Waking up with my angel in my arms once again was something I knew I couldn't live without now that I'd been reconnected with. Looking down at my Bella I saw she was still asleep and resting after our late night activities. Just thinking of the fact that I had finally been with Bella, put a massive grin on my face. It seemed as if Bella was thinking along the same lines as I noticed how she was trying to rub her legs together only to have my leg stuck between them. I had to admit the friction she was creating was making it very difficult to not let my mind go down that road, but when she started moaning softly I knew I had no chance.

I felt something soft and wet press lightly to my chest and sure enough looking down Bella was kissing her way across my uncovered chest, only she was still asleep! Bella was having a dream, a very interesting one at that, about me. I couldn't contain my groan then. I was worried that I had woken her up when I felt her stop kissing my chest and moving her legs against mine. Gently moving her hair out of the way so I could see her face I saw that she actually fallen back into a deep sleep. How the hell did she do that..? God she was just as much a tease in her sleep as she was when she was conscious. Thinking back to that very first morning I had woken up with her in my arms, the little 'fall' she had which ended up with her hand in a certain place. Quickly shaking that memory out of my head before I could think of where her hands had been last night, I took a deep breath to calm myself so as not to spook her when she woke up.

It seemed as though Bella chose that exact moment to wake up as she sighed smiling slightly, tightening her arms which were clinging on to me where she lay across my chest. Smiling to myself I tightened my hold around her small delicate waist imagining it rounder as she carried my child within her… Whoa stop that thought right there Cullen, too fast way too fast. Taking a breath I started drawing small gentle circles on her exposed lower back as I kissed the top of her now messed up hair gently before her forehead, then the tip of her nose, trailing soft kisses down her cheek until I reached the corner of her mouth. Teasing her slightly I breathed her in deeply, letting my breath out across her parted lips before she leaned into me more kissing me passionately. Smiling against her lips when we pulled apart I gave her lips a quick chaste kiss, then a few more.

"Best. Wake up. Every" I said between kisses. God I was turning into a love sick dog or something, then again hearing her next words made it all worth it.

"Did I tell you how much I love you?" Bella mumbled as she snuggled in closer to my chest, her hand drawing random patterns over my abs.

"Maybe a few times" I said grinning madly. "Did I prove that I love you, clearly enough my angel?" I asked dead seriously.

"Definitely" Bella mumbled into my chest, still somewhat asleep. "I'm pretty sure I heard you say it once or twice, but you mainly showed me." She said looking up at me through her long lashes. I couldn't take it anymore when she kissed my chest again. I let out a loud moan before pulling her up higher so that I wouldn't have to lean down and kissed her.

"I love you." Kiss. "I love you." Kiss. "I love you." Kiss. "I…" I started only to be cut off by Bella's mouth attacking my own.

"I believe you." Kiss. "And I love you." Every time she says those words I just want to ravish her. Maybe no one would notice if we just didn't leave our deck for the next few days. Though that thought went out the window when Bella's stomach made itself known causing us both to laugh.

"Breakfast..?" I suggested.

"I think it's more like lunch but sure." Bella joked starting to get up, only to fall back down. It was almost like déjà vu for a second before the worry started to hit when I noticed Bella swaying.

"Whoa light headed." She said gripping on to me.

"Well I guess I better carry you then." I couldn't help but tease as I lifted her up effortlessly into my arms bridal style and carried her towards the door.

I was about to turn the handle when Bella suddenly noticed our lack of clothing. "Edward clothes!" I just laughed as I carried her over to the wardrobe, placing her carefully on her feet while giving her a quick kiss. Seeing a blue silk robe in the wardrobe that definitely wasn't there before, I passed it to Bella for her to put on while I just stuck with a white t-shirt and simple jeans.

Walking across to Bella's suite she headed straight for her own wardrobe, discarding the robe along the way and I found myself having to hold onto the wall I was leaning against to stop myself from attacking her. I watched as Bella picked out what had to be the most revealing bikini I had ever seen and what made it worse was it was in my favorite color, I swear this woman was trying to kill me. I was grateful when she put on a wrap-around royal blue dress over the top of the bikini, though I still found myself having to grip onto the wall as I took in her form.

"Ok, I'm decent." Bella said playfully. She was anything but.

I smiled at her as I walked closer to her, wrapping my arms around her waist as she placed her arms around my neck. "You, my angel, look anything but decent." I told her kissing her forehead. "Do you have any idea how tempting you look?"

"I think I have a pretty good idea. I can feel it." She teased back.

"The things you do to me Bella. You are so beautiful. I love you so much." I told her honestly while subtly rubbing my erection up against her. Maybe I could convince her to stay in this room all day, only with less clothing involved. Leaning my face down closer to her level, I kissed her lips chastely at first then more fiercely and passionate, I tried to move us back into her suite towards her unused bed that I thought we could put to good use. I smirked slightly when I heard Bella's moan but then she pulled away.

"Edward if you keep doing that to me, we'll never leave this room." She struggled to tell me as she continued to kiss me a few times.

"I don't see anything wrong with us staying right here for the rest of the cruise." I smirked kissing her back just as much. I thought I had won when she kissed me back again, but then she pushed against my chest and I could never force her so of course I pulled away.

"I don't want to leave this room either, believe me. But if we don't show our faces down on the deck sometime soon, someone will come up here to check on us and I don't really want anyone to walk in on us at out best." She said pushing me back towards the door. She did have a point there. I sighed defeated and allowed Bella to pull me out the door and down the stairs to the main deck where the pool was.

I saw Alice and Jasper sitting by the pools edge as well as a few other guests "It's about time you two showed your faces." My pesky older sister commented. Jasper smirked knowingly at me and I just grinned back.

"Edward you don't mind if I take a dip, do you?" Bella suddenly asked me. But I was confused by what she whispered in my ear next. "Come join me after you get over this next part." What was she up to?

Dropping my hand, Bella turned away from me only to look back over her shoulder at me as she seductively began to strip off her dress. Never taking her eyes off of mine she slowly unwrapped it from around her body before letting it fall to the deck, leaving me slack jawed as I took in what she had just done. I was still in shock as she ran forward diving into the pool then coming up from under the water she looked me over before splashing water at me. Oh she was in for it. Not bothering to take off my own clothes I ran and jumped fully clothed into the pool. Reaching Bella in no time I pulled her in for a heated kiss. Wrapping her legs tight around my waist Bella pulled herself even closer to me as my mouth attacked hers, not caring that my clothes were drenched and heavy on me now..

"Get a room guys." Jasper yelled out to us. My sister just laughed at our display, slapping Jasper playfully.

"Sounds like a good idea." Bella said when she pulled away.

"What about breakfast?" I asked playfully.

"Screw breakfast." Bella sighed throwing her arms around my neck as she kissed me again. Well I had no problem with that at all.
