AN: Hey everyone! I'm so sorry for the long wait again, but it's only another week until I'm off for winter break! Then I can spend my glorious time writing more chapters. (Not really, I have a lot of plans and homework, but I know I'll have time to turn out at least 5 chapters.) I thank you all for reviewing, you all actually hit the 20 review mark within 15 hours, after I posted chapter 5. THANK YOU ALL! As an added bonus, I hit the 100 review mark recently as well! Again, THANK YOU ALL!

As a reward, I'd like you all to vote on where I should have our two favorite vampire lovers get it on for the next 5 chapters. I have 5 places in mind for the next one, so you tell me where you want to see some action!

Study/Office

One of the Guest Bedrooms

Piano

Dining Room Table

Swimming Pool

These are actually the places I plan to get to within my winter break writing (I said at least 5 chapters, right?). I would like to get to all these places, but I want your input on which I should write first! So you can number them 1-5, or just suggest which one I should do for the next chapter… and so on as I update. Okay? I know you will all have a ball with that.

So again, tell me in what order you want me to hit those 5 locations up above, or tell me which one you want for the next chapter! Thanks you guys! Oh, and keep on suggesting other places! Review for me, they make the urge for me to write so much more intense.

Oh and, paleblak97, you wanted me to stay on the romantic side, so this chapter is for you!

Alrighty, without further ado, I present to you Chapter 6! Enjoy (:

Much Love, darkxlight

Chapter 6: Warm Up to Me

BPOV

Yesterday was a first. I had never been so nervous yet confident at the same time. If my heart could beat, it would have probably beaten its way out of my chest last night. I still felt the nerves, as I put on that scandalous outfit from Binding, and I was continually nervous throughout my "routine," if you will. But I would have bursts of confidence, whenever Edward would groan, moan, or if I saw desire flash through his eyes. He was the only reason I would do this. So for him, I had to do it right.

Today, however, we took it easy. Edward had suggested we go explore the wilderness around our mansion. It was beautiful, despite the winter barrenness. We even found a spot that could be our New Hampshire version of our meadow. After exploring, we decided to tend to our garden a bit. Edward went to town and bought multiple seeds and flower bulbs, and we spent most of the day talking, planting, just enjoying each other's company.

Right now, I was sitting on the sectional in front of the fireplace, sipping some hot chocolate, and Edward was upstairs taking a shower. He wanted me to come with him, but I wasn't really in the mood for that. I planned on taking a nice bubble bath later. As I stared into the fireplace, I thought of Renesmee. We miss her, and I know she misses us too. But, she's with Charlie and Jacob… she would be perfectly safe. That, at least, was one thing I wouldn't have to worry about.

"Bella?"

I jumped slightly. Edward had snuck up on me. I turned to his voice and saw that he was leaning on the doorway of the living room, wearing a black turtleneck and blue jeans. His hair was in its usual disarray, and he had my favorite smile plastered on his face. I smiled at him, and gestured for him to come over. He walked over, never breaking our eye contact, and sat down, facing me. He reached out, took me into his arms and kissed me softly. I found myself melting, again.

"I love you, Bella," he whispered onto my lips, so softly that I'm sure only vampires could hear it.

I giggled. "I love you, too."

I sighed, content, and together we watched the wood burn in the fireplace for a while, before Edward started to rub my arms.

"C'mon love, I set up the bath for you. You said you wanted to take a nice bath, right?"

I looked at him, partially shocked. I couldn't remember telling him about my bath plans. Edward just smiled and the light of the fireplace illuminated his eyes, making them smolder more than ever. I nodded and Edward moved off the sectional, only to pick me up and carry me bridal style up the stairs and into the master bathroom. I was hit with a strong, but pleasant smell and I gasped once we passed through the door.

Edward had placed numerous vanilla scented candles and bouquets of roses throughout the bathroom, and there were rose petals leading from the bathroom door to the grand bathtub. That was what I had smelled once we came in. I looked around and noticed on the towel racks there were monogrammed towels: E for Edward and B for Bella. On the behind-the-door hooks were two plush robes. A deep midnight blue—for myself, I assumed, and a rich topaz color for Edward. I chuckled when I saw that, he must have remembered that I told him Topaz was my favorite stone back when we were first getting to know each other. Edward looked down at me.

"What's so funny, love?"

"Nothing, I'm just… awestruck. It's so beautiful. Thank you."

I leaned up to kiss him, but Edward, with lightning speed, had put me down and was already on his knees, working the buttons of my shirt. I grabbed his hands, stopping him, and leaned down towards his face to give him the kiss that he previously prevented, then allowed him to continue undressing me. He worked slowly, savoring every inch of my newly exposed skin, showering it with kisses and caresses, before moving on. I felt myself getting wet at this slow sensual gesture of his, but I also felt my heart swell, knowing that he would take the time to enjoy me like this.

After disposing of my shirt, Edward reached around me to unclasp my bra, then slipped the straps down my shoulders. He caressed each of my breasts gently, and I moaned slightly at his touch. He brushed his thumbs against my peaks and they hardened on Edward's silent command. He placed a small kiss on them, before moving down to my jeans, kissing his way down.

When he reached my jeans, he gave my navel a playful lick before slowly pulling them down my legs, and again, kissing every new inch of exposed skin. I lifted a foot to help, and he took the opportunity to plant kisses on my toes and sole. I silently told myself that I was glad I was a vampire—I would have undoubtedly fallen backward if I was still human Bella. He did the same to my other foot, then moved his way back up, grazing the tip of his nose on my skin. He stopped briefly at my heat, and inhaled. He looked up at me, with desire in his eyes. Then he pulled the front of my panties down with his teeth, while his fingers played on my hips.

I whimpered then, at the suspense. I was dripping for him now, and I tangled my hands in his hair, in an attempt to bring him closer to my heat. Edward moved his hands down my legs again, this time taking my panties with them, and I lifted my feet once more to allow him to fully remove them from my body. Edward glanced up at me, mischief apparent, and swiftly licked my core.

I moaned loudly, desperately pulling him closer to me. I wanted more. But apparently, Edward had other plans. He stood up then, and wrapped his arms around my waist. He kissed me gently, looked over at the tub. I followed his gaze, frustrated, but gasped softly again.

I hadn't given my full attention to the tub until now. For one thing, it was huge—almost the size of a Jacuzzi, and there were candles and flowers surrounding it densely, but beautifully. I noticed there were gold accents around the tub and more rose petals and heart shaped candles floating in the water. Edward let go of me, save for one arm, and reached out to pick up a basket. There were five bottles in them: two were rather large, while the others were decent sized. He brought it closer for me to see.

"The biggest bottles are two bubble baths in two different scents, rose and freesia, and the rest of the bottles are shampoo, body wash, and lotion, all in freesia." Edward told me, "I was always partial to the scent of freesia on you, but I also found that both rose and freesia mix well with vanilla. I wanted to give you a choice, just in case."

Edward took the bubble bath bottles out of the basket and set them on the corner of the tub. "Which one would you like?"

I looked up at him. "Thank you for all of this, Edward… but I don't know which bubble bath I want… you choose."

He looked at the bottles for a moment. "Well, there are roses all over the bathroom already, how about we use freesia?"

"That's fine with me."

Edward kissed me again, "Well, then, hop in, love. The water is rather hot, since our bodies are cold, but it should feel warm to you."

He released me, but kept one of my hands as he helped me into the tub. I moaned softly when my foot touched the water. It was at the perfect temperature—for my vampire body, anyway.

"How's the water, Bella?"

"It's perfect."

"Good."

After I settled into one of the corners near the golden faucet, Edward came over and turned it on. I relaxed instantly at the sound of the water, and I watched as he poured about a third of the bottle of bubble bath into the tub, right where the water from the faucet met the water already in the tub. Bubbles came almost simultaneously, and I watched as they spread across the water. Edward was kneeling on the floor next to me now, and had rested his elbows on the edge of the tub. He was watching both the bubbles and myself, and chuckled when I gave in to the urge to grab some of the fluffy suds and play with them.

"You're so beautiful, Bella…" Edward breathed.

I looked at him, and I saw love and affection clearly written on his face. I leaned forward and kissed him. Edward cupped my cheek with his hand and deepened the kiss, pushing his tongue into my mouth, and meeting mine. After a while, I pulled away, and motioned for him to get into the tub. He obliged. Edward stood up, and I watched as he undressed himself, slower than usual. When he finished he got into the tub, and I opened my arms for him. He came over and immediately kissed me.

I moaned as I could feel his hard arousal against my thigh. My head swirled in the scent of vanilla, roses, freesia, and Edward—a dangerous combination. Edward moved his hands to my breasts, and gave them a squeeze. I whimpered. He always had this effect on me. Edward broke the kiss and began to nibble on my earlobe, while his hands moved downwards.

"Bella, we're going to go nice and slow today. Like our first time, okay, love? Let's just savor today… it was relaxing after all, wasn't it?"

Edward's words were in no way dirty, but I found myself getting even more aroused by his huskier-than-normal voice. Edward moved back to kiss me, then I gasped as he stuck a finger in me, while submerging himself into the suds only to take one of my breasts into his mouth. I was unable to see him, but I could feel him. I pulled his head to me with one hand, while arching my back to him, and I found his arousal with my other hand, and started to pump him slowly.

"Oh, Edward…"

He had stuck another finger into me, and was pumping them in and out of me slowly. I rubbed his shaft to the same rhythm. Edward had switched breasts, and I couldn't help but continually moan out his name. Suddenly, he left me. He wasn't in between my legs, in my hand, nor against my chest. I whimpered at the loss, but I saw movement underneath the suds. He resurfaced at the opposite side of the tub, suds falling from his hair, and I couldn't help but laugh. He looked like a little kid. He grinned my favorite smile before coming back to me.

"Sorry, Bella, love. It's just been a while since I've taken a bubble bath myself, and I wanted to enjoy it."

I was slightly hurt that he wanted to enjoy the bath instead of pleasure me, but that hurt didn't last long, as Edward went underwater again, grabbed my legs, and plunged his tongue into my core.

"Edward!" I screamed

That was quite unexpected of him, but I liked it. I gripped his head with my hands, urging him on. I let myself slide down the tub slightly, hoping that it would make Edward's job more comfortable. My moans and Edward's name filled the bathroom, and I just about at the brink of an orgasm when he pulled away. I whimpered impatiently when he resurfaced.

"I love you, too, Bella," Edward said earnestly, before splashing some water on me. He laughed before going underwater again. I was annoyed, so I went down with him.

The tub wasn't so deep, so I wondered how he could possibly be comfortable with being half crouching and half crawling around the tub. He was at the opposite side again, grinning at me. I went over and kissed him. I was glad vampires didn't need oxygen. I broke the kiss, then attempted to resurface, but Edward had other ideas. He grabbed hold of my hips, and dragged me down. It wasn't until I felt his hard length at my entrance did I realize what he wanted to do.

Edward pushed off the tub floor slightly, and we both resurfaced. Edward smiled playfully at me again, then leaned back against the tub wall. He never loosened his grip on my hips. Then he closed his eyes and sighed. He was the epitome of beauty, in his content state, and I found myself wanting him now more than ever. He must have felt the same way, because he opened his eyes—now filled with lust—and swiftly pushed his length into me while pushing me down to meet him at the base.

I gasped at the sudden intrusion, and Edward waited. I wasn't sure why. I lifted my shield.

What are you waiting for?

"Remember what I said earlier, love? Like our first time."

I nodded in understanding, and also as a signal for him to keep going. He thrust into me again, using my hips to help him go deeper. I grabbed his shoulders, and rode him to his rhythm. We really did make love like the first night. Edward used slow, controlled, and steady thrusts that would nonetheless throw me over the edge like a night of hard, unrestricted sex. Edward would whisper sweet nothings into my ear, while rubbing my clit, and I would moan his name in the most sensual ways.

At one point, Edward took my breast into his mouth again, and I moaned his name louder at the sensation. His thrusts, his licks, and his rubs made me reach my climax in no time. His name spilled from my lips as I convulsed in euphoria, and Edward held me to him as he spilled his seed into me, also breathing my name in sensuous ways. Once we had settled down we sat in the water just holding each other; our limbs entangled together.

"I love you, Edward." I whispered, happy from the love that radiated off of us.

"As I love you, Isabella."

Edward turned on the faucet again, and drained some of the—now cold—water and reached for the bottle of shampoo.

"May I wash your hair Bella? We never got you cleaned up, you know."

I giggled. "Of course, Edward. Go right ahead."

He grinned and squeezed some of the shampoo onto his hand, then gestured for me to turn around. I did so, and sighed when his hands started to massage the shampoo into my hair. I leaned back against him and smiled to myself. Here with Edward, was all I would ever need to be happy.

AN: That took me quite a while to write, I'll admit. I was confusing myself with the tub scenes… I thought I was doing a hot tub scene at one point, so I hope this chapter makes sense and doesn't confuse you all.

Yes, this chapter was mostly fluff and whatnot, but I should be getting back to the naughty side of them for the next five chapters! Paleblak97, I hope this is what you were looking for from me. Don't worry, not everything is about hard, rough, naughty sex. I'll be keeping the romance around, I promise!

Oh, and I hope you all noticed my Twilight reference while Bella was taking in her surroundings of the bathroom. Get it right and I'll give you a shout-out in the next chapter! Let's see who the real Twilight fans are, eh? First one gets a prize (;

All right, so, again, vote and tell me which order I should write the next five chapters! Again, the locations are up there, at my beginning note. Keep reviews and suggestions coming you guys! I thank you for staying and bearing with me.

Oh and keep in mind! Only another week until I'm off for winter break! I'll see you all then!

Cheers! dxl
