Stephenie Meyer owns all these characters. I'm just visiting with them.

Wow. I can't believe it. I could never have imagined that. Although, Edward has always told me I haven't got much of an imagination. The pleasure, the pain. Mostly the pleasure. I can't stop smiling. Nothing could have prepared me for the emotional and physical roller coaster that the "first time" brings. Edward was so...gentle. I felt a little embarrassed being the lead, but his eyes looked so reassuringly at me the whole time. I thought it would be fast and furious. But I guess with Edward, fast and furious would have been the death of me. No, that would not be good. I would have to say it was perfect. There was no lust in his eyes, only love and concern. He made it wonderful.
"Bella? What are you thinking about?" Edward asked rolling onto his side to face me. I exhale slowly, then turn to face him. "Thank you Edward. That was incredible."
"Are you sure you're okay? You're not hurt or anything?" he asked hesitantly.
"No, I'm perfect."
"Yes, you are. What do you want to do now? Are you hungry?"
I don't answer because I'm not sure what I'm hungrier for. But I decide I should probably refuel. It is still pitch black outside. We do have the whole weekend alone. "Yeah, I guess I'm a little hungry" I say as I jump off the bed. I freeze when I hear Edward laughing behind me. "Did you forget something?" he asked holding out my blue silk nightgown. I turn to face him and hold out my hand to get it from him. He smiles sneakily and pulls the nightgown closer to him. I roll my eyes and take a step closer to retrieve it. He lifts up his hand, palm up, and invites me closer with his finger. I can feel my face turning pink. He then leans forward to meet me and starts kissing me. "Okay, maybe food can wait a little longer" I concede.
Another perfect experience. This time he did a little more work, and I could feel the burning hunger in his lips, tongue, and hands. I could get used to this. Although, I wonder how this is going to work when I'm changed? I guess we wouldn't have to be so careful. That will be interesting. My stomach is starting to growl.
"Ready to eat, Bella?" Obviously Edward heard that too.
"Yes, the human needs to feed" I reply sighing. I can hardly wait until I don't have to think about eating food on a regular basis. Although, the alternative is a little...scary. Oh well, if Edward can do it, so can I. I just realized that I can go hunting with Edward once I'm changed. There will be no reason for us to ever be apart. I smiled at that thought.
"Bella, why are you grinning like that?" Edward was already dressed standing next to me by the bed. "I was just thinking about never having to be apart from you, ever again, once I'm changed."
"Bella, you don't ever have to be apart from me now. You're mine now, Mrs. Edward Cullen."
I was surprised that I didn't shudder at that, like I have on many other occasions. I was feeling comfortable being "married". "Yes I am. I am all yours." I said as I pecked him on the cheek and ducked into the bathroom to throw on some more comfortable clothes.
I walked down the stairs in a dream-like trance. Edward walked beside me, at my speed. He didn't show any frustration at my turtle-like pace. He just had a little smile on his face, like he was happy to be with me. I feel so lucky right now. At the bottom of the stairs he reached over and took my hand in his. I will never get over the feeling of all his considerations. His every action seems to be for my pleasure and comfort. It's like his whole purpose is to make me happy. I don't know what I did to deserve that. I am going to do everything in my power to make him just as happy. Maybe more.
