One I Love

You're the one I love
ahhhh, ahhhh

"Edward? Will you get the light?" I asked as we walked up to the apartment later that night. I had an arm full of binders and books, all for the preparation of the Emerson wedding.

Edward flicked on the lights and took some of the books from me. I sighed in relief. "This wedding is going to be the death of me." I said shaking my head. Edward chuckled softly and kissed my forehead.

"Way to be optimistic love." I smiled and put my things on the dining room table. "Do you want a beer or some wine?" Edward asked moving to the kitchen. I nodded.

"A beer is fine." I called, slipping off my shoes. Edward returned with two beers and handed me one. "Thanks." He nodded and we both sipped in silence. "How much work do you have to do?" I asked softly. He rubbed his neck.

"Quite a lot. I'm still trying to fine tune this project." Edward was working on a project for one of his classes, that even after him explaining it six times with full diagrams and flashcards, I still couldn't understand.

"Are you going to be up late then?" I asked moving in front of him. He nodded.

"Don't feel like you need to stay up or anything. I'll probably be no fun." It was true. When Edward got into his thinking mode, little could pull him out of it. I nodded and snaked my hands up his chest and around his neck. His hands automatically wrapped around my waist and I grinned.

"Do you have to start working right away?" I asked, lacing my fingers through his hair. He smiled a dazzling smiled before bending down and kissing my neck. I sighed and tilted my head back as my eyes closed. A serious benefit of loving a man you've known all your life, he knew EVERYTHING about you. What you liked, what you didn't, what gave you the most happiness, pleasure, what spoiled your mood. He knew it all and worked that knowledge to his advantage.

Edward pressed me into the wall so his whole body was pushing against mine. I could feel all of him against me. Every beautiful, defined muscle; and it was all mine. "Maybe I can start in an hour." Edward whispered against my skin. Goose flesh rose up along my arms as he spoke and we both grinned.

"An hour sounds good."I said looking up at him and wrapping my legs around his waist. He smiled and picked me up easily.

"An hour doesn't sound like enough time." He said smiling. I felt my legs grow weak around him and I was glad he was holding me up. I probably would have fallen otherwise. "The things I want to do to you Isabella." His voice was deep and husky and I felt my panties soak when I heard it. "An hour is hardly enough time." I fought to find my voice and when I did it sounded weak and shaky.

"Then you better get started." He grinned and started toward our bedroom.

"Best advice I've heard all day."

Being with Edward was so natural to me; it was like breathing or thinking. Something that I needed to survive and didn't ever question. We had grown, developed and explored together. We first made love on my sixteenth birthday. It was slow and awkward but the sense of completion, finding where I fit best in the world overruled all other awkwardness.

Now, my body knew what to do without me thinking about it. It was an instinct.

Edward laid me gently on the bed and hovered over me, planting his knees firmly on the bed, one between my legs and the other on the outside of my right thigh. His chest was low, pressing against mine as he covered my neck in kisses. I felt a hot breath escape my lips and with it a low moan. I felt Edward's lips pull into a smile as his long slim fingers went to work on my blouse, freeing me from it's clutches. He peeled it away slowly, kissing down my collar bone and down my chest. I felt my heart thudding hard and I gasped for air as his tongue made a hot, wet path down my skin. I gasped in absolute pleasure. "Bella. You get more beautiful every time I see you." He whispered against my flesh, his cool breath hitting the path of moister his tongue had just made. I bit my lip and a small moan escaped my lips.

"Edward." I gasped. I was throbbing. Every part of my body yearning for him. Edward smirked and played with the button of my pants for a moment before undoing it. He moved intentionally slow, making my throbbing body ache and scream. He chuckled against my flat stomach before kissing it.

"I love you Isabella." With his words I felt my pants slide off. I glanced up at him and was surprised to see he was without a shirt. When had he gotten that off? He smirked at me and my heart fluttered. He was so heart-stoppingly beautiful it seemed almost unfair he ended up with plain old me. He deserved a model or an actress, not some small town baker.

Edward moved back up my body and kissed my lips fully, washing away my thoughts. I flipped us over and straddled his narrow hips. I grinned at him before kissing every inch of his chest. I felt his strong heart beat and kissed the place just above his heart. I kissed down his chest, down his stomach and to the sharp V of his hip bone. I let my tongue follow the shape of his hips and heard his breathing hitch. I smiled. Good, we were almost even.

I took my time, just as he had, with his pants. I could feel him straining against the denim and smiled in anticipation.

Once he was free of his jeans, Edward sat up and pulled me to his chest, kissing me deeply. I wrapped my arms around him straddling his hips again. There was so little between us, just the lace of my panties and the silk of his boxers. That was it.

Edward laid me down on the bed while kissing me. His hand wandered down my stomach toward my panties. Any other day we probably could have kept up this teasing dance, but tonight we both just wanted each other.

Before I knew it, Edward had rid both of us of our last remaining garment. He hovered over me a moment before diving in. The absolute pleasure was blinding and I felt my eyes roll to the back of my head. This had to be what heaven was like. How could there be anything better?

We moved slowly but deliberately, in no rush to be parted.

As Edward set the pace, I felt a familiar coil tighten in the pit of my stomach. It grew with each one of his thrusts and spread throughout my body till I felt I would combust and break. I was way beyond the capacity to form coherent words let alone sentences and it seemed Edward was as well. We rocked together, slowly gaining momentum until I had almost reached my peak.

Edward, sensing how close I was, bent down to kiss me as he thrust, urging me along. His tongue explored my mouth and I thrust myself toward him harder. "Come for me My Bella. Scream my name." he whispered against my mouth. With that I fell, screaming Edward's name. I was barely aware that he followed close behind me, calling my name as well.

We fell in an exhausted heap on the bed, limbs curled together as the waves of pleasure rolled through us. "I love you Edward." I whispered against his chest. He hugged me closer to his chest and kissed my bare shoulder.

"I love you my Bella."

…

I woke to the smell of coffee the next morning. I rolled over in bed to find Edward absent. I frowned and sat up, clutching the blanket to my chest. I glanced at the clock and saw it was 5 a.m. I frowned and stood up, pulling on one of his tee shirts. I walked out to the dining room where Edward was writing furiously, a hot cup of coffee next to him, untouched.

"Baby, have you slept at all?" I asked yawning. Edward looked up at me, startled and smiled feebly. He opened his arms and I crawled on his lap, laying my head against his chest.

"Did you sleep well?" he asked kissing my temple. I shook my head.

"I was fine until I woke up. You weren't there." I said looking up at him. He smiled apologetically.

"I'm sorry Love, I just wanted to get some of this done." He said motioning toward the table. I turned to it and examined the papers there.

"Have any luck?" I asked trying to make sense of any of it. He sighed.

"A bit. There is just one road block and once I get past that, I have the feeling I can master it." He said frustrated. I nodded and stood.

"Come on Edward." I said taking his hands in mine. "You've been working too hard. Come to bed." He sighed and nodded, standing.

"You're right. I should get some sleep." I nodded and led him back to the bedroom. We crawled back into bed and Edward wrapped his strong arms around me. "Good night Love." He whispered in my hair.

"Goodnight Edward." I whispered back.

…

"Sunshine!" I flinched at the loud voice. "Oh Sunshine! Wake up!" I burrowed closer to Edward's chest. "Good morning Sunshine!" The covers were ripped from the bed and I squealed, remembering I wasn't wearing anything but Edward's shirt. I sat up, Edward's arms around my waist. I looked up, trying to catch my breath and looked at the small pixie at my feet. "Jeez Bella, calm down. It's nothing I haven't seen before." She said dramatically. I blushed brilliant red and Edward sighed.

"Alice." He groaned. "Can't you keep your hyperactivity to yourself before noon?" He growled. Alice rolled her eyes and flitted to the closet. "We should have never given her a spare key." Edward muttered. I smiled and Alice sighed.

"Come on Bella. Get up. You have a shopping appointment in one hour." I frowned.

"Shopping? What are you talking about?" I asked rubbing my head.

"Shopping. We have to talk and I'm calling an emergency meeting." She said riffling through my closet. I looked at Edward who shrugged, a small smile tugging at the corner of his lips. I glared at him.

"What are the boys doing?" Alice stopped and turned to me, grinning.

"The boys are going to my place and moving all the furniture in." I grinned, turning to Edward. He moaned and fell back against the bed.

"Ha-ha." I sang. Edward glared at me and smirked.

"You have to shop." My smile fell. "With Alice." I glared at him.

"Fine, we're even." I said frowning. He nodded and Alice cleared her throat. We turned to look at her to see her small hands resting on her hips, impatiently. She was glaring at us.

"If you are finished making fun of me and my husband, you two have to get ready." She said arching an eyebrow. Edward turned to look at me and grinned. "And you can't shower together because that will take even longer." Edward sighed and flopped back on the bed.

"Go ahead Love." He said closing his eyes. I nodded slowly and slipped off the bed, taking the clothes Alice was holding on my way. She smiled and winked.

"I'm going to make you some breakfast." I nodded and moved to the bathroom.

The hot water was amazingly soothing on my tired muscles and I felt myself taking a longer shower than was probably necessary.

When I got out, the smell of fresh coffee and egg sandwiches. I wandered into the kitchen, toweling my hair off.

Edward and Alice were sitting at the bar, both sipping coffee. There were three plates with egg sandwiches set out, the bag from the restaurant they had been bought from, stuffed hastily under the sink. I smiled. "Yum, nothing like Alice's 'home cooking'." I said grinning. Alice smiled.

"Of course. Eat up Bells. We have a full day ahead of us." I groaned internally to myself, and leaned my head against Edward's shoulder. He rubbed my back gently.

"You'll be alright Love." I nodded and Alice hopped up.

"Alright, Edward go get ready, Bella, let's go. I'm going to get your hair and makeup done." I frowned in distaste but followed Alice my bedroom. Alice sat me at the mirror and grinned. "Alright, let's get to work."

She worked swiftly and with purpose, only pausing every once in a while to stand back and look over what she had done. Her brows furrowed in concentration and her nose scrunched up as she worked. She reminded me of some great artist, working on their most challenging piece yet. Fortunately for me, this Bella Barbie session only lasted about a half hour so by the time I was finished, Edward was out of the shower and dressed.

"Great, you both are presentable and awake, let's go." She said grinning. Edward held my hand all the way to the cars where Alice's flashy little Yellow Porsche sat next to Edward's sleek silver Volvo. Alice danced to the driver's seat of her car and smiled at me before slipping in. I turned to Edward and sighed.

"Have a good time today." He said brushing the hair from my eyes. I nodded.

"You too. I love you Edward." He smiled and kissed me sweetly.

"I love you too Lamb. Always."

So I hope you enjoyed. I will be driving next Friday but I'll update when I can. Until next time, ta. Oh. PS. Profile.
