Reawakened

I moved a few weeks before the rest of my family left. I knew it would be for the best. I wrote my Ness a letter explaining things to her. I told her the truth. Her mother was mad at me and rightfully so. I wished I could be what Bella needed … at times. I will forever be her supporter and her partner in so many ways. However, I've broken my promise to her I promised her something that I couldn't deliver. I gave her my flesh when she was willing to lie to herself enough to enjoy it. It felt different being alone this time. I was actually happy on some levels. I had a few weeks where I wouldn't have to wear the shame of my infidelity. I was just Edward.

I moved into a small apartment complex. It was extremely inexpensive and the perfect place for someone like me. I just needed to stow away and recoup. I knew the others would find me if they needed me. I also knew they knew when I needed space. I had quite a bit of money stored up from my novels. I planned to use this time to spit out another. I'd only brought a total of five boxes with me. The apartment came fully furnished so I was pretty much good to go.

I opened my laptop and closed my eyes ready to meet my temptress. The last time I'd written she was listening to me as I played the guitar for her. She was blissfully relaxing as I sang to her. She pulled her feet up onto the couch and my shirt that she was wearing inched its way up her thigh revealing more of her copper flesh. I took a deep breath and then completed the fantasy. It didn't take long to finish a chapter like this smut was pretty easy to deliver and quickly especially if I wasn't engaging in any inappropriate activity. The only problem was I was stewing I was restless and horny which made me temperamental. The only way I knew to relive myself of this frustration was to hunt. I wasn't all that thirsty but it gave me the opportunity to be animalistic and ravish something. I waited until after midnight to leave my new home in search for a seclude area to stalk prey. I abandoned my jacket as I listened for something that would appeal to me. I quickly smelled something in the area … deer. I made quick work of it I didn't dwell but I would be lying if I said the kill didn't feel good. I began to dig a grave for my meal when I heard something.

My need for her was all encompassing. She was out in the wilderness vulnerable and exposed. I wanted to reach out to her to claim her … and invade her.

There were the words from my first book but it was her voice. She was close like really close. Before I knew I found myself running to her and I quickly found her scent as I traveled away from my victims scent. I found her in on a blanket in the park close by. I was a really odd thing for a woman to be sitting alone in a park after midnight. She was lying on her stomach with her legs crossed in the air as she read my novel. And a part of me that had been dormant for years reawakened. I wanted to grab her, I needed to touch her. This may be my only chance. I stalked toward her aggressively before I could catch her by surprise she turned around. Her eyes widened with horror. She scrambled to get up and I saw myself through her eyes I still had blood smeared over my face and my eyes were as black as coal. I didn't care I still pushed forward. Just for one touch.

"No!" She squirmed as I grabbed her by her waist. Every follicle of my body felt alive. I didn't know it was possible to feel this much sensation in my undead body. I pressed my lips against hers. She fought against it at first, but then gather fists full of the fabric of my shirt as she met my hunger with her own. I lifted her and gripped her firmly by her behind. I laid her down her blanket.

"How are you here?" She breathed as I lowered my head to her breasts, I rubbed my face against them all the while taking in her heavenly scent. I ducked one of my hands under her shirt while the other went to unfasten her jeans when I heard someone else's thoughts in the distance. It was the park security.

"Shit! We need to leave I have a place nearby." I extended my hand to her and even though she wanted to take it she shook her head.

"I'm not doing this with you Edward. We're toxic to each other. I have a good thing here … I … I have someone. I hoped I would never see you again," she whispered. She gathered her blanket and her book and started to walk away from me. I grabbed her arm possessively, tighter than I had to.

"Bull shit Leah, you want me to fuck you just as badly as I want to … I can smell it on you." I sounded so dark she took a staggered breathe. "Why waste your time lying to me?"

"I'm not doing this Edward!" She huffed and just like in the past her protest only served to make me want her more.

"I feel sorry for you man," I said with as much distain I could muster. "Tell me Leah, when you fuck him do you think of me?" She narrowed her eyes at me she cussed me in her mind but thought better of saying anything aloud.

"I feel sorry for Bella. Last I heard you were still with her. Good luck with your life Edward … stay out of mine!" She managed to jerk her arm away and I allowed her to walk away. It was by far the hardest thing I've ever done.

Author's Note: So how was Leah so close to Edward? All will be explained. I enjoyed this chapter. I hope you did too. A lot of interesting things to come. I have a new work schedule it should make writing easier. I missed days like today!
