You're looking at my family differently.

With Esme it's sad.

Conflicted.

Torn.

Sometimes anger.

What's going on in that pretty head of yours?

With Alice and Rose it's easy, cool, and relaxed.

You haven't been with Emmett yet—I've checked the schedule.

With Carlisle you act like the perfect Companion.

In front of his wife, you don't give him a second glance, but behind closed doors it's another matter.

He's had you nearly every morning this week, and I hate it.

I was there only once.

Does he expect more from you now?

Does he take you like I dream of taking you?

Does he bend you over his desk and pound into you?

Make you scream in pleasure while he uses your perfect body for his own selfishness.

Does he drag his tongue across your shoulder blade before biting your neck?

Just to make you come harder.

Do you like it?

Then there's this asshole.

My brother-in-law, Jasper, and my sister join the dinner table.

You look at him differently too.

Is it lust in those deep brown eyes?

Do you crave him like I crave you?

I hate it.

This jealous that burns in my gut.

We've barely spoken two words to each other, but I can't deny that I've formed this strange attraction to you.

You plague my thoughts.

I can almost feel when you enter a room.

When your eyes are on me.

Yes, I know you look at me.

It's the only thing that gets me through the day.

The possibility that you feel this thing between us too.
