Good times for a change
See, the luck I've had
Can make a good man turn bad

So please, please, please
Let me, let me, let me
Let me get what I want this time

Haven't had a dream in a long time
See, the life I've had
Can make a good man bad

So for once in my life
Let me get what I want
Lord knows, it would be the first time
Lord knows, it would be the first time

Whew! This one was much harder to write that the first chapter. Mainly because aside from gathering direct quotations from the book, the rest was free-style. This chapter was harder as I had to keep continuity with Edward's thoughts, dialog and actions. I want to thank all for faves and follows! If anyone is interested, please see A/N at bottom of story as I was unable to retort to a guest response. I normally would not use this story to air a possible dispute on the Fanfiction community, but, hey, she wants me to–and I quote–'Prove her wrong."

Honeymoon Scene

Chapter 2

Edward POV

"Aren't you supposed to wait for the threshold?" Bella states, as I scoop her up in one arm and the two steamer trunks in the other.

"I'm nothing, if not thorough." I grinned. Embracing her securely, I walk up the sandy path and through the dark vegetation. Soft illumination ahead signals the home that Carlisle had built and presented to Esme. I think fondly of my mother and father. Carlisle and Esme together have made a home for all of us and within our home has kept us together through mutual love and respect.

We reach the house, glass-fronted and bathed in light. I nudge the door open and enter the grand room. I sneak a shy glance at my bride but she refuses to meet my gaze. I hear her heart beating a frenzied tempo. She is nervous-not that she needs to voice this-her beating heart is evidence of this. Her breaths seems shorter.

Bella is beginning to sweat-not that I would ever state this to her for I am a gentleman-but I do not know if is from the Brazilian tropical heat, or if it is from her nervousness. Dropping the luggage, I carry her through the rooms, flipping lights on as we pass. We enter the last room and I set Bella down next to the large four-poster bed. I see Bella's eyes widen at the sight.

"I'll... go get the luggage." I quietly leave the room. Standing outside the room, I close my eyes. My fear is palpable. If my heart could beat it would be thrashing like a sailor tossed out to sea. I am consoled by the fact that my heart remains silent as this would cause deep pain and guilt for Bella.

I must not kill her... I must not kill her...

I return to Bella, wiping a stray bead of perspiration from her neck. Her skin is pale like porcelain and just as fragile. "It's a little hot in here," I apologize. "I thought... that would be best."

"Thorough," Bella murmurs softly. I chuckle nervously. Bella cocks an eyebrow, catching my rarely seen nervous state.

"I tried to think of everything that would make this... easier." I say. I think back to the discussions that I have had with Carlisle and my brothers. I wanted to know the best way to make this honeymoon safe and possible for us. I asked what I should expect. Carlisle stated that physical love was very precious and was not be taken lightly. My brothers told me that it is the greatest feeling in the world-next to drinking human blood. I have had human blood and Bella's blood. There can be nothing as potent as that.

"I was wondering if... first... maybe you'd like to take a midnight swim with me?" I pause, gathering my confidence, "The water will be very warm. This is the kind of beach you approve of." I leave Bella to have a 'human moment'. I file past her, dropping my clothes as I proceed out the door.

I head to the water. I am waist deep and the water is warm. With my constant frigid temperature everything is warm to me. I stare out at the moon and feel the little waves lap against my skin. I am in tune with Bella. All this past time with her I know her scent. I know her heart beat. I can tune into it from miles away. Her mind is a silent mystery to me but her face will always give her away, betraying her every fear and thought. I cock my head listening to Bella as she appears to be showering.

I drop my head. I have this extra room in my head; a constantly running server allowing my fears to come to the surface. I caved into her request to try making love to her while she is still human. Does she not know how dangerous this is? Does she not realize that I can snap her neck at a moment's thought? She has immense faith in me and my self-composure, but like Bella is, she doesn't always know what is best for her.

I must not kill her... I must not kill her...

I hear Bella approaching the beach. I will not turn toward her. She does not need to see my fear and anxiety. I gather my resolve, knowing that deep-down Bella loves me as ever much I truly love her. I close my eyes briefly, praying to God that Bella survives this. I have long dismissed any notion of a God-for I am soulless. Bella has argued-over and over-stating that I do have a soul. She stated one's acts define a soul, not that being a vampire automatically condemns one to Hell. I smile and shake my head, knowing that we have agreed to 'disagree' on this matter.

Oh God, what am I doing?

Bella reaches my side and places her hand in mine. "Beautiful,"she states, glancing at the moon. I agree, unimpressed. I take her fingers and entwine them with mine. Our hands are skimming above the water, just warm enough to keep Bella from getting goose bumps.

"But I wouldn't use the word beautiful, not with you standing here in comparison." I declare. I know that my time to stall her has run out. There is no turning back. Only doing so would hurt Bella terribly. With her deeply-rooted insecurities she would feel the blow of rejection. I have seen her experience the sting of rejection before and it was a feeling that I never want Bella to endure ever again. I can refuse her nothing. I never could. Briefly, my mind jolts back to that black period when I left her. I left her for her safety and so that she can forget me and a move on to lead a normal human life. This proved futile as I left her vulnerable to the others who wished her dead.

I will try.

Bella reaches up and places her free hand over my heart. White-on-white - for once we match. I tremble at this intimate touch. We have been intimate before; sharing that clumsy and awkward make- out sessions in her room. We would lay in her bed, me with my shirt off and her wrapped in a cocoon of blankets. This is different. There are no barriers, no one to interrupt by barging into her room. There is no excuse of my chastity. We are married and the only barrier between us now is the warm sea.

"I promised we would try," I whispered. "If...if I do something wrong, if I hurt you, you must tell me at once." My voice is rougher. I need to get through to her the gravity of this situation. I just need to have her know. I need her to acknowledge this and understand.

Bella nods and leans her head against my chest. "Don't be afraid. We belong together." She declares. I hear the truth and conviction in her words. I feel her bravery. So many times I have underestimated her strength. So many times she has surprised me by being resourceful. So many times she was met with adversity and overcame it. I will not let her down. I will draw strength from her faith in me. I will not fail her.

Please, please, survive this...

"Forever," I agree and pull her into deeper water. My eyes are closed. I feel everything. I feel the heat and softness of her body crushing against mine. My arms are protecting and cradling her. I feel her breasts crushing against my chest. The warm water is a soothing blanket. It is shielding Bella from the chilliness of my body.

Bella swings her legs and locks them around my waist. I cannot suppress my gasp. This feeling is indescribable. I have lived over a hundred years and have read the minds of thousands of people. Sexual thoughts are not unknown nor hidden from me. I have read the lust and yearning from many. I have read minds that thought up every conceivable act and sexual position. I have read these thoughts-from faithful married lovers to murderous rapists. I often dismissed them as mundane. I thought very little of these humans who seemed so self-possessed, and so obsessed by sex. But this-this exquisite feeling-I cannot explain. There are no words in any language to remotely describe this feeling. Every negative thought whooshes out of me like the burst of air from a popped balloon. My deeply staunch, self-contained composure has disintegrated. The floodgates have breached. I fight with every

ounce of my being to control myself.

I instantly ball my fists.

Oh my God... my God... this... this feeling! I cannot bear losing this self-control...

Bella opens her eyes and smiles down at me. I thinks she wants to reassure me. She takes her hands and intertwines her fingers in my hair. She pulls my head back and I acquiesce. Bella boldly crushes her lips against mine, starting our lovemaking with brutal and punishing kisses.

I deepen the kiss and slide Bella down my body. My arousal is evident as I know she can feel my erection against her thigh. A small part of me wonders if I am inadequate, a feeling that I have read from hormone-addled teen-aged boys over the decades. Have I, too, fallen into that insecurity? Another part of me is doubting that I can sate her needs. Her body is aflame on mine and I hear her thunderous heart beat. I hear her groans and It is my undoing.

Don't kill her... don't kill her...

My head falls to her neck. I am scenting her. I am making her mine. I nibble and suck love bites, careful not to draw blood. I smell her arousal and feel her dampness. I draw her body up to mine, forcing my member between her thighs. I feel her arousal and I am dumbfounded. My fists are clenched and I lift her body, rutting it against mine. I kiss her long and hard again. I am torn between staying in the water or heading to the room. My mind quickly calculates several reasons to opt for the latter; the main one being that I don't want her to drown.

I swing her in my arms and run up the beach. I am laughing exuberantly. I have never had such a joyous and carefree laugh. I click the door open and lightly toss Bella on the bed. I follow, laying over her resting on my elbows. I stare down at her lovely face and marvel. Bella smiles and kisses my eyelids. I close my eyes and smile against her cheek.

Oh God... can't stop... can't stop... don't ever stop...

I take one hand and slide it to her neck. I grasp it softly, gently wrapping my long fingers around her throat. "I love you." I whisper in her ears. Bella moans softly and pulls my body to hers. Her hands are flames burning a path down my back and to my hips. What I would do make this feeling last?

I must not kill her... I must not kill her...

The feeling of Bella's hands are velvet gloves roaming my body. This is awakening thoughts and feelings that I thought were long dead in my cold body. She is kneading my bottom and I feel like writing odes to this perfection. Her touch is ripping moans from my body. These sounds cannot be considered gentlemanly. She is my wife and I must honor her.

Dear Lord, I want her NOW!

With all control lost, I grab her hands and thrust them into one of mine. "I will try," I whisper. I am trying so hard to reassure her but I feel that this is more directed to myself. I gingerly slide my free from her face and create an icy path to her silky thigh. Closing my eyes, I raise my body, grinding my pelvis to hers. I duck my head, gently taking her breast in my mouth. She arches into me and I want to crush her into me forever. I want to be her breath, I want to be her skin. Her skin is fire on my icy tongue.

I must not kill her... I must not kill her...

I can feel and smell her arousal. Taking my hand I gently ease her thighs apart. Groans are escaping and I can no longer hope to contain them. I slide into her, but am stopped by her maidenhead. I hold Bella's eyes into mine, waiting for her permission for me to continue. I cannot stop now but will if Bella bids it.

Please, please let me get what I want...

Bella nods and I thrust into her. I am tearing her asunder. The sound of her tearing hymen and the instantaneous smell of her blood hits me. My hands - claws, as they seize her hips. A million thoughts run through my head. I remember her scent the first day I met her. I wanted to kill her then and even calculated scenarios on how I could achieve this. Her blood hit me like a wrecking ball and I almost succumbed, my only savior being the unspoken disappointment that I would cause my father. I remember when James bit her and I was forced to suck out the venom. Her blood was my drug and I was lost. I surfaced when I heard my father's voice cut through the haze and pull me to my senses. Carlisle has great faith in me. He told me that my love for Bella would keep me strong enough to keep her safe.

Carlisle keep me strong...

I grab the headboard. It splinters like glass. This feeling is so beyond belief that I know I will break Bella. Better it be the bed-at least I can replace that. I clench my teeth. My body wants nothing more than to bite Bella, letting her hot essence slide down my throat. My throat is an arid desert and only can be soothed by her. Her body is a siren calling me to shore. I am a doomed ship stranded at sea. It is calling to me-'la tua cantante' as Aro once pointed out.

Bella distracts me by grasping my hips, grinding them to her. Her core is magma and it is sending delicious waves up my body. I feel all sensations-her fingers embedded in my back, I feel the slick and slide between her thighs and it is creating a beautiful composition that has no name. I feel her beaded nipples against my chest. I feel her legs entwined in mine...

Please, please survive this...

"Open your eyes," Bella whispers looking into my eyes. I know she can see my awe and wonder of this moment. Pleasure is building and our moans create the music of a thousand composers. My eyes clamp shut. My climax is ripped from me, exploding my thoughts and leaving my mind bereft. For once my mind, usually akin to having several compartments working in unison-is empty.

I look down at Bella. Her heart is a timpani. Her beautiful tresses are plastered on her face. She has never been more beautiful that this. Her puckered lips are swollen and peaked with red and there is a flush of rose covering her flesh. I want her. I need her...

This cannot be stopped...

I hug her and flip us over. I wipe the hair from her face and kiss her eyes. My breathing has calmed, but I cannot speak. I pull her to my lap. I am hard and ready again. Bella smiles mischievously. I want her, I will always want her-for she is mine. I hear her moans and I know that I will let her lead. She kneels up and inserts my penis. I place my hands on her hips, helping to set a rhythm. We come again and again. It was so fast and easy this time. I am a lover who never tires. A lover who will never need sleep. A lover who will always be ready for her.

Bella collapses on my chest. She is spent and she needs her rest. I kiss her teasingly on her nose and bid her to sleep. She giggles, stating she needs to recharge and then drifts of f to sleep.

This is the time I hate. My mind cannot rest. My nostrils are inflamed with her scent and my mind has taken in the memory of this immense pleasure. It is getting almost impossible not to take her again. Shaking my head, I slip from the bed and head out to the beach.

I have failed her...

I enter the bedroom again. I grab the lubricant from the drawer and set it on the bed. My beautiful Bella is on her front and I want her. Just like I wanted her blood, I cannot stop. I will not stop. I slowly stroke her waist, around her hips and to the curves of her thighs. I nudge her and she stirs, seeing the tube of lubricant that is now in my hand. Her eyes widen in shock. I turn my head, pleading and supplicating. She closes her eyes and I know that her resolve has crumbled.

I take the pillows and pile them. I kneel and pull Bella over so that her hips are on the pillows and her face is cradled on the bed. I know I must prepare her. This will cause unimaginative pain. I begin to massage her cheeks and stroke upward until I reach her neck. I then lean in and kiss Bella on her nape and slowly nibble and bite down her back and waist. "You are beautiful...and I am so sorry..."

Bella please forgive me...

I slide my hands under her body, nimbly taking her tender nipples between my fingers. This feels incredible. I moan as I slide my other hand down to her heat. Taking the wetness, I slide my hand up her perineum to her anus. I gently rub the entrance but do not enter.

Dear lord, please forgive me...

Bella gasps as I insert my first anointed finger. Tears are sliding from her eyes and I feel the stab of guilt and I see my red-eyed monster looking back at me. I insert a second digit and stop. Bella's tears are almost my undoing. "Edward, don't stop. I got this." Bella says, fighting the pain between labored breaths. I insert the third finger, kissing her tears away. I set a slow pace, preparing her as much as I can.

I can't fight my monster...

I pull my hand away and prepare my penis and her bottom with the lubricant. I gently nudge and gain entrance. The pain Bella must be facing is killing me but the monster doesn't care. I grasp her hips, pushing until I can gain depth. Bella thrusts her hips back, forcing myself fully into her. The feeling of fullness ignites pure fire. I am wrapped in her body as she is wrapped in my arms. Pleasure overtakes us as I drive her harder into completion. This pain and fear has culminated into the greatest pleasure I have ever known. I know Bella has endured this pain for me.

Sweet, sweet, Bella...

I pull out and roll over to my side. I stroke her back and her bottom gently for I know she will feel pain later. Bella falls asleep as I hear her soft breaths. I close my eyes and wish for death. My monster is laughing and I thought that I banished him so long ago. I look over at Bella- her lips are bruised and her skin is becoming mottled like she has been beaten repeatedly. There are long scratches on her torso and thighs. I am a monster. Her translucent porcelain skin is marred and I am the guilty party.

Disgusted with myself, I jump out of bed. The need to create distance between Bella and myself has never been so urgent. I run and run, but I know that I cannot outrun my shame. I cannot outrun the monster that I thought I have exiled. I run to the other end of this island and know that I can go no farther. I pound on trees, ripping them from the soil. I grab boulders, crashing them to the water. The animals flee and recoil in fear. My monster has won and I feel the shame. My anger is tangible and has no voice.

My monster smiles.

I head back to the house before Bella can wake. I curl up beside her and begin to trace circles around her bruises. The bruises have become so vivid and I want to own each one. If I could kiss them away and take them as my own I would. Having these pains are no match to the pain Bella will feel and the hatred and anger that she will have for me when she becomes aware. I press my hand into a bruise, my hand a perfect match to it. Her lip has drawn blood, her cheeks showing a faint bruise. Each one is a flashing beacon telling me that I am unworthy and was foolish to have put Bella through this.

Bella stirs as the sunlight is peering through the curtains of the bed. She has a smile on her face but I don't understand why. I have debauched her. I am the lowest of lows and she is smiling at me. My jaw is tight as I stare up at the canopy above us.

" Edward, what is it? Whats wrong?" she states with a catch in her throat.

"You have to ask?" I cannot control the hardness and venom of my voice. I am sickened with myself. "What are you thinking?" I whisper. I need to know she is okay. I need her forgiveness. I smooth out the worry lines on her forehead.

"You're upset. I don't understand. Did I...?" Bella doesn't finish. She looks wary and confused. Her heartbeat becomes frantic.

My eyes tighten and my jaw is tight."How badly are you hurt, Bella? The truth - don't try to downplay it." Bella is a martyr and has forgiven me several times in the past–especially when she shouldn't have. She has always been so gracious to me as well as my family. My family may deserve her forgiveness, but I do not.

"Hurt? Why would you jump to that conclusion? I've never been better than I am now." Bella looks herself over and stretches her limbs.

I close my eyes. "Stop that."

"Stop what? Bella states. She looks angry and I know she has every right to be.

"Stop acting like I'm not a monster for having agreed to this." I sneer.

"Edward!" Bella whispers. "Don't ever say that."

I keep my eyes shut now. "Look at yourself, Bella. Then tell me I'm not a monster." I can't bear to see the shock that I know she will see. "I'm... so sorry, Bella," I whisper. "I knew better than this. I should not have... I am more sorry than I can tell you."

I throw my arm over my face. I solemnly pledge that I will not make love to her again until she is changed. I cannot control this monster and this is the way it must be.

Whew! This chapter took longer than I thought! I want to give credit to the Smiths for their brilliant lyrics-'Please, Please, Please let me get what I want...'

A/N: I had a response from a Guest stating, "I hope you are old enough,over 18 again adult fanfiction is not for teens and junior high kids to write,prove me wrong."

(I normally will not respond this way, but 'guest' comments leave me no way to take this conversation off-line.)

My response is as follows: Fanfiction is a community where ANY person of ANY age can write what they choose. That is why there are filters for rating type (K, T, M, etc.) set in the search bar. The disclaimer upon creating an account does state you must be over 18, but I highly doubt this is adhered to as age cannot be proven. Also, unless this 'guest' is the Moderator of this site, her interpretation of what is appropriate and what is not-is moot. I get the impression that she is censuring what is written/read. She cannot set guidelines of the age of the readers nor the age of the authors who post to this site.

Secondly, this story has THREE disclaimers stating that this is mature content. Rating of M, 'Lemons' and lastly, 'don't like, don't read'.

Lastly, I am well over 20 years old and that although this story contains sex, it NEVER has a derogatory word, such as 'cunt, pussy, cock, dick', etc. You get the idea. I will never use these words in my writing. I do not need them to portray my content. However; I will never blast another author for doing so. Nor will I ever question an author's motives for doing so in their stories. I have no right to question the imagination of another. Also, I have read hundreds of stories in this community. There are stories in that have scenarios that will make your toes curl! If my story is read correctly, the message here is that the characters come to age and exercise their marital rights. Most of the story is depicting what thoughts Bella and Edward are thinking and the pleasure they are experiencing. I think that this is fairly accurate for virgins to experience and is not out of the scope of realism.

I hope that this proves my point. (Whew! Enough said!)
