My first attempt at Fan Fiction. I love the Twilight Saga but like many, wished for a little more "details" after the wedding and certainly wanted to know what was going on in Edward's mind. May or may not follow the entire Breaking Dawn synopsis. Depends on where my mind goes. Rated M for safety sake only.

Addendum: I know in the original, B&E were naked when they went into the water. However, when I started to write, I tried to see it from my perspective and what I would do. I don't think either one of them would have the courage to get naked all at once. Some parts of this fanfic will follow the original and then I may veer off a bit.

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Twilight or any of the subsequent books or characters.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Chapter 3

It was still dark when she started to stir but I could see the sun was beginning to peek over the horizon. Within the hour it would turn the sky a pale peach. I told Bella I'd let her sleep for just a little while but she looked so peaceful… so relaxed that I just didn't have it in me to wake her. Besides, we had the rest of our lives together. A few extra hours of sleep wouldn't matter.

She began to move slowly and I could tell by the change in her breathing and the acceleration of her heart that she would be waking soon. I leaned down and gently pressed my lips to hers.

"Good morning Mrs. Cullen", I whispered. I wasn't sure of the reaction I was going to get so I hesitantly continued, "How do you feel?"

Bella stretched her body against mine and murmured, "Ab..so..lute…ly wonderful, Mr. Cullen…how are you?"

A laugh rumbled in my chest as I pulled her even closer. "I couldn't be better." She snuggled against me for a few moments then pulled back.

"Umm…I need a couple of minutes…you know…the human thing and all", she said shyly.

"Go ahead, I'll be right here waiting for you." I hesitated…"Are you hungry? Do you want me to make you something?"

Bella had hopped out of bed and was making her way to the bathroom when she paused and looked over her shoulder. "I'm hungry…but it's not for food. I'll be right back!" she said coyly.

Oh Man….what did I do to deserve her? I thought I finally had my urges under control and with those 7 little words, I had a raging erection and this time, it wasn't going to go away!

While she was in the bathroom, I decided to smooth out the sheets and plump the pillows. That took all of 2 seconds! I needed something else to do so I wouldn't rush into the bathroom and scare her with my excitement. I dashed to the kitchen for some ice cold pineapple juice and bubble water. I knew she wasn't big on champagne but it would have the fizz without the alcohol. I got some grapes, strawberries, sliced some mango and brought it back to the bedroom. There was a small refrigerator so I placed the items in there to keep it chilled.

I could still hear her brushing her teeth and comb her hair. More rustling occurred but by now I was back in our bed, leaning against the headboard with the sheet covering my lower half, haphazardly disguising my erection.

Leaning against the bed, I couldn't help but reflect on our 1st night together. Yes, we didn't technically have intercourse so I hadn't fulfilled my promise yet but it was still one of the best nights of my existence so far. Just the thought of having her in my bed, all alone and naked increased the fullness of my thoughts. I love her and she loves me and if she trusts me, shouldn't I be able to trust myself? My thoughts began to wander when I heard the bathroom door open and my Bella stepped out. She had put on a silk robe, the color of heavy cream that tied in front. The v-neck of the robe dipped low and the hem barely skimmed the top of her thighs. She moved closer to the bed and I could smell the scent of freesia and strawberries emanating from her skin. She must have rinsed off before coming back.

I began to get out of the bed to go to her but she held up her hands, "Stop. It's my turn..don't move." she whispered and came closer to the bed. She crawled on top and knelt next to me. I put my hands behind my head and watched. She slowly pulled the tie of her robe that was holding it close. The silk folds fell apart and hung down giving me a glimpse of her creamy chest but not much else. She leaned over me to kiss me. Her lips burned against mine as she moved them slowly across and parting them. I could taste her minty breath as she slipped her tongue into my mouth. She climbed onto my stomach and put her hands on my shoulders and continued to kiss me. My hands came down to rest on the silkiness of her robe at her waist. Our kisses intesified… I could tell she was feeling the same way as her hands began to roam over my upper torso, into my hair and across my back.

"Bella,", I panted "Slow down… I have to take it from here, okay?"

"Yes" she groaned as I ripped the creamy silk from her body and flipped her so she was laying on the bed. Our lips never left each others as we continued to explore each other with our kisses, each one getting stronger and our hands becoming more urgent.

I dragged my mouth from hers and looked into her chocolate brown eyes that were now almost licorice in color with the passion she felt.

"Please Edward….I love you so much", she mouthed.

I could see that my eyes mirrored in hers were black as well but it wasn't from thirst

I brought my hands to her chest and fondled her breasts, marveling at how her nipples hardened instantly at my touch. I mouthed each one gently, swirling each nub and grazing it with my teeth. My hands traversed down her torso and gently cupped her curls. I could feel the heat from her core and gently brought my fingers to her mons. Her hips bucked as I neared and I slipped my finger between her folds. My God, she was even wetter than before. She moaned and twisted, trying to get my fingers closer.

"Shhhhh……my love", I whispered. I began to gently rub her pleasure button. Her eyes were closed but her mouth was open, panting and she was licking her lips, sometimes biting her lower lip as I increased the pressure. Her hands moved to her breasts as she began to massage them and tweak her nipples. She moaned at the sensations that were coursing through her body. I repositioned myself so that I was now between her thighs. I put my hands behind her knees and lifted so her feet were flat against the mattress.

"Bella…I love you…", I croaked as I covered her body with mine. I could feel the tip of my penis searching for the warmth coming from her. I positioned myself at her opening and leaned towards her, putting my weight on my forearms so I wouldn't crush her. I slowly entered her and she gasped at the sensation. I stopped but she leaned towards me to kiss me and urge me on. I pushed further and felt her barrier. I knew it would hurt so I deepened my kiss as I plunged through. She gasped as she felt the tear but I kissed her mouth and eyes and soon I felt her body relax. Her body began to move in ways as old as time. I adjusted myself so I could meet her thrust for thrust.

She brought her legs around my thighs and I felt her nails caress my back, up and down. Her legs and arms moved in sychronicity to my movements.

"Are you okay?", I whispered.

"Yes…don't stop Edward", she breathed.

I continued to move in and out, each time going a little deeper; creating a friction so raw yet so right between the two of us. She brought her legs up around my waist and locked her ankles around me.

Her body constricted against mine in rhythm, pulling me further inside. I could feel the tension building inside of her, reaching the crest as I continued to pummel her. I was nearing the edge and knew it wouldn't be much longer before I would lose it.

"Bella, open your eyes". I could see the passion and love there. I pushed farther and further, faster and faster. Our eyes locked as the wave after wave of pleasure engulfed us. We were married and we were doing this; as I promised!

It seemed forever as we rode it; the sensation so great we both closed our eyes as we climaxed together. I could feel her pulsing against me and I against her. I grabbed the headboard behind her as I reached the pinnacle and screamed her name as I came. Bella dug her nails and heels into my back as we both found our release. We were a perfect fit; just like she said we would be. I would never doubt her again, my Bella.

As the waves of pleasure subsided and we slowly came back to earth, I couldn't help but smile. I was stronger than the monster that threatened our happiness. He had lost and I had won the ultimate prize. Never would I be afraid to love my wife; in every sense of the word.

I rolled over to my side, gathering Bella close in my arms, my fingers gently caressing her arm. She nestled in closer and put her head on my chest and sighed.

"Edward…that was the most amazing thing that has ever happened to me….thank you"

I pulled her closer, "No my love, I should be thanking you…for your trust and believing in us. I am yours forever….nothing can ever come between us." I kissed the top of her head and held her close to me.

We lay there together, reveling in the peace with only the steady beat of her heart to break the silence. Words were not needed as we were feeling the same overwhelming emotions and satisfaction that comes with being one with the one you love. The faint smiles on our faces said it all.

I looked out toward the horizon and saw the faint peach glow begin to color the morning sky. Our 1st full day of married life and it had begun magnificently! Bella's breathing changed and when I looked down, I saw she had fallen asleep. I guess all the lovemaking took its toll. I, who never sleep, felt a deep sense of relaxation. I knew that if I could, I would have fallen asleep in the afterglow as well. As it were, I closed my eyes and waited for Bella to awaken again. I had a lot planned and none of it required us leaving this room!
