Chapter 10

Edward

"You said you could have, but you didn't. I just have a few bruises, and they'll go away in a few days. Edward, I had the most wonderful experience with you yesterday that any woman could ask for. I don't care what I look like. I don't want to miss last night, and fortunately you can't take it away from me. Apparently you didn't like it," she hissed at me.

Then Bella ran towards the bedroom and locked the door.

I heard her slide to the floor by the bedroom door and start crying.

How could she think that I had not enjoyed that night? She was full of passion, and I felt all her love for me. It was indescribable and I would never have believed that sex could be so ... I couldn't even put it into words. We were one, it was perfect. But I could not forget those bruises I had inflicted on her. How could she forget even them? How could she forgive me when I couldn't even forgive myself?

I was jolted out of my thoughts by the ringing of my cell phone and knew right away who was disturbing us.

"Hello Alice," I sighed into my cell phone.

"Hello Edward. Can you explain to me why my best friend is sitting alone in her bedroom crying?"

"Alice, this is none of your business, and besides, didn't I tell you not to look into our future during our honeymoon?"

This little sneaky beast, she just wasn't able to stop doing it.

A growl escaped my throat.

"Calm down, Edward. I haven't seen anything yet, but just now I had a vision of Bella."

"Which one?"

"Curious after all."

"Alice, get to the point and stop bugging me."

"Okay okay. I saw Bella sitting in the bedroom by herself crying."

"We've already had that. What else did you see?" I asked angrily.

"Don't be so impatient," she admonished me, and another growl escaped me. "She wants to go home because she thinks you didn't like it. Bella will call me in a minute to see if we can get her."

"She's going to what? She can't do that to me."

"Edward, I'm going to give you some advice as a woman. Tell her you enjoyed it too, and touch her despite her bruises. Jump over your shadow."

"I can't do that, Alice."

"Bella has complete confidence in you, why don't you have any yourself? You are the only vampire I know with such self-control. You've been with your dream girl for two years; you've been able to resist her blood several times. She loves you more than anything, and despite the few bruises, she is the happiest woman. And what do you do? You're just making her feel like you don't desire her."

"What's your advice?", I asked, a little annoyed, and had to admit to myself that she was right.

"She's not going to open the door for you. The bedroom window is open. I wish you good luck ..., and have faith in yourself."

Then the conversation was over.

I hated that little annoying woman. But she was right. I had to go to Bella and explain to her that last night was the most wonderful for me too.

I went out of the house and ran to the bedroom window. Once there, I saw Bella, still crying, sitting on the floor in front of the bedroom door. She was wrapping her arms around her legs and shaking.

Cautiously, I walked toward them.

"My angel, I'm sorry."

Then I lifted her up. She put her arms around my nape, and I carried her to our bed.

"I'm sorry I ran away, but ..."

I interrupted my angel.

"It's okay, in your place I might have reacted the same way ... Bella, last night was wonderful and unforgettable for me too. But what I did to you must not happen again."

"What makes you sure it will happen again next time?"

With this question my angel had caught me full. I could not answer it. Would I hurt them again next time? Or was she right, and it would get better every time?

I took her right hand in mine and gently kissed her blue welts.

I still hated myself for what I had done to her, but if she could forgive me, I had to be able to forgive myself.

"Edward?"

"I can't answer that question for you, my angel. I am afraid."

"But I'm not afraid, my darling! I would suggest we don't talk about it anymore right now. You just learn to have faith in yourself, and then we'll see."

My angel looked deep into my eyes at this sentence, and I forgot for a moment what I had done to her. I bent down to her and touched her lips lightly with my lips. She immediately pulled me tightly to her and requested entrance with her tongue, which I was only too happy to grant her. Our tongues began to fight passionately with each other. She stroked my chest with one hand and a tingling sensation ran through my body. Only briefly she detached herself from my lips to take a breath of air, and then her lips were again with great passion on mine.

For a short time I forgot everything and enjoyed kissing.

As usual, we were immediately interrupted by two annoying things.

First, Bella's stomach growled, which made us laugh, and second, my cell phone rang.

"You should finally eat something. Let's go to the kitchen."

"Okay, I'm starving. Might as well see who's bothering us."

"Sure again Alice."

Once in the kitchen, I grabbed my phone and saw that Alice had sent a text message:

I see Bella is very very happy again. So you could forgive yourself and gave her what you actually even want.

Have fun with it, Alice

Bella

Once in the kitchen, Edward grabbed his cell phone. From the looks of it, he had received a text message. While reading it, he had a damn cute smile on his lips. It was nice that he was himself again.

I could not take my eyes off him. He still had the swim trunks on, and his body was that of a god. His six-pack was indescribable, his body clouded all my senses.

As one used to say in such cheesy movies: You'd need a gun license for a body like that.

"Bella?", I suddenly heard Edward say.

"What?", I asked, startled.

"Where were you just now with your thoughts? I asked you if you wanted to read Alice's text message?" he smirked.

Fortunately, he could not read my mind. Oh man, that was embarrassing!

I felt the blush rise to my face and couldn't help an embarrassed smirk.

Edward suddenly stood behind me and breathed in my ear, "I'm going to miss this."

Then he gave me a kiss on the cheek and asked again, "Do you want to read it now, yes or no."

"Yes. Will you fix me something to eat in the meantime?"

"Already on it."

He handed me his cell phone and went to the refrigerator.

I read the SMS from Alice and did not quite understand the meaning at the first moment. So I read it again and then I turned red like an overripe tomato.

Edward was already back to me very quickly and smiled at me.

"I love you, and thank you for your trust."

"I love you too, and from the sound of it, we can do this," I grinned teasingly at him.

Edward

While my angel had read Alice's text message, she had blushed quite a bit. I knew very well that she would be embarrassed if Alice possibly saw us making love.

I didn't even want to think about the possibility of that. If I found out she did, some pretty dresses would have to bite the dust. I could well imagine that Bella was happy to help me with that.

Knowing my annoying little sister, she had already seen this plan, and would be careful not to watch us.

A real satisfaction for me.

In the meantime, I had finished Bella's meal. Since it was already noon, I had made her egg gnocchi with green salad. This recipe I had learned the night before our wedding in such a cooking show.

I'm already curious what my angel will say about my newfound talent. If someone had told me years ago that I would cook human food, I would have asked him if he did not have all the cups in the cupboard. But I end up doing everything for my angel, even eating a wedding cake. Disgusting, but I have to honestly say that during my attempts at cooking, I made friends with the stench of the food. Well, as well as I could. That Bella needs food regularly, I will definitely not miss, I thought.

"My angel, lunch is served."

I had to grin at that.

Bella looked at me in surprise and said, "This looks really delicious. I think it's strange that you of all people can cook."

"I had to do something to pass my nights. You wouldn't believe how many different cooking shows are on at night."

"So you learned to cook? ... For me?"

At this, Bella looked sheepishly at me.

"Yes, just for you, and I'm happy to do it."

Bella pulled me to her and gave me a long passionate kiss.

Luckily, her stomach had been growling again, or we probably wouldn't have broken away so quickly.

From the looks of it, Bella liked my food.

I could not take my eyes off her.

She had changed since last night. Her eyes were shining, she was radiant, and she looked really happy. And her seductive smile, with which she just looked at me, made me lose my mind.

I couldn't believe that I had ruined it all with my stupid fears. I had to admit that for the first time I was grateful to Alice for her help. She was right. If Bella trusted me, then I had to trust myself, too. Last night was indescribable, and I would do anything to be able to feel Bella like that again. I could do it, and I would do it.

"Edward?"

"Yes?"

"Where were you just now with your thoughts?"

"Your seductive smile made me dream."

"And what did you dream?"

Bella came up to me and put her hand on the back of my neck, then whispered in my ear, "I hope you were just dreaming about me. Maybe about this?"

She pulled me tightly to her and put her warm lips on mine. She licked with her tongue at my lower lip and asked for admission. Of course, I granted her this only too gladly. Our tongues fought with each other, and a growl escaped me.

Bella broke away from my lips for a moment to catch her breath, smirking cheekily as she did so.

"Not quite, my angel, but you came close."

If she could be sassy, so could I.

"Then what were you dreaming about?" she asked me again.

"I dreamed about it."

I put my lips on Bella's and immediately Bella's tongue was in my mouth, and we kissed passionately. At the same time I lifted my angel, her legs she put around my hips and she pressed tightly against me. While we kissed, I went with her into the living room and sat down with her on the couch. Our kiss became more intense, and Bella ran her right hand up and down my back.

I felt the pure pleasure.

How I would like to feel them now, but I couldn't, ... not yet. Our honeymoon had just begun. We still had plenty of time to try again. It didn't have to be the second night. Bella's bruises would have to heal first. They always reminded me that it could happen again.

Suddenly my angel detached from me and looked at me lovingly.

"What do you say we have a DVD afternoon?"

I drew my eyebrows together and looked questioningly at Bella.

"Well, I thought you didn't want to continue and that's why I made this suggestion."

Embarrassed, my angel looked at me and I had to smirk properly. This woman surprised me again and again.

"I love you more than anything, and you make me very happy."

"I love you, too."

"And what movie would you like to see?"

"Something exciting and scary for me to snuggle up to your chest."

Bella

Our kiss became more passionate and intense. I detached myself and looked lovingly at Edward.

Knowing him, he was just getting worried about my bruises again. I would give him time until they healed, but then there was no stopping it. I couldn't imagine Edward not wanting to have sex anymore. I would already help and make his life as a man difficult.

I was able to talk Edward into an afternoon of DVD watching.

We both got comfortable on the couch and decided on 'Resident Evil'.

A few times I startled up, and of course he liked that very much, because it made me hide against his chest.

After the movie I still felt like swimming.

I wanted to see if I could tempt Edward.

I got up and walked towards the bedroom.

"You wait here, I'll be right back."

I quickly disappeared behind the door.

I grabbed the various bikinis Alice had packed for me, and one piece left me breathless.

They couldn't be serious about this thing! Who put on something like that? After all, those little bruises didn't cover much.

I felt the blush rise to my face and my heartbeat accelerate.

But then I thought, maybe if I would wear this part, then Edward would surely not be able to keep his hands off me. I probably didn't dare to put this thing on anyway. I really needed to have a conversation with Alice. She couldn't possibly have seen me in it.

After my heartbeat calmed down, I decided to wear a simple bikini in brown and white. This one Alice had chosen well. The top really showed off my breasts and in the pants I had a really tight ass.

I hoped Edward liked that one too.

I quickly grabbed another bathing trunks and went back into the living room.

As suspected, Edward was already at the door waiting for me.

Edward said, "WOW!" and growled.

So he liked what he saw.

"I'm glad you like it. Here, for you."

I threw him the bathing trunks and said very seductively, "I'm going swimming now."

Then I made my way to the sea. I wasn't quite in the water yet when Edward was already next to me and grabbed me.

"You're a real beast."

He smiled at me and kissed me.

"Are you going to tell me why your heartbeat was so fast earlier?"

I felt the blush come back to my face as I thought of that skimpy bikini.

Edward kissed me again and said, "If you don't want to tell me, maybe you'll show me what terrible thing Alice packed for you."

"You know your sister really well. Who knows, maybe I'll show you sometime."

We kissed again far too passionately. I felt Edward's arousal on my thigh. Since I wanted to give him time, I detached myself from him again.

"Let's go for a swim," I suggested.

"Okay."

Somehow I had the impression that my sweetheart was a little disappointed because I had broken away from him.

Edward needed some more time to lose his fears completely, and then I would use my power as a woman. I didn't even know I could be such a bad girl.

Edward

As it was, my wife had the plan to make my life difficult.

She actually let me fidget.

Her body in this bikini was stunning. Her breasts came out very well in it, and her butt only. If she had not made the suggestion with swimming, I might have fallen over her.

After showering, she came to bed with me in a cute nightgown. It was black and looked like a mini dress. It was not provocative, but it fit perfectly to her body.

I didn't even like to think about what other things Alice had packed after Bella said that this piece was the only one that covered that much.

Of course, she made me promise not to look at the parts.

I couldn't wait to see one of these skimpy pieces.
