This chapter gets a little lemony so…. You have been warned!
I stood there stunned for a moment. I was totally NOT expecting that bomb. Now that it was out there, I had yet another choice to make.
Well dumbass you did ask for a choice that wasn't life or death. My brain taunted me. Well I guess in a way it is….but at the same time it wasn't. Living with out Edward was not life; it was death in a way. Whether I was a vampire or human I couldn't live without him anymore.
It felt like a proverbial light bulb came on in my head and it lighted the path I was destined to follow. The more I though about it… the more I realized the choice had already been made, long before this exact moment. It is kinda weird that my dad knew long before I did.
I belonged with not only Edward but also the Cullen's PERIOD. This right here right now is where I was meant to be. With Edward and the Cullen's forever.
I don't know why but I was slightly amazed by this realization. In awe, even. My face must have shown my complete and udder amazement because the sound of Edward laughing brought me back to earth.
"Are you ok?" He asked chuckling.
"Yes." I answered ignoring his question.
He smirked at me, "Yes you are ok or yes you will marry me?"
"Both." I answered smiling and shaking my head.
The emotions that appeared on his face were priceless and they changed from one to the other so fast it was almost comical. Happy, ecstatic, joy, contentment and about a million more flashed in rapid succession.
"You will marry me?" He asked again as that sexy smirk graced his beautiful features.
I nodded unable to answer with words anymore, as every emotion I had been fighting to keep in check, flooded out in happy tears.
"I love you Bella." He said as his lips crashed against mine. I could feel the love pouring out of him as he held my face and kissed me.
He broke the kiss for a moment and began wiping the tears from my eyes. He then kissed my forehead, then each cheek, then again grazed my lips with his.
I closed my eyes momentarily taking everything in. Then whispered, "Forever, Edward."
I opened my eyes and he was looking at me curiously.
"Forever?" He asked quietly.
I met his gaze and held it. It's now or never Swan, just let it out! I mentally berated myself. I took a deep breath and did just that.
"Forever Edward. I want to be with you forever…"
"Wait are you saying what I think you are saying?" He interrupted again searching my face for the answers he wanted.
"Well silly if you would have let me finish." I said smirking at the excited expression on his face.
"Well then by all means finish." He said smiling then settling himself next to me on the bed still holding my hand and trying to look like he was waiting patiently but failing miserably.
"I love you Edward. I always have but I just recently discovered just how deeply I was in love with you, or maybe rediscovered would be the better term…" I trailed off thinking for a moment.
"Bella PLEASE…" Edward whined, "This is one of those moments I wish I could read that pretty little mind of yours!" He said pouting.
I chuckled to myself and shook myself mentally. "I'm sorry." I replied taking his other hand in mine. "I want to be your wife and love you forever. I am not saying I want you to do it right now, but soon I … I want you to change me Edward. So I can love you forever, literally."
He pulled a small velvet box out of his pocket. Opened it and extracted the ring. It had three diamonds on it, starting out small then getting bigger. The one on the end being the largest.
He took the out of its velvet bed and slipped it onto my finger.
"The smallest represents our past, even though we deem it unimportant, it helped make us each who we are. The middle one represents the present, larger and more important. The last one represents our future, large and bright and as long as we have each other it, just as the stone, will be perfect." He finished speaking then placed a kiss on my hand.
I didn't notice I was still crying until he looked up and our eyes locked.
"No more tears my love." He said as he pulled me into his arms and held me tightly. He once again kissed my forehead, then my eyes, then each cheek, finally reaching my lips, where he lingered for a moment, before deepening the kiss.
I twisted slightly in his lap until I was straddling him, locking my legs behind his back, and then wrapping my arms around his neck holding his lips to mine, one hand grasping his hair as he did the same with mine. His other hand ghosted down my back and finally rested half on my hip half cupping my ass.
I have never wanted him more than I did at that moment. I moaned with contentment as our tongues danced together. He pulled me a little closer with the hand he had on my ass.
That's the first time I FELT Edward Cullen.
To say I was surprised would have been an understatement. He didn't break the kiss but shifted slightly causing the huge bulge in his pants to push up against my core, causing me to gasp. Then breaking the kiss he trailed kisses down my neck, licking and nipping gently as he went. I turned to putty in his hands and GOD help me.. I wanted him to mold me.
I groaned and fisted his hair as he began kissing lower on my neck. Pushing my or rather his shirt down to just above my breasts and continued his assault, licking, sucking and nipping at the tender exposed flesh. He brought his hands up gently cupping my breast, and I could do nothing but hold on for dear life.
"Mmmm Edward…" I whispered breathlessly. He looked up and our eyes locked once again just as he ran his palm across my hardened nipple. I arched my back trying desperately to get closer to him, my eyes rolled to the back of my head and I tried to concentrate on staying conscious and breathing.
He gently rolled my nipple between his fingers through the shirt. Then bending his head he took my nipple into his mouth, shirt and all, biting gently. I gasped and I could tell he smiled at my reaction.
Before I could react or say anything else I was on my back and Edward was hovering above me, he paused for a moment looking into my eyes. His eyes were half hooded and coal black with lust. He seemed to be searching for something and I was just getting frustrated that he stopped.
"What's wrong? Why did you stop?" I struggled to ask breathlessly, slightly annoyed that he did stop.
"Absolutely nothing… it's just…are you sure?" He asked. He looked slightly scared himself and that reassured me for some reason.
"Make love to me Edward…Please?" I asked him or maybe slightly begged him, either way one thing was certain. I wanted Edward.
"But what if…"
"Edward I don't care. If it happens it happens. I trust you." I finished and began running my hands over his chest then down his abs. I felt the muscles tense and move through the shirt as my hand glided up and down his chest. I got to the hem of his shirt and gently and slowly slid my hands underneath his shirt to feel the cool marble beneath my hands that was Edward.
Before I could ask he pulled his shirt off and tossed it across the room and exposed the flesh I had been teasing. He was beautiful, and I wanted him more now than I did before, if that was even possible.
His broad shoulders held him above me, kneeling between my legs but making no contact. That had to change and change quick.
I leaned up slightly and placed gently kisses on his collar bone, I heard him moan, which boosted my confidence a little. I took my hands and ran them over his chest and down his chiseled stomach, watching the muscles jump as I made contact with them.
I heard him growl and I looked up. His eyes were closed and he was smiling, thoroughly enjoying my exploration.
"Bella…" He sighed contently. I continued to touch. I slid my hands around to his back pulling him down. His eyes opened briefly as he let his weight settle onto me. We lined up perfectly and as he lowered himself down on top of me his bulge seemed to get bigger as it pressed once again against my fully clothed soaking wet core.
I wanted more. I needed more. I ran my hands down his back and grabbed his ass, trying desperately to get closer to him.
His mouth was suddenly on mine again. He unwrapped my arms from around him, pinning them above my head with one hand. The other ran down my side down to my thigh, which he grasped and lifted it up slightly wrapping it around his hips, bringing more contact and more much needed friction between us.
As I moaned with pleasure his mouth was back on mine. I could feel his need and desire with each kiss, with each stroke of his tongue, and I matched it.
He kissed his way along my jaw line. Pausing momentarily to nibble on my earlobe before whispering to me. "Don't move."
I nodded and he let go of my hands. He licked his way down my neck, pausing every now and then to nibble or suck gently, until he reached the collar of the shirt. He released my leg to grasp the shirt collar with both hands, then he smiled wickedly at me. Before I could ask he ripped the shirt straight down the middle and exposing my breast to him. I squeaked in surprise of his actions.
He paused for a moment gazing at me. "So beautiful…" He whispered before he brought his mouth down to suck gently on my hardened nipple. Unable to help myself I arched my back and grabbed his hair, trying to force him closer.
He chuckled, "You never could listen." He mumbled as his tongue teased me. He brought his other hand up to play with my other breast gently rolling the nipple between his thumb and pointer finger. My body felt like it was on fire for him and even though his body was cold, I didn't feel it. All I felt was his hands and his mouth on me.
He spent a few minutes going back and forth between my breasts, never breaking contact with me. The more he teased, the more I wanted. I practically cried with satisfaction as he slid a hand down my stomach and into my panties.
He groaned as his fingers found my soaking wet core.
"So wet for me Bella." He whispered then gently blowing on my erect nipple and gently teasing my sensitive clit. I about exploded as he gently ran his fingers in between my wet folds and sank one finger inside me.
"Oh my god! Edward…mmmm.. more" I screamed as I tried to reach down and touch him through his jeans. He stopped his teasing momentarily to look at me shaking his head.
"No love, not this time. Let me love you this time. You can play next time… I want to make sure this is as enjoyable for you as it is for me. I have been told you will have some discomfort…"
I silenced him by kissing him, hard, trying to show him just how much I was already enjoying this. He growled again and before I could say anything else or kiss him another time, my pants and panties were slid off.
He smiled wickedly at me then began to kiss his way down slowly. Lingering momentarily on each nipple then kissing his way down to my wet pussy. He wrapped his arms around my legs, pulling me closer, then spread my folds and began attacking my clit with his tongue.
Before long I could feel something building, from deep inside me.
"Oh….My… Edward… I… thi…Cumming…" I rasped out while grabbing his hair before exploding. I saw stars. Shit I may have seen god but as I floated back to earth I felt him shift and momentarily he was gone.
I whimpered but before I could ask him where he was going he was back above me. Kissing my neck while one hand snaked around my waist lifting me slightly. That's when I felt his cock rubbing against my clit. I gasped as I looked into his eyes.
"I love you Isabella Marie, and I promise to love you forever, no matter what." With that said he continued to look into my eyes as he gently and slowly started to push himself inside me.
I closed my eyes trying to enjoy the sensation. It was only slightly uncomfortable as I stretched to accommodate his large intrusion. I felt him pause just as he came to the barrier that, once passed, would make me a woman in every sense of the word.
"I love you Edward." I rasped out, trying to remain as still as possible as I opened my eyes to look at Edward's beautiful face. His eyes were closed and he seemed to be trying to regain his composer.
Edward took one deep breath, then opened his eyes to meet mine.
"Forever." He said then still looking into my eyes he thrust one last time, burying himself deep inside me.
I stiffened momentarily as a wave of pain shot through me, I closed my eyes and took a few deep breaths. After a few moments the pain began to lessen and I reopened my eyes to meet Edward's look of worry as he remained utterly still, still buried deep inside me, twitching trying to hold still long enough for me to adjust.
"Are you ok?" He asked and I answered by moving my hips experimentally. I was fine… MORE than fine actually.
"Yes….oh.. Please… Edward.. Move…Now." I panted and begging him to move. Slowly he pulled back then plunged back forward. Slowly at first then getting faster.
"Oh god Bella…" He whimpered as he moved. I wrapped my legs around his back and locked them, as he held my hips and quickened the pace.
Moments later I felt my orgasm building again as I heard him gasp. "Cum with me love, I am so close.."
That's all that I needed before I exploded around him, with him still buried to the hilt deep within me. Seconds later I felt him tense, then begin to pulse deep inside me as I clung to him for dear life. I never wanted this moment to end.
Moments later he collapsed on top of me and I smiled. Eyes closed, I felt like I was floating on cloud 100, screw cloud nine that wasn't good enough.
He rolled off of me after a few minutes, pulling out. I frowned at the loss as he pulled me up against him, holding onto me like I was the most precious thing in the world.
"Are you ok?" He whispered into my ear as he held me close.
"I am perfect…" I replied as I yawned.
I could feel him smile from behind me.
"Sleep then my love, we will talk more tomorrow."
And that's what I did. I drifted to sleep laying naked, content, sated, and where I belonged.
In Edward's arms.
