“We need to take these pictures,” Alice chided. “I know you
need to go do unspeakable things to each other, but it’s important.”
“One more,” Marcus chuckled. I nuzzled Bella’s hair, kissing
her neck and smiled when the flash went off. “Okay, I’ll post these to the
website and we’re good to go. Congratulations, my lord and my lady.”
“Thank you, Marcus,” I said. Our friends, family, they left
the backyard and Bella and I had a few moments alone. She looked at me, her
eyes glowing a deep amber. “You are so beautiful, Bella. I can’t even …”
“So are you, Edward,” she whispered, standing on her
tiptoes, brushing her lips with mine. “I need you, Edward. Ever since we
exchanged our vows, our blood, I have to …”
“I know, love,” I said, silencing her rambling with a kiss.
“We need to wait until the crowd leaves. Then, we’re able to mate, complete our
bond.” I pulled her into my arms and swayed to the soft breezes in the
backyard. She melted against me, her eyes locked on mine. “This may not be a
traditional human wedding, but I wanted to dance with my mate, my sihrena.”
“You romantic,” she giggled, laying her head on my shoulder.
“I do try, love,” I said, inhaling deeply and smelling her
succulent fragrance, mixed with her heady scent of arousal. I focused my
hearing to the house. I faintly heard Carmen and Eleazar get into the car. They
were the last to leave, giving us the castle to ourselves. “We’re alone.”
“Truly alone?” she asked.
I cocked my head. “Our family is nearby, in case we’re
attacked, but yes.”
“Make love to me, Edward,” she whispered, her voice quiet,
but sure. “You’ve taken my blood. I want to give you my body. I want to share
my soul.”
I stared into her eyes, searching for uncertainty. There was
none. I rolled my shoulders and my wings spread. I couldn’t wait to take the
stairs. I swept her in my arms and took off, her body pressed to mine. She
squealed. I laughed, looping us around the turret where our room was located. I
opened the window, setting Bella down on her feet. With a flick of my hand, the
castle was surrounded by an impenetrable shield of ice, never to be broken,
lest I be killed. Bella stared at me, her eyes turning predatory, lust-filled.
“I want to see you, Edward,” she purred. “You look handsome in your clothes,
but I want to see your body. Your true body.”
I removed my tunic and pants, standing before her, naked and
aroused. She approached me, her fingers gliding along my pale, tattooed skin. She
flicked my nipples and I groaned. “You are teasing me, Bella.” She giggled,
stepping front of me with her back to mine. She arched a brow, pulling her
mahogany curls over her shoulder. I unzipped her dress and she slid it down her
body. “Fuck me.”
“Not tonight, but I want to try that, too,” she snickered. She
turned around, as bare as me. Her body was lithe, toned and beautiful. Her
breasts were small, but a perfect handful for me. Her waist nipped in and
flared out at her hips, making her look womanly and perfect. “I know we’ve
explored, but …”
“You’re in charge, sihrena,”
I said, kissing her. “You tell me what you want.”
“You. I want you,” she breathed as she opened her mouth, welcoming my tongue.
