Hello everyone. Thanks for all the good thoughts on my finals. Survived the week and did well. The only downside was I had to have my 16 year old cat Dagmar euthanized after my last final Friday because of kidney failure. That added emotional stress to the week, and I didn't feel much like writing. To top it all off....I have the flu now.

Am I whining a little.....yes I am. Really hoping to feel better in the next day because I'm supposed to be at my sisters. But not driving 6 hours feeling like this.

Anyway, enough of my bitching. Here is long awaited 9, which is very lemony and shamwow worthy. I am really looking forward to hearing what you think of it.

Chapter 9

BPOV

The few days following my blow up, Edward balanced out his gentle touches with passionate, needy kisses that left me breathless. I was well enough now I insisted he go into the shop and work for a few hours. I wasn't in danger of falling or suddenly losing consciousness. My bruises had faded quite a bit. The less I could see them, the better I felt.

I had rescheduled all my appointments for the next two weeks so I could continue recovering. Alice and I had finally talked by phone. She was coming over to Edward's today. I knew it made him feel a little better if someone was here with me. Plus I wanted to find out what the hell was going on with her and Jasper. Edward said Jasper had a goofy smile on his face while he was at the shop yesterday.

There was a knock on the door. I checked the peephole just to be safe. Then I opened the door. Alice launched into me with an enormous hug. "Oh Bella!"

I patted her back. "Easy Alice. I'm okay."

Alice pulled back and looked at me. "I know but it could've…"

I held my hand up. "Stop. It didn't. And I have not allowed any what if bullshit around me. Okay?"

Alice nodded. She walked the rest of the way in. I saw her looking at all my fading injuries. "I'd like to castrate him, with a spoon." Her voice dripped with animosity.

"A spoon? Why a spoon?"

Alice gave me an evil grin. "Like in Robin Hood, where the Sheriff of Nottingham wanted to cut his heart out with a spoon. It'll hurt more."

"Well if you can even locate his dick to cut it off, more power to you." We sat down facing each other on the couch. Alice glanced around the room, smiling every time her eyes spotted one of my photos.

"He has a nice place Bella." I nodded. "Is this getting serious?" She whispered the last part like there was someone who might overhear us.

"More serious than I ever thought it would." I gave her a little smile while I played with the hem on my shorts.

Alice peered at me. "You really like him. In fact you more than like him don't you?" I nodded again. "Do you love him?"

I paused and took a breath. I had not been allowing myself to think about where my feelings for Edward had ended up. Carefully I had ignored that side of my emotions. But it was getting harder to do. "I think so. Actually I know so."

Alice squealed and clapped her hands. She bounced on the couch and almost fell off. I waited until I had her attention again before I continued.

"I've never felt this way about anyone before Alice. The power of it both amazes me and intimidates the shit out of me."

Alice templed her fingers under her chin as she mulled over what I said. "Just take it one day at a time Bella. You will both find your way. Do you know how he feels?"

I thought about it. "Well he hasn't told me he loves me. But he did tell me I am his life now."

"Same idea." I gaped at Alice. "Well it is Bella. Are you blind? He may not be ready to actually say the three words. Or maybe he thinks you aren't ready to hear them. Don't you realized what Edward was really saying when he told you that? He loves you."

I thought about that day in the bathtub, and how Edward had been so worried telling me that would freak me out. Other things he had said to me flitted through my mind. They were all cryptic versions of I love you. Suddenly all the pieces fell into place. "You're right Alice."

Alice gave me an all knowing smile. I tossed the realization around in my head. In love? Me? Holy shit. It was a heady feeling. I needed more time to think over all of this. Time to process it.

"What's the story with Jasper Alice? Who I will be indebted to for the rest of my life." I needed to change the subject, and focus on something else for the moment.

For the briefest moment Alice looked down and actually appeared shy. "Things are good."

"Have you gone for a ride yet?"

Alice's head shot up and her cheeks turned bright red. "Excuse me?"

I realized how she had interpreted my question and started laughing. "On Jasper's motorcycle gutter brain? Has he taken you out on his Harley?"

Alice giggled. "Oh yes. A couple times. I liked it."

"Any other types of rides yet?" I arched my eyebrow at her.

"No, not yet. Lots of kissing though." Alice gave a melodramatic smile and clutched at her heart. "Oh….my….God."

"I know that feeling." We both started giggling. My cell rang, it was Edward.

"Hey Edward." I tried to stifle the laughter but I was failing miserably. Alice laughed more the harder I tried. It was not helpful.

"Well I can tell Alice is there and clearly you are having a good time." Edward's voice was amused.

"Yep. What's up?"

"Just wanted to know if you want me to bring home a movie for tonight?"

"Sure, that sounds good." Alice had gotten up and was wandering around the living room.

"You want any kind of movie in particular?"

"Not really. Just not blood, guts, lots of violence type movie. Otherwise whatever looks good."

"Well that makes it pretty easy, I can do that."

"I could make it tougher." I laughed for a second.

"And how is that baby?"

"I should make you get a chick flick."

Edward groaned. "I'll bring home something good. Go back to having fun with Alice. I'll see you later baby."

"Bye.".

Alice walked over and stared at my feet. "You know what you need Bella? It will make you feel girly, which I think is always a good thing."

"A pedicure?" I knew her so well.

"Absolutely. Can I take you out to get one?"

"Sure. I've been out on a few errands with Edward and did fine." I texted Edward to let him know where we were going. His text back made me smile.

Getting sexy toes to tempt me with huh? Be careful. (you know I have to say that) and have fun!

I changed and we headed out. There was a place down the street so we took a slow stroll. It was nice to get out into the fresh air, even if it was chilly. Once we got there we decided to do the whole manicure and pedicure package. I picked out an iridescent deep ruby red. Alice chose a gorgeous deep pink." We sat there and talked a little more about her budding relationship with Jasper.

"I just feel like I know him Bella. Like maybe we knew each other in a former life or something. I can talk to him about anything. The first night he came over we stayed up talking until almost three am."

"That's great Alice." I was so glad things between them were off to a good start. Somehow they seemed like the perfect match to me.

"When are you coming back to the studio? I had your locks changed just in case. Remind me to give you the key."

"Thanks Alice. Probably in a couple weeks."

Alice paused thinking over whatever she was going to say next. "Does it bother you to come back to where the attack happened?"

I hadn't thought of that. "I'm not sure. I haven't been thinking about things like that."

Alice gave me an understanding look. "You might want to though. If you want to move your studio, I would understand. We have that other empty space at the very end of the building."

"I'll think about it. Moving is just so much work though."

Alice shook her head at me. "You know we'd all help Bella."

"I'll let you know." The thought of going back there did make my stomach clench. I would definitely ask Edward to come with me the first time.

We walked back to Edward's. I got my new studio key and Alice hugged me tight. She gave me an excited smile because she was headed home to wait for Jasper. Apparently he had been coming over almost every night after work.

I put on a pair of yoga pants and a tank top. Edward would be home soon. I was curious what movie he would bring home. I parked on the couch reading a book. It was nice to be able to read again. I wasn't able to read for long periods of time, but at least I could.

The sound of a key in the lock made me look up. Edward sauntered in and smiled when he spotted me. He held up a couple bags.

"Ooh. Burgermaster. How did you know I wanted French fries?" I got up to go help him. "What movie did you get?"

"Well I had trouble choosing. The guy at the rental place said The Proposal was funny, and not too much of a chick flick." He rolled his eyes. "And I brought a couple more movies I know you will like if you want something to watch tomorrow while I'm at work."

"Really? Thank you. What did you get? Let me see." I reached for the bag and Edward lifted it up out of my reach.

"What do you say?"

I giggled, remembering when I had said that to him. "Let me fucking see it."

"Better." Edward handed me the bag. Inside was Pride and Prejudice along with Sense and Sensibility.

"These are perfect. Are you psychic or something and forgot to tell me?"

"No, I've seen you reading the books. You've probably seen them, but I figured you would like them enough to watch them again." He shrugged as he unpacked the food.

"I have but I love them." I set the bag down and wrapped my arms around him. "Thank you so much."

Edward leaned down and kissed me. Then he gave my butt a light spank. "You're welcome."

As I sat eating my burger, watching Edward set up the DVD, I realized how many of the little details he noticed. I wondered what else he had picked up on. I knew I was always absorbing little things about Edward.

We started the movie. Edward would lean over occasionally and feed me one of his French fries. He kept laughing when I would growl at him if he teased me with it, keeping it out of reach. I beaned him in the temple with a napkin when he wasn't looking. Edward swiftly turned towards me and I pretended to be eating one of my fries innocently. He paused the DVD. "Swan…."

I smiled at him. "Cullen…." I tossed another napkin and Edward hit it quickly back to me. My reflexes were just as good and I sent it back towards him. This time it bounced off the top of his head and fell behind him.

I put my arms in the air. "I win." Edward chuckled at my enthusiasm and restarted the DVD.

Once we were both done eating Edward spread his legs and patted between them. I smiled and scooted back against him. As we watched the movie Edward gently massaged the back of my neck and shoulders. I closed my eyes for a moment and enjoyed the feeling of his fingers on my flesh. Eventually he slid his hands down around my waist, snuggling me up against his chest.

I loved the movie. I loved feeling Edward laugh behind me. I loved hearing the sound of it. It was just nice to return to the carefree and easy feeling that we usually had. When the DVD ended I asked him. "Well, was the movie store guy right?"

"He was. That was really funny. I enjoyed it." Edward leaned down and kissed the back of my neck.

"Me too." Edward's lips were still moving over the nape of my neck. "Do you remember when you asked me if I'd ever wanted a tattoo?"

"Mmm hmm." Edward's fingers were stroking tiny circles on my sides under the edge of my shirt. "Do you want one?"

"Yes." I closed my eyes as his fingers made larger circles.

"Do you know what you want?" I felt his tongue flick out and I shivered.

"Yes. Well at least a basic idea. I was kind of hoping you would help me with designing it." Edward's lips froze on my shoulder and I held my breath.

Edward reached up and turned my chin back towards him so we were eye to eye. "Seriously?"

I nodded. I couldn't read Edward's expression. I wasn't sure how he was taking the idea. If this part bothered him, then he wasn't going to like the design idea. His eyes were searching mine. Finally I sighed. "You don't have to." I started to look away and get up but Edward pulled me back down. Twisting me he arranged me so I was sitting across his lap.

"No I want to. You just surprised me." Edward gave me his crooked smile. "What's your idea?"

Now I was wishing I hadn't brought this up. I was terrified this would send him running for the hills. I recalled our bathtub conversation again. "Edward, do you remember what you told me in the bathtub a while back."

Edward looked a little confused. "Yeah."

"Do you recall what you told me before, that you didn't want to freak me out?" Edward just nodded. I took a breath. "I'm afraid I'm going to freak you out." I looked down a moment and then looked back up through my lashes at him.

"Bella do you remember what your reply was to me back in the bathtub?"

"Yes."

"You aren't going to scare me off." Edward wrapped his arms around me. "I know what it's like to be worried I might lose you, and it tore me apart." He tilted his head and watched me, waiting patiently. Then he softly started singing. "

"Well it's a design based around a single capital letter. Maybe some vines or swirls coming off it. Nothing flowery but still feminine and distinct."

Edward arched an eyebrow at me and smiled. "What letter Bella?"

"An E." I whispered.

Edward suppressed a smile. "I see. Where do you want this tattoo on you?"

I rubbed the nape of my neck. "Right here."

Edward's smile was sneaking through more. "Why there?"

I blushed a little. "Because I consider that your spot. You love my neck. You always kiss me there." Edward was stroking his fingers over the small of my back. I took my hands and put them flat on his chest. My ruby nails contrasting with his black shirt "I'm yours. I just want to show it." My voice shook just a little at the end.

We stared at each other for a few minutes. Finally Edward broke out with a huge smile. "Okay."

"Okay?" I bit my lip.

"On one condition." Edward had something up his sleeve.

"What's the condition?" I felt a smile creep across my face. I hadn't scared him off.

"That you let me get a tattoo of a B somewhere." Edward's eyes were glued to my face for my reaction.

I was, well, speechless. My heart started to beat a little faster in my chest. "I think that would be…….I think I would really love that."

Edward slid his hands up under the back of my shirt. "Good. Because I really love your tattoo idea." He brought his lips to mine and I moaned the moment we connected. Edward's hands gripped me tighter. His tongue traced over my lower lip.

I pulled back reluctantly, panting. "Edward, please. I need you completely, tonight. Please tell me you're not going to stop."

Edward's eyes darkened. I saw desire fill their green depths. "I'm not going to stop. I need to be as close to you as I can. I can't wait anymore."

I stood up and offered Edward my hand. He took it with a grin as I led him back to the bedroom. I started to take my top off but Edward stopped me. "I want to do it." My hands fell to my sides. Edward pulled one strap to the side and kissed my shoulder. Then he moved the other strap and kissed my other shoulder. He slid his mouth over my collarbone to the center and kissed the hollow of my throat.

Heat was already flowing through my body. Edward turned me around. I felt his finger trace over the back of my neck. "Right here?"

"Yes, there."

Edward kissed the spot and then flicked it with his tongue. I moaned again. "Definitely my spot. One of my favorites right from our first night together. You remember that first night don't you?" Edward's voice was low with arousal in my ear.

"How could I forget?" That was impossible. It was seared permanently into my brain.

Edward's lips worked their way around to the side of my neck. "Are you still glad you didn't play it safe?"

I turned so I could look at him. Running my hands up under his shirt I smiled and winked at him. "Best decision in my life."

"I would have to agree." Reaching down Edward pulled my tank top off. His fingertips traced down from my shoulders, following the curve of my breasts. I tugged on his shirt and he removed it. Then Edward's lips were on mine. He pulled me to him so that our chests were pressed together. I lifted my thigh and pressed it into the bulge straining the denim of his jeans. Edward groaned and his tongue tangled with mine. He shifted so that I was not only massaging him, but now I was astride his thigh more. My fingers gripped his waistband as I rubbed myself on him. The friction felt so good I moved harder against his leg.

Edward moved backwards pulling me with him onto the bed. He bent his knee so that his thigh was in closer contact under me. Our hips were moving together slowly. Our need building as we ground into one another. The only sound in the room was our raspy breathing interspersed with moans. Edward slid his hands down and gripped my ass, deliberately slowing my movement. Dragging out each roll of my hips against him.

Edward rolled so I was on my back now. He stared down at me. I felt like he was peering into my soul, and in return I could see his. The other emotion I saw there took my breath away. It was love. I started to say something but Edward put his fingers over my lips. He looked like he was searching for the right words. "Bella…" He paused again and just stared longingly at me.

I took his hand and kissed each finger. "I know." I had a feeling Edward wanted to tell me about what I was seeing in his eyes. The same thing I hoped he saw in mine. "Edward, I know." I smiled up at him. "Do you know?"

Edward smiled back, understanding my meaning. "Yes baby, I do know."

"Then make love to me." I reached around and stoked the contours of his back slowly.

"Only if you are going to make love to me." Edward's voice was husky as he leaned in, caressing my lips with his.

"Absolutely." My head turned as Edward's lips worked their way down my neck. Lazily he started palming my breasts, rolling my nipples between his fingers. I pressed into his hands, silently asking for more. Suddenly his heated mouth replaced his hands and I gasped. Edward's tongue slowly traced around one nipple then the other. He alternated kissing and sucking every inch of my breasts. I was rubbing slowly against his thigh again. Occasionally I would arch up and writhe into him, earning a groan from Edward.

Edward's mouth traveled down the center of my body, leaving a trail of fire in its wake. Taking his time he pulled my yoga pants down. Once they were off his hands started stroking up and down my thighs. Gently he picked up one foot and looked at my painted toes. "Nice color choice." His voice was husky as he kissed the inside of my ankle before setting my foot down.

I sat up and unbuttoned his jeans. When they were unfastened Edward stepped off the bed to shed them. My eyes traced over his body, looking at every inch as if I hadn't seen him before.

Edward climbed back up on the bed, sat, and guided me into his lap. I circled my legs around him. His erection was pressed into my belly, trapped in between us. I squirmed a little against it. Edward's breath left him in a rush. He brushed my hair back over my shoulders. "You're so beautiful." His fingers started wandering over my skin randomly. Dragging my fingers over his chest, I smiled at the feel of his muscles and chest hair. I stroked my thumbs over his nipples. Edward's eyes fell closed. "God the things your touch does to me Bella."

I ran my tongue up the outside of his ear. "That feeling is mutual. I need you inside me Edward, now."

Edward shifted beneath me and lifted my hips away from him. I reached down and covered his erection with my fingers, feeling it twitch at my touch. Our eyes were locked as I took him inside me, sliding down very slowly. Once I was completely surrounding him we both stayed still, just gazing into each other eyes.

My hands move to grasp Edward's shoulders as my legs tightened around him. Edward was running his fingers over my back. Finally he settled them at my hips, his long fingers wrapping around me. I licked my lower lip and then bit it, knowing exactly what it did to him. There was another flash of arousal in Edward's emerald eyes and I felt him grow even harder within me.

I rolled my hips slowly against his once. "How can you possibly be getting harder?" I clenched down on him with my internal muscles. Edward moaned and pushed up into me slightly.

"Do that again baby." Edward's eyes closed and his mouth fell open slightly. I tightened again and Edward whispered. "Shit that feels incredible."

I started rocking against him slowly. Our eyes met again as I ground down into him. Feeling him that deep within sent a wave of pleasure through my body and I tipped my head back with a moan. Edward's fingers gripped me tighter when he heard me. I slid one leg behind me and then the other so that I was kneeling. Using his shoulders as leverage I started moving up and down along him. I paused at the top, with only the head of Edward's cock left in me. I clamped my muscles around him and Edward growled. "Jesus woman." I smiled at him as I slid back down.

Edward grasped my thighs and helped me continue working myself on him. Our lips met and I was panting against him as our kiss grew more fervent. Edward stopped me when I came down and held me there. I whimpered as he brought one hand in front and brushed his thumb over my clit. A shock of electricity traveled through my entire body.

Laying back Edward gazed up at me like I was the most exquisite thing he'd ever seen. I actually blushed when I saw how he was looking at me. Edward's other hand slid up my back until it was wrapped around the back of my neck. "Come down here." He pulled gently against me. I lowered myself so my breasts were pressed up against the hard lines of his chest again. Leaning on my elbows, I ran my fingers through his hair slowly.

Edward brought my lips an inch from his. My hair fell around us. I tried to move it out of the way but Edward whispered "Leave it. I like it. Makes me feel even more like we are in our own world."

I kissed his lower lip. "We are." Tenderly I took it between my teeth and pulled it, before I released it with another kiss. "This is all that matters."

"Yes it is." Edward's lips sought me out, his fingers threading up into my hair. His mouth devoured mine, and I moaned at the sensation of complete connection. Edward's tongue invited mine into a sensual entanglement. His thrusts started so slow I didn't notice at first. My attention was on the way Edward was kissing me. It was like he couldn't get enough. When he shifted and bent his knees the angle changed. He drove once harder into me and my cry of pleasure was swallowed by his mouth. I broke the kiss when he repeated the motion. "Oh my God."

"Baby…." Edward's lips attacked my neck, his teeth grazing me occasionally. My forehead fell to his shoulder as he licked over my pulse point. My hands were still in his hair. Edward's hips rocked harder into mine. I clenched at his hair a bit, earning a groan and a more forceful thrust.

"Edward." My moan was directly into his ear as I could hear him breathing heavy in mine. Edward's hands were moving down my back, his thumbs brushing over the sides of my breasts.

"I love you moaning my name." His fingers caressed lightly over my ass before they gripped my flesh there.

I turned my head so I could suck his earlobe for a second. My voice was low as I repeated in his ear. "Mmmm, oh Edward." I moved so I was looking down on him again. Our eyes locked and he shoved harder into me and held still. I writhed back against him with another moan. Edward stayed motionless. I could feel him throbbing within me and it was driving me mad. "Oh God, I can feel it, please……"

Edward pushed up so he was sitting and I wrapped my legs back around him. Huskily he asked. "Feel what baby?" I pressed down on him, inviting him to move but he stayed immobile. Edward brought his lips next to my ear. "Tell me what you feel?" How could one man's voice make everything sensual?

"I feel you." I gasped. Edward shifted his hips under me and I leaned on his shoulder again.

"More?"

"Please." I begged. Everything in me was starting to tighten and burn. The sensation was so intense.

"Then keep talking……"

Blackmail. I didn't care. I'd read the phone book out loud if it would make him start moving again. "Your cock, it's pulsing in me, you're so hard." Edward slowly started thrusting again. I rocked against him, my fingers gripping his waist.

"Tell me Bella…." Edward's voice was deep in my ear. I felt his teeth and tongue playing on the side of my neck.

"I love being this close…….Edward……to you." Suddenly I was on my back and Edward was leaning over me. He paused long enough to pull my hands off his back and entwine them with his over my head.

"Close enough?" His hands were hot against mine, as our legs entrapped each other.

"No."

Edward pressed all the way down onto me. Our faces inches apart as he started pushing into me again. "Close enough?"

"No such thing as enough." My eyes fell closed as I arched up into Edward, meeting his every thrust.

"Bella, open your eyes." I did and saw the love there again. "I know."

"I know too Edward." As his name fell from my lips I clenched my fingers into the back of his hands. "So…..close." Our bodies moved in rhythm, eyes locked on one another. Edward's forehead wrinkled a little as he moaned above me. Fuck that was sexy.

"Baby, I need to see you come. I need to hear you come." Edward's words were mixed with harsh breaths and low guttural sounds. Hearing all of it combined cut away the last shred of whatever was holding me together.

"Edward, shit…..I'm…..holy fuck." My whole body bowed upwards into Edward's as my orgasm tore through every inch of me. My eyes closed briefly but opened back to see Edward watching me with awe. I pulled against his hands, as I rode out the waves of ecstasy.

Edward groaned and bit his lower lip. Okay now I saw why he liked that when I did it. I lifted my head and licked the line where his teeth met his lip, my eyes on his the whole time. I fell back and arched into him whispering. "Edward….come…..now."

"Oh…….Bella." Edward's whole body stiffened as he climaxed. He drove hard into me and watched as his eyes glassed over for a moment. "Bella…..baby." Edward's body came down onto mine as the final pulses of pleasure went through him. I heard him whisper in my ear again. "My Bella."

Edward started to shift off of me but I clamped down with my legs. "Stay here, please." He relaxed back onto me, gently letting go of my hands. I wrapped my arms around his waist as an extra measure to keep him there.

Edward chuckled breathlessly in my ear. "I won't get up until you tell me to, okay."

"Okay." I kissed this side of his neck. Edward turned so he could look at me. His hand came down to stroke the side of my face. Brushing my hair back he smiled at me.

"How are you doing beautiful?"

"Incredibly well…..you?" I smiled back and rubbed one foot up and down his leg.

"No words could describe."

We were quiet for a few moments. Edward's voice was soft when he said. "I've never done that before." I was confused by that statement.

"Never done what before?" I stared at him. Edward touched my face again, running one finger over my cheek and across my lower lip.

"Made love." He gave me a little bit of a sheepish smile.

"Me neither, except I think we've been working on it a little all the time."

"I think you are right." His finger was still brushing over my lower lip and I kissed it. After several more moments I acquiesced to rolling on our sides. Made it easier for me to snuggle up to him anyway. I felt him kiss the top of my head as he rubbed my back.

"I still haven't come up with a nickname for you Edward." I kissed the center of his Celtic tattoo.

"I had a thought on that." He leaned back so he could see me.

"Oh really? And what is that."

Edward snugged his arms around me. "You can call me anything you want, within reason."

I raised an eyebrow at him. "What brought this on?"

Shrugging he smiled. "I decided that as long as it's your voice I hear saying it, that's all that matters to me." He kissed my forehead. "Does that make any sense at all?"

I smiled and nodded. "Completely."

EPOV

Tonight had been one of the most monumental ever in my life, in so many ways. First had been Bella and her tattoo. The instant she told me it was supposed to be an E, I knew. That was her way of telling me she loved me. Neither one of us had actually said it yet, but we both acknowledged it was there. I was so awestruck she wanted me to design it. The final straw was when Bella told me where she wanted to put it and why. My heart swelled in my chest, and well, so did my dick in my jeans.

Bella was as equally accepting of my tattooing her first initial on me somewhere. Her brown eyes had shown bright when I gave her my condition. As we kissed I knew that there was no stopping tonight. The need between the two of us had hit a breaking point.

Tonight we had made love. It wasn't just sex, it wasn't just fucking, it was everything. Another first for me. Bella looked in my eyes and told me she knew. She knew I loved her. I could see love in her eyes and it took my breath away. For now that was enough. Just verbally telling each other we knew was a huge step.

Bella was cuddled up into me. I heard her giggle into my chest. "What?"

Bella looked up and she had a very naughty smile on her face. "I just wanted to say I love making love with you." She stroked on finger down my chest. "But tomorrow will you fuck me too?"

I growled at her and pinned her down to the bed with my body. "If I didn't know you needed the rest, I'd fuck you right now." Bella grinned up at me. "Don't worry, I will make love to you, and fuck you, and sometimes maybe both at the same time." I kissed the end of her nose and rolled us back onto our sides.

Bella climbed off the bed and I watched her naked form disappear into the bathroom. I stretched on the bed and sighed. I was one lucky man, in so many ways.

Bella was the first to fall asleep, her limbs wrapped around me. I watched her breathing, slow and even. I took my thumb and ran it over her cheek. In her sleep Bella smiled a little and sighed. "Love you baby." I whispered before I closed my eyes and sleep claimed me too.

The morning light and Bella moving restlessly next to me woke me up. I glanced over to see her roll and throw one arm back above her head. She whimpered in her sleep and frowned. Whatever she was dreaming of didn't look very pleasant.

Bella's head tossed against the pillow and she kicked one leg out from under the blanket. "No. No." She mumbled. "Edward…..where's Edward?"

I moved over and wrapped an arm around her. In her sleep Bella grabbed onto it tightly and rolled towards me. "Edward…."

"I'm right here." I pulled her tighter to me, feeling the tension in the lines of her body.

"Have to…." Bella slid one leg between mine. I pulled the comforter up more around the both of us. Her breathing sped up for a moment and I watched her facial expression become worried.

"Have to what baby?" I rubbed her back slowly. If she didn't move on from whatever was distressing her I was going to wake her up.

"No I can't……can't……I need him." Bella's body was still restless and stiff against mine.

I kissed her forehead. "Bella, it's okay." The moment my lips made contact with her skin her body relaxed against mine. Her grip on my arm lightened.

"Needs me too." Bella sighed and a little smile crossed her face. "Edward…."

I brushed my lips over hers. "Yes I do." Bella tucked her head under my chin and snuggled into me. Her dream over, the talking stopped and her breathing slowed. I watched her carefully as she slept to make sure it was truly finished. There was still uncertainty somewhere in Bella. Subconsciously she seemed to still fear I would leave. Time would fix that.

As Bella's warm naked body pressed tighter to mine, I took a breath myself. What were we going to do today? Besides the obvious. I wondered if Bella would want to go out or stay in. I buried my nose in Bella's hair and took another deep breath of her scent. There was a murmur below my chin.

"Stop sniffing my hair so loud."

I laughed at the grumpy tone to her voice. When I laughed Bella groaned and shoved at me with little effect. Instead I slid my nose down the side of her head right above her ear, and inhaled loudly. There was another grumble from Bella. I started making snuffling sounds over her ear and down her neck.

"Edward!" Bella's tone was annoyed, but at the same time she was trying not to giggle. I hit just the right spot on her neck and Bella writhed away from me when my stubble tickled her.

"Come back here…..I'm not done."

` Bella was staring at me, a little grin on her face, her hair tousled around her head. "Oh you are so done." I made a move to grab her and was rewarded with a pillow smacking my head.

I gasped and sat up feigning shock. "You hit me with a pillow?"

Bella held the pillow up in front of her naked body like a shield. "Yes, what are you going to do about it sweetheart?" Hmm. I saw an opportunity here for a developing a bit of sexual tension. This could be fun.

I got up off the bed, feeling Bella's eyes on me as I walked naked to the bathroom. "Wouldn't you like to know?" I winked at her and went to brush my teeth. Within ten seconds Bella was in the doorway staring at me.

"So tell me." Bella smiled at me.

"Nope." I grinned at her with my toothbrush hanging out of my mouth. Bella growled at me.

"Cullen you are such a pain sometimes." She spanked my butt and disappeared to get dressed. When I came back in the bedroom Bella was standing there just in a pair of aqua lace panties. Looking over her shoulder at me she raised an eyebrow at me. "I'll bet you don't even have anything thought up. You're just bluffing."

I moved over and stood behind her. I got as close as I could to her without actually touching her. Just that had goose bumps breaking out on Bella's arms. "Trust me." I whispered against the back of her neck. "I have a very detailed plan." I ran one finger down her spine and then headed for the closet. As I walked away I heard Bella exhale shakily. I wondered how long she would last if I kept this up.

In the kitchen Bella sat at the table, her eyes warily watching me. "What do you want to do today baby? You want to go somewhere or stay in?"

Bella started braiding her hair as she thought about it. "Maybe we could go out for a little bit, go do something."

"How would you feel about going and wandering the Pike Place Market today? I haven't been there in a while."

"Perfect." Bella took her coffee from me and I sat next to her. I took one foot and rubbed it casually on her denim covered calf. Bella eyed me over her mug but didn't say anything.

She disappeared into the bedroom to grab her cell phone before we left. Once we were on the bike and she was pressed up behind me, I could tell something felt different than usual. Through my leather jacket I wasn't sure what it was exactly. We crossed Lake Washington and I thought back to the last time we had been on this bridge, the night we met. Bella must've been thinking something similar because she squeezed me around my waist.

We parked near the market and I took her hand in mine as we walked. That was something else I was discovering I liked. I really liked holding Bella's hand when we strolled around. Even in the grocery store. I shook my head to myself.

Our first stop was at the fish stand famous for the fish tossing. Bella grinned because she knew I was thinking of her photo. There was this really ugly fish on display with a sign. Bella walked over to get a good look at it. The guy behind the counter gave me a little nod and that's when I saw the fishing line. It was attached to the fish's mouth. Bella hadn't noticed it. I stood behind her knowing what was about to happen. When she reached like she was going to touch it, the man pulled the string and the mouth flew open. Bella shrieked and fell backwards into me. People surrounding us chuckled. Bella turned and glared at me because I was laughing too.

"Did you know that was going to happen?" I shrugged at Bella. She narrowed her eyes at me. "Just for that…." Bella opened my jacket and pressed her breasts against me. "I'll tell you I'm not wearing a bra." She whispered up at me. Quickly she closed my coat and took my hand again. I focused on trying to ignore the rush of lust that ran through me. That was what had felt different earlier on the bike.

I leaned down and whispered in her ear. "Well I'm not wearing any underwear." I grinned when I saw her bite her lower lip for a second. We wandered down the rows of booths, stopping here and there when things caught our eyes. It was fun to see what drew Bella in. I was learning more about her every moment.

For instance, she had a love of old fashioned things. That didn't really surprise me completely. A huge smile came across Bella's face when she spotted a stack of old LIFE magazines. She squatted down and flipped through one. I bent over and asked. "What do you like about those?"

Bella smiled up at me over her shoulder. "Mainly the advertisements. The change between then and now. The ones from the World War II era are great. It's like taking a step back in time."

I nodded, watching her turn the pages. "Can you imagine dressing like that though, all the time? No yoga pants or tank tops to lounge in. Skirts and whatever they wore under them to make them poof out."

"Petticoats. I suppose back then they didn't have a comparison like I would now. It does look like a lot more hassle. Ugh, nylons all the time. But I think some of it would be fun to try on." She looked back at me. "You would probably still be the bad boy though. I can't see you in a suit and tie every day." Bella put the magazine back and stood up.

I nodded. "Probably. I would be the guy that all the girls mother's warned them to stay away from. The one that had fathers polishing their shotguns."

Bella laughed hard at that. "Well I wouldn't have listened to my parents. I would've sought you out like a moth to a flame."

I took her hand and kissed it. "And I would've made sure you did." Bella paused to look at some earrings. I snuck over to the many flower stand and bought her a large orange daisy type flower. She was still busy perusing over at the earring stand. I walked up behind her and put the daisy in front of her.

"Oh how pretty." Bella turned around with the radiant smile I loved.

"Well I'm appealing to your old fashioned girl side. I think back then I would've brought you a flower like this." Bella took the flower and stood on her tiptoes to kiss me.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome." Our fingers twined together as we headed into the lower part of the market. We spent some time in a store with lots of old prints and posters. Not surprisingly, Bella and I had very similar taste in art. I enjoyed just peering over her shoulder as she perused through the selections.

"See I like this one. It's like the old pin up girls." Bella leaned back against me. It was a stylized print of a woman draped in a martini glass in a bright red bra and panty set that was very pin up girl style.

"That is very cool. You really do have a love for old fashioned things don't you?"

"Some, certain eras I guess. Not really after the sixties." She flipped a few more. "See then my really girly side likes this." It was a print of a painting of a woman and man walking, probably early twentieth century style dress.

I kissed her cheek. "That is why I think you are so amazing. You are very eclectic in what you like."

Bella flipped through a few more and I made her stop at a black and white photo print. It was a woman, nude, only the curve of her back and neck visible. There was a man's hand on her hip as if he was behind her taking the picture. "Now that one I like."

Bella tilted her head and studied it. "I do to. I like that….there's a submission and dominance. Depending on how you look at it though, they could both play either part."

I looked at it again and saw what she meant. At first glance it seemed the man was in control. But then again, what if the woman was pulling him as she rolled over. Then she was the dominant one. Damn Bella had an intuitive eye.

"I see that too, now that you point it out."

Bella pointed to the man's hand, which was relaxed on the woman's hip. "Now, if he was gripping her, then that would shift control to him, as if he was pulling her back."

"Okay then. How would you change it to make it look more like the woman was in control?"

Bella thought for a moment. She even closed her eyes as she pictured it in her head. "I would have the woman grabbing him by the wrist, as if she is pulling him onto her back. His hand would not be on her. I might also change the angle so that you can see just enough of her chin to tell she is looking back at him. Then it's clear she knows what she is doing."

"You are so insightful it is scary Bella." Hearing Bella talk about submission and dominance had an effect on me that really I should've predicted. Apparently Bella had noticed it to because she pressed back into me lightly.

"Did my insightfulness do that?" She turned around and wrapped her arms around my waist.

"In part. Plus just hearing you talk about submission and dominance appeals to my baser side."

Bella arched an eyebrow at me. "Hmm. Good to know. Now can we keep walking or do you need a minute?"

"We can walk." I leaned down and whispered in her ear. "Unless you want me to find someplace quiet and you can show me your dominant side."

Bella shivered and gave me a sidelong glance. She was carrying her coat now, which gave me a very nice view of Bella's breasts. Without the bra I saw the physical reaction she had to what I had said. Time to push it a little further.

I assumed a more conversational tone, but there was no one around us. "You know Bella, as hard as your nipples are right now, I'll bet you are getting pretty wet aren't you?"

There was a brief pause in Bella's step as what I had said registered. Just as casually she responded. "Well, I would imagine you are right. But I was wet for you before we left the house Romeo."

"It's Romeo now? What happened to sweetheart?"

"Depends on my mood." Bella licked her lips. "Right now I should just actually call you a tease."

We wandered back up the stairs to street level. "No, because a tease doesn't plan on following through. You know that isn't the case with me." I pulled Bella back into a little alcove and pressed her into the wall. Her eyes got big and she gasped when I leaned into her.

I kissed the side of her neck and felt her fingers grasp my shirt. "Remember, I promised you I was going to fuck you today." I slid my lips up her jaw and hovered right over her mouth. Bella was breathing faster.

"Yes I remember." Bella's eyes were locked with mine.

"Good." I crushed my lips into hers and Bella responded with equal force. I heard her whimper as she tried to pull me closer, her hands now pulling on my jacket. I reached up and grasped one of her breasts and Bella arched towards me.

As suddenly as I started it, I let go and released her. Bella stood there staring at me for a moment, panting as she leaned against the wall.

"Ready for lunch baby?" I ran my hand through my hair and gave Bella the crooked smile she loved.

"Yes Satan."

I chuckled. "I'm sensing a mood change."

Bella took my hand as we walked out of the little hidden corner. "You could say that."

We hopped on the bike and headed for Ivar's Seafood on Pier 54. For once the sun was trying to sneak out so we decided to sit outside. The breeze off the water was a little cold, but the seagull entertainment made up for it. They were some of the fattest I had ever seen. Clearly their snacking on French fries added to their caloric intake. Bold, they would come right up and take a fry from your hand. The other gulls would stay back and jockey for who got to go next. There was a definite hierarchy.

I was enjoying watching Bella feed them. The wind was blowing and swirling her hair around her face. She kept laughing as the gulls almost started wrestling in front of her, or trying to steal fries from one another. Bella pulled her hair off her face for the hundredth time and grinned over at me. The breeze had given her cheeks a lovely pink glow.

After we ate we walked to the edge of the pier and looked out at the water. The sun had vanished back behind the usual clouds. The only sounds were the ferry blowing its horn as it left for Vashon Island and the waves hitting the pylons under the dock. The gulls had vanished once the food had. I stood behind Bella and wrapped my arms around her.

"You cold?"

"No. The cool air is nice. I like the smell out here." Bella leaned back into me.

"I do too." The breeze caught Bella's hair again and blew it over her shoulder. Her perfect ivory neck was visible. I leaned in just close enough so she could feel my breath. I slid one hand up the back of her sweater and then slowly around the front. Bella's coat hid what I was doing very nicely.

Bella moaned very quietly, tipping her head back against my shoulder as I wrapped my hand over her bare breast. I played lightly with her nipple. Slowly I drug my thumb back and forth over it. I flicked her earlobe with my tongue and Bella pressed her ass into me. She rubbed slowly over me, which just made me even harder than I already was.

I kissed right behind her ear before I swept my lips down and back up her jaw line. Looking around to make sure we were still alone, I unbuttoned her jeans. Bella inhaled sharply and looked back at me with wide eyes.

"Don't worry baby. I'm keeping watch. No one out here but you and me. I need to touch you. Now."

Bella relaxed into me as I slid my hand inside her panties. My other hand was still caressing her breast. I felt her hold her breath the closer my fingers came to where she wanted them the most. When I slightly grazed her clit I heard Bella stifle a moan. I leaned down and whispered. "You gotta be quiet baby. I promise plenty of opportunity to scream as loud as you want later."

Leaning forward Bella rested her arms on the railing and put her head down on them. I scooted in closer behind her as I glanced around again. The fact that the weather was a bit too cool for most people was a definite benefit. I drug my fingers through the moisture flowing from Bella. Her underwear was damp already, so she'd been wet for a while.

"Mmm, wet and warm, just like you always are." Bella muffled another moan against her arm as I slid two fingers into her. A low curse came from Bella. I worked my fingers in and out of her at a leisurely speed. Bella's hips wanted to follow my hand, but she was fighting it.

"You can move some baby, no one's here. You know you want to grind down on my hand, so just do it." Bella groaned and started moving with my hand.

"Feel good Bella?"

Bella whispered. "Fuck yes." She placed her hand on the one I had under her sweater and tightened my grip on her.

"Good. Let's go." I slid my hands out. Bella turned and watched me lick my fingers off. I reached down and buttoned her jeans since she was frozen staring at me, mouth hanging open. When I smirked at her Bella shut her mouth and I could see determination in the way she set her jaw.

Bella's eyes narrowed at me. "Cullen. You better be planning on taking me home now, or the nearest private flat surface. Because if you don't I will fuck the shit out of you right here."

"Are you saying you are aroused Bella?" I gave her the most innocent look I could manage.

Bella stepped back up within inches of me. "The soaked undies weren't a clue Einstein?" Lightening fast she grasped my erection through my jeans. "Are you trying to say you aren't?"

"Never said I wasn't." I pressed into her hand a little.

Bella snatched her hand back and crossed her arms over her chest. Arching an eyebrow at me she spoke in a low and husky tone. "Home. Now. Or else."

I raised my eyebrow back. "Or else what?"

Bella passed me and started walking towards where the bike was parked. She spun and smiled as she walked backwards away from me. "Or else your hand." She made a jerking off motion. "Is going to be the only action you get tonight." Bella winked and turned to walk forward again.

Once again it seemed like Bella had somehow won this round. I caught up with her in a few strides. "Okay. I guess I can take you home now and fuck you." My tone was nonchalant.

Bella climbed onto the Harley behind me. "Could be I'll fuck you. You never know." Her voice was just as calm and measured as mine was. If she hadn't reached down and palmed my cock again briefly, I would think she sounded like she didn't care what happened. I knew better. I knew Bella was very interested in what we did when we got home. I certainly was.

On the ride home Bella was subtly grinding into me from behind occasionally. We pulled in at my building. Once we were in the elevator Bella grabbed me by my leather jacket and shoved me back into the wall. Her lips attacked mine and I lost complete track of where I was. She put one foot up on the railing and rubbed up against me. I grabbed her ass and pulled her tightly into my erection. Bella's tongue entered my mouth rather forcefully and I groaned seeing her aggressive side coming out.

As soon as I groaned Bella broke the kiss. With deliberated slowness she pulled her leg down from the railing. I stood gasping looking at her. "Okay. I guess I deserved that."

Bella nodded as the elevator doors opened on my floor. "Just a little." She called back as she exited.

Our pace down to my door was definitely not relaxed and easy. Bella grabbed onto my arm as I was trying to find my house key. Once we were inside Bella took her coat off in front of me. As she walked forward she pulled off her sweater, revealing the smooth pale expanse of her back and the slender curve of her waist.

Slowly Bella bent over in front of me and pulled off her shoes. Her hair was brushing the ground as she shimmed very carefully out of her jeans. Bella's eyes locked with mine from between her legs before she stood up. Tossing her hair over her shoulder with a confident flip, she strolled back to the bedroom in just her panties. I was starting to follow her when the blue scrap of lace that she had been wearing flew out the bedroom door and landed on the carpet at my feet.

I had absolutely no clue what I was going to find when I walked in the room other than a naked Bella. When I came in she was kneeling on the bed, her legs slightly spread. I stood there for a moment just looking at her. "Do you have any clue how delicious you look right now Bella?" I walked over to the edge of the bed. Bella crept over to me on her knees. Without a word she unbuttoned the top two buttons on my shirt. She met my eyes and then ripped the shirt the rest of the way open, sending buttons flying. It wasn't very often anyone shocked me, but that did. Bella slid the fabric gently off over my shoulders. She looked down at my jeans and then back up at me through her lashes.

"Still looking delicious?" She whispered at me with a small smile.

"Completely fucking edible. And I am going to devour you." I pulled her body up against mine. I kissed her neck and then bit it lightly. Bella moaned and reached for my jeans. She unbuttoned them and slid her hand inside.

"That's right, you went commando today. I like it." Bella gripped me firmly and ran her thumb over the tip of my cock. Her lips were at my ear as I nibbled on her ear lobe. "And you are rock hard, I love that."

I growled in her ear. "I know, and that's all because of you baby." I ran my teeth down her collarbone towards the center of her chest. Bella shoved my jeans down and they dropped around my feet. I stepped out of them and kicked them aside. I dropped down on my knees. Bella watched me to see what I was up to. I patted the mattress. "Sit."

Bella sat down and hung her legs over the edge of the mattress. I put one leg over each of my shoulders. Grasping her ass I slid her right to the edge. Bella ran one hand up into my hair, tightening her fingers and tugging on me slightly.

"Impatient are we?" I put my chin on her upper thigh and Bella let go, leaning back on her elbows.

"Edward." That was when I noticed how fast she was already breathing. I took one finger and slid it very slowly into her. Bella closed her eyes and sighed. "I feel like I'm going to explode." Her eyes opened and burned into mine. "Lick me, kiss me, suck me, do something."

Our eyes never left one another as I bent down and flicked her clit with my tongue. Bella bit her lower lip as I sucked it into my mouth with a sound of pleasure. Fuck I loved taking her in my mouth. Her juices flowed out around my finger. I slowly worshipped every inch of flesh around my finger. When I slid my teeth over her clit, Bella gripped the comforter and started saying my name repeatedly. I looked up over her, taking in the sight of her breasts rising and falling as she panted in front of me. Bella had her eyes closed again as she started writhing against my mouth.

I pulled back and added two more fingers. Bella was right on the edge after I had been teasing her all day. I stroked one finger over her g spot and Bella arched and let out a loud moan.

"Fuck Edward, there. Right there." I curled my fingers and lightly pressed up. Bella's hands were gripping the blanket so tightly her knuckles were white. I knew what I needed to do to send her into oblivion.

"Do you want to come Bella?" I started slowly circling her clit with my thumb. My fingers were still teasing her lazily.

"Yes……" Bella gasped as her heels dug into my back, urging me closer.

Changing my pace I drove my three fingers into her fast and hard while I sucked her clit. Bella's orgasm slammed into her and she arched her hips hard up to my mouth. "Oh yes like that Edward…..shit!" Bella's fingernails drug along the blanket. Her fingers clenching and pulling at the fabric as I felt her spasm against my mouth. I released her from my lips and gave her one last slow lick. Bella shuddered and moaned as her body fell down on the mattress. I sat back and watched relaxation flow through her muscles.

Crawling up I lay down next to her and wrapped my arm around her waist. Bella rolled into me and slid her thigh between mine so she could press into my erection. I groaned as my head fell back. Bella's lips worked their way up from the base of my neck to the corner of my jaw. She grabbed my ear lobe between her teeth and ran her tongue over it. Simultaneously Bella was stroking her hands over my chest, occasionally scraping her nails over my flesh. I wrapped my upper thigh over hers and held her against me with it.

"Mmm……that was wow." Bella murmured in my ear. I felt her tongue trace over my lower lip and then my upper. My fingers tightened on her back as Bella rocked her hips into me. One of her hands slid down my side and moved to grip my ass. When Bella dug her fingernails in I hissed in pleasure.

"I can't wait anymore." I pushed Bella over onto her back and settled between her legs. I rubbed the head of my cock against her and Bella gave me a very seductive smile.

"Then don't." Bella planted her feet so she could roll her hips upward. I entered her just an inch or so, pausing and gazing down at her. Fighting my body's drive for what it wanted for a few more seconds.

"I want to thrust in you hard Bella. I want to bury myself in you and never come out. Tell me you want that."

Bella pulled on my lower back with her hands and slid her calves around behind the back of my thighs tightly. "I want that Edward. I want you. I want you to fuck me so hard I forget who I am." Her voice was deep and throaty, driving my desire for her to raging fever. I gripped her hips and thrust into Bella's soaking wet heat with one steady move. The thought of doing this someday without any barrier between us, oh God. I knew that would probably kill me. Our bodies were coming together in a frenzied pace from the start. There was nothing but heat, sweat, and the sounds of unbridled lust in our voices.

"Oh God, yes Edward. Don't stop." I bit down on one of Bella's nipples and she arched up with a high pitched cry. "I'm yours."

"Yes baby, you are." I brushed my lips against her and Bella sucked my lower lip in her mouth for a second. Leaning down I growled in her ear, punctuating each word with my movements. "You." Thust. "Are." Thrust. "Mine." With my last word I drove hard into her, pressing in as deep as I could get. Still Bella's legs gripped at me, trying to bring me deeper.

I pulled out and flipped her over onto her stomach. Gripping Bella around the waist, I brought her back towards me an entered her again. Bella pushed up on her hands so she could shove back against my every thrust. "Do you feel it?" I grasped both her breasts in my hands, rolling her nipples and giving them a little tug. "Do you know your mine?"

Bella writhed back against me. "I know. You are mine too." Her breaths sporadic and loud.

"Oh I know." I nipped the nape of her neck and Bella cried out.

"Again." I nipped again a little lower and Bella rocked back into me with a guttural moan. "Edward."

I slid one hand up and entangled it in her hair, lightly pulling her head back. Bella moaned again as our lips met over her shoulder. Tongues intertwining in a heated contest for dominance. I turned her head a little further back and whispered in her ear. "Get on your side." I pulled back and got back up facing Bella. My hand slid down and grabbed her behind the knee, hitching it up around my waist.

Our bodies came back together and I slid in slowly this time, stopping once I was all the way in. I rolled my hips pressing deeper and grinding against her clit. Bella's cheeks were flushed and she bit her lower lip as she glanced down to watch us come together. "Fuck." Bella groaned as she watched me start to move faster in and out.

"Mmm, I like seeing that too baby. You fit around me so perfectly. I like watching your body take me in all the way." Bella looked up at me with dark eyes that were almost predatory.

"Edward….what you do to me……." Bella was rocking her hips rapidly into mine. Bella locked her eyes with mine and her arms around my waist.

"Oh God Bella." My hands settled on her hips.

"Harder, please." Bella's lips parted and she licked them.

I loved seeing her breathless and moaning. Feeling how I couldn't quite tell where I ended and Bella began sent heat through my stomach. I felt everything tighten and Bella's walls were starting to clamp down again. "Fuck, I'm gonna come soon. You feel too good."

"Me too. Only you make me come like this, only you." Bella took one hand and reached over her thigh to grab mine. I could feel her fingers flexing with my muscles as I drove harder, pushing us both to the limit.

Bella's nails dug in and she yelled out. "Edward! Oh fuck, deeper." Her body seized down around my cock as I thrust in as deep and as hard as I could. My orgasm started the moment Bella shouted my name. Her muscle spasms pulling my release from me. Milking me as I was lost in endless waves of pleasure.

"Bella…….so fucking good!" I held tightly onto her as she writhed against me. I reached down and rubbed her clit. Another smaller orgasm shot through her and I heard her whisper my name. I groaned her name again as I felt it go through her and grazed my teeth over the top of her breast.

Relaxation started to flow over both of us. Our bodies were still slowly rubbing together as we rode out the last little bits of ecstasy. In vain I tried to pull Bella tighter to me, which really wasn't possible. Again our eyes met. Bella smiled at me and I couldn't help but smile back at her.

She stretched her arms with a very satisfied sigh. "I love that feeling."

"Which feeling? There have been several." I tickled her on her side and Bella giggled and squirmed into me.

"Well all of them really. But the one I have right now." Bella gave me a cryptic smile.

"You want to share what that little secret is?" I started rubbing her back.

Bella reached up and pushed my hair off my forehead. "Well sweetheart, it's the I've been fucked by Edward Cullen feeling. Very delightful and…." Bella sighed again as she snuggled under my chin. "Heavenly."

Sweetheart. She had called me that earlier. The nickname sounded nice coming from Bella. For some reason it didn't bother me like I would've expected it to. "I have the I've been fucked by Bella Swan feeling, so I know what you mean." I ran my fingers down over the soft skin of her hip and back up. "I like that one by the way."

"What one Edward?" I felt Bella brush her lips over my chest.

"That nickname. Sweetheart. I like hearing you say it. Don't know why, just do."

Bella pulled back and looked up at me with a shy smile. "Well it fits, because that's what you are. At least to me, among other things."

I raised an eyebrow. "What other things?"

"Hmm." Bella looked thoughtful. "Well you are also a friend, lover, angel, confidant, God of orgasms. Do you want me to keep going?"

"No I think I get the general idea." I smiled at her. Bella grinned and propped herself up on my chest.

"So, where are you going to put the B?" I had been pondering that very question myself the last twenty four hours.

I pointed to the general area at the top of my Celtic tree of life on my left chest. "I'm going to blend it in to the tree, near the top."

"Why there?" Bella touched the area I had indicated.

"One because it's over my heart. Two because of what that tree symbolizes to me." My eyes followed Bella's finger tracing the design. "That everything is connected, and there is always a path. My path led me to you."

I felt a warm drop of moisture hit my chest. I looked up startled to see Bella's eyes filling with tears. She must've seen the alarm on my face because she smiled and quickly wiped her eyes. Opening her mouth she started to speak, but then just closed it again. Instead she scooted up, kissed my tattoo, and then softly kissed my lips. Bella gazed at me for a moment again before she found the words she wanted.

"Thank you. Sweetheart."
