"Are you looking forward to our trip?"
Edward was pulling her closer into his arms, kissing her ear. They were cuddling and kissing in bed on a Sunday morning, floating on their own little cloud of bliss. Those were their favourite times – just being together, no voices from outside, no responsibilities, no work.
"Mmm-hmm," she murmured lazily, sneaking her perpetually cold feet between his calves.
Edward didn't flinch, merely chuckling good-naturedly. She had to admit she loved the protective side about him, the fact that he was always a gentleman. It had to do with his upbringing, his parents who were a very different generation than hers – well, and Edward, who wasn't exactly her generation, either. It didn't bother her anymore, and he only sometimes grumbled about "being an old man," which always resulted in her teasing him and making him prove that he was far from it.
As a matter of fact, she could feel the evidence of his virility against her bottom right now. For a man his age, his stamina was… impressive.
Bella sighed as she felt his lips whisper over her neck.
"I am." She turned around in his arms. "But right now, there's nowhere else I'd rather be." She placed a tender kiss on his lips, and he responded.
She loved their physical connection. She'd never experienced anything like this, never this strong. With Edward, there was so much more. He always made her feel revered, and sexy – things she hadn't been accustomed to feeling before. She was free with him, light.
His hand wandered from her hip to her ribs and higher, cupping her breast.
Obviously, he was more experienced than her, but Bella had gotten to a point where it didn't worry her anymore because the past was in the past.
"What are you thinking about?" he whispered against her lips.
She thought for a second before replying. She traced his eyebrow with her fingertip.
"Basically, just how good we have it. How happy I am."
"Mmm." Edward's smile literally warmed her heart. "So am I. You make me happy."
Their lips met in another kiss, deeper this time, and their hands began to wander again, touching and teasing and impatient, until Bella pushed him on his back and straddled his hips.
Their lovemaking was slow and intense, their fingers braided together as they watched one another. She loved to look at him in his passion, breathless and taken apart, knowing that she was the only one who could have him like this.
She cried out softly as her release shook through her, making her tremble endlessly. Edward's fingers were gripping her hips as he followed her seconds later, still looking at her, his face a picture of purest bliss.
They were catching their breath, and Edward was back to fondling her breasts.
"I don't want to be anywhere else, either," he murmured huskily, green eyes alive and trusting. "Just with you, my love. Forever with you."
