Thanks Paige for editing!

I keep wanting to put song lyrics at the beginning of these chapters but, despite being a Texan myself, I don't listen to country music. If you guys have any suggestions, please tell me haha!

BPOV:

My body feels like jelly as I wake up the next morning. I stretch with a sigh. The things Edward does to me, still has me in utter disbelief. The way he moves, the way he takes his time to make sure I get off… he's a Godsend. I wonder if he knows just how incredible he is. I bet he does. I'm sure many women have sung his praise before. Part of me is jealous by that idea, while another,more prominent part of me, wants to thank every single woman he's been with for making him what he is now. My ex used to fumble around in bed. He would get off and quite literally, roll over and fall asleep. With Edward I'm the one falling asleep, and it's his cock that nudges me and stirs me back to consciousness.

"What's on the agenda today?" I ask with a yawn as I rub my ass against his crotch underneath the sheets.

He pulls me tighter against his chest and kisses my hair before answering, "I was thinking we should extend our road trip by a few more days. We're only three hours or so outside of El Paso right now… and I don't think I'm ready to go back home just yet."

I smile at this. He doesn't want to go back just yet. He wants to spend more time with me! "Really? Well, what were you thinking?" I ask, turning just enough to get a glimpse of his handsome face.

"How do you feel about camping?" he asks as he nuzzles my neck.

Camping? I honestly haven't been camping since I was a child. I think I went with my dad and a few of my cousins when I was a preteen, but I remember not loving the "great outdoors". However, camping with Edward will certainly be different than camping with my father.

"I'm all right with anything we do," I say brightly, hoping I don't eat my words later.

Edward gives me an incredulous look, probably hearing the uncertainty in my voice, before kissing my cheek. "Well, I haven't been to the Guadalupe Mountains in a while. We can go hiking and camping, and stay for a few days. If you're up for it, of course. If not, we can just hike around the area and stay in a hotel."

I smirk at this because it makes me think of my mom. She went on a camping trip with my dad and me once and hated it so much. She made us pack up the tent and all of our gear, and stay in a hotel for the night. She said she didn't want to sleep with "God knows what" next to her, and funnily enough, she woke up in the middle of the night to find a big spider in her nice, hotel bed. Dad and I couldn't stop laughing, but my mom was not amused.

"What are you smiling about?"

"Nothing. I was just remembering how high maintenance my mom used to be when I was growing up. She wouldn't dream of sleeping under the stars. And just the thought of not being able to take a nice bath and do her hair and makeup in the morning would be too much for her." I giggle.

"Well, I'm glad you're not like that Bells."

Well, at least not that I know of. While I'm not high maintenance like my mother, I'm not sure how I'll fare after hours of hiking. I love the outdoors-but I don't want to embarrass myself in front of Edward. Although, I'm sure he wouldn't care. He doesn't seem like the type to make someone feel bad about anything. I'm sure he'll be supportive and gregarious every step of the way.

"The only thing is, I don't have anything to wear. It's not like I packed hiking boots for my honeymoon on the beach."

Edward looks at me oddly for a moment, before smiling. It's almost as if he forgot all about the fact that I ran away from my own wedding. "We can stop at a sporting goods store and get you some things to wear. Besides, I don't have a tent or anything with me. We can just grab all that stuff before we reach the park."

"Are you sure you want to spend that kind of money?" I ask, although, I'm not sure why I bother. We've already spent a good deal of pocket change on our road trip so far. However, this could be a once in a lifetime experience, and I want to savor it and go all out. It's not everyday you road trip with an incredibly hot companion.

"Bells, money is no problem for me. I'm not trying to sound full of it when I say that, but I work really hard and I'm smart about my spending. I usually try to save my money, but I also don't often get the chance to go on road trips with beautiful women," he says, winking at me.

I blush under his gaze and bury my head in the crook of his neck. "Well, if you're sure."

"Of course, I'm sure, Bells. Now, let's get your sexy behind out of bed and showered so we can hit the road."

I find myself completely lost in the local sporting goods store. Not that I've never been to one-I've gone quite a few times with my dad growing up-however, I never really knew what anything was. With Edward at my side, we look at tents, air mattresses, sleeping bags, and some backpacks. I pretend to look as if I have some clue about what some of this stuff is. I mean, I know the basics, but some of this stuff just seems unnecessary to me. What in heaven's name is the difference between the dome tent and the ultimate dome tent? This all seems so frivolous to me. I stop as we pass by a line of air mattresses and smile. One of these would definitely be a step up from sleeping in a sleeping bag on the cold, hard ground.

"Bells, an air mattress?" Edward questions my choice with a grin. "I thought you'd want to tough it out?"

"You really want to make love to me on the ground, Edward?" I question, raising my brow at him.

"I wouldn't mind." He grins. "But, if this will make you more comfortable, we'll get the air mattress. But I'm going to pick out the tent."

"That's fine by me. I don't know anything about this camping stuff."

Edward smiles at this as he throws a cooler into our cart, which is filling up quickly. He's incredibly thorough, buying everything he thinks we could possibly need on our two-day camping trip. He's definitely in his element and I love seeing him like this. He's so happy-so carefree. I wonder if he's always like this. I'm sure El Paso has its stressors for him, especially with the type of job he has, riding bulls for a living. Right now, he seems so guileless. It's such a treat for me to watch.

We leave the store with seven bags of supplies and a tent. Edward went all out, and insisted on paying for all of it, despite my pleas to contribute. He bought me a new pair of hiking boots, and some new clothes since my wardrobe didn't exactly fit the "great outdoors". Per Edward's request, I tried on all of the clothes for him and gave him a little fashion show in the dressing room. I received a few disapproving looks from some of the other female shoppers, but I didn't bother paying them any mind. Edward's opinion was the only one I cared about… and he seemed very pleased. While I'm not a great hiker, I definitely wouldn't mind the chance to prance around in the woods with my derriere on display for him. Maybe we could see what it's like to make love on the cold, hard ground…

"What are you thinking so hard about, Bells?"

I hadn't realized I was just standing there next to our cart as Edward put our bags into the extended cab of his truck. I flush and run a hand through my curly hair. "Nothing, I was just thinking about our trip. How far away are we from the park?"

"About a half hour give or take," Edward replies as he throws the last bag into the truck. "We can hike for a few hours and then set up camp." He opens the passenger door for me and smiles. "Make sure to wear the thick socks I bought you, Bells. I know they may look silly, but you're going to have a terrible time today without them. Trust me, blisters and hiking aren't a good mix."

I don't need to experience that myself to believe him. The drive to the park is short, and uneventful. Edward plays his favorites and taps along to the beats on his steering wheel while I watch the vein in his forearm twitch with every movement. In fact, I'm so embarrassingly fixated on it I barely notice our arrival.

As I look up to take in the scenery, my eyes widen in shock. I can't believe this is what he had in mind. It's beautiful, incredible even to my untrained eye, but it doesn't look like an easy hike. Not by any means. The terrain might be gorgeous to look at, but I doubt it's as pleasing to hike through for hours at a time. Edward must sense my unease, because he reaches across the console to grab hold of my hand, squeezing it as if to release some of my built up tension.

I give him a small smile, which I'm sure looks more like an awkward grimace, before reaching down with my forehand to tug on the laces of my new hiking boots.

"Did I tell you that I'm really clumsy?"

I hear him chuckle, and look up to see him smirking at me. "No, you didn't mention that. But don't worry, I won't let you fall." He winks and I try my best to put on a brave face.

You will not embarrass yourself in front of this man. You will not embarrass yourself in front of this man. I feel like if I repeat the mantra enough times, I might not do anything stupid.

"Ready to go, Bells?"

I squeeze his hand and grin, this time, not feeling quite as nervous. "Ready as I'll ever be."

A/N: Only two more chapters before they reach El Paso. Then we'll just have to see what happens ;). Please review!
