Epilogue: In the Future

About Two months later...

Edward and I did everything fast. Not that I minded. We spent every weekend together and talked on the phone every night we weren't together. We were completely wrapped up in each other. He was my world. And, I knew I was his. There was no better feeling in the world.

I spent Christmas with the Cullens which was a wild affair. They never did anything small. But, the best part of the evening was when Edward and I retired to his room to be alone.

We went up to his room, carrying mugs of hot chocolate with us. All the couples were off doing their own things. We already had our gifts for each other up in his room. Edward had his hand on my lower back as we walked. We always seemed to be touching in some way. It didn't feel right if we weren't.

We sat on his couch in silence while all wrapped up in a blanket, drinking our cocoa. Edward had one arm around my shoulder, my head leaned against his. I was about halfway through when Edward took my mug from my hands and set it to the side.

I looked at him with a curious expression. He smiled slightly at me, "sorry. I'm impatient."

I giggled, "my gift isn't that amazing."

"No, not about that. I can't wait to give you yours," Edward stated, rolling his eyes dramatically.

"You know you didn't need to get me anything," I told him very seriously. "You're enough."

He rolled his eyes again.

"Hush, okay? Just enjoy it. Make that part of my gift, please?"

I sighed heavily but nodded my head, "okay."

He smiled as he went to go to retrieve his present for me. It was a tiny box and that scared me. Tiny for the Cullens usually meant that it cost... a lot. I bit my lip to keep from complaining. Edward sat down beside me and tugged me into his lap. He wrapped both arms around me securely, his chin on my shoulder. He placed the tiny blue box in the palm of my hand. "Open it," he whispered as he pushed my hair off my shoulder.

"Edward..." I began but he gently nibbled on my ear, shutting me up.

"Open it for God's sake, Bella. It's not going to bite you. But, I might if you don't hurry up," he teased.

I sighed heavily and took the white ribbon off the box then removed the top. I gasped softly when I saw what was inside. "Edward..."

He took the silver bracelet out and secured it onto my wrist. He twisted the little heart charm so I could read the engraving. 'EC+IS'

"Well, I thought about screaming it from the highest rooftop, but that would take me away from you for far too long. Then I thought about carving it into a tree, but you know, that's bad for the environment. So, I decided it would be easier to have it carved into sterling silver that I love you."

I twisted in his arms and kissed him furiously, causing him to laugh. "Edward, you are so cheesy!" I laughed happily in between kisses.

"Just what every man wants to hear when he confesses his love for the first time..." He said, rolling his eyes.

I grabbed his face and smashed my lips to his. "I." Kiss. "Love." Kiss. "You." Kiss. "So." Kiss. "Much."

He laughed, grabbing my hair so he could pull me back. His intense green eyes peered into my own. "Really?"

I rolled my eyes, "yes. Of course, I do. I love you, Edward."

"Oh, Bella..." He trailed off softly, tracing his fingers over my cheek.

"Now, it's time for my gift," I said, about to hop up to get it. He grabbed my waist firmly, keeping me in place.

"Later. I want to kiss my beautiful girlfriend right now..."

He laid me back on the couch, much as he had on that first night, and he began to kiss me. No. It was more than that. It was amazing. The way he tasted, the way he touched me... I couldn't have been happier.

We didn't make love that night, even though we both really really wanted to. We talked about it seriously. But, Edward said that he had something special planned for us. I wasn't going to argue with him. He would let me know when he was ready. I was his whenever he wanted me.

I was getting ready in the room that we had reserved at the hotel that night. It was New Year's Eve and UW was having a formal dance. Edward reserved one of the suites when he first found out about it apparently. I don't know how else he could get a room like it for New Years otherwise. He was already downstairs at the party. He said that he had some things to do before the night was over.

I hated the dress that Alice picked out for me. I hated her more for picking it. It was a... tube. It was tight, hugging my body. It was sequined a shiny blue, cutting off at my thighs a good seven inches above my knees. My breasts were pushed up uncomfortably by the strapless bra she got for it. The urge to pull off the thong and leave it behind was almost overwhelming. I was going to murder her. Painfully and slowly. She was lucky she was two hours away from me right then.

I straightened my hair and applied my makeup carefully. Finally, I dabbed a couple spots of perfume on my neck and wrists. I was so nervous that my knees were shaking. I wasn't sure how Edward would think about my look. We had gone on dates, but we were usually in jeans. I had never dressed up for him before. I knew he would look good though. He looked good no matter what he wore. But, the idea of him in a tux was... intoxicating.

I went downstairs in the elevator, nervously fidgeting with my dress. I kept pulling it down, wishing that it would magically grow longer. But, as soon as the doors opened none of that matter.

Edward was standing in the lobby talking to someone else in a tux. He was talking and laughing, smiling about something. He looked wonderful. I stepped off and began to walk towards him, determined to have my arms around him.

A second later he saw me walking towards him and his smile grew. He left whoever was talking to him without even saying a word and began to walk towards me. We meet halfway.

"You look amazing," I said, smiling up at him. I felt entirely too flushed.

"You're one to talk. Good god. Let's just go back to the room now," he sighed, his hands going to my waist.

I laughed as he tugged me closer and began to scatter kisses across my shoulder. "Don't you want to dance with me?" I asked.

"Nu-uh," he muttered in response, kissing the nape of my neck.

"Don't you want to be here for the countdown?" I tried again.

"No," he whispered breathily against my ear.

"Don't you want to show off your sexy girlfriend and make all your friends jealous?" I asked sarcastically, rolling my eyes as I said it.

"Well, I guess there is time for that," he chuckled as he suckled on my earlobe. "Besides, I want to get pictures of you in that dress."

"Yeah, you better get pictures. I'm never going to wear this thing again," I muttered as he began to tug me inside the ballroom.

He brought his lips to my ear, "I'm honestly more interested in how you look out of it."

I felt my knees go weak.

We danced, drank punch, took stupid pictures, and talked with his friends. Edward never let go of me the entire night and I loved it. We were sitting at one of the tables, taking a little break around eleven forty. I was sitting on his lap, my legs crossed so I didn't flash anyone. One of his hands was on my thigh while the other was tracing lazy patterns on my stomach. His face was buried deep into my neck, sucking and covering it with kisses. I was trying not to squeal and laugh as he did so, my arms around his neck. He laughed breathlessly at my wiggling in his lap, nipping at my flesh. I groaned, my head falling back for a moment. "Oh, Edward... stop-pp..." I giggled.

"Why?" He asked, licking my earlobe.

I opened my eyes to see that there was a couple staring at us. By a tall strawberry blond with angry blue eyes that flashed towards us. She was standing beside an extremely tall dark skinned man who was whispering furiously in her ear. She appeared to be pouting, her arms crossed over her chest.

"We're being watched."

"Mm, I don't care," he grinned against my skin but he slowly pulled away and looked at his watch. "But, I do have something I want to show you."

He set me to my feet and stood himself.

"What's that?" I asked.

"You'll see," he smiled, placing a small kiss on my cheek as we walked out of the room.

We walked directly past the couple and I heard the girl huff heavily. Edward didn't even glance her way. I don't think he noticed anyone else but me. His arm was securely wrapped around my waist as he led me to the elevators. When I glanced back once more I saw her stomp her foot for some reason.

"We're going to miss the countdown," I said as he pressed the button to our suite.

He shook his head, "no, we won't. Trust me. I have something special planned."

He pulled me closer as we stood in the elevator with a tug of my arm, wrapping it around his neck. Edward lowered his lips to mine and kissed me hard.

I moaned into his mouth, my hands resting on his neck. One of his hands pressed against the small of my back, the other resting on my bottom. He squeezed and massaged me gently, my lower body grinding against his the entire time. It was rather obvious that he was enjoying himself, too.

His eyes never left mine as we walked to our room. He pressed me against the door and kissed me, one hand above my head while the other searching his pocket for the card key. It took him a few moments to find it. I'm sure the fact that my knee was grazing his inner thigh while my foot rubbed against his calf didn't distract him at all.

Finally we stepped inside, continuing to kiss. With a little giggle, I jumped up so that I wrapped my legs around his waist. He groaned loudly, his hands going to my ass. I saw as his eyes flicker to the clock. "Ten minutes..." he muttered to himself.

"I couldn't think of a better way to start the new year," I said as I kissed his neck.

"I can," he said softly, touching my hair. "I want to talk to you about something."

"Anything, Edward," I said, pulling back to look at him. I rubbed my fingers over the back of his neck, playing with the soft curls behind his ears.

"I want to make love to you tonight. I want to show you how much I love you. You were the best thing about this year. And, I know you'll be the best thing about the next. And the one after that and the one after that..." He said as a small blush covered his cheeks. "If you don't want to, I understand. But, I'd rather be alone with you in my arms than in a crowd of people I hardly know."

"I'm yours," I pressed my lips to his.

"Bella, I want you to think about this. I don't want you to regret this for a moment-"

I pressed my lips to his again.

"Like I told you that first weekend... I am ready whenever you are."

He set me carefully to my feet and gingerly began to kiss my lips and cheeks. I slowly tugged off his jacket, throwing it to the floor. His fingers wound into my hair, stroking it gently. I felt as if I was being worshiped by him.

Somehow he was undressed before me, simply in his boxers as he kissed my shoulders and collarbone. Though, I honestly didn't have much to shed. One simple zipper ride down and I would be in nothing but my underwear too.

The hotel was alive below us. I could hear cheering and laughing as they started their countdown to midnight at the five-minute mark.

Edward turned me slowly and peppered my shoulder blades with kisses. With one hand on my stomach, the other pulled the zipper down on my dress.

It went to the floor in a blue sequined puddle and I stepped out of it, turning in his arms so I could look at him. His lips met mine in a passionate kiss as his hands went to the back of my bra. With a simple twist of his fingers, the fabric snapped away from my body and fell to the floor.

Edward sighed happily, one of his hands molding to my breast. My nipples hardened at his touch and I took in a deep breath. He lowered his lips to my ear and whispered softly, "I will marry you one day. I will make you my wife."

I turned slowly and saw the sweet sincerity in his eyes. I nodded slowly, not saying yes to it but letting him know that one day I would. His warm hands grazed my sides as he lowered his soft lips to my chest, lightly kissing my beating heart. I felt it thunder loudly at his touch.

"I love you," I whispered as he brought his lips back up to mine. I would never get enough of his kisses.

We walked back to the bed, my knees buckling as I hit the edge of the mattress. I fell backward, pulling him on top of me. He was always so careful to make sure that he didn't hurt me. Lightly his lips traced my chest, bringing one of my hard nipples into his mouth. He suckled it for a moment, releasing it with a pop of his lips.

I groaned loudly, pressing my hips into his.

"I want you. Please," I panted, my head falling back against the pillows as he tormented my other aching nipple. "I want you inside of me."

His eyes were heavy with desire and his lips glittering with moisture. "Are you sure?"

I nodded my head, pressing my hips so that his harden erection brushed against my damp thighs. It was his turn to moan.

I tugged his boxers off quickly and he kicked them off the edge of the bed. His talented hands worked my panties off. He dipped one of his fingers inside of me, feeling how wet I was just for him. I was soaked, the liquid gathering at my thighs already. I didn't need any more torture. We had had two months of foreplay.

"Make love to me, Edward..."

He grabbed a condom from the nightstand, something I didn't know he put there. I was grateful that he had thought to. I massaged his length gently while he tore the package with his teeth. I took the latex from the foil package and carefully rolled it into him. I was almost proud of myself that I did it right the first time without fumbling. He pressed his hips forward with the touch of my hand, his eyes half closed.

I wanted him to dive into me. I wanted to let him drown in my wet body. I was his and I needed him so badly it hurt. But, he had other ideas. He lowers his lips to mine and lightly kissed the corners of my own.

He hand traced my hairline, over my ear and across my jaw. His eyes were dark and full of passion. I began to pant as my heart pounded. Just looking at him could almost make me cum.

.

"Bella, I love you," he whispered softly as he simply gazed at me. I felt him brush against my entrance and I lifted my hips to feel more of him.

"Edward, please..."

He lowered his mouth to mine and kissed me hard. He grabbed one of my hips, massaging it with the palm of his hand. Our lower bodies moved against each other, his hard length teasing me. I felt it brush against my sensitive clit and I cried out, closing my eyes. I heard the crowd get louder downstairs as the countdown began.

10...

9...

8...

7...

"I will not waste another second of my life not being in you," he whispered, a breath away from my lips.

With that, he pressed deep inside of me.

6...

5...

4...

3...

2...

1...

There was pressure, but only for a moment. It was not the possible pain I had braced myself for. My body relaxed under his heat. I felt my thighs flood with liquid. Edward groaned softly, his head falling forward as he sheathed himself deeper inside of me.

I vaguely heard the cheering and music downstairs and the fireworks outside the windows. All I could focus on was the movement of our hips as we pressed together. I was his and he was mine.

He went slowly at first but I could tell his control was waning.

"Harder, Edward. Please!" I egged him on, knowing my words would make him lose it.

He growled softly, grabbing my knee at the bend and pulling it upwards. My legs spread wider apart for him. Shoving himself deeper, he moved at a steady pace. I gasped loudly, my eyes rolling back into my head.

His fingers were incredible inside of me, but they were nothing compared to this. This was perfection. The fireworks going on outside had nothing on the ones exploding in front of my eyes. I dug my nails deep into Edward's shoulders, screaming loudly. "YES! Yes... yes..." I chanted, my voice quivering.

Edward hissed through gritted teeth and I could tell he wanted to hold out for longer. I wanted him to lose control though. We had all night and the rest of our lives for more. I wanted him to feel good. I pressed my hips up hard, my hands tugging on the back of his hair.

"Bella," he moaned, completely lost to the sensation.

"I'm yours, Edward. All of me. Take me," I told him as sultry as possible. His grip on my thigh tightened and his eyes squeezed shut. His mouth hung open as he panted, twitching hard inside of me.

His arms seemed to turn into Jello then. He fell down on top of me, his face buried in my neck.

"You are amazing," he told me breathlessly, his voice muted.

I giggled softly, "wait until I get a little practice," I teased him.

He moaned happily, kissing the side of my neck lightly.

"It is going to be a wonderful year."

And that's all folks!
