A/N

It took me a bit longer than I intended to get this out. I always have trouble with the slightest of lemon and it takes me forever to be halfway okay with it. So I apologize. I listened to a song while writing my small lime juice, here is the link-

The video isn't anything, I just wanted the song off the video. I'll let you know when to start the music. A big thank you to azalea'sromeo because she is amazing and has helped me with so much and constantly supports me. I love her to death and this story wouldn't have been kept going if not for her pushing me. Thank you! Another big thank you to kgurl93 for helping out with parts of this chapter as well! I appreciate it so much! So, no more stalling, here is your chapter!

Edward and I were driving off somewhere, and I still wasn't exactly sure where. We were driving through Forks, passed it. Now we were on the highway with trees passing by quickly. Edward pulled over on the shoulder of the road and grinned at me.

"Don't fight me." He said and pulled a blind fold out of his pocket. "Wear this for me?" I looked out the window, the sun was setting quickly and we were in the middle of nowhere. "Please?"

"Alright." I knew if he really wanted me to wear it, I couldn't fight with him about it, so I let him tie it around my eyes. "So does this mean we're close?"

"Sort of." He pulled back on the road and continued driving. After another fifteen minutes, Edward parked the car. He got out, opened the back door, shut it, and then opened mine. "Stay here for just a minute." he said as he ran off. I wanted so badly to peek, but I didn't. I didn't like having the most prominent sense cut off, but it heightened all of my others. I could hear Edward walking through tall grass, and when he reached a certain point, he started running. And by the way he was running, I could tell he had multiple items in his hands. He sat them down on something wood and started back towards me. There was a small hill, I could hear Edward's breathing pick up and his steps slow down.

I allowed myself a moment to breath in the air around us, water. I at least knew we were by a lake or pond of some sort. Edward finally reached me and laced my fingers with his.

"Still no peeking." He whispered to me as he led me down a small path. I was right about the hill, it wasn't very large, but there were tall grasses and fallen vines from trees surrounding the ground. I even stepped in a pot hole.

"That is the first time I've ever tripped since becoming a vampire." I told Edward after I stopped laughing. He found it humorous that he had to help me right myself. I didn't fall, my reflexes were to fast for that, but when I tripped his arm came around my waist and pulled me up straight.

"And that isn't the first time I've forgotten you weren't human. I do that a lot." He paused, then added. "Forget you aren't human, I mean."

"Is that a good or bad thing?" I asked, keeping my arms out in front of me. I felt so off having to be careful, in all honesty it was for nature that I had to be careful, even if I ran into a tree it wouldn't hurt me, but I wouldn't want to create a clearing from hitting a tree and causing it to fall into another, then another and another.

"It's not bad at all. I like having to guide you right now, feeling like you need me." We walked up a small hill and then he let go of my hand. We were on the wood Edward was walking on a moment ago, a dock.

I was thinking about what I was going to say, focused on saying the right thing as he rummaged around a moment. I wanted to make sure he knew that I did, and always will, need him. As soon as I thought of what to say I felt him behind me. Edward untied the blindfold and let it fall, wrapping his arms around me.

My mouth fell open slightly as I took in the sight. There was a small lake, almost a pond, floating candles filled it and in the trees surrounding us, a few paper lanterns hung in a random order. There were a few votive candles on the posts of the dock close to where we were standing by the blanket he sat out. Edward tightened his arms around me and kissed the back of my neck.

"You like it?" He asked anxiously.

"Edward…I love it." I wasn't sure what else to say, I wanted to say more, but I suddenly I didn't have the vocabulary of someone who's been alive for 85 years.

"We haven't really gotten any alone time. There is either someone with us or someone is close by; I wanted to be able to have you to myself." He rested his chin on my shoulder, whispering in my ear. "You have had a lot to do lately, like planning Paris and my change. I just wanted to tell you thank you, and get you out and away from everyone. We don't have to do anything at all, we can just sit here and talk," He pulled us down on the blanket. "Sit here in silence, or we can leave if you don't want to stay…" I cut him off.

"I want to stay. This is so beautiful, I don't want to put any of the time you spent getting this ready to waste. Thank you, so much." I turned my head to the side and pressed my lips to his, feeling his smile.

"You deserved this, and so much more than I can give you."

"I've got everything I need right here." I whispered, eyeing him carefully so he knew I meant him.

"You have no idea." He said with a content sigh, placing his chin back on my shoulder. Edward jerked his head up after a few minutes and he smirked at me.

"What?" I asked, not trying to fight my grin. He pushed on my shoulders gently and I leaned forward. He stood, giving me a wide smile and lifted his shirt, tossing it on the deck. He moved to the button of his pants and they fell to his ankles. I watched him, my grin still across my lips. "Are you purposing we go skinny dipping?" I asked him with a laugh, then fluttered my eyes as I leaned forward and said, "Or do you have something else in mind?"

Edward stood there for a moment, just staring at me. I giggle at his reaction and that broke him out of his train of thought. His answer was to run off the dock and dive into the water, tossing his underwear back up to the dock after he was submerged. I rolled my eyes, grin still in place, and tossed all of my clothes, jumping in after him. A few of the votives in the lake went out after water splashed over them.

Cue music!

I came above water, face to face with him. I ran my hands over my hair, smoothing it back. Edward's legs were kicking and his arms swishing slightly to help him float. I swam a little way off close to the middle of the lake; I turned around to see Edward where he was, staring after me. I grinned and lifted my hand to wave him over. He immediately started towards me, the water rippling over his body, making me long to touch him and for hold him to me.

Edward stopped in front of me, only a foot between us, and grasped my hand under the water with his, lacing his fingers between mine. Both of our legs were kicking, our free hands swaying to keep us floating like before. "You look so breathtaking Bella, so gorgeous that it hurts." He pulled my hand out of the water and pressed his lips to my damp skin. Inside, I was gasping, my dead heart seemed as if it were pounding so hard that it might burst out of my chest. On the outside, I was having a very similar reaction. I really was gasping for air; my body was reacting to the close proximity of a bare and beautiful Edward in front of me, aching to kiss him. I pulled my hand from his gently and placed it on his chest, sliding my fingers along his skin. He shivered once and I pulled away immediately. "No." Edward whispered, pulling my hand out of the water and holding it onto his chest again. "It felt amazing." I looked up into his eyes and he gave me one of his smiles that made me lose myself. I paused a moment, trying to recollect my thoughts, then ran my hand along his chest again. When he was sure I would continue, he moved his hand to my face and cupped my cheek. "I love you Bella." Edward's voice was like a caress, one I couldn't help but desire. The pad of his thumb rubbed gently across my cheek, his eyes locking onto mine. That smile again. The slight smile where one corner of his lips curl upward.

"You have no idea." I repeated what he had said to me moments before. He smirked at me but I could see the emotion playing behind his eyes. I thought that now seemed like a good time to tell him just how much I loved him, hoping it showed just how much I really do need him. "Edward, I wish I could tell you what I feel every time you touch me, every time your eyes meet mine, but everything around me disappears and I can't concentrate on anything but you." I gave a slight laugh. My voice was breathy and soft, trying to express in those few words what I truly meant. "I love you, so much."

"Bella, I feel that every time you walk into a room, anytime I see you smile and every time I even think of you. I live for those moments, and for moments like these." He said, glancing around us so I understood. "I live for you, Bella." Before I could respond, he was kissing me.

His kiss was urgent, passion pouring off him in waves that threatened to pull me under. His tongue traced my bottom lip. He sucked it into his mouth, biting it gently. My hands went to his back, pulling him against me, completely forgetting our lack of dress. We both gasped as our bare bodies touched and I pulled away. He eyed me speculatively for a moment, gauging my reaction. One of his arms wrapped around my waist, his eyes still connected to mine, and pulled me to him once again. Small waves slapped against our bodies, breaking around my own and splashing Edward, making him bob in the water. His hands locked into my hair and pulled me to kiss him again. My own hands went to his neck, pulling him closer. Our kicking stopped when our legs touched. We started sinking; Edward took a deep breath and pulled us under completely, his lips crashing to mine. Bubbles surrounded us as we clung to each other. Our hands in one another's hair, letting as much love as we were capable of fill this kiss. He stopped momentarily and I opened my eyes, he was gazing at me, with a look of such pure adoration that it made me shiver. Edward gave me a slight smile and looked up; I followed his gaze and was amazed at the sight in front of me. The light from the votives on the lake made the water seem other worldly. The colors were bouncing off each other with each ripple of the water in blues, greens, and oranges, from the flames. It was beautiful. I looked back at Edward and he smiled, letting out his breath, causing those bubbles to surround us once again. He broke the water, took another deep breath, and plunged back in, grabbing my hand. He pulled me to him once more, leaning back until he was horizontal to the water with me above him. He pressed his lips against my neck and started kicking his legs, causing us to move slowly back towards the dock.

Music should end here

Edward grasped the rope on the dock and pulled our heads above the water. He sucked in a large breath, allowing himself to breathe in the warm air. He turned his gaze back to me. He had one arm around my waist, pressing me into his side. One of my arms was around his neck, the other around his own waist. He let his eyes start to wonder, as soon as they met my bare chest that was just above the water, he slammed his eyes shut. I couldn't help but smile.

"I'm sorry." He whispered.

"Why?" I asked with a laugh.

"It's just, I shouldn't…I mean I… I just…" I stopped him.

"There isn't a reason to be sorry Edward." An idea popped into my head and Edward scrunched his eyebrows together.

"What are you doing?" He asked as I wiggled out of his grasp. I didn't answer. Instead, I smirked at him. "Bella!" Edward gasped when I brushed my naked body up his as I climbed the rope. Once on the dock I looked back over into the water, Edward was blushing. I placed my hands on the wood and my head on my hands, smiling down at him. Edward looked up and I traced my tongue along my bottom lip, pulling it into my mouth and biting down. He groaned and I smiled in satisfaction when he started climbing the rope.

When he was about to swing his leg up onto the dock, he stopped and looked at me, the blush coloring his cheeks. I turned my head, allowing him to stand without feeling embarrassed. The moment he was on the dock, I had him pinned beneath me, his wrists in my hands.

I placed a kiss to Edward's neck, nuzzling it gently. He tried moving his hands from my grasp, but I growled softly and he immediately stopped moving, his body tensed. His thoughts started racing and I sat up, looking at him, afraid I had frightened him.

"Edward?" I asked softly. His eyes met mine and his thoughts came to an abrupt halt. "I'm sorry." I whispered, letting go of his wrists and sitting up. I pulled away from him and was about to move to the edge of the dock when he wrapped his arms around my waist.

"No," He whispered, pulling me back down beside him. "You didn't scare me. I just…" He blushed, burying his head in my neck. I pulled back and looked down at him, my eyebrows drawn together in confusion. "I liked it." He murmured, his cheeks tinting a brighter pink. I lifted an eyebrow in question. "When you growled. It didn't scare me. I…liked it." His eyes averted and glanced at anything but me.

A huge amount of relief flooded me and I let out a breath. "Really?" I asked softly, he nodded.

"You really shouldn't worry so much. You're hardly scary Bella." Both of my brows shot up and Edward grinned.

Okay, I'm so sorry it has taken me so long. I couldn't wait to finish writing the chapter to post because this is taking me forever and that isn't fair. I'm a sucky updater, I am so sorry! I'll try to do a lot better. I should have a lot more time than I've had so, I'll get you guys the small lemon. Again I'm sorry. I'll try a lot harder, promise. Maybe life won't get in the way again.
