Hi everyone!

This is my debut story, but I'm not going to babble at the start so I will let you read and talk some more at the bottom!

I hope you all enjoy!

Temptation

PROLOGUE

It was a stand off.

Their breathing, although somewhat angry and confused, was filled more with passion than anything else.

She stared at him, wondering why she'd gotten such a harsh reaction when she entered the flat that afternoon.

She knew he didn't want her here. Was that why he was so angry at her?

And that's exactly what she asked him.

He seemed floored by her question. His eyes widened and she watched as his Adam's apple bobbed up and down nervously.

For a smart guy like him, she thought he'd be able to form a few words together.

And then, he did.

"You went out with your College friends. You never text your brother to say where you were. You... You stayed out all night."

He sounded like her father.

She couldn't answer for a moment, so instead she just stared at him for a little while.

He shouldn't be shouting at her like this.

He was her brother's best friend, her brother's flat mate.

She was staying at their apartment while her own got the repairs it needs.

But that gave him no right to treat her like this.

After all, he hated her.

From the moment she walked into the apartment and thanked him for letting her stay, he loathed her.

He'd huff if she took a cup of his coffee in the morning.

He'd stare at her textbooks if she left them around the flat.

He'd even stare at her as she laughed at TV shows in order to get her to shut up.

Her anger, though always present around him, suddenly bubbled over.

"How dare you!" She shouted, causing him to take a slight step back at her sudden outburst.

"S-sorry?" He stuttered.

She was speaking back to him?

But she was so quiet. So fragile.

"If I want to go out with my friends for the night then I will! I don't live here! I'm staying here for another week or two and then I'm gone. And even still, you'd have no right to question where I am! Even my brother hasn't done it because he knows I can take care of myself and I'm a fucking adult!"

It was the most she'd ever said to him at once, and he felt that all too familiar pull bringing him towards her.

Normally he could stop himself from going near her.

Even when she caught him looking at her textbooks to try and get a snippet of her brain, or when he found himself staring at her as she threw her head back at laughed at stupid TV shows... He always managed to stay away.

After all, she was his best friend's little sister.

But after last night... After she disappeared and didn't come home.

His mind was running ragged.

"Where were you?" He questioned sternly, taking a step in her direction and noticing as her eyes flicked angrily from the floor to meet his own.

"Is that any of your business?"

That was exactly what he didn't want to hear.

She was hiding something.

"Where you with someone? A guy?"

At this, she blinked in shock.

No. She wasn't with a guy. He could see it in her eyes.

"No." She whispered, but only because his question clearly seemed absolutely absurd to her.

He didn't speak, instead they just stared at each other as her expression went from angry to confused.

And his own expression grew with longing and fear.

"Why did you just ask me that?" She wondered aloud.

He gritted his teeth, his breathing stopping altogether as he stared at her.

He didn't blink once.

"You're like home." He admitted with a breath.

Almost as if a last breath.

"Home?" Her gentle tone, that one he loved to listen to, compelled him to speak further.

"When you're here... It feels right... I don't like it when..." His words trailed off, and she watched as the clouds began to take over his face.

He was shutting it out.

"Don't like it when what?" Instinctively, she took a minature step foward.

Although she was a full head smaller than him, he felt as if she overpowered him. He looked down at her, watching as her milky pale skin blushed under his gaze. Her eyes were warm, inviting him in like always. And her lips, those lips he'd dreamt about since the moment she'd walked in to this apartment.

"I don't like it when you're not here." The words came out of his mouth without thinking.

But there was so much on his mind he couldn't control his verbal filter.

This was so wrong.

She was his best friend's little sister.

He was 30 years old. She was only 21.

He had a career. She had College textbooks and a part time job.

He had a life... While she just had him.

She had him.

Completely. Utterly.

He tried to fight it for too long, and he just couldn't do it anymore.

How could something so wrong, feel so right?

He finally understood what all those stupid rom-coms his ex's used to watch were all about.

He had to do it.

Perhaps even just once. Just to feel it, just to understand it.

And then he'd be happy.

While he attempted, in his own head to make this decision, she watched with a growing churning in her stomach that he was at war in his own mind.

She could see it in his eyes.

Those deep green eyes that held so much she didn't understand, but wanted so desperately to know. His gorgeous face looked almost pained, and his breathing was laboured as emotions flitted across his features.

He moved closer to her, only a little... But her heart leapt in time with her gasp.

Part of him was almost in pain, as if that part of him didn't want to be here at this moment in time.

That part of him wanted to be far away where everything was safe and right.

But the stronger part of him was winning. And that half of him looked like passion, affection, and an unquestionable desire.

It was then, as she read these emotions on his face, she knew that he was going to kiss her.

So I really hope you guys enjoyed! Obviously as it's a Prologue it is a lot shorter than the chapters will be.

First of all, I want to explain that the story will focus around Edward and Bella and there will be chapters from BOTH POV'S.

Also, we will begin our story just before Bella arrives at Edward and Emmett's apartment, and continue on through to our ending.This story is a ROMANCE, with a good few LEMONS both affectionate and steamy (including angry sex).

Please please please leave a review if you've enjoyed this Prologue, like the plot, and will continue to read the story!

There's really no point in me posting numerous chapters every week if no one is going to read!

Please show your support and review!
