“I’m sorry” he murmured into my lips. He remained motionless, giving my body time to adjust before withdrawing some. He trailed his finger down my cheek as my face flushed red, not from embarrassment, but arousal.

I gasped at the burning need coursing through me and all I wanted at that moment was for him to shove himself back into me, not worry about my comfort. "Edward, please. Don't stop. I want this…more than anything. Make love to me. Now!" I begged as I moved my hips upward impatiently.

His uncertainly washed away at the sound of my desperate pleadings. He grabbed my hips holding them motionless as he thrust into me in one quick movement.

I awoke to his naked form wrapped tightly around me, his cool fingers tracing circles on my abdomen. My eyes roamed over the room that I’d completely ignored last night. It was all done in rich, dark woods with black carpeting. There were candle holders surrounding the bed. No windows to tell me whether it was day or night.

“She wakes,” his velvety voice broke through my musings as he rained kisses from my temple to chin.

“And what did you do while I slumbered?” I teased.

“I watched the most amazing vision: A fallen angel surrounded by a spill of golden satin sheets crying my name softly in her restless sleep,” he murmured into my lips.

Before I got distracted by round two, I asked, “Edward, where the hell are we?”

He laughed the sound vibrating against my back. “BostonHarbor on our yacht. I didn’t want any interruptions. The rest of the family is moving into our new house in New Hampshire.”

“Mmmm,” I acknowledged as I ran my hands over arms that held me so very close to him. “And when will we be expected?”

He turned me towards him feasting on my bare breasts. “Not for a few more days.”

Originally titled Renovations

Carlisle was getting everything ready when Edward brought me in. We were in the basement of our new home. Although there were no houses nearby, no neighbors to hear my screams, they’d insisted on doing my transformation here because it was soundproof. The soundproofing made this windowless space confining and my pulse pounded as claustrophobia took me. Edward didn’t even glance at me, even though my pulse was thundering. Carlisle glided toward me and placed a comforting hand on my shoulder. It helped ease my fear and I began inspecting the odd room.
