Into the Woods

Chapter 12
"So most vampire sample the humans?"
"Yes. They are more violent, more intense and animalistic than those who refrain."
"Do they, you know… hunt the people or do they order them online?"
"What?"
"Like calling for a taxi or a pizza delivery guy? Maybe a call girl or gigolo?"
Edward laughed.
"Most hunt their meals."
"Good to know." Bella huffed as they continued to walk through the lush terrain. "So if I were to run through the forest, would I then switch on some kind of animalistic need to hunt?"
"You're having enough trouble walking through the forest, let alone run."
"I'm just saying"
Edward stilled, looking at Bella as she teetered on a large root before pausing.
In a flash he had his body lined up with hers and she could feel every single muscle that lined the front of him. She could even feel the excitement he was suddenly harboring in his pants.
She looked up and saw his black, calculating eyes watching her as if he was a velociraptor and she was his prey standing in the rainforest.
Bella gasped, falling back ward off the root but he caught her, arms wrapped tightly around her as he nudged them into rutting position and grinded over her several times as he purred.
Scenting her.
It was animalist and erotic and Bella didn't know what to think of it.
"Good thing this isn't awkward at all."
Edward's lips curled to show his sharp teeth before he playfully snapped his jaw shut at her.
"Yes, to answer your question, you would make this an incredibly fun hunt, especially if you fall and bleed. Then I can lose all semblance of humanity in an instance and devour you."
Bella shuddered.
Edward gave a rumbling growl slash purr.
But then his mouth met hers in a soft kiss and then two more and when she looked into his eyes again, they were the soft gold that she was used to. The erotic moment had passed.
"So," Edward started as he picked up the blanket and backpack she didn't notice he was carrying. "The way I look at it, you have two choices. One, you can stumble through the woods for miles where you may stumble and fall, possibly risk bleeding which will make me go into a blood induced rage and eat you. Or two, you hop on my back, where I can run us those miles, worry free a mere seconds."
"Um, option one sounds pretty violent, you know, for me." Bella frowned.
Edward smirked, "Yeah, but it's a win-win for me, so?"
Bella grunted as she swatted at Edward, but he moved with a laugh because he didn't want her to break her hand.
"I think you just want me to mount you."
"Well, I have waited a long time, but I plan to do the mounting."
Bella rolled her eyes as she snickered. "You're going to have to wait even longer."
Edward turned on her, his face which was joyful and light, turned darker. "I would wait for you, forever."
Bella flushed at his intensity, she leaned forward and said, "Did you lose your hormones in the change? I thought you we're e seventeen year old boy."
Edward 's eyes narrowed, he moved closer to her so his body was flush with hers. She could feel every inch of him. "I am very much a man, Bella Swan, as you well noticed moments ago… and now." His nose coasted over her artery.
She was suddenly, very much aware of his manhood. "So um,"
"Yes?" He laughed before he pulled up Bella's face and moved forward to kiss her.
"Yeah."
They stood there, in the silence of the forest moving their lips and tongues together in a sweet and languid motion, just enjoying each other. After several moments they separated, and Bella sighed, pulling him into a hug and breathing him in.
She would never tire of the essence of him.
Her pheromones were driving him insane.
"Climb up on my back, pretty girl. I want to show you my most favorite place but we'll never get there if we stay in this spot."
He helped her climb up on to his back and she straddled him.
One moment they were standing there, the next they were off running through the trees.
Bella loved the way her hair flying free behind her as she watched the trees blur by.
"You got me here, what are going to do with me?" Bella smirked. It took her several minutes to get her footing after the run to the little piece of Edward's heaven.
She learned one thing about Edward Cullen.
He was a show off.
He did not need to go after some deer, tracking it as it twisted and pivoted through the forest, but he did anyway.
He also did not need to climb them up one of the tallest trees in the Pacific Northwest, but he did.
It isn't as easy as it looks holding onto a marble hard vampire as he bolted and jumped and climbed all over the place.
He's lucky she managed to hold on.
She may or may not have fingernails left.
So, after seeing the mountains from over 100 feet above with the river twisting though, they finally found themselves in a beautiful round meadow.
The long grasses swayed with the light breeze, as if waving hello.
Even the flowers danced.
It had to be the place from his journal.
She could tell why it was his favorite place.
"I plan to feed… you." He smirked, enjoying the look of shock on her face.
"That isn't funny."
"You're just sensitive, Bella. Like I would take you out into the middle of the forest just to get you alone and eat you."
"You never know. You've eaten people before and you have been telling me how edible I am."
Edward sauntered, yes sauntered over to Bella as she stood in the grass. Her face was pouty but her eyes shined brightly.
He picked up her hand, running his nose over her wrist and smelling it.
"Would you like me to have a little taste?"
Bella's mouth popped open with a gasp, especially when Edward's tongue tipped out and tickled the small veins under her pale skin.
Her eyes, wide and beseeching, suddenly closed as his tongue flattened. He licked the width of her wrist before moving up her arm. Edward's tongue swirled with ticklish circles before his sharp teeth scraped at the skin. His hand, which was holding her arm tightened as he continued the languid motion.
Then he moaned.
Bella clenched her legs together, her body flushing hot in the cool breeze as he chuckled deep in his throat.
Then, much to Bella's dismay, he moved away and said, "Imagine that all over your sweet, hot body." Bella shuddered before he moved in close, whispering in her ear, "I do, all the time."
"Oh!" She gasped her breath hitching as her mind raced with the images of what he did. It was as if the pictures were portraying a movie of thoughts, of actions.
Edward lay in the middle of his bed, soft music in the background as he looked out into the trees of the forest, bordering the house. His widows open, letting the draft in.
All the sudden, the music changed with the press of a button. The music came in rough and loud, throbbing, as Edward unzipped his pants pulling them down his hips.
Bella held her breath, anxious and wanting to see him so badly.
He was what fantasies were made of.
A hand moved and cupped his thickness, circling around and moving back and forth. His head pushed into the pillow, jaw tight and lips lined.
Moving fast, but not giving anything away.
She watched aptly, vaguely aware of the vampire before her, lips kissing down her neck.
Edward moaned, moving faster, grunted and recoiled, his body growing rigid as his hand suddenly pushed all the way to the base and his essence sprang forward, staining his dark jeans as he finally moaned her name.
"See?" He said, his long tongue lining the length of her vein. He was so tempted to bite her flush face. So tempted because her blood was so close to the surface.
He pulled her to him and she felt him, all of him, thick and ready.
"Yes," she whispered her reply and shuddered.
"Mmm, I want you so badly, Bella." He groaned but didn't move away.
But then the picture changed inside her mind.
It was familiar.
Her room.
Window open.
Bella in her bed, laying in nothing but a shirt and panties.
He stood outside the window, perched in the tree.
She was talking in her sleep, the air crisp and clear hours before the morning fog.
"Edward ," the soft feminine voice called to him from within the room.
Her body shifted, legs spread wide as her hand tickled and teased her most sensitive spot. She giggled, smiling in her sleep, cooing his name as the other hand moved to cup one of her breasts.
Her delicate hands pushed and pulled at the tight nipple.
"Oh Edward," She gasped, pushing her pelvis outward, seeking friction, seeking him.
He sat, watching aptly as her movements began in a hurried motion, her breath panting in and out as she begged for more.
He observed the way her body, heated with her excitement writhed before him, as she dreamed of him.
Intoxicating and exotic, never before had he bared witness to such beauty.
He palmed himself, rubbing over thick denim, his hand crushing the thick bark as it fell to the grassy ground.
"I need you," She gasped out, high pitched as her body flared and throbbed. He could smell the sweet smell of her wafting through the cool air.
She lay spent over the sheets, fast asleep even though her heart still raced.
Edward pushed open the window, going inside in silence.
He picked her up carefully, enjoying the way she hummed her content and wrapped her arms around his neck. He adjusted the sheets before laying her into the middle of the bed.
He searched for her blanket, finding nothing but a thin comforter, and laid it over her, followed by a blanket that lay in the wooden chest.
Satisfied that he had adequately covered his mate with warmth, he moved toward the head of her bed and gave her a slight kiss upon her forehead, wishing her goodnight.
He then went through the window, closing in tightly to trigger the lock.
It was then he smelled the worst smell ever.
Wolf.
No doubt he smelled and heard Bella, as well.
Edward released Bella's hand; his thoughts becoming his own again and saw the rage boiling from within.
"Jake?"
