Chapter Ten

I was going to the Cullen's. I had to see Bella. I was not going to leave there until I convinced her that our love was powerful enough to overcome anything.

I about ripped the doorknob off as I grabbed my jacket from it. I was taking three steps at a time down the stairs. The keys were on the hall table as I snatched them up I tripped over it and bounced my face off the floor. I scrambled up wiping the blood from my nose.

"I hope that stops before I get there. Or I may have bigger problems," I spoke to myself as I hopped into the Volvo.

I spent the whole drive over practicing what I was going to tell her. I had to make sure she understood that I had never felt this intensely about anyone before. That I truly loved her and that I knew that a relationship with her would be hard but that I was willing to take that chance.

I stood there banging fiercely on the cobalt blue French doors. The door flung open and Emmett loomed in the frame. He filled the whole space; I took a couple steps back. Jasper peered around Emmett's shoulder looking at me questioningly. I checked my nose out of nervousness as they both stepped out onto the porch with crossed arms.

"Is there any particular reason why you are pounding on our door like a lunatic?" Emmett sneered.

My whole speech flew out of my head as glared at me. "Uh… I want… um…." I stammered.

"You want what? Cant you speak?" It looked like Emmett was growing with each word that he spoke.

"Bella" I choked.

Jasper snickered incredulously "What makes you think she wants to see you?"

That question sparked my anger. "I don't care if she doesn't want to see me. I need to see her," I snapped.

I heard low throaty growls as they both took a step towards me. From behind them, I saw Bella walk through the door. It was such a relief to see her.

"Boys, calm down I can take it from here," she said in a sweet voice. Emmett and Jasper turned on their heels and chuckled as they strolled in to the farmhouse.

She looked at me expectantly "Edward?"

"I… Um… I just wanted to apologize…"

"Stop! That was not your fault," she stated with her hand on her hips. "I should have known better than to be in a situation like that with you. It was too risky."

"But how were we to know that we would be so connected like that?"

She laughed her sweet singsong laugh and agreed with me. She told me that it felt so good to be able to share her whole self with someone and not fear rejection. She offered me a seat on a swing and she sat down next to me. Again, she sat impossibly close. I wondered if she knew how much she distracted me when she was so near.

"Bella, I…" I could not collect my thoughts.

"Oh EJ just breath for a minute and relax. Emm and Jazz are just teddy bears" she chuckled.

"HA! Yeah right! I know better than that!"

She reached up, wiped my lip, and grinned at me. As she licked her finger, she said, "Sweetie, we should get that stopped before you come inside. It is a good thing the guys didn't smell it. You got lucky cuz you taste divine!"

It was my turn to giggle at her. "Bella, I came by frantic for you. I've been a wreck since I read your note."

"I know I shouldn't have left like that, but I was not sure if I could control myself."

"But you are now?" I pointed out to her.

"Well, I have realized that you are very important to me."

"Bella, that's exactly why I came here. I came to tell you that I cannot be without you and I am willing to do whatever it takes to be with you always."

She quirked her eyebrows and me "Always?"

"Yes. Always."

"Well then if you want to be my man" she giggled, "then you should meet my family properly"

I gulped.

"Oh EJ. Don't worry. I'll protect you."

She pulled me to her and kissed me. My whole body relaxed in her arms as I allowed her to lead. She stopped abruptly. When she pulled back, a small smile was playing at the corners of her lips. I felt the wetness on my own lip as I watched her seductively lick my blood from hers.
