Chapter 4

He was leaning against the wooden stable doors. He was gorgeous. He had messy, bronze hair which stood on end and his eyes were a soft, bright green which contrasted with his pale complexion. He had high cheek bones and well rounded, full lips. As my eyes travelled down his body, I could see he was well shaped and muscular but it wasn't the first thing you would notice about him. Even from a distance, I could see he would tower over me. I then took it upon myself to notice his tail as it whipped silently behind him, it was long and was about as thick as my wrist. I nearly fixated on it, it was skin coloured all the way down to the end where it ended pointedly with a bronze tuft of hair. I looked up, he pushed off the stable doors and smiled cautiously.

'' Hi Bella, I'm Edward and I guess for all intensive purposes your mate'' he greeted gently. His voice was amazing, it was like honey, it was sweet and flowed perfectly.

'' Hi'' I managed to squeak. He smiled again, his smile was warm and kind and was currently turning my legs to jelly.

''Bella, is it okay if I come over to you?'' he asked. I nodded slowly. He moved towards me and soon enough he was beside me, my head only reaching his chest. He smelled of expensive aftershave and home but none the less I would admit I was a tiny bit intimidated. He slowly took my hand and I felt lightening flow up through my body from my hand. I gasped.

'' It's our bodies reacting to each other, their recognising each other'' he said through gritted teeth, obviously feeling what I did.

'' Sorry'' I mumbled, seeing he was struggling with the sensation.

'' Bella, don't ever apologise for this'' he said motioning to our joined hands ''It's beautiful and some people waste a lifetime looking for what we have but we don't have to. We have each other.'' he said, looking at me with what only what anyone could describe as love and adoration. I was well and truly fucked.

'' Come on'' he smiled, as he pulled me toward the the 'L' shaped building which blocked the cars from going up the main building. We entered the building and he dragged me towards the half of the building which blocked off the sandy drive.

'' The courtyard back there is as far as the cars go, they park in the garage and we ride the rest of the way in. My family and I like to leave more unnatural technologies outside of the estate'' he explained to me.

'' When you said 'ride' did you mean like horse riding?'' I asked.

''Yep'' he smiled, as we rounded the corner I saw ten individual stables, only two of them occupied. In them stood two beautiful horses. One was around sixteen' two and was a dark chestnut colour. While the other was quite shocking, he was jet black and probably about twenty hands tall. I couldn't believe it, I'd never seen a horse that large before.

''Your horses are obviously to small for us so we have genetically altered them to suit us'' he yet again explained after seeing my expression.

''Oh'' was all I managed.

''Come on, so the chestnut one is yours and her name is Sapphire and this one is obviously mine and his name is Taz. Do you want a hand up?'' he asked.

''How do you know if I even ride?'' I snapped in return.

''I know you do, it was a stipulation I made after you turned eleven'' he replied.

''What?'' I was baffled, but what shocked me even more was the fact I received riding lessons as a gift from my parents for my eleventh birthday.

''Do you really want to know? I've interfered with your life a lot and I changed a lot of things about you'' he said in reply.

''Yes'' I hissed at him. I was angry at him for changing me, for interfering with my life but I was also angry at myself for, ridiculously enough, being angry at him.

''Look later, okay?'' I said sighing, I saw brief hurt flash in his eyes before he said okay.

I got up on Sapphire, who was already tacked up and I followed Edward on Taz to a large double doors, which opened automatically. We were faced with a beautiful sandy lane which winded around thick trees and disappeared. Overhead was tall trees which leaned in over the avenue while the evening sunlight filtered through them, catching Edwards golden highlights. He was still beautiful in the evening sunshine even though I was angry at him and I couldn't deny the pull I felt towards him.

''Come on'' he said, heading off in a brisk trot ahead of me. I was having none of it. I spurred Sapphire on and she broke into a canter, I quickly passed Edward out. I laughed, the look on his face. I turned from him and enjoyed the sensation of wind blowing through my hair. Horse riding used to be one of my favourite hobbies but I was forced to quit after my school workload became heavier.

As Sapphire rounded the bend, the avenue gave way to a huge, open area and a massive mansion. The mansion was a light sandstone colour, three stories tall and with immaculate box hedging running around it. On the white marble steps leading up to the front door, there was three Revenant males and a young woman standing together. As I brought Sapphire to a walk, Edward caught up to me. We approached the house together, Edward was on Taz, to the right of me.

''My parents and my younger brothers want to meet you'' he said gently. ''We all live here but don't worry they will give you your space'' he said hesitantly, seeing my nervous expression. Did I really want to meet them? Were they going to like me? God I didn't know.

We were at the front door now and Edward jumped off Taz and helped me down off Sapphire, I really liked her, she had a wonderful stride. A man then briskly appeared and led Sapphire and Taz away. I turned to face Edward's family, there was a tall youngish man with light blonde hair and piercing blue eyes that stood next to a small woman with long brunette hair and light hazel eyes. Beside them were two younger men, one was a massive man that had short brown, curly hair and sharp grey eyes. While the other was more lean with golden blonde hair that hung around his shoulders and hazel-green eyes. They were all gorgeous in their own way.

''Mum, dad this is Bella'' Edward finally said, as he wrapped his arm around my waist, pulling me into him.

''It's wonderful to finally meet you Bella, I'm Esme and this is my mate, Carlisle'' Edward's mother offered sweetly.

''It's a pleasure to meet you Bella'' Carlisle offered kindly. I smiled at them but I was shocked, they both looked like they were in their twenties but they already had sons which looked like they were also in their twenties. I shook it off.

''It's wonderful to meet you both'' I offered in reply.

''These two oafs over here, are my brothers Emmett and Jasper'' Edward chuckled.

''Nice to meet you Bella'' Jasper, the blonde one said. He smiled warmly but kept his distance.

''Wow, it's nice to finally meet the girl that's going to keep Edward's balls in check'' grinned Emmett, as he lifted me from Edwards arms and encompassed me in a bear hug. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Esme scowl at him but she said nothing. It was then I heard a deep growl rumble from behind me, I wriggled around to see Edward glaring at Emmett.

''Put her down'' Edward snarled. Emmett paled, immediately putting me down and backing away from me. Edward snatched me back into his arms and was stroking my hair. I'm pretty sure he was also growling ''mine''.

''Emmett! What did I tell you? You idiot! I told you Edward wouldn't want you touching her! He's at his most possessive right now, he could of killed you!'' Carlisle yelled furiously, at a now meek Emmett.

''Sorry father, I wasn't thinking'' he cowered.

''Obviously not!'' Carlisle snapped, but quickly stopped noticing Edward's agitated mood. Edward's tail was whipping violently from side to side and his eyes were darting around, looking for anything that could pose a threat.

''Go Edward, before you do something you'll regret'' Carlisle said quietly. Edward and I were gone from them in a split second, before I knew it we were standing alone in a quiet kitchen-dining area, which sunk down into a living space.

''This is my wing of the house, upstairs there is a master bathroom, a spare bedroom and the library and above that is our bedroom, my study and some storage space.'' he whispered.

The downstairs was beautiful, we were standing in a modern kitchen with marble counter tops and a small dining table to our right. Then in-front of us separated by railing and four steps was the sunken living space, which was complete with white fabric sofas, a flat screen television and bushy green plants in terracotta pots. Did I forget to mention that the whole wall we were facing was glass? That with the wooden floors and creamy white walls, flooded the downstairs with natural light.

''Do you like it?'' he asked quietly. I nodded slowly. I could feel him smiling behind me.

''Are you tired?'' he asked me, as he watched the evening sun setting through the glass wall. I again nodded. He chuckled quietly, lifting me up into his arms and slowly carring me up the stairs. I panicked as he headed towards the second floor, he wouldn't rape me would he?

''Ssshhh, Bella. We won't do anything until your ready, love'' he whispered gently, reading my mind. As we reached our bedroom, Edward removed my socks, shoes and my jumper and then lay me into bed. All I remembered after that was the feeling of soft sheets beneath me, as Edward pulled the duvet up over my weary body and him whispering ''Sleep well, my love''
