Emboldened by Carlisle's words, Bella's body had a mind of it's own. He had ignited a fire in her that was spreading in her lower belly as wetness formed between her legs. Bella had felt this way before while kissing Edward, but there was something about kissing Carlisle and knowing that he wouldn't stop her or pull away that was driving her desire to new heights. Before she knew it, she was leaning in to kiss him again. Their lips met with increased fervor, and the electricity between them was palpable. Carlisle surpressed a moan as Bella traced the outline of his lips with her tongue, silently begging for entrance.

"Bella..." Carlisle breathed against her lips before flicking his tongue over hers and sucking her bottom lip into his mouth. Bella whimpered as pleasure shocked her senses. Their tongues danced, one of his hands coming up to her neck as he raked his fingers through her hair, his other hand ghosting across her side and moving to her lower back where he traced the hem of her tank top, lightly caressing the sensitive skin there.

Carlisle's teasing touches on her lower back caused Bella to tense as she was brought back to reality and was suddenly feeling anxious about where their actions would lead as the weekend progressed. Sensing Bella's apprehension, Carlisle slowed his movements and stilled his tongue, pulling back from her lips to allow her to catch her breath. "Carlisle... I'm sorry...I just..." Bella whispered, a flush forming on her neck and cheeks. "There is no need to apologize, sweetheart. We are in no hurry and I don't wish to rush you. Are you ready to go back inside?" He asked her. She nodded shyly and Carlisle helped her to stand, steadying her as she gained her balance.

Slowly they walked back towards the house. When they entered through the back door, Bella excused herself to the room Esme had set up for her to use the restroom and take a shower. She hadn't expected to want Carlisle in this way and it had caught her off guard. She was feeling the need for some time to decompress and process her emotions. She slowly undressed, grabbed a lavender scented aromatherapy shower tablet and turned the shower on as hot as she could stand before turning off the light and stepping under the pulsating jets of water. The water felt like heaven on her tense muscles and she took her time as the dark room and hot water helped to melt away the nervousness she was feeling.

Carlisle could hear the water running and smell the lavender and strawberry scents coming from the bathroom. He smiled to himself, grateful that Bella felt comfortable with taking some time to herself like he had encouraged when they first arrived on the island. He was in no hurry, and sat back on the couch to enjoy one of his favorite books while he waited for her return.

Bella stepped out of the shower as the water began to run cold and flipped on the light switch. Squinting as her eyes adjusted to the light, she reached for a towel and dried off. She combed through her hair and pulled it up in a messy bun. After brushing her teeth, Bella moved towards the guest bedroom to find something to wear to bed.

She didn't know if Carlisle would have expectations of her tonight, and she wanted to dress in a way that made her feel confident, so she put on a pair of purple lace panties that Alice had gifted to her before they left for the trip. Debating on whether or not to wear the matching bra, she decided it was best to wear one, since she knew that she wasn't comfortable with Carlisle seeing her topless yet. She pulled on a clean gray tank top and a comfortable pair of matching lavender and gray striped pajama bottoms that hugged her hips and proceeded to make her way back out towards the living room, where she found Carlisle sitting on the couch reading a book.

She wasn't sure what the sleeping arrangments would be, but the thought of sharing a bed with Carlisle didn't intimidate her quite as much as it did earlier in the day. Carlisle looked up and smiled at her when she entered the living room. "Hi there" he said as he marked the page in his book and set it on the coffee table. "Did you have a nice shower?" he asked her. Bella nodded. "Yes, it was great, very relaxing. Thank you." "You're very welcome, Bella. I'm glad you were able to use the space the Esme set up for you to decompress. Are you tired?" Bella nodded again. Carlisle noticed that she was biting her lip and her heart rate and breathing quickened again. He had a pretty good idea why.

"Bella," Carlisle spoke softly to her." I hold no expectations of you tonight. I would be glad to share the bed with you if you are comfortable doing so. If you are not feeling ready for that yet, I will understand and you are welcome to spend the night in the guest room." "Thank you, Carlisle. I appreciate your patience. I think I am ok with sharing the bed with you, if that's alright?" Bella asked shyly. "Of course" Carlisle smiled at her as he stood from the couch and moved toward her. "Shall we?" he placed his hand on her lower back and guided her towards the master bedroom.

Once they reached the master suite, Bella was feeling a bit more anxious about her decision to share a room on their first night together. She made her way towards the bed and quickly climbed underneath the covers. Carlisle sensed her nervousness and knowing that she may appreciate a minute to get settled in, excused himself to the restroom to change his clothes and shower. Bella was grateful to have some time to catch her breath. When Carlisle emerged from the bathroom a few minutes later, he was wearing a pair of black and gray cotton sleep pants and a light weight white t-shirt. Bella hadn't realized that she was ogling him until Carlisle's words shook her from her trance. "Do you see something you like, Bella?" Carlisle spoke in a seductive voice.

Bella glanced down at her lap, feeling embarrased to have been caught staring. Carlisle made his way to his side of the bed before pulling back the covers to join her. "Hey, none of that now. There is no shame in enjoying the view." Carlisle winked at her and she smiled shyly. "Come here, you." Carlisle said as he laid down next to her and opened his arms, welcoming her to cuddle up against him." Bella scooted towards him on the bed and snuggled in with her back against his chest as his muscular arm draped over her and pulled her close. "Rest now, sweet Bella." he murmured into her hair as he switched off the light.

Bella focused on her breathing and inhaled Carlisle's intoxicating scent as she slowly drifted to sleep. Before long she was sleeping peacefully in Carlisle's embrace. Carlisle spent the night thinking about how lucky he was that Bella was here in his arms, and that the sweet innocent girl trusted him to take care of her in such an intimate way.

His mind wandered as he started to fantasize about the sounds she would make as his fingers and tongue brought her relentlessly to the brink of orgasm until she was begging for release. He imagined the way her back would arch off of the bed as her first ever orgasm overtook her. He couldn't wait to feel Bella's warm tight virgin pussy wrapped around his cock as he made love to her for the first time. He imagined her taking him, inch by inch, her body stretching to accommodate him as he moved in and out of her. Carlisle began to feel his dick harden at the thought and shifted, reminding himself that he needed to be patient and take things slowly. He had promised to be gentle with her, and he intended to keep his promise. He also found himself extremely grateful that Edward was not nearby to hear the lustful thoughts he was having about his fiancée.

For now, he was perfectly content just holding her while she slept. He knew that the next day would be full of new experiences for her and that she needed her rest. Bella slept soundly for the remainder of the night and started to stir when she heard the sound of birds singing in the trees outside the bedroom window early the next morning.

"Good morning, sweetheart." Carlisle whispered to her, kissing the top of her head. Bella smiled and sat up, stretching her arms above her head. She excused herself to use the restroom and then crawled back under the covers next to him. "How did you sleep?" he asked her. "I slept really well actually. Thanks, Carlisle. I really appreciate you holding me all night. I'm sure that was probably a long and boring night for you."

"It was my pleasure, Bella." Carlisle leaned closer and purred into her ear. Bella shivered with arousal and Carlisle chuckled softly. Little did she know that his night full of fantasies of what was to come over the next few days was far from boring.

Laying next to Carlisle in bed, Bella's mind began to wander. She started to think about what the day would entail. The thought of him seeing her naked and exposed made her muscles tense. Carlisle sensed that she was feeling anxious again and he gently rested his open palm on her stomach. "Bella, I can tell you're feeling anxious. Would you like to talk about what's troubling you?"

Bella took a deep steadying breath and spoke with a shaky voice "I'm just really nervous about everything that I know we are going to be doing today." "Bella, sweetheart, please look at me" Carlisle spoke to her in a calming voice. She looked at him, and it was clear that she was feeling embarrased that she was so anxious. "I promise to talk you through everything I do with you today. You can trust me, sweetheart. Now, how about you let me give you a massage? I can feel how tense your muscles are, and my hands never get tired." He winked at her. "Oh, um, sure, that would be nice." Bella spoke shyly as she rolled over onto her stomach.

Carlisle slowly worked her tense muscles with his strong hands, first staying on top of her clothing so he did not startle her. "Bella," he spoke again, "Would you be alright with removing your tank top? You will still have your bra on. It will feel so much better if your shirt isn't in the way." "Oh, sure, I guess that would be okay." Bella blushed, feeling grateful that she had decided to sleep in a bra. With shaky hands, Bella slowly pulled her tank top off and over her head, setting it off to the side.

Carlisle had to supress a growl as Bella's body was slowly revealed to him. "That's it," he whispered to her as he continued to massage her shoulders and back without the barrier of her shirt. He couldn't wait until she was comfortable removing her bra. He looked forward to teasing her nipples with his cool tongue and showing her just how much pleasure they could bring her. "Just relax and trust me. Take some deep breaths." he encouraged her. Slowly, Carlisle worked the sore muscles of her back and shoulders. He knew that she was not ready for him to see her naked yet, but this was a step in the right direction.

After Carlisle was satisfied that Bella was relaxed again, he placed a few feather light kisses on her lower back making her shiver with desire and she sighed. "Bella, are you ready for breakfast?" he asked her "Sure, that would be great" she said smiling up at him as she slipped her shirt back on. Bella opted for some yogurt and granola. She didn't like to eat anything too heavy in the morning, and her stomach was already doing somersaults due to her nerves.

When Bella had finished her breakfast, Carlisle spoke again. "Bella, sweetheart, would you join me in the living room? I'd like to discuss the plan for the day." He stated, giving her a kind smile. "Sure, Carlisle." Bella said shyly and followed him to the living room. "Bella, I'd love to spend the day showing you more of the island and surrounding area. Our family owns a small yacht that is docked on the other side of the island. I'd like to take you out on it. Do you get seasick?" Carlisle asked her. "No, I don't." Bella replied. She had never had trouble with motion sickness or seasickness before, which she was grateful for.

"Great." Carlisle replied. "I thought you might enjoy a day out at sea. The yacht has a bathroom, bedroom and small kitchen, and we will have everything that we may need." Carlisle said with a smile. Bella loved the ocean and was excited to spend the day on the water.

"Did you pack a bathing suit?" Carlisle inquired. "Yes, I packed a couple actually." Bella replied. "Wonderful." He replied. "You may wish to wear one under your clothes in case we decide to go for a swim or enjoy the sunshine. Why don't you go ahead and get changed and I will get everything loaded on the boat?" Bella nodded before saying "That sounds great. I'll be right back" and she headed to the guest room to change into her swimsuit.

While Bella was getting dressed, Carlisle quickly collected his suitcase full of items he knew may come in handy during their time out at sea, including the toys, lubricant and everything else he would need to give her a quick examination before things progressed. Then he changed into a pair of board shorts and a t-shirt and ran to load the items onto the boat. Grateful for his vampiric speed, he made it back to the living room of the house just as Bella emerged from the guest bedroom.
She was wearing shorts and a fitted halter neck top that left little to the imagination and Carlisle could make out the lines of a bikini top underneath her shirt. Smiling at her he said "Bella, you are stunning." Bella smiled "Thank you, Carlisle. You're not half bad yourself" she teased. Carlisle chuckled as he offered her his hand. "Everything is loaded and ready to go. Shall we?" Bella took his hand and together they made their way towards the boat.
