Finally. Finally. We were finally alone.

"I love you Bella." I whispered against the skin of her neck.

She shivered as my lips caressed the back of her neck and my hands rubbed up and down her arms slowly. She was so soft, and I was ready to rid her of her dress.

"Alistair." She whispered breathlessly as my right arm encircled her waist and pulled her into my body so she was able to feel my need.

"Yes my love?"

"I'm not sure if I can. I don't want to hurt you lover."

I turned her in my arms so that she was looking at me, her eyes were glistening, she was afraid and I didn't want her to be. She doesn't need to be.

"Hey, I know you can do this. You won't hurt me love."

"How can you be so sure?"

"Because I know you."

And that was all she needed to hear before her lips crashed upon mine in a passionate fiery kiss. I pulled her as close to my body as I could, my hands splayed on her bare back as hers entwined in my hair.

"I love you." She whispered softly as she pulled away from the kiss, her eyes hooded and darkening.

"As I love you."

With this she began slowly unbuttoning my shirt, looking into my eyes the whole time with such passion. Once my shirt and vest was open her hands went from my chest all the way down to my abs. I leaned my head back, loving the feel of her hands on my chest.

And then she left a soft, hot kiss on my chest right where my heart was. I shivered slightly as I shrugged the material off my shoulders, leaving me completely bare chested in front of the love of my life.

It's not like she has never seen me completely bare before, because she has, but this is different than all those times. We are giving ourselves together for the first time ever, as husband and wife.

She was busy admiring and exploring my chest as I worked the small pearl buttons of her dress. I could hear her soft sigh as I reached the last button just above her behind, instead of undoing it I turned her in my arms so her back was facing me.

I laid soft kisses across the back of her shoulders and down her back until I reached the very last button that would release her from her dress. I pulled it with my teeth and it released almost immediately.

Bella gasped softly as the fine material slipped from her body and pooled around her feet. Before turning her around to look at me I let my hands roam her body from her shoulders down to her waist until I grasped her waist and pulled her around to look at me.

Her eyes were shining brightly with love and passion as I took her into my arms and walked toward the bed.

"I want you." I whispered huskily into her ear once she was settled onto the bed splayed out before me in all her glory.

"Then have me."

I looked into her eyes, seeing the love, the want, the lust, the passion, everything that was reflected in my eyes at this very moment. This woman is my life, my love and I don't know what I would ever do without her.

I kissed her once heatedly before getting off the bed to pull my trousers off, my wife's eyes darkened with hunger as I undid my belt of my pants before slipping them from my hips. She smirked as she watched me crawl predatorily toward her.

"Alistair." She moaned softly as my lips caressed her soft skin.

"Yes love?"

"Make love to me."

My eyes instantly shot to hers, because it was happening it was truly happening. I smiled widely at her, giving her a quick kiss to the lips before taking my member in my hands and aligning myself with her entrance.

I looked into her eyes as I pushed slowly into her, loving the feel of her warmth as she enveloped me completely. Her face contorted in pain slightly but her eyes never left mine as I pushed all the way inside her.

I stopped when I was finally enveloped in her warmth, giving her time to adjust to me before I made her mine for the first time. She nodded her head softly, giving me permission to move.

At first my movements were painfully slow, for the both of us, but with every thrust of my hips the look of pain left her face and was replaced by sure bliss.

My lips were latched onto her neck, sucking and kissing my way down her chest as I made love to her. Her moans filled the quietness of the quarters, mixed with the sound of our skin moving against one another and the sound was music to my ears.

The feel of her heat surrounding me was like no other, I wasn't sure how much longer I would last but I would make sure she came before I did.

"Alistair."

"Almost love, I need you to come with me Bella." I rasped out as I grabbed onto her hips.

I picked up the pace, her pants becoming quicker as well, as we neared our orgasms together. It took a few more thrusts before our bodies shook violently.

"OH SWEET MOTHER MARY!"

"BELLA!"

I looked down at my wife, her eyes were closed tight but her face showed pure bliss with a soft smile on her lips. She looked so beautiful with her hair fanned across the pillow, skin glistening with a thin layer of sweat from our love making. She never looked more beautiful.

I smiled widely, knowing that this glorious creature was mine and mine alone. It made my heart sore.

"So beautiful." I whispered while caressing her cheek.

Her eyes opened slowly to look up at me, her beautiful smile gracing her lips-instantly arousing me again-she giggled softly as she felt it because I just so happened to still be inside her.

"You're my wife."

"And you're my husband."

She propped herself up on her elbows so that she was almost looking straight into my eyes. I shivered at hearing the words that fell from her lips. We're married, husband and wife, partners. I just can't believe it.

"Isabella Marie Bower." I whispered, just trying it out.

She smiled brightly at me, I could see the spark in her eye as I used her new name, knowing she loved hearing it as much as I loved saying it.

"Promise me something lover."

"Anything."

"Promise me that it will always be like this."

I looked at her for a long moment, wondering what she meant. She looked sincere and slightly worried and this didn't set well with me.

"What do you mean Bella?" I asked before pulling out of her and laying down with her in my arms.

"I mean, us, Alistair. I don't want things to change between us, ever. After I change you, things will be different, you're whole life will change. And I don't want our love or the way we are with one another to change. You are everything to me and I don't know what I would do if that ever changed, I-"

Her words caught on a sob as she spoke, I felt bad instantly as I pulled her closer to my chest while trying to calm her down. I hate seeing my love cry, especially over me, and on our wedding night no doubt.

"Shh, my love, shh. I promise you that no matter what. Nothing shall ever change. I'll make sure of this, pirate's honor."

She giggled at my words, I know how much she loves it when I use pirates honor or pirates code to make a promise to her.

"I love you so much Captain Bower." I smiled widely, looking down at the beautiful angel in my arms.

"As I love ye, first mate Bower."

My angel giggled uncontrollably as I kissed her neck lovingly, my hands began roaming her body once more and the night began all over again.

How I love this little vixen. Rarely is she ever vulnerable, and it is times like that that show me just how vulnerable she can truly be under her tough sexy exterior that I crave so much.

I will love and protect this woman for the rest of me life, no matter what she will always be the number one person in my life. I will do anything to keep her safe.

Little did I know, I would be put in the very position to fight for the love of my life sooner than I ever thought.

I know this chapter is short but it was just a small bit of their wedding night to set up for the next chapter which will be a pretty big deal.
