The first time they made love, Bella had curled up in his arms, as sweet and innocent as an angel. She was too sleepy to pull the covers around herself, so he just stared down at her, unable to believe his luck.
Bella was a dream that he never thought would come true, that anyone so pure and trusting would be his.
And so, so beautiful.
Not just her silky brunette hair like a fairy tale princess or the lush pink skin, so hot under his touch, or the way her eyes burned with fire when he suckled at the point just below her earlobe, but her beautiful heart, and soul, that just shined from the inside out.
She was the first and only person he has ever loved.
She was untouchable, she was the Chief's daughter — and it made it safe to love her from afar for so many summers. But when she moved to Forks, he'd gotten to know her and the reality was miles better than any fantasy he could have dreamed.
