I DON'T OWN ANYTHING TWILIGHT RELATED.
MY HEART IS FOREVER YOURS.
Chapter Twenty-Two.
Emmett's POV.
"Kiss me."
The growl that escaped my lips at her request as undeniably animalistic and filled with all the passion I had for this woman. Slowly, I lowered my lips to her neck, placing slowly, and sensual kisses along it. It was our first kiss and I wanted it to be one to remember, one that would help me forget my woes, to make me forget Rosalie, to make her forget Edward and the threats on her life. All I wanted now in this moment was for us to be Isabella and Emmett, two people who were madly in love.
Moaning, Isabella melted into my chest and the man in me basked in the feel of her body pressed into mine. Slowly, one of my arms disentangled from her waist and was now slowly yet torturous moving to her arms and softly grabbed her wrist. Gently, I lifted her palm and kissed it followed by each of her fingers. Locking my eyes with hers, I wrapped her arm around my neck and led her over to our bed.
Gently, I lowered both of us down to the bed with her lying beneath me. Instantly she wrapped both of her tiny hands around my neck. I closed my eyes at this sensation. I never knew this feeling. I have never basked in it and have definitely never been the one to have this feeling returned onto them.
Love.
Do we even know the depth and true meaning of such a powerful emotion?
Foolishly, I had thought throughout my marriage to Rosalie that I was foolish in love but that was not so. I took a human; a frail, fragile and quite breakage human to show me this. I never loved Rosalie. I lusted for her; nothing more nothing less.
Yes, to the world we were soul mates but to her and to me we were only in this relationship for sex. We never had conversations with any essences to it. We never opened up to each other. I only knew about her life through Carlisle. However that was not the case with shy Isabella. No, she required; no, demanded that I tell her about my life and she openly told me about hers.
"Emmett," she moaned and twisted under me.
Smiling slightly, I peppered her face with kisses which earned me several giggles.
After she settled again, I leaned into the crock of her neck and inhaled deeply committing her scent to memory. I felt her fingers begin to pass through my hair as she soothed me. I had no idea why until I heard my own broken sobs. The emotions that had been locked in me finally broke through the dam I built.
"Emmett, shh, my angel………..shh." her voiced reached me calming me instantly.
"Isabella, I need you to listen to me. I need you to understand that I have never felt this way about anyone; not even Rosalie. In my human life my father would tell me that there would come a day in your life where you only desire one thing and that is the touch of your wife, the woman who you would love with all your being and to this woman you would happily give everything for."
"I never knew the meaning of that statement until today. Never have I been broken this way; not when I heard of Rosalie's betrayal; not even when I became a single man. I broke because of the love I have for you. Isabella I need you like the air I breathe. I know that Edward told you that you were his life but he never meant it. I do Isabella. You are my life now. I cannot live without you. If you ever left me, I don't…………." I broke off as the horror over took my body yet again.
"Emmett………….." She began with tears of her own falling from her eyes.
"No Isabella……..please no. My love does not deserve to see you in such pain. I can never and will never hurt you." I soothed as I wiped away her tears.
Slowly I pressed my body to hers once again and looked myself with her eyes to become lost in the brown swirls that would forever mesmerize and keep me captive.
Still in my trance, I made the one declaration that would forever seal our fates and banish all else.
"I love you Isabella. Above all reason and against all odds, you, Miss Isabella Marie Swan Cullen, now hold my life in your hands. My heart is forever yours."
And with that I crashed my lips to hers.
