Five years later

"Ladies and Gentlemen, please give a warm Hideout Welcome Home to Swan Song!"

I stood in the front row holding my daughter on my hip. She loved watching her Mama sing. Bella, Alice, and Rosalie walked on stage and took their places. When she reached the microphone in front, my gorgeous wife looked down and winked at us.

"Mama!" Kristina squealed and reached out for Bella. I grabbed her tiny hand in mine as I leaned in and spoke in her ear.

"Listen to Mama sing Sweet Girl. Will you dance with Daddy?" Her brown curls bounced as she laid her head on my shoulder and we started to sway to the music.

Kristina Renee Cullen had just turned three years old last Saturday. She was absolutely my pride and joy. Bella and I had tried to become pregnant for about a year. We were about to seek professional treatment when we were surprised by a positive pregnancy test. A little over eight months later, a beautiful baby girl with her Mama's hair color and my green eyes came screaming into our world at eight pounds two ounces. We've never been the same since.

Tonight, Swan Song had been invited to come back home to Houston to play at the Hideout one more time. The girls had built up a tremendous following in Oklahoma when they started performing again and had recently been contacted by talent scouts in Nashville. In two weeks, they would be flying out to Tennessee to meet with representatives from Big Machine Records. Big Machine boasted some of country music's biggest artists, including Taylor Swift, Tim McGraw, and Rascal Flatts. This could be the big break the girls had always dreamed of.

The girls finished up their set and were ushered off stage. Kris and I headed back to their trailer and spotted Emmett and Jasper, along with Annabelle heading the same way.

"Hey Uncle Edward, are you gonna be ridin' this year?" Annabelle asked from underneath her pink cowboy hat.

"No Sweetheart. Last year was my final year. Uncle Edward is getting too old to be ridin' those big 'ol bulls anymore." She giggled and ran to catch up with her daddy.

Last year I had competed on the circuit all year and won a couple titles here and there. On my last ride in Cheyenne, the bull threw me off and stepped just slightly on my right knee. He managed to tear it up a bit but didn't do any permanent damage. Bella and I decided that my rodeo days were over. I had a family now and the thought of a bull taking my life wasn't something I wanted to deal with. So, Emmett, Jasper, and I did something we had always talked about doing. We started our own construction business. Cullen Construction was flourishing and making all of us very happy in every way.

"There's my babygirl!" Bella came over and held out her arms for Kristina. She went to her immediately and Bella began to pepper our little girl with kisses all over her face. I loved watching my girls. They were my heart and soul. "And there's my good lookin' Cowboy."

"Hey Darlin'. You were amazing as always." I leaned down as she reached up and wrapped one arm around my neck. Our lips met as we both sighed. The giggle from the three year old in Bella's arms broke us apart with a laugh of our own.

We left the grounds of Reliant Park and headed back to our hotel. Emmett and Rosalie had asked to spend some time with Kris tomorrow, so she was going to spend the night with them in their hotel room and fly home to Lawton with them around noon. Bella and I had decided to rent a car and drive home. The trip would give us some time alone, which had been nearly non-existent for some time now. I was over the moon excited to have my wife alone in a hotel room tonight. The things I wanted to do to her were not meant for the weak at heart. My cock twitched in my jeans at the thought.

I found Bella in the bathroom brushing out her hair and removing her makeup. I took a look at the bathroom counter and immediately remembered the time in Calgary when I had taken her in the bathroom there. The way she watched us in the mirror was such a fucking turn on, I had to see it once more.

Walking up behind her, I wrapped my arms around her slim waist and lowered my head to kiss her gorgeous neck. I was still fully dressed, complete with my black cowboy hat. Without a word, I pulled the straps of her thin nightgown off her shoulders and let the garment fall to the floor. She was completely naked. I looked up in the mirror as my hands moved up to cup her breasts and tug on her already straining nipples.

"Fuck Cowboy what are you doing to me?" She threw her head back onto my shoulder and looked at us in the mirror.

"Anything and everything Beautiful." I ran my hands up and down her stomach, stopping just short of where she really wanted them. Bella's pussy was normally bare and while I loved the hell out of that look, this new "landing strip" look, as she called it, was totally making me throb with want. It looked so fucking sexy.

"Please Cowboy, I need you naked." She spun around in my arms and started to untuck my shirt while I took off my belt and unbuttoned my jeans. Soon we were both naked as the day we were born and I lifted her onto the countertop.

"Open up those legs Sweetheart. Let me look at that wet pussy. Is it wet Bella? I bet it's dripping for me. It's always nice and wet for your Cowboy Hotness, ain't it Sugar?"

"Mmm God yes baby. You make me so wet. Edward, taste me. Please?" I could never tell her no. She owned me. Dropping to my knees, I pulled her legs over my shoulders and buried my face in the Heaven between her thighs.

While my mouth was busy, my fingers joined in the efforts. Bella was writhing around on the countertop and moaning so loudly I knew the people in the next room would hear. Strangely enough, that turned me on. Feeling like a smug bastard, I inserted one more finger and tapped that spot deep inside my gorgeous wife that I knew would send her spiraling into orgasmic bliss.

"Fuck! I'm gonna come!" She screamed out as I kept up the intensity of my finger and tongue assault. Before she had a chance to come down from her high, I sent her back off that cliff one more time.

Once Bella's breathing returned to normal I helped her off the counter and into the shower. The blowjob I received there was heart stopping.

We settled down in bed and immediately Bella straddled me and lined up my once again hardened cock with her delicious entrance and slid down as far as she could go.

"Fuck baby you feel good. So damn tight. So wet." I took her hips firmly in my hands and began to guide her to the rhythm we both liked.

"Harder Edward. I need it harder baby."

"You want me to fuck you Bella? Is that what you need baby? For me to Fuckthrust You thrust Hard thrust?"

"God Yes! Yes! That's exactly what I want." She ran her fingernails down my stomach and back up again, leaving red lines in their wake. I quickly sat straight up and pulled her to me, reaching behind her and wrapping her hair around my wrist. I yanked on her hair hard enough to pull her neck back and reveal her beautiful throat and neck.

"I fucking love your neck baby. I love it when you are my dirty little slut." I bit down on her neck harder than I intended to but the moan of pleasure that escaped her mouth told me she was fine with it.

"Shit Edward, Mmm I need to come." She wrapped her legs around my waist and locked her ankles together. Each time I would thrust up into her, she would slam down on my cock, her breasts crushing to my chest. We set a punishing rhythm but we needed something more to throw us over the edge. I knew exactly what she needed. Quickly, without breaking our connection, I unhooked her ankles and got up on my knees. She straightened her legs out behind me as she leaned back. I moved my hands on either side of her waist and began to thrust deep and fast. Bella's head was on the mattress and I sat back on my haunches. Yes. This was exactly the angle I needed.

"Come on baby, give it to me Bella. I know it's in there. I want it. Now baby." I doubled my efforts and fucked her harder and faster and before I knew it, I felt her walls clamp down on my cock.

"Edddwwarrddddd! Fuccckkk!" She was panting and her skin had a light sheen of sweat that made her glisten in the soft light of the room. I felt her flexing her inner muscles around my cock and it sent me into oblivion.

"Beeelllllaaaa! Shhhitttt fuck damn!" I roared through the most intense climax I could ever remember having.

We didn't move for several moments, choosing to enjoy the post coital atmosphere in the room. Soon I noticed Bella's breathing even out and knew she was asleep. I moved us so we were under the covers and tucked her into my side. Kissing her forehead, I whispered how much I loved her and let sleep find me at last.

I missed Edward and Kristina more than I imagined I would. The girls and I arrived here in Nashville last night. We had a big meeting later today with Big Machine Records. We were really excited about the possibility of our dreams coming true and Swan Song getting a record deal.

Stepping out of the shower, I wrapped a towel around myself and grabbed another one to dry my hair with. I pulled open my toiletries bag and was shocked when I saw a small envelope with my name in Edward's handwriting. That man was so thoughtful. He always managed to let me know how much he loved me in so many different ways. I opened it immediately.

Hey Beautiful,

Kris and I wanted to wish you good luck in Nashville. We'll miss you more than you know, so hurry up and come back home to us safe and sound. We thought you'd like a picture of your two favorite people to keep you company while you are away. We love you to the moon and back.

Love,

Edward and Kristina

The picture he enclosed had tears welling up in my eyes as soon as I saw it. Edward had taken a selfie of him and Kristina where she had her eyes closed kissing his cheek. It was completely adorable. (**link to picture can be found in my profile**)

After my mini-breakdown I got dressed and went to the lobby to meet the girls. We were going to have brunch and head over to the record company. With any luck, I would be flying home to my husband and little girl as a Big Machine Recording Artist.

My plane landed shortly after midnight. I was tired and cranky and most of all I missed Edward and Kristina. Thankfully, I had driven myself to the airport so all I had to do was find my SUV and I could be on my way. Nashville hadn't turned out quite like we'd hoped. The record company was interested but not in Swan Song as a group. They were just interested in me. I made it clear to them that it was all of us or nothing and they had shown us the door. The girls and I talked and decided to just keep doing what we were doing. The construction company was thriving and we each still had our regular jobs, so while the thought of becoming famous was exciting, we were ok with the fact that it wasn't happening right now. Who knew what the future would hold.

I pulled onto the gravel road that led to our house. Tonight there was a full moon, so the house and the yard were illuminated in its beauty. I had texted Edward when I landed and told him I was on my way. He was still awake and waiting for me. He said Kris was spending the night with Carlisle and Esme so we'd have the house to ourselves and go collect her tomorrow afternoon.

Turning off the engine, I glanced out over the backyard area and got a glimpse of my Cowboy. Heat rose in my cheeks as I realized what he was doing. A few months ago I had found an antique claw-foot bathtub at a resale shop. I fell in love with its old world charm and knew it would go beautifully with the décor in our backyard. Edward and I cleaned it up and hooked it to the water system, technically turning it into a hot tub.

Cowboy Hotness was waiting for me in the tub, completely naked save for his straw cowboy hat. I had never seen anything so fucking hot in my life. Walking up beside him, I started stripping off my clothes.

"Well what do we have here? I come outside to have a relaxing sit in my genuine hot tub and somehow, a beautiful woman is stripping off her clothes at an alarming rate. I have done something to please the Gods." He smirked up at me as only he could and I climbed in and settled myself against him.

"Hi Cowboy. Miss me?"

"Oh Isabella, you have no idea. Come here Sweetheart." I turned to meet his lips and threw my hands behind me and around his neck while his arms wrapped around me cupping my breasts and rolling my hardening nipples between his nimble fingers. I could feel him hot and hard against my backside.

After making love in the tub, we moved our party inside to our bedroom. We soon settled into bed, me lying in the crook of Edward's arm where I belonged.

"I'm sorry about the record company baby. I know you and the girls really wanted that deal."

"It's fine Edward. Swan Song is a trio and that's all we're interested in. I have everything I need right here. I don't need to be famous."

"Well, there is something I wanted to talk to you about." I looked up at him, the confusion evident on my face.

"Edward, what is it? Is everything ok?"

"Yeah, perfect actually. Relax baby, this is a good thing. I just got to thinking about things. Well, you know Kristina is three now and I know you are an only child and you said once that you always wanted a sibling…" he trailed off and looked at me with a little unease.

"Edward, are you saying you want to have another baby?" We had talked about giving Kristina a little brother or sister but hadn't decided when that would be.

"What do you want Sweet Bella? I mean, it's your body that has to go through all that pain and labor and childbirth."

"Don't you know by now Cowboy, that I'd have a hundred of your babies? Edward, Kristina is the joy of my life. I would love nothing more than to have another baby with you."

"Really Sweetheart?" He looked at me with such awe, and it was in that moment that I realized I would do anything Edward Cullen asked of me. This Cowboy owned my body, my heart, my soul. He was my forever and I'd give him anything his heart desired.

Edward wrapped me in a tight hug and settled me against his chest as both of us drifted off to dreamland with visions of baby rattles and tiny little hands and feet. We both hoped it wouldn't take us too long to get pregnant this time around.

Seven years later – Kristina is ten years old

"Come on ya'll, we need to get to the rodeo. Ethan rides second in the lineup." I hollered up the stairs hoping my wife and both children heard me. Today our son was competing in his first Mutton Bustin' Competition. This event was a favorite at every rodeo I ever competed in. It was for children between five and six years old. The kiddos got to wear the protective vests the bull riders normally wore as well as helmets while they tried to ride sheep until the buzzer sounded. It was cute as hell to watch and my son was all about it.

It hadn't taken Bella and me long at all to get pregnant with our second child. Ethan Alexander Cullen came into our lives in a big hurry. We barely made it to the hospital and got Bella into her bed when it was discovered that she was already ten centimeters dilated and ready to push. Four pushes later he came out with a long cry. This little boy was a carbon copy of me in every way. He looked just like me, complete with the unruly bronze hair and vivid green eyes. He was now five years old and had a large personality for sure.

"We're ready Daddy! I gots my chaps on!" Ethan came bounding down the stairs as fast as his little legs could carry him.

"Whoa there lil cowboy. Slow down." I scooped him up and gave him a hug. "I love you little man. You ready to ride some sheep?"

"Yes sir Daddy. Ima hold on tight. Dat sheep don't have a chance with a Cullen on hims back!"

"That's right little man. You hold on with all you got. You hear me?" He nodded as we looked up to see Kristina and Bella coming down the stairs.

"Look at my beautiful girls. I think ya'll better stay right beside me all night. I can't have some Cowboys lookin' at ya'll. You can't trust those cowboys." I winked at Bella and she blushed. Even after all these years, that damn blush still worked me up.

"I trusted a Cowboy once in Houston. Best. Decision. Ever." She stood on her tiptoes and kissed me full on the mouth while the kids protested loudly. As we walked out the door, I took a moment to ogle Bella's ass in her tight jeans. After two babies, she still had an amazing body. Damn I was lucky.

"The next contestant in this year's Mutton Bustin' Competition is Ethan Cullen from Lawton. Ethan is the son of three time World Champion Bull Rider, Edward Cullen and his wife Bella. You ready Ethan? Let him go boys!" The announcer said as the sheep took off with Ethan doing his best to hold on. Bella was screaming, I was nervous as hell. Sure it was only a sheep, but anything could happen. I also knew Ethan was wearing all the required safety gear but he was still my little boy. Finally the buzzer sounded and Ethan still hung on for all he was worth. The cowboys working the event grabbed him off and held him high in the air as the crowd went ballistic. As soon as they put him down, my son stood in the middle of the arena and took a bow. He was such a little showman. I'm not quite sure where that came from.

"He is absolutely your child Edward. Look at that." Bella rolled her eyes as she ran out to where Ethan was running toward us and attempted to scoop him up. Kristina jumped in between Bella and Ethan and hugged her little brother first. We each took turns telling him how good of a job he did and that we were proud of him. All he wanted was cotton candy.

After several other contestants, Ethan ended up with the best ride and was declared the winner. We all moved to the stage so he could accept his trophy and be interviewed. This was the first time he had won any event.

"Edward Cullen, it's good to have you back here on our stage."

"Thanks, I appreciate it. Ethan did a great job tonight. We're all so proud of him."

"Looks like he's gonna be a chip off the old block. How is retired life treating you Edward?" This guy was starting to piss me off. This interview was supposed to be for Ethan, yet he kept trying to bring me into it. I was just about to tell him as much, but my son stepped in first. Tugging on the man's pant leg, he pushed his cowboy hat back off his face and spoke.

"Um, Mr. Announcer Man, my Daddy, him rides bulls. I ride sheeps. Ain't you sposed to be talking about me?" The crowd laughed loudly as I raised my eyebrows at the interviewer as if to say, yes, meet my child. He is larger than life.

Looking more than a little chastised, the man finally bent down to Ethan's level. "You're right son, so tell me Ethan, how did you stay on that sheep so long?"

"Well, you see, I just hanged on tight. Daddy taught me to squeeze the sheep with my legs and grab a wad of his wool and hang the hell on!" As soon as the words left his mouth, Bella darted her hand across Ethan's face, desperately trying to stop any other words a five year old shouldn't say from coming out in front of a national television audience as well as the packed arena we were standing in. Never to be outdone, Ethan grabbed her hand and turned to address her face to face. "Mama, I wasn't going to say what Daddy really says." He looked up at the interviewer and looking directly into the camera he said "Daddy usually says the F word."

More loud applause from the crowd, and Ethan was on a roll. This kid had no shame while I stood there actually fucking blushing at being called out on my mouth by my five year old. I was also on the receiving end of a perfectly executed bitch brow from my beautiful wife. All I could do was shrug my shoulders.

"Well that's the secret I guess, right Ethan? Thank you so much for talking with us and congratulations on your win." The interviewer shook Ethan's hand and was about to turn away when Ethan stopped him and brought the microphone back down to his level.

"I wasn't done Mr. Announcer Man. I wanted to tell you about sumfin else. My Mama, she likes to sing. Her name is Bella Cullen and she singed here before. Daddy met her in Youstun and he said she looked effin' hot in her denim skirt."

"Oh my God, Ethan, hush!" Bella tried to stop him but he was having none of it. Lowering his voice but still speaking directly into the microphone he got me in more trouble.

"Daddy looked up Mama's skirt. He told Uncle Japper that." My eyes widened in shock as I had no clue Ethan had been privy to that conversation. Bella looked as if she was going to faint. Naturally Ethan continued. "I was confused though because Daddy said he saw Mama's kitty under her skirt and that it was nice. He called it a pussy though. Silly Daddy, Mama doesn't keep her kitty under dere. Fuzzball stays at home."

If the crowd could be any louder it would break the sound barrier. Bella was looking at me like I was a dead man. I had to do something to dig my ass out of the hole my son had just thrown me in. Turning on the panty dropping smirk I leaned down and whispered directly in her ear.

"Your kitty wouldn't be called Fuzzball would it baby? No, I think it'd be something more like Slick, or Juicy. Especially when I pet it. Right Sweetheart?" I gently nibbled on her earlobe and felt her shudder. I gave myself a mental high five. I still had it dammit and I was going to use it.

"You may never pet my kitty again Cowboy. Remember that." She moved away from me and thanked the interviewer, who at this point had simply handed Ethan the microphone and let him have his way.

Hours later as we lay in bed together after getting both kids put to bed, Bella rolled over to face me. Her beauty still took my breath away.

"Well I'll say one thing for sure, Ethan Alexander is most definitely his Daddy's child in more than just his looks."

"Bella, I had no idea he heard the conversation I had with Jasper. Are you too mad at me?" I reached out to stroke her cheek. She didn't pull away so that was a good sign.

"He is such a little man. I can't believe he said all that. And did I tell you Kristina said she wants to start training to be a barrel racer?" This was a shock. Kris had never shown much interest in the rodeo. Sure, she liked to wear her pink cowboy hat and boots but that was usually the extent of it.

"Wow, that's something. But if she wants to I'll help her train."

"Thank you Cowboy. Thank you for giving me this beautiful life. Thank you for my beautiful daughter and amazing son. Thank you for loving me with all your heart and for taking such good care of us. I love you Edward, so much."

"Bella if anyone should be thanking anyone, it should be me thanking you. Sweetheart I will never be able to fully make you aware of what you and the kids mean to me. This cowboy is the luckiest man on earth."

"We're both lucky and blessed. How about it Cowboy Hotness? Wanna ride off into the sunset with me?

"Oh I want to do something that involves riding Sweetheart." I winked at her as I pulled her on top of me and settled her heat right where I needed her. I would never ride away from this beautiful cowgirl; not as long as there was a sunset to be seen.
