Hi everyone! Thank you so much to the people reading! I just have a few points before we begin.

1. I have decided that Carlisle is a virgin in my story. I have read many where the woman is like this pure little virgin girl and the men are super experienced sex gods. Not only is it unfair, but I dont think that is Carlisle's character at all.

2. They are moving pretty quickly, in terms of intimacy and in terms of Chelsea learning of what he is. I decided on this because there are many stories that begin halfway through the books, and they all already know what they are/how they feel. So I wanted to spend more time on that part of the story than the other stuff.

3. While they dont have sex in this chapter, it does begin to get sexual. I have decided to change the rating from T to M. I didnt know if I was going to include sex in the story, but I have decided that I want to.

4. Please review/follow/favourite :) It keeps my motivation up to post daily updates. I do love this story very much. And I hope to keep it up. I am aiming for 100k+ words. Each of my chapters is about 4-5k words so far, so if I keep finding the motivation, then who knows. It might end up being 200 or 300k!

5. ENJOY! :)

Chapter four

Carlisle

"I am a vampire." I sighed. I looked up from my lap to see Chelsea's eyes flutter closed and her slump forward. "Chelsea!" I reached out and catch her at lighting speed before she hit the ground. Her heartbeat sounded heavy and slow, and her breathing was shallow. Thankfully she didn't hit her head.

I continued holding her, whispering her name over and over, willing her to wake up. There was nothing I could do to force her awake without risking damage.

"Its ok… Everything is going to be ok… Please, wake up… Please… I need you here…" I whispered softly while I rocked her.

Of course I was worried, but I knew she would be alright. Her body had just shut down after the news.

I couldn't help but feel disgusted in myself, in what I am. I wished more than anything that I could be a normal man. I would be finishing college around this time, she would be about to graduate high school. I could move with her to wherever she decided to go to college, if she decided to go. My throat wouldn't burn when she was close to me. I wouldn't be worried about getting too excited and accidentally hurting her. Though I will admit, these two factors are not the most important. I have spent centuries building up my self control.

I also wouldn't have 5 teenage vampire children. I felt guilt well up inside me at this thought. I wouldn't have my children, but every one of them would now be dead.

I was so lost in my longing to be normal, that I didn't notice Chelsea's lavender eyelids part slightly.

"…Carlisle…" She whispered to me. I let out a sigh of relief.

"Shh… Im here. Ive got you." I murmured as I stroked her hair. She was still laying in my arms. She closed her eyes again and sighed contentedly.

Suddenly her eyes opened wide and she pulled herself away from me, no doubt at the memory of the news she had just received.

"Is that why I am here?!" She yelled. "Because you wanted to… Drink my… Ugh I cant even say it!" She gave me a terrified look.

My heart broke at her words and her expression. I huffed in defeat and let my body slump down.

"Answer me, Carlisle." She said, coldly. Each of her words just broke my heart further. I hated myself.

"No. I would never do that to you…" I tried to reply, not able to stop my heartbreak from leaking into my words.

"Why? Am I so different from everyone else?" She accused.

I looked up to meet her eyes. She looked furious, but as soon as she saw the pain on my face, her expression softened. She brought her hand up to touch my cheek. I could feel her heart beating wildly through the contact. I brought my own hand up to cover hers.

"I am not like that, Chelsea," I tried to explain. "I do not harm humans. I would never, ever hurt you, let alone drink your blood." She winced at the last word.

"Then what do you-"

"Eat? My family and I live on a diet of animal blood."

She looked at me skeptically, but then she seemed to accept this. She took her hand back, and sat looking at the ground with a thoughtful expression for a while. I let her absorb all that she had learned in the past few minutes.

About a minute or so later, she looked up at me. Her expression was surprisingly normal again.

"Okay." She said calmly.

I narrowed my eyes. "Okay?"

She nodded once. "I understand."

"Okay…"

"I understand, and it doesn't change anything." She smiled very slightly as she spoke. "I may not have been with you for a long time, but I believe that I know you. I may not know everything about your past, but I know the person you are, right now, in this clearing. You are kind, and loyal, and generous, and gentle. And I believe that you wont hurt me. I accept you."

Her last three words repeated in my head. I accept you.

Relief crashed into me like a wave, and I pulled her to me. I took her into my arms and buried my face into her neck. She hesitated for a moment, and then wrapped her arms around my neck.

"You have no idea how much I want to be normal for you, Chelsea." I mumbled into her neck.

She laughed quietly, and ran her fingers through the back of my hair. "Normal is boring, anyway."

I pulled back to look into her eyes. "Now that you know, I want you to ask me whatever you would like. I will answer as honestly as I can."

For the next three hours, she asked about my family, my work, when I was changed. She asked me about everything that was me. I told her about my time with the Volturi, to which she replied that the painting my study made sense now.

I told her why my family and I have to keep moving around. I told her that we were here once before, a very long time ago, and only recently moved back.

After her questions had stopped, and she had become satisfied enough with my history, I took her in my arms and laid down on the blanket.

After a while, her breathing became deep and her heartbeat became slow and steady. She had fallen asleep. I gazed down at her, and felt a overwhelming adoration for her. I watched her chest rise and fall, and listened to her breathing.

I wished I could join her in falling asleep. I felt slightly sad that I couldn't. I sighed and imaged we were both laying here with our eyes closed, dreaming together. I would surely be dreaming of her.

My mind now wandered to what she was dreaming of. I would ask her, but I did not want to disturb her. She was so beautiful when she slept. So calm and serene. It was like Heaven had sent an angel to the earth just to find me. With her silver blonde hair, she could definitely pass for one.

She moaned softly against my chest, which brought my thoughts back to the current. I looked down at her perfect face, and watched her. Her brows furrowed and she let out another moan. A light blush began to kiss her cheeks.

"Carlisle…" She whimpered. "Please… I need you…"

I froze as she said this. She was still asleep, so I waited to hear if she said any more.

A few moments later she moaned again. "No, don't stop… Please…"

My eyes widened when I realised. I looked away in embarrassment. Was she really dreaming about me that way?

I had to admit, I had imagined making love to her before. Watching her face contort in pleasure, feeling her body tighten around me, hearing her moan my name while I moved inside her…

I could feel my own desire harden against my slacks. It was slightly uncomfortable. Everyone one of her quiet moans was making it become harder, and driving me crazy.

Though many of my kind use sex as a hobby or something to pass the time, I have never found an interest in meaningless sex. My son Emmett would tease me sometimes and call me the 340 year old virgin. I laughed at the thought of this.

I wonder what he would say if he knew I was laying alone with a beautiful woman while she moaned my name in her sleep. Actually, I don't want to know.

I tried to distract myself from the painful need I was feeling. I began to think about how my classes were managing today without me. I then realised that Chelsea's mother would be notified that she was not at school.

I decided to make text Alice and ask her to find her mothers phone number for me. Just as I was about to hit send, I received a text with a phone number attached.

I began to call the number, and it went straight to voicemail.

"Hello, Mrs. Scott. It is Dr Carlisle Cullen from Forks High," I began quietly. "I accidentally marked Chelsea as absent this morning, and didn't realise until it had already been put in the attendance records. If you received a text message or phone call regarding her absence, please disregard. Chelsea will also be staying back late from school today, as I have offered to help her with some of her school work. Feel free to call me if you need to discuss. Thank you." I hung up.

I put my phone away into my pocket, and felt eyes watching me. I looked down at Chelsea and saw she was no longer sleeping, but had a playful smile on her features.

"Well, well. So much for being so moral, Dr Cullen. Dating a student and lying to her mother. What are we going to do with you?"

I smiled widely. Oh I know a few things… I thought to myself.

"Well, my dear Chelsea, I could easily call her back and let her know that you are laying in the woods with your biology teacher. And I could mention some of the things you said as you were sleeping just now…" I replied, in the same cheeky tone. I mildly regretted mentioning it, as I didn't want to embarrass her. Too much, anyway.

Her eyes widened. "Oh no… What did I say?!" She had an expression of dread on her face.

I brought my fingers up to my lips and pretended to zip them and lock them, and shook my head.

"Carlisle Cullen, you tell me right now! Or I'll.. I'll…" I laughed lightly at her threat.

"You'll what?" I challenged.

"I haven't got that far yet, but I assure you. It wont be nice." She said with a frustrated look. Though I could see she was also slightly amused.

"Fine. I will give you an idea." I cleared my throat and mimicked her moans. Her mouth dropped and her face became furiously red. "Please Carlisle… Don't stop…"

Her horrified expression made me even more amused. I began to laugh, and she playfully slapped my shoulder.

"Come now, don't be embarrassed." I cooed to her. "It was quite flattering." She rolled her eyes, and looked away. But I could see the hint of a smile playing on the corner of her lips. "Ok. I apologise. That was not very gentlemanly." I put on my most apologetic expression, and she looked back at me.

"Well… I guess I forgive you." She said with a smile. I pulled her closer to me and pressed my lips against hers. They were so soft and wonderful. I felt her sigh against my lips and heard her heartbeat begin to quicken.

Now that I knew how much she wanted me, it was very hard to restrain myself from deepening the kiss. I was already battling myself inside, when she ran her hand through my hair and gripped it lightly. I let out a rough growl, and let myself go.

I put my arms around her tighter and rolled her over onto her back. I heard a small moan escape her throat. I was half on top of her, half leaning on the ground now. I propped myself up on my left elbow, and ran my right hand down her side. I felt the curve of her waist and groaned. She was gorgeous.

I began kissing down from her lips, to her chin, and along her neck. I inhaled her scent deeply and felt slacks grow tighter.

I brought my face back up to hers and looked into her eyes. They were a glittering golden brown, like smokey quartz.

"Chelsea… You do not know the effect you have on me…" I growled against her lips as I brought my own down on them.

"Then show me…" She purred seductively.

Those three words almost brought my 300 years of self control to rubble.

"We cant. Not here… Not today. But I do want to. I have wanted to for so long…"

She just nodded sadly.

"Can I ask you something?" I said to her, while kissing her nuzzling into her neck once more.

She nodded again.

"Have you ever…"

"No, never." She answered calmly. "Have you?"

I hesitated before answering. I did promise her earlier to answer her questions honestly.

I took a breath and answered. "Chelsea… You must understand. I am almost 350 years old now. And I have been very lonely in those years…But no. I have never made love to a woman."

Her eyes widened with surprise. "Really? Why?"

"Well, I have never had the desire to share myself in that way with anyone before. I mean, let me explain. Of course I have felt like doing it, but I grew up in a religious family. It was viewed as something between a husband and wife. Although I don't intend to wait until I do indeed get married, but I want it to be with the woman I know I will marry. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Yes, Carlisle, I understand. Thats very admirable." I smiled when she said this. "Maybe… One day we can…" She dropped her gaze from mine as she said this. I could see her begin to blush again.

"I certainly hope we do one day. I would never rush you. I would want you to be ready for it."

"I want you to be ready as well."

I put my hand under her chin and lifted it to look at me.

"You're so wonderful, Chelsea. I have never felt like this before."

"You are as well, Carlisle. I am glad you trusted me enough to tell me what you are."

"I am glad too." I kissed her longingly, and then pulled away. I decided I should check my watch. 4:12. "Chelsea, it's getting a bit late…"

"Cant we stay a little longer? Please?" She pouted as she said this.

I sighed, unable to say no to her.

"Of course we can, my darling. Anything for you."

She sighed happily, and I kissed her head. She closed her eyes and I laid down again as I had been propped up on my elbow for this time. I laid on my back and she nestled into my chest. I put my arms around her and looked into the sky.

She began to fall asleep soon after. I continued watching the clouds moving across the sky.

I lost track of time, thinking about what our life will be like together. At times I did feel as if I were getting a bit ahead of myself, but then I remembered that Alice had seen us together. Never bet against Alice.

I imagined bringing her home to meet my family. Chelsea teaching Esme how to cook, Alice giving Chelsea one of her famous makeovers (though, I firmly believe Chelsea did not need it.), Emmett and Jasper playfully teasing her like big brothers.

I then began to think of what it would be like when she has finished school. Would she want to go to college? Maybe she would like to travel. Whatever she did, I know I would follow her anywhere.

Sometime later, after becoming lost in my thoughts, I checked my watch again. 8:48. I needed to wake her up and take her home, as much as I would like to stay here.

I gently kissed her forehead, then he cheek which was exposed, and then her lips.

"Chelsea, darling," I whispered. "Its time to wake up now…"

She stirred and opened her eyes slowly, blinking heavily a few times.

"What time is it?" She asked, her voice still heavy with sleep.

"Almost 9pm." Her eyes widened at this.

"Oh my gosh! We were out here all day?!"

I laughed lightly and traced small circles on her shoulder with my fingers. "Yes, we were. How are you feeling?"

"Tired… and starving." Almost comically, I heard her stomach growl as she said this. She had eaten some of the cheese and breads that I had brought earlier. But that was hours ago.

"How about we go back down to the house. I will make you some food."

She nodded, and I stood up. I lifted her up bridal style, and decided to come back for the blanket later.

I walked quickly back to the car and placed her gently inside.

I drove carefully back to the house, and tried to calm myself. I was slightly worried about the reaction of my family. I knew that Emmett, Rosalie and Esme had gone hunting. I knew they had taken their hunting trip to our house in Maine. Esme had been meaning to check on the house there, and Emmett prefers the hunting. So they would be gone for another three or four days at the most.

Alice, Edward and Jasper would be home though. I thought to text Alice and ask her to prepare Jasper for her arrival. I took out my phone and suddenly received a message.

"Its all taken care of. Edward is in Port Angeles tonight with a friend. Jaz and I have gone to a hotel in Seattle. You have the house to yourself for tonight."

I sighed in relief. I didn't think I was quite ready for that yet. A second later, I got another text from her.

"PS. I stopped by Chelseas house and asked her mom if she could stay with me tonight. I said we got talking after class and that I had asked if she wanted to study with me. Her mom was more than happy. There are clothes for her in your study, and a toothbrush. Have fun ;)"

Of course, I thought. I smiled at her message, with a little excitement and a little embarrassment.

"What is it?" I heard a sweet, sleepy voice ask.

I laughed lightly and handed her my phone to read the message.

"Well then." Was all she said. I looked over and saw she had a huge smile on her lips, which made me laugh again.

We arrived back at the house, and I quickly got out and opened her door for her. I took her hand and lead her inside. I could smell something coming from the kitchen.

"Something smells amazing!" Chelsea said with a sigh.

Maybe to you… I thought.

I lead her into the kitchen and there was a note on the bench. "Check the oven- A xox"

I glided over and opened the oven. There was a huge ceramic white dish filled with something. I pulled it out and placed it on the bench.

"Oh! My favourite!" Chelsea exclaimed.

Alice must have saw Chelsea telling me her favourite food was eggplant parmigiana. I brought out a plate, a spatula, and a fork for her and served a large portion up.

"Are you not having any?" She asked slightly sad.

"Would you like me to eat with you? I don't exactly eat human food…"

"What would you have then?"

I considered not telling her this, but decided I may as well. "We have a refrigerator in the cellar filled with animal blood… For when we need to stay in town and not hunt." I saw her make a strange face, and regretted telling her.

"Well, I don't mind. I told you, I accept you. I would be happy for you to join me." I couldn't help but smile at her now. She was being so gracious towards this all.

"Be back in a moment." I said as I kissed the top of her head.

I sped downstairs and retrieved a small plastic pouch filled with mountain lion blood and brought it back upstairs. I took out a large glass and poured the contents of the pouch into the glass.

I took a small sip, and looked over at Chelsea. Her eyes were wide.

"Does that really taste nice to you?" She asked.

"Well, yes. Of course, human blood would taste quite a lot nicer. I have never actually drank human blood." I took a sip of my cup, and she put a forkful of her eggplant into her mouth.

"Really? Ever?"

"I have bitten humans, my family is proof of that, but I refuse to feed from a human."

"Wow." Was all she said.

After we had both finished, I cleaned the cup and the plate and put them away.

"You should be getting some sleep now. There are clothes for you in my study if you would like to change into them. I will wait in my bedroom for you. It the door next to the study."

I walked her up the stairs and escorted her to the study. I gave her a quick kiss, and left for the bedroom.

I opened the door and changed from my normal work suit to a thin white cotton shirt and some striped cotton pants. I laid on my back on the bed, and faced the door.

I began to think of Chelsea pulling off her white camisole, and felt myself grow hard again. I couldn't help it. She had the strangest effect on me.

My thoughts were interrupted by the sound of the door handle turning, and a racing heartbeat.

I watched as Chelsea opened the door.

My jaw dropped. She was wearing a white lace chemise and matching panties. She looked positively mortified.

Of course Alice would have left something like this for her.

I heard her take a deep breath, "Well… What do you think?"

I silently rose from the bed and closed the door behind her. I looked her over, and ran my hand along the chemise. She closed her eyes and her breath caught in her throat at my touch. It almost brought me to my knees.

When she opened them again, they were endless pools of desire. I felt like she had set me on fire with her stare. She reached out and took hold of my shirt and pulled me towards her.

My lips crashed down onto hers with a groan. This was going to be a long night.
