Hiding Bella

Chapter 25

Edward's POV

"What are you doing here Tanya?" I ground out from my clenched teeth, ready to kill her; this was supposed to be our special day.

"Why…I am here to congratulate the half breed of course, it takes a lot to take a man from me." I was never yours, was all I could think.

"I was never your man!" Man this bitch needs to disappear!

"Well, you would have been if this mongrel hadn't gotten in my way." Everyone including the pack was growling at her now.

"Don't you ever talk about my wife like that!" Bella's hand restrained me from lunging at her.

"Edward, I have to do this myself and you have to let me. I need to do this, you can't always save me. Please?"

She was right, she needed this for closure, it tore me up inside to let her defend herself, it just felt wrong. I'll let her try, but if at any time she looks like she's going to lose, I'm going to step in to defend her. I couldn't and wouldn't let her take away my Bella.

"Tanya outside now!" You could see the anger in Bella's eyes when she screamed and the look of surprise on Tanya's face.

"Oh, what you're going to finally stand up for yourself?" Why yes she is!

"Yes, now outside!" You could tell Bella didn't want this to happen in front of the guests.

I couldn't agree more, I did not want to explain this to the minister or Ben and Angela.

We all watched as Bella walked quietly behind Tanya into the woods out front. I followed without even thinking twice, so did Eleazar, Kate, Irina and Carlisle. Esme and Carmen ushered the rest of the guests out the back door. Bella may need to do this alone, but that did not mean we would not be there for her. By the time we caught up with them Bella was just standing there shaking, while Tanya was calling her every dirty name that came to mind. Bella was about to explode, I had seen her do this before it was not going to be pretty.

"ENOUGH! You bitch! I've had enough of the poison that comes out of your mouth!" That's right Bella stand up for yourself!

"Ooowww so, what are you going to do about it? Face it your human side makes you a pathetic excuse for a vampire. Why else would Eleazar hide you from the people he calls family?" That was a low blow!

"Are you jealous that they are my family now? Are you a sore loser because Edward didn't want you like he wants me?" She was right; in my eyes Tanya could never hold a candle to my Bella.

"It's his loss if he wants to settle for a second class wife. You're the one who's jealous because you know if he slept with me once, he would never want you again." That is so not happening!

That was the breaking point for Bella as she screamed a feral growl that I had only heard once before and it's still something I never wanted to hear again. The trees were shaking from the strength of her bellow. I felt like my head would explode from the force at which her mind was moving and dragging my brain along for the ride. Normally I love being in her mind, but when she's like this it physically hurts, that's when she threw me out with so much force that I had to grab my head as it felt like it would explode.

In less than an eighth of a second, Bella had Tanya's body flying through the air and colliding with a tree, causing the tree to give way from the sheer force and crashing down to the ground around Tanya. Before Tanya could even recover, Bella grabbed her by the arm and swung her into the next tree in line, but this time Bella did not let go and Tanya's right arm snapped clean off from the momentum.

"Had enough tramp?" Bella has never spoken back to Tanya, this was definitely a first. It was something I was glad to see with my own eyes.

Tanya was snarling when she answered." Not even close mongrel!" I really did not like her saying that to my wife!

This time it was Tanya who lunged first, only to have Bella leap and vault right over her, giving Bella a perfect shot at Tanya's remaining arm. Tanya never saw it coming when Bella spun and tore it off. Tanya was finally screaming from the pain of losing both her arms.

"Still think I'm weaker because I'm half human?" Bella's back flip had her landing behind Tanya; she grabbed her by the neck and waited for her answer.

"NO! I give, you win!" Tanya screamed as she slumped to her knees, whimpering in pain. Bella couldn't finish her after that; she was never heartless enough to murder someone. The minute Bella turned her back; Tanya rolled over and attempted to kick her, but was stopped by Kate of all people. Watching her wither in pain as Kate shocked her over and over had me wincing. The second Bella was in my arms she opened up to me again.

"Edward I can't take her life, no matter how bad she hurt me or us. I was raised to respect life and I cannot take her miserable excuse for a life. I just can't…" I felt so bad for her at that moment; she was torn between right and wrong.

"Bella its okay, I love you and it's going to be okay."

"Eleazar we leave this up to you, but if you decide not to end her, I will if she ever comes near my wife again. We're going back to our guests and enjoy our wedding."

I didn't wait for him to tell me his decision before I started leading Bella back to the house. When we reached the house, Bella froze and started to panic about her appearance. She never gave her dress a second thought when she started fighting with Tanya.

"Bella relax, you're perfect, not a hair out place. You look absolutely stunning and I love you so much." I left out the part where I wanted nothing more than to tear the dress right off her now that she was mine!

Shyly she blushed as she said, "I love you too."

The minute we entered the house Alice was waiting for us, she was as amazed as was I that Bella's dress was completely unscaved. Alice, of course, had to primp and fluff everything while we waited for everyone else to join us.

Bella's POV

Having Edward ogle me was definitely something I could get use to because honestly, I could not stop ogling him either. Tanya's arrival, I will admit really pissed me off and caused me to lose control, which is something I haven't done since before we left for Italy. Afterwards, I felt so bad for Edward mostly because I know; it hurts him when it happens. However, seeing him smile in the house was heart melting. I decided at that moment that I didn't care what happened to Tanya as long as she was out of our lives forever. Once everyone was back in the house, no one discussed whatever happened with Tanya and I had no intention of asking until tomorrow, right now, all I cared about was celebrating our wedding and that's exactly what we did.

With our hands intertwined, we followed everyone into the yard to start the rest of our evening. Even though our wedding was small, only twenty guests from the pack and our school friend's, it wasn't the size that mattered, it was quality over quantity. We walked out slowly to greet our guests only to receive a standing ovation. This of course had me blushing, but Edward was just beaming with pride as he leaned in slowly and gently placing a loving kiss on my anxious lips. Alice wasted no time in ushering us around to greet everyone personally; before we set off to eat, okay well…I was going to eat with half the guests. The buffet that Esme and Carmen had out was phenomenal with everything from pasta to roast beef. Everyone who ate was extremely pleased with the spread. When dinner was done, we moved on to the cake so it could be cut and distributed while we had our first dance. That little pixie even order a cake for like fifty people, thank god the pack can eat like nobody's business.

The cake was absolutely beautiful, it was a three tier white butter cream frosting and white cake with a strawberry filling. The decorative roses were colored pastel purple to match Alice's gown since she was the maid of honor. Her dress was really beautiful, it was strapless with a sequin bodice and a flitted skirt that went to her knee's and of course it was a one of kind, god forbid she'd wear one off the rack! Since Jasper was the best man, his boutonniere matched Alice's dress. When it came time to feed each other the cake, I think I got carried away because when I put it up to his lips I couldn't help it, I just had to smear it all over his face, I knew he planned on doing it to me. He laughed it off, but I knew what was coming the minute he held it to my mouth and wiggled his eyebrows evilly. With one swift motion, it was in my mouth and up my nose. I never had a chance to respond to his attack before he crushed his lips to mine; there is nothing better than the taste of wedding cake mixed with the flavor of Edward.

We definitely needed a bathroom break to clean up. Once all the evidence of our cake fight was removed, we rejoined the festivities. When my dad came over, I knew it was time for our first ever dance; Edward and Esme joined us for their dance as 'Wind Beneath My Wings' by Bette Midler started playing in the back ground. My dad has never sang a song to me before, but he did today, he sang it from the bottom of his heart as Edward sang it to Esme, yeah…I cried, how could I not. When it ended Edward swept me away for our first dance as husband and wife this time the music was even more personal, it was my lullaby and it made me feel like I was floating. When the music changed, again I found myself handed off to Carlisle, then of course to every other male guest at the wedding, while Edward was passed to every female guest. When all was said and done, I ended up being passed to the one place I wanted to be, in Edward's waiting arms. It wasn't long before Edward swept me up into his arms and said, "it's time to go." I had to ask, "Where are we going?" His reply was simple "home."

We waved goodbye to everyone as Edward started walking towards the back of the property, after a few seconds Edward started running. I had no idea where we were running to, but I really didn't care. When he came to a stop, I was flabbergasted, before me stood a stone cottage, complete with a flower garden and miniature pond. I just stared at it with my mouth open; I was not quite sure what to say at this point. When Edward tapped my forehead, I realized he was waiting for a response.

"Edward…what is this place?"

"It's our home, just me and you my love." He cocked an eyebrow waiting for me to answer.

"Edward, it's the most beautiful home I've ever seen. It's really ours?"

"Yes, I had help but I built it just for us, do you really like it?"

"No…I don't like it, I love it, and I love you!"

"Good, now let's go inside and I'll show you just how much I love you or would you like a

tour first?"

Edward's POV

"The tour can wait; I want to show you how much I love you too." Yeah, she really shouldn't have said that.

Before Bella could blink, I swept her across the threshold, down the small hall and into our new bedroom. She was giggling at my enthusiasm. I silenced her giggle when I sweetly wrapped my lips around hers and before she turned her head to deepen the kiss; the rhythmic dance of our tongues had my desire to remove her dress in overdrive. Trying as hard as possible to not tear it off her, I slid the zipper down as quickly as possible. Bella was already trying to remove my tux in the same fashion. Before we knew it, our clothes were in a heap on the floor. Taking a moment to just savor the sight of my wife in all her naked glory had Bella feeling self-conscious. I said the only thing I was thinking "beautiful" this of course caused her to blush. Bella also took a moment to analyze my naked form. She breathe out "magnificent" before pulling me in for a desperate kiss

For the first time since I met Bella, my hands were allowed free rein to roam anywhere and everywhere, and first stop was Bella's absolutely marvelous breasts they were perfect in every way. They were the perfect size when I cupped them in both my hands causing me to releasing a soft hiss. Bella was also in search of my body until she found the one thing she has wanted since she discovered sex. I didn't even bother suppressing the growl that escaped me the minute her hand wrapped firmly around me and started stroking slowly. I, of course, reciprocated the favor by letting my hands explore the source of her intimate body heat. For the first time I allowed myself to explore deeper then the upper fleshy surface. Slowly I slipped in my first finger to test the waters; this caused Bella to moan in agreement. Her stroking increased with the pleasure she was feeling, so I slipped in another finger. Watching my wife's reaction to this small act had me in awe of her yet again. She was making the beautiful faces as she withered under my hand, not to mention hearing her repeatedly mumbling my name.

"Um…Edward…yes…please…" was all I needed to hear before I picked up my pace trying my best to hold myself back until she had enjoyed this all the way to the end. Once I started nuzzling and suckling on her breast, she was unable to stop, hearing her chant as she allowed the pleasure to overtake her.

"Ah, ah, ah, I-I, oh, oh… EDWARD!" was music to my ears. She looked a little heart broken when I separated from her hand and moved to hover over her. I kissed the sad look off her face as I slid myself to her source, teasingly at first while I kissed her senseless. I kept reminding myself slowly, slowly, slowly as I nudged my way in very gently before pausing, just before I whispered, "I am so sorry baby girl, but I have to" and with one sharp, quick thrust I tore through her barrier. Hearing her whimper caused me to pause and wait for her to adjust to my size. I searched out her eyes to see if she was in too much discomfort, but she was just frozen, waiting.

"Bella are you okay?" I whispered in her ear.

"I love you Edward, it's okay, I'm okay now." After she breathed that out, she slowly started moving beneath me. God the feeling of her hips moving around me was beyond belief.

I couldn't stop myself as I joined her in the rhythmic movements that were bringing both of us to a heavenly frontier. Before I knew it, I was mumbling incoherently, " tight-wet-love-mine-forever-" Bella's mind was just as bad with thoughts like "big-hard-more-husband" coupled with her moans had me quickly reaching my peak and taking Bella along for the ride. I couldn't help but growl out "BELLA!" as she clamped down around me screaming "EDWARD!" It was the single most beautiful moment of my very short sexual life. I couldn't wait to do it again!
