What Becomes of the Brokenhearted?

Chapter 37

EPOV

"Fuck," I panted into the crook Bella´s neck between staggered breaths.

Christ it can´t get any better than this! I thought as I moved in and out of Bella´s tightness with long languid strokes.

My beautiful fiancée…

Jesus it felt good to be able to think that!

Just then I felt Bella clinch around me, and my body tensed as my orgasm shot through me like a rocket. I could feel Bella´s walls pulsing rapidly around my swollen member, and couldn´t hold back. In long thick streams, I gave her the best of me. "Christ," I hissed from the sheer force of it.

Holding nothing back, I gave my beautiful Goddess every inch of my entire being.

I gave her… my soul!

My heart…

My love…

My children…

My life…

I gave until my spent body could no longer support its own weight.

I gave the mother of my children all of me!

Leaving a lingering kiss on the underside of her chin, I tore my lips away from her body, so that I could look her in the eyes.

"Edward," my name fell from her lips like the softest of caresses. The amount of love I saw pouring out of her rich dark chocolate orbs left my senses feeling discombobulated.

I was confused as to why this beautiful, amazing, and all-around fabulous creature wanted a man like me?

Never would I stop trying to prove my love for her!

Every single moment of the rest of my life will be spent showing this beautiful woman how much she means to me. How much her commitment to my children means to me.

Isabella and the twins are my life now, and I won´t hesitate to trade my life in exchange for theirs.

Pulling back on my haunches, I cradled Bella´s body against my heaving chest. Never severing our connection, we continued to ride the waves of ecstasy. I could feel her heartbeat, pounding like a drum. Strong! Powerful! All-consuming!

I feel it too baby… I feel it too!

The passion!

The love!

So thick, it covers like a blanket!

As if she reading my mind, she cups my face and studies it. I see the moment that realization dawns. Big fat tears cascade down her porcelain cheeks, "Edward," she chokes out on a winded breath. "I feel it! I feel it too!"

Overwhelming me, a sense calm washes over me when I realize that those are happy tears; call me a pussy, but I cry too.

We just… hold each other!

And cry…

Together!

Long after our respective releases had subsided we remain joined. Just staring into each other´s eyes, learning… memorizing.

And it´s… it´s… it´s too fucking much!

Too much for me to take in!

But the strain of my rapidly beating heart tells me that I can!

I will!

Sometime later, after kids have been looked in on, and nightly rituals have been taken care of, we lay in bed.

Her front to my back!

And it feels, different, but at the same time, not so much.

Fiancée, I tell myself as if it isn´t obvious.

My mind is a cacophony of adjectives that I want to use to profoundly describe this moment; sadly none of them seem right for the occasion.

So we just lay there. Silently, two bodies, one heart. We´re listening to the sounds of Chicago as they lull us into unconsciousness, and there´s no place else I´d rather be.

I had almost given in to the fatigue and weight of the emotional day, when Bella´s voice floated through the darkness. "I love you, Edward, thank you." Her voice was warm and thick, wrapping around me like my favorite cashmere sweater.

"For what, love? Not that I could ever tire of hearing you say that you love me, but what on earth are you thanking me for?" I asked, nuzzling my nose into her silky tresses and breathing deep.

"For everything," she sighed. "Loving me, wanting to marry me, and most of all giving me two beautiful children to love and call my own. You´ll never know how much you and my babies mean to me."

Fuck, my eyes were starting to glaze over again. I would gladly hand Em and Jazz my man-card if it meant that I could listen to my fierce little lioness talk about her baby cubs in such a protective manner again.

Just when I thought I couldn´t love this fucking woman anymore than I already do, she goes and says shit like that!

"Nonsense, silly girl," I teased subtly trying to lighten the mood. My voice was so thick with emotion, I´m surprised she didn´t call my ass out on it. "You are a gift from God, and we will spend the rest of our lives being thankful that he chose to place you in our lives." I wasn´t a deeply religious person, but I did have to give credit where credit was due.

"Mmm…" she sighed, relaxing deeper into my embrace.

"I love you," I whispered just as her breaths began to even out, "always!" Tightening my hold, I let sleep overtake me

What a perfect end, to a perfect day!

*sighs longingly*

I just thought these two needed a tender moment to consummate their engagement. Let me know if you guys like it. No pressure... I mean, it´s not like I risked my job or anything to get you this update. *cough... review... cough* I´m such a shameless hussy! Ooo... *hears footsteps* Gotta go!

Laterzz:)

Krazi
