important notice at the end of the chapter!!!

Bella POV

My eyes flew open. I recalled Edward… food… water… a fight… sleep. Oh shit. I just slept with Edward Masen. I looked around and found myself to be alone. I rubbed my forehead and suddenly felt hungry again. What a time to be hungry. Still in Edward's shirt I rolled off the bed and made my way to the door. My hand, centimeters from the doorknob, froze. Would anyone hurt me? Or find me and think I was trying to escape? Granted, to be free would be nice but I didn't think I wanted it anymore. I wanted to be Edward's forever.

Instead, I walked back to the bed and waited. And waited. Soon, not long after I had woken up Edward walked in, water and food in hand. He must have seen my face light up at the sight of both him and the food because he chuckled.

"Anxious or just hungry?"

"Both," I replied, taking the water from him first. I downed the water quickly and then moved onto the food.

"Take it slow. We don't want you hurting yourself." I did as I was told and tried to slow down. He smiled in contentment and stood up. "We're making port today. We'll buy you something to wear."

"Thank you," I replied.

"And then you can come up on deck and enjoy the fresh air with me." I smiled at the thought. "I don't think anymore escape attempts will be necessary." I laughed and nodded in agreement.

"I think you may be correct." He smiled. "About the other night and Tyler…" I trailed off and all the color in his face was drained. "He wasn't the only one."

"Tell me Bella. Please," he said, taking my one hand in both of his. I looked down.

"Mike Newton. He was planning to take me with him when he ran off this ship. He used to work for my father and I guess he was mad that I never gave him the time of day. He paid Tyler to help me escape." Edward's face was suddenly enraged.

"What?" he roared, standing up and pacing. "I'll have every man on this ship search for him. I'll-" I placed my hand on his hip, tracing down slightly, my eyes following, until I removed my hand and placed it back at my side.

"Thank you," I said. He sighed and sat down next to me.

"I'm so sorry words can't explain. I shouldn't have even attacked you father's ship. I'm sorry bout Emmett…"

"Don't be sorry," I said, cutting him off from his rant. "We would have never met. Edward, I think I…" I was cut off this time by the sound of fighting on the top deck. Edward instantly looked like he wanted to fight. He knew what was going on.

"Another battle."

"Go Edward, I know you want to fight alongside your men." He smiled and ran up the stairs to go fight. I sighed and then thought about why I was still here. I raided through Edward's dresser for a smaller pair of trousers and slid them on, fastening them with a belt. Sweeping my hair up in one of his hats and grabbing a sword before running up after Edward. The ice-cold rain was coming down hard and the wind blew fiercely. I knew it would be difficult to keep my hat on. But all the excitement of the fight got to me and I seemed like I was on a high. I killed men quickly, knowing somewhat who was on the opposing crew.

"Bella!" Edward shouted as I fought next to him. "What the hell are you doing out here?" Quickly finishing off the man I was fighting as he did the same, he pulled me into him and brought me to his chest, where my sword saved me from his, forming and X between us. He spun me back out and watched me quickly take out two men at the same time with one sword. He came from behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist.

"You're amazing Bella," he whispered in my ear. He kissed my cheek before running off. I watched his flawless fighting technique, the way his muscles moved when he lunged and the determination on his face. What was he fighting for?

I fought pretending that it was my dad fighting side by side next to me, pretending he was there. This is when we seemed closet, his spirit must have lingered on the earth to fight along side with me. The side of me that longed to be a dangerous pirate.

The fight was over quickly and Edward had me in his arms and then in his room, soon after it was over.

Edward POV (sorry, I kept using the wrong pronouns so this little part is EPOV)

"Seeing you fight like that was amazing," I said, leaning in so that we were so close together not even the thin blade of a knife could've have fit between us. "Which reminds me, we never finished our fight." She smiled and poked my chest with her finger.

"I win," she purred seductively.

"I don't think so," I said, leaning in toward her. The longing in her eyes was unmistakable and I hoped I wasn't rushing anything. She closed her eyes and parted her lips slightly, as if waiting for me.

Bella POV

I parted my lips slightly, wanting him so badly to take mine in his. He leaned forward more, every inch of his perfect body resting on top of mine. I finally extended my neck to bring my lips to his. Our lips moved in perfect synchronization. His breathing one octave lower than mine made our breathing sound together like music made solely for the two people who make it.

He had to feel how I felt right now. We parted only to breathe when it was necessary. His soft, warm tongue ran along my bottom lip and I parted my lips to allow him all the access he needed. As our tongues tangled together in a kiss I never wanted to end, we both pulled back for air.

"That. Was…" I trailed off, unable to find the right adjective.

"Amazing doesn't cover it," Edward said. "There are no words to describe that." He did feel the same way.
