AN: First off this is my first attempt at writing a lemon. Let me know what your thoughts are, but please be kind. I wanted to write it well without being gross or raunchy. Second I don't usually alternate points of view multiple times in a chapter, but I did in this one to try and show both sides without having to rewrite the same chapter from the other's perspective. I know that can get boring real fast. Sorry for the long AN. On with the chapter!

Chapter 14

EPOV

My emotions were in overdrive as I carried Bella gently up the stairs to my bedroom. I couldn't believe the events that had just unfolded around us. Here I had been worrying and stressing over how to tell her that I loved her and it just happened so naturally and it felt magnificent!

Having finally uttered those three powerful words to the woman of my dreams was the most significant moment in my life thus far. I had heard others speak about what this moment would feel like and to be honest I had thought they were exaggerating just a little, but now I knew exactly what they had been talking about.

Sharing that depth of love and emotion with another person was all consuming and incredibly powerful. Knowing that the person I had given my heart to felt the same about me was such an awe inspiring moment that there were no words.

As I held her in my arms and reached the doorway to my bedroom, I knew that waiting to share this moment with Bella had been the right decision. Other parts of me had readily disagreed on many occasions, but there was just something to be said for making love to the woman that you loved that was inherently more special than having sex with a woman that you just desired physically.

Bella was all of these things and some that I couldn't explain. I knew that although I desired her more than I could fathom at any given moment that I would be making love to a woman for the first time in my life and I intended to do this right.

As Edward carried me up the stairs towards his bedroom, I knew without a doubt that this was the right choice for me and for us. I was completely ready to be with him in every way. Though the path that had lead us here was not exactly smooth, it had by far brought us closer together than anything I could imagine. This was the last step for us in sharing and showing our love.

Edward carried me to his bed and gently laid me done on the soft comforter. His eyes never leaving mine as he leaned down and lay along side me. We were lying on our sides facing each other and there was a dim glow of the light from the hallway coming through the doorway.

Edward reached up and ran his hand down the side of my face and it came to rest on my chest just above my breast. Even that subtle touch had my heart racing and my breath speeding up. I could see the love and desire in his eyes as he looked at me with such intensity that I wanted to never look away from him.

He repeated the motion of stroking my jaw line and shoulders several more times, but with each pass he brought his face closer to mine until his lips were less than an inch from mine.

"Bell, I love you more than I could ever express in words. I want you to never doubt that," he whispered against my lips. The emotion behind his words was evident.

"Baby, I love you, too," I whispered back before closing the distance that separated us and crushing my lips to his in hopes of solidifying my words.

God he tasted amazing. This was just a taste that was uniquely Edward. It was sweet, sensual, and masculine. I knew that no matter what I would never tire of his taste. We kissed for what seemed like forever. We shared slow tender kisses and kisses that were a fight of dominance between our tongues that never seemed to end. I never felt rushed or the need to move to another phase. It was natural and all about exploring each other.

Edward's lips never left mine, but he began to trail his hand down my jaw to my neck and then to my shoulder, pausing to caress the exposed skin of my collarbone. His gentle touch on my skin raised goose bumps and sent my heart racing again. It shocked me that such a simple thing could send me over the edge so quickly. I certainly hoped that my heart could keep up as things progressed.

After a moment he continued to trail his hand down my arms and over my side. Eventually coming to rest on the exposed skin of my waist where my shirt had risen up. This time though he paused for the briefest of seconds before sliding his adept fingers under the hem of my shirt and up towards the base of my bra. The skin he passed over as he proceeded towards my chest blazed at his touch. His hands were gentle but firm as they caressed my flesh.

I couldn't help the moan that escaped my lips as he ran his hands over my breasts and I felt my nipples harden even more at his touch. I would have been embarrassed at the noises that escaped me if I could have conjured a coherent thought at that moment, but I was too lost in Edward's hands and lips to care.

Edward apparently beingg spurred on by my sounds and rolled us so that I was on top of him, and he was now trailing hot opened mouth kisses down my jaw while he worked my shirt over and off my body being careful to not jostle the arm still in a cast. It was a pain in the ass to deal with, but I was sure as to hell not going to let that piece of plaster get in the way. As fast as the shirt was off, my bra joined it somewhere on the floor and Edward attached his hot lips to my breast.

Shit! That felt amazing!

The sensations coursed through me and traveled downwards to ignite everything in its wake. Once Edward had finished with one side he kissed his way over to the other, obviously not wanting to leave my other breast out on the action. Needless to say the other breast was just as happy to have his attentions.

Rolling so that Bella was on her back and I was hovered over her, I continued my assault on her luscious breasts. God everything about her was better than my imagination could have guessed. Her skin was smooth and smelled delicious.

Her breasts, which were the current focus of my minstrations were absolutely perfect! I was enthralled with every new area of Bella that I discovered.

Bella obviously wanting to even the field forcefully tugged at my shirt, but her injured arm was slowing her progress tremendously. I quickly detached myself from her skin to remove my shirt and gazed at the goddess before me.

"Beautiful," I whispered as I resumed to my kissing and made my way down her silky skin to the waist of her yoga pants. Finally reaching this moment and being able to show Bella my love in all ways possible was amazing and mind blowing to say the least.

I knew that any time I had spent with a woman in the past though physically satisfying, it had been emotionally void of anything special. This moment with Bella, showering her with all the attention I could lavish at one moment was millions of miles apart from any other encounters in my past. This was making love.

Bella writhed under me and her hips lifted up looking for any friction they could find. God she was the sexiest woman I had ever seen and she was mine!

"Edward,,,please," came Bella's husky voice begging for something, anything at that moment.

"What baby?" I whispered back as I slowly began to lower her pants down her smooth thighs taking my time to honor each passing inch of her creamy skin with my lips and hands.

"Edward, I need you, please!" she rasped back at me trying to catch her breath enough to speak evenly with no success. Seeing her in such need of me almost made me lose my focus and forget about doing this right. There would never be another first time between us, and I was determined to make this memorable and special.

Instead of answering her with words, I slowly lowered her lacy panties down her thighs in the same fashion I had removed her pants. I knew that as soon as she was bare for me that I would have to muster all of my self control and not dive right in so to speak.

God I was right!

As I inched my way back up her legs and was faced with the vision of Bella lying naked before me, I almost lost it completely. She was breathtaking. Her eyes were closed and her lips were slightly parted as she tried to steady her rapid breathing.

She was calling to me in every way possible and she had no idea of her pull over me.

Sliding my hands up her thighs, I gently grazed my fingertips over where she wanted me most and she let out a groan that shot straight to my dick. I groaned back in response to the warmth that spread down my fingers as I increased my pace and pressure.

"Unghh…Edward that feels…," Bella breathed out at me as her hips writhed under my touch.

"God, Bella you feel so good!" I moaned back at her. The feeling of Bella on my fingers was sheer pleasure! I could tell she was getting close to her release as my movements increased in speed and intensity.

"Edward, I'm so close!"

With a twist of my hand and a few more movements Bella came undone. She was writhing against my hand and gasping for breath. It was the most amazing sight to behold.

"Edward that was … amazing!" she proclaimed as she looked up at me with heavy lidded eyes.

Before I could respond to her though she trailed her hands down my body to the waist band of my jeans and quickly undid the button and zipper. Her soft little hand was in my boxers and surrounding my length in a matter of moments. The sensations were incredible. She wrapped her hand around me and began a slow, steady rhythm that was nothing short of sheer torture.

BPOV

The feel of Edward's length in my hand was electrifying. As I passed my hand over his smooth, hard length I began to feel that pull in my lower stomach again. I could hardly believe that I was aroused again so quickly after the orgasm Edward had just given me. It's not to say that I haven't had an orgasm before, but they had never been to such a ferocious intensity before. Somehow with Edward it was all consuming and powerful.

Apparently Edward was feeling the same as I was because his breathing was becoming more and more erratic with each stroke of my hand.

"Bella…baby.. you need to stop. I want to be with you when I come," he pleaded and I could tell that he was stealing all his self control to make this plea.

God I was coming undone all over again!

Choosing action over words, I released him and pulled my hand out of his boxers before pushing them down with his pants the best I could with one hand. He must have sensed my struggles and relieved himself of his clothing in one swift motion.

Holy shit! He was the most gloriously magnificent man I had ever seen, Adonis be damned!

His eyes made contact with mine and they never wavered.

He positioned himself between my thighs and continued to look at me with such love and intensity that I knew that I was being made love to for the first time.

"Bella, I love you more than you could ever know," he whispered before kissing me and pushing forward to enter me for the first time.

I was hit by a tidal wave of emotions both from his declarations of love and the sensations coursing through me as he continued a steady rhythm.

"Oh god Edward, I love you too!"

I could barely string together a thought as he sent sensations running through me that were electrifying in their intensity. I knew at that moment that I would never want to be with another man. This was it for me. Everyone in my past was simply leading me to Edward.

Much too soon for either of our liking we began to reach our climax together. Edward was increasing his pace and I was meeting him with my hips. I could tell by his change in breathing that he was on the verge and just that thought alone brought me to the brink as well.

"Edward come with me," I breathed in his ear as his head dropped to me shoulder and he let out a muffled groan.

"Fuck," he gasped as he reached his release at the same time as I reached mine.

"Mmmmmm," was my very intelligent response. I honestly couldn't think of anything else at the moment that was a better response. My nerves were tingling and my muscles felt like jello.

Edward gathered his breathing and thoughts first and began to move off of me, much to my dismay. I wanted him to stay that close forever, but I knew that wasn't realistic. A girl can dream though can't she. I could think of worse ways to spend the rest of my life!

As he rolled to his side, Edward pulled me with him and I snuggled into his neck wrapping my arms and leg around him.

"I love you," I whispered as my eyes grew heavy with sleep. I was exhausted. Between the amazing night I had just spent with Edward and the recovery my body was still undergoing I could hardly hold my eyes open.

"Love you too, beautiful," Edward whispered back into my hair as he placed a gentle kiss on my head before I drifted off to sleep.

EPOV

I could feel a tickling sensation running across my stomach and I was seriously debating on the worth of seeing what it was versus staying in this perfect moment awhile longer.

After Bella had drifted off to sleep last night, I had held her and whispered my words of love to her until some point in the middle of the night. I still couldn't quite fathom the fact that I could now tell Bella how I felt anytime I felt like it. Not to mention the fact that I could now show her, too!

Last night had been the most amazing night of my whole life and I was thrilled that I was lying in my bed with the woman of my dreams in my arms.

Damn! The tickling sensation was increasing to the point that it no longer could be ignored.

I slowly opened my eyes to adjust to the light streaming through the window blinds and looked down to see that the source of the tickling was Bella's fingers running an abstract pattern on my skin.

"Good morning handsome," she purred before leaning down to kiss my chest.

"Good morning beautiful girl," I replied. Before I could say anything else, Bella's wandering hand creeped below the sheets and made its way towards my now prominent erection.

"Bella," I warned not really sure exactly what my argument would be at this point.

"Yes, Edward," she grinned at me as my breathing started to increase.

I knew I had something to say, but suddenly my thoughts were in a whole new direction. Just as I was about to really lose control and return some of this good morning treatment to Bella, I heard my cell ring from the nightstand.

Damn it! Who the hell could that be?

I gathered my wits and grabbed the phone to check the caller ID and groaned when I saw it was mom. Bella looked over at the display at the same time I did and giggled because she knew I would have to answer it.

I flipped open the phone and tried to settle my voice to answer my mom with some dignity.

"Hello," I croaked, so much for dignity. Bella's giggles became more intense at hearing my voice. Thankfully she had stopped what she was doing. Well maybe not thankfully, but there was no way I could talk to my mom while she was doing that.

"Hello, dear," came my mother's sweet voice.

"Did I wake you?" she asked.

"No, I was already awake," I responded and Bella giggled even harder. I was fairly certain my mother could hear Bella's laughter on her end of the phone.

"Good, I just wanted to invite you and Bella over for lunch today. We are decorating the family tree and I want you both to be here. As long as Bella is feeling up to it that is," she finished.

Well after last night I was fairly certain Bella was up for almost anything within reason.

"I'm sure she will want to be there. What time?"

"Let's say around noon. That way you two can get settled for the day and do whatever you need to before you come over," she replied.

"Sounds good. I'll let Bella know what the plans are," I answered back. Even though Bella could hear our entire conversation, I didn't want to let my mom know that Bella and I had been sharing a bed for the past week. I know my mom isn't stupid, but she's still my mom after all.

"Bella, make sure that son of mine feeds you breakfast in bed before you come over," came my mom's final comment before she hung up the phone.

It took a moment for the realization to settle in and Bella just started giggling all over again. I should have given my mom more credit, she was no fool!

Shaking my head I rolled over and pinned Bella to the bed.

"So you think my mom busting my balls is funny do you?" I asked as I peppered her face with kisses as she squirmed around under me. Now that was an interesting scenario.

"You should have seen your face! It was priceless!" she gasped as she continued to laugh and wiggle around.

At this point I had to laugh with her. It really was too funny. Unfortunately for us though there was not enough time for any more fooling around this morning because we had to get ready to go to my parents' house to decorate. It had always been a big deal for us all to get together and ready the house for the holidays. I knew that this year would be especially important because it was the first year I was bringing anyone with me. I could not wait to share this time with Bella.

AN: Please review. I love all of your thoughts. I respond to ach one! Happy New Year!
