When I touched his lips, I didn't feel cold, hard marble lips. No, they felt soft and warm. His lips were the same temperature as my hand.

Suddenly, I felt empowered. The amount of joy that I was feeling was fueling adrenaline in my body and I wanted shout my happiness to the entire world! I tried to reign in my feeling. I'm sure he was worried about me.

"How do you feel?" He rubbed his warm thumb over my lips.

"Edward?"

"Yes, love?" He tilted his head to the side, trying to read me. I guess it didn't matter that I was immortal. He still couldn't read my mind. Thank God.

"Forgive me." I kissed his thumb then threw my body into his hurling us across the room and smashing our bodies into the East wall. It was invigorating! He didn't seem to weigh anything! "Whoa." That was the only way I could express myself. Edward's smile seemed to reach his ears.

I heard laughter behind me and a couple cat calls. I turned my body to face the rest of my family; they were all there.

"Hi." They all seemed much more vivid than I had remembered. I was looking at each of them in a new way. I recognized the details in their appearances that didn't even register to me, before. It took seconds for me to memorize every facet of their bodies. In that second, I felt a soft fabric cover my shoulders. Oh, my God!

"I'm sorry that I didn't dress you." Edward leaned in from behind me and whispered in my ear. OH, how humiliating! I lifted my hands to my cheeks, awaiting my embarrassing blush, but it never came. Edward had put one of his woven shirts around me and I slipped my arms in the sleeves as he buttoned the front of it.

"Don't be embarrassed, Bella. You look amazing!" Alice was hesitating stepping towards me. I noticed how her feel shuffled in the tiniest movements towards me.

"You really do, love." Edward kissed my forehead and wrapped his arms around me tighter.

"Do you feel okay, Bella?" Carlisle had his arm around Esme who couldn't have a bigger smile on her face. "Is your throat scratchy or burning?"

"I, ugh…I guess?" I wasn't sure how I was supposed to feel, but I wasn't thinking about blood. I was trying to get a grasp on my new senses.

"Don't rush things, Bella. You have all the time in the world to figure things out for yourself." Carlisle's smile reflected that of everyone else's.

"Do you want to try hunting or do you want to stay here a bit longer?" I felt Edward's breath sweep across my face and I got dizzy. I thought that wasn't supposed to happen anymore?

I turned around to face him and I noticed the huge Edward-shaped hole that I put in the wall!

"Oh, Esme, I'm so sorry!!" I practically pushed Edward into the next wall trying to get him out of the way. Again, I gasped at my strength. "Oh, Edward…" I tried to help him catch his balance.

"I'm okay." He laughed at me and the reversal of our roles. The entire family was laughing at my expense. "Relax, Bella, you're just getting used to your new body."

That's when I noticed such a slight, quick and small movement in Edward that, if I were human, I wouldn't have noticed. When he mentioned my new body, his eyes looked over my form and he licked his lips. Mmm…I want him…NOW!

I locked eyes with him and took a step towards him before taking that same step back. The rest of the family was watching my every move. We both looked towards them and all of their faces turned in different directions. They looked as if they were pondering the meaning of life.

"Is there anything else you needed?" Edward's words were in the direction of the rest of the family.

"No. We'll be going, now." Esme walked towards and kissed my cheek. "Bella, you look lovely. And, don't worry about the wall. You'll get a grasp on your strength in due time." She walked back towards Carlisle.

Oh!

My mind raced back to the foggy memory of my change. I had momentarily forgotten that Carlisle had been in the room while Edward and I were making love. I audibly groaned and slapped my forehead, barely feeling it.

"Bella?" Edward sounded concerned.

"I'm fine." My eyes locked with Carlisle's and he laughed at the realization.

"Don't worry, Bella," Carlisle walked closer to us and whispered in my ear. "I was strictly professional and will try to erase it from memory." He grabbed my hand and ran his thumb softly over it before turning and leaving the room.

"Look at that; the girl has a figure." Rosalie winked and hugged me.

Emmett was practically dancing towards us, and I was kind of hurt when he walked around me to Edward. "Damn, brother!" He slapped him on the back, smiled at me and walked out with Rose.

Edward sighed behind me and rubbed my shoulders.

"You know what a new body means?" Alice scurried up to me.

"Let me adjust, Alice." I couldn't help but to laugh. It felt as if nothing had changed. Nobody was treating me any differently and a sense of comfort washed over me. That's when I noticed Jasper. Jasper. This must be infinitely easier for him.

"May I, Bella?" He gestured in front of him as if asking permission to approach me.

"Please." I felt like we had just made a break-through in our 12 Step Program. This was our big moment.

Jasper walked steadily over to me, without hesitation, and bowed in front of me.

"It's nice to be in closer proximity to you, Miss." He kissed my hand and flinched when I wrapped my arms around him and pulled him into a hug.

"It's nice to have you in close proximity, Sir." I released Jasper and everyone was grinning. Alice rubbed Jasper's back before lightly pushing him towards the door.

"We'll all be leaving, now. If you guys decide to go hunting, we'll be close. Just call us if you need help. We're all going to be hunting. Edward, don't be afraid to…tackle her…if you need to." Alice winced at her words towards Bella.

"I'll never let her falter." He kissed my shoulders.

Honestly, I didn't want to think about hunting. The idea of killing a human didn't appeal to me. I couldn't help but wonder if I were different. I wasn't sure what the thirst would feel like, but I was pretty sure that I didn't have it.

Faintly, I heard the door click and a pair of hands tighten on my hips.

"Am I too different?" I had mistaken his grip for one of distaste.

"What?" He stepped around me and pushed my back into my dent in the wall.

"I mean…do I still look like me? Do I still smell like me? Oh, God, my eyes!" I clapped my hands over my eyes and shielded them from his gaze. I'd forgotten that they would be red; the last thing I wanted.

"Bella…" He tried to take my hands away from my face, but I felt them steady. "Bella, come on. Yes, your eyes are red, but you look so unbelievably beautiful that I barely noticed the color. Your eyes look the same just slightly changed in hue."

Edward tried to pull my hands away, once more. "Bella, your eyes won't be red forever. Even if they were, I'd stare into them every day of my existence because I love you. I love everything about you. Please…I haven't seen you looking back at me in three days…look at me."

There was a tortured sound in his voice that I couldn't avoid. The pull for me to do anything and everything for Edward was stronger than ever. I would give him the world if I could. For now, I will have to do. Uncovering my eyes, I looked into his with uncertainty.

"There's my beautiful wife." His warm smile lifted my heart. He's here. He's here with me just like I asked him to be. He'll always be here with me. Always.

"Thank you for giving me this," I lifted my hand to cup his warm cheek. "Thank you for giving me…you…forever."

"You have always had me forever, Mrs. Cullen." He moved his head to the right and kissed the palm of my hand. His eyes closed as he took a deep breath and licked his lips.

"Edward?" I pressed my body into him.

"Hmm?" He still hadn't opened his eyes.

"Kiss me." I felt his breath exhale across my face. He still seemed to be able to dazzle me. I'm glad that hadn't gone away.

Tentatively, his lips brushed mine but didn't make complete contact.

"Still warm…" He seemed to be mumbling to himself.

His tongue swept out and quickly tasted my lips.

"Still sweet…" He wrapped his arms around me, completely enveloping my body and opened his eyes.

"Still beautiful." He had me mesmerized. I couldn't move and it took me a moment to realize that I hadn't taken a breath. The thought had made me laugh; I couldn't help it.

"And what, may I ask, is so funny?" He smiled as he brushed his lips over mine, again.

"Nothing," I laughed, again. "It's just…this is the moment that you would usually say, 'Breathe, Bella.'.

His lips crashed down on mine in an intense, lingering kiss.

"Bella…you don't have to come up for air, anymore." He talked into my mouth before pushing his lips roughly against his.

"Mmm."

Our lips moved together in a perfectly coordinated dance. His right hand moved up to the back of my neck, securing his hold on me. He was right, I didn't need to come up for breath. It felt different. I felt the urge to step back and gasp for air, but it didn't feel like my life depended on it. I would have much rather stayed lip-locked with Edward.

Shockingly, he pulled back from the kiss, slightly, and put an open mouthed his back on my lips. He repeated his action several times before I responded to his gesture. My body was anxious when I opened my mouth to his and felt our tongues meet just inside our mouths.

"Mmmmm…" He tasted like vanilla and strawberries. His taste was an aphrodisiac of it's own. I could stay here for days.

Our kisses deepened and I felt Edward's chest rumble from his desirable moans.

"Edward…?" I leaned my head back and let him travel down my jaw line. "Can you hear my thoughts?"

"No." He didn't sound dissatisfied. In fact, I couldn't place his emotion at all. He seemed to be lost in his actions.

"What are you thinking?" I clawed at his back when he swiped his tongue over his bite mark.

"I'm thinking…," He grazed his nose across my collarbone. "I'm thinking that I never imagined I'd be this happy that you're a vampire. I'm thinking that your beauty is astonishing. I'm think that you're strong for not letting your thirst take over your body, immediately. But, you'll have to forgive me, Bella. Mostly, I can't stop thinking about how naked you are under this shirt." He bit my collarbone and it scent a chill down my spine that went straight to my center.

"Oh, my God! Do that again!" I tangled my hands in his hair and kept him close to my chest.

He ran his hands up my thighs and hips, pulling the shirt up with it, exposing my bare flesh from the waist down. His teeth grazed my collarbone, again, before he bit down in the same spot he hand before.

"Ugghhh!!" I banged my head on the wall behind me.

Edward's head shot up, his eyes full of concern.

"You okay?"

"MmmHmm…" I leaned my head back down to meet his gaze with my heavily lidded eyes.

"So, you like that?" He smirked at me. I could have sworn that I saw a twinkle in his eye.

"Yes!" I had to have him. I have to have him, NOW! I grabbed the front of his shirt that he had put on me and ripped the buttons off, sliding the shirt down my arms.

"Oh, Bella…" His eyes were drinking in my body. "Words cannot describe…"

I didn't have to words to respond to him. My hands jutted out and yanked the button of his jeans completely off his body and forced the zipper down in a quick movement.

"Whoa…careful, Love. That could be very painful if you're not accurate." He leaned in and captured my lips, once more.

I ignored his comment, yanked his pants to the ground and pushed him away from me. The look on his face was pure lust.

"Do you want me, Edward?" Both of breathing was erratic as we gazed into each other's eyes.

"More than you know." He took a step towards me, but I held a hand up to stop me.

"How do you want me?" He tilted his head to the side in question. "Do you want to make love the wife whom you haven't had the pleasure of being with in three days…or…" I stepped towards him, slowly. "Or, do you want to take your unbreakable wife…and (I pushed him back on the bed)…see how rough she can take it?" I didn't ask his gaze…I asked his lips. They were eye level with me and I badly wanted them all over my body.

"Ugh, I love you, Bella." He was reminding me before he hurtled my body into the Edward-Shaped hole in the wall. "But, all I want from you, right now, is that hot little body of yours! Forgive me?" He seemed to be having a mental conflict with himself.

"I forgive you! Please, take what's yours!"

Edward's lips were all over my body. He took his time trailing his fingers over every bare inch. He started on my scar, lightly trailed his hands down my sides, my legs, and back up the center of my body.

"Edward, if that's rough I'm going to be very disappointed with this new body." I smiled, wickedly, at him to show my sarcasm.

His lips twitched into a smile and he forcefully grabbed my full breasts in his hands and squeezed my nipples.

"Ugh…that's more like it." I covered my hands with his to squeeze harder.

"I think a new attitude came along with this new body, Bella." He licked the line between my breasts and up my sternum.

"I feel powerful. I can't explain it. Are you complaining?…Ugh!!" He circled my right nipple with his tongue before biting it and pulling it between his teeth.

"Not complaining." He said between clenched teeth. "Sexy…Very sexy."

Edward repeated his torture on both breasts while my lower body practically grinded against air. I was desperate for friction. All I wanted to do was test the limits of my new body.

"Mmm…" Edward stood up and wrapped my legs around his waist. "Come here, you vixen." He carried me into the bathroom and slammed the door shut behind us.

"Do I need a shower or something? Do I smell?" My entire body seized up with self-consciousness.

"No…no, Bella. You smell tantalizing! I just want you to see what I see." He put both of my feet on the floor and turned be around to look in the floor length mirror that was hanging on the back of the door.

I couldn't believe my eyes. There must be something wrong with me. I mean, I knew that my body would be stronger and nearly indestructible, but I had no idea that it would alter as much as it did. The only thing I could do was stare. I was only vaguely aware of Edward's erection pressing into my back.

Tentatively, I brought my hands to my, now, full breasts. They were at least a cup size bigger than they were before. My entire body was curvier all together. My arms were toned and didn't look like spaghetti noodles, anymore, and my calves actually had shape to them. I looked…like a woman. I looked…different. I was too afraid to look into my eyes, but I noticed that my lips were fuller and a more pale color than they had been. I'm sure that was due to the lack of blood flowing in my veins. My hair even seemed to be a bit darker than it was before and had a natural curl to it. Wow.

"What do you think? Is it a keeper?" I heard the smile in his voice before I saw it on his lips.

"I don't…I don't look like myself. I look like somebody else, entirely." I moved my hands down my toned stomach and rested them on my slim hips.

"Oh, Bella…," Edward rested his chin on my shoulder. "You do look like yourself. I knew that your appearance would alter, slightly, but it wasn't drastic. You look beautiful, my love. Besides, I hate to tell you this, we can't return this body for a different one."

I couldn't respond. It wasn't that I didn't like my body; no. The problem was Edward's reaction. I knew he probably didn't see me any different than I was before, but I felt like he was worshipping this body more than he worshipped my human body. Why was that a problem? It just made me feel…I couldn't explain it. It was a difficult emotion.

"I'll just have to get used to it, I guess." I bit my lip and looked at Edward in mirror.

"I'm glad that habit stuck with you." He turned my face to his and pulled my bottom lip into his awaiting mouth.

His hands rested over my hands on my hips and started sliding both of our palms up my body to cup my breasts.

"These…are just as beautiful as they were before." He kissed my neck.

"This…," He placed our hands on my stomach. "Is just as tempting enticing at it was before." He kissed my shoulder and trailed our hands down to my entrance.

"And, this," He slid both of our middle fingers in between my folds making the both of us moan. "smells just as enticing as it did before." He slowly moved our fingers up and down making my knees want to buckle. "Do you mind if I have a taste, Bella?" His tongue slid up my shoulder and he sucked on my earlobe.

"Please…please, Edward." He lifted me up on the countertop so that my left side was facing the mirror. He slid his hands down to my breasts as he lowered his body between my thighs and took a deep breath.

"I'm so lucky to have you." He planted kisses on my hips and trailed his tongue where my thighs meet my pelvis.

"Closer…Closer…Mmm…" Instinctively, my hands tangled in his hair, roughly, and brought his head to where I need him.

"Grab me harder, Bella." He practically growled out the words. I tightened my hold in his hair and he lowered himself to my center.

His tongue darted out and lightly pressed on my clit causing me to nearly jump off the counter.

"Delicious, Bella. Let me savor this." His hands held my hips to the counter with force. Just the fact that he didn't have to hold back was turning me on beyond words.

Edward's tongue started at my entrance and licked up to my clit at least fifteen times in an agonizingly slow pace. He considered this savoring, but I considered it torture. Each swipe of his tongue caused all of the muscles in my body to clench and my eyes to roll in the back of my head. He smirk on his face was proof that he knew how he was tormenting me.

"Come on, Edward. I thought you wanted it rough!" I was able to break his hold with my newborn strength and grind against his face. He shot a warning look up at me and slammed my hips back onto the counter. If I were human, it would have broken my tailbone.

"Stay." It was a command. Holy Hell! "I'm not finished, yet." He pulled my clit between his lips and sucked on it as his tongue caressed from inside his mouth.

"OoohhhGodddd!!!" My head fell back and shattered the mirror on the wall. I unwound one of my hands from Edward's hair and gripped my own. "Don't stop!!! That's what I want!! Don't stop!!"

I'm glad the family had gone out hunting. Thought, at this point, I'm not sure that I would care if they were right outside the bathroom door.

To add to my pleasure, Edward circled my entrance with one of his fingers and roughly pushed it inside me. He didn't wait for my reaction before he started plunging them in and out.

"Yes!! Ugh!!! Harder, baby….Ahhh!!" My hips were struggling against his hold as I tried desperately to free my body.

His moaning and growling was sending vibrations over my clit and making my body ache with need. He removed his mouth and replaced it with the thumb from his free hand.

"What do you need, Bella?" His eyes were cloudy and hooded. He looked like a mythical God looking up from between my legs…like he was born to bring me pleasure. What stared as a dull need between my legs had blown up into savage craving! So close!

"Fuck me! Please, Edward, please!!??" I felt like I needed to cry. My throat was tight and I my head felt heavy. If he didn't enter me, I would lose any sanity I had left.

"Thank God." He pulled his finger out of me and stood between my legs.

"Beautiful, girl." He attached his lips to mine as I grasped his rigid member in my right hand and began pumping it. "Ugh!! Tighter, Bella!"

Edward's forehead rested against mine as I tightened my grasp on his and pumped faster. I could see the muscles in his jaw clenching unclenching in the exact synchronized rhythm as the contracting muscles in his stomach. He was beautiful.

"I can't…I have to…" He tore my hands off of him and entered me in one swift movement.

"AHH!!!" He head fell back, again, as he stretched me.

"Are you….?" He couldn't get the rest of his question to form words on his tongue.

"I'm fine. God, I'm great! I've missed this. I've missed you, Edward." I wrapped my arms around his neck and brought myself closer to the edge of the counter.

"I've missed you, too, Bella." He pulled himself out of me just a fraction of an inch before pushing back in. The rumble in his chest was vibrating against my breasts, causing an intense surge of pleasure.

"Now, tomorrow, I want you to take your time showing me why I should love every inch of my new body. But,…right now…," I bit his earlobe making his jerk. "I want you to fuck me."

My request was instantly granted. Edward pulled all the way out and slammed back into me. He set a hard and fast rhythm while pulling my hips into his. I could feel the countertop starting to crack against the wall and the drywall was chipping away.

"So *thrust* Sexy! *thrust* Mine! *thrust* Fuck!" He bit into my shoulder and my entire body went numb with pleasure.

"Yes! I love that! More! I'm so…" Edward took one hand off of my hip and rested it on the wall behind my head. My hips were meeting his with every thrust with out his help.

"You…Okay?…Uuuggghhh!" His eyes clamped shut, momentarily, but focused back on my gaze for my answer.

"Yes!! Closer!…Edward!! Ugh!!!" I felt the cabinet crack below and before we could fall to the floor, Edward had me against the wall.

Harder…harder…harder…

**And…so it begins! R&R and leave suggestions for the upcoming chapters! I hope you all are as excited about this as I am!**
