*ALL CHARACTERS BELONG TO THE LOVELY STEPHENIE MEYERS
September
Bella POV
I couldn't believe my eyes when I turned around. My Edward was on one knee with a ring box in hand. He looked like he might throw up, but he seemed very confident. "Bella the day you moved to port angeles, my life changed for the better. You have brought so much light to my life and my soul. You have very quickly become, my best friend, my lover and my whole world. You also brought me my son, who I love so deeply and I don't know what I would do without the two of you."
I couldn't hold back my tears any longer, they flowed freely down my cheeks, falling onto my dress. He presented me with a beautiful ring, it was sliver and quite big, but very sophisticated, there was a big emerald diamond in the middle surrounded by tons of smaller diamonds. It was breathtakingly beautiful "Isabella Swan, I promise to love you every moment forever. Would you do me the extraordinary honor of marrying me?" Ever so carefully I dropped down on my knees in front of Edward and throwing my arms around his neck and squeezing probably way too tight, but I couldn't help it, I was so happy!
"Oh Edward! Yes! A thousand, millions times yes! Yes, yes, yes!" His lips instantly sought out mine, giving me a hot kiss. I finally pushed him back some wanting to get a better look at the ring. "Oh Edward! I promise to love you forever, I don't want a long engagement!" He chuckled.
"That was going to be my only request darling. I'm so ready to be your husband" Edward stood up and offered me his hand to help me stand up. As soon as I was up on my feet, he hand his arms wrapped around me pulling me close to him. Keeping one arm wrapped around my waist and reached up with his free hand cupped my cheek and pulled my lips to his.
He started out the kiss slow. But soon his tongue was tracing my lips asking for entry, which I gladly granted. His tongue curled around mine, like he was making love to my mouth. He had me panting when he pulled back, a sweet smile on his face. "I love you so much baby, have you had a nice birthday?" I nodded.
"This has been the best birthday to date!" I couldn't help but kiss him again and again. I was getting to marry my best friend! I didn't think this would ever happen for me, not after James. But here we are. Happy and in love!
We walked through the rest of the gardens, stopping to give each other hugs and kisses, both feeling high off love and affection. I was very much ready to get him home, but we still had a dinner to get through! We came to the end of the gardens and headed back to the Volvo. Edward opened my door for me and even reached in and buckled my seatbelt for me. "Babe" I sighed. Eyeing him as he straightened his body. He just chuckled and softly closed my door, walking over to his side.
"Does Tulio's sound alright for dinner?" My eyes widened as I scoffed. "Edward! That place is so nice and you have to have a reservation, just to get inside" He smiled. "Are you doubting my ways, Miss Swan?" He raised an eyebrow, wearing that sexy smirk on his face. "I...umm-..no I'm...just drive Edward" I felt flustered when he looked at me like that! And he knows it. I could see the smile playing on his lips that just wanted to shine through.
We pulled up to. Tulio's and Edward pulled up to the valet parking and put the car in park, quickly jumping out and handed the valet boy his keys and a wad of cash. Before he came around to my side, opening my door for me. "Careful with your leg baby" Edward reached out a hand in my direction, offering to help me out of the car. I gladly took his offer with zero whining. My leg was starting to feel a little sore and I was definitely feeling very thankful that dinner was a sitting event.
Edward looped my arm through his, purposely placing my left hand on top of his arm so my ring could be in view. I smiled at his actions, a little bit in awe over my ring! All of the diamond shined in the moonlight for all to see. "Do you like your ring love" I looked up at Edward, giving him a big smile. "Oh Edward it's just so beautiful! I love it"
He squeezed the hand gripping his arm, giving me that crooked smirk. "I am so glad you like it, Bella" We walked up to the hostess table and the young lady gave us both a soft smile. "Welcome to Tulio's, can I have the name for your reservation please"
"Of course, it's under Cullen" She glances down at her tablet, her fingers tapping away. "Perfect! Right this way Mr and Mrs Cullen" Edward smirked at me, but I was so confused. "Your usual Table Mr Cullen. I will go and fetch you the wine list" Edward just nodded, pulling my chair out for me. The hostess scurried away, going to fetch the wine list.
"Edward I am so confused, how did you make this happen?" I sit down, glad to be off my bum leg. Edward pushed my chair in and sit down in his. "My parents are frequent customers here, so much that they have a standing reservation here for every Friday. They kindly let us take their table tonight"
"Do they know what was going to happen?"
"No baby, only your father and Alice knows what's going on. But I'm sure everyone else had an idea of what was going on" I smiled, he had put a lot of work into this night and I felt like a true princess. "Thank you, Edward. Tonight has been a dream come true, I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you" Leaning over he kissing me quickly before pulling back as the waiter came over. "Hello, my name is Liam and I will be your waiter tonight. I have the wine list here, but can I get you two a glass of water while you decide?" Edward nodded, taking the list out of his hand and pointing it towards me.
The waiter rushed off and I shrugged my shoulders at Edward. "You know me and what I like. I have no clue what any of these names are, but I assume you do" Edward nodded, his fingers tracing over the names on the page and explaining a few to me. I didn't have any idea what he was talking about, but I nodded and smiled at him. He decided on one called Quinta Das Carvalhas and he seemed very excited about it. All I understood was that it is a red wine and goes well with lots of things. I also took the advantage to order me a coke, Edward didn't seem surprised by it at all. Just smiled at the waiter and said he was fine with the water and wine.
Our waiter also left us with our menus. The first thing I noticed, was that a chicken Caesar salad was 15 and that was the cheapest things on the menu, besides the bread rolls which were free with your meal. "I know what you are doing Bella. Stop looking at the prices and just find what you want or I will pick for you" Edward's voice cut through my inner battle and I looked up at him with a sheepish expression. "Sorry honey! But seriously 15 dollars for a salad is insanity!" Edward chuckled softly, shaking his head.
"But yet you will spend 35 dollars on that fancy cheese you like so much! You also drive forty minutes out just to get the damn cheese" I let out a very loud laugh, making the couple a few tables over look at me with a sneer on their face, that just made me laugh a little bit harder. "Sorry! But you're not wrong, I guess I didn't think about it that way, but it definitely makes sense!"
"See! I mean the cheese is good and all, but I don't know if it's worth almost forty dollars, Bella!" I rolled my eyes. It was amazing cheese! I only buy it when I have Alice over and we have wine and make a fancy charcuterie board! Edward just doesn't understand. Jim and Jasper just turn on the tv and open up a case of beers. Sometimes they spring for Chinese takeaway. I will never understand their guys night, just like they will never understand our girls night.
"Would you mind, actually just ordering for me? You know what I like and I honestly don't understand anything on this menu!" Edward leaned over and pressed a kiss to my cheek. "I would love too, baby. Does lamb sound alright? That's what I was planning on getting" I nodded with a smile. Sometimes it's just easier to let your boyfriend handle- wait no. Sometimes it's easier to let your fiancé handle it.
"Lamb sounds very good! I did spot mashed potatoes as a side and you know how I love mashed potatoes." Edward laughed, he looked back over at the menu, I'm sure trying to find his own side, that's what I thought till he spoke up again. "Baby, it comes with two sides, you might want to pick another my love"
"Oh thanks for letting me know" picking up my menu again, I scanned over my options, before deciding on fresh steamed vegetables. I informed Edward on what I wanted, more than content to let him order for me. Our waiter soon came back to our table holding an ice bucket with a bottle of wine and a basket of different breads. After he set it down, he immediately picked up the wine bottle, popping it open and pouring two glasses.
"Are the two of you ready to order" My eyes set on Edward, who nodded. "Yes, I would like the lamb with a baked potato fully loaded and the steamed vegetables. And my fiancé would like the same, only with mashed potatoes" My face flushed red hearing that word leave his mouth for the first time. "Sounds lovey sir, can I get you two anything else" Edward glanced down at the menu, nodding his head before saying. "Yes we will like the fried calamari please" Edward handed our waiter our menus and he rushed off to put our orders in.
"I've never tried calamari before! What does it taste like, Edward?"
"I think you will like it! It is not very fishy at all, it is actually a little sweet and a bit chewy, but this place has amazing calamari and it just melts in your mouth, plus their signature sauce will rock your word!" Edward winked at me. Making me giggle. "I know something else, that rocks my world" Edward actually blushed something fierce, looking away from me as he picked up his wine glass and took large gulps from the glass finishing it quickly.
I giggled at him, reaching forward I grabbed the wine bottle and refilled his glass for him. It's not like we haven't been intimate before, but it's been awhile and I'm sure he is just as nervous as I am right about now. It has been three months since we have been together. I now have all these new scars on my body, from the accident, I feel like, I look like a puzzle with missing pieces. Pair that with the stretch marks I have from having Masen and I'm starting to look like Freddy Krueger!
Not wanting to focus on that right now, I started eating some of the bread as did Edward. We had a wonderful time, we talked about Masen and how he was doing in school and pretty much just talking about how simply amazing he is. We talked about our future wedding plans, tossing out random colors ideas and venue options. We were not sure when we wanted to get married, but we knew that it wasn't going to be a very long wait, we have already been together for a year now, maybe our second anniversary we could get married. Who knows, we have time to decide all that.
Our meal was delicious! I wasn't sure if I was going to enjoy the lamb, but it was delicious and I will definitely be trying that again! It actually made me want to learn how to make it at home! Edward seemed to really enjoy it too. The mashed potatoes were made with a double cream and it was to die for!! I don't know how they did it, but it was hands down the best mashed potatoes I have ever had before.
Once we were all done eating, Edward said he had a few more things to do before we went home. I wasn't sure what he had up his sleeve tonight, but I was very excited to find out. Edward paid our bill, being careful to not let me see the damage we did on this meal. We had managed to finish off the bottle of wine. We as in me. I think Edward only had his two glasses and I had polished off the bottle. At this point I was more than a little tipsy as I leaned heavily against Edward.
We were outside waiting on the valet to come back with the Volvo. It was now the middle of September and there was a quite a chill in the air and I had not fully prepared for this. But Edward had, he had a sport jacket on over his dark green button down, he looked so handsome and oh so warm! Turing my body, I stood in front of Edward and put my arms around his sides making sure keep my arms under his coat.
I was right. He was very, very warm and he smelled sooo good! I took a deep breath in and snuggled up closer to him. Edward's arms wound around my waist pulling me even closer. "Better now?" He asked me. Keeping my face smushed against his chest I just nodded, making hims chuckled, I could actually feel the vibrations on my cheek as he did so. I would have stayed here in his arms all night, but I heard the valet calling Edward's name to come and get the car.
With a kiss to the top of my head, Edward unwrapped my arms from his waist and shrugged off his jacket, putting it around my shoulders. "Alice might have this fashion sense, but the girl never thinks to check the weather!" I mean, he wasn't wrong!!
Edward treated me like Masen, making sure I got into my seat alright and was buckled up, before giving me a kiss and closing my door. I wasn't even sure if he noticed that he did this, it's like it has become a habit now. He will always make sure we are both safe in the car before he worries about getting himself situated. I found it sorta sweet, that he cared so much for us, always worried about his family and that was one of the main things that made me fall in love with this, wonderful man!
Soon we were off into the Seattle traffic and I was once again clueless as to where we were headed, but I was warm and my tummy was full and I needed to nap off some of this wine, so while he drove I leaned my head back and closed my eyes, letting the soft classical music smooth me. Edward was more then fine with me getting a little rest, I know he was more then a little worried about us having this date night, he has been concerned that I will over do it or hurt myself, winding up back in the hospital. I don't think that would happen, but I didn't mind having the extra rest, I could tell my body needed it right now.
My little nap did not last very long. I soon felt Edwards hand caressing my cheek trying to rouse me from sleep. "We were baby. If you are too tired we can turn around and go home, just say the word" I hooked my head, stretching the best I could trying to wake up some. "No! I want you see what you have planned for us, Edward. It was the wine, I feel better after my nap!" Edward squinted. Eyeing me over, trying to figure out if I was telling the whole truth or not. "I promise babe" I rolled my eyes at him and opened my door. "You coming or not, slow poke!"
I found myself standing in front of the Seattle opera theater and a huge sign stating that tonight that we're putting on a play and the play just happened to be my favorite movie pride and prejudice. "Edward!" I gasped. I didn't even know this was a thing! "Are you happy with this?" He asked me.
"Are you kidding! I am ecstatic, Edward. Thank you so much for bringing us here" I threw my arms around his neck pulling him down for a kiss. I don't even know how he has managed to pull all this off, but it has been the best night of my life and I will remember it forever and ever! "You're so welcome princess, come on let's get you inside!"
the show was beautiful and amazing! The actors and actress played all the parts so well. It was more based off the book then the movie and I thought it was even better then the movies. I could have sit through it three more times, but I was ready to get home. My body was starting to feel very achy, meaning my bed was calling out to me.
By the time we pulled into our driveway, it was well past midnight and I felt terrible for keeping Esme up so late. I knew we should have just let Masen stay the night at their house. But seeing this ring on my finger, I have a feeling, I know why, Esme wanted to watch him here and not at their house.
"I'm kinda nervous! You think she will be happy for us?" Edward scoffed, rolling his green eyes. "Bella, she has been up my ass for a year about marry you. So yes I think she's going to be ecstatic for us"
"You're right, I'm just being silly and I'm tired" Edward frowned, his face settling back to worry again. I reached up and smoothed the wrinkles on his forehead. "Stop worrying so much, I'm fine baby. I'm here and I might be a little broken, but I'm alright" He leaned forward, roughly pressing his lips against mine, kissing me with so much intensity that I was beginning to wake up again. I tangled my fingers in the soft hair at the nap of his neck, allowing me to pull him even closer to me.
"I've missed this" Edwards voice was just a whisper against my lips. Pulling back, his lips were puffy and his face was flushed, even in the darkness of the car, I could see the rising bulge in his pants, I bit my lip looking up at him. "God, you're so beautiful" He almost moaned, before devouring my lips once again. I wanted to jump into his lap, my just leaning over the console was starting to hurt my ribs, but I really didn't want to stop this wonderful kiss.
Edward almost sensing my discomfort, leaned over even more, allowing me to pull back some, so my side wasn't jammed against the console anymore. I didn't want to ever stop kissing him, but when my lungs started to burn because I needed to breathe, I finally pulled back, breathing heavily against his lips. "We really should go inside, but I'm starting to really like being in the car" I giggled at Edward's statement, leaning forward I pressed one more kiss onto those sweet lips and popped down the little mirror to make sure I wasn't looking too flustered.
Closing my mirror, I looked over to find, Edward was staring at me, his eyes were glossy, still dark green from our mini make out session. He was beautiful. The moonlight seemed to make his pale skin glow, his lips were still pink and puffy, I could even see the shining of my lip gloss that had wiped off my lips and on to his. "God Bella, I just don't know how, I got so lucky" He leaned over and kissed my cheek, before turning around and getting out of the car.
Edward immediately jogged over to my door, opening it for me. I took his out stretched hand in mind, taking his help to ensure i didn't slip and fall. That's the last thing we needed right now. Edward locked up the car after getting our leftovers from the backseat and Masen little chocolate treat we picked up for him on the way home. We also brought Esme back a little treat to say thanks for watching our son tonight.
"I'm sure my mother is ready to pounce, I think she had her suspicions on what tonight might have been" Edward announced as he unlocked our door. I couldn't help but chuckle at what he said, seeing as I was thinking the same thing just a moment ago. Opening the door the house was not only completely silent, it was also spotless. Esme had taken this time to deep clean, how she managed to find the time is beyond me, but I'm so incredibly thankful that she did.
The main part of the house was dark, aside from the small light of the lamp in the living room and the flickering of a candle burning on the kitchen counter. Masen's door was just barely cracked opened, the soft rain sounds were coming from the room, letting me know he must have been fall asleep by now. Surprisingly Esme was asleep on the sofa. With a blanket covering her, her head was tilted back against the couch, she looked quite uncomfortable and I felt terrible for having her stay up this late. She should've just got in our bed or even cuddled with Masen, he has a full size, so there is more than enough room.
Edward so sweetly lead me over to the arm chair and help me sit down, making sure I was comfortable, before talking over to his mother and gently shaking her shoulder. "Hey Ma, we're home now" He whispered, but got no response. He patted her shoulders and called her name louder. But only got a single sigh from Esme. Going back to shaking her shoulders he called her name once again and quite loudly too. This time she jumped, a loud gasp left her mouth as she stared at Edward, clearly very startled by her wake up call.
"Oh Edward! You just about gave me a heart attack son. Just a simple mom would have woken me up" Edward just rolled his eyes, knowing very well that a simple mom does not suffice any longer. "Whatever you say, mom" he winked. "You know you could have went to our bed or even Masen's bed if you were so tired. I tried to tell you we would be out late tonight"
"I know Edward. If I am being honest, I was not planning on falling asleep. I sit down to watch a movie after Masen fell asleep and then you were waking me up!" I smiled at her. Masen was not a difficult child, he listened well and was happy to do just about anything. But he was all boy. He's a bit wild and can be bouncing off the walls at one second and the next he sitting quietly playing with his toys. I was used to this by now, but I know it can be quite exhausting for other people who are certain not used to his behavior.
Esme has watched Masen for years and knows him quite well. But he has a different type of energy now that he's in school. He has to be calm and focused while he's there, so once's he's home, he wants to talk tons and to be running around and playing outside. He's had his fill of sitting down and quietly playing legos. He's ready to have fun, so no wonder Esme is so tired. He is a rambunctious little boy after all.
"Well sorry to have kept you up so late, Ma. Do you think you can drive home or do you need to stay?" Esme smiled, a faint blush covered her cheeks. What on earth was going through her mind. "I think, I shall be alright Edward. I believe you two have some celebrating to do" Her green eyes sparkled as they found the ring placed on my left hand. So that's what caused the blushing, huh? "Come Bella, let me have a look at it" Esme stood from the sofa as I stood from my chair.
I held out my hand for Esme to see the ring. Edward reached over and flipped on the living room light. "I used the diamonds from Nonna's ring. Me and Masen, we designed it together, I did add a few newer diamonds to give it a better shine" I smiled at him, my sweet Edward had out done himself with this ring, it was just beautiful.
"Oh Edward, I'm glad so glad you didn't give her Nonna's actual ring. That thing was God ugly and not at all Bella. But this is just beautiful and perfect for your future wife" Esme leaned forward and kissed my cheeks, before repeating her actions on Edward's cheek. "Congratulations to the both of you. I can see a long and happy marriage ahead for you two." I could definitely see the same thing. Our future was going to be beautiful and I wouldn't want to do it with anyone other than my Edward.
Edwards POV
Tonight felt like a dream, each and every second since the moment I got home and saw her dressed up so beautifully, looking like pure sin standing before me. If I'm being honest I am fully expecting to wake up in the morning and this all has been a dream. It doesn't seem real that, Bella actually agreed to be my wife! We were really going to get married, I get to love her for the rest of our lives, see her talking towards me in a nice white dress, getting to see her stomach grow perfectly round with my babies. I wanted it all, and I wanted it with Bella.
It was wonderful getting to watch Bella and my mother gush over wedding ideas. We both knew that our engagement wouldn't last long, we were both ready to be married. I really wanted to get us a home together. Somewhere we could start our lives together and a house that we could pick out and decide which we liked with each other. This little house is not bad, but it's small and I want to give her a home. Maybe some place in a nice school district, both for Bella and Masen. A pool in the backyard perhaps. I want to give them everything I possibly can. Everything they could ever want.
At almost one in the morning, Mom couldn't stop the yawns leaving her mouth and declaring it was time for her to go home. It was already so late, my dad should be getting home from work soon, so at least someone would be up to make sure she got in alright.
We said our goodbyes and followed her out onto the porch so we could make sure she got to her car safely. I stood behind Bella with my arms around her belly and my chin resting on the top of her head. She fit so perfectly in my arms, like she was made to be right here in this very spot. We swayed together from side to side. Enjoy the evening breeze.
I knew Bella wanted to make love tonight. But I'm not going to lie, I am scared shit less to be intimate with her again. Now don't get me wrong, I want to be with her again of course! I've been dreaming constantly of being buried deep inside her. The glorious warmth and wetness drew me in like no other, there is truly no where better. But she was just so broken after the accident, looked like a fragile glass doll lying in that hospital bed, unconscious for weeks on end. What if I grab her to harshly and I hurt one of her ribs, or one of her scars open up, they're still so fresh and pink, I feel like I could just hurt her and that's the last thing I ever wanted to do. But at the same time, she needed this. She needed to feel the closeness that only I could provide her with. And I honestly needed it too. I needed Bella. More than I needed air to breathe.
My mother's Mercedes had long pulled out of the driveway by now. But the weather was perfect and I was more than happy to stay here with my beautiful girl under the stars. I feel like I have barely got to hold her since she's been home, I have definitely missed it. I moved my head down to her neck, having to crouch my knees some to actually reach. Little shorty pants. My nose traced the column of her neck, breathing in her delicious scent. "You smell so good, princess" She really did, like strawberries and Freesia. It was intoxicating. "Mmmm" She practically moaned, clearly enjoying my attention.
Started at her ear I traced it with my tongue. I bit down on her ear lobe before sucking on it to ease the sting. She gasped, her hands clutched at my arm, her dark red nails biting into my skin. All I could smell was Bella, all I could hear was her soft pants and quiet moans in my ears. I was completely lost in her, drowning in those big brown eyes and I never wanted to catch my breath.
I pressed wet kisses up and down her neck, before I gave up my decision to not leave a mark and sucked roughly on her skin. I could feel her heart beating pounding against my tongue. "Edward.." She whimpered. One hand traced up my arm till her hand was tangled in my hair, pulling me so that my lips on hers. I didn't hesitate, leaning in I devoured her lips like a man dying from thirst. Bella tried pushing her tongue into my mouth, but I wasn't having that right now, I pulled back slightly and bit down on her bottom lip, making her gasp into my mouth. I took the opportunity and pushed my tongue back into her mouth, wrapping it around her own.
A loud dog barking seemed to snap us both from our trance as we jumped back. Realizing that we were still standing on our front porch, giving our neighbors quite the show. "Hahaha, Oh Edward you should've seen your face!" Bella leaned over, her hands clutching her stomach as she laughed harder than I have heard in a long time. "You...You looked so shocked" *More giggles* "like someone poured a... a gallon of ice cold water on you" I could stop the smile that covered my face as she laughed at me. She was just so beautiful, especially here in the moon light with her lips still red and puffy from my kisses.
I reached forward and pulled her flushed against me. "You are such a tease Miss Swan! Laughing at me for trying to protect your dignity, your honor" I puffed out my chest, acting all big and tough. Bella laughed harder at my words or maybe my actions. I could listen to her laughing and her giggles all night long, but I was desperate to hear some of my other favorite noises.
Keeping her safely tucked inside my arms I lead her inside and together we locked the door and Bella let me go, walking over to blow out the candle my mother had lit. I grasped her hand in mine once she reached my side. I needed to be touching her in someway. We walked past Masen's room, stopping to peek inside at our boy. He had his covers pushed off himself and tangled around his legs. But he kept his baby blanket pressed against his face and Teddy was clutched in his arm. Teddy's neck was becoming quite floppy after years of being cuddled, but I knew it should last him a few more years of enjoyment before it was time to put Teddy away for safe keeping.
Bella fixed his covers and pulled them back up over his shoulders. Leaning down she placed a kiss to his forehead and whispered something in his ear. Even in his sleep he shifted closer to Bella, his mouth twitching with a smile. No boy ever loved their mother, as much as Masen loved Bella. Their bond is so strong, they faced so many tough things together, practically having to grow up together too.
I couched down and brushed my lips over Masen's head, breathing in the smell of his baby shampoo. I will dread the day he stops using that soap, it will just show how fast he is growing up. "I love you so much Mase, goodnight buddy" I whispered too him, the smile on his face grew as he whispered back. "I love you, mommy. I love you, daddy" Bella smiled up at me, her eyes shining brightly in this dark room. You could see the love for us pouring out of her every pore. I hope she knew I loved her just as much.
With one final look at Masen. I take her hand in mind again, pulling her out of the room and down the hall to our bedroom. Letting go of her hand, she walked over to the dresser and began taking her jewelry off. I shut and locked our door, I knew I would open it again before we fell asleep, I didn't want to risk not hearing Masen if he needed us.
Untucking my shirt from my pants I walked over to Bella, wrapping my arms around her waist and pulling her against me. My lips found her neck one again. I kissed and nipped at her smooth skin, she smelled so good, so deliciously good. I could taste the faint fragrance of her lotion on my tongue and it was intoxicating. I wanted to breathe her in. Remember each and everything about her and never forget it. This women was going to be my wife. Mrs. Isabella Cullen. Beautiful.
Without a word, I turned her around to face me and crushed my lips against her, desperate to kiss her again, to taste her. She was soo sweet. Bella's hands found their way to her favorite spot at the nape of my neck, her fingers brushing over the short hair there. I'm not sure why she loved that particular spot, but she did, she said the hair was baby soft and she could run her fingers through it all day long. You definitely wouldn't see me complaining about it, that's for damn sure.
Keeping her lips sealed onto mine, I walked her backwards, till the back of her knees hit our bed and she fell back, with a soft thump against the sheets. She giggled, her arms reaching out for me. But I shook my head no, picking up her right leg, I kissed my way from her knee down to her heeled covered foot. It was a short heel, just so it would give her a bit of height, but not mess with the walking boot.
Taking her shoe off, I tossed it to the floor, letting my thumb massage the arch of her foot. "Ohhh, that feels wonderful" She moaned. I continued my actions to her foot, but I brought my lips to her red painted toes and brushed the back of them against my lips, before kissing each one. "Baby.." Her breathless moan, made all the blood rush straight to my cock, as it became painfully hard against the zipper of my slacks.
I suckled on her big toe, biting on it playfully, making her moans turn to giggles. My eyes turned to her walking boot, the sight of it made my heart twist in pain. The day we found her she was so bloody and bruised from head to toe. You could barely see where one bruise started and the other ended. I don't want to hurt her. I cannot hurt her.
"Bella, baby. I want you so badly, but you must tell me if anything starts to feel even the slightest bit uncomfortable. We can't have anything happening to you again" I couldn't handle it. Bella frantically nodded her head yes, her arms reaching out again. "I promise, Edward. Just please...Please touch me again" I wouldn't ever deny her anything, I would give her the whole world.
Pulling her up by her arms, I crashed my lips against her, swallowing her whimpers in my mouth. Dragging my hands down her back, my fingers found the zipper on her dress and slowly pulled it down, letting the dress fall down her shoulders. Bella slipped her arms through, still keeping her lips on mine and pushing herself tight against my chest. She pulled my tongue into her mouth and sucked on it, I moaned at her actions, grinding my hard cock against her thigh.
Soon she pulled back to breathe, gasping in mouth fulls of air. I just moved my lips down her throat, sucking on her hammering pulse. She smelled the best here, I think it's where she always applied her perfume and that's why it's so intense. I could help but to suck on the skin there, I knew she was definitely going to have a mark here by the end of the night, but I couldn't find it in me to care. She's not working right now anyway.
Moving my lips down, I was very happy when I found the tops of her breast. My naughty girl hasn't been wearing a bra all night long. Smirking I placed a wet kiss on her breast, letting my tongue trace the skin I found there. "Edward" she whined looking down at me, I gave her a smile as I wrapped my lips around her nipple. Bella immediately threw her head back moaning at the sensation. Always so responsive when I show attention to her sensitive nipples. She will thrust her chest into my mouth, telling me what she wants without having to utter a word.
I moved my hands up her arms, till they were at her shoulders and lightly pushed, silently explaining for her to lie down. She did so without question and let herself fall into the mattress below her. Her long brown hair fanned out across our bed, her blushed had spread down her neck and over the tops of her raising chest, her breaths came out in a pant as she stared at me, her tongue tracing her lips. "God you're so beautiful" I gazed at her for a moment longer, before going back to her dress and pulling it down her legs.
Bella lifted her hips and helped me, both of us being careful to not do anything that could hurt her. I knew she was most likely going to be very sore in the morning. The dress joined her shoe on the floor, letting me see all of her porcelain pale skin, only thing left was her dark red lacy panties. Mouth watering, if you ask me.
"Edward, you have to many clothes on!" I chuckled. Her voice was high pitched and needy, clearly needing some skin to skin contact after so long. Not wanting to deny her anything, I stripped out of my clothes, leaving only my boxers on and crawled back onto the bed with her, settling myself in the cradle of her thighs, Bella's legs wrapped around my waist. It was a bit difficult because of the boot, but we made it work.
We both groaned as our skin pressed tightly together. It was like heaven and I wasn't even inside of her yet. I brought my lips back down to herself in a gentle kiss. Trying to show my love for her through my kiss, but it just wasn't enough. I needed more. I just couldn't see to be close enough to her, to kiss her enough or hold her closer. "I love you so much" I whispered against her lips, before pressing them against mine once again.
Bella's hips started grinding against my cock, trying to find some relief. "Tell me what you need, princess. You can have whatever your heart desires" Bella gasped, her hands clutching at my shoulders, trying desperately to pull me closer. "I need you, Edward..only you" I couldn't help but to give her another hard kiss. She was just so sweet. "Where do you need me, love?" She blushed, eyeing me suspiciously. "You know where" I smirked moving my lips around her neck to her chest. "Yes, but I want to hear it from your beautiful lips" I reached up and traced her bottom lip for just a moment.
"I want-...No, Edward I need to feel you inside me" She reached down and yanked my boxers down my hips. "Now, please" God that was hot. I kicked my boxers off my legs letting them join the rest of our clothing on the floor. My dick was hard as a rock pressed between us, pre-cum already leaked from the tip. If I thought I couldn't get any harder, I was definitely wrong. Bella reached between us and swiped her thumb over the slit of my cock, and then stuck her thumb in her mouth, sucking it clean. She moaned loudly as she did. Dear god.
I pulled away, just long enough to rip her panties down her legs, before going back to my favorite spot between her thighs. I pushed my arms under her shoulders. Holding her up some. This way I can kiss her and keep most of my weight off her rips. Pressed my lips to hers, I just couldn't stop kissing her tonight. She was addicting. I dragged my hand down the valley of her breast and her stomach. Till my fingers were her tight curls between her legs. Letting one hand dip past her lower lips, I was met with glorious wetness that coated my finger, allowing me to push inside her ever so gently. "Ohhh..Yes baby" Bella rocked her pussy against my hand, trying to get me to go faster, harder.
Move another finger inside, I pump faster, letting my palm rub against her clit. "Right there!" She threw her head back against the pillow, her back arching off the bed. Her walls fluttered around my fingers and I knew she was getting close. But I wanted to feel those tight walls squeezing another part of my body.
Pulling my fingers out, I sucked them in my mouth, licking them clean. "Mmmm" I sighed. "You taste like heaven" Bella's hooded eyes watched my every movement. Her lips were slightly parted as she still panted, desperate for some type of relief.
I grasped my cock in hand and rubbed the thick head back and forth between her pussy, coating myself in her wetness. "Please baby...stop teasing me!" I can do that. With a harsh jerk of my hips, my cock was fully settled inside her fluttering walls, taking every single inch I had to give.
I went still. Watching Bella's faces. Her eyes were shut and her mouth formed a perfect O. After a minute, she opened her eyes and looked at me, trying to figure out why I was still. "You can move, Edward. I am alright" Ever so slowly, I pulled almost all the way out and slowly pushed my way back inside. Both of us moaning at the feeling of finally being joined together again. It was blissful.
I found a slower pace, not wanting to go too fast. I think Bella noticed that. She pulled me down and pulled my lips to her in a hard kiss. "I'm not made of glass Edward." She rocked her hips upward and I groaned. "Please, love me. Like you normally do" I looked down at her, my eyes roamed her face, trying to find any hint of doubt or pain, on her features. I found non. Only lust and desire for me. Only me.
I leaned down and kissed her again, keeping my lips pressed tightly against hers, as I pulled out and slammed back inside her warmth. "YES!!" Bella gasped, wrapping her leg higher on my body, she let the boot rest against the back of my shins and I tried to not move it around too much. I kept hitting that spongy spot behind her clit making her whine each time. I knew she wasn't going to last much longer. And honestly neither will I.
Bringing my hand between us, I rubbed tight circles on her clit and she immediately clamped down on my dick, so tight I was almost afraid to keep pushing in and out. Almost.
"I'm so close...Are you going to cum for me baby?" I whispered in her ear, letting my tongue trace everywhere I could reach. "Please..I'm so close Edward" She doesn't ever have to beg. I will give her the world. I increase the speeds of my thrusts, each pushing a little bit harder and a little bit farther inside than the last. Her breast was bouncing in time with each thrust of my hips, practically calling out for me to pay attention too. Which I glad did. Bella's moans turned into a breathless pant, letting me know just how close she was.
Leaning down I pulled a nipple in my mouth and sucked hard, as I lightly pinched her little clit. That was all it took for her to explode around me, milking me for all I'm worth. "Fuck" I grunted, I tried to not push so hard, but she felt too goddamned good, I came and I came hard, each spurt feeling more blissful than the last. I kept my hips rocking into hers, trying to drawl out our orgasms for just a little while longer. Besides I wasn't ready to leave her just yet, and I don't think, Bella was either with how tightly she had herself wrapped around me.
Looking into those deep brown eyes, I whispered. "I love you so much" Bella kissed me, pulling back she left her lips against mine, her lips brushing against mine with each word. "I love you too, husband"
I groaned, burrowing my face in my pillow, as the sun light shined through the parted curtains. Too bright and too early. My hand reached for Bella, only to hit her empty pillow, the sheets now gone cold. Sitting up, I looked at the clock on the dresser seeing it was half past ten! I can't remember the last time I slept so late, or so well. Looking down I realized I was still naked and smiled. No wonder I slept so well last night, anyone would after being with Bella. We stayed up way too late, exploring our bodies again and reconnecting after so long. But I couldn't find any way of feeling sorry about that, I had missed that part of Bella so much and I was happy to have that back again.
The smell of coffee and the sound of Saint Raymond playing in the kitchen, pulled me from the warmth of my bed. Bella only played music in the morning when she was in a good mood, I'm not even sure if she noticed that she does it, but I have. I have found her on many Saturday morning dancing and singing in the kitchen. She would always catch me watching her and would pull me over to dance with her. It was one of my favorite things about her.
After I put some pajamas pants on, I went out to see what I was missing out on. Masen's door was pushed open and his blinds were pulled up allowing the sunlight to shine through, feeling his room with bright natural light. Thats one thing I would like to have at our new house. Lots of natural lights, Bella has expressed how much she likes to have big windows in the house. She will go through each room and pull the blinds up, filling the whole house with sunshine.
How do I start, Tripping over my head and my heart. Don't think I'll be the last,
Woah oh oh. No oh oh,
Why should I care at all. Watch me fall at your feet, Give it all to make you feel complete.
I chuckled at Bella's off tune singing, pouring out her whole heart through the song. I just loved her so much. Peeking around the corner, I spotted Bella and Masen spinning around in the kitchen. Well Bella, was spinning around the best she could. But Masen, Masen was eating this up. His smile was wide and his eyes were bright as he watched his mother smile and dance, for the first time in so long.
Not being able to stay away from my family. I rushed over and pulled Bella into my arms spinning her around the room. Her laughter filled my ears, along with Masen's. "Daddy! Put her down, you might hurt Mommy" Masen scolded me, clicking his tongue at me. Showing me quite clearly, that he has been spending way! Too much time with my mother.
I carefully put Bella back down on her feet and kissed her cheek. "There ya' go. Are you happy now Masen?" Mase nodded and crossed his arms over his chest with a prideful expression on his face. "You are such a little stinker" Catching him off guard, I scooped him up, tickling his ribs making him squirm and wiggle around. "STOP! Uncle. Uncle" I rolled my eyes. Kid always gave up so damn quickly.
"Alright daddy. Set the boy down before his food gets cold" Using the spatula in her hand, she pointed to the plate full of food on the table. "Yours too, Edward" Doing what she asked, I sit Masen down and patted his bum as he ran to the table, ready to practically exhale his food. "Thank you, love. It smells delicious. And so do you" I wrapped my arms around her waist and pulling her against my front. "Edward?"
"Hmm" I hummed. My lips were busy finding that sweet spot on her neck. "I think I know when I want to get married" Smiling against her neck, I pulled back and turned her around, wanting to see her beautiful face. "And when is that?" I let my hands rub up and down her arms, just wanting to touch her in some way. "I think I want to get married on New Year's Eve. I want to ring in the new year as a married couple, start the year as husband and wife."
"That's only five months away, love. Do you think you'll be able to plan a whole wedding that quickly?" She nodded. "I think so. Alice and your mom will help me, of course. Besides I don't want a big and extravagant wedding, just a small ceremony, maybe in a church if you wanted too. I thought we could have a little party at your parents house after the ceremony, only if that's okay with your parents" She has this all figured out. When did she have time to think about all this.
"Bella that all sounds so wonderful! I want whatever you want. The only thing is that, I don't think I want our ceremony to be in a church. It's just so formal and long. Maybe just a justice of the peace and a pretty venue. I want Masen to be apart of our wedding and the Catholic Church is not big fans of having the kids be involved in the wedding ceremony's." She smiled wildly and sort of shocked me, throwing her arms around my neck and kissing me passionately.
"Oh Edward, i didn't even think about that. You're right, a justice of the peace would be a much better option for us. Once we announce our engagement to every, I will be able to talk to Alice about possible venues. Hopefully we will be able to find something at such a short notice"
"I am sure you and Al will find something. Everything will all work out. My mother has her ways too. She almost always gets what she's wants"
"You are not wrong, but I think we might need to tell a certain little boy, before we get going on anymore wedding plans" Bella's eyes moved to the table, where Masen was currently trying to fit an entire pancake into his mouth. We laughed at our little boy, walking over to the dining table, Bella and I sit on either side of him. Both wearing big goofy grins on our faces.
"Masen, me and daddy have something we want to tell you" Masen swallowed his pancake down and wiped the sticky syrup off his mouth, with the sleeve of his pajamas shirt. "What is it?" Bella handed him a napkin. Masen gave her a shy smile, wiping his mouth again. "Do you remember that day we went to the jewelry store and we drew out some rings on a piece of paper?" I asked him.
"I remember that! And then you took me to that candy store and I got to pick lots of yummy treats" I chuckled, nodding. "Yes, yes you did. But I gave that ring to your mommy last night" Masen's eyes darted to Bella's hand, smiling once he saw it on her hand. "Does this mean, you are married now?" Masen practically squealed, standing up in his seat, looking back and forth between the two of us.
Bella pulled him down, so he was sitting in his chair once again. Last thing we need is him falling off this chair and getting hurt. "No baby, we're not married yet! But we're going to get married very soon. After Christmas"
"So then you will really be my daddy?" I smiled. He wanted this just as much as we have. "Yes Masen. I will forever be your daddy, but I want to ask you something" Masen bit his bottom lip, looking so much like his mother. "Mase, I was wondering if you would be my best man?" Bella gasped, I guess she wasn't expecting me to ask him that. For a split second I thought, I had done the wrong thing asking Masen, to be my best man. But Bella's smile was blinding when I looked at her. She wiped off two of the tears that had fallen down her cheeks.
"What is a best man?" Masen quipped. I ruffled his hair, before answering. "You will get to stand up next to me during the wedding and hand me Mama's ring when it's time for it. Uncle Jazz will be a groomsmen and he will be right there next to you to help you know what to do" Masen relaxed at that. I mean he's only four. I didn't expect him to be able to do everything a best man is expected of. That's why I plan on asking Jasper to be my other best man. That way he can help Masen out and give the speech, as I don't think Mase even knows what a speech is.
"I can do that! I will be the best, best man ever!" He jumped on me, wrapping his arms around my shoulders. "But, can I wear my Batman cape?" Maybe this was a bad idea.
I'm sorry it's not the longest chapter, but I wanted to end it here. I hope you still enjoyed it, hopefully it won't take me so long next time.
Sorry for any typos or spelling mistakes. This has been a long month and I don't know if I missed some things.
Till next time Jade.
