forest

bella leans into edward,

the cool night breeze swirling around them.

the stars twinkle and shine,

dancing in the sky

like diamonds.

bella plays with the ring around her finger

as she hums quietly,

soothing the beast.

edward is twitchy

and every once in a while he starts shaking his head

or gets up and paces.

he's tense,

which is bad

but good too

because when it finally gets to be too much

edward lets out a growl

and flips her over

and his fingers do a lovely job

of making her forget all about the rocks digging into her back

and the bruises she's going to have in the morning.
