Chapter 10 - the first double digit chapter of many! :D

Thank you for the reviews & encouragement. They give me inspiration & make me feel loved. Lol. xoxoxo.

P.S - I don't know why, but lately, the song "Lollipop" reminds me of Edward... "Sh-sh- she lick me like a lollipop..." XD

... leave me alone LOLZ... let me wallow in my insanity.

. : I'll Eat You Alive : .
.: I'm sorry... so sorry... Your beauty is so vain... It drives me... Yes, it drives me... absolutely insane. :.

I can't escape this hell... so many times I've tried...

... but I'm still caged inside...

Somebody help me through this nightmare...

I can't control myself.

So what if you can see-

The darkest side of me?

No one will ever change this animal I have become...

Help me believe...

It's not the real me.

Somebody help me tame this animal...

"And so the..." she began, reading the top.

"... lion fell in love with the lamb," a velvet voice finished for her.

Her eyes widened, and she swung around, knocking down the lamp and the only source of light in the process. He had masked his presence.

"What are you doing here?!" she said suddenly.

"To get what belongs to me," he hissed, his voice angry and hard.

"Th-the painting?" she whimpered.

"Nice try, love..." he replied, a smirk on his face.

x x x

'Love?'

Bella's breathing was heavy, and she wasn't sure why. Her best bet would be the fear and adrenaline pumping through her veins. She looked at the vampire before her, and realized that even in the darkness, he was still beautiful.

"You shouldn't be h-here-" Bella stuttered, "You've no reason to be!"

"Perhaps you're correct..." he said, his voice etched with strain, "But I need to..."

"Why do you need to be here?!" Bella snapped back, trying to keep her voice low.

He was walking towards her ever so slowly, his face was torn— as if his mind and his body weren't agreeing with each other.

"I don't know why..." he hissed, his voice becoming angry again.

Bella took steps backwards, trying to keep the distance between them.

"... I don't know why my body needs you so much."

'Needs.'

Bella found her back against the door of her room, one hand clutching the handle.

"St-stay away-" she whimpered, not sure if she actually wanted him there or didn't.

"You don't mean that," he said smugly, "I can see that look in your eyes..."

"I-I do mean it..." she replied.

"Really, now?" he said, and even in the darkness, she could see his smirk as he pressed his body up against hers.

"Don't do this—" Bella begged.

His nose skimmed from her shoulder to the base of her throat, "Why do I want you so much?..."

This was too much for Bella. Her hand slowly turned her door knob...

"Where do you think you're going?" Edward chuckled, smirking against her skin.

Her grabbed her wrists and pinned both of them above her head with just one of his hands. He nipped at her neck and then licked gently.

"God, you taste delicious..." he purred.

"You have Tanya..." Bella whimpered.

Edward's lips froze on her skin for a second, and then, using his free hand, he made one of her legs wrap around his waist.

"The lion and the lamb—" Edward whispered, grinding against her.

Bella threw her head back and bit her lip- she hated, so much, the power he had over her.

"When I was painting that picture..." he whispered, his free hand snaking it's way down her body, only to stop at her ass. He rocked her forward, so that she could feel his obvious arousal.

"... I wasn't thinking about Tanya... I was thinking about you..."

"W-What?" she gasped.

He pressed his body harder against hers, and a cracking sound came from the wooden door.

"Come with me..." he whispered in her ear, taking her earlobe and sucking on it, "Let me show you what I was thinking about doing to you as I painted that picture..."

Bella shook her head, "We shouldn't- we shouldn't- you're engaged and-"

"I need this, Bella... please... I need to make sense of everything I'm feeling-"

"But-"

"Please..." he whimpered in her ear, "For me."

For him.

Well, this was a change.

"My... father..."

"Don't worry about him..." Edward growled, "He's asleep already..."

Bella's mind was clouded with confusion. She wanted to help Edward get back to the way he was, and if this is what he needed...

"Take me away," she whispered in a sultry voice.

"Don't tempt me too much, Bella..." he warned, "If I didn't know better, I'd rip off your sweatpants right now and fuck you against this door..." he squeezed her wrists that he was holding with his hand, "But..." he pressed her harder against the door and a cracking noise came from it again— but this time it was significantly louder. "This door wouldn't hold out very long."

"Oh Edward..." she moaned, provoking him.

"Bella..." he hissed dangerously, his lips colliding with hers.

His tongue made it's way into her mouth, and spiraled around hers. She tasted even better than she smelled. He kissed her harder, and the door began to crack again.

In an instant, Bella was swept up into two strong arms and was feeling the wind in her hair. Edward was carrying her close to him, her head resting in the valley of his neck. Her arms were around his neck, and she inhaled deeply, his scent making her crazy.

This is for him, she told herself. This is so I can get my Edward back.

I'll do whatever I can to help.

'Promise to find a way... to pull me back.'

I promised him I would...

And I will.

She looked up at him, at his hair blowing in the wind, and the moonlight that gently shone through the trees as he ran.

She realized that this is where she wanted to be.

She gently moved her lips to touch the skin of his neck, and he hissed.

"Damnit, Bella..."

His lips met hers, and he didn't slow his pace as he kissed her with raw passion. He skillfully dodged trees and other obstacles as his lips selfishly kissed her. His kisses were brusing her lips, but she wasn't complaining. She craved his touch, as much as she wanted to deny it.

Tonight was about them.

Him and her.

Her and him.

The lion and the lamb.

Damn him and his fast running. They arrived at their meadow quickly- it only took about five minutes. He held her close to him, his lips still against hers. He pressed her down against the cool grass and hovered above her.

Edward's body was reacting violently. Blood pounded on his lions. God, it hurt. It begged him to ravage her— he took a deep, uneasy breath.

"Tell me why I want you so much..." he whispered, kissing her neck and groping at one of her breasts.

She moaned and her hips rose up, grinding against his. He growled low. She was not making this easy.

"Because I am yours..." she whispered back. "And I always will be."

'Mine. Mine. Mine. You are mine.'

Edward's head began to pound and his lips met hers. He kissed her hard- hoping he could make sense of the pounding in his head. And he slowly did. It was become clearer- the pounding was dying down.

"Tell me," he hissed, ripping her shirt in two. "Quickly- talk to me about us."

His lips kissed down her chest and he untied the top part of the bathing suit she still had on. His mouth sucked on one of the hardened peaks while she threw her head back. In a state of total euphoria, Bella moaned.

"Us?..." Bella whimpered, watching him remove his own shirt.

"Whenever I think about us... my head pounds... but when I'm touching you, I can..." his hand slid down her flawless skin to the waistband of her pants,"So easily..." his fingers rubbed the outside of her entrance, above the the bottom piece of her bikini. "Forget about the pain..."

Bella moaned and gripped the grass of the meadow.

"You...a...ah...c-came back to Forks...about a w-week ago..." she moaned as he kissed her neck, his fingers still rubbing her entrance, "Y-you... told me you came back... for me... you b-bit me..."

Edward's fingers plunged into her dripping entrance, moving the piece of material covering her out of the way.

"Edward!" she groaned, her body arching upwards.

"Just keep talking to me—" he ordered, "Don't you dare stop."

In one quick movement, he took off the bottom part of her bikini along with her pants.

"You're making t-this very hard..."

"Bella-" his voice was desperate.

His fingers pumped in and out of her at a wild pace, and his lips found her neck again. He bit down on a certain spot that only her Edward would know. She moaned and her breathing became labored.

"You told me y-you loved me... you pr-promised me that no one could take you away from me... ohhhh God, Edwardd..." she drawled.

'I promise that there is no one in this world that can take me away from you...'

He then ripped his pants open rather quickly- desperately. His hardened erection coming free. Her eyes widened at the sight of it. It was a marvel, really- like if you visited a natural art museum, you would see statues of naked men. Edward belonged in one of those museums.

She bet that he could make all the statues jealous of him.

"More... more..." he snarled, helplessly thrusting his cock against the outside of her dripping core. She wrapped her legs around his waist and he licked his lips.

"Y-You..." Bella was breathing hard. "You got into a fight with Jacob... because you were so protective of me—"

'It was a mistake you made. To touch someone who's not yours.'

Edward groaned, his head was spiraling in pain.

"Edward are you al-alright?" Bella whimpered.

"Yes..." he replied, spreading her legs suddenly.

"After your fight with Jacob, I went to you— you asked me to... find a way to pull you back..." Bella stuttered.

'Promise to find a way... to pull me back.'

'I promise you, Edward... I will get you back.'

Edward's head hurt more than before and he grunted. He wanted desperately to plunge into her core— her core that was soaked— for him. For him and only him. Scenes flashed before Edward's eyes- the night Bella was talking about- it was becoming clear... he closed his eyes tightly.

'I love you... Bella... believe me that no matter what happens... I'll always love you...'

"Bella..." he moaned, spreading her legs the farthest apart they could go.

I can't wait.

"E-Edward?" she replied.

'Don't leave me-'

'Silly Bella. Why would I do something like that?'

Edward sharply thrust into her, and she let out a yelp. He hissed at the tightness and pressed in deeper until he filled her completely.

'Lets... make love.'

Then, all of the sudden, it all made sense. He had found and put together all the pieces of the puzzle.

Love for Bella filled his entire being— he remembered everything.

Edward moved harder— faster— everything was becoming clear. He was remembering. Tanya's spell was no where as effective as Bella's love.

"Ohhh Edward..." she moaned, her hands pinned down by his.

He looked at her with her favorite crooked smile as he thrust particularly hard. She moaned, her thrusts meeting his.

"Do that again—" he ordered, biting at her neck.

She lifted her hips again and he thrust hard, filling her. She threw her head back.

"Fuck—" he cursed.

'I love you.'

'I love you too.'

"Who do you belong to?!"

She bit her lip, her darkened eyes were closed in sheer pleasure. God, she missed this.

He thrust particularly hard— and her eyes snapped open.

"WHO?!" he roared.

"Yo-you!" she cried in response.

"Say my name..." he ordered.

"E...E..." she could barely form a coherent thought at the moment.

"Bella!" he growled.

"Edward!" she cried, biting her lip.

He smirked, thrusting harder... faster... deeper into the tight wetness. A growl erupted from deep in his chest, a low, predatorial grow.

"Get on your knees..." he ordered.

Bella looked up at him.

"Now," he ordered.

He pulled himself out of her, his hand stroking his member with the sudden lack of her tight passage. She flipped quickly- surprising herself at the speed- and went onto her knees. Her hair was a mess, but he seemed to like it. Bella looked back at him and bit her lip. She heard him growl and come behind her.

"You make me so fucking hard—" he whimpered, bend over her and biting her earlobe.

She could feel the tip of his cock at her entrance.

"Edward..." she begged.

"Tell me what you want..." he hissed, one of his hands at her entrance— his fingers stretching her to accomodate his size from a different angle. The other hand roughly kneaded one of her breasts.

"I- I..." she whimpered.

"Say it..." he said in a sultry whisper, sucking on her earlobe.

"I want you to—" she managed to say.

"Bella—" he needed this too. He was starting to ache. He teased her by gently putting in the tip of his cock into her core and moving around a little.

"God... I want you inside me—" she said.

He shoved his swollen shaft into her dripping cunt and immediately let out a growl at the sensation.

"Spread your legs wider—" he ordered.

She did as instructed, and he filled her completely.

"Ohhh fuck... you're tighter in this position..." he growled.

His pumps were irratic and lust driven. But there was something behind his movements... it was love.

Bella closed her eyes. He was back. He was back. He was hers.

He gripped her breasts roughly, creating a tempo by slamming her waist against his. His chest was pressed against her bare back and he nipped at her neck. He humped her hard— very much like an animal— and uncontrollable growls came from his throat. He felt her walls tighten around him.

"I'm going to- I'm going to-" Bella said, breathlessly.

"Hold it—" Edward ordered.

Edward moved in and out faster, his own release building quickly. He could feel his cock throbbing with the anticipation of a much needed release. And he knew she could too.

"Ed- Edward..." she moaned, "Please..."

"Not yet..." he hissed.

He thrust harder, and his tempo became irratic. His whole body began to tremble— the first sign of a mind-blowing orgasm. Bella, by this time, was moaning uncontrollably.

"I can't... I can't hold it..." she whimpered.

"Now... now, Bella!" he growled.

Bella's tight walls tightened around his member and her juices enveloped around him. Edward gave one last deep thrust, and he pressed himself hard against her. He exploded inside of her, his body trembling in satisfaction. He had come to a release he could only find with her.

Edward took himself out of her and rolled over unto his back, next to her. Bella collapsed onto her elbows. Her head touched the ground while her knees still stood. She was trembling and gripping the grass with her hands.

"Bella..." Edward's velvet voice whispered.

Bella turned her head to left, her eyes gazing right into his golden ones. Her breathing was still heavy as she collapsed onto the cool grass. She laid on her back next to him, and closed her eyes as her chest heaved up and down.

"I love you," he whispered.

She opened one eye and looked to him.

"How long ago did you sense her approaching us?"

"Realized about half-way into it."

"Why didn't you stop?" she asked.

"Figured that if she got here in time, she would enjoy the show."

Bella laughed softly, flashing Edward his favorite smile.

"You're a dangerous creature, you know that, right?" he asked with a smirk.

"I've been told..." Bella replied, sitting up and grabbing the top piece of her bathing suit. "Once or twice..."

Edward chuckled and zipped up his pants. Bella found the bottom piece of her bathing suit but was stopped by Edward.

"Do you really have to? I still have to thank you for snapping me out of her curse..." he asked, honest curiosity in his voice.

Bella laughed, pulling up the bottom piece. "I don't think she'll like that very much."

"I don't care what she likes," Edward said, kissing her neck.

Bella's eyes widened suddenly. There was a place on her neck that was extremely tender. She looked to Edward in alarm.

"Nice mark you have there..." Edward chuckled.

"W-What... you... bit me?!" Bella stuttered.

Edward lightly kissed over the mark.

"Yes. Relax, it's a territorial mark."

"A territorial mark?"

"I'm marking what's mine."

"Edward-" Bella began.

He licked the mark and delicious chills shot through her body. She bit her lip, "Ohhh..."

Edward pulled away suddenly. He let out a frustrated growl.

"Make a sound like that again... and we're going to show her round two."

Bella shook her head and laughed. She looked around for her shirt and realized it was ripped in two.

"Aw... Edward!" she scolded.

He chuckled, "Yes, love?"

She looked around and, finding Edward's shirt on the ground, she ripped in half. She heard him growl, a low, playful growl. She looked up at him and placed her hand on her hip.

"Now we're even."

"Not quite... theres still something covering your chest..." he whispered, tugging on the knot that held up the top piece of her bathing suit.

She widened her eyes in alarm.

He chuckled and let her go as she quickly found and pulled up her sweatpants. They were loose and barely hung on her hips, and between that and the bikini top she had for a shirt, Edward was having a hard time staying in control.

Bella looked over to Edward and smirked. Their marble skin glowed in the moonlight.

"She's close now," Bella whispered.

"You scared?" Edward replied, his arm going around her waist as he stood next to her.

Bella crossed her arms, a smirk appearing on her face.

"You know, I never got a real chance to try out my telekinesis powers..."

Edward raised an eyebrow suggestively. Something about her confidence turned him on.

Well, it was either that or the fact that the top part of her bathing suit barely covered her breasts.

"She's had this coming for a long time..." Bella hissed.

Edward nodded, not really paying attention to what she was saying. His eyes were glued on her delicious, smooth marble skin...

Bella shook her head and closed her eyes, feeling Edward's eyes on her.
