A/N: Hope everyone had a good holiday. This chapter is basically a fluff piece. Sure there's a bit of sustenance, but not a lot. The beginning part of this chapter might be a bit repetitive, but I felt that we should have Edward's POV of their sexy times. And yes, there will be a couple of lemons in this chapter. As always, thanks to everyone who is reading this little story. And of course, thanks to those who reviewed as well. A big thanks to bananafox for coming up with a great idea that's in this chapter. Again, this is un-beta'd so if there are errors, I apologize.

EPOV

After we got back to the hotel, I was a bundle of nerves as I thought about what was going to be happening soon. Bella and I were going to make love, and it was a terrifying, yet exhilarating thought. I was barely able to eat the food that we ordered, but I managed. Once we were done eating, I knew the time had come. Bella understood that I was nervous, and she did her best to qualm my nerves.

I slid into bed next to her and immediately her lips covered mine in a passionate kiss. She broke the kiss and told me we didn't have to go through with what we were about to do, but I assured it I wanted to. I very much wanted to. I voiced my concerns about screwing things up, but she told me she'd show me what to do. I had to admit that definitely made things hotter.

Before I knew what I was doing my hands were sliding under her top tugging it up, and she broke the kiss to pull her shirt off, baring her breasts to me. They were amazing. I loved her breasts. They fit perfectly in my hand, and my hands shook a bit as I reached out to touch them. She let out some little noises as I touched her, and I felt a wave of awe overcome me. I had caused her to make those noises. Cautiously, I brought my lips to the valley between her breasts. Her hands flew to my hair, holding me close to her. Gently, I took one breast in my mouth and sucked softly on the nipple. She let out a gasp and rocked harder against me, causing me to almost lose control.

"Am I doing okay?" I whispered, hating the insecurity I heard in my voice.

"Oh, yes. Please, don't stop," she said.

I grinned a bit and moved to her other breast, sucking and licking it. As I continued to caress her breasts, my hand moved down and grabbed her ass, giving it a gentle squeeze. All of a sudden, she grasped my head and brought her mouth to mine, attacking it. I wrapped my arms around her and rolled us over, so that I was on my side, hovering over her. Before long, I had her pants off of her, then realized I had no clue what to do next. I tried to think of everything that Emmett had told me about having sex, but my mind was blank.

"What should I do?" I asked her.

"Touch me."

"Where? How?"

"Anywhere. Everywhere. However you want."

The possibilities were endless. She was giving me free reign. Slowly, I slid my hand over her panties and cupped her gently. She was so warm and damp, and my heart raced at the fact that I was touching her so intimately. With a trembling hand, I rubbed my fingers up and down her, tracing her lower lips. She let out a gasp, then started wiggling. I watched as she pulled her panties down, and I couldn't help but stare at her.

"You're beautiful," I said in a voice filled with awe. She truly was. I'd never actually seen a—well, I wasn't just sure what to call it. Vagina seemed so clinical and ugly. Pussy, I almost choked thinking the word, seemed so—so, I didn't know. I wasn't sure I could call it that,, although I'd heard Emmett and Jasper use that term plenty of times. I supposed that I could ask Bella, but now probably wasn't the time.

Turning my attention back to her, she grasped my hand and brought it to her center. Center, was a good word. I could use that for time being. Slowly, I ran my fingers against her, amazed at the softness that I felt there.

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

Unsure of what to do, I pushed my fingers deeper and rubbed them against her flesh a bit more, until I thrust a finger inside of her and let out a growl. She was so warm and wet. I'd never felt anything like it.

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

"Just keep touching me. It feels so fucking good," she moaned.

So I did. I kept thrusting my finger inside of her before withdrawing it and finding that little nub that Emmett had told was the key to the kingdom. He'd told me that if you found that nub, your girl would love you forever. For once, he was right. I circled her clitoris, and Bella let out a loud moan. I yanked my hand away, afraid that I'd somehow hurt her, but she reached down and grabbed my hand, begging me to continue. Trembling slightly, I brought my finger back to her nub and began to rub it gently before pressing down on it gently. I watched her face as pleasure rushed over it and knew that I had to taste her. I'd read about it, heard about it, seen it once in a porn that I'd been forced to watch. And I wanted nothing more than to try it with her.

"Bella?"

"Hmm?"

"Um ... can I—uh, that is ...," I began, knowing that my face 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," I said quietly, afraid that she would reject my idea.

"I'd love that very much," she said, bending down to kiss me.

We kissed for a few minutes before I began to press kisses down her body. I was nervous, but excited at the same time. Bella spread her legs, giving me better access to her center. I bent my head down and ran my tongue over her. She let out a moan, fisting her hands in my hair. Apparently, she liked what I was doing, so I kept at it. Still a bit unsure of what to do, I gently ran my tongue up inside of her, thrusting it forward.

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

That was all the encouragement I needed. I licked her deeply, tasting more of her before running my tongue over her nub. I could feel her body starting to shake, and her hands tightened on my hair.

"I'm so close," she moaned.

Holy hell, my girl was about to come. I doubled my efforts to bring her complete pleasure. Remembering something that I'd read, I slid two fingers inside of her, opening them wide while running my tongue over her small nub. All of a sudden I felt her body clench down on my fingers, and she screamed my name. I knew right then that there was nothing hotter than hearing my girl scream my name. I removed my mouth from her, dropping a kiss on her pubic mound before making my way back up her torso.

"I take it that was okay?" I asked, feeling a bit smug.

"Fucking hell, Edward! That was amazing!"

She ran her hands down my side after she had recovered, then pushed me onto my back. Kneeling, she yanked my boxers off my body causing me to gasp. Gently, she began to trace her fingers up and down my length. I let out a groan as she played with me, and I knew that I wouldn't last long.

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

"Well then, I'd better get to work," she said before leaning down and kissing the tip.

I let out a strangled moan as she slipped her lips down and took me into her mouth. Holy shit! I knew that I was going to be over in a matter of minutes at this rate. Her mouth was so warm and wet, and the pleasure I felt was amazing. I knew that I was about to come, so I had to let her know.

"Bella! I'm going to come."

"So come," was her response before taking me back into my mouth. With a roar, I let loose and felt her swallow around me. I couldn't believe that she'd done that. Or that she'd even wanted to. Carefully, she slid me out of her mouth and wrapped her up in a tight hug.

"You've destroyed me," I told her softly before pressing a gentle kiss to her lips.

We rested for a while until I began to reawaken. Bella reached down and stroked me until I was hard as a rock, then she rolled onto her back. The time had come for me to lose my virginity. Slowly, I settled myself between her legs. I asked her if we need to a condom, mentally slapping myself for not bringing any, but she told me that she was on the pill. I was going to be able to feel my girl with nothing between us.

Cautiously, I pushed myself inside of her, and we both let out groans as I filled her with my length. Once I was inside of her, I had to stop and close my eyes. The feeling was almost too much. If I so much as moved, I was going to lose it. She was tight and hot, and I felt like I was in heaven.

"You okay?" she asked.

"Oh, yes. God, Bella. It's amazing. I've never felt anything like this," I told her before I pulled out and thrust back in.

She wrapped her legs around my waist, and I started to thrust harder and faster. I watched in fascination as Bella reached her hand between our bodies and started to rub her nub. When she moaned out my name, I felt the need to bring her to completion myself. I pushed her hand away and started to rub her nub before pinching it. Her whole body tensed up, and she clenched down on my length causing me to let lose. I roared out her name as I bathed her insides with my seed. It was the most primal feeling in the world.

I collapsed on top of her, resting my head against her chest, my heart pounding against hers. Bella's fingers delved into my hair as she murmured words of love. Unable to resist, I asked her if it had been okay. I felt that it had been pretty darn amazing, and I could only hope that she felt the same.

"Are you fucking kidding me? That was fucking amazing!" she exclaimed.

I felt a silly grin break over my face. "Yeah?"

"Yeah."

I slid off of her, tucked her into my side, and wrapped her arms around me. I told her that I loved her and thanked her for a wonderful experience. She told me she loved me and promised there would be plenty more experiences like that. I could hardly wait.

Our weekend in Seattle went by way too fast. We spent our days at the convention and our nights making love. It was amazing and wonderful, and I was so glad that Bella had been my first. I hoped that she would be my last. I never wanted to be with another woman. She was it for me. I knew that it was too early in our relationship to be thinking of marriage, but I hoped that someday she would agree to be my wife. I was sure if Emmett found out about my thoughts of marriage he'd say that I was pussy-whipped and that it was stupid to fall so hard for the first girl you slept with.

"What are you thinking about?" Bella asked me, drawing me out of my thoughts as we drove back toward Forks.

"What a wonderful weekend this was," I told her.

She reached over and grabbed my hand, giving it a gentle squeeze.

"It was pretty spectacular, wasn't it?"

"It was," I agreed.

We talked about the convention and our lovemaking on the way home, and I blurted out that I hoped we could continue to do it. Bella let out a husky laugh and told me that she wasn't about to stop making love to me. I was a bit relieved. I was afraid that once we got back into our daily routines, we would find ourselves too busy or too tired to do it.

A little over three hours later, we pulled into my driveway, and I groaned when I saw Emmett, Alice, and Jasper on my porch.

"What are they doing here?" I asked, a bit put out that they were there.

Bella shrugged. "Who knows? Maybe they wanted to hear about the convention," she suggested.

I didn't think that was it. As we got out of the car, I got a bad feeling that something was going to happen, and it would be all Emmett's fault.

"Hey, hey kids! How was the convention?" Emmett boomed as we made our way up the steps to my house.

"Good," we said.

Emmett put on a pout. "Good? That's it? Nothing exciting happened? Like, oh, I don't know ... getting your groove on?"

"If we did get our groove on, it's none of your business!" I snarled at him.

I immediately wished I'd kept my mouth shut. My snapping at him was a dead give away that we had indeed gotten our groove on.

He let out a hoot. "You so did! Little Eddie lost his virginity!" he shouted to the world.

I was going to freaking kill him! My face flushed a dark red, and I pushed my way past him to find my door slightly open.

"How'd you get into my house?" I growled out.

"Mom gave me her spare key. I told her I needed to drop something off for you," he explained.

I was going to be having words with my mother. I opened the door to my house and set our bags down before Emmett pulled me into the kitchen. There are the table was a cake with the words Congrats! written on it. I narrowed my eyes and stared at him.

"What is this?" I asked, gesturing toward the cake.

"It's a cake. I bought so that we could celebrate your deflowerment," he said with a big grin.

"Excuse me?" I asked. I surely hadn't just heard what he'd said. There was no way he just said that we were celebrating my losing my virginity.

"You heard me. Congrats on finally getting laid, bro!" Emmett hollered, grabbing me around the waist and twirling me around.

"Put me down, now!" I yelled at me.

"Geez, Eddie. What's wrong? I'd thought you'd be more relaxed after you finally got laid," he said.

Apparently, my moron of a brother thought he was funny, and I wasn't having any of it. I'd had a wonderful weekend with my Bella, and here he was trying to desecrate it.

"That's it! Get out of my house!" I yelled at him, grabbing his arm and dragging him toward the door.

"Dude! What the fuck is your problem? I was just goofing off!"

I leaned up and got in his face. I was tired of him always picking on me.

"What's my problem? What's my problem? Are you freaking kidding me? All you ever seem to do is pick on me. Let's make fun of shy, geeky Edward! I'm so freaking sick of it! I just wish you would lay off. Anytime something monumental happens to me, you're always there to ruin it by demeaning whatever it is. What Bella and I did this weekend was none of your business. What we did was between the two of us and it was wonderful and sacred and here you are trying to cheapen it. So, just get the fuck out of my house," I said, tired and weary from my rant.

A look of shock had crossed their faces. Alice opened her mouth as if to say something, but Jasper shook his head at her.

"I told you this was a bad idea," Jasper said to Emmett, shooting me an apologetic look.

"I'm sorry, Edward. I didn't mean anything by it. I was just joking around," Emmett said, and I could tell that he was truly apologetic, but I didn't care at that moment. I just wanted him gone.

I gestured toward the door, indicating that they needed to leave. As soon as they were gone, I slammed the door shut, locking it. I leaned back against it, furious that the good mood I'd been in was ruined. Bella came over and wrapped her arm around me, resting her cheek on my chest.

"I'm proud of you for standing up to him. I like your brother, but clearly you got all the brains and the looks in the family. I'm sorry, baby, that you had to deal with that" she said, giving me a gentle squeeze while pressing a kiss over my heart.

"It's not your fault that my brother's a complete ass," I said, bending my head to kiss her.

"Well, let's get your mind off of him and his stupid idea," she said, tugging my hand and leading me toward the bedroom.

"Just what are you planning, Ms. Swan?"

"Well ... I was planning on letting you have your wicked way with me. Is that alright?"

I gave her a smile. "Like I'd say no?"

We walked up the stairs to my bedroom, where we began kissing and slowly removing each other's clothes. Bella suggested that we take a shower together since we hadn't had time to take one with that morning. I was completely on board with that. I headed into the bathroom where I turned the shower on, making sure that the water wasn't too hot. When I had it the temperature I wanted, I called out to her letting her know that it was ready. I couldn't keep my eyes off of her as she walked naked into my bathroom. She was a vision. Her body was wonderful. Not too skinny, with curves in all the right places.

I pulled back the shower curtain and let her step in first before following. I couldn't take my eyes off of her as she tipped her head back to wet her hair. I watched, fascinated as the water droplets raced down her body. She looked like a goddess. Reaching out, I traced the droplets as they fell onto her breasts. She let out a little hum and opened her eyes, staring at me as she pulled me in close for a kiss. My fingers moved to cup her full breasts, where I gave them a gentle squeeze before bringing them up to tug on her nipples. Eventually, she broke the kiss, grabbing for the bar of soap that I kept in the dispenser. I watched as she lathered her hands up, and she gave me a sexy smirk.

She brought her hands to my chest, and all I could do was watch as she slid them across my chest, tweaking my nipples, and then down my torso. I threw my head back with a groan when she wrapped her slick hands around me, twisting and pulling, and nearly causing me to lose my mind. Once the soap was washed off, she sunk to her knees, and I was immediately concerned that the bottom of the tub would be too hard on her knees.

"You don't have to do that," I told her.

"Oh, but I want to," she told me, looking up at me with those large brown eyes.

I cupped her cheek in my hand. "Your knees are going to hurt."

She rolled her eyes. "I'll be fine. Now, let me get back to what I was doing," she said as she brought her mouth to the tip of my—I guess, cock would be an appropriate word.

She ran her tongue up the length of my cock, while her hands slid down and gripped the base. I couldn't tear my eyes away from her. Watching her take me into her mouth had me fisting my hands to keep from gripping her hair and pounding into her mouth. We both let out a moan as she took as much of me as she could, and I bucked at the sensation. The pleasure was becoming too much, but I wasn't ready for it to end just yet, so I gently pulled her off of me. She gave me a pout, but I quickly distracted her by bringing my lips to her breast. Gently, I sucked and tongued her hard little nipples causing her to let out moans of delight, while gripping my hair. While my lips were busy, my hand began to travel down her torso toward her center.

My hand moved down to her folds, and Bella let out a moan as my fingers trailed over her sensitive labia. She sucked in her breath through her teeth as I parted her and effortlessly slid two fingers into her center. She felt amazing, and I was never going to get used to the feel of her warm and wet around me. Unable to resist my Bella, I let go of her nipple and trailed a path of kisses and nibbles down her stomach. Now I was the one kneeling and all I could think about was tasting her again. Slowly, teasingly, I licked her and sucked on her sensitive bud until she fell over the edge, screaming my name.

"I want you in me. Now!" she moaned, tugging me up.

My knees protested as I stood, but the discomfort was quickly forgotten as Bella wrapped one leg around me. I wasn't quite sure how having sex in the shower was going to work. I was afraid one of us would slip and fall, but I was desperate to be inside of her. I cupped Bella's butt in my hands and hoisted her up. Both of her legs were wrapped around my waist, and I had her pressed against the cool tile of the shower. She shifted a bit, causing the tip of me to brush against her, and she let out a husky moan. She seemed to like that so I did it again, rubbing the head of my cock over her nub before slightly entering her and then pulling back again. Bella's back arched wildly, and her whole body shuddered as she came.

"Fuck, Edward. I want you to fuck me!" she growled out, slamming her lips against mine.

Well, alright then, I thought. I pushed into her gently, then with a bit more force. We were both moaning by the time I was fully sheathed inside of her hot, wet, tight body. Despite the fact that we'd done this a lot over the weekend, I still had to think about Emmett wearing a pair of speedos to keep from coming right away. I moved one hand to brace myself against the wall, while holding her up with the other, and then I started thrusting. Slow at first, then gradually picking up more speed. Bella was clinging tightly to me, meeting my every thrust, and moaning incoherently. It wasn't long until we both came with a shout.

I rested my head on the tile behind her as I slowly lowered her feet to the ground. Her arms were wrapped around my shoulders, and her head was on my chest.

"Fucking amazing," she breathed out.

Eventually, the water started to cool, and we reluctantly parted. I stepped out of the shower and opened up a big fluffy towel to wrap Bella up in. Once she stepped out, I dried her off and wrapped her up. As she made her way to my bedroom, I dried off and followed her. Soon we were dressed in pajamas and made our way down to my kitchen. It was a little after seven, and we were both hungry after our romp in the shower.

"How about some grilled cheese and tomato soup?" I suggested after looking through my cupboards.

"Sounds good. I'll make the grilled cheese. You burnt them last time," she said, swatting me on my butt as she walked by.

Cheeky wench. I got the soup out of the cupboard and was about to open it when my phone rang. Checking, I noticed it was my mom.

"Hey, Mom."

"Hi, sweet boy. How was your trip?"

"It was good. We had a nice time."

"That's wonderful, dear. I just wanted to call and make sure you got home safely. I'll let you go now. Give my love to Bella," she said.

"I will. Oh, and Mom? Don't ever give Emmett a key to my place."

"What did he do?" she asked a bit wearily.

I ran a hand over my face, unsure of how to answer that.

"He got me a cake."

"That doesn't seem so bad," she said.

"Ha. Yeah, well, he said it was because I finally—" I stopped. There was no way I could tell my mother that I'd given my virginity to Bella.

Thankfully, my Mom seemed to know what I was about to say.

"That boy is an idiot! I will be having words with him. Don't you worry about that," she promised me.

After dinner, we cleaned up and headed back upstairs for bed. We hadn't actually discussed Bella staying with me, but it made sense. I wasn't looking forward to going back to the real world.

"What's wrong?" Bella asked, after we were in bed.

"Yeah. Just thinking about how going back to the real world is going to suck. I've enjoyed living in our bubble."

She let out a laugh. "Our bubble's a good place to be. But don't worry, Edward. No matter what, we'll still find time to be together. It's not like we live far apart."

"I know. It was just nice not having a nosy family around all the time or worries about whether or not Laurent and Rosalie are up to something."

"I know. We'll deal with all of that as it comes," she said, pressing a kiss to my chest.

I held her close, told her I loved her, and quickly drifted off to sleep.

a/n: a bit of fluff there. As always, leave me some love or whatever.
