Chapter 2: Heat Wave
EPOV:
There were many thoughts running around everyone's minds. Emmett and Alice were excited; Carlisle and Esme were intrigued and curious; Jasper was worried; Tanya and Rosalie were bored; and me well I was mess. I was completely flustered and slowly growing angry because of it. I'm typically more composed than this and for the first time in forever I feel like I don't have it all together.
Eventually after we gave our family the rundown of our little hunting excursion, I managed to keep everyone's thoughts at bay while I filled my head with her.
I could finally see her more clearly in my head. At the time I was too awestruck to really pay any attention; a first I might add. But now I can see her, she was petite but very curvaceous, perfect hour glass figure. Quite well proportioned with silky brown wavy hair that went almost to her lower back, beautiful pale skin, which I'm betting is so smooth. Her eyes of course were big and a beautiful deep blue; they remind me of the blue ocean along Greece. She had a beautiful facial structure with defined cheek bones and jaw-line. Her lips plump and kissable, she was perfect from top to bottom.
I think I know what heaven looks like now. I'm so screwed…
Something was bothering me though. More like a nagging feeling in the back of my mind. I was so distracted by her presence that I missed a few things that were slowly coming to light.
First would be the very visible scratches she had everywhere. They didn't look new; more like weeks old which means she was healing. Secondly she had blue eyes. The only other vampire I know that has different colored eyes beside vegetarian's vampires is Heidi. But her eyes are violet. Thirdly her scent was different. It was confusing because we got the sense that she was a vampire but in the same time it felt as though she was something else entirely; maybe part human. And the fourth, well I wasn't even sure about. There is no way it could be true.
Especially if she is a vampire, who I'm almost positive she is. But why do I feel as though she had a hea-…
'Edward, what is it? I'm getting a weird vibe coming off of you. Among other things.' Jasper pulled me out of my own musings and gave me a pointed look at the end of that statement.
Great he knows now about my somewhat not so gentlemanly feelings toward my blue eyed goddess. Oh crap, stop that right now…
I looked over at Jasper who was now crossing his arms over his chest. He lifted one eyebrow, with a sly smirk on his face and then proceeded to bob his head up and down.
Crap.
I cleared my throat and avoided eye contact with him, instead directing my attention to my family who were all gathered in the living room.
"Can I have your attention, please" Tanya then looked over at me giving me the I-want-to-rip-of-all-your-clothes- and-devour- you look. Everyone got quiet and started looking at me strangely. All the while Jasper was trying to hold back his laughter.
Great, how embarrassing they can all smell my arousal now. Dammit knock it off Jasper you're not helping matters.
I shot Jasper a death glare, because he was only heightened my already aroused state. How embarrassing would it be if I suddenly started dry humping the air. He knocked it off thankfully enough and I was trying to re-focus on the matter at hand.
"Having a problem there Eddie boy?" Emmett shot me a knowing glance.
I completely ignored him.
"Look, I'm not sure about what I'm about to say. If you disagree then we can chalk it all up to the fact that I'm probably losing my mind finally," Jasper found it hilarious to add commentary.
"You can say that again." I shot him a glare and he shut up.
"What is it son?" Even Carlisle along with my whole family was trying to keep back their laughter except for Tanya. She was completely perplexed; she was under the delusion I wanted to ravage her.
"Look, I'm not positive but I recall that when we were in the forest, I almost felt as if I could hear…" I let out a sigh and started rubbing the back of my neck, "I felt that I could hear a heartbeat, it was very faint I'm positive it was coming from her. I think that-"at that moment my father and Jasper both gasped.
"I thought I was just hearing things as well. I was so paranoid at the time because I couldn't feel anything coming from her and then suddenly I had no control over my power. But I think I heard it too, which has to be impossible", Jasper heard it too and now we were all looking at Carlisle for answers.
"I heard it as well, but like you Jasper I didn't really pay too much attention. I think we all agree that she is a vampire or something within that family. I've never heard of any other supernatural beings other than us Vampires. Well werewolves would fall in that category but they are extinct. Oh and the Quileute wolves but even then they are still human." Carlisle was completely lost like the rest of us.
"Look I think we should stay close to home and be alert. Watch out for any strange activity. Tanya I'm not sure if I want to alert your family quite yet until I know what we're dealing with, so please keep this to yourself until further notice. I don't want anyone hunting alone; that goes for you Edward. I'm going to look at some books on old folklore and legends and see if something pops up. We can only hope that she isn't dangerous and that she was just passing through." My heart hurt at the latter part of that statement and I could tell from the Carlisle that he hoped it wasn't true as well. He saw it as an opportunity to learn something new.
"Don't you think we should at least go back and see if I could find her, I mean I don't think she meant us any harm? Look we are still alive here and she might need help. She had claw marks all over her" I needed to go back. I had to try and find her. I had no idea what I would even say to her if I did find her. But I had this pulling feeling in me, telling me to go back. I knew I would, I just had to be sly about it.
"Edward, are you crazy! Just because we're alive to see another day doesn't mean she isn't dangerous. If anything, it makes it an even stupider idea to contemplate going after a possibly injured vampire. We out-numbered her and she to top it off she was obviously injured. Three male vampires against one female, and who had the control in that situation Edward? She did! She had all our nuts in a vice. Sorry I'm being so crass but it's the truth. She had the upper hand." Jasper was right on some level but I knew Jasper has a hard time relinquishing control. We all did on some level but it was harder on Jasper because of his past. Not to mention he is very overprotective of his mate Alice.
Emmett let out a loud laugh and said, "I think I'd like to meet her."
You and I both Emmett.
"I change my mind, maybe I do like this girl already" everyone snapped their heads toward Rosalie in disbelief.
"What?! I don't always hate everyone. Okay maybe I do whatever. That's my prerogative. You can all pick up your jaws from the floor. God, whatever I don't care. Are we done here?" Rose began to ascend the stairs not waiting on a response.
"I still can't believe I didn't see anything. Oh but I did see that Mrs. Stanley is going to be at the hospital tomorrow and she's going to try and cop a field by pretending to trip, so heads up dad." Carlisle let out a frustrated sigh and Esme had a playful smirk.
"Do you think maybe she might be a shape shifter like those nasty dogs down at the Rez? Or maybe I'm just losing my touch, I don't know", even my poor little psychic sister Alice couldn't use her power on this girl.
We finished up the meeting and resumed our nightly activities but I had too many things running through my mind. I needing to unwind and there was no way that would happen by the looks Tanya was giving me. Besides I felt like playing the piano, it's been a few decades that I haven't played or composed anything.
I retired to the music room for the rest of the night, much to Tanya's dismay.
I felt as if something inside of me was finally waking up and for the first time I welcomed it.

BPOV:
It's been two weeks since that day in the forest that I came across him. We were finally moving to a town called Forks. We haven't seen our house but from the pictures it seems quite lovely and big enough for the five of us. It's about 40 miles away from the town which suits us just fine. The nearest neighbors are miles away which grant us the privacy we need.
"We're getting closer to the house, did you want to scout the area first or did you want to eat something Bella?" I looked toward Lenora; she has been my caretaker since birth. She is a healer, to humans they call her the white witch but to me she was like a second mother.
"I'm actually kind of hungry today which is a good thing. Perhaps you can fix me a fruit salad while the rest of us scout the area. I don't want any surprises," the biggest smile lit up Lenora's face. Since my near fatality my appetite has been nonexistent, except for my bloodlust. So the idea that I was actually craving fruit and vegetables was a great sign; just another thing that makes us different from the vampires in this realm.
"I ordered us some food from the town's local store, it should be by the house within the hour" Lenora went back to holding her mates hand, Dorian who was driving this huge monster of a car; a hummer or other.
Dorian was one of my personal guards since I was born. Together they were both chosen to watch over me by my parents.
I looked over at Sienna, she was admiring the forest. It reminded us of home which we all missed dearly. Sienna aside from also being a personal guard and my confidant, she was my best friend. She was also mated with Alec. Alec was my second in command.
When I was coroneted as the Princess of War for the Eeron people 400 years ago or so I was able to personally choose my own guards. Me, Sienna and Alec got along perfectly when we attended school together. I just knew I would elect them to watch over me.
Oh no, that scent…
"Stop the car now! Pull over on the side of the road Dorian," I knew that scent anywhere now. I've been haunted by that smell for the past two weeks ever since I saw him.
"But Bella, we're almost there. Can't you just –"Dorian continued on driving down the road.
"NOW DORIAN!" Alec and Sienna started looking out the windows.
"What is it Bella? What's going on?" Alec said to me with a steady voice but you could hear the worry underneath it.
Dorian finally pulled over.
"Get out of the car Alec, I need to get out" by this point everyone was starting catch the scent that hit me like a ton of bricks.
"Bella I think you should stay in the car. I'll go che-"I cut Alec off, "Don't make me pull rank Alec, you know I hate doing it. Now please, out."
We were all standing on the side of the road looking into the woods.
"God they're everywhere. Maybe one, maybe two days ago they ran through here. But…" I took another deep breath in through my nose and continued on.
"Alec remember when I told you about my encounter with the three male vampires? Well those three have been through here recently. Remember when I told you I was positive that they had mates. Well I'm not hundred percent about the bronze haired one, since the female mate in questions scent wasn't as strong on him as it was for the other two males. But anyways… I'm getting off topic here. I'm quite positive I now smell all six of them as well as an additional two vampires." I was astonished, how could there be an eight member coven of vampires. It was unheard of.
"I can't believe it. But I thought that the only coven in this realm that was fairly large was that of the Volturi," said Alec.
I scoffed, "The Volturi, what a joke. I still don't understand the purpose of such a ridiculous…" I just realized something much more important.
"There scent is practically rooted to the ground and the trees. They just haven't passed through here… They dwell somewhere around here, I know it. They must run through here when they go hunt. And I'm almost positive they have another powerful vampire among them. Her power is equally as strong as the other two" I turned my attention to Lenora who looked very frightened.
"We need to leave this place. We could track down another pack and settle there. I don't like this…" said Dorian.
"NO! Bella is still weak we can't keep moving around like we've been doing. It makes it that much more dangerous to encounter more vampires. Not to mention she needs werewolf meat now more than ever and she needs to sleep more so she can restore her health. How else is she going to rest while we keep moving from place to place using up her energy every step of the way? It could take months to find another pack," Lenora turned to me "Bella, honey at least lets go to the house and think about what we can do. Maybe you could get some sleep tonight; you haven't slept in over three weeks."
"Okay…I think we should go to the house, we can then look over our options. We'll all eat something, then I want us to go out and scope out the area and the town. We need to see if they really do live around here. I'll try to get some sleep tonight" I walked over to Lenora and gave her a soft kiss on her right cheek.
We all piled into the car still talking about this odd coven that not only ate other animals but also lived amongst each other. We have all been taught that it was very uncommon. We were really starting to question if everything we learned to be true was indeed true.
Despite all of this I still couldn't shake this feeling in the pit of my stomach that kept telling me that we didn't have to be afraid of these vampires. It was the strangest thing but in all my years I've always been able to trust my gut instinct. And now, there was no reason for me to start doubting it.

EPOV
It was two weeks. Two God awful weeks of not seeing her again.
That's it, she gone forever. And she's never coming back.
I was growing angrier by the minute. I didn't like what she was doing to me. I was slowly unraveling. If my family thought that I was so difficult to live with before I started my hand at dating, then it was nothing compared to how I was now; I was completely incorrigible now. Every night I spent pounding away on my piano. The song I was composing was morphing into a very dark and angry ballad. I got plenty of death threats because of it. I was even more self loathing than before and because of it I was now even more secluded than before. Lost in my own thoughts.
I'm almost positive that she has cast a spell on me. Cheesy, I know but I've never been so distracted by a woman before, so she must have done something to me. She is raising a lot of unfamiliar emotions in me and even more questions that I have no answers for.
Drat!! Maybe she did something to me with her powers.
I had gone back to the same location I first saw her about four times now. I had managed to sneak away from my family the very next day after first seeing her.
When I arrived to the spot, her scent was almost gone. There was still a little hint in the blades of the grass.
"Hey baby, what you thinking about? Edward you've been ignoring me ever since you came across that vampire chick two weeks ago. And don't try to pretend that you haven't gone out and tried searching for her on your own against Carlisle's wishes. And before you ask, the answer is no, Alice didn't tell me about it. I just know. Now what is going on? Do you not want me? Is she prettier than me, is that it? Give me something here Edward. I miss you so much, I miss your lips and the way you used to touch me. We haven't had any… Well you know, some alone time", I didn't even realize Tanya was there until I felt her running her hand up my leg, slowly trying to reach my, let's say 'my little mini-me'.
I cleared my throat, I was such an asshole.
"I'm sorry I didn't catch that, what did you say Tanya?" I replied, while grabbing her hand that was trying to steal second base.
'Prude! What is he impotent, eunuch? Ever since he saw that, that woman he's been ignoring me. LOOK at Me! I'M FUCKING HOT FOR CRYING OUT LOUD! I've never had a problem with men wanting me before. And hello, look what I got on. How can you ignore someone in a lacey, silk burgundy babydoll and silver 5 in heals to boot. It's enough to drive any man insane; if Emmett wasn't with Rosalie I'm sure he'd have me naked in 0.05 seconds, and up against the wall… Mmmm, I'm positive Emmett would be a great fu— Oooops, SHIT!' ….
"Sorry babe, it's just, I need you and I have so much pent up sexual fu…" I grimaced at her, god if she could only stop thinking "…what?" she said to me stunned. I shoved her hands off me and slowly got out of bed.
"I am not impotent or eunuch for that matter. No problems here." I was very frustrated and a little surprised Tanya knew what eunuch was.
'Pardon me Mr. Mood Killer, could of fooled me.' Tanya rolled her eyes and made a move to follow me.
I couldn't stand it when she tried so hard to seduce me sometimes. Especially when she would fantasize about my brothers and occasionally my father. Now that's a mood killer.
Why can't she just stay in the guestroom that she is supposed to be occupying for a change. My room is starting to get cluttered with all her crap.
"I said I was sorry, this isn't easy for me Edward. Please come back to bed, pleeeeassse."
'Dammit!! I did it again and there he goes, if he wouldn't deny me every time this wouldn't be such a --…'
"Don't worry about it Tanya, I'm taking a shower…alone. Look I'm sorry I've been distant lately but… I just have a lot on my mind lately. I promise we'll talk about this tomorrow okay," Ya I'm a chicken shit and I've been so distracted that I haven't gone around to breaking up with Tanya yet, "I'm going to go back to the music room after my shower. If I don't see you tomorrow before you go, have fun shopping with the girls okay and be careful."
I made my way to my bathroom to take a hot shower to help me relax.
'Ya well you know what? I'm going to stay in my room for awhile. That's one sure way to wake him up from his funk. Guys always want the unattainable. See how long he makes it before he's knocking on my door.' I heard Tanya slam my door shut on her way out.
Thank the Lord…Why am I such an asshole.
*
(The Very Next Day)
"So… You gonna' tell me what that was all about last night? You know, with you and Tanya" for the hundredth time Emmett wouldn't just drop it. I was only seconds away to putting him in a choke hold.
Why did I agree to go hunting with him upstate? I should have gone with Jasper. Well actually come to think of it, I'd rather rip off my own limbs that go shopping with the three craziest shopaholics at the present moment.
"I still can't believe Jasper didn't come with us. God he can be so overprotective of Alice sometimes. Come on between Rose, Tanya and Alice I would lose that fight even despite my mind reading abilities," I was trying my hardest to avoid this line of questioning.
"I know right! He's such a puss- Hey! Stop that, come on be straight with me bro. You know you can come to me for anything, right? I know I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed but I know about relationships. And I know I never pass up the chance to tease you about your celibacy pact, but –"
"Emmett, I don't have a celibacy pact, I'm just waiting for the One. Sorry we're not all horn dogs who can't keep it in their pants. You have no control man, at all, you practically mauled Rosalie after your change right in front of us and that is unheard of from any newborn vampire. And let's talk about something else please" I was so frustrated I needed one more kill before we left.
"Look, I'm sorry Edward but you're my bro and I love you okay. I'll lay off the jokes at your expense but you can come to me okay. So please tell me. Is this girl really that much hotter from Tanya? Is this what this is about? I thought you finally had something with Tanya, I mean come on dude I've even heard you with Tanya a few times and well…" Emmett was wiggling his eyebrows at me.
"Em, don't even finish that sentence. I like Tanya, I do but I can't ever see her the way you see Rose. And this girl, I know it was just minutes that we saw each other but I can't explain this connection I already have with her. It's driving me insane…I don't know what to do" I looked over at my brother preparing myself for his onslaught of laughter but it never came.
"I'm sorry bro… I guess we all hoped you'd find a mate in Tanya. But I can't really say I thought you two were meant for each other. I was just hopeful you'd find happiness. But if this other chick evokes such strong feelings then I could help you look for her. That's exactly how it was for me and Rose. It was only a moment but we both just knew, she was mine and I hers. But first things first you need to stop stringing Tanya along. I know for a fact she won't take it too hard, she'll find herself a new cock to play with in no time. Then we'll find your mystery girl, I'll give you a few tips on how to woo her and wha-la you'll be one step closer to losing your V-card," I rolled my eyes and scoffed at my brother's crude mind.
"Let's go Emmett. Thanks for listening it really did help, even if you ruined it for me at the end there." We both laughed at that and ran off toward Emmett's Jeep.
*
We were just getting into town when it hit me.
She's here, I can't believe it. She's here…
"Emmett slow down. Do you smell that? It's her, I know it is. Lower your window and follow the trail," I was growing anxious, I needed to see her.
"Well I'll be damned. Oh she does smell really good. I can't believe it, if she's the one for you Edward then destiny always finds a way and all that shit. I think she's at Newton's store, let's go check it out."
We hopped out of the Jeep and right away I picked up on four heartbeats. One of which was slightly faster than the others. I could only hear three people moving around in there.
She's deadly silent, like the perfect predator.
Upon walking into the store I couldn't see anyone; but I knew Mike was in the back looking for some shoes and willing his hard on to subside before he came back out. He was already fantasizing about my blue eyed goddess. I had to fight back a growl. Mrs. Newton was in the back office paying bills and there was an older guy in his 20's doing inventory in the back.
I followed her scent to the last aisle that had camping snack food and other things of that nature and it was a dead end. Well there was a door at the end but that lead to the restricted area of the store. Her back was facing me and I knew she sensed us because she her posture was rigid.
She slowly began to turn. And when she did I almost fell to my knees, she was so beautiful. My own pathetic excuse for eyes didn't do her any justice and she was only a mere quarter mile away the last time I saw her.
'Hot damn, she's fucking HOT!' And it was like I had no control I let out a possessive growl towards my brother.
'Damn bro, chillax okay I wasn't moving in on your girl. I was just making an observation. Oh by the way, please don't tell Rose she'll cut off my dick and hide it for a week. Uh-oh dude you startled your little peach with your demonstration there. Quick dude re-group. '
She looked even tenser now because of my outburst. And I'm sure being cornered didn't quell the feelings of being trapped.
Her hands were so tightly balled together into fists I thought she would snap her own bones. She was starting to look a little pissed. She kept looking from me to Emmett.
God I'm such an idiot why don't you attack her next and see how that goes, dumbass. God she's so beautiful.
She had on blue skinny jeans and this beige sweater that was tied shut with a bow. She was clutching a brown purse in her right hand and despite wearing a cream colored cap I could see her face perfectly.
'Say something dumbass!'
Oh right, thanks Emmett.
"I'm not going to hurt you, please… My name is Edward Cullen and this big lug here," I nodded toward my brother who was standing behind me to my left, he waved his hand like a total dweeb as though we weren't in a life or death situation, "is my brother Emmett Cullen."
She didn't move, she didn't speak, she just shifted her head slightly. She kept her eyes on me. God those eyes, I swear she could see right through me. I couldn't help but get lost in them.
"What is your name?" she didn't say anything she starting looking around, probably looking for the nearest exit but there wasn't one unless she went out the back door.
"Please don't! I mean, I… I just want to talk, I swear to you we won't hurt you," and because I'm obviously crazy I took a small step toward her. She let out a small hiss, which of course went straight to my neither regions.
'Not bad Eddie boy, she's a keeper. I'll tell you what, if I didn't have Rose I'd probably…' I snapped my head toward my brother and shot him a warning glare.
'Gosh I was just saying… Uptight much, oh and don't tell Rosie, pleaaase.'
Suddenly the room started to feel warmer. I snapped my head back to her. I could hear her heartbeat increase. Her eyes began to slowly dilate and her breathing was also slowly increasing. I took another step towards here, I couldn't help it.
I need to touch her.
That time she hissed a little louder than before. But I didn't care; she could kill me now I wasn't going to back down. But suddenly, stupid Newton came out of the back door.
"Hey I couldn't find any in the size you wanted. But we can order some for you Bella…" he trailed off as he noticed us all standing in the aisle.
She looked over to him. I didn't like that very much and let out a very low growl.
Bella and Newton snapped their heads to me.
'Did he just growl?' Newton looked confused.
Crap Newton heard it, oh well he can take that as a sign to back the hell off.
"Bella…" I couldn't help it I had to say her name but I obviously whispered it loud enough for Newton to hear
Bella's heart beat picked up.
'Great what is he doing here, and look at the way he's looking at her. It's like he's going to swallow her whole. Well fat chance Cullen, this one's mine. Wait, what am I worrying about he's obviously gay, right? I mean he can have any chick at school he wants but yet he doesn't. And dude check out those jeans… Yup, there no way, he's totally gay. Hmmm but Emmett could be a problem.'
"Ummm… Hi guys, I'll be right with you if you'll just wait up front. Once I'm done with Bella…" I took a step forward with my teeth clenched and my fist balled up very tightly. I gave him my most deadly glare. I was going to kill him, luckily for him Emmett saw the sudden fear in Newton's features he put his hand on my shoulder to stop me.
"Mike, is it?" Oh my God her voice was so musical, she then turned her head towards Mike, "It's fine, don't worry about it. You can go ahead and help them, I need to get going anyway."
'NO! You can't go yet, not without giving me your number. Or a blow job out back, preferably topless. I need to stall.' Newton was really pushing his luck today.
"No its okay Bella I can get an order form, I'll just need your number and… Wow is it just me or does it feel really hot in here? Damn I think the AC broke again…" I did notice that it was gradually getting hotter in here not to mention Bella's breathing was increasing. Mike was fanning off his face with his hand, he was already starting to sweat like a dirty pig that he is.
At that moment I never loved my brother as much as I did at that moment, "Hey Newton, why don't I help you with that, I know something about AC's." He then walked over to Newton who was standing too damn close to my Bella.
Bella began to hiss but only loud enough for us to hear, she then pushed her back flush against the shelves as far from Emmett as possible; Emmett ignored her and placed a hand on Newton's shoulder and lead him toward the back door.
'Ouch, Jesus what does his hand weigh? Fifty pounds? At least his hand is nice and cold, Jesus it's hot in here…'
As soon as the door closed, it was just the two of us. I had somehow managed to come within five feet from her now.
"What are you?" I had to ask and if by some miracle she told me, it wouldn't even matter at this point.
She let a terrifying laugh, her eyes looked methodical. This of course brought shivers down my back and caused my pants to tighten even more.
God I'm so sick…
"I don't know what you're talking about," she gave me a cute little innocent look.
"Now is not the time to be coy B-e-l-l-a. Tell me something, is it your natural defense to shield anyone's powers or did you know we might have other powers than the obvious vampire attributes?" I was slowly making my way towards her; my voice had a hint of playfulness.
"What is that saying you have… 'Curiosity killed the cat'?" she had no idea what she was doing to me.
"Is that a warning?" I told her, but at this point I didn't care; she could kill me know I would die a happy man.
"Why don't you tell me mind reader?" she let out another evil laugh, suddenly her face got serious, "Take it as you wish. I really don't care. I must really be on my way now…"
She tried to walk past me, until I put my right hand on the shelf next to me blocking her way. We were only a few feet way now and let me tell you the heat was definitely not the AC. It was coming off her like a space heater. It only clouded my mind even more.
I looked down at her and noticed she lowered her head and looked down. Something vampires never do in a situation such as this. Even her body was slowly shifted toward the shelf. Almost as if her body was subconsciously curling into my side. Whether she was aware of it or not her body was slowly submitting to me.
When she lowered her head a soft strand of her hair fell over the right side of her face. Without thinking my left hand reached up and tucked it behind her. Her hair was so soft and smelled of strawberries.
Her head shot up and she was once again looking me right in the eyes. She had a shocked look on her face. Her eyes showed me that she was fighting something.
I moved in closer.
"If you don't let me leave now, you won't be around for very much longer", her voice was hoarse and definitely a few octaves lower than usual but she tried to cover it up. Only clear thing I could tell was that she was aroused just like me. I could feel energy crackling in the air around us.
With a cocky smirk I took a deep breath in through my nose and since my hand was still holding onto the strand of hair behind her ear I ran my index finger over her cheekbone. I could smell her arousal.
We both gasped at the little shocks running through our skin. I know she felt it. God she was so hot, her skin was flushed and it only made her scent that much more torturous.
"You wouldn't…" I said confidently even though my voice was very hoarse.
"Don't presume to know what I may or may not do. I can and I will kill you if I have too," she tried with all her might to sound convincing but it fell short.
"You had your chance two weeks ago in the forest but you didn't take it. You had a second chance the moment I found you here. Not to mention you didn't even bother to block my powers this time. Why is that? How is it that you know I could read minds? Perhaps I can read yours…" I was so full of it; it still perplexed me that I still couldn't read her mind.
I always wished for silence and cursed my power, but that was until I met her. I was getting really cocky with her now and I could see this was only getting her more irritated; but I couldn't help myself. For all I knew she would make well on her promise.
"You can't!" she spat out with such conviction.
"Ah-ah-ahh…" I stepped closer to her, "I bet I know what you're thinking right now," her back was flush against the shelves and I could see her swallow a lump in her throat. I've never been this forward with any woman in my life. Even with Tanya, she had to initiate everything. And here I was practically trying to seduce her in a sporting goods store, a complete stranger of all people.
There were only a mere few inches between us now. I noticed how rapidly her chest was moving, her heart was beating a mile a minute. Her eyes were so dilated I could barely see any blue. I then noticed her claw marks were nearly all gone.
I looked down at her rapid moving chest but her sweater was in the way. So while my right hand rested on the shelf right next to Bella's head, I brought my left hand down to the bow of her sweater my eyes following its path.
I slowly pulled on the end of the bow and it soon came undone. She then let out the sexiest little whimper. I looked into her eyes and noticed she had closed them. Suddenly I noticed I could smell food, popcorn to be exact. I could also hear the popping sound along with the crackling energy around us.
I looked behind her on the shelf to find the popcorn packages were bursting open right before my eyes. I was completely shocked. I looked back to her she had opened her eyes. She looked just as hungry as I did I'm sure.
I proceeded to pull her sweater open.
"What is this? What's going on here, between us?" I was beyond any help at this point I was going to ravage her. I knew this and I'm certain she did too.
I almost practically climaxed right there when I looked down and was met by her ample cleavage. She had a beautiful blue stone of some sort tucked nicely between her breast. Her necklace reminded me of her eyes. I managed to get my head out the gutter long enough to notice that the claw marks on her chest were also fading but still more prominent than the ones on her face. I looked back at her with concern. My mouth opened to speak.
"Holy Mother Mary and Joseph! That has to be the fucking hottest thing ever!"
Thanks a lot Em. I wonder how long he was standing there for?
'It's like watching live porn! Way to go Eddie, you almost got her naked! I didn't know you had it in you!'
"I guess all that practice with Tanya wasn't a complete waste after all," and I was back to wanting to kill my brother.
I let out a deep growl that shook the shelves and snapped my head toward him. He then realized that he said the last bit about Tanya out loud and slapped his hand over his mouth.
And I was going to kill him. I couldn't believe he just said that. And this is why I never tell him anything.
In that instant I heard someone else's thoughts.
And before I could react I was crashing into Emmett onto a heap on the floor. Something in my head told me to do it and it was also keeping me down on the ground. I was trying to fight it with everything that I had. I managed to look up and Bella was gone.
