Thank you all so much for the amazing reviews, please keep them coming. I've tried to reply to all of them, but I apologise if I have missed anyone.

Also, sorry about Charlie, guys! I do love Charlie but it was necessary for the plot. Maybe another chapter will help ease the pain.

Once again, I don't own Twilight or any of the characters.

We spent an amazing few days together, just talking, getting to know each other and making love often. We couldn't get enough of each other and neither of us wanted to leave our little bubble. The only time we dressed was to go to the shops to get some supplies for the human. It was wonderful, but eventually we decided that we needed to get organised to move.

It wouldn't be long before I needed to feed again, and I was rather eager to start back on my 'vegetarian' diet, now that I had decided to do so. I was pleasantly surprised that I never once felt blood lust towards Bella. She smelt amazing, but not in that way. It must have been the mating connection that stopped me feeling any blood lust from her scent. I cannot imagine the pain I would have suffered if I had found her scent difficult to resist, especially if anything had happened to her because of me.

On the third day, we dragged ourselves out of bed and prepared ourselves to spend a little time apart. She was going to her dorm to collect her things and to speak to the college about dropping out. I was going to purchase a car so we could transport all her belongings; I didn't really have anything I wanted to take with us to wherever we decided to move. We would meet back at my apartment when we were done, and despite knowing it really wouldn't take us long, we were both dreading being apart for any length of time.

I felt her loss as soon as she walked away from me outside my apartment block, and from how many times she looked back longingly at me, I could tell she felt the same. I forced myself to move and get on with my tasks for the day and not curl into a ball like I really wanted to. I felt a dull ache settle into my chest at being away from her.

Ignoring the pain as best I could, I headed to the Volvo dealership to find a suitable car for our journey. I was fairly well off, having inherited a substantial amount of money from my biological parents and invested it wisely over the years. When you've been alive for as long as I have, it's quite easy to accumulate a lot of money. When I'd told Bella that money was no object for our move, she had started to complain that she didn't have much to contribute and it wasn't fair to use all my money. I told her I didn't care and that after living alone, hardly using my money, I was so happy to have someone to spend my money on. She agreed to go along with things for now, but I knew it still made her a little uncomfortable.

I entered the showroom and was approached by the salesman who took one look at me and my obvious youth, and decided that I must be here just to mess around. I tried to ignore the thoughts going through his head and asked a few questions about the cars. He answered my questions fairly politely, but with obvious annoyance at having his time wasted. When I told him I wanted the car I had chosen in silver, he looked at me dubiously.

"You know the price of this car?" he said condescendingly, "There's a second hand car lot just down the street that might be more suited to you."

"I know exactly how much this car is," I sneered, "and I would like it with all the optional extras. I assume you take credit card?" I pulled out my American Express Black card and handed it to him, as he looked at me with wide eyes.

"Yes, of course, sir," he grovelled, "I'll get that ordered straight away, sir." Then he scuttled off towards his computer with his proverbial tail between his legs.

I left the store soon after. The car would be delivered to my apartment in two days, which would give us time to decide where we were going and hopefully find somewhere to live. I headed back towards my apartment to wait for Bella.

My apartment felt very lonely, without Bella in it. I missed her so much already that it physically hurt. It was as though a hole was forming in my chest and I had only been away from her for a few hours. I didn't understand how Carlisle and Esme managed to be away from each other all the time while he was working, if it was like this for them. Perhaps, this feeling faded when you had been together for longer or Bella and I shared some sort of stronger bond, though I'd never heard of anything like that before.

I had been at the apartment for around half an hour, when I heard a cab pull up outside and I looked out the window to see Bella stepping out. I could feel the hole in my chest reducing, as soon as I saw her beautiful face. I raced down the stairs, listening out for anyone in the other apartments as I moved at my own speed. I slowed as I rushed out of the building and swooped her up into my arms as soon as I reached her.

"I missed you," I breathed into her ear, hugging her tightly to me, relishing in the fact that the pain I had felt for the last few hours had now disappeared completely.

"Me too," she sighed, "I'm glad to be back."

I wanted to carry all of her stuff up the stairs, it weighed nothing to me anyway, but she insisted on helping. As soon as we entered the apartment, I took the box out of her hands and lifted her up into my arms again.

"I hated being away from you," I murmured, as I peppered her face with kisses. "I know, it really wasn't that long to be away from you, but I missed you so much, baby."

"I know, it was the same for me. I felt like there was a hole in my chest the entire time I was away from you; it only went away when I saw you again," she said, as I looked at her in amazement, knowing that she had felt the exact same thing as me at being away from each other.

I couldn't resist her any longer so I wrapped her legs around me, holding her up by her bottom, and kissed her deeply, running my tongue along her lips. Our tongues tangled together and I could tell that she was feeling almost as desperate as I was. Our short time apart has affected us both and we needed to be close to each other, to feel each other.

She moaned as I pressed her up against the wall and kissed along her neck, pulling her top aside so that I could continue kissing along her shoulder.

"I need you," she whimpered, "Now."

"I know, baby," I groaned, "I need you too."

I set her down on her feet, only long enough to remove her clothes and my own, before lifting her up into the same position as before, pressing her lightly against the wall and supporting all her weight. I lined myself up with her entrance, and pushed myself deep inside her in one fell swoop.

She groaned at the feeling of me filling her and I groaned along with her at the feeling of her warm, wet heat surrounding me so completely. Any remnants of pain from our time apart, disappeared completely at the feeling. This was home. Wherever she was, that was home.

I thrust hard inside her, over and over again, beginning to feel her muscles clench around me as she neared her climax and I knew that I wasn't going to last much longer. I reached my hand between us, still supporting her full weight with my other arm, and circled my finger around her clit, forcing her orgasm just as I reached mine and I growled as I pulsed inside her.

"I love you, baby," I whispered, "I never want to be away from you again, but if that's the reunion every time, then I suppose it's not all bad."

"OK, so... we need somewhere with not too much sun, near a forest, quite isolated but near enough to shops for my food etc. Anywhere come to mind?" she asked, as we sat in front of my laptop, later that day.

"How about New Hampshire?" I asked. "I know it's quite far, a couple of days drive from here but it's not too sunny and I've found a beautiful little cabin, quite isolated, near the White Mountain National Forest, only a 20 minute drive from Jackson for anything we need for you." I opened the pictures of the cabin from the real estate website on my laptop to show her.

"Oh, wow," she gasped, "It's beautiful! Does it come with the furniture?" I nodded. "I love it! I can't wait to sit in that little window seat and curl up with a good book." I smiled at the joy in her eyes. I felt a bit selfish at her having to uproot her life for me, but she looked so happy and excited about the whole thing.

"That's settled then," I stated, "I'll call the real estate agent right away and see how soon we can go. The sooner the better, as long as you are really sure about this?" She jumped up and down, nodding her head, the excitement clear in her eyes.

A little while later, I hung up the phone after speaking to the agent.

"It's all sorted," I told her, "We can move in whenever we want. The seller is eager for a quick sale and as I'm willing to pay cash, it can be sorted quickly. When do you want to leave?"

"Soon," she said, "I've nothing keeping me here now. I'm ready to start a new life with you!"

I pulled her into my arms, kissing the top of her head and breathing in her amazing scent, "Me too, love, me too," I whispered.

Two days later, we were all packed up and ready to go. Between us, we didn't really have a lot of belongings, some clothes and Bella had a few knick-knacks, things of her dad's that she didn't want to part with, but it all fit easily in the Volvo.

It would take us almost two days to drive the length of the country to New Hampshire from Seattle, and I had offered to find some hotels to stay in along the way for Bella to sleep, but she was so eager to get to our new home that she insisted on just sleeping in the car so we could get there quicker.

We spent a lot of time chatting. We had only known each other less than a week so there was still a lot we didn't know about each other.

I bombarded her with questions about her favourite books, movies and TV shows, though I hadn't seen a lot of them over the last fifty years, but she loved the classics so there were still quite a few that we were able to talk in depth about. I asked about her favourite colours, flowers, gemstones, and I filed these pieces of information away for when I would be buying her presents. I asked her to tell me stories from her childhood. I couldn't get enough information about her, I needed to know every single thing there was to know about her.

She asked me about where I spent my time throughout my years, particularly during significant events in history. She asked me about people I had met and if there was anyone I had spent much time with apart from Carlisle and Esme – there wasn't. She asked about other vampires and if there were many out there – enough, but perhaps not as many as you'd imagine. She asked about how we all managed to keep the existence of vampires secret from the human world, especially as technology evolved.

"There are a group of vampires in Italy called the Volturi," I explained, "They are the rulers of our kind. They make sure that vampires aren't causing scenes or exposing themselves to humans and if they are they deal with them."

"So, would you be in trouble if they knew about me?" she asked, nervously.

"Probably," I answered truthfully, "But they will never find out about you so that's not a problem." She looked at me sceptically, but didn't say anything else on the subject. Maybe I was just burying my head in the sand, but we were headed somewhere very remote so it was a problem for another time.

We stopped at a service station towards the end of the first day so Bella could have something to eat and have a human moment, as she had taken to calling it. We'd had a lot of fun chatting all day, laughing with each other and even though I knew she really needed her sleep, I was going to miss talking to her as she slept.

We were back in the car about an hour when she started to yawn and I insisted that she lie her seat back and get some sleep or I would have to find somewhere to stop so she could rest. She really didn't want to lose all the time she was sleeping so she gave in and lay her seat back to go to sleep. It didn't take long until she was fast asleep, her face looking so beautiful as she rested.

After a few hours of being asleep, she started moving around in her seat. At first I thought maybe she was walking up, but her breathing and heart rate stayed the same so I realised that she must be dreaming and I smiled wishing that I was able to read her mind, so I could see her dreams along with her.

"Edward," she murmured, and my heart began to soar. She had spoken in her sleep before, but she had never said my name. I was so ecstatic that she was dreaming about me. I knew that if I could dream at all it would be of her. Even more now, I wished I knew what she was dreaming of.

"Yes, oh yes," she moaned and I smelt the scent of her arousal fill the car. No need to wonder about her dreams any more, I thought, as I felt myself harden instantly, my erection straining against my zip. This was going to be interesting.

I forced myself to grip the steering wheel tighter, to stop myself from reaching over and touching her as I so wanted to do. She writhed on her seat making erotic sounds and I struggled against what I really wanted to do and what I knew I should do.

I took a deep breath, smelling the scent of her arousal that surrounded me and my hand moved of it's own accord off the steering wheel, to rest on her bare knee, just below the hem of her skirt. I just couldn't help myself, I had to touch her in some way. Slowly tracing random patterns on the inside of her thigh, still at her knee, I heard her heart rate quicken and I glanced down to see her eyes flutter open.

"Bella, you're killing me here," I moaned, "What were you dreaming about?"

"Oh, ummm...," she hesitated, clearly feeling a little shy about telling me about her dream. "We were..."

"I think I know what we were doing, baby" I said, so she didn't have to continue when she was feeling embarrassed. "You were driving me crazy with your moans and words." I continued tracing patterns on her leg, slowly moving up her thigh towards her apex.

"You seem to have created a little problem for yourself with that naughty, little dream," I whispered to her, just as I reached the cotton of her underwear, which was already soaked through, "Maybe, I can help you out with that?" I ran my finger right up her drenched underwear, eliciting a moan as she squirmed in her seat.

"But... you're driving...," she stuttered.

"Oh, don't worry about that. I can concentrate on many things at once and besides, you really need this," I told her, still running my fingers up and down her sex, still outside her underwear.

"I hope you aren't particularly attached to these," I breathed, as I hooked my fingers into her underwear and quickly ripped them away from her body. She gasped at the feeling of it, which quickly turned to a groan as I slipped my fingers into her wetness, circling her bundle of nerves before plunging into her warm depth.

"It's a shame my other hand is occupied. I very much want to give your nipples some much needed attention," I said, "Maybe, you can help me out there."

Slowly, she moved her hand up her chest, slowly unbuttoning her blouse. When she had exposed her bra, she pulled the cups of it down, revealing her beautiful breasts and hard nipples. I suddenly wished I'd stopped the car, so I could fully appreciate the view, but there was also something exciting about that fact that we were doing this while I was still driving.

I glanced down at her quickly, watching as she nipped and pulled at her own nipples, while moaning softly, as my fingers pumped in and out of her, the heel of my hand rubbing on her clit as I moved. Already I could feel her muscles clench around me, as she neared closer to her climax.

"Let go, baby," I crooned, "Let me see you come hard on my hand."

With that she exploded, moaning inarticulately and I rode out her spasms with her. I slipped my fingers out of her and put them in my mouth, tasting her amazing flavour. I needed more, so I quickly turned off the highway and down a small road where we wouldn't be disturbed, especially this late at night, and pulled over to the side of the road.

"I need you, now," I groaned, as she sat up and I quickly pushed my seat back to give us more space, before pulling her onto my lap. I captured her lips roughly with mine, our tongues tangling together. I was too far gone to wait any longer, so without breaking our kiss, I reached down, opening my jeans and pushing them and my underwear down past my hips. I lifted her up slightly, lined myself up with her entrance and lowered her down onto me as I groaned at the feeling of being inside her again. There was no better feeling than being surrounded by her wet heat.

I easily lifted her up and down my length, taking all her weight and doing all the work. She let her head fall back in pleasure as she panted heavily. Listening to her dream and watching her touch her breasts had turned me on so much that it wasn't going to take long for me to reach my climax. I held myself off a little longer, but soon I reached my hand between us to circle her swollen bundle of nerves, pushing her over the edge just as I found my release, growling into her neck.

"Well, that was a nice way to wake up," she smirked. "You can wake me up like that any time!" Our breathing finally slowed down and I lifted her off me, setting her back down on her seat. I fixed my trousers as she buttoned her top and pulled her skirt back down her legs.

"Looks like I'll be going commando for the rest of the journey then," she commented, with a grin. I looked at her sheepishly.

"Sorry about that, but they were in my way," I replied with a chuckle, and with that she settled back into her seat. After a few minutes she fell back asleep, and I found myself hoping for more dreams tonight.

I managed to make it through the rest of the night without touching Bella again. Unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately for Bella, as she needed her sleep, she didn't have any more dreams so it was only knowing that she was going commando that caused me to struggle to keep my hands away from her.

Despite the fact that she was lying right next to me the whole time, I really missed her. I had spent the last fifty years alone, so you would think I would be used to my own company, but since having her in my life I just couldn't imagine life without her.

Maybe someday I could make her like me and then I wouldn't have to miss her while she slept. As soon as the thought flitted through my head, I chastised myself. I couldn't wish this life on her! She was so beautiful, so full of life, she deserved better than this. She deserved a human life with all the things a human life could give her that this life couldn't.

I began to think of all the things she would miss out on, even just by being with me as a human. Perhaps, I should do the right thing, the noble thing, and leave her to her human life. But as I thought about leaving her, the hole in my chest that had been there when we were apart a few days ago, ripped open again, leaving a chasm in my heart and the pain overwhelmed me. No, I couldn't leave her, the pain would be too much and she had described the same pain at being away from me. I could definitely never leave her knowing that it would cause her pain.

But she was human, mortal, someday she would have no choice but to leave me. What would I do then? Again the pain hit me as I thought of her dying some day, leaving me here with nothing but pain. The only way to stop that was to make her like me, but I couldn't do that to her, could I?

The sun was just starting to rise, turning the sky a beautiful orange colour and Bella's heart rate started to increase as she began to stir. I couldn't think about this any more now. We had plenty of time to think about this, but I wouldn't be the one to bring it up. I desperately wanted her to be like me, to be immortal and indestructible so I wouldn't ever have to lose her, but it was selfish and I would never want her to feel pressured into it. One day, I'm sure, she would want to know more about how vampires were made and then we could discuss the possibility of her changing, if it was something she wanted.

Her eyes fluttered open and she stretched her arms above her head, causing her short skirt to ride up her legs. I groaned softly, knowing what was under there, or not under there as the case may be. I pushed those feelings down; there would be time for that later. Now, Bella needed food and a few human moments so I pulled over to a service station.

After Bella had sorted her human needs and had a large, though not very healthy, breakfast, we got back on the road again. We had another full day of driving to go and we continued getting to know each other. Talking about everything we hadn't already covered. She told me more about her mother, who flitted from hobby to hobby constantly and we laughed together at some of the more bizarre ones. We talked about our favourite music and I was pleasantly surprised to learn that, along with today's modern music, she also enjoyed classical music. I told her about playing the piano, though I hadn't played since I had left Carlisle and Esme. She asked if we could get a piano for the cabin, as she really wanted to hear me play. Of course, I said yes, she could have anything her heart desired.

The sun was just beginning to set again, when her hand drifted across to lie gently on my thigh, her fingers tracing small circles. I turned to look at her, arching my eyebrow. She smirked back at me, looking up from under her eyelashes. I quickly found a deserted road and pulled into the cover of the trees, hiding us from any passers-by.

As soon as I stopped the car, she climbed over the seats and into the back, beckoning me to join her. She didn't need to ask twice and I ambled quickly into the back seat, kissing her deeply as soon as I could.

I ran my hands all over her, I couldn't get enough. Driving all this time, knowing that she still had no underwear on, it had been difficult to keep my hands off her but I also really wanted to get to know everything about her so I had held off.

She seemed to be almost as desperate as I was. Soon we had stripped each other of all our clothes and she was straddling my thighs, lowering herself down over me. We both moaned simultaneously at the feeling of me filling her. She began riding me, rocking her hips back and forth, as I palmed her breasts and kissed down her neck. Before long we were both breathing heavily and I could feel her whole body tensing as she came closer to her release.

"Bella... I'm gonna...," I growled as she clenched down on me, screaming my name and I exploded, seeing stars behind my eyelids. I pulled her close to me, holding her tightly, needing to feel her surrounding me completely.

"I love you, Bella, so much," I told her, as she came down from her high.

"I love you, too, Edward," she whispered into my neck.

My recommendations for this chapter is the Angel Series, starting with:

Broken Angel by drotuno

The FIRST in the Angel series. This is my version of New Moon and beyond if Edward didn't return for 2 years. Jacob is NOT the sweet boy everyone thinks he is. What kind of Bella did Edward come back to? How does she react? AU/OOC-somewhat...Future LEMONS! Rated M for a reason. R&R!

There are 4 complete books in the series and she is in the middle of writing number 5. I have read these all a few times and I am currently re-reading them before starting on the fifth one. Really good stories so if you haven't already read them, definitely give them a go!
