My relief was short-lived, however, when our group started to make our way down the pier towards the hotel. Much to my horror.

I noticed how happy and laid back everyone had become after a few drinks. Possibly a little too laid back.

Some even walked with a pep in their step.

"Last night!" Lauren chanted as she practically skipped towards the check-in office.

"Ah, make it count, fellas!" Tyler called as he pulled her in the direction of one of the rooms, dangling the keys at her, amused.

"Let's go big tonight!" Jessica called excitedly.

"In bed! Whoo!" Mike cheered as they went in a different direction.

Jacob smiled as Tanya smiled at him, while they too slowly began walking in a different direction. "I love you, girl!" Jake suddenly exclaimed, before disappearing completely from out sight.

Edward and I scoffed at their antics, slowly making our way up the small paved road leading to the hotel.

"Giddy up! Giddy up! Come on!" Jake called as he rushed the direction of their room with Tanya on his back, clinging to his back, while giggling.

As we reached our room, Edward quickly unlocked the door, opening it before stepping aside to let me in.

"Good night." Alice called, amused.

"Night." I called back with an eye roll.

"Have fun in the honeymoon suite!" Tyler called, teasingly.

I suppress the need to flip him off, instead opting to walk fully into the room, flipping the night switch while hearing Edward's friends continue to holler and catcall at us.

He chuckled in response, before following me inside the room, and closing the door behind himself.

"Nice one." I whispered amused as I dropped my bag.

Edward looked around confused, before turning to me, apologetically. "Huh. I… I asked for two beds." He told me.

"Mm-hmm." I mumbled, "Sure." I replied, sardonically as I looked around the room.

"I'm sure you did." I whispered, turning away.

He chuckled, rolling his eyes at me, "All right, 'cause, what? Y-you think I'm into you?" He asked in the same tone.

"Maybe a little." I replied, teasingly, as I set my bag down on the dresser, before turning to look back at him. "Just breathe, dude." I told him, amused by the idea.

"Well, cause I'm not." He replied, defensively.

I smiled, as I kicked off my shoes, "All I know is you're a hot mess." I told him with a sigh, as I flexed and unflexed my sore toes and feet.

"What's that supposed to mean?" He asked me offended.

"I don't know, because a normal person would just admit that they're scared." I said plainly.

"I'm not scared." He told me, as I gave him a disbelieving look. "I'm not scared." He repeated, defensively.

I rolled my eyes, turning away to look for something in my bag. "Okay then, what's with the tough guy act? You're bossing me around, telling me to sit down." I scoff.

"Please stop." He quietly told me, tiredly.

"I can't do this. I'm not doing this. This was a big mistake." I whispered, busying myself with my bag.

I heard him draw in a deep breath, before he replied, "You're right."

My hands halt in their search through my bag, as I hear him speak again. "I am scared." He added quietly in the same defeated tone he had used a few days ago.

I turned to look at him concerned, to find him practically having a panic attack.

He sighed, as he mindlessly began to twist his ring. "Between the marriage and Iraq, I'm kind of losing it." He finally said.

Shit. He was scared. I knew all this macho, angry shit was all an act. Yet seeing him practically come undone in front of me wasn't easy to see. Telling 'I told you so' wasn't going to help him either.

I wanted to help him. But how could I when all I had done was get under his skin?

I struggled to come up with the right words, yet my mind failed to produce anything helpful.

"Uh… I'm sorry." I whispered as I slowly made my way over and sat next to him on the bed.

Slowly, and hesitantly I reached over and placed my hand on his knee.m squeezing it. "Hey, you'd be absolutely crazy if you weren't. That was really brave." I told him.

He turned to give me a look, and suddenly all we could do was stare at each other. The room seemed to disappear into the background as we stared at each other.

His eyes suddenly flickered to my lips before he looked at my eyes again, before he slowly leaned towards me.

The air between us began to change. I felt a weird feeling begin to form in the pit of my stomach.

Without another word I leaned forward, pressing my lips to his, as he sighed.

As the kiss began to turn heated, I slowly pulled away.

"Edward, we— we can't." I whispered, as he pressed his forehead to mine.

"You're right. We shouldn't." He mumbled before getting up and making this way towards the bathroom.

I sighed and stood up too, taking a deep breath as I heard him undo his belt buckle and begin unbuttoning his jacket.

The tension between us only seemed to increase, making the room feel smaller than it truly was.

'Come on, Bella, this is his last night here. Are you really going to act like a bitch to him? He needs you… Help him.. relieve stress.' My inner bitch sassed, smirking at me.

I sighed and slowly began to unzip my dress allowing it to pool at my feet as he turned around.

He slowly made his way back to me. "Is this okay?" He asked me.

I nodded, "Yes." I whispered.

"Are you sure?" He whispered.

I bit my lip, but he slowly reaches up and pulls it out from under my teeth.

"I need to hear you say it in words, princess." He mumbled, as his green eyes scanned me hungrily.

"I'm sure." I whispered.

He nodded, pressing his forehead to mine again before he pressed his lips to mine.

I slid my hands up his torso, up into his shoulders, locking my wrists together as he walked me backwards towards the bed.

Without breaking the kiss he slowly helped me lower myself onto the bed before he pulled away.

I pulled myself up slightly, leaning back on my elbows as I frowned and raised a brow at him.

His eyes bore into mine as he pulled the white t-shirt over his head and threw it over his shoulders, before undoing his pants and shoving them down his large muscular legs. Kicking his shoes and socks before climbing to the bed.

Without hesitation he lowered his lips back to mine. Laying me back slowly as his hands slid up my arms, until his hands reached mine.

He interlaced our fingers as his lips began to make a trail down the side of my neck slowly making his way down my body causing me to gasp as his lips and tongue trailed.

I could hear a small groan that emanated from his throat as he continued to make his way down my body.

His hands began to roam as I arched off the bed as his lips kissed my ankles.

A gasp left my lips as his hand parted my legs, before his hands slid up and down my legs and wrapped around my thighs. He pulled me towards him causing me to fall back as he curled his fingers around the back of my knees and wrapped my legs around his waist.

"Are you sure about this?" He whispered as his body hovered over mine.

I nodded before I felt him reach down and yank his briefs down.

I gasped as I felt his fingers rub against my already clit causing him to groan and me to mewl.

A second later, I feel his hips move slowly to keep rubbing himself against my clit.

"Are you sure about this?" He asked me one last time.

"Yes." I whispered.

Without a moment of hesitation, I feel as he aligns himself to me, and his hips snap forward.

The burning sensation is almost too much for me as I feel him slowly begin to move forward. I gasp in pain as I look down in between us to see where we are both connected. He's only half way in.

Holy—! Woah!

"You alright, princess?" He asks.

I bite my lip and nod as he groans and snaps his hips forward again.

The burning sensation increases to a painful capacity before it slowly disappears as he bottoms out.

I gasp as the sensation of being stretched and full to the brim.

He immediately stops moving, allowing me to get used to his size before the pain turns pleasurable.

His fingers slowly make their way down to my clit as he begins to jerk his hips forward slowly.

I gasp at the sensation, "Oh god." As my legs began to shake.

His hand kept my leg close to his hip as he moved repeatedly forward, slamming into me and hitting that one spot that caused me to see stars, as his lips attached themselves to my neck.

My nails graze his back, as I hold onto him for dear life. Eyes rolling to the back of my head as the room begins to fill with the groans of the bed springs. Our mouths connect before he begins to move faster.

A moment later, the room fills with sinful noises, his groans and my whimpers.

I could feel myself inching closer as his head dropped to the cork of my neck.

I almost jumped in surprise as I felt his tongue lick the side of my neck as he groaned into my ear. "Oh fuck baby, your so fucking tight…" he whispers.

"Ughnnn." I babbled.

"Tell me you're mine." He groaned as his hand wrapped painfully around my hip.

"Fuck..! Y—yours!" I gasped arching off the bed as I felt my climax hit me like a ton of bricks.

I felt as he started to come hard as I did, our orgasms slowly coming out as we laid there spent.

"Mine." He said breathlessly as he kissed my lips and slowly moved off of me.

"Yours." I mumbled half consciously.

I heard as he went to the bathroom and came back with a small towel, and helped me clean up before he slid into bed behind me.

The last thing I feel is his arm wrap around my waist as he pulls me close to his body as we fall asleep.

When I woke up the next morning, he had already showered and was waiting for me to get up.

I groaned softly, reaching for my phone to check the time.

"How long have you been up?" I asked, groggily.

"Since three am. I went for a run." He informed me.

I laughed, "You went for a run at three in the morning?" I asked as I sat up, keeping the sheets wrapped around me.

"I couldn't sleep." He told me, as he finished picking up the clothes from around the room.

"What?" I asked, as my eyes widened as I pulled on the shirt he placed on the foot of the bed for me.

"You heard me. I couldn't…. I couldn't sleep. So, I went for a run. That's what I do." He told me as he turned away, not willing to look me in the eye.

I sighed as my chest flared with disappointment.

"So you're that guy?" I asked, with a sigh. "Pretend-it-didn't-happen guy."

"I don't know what you want from me. I have a lot on my mind." He quietly told me, turning to look at me.

I let out a laugh in disbelief. "Okay." I whispered, looking away as I pushed down my feelings.

"We've got to go to deployment. So, I'll take you to base." He finally said.

I nodded as I got out of bed and grabbed my bag. "Great."

I wordlessly made my way into the bathroom, showered and changed.

When I got out he had already packed our bags and was sitting down on the bed waiting for me as I got out.

I wordlessly pulled out a pair of socks, and slipped my black boots on, before stuffing my clothes inside and zipping the bag closed.

"You ready?" He asked me.

I nodded, as I picked up my bag and pushed past him to go to my car.

I wordlessly unlocked the doors before throwing the bag into the back seat.

He placed the bag into the back next to mine before getting into the passenger's seat.

The drive to Camp Pendleton was tense, I refused to look in his direction, even when he asked me a question.

As we slowly arrived at the entrance, my eyes scanned our surroundings.

"I've lived in Oceanside for most of my life and I've never been on base." I commented, amused.

He gave me a small smile in return as we moved past the security gate.

As we drove through the base, my eyes widened as I curiously took in everything that was past the gate.

Helicopters, military grade vehicles, and other forms of transportation.

Men in various types of uniforms walking, running, and doing other activities.

When we arrived at the correct building, he sighed and got out, moving around the front to open my door before leading me into the building.

The process was straightforward. We filled out the correct forms, had our pictures taken.

Once the process was over and I was handed the I.D and I suddenly felt a small shift in my life.

As exited the building he led me to the buses.

They were still being loaded, but I could see all the Marines gathered with their families next to the massive buses. From somewhere near us I could hear a helicopter hovering.

I wasn't prepared for the sight as we finally approached the location. There were women crying and holding onto their sons, husbands, brothers and boyfriends alike. Children crying and holding onto them as well.

I froze for a second before feeling Edward's hand inclose over mine. Pulling me along with him as he moved in the direction of his company.

I looked around, feeling my heart squeeze as I saw Jacob with his little brother Seth, and his parents hugging each other.

Lauren was crying hysterically as Tyler held and kissed her. "Don't leave me." She wailed.

"It's going to be okay. I gotta go." He told her, kissing her again before letting her go and getting on the bus.

As we arrived, he bent down to pull something out of his backpack, handing it to me.

"Hey, Bella, if anything happens to me, you're my next of kin, okay?" Edward told me, as he pressed a piece of paper into my hand. "You can call my brother. Tell him about our deal. You'll have to make up a story for my parents. But please, my dad cannot know about this. All right?"

"Okay." I whispered, as I looked down at the paper, realizing it was a name and address of his brother.

"Lance Corporal Masen, congratulations." A man said as he saw us.

Edward looked over and nodded, stepping closer to me.

As the man walked away, he spoke again. "Remember, from here on out, we're being watched, all right? Emails, video calls, everything." He warned me.

I nodded, biting my lip again.

He sighed before leaning in to kiss me, as he pulled away he leaned down to grab his bag from the ground, and nodded one last time.

"NCOs, move those men. Let's go!" A man yelled.

The engines of the buses suddenly began to hum.

As Edward stood by the entrance he turned to give me one last look. I waved my hand one last time as he nodded in response and climbed on.

Mike was leaning out the window, giving me a solemn look, before he smiled. "Hey guys, one more time for the newlyweds!"

Tyler smiled, "Hey! Come on, girl!" He called.

As he, Mike, and Jacob rushed out of the bus and towards me.

"Come on, one last one." Tyler said as they did.

"Pick her up." Mike said as they cheered.

"Kiss your bride!" Jacob said.

I gasped and Tyler picked me up and placed me on his shoulder as they moved to the window where Edward was sitting.

Edward stood up, smiling amused, "I'm sorry." He whispered as he leaned in.

I nodded as I held on nervous to Tyler's shirt.

"Kiss! Kiss! Kiss! Kiss! Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!

Kiss!" They cheered.

I looked down as Jacobs cheered along with them.

"Come on, get in there, Ed!" Tyler called.

"Kiss! Kiss!" All the bus cheered and whistled.

Edward leaned out the window as I leaned towards him hesitantly, before he leaned out more.

Our lips met once more, in a fervent kiss

His hand touched my hips, squeezing lightly, as his other hand touched my face.

My hand touched his face as well, and he groaned.

"Be safe." I whispered as we looked into each other's eyes.

Cheering and applause surrounded us for a few seconds.

"That's your last one for a long time." Tyler said as they helped me down.

"Okay." Jacob chuckled.

"All right, love birds. Let's go. Let's move it." Another guy said.

As they all went back on, Jacob handed me my bag with a grin.

"Take care of yourself, okay?" I told him, as I pulled him into a hug.

"I want a hit record when I come back, all right?" He told me.

I nodded, "Yep. Just for you." I replied with a grin.

He nodded before moving to get on the bus.

"Bravo Company, on the bus! Let's move!" Someone called.

As the bus doors closed, I sighed and slowly stepped back.

As I did, a woman smiled, "Congratulations." She told me.

"Thanks." I whispered with a smile.

Edward turned to give me one last look, as I looked back with a worried smile, holding tightly onto my bag.

As the buses slowly began to pull away, Tanya slowly made her way towards me and wrapped her arm around mine.

"This doesn't even feel real." She whispered, as she dried her tears.

"Be safe." I whispered as they disappeared from view.

Author's Note:

So, the next part is going to be a bit difficult to write because of what happens in the movie.

I'm still debating on whether or not I want any character deaths. So, I'm putting it to a vote. Should there be any deaths? Leave a review... And no, it can't be Tyler.
