Her chest rose and fell evenly with each breath she took. She looked peaceful, as she slumbered. Her curly brown hair sprayed around her face like a halo making her look like an angel to anyone who saw her. Her lips were slightly ajar as she slept, and her nose was furled up as she inhaled and exhaled deeply from it. She was perfect when she slept even more so then when she was awake. There was no pain, heartache or distress in her face. She was in her own world in the dreamlike state she was in. And thus she was able to sleep peacefully with no thought of any harm coming to her. I had promised her mother that I wouldn't allow any harm to come to her daughter and I was doing a good job at that. I could stand outside her door all night, in order to protect her but I knew her mother, my wife, was waiting for me in the bedroom.

I closed the door slowly so that it would click softly and therefore not awaken her from her slumber. I had no intention of letting her know that I had been watching her as she slept. Making sure to use every single one of my supernatural senses, I made myself as quiet as possible as I stepped away from the now closed door. When I felt I was far away that my movement would not disturb her, I began my descent down the hallway in direction of my new destination: her mother's room.

It only took a couple of seconds for me to arrive in the doorway of her mother's room. Her mother sat up against the headboard, a plush black bedrest kept her upright as her eyes, hidden behind wide reading glasses, were glued to the book in her hand. The room was faintly lit by only the light on her night table. Her long brown hair pulled back into a high ponytail which allowed me to see the vein in her neck pulse as the blood circulated in her body keeping her alive.

Humans were fragile, soft creatures. Much unlike their counterparts, the supernatural beings I belonged too. I calculated that it would take three seconds for me to lunge across the room and have her neck in my mouth as I feasted on her blood to satisfy me. She would not feel any pain, I would have sprung on her sooner and faster than her human brain would be able to process what had happened. She could be dead, in a matter of seconds if I wanted.

I watched her bend the fold of the page she was reading and place the book on the night table besides her. She took the glasses off her face and folded them nicely on top of the book she previously held. In a clumsy but still graceful way only she knew how to make, she pulled her legs up to her chest and used her hands to hug them tight thus keeping them locked in place. All of this was done in what would seem like a matter of seconds to a human but would be the equivalent of a century to someone who had fast reflexes like I did.

"Come to bed with me?" She spoke timidly almost as if she was a child. A child who feared that I would say no to her response, as if I would balk in response. I would not deny her this request or any request that she could or would ask of me. She knew this. She was aware. However years of low self-esteem, sadness and incredible hurt still plagued her and for that reason she was also conscience of the things she asked of me.

I did not speak as I closed the distance between the two of us so that our faces were as close as they could possibility be without touching. I could see the shiver in her body and I smelt the faint smell of lust as her body became aroused at the short distance between us. I allowed my left hand to trace from her hips, to her abdomen, up past her shoulder until it landed on her cheek. She sighed deeply in content as her body relaxed even more at my touch.

I parted my mouth and I could smell the decadent scent that her body produced naturally. I could almost taste her liquid that I had previously savored and enjoyed during late nights and early mornings. A liquid that I recently had the opportunity to sample this morning before she had to leave for sighed deeply and I could sense that she too was imagining and thinking of me in the same manner that I was thinking of her. Her head rose until we were meeting face-to-face Her lips a short distance away from mine that I longed to cross.

"Breathe". Her lips parted at my request as she remembered that she was human unlike me, and she needed the air. I held in a chuckle as I watched her struggle to remain control of her body as she participated in such a mundane human task. I found myself memorized as I watched her body rise with the influx of the oxygen she had inhaled.

"Let's go to bed." Her voice was shaky and I was unable to determine if that was because of her lack of oxygen or her fear of rejection that prevented her from speaking in confidence.

"Lets." I whispered as I closed the distance between her lips and mine, playing close attention to making sure that I was gentle in my kissing with her. I felt her body react as I knew it would, her hands slowly making their way to my hands where they would become entangled as we moved ourselves into a more comfortable position. I broke the kiss slowly and moved my lips directly over the vein her neck that I had previously been eyeing.

"Edward." The word escaped her mouth softly much quieter than any human could hear and sounded more like a moan than an actual attempt at words on her part. I felt a dominant part of me arise in anticipation of the act we were going to commit.

"Yes my love?" I said each word in between kisses on her neck and collarbone making sure to give each exposed part of her body attention in the way I knew she liked it.

"Edward. I want you. Please." The words came out of her mouth strained as her attention was now focused on my assault on her ears, slowly nipping them. Making sure that I was careful not to glaze them with the venom-coated teeth my mouth contained.

"And I want you, Bella."
