Odds and Ends
These are just little ficlets and drabbles which don't merit posting individually, but which I'd like to share anyway.
I make no proprietary claim to Twilight or any of its characters. Just playing around.
Prompt: Temptation
"Come with me," he urged softly, compellingly. His voice was so alluring, so beautiful, that I had to follow, even if it was wrong.
"Where are we going?" I asked him.
"My car," he murmured, shooting me a look with his too-dark eyes. "I forgot something."
"Okay." I watched him as we walked. He was…unbearably perfect…strong jaw…long, straight nose…full lips…gorgeous body. Of course I had gone with him. Everything about him drew me in.
"Here we are," he gestured to his silver Volvo.
"So…what did you forget?"
"A notebook." I knew he was lying. "Do you want to go for a drive?"
"You want to ditch?" I wasn't accustomed to skipping, but my next course was gym, and his offer was so much more appealing.
"Try it just this once. I'll make it worth your while."
"Okay," I agreed again, taking the forbidden fruit from his hands. I couldn't go back now.
Inside his car, it was like the air tightened around us. All my awareness was taken up by him. He began to drive. He kept glancing at me, as if to make sure I was still there.
I wasn't sure where he took us. Some isolated, woodsy spot. He turned to me.
"Isabella."
"Bella," I corrected without thinking. He smiled at me.
"Well, Bella, how do you like Forks so far?"
"It's…uh…wet."
He laughed. "Yes, yes it is."
"You've lived here two years?"
"Yes," he confirmed. "I don't mind the rain so much anymore."
I couldn't figure out what else to say. He stared at me so intently…no one had ever looked at me that way before. Ever.
"Bella…" He suddenly leaned closer, too fast. His beautiful face was so close. I couldn't help leaning in, too, every cell urging me to close the gap. My body begged to seep into his, to be with him always.
He breathed in deeply and then let out a sound that could only be described as a growl. I gasped.
"You shouldn't have come with me, Bella Swan," he said through gritted teeth before his lips crashed into mine.
He didn't seem to realize that I had no choice. He was temptation incarnate.
