Author's note: Their sudden relationship goes very fast. I wanted that to be part of the craving. They knew they loved each other and they are finally admitting it/ I wanted to try something new. If I get good reviews then I'll write another chapter. Just tell me what you think. BTW, Edward is a vampire and Bella is not.

Edward's POV

I stared at the beautiful sleeping girl. I wanted her. I wanted her badly. But this beautiful creature had intense feelings for the revolting Newton kid. That was probably why he was always hanging around her. He was always thinking things that only a boyfriend would thing to his sweetheart. I was pissed. This angel deserved better. I wasn't better, though. I was worse. I was the monster that wanted to kill her. But I was perfect for her. I would be strong and I would protect her from any other danger!

"Edward," she sighed.

I focused myself on her making sure she wasn't awake. She seemed to still be asleep.

She had said my name. Was that a good thing? Was she dreaming or having a nightmare?

"Edward, stay. I love you," her beautiful voice was so clear and inviting. I wanted her more than ever now.

Dawn was about to break to I began to take my leave. With one more glance in her direction I opened the window silently.

"Edward! I just told you that I loved you and you're leaving?" she stated quietly.

Love was filling my body. Was she awake? OR was her sleep talking just very clear tonight?

I turned to look at her and sure enough she was sitting up right on her bed, smiling. I walked over to stand next to her.

"You're not scared?" I asked, confused.

"Why would I be scared?"

"Because I'm in your room; because I'm watching you sleep."

"Why would that scare me?"

"I find it very scary to have a stranger in your room!"

"Then why are you here?"

It took me a minute to answer. "Because I can't stay away."

"Why not?" she asked.

What was with all of these questions? "I don't know." I stated simply.

"Well, I don't want you to stay away," she said as she pulled me onto the bed next to her. Her mouth was right next to my ear and her voice was the faintest whisper. "I love you too much for you to stay away!"

"You don't even know me, Bella!"

"I know you enough to know what I want."

"You don't know nearly enough. Unless you want to fall in love with a monster, you don't love me."

"Maybe that is what I want."

"But it isn't." I replied.

"You're right. It's not. I could never fall in love with a monster. But I could easily fall in love with you."

"But I am a monster!"

"Why would you think that?"

I wanted to tell her. I wanted her to understand. I had to tell her. She had to understand!

"I'm a vampire."

"I know that." She said it like she was stating the obvious.

"What!?" How the hell did she know that?

"I said I know that. Alice told me."

Alice. Why did my sister have to become so close to the human?

"She also told me that you come here a lot. She told me that you loved me." She smiled a perfect smile.

"I do." I said shyly. "But you don't love me because you have Mike. And mike is a hell of a lot better for you than I am."

"Mike!? You think I'm with Mike? Ha!"

"Aren't you?"

"No! Never! Mike is much too clingy for me. Have you noticed how much he hangs around me? He can be really annoying sometimes."

"Oh, I thought the reason he was around you was because you were together."

"No, I don't like him like that."

"Oh," was all I could say.

This beautiful girl here, next to me, loved me. She loved me. I loved her. I wrapped my arms around her and she leaned her head against my chest. We stayed that way for a long time. The only sounds were Charlie's roaring snores, her beating heart, and our slow steady breathing. I wondered if she had fallen asleep so I asked if she was awake.

"Bella, are you awake?"

"Yeah," she sounded tired.

"You should be sleeping. I'm keeping you form your rest. I should go…" even though I didn't like the thought of leaving, it was better for her if I did.

"No, don't go," she said quietly.

"Then you need to sleep." I got up faster than her eyes could follow and placed her placing her down under the covers. She giggled.

"What's so funny?"

"Alice told me about your kind's speed. I never saw it first-hand. It's kind of cool."

"Thank you," I said wholeheartedly.

"Edward, can you do me a favor?" she sounded…shy.

"Anything."

"Will…will you kiss me?"

I didn't know what to say. I had never actually kissed anyone before. I wanted to kiss her but I wasn't sure how. I wasn't sure if I was strong enough.

"Um, okay…"

I leaned into her slowly. I placed my lips softly on hers. It was so easy. I would have thought the burning fire would be smoldering my throat, but the pain disappeared all together. She wrapped her arms around my neck pulling me closer to her. I cupped my hands around her face. She sat up and threw herself more forcefully into the kiss. And I wanted her closer. I put one hand on the small of her back and brought her closer to me. She unwound her arms from my neck and went for my shirt. I let her undo the first two buttons at her own pace before I got impatient and tore my shirt from myself. What had gotten into me? I couldn't let this happen. Her dad was in just the other room, but I didn't want her to stop. I was being satisfied. I only wanted her more and more as each second ticked by.

She let her hands slide down the planes of my chest. She seemed to approve. I wanted to smile but I was to busy watching her remove her shirt from her perfect figure. I let myself tackle her so I was completely on top of her. She let her tongue linger on the shape of my lips. I sighed at the remarkable feelings. Her breath was so sweet. Her smell was floral and amazing. The taste of her blood would probably be just as delicious as it smelled – or better.

No! These thoughts were not allowed. I was suddenly more enthusiastic in our kiss. Our first kiss. If this was our first kiss, I wonder what our next one would be like.

I wanted her to sleep. I made myself pull away.

"Time for bed, Love."

She scowled and kissed me once more then pulled away. She was too much to resist so I pulled her back to me. Kissing her forcefully and she kissed me back.

"Dammit, Bella, you're too much for me to bear."

"Good." And she pulled me to her again. After a couple of seconds I forced myself with a lot of effort to pull away.

"You should really get some rest. There will be plenty of time tomorrow. It's Saturday." I stated. I was surprised at how much I looked forward to tomorrow. I could have her again.

"Fine. But I'm only sleeping to make you happy." She said firmly.

I lay down next to her, waiting for her to drift into unconsciousness. About an hour after she had fallen asleep, she situated herself so her head was relaxing on my chest. I wanted this moment to last forever.
