EPOV - chapter 9

I watched her carefully, feeling my breath move in and out from my body and hoping that I had heard her correctly.

Affection...for me?

It was almost too much to hope for.

"But, Miss Swan, you told me once that I was the last man on earth to whom you would consider marriage." I reminded her, taking no pride in the statement, but rather to be sure she meant that she'd had the change of heart.

"I realize this, and please know I said that out of hurt and anger only. The truth lies in those emotions. I felt everything I had that day because I have so much feeling for you. I should have known better than to speak before thinking and to say such harsh words when they were the complete opposite of how my heart felt... and feels. To put it simply, you make me feel alive Mr. Cullen; every moment without you feels empty and every second you hands or lips are not touching me, I crave them. And I have never felt anything similar; neither, I dare say, will I ever from any other man, nor would I want to."

I sighed, sitting up from my chair and moving toward her. "And this...is truly want you wish?"

"I wish to love you openly, without fear or secrecy. And I wish for you to love me just as ardently." Miss Swan said, her voice merely a whisper above the hum of my regenerated heart.

I sat beside her, my knee grazing hers. "And...have I not made such a declaration? Do you not know by now how I feel about you?" She was so close. So. Close.

"Only in written text; I have not heard the words outside of the day at my sister's wedding."

I sighed, reaching over to gather her face in my hands. "Then let me impress upon you Miss Swan, that I love you very much. So much that I have not been able to think of anything but you in recent memory, nor have I had the desire to suppress the emotion. I love you, Bella. I love you."

She smiled as she leaned forward, her breathing labored and her eyes glowing. "I love you Mr. Cullen... Edward." She smiled broadly. "My Edward."

I grinned at her in the dim light, running my thumbs along her cheeks and feeling the warmth of her skin. So perfect. "Always."

I sat closer to her, brushing my lips hesitantly to hers and was pleased when I saw them part. "Oh, Bella." I murmured, pushing forward to press my lips more soundly than before. It was perfect, putting the first and second to shame and blazing the way for the next. It was at the point where I couldn't fathom kissing anyone besides Miss Swan-Bella.

My Bella.

My hands immediately dropped from her face to her waist, keeping her close to me. I loved the feeling of her body pressed to mine; the way her fingers pushed into my hair and the way she would moan against me.

Perfection.

Right.

Need.

Love.

Everything I found in her kiss. It was vital.

"We should stop." I whispered, pulling away minutely so as to refill my lungs. "Should we continue, I might not be able to stop."

"Please touch me Edward... please."

I leaned in, kissing her neck; the long, smooth column that I'd dreamt of. "That...is what you wish?"

She sighed, tilting her head to the side to make room for me. "I wish to give you all of me." She explained breathlessly.

"Everything?" I whispered, pulling away to look at her. "Are you sure?"

She blushed instantly, looking away but not quickly enough for me to miss the look of rejection and embarrassment on her face. "I have embarassed you, haven't I? I have been too forward and improper..."

I pulled her closer, pressing my lower half into her so that she could at least feel what she'd done to me and kissed her roughly. "I want you; More than anything."

She gasped, her eyes going wide before they slid shut. "Then have me. Please, that is what I wish."

I didn't answer. Instead I picked her up and carried her, down the hall and to my bedroom. I laid her down on the bed, then moved on top her of and returning my lips to hers. "You're so beautiful." I whispered, kissing down her neck to where her cleavage spilled over the top of her dress. "So sweet," I murmured as I moved back to her collar bone, sucking on it slightly. "And you will always be mine."

I kissed her roughly again, then sat up quickly undoing the buttons on my coat and tossing it aside, followed by my waist coat and shirt. Now that she was here, I wanted to waste none of this time. Bella sat up, turning away from me and brushing her hair to the side, revealing the long line of buttons down her back.

Clearly, I'd have my work to be done.

I leaned in, plucking each of the buttons from it's whole and following the trail with my lips. If it were possible, the skin on her back was even more delectable than that of her face and neck. Once I was finished, She pulled the garment away which left her in only a thin chemise.

I panted at the sight of her, bare to me despite the gossamer fabric.

I leaned back down, cupping her face again. "You shall always be mine. I should never love any woman, except you."

BPOV

I blushed at his words and smiled softly. "Nor I, you." I whispered, leaning in to kiss him. His lips trailed down my face and neck, leaving open mouthed kisses in their wake. His tongue darted out, sucking softly on my shoulder as his nimble fingers pried the thin straps of my chemise down my shoulders. I felt my body shiver at the intimacy of the moment and couldn't hold back the whimper that escaped my lips. He moved slowly, inching us to the foot of the bed, and lifting us up so we both stood. My dress and puddled immediately at my feet, while my thin undershirt bunched at the top of my hips. His mouth moved slowly, taking a path down my shoulder to my clavical and down the valley of my breasts, stopping only to unhitch the brassier I wore. I felt moreso than heard the sharp intake of his breath as my breasts became fully exposed to him.

The blush that he had previously only seen on the apples of my cheeks quickly spread south to my chest.

"You are simply divine Bella." He murmured, as his lips continued their descent. They met the side of my left breast and I let out an eager moan. I felt his grin against the supple flesh and they slid across, wrapping firmly around my already taut nipple. "Oh, Edward..." I panted, feeling him roll it between his teeth. I arched my back involuntarily craving more of him. I would never get enough.

His mouth pulled away with a quiet 'pop', slowly gliding to my other breast and mimicking the ministration. My hands flew to his hair, gripping it tightly as I continued to mewl against him. He spent ages teasing my breasts, getting to know them, kissing the undersides and swirling his tongue around the areolas.

The place I needed him most was soaking for him, and getting wetter by the moment. His mouth eventually moved lower, once again leaving damp, open mouth kisses against my skin. He moved slowly against my stomach, dipping his tongue into my navel and sucking softly. I moaned at the feel of his slick tongue at the same time his hands slid from my hips up to fist the loose fabric of my chemise. At last, I felt the cool fabric slid up my body, his mouth blazing the trail as they moved upward on my torso, breaking away for only a brief moment to slide the fabric off my body once and for all.

His mouth attacked mine hungrily as if it had been years since they had met. Meanwhile, his hands had returned to their place, gripping my hips forcefully and pulling me against his strained trousers, pushing me into his member.

My hands hesitantly moved from his hair and down the strong planes of his chest, causing him to grown in my mouth - spurring me on. I inched my fingertips down to the small patch of hair that led to the top of his belt.

I blindly wrestled with the piece of leather, unlatching it and pulling it away. "God Bella... Bella.." he panted against my lips, pressing his nose against mine as we gasped for air before he captured my lips in another breathless kiss.

My fingers slid the buttons of his pants through their holes, and slowly dragged his zipper down. Both of us groaned as my hand brushed against his throbbing erection. His mouth moved down to my neck and began viciously sucking and nipping at it as I pushed his slacks and underpants down in one slow and trembling motion.

Hi erection audibly flopped back against his abdomen as the pieces of cloth dropped to the ground and his teeth sunk deeper against my flushed skin as I wrapped my hand around his length.

"Bella... ungh... Bella..." He moaned at the attention my hand was giving him. "Edward..." I sighed in the same tone. As I moved my hand up and down against his velvety erection I couldn't help but wonder how all of him was supposed to fit inside all of me.

I didn't have a moment to overthink the situation though, as his lips took mine ravenously. His grip lessened on my hips and he curled his fingertips under the top of my own undergarment, the last article of clothing dividing us. He slid it down at an agonizingly slow pace, his tongue searching out mine and moving just as slowly.

By now our bodies were slick with sweat and anticipation. "Please..." I begged against his lips quietly. He nodded shallowly, turning us around so the back of his knees were hitting the foot of the cherry oak bedframe. He stepped back, kneeling onto the bed. I followed, kneeling as well. My lips now, were the ones to pull back and slid down the firmness of his jaw. I nipped and sucked on it just as I had spent so many nights dreaming about. He groaned, splaying his hands flat on my lower back, slowly moving down to my buttocks and palming it roughly.

My mouth continued its downward movement. I poked my tongue out to taste the column of his neck and he tilted his chin up as I nipped at his bobbing Adam's apple. My mouth continued it's own exploration of hot, open mouthed kisses along his shoulder and down his chest.

"Bella... Bella, my love." He panted repeatedly. My hands in the meantime had decided to begin to explore the sleek muscles of his strong back. I grinned, amused and even wetter for him as I kissed just above the furry forest of his pubic hair and saw his cock twitch. My lips trailed back up his lean body, finding his lips once more.

"You're perfect." I whispered as I pulled back just enough to breath.

"You are, my darling. My beautiful and perfect Bella." He replied, his voice thick with lust.

Our eyes focused on each others' and I felt my pulse begin to thump even faster.

Without saying a word we both knew.

He lifted me up by my bottom and I spread my legs so that they rested on either side of him.

My head tossed back instinctively as I felt the tip of him brush against my clitoris.

"Edward.." I gasped.

He leaned his head forward, sucking on the curve of my neck. "Slowly Bella..."

I did as he advised and he helped guide me onto his erection.

I felt my walls contract and he breathed against my neck, "relax Love, please relax."

Once again, I complied and took a breath as he thrusted himself through my barrier and I pushed my face into his shoulder, biting him roughly - causing him to growl.

We sat there for a moment as I adjusted to the invasion. Once the pain began to dull I started rocking against him. His hands remained on my backside as he guided me up and down his shaft in slow, delibrate strokes.

I lifted my head, my mouth dropping as I whimpered and moaned in his ear. His mouth fastened to my neck, panting through his nostrils as he tasted the beads of sweat that formed against my skin.

We were chest to chest, as physically close as any two persons could be and the notion spurred me on.

We were dripping with sweat and yet, we didn't speed up, we didn't seek release. We reveled and basked in the perfection of us becoming one, and feeling what we had so long hoped to find.

One of his hands circled around my hips, and dipped lower. "Bella... you feel... words cannot express. The warmth, the tightness, the wholeness I feel, being inside you." He murmured, as his lips hovered over my shoulder. His lips left a wet kiss against the skin there, and I felt his thumb push against where I ached to have him touch.

I moaned for him and began moving ever so slightly faster. My nails raked against his glistening back and dug in as I felt the coil tighten in the pit of my stomach.

"Edward... Edward... Edward..." I panted as he pushed his thumb harder, circling around my swollen nub faster. I whimpered, my mouth dropping as I moaned his name and the coil in my lower abdomen released; the quiet wales of pleasure and panting that escaped me were involuntary and a testament to his ability to pleasure me beyond my wildest dreams. I felt him twitch almost immediately inside me; his hand holding my hip still as he let go and gave me everything.
