Chapter 19

BPOV

My life could not get any better. Well, one day it will when Edward and I get married and have babies, but for now, I am blissfully happy. Our prom exceeded every expectation I had. I knew Edward would like my outfit, dress and undergarments, but I never expected he would have our room filled with candles and roses. He is such a romantic. Oh...and making love to Edward that night was so exciting... and that bath was so perfect. We have never been as close as we are now.

Since then I have been trying to come up with a little surprise to thank him, and I think I have just the right thing. Today is our graduation day. High School is finished and we are heading onto bigger and better things. I cannot wait for this damn ceremony to end so I can put my plan into action. We are having a graduation party at Edward's house later tonight. I am sure the entire school will be there. Everyone loves the Cullen parties.

"Isabella Swan" the principal announces.

Finally it is my turn. I walk to the stage and the principal hands me my diploma. I hear cattle calls from the audience. Emmett is louder than everyone as Rose is whistling. Alice and Edward are clapping, as are my parents. Jake and Billy are here too. The ceremony finally ends and we pile into our cars and head out. Edward and I go to his house so we can change and get ready for the party. Em and Rose are stopping at her house first and Alice is running to Jasper's. Our parents are busy talking to every parent at the ceremony. God knows how long they will be, but that is okay because I need a little time alone with Edward.

We get to Edward's and we climb the stairs to his third floor bedroom, ready to shed these ugly gold robes and get into something more comfortable. We are now in his room and he grabs jeans and a t-shirt to change in to. He drops his robe and I sigh when I see that he is dressed in a white button up dress shirt and tan pants. Fuck he is hot. I am standing here in silence watching him drop trough noticing he is going commando, and I try my damnedest to keep the drool in my mouth. I have seen him naked many times but I will never get over how gorgeous he is. He is an Adonis. Of course he catches me checking him out.

"See something you like love" he smirks.

It takes me a moment to register that he has actually asked me a question and is expecting an answer. I take a deep breath, "Oh baby, you know I like what I see." Take that buddy! His eye brow cocks and he gives me that look that means 'watch it little girl' and I can feel my panties get wetter. "Aren't you going to change Bella?"

I act dumb "Oh, yeah, of course." I take my cap off and sit it in the chair. I slowly unzip the front of the gown, completely aware that I have his full attention. He is even standing at attention. Mmmmm... FOCUS BELLA.... As soon as I have my gown unzipped I flip it open dropping it to the floor in one sweeping motion. His jaw drops and his eyes glaze over. Why? Because I am standing here in nothing but a black lace bra, black lace panties, black fish net stockings that are attached to a garter belt and black fuck me pumps.

"Is there something wrong Edward." I giggle.

"I..um..yeah...no...I mean..." he stutters.

Oh yeah, I have him right where I want him. I walk to him swaying my hips from side to side, watching as his head follows in time with my movements. I love that I have this affect on him. As soon as I am standing in front of him I bring my hands to his face, caressing his cheeks to get his attention. "What are you thinking baby?" I whisper in his ear.

"Fuck me Bella. I cannot believe this is all that you have been wearing under that damn gown all day. I wish I knew earlier because I would've drug you into our biology classroom and fucked you silly across our lab table" he groans as he runs his hands up and down my sides.

"That is a shame Edward" I pout, "I would've loved a good banging in biology."

With that his resistance broke. He attacks my lips and his arms encircle my body crushing me to him. Our kisses are hot and wet. Just like my underwear. He lifts me up and carries me over to the chaise in the corner of his room. He sits down but stands me in front of him between his legs. He runs his hands up and down my body from my shoes to my shoulders.

"God Bella you are so beautiful. How did I get so lucky?" he sighs. He unclasps my bra and massages my breasts. My head falls back at the sensation and I can't contain the moan from the electricity of his touch. My breasts fit perfectly in his big strong hands. He leans forward and starts kissing my stomach as he peels my panties from my body.

I reach down to undo the garter and he stops me. "Leave them on love....the shoes too." I am so wet I can feel the liquid running down the inside of my thighs. My body is aching for his. He pulls me onto his lap straddling his waist and I immediately take him in. We both cry out at the sensation of becoming one. I use his shoulders as leverage and start rocking over him, lifting up enough to were all I can feel is the tip before I slam back down taking him in completely. His hands are on my waist guiding my hips. His grunts are getting louder and I know he is getting close. I give him a hard kiss and lift off his body. He cries at my action, but I quickly turn around so my back is against his chest. I take his steel shaft into my throbbing pussy again, and start bouncing on him.

"Ahhh Bella, this feels..so...good" he pants. His hands grab my breasts and he starts squeezing them, rolling my nipples between his fingers. My brain starts to become mush at the sensations he is sending through me. But I have one other trick up my sleeve. Too bad he can't read my mind because he is going to die with what I am about to do.

As he lifts me up I reach back and grab his dick in my hand. I can feel his breath on the back of my neck and I know he is about to protest. I pump him a couple times before I guide him into my back hole. He hisses as I slowly sit on his lap, his throbbing dick diving into new territory. I reach my arms behind my head and latch them in his hair as I begin to move on him. One of his hands leaves my breast and makes its way to my pussy and he rubs my clit with his thumb as I feel him insert a finger into me. I start grinding on him, moving faster and faster. He pumps and rubs me swift and hard. I can feel the coil in my stomach begin to twist. I turn my head and latch my lips onto his as my orgasm takes over my body. Fireworks are exploding behind my eyes as his mouth captures my scream. My head falls to my chest as I continue to ride him. His moves become almost frantic and then he bites my neck as he growls through his orgasm, pulsing his cum into my ass. He wraps his arms around my body holding me close to him as we slow down. I can feel our hearts beating in time and I want to cry at the feeling of us as one entity.

"Oh Bella" he sighs, "that was....hell, I don't have words to describe that."

All I can manage to squeak out is "I agree."

We gently stand and make our way to his bathroom for a brief shower. We get dressed and make it downstairs before anyone gets home. Alice, Jasper, Emmett and Rose arrive along with our parents. All of our parents want to talk to us before the party. We all pile into the living room hoping that we aren't getting some weird 'don't drink' talk.

Carlisle begins "Well kids, we are very proud of you all." Esme follows next "You all have done such a good job in school and all of you are going to be off to college soon, moving onto the next chapter of your lives." My dad Charlie is next "We, all of the parents, wanted to give you guys a graduation gift that would be a perfect getaway before school starts." Alice is about to bounce off of the couch she is so excited. My mom Renee finishes "All six of you are going to the Bahamas for 3 weeks." The six of us are clapping, hugging each other, jumping up and down and cheering. I cannot believe that they are sending us to the Bahamas.

Esme gives us the rest of the information on our trip. They rented a house on the beach. There will be staff coming by twice a week to clean and ensure that the food is stocked. I cannot wait. Of course Alice has already told Rose and I that we need to go shopping for bikinis and dresses, and shit... I don't know what else. I kinda tuned her out as soon as Edward grabbed me and gave me a kiss.

Soon the entire house is booming with people. I think everybody from school is here. We even invited our friends from the reservation. I think I saw a couple teachers. The music is playing and there is enough food to feed an army. Esme had it catered and everyone is having a wonderful time.

Edward and I are latched to each other like glue. We make our way around stopping to talk to the friends we are going to miss. And we avoid the skanks like the plague. A beautiful blonde runs up to Edward and wraps her arm around him. "Edward, I have missed you" she yells.

I am standing in a state of shock. Who the fuck is this girl? I am going to have to kick her ass!!! Edward sees the look on my face and is quick to calm me down by introducing us. He puts his arm around me and gives me a kiss, "Nessie, this is the love of my life Bella. Bella, this is my cousin Nessie." I let out the breath that I did not realize I was holding in.

She grabs me into a hug. "Oh Bella, I am so glad I got to finally meet you. I have heard all about you."

Now I remember Edward talking about his cousin who lives in Oregon. She is a nature girl. She loves to hike and fish but she is so friendly and gorgeous, you'd never guess it. "It is nice to meet you too Nessie. I have heard a lot about you. I did not know you were coming."

Nessie doesn't say anything and I notice that her attention is elsewhere. I follow her gaze and see that she has locked eyes with Jake. Jake quickly makes his way to my side. "Hey Bella, Edward...great party....um...who is your friend here?" Jake stammers.

Edward sees what I am seeing and a grin crosses his face. We both know if there is anyone who would be good for Jake it would be Nessie. They have so much in common. "Jacob, I would like to introduce you to my cousin Nessie. Nessie, this is our friend Jacob. He lives on the LaPush Reservation."

They reach to shake hands and Jake brings Nessie's hand to his lips and kisses her knuckles. A blush appears on Nessie's face. I am glad I am not the only one who blushes. Next thing we know Nessie and Jake are out on the dance floor together gazing into each others eyes as they talk. They did not leave each other once for the rest of the night. Edward and I just giggle at the love connection we just witnessed and he puts his arm around me.

We head to the dance floor, swaying to the music, lost in each others embrace. The music changes and the song that comes on is the precise sentiment of our life at this moment. I smile at the fact that Edward and I actually start singing to each other.....

We were strangers
Starting out on a journey
Never dreaming
What we'd have to go through
Now here we are
And I'm suddenly standing
At the beginning with you

No one told me
I was going to find you
Unexpected
What you did to my heart
When I lost hope
You were there to remind me
This is the start

And...

Life is a road
And I want to keep going
Love is a river
I wanna keep flowing
Life is a road
Now and forever
Wonderful journey

I'll be there
When the world stops turning
I'll be there
When the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you

We were strangers
On a crazy adventure
Never dreaming
How our dreams would come true
Now here we stand
Unafraid of the future
At the beginning with you

And...

Life is a road
And I want to keep going
Love is a river
I wanna keep flowing
Life is a road
Now and forever
Wonderful journey

I'll be there
When the world stops turning
I'll be there
When the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you

I knew there was somebody somewhere
Like me alone in the dark
Now I know my dream will live on
I've been waiting so long
Nothing's gonna tear us apart

And...

Life is a road
And I want to keep going
Love is a river
I wanna keep flowing
Life is a road
Now and forever
Wonderful journey

I'll be there
When the world stops turning
I'll be there
When the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you

The song is so perfect for us. We were two halves that were missing something in our lives. It wasn't until we got together that we became whole. I didn't notice until after the song was over that I had tears falling down my face. Edward looks into my eyes as he brushes his hands across my cheeks capturing the salty water. "I love you Bella. You and I are blessed that we found our soulmate and we will face the future as one. This chapter of our lives may be over, but ohhh...the next chapter is going to be even better, I can feel it. You and me against the world." He leans in and kisses me and I can feel our breath become one as our tongues dance, and my heart soars at the future that lies ahead of us.
