A/N: Well everyone, this story is winding down. I'm going to write this chapter and then an epilogue. I hope you have enjoyed the "ride" as much as I have. I cannot believe this project that I started as a way to keep me busy has turned out as well as it has. I'll be posting the epilogue fairly quickly after this chapter. I'll also be keeping the idea of a sequel open and possible in the future. For now, I'm turning my efforts to my second fan fiction. It will be an all human story. Please check it out and let me know what you think of that one as well.

(Breaking Dawn is only a few short weeks from hitting the shelves, and I will be busy reading all 758 pages as soon as I can. Hope you are able to get the book on the 2nd.)

DISCLAIMER: I wish….

PS: there is a lemon or two in this chapter, so be forewarned.

Edward lifted me off my feet as the elevator doors opened on the top floor. His lips never left mine as he carried me to the doorway a few feet from the elevator. He opened the door and carried me bridal style over the threshold and into a beautifully decorated room. Edward's lips released mine so I could take in the beauty of the room. There were read and white candles scattered around the room. These gave off the only light in the room. Among the candles were pink and red rose petals laid in a path to the bathroom and to the massive bed. The bedding on the bed was in red and black satin.

"Edward, it's beautiful. Perfect even." I breathed as I took in the beauty that was surrounding me.

"It is nothing compared to you and your beauty my Bella. I hope you will forgive me for using the cliché of rose petals and candles. You deserve so much more than that. I want to give you everything life has to offer." His eyes were smoldering with love and lust as he spoke.

I crashed my lips into his. "It's wonderful, Edward. There is nothing to forgive. You are too good to me," I told him.

"Now, Bella. You have that backwards. It is you who are too good for me. I don't deserve an angel like you." Even though he had spoken those words to me before, my heart still swelled with love for this man beside me. My husband.

I gently and lovingly grasped his hand and entwined our fingers. He pulled our hands to his mouth and kissed each of my fingers, ending on my ring finger with my wedding band now firmly in place. He led me towards the bathroom where inside the doorway were more candles and a large tub filled with bubbles. He turned to face me and being the true gentleman he is, asked if he could remove my wedding gown. I giggled and nodded, knowing if I was still human I would be blushing.

Edward quickly removed my gown from my body leaving me in my white corset and panties. I mentally made a promise to myself to thank Alice again for helping choose the perfect "under outfit" because the look on Edward's face as he looked over my body was worth it. He wasn't even touching me, but my skin was shivering in anticipation.

I reached over to my love and removed his jacked. My fingers began a new task quickly unbuttoned his shirt as I placed butterfly kisses on his jaw line and neck. I pushed the shirt over his shoulders and left his marble chest exposed to me. He entwined our fingers again and pulled me into a tight embrace. Our arms wrapped around each other as our tongues fought in a passionate battle. Finally, I reached down and unbuckled his pants, letting them fall to the floor. Edward stood before me in his silk boxers. I let my fingers dance along his waistband and just grazing underneath the material of the elastic.

His fingertips began exploring my skin, starting along my collarbone and moving south along my back and sides. He reached behind me and unzipped my corset, letting the garment fall to the floor. His hands cupped me and my body immediately began to react. I could feel my temperature rising with each moment passing as his hands rubbed and touched me.

I reached under his boxers and felt the length of his arousal. As my hands touched his skin, he let out a moan which I caught in my mouth. My lips and his began their dance, occasionally letting our tongues share in the action. His hands cupped me and I knew he could feel my heat through the thin material separating my skin from his. It didn't take long before he was pushing my panties down my thighs. I followed his lead and pushed his boxers down his thighs. We stepped out of our underwear and stood naked before each other.

Edward lifted me off the tile floor and set me into the warm water inside the large tub. I laid back, leaning my head along the side where two towels were set up as a soft pillow. Edward stepped into the water and moved his body so he was hovering over me in the water. I could feel him at my entrance and he looked into my eyes as if he was asking permission. I smiled at him as my hands reached up to pull him closer to me. He entered me and I immediately felt the pleasure spread from my center throughout my body. I could feel a rumble in the back of my throat begin and I realized quickly that I was purring. Edward smiled at me as he created a sensual rhythm. Edward was soon purring with me as our pleasure escalated. I could feel myself getting close to my release and Edward must have sensed it because he began thrusting into me at a faster pace. This new pace was faster than humanly possible and it took only seconds to send me over the edge, bringing Edward with me. Our moans and screams echoed off the tiles in the bathroom.

After we came back down, Edward pulled out of me and stood up. Water began cascading down his body as he pulled me up. We stepped out of the water and used two fluffy towels to dry each other. Edward wrapped me in his arms after he was satisfied I was dry enough and carried me back into the bedroom. He set me down on the bed and turned on the stereo in the corner of the room. The CD he made me those many years ago began playing. My lullaby was the first song, and as he walked back towards me, I didn't think it was possible for me to love anyone else more than I loved Edward.

Edward laid beside on the bed and began aimlessly tracing patterns on my skin. I began purring again and smiled over at my husband. I quickly moved so I was straddling his hips. He looked up at me with love and excitement as I positioned myself above him. His hands trailed up and down my sides occasionally stopping at my chest. I made no movement as his hands wandered around my skin. He moved his hands to my hips and attempted to move me down onto him. I held myself up and he whimpered in protest to my newborn strength. I laughed and lowered myself on him. I rocked my hips and set the pace for this round. It didn't take long before Edward was helping me move at an impossible pace, and once again we were carried away by waves of pleasure.

We spent the night making love all over the room. As dawn approached, we lay tangled in each other's arms. I listened to his breathing and I could almost hear his heart beating within his chest. We spent hours in happy silence just holding one another. I knew we would eventually have to get up and get dressed but for now I was content to just stay in Edward's arms. I would be content staying like this forever.

Eventually we did untangle ourselves and get dressed. I didn't have too many clothes to choose from, but selected a cute little dress that Alice and Rose had picked for me. We waited until the sun had gone down that evening before heading towards the airport. We were going to return to Forks. Edward had explained that we would have to move as a family. I would have been happy to stay in Forks for a while, even if it meant hiding out in the house. I obviously couldn't come out in public seeing how my funeral was tomorrow, but I realized with my power, it would be easy to interact with humans wherever we went. As I boarded the plane back to Washington with my family. I realized that I felt safe and content for one of the first times in my existence. I knew I would be happy and loved no matter where I lived, as long as I was with Edward and the Cullens.

Edward was my soul mate. Most people search forever and are lucky if they find their soul mate. I was truly blessed, because I not only found my soul mate, but I found my home. Although it wasn't totally conventional, I found my home with seven vampires, and I would spend forever showing them how thankful I was to them and hopefully, I could show them all the love I held for them.

Oh, and while I am at it, I will show Edward everyday why I want to spend my life with him.

Remember to review please. It'll help me to decide whether or not to write a sequel or not.
