"My Bella"
Edwards soft velvet voice whispered in my ear as he gently kissed my face and neck. Drawing me from the best night sleep I'd had since returning to New York.
"Edward" I smiled, whispering his name. I didn't open my eyes, not wanting to fully awake yet. I rolled towards his warm body and kissed his chest.
"Sleeping beauty has finally awoke." He chuckled.
"Nope. Her eyes are still closed" I reminded him kissing his chest once again.
"Well what must I do to open your eyes love? Maybe this?" He questioned placing a light kiss on my collar bone.
I sighed softly but refused to open up.
"Maybe here?" Edward trailed three kisses across my throat, to my chest before leaving a feather light kiss on my naked breast.
Tease.
"Well okay" he murmured against my skin.
Slowly he kissed down my body between my breasts, to my stomach then finally hitting the sensitive spot on the inside of my hip bone. I let out a soft gasp and finally opened my eyes. The locked onto his dancing green emerald eyes instantly. His face bright and he wore that crooked grin which sent butterflies to my stomach.
"Good morning" Edward said as I reached for him pulling him up my body. He settled between my legs and he rested his arms either side of my head.
"Yes it is" I replied smiling, leaning up to meet his lips kissing him swiftly.
"Yes it is" he agreed as he deepened our kiss.
I ran my fingers through his unkept hair, pulling him to me deepening the kiss. Edward responded rolling us so I was now lying on top of him. Straddling his hips I slowly moved against him feeling his length against my thigh. I repeated the movement and Edward groaned into my mouth. I loved hearing the sounds I got him to make. Sliding my hand between us I took him in my hand and began to work him up and down. Just feeling him in my hand had me aching for more.
"Bella" Edward whispered against my lips as we broke apart slightly.
I smiled, just as I lifted up positioning him at my entrance before sliding slowly down taking him completely inside me. We moaned together as we felt the full connection. I rolled my hip slowly setting a slow pace. As his hands reached for my hips I grasped them and put them above his head.
"Not yet baby" I told him. He wanted to tease me awake, he could wait.
His eyes narrowed slightly as he let out a sexy chuckle. As I held his arms in place I began to pick up the pace gradually before slowing back down. I repeated the same routine a couple times before Edward started begging for more.
"Baby please"
I bit my lip before releasing him sitting up picking up the pace, starting to feel my own pleasure beginning to build. Edward reached up grasping my breasts rolling my nipples between his fingers. Pleasure shot through me and I couldn't stop myself throwing my head back.
Edward dropped a hand and began to rub my clit in circular motions, my body began to shake as I felt myself reaching my peak.
"Oh god Edward don't stop" I begged feeling myself and him reaching our orgasms.
We quickened our pace Edward meeting my thrusts grasping my hips tightly.
"I'm so close baby" Edward said sitting up so we were chest to chest. I crashed my lips to his as my orgasm hit which only encouraged him to let go too. We rode out our orgasms together gasping for breath as we finally stopped moving. I tilted his head to mine giving him a swift kiss as our smiles mirrored one another's.
"I thought you'd of got enough last night" Edward winked as a I got off of his lap.
"I'll never get enough of you" I replied hopping out of bed slipping on his white t shirt, before grabbing a set of black lace panties from my draw. I looked back and winked at him as I walked out of the bedroom.
By the time I reached the kitchen Edward had caught up to me lifting me bridal style swinging me around. I squealed in surprise grasping his shoulders for support.
"Edward!"
"I'll never tire of hearing you say my name" he said kissing my cheek, before placing me on the breakfast bar.
I sat where I was left while he reached for two coffee mugs. As the kettle boiled he walked back to me putting his hands either side of my body.
"So Miss Swan, what would you like for breakfast?"
"HMMM?" I thought out loud.
"I will have an omelette please" I told him.
"Excellent choice, right you pour the drinks while I cook the food" he replied lifting me from the counter as if I weighed nothing.
As Edward cooked our breakfast I switched on the radio and we sang and danced around. We each laughed as we bumped into one another accidentally. I would never tire of being this domesticated with Edward. Doing the smallest thing such as cooking breakfast together was a team effort. We moved in sync and knew what the other was doing or needed. I wanted everyday like this, together.
Once the food was ready we took a seat at the breakfast bar.
"So what are your plans for today?" Edward asked.
I thought quickly and let out a groan.
"what?" He asked, his eyes narrowing in concern.
"I completely forgot. Today is the gala!" I said.
"Do you still want to go?" Edward asked.
"I said I would. I told my mother this would be the last event I would go to that she had pre organised my attendance."
"What ever your decision just know I'll be right there with you" Edward said, reaching over taking my hand.
"You'll come with me?" I asked, excitedly.
"Of course! Like I would let you go into the lions den again alone. I told you love. It's you and me now, and from now on you'll never have to be alone. I've got your back" he told me seriously, all love and protection in his eyes.
I reached over and kissed him.
"I love you" I told him.
"As I love you." He replied grinning.
"Oh my god. Outfits! I haven't got a dress! You need a suit. We have so much to do." I rambled out in a rush.
Edward started laughing loudly and I stopped to watch him curiously. What is he laughing at? I'm serious right now.
"What?" I asked.
"I thought you had been replaced with Alice for a second. Freaking out about clothes and not having enough time to prepare."
"Okay, Okay chuckles. Calm down but I am serious we have so much to get before tonight. My mother would have a fit if she knew I had nothing ready."
"Well Renee isn't here so relax. We will go freshen up and I will take you shopping. You will have to point me in the right direction of the shops, but we will get you a dress and me a suit and everything will be in order."
"Edward I can't let you buy me a gala gown." I told him knowing how much it was likely to cost. I knew Edward had money but I hated the thought of him spending so much on me.
"You're not letting me love, I'm treating my girlfriend. Plus I'm highly likely ripping the dress off you the minute we make it home" he replied lowering his voice at the end using his sexy voice, which made me wet again at the thought of him tearing a dress off my body.
"lets go shower" I told him clasping his hand tightly in mine before dragging him towards the bathroom, for our very long morning shower.
...
I stood in the dressing room trying on what must have been the twentieth gown. I had dragged Edward into ten stores and I was starting to slightly panic. Edward of course ever the patient one told me every dress looked beautiful on me but I just wasn't fully happy with what I had seen.
I looked in the mirror and smiled. The dress I had slipped on was midnight blue with a low cowl neck, with a fitted waist that hugged all my curves before ending with a light gradual fishtail from my knees down. It was backless and was held up with two tiny spaghetti straps over my shoulders.
It was simple but elegant, everything I had been searching for. Not too ostentatious, no sparkle or giant sashes or bows. Simple cut craftmanship that let the fabric and the cut do all the work.
"This is it" I whispered.
I pinned my hair up in a clip to see what it would look like.
"Hey love, are you okay in there?" I heard Edward call out.
"Yeah, be out in a minute." I called back to him grinning to myself in the mirror.
I smoothed the silk out once more and walked out of the fitting room. Edward was sat in one of the plush chairs right outside. He looked up as I walked out and his eyes widened and jaw dropped open.
"so...?" I asked twirling around in a circle the light silk fabric moving gracefully at my feet.
He stood up and walked till he was a foot in front of me, he took my hand and spun me once more. I giggled as he pulled me to his chest.
"Bella you are truly as your name is... Beautiful" he stated kissing me swiftly.
"Edward" I murmured at his sweet words.
"I'm going to be batting men away from you tonight" he grumbled playfully.
"You are the only man I want, or ever will want. I love you" I told him, looking him directly in the eye.
"As I love you. Now go take it off so I can buy it, and before you protest I'm paying. End. Of. Story."
I opened my mouth and closed it again knowing it was pointless to fight him. I walked back into the fitting room slipping out of the dress very carefully. I wondered if I kept it close I could sneak passed Edward to pay for it?
"Give me the dress" Edwards hand shot through the curtain and I chuckled and rolled my eyes. How did he know? It was as if he could read my mind.
"Fine!" I shouted, laughing unable to be mad at his generosity.
Once I was dressed I slipped my flats on and replaced my jacket. Walking through to the main store I saw Edward waiting with my dress boxed and neatly packed into a bag. I walked over to him and smiled. He returned the smile and kissed me sweetly.
"Right let's go buy you a suit" I said pulling him by the hand.
I knew exactly where to take him. We walked through the bustling streets to a small tailors. My father was terrible at picking suits but Pierre's had everything a man could ever need for evening wear. I tugged Edward into the shop and saw Pierre himself behind the counter. He was dressed in a dark blue waistcoat with a White shirt and blue trousers. A tape measure around his neck and circular wire glasses on the bridge of his nose. His eyes widened and a smile burst onto his face as he saw Edward and I.
"Isabella! Darling, how are you?" He exclaimed sweeping across the floor and pulling me to him.
"I'm excellent, how are you? How's Maggie?" I asked him in reply.
"We are great, she is out shopping currently. She and I will be at the Gala tonight. She is sorting the last minute arrangements."
"Wonderful I can't wait to see her."
"How can I help you? I'm assuming this handsome fella is with you?" He laughed peering up to Edward who was smiling warmly at our exchange.
"This is Edward my boyfriend. Edward this is Pierre."
"Hello, it is a pleasure to meet you" Edward said extending his hand to Pierre.
"The same to you. I'm so happy to meet the man that has brightened this charming woman's life."
"Pierre, I know it is last minute but is there any chance you could suit Edward for tonight's gala? He flew out last night to be with me and we need a suit as soon as possible" I begged clasping my hands.
He took a second and sized Edward up mentally. He tilted his head to the side and lifted his hand to his chin. Edward and I looked at each other and laughed nervously.
"Suit colour?" He asked.
"Black" Edward replied.
"What colour dress are you wearing Bella?" Pierre asked.
"Midnight blue" I replied.
"Give me five minutes."
With that he walked off into the back of his store. I knew he would come through. He always did.
"My father is a nightmare when it comes to suit shopping. I found this place a few years back and Pierre has been practically part of my family ever since. My father and I love him as he does us. Maggie his wife is a huge fan of my work. She is a lovely women, Esme would like her." I told him as we walked around browsing the store.
Five minutes later Pierre walked back through the door.
"Edward, fitting room is through here, I have laid out the suit and a tie." He told him ushering him through the back door.
I pushed Edward forward chuckling. As he disappeared Pierre walked over to me.
"You are going to love it."
"I'm sure I will. If you can dress my father you can dress anyone." I laughed.
"I sorted him out not a week back. Such a difficult man when it comes to clothing."
"Thats my dad. He'll be happy you're there tonight."
"It was he who invited, Maggie and I. He insisted we attend. Keep him company."
As Pierre and I talked I barely heard the back door open and Edward come through. He cleared his throat and I turned and gasped. He was stunning. If Pierre wasn't here I would of climbed him like a tree. Edward was wearing a skinny black suit with a double breasted jacket. It had a silk collar and he put in a midnight blue pocket square. With matching bow tie. It fit him like a glove. He had on a pair of patent brogues which finished off his attire. I was speechless.
"Wow" Pierre muttered, clapping his hands.
Still stunned I just stood eyes wide.
"If only every customer looked like you" Pierre laughed as he stood and marvelled his creation on Edward.
"It fits, amazing" Edward told him, pulling at his cuffs.
"I know" Pierre said as a fact.
"Bella?" Edward smiled.
"I'm going to be having to keep the ladies off of you tonight" I told him.
"You're the only woman I will ever see" he replied.
"Cut it out, you two love birds. Edward please take the suit off I do not want it ripped from you before tonight"
Pierre told us pulling him away from me and ushering him back into the changing room. I laughed but complied know I was fighting going back there with him.
As Edward changed I looked behind the counter and saw a row of cufflinks. Knowing Edward would not let me buy his suit I thought I'd buy him a small sneaky gift. I picked out a set o silver piano cuff links. I slipped them to Pierre and quickly paid for them slipping them into my dress bag.
After we left Pierre's we went for lunch. All this shopping had took it out of us and we each needed a break. I was beginning to actually look forward to the gala tonight. Knowing Edward would be with me to enjoy the night.
...
It was currently half past six. I had sent Edward into the guest room to get ready not wanting him to see me till we were both ready. I had prepared my makeup and hair. I had slipped into my dress and was adding some simple silver jewellery. I had Edward's gift sitting on my vanity table. I was beginning to get butterflies in my stomach. Why was I nervous? Was it nerves or excitement? Either way I was eager to go out with Edward. I looked at my shoes and was struggling between two pairs. I finally settled for my barely there silver diamante Jimmy Choo's I didn't want anything too bold but I needed a pair comfortable enough to get me through the night of standing and dancing.
"Hey love, I'm ready I'll wait for you in the living room." Edward knocked on my bedroom door.
"Okay! I'm almost ready be out in two minutes." I called back.
I took one final look in the mirror and smoothed my hands on my dress. I picked up my clutch bag and slipped Edward's gift inside. I spritzed myself with a final dose of perfume and stepped out of my room. As I walked into the living room Edward was stood by the floor length window looking every bit of a GQ model. I couldn't believe this man was mine. He heard my heels and turned to me. His eyes bright that matched his smile. He gave me that sexy crooked grin as I walked over to him.
"You look phenomenal " he said kissing me slowly. I grasped his neck pulling him closer. Gosh he smelt so good.
"As do you" I replied smoothing his collar and twisting his bow tie slightly.
"Are you ready for tonight?" He asked softly.
I looked up to him and nodded.
"I have you" I told him smiling a full beam, I took out my clutch and pulled out the small black box.
"This is for you" I smiled, he took the box gently and opened it.
"Oh Bella, I love them" he took the cuff links out of the box and I helped him put them on.
"Really? I wanted to get you something special. You treated me so much today and I wanted to give you a little something back. I thought the piano, music was you."
"They're brilliant. Honestly thank you."
My phone began to ring out and I answered it quickly.
"Hello Bella, your car has arrived." George answered.
"Thank you, we will be right down." I replied quickly before hanging up.
"Is it time?" Edward smiled
"It sure is. I just want to say before we go I am so happy you came. And please at any point tonight you want to leave we can. I just hope my mom behaves herself. Remember I love you, don't let her get to you." I rambled out.
Edward stopped me by placing a kiss on my lips.
"Bella Swan, I love you. Nothing in this world will change my mind. I am here for you. And once this event is over we can relax and soon we will head home. To our home. Together."
