I Love You

I didn’t hear his response if he ever answered me because all my senses were robbed when my mind-

shattering climax arrived and claimed me whole. I clenched my pussy tightly around his cock, feeling it hot and hard against the whole length of my love hole as I moaned and whimpered when my climax hit me.

I was panting hard and my whole body was slick with our combined sweat when I returned to earth from my epic orgasm. It felt awesome to climax after not having sex for so long. From the loud and passionate moans that Edward was making, I could tell that he was very close to his release. I pumped my hips up and down a little to assist his hard thrusts in and out of my hole until finally Edward climaxed.

I watched and marveled at the sexy sight of Edward crying out my name in his moment of release before I felt his hot seed spurt deep inside of my core. His large cock twitched inside of me as my pussy clenched around his cock, milking him dry of his hot release.

After he caught his breath, Edward slowly withdrew his member from my body and placed me back on the sofa so that I could rest. After a short while, Edward carefully carried me up in his arms. I reflexively swung my arms around his neck as he carried me princess style.

“Where are we going?” I asked, slightly worried.

“To bed…” Edward answered concisely.

…

When I woke up, it must have been close to dawn. I haven’t slept this well in such a long time. I opened my eyes and found Edward looking at me and wondered how long he had been looking at me this way.

“How long have you been awake?” I asked shyly.

“Not long…” He replied. His hand reaching out to tuck a loose strand of hair behind my ear.

I wondered if he ever answered my question.

“Edward…about what I asked…” I began asking my question once again.

Rosenhalls are not allowed to marry the person of their own choosing. This meant that most, if not all, arranged marriages were loveless and purely for business gains. I didn’t want to be in a loveless marriage, and I didn’t want Edward to be caught up in a loveless marriage either.

It was sad enough to see the people I loved bounded in a loveless marriage. My mother, Lucien and Zak…

“Do you honestly think that I would do all this for you if I didn’t love you even a tiny bit?” Edward asked rhetorically.

“I…” I struggled to reply. I guess…he was right.

“You asked me before what I would gain if I married you. Getting to marry the woman I love is gaining plenty,” Edward said so passionately that I felt tears of joy sting my eyes.

“Oh…Edward,” I whispered his name. I didn’t know what else to say.

“I love you, Natalia. Let’s get married,” Edward said firmly, and I could sense his honesty and the love behind his words.

“I love you too, Edward,” I replied shyly as I smiled at him genuinely.

Edward smiled at me and kissed my check before opening a drawer next to the bed. When he turned back to face me, he had a velvet dark blue ring box in his hand.

“Will you marry me, Natalia?” Edward proposed sounding so romantic that I almost couldn’t control my happiness.

For reasons that I couldn’t comprehend, I felt warm tears spill down my cheeks as I started to sob and cry.

“Yes. Yes, Edward, I will marry you,” I replied firmly, sealing our promise to spend the rest of our lives together.

Edward let out a small laugh and a sigh of relief as he slipped the diamond ring that he had prepared on my ring finger before kissing the back of my hand. It was clear that Edward had not spared any expenses on the ring. The round-shaped diamond was huge, and it was surrounding by a diamond halo in such a classic design. I couldn’t have dreamt of a more perfect ring from Edward.

“We’re probably the first Rosenhall in history to marry for love,” Edward stated his observation with a little laugh.

I laughed along with him, and it felt like the weight of the world had been lifted off my shoulders even if it was just temporary. I knew that the path ahead for us wouldn’t be lined with red petals of roses, but I felt so assured to walk that path if I had Edward by my side.

Morning came much sooner than I would’ve preferred. As I watched Edward sound asleep next to me on the bed, I made up my mind to commit my life to being a good wife to him. We may have started our relationship in very non-conventional ways but that doesn’t mean that we cannot have a loving and everlasting marriage.

I didn’t know back then if I would become successful in my endeavor, but I swore to myself that I would make Edward happy…or die trying.

“You’re always right. So right that I hate it sometimes,” I complaint jokingly as I stepped foot off the ship and onto the solid ground of the harbor.

“I told you, didn’t I? Before you step off this ship, you would’ve already agreed to be my wife,” Edward said proudly before ruffling my hair and walking off ahead.

“Edward!” I called after him.

“What?” Edward replied as he turned to face me.

“I’ll try my best to be a good wife,” I said softly.

I truly meant every word that I said. After all that Edward had done for me, with and without my knowledge, all I could do for him was to commit to be a good wife. I remembered how our relationship started and I felt heat rushing to my face. I never dreamt that we would be here today. We’ve come so far from the day that Edward seduced me into having sex with him in his office.

“...just be yourself,” Edward replied casually after pondering a little for his response.
