Ch.6 I do

EDWARD

As we prepare to land in Vegas, I sit and ponder over the last 6 hours. The moment I laid eyes on this gorgeous creature, she became the most important person and most important thing in my whole existence. Our souls knew each other the moment we saw each other and have drawn us together.

I had been merely existing until I met her. The other women...and man...I've been with only seem to be distant, faint memories. I was very reluctant in telling her about my experience with Ben and Angela but she surprised me with her confession of her own experience. I will admit that it angers me a little that another man has seen her delectible body but at the same time, I am turned on at imaginging her with another female. What? I'm a man, sue me.

We know so little about each other but that matters little when it comes to the heart and soul. I knew without a doubt when I first saw her, that she was mine. Why wait to take it to the next level? I was prepared to fight for her even if there was someone else in her life but glad I didn't have to resort to dramatics in getting her. I am Edward Cullen. I ALWAYS get what I want. Yes, I can be very arrogant but that is what it takes to be someone in this world and obtain the things you want.

I look over at the beauty next to me and can't wait to make her mine in all ways.

I bring her hand to my lips and kiss her knuckles then the inside of her wrist. She smells so good. No perfume could compare to her natural scent. MMM, and the way she tastes. Pure honeysuckle, so sweet and intoxicating. Fuck, just thinking about that goes straight to my cock. That monster is ready to break out of my pants. He, too, wants a taste of that sweet pussy. Well, he won't have to wait much longer.

I look at her beautiful face, so Angelic, and my heart stutters at the love and pure adoration staring back at me. I just have to lean over and kiss her. She moans and my heart starts thumping in my chest. How did I ever live without her?

"I love you, my beautiful Bella. I can't wait to make you mine. Isabella Cullen. Sounds wonderful. Are you excited my love?"

"Yes, baby. I can't wait either but I do have one stipulation."

"Anything." I reply to her.

"I want to keep my maiden name as my middle name if that's okay. My parents passed away several years ago and I love and cherish the memory of them and want to continue carrying that name."

"I wouldn't have it any other way, precious. They made you who you are and I respect your wishes." I responded and kissed her. If she only knew that she could have anything her heart desires. She is my princess, my heart and my life. I WILL give her everything and then some.

BELLA

"Thank you handsome and you are right, Isabella Cullen sounds perfect."

"No, Isabella Swan Cullen, sounds perfect." Edward whispered against my lips.

"What is your middle name, Angel?" He asked me.

"Marie."

"Hmm, Isabella Marie Swan Cullen. Very nice." He says while trailing kisses down my neck.

"Mmhmm, very nice. Keep going." I whimper and reach over to rub his very impressive hard on.

"Love, don't start something we can't finish right now." He seductively whispers in my ear.

I grab his face and give him one last lingering kiss before reluctantly breaking away. He kisses my forehead and whispers "soon" before texting someone on his phone.

I completely forgot that Angela was sitting across from us but she was busy reading, minding her own business and giving us as much privacy as possible.

"So, Angela, how long have you and your husband been married?" I decide to engage her in conversation.

"Three years now. It has been a whirlwind romance." She smiles and ducks her head down shyly.

"That's wonderful. Any children?"

"Oh, no, not yet. We wanted to wait a while. We are very invested in our careers right now and are enjoying the time to ourselves. We will probably start planning for children in the next couple of years." I just nod and smile at her.

"How about you. You want children?" She asks me and I notice Edward gain interest in our conversation, yet still act like he wasn't paying us any attention.

"Yes, very much so. Just been waiting for the right man; and timing is everything." I respond and slyly peek over at Edward's reaction.

He just smirks and acts like he didn't overhear my answer.

"You are right about that." She says back.

We both just smile and get lost in our own thoughts.

The silence is broken when the pilot comes back over the intercom announcing that they are preparing to descend and to please turn off all electronic devises. Edward, Angela and I all turn off our cell phones simultaneously and put them away.

Edwards grabs and squeezes my hand. I look over at him and see the most peaceful expression on his face. I lean over and kiss his cheek and ask what has placed that sweet look on his face.

"You, my Bella, you." He turns to kiss me sweetly on the lips.

"...and the children we are going to have. Little Angels, just like their momma." I melt at his heartfelt confession.

"So, you want children?" I ask him.

"Yes, my Bella, I certainly do."

"How many do you want Edward?"

"As many as you'll give me, baby."

"Well, I guess we're going to be quite busy." I say cheekily.

"Hmmm, yes, if I have my way, we will be very busy." He says and kisses me again.

"How soon do you want children, Edward?"

"As soon as possible, my Bella. I'm 35 and ready to start my life." He says while nuzzling my neck.

"Really? You're 35?"

He chuckles and says yes.

"Wow." I say to him. "You don't look that old." I smirk at him.

"Oh really? Old, huh?" He asks while gently tickling me. I squeal and giggle and scream uncle to get him to stop torturing me.

"And how old are you, missy?"

"24."

It was his turn to look shocked.

"Really?" He asks me.

"Yes, is that going to be a problem, old man? Think you'll have a problem keeping up with me?" I counter.

He leans over and huskily says to me, "Oh, no, my little kitten. I'll have no problem keeping up with you. I just hope a little girl like you can handle the monster in me." He says as he licks my earlobe and bites gently.

"Oh, God." I say as goosebumps erupt all over my body. Heaven help me. What have I gotten myself into? I think to myself.

"I love you, my Edward." I say while leaning up to kiss him.

"As I do you, my love."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~TSS~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We finally touch down and my nerves start showing themselves. We turn our cell phones back on and I notice that I have a text from Alice telling me my dress is at the Chapel and that she loves me and to call her later.

I text her back thanking her and telling her I love her, too.

While I gather my things, I notice Edward whispering to Angela. My jealousy flares up a bit but I quash it temporarily.

Edward shortly joins me, kisses me and guides me off the jet and to an awaiting limo. A girl could get used to this luxury.

Edward assists me into the limo and pours us some champaign.

"To us." He says clinking his glass to mine.

"To an everlasting love." I say back.

He grins and takes a long sip of his champaign.

"Tell me who I am marrying, my Bella. What do you do for a living?"

"I write." I say simply.

"And...what do you write, my baby girl?" He asks while caressing my arm.

"Romance novels. I just published my first book, 'The Love of a Swan.' It is a love story based upon my parent's relationship. It made the top 20 best seller and very quickly. I have a book signing coming up in a month."

"So my Bella is successful and famous. Hmm, I like that very much."

"I don't know about the famous part, but I will concede to being labeled a success thanks to my editor and publisher, Jasper. He is actually dating my best friend, Alice."

"Ah, yes, the little dark haired pixie? Wait, Jasper...what is his last name?"

"Whitlock. Why?"

"I know Jasper, he's one of my close friends."

"Wow, what a small world. Without him, I would be nothing. He really is amazingly talented."

"Yes, he is a great guy but I have a feeling you would be quite successful on your own. I find you quite charming." He says and leans over for a kiss.

Before our kiss could get too heated, we arrive at our destination and are escorted into The Bellagio. It is quite beautiful to say the least.

Edward leads me to the Day Spa and Salon and walks up to the Reception Desk informing them we have an appointment under Cullen.

"Ah, yes, Mr. Cullen and Ms. Swan. It says here that you and your bride are to have a nice soaking bath and hair treatment and your bride is to have a mani/pedi and make-up treatment. Is that correct?" The nice lady asks.

"That is correct and we need it done in three hours. Will that be a problem?" Edward asks.

"No, sir, not at all. We have cleared our schedules and brought in only our best technicians. If you are both ready, I will take you to change into a robe and slippers and get started. I have been alerted that the Chapel is on standby and arranging the ceremony to your specifications."

"Good, very good." I just look at him with my eyebrows arched in question.

"Just because we are getting married spontaneously, does not mean I will skimp on accommodations, my Bella. Only the best for my bride." He says to me while leaning down to kiss my head.

"All of this is not necessary even though I appreciate the sweet thought, Edward. I am a simple girl."

"Nonsense, my future wife will have only the best from here on out. Get used to it, Bella. Now come, let us get pampered after that long flight." He takes hold of my hand while we are escorted to our changing quarters.

"Right this way, Mr. Cullen and Ms. Swan. You may get changed in this room and just lay your belongings on this shelf here. The door locks, so please attach this key to your wrist. Once you are ready, you may step outside the door and I will take you to your next destination." The Attendant, Candy, said then quietly exited the room.

This really was a very tranquil place. Nice instrumental music with water sounds was playing and the spa was very nicely scented. It was dimly lit and very relaxing.

We quickly undressed and Edward assisted me in my robe after gently kissing my shoulder. I put on the slippers, grabbed Edward's hand and we met Candy outside the room.

Candy lead us to another room with a very large floor level tub. It was filled with a white, creamy liquid, though, instead of water. I bit my lip and looked over at Candy for an explanation.

"This is our special bath treatment that we are famous for. It contains many oils, chamomile and other treatments to aide in healthy, soft skin. You will love it. It is nice and warm, too. Step on in and I will be back to give you a nice scrub that will make your skin glow. I will be back with something to drink for the two of you. What would you like?"

We both answered white wine and Candy exited with a nod to her head.

Edward and I disrobed and climbed into the tub.

Candy was right, this felt amazing and it smelled wonderful.

Edward and I sighed in pleasure and took in a nice lungful of air, relaxing even further. He grabbed my hand under the milk bath and we closed our eyes enjoying the peaceful, tranquility.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~TSS~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I must have dozed off because Candy and another lady returned dressed in some kind of neck to toe suit. Again, I quirked an eyebrow at her in confusion. She explained that they would be entering the tub with us to scrub our bodies.

Um. Okay. I thought, not too sure about that. Edward didn't seem surprised at all and I looked to him for comment.

"You will love this, my Bella. It is very rejuvenating." He says to me.

"Oh, okay." He just smirked at me.

Candy began scrubbing my arms and I just sunk down in pleasure and moaned a little. Edward looked over at me with an expression that said "I told you so."

The other Attendant, Lucy, took care of Edward. I was a bit concerned with the way she would be touching MY Edward but she was very professional. I took a sip of my wine and hummed in pleasure.

"Enjoying yourself, baby girl?"

"Like you have to ask. This is wonderful. We will have to do this on a regular basis. I have never been so pampered before."

"Like I said before, my Bella, get used to being spoiled. You will be treated like my princess because that is exactly what you are." I looked over at him and got teary eyed. He is just so sweet.

"I love you, Edward, and thank you for this."

"I love you, too, my Bella, and thank you for agreeing to marry me." he leaned over and kissed me.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~TSS~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We were done in an hour with our bodies and hair being thoroughly washed in that wonderful milky concoction and Candy and Lucy lead us to a nearby shower to rinse off. Once we toweled off, they lead us to two tables to lay on. They massaged a nice, warm honey -based oil to our skin and helped us into our robes and slippers once again. At this point, I felt like jello, I was so relaxed. I didn't even care that they saw us naked, not that they were actually looking at us anyway. I will have to write a thank you to management to let them know how professional and nice their staff was.

We were lead to our next destination, which was hair. Edward directed the stylist how he wanted my hair and then was lead to his own seat to get dried and styled.

Twenty minutes later, Edward was done and left me to get dressed. About ten minutes later, he came back dressed in a pair of designer jeans and white button down, long-sleeved dress shirt. He looked scrumptuous. Absolutely good enough to eat. He assessed my hair and gave an approving nod to the stylist, Ricky.

"You are looking good, baby girl. Now, I have a few errands to run and you will be escorted to the Chapel to finish getting ready once they are done with your beauty treatments. I love you, baby girl and I will see you soon. I have programmed my number into your phone, so call me if you need me, okay?" I nodded and he slipped the key thingie to my wrist and knealt down to my level.

"Okay, baby, I will see you soon. I love you very much." He kissed me and told them to take extra special care of me.

"We will Mr. Cullen. Don't worry, she is in good hands." The Stylist, Ricky, said to Edward.

He kissed me one last time and then was gone. My chest started aching and my eyes got misty.

"Hey, what's this? You'll see him very soon." Ricky said to me.

"I just miss him already. How crazy is that?"

"Understandable. How long have you two known each other?"

I snorted and said not very long. I proceeded to tell him how we met and when. Ricky was completely enraptured by our story.

"Girl, that would make one hell of a story. Someone should write a book about the two of you." Ricky said while fanning his face, misty-eyed as well.

He grabbed us some tissues and we finally got ourselves composed again.

"I think you're right. I think I have my next book to write." I stated mostly to myself but Ricky caught it.

"What do you mean, you're next book?"

"Oh, I'm a Romance Novelist." I said non-chalantly.

"Really? What have you written?"

"The Love of a Swan. You heard of it?"

Ricky looked at me like I grew another head.

"You wrote that book? It is absolutely my most favorite book, like ever. Girl, you really wrote that, you're I.M. Swan?"

"I did. I'm glad you liked it. It was based on my parent's relationship." He opened his drawer and took out my book. I just giggled.

"Like it...I love, love, love this book. I have already read it once and just had to start reading it again. It is so emotional and inspiring. I hope to find a romance such as theirs one day. Just a little more difficult with my sexual orientation, you know? What the hell am I talking about, you have found your Swan in that sexy ass man you are marrying. MMM, mmm, mmm, girl, you hit the jackpot with that one and a multi-trillionaire to boot? I am so hating you right now."

I looked at him, begging him to explain further. "M-multi-trillionaire? Are you fucking kidding me?" I just sank further in my seat, absolutely flabbergasted.

"Oh, honey, yes. That sex on legs is loaded. His whole damn family is dripping with money and what a gorgeous gene pool that family comes from. If only..." He fanned himself again and dramatically put the back of his hand to his forehead, acting like he was going to faint. I giggled at his antics. He was just too funny.

"I guess I will be meeting them soon."

"Mmm, what I wouldn't give to be a fly on the wall when that happens but they are going to love you darlin', you are just the sweetest little thang and drop dead gorgeous, too. If I swung your way, I would certainly give that hunk of burnin' love of yours some competition. Now, will you do me the honor of signing this little book of yours for me?"

"I would love to." I signed it "With all my thanks, love Isabella Swan Cullen," and placed a smiley face under my signature.

Ricky read it, giggled and kissed my cheek.

"Well, sweets, you are done. Take a look." He said and turned my chair around to look into the mirror.

What I saw staring back at me was beyond words. He did an intricate, french twist with long curls flowing down the sides of my face. I squealed and jumped out of the chair to hug him.

"You are a genius. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I think Edward will love it." We were bouncing up and down and rocking each other side to side.

"Alright, gorgeous, let me take you to have Mandy and Sadie start on your mani and pedi and I will start your make-up."

Ricky took me to my final destination and I was introduced to Mandy and Sadie who were just so very sweet. I told them I wanted a french manicure and pedicure and was offered another drink. I chose water this time thinking I've had enough alcohol.

My chair was reclined and Ricky placed a neck pillow behind me to keep my hair from being smushed. He turned the chair's massager on and I was in heaven. Ricky began a pre-treatment, then applied some very lightweight, mousse-type foundation while the ladies worked their magic on my nails and feet.

An hour later, I was done and shown the results after Ricky touched up my hair. I just couldn't believe how beautiful they made me.

I hugged the girls and Ricky took me to collect my personal belongings and escorted me over to the Chapel to get into my dress which was beautiful. Simple, yet classy. I certainly owed Alice big time.

Once I was dressed and my hair touched up once again, Ricky told me he would report to Edward that I was ready. I asked Ricky to stay for the ceremony and be a witness. You would have thought I told him Edward was actually gay and in love with him. He was so excited. He agreed, kissed both of my cheeks and skipped out of the room. I just laughed at his giddyness.

I looked in the mirror one last time and took several deep, cleansing breaths.

Ricky came back in a few minutes later and said that everything was setup and Edward was ready for me. I shivered a little and Ricky gave me a reassuring hug.

"You look magnificant, that gorgeous man-meat out there is beyond beautiful and you are ready. I think you are doing the right thing here, don't be nervous sweety."

I took one more last deep breath and said, "Okay, I'm ready. Let's do this."

"That's the spirit."

We walked out into the chapel, arm-in-arm and I was stunned. Everything was so beautiful. White gardenias surrounded the place and smelled wonderful. I spotted Edward and, Oh my God, did that man look incredible. He was in a very stylish tux and I was frozen to my spot, looking him up and down, ready to eat that man alive.

Edward looked up at my gasp and rushed over to me.

"My Bella, good Lord, you are breathtaking. What in God's name did I do to deserve you? You are definitely sent from Heaven just for me. I love you so much." He then grabbed my face gently and kissed me. My knees went weak and he wrapped his arms around me, holding me close.

I broke for some air and told him, "I love you, too, Edward, and you look so handsome." He smirked at me and placed one more kiss to my lips.

"I have a little something for you." He said and brought forth a large velvet box. He opened it and my breath caught in my throat. I was staring at the most beautiful diamond necklace, earring and bracelt set I have ever seen. It wasn't gaudy at all. Something I could wear with just about anything. Edward explained that the set was platinum and very delicate. He said the necklace had approximately 200 flawless, small cut diamonds so it wouldn't be too heavy, that the earrings were 1 carat each and the bracelet being a diamond, tennis bracelet. They were so beautiful and simple, something I would choose for myself.

"Oh, Edward, they are beautiful. Thank you."

"You are more than welcome, my Bella. You said you like simple. So, I took a chance that you would like these. Was I right?"

"Yes, my Edward, they are perfect and so bright. I most certainly would have chosen this set for myself. Well done and thank you again. I love you."

"I love you, too, my darling. Now, turn around so I can put the necklace on for you."

Once he clasped the necklace, he gave my neck a very sensual kiss. He then turned me around and assisted me with the bracelet, kissing my wrist once he fastened the bracelet. He put my earrings in for me and kissed each ear when he was done.

"Wow, they are so light. Thank you."

"Anything for you, sweetheart. Now, come over here. This nice gentleman has an assortment of rings for us to look at."

He lead me to an older gentleman and brought our attention to a tray full of stunning rings. They were all quite large and beautiful. I scanned them all but could not take my eyes off of one set in the center. Edward saw me eyeing the set and asked the gentleman to tell us about it.

He said it was a 3 carat, perfect clarity, square cut diamond in a platinum setting. It was simple, yet elegant. The matching band had about 20 small diamonds surrounding the band. I fell in love instantly. I tried them on and they were a perfect fit. I looked up to Edward with a huge smile on my face.

"Is this the one, my Bella?"

"Yes, I love it."

"Sold." Edward told the gentleman and then he took the matching grooms band that was very masculine and thick with diamonds scattered in an intricate design. Luckily, his fit as well.

Edward slid the rings off my finger, lowered himself on one knee, took my left hand and said, "My love, I know I have already asked and you have accepted, but with this ring, I ask you once again to marry me. Will you be mine forever?"

I was in tears and quietly answered yes. He kissed my hand and placed the engagement ring on my ring finger and gave it a kiss. He rose to his full height and thanked me for agreeing to marry him and kissed my lips.

I turned to Ricky and he wiped my eyes, reapplied my dark pink lip gloss and handed me my bouquet. It was lovely with its fresh gardenias and calla lillies all wrapped with a long white, satin bow.

I turned back to Edward and told him I was ready. I explained to him that I asked Ricky, my stylist, to stay and be our witness and asked if he was okay with that.

"Absolutely, my Bella. I told you before, you may have anything your heart desires." He then kissed me.

Edward and I walked arm-in-arm toward the officiant and said we were ready. We picked out the standard vows and 10 minutes later, we were pronounced husband and wife.

Edward and I kissed passionately until we heard clapping and the clicking of a camera. I blushed and gave Edward one last peck on the lips. We stayed long enough to get a few pictures taken and then said our goodbyes to everyone. They congratulated us and said they would mail our pictures to the address Edward gave them previously.

On our way out, I asked Edward if we were staying at the hotel.

"No, Mrs. Cullen. We are going to Fiji."

I just smiled and allowed him to guide us to our limo. To our future as husband and wife.

"I love you, Mr. Cullen."

"As I love you, Mrs. Cullen."

We kissed passionately the entire ride back to the jet.

I was so ready to start my future with this wonderful man.
