Before the disclaimer, just wanted all of you to know that this is a re-post of Chapter 14. So, if you've already read it you don't have to do so again. Since the big bad glitch where we couldn't really log in, I wanted to re-post and make sure everybody really gets a chance to read and review (if they want). I also wanted to re-post because I got a couple of minor mistakes and I am such a perfectionist that I couldn't let them slip. Thanks for all of the story alert adds/favorites adds that I've been getting. They make me smile, smile, smile!
Disclaimer: I do not own "Twilight" or "Funny Face" but I wouldn't mind borrowing Edward or Emmett for about two weeks because, let's face it, a day wouldn't be enough right?
Hello my lovely, lovely readers and thank you for all the great reviews. Well, here it is the long awaited lemon. I decided to go ahead and get it done and out there. I'm thinking they might not have liked it if I created this at work and posted it from there, lol. So, you are getting an update a bit earlier than I originally planned, yay, right? I'm going to be honest I am scared out of my freaking mind!! I'm a nervous wreck because I'm just not sure if it's any good. It isn't very detail and it's mainly sweet and gentle (besides the F bomb that is dropped in the throes of passion but it happens, lol). I just don't have it in my to write a dirty lemon, I don't think. Besides, this called for sweet and gentle. Also, before anyone asks, let's just assume that Bella is on the pill for this. I didn't want to get bogged down in details like that when I was writing, so I'm telling you now. Anyway…enough of my insecurities here, lol. I hope all of you enjoy the chapter and don't be too harsh on me this is my first attempt at a lemon, after all.
READ ON!!

I was a complete nervous wreck as the driver took us to The Hotel Plaza Athénée. I knew we were both ready for this step in our relationship but I couldn't help but be scared that I wouldn't live up to her expectations, that I wouldn't be able to please her enough. I kept trying to convince myself that the love we felt for one another would ignite a fierce passion that would, no doubt, give us both intense pleasure. I wanted her to feel my love for her with every caress, with ever tender kiss. My previous, and only, experience in this area was fuzzy. I couldn't really remember many details which was actually a blessing considering who that experience had been shared with. I couldn't help the shudder than ran through my body as I thought of it and how Tanya hadn't left me alone since then until she finally walked out on us after we hired Bella. The angel sitting next to me must have noticed my restless and distracted emotions as she reached out and squeezed my hand.
"Edward? Are you okay?"
I smiled at her and took a moment to admire her lovely face as I reached out to stroke her cheek with my free hand.
"Yes, love, I'm fine. I'm, well, I'm just a bit nervous actually," I shyly admitted to her.
"Oh Edward," she sighed. "So am I but that's to be expected. Just remember that I love you."
"Thank you Bella and I love you too," I said noticing that we had come to a stop.
"We have arrived, Monsieur Cullen."
"Merci, Henri. We will be needing your services again tomorrow. I will call and let you know when to be here."
"Very well, Monsieur Cullen."
"Come on love," I said offering Bella my hand as we excited the car and headed toward the hotel.
"Wow. Edward, this hotel is amazing. You really shouldn't have."
"Nonsense, love. I wanted this time together to be memorable and special. This is part of that. Please just enjoy it and know that I only want the best for you."
"I know Edward," she said smiling at me and leaning up to give me a kiss on the cheek.
"You are too good to me and I love you."
I checked us in and we headed up to the Terrace Eiffel Suite. It was one of the most magnificent suites in Paris. The room itself was beautiful but it was the glass terrace that put it over the top. From that terrace you got a 360 degree view of the city. I knew Bella would love that. I could already imagine her eyes as they lit up and sparkled as she took in her surroundings. I did, however, plan to keep her away from that area until nightfall when the view would be the most exquisite. We were led to our room and finally alone like we had wanted for so long now.
"This is beautiful Edward. I knew it would be great but I never expected this."
"I'm glad you like it, love. It really is a lovely room isn't it? So, how about we go out and get some brunch. It's a bit late for breakfast now but not quite time for lunch. I thought we could do that, maybe walk around a bit and then head back to the room," I suggested.
Sure, I wanted nothing more than to make love to her but I wasn't about to just jump her the minute we were left alone in the hotel room. She deserved for this experience to be better than that. I wanted this to be memorable for her. We had both admitted that our prior experiences were less than stellar and that is the main reason I hadn't already taken advantage of any recent opportunities, such as this morning in her hotel room. I didn't ever want her to look back on this with as much regret as she did with her experience with Jacob.
"Sure, that sounds great. I didn't eat this morning before we left the other hotel and I really want to look around the city a bit. Let's not stay out too long though, okay?"
"I don't plan on it love," I whispered huskily in her ear. I may be a gentleman, and I may be taking this slow for her, but I was still a man who planned on fulfilling every desire his girlfriend had in the bedroom and out of the bedroom. We were soon headed out of the hotel in search of a place to eat. We discovered a little café very near the hotel and decided to try out their cuisine. Soon enough we were both stuffed with some of the richest, and best tasting French food I had ever had. We left the café and just walked around for a while with no real destination. We ended up staying out until after five when it was just starting to turn dark.
"Let's head back, Edward. I'm ready to go back to the room."
"Yes, me too."
It seemed like each step got us no closer to the hotel, almost like it would take an eternity to finally get there but we were soon standing in our room again. It was dark enough by then that she would be able to enjoy the view from the terrace.
"Come on love, I want to show you something."
I led her up to the terrace with my hands over her eyes. Once I got her in a good position for her to be able to get a clear view, I moved my hands from her eyes and heard her gasp.
"Oh Edward," she said with her eyes alight, "this is incredible."
"I think it is, by far, one of the best views the city has to offer."
She came over to me then and wrapped me in a loving embrace.
"Thank you Edward, for everything. I love you more than I could ever say," she said as she leaned up to kiss me softly on the lips.
Our innocent kiss soon turned into a more heated and passionate kiss as I found myself leading us back to the room. Bella wrapped her arms around my neck and wound her fingers in my hair while I lifted her up, wrapping her legs around my waist. I was trying my best to lead us back to the bed without tripping but it was hard to do when I couldn't tear even the smallest bit of attention away from this dangerously beautiful creature in my arms. I finally did manage to make it there and we broke apart from our kissing as I gently placed Bella back on her feet. I reached out to cup her face in my hands and gave her a soft, slow kiss before pulling back to lean my forehead on hers as I gazed into her eyes.
"Are you sure you're ready for this, love?"
"Yes, Edward. I've never been more ready for anything else in my life than I am right now. Do you want this? We can wait if you don't."
"Oh love, I want this so much. I want you. I love you, forever."
"Forever," she sighed as our lips found each other again.
We took our time as we shed each other of our clothes. I wanted to memorize every inch of her and I got the impression she wanted to do the same with me. We had explored each other several times in our more heated make out sessions but none of that had ever prepared me for seeing Bella completely nude. She was the most beautiful creation I had ever seen. No painting. No sculpture. No wonder of the world could ever compare to this breathtaking creature that I could call all mine. I looked into her eyes once again and all of my previous apprehension melted away as I saw only adoration, love and complete trust reflected back at me.

I had waited so long to feel like this. Nothing could have ever prepared me for the sheer pleasure even the slightest of touches from Edward gave me. He kissed me and caressed me as if I was a sacred treasure. I had never felt so cherished in my life. We took our times exploring every inch of each other's bodies. We were laying side by side, kissing passionately as we let our hands travel over each other. I sighed and gasped as one of his hands found its way to my breast, lightly kneading and massaging it. He continued his exploration downward as his hand lightly ghosted over my waist and made its way to caress my thigh. I moved my hand over the planes of his chest, his defined abs and down into that wonderful patch of hair that led to what I desired the most. My hand seemed to have a mind of it's own as it suddenly came to rest on his very prominent erection.
"Bella," Edward sighed throwing his head back in pleasure as I lovingly stroked him.
"God, that feels so good, love," he said before dipping his head down to my breast kissing and laving it sending a thrill through my body.
"Oh Edward," I moaned, "more."
With that encouragement, he slowly moved his hand, which was still on my thigh, between my legs and let his finger lightly stroke me as I continued to stroke him. We both moaned loudly at the sensations we were creating in each other's bodies. I felt like fire was coursing through my veins from the pleasure his mouth and hands were giving me. He brought his head back up and began kissing me again.
"Bella," he groaned. "Stop, love," he said moving my hand from him.
"I want to be inside you. If you don't stop now, I won't last much longer."
"Oh," I said breathlessly, realizing why he had stopped me.
He positioned us to where I was under him and reached up to push a stray hair from my face.
"Ready?" He asked again.
"Yes," I replied as I leaned up to kiss him.
"I love you," he said as he slowly entered me.
I nearly exploded right then from the sensation of Edward finally being inside me. This was nothing like it had been with Jacob. That had been awkward, painful and extremely disappointing. This was passionate and the most pleasurable feeling I had ever experienced.
"Oh, God, Edward," I moaned loudly.
"Bella," he growled as he finally pushed himself completely inside.
"Oh, Bella, you feel amazing, love," he said as he began to move slowly.
His pace was becoming torturous to me, keeping me teetering right on the edge.
"Faster Edward, please."
He leaned over me further and captured my lips again as he began to move at a faster pace. I could feel myself falling ever closer to my climax and knew he wasn't far behind as his movements became more erratic and he began to moan louder.
"Edward! Oh, God, don't stop. I'm almost there," I practically screamed.
"Me too, love. Oh, Bella. Fuck," he yelled as I fell over the edge bringing him with me.
He collapsed next to me and we both laid there panting for air. I rolled over and cuddled next to him as he wrapped his arms around me.
"Bella, that was more amazing than I could have ever imagined and my imagination is pretty damn amazing if I do say so myself. I love you so much."
"I love you too Edward. You were incredible. Thank you."
"Why are you thanking me?"
"For being so gentle with me and making this an experience I will never forget," I said as I kissed him.
"I should be thanking you love. That was incredible," he sighed and then chuckled looking at me mischievously.
"How about we create more amazing experiences?"
"Let's do that," I said giggling as he pulled me on top of him kissing me and starting, what I was sure, was another round.

After making love with Bella, several times I might add, I couldn't understand why I had ever been nervous to begin with. It was everything I could have ever wanted and more. We were made for each other. We did manage to, eventually, make it out of the hotel room later the next day to start sightseeing. Over our time in Paris I took her to see all the things that were the cliché tourist spots but she loved it. We went to the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, the Musée d'Orsay, the Notre Dame Cathedral, the Champs-Elysee and so much more. We did, however, spend an obscene amount of time in our room but neither one of us complained about that. We simply enjoyed our time exploring Paris and each other. Our time together flew by and it was soon time to go home but we weren't too sad. We'd had such a memorable time here but we were both ready to say goodbye to this romantic city, for now. This time would always hold a special place in our hearts as we went on in life to make more memories together. I was more sure now, than ever before, that I had to have Bella by my side forever. I would make her my wife someday and I couldn't wait to see what fate had in store for our lives together.
Yay! So, it finally happened for them. I hope it wasn't a disappointment. Like I said, I wanted something sweet and gentle and this seemed right for them. I don't know if I'll ever attempt to do that again, lol. That was the most nerve wracking thing I have ever had to write. I still have the link for the virtual tour of the Terrace Eiffel Suite on my profile page if you haven't already checked that out. I will also be posting the link for The Hotel Plaza Athénée. So, I'm thinking the next chapter will be the last official chapter and the chapter sixteen will be the Epilogue. I don't think there is really much more I can do with this story now and I don't want to drag it on forever making it dull and void of the fun and sweetness I had planned. Thanks to all of you for reading. Thanks to my faithful and new reviewers and also those of you who have added me to your Favorites/Alerts. I've had so much fun doing this and I'm looking forward to continuing. I'm playing around with some ideas in my head but I haven't really come up with anything solid yet. Make sure you add me to your author alerts, if you haven't already, for when I do turn that idea into something concrete! Until next time…..
