Okay - here's Chapter Three! It's slightly longer and a little more 'adult'. I really tried not to stray from the 'T' boundaries. Well I hope you enjoy it and please review! Thanks!
Chapter Three
My mouth dropped open in shock. He smiled at my expression and took my hand in his, pulling me closer to him.
"Bella, you know I couldn't live without you. I couldn't live if you died. Now someone wants you dead and I'm taking the responsibility to keep you safe. I want you safe at all times and the only way to do that is by being with you at all times," he suddenly laughed. "I guess I can say you are my life in the literal sense, too now."
"Edward, I love you," I said getting closer to him, wrapping my arms around him. A tear managed to escape, but in his embrace, no more came. I was safe with him. I looked up at him as he looked down at me, and kissed him. The usual electricity seemed thousands of times stronger and neither of us was strong enough to control it, not that we'd want to. I twined my fingers in his hair as his pulled me closer to him. Before I knew what I was going, I had his shirt pulled off.
"We can't do this" Edward managed to say through our tight embrace.
"We can, and we will!" I was not in a good mood and this seemed to be cheering me up at an alarming rate. Needless to say I was in no mood to stop now.
My hands found their way to his belt buckle, which easily came undone. I threw it on the floor. He had my top shirt pulled off and had my jeans open. In a flash, they were gone. His pants feel to the floor silently. We slid onto the bed.
"No!" Edward said, loudly. He was talking to himself, telling himself to stop. He rolled off me, lying next to me. We were both out of breath, well Edward's breath just came out in heavy rasps, but I was out of breath.
"Wow. I'm sorry, I honestly couldn't stop myself," I said, in between gasps for breath. I wasn't even embarrassed, lying on my bed in my underwear and a little undershirt tank top and bra, next to Edward, who was only in black silk boxers.
"Honestly, the thought of your blood never passed through my mind. Not once." He said, seeming dazed.
I rolled over and rest my head on his chest. I caressed his chest as I lay, listening to our breathing slow, completely forgetting to be scared.
"We need to get dressed," he said, silently getting off the bed and starting to dress again.
"Are we going somewhere?" I asked.
"I need to get clothes from my room, and I have no intention of letting you stay by yourself, so unless you want to go see my family in that, then I suggest you get dressed," an impish smirk suddenly spread across his face. "Not that I don't like that outfit. I wouldn't mind seeing it on you more often, actually."
I blushed slightly and hurriedly dressed again. I crawled on his back. He ran towards my window and jumped out. If I hadn't frozen with fear I would've screamed. He landed, two stories down, quite easily, as if he just jumped off of my bed rather then my house. Quickly and just in time, I closed my eyes. In a matter of minutes we were at his house.
Esme, Emmett, Carlisle, and Alice were outside waiting for us.
"Hello," said Edward, as I climbed off of his back. I greeted them shyly. I was afraid Alice had seen what Edward and I had done in a vision and ratted us out. They all hugged me like nothing had happened, though. I blew out a sigh of relief.
"Where's Jasper?" Edward asked, as Alice handed him two duffel bags, already full of all of Edward's essentials.
"He and Rosalie went hunting again. A man cracked his head open on the sidewalk in town and Jasper was near him. He almost lost control." Carlisle informed us, looking very tired and overworked.
"Well thanks for packing for me, I'll see you soon." Edward said. He was obviously worried about whoever wrote the letter trying to break into the house while we were gone.
"Goodbye," I said, climbing on Edward's back again.
"Have fun," Alice said, winking at me. I blushed a furious shade of red as Edward scowled at her and started running back to my house. It took us longer on the way back, Edward having to carry two full duffel bags, and me, but we made it in less than 20 minutes.
Once we were in, he ordered me not to get off his back until he checked the house. He gave it a thorough examination before letting me off. He stored his duffel bags in my closest.
"So would you like to do now, assuming that you don't want to go to sleep?" he asked me.
"Umm…" I deliberated. The one time where our time together wasn't limited and I had no clue what to do. He smirked at me. I got a crazy idea all of a sudden. It was this, and my immense craving for chocolate and anything salty, that clued me in that I was close to getting my period. Great, perfect timing. I scowled to myself. He raised an eyebrow inquisitively.
"Let's play truth or dare," I said suddenly. I was amazed at my stupidity to even suggest such a game, especially with Edward.
"Okay," he said, my favorite crooked smile of his appearing on his angelic face. "You can start."
We sat down on my bed, crisscrossing our legs, facing each other. I had made popcorn, forgetting temporarily that Edward couldn't eat it.
"Truth or dare?" I asked him.
"Dare."
Hmm….so many options! I smiled to myself. His eyes widened when he saw my smirk.
"I dare you to…" I didn't want to be too mean for fear of revenge. "…um…take a bite of this popcorn!"
He scowled at me but obliged. He made a disgusted face as he swallowed.
"Truth or dare?" he asked me, still disgusted by the popcorn incident.
"Dare," I said bravely, though I was scared out of my mind.
"I dare you to –" Just then we heard the cruiser pull up in the driveway. I blew out a sigh of relief as Edward glared at me. He shut the blinds and turned off the light. I crawled under my comforter and pretended to be asleep. Charlie came in to check on me then went to bed himself. Edward crawled into bed next to me.
"Good night," he whispered to me, his enticing scent flowing full on at me. Suddenly the electricity was back, thousands of times stronger then even today. My stomach twisted up into a knot as something dawned on me.
"I think there's only one way to get rid of it," I said quietly. He heard me, and he understood. He was only in sweat pants, so with one quick move I ripped them off and threw them out from under the covers. He was in his silk boxers, and the electricity seemed to kick up a notch. I pulled off my pajama bottoms so we were in exactly the same clothes we were earlier.
When he kissed me, the electricity went up so high I was ready to explode. Suddenly we were locked in a passionate embrace. This time it would not end. We would not stop. I was surprised by how hot I was. I grabbed the top of his boxers, pulling them down slowly, when suddenly I fell out of the bed with a big thump. Charlie must've been really tired to miss that. All the electricity disappeared when I fell. I blushed deep crimson and gathered my regular pajamas off the floor, along with my bag of toiletries. He told me to come back to him but I just murmured that I needed a shower and went straight to the bathroom.
I took an Advil for my headache from hitting my head on the floor and got into the shower. A tear escaped from the corner of my eye. I dried off and dressed and slowly crept back to my room. I considered sleeping in the living room but I was too chicken. I silently crept into bed next to Edward and he wrapped his arm around me. This time, thankfully, there was no electricity, and I was free to drift to sleep peacefully, where none of my worries could get to me.
I hope you liked it! It really sort of centered around the whole 'electricity' thing, which will play a major part in the rest of the book. This was just sort of an introduction to it. I'm sorry for the lack of action so far but I can assure you -- The best is yet to come! Thanks for reading and please leave feedback! Nothing inspires an author more than constructive criticism or a little compliment!
