Chapter 16-Connected

BPOV

After picking up the car with the valet, Edward drove away from the most prominent site in Seattle. We drove through downtown Seattle and pulled into a parking garage. We found a spot near the elevator and rode up to the lobby.

Whoa. This was not just a lobby, it was paradise. It was an earthy brown with hints of gold everywhere. There was a huge slightly-spiraled staircase leading up to a grand piano where the pianist was playing some of the most beautiful music I had ever heard. The lobby was full of gorgeous gold and blue chairs, which complimented each other beautifully. Unlike all the places I had been, the plants here were all real and perfectly maintained.

I must have looked like an idiot, because Edward chuckled at me and began to lead me towards the counter. Of course, a place like The Fairmont Olympic Hotel would only have beautiful people working here. I felt like such a slob wearing jeans and a sweater.

As if reading my mind, Edward leaned down and whispered in my ear, "You look perfect, don't worry, Baby." I smiled in return, as he always had a way of making me feel good about myself.

We checked in and were on our way up the gorgeous glass elevators. We got off on the tenth floor and headed down to the end of the hallway. When we found our room, Edward put the key in the slot and pushed the door open to the most beautiful room that I had ever seen.

The room was cream-colored with sage green and buttercream yellow furniture coverings. The curtains and accents were a very pretty rose pattern. It reminded me of a bed and breakfast, only nicer. The wooden furniture was a deep cherry finish and there were fresh flowers in the room.

The bed…the bed was enormous! I was afraid to sit on it, worried I would ruin its beauty. I was willing to bet everything on that bed was made of the finest material and made with goose-down feathers.

I walked past the bed and went out onto the balcony. The view was incredible. I couldn't see the Space Needle, but we had a gorgeous view of the Sound. I stood there for a few minutes watching the sun set before Edward came up behind me. He put his hands on my shoulders and began slowly kissing my neck. His lips trailed down to my shoulders as his hands traveled down my arms. Goosebumps appears all over my body and I still couldn't tell if it was from his touch or the cool marine air.

"Well, Bella, what do you think?" Did he really expect me to not like it?

"Oh my God, Edward, it is beautiful. And way too expensive, you didn't have to give me all this," I said as I turned around and gestured to the room.

"Baby, it's fine, I can afford it. I wanted to do something special for you. I want to take care of you, Bella. Will you just enjoy it, for me?" I rolled my eyes before answering.

"Of course, I'm sorry. It really is perfect. I love you, babe." I gave him a quick kiss on his lips before walking back into the room. Edward followed me and closed the door behind us.

"That's all I get? All of this," Edward gestured around the room the same way I had, "and all I get is a peck? I feel so used."

I could tell he was joking, so I let him off the hook by kissing him again. This time, I didn't pull back. I kissed him with everything inside of me. I wanted to express myself with my lips in such a way that my voice couldn't say. He accepted it without hesitation.

The taste of Edward's lips was absolutely divine. Our tongues danced to a tune all their own; it was perfection. Everything about Edward was perfection—his smell, his taste, his touch. Our kissing continued until we were both breathless and gasping for air.

"I love you, Bella," Edward whispered as his forehead met mine.

"Mmmmm…I love you too, Edward, so much. Thank you for giving me this." I couldn't stop looking into his deep emerald eyes.

Our kissing continued while our hands began searching. Mine went to his hair while his went to my back. His hands were warm and soft, leaving a tingling sensation behind. Caressing turned to exploring, and exploring turned to groping. My soft moans began to fill the room and before I knew it, we were slowly undressing each other.

Edward began to pull my sweater up and our kiss was paused as I pulled away, allowing him to pull it over my head. Our lips met again as I began to do the same thing to his t-shirt.

Our lips were once again connected as our tongues swirled in an attempt to become one. We both made quick work of undoing each other's pants—unbuttoning and unzipping before pushing them down to the floor. His boxers were pushed down with his jeans, while mine remained on. Edward and I simultaneously kicked our jeans off and to the side.

My matching red bra and panties must have done something to Edward, as his kiss deepened. Edward stood gloriously naked in front of me; his taste was still intoxicating and I couldn't get enough. That is until he pulled away and cupped my face in his hands. The loss of his lips made me involuntarily groan in displeasure.

"Love, as much as I love what you are wearing, I would rather these come off," Edward requested while playing with the straps of my bra.

I hummed in pleasure as he reached around the back and expertly unhooked my bra. It fell to the floor as he slowly and teasingly pulled my panties down my legs. His head was level with my pussy and my hands were in his hair, tugging gently urging him to come back to me.

Edward looked up, met my eyes, and without losing eye contact, he leaned forward and kissed my mound.

Edward moaned, reached up to pick me up and carried me to the bed, my legs wrapped around his hips. I could feel how hard he was and it made me throb with needy desire. As if I wasn't already needy enough, Edward gently placed me on the edge of the bed, coaxed me onto my back and got on his knees on the floor.

Still looking intently into my eyes, he pulled me forward and carefully put my thighs over his shoulders. I gasped when he licked his lips and leaned down to take my clit into his mouth.

Oh. My. Fucking. God.

I knew the man could kiss, but the things he did to my pussy were unimaginable. I bucked my hips up and whorish moans began to leave my mouth. Edward moaned into me, causing more jolts to run through my body. He licked me from bottom to top in between twirling, sucking, and nibbling my clit.

"Fuck, Bella, you taste so fucking good, Baby," Edward told me while he feasted on my pussy. That shit felt amazing.

Edward inserted a finger inside of me and began to thrust in and out of me at a quick pace. My body immediately responded and squeezed his finger as he fucked me with it.

"Yes, Baby…Come for me," Edward begged, adding another finger while his mouth continued its ministration.

I began to feel the coil inside of my belly to tighten up as I prepared for the orgasm Edward would evidently be giving me.

"Yesyesohmyfuckinggodyes!" I screamed as my impending orgasm took over, my words blending into one.

As my orgasm faded, I looked at Edward still out of breath. He had the most satisfied smirk on his face, and my love-filled heart grew even more.

Edward didn't say anything as he climbed up onto the bed, sliding us both back across the comforter towards the middle. We just stared at each other, speaking silent words of love and want.

Edward hovered over me, resting his weight on his elbows as he settled between my legs. He had his arms on either side of my head as he leaned down to kiss me. He kissed my forehead, the corners of my eyes, my nose, my chin, and finally my lips. Our tongues began another dance as Edward pushed his very hard cock into my very wet pussy.

We both moaned in pleasure at the sensation of him filling me. He paused for a moment to whisper 'I love you' into my ear before pulling out and thrusting back in.

The sensations he was giving me were beyond amazing. He maintained his agonizingly slow pace, and I returned each one of his thrusts with my own. We continued kissing as we made love. Edward's hands played with my hair as mine moved up and down his back, feeling the muscles tighten and loosen as his hips moved. It was the most beautiful moment of my life. It was perfect. Together, we were perfect.

The feel of being inside Bella was something I had never experienced before. Feeling her squeezing my cock, it was…I couldn't even explain what it was, but incredible didn't begin to describe it. I continued pumping in and out of her, listening to her whimper and moan and watching as she writhed beneath me.

I didn't know if these feelings were because she was different, or because I loved her. All I did know was that I was definitely missing something all these years. I thought that having sex anytime I wanted with whomever I wanted was the way to go. I quickly learned, thanks to Bella, that it was nothing more than just sex. It left me hollow and lonely; it never meant anything. I wished I could take it all back for Bella's sake.

Focusing back on Bella, I decided to step up my efforts. I changed the angle in which I had been thrusting, and I could feel that I was hitting her magic spot. She bucked her hips in response, and her grip on my back tightened. It hurt like fucking hell, but it hurt in a good way.

I started to speed up, but not too fast—Not yet at least. I was nowhere ready for this to be over. I wanted to completely make love to my girlfriend; I was not going to make it seem like just another fuck. Bella was different, and she deserved so much more.

Bella must have liked the change because her eyes rolled to the back of her head before closing completely. Her sounds increased, and I couldn't care less if anyone heard. I leaned down to her face again and whispered my love into her ear. Her eyes opened up when she recognized what I had said and immediately came.

She came so hard she basically pushed me out of her. I pressed back into her and the tightness caused me to instantly come. White lights flashed behind my eyelids and I could feel my orgasm everywhere. Even the little hairs on my body stood up and tingled. Bella Swan was officially a goddess, and nothing in this world was going to take her away.

Exhausted as we were, both from the long day and making love, there was still one thing I wanted to give Bella. I insisted we take a bath together. Bella followed me into the bathroom and gasped when she saw it. I was sort of glad she hadn't seen it before now because this was the main reason I got this room. It was much more special being able to show it to her myself, rather than her finding it on her own. Bella stood there gaping at the enormous Jacuzzi bathtub as I leaned down and turned on the water. I added some bath salts to the mix and adjusted the temperature to a comfortable warmth—not too hot, but warm enough to steam up the room.

Once the tub was adequately filled, I helped Bella in and followed suit. I climbed in behind her, her back to my chest as I settled her between my legs. We both relaxed once I turned the jets on. She leaned her naked body into mine and I simply held her. Bella's head leaned further back and rested in the crook of my neck.

Nothing could be better than this. The two of us, alone and naked, just being. There were no phones, no television, and most of all no one around—just us.

We sat in the churning water, just holding and caressing one another, speaking words of love and adoration until the water ran cool. I offered to warm up the tub for us, but Bella claimed to be turning into one of the California Raisins and even threatened to break into a song. I chuckled at her response and agreed we had been in the tub long enough.

I got out first and assisted Bella as she removed herself from our bath. We dried each other off and stole small kisses as we went. Once our bodies were dry and our hair was no longer dripping, we headed to the bed. I pulled the covers down and we both climbed in.

As we laid down holding one another, a thought occurred to me. It would not stop nagging at me. Kissing my beautiful Bella as she nestled into my chest, I spoke.

Now, I knew it was too soon, we had only known one another for two weeks. I didn't care anymore. I had no doubt in my mind that Bella was meant for me—that we were meant for each other. I figured, why wait?

"Bella?" No answer. "Bella, Love." I spoke a little bit louder. The only response I got was a quiet sigh as she nuzzled even closer. I gave her a kiss on her head, pulling her impossibly closer to me. I ran my fingers through her still damp hair before whispering to myself, "So much for that idea."

It was okay though. I knew what I wanted, and I knew I was going to ask her soon. I wanted Bella to be my bride, my wife. For the rest of our lives, we would be connected. I knew she will say yes, I just had to find the right moment.

I drifted off to sleep and dreamt that I was surrounded by brown-haired, brown-eyed children.
