Obsidian Thirst
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters, and so on…
Summary: Bella will stop at nothing to become a vampire. She pushes Edward too far one night, and regrets her decision.
Her heart was beating erratically, and her breaths was coming in short gasps. No matter how many times Edward kissed her, Bella will never get used to the sensation. Her senses were being drowned in a tumult of emotions, rushing blood, and a distinct primitive need as his sweet breath washed over her. But the fleeting touch of his cold, granite lips against her own was never enough. Bella always thirsted for more, but Edward would always restrain her—and himself. They couldn't risk more than a few chaste kisses and innocent touches, for the fear that someone will get hurt. However, Bella didn't care about the dangers anymore. She wanted to feel, and she yearned desperately for more than just a touch or a caress. That yearning was building up deep within the pits of her stomach, and it was growing into an immortal fire, raging wildly and out of control. Bella needed Edward. She wanted him.
oOoOo
Edward was feeling conflicted on many levels. Bella was making it harder for him to resist her. For every kiss that he would steal from her, she would always seize the opportunity to jump on him and ravish his mouth. As much as he wanted to explore the warm, cavernous depths of her delicate mouth, and taste the exquisite silkiness of her tongue, he was unable to. If he were to open his mouth to her, the paralysing and deadly venom lining his teeth would surely kill her. The depths of this implication hit him hard with a painful pang, and made him close his eyes as he tried to imagine life without Bella. The guilt tumbled upon him as he thought of being the one responsible for her death.
'No. I can't do this. I will not kill her. I cannot become the monster that lives inside me.' Edward thought feverishly. He would never forgive himself if anything ever happened to Bella.
"Edward?" Bella questioned. He seemed to be lost in painful thoughts, as his brows furrowed and a dark grimace marred his beautiful features. Edward looked up, and took in a deep breath of the heady, floral scent that was unexplicately Bella. She was beautiful, in every sense of the word. He took in her womanly figure sitting comfortably on his black leather couch. She was wearing a light blue woolen sweater that fell off her shoulders gracefully, and that exposed an enormous amount of her pale neck and shoulders to his inviting golden eyes. His eyes caressed over the contours of her curves, down to her long pale smooth legs that were exposed from underneath a white sensible skirt that had a pretty flower pattern adorning the hem.
"Hmm?", answered Edward absentmindedly.
"You still haven't answered my question", Bella replied tersely. "When will you change me?".
'Damn', thought Edward. He thought the kiss would distract her, make her forget about the impossible request she was demanding of him. "Bella", started Edward. "The answer is no. Ask me to give you anything else, but this."
Bella was frustrated. There is nothing more that she can want than to become a vampire—to be with Edward forever. She will grow old, become wrinkled, ugly, and eventually die. But Edward will remain as an immortal beauty, and she knew that with time, his love for her will wane. Her mind was set, and resolute. Nothing will stop her from achieving her desires. She will do anything to be with Edward Cullen forever—even if it meant risking her life.
