Chapter 26

EPOV

Our Sophomore and Junior years fly by. The six of us have built a routine of school work, house chores and date nights. I continue to make damn sure that Bella and I spend time together. I will never let her feel insecure about our love again.

Alice is constantly in our face about wedding plans. Bella and I talked about it and decided to wait until we graduate to get married. That way we can concentrate on the wedding without being stressed with school and stuff. We will actually be able to enjoy the wedding itself. So many people have told us that their weddings flew by and that they did not remember a lot of it. I do not want that to happen to us. I have to admit though that I can't wait to marry Bella. I want to wear my wedding band. I want to show the world that I am taken and that I am hers.

The six of us are heading to Las Vegas for a week to celebrate another year of school down. We are staying at the Bellagio. Bella always wanted to see the water fountain show there and I want to give her everything she wants. We are sharing a 3 bedroom suite that overlooks the fountain. Bella doesn't know it yet and I cannot wait to see her reaction. We have tickets to see the Cirque de Sol show "Love". We all like the Beatles' music and I think the show will be fun.

Sitting here on the plane I cannot help but stare at the beauty next to me. She is looking out the window in awe, watching the landscape roll under us. Emmett and Rose are asleep. Alice and Jasper are watching a movie. I get lost in myself looking at Bella. She looks over to me and smiles. My breath hitches the moment our eyes meet. She is my dream come true.

She leans over to my ear. "Edward, I'm going to use the restroom."

"Okay love." I turn so she can leave our row. Once she is out in the aisle she leans over me. I have a perfect view of her tits hanging over my lap. I have a strong urge to bury my face in them.

"Edward" she croons in my ear. "Meet me in two minutes." She smirks and walks off to the bathroom. I am stunned and turned on all at the same time. I look around and smile as I see the first class flight attendant busy flirting with a passenger. I am glad she is occupied. I head to the bathroom door that Bella walked into and slip in quietly.

She wraps her arms around my neck. "Hello lover" she whispers before she kisses me. I am all kinds of hard right now. I lift her onto the edge of the sink and run my hands up her thighs. I wondered why she was wearing a skirt for a day of flying. My little vixen planned this all along. Fuck, that thought makes me even harder. I reach her core as she sucks on my neck. I quickly find that she doesn't have any panties on.

"Fuck Bella" I moan into her ear. I attack her pussy with fingers. She is so hot and wet I could explode right now. Fuck my girl is so hot.

"Edward, I want you now." She unbuttons my jeans and gasps as she finds that I am going commando too. I smirk at her when she gives me that innocent look. She grabs my dick from my pants and guides me exactly where I want to go. I bury myself inside of her ecstatic to be joined together. We both hold each other tighter, kissing to capture our usual cries. I pump into her hard and fast. She grabs my hair tightly in her sweet little hands as I wrap one of my hands in her hair while the other is wrapped around her body. I can feel her walls tightening around my shaft. Thank god because I cannot hold back much longer. We break our kiss momentarily to breathe but quickly attack each other again. We both bite each others neck to mask the screams as we climax.

We softly kiss each other as our bodies calm down. Both of our faces are flushed and we silently laugh. We straighten our clothes and fix our hair. After a quick kiss I let Bella leave first and then I sneak out. The only person who seems to catch us is Jasper. Alice is asleep on his shoulder and he just smiles at us. I give him a grin as I take my seat next to my love. I take her hand in mine and kiss the back of it. Neither one of us can wipe the smiles off our faces for the rest of the flight.

We have a car pick us up from the airport and take us to the hotel. The girls are all bouncing in their seats they are so excited. We pull in front of the hotel and the girls are in awe. This hotel really knows how to decorate. Bright colors are everywhere. Jasper and I check us in as the girls roam the inside garden area that is decorated for each season. Emmett wandered off into the casino. Not surprising at all.

After getting checked in, Jasper and I walk up to the girls and we head to our room. Rose sends a text to Emmett threatening his sex life if he doesn't get to the room pronto. We all just laugh when he comes running down the hallway minutes later. The suite is stunning. The girls roam taking it all in as us guys take the luggage to our rooms. Bella follows me into our room and stands at the window taking in the city around us. The sun is shining into the room and she just glows in the rays like an angel. She continues to take my breath away. I walk up behind Bella and put my arms around her. She melts into my embrace.

"What do you want to do today love?" I whisper in her ear before I kiss her neck.

"Mmmm Edward. We could stay here making love." She kisses me softly and all I want to do is take her to bed and never leave the room.

But at that very moment, Emmett bangs on the door. "Come on you bitches. Lady Luck is calling my name. We need to gooooo."

Bella and I laugh as we head to the main room. Rose is rolling her eyes at Emmett. He looks like Alice, bouncing around the room like a kid on Christmas morning. We set a game plan for the day and evening. We decide to take a walk up the strip, hit a few casinos, eat and see where we end up. I am not a big gambler and neither is Bella. But this is Vegas so we plan to gamble a little.

The six of us head out and stop at Caesars Palace. The place is beautiful. Roman statues and columns adorn the lobby and throughout the hotel. We eat lunch at Bobby Flay's restaurant Mesa Grill. It is fabulous. We play some games and roam around. We quickly lose Alice to the Forum shops. Jasper just gives us a look like he knew it was a matter of time and follows her into Carolina Herrera. Bella giggles as she pulls me along.

And then there were four.

The next stop is the Mirage. We walk the aquarium and revel at the bright corals and sea creatures that evoke the exotic beauty of tropical locations. I can't help but remember our vacation in the Bahamas and smile as I squeeze Bella's hand. She leans into my arms as she looks at all of the fish and the amazing waterfalls. We play some more games until Emmett squeals like a girl when we find the Secret Garden where they keep the lions and tigers. Rose and Bella head to the dolphins and are entranced watching them play. I love hearing Bella laugh as we watch their water aerobics.

We head to Treasure Island next. We arrive in time for the Sirens of TI show. The four of us are in awe of the pirate show and the acrobatics and music that it entails. Bella stands in front of me wrapped in my arms as we watch the show. We head inside and play a few games. I begin to take note that every casino we have gone into Bella looks around the slot machines and plays the same game. Texas Tea. I sit with her and watch her get so excited when the little armadillo dances with the cowboy. And when she hits the bonus round she lets me pick the areas of Texas looking for the best oil rigs. We have a great time laughing at the animation and noises of the game. She is so adorable when she giggles like a little kid when she wins and then pouts when she loses. I want to nibble on her lip every time she sticks it out pouting. Rose and Emmett are playing craps and don't want to leave so Bella and I head out together.

And then there were two.

We decide to head back towards our hotel and cross the street to the Palazzo. We shop a little in Barneys New York and Michael Kors before I sneak into Ice Jewelry while she looks at purses at Coach. I want to get Bella something to remind her of our trip to Vegas. I stop in my tracks when I see an incredible necklace that has two interlocking diamond hearts hanging from it. What is even better is that you can put charms inside the hearts. Perfect. I buy the necklace and have them add the letter B charm made of sapphires in one heart and an E of sapphires in the other. I was going for our birthstones but if I went with my birthstone for the E charm, it would be a pearl and they don't make the charm in pearls. So I am going to go with Bella's birthstone for my initial too. I think Bella will really love it.

I have the jewelry store wrap up the necklace and place it in a small bag that I hide in the bag from the items we bought at Barney's. I walk out of the store and head into Coach. Bella is checking out and I walk up to her and kiss her cheek before I help her with her bags.

We walk to the Venetian and Bella goes quiet looking at the little Italian city of Venice. Italy is one of the places we have discussed for our honeymoon. And I know now watching her reaction to this little replica that we ARE going to Italy. I have to take my Bella there. She would love it. We take a little ride on one of the gondolas that wind through the canals and famous landmarks. She rests her head on my shoulder and sighs.

"Bella love, are you having a good time so far?" I kiss her temple.

She nuzzles into the crook of my neck "Yes baby, I am. I am getting a little hungry though."

I smile as I help her from the gondola. "Well love, then let's get my girl some food shall we?"

She smiles and takes my hand. We walk to Harrah's Hotel and Casino. The atmosphere is New Orleans Mardi Gras and looks like one big party. We head to Toby Keith's I Love This Bar and Grill. One of our friends from up at college told us about it. We get there and laugh as we run into Alice and Jasper. It figures the Texas boy would find this place. The four of us sit at a booth and order our beer and food. Bella and Alice both look upset when the scantily clad waitress hits on me and Jasper. She reminds me of the Hooters girls. Small tops and small bottoms and all plastic.

When the waitress brings our food she blatantly ignores the girls again. Jasper and I give each other nods before we both turn to our girls and plant the biggest, loudest, wettest kiss on them. I don't care if we are making a spectacle of it, I want the trashy girl to understand that this is my woman and I want nothing else. Of course I get a little lost in Bella. I do every time we are together. Her mouth and tongue take over my body and I cannot get enough. Soon we break for air and she blushes a little when we notice the waitress is still standing there watching us with a look of flaming jealousy. But we just laugh and go on about our dinner. The floozy stops her flirting and we have a great dinner together.

We head toward our hotel again. We pass the Flamingo talking about how it reminds us of the old Las Vegas days since it is one of the older hotels on the strip. Imagine the days of Frank Sinatra and the mob really being front and center on the Vegas scene.

We stop in Bill's Gamblin' Hall and Saloon. This is totally Jasper. I swear if he had a cowboy hat with him he'd be wearing it in here. We laugh our asses off when we play War. Who would've thought that the card game of War would be a game in a casino? All I can think of is the movie National Lampoons Vegas Vacation when Clark and Eddie dig up the money in Eddie's yard and go to the makeshift casino where you guess the number that the guy is thinking or play heads or tails. Fuck that movie is funny. We bump into Rose and Emmett as they walk out of the restaurant. Looks like Emmett took part in the steak special. He loves his steak that is for sure.

The six of us hit the Paris hotel and casino. It is amazing seeing a replica of the Arc de Triomphe, the Louvre, the Paris Opera House and the 50 story, half scale replica of the Eiffel Tower. Bella and I were eyeing this place from our room's window. We go to the top of the tower. The city sparkles with all of the colorful lights in the darkness of night. I stand behind Bella holding her in my arms as we gaze over the city. Add another destination on my list because I want to take Bella to the real Paris one day. It would be so romantic.

"You ready to head over to our hotel Bella?" I whisper in her ear.

She nods and we walk over to the Bellagio. We stop at the fountains in the front. We watched a show or two in the day time but I know it will be even better at night. We stand as I hold her in front of me waiting for the next show to start. The tubes rise from the water and smoke rolls over the surface alerting us to the start of the new show. A soft melody starts and Celine Dion and Andrea Bocelli sing 'The Prayer'. It is so graceful and the lights and water dance so eloquently. I hold Bella tighter in my arms and breathe her in. Slowly we rock back forth to the music. I look down and see her eyes glassy with unshed tears until one falls down her cheek.

I lean her face towards me and kiss her tear from her perfect face. "Bella I love you." She looks up at me and smiles. She turns in my arms and wraps herself around me and rests her head on my chest. The song ends but we stay wrapped up in each other until the next song starts. This time it is Andrea and Sarah Brightman singing 'Time to Say Goodbye'. I swear they are trying to kill my girl with these romantic and emotional melodies. The third song is Faith Hill's 'This Kiss' and all three girls sing along to it. By the time the fourth song comes on, we are all singing along with Elvis. VIVA LAS VEGAS! We are laughing hard as we sing to each other and out into the night.

We head up to our suite and break out into our rooms. It has been a really long day between flying and walking the strip. Not to forget joining the Mile High Club, which I will remember forever. We wash up together and get ready for bed. I lay in the big fluffy bed thinking about the blessings that I have in my life. I am in an amazing town with such a grand history with the love of my existence. I just lay and revel in the phenomenal life that I have. Bella walks out of the bathroom and again, like every time before, my breath hitches at the sight of her. She is wearing a little tank top and panties and I just thank the lord above that she is mine. The overwhelming feeling to marry her hits me again. It has not escaped my attention that we are in a city littered with wedding chapels at every turn. I admit, when I looked online researching Vegas for our trip I spent some time wandering the wedding chapels. They range from really expensive to cheap as hell. From cheesy to utterly romantic. There are soooo many here. I really want to take her to one and get married. I think it would even be a hoot to get married with Elvis. What a story for our kids.

I lift the cover for her to crawl into the warm and feathery bed. She curls into my body and I wrap my limbs with hers. We gently kiss for a few moments before we fall into a peaceful sleep.

A/N: So, how am I doing? Please let me know your thoughts…
