Bella P.O.V
Edward tried to convince me to rest on the jet but rest was impossible. It was silly but I couldn't help but to try and calculate precisely how many hours it would be until I finally got what I wanted.
I sat there, Edward's cool arm wrapped around my shoulders as the plane glided gradually towards the ground.
The sky was dim as we stepped off of the jet, if I weren't so distracted and nervous I would have time to be surprised that we actually made it to wherever we were alive. Considering our pilot wasn't so attentive.
Wait, where were we?
I looked around the tiny airport with only one minuscule landing strip, wherever we were wasn't very nice and definitely was the opposite of what I thought Edward had planned.
As we walked to a waiting car Edward wrapped his arm around my waist, his touch sent a shiver through my entire body.
"Are you cold?" He asked removing his arm from around me.
"Quite the opposite." I whispered, making the mistake of believing he wouldn't hear me.
"I see." He smiled, dazzling me immediately. 'One hour' I told myself letting out a deep breath.
Edward P.O.V
The plane ride was strange to say the least. Bella was relatively quiet for most of the ride so, without anything else to listen to, I relaxed and listened to my wife's steady heartbeat.
Every once in awhile I would plant a kiss on her forehead, her neck, anywhere her warm skin was exposed. However, that wasn't the strange thing, I was absolutely used to her reaction to my touch, her accelerated heartbeat, the crimson blush that would build in her cheeks... but now was different, now she seemed much more nervous.
By the time we got into the car I was going mad.
If I could only read her mind I wouldn't be going insane right now.
"You alright Bella?" I finally asked as we neared our destination.
"Yes…it's just that…um…we're almost there." She answered hesitantly while giving me a shy smile.
It was hard for me not smack myself in the head and scream 'duh' to myself.
Bella was nervous because, for the first time, we would try to go further than just kissing. The thought of having her completely always seemed to be on my mind but I never let her know that, that would've only fueled her attempts to sway my decision to wait.
I hadn't realized I was staring down at Bella until she looked up and gave me a half smile.
How could she want so much from me?
What if I lost control?
What if I lose myself and kill my Bella?
"Edward, you're shaking." Bella noticed, placing a hand on my knee.
"Oh…um…sorry." I zoned out once again as a more human concern flew into my mind about tonight. What if I couldn't please her? I was just as experienced, as she was when it came to this kind of thing.
"This is it." The driver informed us in a heavy Spansih accent as the car pulled up to the dock.
"A boat?" Bella asked as we stepped out of the car, the dread evident in her voice. I couldn't blame her for being scarred from boats after nearly being drowned.
"It's taking us to our final destination, I promise."
Bella P.O.V
I stepped on the boat totally and completely upset, an hour and a half ago I calculated –stupidly- that I'd have Edward in an hour but that was obviously wrong.
"How long is this boat ride going to take and where is everyone else?" The lack of civilians on board the medium sized boat hadn't gone unnoticed.
"It's been about forty-five minutes so we should be there in two hours." My hand balled into a fist. I immediately began calculating again. Three hours was my new time. There was no way in hell I was waiting that long.
"And the people…where are all the people on this boat?" I asked once again as a brilliant plan began to form in my head.
"There's only a captain and his helper, this boat is private." The sky was now dark, the air smelled highly of the salt water that surrounded us, the air was somewhat cool but not incredibly so, wherever we were was tropical. I battled with myself for a moment glancing up at Edward.
"Is everything okay with you Bella?"
"No, not really Edward."
"Can I get you something? Are you tired? What is it?" He seemed relatively open to give me whatever I wanted and he'd agreed to give me every inch of his self after the wedding. I should at least have the choice of where we did it.
I rose to my feet, walking down the boat and turning a corner so that Edward couldn't see me.
"Bella?" I heard him call but didn't answer; he would have to come investigate.
"Bella?" He called again, his voice extremely close. He had to hear my racing heartbeat… I knew I could.
I wound my hands together nervously, my face growing warmer by the minute, my stomach twisted with anticipation as I waited for him to round the corner.
I chanted words of encouragement to myself as I fluffed my hair… if I couldn't act sexy I could at least look it.
He rounded the corner, a serious look of concern on his face; it actually made him look sexier than normal…somehow.
"Bella, what in the world are you doing?" I avoided answering his question, words would only complicate things, they would only give him a chance to stall.
I wrapped my arms around his neck, standing on my toes to crush my lips to his, he was hesitant at first, trying to get away with a pitifully short kiss.
"Edward." I groaned looking up into his eyes, trying to get mine to display the need for him I was feeling inside.
Edward P.O.V
"Edward." Bella groaned looking up into my eyes.
Her beautiful chocolate brown eyes smoldered as she started at me, her hair was messy from a long day of traveling but not in a bad way at all. My Bella looked incredibly sexy, unable to resist, but this was wrong, didn't she want more.
Didn't she want something romantic, something beautifully prepared for?
"Edward, please." She groaned again, this time resting her warm hands on my chest.
"Bella I-" Before I could protest she caught my lips into another of her breathtaking kisses.
Her overheated hands slid under my thin shirt, running up and down my chest.
It took everything in me not to moan, not to encourage her any further.
I broke away from her, giving her the air that she, apparently, needed desperately.
"Just an hour and a half Bella, I promise."
"No," She growled biting her bottom lip, I'd never seen her this…aggressive. " Do you know what I've been through Edward?! Do you see what you do to me and yet I never get more than a simple kiss?! And New Orleans! Oh, yes, lets talk about New Orleans! So many times that we came so close, so incredibly close and it never happened!"
"Bella if we could just-" I tried to justify my reason for waiting just a couple hours more but she cut me off with a question that killed me.
"Do you love me Edward?"
"Of course." I responded immediately.
"Then what are you waiting for?" She challenged raising her shirt over her head and throwing it over her shoulder.
I looked away, my will to stay away so small that I was going to snap at any moment.
Bella P.O.V
He looked away not able to handle what I was throwing at him. I had already stepped out of my comfort zone, but now I was stuck, at a loss for what I should do next. What could I possibly do to persuade him?
Then, as if God sent it straight to me from heaven an idea emerged. Okay, well, maybe not from God considering what I was about to do.
Edward P.O.V
Bella was finally quiet, not begging anymore and more importantly not taking off any more of her clothes. Maybe she was thinking the same thing as I, maybe she realized that this wasn't the most proper place to lose her virginity.
Without a word Bella grabbed the back of my hand brining it to her mouth. She kissed my palm trying to grab my attention.
I turned wearily, scared that she might do one more thing, that's all it would take, one thing to throw me over the edge.
A devilish grin crossed her lips and she ran my hand up and down her neck never breaking eye contact with me.
"B…B…Bella…I-" She didn't try to argue this time, only lowering my hand, forcing me to explore her gorgeous body.
I closed my eyes, falling back on the wall behind me. She giggled, pushing her entire body against mine, pulling me into yet another kiss.
"Edward." She breathed against my neck, which was all I needed, resisting her was an idiotic thing to try and I was tired of being an idiot tonight.
