***BPOV***

Edward broke off our kiss again, and I could tell he was out of breath.

I pondered for a half a second whether Carlisle had been right or if vampires could actually drown, because I am sure that keeping both of us afloat and being this close to me couldn't be easy for Edward.

Once we were out of the water, I pulled up some of my weight so that it was more evenly distributed around his shoulders and I placed my forehead up against his neck.

He always claimed that he wouldn't run into a tree while he was carrying me, but I wanted to help him avoid this possibility nevertheless.

And then there was the fact that I had felt him stiffen up against me in the water.

What can I say? I was curious. So I snuck a quick look down past his belly to see what Edward looked like, naked and erect.

Wow, I thought to myself, not too bad. It's the same color as his eyelids.
