Chapter Forty-Eight: Happiness

EPOV

She said yes. We were engaged. I looked at the sleeping angel in my arms. Her long beautiful hair was splayed across the pillows, covering my arm. She looked so content, her face relaxed and her mouth slightly open. I ran my fingers down her arm and looked at her left hand. It was resting on top of my chest. Her engagement ring was sparkling in the early morning sunlight spilling into our room. I couldn't stop smiling as I tenderly ran my fingers over her ring. She was mine, forever. I was so happy. I pressed a kiss to her forehead before I extricated myself from her arms. She sighed and her brow furrowed before reaching for my pillow. She found it and inhaled deeply and settled back to sleep.

I put on my boxers and padded into the living room of the suite. I opened up the drapes of the room and looked out to a sunny Seattle. I took a deep breath and closed my eyes.

"Mom, I know that it's been a while since I've talked to you," I whispered. "Things have been crazy but I wanted to let you know that I'm happy. So incredibly happy. I've met someone. Mom, she's perfect. You would have loved her. She's my soul mate, my other half."

I padded to the huge arm chair and curled up in it. "Her name is Isabella. However, she likes to be called Bella. Her name is perfect for her. It means beautiful in Italian and that's what she is. Beautiful, both inside and out. She has long, dark hair, and deep brown eyes that you can get lost in. She's a musician, like you were. She's actually a music education major at Emerson University. She's brilliant, kind-hearted, selfless, giving and gentle.

"We met on the first day that she moved in. She literally ran into me. I felt this jolt through my body when we touched. To my surprise, that jolt completed me. At the time, I thought nothing of it. However, I was enamored with her beauty. I invited her and my sister, Alice. You remember Alice? The crazy pixie. Anyhow, I invited her and Alice to a party where my band was playing. We wanted to sing this song but we needed a female vocalist. I don't think Jasper would have liked singing in falsetto. So, I asked Alice and she said no. Bella offered and we practiced backstage. Mom, her voice is beautiful. She sounds like an angel. I almost think that she is an angel. Well, we rehearsed and performed for this party. For the first time since you died, my heart felt whole. I didn't feel lost. It was because of my Bella. I was your singer. Bella is mine. She is my singer, my life, my love.

"I knew at that moment that she was it for me. We've had some bumps in the road, but we're happy. She's helped me tremendously in healing and coming to terms with your death. She also guided Carlisle in letting me become a music major. However, we compromised and like Bella I'm a music education major. I begin my classes for my new major this coming semester. I'm so excited.

"However, I'm worried about her, too. She's dealing with an asshole ex-boyfriend. He can't seem to let her go. He kidnapped her the day I flew out to visit her and caused some serious damage to her body and to her spirit. The cops said that he was dead but they didn't find his body. In the back of my mind, I fear that he will return and take my Bella away from me. Mom, I need you to watch over her like you've watched over me. I love her more than my own life and would do anything for her. Absolutely anything to make her happy, make her safe, make her feel loved.

"She'd do the same thing for me. She gave me the most wonderful Christmas present. She worked with Esme and created a set DVDs of our videos of when I was a baby to when you died. I never thought I'd be able to see those videos again, but now I can. Anytime I want. Thanks to my beautiful Bella. Her generosity and heart solidified my decision to do something for her. I was toying with the idea, but after receiving her gift, I made my final choice. To propose.

"I proposed to her last night. I never believed in marriage or all that jazz when I was younger. I never thought I'd get the fairy tale. However, I have. With Bella. I proposed to her and she said yes. She said yes! Mom, I really wish you could meet her. You two would have been so close. Bella has so many qualities that are like you, it's scary. However, she's an amazing woman. So strong, so talented, so loving and she's mine.

"I love you, Mom. I miss you and I wish you could be here. Please watch over Bella and over me," I sniffled. I pulled my knees to my chest and rested my head on them.

"Do you talk to her often?" Bella asked quietly.

I raised my head and looked at my girl all wrapped up in the duvet cover. She had a small smile on her face and she looked guilty. "Not recently, but I wanted to tell her about you. How much did you hear?" I asked.

"Almost all of it," she said as she walked to the chair I was sitting in. I put my legs down and she sat down on my lap, nestling her head under my chin. "I felt you get out of bed and I tried to get back to sleep but failed. Thank you for saying all of those things about me to her."

"Bella, you are the most important person to me now. You'll always be the most important person to me. I needed to tell my mom about the love of my life," I whispered into her hair. "I can't wait until we're together forever."

"We already are, Edward," she said as she traced circles on my chest.

"No. Let me rephrase. I can't wait until I see you walk down the aisle to me in a beautiful white dress and we are legally bound together for the rest of our lives," I clarified. "The ring is the first step for the rest of our lives."

"So, I guess the next logical step is to plan a wedding," she giggled.

"Sounds about right," I said as I tightened my arms around her. "When do want to get married, beautiful?"

"As soon as possible," she breathed. "I can't wait to be Isabella Cullen."

"I can't wait either. We could always go to Vegas like I suggested over the phone," I teased.

"Tempting, Edward. Very tempting. However, I think my family and your family would not be very happy with us in eloping," she replied.

"You know, when you mentioned us eloping over the phone, I had met with the jewelry designer to create your ring that day," I said.

"Really?"

"Yep. I knew I wanted to propose to you. The question was when. The ordeal with Jacob and your amazing present that you gave me solidified my decision to propose on New Year's Eve. I even asked your dad for his permission," I replied truthfully.

"I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall for that conversation," Bella giggled.

"He actually gave his blessing quite willingly. He said that he accepted me as a son when he saw me with you at the hospital, when he said I was already your husband," I told Bella, kissing her forehead. "I did learn something about your dad that morning. Or rather Emmett."

"What?"

"Where Emmett has no filter of inside or outside voice. When I asked your dad if he wanted to see the ring, he boomed just like Emmett," I snorted.

Bella squinted at the clock and got up off my lap. She dug around in her purse and pulled out her phone. She carried her phone and sat back down in my lap. "What are you doing, beautiful?"

"Calling my mom after I take a picture of my gorgeous ring," Bella explained. She snapped a photo and emailed it to her mom. "Edward, this ring is absolutely beautiful. You spent way too much money on me."

"Nah. I would have gotten you something bigger, but I figured that this would be absolute largest you would handle," I laughed.

"Do I want to know how much?" she squeaked.

"Probably not."

"Oh lord," she cried as she buried her head into my chest. "Please tell me that it's less than a year's worth of tuition at Emerson."

"Sorry, can't do that," I replied, wrapping my arms around her shaking body. "Bella, I'd give anything to you. No matter the cost."

Bella groaned and shook her head. "You're incorrigible, Cullen."

"I know, but you love me," I replied, giving her my signature crooked smirk.

"Yes, I do. Here goes nothing," she said as she dialed her mom. She put the phone on speaker and laid it on her knee.

"Hello?" came a male voice.

"Happy New Year, Phil!" Bella said.

"Happy New Year, Bella! Did you do anything fun last night?" he asked.

"I went out to dinner with Emmett, his girlfriend, Rosalie and Edward. We went to Sky City in the Space Needle. It was delicious," Bella replied. "How about you?"

"Your mom and I spent New Year's Eve at home. It's a holiday for young people," he sighed.

"Phil, you're fifteen years younger than my mom. You're young," she giggled.

"Psh, whatever, Bella. I feel like I'm a 107," he replied. "My knees are creaking and I'm thinking I need to retire from baseball."

"I'm sorry, Phil. Is Mom there?" Bella asked.

"Yeah, let me go get her for you. It was good talking to you, Bella," Phil responded politely. He put down the phone and Bella looked at me warily. I gave her a kiss as we waited for Renee to pick up the phone.

"Happy New Year, baby girl!" Renee gushed.

"Happy New Year, Mom," Bella smiled.

"So?" Renee pressed.

Bella raised her brows, "So, what?"

"Do you have some news to share with me?"

"Obviously, you've been talking to Charlie," Bella snorted. She weaved her fingers through mine and took another deep breath. "Last night, at midnight, Edward proposed."

"And…? You're killing me here, Bella," Renee squealed.

"And…I said yes. Check your email and you'll see the ring," Bella beamed.

I faintly heard tapping and a loud gasp. "Holy Crow! That is fucking huge!"

"Mom!" Bella admonished.

"Is Edward with you?" Renee asked.

"I'm here," I replied. "Happy New Year, Mrs. Dwyer."

"Renee, sweetheart. I'm going to be your mother-in-law, so none of this Mrs. Dwyer crap," she teased. "You have fantastic taste, Edward."

"Thank you, Renee. I wanted to get Bella the best and hopefully I succeeded," I replied, kissing Bella's temple.

"Oh, you succeeded alright. I can't wait to see it, live and in person. Both of you need to come to Jacksonville for Easter," Renee invited.

"I was planning on it," Bella agreed. "We'll have to see about Edward."

"I'll be there. I wouldn't miss it for the world, Renee," I said quickly. Bella looked at me with wide eyes. I smiled at her and kissed her soft lips. "I promised Bella that I wouldn't be away from her for any reason. I can get out of the Cullen Easter celebration. They'll understand."

"Fantastic! Oh, Bella, I can't wait to begin planning your wedding. Have you decided on a date?" Renee asked.

"No, not yet. As soon as we figure it out, we'll let you know," Bella explained. I leaned in and began kissing Bella's neck. She whimpered quietly. My mind was thinking of Bella in a white dress, walking toward me and becoming my wife. I was wanting it now. However, I also wanted Bella now. I licked her ear, pulling her earlobe between my teeth, nibbling on her soft skin. "Mom, I have another call. I have to go. I'll call you later this week. I love you."

"I love you, too, Bella. Love you, Edward," Renee said.

I pulled away from Bella's fragrant skin, "Love you too, Renee. See you at Easter." I ended the call and placed the phone on the ottoman in front of us. Bella looked at me and her eyes were dark, almost black. She was still wrapped in the duvet cover and she shifted on my lap so she was straddling my legs. She slipped the cover from her shoulders and underneath she was naked. A low growl escaped my lips as I took her face between my hands and kissed her, slipping my tongue between her lips. Her fingers twisted into my messy hair and she pulled my head back, exposing my neck. She nibbled and licked along the column of my neck. She took my earlobe into her teeth and bit down. I moaned and my hips bucked. My hands moved down her body and grabbed her ass, pressing her heat closer to my cock.

"Bella, I have to feel you around me. I want to make love to my fiancée," I breathed against her hair. I took her face and pressed kisses on her cheeks, jaw and ending with her lips. Bella got up off my lap and tugged at my boxers. I lifted my hips and slid them down my legs. I gently pushed Bella onto the ottoman and I kissed her lips, moving down her body to her breasts. Her body arched and she groaned. My hands moved up her legs and I ran my fingers along her slit. She was so wet. I slipped two fingers into her entrance and began pumping as I kissed and nibbled her breasts and nipples.

"Edward, please. I need to feel you inside me," she begged. I removed my fingers and she moved further back on the ottoman. I lined my cock to her entrance. My eyes met hers and I slid into her warm moist pussy. We both groaned and Bella's head fell back onto the ottoman. I was on my knees and I easily slid in and out of her.

"You are so beautiful, Bella," I purred against her skin as I leaned to press kisses to her chest. "I love you."

"Oh, Edward. I love you so much. Harder, baby," she growled.

I arched a brow and pounded into her body. With one of my hands, I grasped her hips and with the other I rolled her clit. She arched her body and swiveled her hips to the rhythm I created with my fingers. I lifted one of her legs and placed it on my shoulder and I dove in deeper. "Fuck, Bella. You feel so good," I hissed. "I need to feel you come, baby."

"Oh, Edward," she breathed. She lifted her other leg to my shoulder and she squeezed her muscles around my cock. I slammed my member into her and I could feel my body twitch. Her eyes clamped shut and her muscles clenched involuntarily around me. "Oh, my GOD! Harder, Edward."

I pounded and I watched my fiancée come. Her face was contorted in the most erotic of ways and her hands were squeezing her breasts. As I watched her, my dick twitched and I spilled into her. I roared as I came and collapsed against her, breathing heavily. Her legs fell around my waist and she held onto me. "Will it always be this intense, Edward?"

"I certainly hope so. I love you, baby. You always manage to make me feel so good," I breathed. "I've got to be squishing you, but I can't move."

"You're fine, handsome. I love feeling your skin against mine. I feel so safe with you, especially like this," she replied as she wiggled her hips, emphasizing our connection. I was still somewhat hard and her wiggle brought my cock to attention.

Not breaking our connection, I picked up Bella and sat down on the chair. I kissed her beautiful face, focusing my attention on her lips. "I love you, beautiful girl."

She felt me get harder in her body and she swiveled her hips again and thrust her tongue into my mouth. Her hands forcefully tugged on my unruly hair. "I want to feel you come again, Edward. I want to feel your huge cock inside me," she purred against my lips. She moved up and down on my dick, slowly, painfully. I whimpered and locked my eyes with hers. I rocked my hips and pulled Bella's head back. I nipped at her neck and my hands fondled her breasts. She moved with me as I pounded my rock hard member into her body.

"I love the way you feel, Bella. So wet. So tight. Perfect," I growled. "You're mine, baby. As I'm yours."

"Only yours, Edward." She snaked her hand between us and began rubbing her clit. She leaned back and looked down at our connection We watched as I moved in and out of her slick folds. I felt my body tighten and my second release was imminent. "Edward, I'm…shit…" Her muscles clenched around me and she screamed. Her body flushing a delightful pink and I pulled her close to me, kissing her lips, muffling her screams. I felt my cock twitch and I spilled into again. I moaned against her mouth and held her flush to my body. She pulled away and rested her head on my shoulder, her body twitching as we slowly returned from our orgasmic high.

Bella's phone began ringing on the floor and neither one of us wanted to move to get it. We decided to let it go to voicemail. A few moments later, my phone began ringing. I grumbled and Bella got up off my lap, my cock sliding out of her. I moaned and I walked to my phone. It was Emmett.

"What?" I barked.

"Good morning to you, too, sunshine," Emmett laughed. "You got engaged last night. I figured you'd be happy."

"I was happy. About ten seconds ago, before you called," I grumbled as I looked for my boxers.

"Were you getting it on with my sister?" Emmett asked.

"Yes, Emmett I was. I'd like to go back and finish what I started," I retorted.

"Well, too bad. Rose and I are hungry and we want to go down for breakfast. How soon can you and your fiancée be ready to go?" Emmett laughed.

"Um, a half hour or so?" I suggested.

"You have 28 minutes," Emmett said. "No time for sexytime. Besides, she's still my sister and I can still kick your ass."

"I know, Emmett," I retorted. Bella got up and asked for the phone. She was still delightfully naked. I passed the phone to her.

"Emmett McCarty Swan, you are an ass. We will be ready when we're ready," she snapped. "We'll call you. I'm done with my fiancé. He has a blowjob coming to him."

Bella handed me the phone and I tentatively held it back up to my ear, "Em?"

"Take as long as you want. I need to bleach my brain," Emmett squeaked. He clicked off the call and I did the same.

"Remind me to never get on your bad side," I chortled. "About that blowjob?"

After some hot shower sex and an amazing blowjob later, Bella and I got dressed. I was wearing a pair of jeans and a forest green argyle sweater with gray and brown accents. Bella had on a pair of black leggings and a long blue tunic that was draped over her body. She didn't wear her sling, but carried it with her. We headed down to Emmett and Rosalie's room and knocked on their door. Rosalie opened it up.

"I wholeheartedly apologize for my boyfriend. He's a douche," Rose said sincerely. "I was in the shower when he called you and I didn't know he was going to do that."

"It's okay, Rosalie. He got what was coming to him," Bella giggled.

"Yeah, he mentioned something about bleaching his brain. What did you say?" Rose asked.

"I just said that I was going to give Edward a blowjob and that sent his mind into overload," Bella said calmly.

Rosalie blinked and looked at Bella. She looked at me quickly and the returned her gaze to Bella. "You fucking rock, Bella!" Rose exclaimed giving Bella a high five. "Did she follow through?"

"Oh, yeah," I beamed. I slipped my arms around her waist and blew a raspberry to her neck. She giggled and swatted at me. "Best blowjob, ever."

"I just got the idea out of my head. Please stop talking about my sister and blowjobs! I'm going to hurl," Emmett whined.

"Emmett, Edward and I have sex. We do sexual things. Get over it," Bella snapped. "I don't care what you do. However, I do get a sick, perverse kick out of seeing you squirm, brother bear."

"I'm glad you're enjoying yourself, Isabelly. I'm seriously ill over here," Emmett blanched.

"Spit or swallow, Bella?" Rose asked. I snorted and tightened my hold around Bella's waist.

"Rosalie Lillian Hale! I don't need to know that!" Emmett shouted.

"Swallow, Rose. Where would I spit it?" Bella replied calmly. "It actually tastes pretty good." Bella turned and kissed me on my nose. I scrunched my nose and she giggled.

"Enough! Let's go get breakfast before I kick your ass, Bella. Yours too, Cullen," Emmett sneered.

"What did I do?" I squeaked.

"You put your dick in my sister's mouth."

"Oh, no, Emmy. I happily took his dick into my mouth. I've never been pushed to do anything with Edward," Bella chastised.

"You all suck," Emmett grumbled. He picked up his keys and wallet and stomped to the door. "Are we going?"

Rosalie walked over to Emmett and glared at him. She smacked him upside the head and opened the door, heading into the hallway. Bella elbowed Emmett in the ribs and gave him a murderous stare. I shrugged and darted past him, avoiding the impending beating he wanted to give me.

We headed down to the restaurant in the hotel and ordered breakfast. We ate in a comfortable silence. I idly played with Bella's engagement ring as we ate, ecstatic that she did indeed say yes. After breakfast, we headed back to our respective rooms and packed our belongings. I gifted the several dozen bouquet of roses that I had purchased for Bella. We only took one bouquet with us. In return, the hotel took 20% off my final bill. We loaded up the SUV I had rented and drove back to Forks.

Charlie was introduced to Rosalie and he immediately fell in love. We went out to dinner with Charlie and Sue, his girlfriend, the day before Bella and I were returning to New York. We went to a small restaurant in Forks called The Lodge. Bella told Charlie and Sue about my proposal and showed off her engagement ring. Sue gawked and seemed genuinely happy for her. Charlie told us that he had a doctor's appointment and that it had gone well. The most recent scans had revealed that the cancer had been stopped but he still had to go through radiation therapy to prevent the growth of new cells. He also informed us that if he gets a clean bill of health, he'll be returning to work as the Chief of the Forks Police Department as early as June.

We returned to Bella's home and we needed to head to bed early. We had to be on the road by no later than seven to get to the airport. Bella had packed her bags and was ready to go. I just needed to do some last minute packing before going. I finished putting things into my suitcase and we settled to sleep in her tiny bed.

The alarm went off early the next morning. Bella groaned and pulled a pillow over her head. I smacked her ass and got up to shower. I decided not to shave as I was going to spend five hours on a plane. I also slipped a cap over my hair. I wanted to be comfortable.

Bella got up and trudged to the shower. She fumbled in there, but didn't ask for help. I noticed that she didn't wash her hair and she was wearing her glasses. She pulled the cap I had on my head and put it on her head, pulling her ponytail through the back. I narrowed my eyes and tickled her sides. She arched a brow and went to go get dressed. I quickly ran my fingers through my hair and got dressed myself. I put on a pair of old jeans and a t-shirt. I pulled a fleece over my shoulders and slipped on my Chucks. Bella was wearing something similar with jeans, a long-sleeved thermal t-shirt and a fleece. She pulled on a pair of sneakers and pronounced herself ready to go. I zipped up my suitcase, making sure I had my DVDs and all of my clothes. I heaved it down the stairs and placed it by the door. Bella was zipping up her suitcase and gathering her carryon bags.

"Is your suitcase ready to go, beautiful?" I asked.

"Yeah. I think so," she said as she looked around her room. She nodded and I picked it up and placed it next to mine. I darted up the stairs and grabbed my carryon. She picked up a large guitar case and her messenger bag and slung it over her shoulder. I gave her a pointed stare and held my hand out. She took off her messenger bag and handed it to me. I slipped it over my shoulders and picked up the guitar case. Bella rolled her eyes and walked past me. I picked up my messenger bag and walked down the stairs.

Bella and I had a breakfast of Pop Tarts and milk. When we were finished, Emmett, Rosalie and Charlie had come downstairs. "You guys all ready to go?" asked Charlie.

"Yep. I think we've got everything," I replied.

"I'll miss you, Bells," Charlie said quietly. He held open his arms and Bella melted into them. "I love you, baby girl."

"I love you, too, Daddy," she replied into his chest. "I'll see you soon. We'll call you when we land."

"Are you guys going to the apartment?" Rosalie asked.

"Yeah. We're spending the night there tonight and then going to the Cullen Castle for a few days," I explained. "My parents have a few presents for Bella for Christmas. We also need to tell them about our engagement."

"Congratulations, Edward. I'm proud of you, son. Take care of my little girl," Charlie said as he gave me an awkward one-armed hug.

"I will. I promise, Charlie," I said as I smiled at him.

Bella gave Emmett a hug and he kissed her head. "I'll see you in a couple of weeks, Isabelly. I love you."

"I love you, too, Emmy," Bella replied, punching him in the stomach.

I held out my hand to Emmett and he grasped it, tightly. He then pulled me into a tight embrace. "I love you like a brother, but I will not hesitate to kick your ass if you hurt Bella."

"Got it, Em. Love you, too, bro."

"See you soon, Rose," Bella said as she hugged her. "Love you."

"Love you, too, Bells," she smiled. Rose turned to me and wrapped her arms around my waist. "Bye, Edward."

"Bye, Rosalie. See you on campus," I replied. "Bella, we got to go. I need to return the car. I'm sorry."

"It's okay. I'll see you all soon. Love you," Bella sniffled.

Emmett and I picked up the suitcases and loaded them in the back of the SUV. We placed the carryon bags into the backseat. Bella settled herself into the passenger side and I got into the driver's side. I eased the huge vehicle out of the driveway, honking as I pulled away. Bella waved through the window.

We made quick time from Forks to Seattle. We drove the airport and I returned the car to the rental place. I paid for the rental we waited until the shuttle arrived to take us to the airline. We got onto the shuttle bus and rode it to the departure terminal. We checked in and checked our bags. Bella didn't want to check her guitar but was forced to because of its size. Unbeknownst to my girl, I had purchased first class tickets for us back New York. Unlike the last time we were at an airport, we both went through security without a problem. We settled near our gate and waited for our flight to be called.

Bella pulled out a book and laid her head on my shoulder. I took out some staff paper and jotted down some notes and ideas of a song running through my head. I had hummed it to Bella on New Year's Eve but hadn't written anything down. We sat comfortably in our little bubble of happiness until first class passengers were called to board our flight. I put my things away and Bella looked at me with an expression of confusion.

"They're calling our flight, beautiful," I explained.

"They're calling first class passengers, Edward," she countered.

"Yeah, that's us. Come on," I said as I held out my hand.

"You are too much, Cullen," she snorted as she took my hand.

"We aim to please, Swan," I teased. I led us to the gate and the flight attendant scanned our tickets. She smiled and told us to enjoy our flight. We sat down in our seats in first class and I pulled out my laptop, a splitter and two sets of head phones. I put them into the pocket in front of me and gave Bella lopsided smirk. She rolled her eyes and turned back to her book. Our flight took off uneventfully and once we were allowed to take out the electronic devices, I took out my laptop. I set it on the tray table in between us and plugged in the splitter. I put the two sets of head phones in and handed Bella a pair. She put them in and I loaded a movie. We decided on watching Avatar. It was a longer movie and by the time it was done we would be almost home.

We watched the movie and ate our meals that were provided by the airline. We made excellent time back to Buffalo. We landed and taxied to our gate. I put my laptop back into my messenger bag and got ready to get off the plane. When the doors opened, I picked up both of our bags and we left the plane. Bella pulled out her phone and called Charlie.

"We're here. We're heading to baggage claim," she said. She mumbled a few things and then ended the call. "Hey, Edward, how are we getting back to our apartment?"

"Well, my parents dropped off my Volvo back to the apartment while I was in Seattle. My dad dropped me off at the airport when I left. They also arranged for a limo to pick us up. So, we're all good, beautiful," I replied as I kissed her soft lips. "I just need to call them when we pick up our bags."

"Oh, okay," Bella replied. She linked her hand with mine and we walked to the baggage claim to pick up our suitcases and Bella's guitar. Our bags were one of the first bags out and so I grabbed them and handed Bella her guitar case. I dialed the limo company and told them that we were ready for pick up. The operator asked for my last name and flight number. She then told me to wait by vestibule 3G. I gathered our bags and walked out to the assigned vestibule. A large black limo pulled up and the driver popped out of the limo.

"Mr. and Mrs. Cullen?" he asked politely.

"Yes?" I replied. I smiled at what he said. Bella giggled.

"Great. Let me grab your bags for you. I'm Ripley and I'll be your driver today. Why don't you both get in the back and we'll be on our way," Ripley smiled.

"Thanks. You have the address?" I asked.

"Yes sir, Mr. Cullen. The Dorwood Hill Apartment Complex near Emerson University, right?"

"Yeah. How long do you think it'll take to get there?" I asked.

"About two hours. Just sit back and relax, sir. There's beverages and snacks in the rear of the limo," Ripley explained.

"Great," I replied as I opened the door. Bella got in and scooted over on the seat. I slid in next to her and opened up the mini-fridge. "Want something to drink?"

"Water would be great," Bella replied. I swiped a water and handed it to her. I decided to live a little and grabbed a beer. Bella quirked a brow and sipped her water.

"In case you haven't forgotten, Edward, you need to be 21 to drink alcohol," Bella teased.

"What? I'll be 21 in June," I retorted.

"That's six months from now, Edward."

"What are you going to do about it, Bella?" I said as I took a pull from the beer. She took the beer from my hand and put it in the cup holder.

"I'm going to punish you, Edward," she cooed. "Do not make a sound. We don't want to alert the driver to our activities." Bella reached up and pressed a button. The privacy screen between the driver and the back of the limo slid up. Ripley had just got into the car and pulled away from the curb. Bella got up and knelt in front of me. I licked my lips and involuntarily squeaked. "Not a sound, Edward."

I nodded mutely and my eyes widened. She reached for the button of my jeans. She skillfully unbuttoned my jeans and pulled the zipper down. She leaned forward and kissed my lips. She hummed, "I can taste your offense on your lips, Edward. Too young to be drinking beer." She reached for the can and she took her own sip. She leaned forward and kissed me again. I could taste the beer on her lips. I licked her bottom lip and she pulled away abruptly.

Bella lifted my t-shirt and ran her fingers along the waist band of my jeans and my boxers. She moved forward and kissed my belly, swirling her tongue around my navel. She took another sip of the beer and repeated the action. Her tongue was cold and my body hitched at the sensation. She looked up at me through her long lashes. I removed the baseball cap from her head so I could see my beautiful girl. I tossed it onto the seat next to me. Bella moved her soft, tiny hand to my cock that was straining in my boxers. She pulled it out and pumped it a few times. She looked at it and licked the tip. I gasped and she looked into my eyes.

"No sound, Edward. None. No squeaks, no whimpers, nothing," she warned. She took another sip of the beer and she swallowed. She wrapped her lips around my dick and my hips bucked. She licked my hard member and pumped with her hand. I was breathing heavily and I gently caressed the back of Bella's head. She hummed and dragged her teeth along the bottom of my shaft. I bit my lip to prevent the moan that threatened to leave my body. Bella removed her mouth and took another sip. She moved her lips and tongue to my balls and I was dying. Dying the most pleasurable death imaginable. I ran my fingers through my hair.

Bella smirked at me as she took another pull of my beer. She put her cool mouth around my cock again and drew it all the way into her mouth. It hit the back of her throat and she raised a brow at me, taking me deeper. My chest was heaving and I needed to make some kind of sound. However, I knew I couldn't. Bella drew her mouth until she was at the very tip of my cock. She swirled her tongue along the tip. She pulled away and took another sip. She repeated the swirling action with her tongue and plunged my member fully into her mouth. She bobbed her head, never breaking eye contact with me. Her hands pumped with her mouth and massaged my balls. She ran her teeth over my cock and I could feel my body react. I gently ran my fingers through her hair and looked at her eyes, willing her to know that I was close. She knew, though. Bella moved faster, pumping harder. My eyes rolled back into my head and I released into her mouth. I covered my face with the baseball cap, inhaling Bella's scent. Bella swallowed all I had to offer and released my cock from her sweet, yet torturous mouth. I looked down at her and she took a final pull from the beer and she kissed me sweetly. "You can talk now, Edward."

"Holy Christ, Bella. That was fucking insane," I breathed. She leaned her chin against my thigh and gently put me back into my boxers and jeans.

"You like?" Bella asked, coyly.

"I more than just like, baby. I love," I said as I reached for her. I pulled her onto my lap, plunging my tongue into her mouth. I could taste the beer and myself on her tongue. I growled quietly at the flavor. "I'm so returning the favor, baby."

Bella giggled and buried her head against my shoulder. "You'll have to wait until we get home, Edward. I finished your beer."

"Damn it. There are other things we could try," I suggested, wiggling my brows. "But at home."

"Mr. Cullen?" came the disembodied voice of Ripley through the speakers.

I pressed a button, "Yes?"

"We're at your apartment complex," he said politely.

"Thank you, Ripley." I clicked the button off and righted myself. I quickly buttoned my jeans and pulled up my fly. I shook my head and Bella looked at me innocently. "You are a vixen."

"Who me?" Bella asked, fluttering her eyelashes.

"Yes, you. We're home. I want to take you to bed and cuddle with you, beautiful," I purred. "I love you, Bella."

"I love you, too, Edward," she replied, kissing me on the lips. She got up gracefully and I opened the door. I got out and paid Ripley for the ride and he assisted me in bringing the bags into the apartment building. I gave him a good tip and Bella and I rode the elevator up to our apartment. Bella took out her keys and opened the door. I followed her inside and shut and locked the door. I picked her up and carried her to our bedroom and plopped her on the bed. She squealed and tried to get up. I pinned her with my body. "We have to unpack and do laundry," she admonished.

"Tomorrow. Bed and cuddling now," I replied. I pressed kisses along the column of her neck and I could feel her relenting.

"Fine, Edward. You are just too convincing," she replied as she tugged on my hair. "It's hard to say no to you."

"It's because I'm so adorable," I laughed.

"Yes, you are. I love you, baby," Bella yawned.

"See? You're tired. You wouldn't have been able to do laundry even if you wanted to," I teased. "I love you, too, beautiful."

Bella got up and removed her clothes, pulling a pair of pajamas from the dresser. I took off my clothes and pulled down the comforter. I lay down in the bed and Bella crawled in soon after. She nestled against my chest, pressing a kiss to my swan. Her breathing evened out and she was asleep. I held her to my body and I soon followed my beautiful fiancée.

A/N: Okay, so I've got a ton of comments about keeping Jacob around. He's a jackass. However, it would be too easy if he died when he jumped off the cliff. He will get his punishment. As will Sam and Emily…well maybe not Emily. I like her. She's got some sense. Please leave some love… :)
