Chapter 13

Bella was standing next to Edward as he was seated while partially listening to crew's report after they came back from their inspection of the minimal damage inflicted to the resort by the tsunami. There were a few flooded resort houses especially those that were closer to the beach. Bella placed her hand on his shoulder, when Edward chuckled broke her flashback of the past few tense hours worrying about the tsunami. Edward knew Bella could start panicking the moment the sirens went off announcing the incoming tsunami. But she stood firm next to him, as the manager and owner Edward had to be out front, strong and confident so everyone else around was calm and collected.

Edward barked out orders making sure everyone is accounted for, and told everybody to get to the safety of their houses and away from the beaches. He brought those unsure for their safety in their resort houses could come to the main building into their very large conference room for food and drinks to wait out he tsunami, since the main building was on higher ground.

"Well that's great to hear," Edward said. "I am happy to know all the precautions Jasper and Emmett made last time made a difference today. We will help clear any debris and fallen trees this afternoon, so we don't have to deal with cleaning up in the dark, so let's get that done asap. Let's try to schedule the entire staff to get together with all the guests for a brief update and celebrate with a dinner party." Bella toyed with a new ring on her finger. She smiled remembering when Edward gave her part of his heart.


On the last night before Edward would sail their boat back towards Robinson Crusoe Island, Edward set up a wonderful and romantic sunset dinner. Edward covered Bella's eyes with his hands as he walked them down the small pier towards their boat. They had been on the island, sightseeing, while Edward called for a surprise. Bella smiled as she found a beautifully set table for two aboard a special dinner, with champagne and wine, and the setting sun.

"What is this?"

"You wanted romance."

"You have given me plenty of romance Edward," Bella said.

"I know. Now here is more."

They headed below deck after dinner to find red rose petals scattered all about and more champagne on ice. Bella gasped when Edward presented a ring in a box. At first Bella thought he was maybe proposing. And as scary as that should have been, she wasn't. If Edward did propose Bella would have said yes in an instant. Edward did ensured Bella after he gave her the ring, he thought about proposing to her many times and this would be a perfect moment, but for right now this was the first step to their engagement. Inside the ring box, a very beautiful ring.

The four elements air ring is a dazzling piece honoring both the visual and spiritual cosmos. It was made with Chilean gems, created on Robinson Crusoe Island. The blue lapis lazuli ether is the background on which a luminous crescent moon and stars sparkle in yellow gold and pave diamonds. A radiant white gold and diamond shooting star complete the face of the ring. The ring's reverse of crescent moon and star reminds us of the connective patterns of the universe. This tranquil design in yellow gold and diamonds over a blue lapis background eases the mind and inspires an energizing clarity.

"It's….it's beautiful." Edward pulled the ring out of the box.

"It came from a full set with a matching pendant and earrings. I received the full set when I first surpassed a million dollars in revenue. Zafrina found Chilean reclaimed, recycled precious gems and metal. She said the collection connects the wearer to the physical and spiritual world. Each piece was designed to remind us of daily blessings and gestures that show gratitude. I already gave the earrings to my mother and the pendant to Rosalie, but I kept the ring because I wanted to give it to the woman of my dreams. The woman I knew I would love forever."

"I...I will cherish it." Edward slipped the ring onto Bella's middle finger on her right hand.

"This ring, a talisman for air and ether elements. You are the air I breathe, you are the ether of my soul and this ring celebrates the beauty of change and evolution which you have brought to my life the moment you stepped into my resort."


Edward placed his hand at Bella's side, breaking the wonderful flashback of getting the ring.

"Hey, you okay?" Edward asked.

"Oh yeah," Bella said still toying with her new ring. Bella brought her hand to cup his chin. She smiled.

"You can head back to the house with Alice. We can handle this."
"No, I want to stay with you."

"It's going to be very boring business cleaning up."

"I don't care." Bella moved into Edward's lap. Her arm stayed around his neck. "As long as I am with you, I am very happy." Edward reached over for a kiss. They shared a sweet kiss before Jasper cleared his throat.

"You two gonna make out or help us clean?"

"I would rather make out," Edward said pulling Bella back to kiss. Bella giggled. She pushed Edward back.

"We should help clean."


Edward woke up to find Bella whimpering in her sleep later that night. He quickly turned and placed his arm around her. After the stress of today, it didn't surprise Edward that Bella would be having some type of nightmare. Bella moaned in pain.

"Bella.." Edward moved Bella over to face him, wrapping his arm around her. "Bella...baby...wake up.." Edward softy started shaking Bella's face awake. Bella gasped and opened her eyes. She sat up fast, nearly knocking heads with Edward. Bella's baby blue satin slip lingerie with lace trim straps slightly fell down. Edward sat up with Bella, kissing her shoulder before fixing one strap. "What's wrong Beautiful?"

"Edward?" Bella looked at him.

"Yeah, it was just a dream baby, I'm here."

"A dream? It was just a dream?" Edward fixed some of Bella's sweaty hair back.

"Yes. Are you ok? Do you want to talk about it?"

"A dream!" Bella immediately crawled out of bed and left the room.

"Bella?" Edward quickly got of bed and followed her. Bella found her laptop and opened it. "Bella?!"

"Shhhhh!" Bella watched her laptop load page before she opened a word document. She started typing immediately.

"Bella?"

"Shhh…" Bella continued typing away.


Edward was looking at himself in the mirror, completely happy in his life. At over 30 years old now, Bella put even the most gorgeous 18 year old girls to shame. She had the perfect body for sex. They both had bodies built for fucking. Edward came out the bathroom to find Bella still on her laptop. It has been a couple of days since the typing started.

"You hungry?"

"I'm fine," Bella said, finishing off a sentence. Edward read a few paragraphs over Bella's shoulder. She had a picture of the ring in the corner as if she was writing from it. Bella was typing a story about a woman. She was called Eva. She was described like ether, the space of the cosmos where all potential lives, and Veer, a man appearing from air, and like the wind they came together like one breath and love forms. It was like she took the ring and called upon it through inspirations that cannot be contained with just thoughts and feelings. She used her dream to turn into words. And Veer reflected the personal freedom of transformation and the strength of our potential of reaching the stars. Edward smiled as Bella was writing her first true romance story. He went to get some food for her and more water.


Edward found Bella in one of his white t-shirt with grey drawstring shorts with Edward's white socks a few days later. It was Tuesday, August 18th. About a week ago, Bella had the dream that sent her into a fury to write.

"She has been at that computer for 6 days now? Should I be worried?" Edward asked Alice, who was out on a boat trip with himself and Jasper. Alice smiled.

"Nah, she'll come up for air within the next week. Whatever you do, don't bother her."
"Oh I know." Edward got cursed out by Bella three times already when he tried to get her to stop for breakfast, lunch or dinner. She threw the plate to the ground in angry when he tried to force feed her. Edward has never seen this side of the woman he loves. It was terrifying. Edward only feared one woman, his mother, now he can add Bella when she is creating to the list.

"Just put food and water around her every few hours. She's on auto pilot right now. If you interrupt her, she will stab you. I got this scar from a butter knife. She hit me clear across the room when I tried to make her eat a biscuit with butter," Alice said showing the mark on her arm. "And that girl has shitty aim."

"Ok."

"Has she attacked you yet?"

"What?"

"She will get horny once she gets close to the end of typing."

"Well, she hasn't…we haven't.."

"Oh well, just wait! She is going to want so much sex when she is closer to the finish," Alice said. "It's like euphoria. Keep that in mind."


Edward groaned as Bella leaned in and kissed him deeply. She was dressed in a very seductive and playful French styled see through black lace negligee lingerie with white frills and white polka dots trim and sheer panties. Edward had brought dinner, but seeing Bella in that sexy lingerie was too much to eat. In no time Edward and Bella were naked and pawing at each other. Edward has always taken note on how beautiful Bella was, but for some reason, tonight more than most nights, she was extremely beautiful. Maybe because she had been ignoring him the past week while typing. Edward didn't hold back as he gently thrust into her.

Bella moaned as Edward loved the way her breasts swayed erotically atop her chest. He reached down and clutched her hips, more quickly pumping himself in and out of her gorgeous pussy. When switching to doggy Edward was captivated by her incredible ass, slapping it lightly and watching the tight ripple along her creamy skin. Bella has kept a nice tan since staying on the island. Her soft moans of pleasure didn't take long to send Edward quickly over the edge. He came, faster than normal with a week of not having sex and rubbing it out in showers, but Edward was lucky Bella reached her orgasm right before he erupted. They laid together for a moment, kissing passionately, eventually both heading into the bathroom for a shower.

Bella allowed Edward to drag her from her laptop for some dinner and a fire show. But they didn't last long during the show. Bella rubbed her ass against Edward's bulging cock as her back was to his chest. Edward pulled back the top of Bella's dress, baring one breasts which he cupped and twisted the nipple. After walking to coals, Edward and Bella were kissing too hotly to stay in public. Bella dragged Edward back to his house. She was dressed in a nice cream white midi length dress with an exposed low back, and halter neck, which made easy access. Edward pulled both breasts from her dress, caressing and cupping her breasts before twisting her nipples as his mouth left hot kisses all over her neck. Bella held her hands up, burying her fingers into his hair. She moaned when Edward pulled up her dress, ripping aside her panties and burying his cock into her welcoming wet pussy.

After some more very hot, and very passionate sex, Bella jumped up from bed and from Edward to start typing her story again. She was close to the end and knew it. Her story was rounding to the end nicely. Bella was buck naked at the computer desk. Edward watched from the bed before falling asleep. Bella left open some chapters while showering, which Edward took the opportunity to read. Edward realized how amazing a writer Bella truly was. He nearly finished the first page when Bella found him.

"Hey! No, no, no! No one reads my stories until it's finished! And especially not until my editor checks it out! Step back!."

"Fine!" Edward help up his hands and step away from the laptop screen.


Edward brought Bella to a private secluded part of the beach. He set up massage cushion pillow table on a blanket the sand. It was Thursday, August 27. Bella had sent off her finished book and notes to Angela, who greedily couldn't wait to read the new story. She promised to get back to Bella once she finishes reading and editing her story which typically takes a few days.

"What is this?"

"You have been typing for over 2 weeks and I wanted to surprise you with a nice relaxing massage on the beach." Bella smiled.

"A massage? From you?"

"Did you like my massage the last time?"

"Oh yeah. That was the best massage ever."

"Good."

Edward went to remove Bella's bikini top but she pulled back.

"It's a private beach are. I own as part of the resort this part and I had Jasper put blocking access for today, trust me. No one will see us."

"Ok." Bella let Edward untie her string bikini top. She pulled off her bottoms. Edward helped Bella lay on her stomach on top of the long massage plush bed mat. He settled another pillow under her stomach.

"Now close your eyes and relax." Bella nodded. Edward started at the soles of Bella's feet, as Bella let the waves crashing against the shore send her off to massage heaven. There was some soft music playing from a bluetooth speaker. Bella sighed as Edward walked his hands along her naked back and butt. Edward massaged her hips and thighs before settling on her butt. Hours and hours of sitting at a computer screen, Edward knew her sore spots. Edward grabbed some oil.

"You should take off those shorts," Bella moaned. "You don't want to get oil on them."

"Right." Edward stood up and pulled off his shorts and boxers. After getting naked, he continued the massage. Bella turned her head to find Edward's cock on full display. She smiled and took a nibble at his long cock. Edward groaned. "This is about you Beautiful. Behave."

"Fine," Bella said, put not without taking another nibble. Edward chuckled.

Bella moaned, as Edward started massage her opening, running his fingers up and down, circling her clit with his thumb. He leaned down and kissed her opening. As Edward licked Bella's pussy, his hands massaged her butt. Bella came from his tongue and magic fingers. She rolled over to her back. Edward moved the second pillow under Bella's head before he grabbed more oil before he started massage in her arms and shoulders. Edward worked Bella's biceps and wrists knowing how sore her arms would be after all that typing. Bella moaned when Edward's hands connected to her breasts. He squeezed and caressed her breasts. He leaned down over Bella and took her nipples into his mouth.

Edward moved to kneeling between Bella's legs . He rubbed up and down her legs. Edward rubbed her inner thighs before his fingers buried back into Bella's pussy. As Bella was coming, Edward leaned down and kissed her on the lips. To cool off, Bella and Edward went into the water naked. Bella wrapped her arms and legs around a naked Edward as he swam them deeper into the waters.

As the waves continued to crash against the beach shore, Bella moved up and down Edward's hard cock. Her moans loud. Edward gripped Bella's waist, moving with her. Their bodies came together in full passion. Edward sat up, wrapping his arms around Bella, as they kissed. He flipped them over, his cock never leaving her warm pussy, as he laid Bella down to the mat. Bella's legs lifted up around his waist, as Edward thrusted deep back into Bella. They were lucky this part of the beach was private. Bella's moaning was getting louder with each thrust.

Bella welcomed Edward's weight as he laid on top of her after they both finished making love back on the beach. Her arms wrapped around him.

"I love you."

"I love you too."


Bella walked through the JFK airport dressed in a simple white t-shirt, blue denim jeans, and worn down black Converse sneakers carrying a black duffle bag. It was mid morning, after 10am. A little over 14 hours ago, she was in the comfort of Edward's arms, hugging and kissing him goodbye. Now she was back home in New York. It was Monday, August 31st. Bella didn't realize how fast her publishing company would want to see her, but after Angela submitted her story late Saturday afternoon, she had a meeting on Tuesday. Angela was able to get a flight out Sunday evening from Chile back to the States, which surprised Edward that Bella was leaving so quickly. He knew her life was back in New York. He was sad to see her go so quickly. Bella told herself she was coming back, she didn't need to be sad, but she didn't know if that was true. During the take-off, she cried to herself, unsure about everything and feeling like she left her heart behind.

Bella walked into her apartment. She was happy to be home, though missing Edward. And it was a long flight back home, so she was tired, having slept a couple of hours here and there on the overnight flight.

"Angela?" Bella put her rolling suitcases and duffle bag down. "Angela?" Bella felt like she left a lot of things back on Robinson Crusoe, having just a day to pack up, but since Alice was staying back on the island with Jasper, she knew she could get them. After every fashion show, Alice usually takes a few weeks off to a whole month off before collaborating to create her new line of clothing. Bella gasped when Wesley came out of a bedroom and walked down the hallway towards her .

"Hey."

"Uh hey, what are you doing here? Where is Angela?"

"She didn't tell you?"

"Tell me what?"

"Fuck, I thought she would have told you."

"Told me what Wes?!" All of a sudden, Angela came rushing into the apartment.

"Bella! Hey! You're here early!"
"Yeah, there was a slight delay, but we made it up in the air and arrived actually on time. What is he doing here?" Bella asked.

"Why didn't you call me so I could pick you up from the airport?" Angela asked.

"You don't have a car."

"I could taken a cab there and picked you up!"

"Why are you not answering my question Angela? Why is Wes in our apartment?"

"Come, let's get some food."

"I am not hungry?"

"Well, some coffee then."

"I don't want some fucking coffee! Why is Wes here?"

"Bella please…"

"Angela!"

"I left Ellie. Bella, I made a mistake," Wes said. "I should have never let you go. I love you. I love you so much and I want you back Bella."

Bella gasped.
