2brown-eyes rocks!
Cullen Corp's stocks have stopped tumbling with the news (that you heard here first!) of the Cullen heir's marriage, though they've yet to rise.
The world waits with bated breath to see if she'll become a true Cullen, or if she's simply a plot to steal the throne.
When I know, so shall you!

"I'm still astounded at how Gianna was able to do something so stunning on such short notice." I marvel at the room as my husband swoops me around it in his arms. "Where did she even get this many flowers?"
Edward's breath blows hot against my skin as he speaks. "The room doesn't compare to my view."
Heat flushes up my chest and neck and fills my cheeks with warmth. I'm unable to look up into the intense green gaze that is beating down on me.
"You don't have to say those things," I whisper, my throat tight with emotion. "I've already committed myself to you and this crazy plan."
We slow to the point where we're barely moving, and Edward tilts my chin up with a gentle finger under my chin. "I'm not a man who says things he doesn't mean," he rasps, his voice coarse and gravelly. "And tonight, you've made me a very happy man."
I blink, damn tears blurring my eyes. "I'm sure your company will thrive under your leadership."
"Fuck the company, Bella," he snaps, the curse word causing a ripple of want to skate down my spine. "This ring on my finger means more than the position of CEO of Cullen Corp. It means that I'm now a family man in a way I've never been before, and I'm ready to explore that, honor it, discover that part of myself, and I'm eager to do all of that with you, Mrs. Cullen."
"How did I get so lucky?" I gaze into his eyes, searching for the answer in his complicated mind. "A man like you could have any woman on the planet."
"Yet, here you are," he says on a laugh. He spins me in a jovial semi-circle, and I feel like I'm flying. "I'm not sure what it is exactly, but there's something about you that tells me my heart is safe in your capable hands."
"That's some serious trust, Mr. Cullen." My lips twitch as I tease him. "I sure hope I can live up to those high standards."
His arm that's around my back tightens, pulling me flush against his firm body. "I have no doubt you'll exceed at the challenge, Bella Cullen."
My stomach soars much like the rest of me as he spins me around the room. I spot Rose huddled in the corner with Lauren and Jessica from the makeup team, champagne in their hands and gossip on their lips. Their eyes are trained on Emmett, who's swaying Gianna on the dance floor.
The room, in general, is filled with random people Edward found and invited to fulfill my every wedding wish—not that there ever was one.
If there had been, this would be close.
"How much longer should we stay?" Edward murmurs in my ear.
I don't dare react, afraid to assume. "Where would we go?"
It's a whispered question, but when his lips ghost my ear, I know that he's heard me. "The honeymoon suite."
My feet stop moving, nerves erupting like a volcano in my stomach as I pull back to stare into his eyes. "We're seriously doing this?"
His brows furrow. "Do you have objections?"
"I … I don't know." I take a step back so my head will be clear when I make this decision. "Shouldn't we see where things go or something?"
"Of course." He reaches for me.
I take another step back. "I can't think when you're touching me."
He stops advancing, and a beautifully sculpted smirk settles on his chiseled face. "That sounds promising."
"For you." I chuckle nervously.
"Bella," he says gently, holding out his hand. "I'd never push you into something you weren't one-hundred-fifty percent ready for."
I take a deep breath and push it out, realizing how utterly ridiculous I sound. This is Edward Cullen. A man who can have any woman in this room.
He's my husband.
And he wants me.
I put my shaky hand in his. "I trust you."
It's getting hot in here, so take off all your clothes…
Loved all your Vegas musings… I'm actually using it as a way to check off The Grand Canyon on my list of places to see. Cheaper to fly into Vegas and the West Rim is only a 2 hour drive. I also am planning a couple days in Vegas as well… any must-dos?
Love, Love, Love all your reviews!
See ya tmr :)
