The Consummation

Chapter 25

"These secret garden beams
Changed my life so it seems
A fall breeze blows outside
I don't break stride my thoughts are warm
And they go deep inside of you"

~Deep Inside of You, Third Eye Blind

EPOV ~ After the Wedding

We were sitting side by side in the limo, Alice's doing of course, and Bella's head was lying on my shoulder. Her breath was slow, relaxed and her left hand was stretched over my body and laying on my left hand. Our hands were in a loose embrace as a few of her fingers lazily brushed over mine paying special attention to the ring that my finger now wore.

She sighed, a lovely content sigh, and I couldn't help but to smile. I also couldn't help but to look down her dress because fuck, it's like it was all I could see, I just couldn't look anywhere else.

We were on our way to the hotel to 'change' and then we were going to meet our family and friends for dinner at the restaurant in the hotel, from what Alice said it was "quite lovely". At this exact moment I couldn't give a shit if we were having dinner at McDonald's later. Because that was later and now, well now was time for something else and changing our clothes wasn't really what was top on my list, but taking them off sure was.

~TB~

I carried her over threshold of the hotel suite doorway. Sure, it was a corny thing to do, but it was what I was supposed to do, right? Corny or not, the upside was that I knew if I carried her we would get to the bed faster. Yeah, that's exactly what my horny ass was thinking.

Bella was 8 months pregnant, she wasn't exactly excited about the prospect of me picking her up and carrying her and yeah she grumbled at first. Well actually, she straight out refused at first, but I completely ignored her and picked her up anyway and that's when the grumbling started. I kissed her quickly, but passionately and that's when the grumbling stopped.

Then we were inside the room and I glided across the floor to the bed. Yeah, I fucking glided, not because I'm that fucking smooth, because I'm not, and not because I wasn't in a big hurry, because I was, but because I knew if I so much as stumbled once Bella would probably smack me in the head and tell me she was too heavy.

Once we finally reached the bed I had to stop for a moment, had Bella not been pregnant I would have tossed her on the bed and flew after her in one quick leap, but she was, so I gently lay her down and just stood there for a moment.

I was enjoying the view, if you will, but I was also trying to formulate a plan. You know, because my leap and conquer plan was already out. So, I was trying to decide if I should just pull the dress up or should I pull it down or…

"What are you doing over there, Mr. Cullen? Gotta catch your breath?" She asked me teasingly.

That's all it took, I was off in a flying leap. I went with my first plan; never second guess your first idea. I landed with my hands and knees supporting my weight on the bed, but in a great position on top of Bella. She giggled out of surprise or perhaps delight, I know my raging hard on was definitely delighted.

"Well, Mrs. Cullen" I whispered in her ear and let my lips drag their way down her neck. Every inch of skin erupted in goose bumps and I heard a small sigh, no definitely a small moan. Mmm.

"I couldn't decide if I should pull your dress up or down, but now I just want it the fuck off so bad that I think I'll just…" I started pulling at it, not caring if I ripped it, and she quickly slapped my hands away.

"You should've just said something." She said in this innocent sounding voice…the tease.

Her hands were quick pulling the zipper on the side and pulling down the dress in seemingly one motion. I backed up so she could shimmy out of it and once the dress was no longer in sight I just sort of sat there. I'm not sure what I was doing - gaping mouth, blinking eyes, rubbing my crotch…yeah, probably all of the above.

I had been right to wonder, with great enthusiasm, what was under Bella's dress because, fuck, it was better than I had imagined that's for damn sure.

She was wearing a satiny white bra, it was strapless, just like her dress was, and it just did its job wonderfully of squeezing her chest together and the tops of her breasts were just spilling out. It was quite a sight that's for sure, but where my eyes had stopped and remained was the spot right below her small, but protruding belly. The only thing that was covering her was a pair of white, lacy underwear. They were very small and very lacy, where you could see skin through the pattern. And the sides of the underwear, fuck, the sides were tied together with a bow of satiny ribbon. It was like a present.

"Wow, Mrs. Cullen, is this for me?"

"Well, of course it is…unless you don't want it." She was pouting this big lipped, fake pout and fuck if she didn't sound like fucking Marilyn Monroe or some shit. That wasn't even the worst part, the most teasing part was that she placed both of her little hands right over that beautiful bit of lace.

"Oh, I want it." I said with maybe a little too much gusto. "But, I'd like to kiss you first." I said in a slightly more calm tone.

"Oh, really?" She smirked at me and strummed her fingers in the most distracting way considering where they were strumming. "But, I want to give you your present first." She was back to the pouting, seductress talk and I simply could not refuse her…nor did I really want to.

She was laying there in front of me against the white, fluffy pillows where her hair lay in a dark contrast, messy and perfect. I was still kneeling on the bed in front of her and our eyes were locked in a gaze. She removed both of her hands slowly to where I barely noticed until she spoke.

"Well then, go ahead." She said quietly.

I did not need to be told again. Each hand went to one of her hips and with one quick pull to each ribbon the front of the panties fell.

Holy fuck.

Remember when I said the panties had see-through designs, designs where skin could be seen through them? Yeah, that's because there was skin, and nothing else, behind those panties. Fuck.

I shook my head a little, just to compose myself, to hide my surprise, and to calm down. I really didn't want to start this whole marital sex thing by jizzing in my pants.

"I do believe I owe you a kiss, Mrs. Cullen." I said smoothly. She was going to protest, I knew she was, but I didn't give her time to say anything.

And kiss I did. Despite Bella's best attempt at moving closer to me, to capture my lips with hers no doubt, I made sure she remained laying there just so.

I began placing kisses along the top of her foot to the back of her ankle, up the back of her leg, paying special attention to the crook of the back of her knee, not to mention the front of her knee. This is when her breathing became noticeable, and she was no longer trying to move.

From her knee I made my way up the inside of her thigh. When I reached the apex of her leg I slowly ran my tongue along the crease. Bella could no longer hold still and she wriggled all over the place as if trying to force me into moving to where she wanted me.

I quickly kissed my way back down the same leg and once I was at the furthest point, back to where I started, Bella whimpered, a sad little sound, but once I made my way over to her other foot she sighed, happily or impatiently I'm not sure which.

By the time I reached the apex of the other leg Bella was full out panting, moaning, and had a fistful of my hair. I kissed the soft skin from one hip to the other, staying right below her baby bump. I did this a few times, going back and forth, left to right, right to left, and each time I would move a little lower and each time she thought I would go even a bit more lower…I never did, once I was dangerously close to where she wanted me to be, and honestly where I wanted to be, placing kisses on her pelvic bone and so tempted to keep moving downward, but I made my way upwards instead.

Soft kisses up her side, circling her breasts, and paying special attention to her shoulders and neck. I went down her arms, kissing each finger, and back to her neck. I have always liked to kiss Bella right behind her ear, she seemed to like it too, not that she hadn't seemed to be enjoying all of it, but after a suck and a bite of her ear she was gripping my shoulders pretty tightly and even though I tried to back away and distance myself a bit, she was trying, and mostly succeeding, at grinding against me.

I continued to nuzzle and kiss her ear and neck while I tried to rip my pants from my body. Eventually they were gone and Bella began kissing my neck in return, I liked it too much to do anything but sit there and moan. She carefully worked each button on my shirt as she sucked on my neck. My shirt was quickly thrown to the floor and I believe my tie had ended up somewhere across the room.

"Please" she panted "I miss you. I need you so bad."

"Mmmmm" was my brilliant response as I could feel her wetness against my dick, but I hadn't even done what I had set out to do.

I shimmied down the bed and I didn't even touch her. No warning or indication as to where I was going like there had been when I was teasing her; I just went straight for it. My face went right against her bare pussy and my tongue firmly covered her clit before flicking it quickly. A loud moan filled the air as she fisted two handfuls of my hair.

It was a terribly wonderful, wonderfully terrible, cycle of breathless panting and quicker licking, my tongue having wandered from its rapid flicking at her clit to tease her opening. She was so wet, getting wetter with each movement of my tongue. I didn't know how much longer I could hold out, but the smothering force of Bella's hands and her delightful moans were motivating me to continue, and continue I did. My hands had made their way to the back of Bella's thighs, a good place to be to hold her legs apart, but I brought one of those hands down and my thumb rubbed quickly on her clit as I continued to lick. Her moaning and her hips bucking just intensified, so I slid a finger in her wet pussy, and another one immediately after. I barely started licking her clit again and pumping my fingers in and out when I heard a growled "Oh fuck!" before I was shoved back a little.

I didn't have much time to be confused, Bella just smirked lustfully at me.

"I want my husband inside of me the first time he makes me come."

In lieu of a response, I just quickly flipped her over so she was on her hands and knees before she could even think about it. We had been together, obviously, many times before we got married, but that didn't make this any less special and I wanted it to be very special for her, so if she wanted me to make love to her until she came, who was I to argue? I think I could oblige, many times actually.

No words were spoken. I gripped her hips and placed my dick at her opening. She was still so fucking wet, but I was trying to go in slow, gentle. Bella had other plans. She pushed herself back, so I filled her instantly. Not only was it unexpected, but it was so many sensations at once. We both let out a gasp.

We were a sweaty, intertwined pile on the tangled mess of blankets on the bed. Her head was lying on my bare chest and my fingers were twirling around in her hair even though she had already scolded me for messing it up. Her breath was slow and cool on my chest and I whispered an "I love you" against her hair before we had to get up and face reality again.

It took us about an hour to get ready, but I blamed Bella for this because she refused to share her shower with me. Honestly, she didn't take that long because she didn't wash her hair. She wanted to leave it the way it was, styled all fancy on the top of her head, apparently I hadn't messed it up that bad after all. I smiled to myself thinking about what a momentous day this had been. Of course I started thinking about the wedding, how beautiful Bella looked, but then those thoughts quickly turned to Bella taking off her panties and Bella kneeling in front of me, and Bella…

"What's got you smiling so big?" Bella asked me as she had snuck up behind me and wrapped her arms around me.

"Just thinking about you." I replied honestly and smiled at her.

"Yeah, well we'll have plenty of time to 'think' later, Alice is going to break down the door if we're not downstairs in 15 minutes." She smiled and kissed my nose before walking away.

We were riding down in the elevator, Bella was leaning against me and I was staring at her. She looked so beautiful in her blue dress. It was a light blue and it matched my shirt. Do I even need to clarify that it was Alice's doing? I didn't think so. I was wearing a blue, polo shirt with my initials monogrammed on the sleeve. Much to the chagrin of my sister, Bella was able to rein her in a bit over the formality.

We walked into the restaurant and I admit it was fancier than I thought it would be. I suppose this is one of the things that Alice had won on, not that there were any real losers, the restaurant was very nice.

Everyone else was already seated at the big, round table. Everyone who had been at the wedding had stayed to have dinner with us. I could hear Jacob's loud voice telling a story and Rosalie's overbearing voice trying to talk over him and Angela was just laughing. I think it was Alice who had jumped up first when she saw Bella and ran to give her a hug. Everyone else did much of the same and I had sat down unnoticed. I thought it was rather funny actually, but Esme had snuck up behind me and kissed my cheek before she sat back down and I couldn't hide my smile.

The table was covered with a dark, linen cloth and there was a big vase of light flowers in the middle. If I hadn't known that Alice had taken Bella's bouquet shortly after the ceremony, having stated that if it was going to be thrown she would've caught it anyway, I would have thought they were the same flowers. It was much like a real reception, but better, more intimate. Every once in awhile I would look over at Bella and she would have the biggest smile on her face and I knew that everything was perfect.

We didn't have our own wedding cake, but at the end of the evening we had all ordered desert. I had ordered the most chocolaty cake I had ever seen and Bella ordered a cheesecake. Currently, I was sitting here eating cheesecake while Bella licked chocolate off her fork. If I wasn't trying, very hard actually, not to stare at her I may have missed my dad whispering into his phone and frowning while he hung up. My father got called away a lot during my life because it was necessary, it was a part of his job, but if it wasn't absolutely necessary then he was never one to be on his phone. I knew it was the end of the night, but I was really hoping he wouldn't have to leave. I felt selfish knowing that the hospital wouldn't have called him unless it was an emergency.

He caught me looking at him and he gave me a smile, but it didn't seem right.

"Everything's fine, I just need to take care of something." He said hastily as he rushed away.

Bella had given me, or rather taken her cake back, and then given me the chocolate cake saying something about a sugar coma. I was finishing it when my father came back from being gone for several minutes. Before I could say anything I noticed a quartet had set up nearby and my father gave us a toast, although no one was really drinking.

"I wish both of you the very best." He said quickly before sitting back down. It was short and sweet and it looked like he would have said more if his emotions had not gotten the best of him. I could count on one hand how many times I've seen my father cry, but I'm sure I couldn't begin to fathom how many times I hadn't. He was an emotional man and a romantic man. I knew in that moment he was thinking about Mom. I had wished so many times that she could've met Bella, that she could've been here today. I felt Bella squeeze my hand right before the music started.

Canon in D was one of the very first songs I had learned to play. I was enjoying listening to them very much and Bella was watching in awe like she was trying to capture each movement of their bows across the strings. I was making a mental note to play the song for her once we were back home and I had a big smile on my face just thinking about it. I looked up to thank my father for this, but noticed a weird exchange, if you could call it that, between him and Billy. He gave Billy a look, but it was more of a sideways glance, and he gave my father a shrug that was more of a twitch of his shoulder. It was something that Bella would've said I was being paranoid about and when I looked to see if she had noticed anything she was still listening to the music with rapt attention.

We had spent a lot of time talking and visiting. Bella had spent most of the night laughing and it made me happy to see her so happy. Sam had to work early in the morning, so him, Emily, and Jacob and Billy, who had rode with them, left first. Ben and Angela left not too long after them and we were going to go back up to our room soon after that, but time had gotten away from us. I hadn't realized how late it was until I noticed Bella yawning.

When we were finally back in our room Bella collapsed on the bed seconds after we walked in. I would be lying if I said I was ready to go to sleep, but I couldn't be mad at Bella for how tired she was, I just wished we had been able to come back earlier, but that wasn't really true because we both had a great time.

I took my time in the bathroom getting ready for bed and then quietly made my way out to the TV. I figured I could find a show that would put me to sleep since I was still so excited from the day, I didn't feel like I could ever go to sleep.

It must have been a really boring show because the next thing I realized I was waking up to Bella sitting on my lap. She was wearing this awesome, see-through nighty, it was very see-through and very awesome, although I think she referred to it as sheer and a negligee.

"Going to sleep so soon?" She asked me.

"Not going to sleep, but definitely going to bed."

I stood up quickly with her still in my lap and she let out a squeal as I carried her to the bed for the second time. I think I liked this whole marriage thing.

A/N –

I apologize for any mistakes; I know the beginning of the chapter got a lot more of my attention than the end.

I am, admittedly, a novice lemon writer. Of course it is always fun to write in adolescent, male point of view, but this is especially true when I get to talk about where I put my dick. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed it. Most of the on the bed Edward dialogue I heard in the smooth speech of Ryan Phillipe's character from Cruel Intentions. No offense, Rob, but Ryan has always been my Edward.

Yes, I did the cliché 'Bella has a salon trip and surprises Edward with a hairless bajango'. I am not ashamed. ;)

Raging Hard On – Isn't a phrase I use often because it evokes images of a big, angry penis kind of just running around and growling or something.

Bella's Dinner Dress – link on profile

We will break 800 reviews which makes Betward's cock hard just thinking about it (yeah, it does!), so I'll offer a prize to #800 (as I do with all the hundred milestones)…name cameos have been popular, but a special teaser, a lemony outtake perhaps. I'm pretty open to requests. ;)

Next chapter will be in BPOV and should be up by tomorrow, perhaps sooner, I can probably be persuaded. ;)

Reviews are better than wedding night sex with Betward…yeah I know, but still review? :)
