"Hands down, married sex trumps all of the other kinds of sex." Bella gasps, rolling off of me.

I reach over and grab at her.

I'm not happy until she's laying half on me, half off.

Our left hands are resting over my heart, and I ask her about the rings she chose.

"Cobalt blue because of our tattoos and meteorite. I figured it was fitting for us."

"Fucking perfect is more like it." I kiss the top of her head. "Did I tell you how beautiful you looked in your wedding dress?"

I feel her nod.

"I wanted something nice but I also wanted something that felt more like me. You know I hate dresses and girly shit."

I squeeze her.

"I really like the heels."

"I know. I'm pretty sure you're going to have bruises on your back." She giggles.

Yeah, our first tryst as a married couple was straight-up fucking. I made her leave the heels on, and it was painful as they dug into my back, but I wouldn't change a thing. It was perfect.

Just like us.

When we finally exit the room, we both look thoroughly fucked.

Bella couldn't get a brush through her hair, so she threw it up into a messy bun; our clothes are wrinkled, and our necks are covered in love bites.

We're meeting our family and friends for brunch before we head to the airport.

As soon as they see us, they start clanging their glasses with silverware, meaning that we have to kiss.

When we part, Mom practically pulls her new daughter-in-law onto her lap when we get to the table.

I calmly take a seat beside my wife, and someone else clanks their glass. We share a kiss before Bella turns back to Mom.

No one says anything, but I can see their eyes take in our well-loved appearance.

Emmett manages to keep his dirty thoughts to himself, and Rose is just happy to have a cap on her chipped tooth. We weren't really expecting much from them; they just came along for the gambling, I think.

It becomes a game. I spend most of brunch kissing my beautiful wife, not that I'm complaining.

Dad throws his arm around my shoulder and tells me I can take the next five days off. But I'll need to stop in and cut payroll checks because he's clueless.

Another kiss, this time with tongue and lasts so long that someone clears their throat to break us apart.

Alice and Jasper are eating everything in sight, having stopped at one of the dispensaries dotted along the strip this morning. I couldn't pick a better girl for my best friend if I tried.

"Did you tell Edward your idea?" Mom asks Bella, pushing a bowl of watermelon to her. "With your dress?"

"No. We haven't really had a chance," she says, like we haven't spent the entire time since the wedding doing dirty things.

"Well, show him."

Bella reaches into her backpack and pulls her sketchbook out, flipping through until she finds what she's looking for.

"I thought it would be cool to do a cuff on your bicep with the pattern from my dress." She flicks her lip ring back and forth. "I mean, if you wanted to. It's not that big of a deal."

"When we go back to work, I want it." I point to it and make a request. "About half an inch thicker."

"Biceps hurt, you know? That is a pretty big piece."

"I can take it."

She mutters something under her breath and puts her book away.

"Did Bella tell you that I made her a new line of lingerie for your wedding present?" Alice asks with a mouth full of food. "I spent a lot of time on it since she called yesterday, and I'm not entirely finished; just try not to rip it off her body, yeah?"

I look around the table, and no one seems phased by the conversation. Mom and Dad don't seem to care that my sex life is prime subject.

"I can't make any promises, Alice," I tell her. "When do you have time to make clothes, by the way?"

She shrugs. "I don't sleep. Too addicted to caffeine," she explains and feeds Jasper a big ass bite of pancake from her fork.

"What are you planning on doing for your honeymoon?" Rose asks after checking her teeth in a compact mirror.

"Nothing," Bella and I say at the same time.

Everyone looks shocked.

"I might bring my kit home and ink the hell out of my husband, but I think we're going to spend the five days we've been given at home. I might try talking Edward into getting a cat."

"You never told me you wanted a cat."

"Well, now you know. I want a cuddle buddy."

I pout.

"I'm your husband—you have a built in cuddle buddy."

"I can see this is going to take a lot of bribing." She sniffs indignantly. "I'm going to break out some of Alice's wedding presents early."

"Damn straight. I'm talking the whole line if you think I'm getting a furball that shits in abox." I pop a grape in my mouth.

"You can train them to use the toilet, you know. I've done my research."

"Okay, kids. Let's not make this your first fight as a married couple." Mom tsks. "We should head to the airport so we can make our flights though."

Rose and Emmett argue over the fact that Bella and I are getting the first-class seats again.

The newlyweds win.
