This story begins after the conclusion of Eclipse. Newly engaged, Bella and Edward explore the physical and romantic boundaries of their relationship. Rating for future chapters.

Edward's internal struggle with his blood lust, his love, his virtues, and his animalistic lust for Bella on the eve of their wedding day. Sweet one-shot lemon, hopefully in character, Edward's POV. My first fanfic ever - please read and review!

As we headed to the blue room, I knew this time would be different. There lacked the nervousness of the first time, the acute pain of the second - there was only love, passion, and desire, mingling together in perfect harmony.

Bella awoke in the middle of the night, sobbing and throwing herself at me with such fervor, I could not resist. After all, I needed this as much as her, and I was tired of denying it.

It is Edward and Bella's wedding night, and the tension is palpable. Can a human and vampire really make this work?
