Chapter 9- Sparkle

"When did Alice get all this done?" I asked in amazement as Edward carried me into the house.

"She has her ways." He smiled.

The pillars outside the house were laved in white roses and sparkles. Inside was even more spectacular. The couch in the large open room was pushed against the wall and Edward's piano was moved to the center of the room.

"Are you going to play?" I asked him.

"I thought your parents would like to hear the songs I wrote you." He grinned.

Every surface was filled with even more flawless white roses and glitter.

"Like it?" Alice chimed from behind us, making me jump and Edward laugh.

I was speechless. "It's…beautiful." I finally managed.

Alice squealed and hugged me before Edward pulled me up the stairs to his room. Just before I stepped through the door, he grabbed me by the waist.

"Let me do this right." I had no idea what he was talking about, but his eyes did that dazzling thing and I nodded my head.

Without another word, he swept my up into his arms. Now I get it, I thought. He wants to carry me over the threshold.

He bent his lips to mine as he walked into the room and kicked the door closed behind us.

His lips never left mine as he put me on the bed. I felt my head hit something soft and realized that it was the pillow.

Edward positioned himself on top of me and continued kissing.

"You had better not rip that dress!" Alice screamed from downstairs. "And there is only a few hours before people get here!"

Edward laughed and I moaned as he shifter himself to lay next to me.

"She's right. Now's not the best time." He was still smiling, his golden eyes melting into mine. "Besides, I want to show you something."

He got off the bed and moved to the desk on the far side of the room. He took off his suit jacket and tie, unbuttoning the top few buttons and revealing his perfect stone chest. I gasped at his beauty as he returned to me, holding three photographs in his hand.

He laid them out in front of me and I gasped for breath again. All three were taken in the meadow.

The first one was of Edward and I, holding hands in front of Carlisle, facing each other. His skin sparkled and danced in the sun, but what shocked me was that mine did too.

The second picture was of me alone, when I first stepped into the clearing, again, my skin glittered like a vampires'. The looked on my face was of pure and complete shock. Whoever had taken the picture was standing directly in front of me, but I never saw a camera.

"Wh-Who took these?" I stammered.

"Alice. She printed them for me just a few minutes ago."

The third photograph was of Edward and I kissing. I stared at this one the longest, tears welling up in my eyes.

Edward placed his hand on my shoulder. "I told you that you belong by my side." He pulled me on his lap and I started sobbing into his perfect chest. He sat still, stroking the back of my neck softly.

I looked at him through wet eyes and he smiled, kissing my tears. "You should change." He smiled, getting up to give me some privacy.

"Um, Edward?" I said.

"Yeah?"

"Don't go." He smiled and walked back toward me.

"If you insist." He chuckled. "Alice has something for you to wear tonight at the party."

"Of course." I grumbled as Edward disappeared for a second, returning with a handful of clothes.

He laid them out on the bed and I could see that it wasn't so bad. A pair of tight fitting jeans and a pretty silk tank top.

Edward searched for something to change into while I struggled to unzip my dress.

"Need help?" He whispered, suddenly at my side. I only nodded as his cold fingers worked down my back. After the dress was completely unzipped, his fingers lingered at me lower back. I stepped out of the dress and turned to face him.

I shivered slightly and realized what I was wearing-or not wearing, I should say. I heard a low growl and felt myself suddenly thrown against something soft, the bed, I assumed.

Edward was on top of me, kissing from my stomach up to my chest, going in between my breasts, stopping for a second to kiss each one lightly, then up my neck, finally resting urgently on my lips.

I didn't even know what had happened until he flipped us over. I was laying on top of a fully clothed god, while I was mostly naked.

I worked with shaky hands to unto all the buttons of his shirt and quickly became annoyed. Sensing my frustration, Edward removed his clothes with vampire speed, all except his boxers.

"What…brought…this…on?" I said between kisses.

He let out a low growl again as he flipped me back over and pressed his cold body to mine. "You…look…absolutely…irresistible." He moaned, kissing his way back down my stomach.

I couldn't be sure, but I thought I heard Emmett's booming laughter three floors below.

I didn't care though because soon all this kissing was going to push me to my limit.

This time Edward didn't stop at my belly button. He worked his was down my right thigh and back up my left, pausing at the point where my legs came together.

I moaned softly but I knew he could hear me. My heart fluttered frantically as he looked up at me and his golden eyes seemed a shade darker. The colors swirled, seeming to blend golden iris and black pupil together seamlessly. He was deciding whether he could handle this or not and I mentally prayed that he could.

Apparently, he was also trying to gauge how I would take it. "Are you sure?" He asked, breathless.

I knew I wouldn't be able to form a coherent sentence, so I just pulled his lips back up to mine.

Taking this as a yes, he pulled off our remaining clothes without breaking the kiss.

He paused once, only an inch above me. I never had a second to feel self-conscious about my body before thrusting my hips upward, hoping he would understand my hint. He did.

His kisses muffled a scream as he pushed his way in. I must be in heaven! I was screaming in my head. For once, I wished he could hear my thoughts, wished he could know how truly amazing this felt to me.

I moaned in pure ecstasy as he released into me, and I heard him cry out softly as well, clearly trying to keep the noise down to avoid taunting from his family.

Not that it matter, with their acute sense of hearing and Alice's visions, I'm sure they all knew already.

He rolled over, laying beside me, panting for unnecessary air.

I looked down at his perfect body, astounded, trying to memorize every single inch of him. His pale, toned, muscular skin was flawless and smooth. I could not find a single imperfection on him, and looking at my own, I found many.

"Breathe." He whispered in my ear. I realized that I hadn't taken a breath since he pulled out. I took in a ragged breath of air, filling my lungs with his sweet scent.

He chuckled, pulling me close to him. I continued to take deep breaths, breathing in all of Edward.

I ran my fingers up and down his side. "You have no idea how good that feels." He whispered, his sweet breath causing mine to stop again. I didn't know whether he meant my fingers or what we had just done, but I was okay with it, either way.

I kissed his collar bone, working my way up his neck to his ear. I bit the bottom of his ear softly, but I got no reaction from him. Then I tried again, only I bit harder this time. He breathed in, obviously liking the act.

He rolled on top of me again, kissing my lips again. Just before I was lost in Edward again, there was a knock on the door.

"Sorry to interrupt," Emmett laughed. "But Alice says that Charlie and Renee will be here in half an hour. I don't think you'll want them to see…uh…that." He continued to laugh as he walked back down the stairs.

"Damn it." Edward swore, rolling off of me again.

I heard a whimpering noise, and I realized that it was coming from me.

Edward disappeared for a second and returned, fully dressed. I whined again as he helped me get dressed again.

Next chapter will be posted by Thursday. Sorry it will take so long, but I need to catch up on school work. :) R&R please?!?!
