Beautifully Circular via anntastic23
"I sat at the edge of the counter, looking at him. He didn’t move from his position in the doorway; he was watching me as I sat in a place I had been only days earlier, but under very different circumstances.
“When you stitched me up, do you remember how you felt?” I asked quietly.
“Yes," he whispered. "I was terrified that I would lose control."
“Did you?”
He smirked at me. “Bella.” He leaned against the doorframe, crossing his arms over his bare chest.
Damn he is gorgeous. “Just go through it with me. Humor me.”
“No, I did not lose control. I stitched you up quite nicely, bleached the hell out of the kitchen, and then pummeled you roundly on that very countertop.”
I giggled, and he smiled sexily at me, waiting for me to speak. “You did indeed. What do you think stopped you from losing control?”
“You.”
“Interesting, isn’t it? That having me here kept you from losing control with me. How beautifully circular.” I licked my lips.
He watched me, curious.
“Don’t you think it would be the same for me?” I said, leaning back on my elbows.
He kept watching me. Waiting. Wanting to reassure himself that things wouldn’t change when we got home to Forks. Wanting to purge all the images from his head that Carlisle unknowingly planted: images of Aro finding me and taking me to Italy because I couldn’t resist what he needed from me, and worse, images of me giving into Jacob because I couldn’t say no.
“Wouldn’t you think having you and your needs near me would keep me grounded when I’m not in control yet? Regardless of what else is out there.”
His eyes flickered to the side and then back to me. His face relaxed in an instant, understanding pushing away the tension in his expression. He knew what I was saying: that no matter what needs I would come up against while we are figuring this out, he is my rock. He is my gravity. His needs have the strongest pull for me. I would never betray that, I couldn’t betray that no matter what was coming at me. I knew this in my bones.
He took a step towards me, untying his board shorts and pushing them down his hips, letting them fall to the floor. He moved slowly, his eyes on me, understanding what I was telling him to claim.
“I need you to want only me," he whispered, reaching the counter, pushing my legs apart.
“I do, Edward. I could only ever want you. I don’t care where we are, I want you.” I let myself lay back on the cool marble as he pulled me to the edge of the counter, wrapping my legs around his waist.
His hand trailed from my knee to my sex, he lifted his eyes to meet mine. “It sounds possessive, I know," he whispered, his fingers stroking me. “I need this to be mine, only ever mine.”
“There's no question.”
Claim Me via anntastic23
"He pushed into me slowly, his hands moved back to my legs. “And these thighs, and these knees. Only for me.” His voice was so quiet as he let his hands move down my thighs as he began moving, his fingers stroking my clit. “No one else will see this beautiful skin.” I barely heard his whisper.
I moaned at his touch, his eyes looking up at the sound, meeting mine. He smiled, his look was beyond smoldering; my head fell back onto the countertop.
“My hips to grab.”
Oh God yes.
“My belly button," he whispered playfully rubbing his finger inside my small groove. “My ribs to tickle. My beautiful pink nipples to lick,” his fingers pinched my nipples as his hips beginning to slam against my ass. “My neck to bite, Bella, that is my mark on your neck, don’t you ever forget that.”
“Yes," I moaned.
“Those lips… oh, those lips are definitely only mine, love," he growled this at me. “Mine to kiss, bite, suck. And those lips only kiss me, only suck on me. Tell me, Bella. Please.”
“Yours," I breathed. Claim me. I willed him. Do it.
“Yes," he whispered. He threw his head back, moaning, bringing his fingers back to stroke me in time with his thrusting. His eyes met mine again. “My body will be the only flesh besides your own hands to bring you release.”
I was moaning loudly now, my head thrashing against the hard marble has his fingers flew over my sensitive skin. He started just saying my name quietly in time with his movements and the sound of it pushed me to come so hard I slammed my fist down at my side, cracking the marble. Edward didn’t react at the sound; his orgasm followed soon after mine as he pulled out of me and spilled over my stomach, his entire body shaking with his climax.
He stood over me for several minutes as he steadied himself, his fingers running over my thighs, my legs still wrapped around his waist. I found myself breathing hard, propped up on my elbows watching his eyes rove over the body he had just claimed. His semen on me smelled of fresh water, new grass, and salt. It was intoxicating.
“Wow,” I said, smiling.
Kisses via anntastic23
"We stripped out of our swimsuits and crawled under the covers. I knew we wouldn’t make love again before we left, our time in the kitchen was what we wanted to leave for the island to keep safe for us until we returned.
He pulled me to him and kissed me, pressing his lips against mine, letting his mouth slowly open to me, his tongue softly stroking mine. The kisses were passionate, our bodies responded, but we only kissed, for hours. His hands were wrapped in my hair, my arms snaked under his arms and my hands pulled at the hair at the back of his head. He teased me with his mouth, kissing me in small nibbles, letting his tongue tease my lips before pushing into me, deepening the kiss and moaning into my throat."
Encapsulated
"He was suddenly serious, the mood in the room shifted almost tangibly. “The way you looked up at me… It encapsulated everything I find sexy about you: innocence on the surface but hunger beneath. Your quiet willingness to take what you want from me. You have no idea how beautiful you are, but in that moment you felt sexy, I could tell. You didn’t even worry about whether you knew what to do, you just did what felt right and it… it was amazing.”
I stopped breathing, trying to still the way my stomach flew into my chest.
“Bella, I hope you can find that more with me. Find what makes you feel sexy. What makes you feel powerful.”
I didn’t know what to say. I kissed him with everything I had to thank him for saying that, to thank him for our time on the island. I knew anything I said would be woefully inadequate.
“God, I love you," he whispered. I nodded against him, not trusting my voice to be steady in response. Finally, after several quiet moments, he said, “We have to go." He kissed me once softly, then again deeply, moaning into my mouth."
Here We Go 1 via anntastic23
"Edward and I stood on the deck of the boat, Edward behind me, my hips leaning against the railing. The island retreated from our view and after awhile I couldn’t make it out anymore. I leaned my head back against Edward’s chest, sighing, holding his hands against my stomach.
He leaned down to kiss the top of my head. “Here we go," he whispered."
Goodbye Beginning
Review by 4everhis91:
"its so sad to leave the island, but so exciting to see what happens next. this chapter was so sweet and emotional. Saying goodbye and remembering the special times. The lemon and destruction of the kitchen was HOT and WILD and then the chaste sweet ending was beyond. Alice's visions and realizations of facing fears and Edwards raw emotions showed the depths of his love for Bella. In those times where he is so unable to control his overwhelmingly powerful emotions his humanity shines through as a lover, a husband, a true man. You have captured the essence of this true love tale."
Review by kassiah:
"Aw it is bittersweet. I am glad that they are moving on with their lives. I am also so so happy that Edward is taking his place as head of their two-person family. And that Bella is letting him, but also being his partner. I love that Bella knew what he needed, duh that is her power, but knew he needed...her, like she needs him but even more. And that she didn't hesitate to show him that his needs are more important to her than anything else. I know I am way late into this game of ALE, but I really, really love it. And am so happy that Algonquinrt recommended it. And am so grateful that you are writing it. So thank you."
Review by MasenCullen:
"I feel like I just played a game of russian roulette with this chapter. The uncharted territory of Bella's powers are going to test the Cullen's family unity. Edward's needs will always trump anyone or anything, but each member of the Cullen's will play an important part by physically or mentally needing something from Bella. There is always stength in numbers, they always protect their family which will make it practically impossible for Bella to be pulled away from those who need her the most. HER FAMILY! I love the military man side of Jasper, always a southern gentleman with a plan of attack. Where's Emmett in all of this though? Emmett's very protective of his little sis as well. Another question I have is where's Rosalie? We all know her past. Surely she needs something from Bella.
That marble island in the kitchen sure go one hell of a work out. Good thing they don't eat off of it. Well they could if they choose to do so. LMAO (you should really be scared of where my thoughts are wondering right about now) I love this line, "How beautifully circular." That's what Edward & Bella are a circular bond that can't be broken, EVER. "I need you to want only me," "I need this to be mine, only ever mine,"...just the word MINE pushes me over the edge. And Edward, everything that Bella has body, mind and soul is YOURS.
They created such a strong begining on this island it's difficult for me to say goodbye with them. "The living room rug feels like our rug," they so... need to take that rug home with them. A keepsake. LOL They need to put it in their room. Would anyone recognize it? Oh, I think Emmett should. With Emmett being Emmett, hum...Edward spill something about that damn sexy hot rug. I'm begging you PRETTY PLEASE. “Do you remember"...I passionatly love when Edward & Bella are in what they refer to as "our" bed for the last time before leaving the island having an intimate conversation about what they have shared together. "Literally mind-blowing." I'll tell you what's literally mind-blowing your lemony goodness Lola! "“Bella, I hope you can find that more with me. Find what makes you feel sexy. What makes you feel powerful.” PLEASE DO BELLA. Edward NEEDS you have more of that with him. Dear God, what will they do next?"
Great quote via babbles:
“I…I actually can’t really believe you made that joke.” I smiled at him, surprised. - This is funny, old Edward vs new Edward!
“I know. Me either. I am sure I will beat myself up about it later in private while I’m listening to some very morose music.” - LOL!
I laughed hard at this. I loved it when he could make fun of himself. “Well, it goes without saying that you can thrust in my mouth anytime now.”

*Thank you anntastic23 for all of your help on Chapter 8. I heart you.
