A

Midnight
Swim
By: Maggie Higareda

The scene below is based in the novel by Stephenie

Meyer, Breaking Dawn. This is an extension of
Edward and Bella’s first night of their honeymoon
in chapter “Isle Esme,” in my own perspective.
Page 85 of Breaking Dawn:
 “Forever,” he agreed, and then pulled us
gently into deeper water.

He pressed his lips against mine and slowly

every kiss became much deeper than the other. My
body shivered but not from nervousness. My body
shivered because it felt the urgency to have his
perfect body pressed against mine.
“Hold me closer, please,” I murmured.
Edward’s hands reacted immediately.
Suddenly, I felt every muscle, every part of his
glorious body pressed against mine. A soft moan
escaped from my throat, and he held me tighter in
response. All signs of holding back were vanished
now.
Edward moved his lips to my throat and I could
feel his cold breath caressing my chest. Slowly, he
moved to my collarbone and back again to my lips.
In a sudden move, Edward lifted me from the waist
to overcome the difference in height. My body
separated from his’ for a second and then again,
he held me tight against him.
I made sure my hands and my senses
registered his face, his eyes, his expressions, his
skin, his mouth-watering scent, his silhouette, his
muscles, his aroused groin and every minimal
movement he made. All the time, astonished of
Edward’s perfection. Having him nude and
touching my body was the best satisfaction I could
ever get in life.
“Breathe,” he murmured as he leaned his face
to my chest. I never imagined the pleasure I felt as
he began kissing and caressing my breasts with his
lips. I gripped his hair as hard as I could in
response.
A moment ago, I was in need of oxygen but as
Edward fervently stroked my body, I realized I was
panting. This seemed to arouse him more.
His hand moved down from my waist, molding
around the shape of my buttocks and stopped as
he grasped my right inner thigh. I flinched in
response and opened my eyes. Edward’s eyes
were on me and held an appealing look that
ranged from excitation to yearning.
His expression was the catalyst to my body and
mind. My heart thumped wildly and my blood
boiled inside my veins. Embarrassment was the
last thing in my mind as I said the unlikely.
“I want to be yours, completely…I want you
inside me!” I moaned.
He placed his other hand on my left thigh and
molded my legs to his waist. We were both panting
now.
“You really want to do this Bella?” he moaned.
I nodded without hesitation.
 “I desire this too,” he chuckled. As gentle as
ever, his hand ventured into my nether lips.
“Edward,” I moaned. “I love you.” My mind
wandering in heaven.
“Bella, my love, you are the meaning of my
existence,” he murmured in my ear.
I felt a stinging pain as he introduced his
member for the first time inside me. It made me
shiver, but it was a tolerable pain. His caress made
it easier, as he gently moved his body against mine
in a rhythm.
As time passed by, the pain eased, leaving a
feeling of fervent satisfaction coming to a
crescendo. My insides were burning, craving for
Edward’s body. I wanted to stay like this as long as
we could.
Edward bursted into me, making me shockingly
excited. At this moment, I could feel every little
movement his and my body made. I grew more
sensitized to his touch. I felt every finger of his
hands caress my entire body.
His cool breath against my face. Our breathing
never relaxed. In the contrary, audible moans and
pants escaped from our throats growing louder
each moment. Until I got to the highest point, I felt
as if I was going to explode with satisfaction.
 My Greek God Edward had taken me to
heaven, to our personal heaven. We stood still,
embracing each other, as our breaths evened. A
sense of peace washed through me. Trying to
describe what had just happened seemed
impossible. It was like I had been turning in circles
many times and felt the tickling in my stomach and
dizziness after stopping, but a million times more
potent.
“Bella, I-I… want to make love to you again,”
he murmured, embarrassed.
“Did you read my mind Edward? I chuckled. “I
want you to make love to me, as many times as
you want.”
“You are mine then, and I am yours… I will do
whatever pleases you,” he said with a wicked
smile.
He kissed me passionately and the darkness
disappeared behind, we were on top of the bed in
less than a second. Edward and I made love again
and again until tiredness overwhelmed my mind
and body.
Could an ordinary human like me, be blessed
with such joy? Maybe God had given me the
chance to have my heaven in this life, because
Edward was definitely an angel fallen from heaven.
