A/N: I'd like to thank twilightgma1954 and Dr. Dougie for the wonderful idea for this chapter. Again, I will apologize for any grammatical errors as this is unbeta'd at the moment. This was a big chapter for me, and I hope I did okay. FYI: there's a lemon in here. It's my first attempt at a complete lemon. Usually, I just write half a lemon or a lime or a little bit of citrus, so I hope that this lemon turned out okay.

Edward had been gone for quite a bit and while I enjoyed spending time with Emmett, I was a bit concerned that Rosalie or Alice had cornered him. I excused myself from the conversation that Emmett and Jasper were having regarding cock rings, in order to go hunt down Edward. Truth be told, the conversation had been a bit disturbing.

As I headed down the hall in th direction that Edward had gone, I heard Alice and Edward talking. I had stopped to turn around and head back down the hall when I overheard Edward.

"Then my heart breaks. Alice, I trust Bella with every fiber in my being. I love her."

I let out a gasp, covering my mouth with my hand. I couldn't believe it. Edward Cullen loved me!

"You love me?" I asked softly, my gaze never wavering from his.

A blush brushed his cheeks, turning them pink. He looked so fucking adorable. He gave a nod to my question. "Very much so," he said, quietly.

I couldn't contain myself. I ran down the hall, almost knocking Alice over in my haste to get to Edward. The moment I reached him, I threw my arms around him.

"Oh, thank God!" I exclaimed. "I'm so fucking in love with you, Edward! So much so, that it scares me a bit. I haven't said anything because I was afraid that you wouldn't feel the same," I said, my arms around his waist, cheek pressed against his chest.

His heart was pounding, and I was thrilled to know it was because of me. Edward's arms were firm around me, pulling me into him before he picked me up and twirled us around. The minute my feet touched the ground, his lips were on mine. My hands found purchase in his hair, and I tugged on the strands. His grip tightened as he let out a moan before thrusting his tongue against mine.

"I love you, Bella Swan," he whispered, breaking from our kiss.

My heart swelled with love. I was amazed and awed by the feelings overcoming me.

"I love you too, Edward Cullen."

The alarm went off far too early. I let out a groan and cuddled up more closely to Edward. I wasn't ready to move from the warmth of his arms.

"Are you going to turn off the alarm?" his muffled voice asked, thick with sleep.

I let out a growl, before slamming my hand down on the stupid thing, effectively silencing it. Reluctantly, I pushed back the covers and headed toward the bathroom. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Edward throw back the covers and stretch. My eyes were immediately drawn to his bare chest and that glorious happy trail. He was so fucking hot. He caught me staring at him and blushed a gentle red. I gave him a cheeky grin, blew him a kiss, then headed into the bathroom.

I stepped out of the bathroom, wrapped in a towel, and found Edward still clad in his boxers holding a cup of coffee.

"Figured you could use this," he said softly, handing me the mug.

I took a long pull from it and let out a sigh. I was starting to feel human and more awake. I thanked him and gave his ass a light slap as he walked toward the bathroom. Twenty minutes later, a freshly showered Edward walked by into the room. It took everything in me not to jump him and have my wicked way with him right then and there.

After a quick breakfast, we loaded our bags into the trunk of his Volvo and began our journey to Seattle. The expo was being held at the Seattle Center, and it would take us roughly three hours to get there. The ride passed quickly. We spent the time talking and laughing, exchanging small touches.

"Are you excited about the expo?" Edward asked me.

"Completely. I love tattoo expos. They're a lot of fun, and you get to meet a lot of people. I think you'll have a good time."

He bit his lower lip. A sign that he was worrying. I reached over and squeezed his hand.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"I'm worried that I won't fit in," he said quietly.

Oh, my poor, sweet Edward. I gave his hand a squeeze. "You'll be just fine. All kinds of people got to tattoo expos. I'm hoping that you'll help me out at the booth."

"I can do that. What exactly do you do at the booth?"

"Talk up the shop. Maybe give a tattoo or two."

"I'll leave the tattooing up to you," he said with a little grin.

"Probably for the best. I've seen your doodles. You're not that great of an artist."

We arrived in Seattle a little after nine-thirty, and we decided to check in at the hotel, then head to the Seattle Center to begin setting up the booth. Jake and Seth had made the arrangements for us, so I shouldn't have been surprised by what they did. Edward and I parked at the hotel, grabbed our bags, and headed inside.

"Hi there! Can I help you?" the overly perky girl behind the desk asked me, all the while ogling Edward.

"Yes. We have a reservation. It should be under Bella Swan," I told her.

"Oh, yes. Here it is. Three nights in our honeymoon suite. Oh! You're here on your honeymoon? That's so sweet!"

I stared at her like she'd spoken a different language. There was no way that I'd heard her correctly. I could've sworn she said honeymoon suite. I turned to Edward and his face was bright red. Even his ears were blushing. I was going to kill Jake and Seth. But since they were the ones footing the bill, I took the keys from the girl and dragged a still blushing Edward toward the elevator.

The ride up was silent. Neither one of us spoke a word as I unlocked our room and opened the door. As we stepped in, I heard Edward let out a sigh.

"Oh, thank God. I was visions of a room draped in red velvet, with a rotating heart-shaped bed in the middle," he said, dropping his bag onto a chair.

I let out a snort. "You've watched too many porns."

"What? No, I haven't. I don't watch porn. Well, okay. That's not true. I've watched it a couple of times, but only because Emmett forced me to, and I'll shut up now."

I was dying. He cracked me up so much. Once I got my laughter under control, I had to go over and give him a hug.

"C'mon. Let's go check out the bedroom," I said, tugging him toward the door on the opposite end of the sitting room.

I pushed the door open, and gasped in awe. The bedroom was beautiful. In the middle of the room was a huge sleigh bed. Immediately, I flopped down on it, burying my face in the soft pillows. I never wanted to leave the bed. It was so comfortable. I registered movement next to me and saw that Edward had followed my example.

"I want one of these," I told him, my voice muffled by the pillow.

"It would swallow your room."

"I don't care. I still want one," I said, rolling over onto my back.

I wished we didn't have to go to the expo. I was content to stay there with Edward for the rest of our trip. Reluctantly, I got up and held out a hand for Edward. Sneaky boy that he was, took my hand and pulled me down on top of him. Not that I was complaining. I loved the feel of his hard body against mine. Leaning down, I licked his bottom lip before nipping it. He let out a moan that went straight through my body, and then he kissed me like he owned me. His tongue delved between my lips, exploring my mouth, leaving no part untouched.

His hands snuck under the bottom of my shirt and began to trace small patterns on my stomach. I broke the kiss to let out a moan. I loved how confident he was becoming. His hands glided up my torso and covered my lace covered breasts. Giving them each a gentle squeeze, while rubbing his thumb over my nipples. I kissed him harder, pouring everything I was feeling into it. God, it felt good. I began to rock back and forth on him, enjoying the dual sensations of his hands and the gentle thrusting of his hips. Edward's lips had moved to my neck, and I was enjoying the gentle nibbles when my phone rang. Wisely, I ignored it, focusing on Edward and our mutual goal of getting off. A few minutes later, we were a sweaty, panting mess.

"That was amazing!" Edward said between breaths.

"Just wait until later. If you thought that was amazing, I'm gonna rock your fucking socks off," I told him, brushing his damp hair out of his eye.

His eyes widened at my words, and then he gave me a beautiful smile.

"I can hardly wait."

After we cleaned up, I checked my phone. I had a missed call from Jake. Sitting down on the couch next to Edward, I dialed Jake.

"You rang?"

"Took you long enough to call me back," he said.

"I was busy."

"Doing what?" he asked.

"None of your business."

He snickered. "I take it you and Little Cullen are enjoying the honeymoon suite, eh?"

I rolled my eyes. "May I ask why you felt the need to book us this room?"

"Seth and I thought the two of you might need a more comfortable place to get your groove on," he replied.

We chatted for a few more minutes before saying goodbye. Edward and I headed out of the room to his car. Jake and Seth had given me a trunk with lots of posters and artwork, and while we could have carried it the few blocks it was just easier to drive there. We each grabbed a handle of the trunk and headed inside. Upon entering, we headed to the registration table. I told the woman behind the table that we were representing Eclipse. I was given a packet and directions to the booth. Edward and I wound our way through the convention center until we found the booth that would be ours for the next few days. There was a large banner up at our booth that said Eclipse.

We spent the next half hour setting up the booth and talking to people who stopped by. I was far more interested in Edward's reactions to the things and people around us. He was like a kid in a candy store; completely awed by everything around him. By the time noon had rolled around, Edward has seen me give three tattoos and had handed out tons of information to those who were from our neck of the woods.

"Your artwork is amazing," he told me after I'd finished a dragon tattoo on a young guy.

"Thanks."

"I wish I could draw the way you do. I can barely manage stick people."

"I'm sure your stick people are cute," I reassured him.

We took a lunch break, then wandered around the area for a while. Imagine my surprise when I ran into an old friend who I had worked with at New Moon.

"Bella? Oh, my God! It's so great to see you!" Nessie Wolf squealed as she gave me a hug.

I returned the hug, thrilled to see her. Nessie had always been one of my favorite people. She was tall and thin with long copper colored hair highlighted purple and an awesome pair of cat eye glasses.

"Nessie! It's wonderful to see you! How are you?" I asked after we pulled apart.

"Doing good. Working in Portland now at Pack Tattoos. What about you? Are you still at New Moon?"

I shook my head. "I work for Billy's son, Jake, at Eclipse in Port Angeles."

"Cool. Are you still with Laurent?"

I felt Edward stiffen beside me at the name. "No. Laurent and I are over. This," I said, grasping Edward's hand and tugging him forward, "is my boyfriend, Edward Cullen. Edward, this is a former co-worker of mine, Nessie Wolf."

"It's nice to meet you," Edward said shyly.

"You, too."

Nessie and I chatted for a few minutes until we were interrupted by an announcer letting us know that judging for the Tattoo of the Day would be taking place soon. The three of us decided to go to the judging area and see what tattoos were up for judging. Imagine my surprise when I learned that I was one of the artists whose work was nominated.

There were six contestants and they each showed off their tats. The judges took their time deciding the winning tattoo.

"You've totally go this in the bag. Your tattoo was awesome," Edward told me, his voice warm in my ear.

"Edward's right. Your dragon was fucking sweet," Nessie agreed.

A few minutes later the judges did indeed announce the tattoo I'd done as the winner. I didn't win anything, but I didn't need to. I was extremely proud of the work I'd done and now everyone there knew it was mine. Nothing better than free publicity. Hopefully, having a winning tattoo would garner more clientèle for the shop. I called Jake and Seth and let them know, and they were both extremely pleased and excited.

Finally, the end of the day was arriving. We had to stick around until nine, and I was more than ready to get Edward back to the hotel and finally have my way with him. We hadn't actually agreed that we were going to do anything, but we both knew it was going to happen. Sitting next to me, he kept glancing at his watch and bouncing his knee nervously. I reached over and touched his leg.

"Are you okay?" I asked softly.

He flashed me a smile that melted my insides.

"I'm fine. Just—ready to leave, you know. I'm ready to spend some time with my girl."

Nine finally arrived, and we closed the booth, more than ready to get back to the hotel. We headed back, got to our room, and then stood there staring awkwardly at each other. It was as if we didn't quite know what to do now that the moment had arrived. I was going to suggest we head to the bedroom when his stomach growled. It broke the tension, causing us to laugh.

"Let's order some room service that we can eat in bed while watching a movie. Sound good?" I asked.

"Sounds perfect."

Twenty minutes later, we were curled up in the huge bed, eating burgers in our pajamas and watching a movie. We finished our food, set the plates aside, and turned off the movie. I excused myself to go brush my teeth and when I came back, Edward had some soft music playing. I crawled into bed as Edward went to brush his teeth, and I debated on whether or not to just strip. Then I figured that might give Edward a heart attack and honestly, I wanted him alive for what I had planned.

He came back into the room and crawled under the covers, pulling me to him. His fingers played in my hair nervously as his lips melded over mine. I kissed him with everything I had in attempts of reassuring him that he had nothing to be nervous about.

"Edward?" I asked, pulling my lips from his.

"Yes?"

"We don't have to do this if you don't want to or aren't ready."

His beautiful green eyes met my brown ones. "I know. I want to. Very much so. I'm just afraid I'm going to royally screw things up."

"Impossible. I'll show you what to do. You have nothing to worry about," I replied, bringing my lips to his once more.

His hands unwound from my hair and slipped under my top, tugging it up. I broke the kiss to toss my tank top on the floor and watched as his eyes lit up upon seeing my bare breasts. I sat up, straddling him, giving him better access to them. His hands shook a bit as he brought them to my breasts, but quickly steadied as he grasped them. He touched and tugged, wringing moans of delight from me. I threw my head back, closing my eyes, and enjoying the sensations racing throughout my body.

I was so caught up in my feelings that I was a bit startled when I felt kisses between my breasts. I groaned, delving my fingers into Edwards hair to keep him there. Gently, almost cautiously, he took one breast in his mouth and sucked softly on the nipple. I let out a gasp at the feeling of his mouth on my breast. They had never been so sensitive before, and I felt that I could come from that alone. I rocked harder against him, causing him to moan against my breast.

"Am I doing okay?" he whispered.

"Oh, yes. Please, don't stop," I begged him.

He moved to my other breast sucking and licking it. My breath caught in my throat at the feelings he was invoking. As he sucked and licked on my breasts, one of his hands moved down and grabbed my ass, giving it a gentle squeeze. I grasped his head and brought his mouth to mine, attacking him. For a man with no experience, he was arousing me more than any other man I'd ever been with had. His arms came up and wrapped around me before he rolled us over so that he was on his side, hovering over me. He ran a hand down my torso and tugged gently on my pajama bottoms.

"Shou—should I take these off?" he asked.

"Please," I told him.

His hands trembled as he brought them to my bottoms, and I lifted my hips to help him as he tugged them off. His fingers slid up and down my legs before stopping on my hip, almost as if giving me a chance to say no. Like that was going to happen.

"What should I do?" he asked, his voice hoarse.

"Touch me."

"Where? How?"

"Anywhere. Everywhere. However you want."

He slid his hand over the satin of my panties, cupping me gently. I pressed myself into his hand, letting out a moan at the feeling. With a trembling hand, he rubbed his fingers up and down me, tracing my lower lips. It felt incredible, but I was eager for more. I wanted my panties off, so I reached down and pulled them off, exposing myself to Edward's gaze.

"You're beautiful," he said in a voice filled with awe.

Gently, I grasped his hand in mine and brought it back to my center. Slowly, his fingers ran softly against the outer lips of my pussy.

"You're so smooth and soft," he whispered.

He pushed his fingers deeper, opening my lips and rubbing against my flesh. He was quickly learning, and I removed my hand from his. His finger gently thrust inside of me, and he let out an earthy growl.

"God, Bella. You feel so good. So warm. So wet."

"Just keep touching me. It feels so fucking good," I moaned as he brought his lips back to my nipple.

Edward's finger kept thrusting inside of me before he withdrew it and began to circle my clit. I let out a loud moan, and he stopped what he was doing. I reached down and grabbed his hand, begging him to continue. He touched me gently again and began rubbing it. He pressed down on it and a jolt of sensation ripped through me, causing me to suck in a sharp breath.

"Bella?"

"Hmm?" I asked, lost in the feelings that he was causing.

"Um ... can I—uh, that is ...," he began, uncertainty clear in his voice.

I opened my eyes and gazed at him. He was bright red.

"Please, don't be embarrassed. Not with me. I love you, Edward. You can ask me anything."

"I love you, too. I ... it's something that I've read about that I'd like to try."

"Tell me. Please."

"I want to taste you," he said so quietly I almost didn't hear it.

Oh, fuck yes. Just the thought of Edward going down on me got me even wetter than I already was.

"I'd love that very much," I told him, bringing him down for a kiss.

Our tongues dueled for dominance before he broke the kiss to lean down and kiss the top of each of my breasts. Slowly, Edward kissed down my body, his intent clear. I spread my legs to give him better access and watched with baited breath as he settled between my legs. He bent his head down and gave the outer lips a gentle kiss. Using his fingers, he gently pried my lips open and ran his tongue up my slit. I let out a moan, fisting my hands in his hair, holding him to me. It was so fucking good, and he'd just begun. He continued running his tongue around my lips, sucking on them gently, and nibbling on my inner thighs. For a man who had no experience giving head, he was doing wonderfully, and I let him know.

My words encouraged him, and he began to become bolder. He gently ran his tongue up inside of me, thrusting it forward.

"Holy shit! Don't stop! Please, don't stop!" I cried out.

Edward pushed his face into my soft flesh and started to lick me deeply, tasting more of me. He thrust his tongue inside a few more times before running his tongue over my clit. I was delirious with pleasure. My head was thrashing back and forth on the pillow. I was so close to cumming, and I tightened my grip on Edward's hair.

"I'm so close," I moaned to him.

He doubled his effort to get me off. He slid two fingers deep into me, then opened them as wide as he could before pulling them almost back out. As he did this, he ran the tip of his tongue over and around my clit before sucking the small bud into his mouth. The combination of the suction of his mouth around me and the fingers inside of me caused me to explode, screaming his name as I came.

I lay there with my eyes closed, gasping for air as I gently ran my fingers through his hair. Slowly, he removed his mouth from me, placing kisses against my pubic mound and then my torso.

"I take it that was okay?"

"Fucking hell, Edward! That was amazing!"

I opened my eyes and saw a smug looking Edward staring back at me. I ran my hand down his side before pushing him over onto his back. It was his turn now. Kneeling, I yanked his boxers off of his body and gasped at what I saw. Edward was beautiful. Cocks are usually ugly, but his called to me. It was long and thick, and hard as a rock. Gently, I traced my fingers from the tip to the base, causing him to let out a groan.

"I won't last long, Bella," he warned me.

"Well then, I'd better get to work," I said as I leaned down and gave the tip a kiss.

I heard him let out a strangled moan before I turned my attention to the cock in front of me. Grasping him in my hand, I slipped my lips down over him, taking him in my mouth. I slid down as far as I could, sucking him gently. I heard Edward let out a small sound filled with feeling and pleasure. Slowly, I dragged my mouth off of him, until only the head remained in my mouth. I gave it a gentle sucking before running my tongue over it. He let out a strangled groan.

"Bella! I'm going to come," he whispered.

"So come," I told him before taking him back into my mouth. Every few strokes I flicked my tongue around his cock, and that was all it took. With a roar, I felt him cum in my mouth, and I quickly swallowed it down. Gently, I slid him out of my mouth, and found myself wrapped up in a tight hug.

"You've destroyed me," he said softly before pressing a gentle kiss to my lips.

We rested for a few moments, talking quietly, until I felt him beginning to stir. Reaching down, I stroked his length a few times until he was at full mast. I rolled onto my back, watching as he settled himself between my legs.

"Do we need a condom?" he asked.

I shook my head. "I'm on the pill," I told him as I tugged him gently forward.

Carefully, Edward pushed inside of me, and we both let out groans as he began to fill me. Once fully inside, he stopped, his eyes closed.

"You okay?" I asked softly, running my hands up and down his back.

"Oh, yes. God, Bella. It's amazing. I've never felt anything like this," he said, opening his eyes to stare at me.

I gave him a smile and watched his awed expression as he pulled out before thrusting back in. I began to push back, joining him in the rhythm of lovemaking. His face was breathtakingly beautiful as he experienced making love for the first time. I wrapped my legs around his waist, and Edward seemed to take it as a hint that he could thrust harder and faster. A familiar warmth began to grow inside of me, and I knew that another orgasm was around the corner. I slid one hand down my body, and Edward watched as I began to rub my clit gently.

"Edward," I moaned as the sensation grew.

Reaching down, he pushed my hand out of the way, taking over and rubbing my clit. His thrusts were coming faster and harder than before, and he pinched my clit sending me flying headlong into the most intense orgasm I'd ever had. I vaguely heard him roaring my name as he came, bathing my insides in warmth.

His heavy warmth settled on me as he collapsed from the intensity of his own orgasm. His head rested on my chest, his heart pounding as fast as mine. I stroked his damp hair with my fingers, murmuring words of love to him.

Eventually, he raised his head. His bright green eyes met mine as he cautiously asked if it had been okay.

"Are you fucking kidding me? That was fucking amazing!" I told him.

His face broke out in a silly grin. "Yeah?"

"Yeah."

He rolled off of me, tucking me into his side as his arms wrapped around me.

"I love you so much, Bella Swan. Thank you for this wonderful experience," he told me.

"I love you, too. And don't worry. There will be plenty more wonderful experiences. I can guarantee that."

"Hell, yes there will be! I thought I was addicted to you before, but now. Now, well ... let's just say that you're my brand of heroine, and I can't get enough of you."

I snorted out a giggle. My man was so goofy. I excused myself to go to the bathroom and when I came out, I found Edward passed out on the bed. Apparently, I'd worn him out. Climbing into bed, I snuggled up against him, gave him a kiss, and succumbed to sleep.

a/n: So? How'd I do? Did you survive the lemon? Did I pass? Or was it an epic fail? Let me know!
