Disclaimer: I do not own twilight. If I did dogs would have slept in doghouses and not in sleeping bags and definitely not beside Bella in a tent.
I opened my eyes and saw that it was almost midday. I blushed thinking about the previous night and how we explored each other. I touched my tender lips remembering how we kissed passionately for what seemed like hours.
My body broke into goosebumps as I thought about him surrounding me both inside and out. The night was just so beautiful that I didn't want it to end.
I was brought back from my thoughts by Edward's fingers caressing my body. I expected him to be happy but his eyes said a different story.
"What happened" I asked getting anxious.
That is when he showed me the bruises that I had on my body. No matter how much I tried telling him, he did not believe that I was not hurt. I desperately wanted him to read my mind.
Suddenly the bubble was around us. I was scared that we were in danger but soon realized that it was not the case. It came because I desperately wished for it.
No matter what the reasons were I was thankful that it came as Edward understood that I was not hurt and see my happiness.
I did not want him to be unhappy especially after last night and also small part of me knew that he would never touch me again if he thought that he hurt me.
When I sat up I saw the mess in our room. The entire room was filled with feathers and the headboard was in pieces. When I asked Edward about it he looked like he could be blushing he was still human.
"Well love just be thankful that I bit the pillow instead of you." now it was my turn to blush.
I stood in front of the mirror to examine my body. There were bruises all over but it did not hurt. In fact they felt like reminders of the beautiful night we shared. I laughed thinking if a normal person heard my thoughts they would think that I was becoming a masochist.
Suddenly Edward's arms were around me. He ran his fingers over my bruises and kissed each one of them softly. I shivered as his hands touched me. The mirror definitely contributing to the feeling of lust that filled me.
"Edward…" I whispered.
Suddenly he lifted me in his arms and laid me on the bed. This time everything was different. I was not nervous as I was the previous night. I was also much bolder.
I lifted his tee-shirt and ran my hands on his broad chest making him moan. We took our time learning each other.
He was making me feel things which I never felt before. His ice cold body brought a new feeling when it touched my hot one.
I was so consumed by the sensations that he awoke in my body that I forgot my own name.
There was something different about us as we joined. Our connection felt much stronger than before.
At last when I lay panting in his arms I felt like the luckiest girl in the world.
After what felt like hours we got out of the bed. Edward made me breakfast which I ate happily.
The entire remaining day we sat in the beach talking and kissing just like any other couple.
The next day we decided to go hiking. Well Edward did the hiking part while I was on his back munching on the cut fruits that Edward packed for me.
The forest was so beautiful with different colored flowers adoring the trees. As Edward was going slowly I was able to take in everything properly.
Soon we reached a waterfall. The water was really cold but that didn't stop us from taking a dip. As I was about get out Edward pulled me back towards him making me shiver with anticipation.
I forgot the cold water as we made love in the water for hours.
The remaining four days passed much the same way. Edward was more in control and was not scared of hurting me anymore.
As the day of returning came nearer I became more emotional. I cried when we got into the boat to return to main land making Edward really concerned.
"It is ok love. We will come back soon."
"I love you Edward. I am sorry for ruining our journey."
"It's ok love. I will miss staying here too."
Back at the castle we were greeted with great enthusiasm. Alice was bouncing all over the place excited that we were back.
"I missed you both so much" she said hugging us.
She was followed by rest of the Cullens. Emmett, as usually made me blush with his innuendos.
After the hugs Peter approached welcoming us back. He also informed us that the same day we were going to hold the court for the first time as their king and queen.
So after taking a quick shower we got ready and walked to the court. A large number of people were waiting for us already. They were more in number than what I anticipated.
"Long live the king and queen" was heard all around the room as we entered.
Edward took my hand in his as we walked towards the large throne. As we sat on it he put his hand around my waist.
Since it was our first day in the court we discussed the vampire laws. As I knew before there were only two major one. Not to let humans know about the existence of vampires and not to create immortal children.
I thought the rules were fair enough. It would create chaos in human world if they knew about the existence of vampires and immortal children were simply too dangerous. It was also not fair to them- frozen forever at such tender age.
After what felt like hours we were back in our room. I was beyond exhausted but since we would be returning for Forks soon I could not bring myself to sleep either. So after a short nap Edward took me to explore our private garden.
It was very beautiful as the first day I saw it.
"It's so beautiful here. I wish we could stay forever."
"I would like the same love but I don't think Charlie will appreciate it very much."
I laughed when I thought about the reaction on my father's face if he found that his daughter decided to live in another country with her seventeen year old boyfriend.
We walked hand in hand enjoying the beauty of everything. As we sat on the bench Edward took my face in his and kissed me.
"Edward what is going to happen when we return to forks? I know my dad loves me but I don't think he will take kindly that his eighteen year daughter got married to a boy from her school.
We also cannot explain why your family supported us. The only thing we can do is to keep our marriage a secret."
"You are right love. I discussed this with the rest of the family when you were taking the nap. They say the same thing. Though I would like to shout to everyone that you are my wife I think this will be most logical thing to do."
I laid my head on his shoulders as we sat on the bench.
"There is something else I need to discuss with you love. Now that we are the rulers we still have to fulfill our duties when we are back in Forks. There is also the fact that they insist on extra security for us."
"Security?"
"Yes love. They are not ready to leave us unprotected. Don't worry I have already discussed with them. They will disguise themselves as civilians so that no one will doubt.'
"But Edward, Forks is a small town where everyone knows everyone. Won't they grow suspicious if so many people come to the town all at once?"
"Don't worry love. They will handle everything. We don't need to worry about anything." He said kissing my forehead.
"Do you think they will follow us everywhere like we see in the movies?"
"I am afraid so love." He said with an amused smile.
We sat there discussing for hours how we were going to manage our old life with the new one.
"I am thinking assigning Jasper the charge of the army."
"Army? We have an army?" I asked surprised.
"Of cause we do love. We are the rulers remember. But it's not like the old armies we see in period films. They are much more like James bond types."
"Wow."
"So as I was saying Jasper could be in charge of the army, the guards and overall security. I think I will put Emmett in charge of training them. What do you think love?"
"I think it will be a good idea. I am sure they will enjoy it. I think Carlisle will be good as an advisor. Besides he has experience in handling these things when he was with the Volturi. I think Rosalie will be great at training too especially female ones as I am sure the males will be too busy ogling her."
We both laughed at the picture.
"Don't worry love. She is my sister. No one will dare to look at her like that and disrespect me."
"You are right."
"Now Alice and Esme. I think we will put them in charge of administration and recruit. What do you say?"
"I think they will enjoy it but don't you think they will enjoy much more if we give them charge of all the things related to interior designing, clothing much more feminine stuff like that. Hell they could remodel the entire castle if they want."
"You are right love they will enjoy it but I want them to be involved in the more important stuff like security and recruits as well. Of course they can do inter designing and all as their hobby. What do you think love?"
"You are right. I did not think about it like that. So we have jobs for every one of them."
Our family was more than happy with our decision. Emmett and Jasper were ecstatic that they need not endure high school any more. But we reminded them that it was necessary to keep the charade.
Rosalie was thrilled that she could use her skills at full potential while training others and also because she got an outlet for her anger towards the drooling high school boys.
Esme and Alice were also very happy with the new responsibilities. Carlisle seemed happy to take on his role as the advisor.
Our decision was announced in the court and was greeted by applause from everyone. They seemed happy that we were all involved and that we were taking our responsibilities seriously.
Soon our time in the castle was over as it was time for returning to Forks.
Our return journey was very much different from when we arrived. It was almost comical how people mistook us for celebrities when large handsome men who were our guards surrounded us as we walked into the airport.
I was even feeling like one with so many people to protect me. Then Edward reminded me that I was their queen which was definitely better than being a celebrity.
The thing that touched me most was their devotion to us. They worshipped the ground we walked. They trusted as more than anything. I was sure if we told them to die they would do it with whole heart. The fact alone made me decide to take my responsibility as their queen very seriously.
I was concerned about their accommodation but Esme and Alice told me that they had already build quarters for them in the property that Cullens owned somewhere in the woods while we were on our honeymoon.
I was surprised how they did it in such a short time. Then again they were vampires with no sleep and super human powers.
The next thing that I was concerned was their diet but Edward assured me that they decided to go with animal blood since they realized their king was doing it. It was also decided that they will go to other states to feed to keep the population of animals from declining.
All in all everything was good to go. Then I thought about my father who had no idea what was going on his only daughter's life. I felt bad that he only knew a part of me. He saw me as the shy clumsy girl and never in his wildest dreams thought her to be the queen of the vampire world.
As we about to reach our destination I put my wedding band and engagement ring in the small chain that Alice gave me when I was engaged. I was sad to remove it from my fingers but knew that it was necessary.
The minute the plane touched down the guards were surrounding us again. The flight attendants were so intimated by the gorgeous vampires that I was sure they were going to pass out soon.
Two female vampires Kebi and Tia were my personal maids which made me really uncomfortable. I was not used to having maids. But I was relieved that they seemed really nice and not arrogant.
As we drove to my house the guards insisted that they come along. Their voice held so sincerity and devotion that we could not say no.
Edward stopped them from getting down when we reached my house as Charlie was peeking through the window.
I was an emotional wreck when I got down from the car. I did not want to leave Edward. The distress that I usually felt was doubled this time. I think it was because of the new physical intimacy that we shared.
I wanted to just go with Edward. Why was I putting myself in this position? He was my husband physically, emotionally and legally. It was not a sin to live with your husband.
I knew that my logical side was pushed back in the corner and the rebellious side was winning. Edward sensing this pulled me closer.
"I will be in your room as soon as I assign the guards their duties. See you soon Mrs. Cullen." He said giving me a kiss.
I walked into the house with a heavy heart but knew I had to play the role of a happy girl in front of Charlie and that was what I did.
"I missed you dad" I said hugging him which was true. I did miss him very much.
We talked about my trip. I told him everything that I have come up with Alice on our journey back to tell Charlie.
After saying bye to him as he was going to the station I went to my room. As I opened the door I was surprise to find a room that was completely different from when I left.
My bed had expensive satin sheets and fluffy pillows. My books were arranged neatly which I was sure was not the way I left it and in place of my old computer sat a brand new one. My window had heavy curtains which looked very expensive.
Before I could think about anything Kebi and Tia stepped out of my closet.
"We arranged everything in your room so that you will be more comfortable your majesty."
I didn't know what to say. I didn't even know they were going to be here. I just shook my head thinking how my life changed. I even had maids to make me comfortable!
"Thanks but Please guys call me Bella." I said with a smile.
"Oh no my majesty. You are our queen and our god. We cannot disrespect you."
I sighed knowing that they would never call me Bella. I will be always be their queen no matter how much I wanted them to treat me like an ordinary girl.
"Would you like something to eat my queen?" Tia asked.
"Not right now. I will have to cook something later for Charlie anyway."
They looked horrified and I didn't know why.
"We will cook for you your majesty. You just tell us what you want to eat." Kebi said.
They seemed in verge of breakdown thinking about me cooking. I didn't understand why. Did Emmett tell them that I was a bad cook? I laughed at my own joke.
"It's not a big deal guys. I cook every day."
"Please your majesty. You are our queen. You should not cook. We are here to do that for you. Please let us do our job."
I sighed again but agreed.
They then took my suitcase and unpacked. They hung all my clothes neatly in the closet. They did not even allow me to touch anything. It was weird for me to allow others to do things for me.
My whole life I was the one taking care of others and here I was sitting looking at two extremely devoted maids taking care of me. My Maids- oh god even the name sounded weird.
I was brought back from my thoughts by a knock on my window. Soon Kebi was opening the window for my husband. I felt happiness spread as I thought of the word 'husband'. Yes he was my husband.
"Your majesty we will be downstairs starting the dinner." Saying that Kebi and Tia left.
Edward just raised his eyebrow at me asking me what that was about.
"Don't ask. They definitely take their duties seriously."
"Wow your room looks so different."
"Tell me about it. I don't know what I am going to tell Charlie when he finds out that my room's curtains cost more than his monthly salary."
"Come here love." He said pulling me close to him. I was calmed instantly.
We laid in my bed silently till I heard Charlie's cruiser pulling in the drive way. I momentarily panicked thinking about Kebi and Tia but Edward assured me that they were outside keeping an eye on the surroundings along with the other guards. That is when I realized that there were other guards outside.
"Just be glad you were not the one climbing the window while the guards stood below ready to catch if you fall."
I laughed for a good ten minutes imagining the scene.
As I walked downstairs I was completely astonished. Our house looked spotless. They must have cleaned. There were even flowers in vases around the house. Not to mention brand new curtains.
My eyes nearly bugged out when I saw three course dinner complete with setting as we see in five star hotels ready for us.
"Wow Bella. I did not know our dinner was so elaborate." Charlie said as he came into the room.
I just smiled not knowing what else to say.
The whole dinner went with Charlie complimenting me for my cooking skills with each bite he took. I was actually feeling guilty for taking the compliments for someone else's work.
"You cleaned the house too. Those curtains look really expensive." He said as I was taking the plates.
I didn't know what to say so I told him they were a gift from Esme. In the kitchen were Kebi and Tia already in the middle of cleaning.
I was not sure how they got their undetected. Then again they were vampires.
I was glad Charlie decided to turn in early. I ran upstairs as soon as his door closed. To my relief Edward was already there pulling me close to him.
"I have as surprise for you." Edward said as I climbed into the bed.
"I don't think I can take any more surprises Edward. The surprises that my life is throwing at me are more than enough." I said pulling him to me.
"I think you will love this one love." He said kissing my neck.
"Not tonight Mr. Cullen."
" Bella…"
"I want you very badly." I whispered nibbling on his earlobe.
"Charlie…" he started saying but I silenced him with another kiss.
"You know what that means?" I asked.
"hmm?
"Silence is golden." With that I pulled him along with me as I laid in the bed.
Soon his hands were all over me and we lost ourselves in each other.
