"Hell no, Baby," he said and pulled her mouth to his in a passionate kiss.

Edward sucked Bella's bottom lip into his mouth as she moaned in pleasure. He lowered his hands from her face, gently running them down her sides and barely touching the side of her breasts. Running his fingers along the edge of her shirt, he slowly lifted it and reached beneath, letting his hands finally touch her bare skin.

Bella slowly lifted both hands and placed them on his chest, pushing him backwards until the back of his knees hit the couch. He sat down, Bella quickly following, her legs straddling either side of him. Her skirt had risen a fair amount, and Edward couldn't help but run his hands over the large expanse of skin showing.

Bella fisted his hair in both her hands as they continued kissing. Edward kept one hand running up and down the smooth skin of her back while the other reached around, kneading her breast.

Bella broke away from the kiss and started to lift the hem of her shirt. Edward pushed her hands away and pulled her back into a kiss. Bella decided to undo the button of her skirt, but Edward pushed her hand away again.

"Stop trying to take your clothes off, Bella," he said while kissing down the column of her neck. Bella slowly raked her nails down the center of Edward's naked chest.

"Why? Did you wanna do that part?" she asked as he gently bit her. He pulled away from her and laughed quietly.

"Actually, yes I do, but not here. It's been seven years, baby, and I don't want the first time we're together again to be in here," he told her honestly. Plus, he was pretty sure that if they were to fuck right now, it'd be over in about two seconds.

"Are you seriously cock-blocking yourself right now?" Bella asked in shock. She raised her eyebrows at him as he smirked.

"No. I was just going to suggest we move this to the bedroom," he said before standing up quickly and making sure he didn't drop her on her ass this time. He grabbed her hand and pulled her behind him quickly as they ran to the house.

They barely made it into the bedroom before Edward spun Bella around, slamming her body into the wall beside the door. Bella kicked her shoes off quickly and hopped up, wrapping her legs around Edward's waist. He gripped her ass tightly in both hands as he pulled her to him, grinding his cock against her center.

"Bed. Bed. Oh God, Bed, please," Bella moaned. Edward stepped away from the wall, holding Bella tightly to him. He slowly walked over to the bed, tossing her down in the center of it.

Bella sat up and took her top off, along with her bra, while watching Edward unbutton his pants and remove them. Edward stood before her completely naked and all she could do was stare.

She shook her head slightly to get back in the moment and reached for the button on her skirt. Edward reached his hands up and placed them at the edge of her skirt.

"May I?" he whispered. Bella nodded her head and he slowly pulled off her skirt and panties, tossing them behind him somewhere. Edward raised one of Bella's legs from the bed and placed wet, open mouth kisses on her ankle, up her calf and along her thigh. He stopped when he reached the apex of her thighs and continued on the other leg.

Once he was done with both, he placed himself between her open legs. He slowly ran one finger along the wetness of her skin and Bella gasped, propping herself up on her elbows to watch him. Locking eyes with her, he stuck his tongue out and gently flicked her clit.

Bella moaned loudly before dropping her head back down to the bed.

Edward internally smirked and gently sucked her clit into his mouth. Bella reached down and gripped his hair in both hands, holding his mouth to her body. He rubbed around her entrance with his fingers before gently sliding two inside her warm body.

"Fuck. Edward, fuck yes. Mmmmmm," Bella moaned. Edward pushed his fingers roughly inside her, wiggling them the way he remembered she liked, as he continued licking and sucking on her clit. Bella's back suddenly arched from the bed, her pussy clenching around his fingers as she found her release.

Edward slowly made his way up her body, placing soft kisses along her stomach and chest. He bit down slightly on one nipple before sucking it into his mouth. Bella sighed and ran her hand through his hair as he moved to pay attention to her other breast. She felt better than she had in a long time. She hadn't come that hard in forever, and they hadn't even had sex yet.

While Edward continued kissing and sucking at Bella's chest, she reached between them and gripped his cock in her hand, running it over her wet opening.

"Fucking hell, baby," Edward grunted, trying to stop himself from pushing inside. She continued to rub the head of his cock against her, wishing he would go ahead and slip inside her.

"No, no, no. Goddammit, fucking shit!" Edward yelled as he lifted his body off her. Bella scrunched up her face and looked at him questioningly.

"What? What's wrong?" Bella asked him.

"I don't have any goddamn condoms. Shit. I mean, its been a long fucking time. A long time. I mean, no it's not been seven years or anything and... fuck. I'm sure you don't wanna talk about this right now," Edward said. As he continued to ramble, he ran his hands through his hair, gripping it roughly. Bella raised her hand and placed one finger over his lips to get him to shut up.

"Edward, you're right. I don't want to talk about that right now, but I do want you to make love to me. I'm clean and I'm pretty sure you are, right?" she asked. Edward nodded his head quickly. "I trust you. And we don't have to worry about the other thing because I'm on the shot."

Edward nodded and sighed heavily, placing himself back between her legs. He bent down and kissed her gently as she ran her hands along his naked back. He gripped his cock and placed it at her opening, pausing to lock eyes with Bella. She smiled at him and nodded slightly.

"I love you, Bella," he said before slowly pushing himself inside her. Edward's eyes nearly rolled back in his head as he felt himself being fully surrounded by Bella again. After seven years without her, it felt like it was their first time again, which in a sense it was.

"I love you, Edward. Love you so much," Bella said as she gripped Edward's shoulders tightly. He pulled out slowly, almost completely, before thrusting himself back inside her fully.

"Uunnnggghhh, Bella," Edward moaned as he continued his pace of thrusting. He knew that this was going to be over a lot sooner than he wanted, but he hoped there would be plenty of other chances to maintain his stamina.

"Fuck, baby. I need you to come. I don't know how long I'm gonna last, but I need you to fucking come," he said as he thrust roughly into her. "Touch yourself." Bella ran a hand down her stomach, stopping where they were joined. Using her middle finger, she ran tight circles around her clit.

"So close, so close," Bella gasped as Edward's thrusts became erratic.

"Shit. I know, I can feel you getting tighter," Edward moaned. Bella's legs began shaking as she could feel her stomach tightening up. A few more thrusts from Edward and a few more flicks of her finger and she was falling hard, shouting Edward's name into the silent night.

"Yes, fuck yes," Edward groaned as he felt Bella's pussy gripping him tightly and pulling his orgasm from him. He thrust a few more times, riding out his euphoria before falling to the side of Bella, his arm draped across her.

"Mmmmmm," Bella hummed in happiness. Edward rolled himself over to his back and she rested her head on his shoulder, running her hand up and down his chest.

"So, why do you wanna stay married to me anyway?" Bella asked, a question that sounded very similar to one she had asked when they were younger. Edward smiled down at her and kissed her sweetly.

"So you can be the last person I see before going to bed and the first person I see when I wake up," he told her before they both closed their eyes and drifted off into a peaceful sleep.

Everyone from town was gathered at the church for Bella and Edward. Even Peter and Alice had arrived from New York the day before. When they learned that Bella had broken off her engagement with Riley, neither questioned her. They were behind her one hundred percent. Maybe one hundred twenty percent when they found out Bella had punched Victoria.

When Renee and Esme learned that Bella and Edward were together again, they insisted on throwing some type of party for them. Whether it was an engagement party or a wedding reception, everyone was there.

As everyone else floated around the room, moving from conversation to conversation, Bella and Edward disappeared outside. They sat together on the bench in front of the church and watched the fireflies dance around.

"I meant to ask you how your opening went. We've been so busy and wrapped up with all this," she said, motioning to the party going on inside. Edward laughed a little and shook his head.

"Yeah, about that. I had them push it back. After seeing you that day, I knew I wasn't ready yet. But now, now I know I'm ready. It's set for next week," he said as he held Bella's hand tightly in his.

Edward would be the one headed off to New York now. Once he was out there and found the success he had been hoping for, he would surely stay. And where would that leave her? She would be the one stuck back here while he lived his dreams.

"Bella?" he said as he reached up and gently lifted her chin so she could look at his face. "I want you to come with me, baby. Come with me back to New York." Bella smiled widely at him and hugged him tightly.

"Yes. Yes, I'll come with you," she whispered in his ear.
