Chapter Thirty-Four

Bella P.O.V

"Why are you being so quiet?" Edward asked as we walked along Homestead park. I looked up from the snowy Juneau ground to smile at him and shrug, though I knew that I was lying. Tomorrow we would be going home to Seattle and I couldn't wait to see Emmett and Charlie again, except the time alone with Edward had been great. I tightened my hand around Edward's as we walked along the trail.

"I'm not being quiet," I defended.

"Yes, you are. And I know why," Edward smirked, making me frown. I wouldn't want to admit it to him, but I really was being distant and quiet. The walk along the park had been beautiful, it was easy to get lost in your thoughts from the trees and nature around us. I gasped in awe as the end of the trail led to the river side, which was peaceful and stunning. "Wow," Edward whispered as I began to take pictures.

"Look we can sit there," I said, pointing to a large rock near the water. We sat there for what seemed like a lot longer than it actually was, and held each other's hands, enjoying the peace we would have before going home. I didn't look forward to the stress of packing all my stuff and the horrible plane ride home, it would be excruciatingly boring.

"Would you like to go back to the car?" Edward asked, standing up. I followed him back along the trail, leading to our car, where he drove to a local pizzeria for dinner. It had the best pizzas I had ever ate in a long time and I finished all mine, while Edward had two. After dinner, we went back home to our cabin. I decided to relax in the Jacuzzi, while Edward began packing our things away.

"Come in!" I called to Edward as he knocked on the bathroom door, making sure that the bubbles were covering me.

"What's this?" He asked, making my eyes widen. He was holding my babydoll lingerie set that I had bought with Alice at Victoria Secret. I had bought many that day and wore them during our trip, though the one he was holding was the worse out of my collection. It was short, black, see through and looked tiny in Edward's large hands. My cheeks blushed bright red as I watched Edward look confused.

"Uh..." I trailed off, not knowing what to say. I didn't think Edward liked it, though when he smirked glancing between myself and the nightie, I realized that he liked it. No, he loved it. He had a silly grin on his face, making me smirk as he looked the most malicious I had ever seen him before. I leaned forward in the Jacuzzi, pulling myself close to Edward. "Would you like me to wear it?" I asked.

"Sure, if you want. I guess," he shrugged, trying to down play how much he loved it. I got out of the Jacuzzi and wrapped a towel around my body, pushing Edward out of the bathroom, but taking the babydoll off him. I applied some basic make-up, before pinning up my hair and drying off my body, making sure that I looked decent. I put on the tight, see through babydoll and avoided all the mirrors in the bathroom.

"Edward?" I called, opening the door.

"Uh, yeah?" He asked back, his voice sounding shaky. I took one step outside, into the bedroom, where Edward lay on our huge, white bed, looking shocked. He gulped and leaned forward, trying to get a better look at me. I walked closer to the bed and laid next to him, blushing at how embarrassing this was, but Edward looked happy with it.

"Do you like it?" I asked.

"I love it," he answered immediately, making me giggle. His arms wrapped around my waist, pulling me closer to him. I could feel his jeans tighten up as I laid in his lap, my chest right in his face. "There is only one thing I love more than you with this on..." Edward trailed off, lacing his hands in with the bottom of my babydoll. He pulled it over my head, leaving me in only my panties. "And that it you naked," he finished, leaning up to kiss me.

"Edward!" I laughed as he twisted me around, meaning that he was now on top of me. His lips were back on mine, teasing and sucking. I groaned as his hands trailed down my body, making me squirm in the bed. I pulled his white t-shirt over his head, so that my hands could feel his ripped, defined chest that I loved so much. The next thing I knew, he was naked too.

I could feel Edward moving beside me, though I was so exhausted from earlier on, that I couldn't even open my eyes to check. I was in a state between conscious and unconscious, until I heard something different. At first it was his heavy breathing, close to snoring, until it was relaxed again. I felt him shift from the bed and get up, then search around the room for something.

"Edward?" I asked, sounding tired.

"Go back to sleep," he ordered, putting on his t-shirt.

"Why?" I asked. "Did you have another nightmare?"

"No, I just can't sleep. But you go on," he whispered.

"Okay," I mumbled, feeling too tired to even know what I was saying.

"I love you," was the last thing I heard him say.
