LIFE

Chapter 33

I was fixing to call 511, the information line on highway conditions. I was going to plan a trip into Fairbanks for everyone. A day of shopping, dining, just getting the heck out. We had been held up on this property through some mighty rough weather, and not able to do anything. I just felt we needed a break, some entertainment, some fun.

I called them, and they said we should be fine especially driving some bigger trucks. I planned on taking my Kodiak. I was going to mention Seth driving either Edward's truck, or mine. I had four wheel drive in my Toyota FJ Cruiser, plus it had a wench on the front. Emmett said they were taking Rose's truck, and there was room for three more people in the back.

We were taking the dogs, so we were pretty much full. It was decided Carlisle would be driving Edward's truck, along with Esme, and Alice. Gianna, and Leah were riding with them. The other men were piling up in their trucks, and it was going to look like a convoy. Boy, was Fairbanks going to have something to talk about.

It's alright, cause any place we went I was leaving word that there were positions for construction help, and possibly developing into ranch hand help once everything was built.

I also had two landscaping companies I was going to check out in Fairbanks. Edward, and I had been looking at different fencing for the horses, and cattle. I had a couple suggestions, and so did Edward, using the lumber and trees off the property. We could cut the posts, and then use the cut lumber from the saw mill. We would only need to buy the metal fencing to go along it, especially for the cattle.

Emmett said he was planning on using a lot of the lumber we produced from the saw mill to build the cabins. The wood to build my house was coming in from a special place. Those would be specially treated, and measured logs coming from some of the bigger trees on the property. He had a team that was working on different sections for that purpose. It was being sent to a lumber company that would produce it, and bring it out to us.

I got a favorable report on the highways into Fairbanks, and figured I would mention we were going early in the morning. I wanted to give us all a day just spent away from it all. I knew we were fixing to start a long draught of work, but it was so going to be worth it. I had planned on not even being on site myself. I had planned on a road trip, and just coming back when it was near completion.

But Edward was figured to be a big part of all of it, so if he was stuck here, so was I.

The girls was making the biggest bowls of spaghetti, and meatballs. They were making twisted garlic bread sticks, and individual salads. Maggie was making three strawberry shortcakes multi-layered.

So, dinner was planned, a trip into Fairbanks planned for tomorrow, and I had a special errand to run. I needed to go by the post office for a special package. I just hoped Edward would like what I got, and what went with it.

A couple weeks is all it took to get twenty five foundations poured for the cabins. They also went ahead, and poured the foundation for the storage building, and my house. The men worked from the first show of sunlight, until a little past dark. We had gotten some big flood lights while we were in Fairbanks.

The men were framing the cabins in, and fixing to start raising the walls. Then we had some additional help coming from Fairbanks to do the wiring, and putting in the plumbing for the cabins. We also got a few extra men helping in the cutting down of the trees. Emmett went, and also rented another saw mill, as we were not able to keep up. We pretty much had all the lumber to build about ten of the cabins, but Jasper, and Peter were smoking those mills.

We also bought some more tarps to try to keep the wood dry. I had also spent the past two days on line buying bedroom suits for the cabins. I had also talked to Emmett about when the horse barn was built I was wanting single bedrooms in the loft, separated by a bathroom in between each set. I was thinking about ten bedrooms, with five bathrooms.

I had also found a couple bedroom suits for our house, along with some living room, and dining room sets. I wanted Edward to give me his opinion, since it was also going to be his home. But, first tonight I'm asking Edward an important question.

I planned a quiet romantic dinner just for the two of us. I was cooking it in the trailer, along with a dessert cooked by Maggie for me. I was cooking just simple steaks, baked potatoes, a small salad, and the dessert which was a chocolate cake. Edward loved it the last time she made one.

I had him planned a nice hot shower, dinner, and right after I planned to talk to him. Let's just see how it all turns out. He is at present working with Jake's men out at the tree line bringing trees in to the saw mills for lumber. He was a right mess when he did come in every night.

I was busy marinating steaks, cooking potatoes, cleaning the trailer, and fixing everything just right for tonight. I eventually took a shower, shaving everything I could, putting lotion on, and a light touch of perfume. I bought some Dolce & Gabbana, along with some La Vie est Belle. I was more partial to the other though. I found one other that I liked because of the magnolia, called Bvlgari Magnolia Sensuel. This was a new one I was going to give a try.

I had gotten out of the shower, checked the water level, filling it for Edward. I then got dressed in a pair of grey velvet lounge pants with a white tank top. It was quite warm in the trailer, and I didn't want to overdo it. I laid out a pair of cotton lounge pants, and a t-shirt for Edward.

I was just putting on the steaks when Edward came in. I had just bent over to check the potatoes when he came up behind me. I shooed him into the bathroom, giving him a kiss as he went inside. I told him I got him some clothes laid out on the bed when he got through. I went back to cooking the steaks seasoning them with a little bit of garlic, and black pepper. I reached up for a couple wine glasses, and poured us a glass of a merlot I picked up in Fairbanks on our shopping trip.

I had a small piece of steak, and some potato I had cooked for our Babies I cut up. I fixed three bowls, and set it down for them. I turned our steaks over, and reached in the oven for the potatoes. They were perfect, so I put them on the table on small plates, with butter, and sour cream. I turned checking our steaks, which I took up serving them on our plates.

I was just reaching for our salads in the frig as Edward was coming into the kitchen. He looked so good, and clean. Very tired though. I handed him his wine glass, he tasted it, and really liked the sweet taste. I love a sweet red wine, and not so much a tart white. I was lucky they had the kind I really liked.

Anyway, I lead him to the table serving him his dinner. We ate in companionable quiet for a bit, then I asked him how things were progressing at clearing the tree line. He said they were making good time, and pretty much were about halfway around where we were going to put the fencing for the horses. They would then start further down towards where we were going to have the heifer sheds, and the fencing for the cattle.

After we finished the dinner I got up putting the dishes in the sink, and got us a big piece of chocolate cake. I turned going, and sitting beside Edward. He looked at me, and I just smiled. I started to feed him the cake. He was so cute. I found his weakness...chocolate cake. His moans were driving me crazy, and when I turned to give him another bite I caught him looking at me with a smirk on his face.

He knew what he was doing...the stinker. I prodded him with the fork to take the bite, and he opened his mouth to take it. I got him though, as I turned it, and took the bite myself. I couldn't help but to laugh at the look on his face. It was priceless. "Bella, what brought all this on anyway?"

"Just wanted to do something nice for you...for the man I love very much," as I turned to get him another bite. I fed it to him, and then looked at him,"I really need to ask you something. I know we've talked about a lot of things, about a life here, hopefully together. " I got real silent, and just sat looking at him. I took my fingers running them down his cheek to his chin, pulling him towards me I kissed him.

I could feel tears building up, and he started looking kind of upset. I shook my head, "Edward, I want to share...everything with you. This ranch, my life, our children, but...Edward, will you marry me?"

I raised a hand covering my mouth, not believing I finally got it out. I finally asked him. I lowered my hand reaching across the table under my napkin to pull the ring box across the table. I opened it to show him the rings I got for us. I looked at him...waiting...

"Well? Are you going to answer me?" I looked at him, and suddenly he started to smile. He raised his hand putting it around my neck pulling me close. "Yes, I would love to marry you, share this ranch with you, have lots, and lots of babies with you. My God, I already told you I wanted it all with you, Bella." Then he pulled me closer sealing it with a kiss. My God, what a kiss.

We sat there kissing, and suddenly I found myself across his lap. I cupped his face, and sat there just looking at him. He was a beautiful man, and I could so see a little boy running after the horses with copper hair every where, and the greenest eyes. His father made over. But, a little girl with long hair running after her daddy to take her a ride. She did have my color eyes, though. To cute!

I got up taking his hand, and headed towards our bedroom. I asked him if the door was locked, and it was. I made him sit pulling his t-shirt off, throwing it in the floor. I reached for mine, also adding it to the growing pile. I reached to pull the string to my pants, and they fell to the floor. I crawled on to the bed, and Edward turned looking at me. I was laid back, motioning for him to join me.

He stood up pushing his pants down until they fell off him, too. He then crawled over to me, laying down beside me, pulling me closer. He began to kiss me so gently, raising up looking at me as if to make sure I could see the love he was feeling. Trying to make me feel. I felt it...deep in my very soul. I pulled him down between my legs, and we laid chest to chest.

Not wavering in our touches, our kisses so deep, our looking in each others eyes. I saw my future there, a very long life. I urged him to take me, make me his, and he positioned his cock right at my entrance slowly pushing forward...until he was totally inside, hip to hip, as deep as he could go. We laid like that for a bit, then he started to move slowly, his arms bent each side of my shoulders. He took my hands threading our fingers together, and then he began to move more, harder, deeper, finally faster. He watched me, looking in each others eyes.

I could see everything he was feeling. He reached down bringing one of my knees higher on his hip, and then reached down for my bundle of nerves rolling, and pinching. "I need you to come with me, Bella. Please baby. I want to feel you pull me further inside, grab on to me. Take me with you, baby."

He leaned down kissing me, moving harder, and faster. Finally putting more pressure on my clit, and I fell, closing my eyes. "No baby, open your eyes. Watch me. I love you, Bella," as I felt him shoot his release deep inside. We met in a kiss as he pulled us on our sides, still very much together, and not in a hurry to separate. I wanted to stay this way forever.

"I love you, Edward."

"I love you, Bella, and yes, I'll marry you," as we both slip off to sleep.

OMG, this chapter was doing a number on me. I so wanted something solid between them. I was trying to keep things moving along, but this part was driving me crazy. I found a specific piece of music which helped me get through this love scene with them. It is absolutely beautiful, very climatic in it's build up. I recommend giving it a listen to.
