"Do it, Edward," I said closing my eyes and holding out my arm.

"Bella, are you sure? Are you absolutely positive?" Edward grabbed my extended hand and kissed it.

"Edward, I have never been more positive about anything in my whole life." I kissed his lips lightly. "I love you, Edward, and I want this really bad."

"Bella..." He held me for a few minutes. I loved the feeling of his cold, hard chest against my face. "Bella, I don't want to put you through so much pain. It will kill me to see it."

"I know, Edward, but just remember that I want it bad enough for the pain." I pushed away from him and looked into his golden eyes. "I'm not worried just as long as you hunted before this."

"Yes...I hunted, but I'm still worried."

"I trust you."

"I wouldn't."

"Well, I do. Now hurry so I can get this over with," I held out my arm again. "Anywhere on my arm is fine."

Edward sighed. He held my arm for a second, running his fingers over my wrist, and then the crease of my elbow. He took a deep breath, even though he didn't really need it.

"I'm going to hate this," he said with worried eyes.

"I know, but you have to get over it."

"Fine. Look away, Bella." He lowered his face to my forearm, and as his teeth started to break my skin, the burning sensation was almost too much to bear.
