Chapter 6: A River Ride

EDWARD'S POV

Last night had been one of the most memorable nights of my life. After a perfect dinner in a gorgeous restaurant, I had taken Bella to the London Eye where we both shared the sunset in each other's arms. After the stars were twinkling in the night sky, I had lovingly named off the constellations to my wife.

After that amazing evening, I carried my sleeping wife quietly back to the bedroom where I lay her down for a much needed rest.

The next morning I stayed with her; my arms protectively around her as she awoke to the morning rays. She shifted slightly and I relinquished my hold on her.

Bella rolled over on her back and stretched her arms over her head and arched her back. I took the invitation and drank in her curves. When she finished stretching, her head turned and she gave me a sweet smile. I couldn't help leaning down and kissing those plump and pouty lips. When I broke away to let her breath, she buried her face into the pillow in shyness.

How could one woman be so adorable? I trailed a hand up her rib cage making her giggle. I grinned and began to tickle her mercilessly. I had her I fits of laughter before I let her stop to breath. As she tried to catch her breath, I rolled on top of her, supporting my weight with my forearms.

Once her laughs had subsided, she gazed up at me lovingly, filling me with a sense of compassion and contentment. Bella lifted herself slightly from the bed to kiss me. I kissed her back, cradling her head in one of my hands. I deepened the kiss slightly and Bella let out a small moan in the back of her throat.

We lie in bed for the next few minutes just making out sweetly. Finally, I helped her up and into the bathroom. There I left her to bathe in peace as I went to the kitchen to ask the chef to prepare her a nice breakfast. A few moments later I heard Bella make her way down the stairs.

"Edward!" she called.

"I'm in the kitchen love," I answered back.

Minutes later she came around the corner and her eyes widened. Let me lay out the kitchen for you. There was a separate kitchen specifically made for the chef to prepare meals, and then there was another kitchen for Bella and I to use for ourselves.

"Hey there you are," Bella cheered as she spotted me sitting at the bar.

She came over to me and kissed me lightly. "So this is the kitchen huh? Wow! Even the kitchen is beautiful."

I had to laugh. She was so easily pleased. The kitchen consisted of marble top counters, a stove, and an oven, a refrigerator stocked with food, a pantry, and a table to eat at. Bella walked to the fridge and pulled out a carton of milk. After shifting through some cabinets, she finally found a glass.

Silently she poured herself a glass of milk. Then something seemed to catch her eye. I followed her gaze and smirked. To the left of the kitchen was a sliding glass door and on the other side of the glass door was a patio. Bella glanced at me before making her way to the glass door. She pushed it open and stepped out into the morning sun. The Capri pants and shirt she was wearing was a nice contrast to her skin and the sunlight. On the day we had arrived in London, I had hired special personnel to bring our luggage to the house so that we hadn't the need to worry about it.

Next she turned back to me with a bewildered look on her face. I laughed and joined her out on the porch. "What is this Edward?" she asked about the object currently covered by a tarp.

"I believe it is called a hot tub love," I answered cockily.

She slapped me lightly in the arm, "Shut up." I barely felt it.

I laughed. She continued to drink her milk as she walked over to the railing of the porch. There she put her elbows on the railing and gazed out into the garden of the backyard. I wrapped my arms around her from behind and she let her weight fall into my chest. We stood there silently just enjoying each other's presence for a while, listening to the bird sing and the wind howl beautifully. At one point I glanced down and saw Bella's eyes shining with love and joy- I was stunned. Her milky way eyes always seemed to amaze me. I could so easily decipher what she was feeling.

When she had caught me starring at her, her face flushed a rosy red. I chuckled, "Still the ever so easily embarrassed love?"

She turned so that her back was to the railing, placed her hands on my chest, and looked intently into my eyes. Then she smirked and tilted up to kiss me. The kiss was soft- feathery- to the touch- our lips barely touching, but it was enough to leave me lusting in desire. I knew, though, that now was not the time. I had a whole day planned for us.

When she pulled away to lie her head on my chest- shivering slightly at the marble coolness- I wrapped my arms tenderly around her, always aware of my ability to snap her like a twig. The moment was short lived, however, when I mentioned that we would be late if we did not get moving.

Bella sighed disappointedly, obviously not liking being separated, but stepped back none-the- less. She walked around me and to the door. Apparently she was not fully aware of her surroundings, because in the next five seconds, Bella was holding her forehead in frustrated pain, and I had given up trying not to laugh.

She stopped rubbing her now sore forehead to glare at me strongly, "And what, mister, is so funny?"

I continued to bellow with laughter, unable to form a complete sentence, "I…you…Bella…hit…head…door..." I broke into another round of fresh laughter. I really didn't want to, but that was too funny.

"Yeah, yeah. Go ahead and laugh Mr. I'm so perfect at Everything. It's not my fault I forgot that the door was closed. Jeez," she growled.

BELLA'S POV

As my forehead stopped throbbing after being impaled with a glass door, I flung it opened and stomped inside. Quickly, I washed the glass I had dirtied. I scrubbed the glass until my wrist hurt, my anger still possessing me. A few moments later, I felt cold, strong arms ensnare my waist and cold, soft lips in my neck. This time, though, I was not going to give in so easily.

Edward tried to kiss up my neck, but I refused to give him more access. I was making him struggle and fight for what he wanted. I was so hard for me to do! He always knew exactly what to do and how to do it. But, I had to remain firm and strong.

The arms around my waist tightened in frustration, and a satisfied smirk formed on my face. I heard him let out a growl and managed to stifle the giggles that threatened to bubble up from my chest. His hands then started to draw tantalizing circles on the creases that led to my hidden treasure. I involuntarily shivered and felt Edward smirk. I still wasn't ready to give in, so just to make him even more frustrated; I grabbed those amazing hands and moved them back to my stomach. I couldn't stop the giggles this time. I placed my hands on the counter to steady myself as the giggles kept coming.

"You little vixen," Edward whispered against my skin.

My anger, by now, had completely evaporated. My teasing mood had not. Edward had his chest pressed to my back. I could feel every muscle and contour of his well defined, marble-hard chest. I was pleasantly aware of something hard poking me in the rear. I knew I had him at this point- I was in control this time. Hoping to be sexy and not mess this up, I rolled my hips against his slowly- pressing my ass into his nether area. His arms tightened around me and a barely audible groan reached my ears. I smirked and shook my ass a little, feeling his cold hardness press deeper into me.

Next thing I knew, I was sitting on the counter facing Edward with his luscious lips on mine. The tables were now turned- to my…almost disappointment. My arms slowly wound around his neck as the kiss deepened. Edward trailed his lips down to the sensitive part on my neck. I moaned slightly at the feeling. The warmth spread to the area between my legs and my breathing increased to an erratic beat. Edward cupped my breast in his hands teasingly. I moaned louder this time. Gently, he kneaded them in his hands, tweaking the sensitive pink peaks through the fabric of my shirt.

Not able to resist any longer, I grabbed a handful of his hair and brought his lips back to mine. Roughly I kissed him. Then, for the first time in almost three months, I felt him turn unresponsive. He easily broke my hold on him and put some space between us.

"Bella, a little control please."

"What!? You have got to be kidding me! After everything we've done on this honeymoon, you choose now to have a 'vampire moment'!" I cried, confused. We had had sex, kissed passionately, and so much other things. How in the hell did that kiss effect him now?

Edward sighed, "It may seem as though our physical relationship had gotten easier love, but it never gets easier. I constantly have to remind myself how breakable you are. And although I know that I have enough control to make love to you, I also know that at any moment I could possibly lose that control."

I finally understood. Wow! Ever since he had taken my virginity, I thought it would be so much easier. I guess I was wrong. I wrapped my arms lovingly around his neck and embraced him strongly. "I'm so sorry Edward. If I'd a known I would have tried harder to make things easier. I haven't kept my part of the deal and that jeopardized your control. I'm sorry!"

He hugged me back and cooed into my ear, "There is nothing to be sorry about love."

I pulled away to stare at him like he was crazy, "But…"

"No buts," he interrupted. I sighed. There was no use arguing with him, so I just lie my head back on his shoulder and breathed in his sweet, intoxicating scent. His arms held me gently, and I swear I could stay here forever. But all good things come to an end, and Edward said that we had to leave. To where? I don't know.

"Do I need to change?" I asked, curious.

"Not this time love. I want you to be very comfortable for this outing," he answered.

I followed him out to the front porch. There we waited. When fifteen minutes passed and nothing happened, I turned to Edward about to question the hell out of him. He never let me speak because just a second or two later a carriage came up the driveway drawn by two beautiful mares, one white and one black. I could hardly believe my eyes. I was in my own special Cinderella fairytale.

I looked at Edward trying to fathom what the hell was going on. He chuckled softly and led me to the carriage. Like the gentleman he is, Edward held open the door for me to enter. The driver nodded politely to indicate he was aware of my stepping into the carriage.

The inside was bigger than I thought. The seats were very comfortable. The seats were a dark red trimmed in gold. I seated myself comfortably on the far side, and Edward climbed inside beside me. The breeze was just right and the fresh air was very soothing. Once we were both seated comfortably, Edward with his arms around me, the driver snapped the reins and off we were.

After about fifteen minutes of just enjoying the view and relaxing, my curiosity got the better of me. "Edward where exactly are we going?"

He kissed the top of my head lightly and answered, "Just a ride around central London. I thought that a little outing would do us some good."

I giggled and kissed the hand that was entangled with my own. My amazement escaladed as we entered some main streets of London. Shops and cafes lined the sidewalks; pedestrians rushed here and there some to work and others just in the natural hurry of life. We were both pointing out things to each other, laughing, and just enjoying the day.

When lunch time rolled around, Edward had the carriage stop in front of a beautiful little café. We entered and were ushered to a cozy table by the window. I was just peckish, so I ordered a sandwich. After a wonderful lunch, we did a little strip shopping. One shop in particular caught my attention. Edward noticed my lack of awareness and followed my gaze to what had captured me so intensely.

Over across the walkway was a little trinket shop. From what I could see in the display window, there were beautiful pendants and jewelry. I couldn't tell if they were real or not, but I really wanted one.

"Well what are you waiting for?" a god-like voice brought me out of my reverie.

I shook my head from my daze, "Huh?"

Edward laughed, "Come on."

We walked across the intersection and into the shop. I never caught the name of the place. Edward and I skimmed the isles slowly, not in any sort of hurry. His arm seemed permanently glued to my waist. Then something caught my attention again. Hanging on a beautiful silver chain was a beautiful sapphire gem and surrounding the gem was a half moon made of silver. My finger grazed its surface and I was entranced. I felt Edward come up behind me but didn't acknowledge him. The only thing that broke my trance was the necklace disappearing from my view. I looked around rapidly, trying to figure out where it went. Then I saw Edward at the check out counter purchasing the item. I was about to protest, but it was already too late.

We exited the store, and Edward had that crooked smile on his face again. Only this time, it looked cockier. As I sat back down in the carriage, I turned to him. "And what has you so high and mighty?"

The grin widened. "I'm just pleasantly surprised that you didn't protest to me buying you something."

I rolled my eyes. "I don't mind you buying things when they aren't ridiculously priced. And when it is something I don't need."

Edward looked shocked for a split second before he smiled tenderly at me and wrapped his arms around me comfortably. "I will have to remember that for future reference."

The rest of the afternoon was spent just riding through town- stopping here and there to peak into a store. At one point Edward stopped the carriage to buy me an ice cream. We both walked up and down the little street observing the items in the shop as I licked the dripping vanilla from the cone. Then I had an evil thought. "Hey Edward?"

He turned to me. "Hmm?"

And then I took the ice cream cone and smashed it gently into his face. When I pulled away I burst out into a fit of giggles. He looked so funny. The bewildered and shocked expression on his face was priceless! Edward blinked slowly once. Twice. Then with a slightly muffled voice, because of the ice cream on his lips, asked. "Why did you do that Bella?"

I smirked, "So I could do this." I pushed him with my hand against his stone hard chest. He got the message and backed up. When his back hit the bricks of the shop behind him, I lifted myself to my tip toes and hopefully sensuously licked the ice cream from his lips. When it was all gone, I kissed him slowly.

When I pulled away I was glancing into glazed eyes of passion. Pleased with myself, I made way back to the carriage, where I waited for Edward to compose himself.

The carriage shifted signifying his return. "That was pure evil Bella."

I smiled, "I know."

He buried his nose into my neck and ran it up and down the juncture between my neck and shoulder all the way to my ear where he nipped and sucked on the lobe. A sexy purr like growl flowed from his chest echoing throughout my entire body. It warmed my to the very core leaving my heated and panting. "Edward," I whispered hoarsely.

"When I get you back to the house, I am going to make you pay for your actions my dear."

"Oh really?"

I felt him nod, "Yes really."

And Edward honored his word because as soon as we made it up the threshold of the house, I was in the bedroom against the pillows with a very horny vampire above me. I checked to make sure, and his eyes were tender butterscotch. And so Edward proceeded to strip us of our clothes. Within minutes he had me begging and pleading for his touch.

EDWARD POV

As Bella moaned and pleaded beneath me, I felt myself grow rock hard against her inner thigh. Much more of this and there will be nothing left, but I wasn't quite finished making her squirm yet. I loved hearing those little mewls and moans escape those rose bud lips of hers.

When my sexual restraint finally collapsed, I swiftly entered her dripping canal immediately feeling the tightness of her passage. "Edward!" she cried, arching into me. I bent to meet her and settled myself comfortably before starting a gentle, steady pace. I groaned as she tightened around my length signifying her first release.

I made love to Bella for I don't know how long, but as I watched my love rest; I remembered the evening I had planned for the both of us.

2 HOURS LATER- TIME 5:30 P.M.

I glanced up at the staircase to see a goddess descending them slowly. Waves of silver, blue, and lavender flowed from her curvaceous body. Love and possessiveness shot through me passionate and strong. A sense of pride quickly followed. This woman…this heavenly being was mine. No one else's…mine.

As I ushered her to the limo for that evening, I complimented her divine attire. "You look stunning Bella. Breathtakingly beautiful."

An adorable blush rose to her cheeks. "Thank you."

We arrived at our destination shortly thereafter. A giant building stood tall in front of us. I could see the confusion in my Bella's eyes, so instead of prolonging the wait, I lead her inside and through a crowd of people. Through another door I took her and there before her eyes was a beautiful dining cruise ship.

Bella looked at me inquiringly. "What is this Edward?"

I kissed her knuckles softly. "I have reserved us a table on this cruise ship my love. This is a dinner cruise down the Thames River."

Her eyes widened extremely. "Oh my! Edward you didn't have to."

"I know I didn't have to. I wanted to," I assured her.

A loving smile bloomed on her face, and I led her to the boarding dock. Two of the employees were there to greet us at the entrance. I extended my hand in usher for her to go first. In return she gave me a lovely smile.

Once inside, we were led to a table. The boat was scheduled to leave at 6:30 and I was now quarter after six. I reached across and took Bella's hands in my own, my thumb creating lazy circles on her skin. Another blush rose to her cheeks, and she gazed at me through lidded eyes. I smirked as I caught the heavy scent of her arousal. Just the simplest touches had her wanting. "Now, now Bella. I believe you should wait until we return home love."

Confusion flashed through her eyes briefly. "Your scent love," I reminded.

Embarrassment was clear in her face. At that moment we felt the ship move and the intercom announce the departure. The grip Bella had on my hand tightened as the boat swayed with the swish of the waves. A lapse of fear overtook her irises. "Bella are you alright?"

"I'm fine. This is just my first time on a boat. I have to get used to the swaying," she answered.

I was shocked. "This is your first time on a boat?"

"Mmmhmm."

"Well then I'm glad to have shared this experience with you."

"Thank you again for doing this Edward. It means so much," she lovingly whispered.

Instead of replying, I stroked her hand gently. All too soon for our liking, dinner was served to all the guests of the ship. The interesting thing about this river ride was that everyone was served at the exact same time with the exact same meal.

Bella ate her dinner slowly as we enjoyed the soft music playing. By now you could barely tell we were on the boat. Then the intercom came back up signaling that a band would be playing shortly. As the band kicked up, I drug Bella out to the dance floor for a couple of dances.

As the last song ended, Bella grabbed my arm and tugged me toward the door. She flung it open and stepped out onto the deck. Laughing, she twirled in circles with her arms outstretched. Her eyes were closed in happiness. I was entranced by the sight. She was so beautiful.

We walked to the bow of the ship and looked out at the city lights of London lit by the night sky. Big Ben was seen twinkling in the distance. As the boat continued its slow ride up the river, the Tower of London became visible. Bella's face glowed with excitement.

BELLA'S POV

I was amazed. The scenery was the most amazing I had ever seen. The lights, the breeze, and the river were all beautiful. I placed my hands against the railing and threw my head back. "Edward?"

His arms wrapped around my waist from behind. "Yes?"

"I love you."

He kissed my neck. "I love you too."

We stood in silence for about fifteen minutes just enjoying the scenery. Every now and then Edward would kiss my head or neck. Unable to resist any more, I turned in his arms and kissed him slowly, passionately. Our lips moved sensuously against one another's. Involuntarily, a moan flowed from my lips.

Edward and I stood making out under the stars, on a cruise ship down the Thames, and it was one of the most memorable nights of my life. As the boat returned to the dock, we broke apart. My breath ragged and trembling; lips swollen with desire.

As we pilled into the limo, the minute we pulled back out onto the main road, Edward's lips found mine again. He kissed me carefully but enough to have my body on fire. This time, though, I felt like being a little dominant. I pushed on his shoulders. He got the message and turned on his back. I rolled on top of him, straddling his waist, and continued to kiss him. I could feel his arousal brushing against my clothed treasure.

When the limo arrived back at the house, Edward had me out and inside in about fifteen seconds flat. But I had an idea. I stopped kissing him to voice my thought.

I rose up on tip toes and whispered in his ear, "Meet me in the hot tub in five minutes." Then I turned and dashed up the stairs to the bedroom. I rummaged through the special bag the Alice had packed for me. Finally, I found it. I held up a skimpy two- piece bathing suit. It was an aquamarine blue that faded into different shades of blue. On the edges of the fabric were little designs.

Quickly, I slipped it on. For a final touch, I added a small bathing suit wrap. I descended the stairs and made way to the sliding glass door that led to the hot tub. As I neared, I could hear the jets going and knew that Edward was waiting for me.

Slowly, I slid the door open and stepped out on to the patio. Edward's eyes were huge! A sexy growl came from his lips. He looked so sexy! Oh my god! With the water cascading down his body and his muscles rippling with his movement. I approached the hot tub and lifted a foot to the step. Hopefully sexy, I lowered myself into the warm water and made way to Edward.

When I reached him, my lips immediately found his. His arms wrapped around me, and my arms found his neck and hair. I would never get over how tender and soft his lips were compared to the stone structured hardness of his body.

My hands left his hair and neck to trail over the contours of his chest. I broke the kiss to trail a line of kisses over his face and neck, gently nipping and sucking the warmed skin. The heat of the hot tub and the pressure of the jets made it all the better. I slithered down his body, kissing all that was reachable. My hands fondled the rim of his swim trunks.

Teasingly slow, I lowered the trunks. When I finally had them off, I threw them across the patio to hit the glass door with a dull thud. Edward's lips were sucking my neck now and moans flowed from my aroused lips.

His hands were on my ass, squeezing and groping. One hand came up to untie the string of my bikini top. As it fell from my form, his hands began to knead my tenderly aroused nipples in his fingers. Soon they were replaced by his lips. I moaned deep and throaty. He was so talented!

As our hands and lips explored each other's bodies, my bottoms were stripped of me at some point. His penis brushed against my heated vagina. Edward then sheathed himself deep inside me, pushing my hips down on top of his as he thrust upwards. We moved as one. "Edward!" I cried over and over, unable to keep his name from my lips. Every time we had sex it was better and better.

Edward pumped me gently at first but as time progressed and our releases neared, he began to thrust upwards, and I pushed down on him. My breasts bounced with each thrust. Edward groaned and growled sexily in my ear and whispered naughty things to me. We released in unison, crying each other's name.

I collapsed against his chest, but then I felt him go hard again. I giggled, and we began to move again. So that night, Edward and I made love in the hot tub, the kitchen, the dinning room, on the stairs, and in the bedroom. By the time I collapsed, exhausted on the bed, I had cum at least fifteen times; Edward not far behind.

We cuddled as I drifted off to sleep. Another perfect day had come and gone. Edward hummed my lullaby as my mind shut down. What I didn't know was the a tragic event rested on the horizon.

I finally finished this chapter. I am so sorry to all my fans and readers who had to wait on this chapter. I promise the future chapters will not take this long. To people who actually celebrate: MERRY CHRISTMAS!! Hope you enjoyed this chapter and the next one will be up very soon.
