Chapter 4

EPOV

I woke up and looked down at the beauty wrapped around me.

She looked like an angel.

I swear I could kill that James guy for what he's done to her.

He had no right to treat her in such a cruel manner.

I was going to make up for everything he had done to hurt her.

A stray piece of her hair fell into her face.

I tucked it behind her ear.

I loved looking at her as she slept, her lips were parted and her eyelashes rested against her cheeks.

I wanted to wake up like this every morning.

"Mmm... Edward," she murmured in her sleep.

"I love you, baby," I whispered as I kissed her face.

Should I wake her or just go make breakfast for us?

I wanted to spoil her, so I gently moved her over and covered her up.

I spent a few moments gazing at her as she slept.

I was so in love with her.

I slipped on a pair of pajama pants.

As I walked into the kitchen, I thought about last night.

She was so scared that she would disappoint me.

That was so far from the truth.

James had fed her lie after lie.

I was going to shower her with love and affection.

I looked around in the fridge.

There were some bagels that I could toast.

I hoped that would be an acceptable breakfast for her, I would have to make it a point of going grocery shopping soon.

I toasted the bagels and cut up some bananas, pineapple and some strawberries.

I poured us some orange juice and put some coffee in a carafe.

I loaded it all on a tray after the bagels popped up.

I put the cream cheese, butter and jelly on the tray since I didn't know what she took on her bagel.

I set everything on a tray to take back to the bedroom.

As I was walking back to the room, I could hear Bella crying.

I set the tray down on the dresser and rushed to her side.

"Please don't hate me...no..no..Edward..."

"Baby, wake up. Come on. I'm here. Let me see your beautiful brown eyes."

I pulled her up into my arms and stroked the back of her head.

She was crying softly.

"It's okay, Bella. You were dreaming."

"You told me you hated me and that I was a bitch."

I rocked her in my arms.

"That will never happen. I can assure you of that."

I held her till she started to breathe more evenly.

"I brought you something to eat."

"No one has ever brought me breakfast in bed before."

"It's just one more thing you'll need to get used to now."

I walked over to the dresser and brought the tray over to her.

She looked adorable as she settled into the pillow.

I set the tray down and she picked up one of the cups.

"I hope you like bagels, love. I need to go to the grocery store soon."

"Bagels are good. If you need to go today, I would go with you."

"Perhaps we can make a stop by there at some point. I have a surprise planned or you."

She looked up from her food and met my gaze.

"I hope you aren't spending too much on me."

She was too adorable for words.

"Baby, money is not an issue, and this really does not involve it any way. I want to take you someplace special."

"You already did that for me last night."

I took a sip of coffee before I responded.

"I know I took you to dinner last night, but that was only the beginning of things to come."

She nibbled on some grapes.

"You have to forgive me, Edward. I am having difficulty getting used to a man being this affectionate to me. James never gave me surprises. He gave me headaches."

"I will do my best to make you feel loved, Bella, and to forget all of the things he neglected to do for you."

I despised him.

"I'm sure, you'll do your best. But its really not necessary."

"Yes it is. I want to spoil you and shower you with love. It hurts me that you always put yourself down."

She looked down at the comforter.

"I don't know how to be any other way," she said softly.

"Tell me how I can make you forget what he did, baby."

She stood up and walked toward the window.

She had a sheet wrapped around her body.

I walked over to her.

"You're everything he wasn't. This has happened so suddenly. I'm trying to wrap my brain around how wonderful you are."

I took her in my arms and laid her head over my heart.

She nodded again.

"He did not posses one, but I do. You own it completely, It only beats for you. Whenever you think you don't deserve something, please remember it's coming from here."

"Oh, I...I love you so much, Edward. I promise I'll try to push away the past. Will you be patient with me?"

"I could never deny you anything, baby. Would you like to finish breakfast?"

"Please. You went to so much trouble."

"Not really, but I wanted to bring you something to eat."

We ate quietly for a few minutes.

I was glad to see her getting some food in her stomach.

"I need to go home to get some clothes in a little bit. I can't wear my little black dress again."

"I already had that planned. I was going to take you home in a few minutes to let you get ready to go out with me. If you would like to go out today."

"I would love to go out with you today. What shall I wear?"

"How about something more casual. Perhaps jeans and a t-shirt?"

"That sounds good. I need to slide my dress on long enough to get me from here to there."

She stood up and grabbed her clothes to take into the bathroom.

I was thinking about the two of us sharing a home.

I meant it when I told her she would never sleep alone again.

I slipped on a shirt before she came out.

I took the tray of dishes back to the kitchen.

"Are you ready, baby?"

I turned around to see her standing there with a sweet smile on her face.

"Yeah, let me grab my keys."

Hearing her call me baby, was amazing. I don't even think she realized that she called me it.

We walked outside together, and I helped her get into the car.

After I was in, I took her hand in mine to kiss it.

"How about I come over in thirty minutes and then we can leave if you're ready."

"I'd love that. I'll miss you."

I could not help but smile after she said that to me.

"I'll miss you, too. It's a good thing we live this close."

"I guess it is."

I parked in her driveway and helped her get out.

"I'll be back in a few minutes, baby. In the meantime, let this be on your mind."

I captured her lips with mine in a searing kiss.

She tasted like coffee and strawberries.

It was quickly becoming my favorite combination.

"If you don't leave, we might give the neighbors a show they may not like."

Her words made me laugh as I was pulling back.

"I'll be back for you soon, baby."

She waved bye to me and walked into her house.

I drove back to my house and went inside to get dressed and make my plans for the day.

Earlier in the week, I had driven around Forks to see what was here.

I went off the beaten path and found a secluded meadow.

It was green and lush.

While I was there, I had a vision of Bella and I making love there.

She would look beautiful naked in the sunlight on a blanket.

I was getting hard thinking about it.

I needed something to get my mind off that image.

I'll bet James never did anything like this for her.

I wondered what he looked like and how long they were together, and I wondered why they broke up.

He would not want to meet me.

If that happened, he would be fortunate to still breathe afterward.

Bella deserved better than him.

I'm going to prove that to her.

As I was getting ready to walk out the door, my phone rang.

"Hello"

"Hey Edward. How are you?"

"Hey Alice, I'm fine. I'm more than fine. How are you?"

"I'm good. You sound chipper? What's up?"

I was not sure if I should mention anything about Bella to her.

"I'm going out with a friend for a while. We have plans for the day."

"I won't keep you long. Tell me, though, is it a lady friend?"

"She is one of the teaches from the school I'm volunteering at here in Forks. We're getting a bite to eat and hanging out. Nothing serious."

She let out a sigh.

"I was hoping you had found someone, Edward. You have not had a serious girlfriend in years."

"I haven't' found the right one, yet. I will let you know when I do."

I hated not telling her, but I wanted to keep Bella to myself for now.

"I only want you to be happy."

"I know sis, but I got to be going or I'll be late."

"Okay, Call me sometime. I miss the sound of your voice."

"I will. Bye."

"Bye Edward."

I put my phone in my pocket.

I did not want her to know about Bella yet.

In my heart, I knew she was the one I wanted for the rest of my life,

Other people might see us as impulsive.

I did not want their opinions to hurt the woman I loved.

I was trying to build up her confidence and they would only hurt her.

I walked out to my car with a blanket and some wine in a picnic basket.

We would stop at the little general store out on highway 101 for some food for the picnic basket.

I was in her driveway in less than a minute.

She came walking out of the door as I was getting out of the car.

She had on jeans and a well fit navy t-shirt.

That was my favorite color now, next to the chocolate shade of her eyes.

"Hey. You have great timing."

I leaned down to kiss her.

"I wanted to get here as soon as possible to pick you up, Bella."

"Let's get going. I wanted to stop off and get some food."

"Where are we going?"

"Down Highway 101, baby. I wanted to stop off and get some food for us."

I opened the car door and waited for her to get inside.

"Thank you," she said.

Once inside she noticed the basket in the backseat.

"Is this part of your surprise?"

"Yes it is, but you'll have to wait on the other part."

She nodded as I closed the door.

I walked around and slid into the driver's seat.

I pulled out of her driveway and sped down the road.

"Are you in a rush?"

"Would you blame me if I said I wanted to be alone with you?"

She giggled and I was in heaven.

"I want to be alone with you also."

We made it to the general store and I put the car in park.

As soon as we made it inside, our hands were intertwined.

I watched her as we walked around.

The smile on her face was endearing.

We selected some deli sandwiches and bags of chips.

For dessert I picked out some chocolate covered strawberries.

Bella did not notice that detail.

It was one more way of spoiling her.

After I bought our food, we got back into the car.

She looked happy and radiant.

I wanted to always see her like this.

A few miles down the road, I turned off the highway onto a gravel road.

"Close your eyes, Bella."

"Why?" she asked her voice shaky.

I knew she was hesitant.

I could only blame him for this.

"I promise you will be happy. Keep holding my hand."

The gravel turned to grass and she continued to hold onto me.

I was hoping she felt some comfort as I rubbed my thumb over her hand.

"It's okay baby, you'll like this surprise."

I put on the brakes and shifted the car into park.

She opened her eyes and gasped.

"It's..it's breathtaking, Edward. How did you find this place?"

"I went driving around a few days ago and I basically stumbled upon it. I've wanted to bring you here ever since."

The smile I longed to see had returned to her face

"I promised you we would always have romance, baby."

"I'm speechless, but I love it. Thank you."

I got out and walked over to her side. I opened the back door and took out the basket and blanket.

We walked together to a soft patch of grass.

She set down the basket and I laid the blanket on the ground.

I watched her get comfortable in the center of it.

"You don't realize how beautiful you are, do you Bella?"

"'I've never thought of myself in that way. Is that how you see me?"

"It would take me too long to say how I fully see you, but beautiful is one of the first words that comes to my mind."

I poured some wine in a glass for her.

"Why? I'm so ordinary, nothing special."

If I had to spend every day of my life telling her that she was amazing, I would be more than happy to do that.

"You didn't answer me?"

"Bella, you mean the world to me. I could never call you ordinary."

"And they were wrong. I know your students don't think of you that way."

"They're different. They only see me as Miss Swan."

"That's beside the point. You are making a big difference in their lives, as well as their parent's lives. They will always remember you, Bella, even when they grow up. A good teacher is not simply ordinary."

"I guess so."

"Baby, can I ask why you and James broke up?"

She took in a deep breath.

"He came home late one night. We had grown apart over time, but he would not let me move on. I could smell the alcohol on his breath. He wanted to have sex, but I said no. We hadn't been intimate in ages. I said no, and then he...he..."

Tears started to fall out of her eyes. I pulled her into my lap.

I wasn't sure I'd like what she was going to say

."You don't need to tell me any more."

"No, I need to get this out. My therapist said its best if I talk about it, Edward. He grabbed my arms and slammed me against a wall. I hit it so hard that a picture frame fell and hit my head. I must have passed out because when I woke up, he was gone."

"Did you get medical attention?"

"The next morning at school, the principal saw the bruises on my arms. She took me to the emergency room and the doctor told me I had a slight concussion. My back was also bruised from the impact."

I wrapped my arms as tightly around her body as I could.

"D... did he force himself on you, baby?"

"There was one time where he forced me to go down on him. I think he was drunk that night, too."

White hot anger ran through my veins.

I wanted to do bodily harm to this asshole.

No man should do that to a woman.

"How long were you together?" I asked

"Almost a year. We met in college, and he was a different person. He was getting his degree in engineering. When we moved here, something about him changed. He told me he hated Forks and wanted us to move to Seattle"

"Please tell me you moved out after that night he hurt you."

"I did.I stayed over at Angela's place for a while before I moved into the house I'm in now. James was renting the place we were living in, so I had no ties to it."

"And you have not seen him since that night?"

She nodded her head no as she took a bite of her sandwich.

"He had no right to touch you like that or force you to do that to him. If I ever do anything to make you feel uncomfortable, you have to tell me right , baby?"

She looked up at me with a trusting gaze, "I know you won't hurt me. I feel safe when we're together."

"Are you getting enough to eat?"

"Yes I am. It's delicious, Edward."

I placed soft butterfly kisses on her neck.

"Mmm... I love the feel of your lips on my skin."

I laid her on her back and moved my mouth to hers.

We began kissing slowly,

Her hands were in my hair, playing with the strands.

I touched my tongue to her lips.

She opened her mouth to me and I eagerly pushed my tongue inside her mouth.

Our bodies were pressed up against each other.

I pulled away from her lips and kissed over to her earlobe.

"I want to make love to you here, baby..Will you let me?"

"Oh, yes please, Edward."

I sat up and pulled my shirt off.

She ran a finger over my chest.

"I am so in love with you. Will you undress me?"

"I've wanted to do that since you came out of your front door."

"What's stopping you now?" she asked.

I grabbed her shirt by the hem and pulled it off her in a heartbeat.

She had on a blue lacy bra.

It was my turn to gasp.

Her shoes came off and then I unzipped her jeans.

As I took off my shoes, socks, and jeans, she laid back on the blanket.

I stood over her to simply stare.

"Edward," she murmured.

"I think you're still wearing too much, Bella."

She unfastened her bra and tossed it along with her blue panties to the side.

My fantasy was now a reality.

My dream girl was naked, letting the sun kiss every inch of her glorious skin.

I removed my boxers and joined her on the blanket.

My cock was so hard as I nudged her legs apart.

"Next time, I will bring my camera. I need to capture your sweet image forever."

"You would take pictures of me ...naked?"

I ran my fingers over her hard pink nipples.

"As long as you are not uncomfortable, I would love to do that. They would be only for my eyes, baby. I am far too selfish to ever share you with any one else."

I watched as the tears welled in her eyes as my fingertips circled her nipple.

"Is this making you feel bad?"

I needed to know.

Watching her cry broke my heart.

"No, it makes me feel beautiful. No one has ever made me feel the way you do."

Relief washed over me.

"So those are happy tears?"

"Yes."

I kissed each one of them away from her face.

"I forgot to tell you earlier, but I'm deeply in love with you, too."

I moved my way over her body with my mouth.

Every inch of her body deserved to be worshiped in reverence.

I grazed my lips over her nipples.

Then I took one into my mouth, greedily sucking on it.

Her head was thrown back and her eyes closed as I continued.

"Edward," she murmured.

"What is it, baby?"

"That feel so good...please don't stop."

I had not intention of stopping.

"Never, baby," I said as I moved to her other breast and sucked that nipple between my lips.

Her hips were moving against me.

I felt her drag her fingers over my back.

I lifted my face to see her love for me shining in her eyes.

It was all I ever wanted to see.

She gave me everything.

How anyone could hurt her was beyond reason.

That was one of the reasons why I had to show her how deeply, how intensely I loved her.

I made my way down her stomach, teasing her belly button with my tongue.

"I thought that might tickle you. I love your reaction."

She giggled as I blew a raspberry on her flat belly.

I moved my hands over her belly and thought about how one day our child will be growing inside there.

I could not wait to see her pregnant with our child.

It would take my breath away.

"May I go down on you, baby?"

"I .. I guess so, if you want to do that again."

"I always want to, baby. I love the look on your face when I can make you come."

I ran one of my fingers over her folds.

"Does that feel good?"

"Ooh y..yes," she said as a soft moan escaped her lips.

I pressed down on her clit, wanting to see that would affect her.

My mouth watered as I could tell she was getting wetter the more I touched her.

It was all I could do to keep from burying my mouth in her pussy.

I wanted to wait on her because she was worth it.

I kissed down her legs.

I licked the inside of her thighs.

She showed no signs of uneasiness.

Then I pressed a finger inside her pussy.

She was drenched.

I had to be certain she was okay.

"Baby, this is not too much, is it?"

I knew James had hurt her and I vowed not to do the same.

"No, no...please don't stop, Edward."

"Oooohhhh...I want more."

I blew on her again as I pushed my fingers in further.

As long as she wanted more, I was going to give it to her.

I loved watching as her clit hardened and stood erect.

I could no longer hold back from tasting her.

I began bathing her with my tongue.

Her nectar was indescribably sweet.

I was completely addicted.

Her body was writing as I continued to lap her pussy.

"Edward, please don't stop...oooohhhh."

I loved hearing her moan and whimpers as I moved my fingers and tongue inside her.

"Let me make you come, baby."

I felt her walls tighten around my finger, and I slid another one inside her pussy.

I wanted her to shatter around them.

"Edward," she called as she arched upward as I curled my fingers inside her.

Bella began to come hard.

She screamed my name, squirting out on my face.

I drank up all of her sweet offering.

I loved seeing her body writhing beneath my touch and her chest heaving as she panted.

It was enough and yet it was not.

My cock ached as I watched this unfold in front of my eyes.

I wanted to see her riding my cock, but I'm not sure how to get her to do that.

I wouldn't push her, I'd let it happen at its own pace.

I pulled her up into my arms, thinking maybe this would help get us past her insecurities.

She hid her face against my neck.

"I love you endlessly," I whispered.

"I-I love y-you, too."

She was still trying to catch her breath.

"I'm...I'm a little winded."

"I know you are, baby. Let me hold you."

"Can I ask you something? Please don't get mad okay?"

"You can ask me anything."

"W..was that normal? Or is there something wrong with me?" she asked.

"There is nothing wrong with you, Bella. You looked beautiful. Thank you for letting me make you come."

She blushed as I spoke to her.

"That happened so rarely if at all with James."

"As long as you'll let me, I want to make you come every time we make love."

I took her small hand in mine and kissed her knuckles.

"Can I ask you something?"

She looked up into my face.

"What would you like to know?"

"If you are not comfortable, then we don't have to do this. I want to know if you'll sit on me while we make love?"

"Y..you mean be on top?" she asked.

"If that's alright with you, I would love to see you on top of me."

I knew she was thinking about this.

"Will you keep your arms around me? I'll feel safe that way?"

"Of course, baby. Anything you need, I'll do."

I kissed her face lovingly.

"Okay, but I have to tell you I've never done it this way. He never allowed it, he said it took control away from him."

Yet one more reason to hate him.

"A relationship isn't about control, baby. Its about sharing and loving each other to the fullest."

"I want that with you, Edward."

"And we'll have that, baby. I promise."

I kissed her lips, letting my tongue travel inside her mouth.

She explored my mouth slowly.

I lifted her body carefully and set her down on my cock.

"Bella, please stop me if this is uncomfortable."

I eased in at a slow pace.

I heard her gasp once I was fully inside her.

The was no way I could give into my baser side and fuck her.

There would be other opportunities for me to do that.

Right now, all that mattered was that she was happy and pleasured.

Staying true to my word, I wrapped my arms around her shaking body as tightly as possible.

"Are you okay?" I asked.

"You feel so good inside me."

That boosted my confidence.

"That's good to know," I said with a chuckled as I moved her over me.

I wanted her to lose her inhibitions.

I imagined her fucking me with raw abandonment.

I closed my eyes and lost myself In the feeling of her tight pussy.

One day, we'll get past her fears and she might let her inner vixen out to play.

For now, I was more than satisfied making love to her in this manner...slowly, gently.

Then she surprised me.

"May...may I sit up some?"

"Sure, baby. You can do anything you want."

She sat up directly over me, taking my hands in hers.

"I need to feel this reassurance."

"I want to give it to you."

I needed to move inside her.

The sun was shining on her body, causing it to glow.

Damn, I really wanted a picture of her exactly like this.

I burned the image in my brain.

Her tits bounced as she moved over me.

"Baby, I want to touch you please."

She nodded yes as she moaned my name.

After she placed her hands on my chest, I began palming her breasts.

"So fucking beautiful, baby," I said as she rocked above me.

I placed one of my fingers over her clit and pinched it.

"O..oohhh yes," she screamed as she pushed herself down on me.

"That's it baby, Let go for me."

Her walls clamped down on my cock, making it impossibly hard.

I was becoming a panting mess as I felt my orgasm taking over.

I wanted to take her again and again.

My eyes rolled in the back of my head as the pleasure took over.

"Uugghhh...Bella...Bella."

I loved chanting her name.

She was soon on top of me, curled up, shaking hard.

"Was that too much, Bella?"

I was having a hard time breathing, too.

If I hurt her, I was not sure how I would react.

I could still feel her pussy trembling around my softening cock.

"Ba.. by, talk to me," I said.

"Edward, you gave me the greatest pleasure a man can give a woman. I will never understand why you chose me. I'm just a little weak. Will you hold me?"

I ran my hands over her body, trying to show her my love.

"I'll hold you for as long as you want."

"Forever sounds perfect," she whispered.

I smiled as I considered that possibility.

I wanted her forever.

As my girl, my wife, the mother of my children, my lover.

I knew I would be asking my mom for Grandma Cullen's engagement ring soon.

Bella wasn't complaining about how fast we were moving.

I was happy about the pace.

I knew I at least had to introduce her to my family before I could ask her to move in and marry me.

That could be arranged soon.

She sat up a bit and looked down at me.

"I love you, Edward."

"I love you, Bella. Always."

"This could be our special place."

An idea popped into my mind.

"Before we leave, I want to do something."

She tilted her head as she looked at me.

"What are you planning?"

"Let's get dressed first. Otherwise, I will be liable to take you again, baby."

I loved watching her put her jeans on.

She jumped up and down as she pulled them up.

It was another thing that I found endearing about her.

"What?" she asked biting her lip.

"Can you blame me if I love watching you? You're a very sexy woman, Bella Swan."

She shook her head.

"Edward, are you sure about that?"

I pulled up my pants and threw on my shirt.

"I am totally sure that you are the sexiest woman I have ever laid my eyes on, baby."

I placed my hands on her arms.

"There aren't many men like you. I am fortunate that you looked my way."

I kissed her forehead.

"It is me that is the lucky one. You said yes to me."

A few raindrops began to fall.

"Let's get our things before the storm bursts."

We gathered up the blanket and the rest of the food.

I folded the blanket and then I took out my Swiss Army knife.

"What are you doing?" she asked.

"You'll see."

I took her hand and we walked over to tree.

I took the blade and began carving our initials in the tree.

Thankfully, we were protected from the rain by the tree branches.

Her eyes were large as she watched me.

A few minutes later, I was carving a heart around our initials.

"Oh, Edward, that is the sweetest thing anyone has ever done for me. I'm speechless."

"That is there for all time, baby. I've marked this as our place forever."

She pulled me to her and kissed me as our tongues tangled together.

The rain was falling all around us.

I needed to get her back to the car before she became sick.

"Let's get going, Bella. I want to take you home."

We ran back to the car together.

I had to get her inside, settled.

Once inside the car, we both laughed as we sat there soaked.

"I'm sorry, baby. I should've checked the weather," I said pushing her wet hair out of her eyes.

"No it's to be expected. We live in the rainiest state anyway. I am forever thankful that we came here."

Seeing her this wet made me want to see her in the shower.

I would take her against the wall her legs would be wrapped around me.

I needed to get us home and into the hot shower so that I could fuck her and then we could eat the strawberries in bed.

"Edward, did you want to start the car?"

I was lost in a Bella fantasy again.

I turned on the engine and drove back toward the highway.

"Are you cold?"

"Y..yes."

I turned in the heater.

I needed to keep a spare blanket in the car to keep her warm.

"Are you tired, baby?"

"Not too much. Did you have any plans for the rest of the day?"

Did I ever.

"When we get home, I want to take a shower...with you."

I heard her moan softly.

"Then what?"

"I want to make love to you the rest of the day, but only if that makes you happy."

"You mean in the shower, too?"

"Especially in the shower."

I looked over at her and gave her a crooked smile.

"That will be another first for me," she said.

"I'm glad I can share so many of these firsts with you."

"Mmm... too. There is one first I want to do for you," she said as she looked down.

I wondered what exactly she meant by that statement.

"I-I want to taste you in the shower, Edward."

My mind was reeling over her words.

She wanted to go down on me in the shower.

My cock was straining against the zipper.

I could not get home fast enough.

"I...Is that okay? You haven't said anything."

"Baby, I can't get home fast enough."

We were back in my driveway, and I was at her door as fast as my feet would take me.

We made it to the door in record time.

After I placed the key in the lock and turned the knob, I lifted her into my arms.

"I love it when you do that."

"Do you mean when I carry you?"

"Yes."

She was running her fingers over my face.

"I love your stubble, too."

"I need to shave soon."

"Not too soon. I love the feeling of it over my pussy."

I set her down on the counter and attacked her mouth with mine.

My hands pulled at her t-shirt as I pushed it up her body.

She was making it impossible for me to be slow and gentle.

Or maybe she was casting aside her fears.

"Fuck me, Edward," she whispered against my ear.

I ripped her bra off, needing to get to her nipples.

As long as she wanted it this way, I would give it to her.

"Ooohhhh, yes, please..."

Her body was shivering.

Her teeth were chattering.

"I'm-I'm just a li-li-little cold."

I reached over and turned on the water.

"I'll get you warm soon, baby."

She lifted her hand to her mouth.

Before she could respond, she took her jeans off and pulled her panties down.

I could not bear to see her shivering, so I pulled back the curtain to let her inside the shower.

I striped off my clothes and stepped under the warm water.

She looked glorious as the water cascaded over her body.

I took her in my arms and began to pepper her face with kisses.

"Do you still want me to fuck you, baby?"

"Yes, fuck me Edward."

How could I resist her?

I got down on my knees and licked her folds.

Her fingers found my hair as she pulled at it.

"Oh yes, Edward, more."

I pushed two fingers deep inside, curling them.

I looked up to see her watching me.

"Yes,,,yes ...now please."

I sucked her erect clit as her eyes were locked with mine.

She had her hands in my hair, fisting it.

I buried my face in her pussy as she showered me with her cum.

I groaned as I felt her muscles spasm.

I wanted to bury my cock in her sweet pussy.

"Ooooh y...yes, Edward. So good, fuck," she screamed as her pussy shuddered against my face.

I pulled back after I was sure I could no longer wait to fuck her.

My cock could not handle much more.

"I still want a taste, Edward."

"Before or after I fuck you?" I asked.

"I want it right now."

She got down on her knees in front of me.

"Baby, you know you don't have to do this?"

"I know, but I want to willingly do this for you."

I wanted this so much, but it pained me to see her doing this.

Then she dragged her tongue over my shaft.

I was a goner.

I could barely keep my eyes open.

I slipped my hand into her hair and I gently guided her over my cock.

I had to be very careful with this.

I did not want her to think about him right now.

I felt her hand trembling against my leg as she placed it on my thigh.

She took me into her mouth, hollowing out her cheeks.

I wanted this to never stop, but at this rate I was bound to come in her mouth.

"Bella, I need you to stop."

"Am I doing it wrong?"

"Quite the opposite. I could come in your mouth if you kept going."

"Oh my...I was not expecting that."

I picked her body up and set her against the wall.

"Do you still want me to fuck you, baby?"

"More than ever, Edward."

That was all the reassurance I needed.

I lined my cock up with her pussy and pressed inside.

Her tightness was almost too much.

I wanted her to come before I did.

My thrusts were shallow at first.

"I need more, Edward. Fuck me harder."

I obligingly gave her more.

"Y...yes, yes, Edward," she chanted as I pounded my cock into her pussy.

I felt the waves of her orgasm crashed over her.

My cock responded as I pushed in a deep as possible.

I came all over her walls in hot, thick ribbons.

My face was pressed against her neck.

I eased out and set her back on her feet.

"That was amazing, Edward."

I was worried about her.

Her smile, her beautiful smile, made me feel alive.

"It was not too much, baby?"

"What do you mean?"

"I wanted to make love to you, but I could not control my self. I fucked you, Bella."

"I wanted you to fuck me."

"The point I'm trying to get across is that I don't want you to think I'm anything like James."

She pressed a finger to my lips.

"You'll never need to worry about that, Edward. He only fucked me because he lacked the capacity to love anyone beside himself."

"I love you, baby. I want you to know that everyday."

"I love you, too."

We bathed each other.

I paid special attention to her tits and her pussy.

She made sure my cock was clean, too.

I got out first to get a towel for her.

I pulled back the curtain and she gracefully stepped out.

I patted her dry.

"I need to dry you off, Edward."

I handed her the towel and she made quick work of her task.

"Let me take you to bed, Bella. I have one more small surprise."

"Another one? You meant business when you said you were going to spoil me."

"This is only the beginning, baby. I love you and I want to show you how much every day."

"I love you, too. More than words can express."

I took her hand in mine again and brought her over to the bed.

"Lay back, baby. I need to get something from the other room."

I walked into the den and searched through the basket.

After I had them in my hand, I went back into the bedroom.

She had her knees pulled up against her chest with her arms wrapped around.

I set the box down and sat beside her.

"Do you like strawberries?"

She blinked a few times.

"They are my favorite fruit. Why do you ask?"

"Because I bought a box of chocolate covered strawberries for you."

I grabbed the box and opened it.

The smile on her face was priceless.

"Mmm... they smell great," she said as I lifted one out of the box and held it up to her lips.

She opened her mouth to take a bite.

I enjoyed feeding her.

She let out a moan as she ate.

I could listen to that all night.

As she ate the rest of the strawberry, I licked her neck.

"Do you want a bite?" she asked.

She picked up a strawberry and placed it to my lips.

I took a bite as she grinned at me.

"Thank you for getting them," she said as I was swallowing it.

"You deserve this and much more."

I handed her another one.

"Lay on your belly. I want to rub your back."

She turned over and I was granted a view of her cute ass.

While she ate, I massaged her back.

I saw a small mark on her right shoulder.

"What is this, baby?"

"Oh, it's just a scar."

I had to ask about it.

"How did you get a scar here?"

"I hit the corner of the dresser about a year ago. I was in his way, and he pushed me out of the way."

I removed one of my hands from her back as I made a fist.

"Are you okay, Edward?"

"Part of me is mad as hell, Bella, because he made your life miserable."

I unclenched my fist and placed it on her back.

I focused on the softness of her skin.

Then I looked down at her ass.

"That feels really good Edward."

She was not crying.

Usually when we talk about him, she cries.

Her angelic face was on the pillow and she looked content.

"I'm proud of you, baby."

She lifted her head up and looked over her shoulder at me.

"Why?"

"Because we talked about something that happened in your past that could have easily made you upset. But you're lying here, relaxed, enjoying yourself. I'm amazed."

"It's because of you, Edward. You make me feel so relaxed."

I fell a little deeper in love with her.

"I saved the last strawberry for you," she said softly.

I took a bite, but I fed her the other half.

I knew we had fucked in the shower, but I had to show her once again how much I loved her.

"Bella, if you don't want to, I'll be more than happy snuggling, but I want to make sweet, gentle love to you one more time."

"I was hoping you would feel the same way."

She laid back on the bed, her hair across the pillow.

I could stare at her for hours.

My mouth was soon on her, tasting, nibbling, licking.

Our hands were roaming, touching, caressing.

My lips moved over her face and down her neck.

"Please come inside me now, love," she said as I kissed my way toward her luscious tits.

"Are you ready?"

"Yes...yes."

I wanted to be inside her, filling her completely.

Her legs were spread wide for me as I pulled her hips down. My cock slid inside her wet pussy.

This was not about fucking.

It was about the two of us sharing our deep, abiding love in the most passionate way.

"I love you so damn much," I whispered as I claimed her as my own.

"Edward, I love you with all of my heart. There is no man for me but you."

Our quiet whispers of affection and soft moans filled the room.

She came as I held her close to my body.

"Oh,,,oh...sooo good."

I fell over the edge moments later.

I had my eyes closed as I took in every sensation.

"Bella, mmm..Bella," I murmured against her ear.

Her breathing was labored, much like mine.

How was I ever going to get my fill of her?

"Edward, please don't ever leave me."

I looked at her as I pulled out.

"Never, baby."

I pulled her close to me and settled her over my heart.

"James always teased me about how he would leave me when I least expected it."

"I'd never be so cruel to say anything like that. I'm not going anywhere, Bella. I'm going to marry you one day," I said as I kissed her forehead.

I was not sure how she would take that statement.

I could not keep it to myself any longer.

"Did you say...marry me?"

"Yes, baby. I'm going to marry you."

I took her face in my hands and poured my love for her into that kiss.

"When you ask me, I will say yes," she said.

I was the happiest man on the planet.

Bella was going to say yes when I asked her to be my wife.

I guess I needed to get the ring soon.

I'll need to meet her parents.

We'll have to go back to Seattle to have dinner with my family.

That was in the future, though.

She was becoming sleepy in my arms and I held her tightly.

"Are you ready to go to sleep, baby?"

"Mmmm-hmmm."

I kissed her face as her eyes fluttered.

"I'll be here, holding you, keeping you safe all night, Bella. I love you."

"I love you, Edward. Sweet dreams."

She curled up into my arms and drifted to sleep.

I watched her for a few minutes.

"Good night my future wife."

I held her tightly as I drifted off to sleep.
