Chapter Four
Instincts
EPOV
The scent of her very being was enough to intoxicate my senses. I hungrily kissed her full lips and explored the sweet crevices inside of her mouth with my never satisfied, treacherous tongue. Every little moan or whimper that escaped her throat was another downfall to my self-control as it slowly slipped into oblivion. Her heart seemed to be keeping time to our kisses as it beat frantically beneath her chest. Her tongue was like venom as she ran it gently over my bottom lip leaving a welcoming trail of fire. An involuntary growl sounded from deep within as she placed gentle kisses along my neck and ear.
I could feel her hands slip under my shirt and run along the planes of my chest and stomach. How far can I let this go? I wondered to myself. As if she knew what I was thinking, her lips broke free of my skin and her eyes found mine, searching for permission of an unknown task. Without breaking the link between our eyes, she slowly brought my shirt above my head, letting it fall lazily off the side of the bed.
"You are so beautiful," she mumbled before placing various kisses over my ice cold skin. Once again, fire remained where her lips once inhabited and my body responded in the most traitorous way. Quickly flipping her onto her back, I took her lips once more with mine. The move stunned her for a fraction of a second but she quickly recovered and unexpectedly brought her legs to rest around my waist. The scent of her growing arousal caused a straining in my lower body, but the blood caressing the inner part of her cheeks awoke something else that had been ignored for too long. Suddenly, my senses were alert and I could feel the beast within trying to surface. I became aware of everything within her hot, living body. The blood in her veins sang to me, her heart acted as the maestro, beckoning to me. Dragging my lips to her neck, she inhaled deeply causing her blood to rush through those treacherous veins that called to me like a yucca blossom opens to the sun.
I stared at the ventricle artery that inhabited her beautiful neck as it pulsed in time with the beat of her heart. Just one taste. Go on, it won't harm anything. You know you want it. The beast tempted within my mind and another hungry growl rumbled within my chest.

Edward's forwardness came as a welcome shock to me. I never thought I would be able to seemingly break though his protective walls. I loved him with everything I was, and was now willing, more than ever to give him the only thing that would truly be his. The feel of his bare chest against my still clothed body was making my mind numb and an unused area of my body warm and very moist. If this is how I am reacting now, imagine if…
My thoughts were quickly halted when Edward suddenly growled and pulled away from me. I sat up quickly enough to see his still shirtless form jumping from my window. My mouth hung as I stared out the now vacant window on a stupor. After what seemed like an eternity, I felt my bottom lip quiver and trails of hot tears run down my blazoned cheeks. I slowly fell back onto the bed and assumed the fetal position as a wave of emotions filled my rejected body.

The forest surrounded me as I ran with all that I was. She will be the death of me, or I of her. My more rational mind thought. Pushing my legs to their unrestrictive limits, I ran towards the white mansion, away from something I could not allow to take over. As I approached the outskirts if our property, I saw Alice waiting for me within the doorframe, one of my shirts in hand.
I slowed and closed my eyes as I listened to the wave of words that waited to erupt from her mind.
A/N: I know this was a long awaited chapter and my apologies for how short it is. As I said in my previous note, things are finally starting to slow down in my home life. I will try to post another chapter tomorrow. Thank you all again for your wonderful reviews.
