The Time We Went On Vacation: Part 1

It's been a month since my birthday and I'm still flying high from the weekend. Bella was completely amazing. I was totally taken aback when she'd made my mom's mushroom ravioli. Not only that, but she'd actually been texting my mom so that she could get the recipe from her. Then, she had gone and planned a little pizza party and decorated her entire apartment for me. It was so fucking cute, it almost gave me cavities. Plus, my birthday present was pretty fucking epic. That lingerie? Fuck me. I've never seen anything sexier in my entire life. That memory will be staying with me until I'm old and grey.

Since that weekend, Bella and I have fallen into a nice little routine. We spend the night at each other's places a couple of times a week, just chilling out and watching movies. It's simple and easy and I'm struggling to remember my life before her. But, this past week has been a little different to usual.

Last week, Bella was told she was being put forward for a promotion and that she would need to sit an interview in front of a panel of her superiors. Initially, she was so fucking excited and I was so fucking proud of her for even being considered. But, then, the insecurities and worries started to set in. She started to panic about the interview, about not being good enough, about not knowing enough about her job or being experienced enough for the position they were offering. I'd had to talk her down a number of times throughout the week before she'd eventually agreed that the worst thing that could happen is...nothing. She doesn't get the job and her life doesn't change at all.

But, today is D-Day and despite my soothing words to her over the past few days, I have to admit I feel a little nervous for her. Not because I think she isn't good enough for the position, but because I know she wants it so badly. Either way, I've planned a little surprise for her which if she gets the job will be a celebration and if she doesn't will be little break to get away from things.

It's Friday night and I'm on my way home from the hospital to meet Bella for the weekend. As I sit in the back of the cab, I can't stop my leg from bouncing a little as I tap my cigarettes. I'm watching the city fly past the window when I suddenly feel my phone buzz. I quickly pull it out of my pocket and see a message from Bella.

Hey. I'm done. Are you on the way home yet? - B

Yeah. Just in the cab now. How'd it go? - E

I brace myself for the answer, feeling so antsy you'd think it was me going for the promotion.

I'll explain when I see you. Leaving now. - B

I sigh a little, feeling my stomach churn.

Maybe the champagne I placed in the fridge won't be needed after all...

In a matter of minutes, the cab pulls up in front of my building and I climb out. I lean against the side of the building, deciding to have a quick cigarette before heading inside. I've been trying to cut down on the fucking things as I know Bella hates that I smoke, but I still have one if I'm feeling stressed or antsy. I people-watch as I smoke before stubbing out the cigarette and heading inside my apartment.

As I step inside the door, I look at the clock in the kitchen and see that Bella probably won't be here for another ten minutes or so, so decide to have a quick shower to wash away the summer stickiness and smell of bleach and cigarettes. I quickly strip out of my clothes and hop in the shower, wasting no time washing my hair and body before stepping out and towelling off. I'm just pulling on a pair of shorts and a t-shirt when I hear a knock on the door.

I quickly run to the door and throw it open revealing Bella dressed in a pair of denim shorts and a t-shirt.

"Hey baby" I say gently when I see her.

"Hey" She replies with a small smile before stepping into the apartment and dropping her overnight bag by the door.

Well...she's not crying...

We make our way into the kitchen before I turn and lean against the counter, facing her.

"So, how'd your interview go?" I ask, unable to contain myself anymore. She's quiet for a moment and her face is completely emotionless.

"Well..." She trails off with a little sigh. "I got it!" She cries as a huge smile creeps across her face.

"Fuck! Seriously?!" I ask her, grinning widely.

"Yeah!" She says, bobbing up and down on the balls of her feet a little. I can't help the laugh that leaves my mouth before I move towards her, wrapping my arms around her waist and spinning her around in the small kitchen. She squeals before giggling brightly as I place her back on her feet.

"I knew it. I fucking knew it." I tell her honestly. "I'm so fucking proud of you" I tell her before dipping my head and bringing my mouth to hers. I kiss her gently but just like always, the kiss quickly becomes heated and I feel her back arch slightly and her hands move to my hair. I swipe my tongue along her bottom lip, asking for entrance as my hands move to her hips and pull her flush against me. Bella lets out a little moan and the sound is like adding fuel to the fire already burning in my belly. I break the kiss, my eyes meeting her dark ones.

I want her.

I want to show her how much I fucking want her.

"Come with me" I tell her, my voice deeper than before. I quickly turn, taking her by the hand and leading her to my room.

As soon as we're in the room, I close the door before pushing her up against the hardwood, my mouth slamming against hers once more. Bella moans against my lips as my hands grip her hips tightly, bringing my body flush against hers, my tall frame towering over her. I push away from the door, bringing her with me before turning to the bed and pushing her down onto the mattress. I break the kiss, moving my mouth across Bella's face and down her neck before sucking gently on the sensitive skin between her neck and shoulder.

"Mmm" Bella hums, her head tilting back and her eyes falling closed. As I continue to kiss along her collarbone my hands move to the hem of her t-shirt and begin to pull it up her body. I break the kiss momentarily to pull her shirt over her head, leaving her in just her shorts and bra. I can't help but groan a little as I gaze at her.

Fuck. She's beautiful.

"Fuck baby, you're beautiful" I tell her quietly before dropping back down and continuing my attention on her chest.

I kiss and lick my way across the top of her breasts, sliding my hand under her back and undoing the clasp with a flick of my wrist. As I pull the fabric away from her chest, I suck one nipple into my mouth, hearing Bella's breathing increase as she lets out a small moan.

Fuck. She has the best fucking tits...

As I continue my attention on her tits, my hands move to the button on her shorts, popping it open. I move away from her body, lifting up onto my knees and dragging the shorts down her creamy legs, leaving her in just her panties. My eyes roam over her body taking in her hair fanned over my pillows, her dark eyes, flushed cheeks and heavy breathing. I groan at the sight before me, trying to burn it into my brain. I can't help but adjust myself in my shorts, feeling the ache of my hard cock straining against the fabric.

"Baby please" She whispers as I continue to look at her.

"What baby? Please what?" I ask her, knowing exactly what she wants but needing to hear her say it.

"I need you. Please touch me." She moans and I can't help but grin a little at her begging.

I fucking love it when she begs.

"Oh I'm gonna touch you baby" I tell her before slipping my fingers under the edges of her panties and pulling them down her legs, leaving her beautifully naked before me.

I kneel between her legs and trail my fingers over her hips, abdomen and then thighs. Bella starts to pant slightly into the air, her back arching under my touch and her hips lifting from the bed trying to get my hands to where she desperately wants them. I chuckle slightly before moving one hand to her already wet pussy, gently swiping one finger between her folds.

"Urgh" Bella groans, her eyes fluttering closed from the pleasure.

I focus my attention on her small bundle of nerves, loving how Bella gasps and groans under my touch. Her breathing becomes laboured before she gasps as I slide one finger into her tight opening.

"Oh fuck" She pants, her eyes closed tightly and a small crease forming between her eyebrows.

"You like that baby?" I ask her, watching as her eyes flutter open to look at me, fixing me with a dark stare. She moans as I slip another finger into her pussy, increasing the pace until she's moaning incoherently, her eyes rolling back into her head.

"Oh shit. I'm gonna cum" She moans, her back arching.

I moan at the omission, placing my thumb against her clit, giving her the pressure she needs to fall over that blissful edge. Bella gasps loudly before her body seizes and snaps forward under the force of her orgasm. I continue to move my fingers in and out of her bringing her back down before removing them from her completely. I watch as Bella's chest rises and falls with her laboured breathing and her tongue flicks out to wet her lips.

"Fuck" She breathes, giggling slightly before her eyes open to find mine. "You're so fucking good at that" She tells me. I chuckle slightly before dropping down and giving her a heated kiss.

"You ain't seen nothin' yet" I tease her before sliding down her body and taking one long lick of her pussy.

"Holy shit!" Bella cries out.

I chuckle darkly before refocusing my attention on her. I continue to lick between her folds before flicking my tongue over the small bundle of nerves making her moan loudly. I feel Bella's body arch and wriggle under my ministrations and wrap my arms around her hips, pinning her to the mattress.

"Oh fuck, fuck, fuck" She pants as I seal my lips around her clit, suckling on the nub. I glance up and see her eyes watching me and can't help but groan. I remove my mouth from her momentarily, sliding one arm under my body and between her legs until I can slide one finger into her wet heat.

"Urgh...yeah" Bella groans, her head tilting back and her eyes closing as I bring my mouth back to her pussy, increasing the pace of my thrusts. I alternate between sucking and quick flicks of my tongue over her clit, hearing Bella's moans turn breathy and high-pitched.

She's getting close. I can feel her.

"Urgh, please don't stop, please don't stop..." Bella pants, her head thrown back and her back arching under the strain of her impending orgasm. I suck hard on her clit while rubbing my fingers against her g-spot and watch as she gasps loudly before letting out a long groan, her pussy fluttering around my fingers. I continue my assault on her until I feel her orgasm fading, only then do I remove my mouth and fingers from her body.

"Holy shit" she pants, her eyes closed and her chest heaving under her laboured breaths. "I know I said you were fucking good before but that..." She says pointing at me, "was fucking..." She trails off unable to find the words.

"Spiritual?" I tease. She laughs breathily before nodding a little. Her eyes flutter open and she fixes me with a dark stare.

"I want you," She tells me honestly.

"Want me how?" I ask her, one eyebrow raised.

"I want you to fuck me," She says.

You don't need to tell me twice.

I quickly stand from the bed and practically rip my clothes off before crawling back up the mattress and fusing my mouth to hers. Bella moans into the kiss as I reach over to the nightstand and feel blindly for a condom. Once I find one, I pull away from her, tearing the package open and fixing it to myself. I then settle back between her spread legs and slide into her in one quick thrust.

"Urgh" We moan in unison. She gives me a little grin before biting down on her bottom lip as I start to thrust in and out of her. I feel her wrap her legs around my hips, pulling me deeper into her and I can't help the grunt that leaves the back of my throat at the sensation.

Fuck. I'm not gonna last...

"Oh fuck. You feel so good" I tell her, resting my forehead against hers as I speed up my thrusts, chasing that blissful edge. Bella moans before leaning up slightly and kissing down my neck to my shoulder. I groan at the feeling, reaching back and pulling her leg further up my hip, opening her up for me more.

"Oh shit!" Bella cries out, throwing her head back, her mouth open in a silent moan. As I continue to fuck her, I feel the tingle at the base of my spine, signalling my impending orgasm.

"I need you to cum" I groan into the side of her neck. "I'm not gonna last," I tell her.

I feel her hand sneak down between our bodies before she starts circling her clit. She lets out a whimper and the noise makes me raise my head to look at her. Her eyes are wide and her breaths are coming out in harsh pants.

"I need...I need..." She breathes, unable to get her words out.

"What?" I groan, struggling to hold my orgasm back for her.

"Something...more" She whimpers her face looking pained. I understand she needs something else to push her over the edge so I lift myself up on my palms, my hips constantly moving. I reach back with one hand and pull one of her legs forward before trapping it between my chest and arm, just the way she likes.

"Like this?" I ask her, breathing heavily. "This what you want baby?".

"Yeaahh" She moans, tilting her head back. "Fuck, right there, right there, right there..." She groans before I feel her entire body seize under the force of her orgasm. She tightens around me and I see the telltale black spots appear in front of my vision before I'm dragged over the edge with her.

"Fuuuuuck" I groan I almost blackout with the sensation. I feel myself drop down onto Bella's body, collapsing under the strain before my faculties eventually come back.

I hear myself breathing heavily and my skin feel sticky from exertion, my hair sticking to my forehead. I drop a small kiss on Bella's collarbone before lifting myself off of her and rolling to one side so that I don't crush her with my weight.

"Fuck" Bella giggles, "My legs feel like jelly" She tells me. I chuckle at her words before turning on my side to face her.

"I'm not surprised after three orgasms" I tease her. She rolls her eyes at me before I pull her against my chest and kiss the top of her head. We lie there for a while, recovering from our activities, just listening to each other breathing.

"I'm so fucking proud of you" I tell her quietly, absentmindedly drawing shapes on her arm.

"Really?" She whispers, her voice slightly muffled by my chest.

"Completely" I answer honestly. I grin a little before pulling back from her. "Actually, I'm so proud of you, I have a bottle of champagne in the fridge" I tell her before swinging my legs off the bed and brazenly walking into the kitchen.

I can hear Bella laughing at me and the sound makes me smile. I quickly grab the bottle of champagne from the fridge and two glasses as well as an envelope I've been saving for this very occasion. I return to the bedroom a moment later and see that Bella has put her panties back on and grabbed one of my t-shirts to cover herself with. I place the bottle and glasses on the dresser before slipping my underwear back on.

"What's that?" Bella asks, looking at the envelope in my hand.

"Oh, just a little gift for the new assistant team leader of a publishing house," I tell her nonchalantly.

"A gift?" She giggles, her cheeks pink. I nod a little before grabbing the bottle of champagne and popping the cork with a satisfying "pop" and pouring two glasses. I hand her a glass before climbing on the bed beside her and handing her the envelope.

"Open it," I tell her. She sips her champagne before grinning at me and opening the envelope. Inside is a piece of paper showing a booking confirmation for a small bed and breakfast in the San Juan Islands just outside of Seattle.

"What's this?" She asks, reading the booking confirmation.

"It's a weekend away. Just you and me." I tell her. She looks up at me and her eyes shine for a moment before she launches herself at me. Her arms wrap around my neck in a tight hug.

"Wow, what's that for?" I ask her, wrapping one arm around her waist and kissing the side of her head.

"That's amazing. I love it. I love you" She says, pulling back and kissing me hard.

"I love you too" I chuckle against her lips before she pulls away and looks at the paper once more.

"So tell me about the place you booked," She says, snuggling into my chest and sipping her champagne.

"It's a little bed and breakfast right by the water. It's booked from Friday night to Sunday afternoon so you don't have to take any time off work. We can just leave as soon as you get home on Friday" I explain.

"You're amazing" She says with a grin, tilting her head and giving me a quick kiss. "I can't wait" She whispers against my lips.

"Me neither" I grin before closing my eyes, a grin on my face.


The following weekend arrives quickly and before I know it, Bella and I are climbing out of a taxi, a suitcase in each hand. I would like to stress, that just one of these bags belongs to me.

What the fuck do women pack anyway?

We push our way through the crowds at the station, eventually finding the platform that will take us towards the ferry port. I hear the whistle of the train arriving and see Bella turn to grin at me, her hair blowing around her face as the train pulls into the platform. We climb up the steps in the carriage before finding two seats and squeezing in with our cargo.

"It's busy" Bella says, turning to look at the crowded seats behind us.

"I know. Everyone else must have had the same idea" I agree looking over at her and giving her a smile as the train pulls away.

The next couple of hours are a whirlwind of travel. When the train pulls into the station, I follow behind Bella, dragging our mountain of luggage in my wake until we find a cab to take us to the ferry port. Once there, we purchase a foot passenger ticket and eventually find two seats on the deck outside.

"Urgh, thank fuck for that" I sigh as we collapse onto the seats and can finally relax for a little while.

"Are you not a fan of travelling?" Bella giggles, looking through a tourist brochure.

"I like travel, I just don't like getting to the destination." I tell her, closing my eyes and feeling the sun warm my face.

"Well, are you at least excited about going away with me?" I hear her ask me. I crack open one eye and give her a grin.

"I'm totally excited." I tell her. "I can't wait to have you all to myself. Just you, me and a king size bed." I add, my voice teasing.

"Edward!" She hisses, glancing around to see if we are overheard.

"What?" I chuckle, rolling my eyes at her.

"I hope you intend to do more than stay in bed the whole time." She says, making me grin.

She's so easy...

"Oh I intend to do a lot more" I tell her seriously with a nod. "I intend to do stuff in the shower, against the wall..." I break off into a chuckle as she starts shoving me in the chest. I grab her hand, holding it against me before giving her a quick kiss on the palm. She might protest when I say stuff like that to her but I see the tell-tale blush creeping up her neck. She wants it as much as I do.

"So, what do you want to do while we're there?" I ask her, changing the subject.

"Well, there's a few harbours that look nice. Maybe we could go for a walk or something?" She suggests. I nod in agreement.

"I don't mind what I do, as long as I'm with you." I tell her honestly. She gives me a grin before I lean in and press my lips to hers. Before I can deepen the kiss, she's pulling away.

Before too long, the ferry sounds signalling our impending arrival and we collect our bags, heading towards the exit. We walk off the boat as soon as we've docked and wander along the street until we reach the small bed and breakfast. It looks nice from the outside. It's painted a pale green and has a veranda around the exterior with a couple of rocking chairs, looking out towards the water.

We head inside where an older lady with a smiling face greets us.

"Welcome! Have you made a reservation?" She asks with a small smile.

"Yes, we have" I reply before following her over to the small desk in the foyer. "It's in the name of Cullen," I tell her. She nods before tapping away on her computer.

"Ah yes, Mr and Mrs Cullen, you're in room six." She says with a smile. I'm momentarily taken aback by her wording and I see Bella's eyes widen out of the corner of my eye. I almost correct her but then decide not to make a big deal out of it, but I can already tell Bella's going to be agonizing over it for the foreseeable future. To be honest, I'm less bothered by the assumption and more concerned by how nice the name sounds to my ears.

Fuck. I'm not ready for that...yet.

"Great. Thank you" I reply, taking the key she offers and heading up the stairs, Bella following behind me. Within a couple of moments, we're standing outside the door of number six. I push the key into the lock, turning it and revealing our new home for the next couple of nights.

The room is nice, if not a little twee. It has pale blue walls and cream curtains with a lace edge. A chair sits by the window which looks out over the water and in the centre is the promised king size bed. I drop our bags to the floor and fall back against the soft mattress.

"Urgh! Thank god we're here" I groan, my eyes closing. I feel the bed dip as Bella sits beside me. I peek an eye open and see her wringing her hands, looking around the room awkwardly.

"What's wrong?" I ask her, leaning up on my elbows, already knowing the answer.

"Hmm? Nothing." She says.

Yeah right.

I bite the inside of my cheek to stop from smiling.

This is about the Mrs Cullen thing.

She's so fucking cute.

"Bella..." I sigh. "Is this because that lady called you Mrs Cullen?" I ask her.

"What?! No, don't be ridiculous. Anyway, I didn't even hear her say that." She rambles, avoiding my gaze.

Sure, you didn't.

"It shouldn't bother you." I tell her gently with a small smile.

"It doesn't. It's a ridiculous notion anyway...right?" She says, her voice going slightly high-pitched.

"So you don't want to be Mrs Cullen?" I ask her. I know it's way too soon for that but I can't help myself. I want to know what she thinks.

"What? No, it's not that-" She stammers.

"So you do want to be Mrs Cullen?" I tease her.

"I-I...don't...know?" She replies, her face turning pink from the pressure. I can't stop the chuckle that escapes my lips at the look on her face. The noise makes Bella turn to look at me and she immediately smacks me in the chest.

"Fuck off Edward!" She cries, moving to stand from the bed, huffing slightly. I grab her hand, pulling her back down next to me and blocking her escape.

"I'm sorry! I wasn't laughing at you. It's just you're so fucking cute when you freak out." I tell her honestly.

"I'm not freaking out!" She cries, totally freaking out, "Anyway, why aren't you freaking out?" She asks me seriously. The question is valid but is still hard to answer.

"I don't know, I guess because it was just an assumption by a woman in a hotel," I tell her. "But I love you, so why should it freak me out?" I add honestly. "I'll be honest and say I'm not ready for that yet though," I tell her, not wanting to lead her on.

"Me neither," She tells me with a small smile. My eyes flick between hers and I feel my stomach fizz with that familiar buzz.

"You're beautiful" I tell her honestly. She giggles and rolls her eyes before I lean up on one elbow and fuse my mouth to hers. I moan quietly into her kiss, feeling her hands move to my hair before swiping my tongue against her bottom lip, asking for entrance. She opens her mouth for me, letting me deepen the kiss finally. I groan again, moving my body more over hers, sliding one knee between her legs. Bella tears her mouth away from mine, breathing heavily, so I move my lips, kissing down her neck.

"Edward, what are you doing?" She asks, giggling breathily as I suck lightly on her collarbone.

"Kissing you" I answer, my voice deep and gritty as I move back to her mouth.

"Oh really?" She replies, moving her face away from mine. "I thought you wanted to go for a walk" She says with a flirty grin.

"I'll walk tomorrow. Right now I want you" I tell her before fusing my mouth to hers and sliding one hand into her hair.

I wrap my arm around her middle before rolling onto my back, bringing her with me. She squeaks in surprise before straddling my hips and putting her warm centre in direct contact with my hard cock. I grunt at the feeling before sliding my hands to her hips and moving her over me, leaning up on my elbows to deepen the kiss.

"Mmm" Bella moans quietly, twisting her fingers into my hair and making me groan in turn.

"Take this off" I whisper against her lips as I tug on her shirt.

She pulls back and crosses her arms over her chest, pulling her top over her head and leaving her in just a bra. I moan quietly before my hands move to palm her breasts, listening as her breathing increases. I slide my hands behind her back and with a flick of my wrist undo the clasp of her bra. The fabric falls from her chest and I quickly lean up, sucking one nipple into my mouth. Bella moans, her head dropping back onto her shoulders and her hands running through my hair. As I continue to lavish her chest with attention she begins moving her hips back and forth over me, drawings small grunts from my mouth. I move my mouth to the other breast as I slide my hands down to her ass, moving her harder.

"Urgh, Edward" Bella pants above me. "Please" She moans.

"Please what?" I ask her.

"Please touch me." She whispers.

"I am touching you" I reply, sucking hard on her nipple to prove my point as I look up at her from under my lashes.

Bella gasps loudly before yanking my head away from her chest by my hair. Suddenly, everything speeds up as she wriggles back on my lap, her hands fumbling with the button on my jeans and yanking my zipper down. I grunt at the sensation before letting out a groan as she slips her hand under the fabric, grasping me firmly in her palm.

"Fuck" I breathe, my head tilting back to look at her.

She's so fucking hot.

Bella's cheeks are flushed, her lips swollen from kisses, her chest heaving under her laboured breathing. She moves her hand quickly over my cock, tightening her grip and making my head spin. After a couple of minutes, I feel a tingle of an orgasm at the base of my spine and force myself to remove Bella's hand, not wanting this to be over yet.

I flip us over before rising to my knees and practically ripping her jeans from her body. I return a second later for her panties, dragging them down her legs, leaving her naked beneath me.

"Fuck. I love you" I groan as I shove my own jeans down, followed by my boxers before rummaging through my bag to find a fucking condom.

"I love you too" Bella moans, watching as I fix the condom to myself. I groan quietly as she spreads her legs in invitation.

"How'd you want me?" I ask her, moving between her thighs, bumping her clit with my cock.

"Hard." She answers, breathlessly.

Fucking A!

"Remember we have neighbours," I tell her before thrusting into her in one smooth motion.

"Urgh" We both groan in unison before I start a quick hard rhythm. The room quickly fills with the sound of our quiet moans and groans, panting breaths and slapping skin. I feel Bella wrap her legs around my hips, tightening around me and making me groan before I hear her moan my name. I move my head from the crook of her neck to look at her.

"Baby..." She pants.

"What?" I ask, unsure how I'm forming words right now.

"Can you do the leg thing?" She asks breathily. Despite the situation, I can't help but chuckle slightly.

"I got you baby" I reply before leaning back slightly, moving her leg between my chest and arm and in turn changing the angle.

"Oh fuck!" She squeals, throwing her head back in pleasure before covering her mouth with her hand, trying to keep quiet.

"Is that what you wanted?" I ask her cockily, speeding up my thrusts, feeling my orgasm beginning to lick the base of my spine.

"Yes!" She moans quietly before her mouth opens in a silent scream.

Watching the pleasure on her face, I decide to try something different. I lean back further, putting more pressure on that magic spot inside of her, watching as her eyes roll into the back of her head and grab her other leg, tucking it against my chest as well.

"Holy. Shit" Bella gasps, her back arching in pleasure.

"Fuck baby, I need you to cum. Right now" I moan, my vision going blurry and my head spinning. "Touch yourself" I pant, watching as she slides a hand down her body and starts rubbing her clit in quick circles. In this position, I can see fucking everything.

So fucking hot.

"Fuck, fuck, fuck" She pants before her body snaps forward and she groans into my neck, her orgasm hitting her hard. The force of her orgasm triggers my own and I let out a grunt before falling forward onto her, panting hard as my hips pump sporadically.

"Holy fuck" I breathe a few minutes later, just about having enough energy to lift my head from the crook of her neck.

"You can say that again" She giggles. "What the fuck was the double leg move?" She asks.

"You liked that huh?" I chuckle, rolling off of her and disposing of the condom. I'll hide it before housekeeping makes an appearance. I lie on my back, pulling Bella into my side, just listening to our breathing.

"Baby?" She whispers.

"Mm?" I answer, my eyes closed.

"I'm hungry." She says and then as if on queue, her stomach rumbles. I chuckle quietly before moving her off of me.

"Let's feed the beast then" I tell her. "I saw a small restaurant at the end of the road we could go to".

Bella nods before rising from the bed and walking toward the bathroom. I ogle her naked body as she walks past me.

"I'm just going to have a quick shower" She tells me.

"Okay" I reply. Once the bathroom door closes, I stand and head over to our cases. I open mine and dig out some fresh clothes, laying them on the bed and grabbing my toiletries before hearing the bathroom door open again. I turn around and see Bella wrapped in a fluffy towel. She gives me a smile before walking past me to grab her own clothes.

I head into the bathroom and turn on the spray, stepping under the hot water and washing up quickly. Once out, I towel myself off before heading back into the room. Bella is putting her earrings in, looking in the mirror. Her eyes meet mine in the reflection before she gives me a small smile.

"You almost ready to go?" I ask her as I dress in jeans and a shirt.

"Yeah. I'm done" She nods, spraying some perfume on and turning to face me. I look up at her and give her a grin.

"You look really fucking good" I tell her honestly. She's dressed in a sundress and sandals and seeing her look all girly makes my stomach feel weird.

"You don't look so bad yourself," She says with a smile. I grab her hand and our room key before we head out of the hotel and down onto the street. We walk along the street, hand in hand until we reach the small restaurant on the corner that I saw earlier. It seems to be an Italian place.

"Table for two?" An older gentleman asks when he sees us. We nod and are shown to a small table on the veranda outside. It's perfect. He hands us both a menu before disappearing.

"This is lovely" Bella says, looking out at the sea view.

"Yeah it's nice" I agree, opening my menu and reading the options. The food all sounds amazing but I eventually decide on the chicken parmigiana. Suddenly, the waiter appears by our side again.

"Are you ready to order?" He asks.

"I think so, Bella?" I ask. She nods.

"Can I have the linguine marinara please?" She asks.

"And I will have the chicken parmigiana," I add. "And can we have a bottle of white wine please?"

"Certainly." The waiter replies, scribbling down our orders before disappearing once again.

"I can't believe we're here" Bella says with a grin, looking at me from across the table.

"Me neither. I thought I was going to die of heatstroke on the fucking train" I tell her, making her laugh. I reach over and grab her hand that's resting on the table and tangle my fingers with hers.

"Thank you" She suddenly says.

"For what?" I ask her, my eyes flashing to hers.

"For booking this and organising everything. It's perfect." She tells me. As I look at her, I feel my insides warm and I smile softly.

"I'm glad. You're very welcome." I reply. Just then, the waiter reappears with our wine and pops the cork, pouring each of us a glass before fading into the background once more. I pick up my glass and hold it in front of me.

"To my incredible girlfriend. I'm so fucking proud of you" I say before clinking my glass against hers. She giggles slightly and I notice her cheeks turn red from the attention before sipping on her wine.

"Mm this is really good" She says, placing her glass back down on the table. "So what shall we do tomorrow?" She asks.

"How about that walk?" I ask her. "We kind of got distracted earlier" I say with a grin.

"That sounds good to me" She says, smiling at me.

When our meals arrive a few minutes later, I suddenly realise how hungry I am and tuck in enthusiastically.

"Hungry?" She teases, twirling some pasta around her fork.

"You made me build up an appetite," I tell her, loving how her skin warms at the memory of it.

As we eat and drink, we talk about everything and anything and when it's eventually time to leave, I feel warm and relaxed, if not slightly tipsy from the wine. Bella and I stroll back to the hotel, hand in hand, the sea air blowing gently as the stars twinkle above us.

"Baby?" Bella says quietly as the hotel comes back into view.

"Mmm?" I hum in response, looking down at her.

"When we get back to the room, do you want to build up an appetite again?" She says, a flirty glint in her eye. I immediately feel my cock harden at the words before I hear her laughing as I practically drag her back down the street to the hotel.

When we enter our room, my mouth is on hers before the door closes behind us. I kiss her as if I'm a dying man, the wine making us giggly, light and free. My hands go to either side of her face as she clings to the front of my shirt, walking backward towards the bed.

When the back of her legs hit the bed, I stop, pushing the thin straps of her dress from her shoulders, my hands gently pulling the zip down her back. I feel the fabric of her dress loosen before I push it down, leaving it in a puddle around her feel. She steps out of it, her hands moving to the buttons of my shirt, popping each one through the hole until she can push it off my shoulders.

My mouth never leaves hers as I undo the clasp of her bra, pushing it off her body and leaving her in just her panties. I feel her hard nipples brush against my bare chest with every breath she takes and the sensation makes my skin tingle. I move my mouth away from Bella's, across her cheek and down her neck, hearing her heavy breathing fill the dark room.

Her hands quickly move to my belt, undoing it and popping the button of my jeans before shoving them down as far as she can reach until I step out of them, kicking them away. My mouth returns to hers before I gently push her back to lie on the bed, crawling up the mattress as she scoots back further.

"Fuck, baby you're so beautiful" I tell her, looking down at her almost naked body in the moonlight.

"Edward please" She moans quietly, her eyes dark with desire.

"What do you want?" I ask her, palming my hard cock through the fabric of my underwear.

"Make love to me" She says. The words ignite me on fire and I quickly slip my fingers into the thin fabric of her panties, pulling them down her legs and throwing them behind me. I return a moment later for my own underwear before grabbing a condom from the nightstand and fixing it to myself.

I slowly push into Bella, letting out a shuddering breath before my hips become flush with hers.

"Fuck baby" I groan quietly before starting a slow, leisurely rhythm. I listen to Bella's moans and groans as I move over her, slow and steady, building us up to that blissful high.

"I love you" Bella moans into my ear and I let out a grunt before kissing the side of her neck, pulling my head out of the crook of her throat to look at her.

"I love you too" I tell her honestly, pushing the hair out of her face.

"Baby, I need to cum" She says, her eyebrows drawn together in concentration.

"Me too baby" I tell her. "Me too".

I lean up on my elbows, starting a slightly faster pace than before and focusing on finding that magic spot inside of her. Bella's moans become more high-pitched and breathy as I push her thighs further apart, letting me sink deeper into her.

"Oh shit" Bella whimpers, her hands clinging to my hair and pulling my mouth to hers. I groan into the kiss before leaning up on one arm and slipping one hand between our bodies. I rub slow circles over her clit, causing her to rip her mouth away from mine, breathing heavily.

"Fuck baby, I need you to cum" I groan, resting my forehead against hers and feeling the small bundle of nerves under my finger.

"I'm so close" Bella whimpers, her breaths coming out in heavy pants. I thrust slightly harder, once, twice, three more times and that's all it takes to feel Bella's walls clamp down around me, pulling me over the edge with her. When we eventually come back down from our highs, I roll off of her, lying on my back, breathing heavily.

"Fuck" Bella giggles breathlessly.

"I know right" I agree, my hand lazily rubbing my stomach before I dispose of the condom. I roll onto my side, looking at Bella's sparkling eyes in the dark.

"I love you" I whisper. She gives me a little smile before taking my hand in hers.

"I love you too" She whispers back. We lie there for a long time, just listening to the sound of our breathing and the slight breeze that rattles the windows before I feel my eyes turn heavy and I fall into a dreamless sleep.
