I had the nicest sleep I had had in a long time; dreamless and serene. I awoke, still in Edward's arms. I sighed with content.
"Rest, my love, everything is fine" Edward assured me. I yawned. Edward chuckled. Edward's hair was a perfect mixture of brown, blonde and red, so that it looked bronze. It matched his liquid gold eyes. He was flawless. His skin perfectly smooth, no marks or blemishes. He was too perfect, too perfect to be possible, too perfect to be human.
"My god, you are so lovely. You are so soft, cuddly, warm and breakable. Gorgeous figure, liked you were hand carved. Precious, precious, precious" Edward murmured.
Edward leaned in very close. He lightly traced and fingered my neck with his fingertips. I felt a spasm and I shivered uncontrollably.
"Are you sure you want to do it now?" Edward checked.
"I have never been surer about anything in my life. I have chosen my life now I want to start living it. I want to be with you forever". I confirmed. Edward looked at me intently and then we kissed, so seriously and sincerely. His hand rested on the back of my head.
"I love you Bella. I will always love you. The word 'love' isn't strong enough for what I feel. We belong together". My arms were around his neck, I pulled him closer so that his neck was in the crook of my elbow. While kissing me he lowered my head onto the bed.
"I love you Edward." His eyes were blazing.Edward picked up the rope. I watched the rope as it came towards me; it seemed symbolic of what I would become, an uncontrollable monster. Edward wrapped the rope around me gracefully, lovingly, then lifted up my shirt and gave me a long kiss me on the tummy.
"I can hear your blood slushing and pulsating. You are so alive" Edward said. He moved his head up to my chest where he stopped, his ear on my heart. He could probably feel it beating. Edward stayed there for a long time, listening to my heart, while I stroked his hair.
"I love listening to your heart. It goes patter patter, patter patter. You are just the sweetest thing". He said smiling. We lay like that for what felt like hours, breathing in and out. After a long time Edward said
"I could stay here forever you know, but my love, if you want to do it, we have to do it now. It's twilight. The sinking sun sent lines of light through the room, giving it a mystical, eerie ambience.
"Edward leaned down to my neck and inhaled my scent. He travelled across my body, 'appreciating the bouquet'. My breathing was heavy. Edward pressed his face in my hair and inhaled. His hand held my face and he purred into the hollow under my chin. Edward nudged my pulsating vein with his lips and kissed my neck.
"Are you ready?" his whispered so quietly I barely heard him. I could feel my heart pounding against my chest, as though it was trying to escape. Edward brought himself up to my face, leaning over me like a predator.
"Yes" I breathed. He tilted his head, leaned in and kissed me, a kiss of death. Without breaking eye contact, Edward moved from in front of my face very slowly towards my neck. Then he looked at my neck and slowly lowered himself to it. My heart went mad, I couldn't tell where one beat stopped and another began, it was just a frantic humming. Edward reached my neck, hesitating. he looked at me and I stared back, my eyes wide with fright. My breathing was too loud, my chest heaved up and down. I put my hands on his shoulders. Edward opened his mouth and placed his teeth on the soft skin of the side of my neck, he lingered for a second then bit down into my flesh.
