A/N- The moment that you have all been waiting for. I love Edward, and I think you may as well. You may notice that my lemon is not all cuss words and dirty talk. I happen to love to imagine Edward talking dirty, but that is not my Edward. I did try very hard to stay in character and not go too detailed, because I know that there are underage eyes reading this so I need to be a little responsible.

Special thanks for Clarisa. You are the best! She is so funny, because she always says "thanks for sharing your story with me" She is crazy, because without her, I couldn't share it with you fine people. So thanks to you

One last thing. I started reading this story last week. It is called Lady of the Knight by ObsessingOverEdward. It is riveting and fun, so check it out if you haven't started that.

:) You have to tell me what you think when you are done... Ohhh, I am so excited.-- Melissa

I had tried to lie in this comfy bed with Bella right next to me, and I was struggling to find a way to actually get to sleep so that not touching her wouldn't be so physically painful. I started reciting the capitals of the United States over and over until I felt that my breathing evened so that I could successfully feign sleep. Bella moved around restlessly, and I concentrated hard on the capital of Washington. She had finally given up trying to sleep and quietly got out of bed. She went to the window and when I finally thought that it was safe to open my eyes, my heart literally stopped and I felt a longing I couldn't describe.

She looked stunning with the moonlight kissing her skin and her beautiful brown hair, soft and flowing over her shoulders. I watched as she looked out the window and I noticed the change in her expression. It was one of appreciation, of awe. Her eyes glistened and I melted. I couldn't think of a lovelier sight than looking at Bella. She was the only woman that I had ever known myself to watch and study. Her thoughts and movements fascinated me, causing a undeniable bond. She was lovely in every sense of the word. My eyes scrolled down her perfect body and I surrendered right there, in front of God and Bella. I was hopelessly drawn to her. I couldn't close my eyes, nor could I deny the longing I felt in my body and my heart; I just had to touch her.

She slowly turned her head towards me and our eyes met. A sudden surge started pulsing through my body.

"See something you like?" she asked, though I hardly heard her over the overactive pounding of my heart."

"Just admiring the view," I replied, sounding like I had run one hundred miles to reach her. "May I admire you?" I said as I raised my body to a sitting position.

Bella smiled and nodded her head as her eyes moved back towards the wondrous view out the window. I don't think I had ever moved as fast as I did to reach her. I stopped behind her, trying to slow my breath before I touched her. It took me a second of gaining control and then I wrapped my arms around her. My hands lightly grazing her stomach caused her to shiver at my touch.

I pulled her body to mine and buried my face in her neck, taking in her luxurious scent and then whispering in her ear, "Bella, I have never seen a more exquisite sight than you standing here in the moonlight. I am sorry but I just have to touch you. I can't control it. My body just takes over when I am with you and I am powerless."

My body and my voice were shaky as I truly felt the effects of the words I had just spoken to her. She turned and met my lips with an urgent kiss, her lips fully on mine sending warning signals to my already overheated body. I responded naturally, taking her tongue in my mouth and savoring the taste of her. My desire for her was so extreme. Then she spoke; I stopped everything I was doing in order to hear her.

"Edward, I am ready…"

I needed to make sure that I had heard what she said. My eyes communicated with hers.

"Edward, show me how much you love me," she whispered.

My world felt complete as I led her back to towards the bed. She smiled at me, her eyes full of anticipation as I kissed her softly. I wanted this moment to be perfect. We were both giving the gifts that we'd saved, and we were giving them to each other. I never wanted her to regret one moment or movement of this night.

"I love you, Bella," I whispered before gathering her lips in a passion-filled kiss.

Her hands went straight to my hair where she intertwined her fingers while pulling my head closer to hers, trying to bridge the nonexistent gap between us. My lips trailed over her neck and to her shoulders. I wanted to taste every part of her. Her skin was hot under my tongue as her breathing went wild. I laid her down and she looked amazing as her head settled on the bed, her hair fanned out across the white comforter, her gorgeous body writhing, waiting for my touch. I lingered my kisses on her lips and moved downward to her beautiful chest. Her body was already primed for my tongue. Her moans increased as my lips explored her body and that beautiful sound was almost my undoing. She was moist as I felt her center against my stomach; I moved my body up and down as my abdomen created friction which caused another round of soft moans from her lovely lips.

I lifted my body up slightly as my lips continued their southbound journey, settling at her sweet spot. She was clearly ready for me, and I kissed her softly, causing her to tremble under my lips. I kissed my way back to her mouth and deepened my kiss.

"Is this what you want, Bella?" I asked.

She nodded her head and whispered a husky, "Edward, fill me."

My smile returned to my face as I lowered my body onto hers, our eyes interlocking. I moved my swollen length over her and she closed her eyes. I was at her entrance, and I suddenly needed to see her eyes. I wanted to know if I was hurting her or if I was making her happy and so I needed to read it in her eyes

"Bella, look at me, love… show me those beautiful brown eyes, baby." She looked at me and I slipped inside her as her fingers dug into my shoulders. I moved my body slowly and then slid out and repeated the process until I felt myself going deeper. Her eyes never left mine, though she whispered my name and only cringed slightly once I had filled her fully. I stopped, allowing her to adjust to me.

"God, you feel amazing, Bella… "I panted as I tried not to move until I was certain she was ready.

Her hips lifted slightly letting me know she was ready for more. I started moving slowly at first. I knew that I couldn't possibly handle this incredible feeling for long. She was tight and lovely and her skin was so soft. I was immersed in ecstasy.

"Edward, this is better… oh God, I need more." I gave her what she asked for as I quickened my pace, giving her all of me. I reached under me and touched her in just the right spot and she bucked her body quickly, moaning loudly, her build-up priming her for her release. Her breath was labored, her body moving and then spasming under me. I push into her, wanting to be closer, wanting to stay connected. My release was imminent so I thrust inside her one more time as I spilled into her. I gasped and said her name over and over as my body convulsed. I pulled her to me, kissing her swollen lips breathlessly.

I held her tightly as we both regained our composure, and we held on to one another, ensuring that this moment would last longer.

"Bella, if I could read your mind, what would I hear right now?" I asked.

"You would hear that I am glad I waited for you for 26 years. You would hear that I feel the happiest that I have ever felt in my entire life. You would hear that I love you," she whispered, her voice wavering

I smiled at her and thanked her with a sweet kiss. We lay quietly, settling into the silence while I still heard the passion that we had shared in my head. Bella leaned in and kissed me softly and I held her tightly as she whispered to me.

"If I could read your mind, what would I hear?" she said smiling.

"You would hear that you are the hottest girl I've ever slept with," I teased, and she hit me lightly in the chest and snuggled up to me.

"Funny; I better be the only one," she stated while acting mad.

"You are special, Bella, because you have several different distinctions. You are the hottest, the sweetest, the first and more importantly, the last," I said as I lifted her face closer to mine, joining our lips again. "As far as reading my mind, it is not necessary. All you have to do is listen to the sounds that my heart makes. If you put your head on my chest you would hear the pounding of my heart every time you look at me, meaning that the only place in the world I want to be is anywhere you are. If you put your face close to mine and you feel my breath on your face when I sigh, that is the happiness of knowing that you are mine."

"Dang, Edward…. you do dazzle me," she said, kissing my arms and my chest. Soon my body reacted as I devoured her mouth and kissed her neck, and I moved my hands down her luscious curves, preparing her for round two.

I couldn't stop smiling as I looked over at Edward; I was feeling content and extremely happy. Last night was more than I could have imagined. If it were up to me, I would still be making love to Edward. He was incredible and sweet and loving and last night was everything a first time should be. I reached over and touched his bare chest, running my fingers lightly down his hard torso, while entertaining vivid memories of our bodies intertwined last night. I loved every moment that we shared, and my heart pounded as I anticipated more moments of lovemaking with the man of my dreams.

I smiled at my feelings of ecstasy, but as always, the feeling of dread deep in my heart started inching towards the surface.

It was not that my life had been horrible, not that I had been abused, but really nothing involving happiness lasted for long in my life. I am not even complaining. It had always been that way. I guess that is why I never tried to get to know Edward before--or anyone for that matter. I had always known that true happiness was out of my grasp, but for the first time I couldn't imagine my life without my current state of bliss. I couldn't imagine not being with him, not kissing him. I knew it was not rational that I should feel so much love so quickly, but it really was all-consuming. I felt like I was floating in happiness, which again brought up my fears, fears of losing what I now had. Sometimes I think that it would just be easier to plan for the end of the relationship than to be totally unprepared for it.

I wondered what a man like Edward even saw in someone like me. I questioned his attraction, but then again I had felt it when he held me. Regardless, the two of us together defied logic. I was lost in my thoughts and I must have had a serious expression on my face, because I was interrupted by Edward's concerned voice.

"Bella, are you ok?" he asked while tracing his fingers along my cheek.

I smiled, looking at him, just amazed at how strikingly handsome he was.

"I am fine, actually more than fine," I said, trying to shake my negative mood.

Edward pulled me closer to him and hugged me tightly.

"Bella, we are together and I hope that you will start opening up to me. You are my life now. I want to be everything to you, but you are going to have to trust me." Edward spoke the words as he continued to hold me close.

"I trust you, Edward, I do… Just give me some time. I am not used to being close to anyone, and just so you know, you are everything to me."

He didn't say anything more as he continued running his hands through my hair. I needed Edward, and for the first time in years I allowed myself to need another person. I felt a chill run through my body as I leaned closer. Lord, please let me keep him. Please don't take him away.

Review, Review, Review! I love you guys... Big, thanks so much for your awesome words. It really makes my day.
