He nodded. “You will be mine, Victoria. All of you will be mine, and I will be yours.”
She wrapped her arms around his neck as he reached down between them and took his length in his hand. He lined himself up with her entrance and held her gaze as he slowly began to push into her. Victoria clenched her teeth at the initial stretch. It hurt, but she had expected that. Edward went slow, easing into her a little bit at a time.
“Almost there,” he whispered, placing a gentle kiss on her forehead.
She nodded and winced but did not cry out or try to stop him. At last, he was seated fully inside her. He paused and peppered her face with kisses as he stroked her cheeks and hair.
“Does it hurt?” he asked softly.
Victoria swallowed and answered, “A bit, but it is getting better. Just…just give me a moment.”
He held himself still for several moments more, giving her a chance to grow used to him. She released a long breath and nodded up at him, letting him know he could begin to move again.
He slowly pulled back until he was almost out of her completely, and then he eased forward once more. Victoria released a small moan as there was a spark of pleasure that pushed through the pain.
He did it again with a slight bit more force. Victoria arched her back, pushing her hips into his. As if spurred on by her movements. Edward moved in and out of her faster and faster. Tears pricked the corners of her eyes as her body was overwhelmed with sensation, and her heart felt as though it were swelling with so much love for the man above her she thought it might burst.
“Victoria,” he gasped, his eyes closed and his expression one of pure bliss. “You feel so good. So perfect.As if you were made for me.”
“Edward,” Victoria whimpered. “I…I am getting close again….”
“I am, too,” he replied, burying his face against her neck. “I cannot hold myself back for much longer.”
“I do not want you to,” she gasped, hugging him tighter to her. “I never want you to hold back with me, Edward. Give me everything that you are. Please…”
With a harsh growl, Edward bucked and pressed into her with more force, reaching his peak and flooding her with his release. Victoria threw back her head and followed him over the edge, crying out as her body spasmed and shook in ways she could not control.
It was some time before she became fully aware of herself again. She lay in Edward’s arms, his panting breaths brushing over her hair. She felt safe and warm. Cherished.
Loved.
“Are you all right?” he asked in a soft tone.
She slowly nodded. “Yes…more than all right. It was amazing, Edward. Not at all like I thought it would be.”
“How did you think it would be?” he asked with a small smile.
Grinning shyly, she shrugged and replied, “Well…I thought there would be more pain, for one thing. There was a bit, but…but it was easily overcome.”
“I am glad for that,” he murmured, pressing a gentle kiss on the tip of her nose. “I wanted it to be pleasant for you.”
“It most definitely was,” she giggled softly, her cheeks heating with a blush. “It was wonderful, really.”
Grinning, he kissed her lips, the contact lingering for several moments.
At length, he whispered, “We should probably go to our beds. Someone might catch us if we linger too long.”
Victoria nodded. “You are right. We should go.”
Truthfully, she did not want to go. She wanted to stay there in his arms for the rest of the night, but she knew it was impossible. If they were caught in such a position together, she would be in a great amount of trouble. Most likely, she would be dismissed from her post.
Still, leaving the warmth and security of his arms felt as though she were leaving her contentment and happiness behind with him. They stood, and Edward helped her to dress. Once they were presentable again, or as presentable as they were going to be for the middle of the night, they made their way out of the library.
Before Victoria turned to head to her room, Edward grabbed her hand and pulled her back toward him. Wrapping his arm around her waist, he lowered his mouth to hers in a sizzling kiss that left her breathless.
When they parted, Edward murmured, “Good night. Dream of me.”
Panting softly, Victoria softly replied, “I…I will.”
