"Mmmm," Bella moaned, "Edward, Charlie's going to be home soon. You might want to lea-"
Edward interrupted, "Move this to a different location?" Bella shrugged, trying to make it seem nonchalant, but failing because he could tell she wanted him right now. From their position on her living room couch, he picked her and carried her bride-style to her bedroom. How much he regretted it all; being a vampire, a constant danger to the only girl he ever loved. After his brief stint at insanity and leaving her behind, Edward had learned a lesson. He had realized that even though he loved her more than what was easily comprehensible and wanted to protect her from everything, even himself, being without her would be more dangerous for both of them than being together.
Although, right now, with his Bella under him, hair tousled, lips slightly pink from the cold of his light kisses, he couldn't desire anything else in the world more than he desired her body right now. He didn't even feel the familiar yearning for her blood. He kissed her again, but more forcefully and with purpose. He wanted to pour out all the love he had for her in one kiss, but of course it couldn't be done.
Bella moaned in satisfaction, kissing him back with more insistence. She didn't know what was going on with ever-prudent Edward, but whatever was making him lose his usually rigid self-control, she didn't mind so much. 'Speak of the devil and the devil shall come,' Bella thought bitterly as Edward suddenly did go physically rigid.
"I'm sorry Edward, but you were getting more physical so I thought, well I don't know," she trailed off miserably. But Edward quietly put one of his long and elegant finger to her lips and whispered so softly she could barely hear.
"Don't move, don't even breathe. I can smell someone, someone different and I don't know if they are dangerous or not," Bella felt lightgning bolt of fear go through her heart as a quick, irrational flickering thought of Victoria's flaming red hair shot through her mind. Edward got up silently and left her room, creeping down the stair and around the corner to her kitchen until she could no longer see any part of him from her position on the bed.
For the first time in a long time, she felt a genuine fear at the thought of a vampire stalking her house.
