Again own nothing all belongs to Stephenie Meyer

The relief that filled my body as I heard her agree to forgive me was over whelming. I had my angel back. I couldn't resist kissing her and feeling her soft plump lips on mine. As the kiss progressed something she said hit me. She had stated that she wasn't happy with our physical relationship. Of course, I knew that already. She was constantly pushing the boundaries I had carefully set to keep her safe, but I always thought it was because she got caught up in the moment. Now I knew she consciously wanted more. I could have fun with this…

As our kiss ended I picked her up holding her in my arms and cradled her to my chest. I looked down at her with a twinkle in my eye knowing what my next question would do to her. She seemed to catch my expression and was inquisitive to its origin.

"So about my boundaries, what exactly did you want to discuss?" As I had hoped she turned a luscious shade of red. It was intoxicating. I could hear the hesitation in her voice as she answered my question. I tried to remain calm as I asked where she thought our boundaries should be, knowing it would only fluster her further and hopefully increase her blush. I was not disappointed. She ducked her head in embarrassment. She was so sweet, innocent, and pure.

I gently lifted her face with one of my finger so that I could look deep into her eyes. She had thought that her body was easy for me to resist. If only she knew! If only she knew how much control and power her body had over me. Many nights I found myself also wishing that things were different. I wanted to be close to her, I wanted to feel her touch on my skin, caress her secret places. I wanted so badly to lose myself in her, but I just couldn't. She was so fragile and I couldn't take the risk. I tried to convey my feelings to her and became discussed with myself. I was a monster who couldn't even be close to the one he loved. I turned away from her in discuss.

Her response surprised me. She knew the dangers but still trusted me. I only wish I could trust myself. She wanted to try…try what? My Bella was asking me for what exactly? Where was she going with this? Try…I had to know and I decided to dazzle it out of her if I could.

I turned to her and smiled raising my eyebrows, "What exactly did you want to try?"

She was completely uncomfortable with my question. She could barley put her thoughts together and I couldn't hold my amusement in any longer. She was not pleased with my reaction and tried to get up from my lap. I was not going to allow that so I held her tighter.

She was not pleased and narrowed her eyes at me before crying angrily, "Let go of me! I have to get home before Charlie notices I am missing. I'm supposed to be sick remember?" She was so beautiful when she was angry. Reluctantly I loosened my grip on her, and watched as she stomped her way to my door. I was not about to let her leave without me, but before I could protest she irritably asked if I would join her. I should have kept better control over my emotions. I just couldn't help smiling at her reaction. She was obviously very upset but still wanted to be with me, so it couldn't be that bad.

As we walked down the hall I wrapped my arms around her unable to resist the feel of her skin any longer. Oh how I had missed her warmth these past few days. If only she could know how miserable I had been. She was too angry with me to allow me to hold her so I let her go reluctantly.

Just then I caught Jasper's thoughts. Bella is fuming! I thought Edward and Bella just made up? What the hell did he do this time? Whatever it is he better apologize! I don't want to deal with his depression again. I glared at Jasper as we passed his room, just as he yelled, "Hey Edward, what did you do this time? She's really angry." I growled softly at his question. I would deal with him later.

Bella wouldn't look at me the entire drive. I watched as her body slowly relaxed the closer we got to her house. I couldn't keep my eyes off her, and smiled hugely. She was my angel. She was not happy with my expression when she finally turned to look at me, and she thought I was poking fun at her. How could she think such a think? I was simply over-joyed to be in her presence again.

I looked deep into her eyes before I said, "Bella, please don't be cross with me. I'm not laughing at you. I do however, take great pleasure in watching you blush, that I will not apologize for." I leaned my forehead down to meet hers and continued seductively, "You have no idea what that does to me." She turned a beautiful shade of red and sighed sending a wave of her scent towards me. I was forgiven.

We walked into her house together and sat on the couch. I could tell there was something she wanted to discuss with me, and I wondered if she was going to tell me what she wanted to 'try' after all. She seemed nervous and she was biting her bottom lip. I loved it when she would do that. It was quite alluring.

To my surprise and enjoyment she wanted to spend the day alone with me tomorrow.
I would not disappoint her. I did not want to be parted from her ever again. Before I had time to kiss her again I heard Charlie pull into the driveway. I took one last look at my angel before disappearing to her room.

As I got settled on her bed, drowning my self in her scent, I was alarmed by the conversation going on downstairs. I shot up quickly listening attentively. Bella had not eaten in how long? What was she thinking? She needed to eat, she didn't have anything to spare she was so thin already. Anger filled my body. I was appalled with myself. If I hadn't been a total ass then she would never have starved herself. It was my entire fault. I would have to keep a better eye on her and make sure she did not skip any meals from now on. I would have to check with Carlisle to see what he had found exactly in her blood work. I could hear Charlie reprimanding her. He was right I had to admit. She was 18, she did know better! I couldn't lose her. She needed to take better care of herself. She was more fragile than she understood. What was she thinking?!? Just then I heard the door open pulling me from my thoughts, and there before me stood my angel.
