Alice had some ridiculous ideas. "Oompa Loompas?" she asked. And some not so ridiculous ones. "Well Bella has been able to, um, spark up things for years. Maybe now that her life is a little less complicated, it's resurfacing. I guess you sort of 'charge' her."

"That's what Bella said. But what about the mind-reading thing?"

"I don't know. Side effect?"

I sighed.

"Edward," Bella said, "I want to try something." She took my hand and then took Alice's. "Alice, think of a flower." Alice closed her eyes and Bella tensed.

"Well?" Alice asked.

"A rose." Bella and I said simultaneously. She looked at me.

"OK, I didn't expect that to happen." I raised an eyebrow. "Well, I thought maybe I'd see what she was thinking being in direct contact with you both, but I didn't think it would pass through me to you." Just then, Alice yelped and yanked her hand away from Bella.

"You need to learn to control that whole electric part of this," she said, waggling her fingers at her.

"But how do we do that?" I asked. Bella giggled and Alice and I looked at her.

"Practice," she said.

"So, how do we start?" I asked. Alice had brought us to a meadow behind the woods near our house. She said that she never saw anyone around there and it would be a good place to 'fry' things.

"Well," she said, "I'm going to leave you two to it. I'm assuming there will be touching and tongues and I don't want to intrude," she finished while smirking. She skipped off before I could say anything else. I turned to look at Bella and saw that she was blushing. I closed the distance between us and brought my hand up to her cheek. Her eyes flashed blue and white momentarily, then went back to brown.

"How should we start?" I asked.

"I don't know. Any ideas?" An image that I didn't exactly mean for Bella to see rushed through my mind. Her eyes became wide and she flushed harder as she saw the vision of me holding her against the tree behind us, kissing her madly, while she had her legs wrapped around my waist.

"I'm sorry, Bella. I was thinking something intense would be good, but I...uh...yea..." Her eyebrows scrunched together in thought. She looked up at me through her lashes and surprised me by jumping up and wrapping her legs around my waist. My hands shot out by reflex to catch and cradle her ass. OK, mostly by reflex. She wound her arms behind my head, looked at the tree behind us and then back at me.

"Let's go, Tiger."

There was lightning in her eyes.

I'm not going to say that I'm an expert when it comes to men, but I've had my fair share of experiences. This, however, was completely new to me. I never took control. What the hell was I doing?

Edward was slowly walking us toward the tree with a crooked smile on his face. It was almost enough to make me lose my resolve. Almost.

"What'chya smilin' at, Cullen?" I giggled.

"Oh, nothing," he said as he reached the tree, pushing me roughly against it. I didn't mind.

"Mmm," I hummed when his lips met my neck, licking, kissing, and biting. I felt the pressure already and it made my need for him intensify. "Touch me, Edward."

He pulled back and looked at me, trying to search my eyes but was unable to because of the electricity flowing through them. I felt the corner of my mouth lift up and I pulled his face close to me, so my lips were against his ear. While tightening my legs around him, I whispered, "Edward," then my tongue darted out and licked his lobe. "Put your hands on me." He hesitated again and I dipped my head down and bit his neck to punctuate my request. He hissed in a breath and I felt his hands slide up my body from my waist to my breasts. He growled as he felt me.

Aggression! That's what I want!

"Yes Edward. Like that. Mmmm." He was panting in my ear.

"Mmm, Bella. You feel so good." I felt his thumbs making slow circles around my nipples, stopping every now and then to drag them directly over the sensitive tips. I shifted my hips forward into his obvious arousal and he moaned into my neck. It was one of the sexiest things I had ever heard, so I rocked my hips against him heightening my own pleasure as his hands worked me. All the while, the pressure in my chest was building. Just as I began focusing on that, he ground his hips into me and I gasped. Small sparks ignited my fingertips. He stopped immediately.

"Did I hurt you?"

"No! More," was all I could manage and he obliged. He ground harder and I threw my head back, panting out his name over and over again. I could feel my orgasm approaching, and I could tell he felt his own. His breathing was becoming more rapid, and his sounds more desperate. With every thrust, I got closer and my eyes and hands felt like fire.

"Oh...God...YES!" I exploded...literally. Blue and white flames erupted between us, slamming me into the tree and knocking him to the ground several feet away. I sat up, groaning at the pain in my back. My shirt was torn and I was pretty sure I was bleeding. I saw Edward sit up slowly. He rubbed his back and then his ass as he stood up and made his way back to me.

"That was easily the most intense...Bella? Are you all right?"

"Fine, why?"

"Your eyes are glowing."

"Yea, we've covered that," I smiled.

"No, this is different. They're brighter than before. Try something."

"Like what?"

"The ball thing?"

I shrugged and put my hands together. "Shouldn't you be touching me?"

"Try it without me first."

"OK." I began rubbing my palms together and the electricity began to build. I slowly parted my hands and a marble-sized ball appeared. I swirled my hand around it but it didn't get any bigger. Edward seemed to know what I was thinking and placed his hand on my shoulder. The ball immediately doubled in size.

"Wow," I whispered. I pulled my hands apart and the sphere got even bigger. I slowly pushed myself off the ground with my legs. Edward never broke contact with my body. He stood behind me, keeping his hand on my shoulder. The sphere was the size of a wiffle ball now. I stared at it, not sure what to do next. As if reading my mind again, Edward sent a quick but effective image into my head of me on top of him in my bed. My hands suddenly fanned out in front of me and the sphere of light flew from them and exploded into a tree a few yards away. There was a loud crack and the tree split in half. Edward let go of me immediately after the explosion, breathing heavily and looking as frightened as I felt.

My breathing wasn't stabilizing and I could still feel the pressure. Something was wrong. My fingers tensed into fists and my head turned to the left on its own. I clapped my hands together and pulled them apart with a speed I didn't know I could muster without even thinking about it. The ball of light was there immediately. Edward was close, but no longer touching me. I fanned my hands forward again toward where I had been looking, trying to...I don't even know. The light sped from my fingers and destroyed a nearby bush. I collapsed to the ground and then the darkness came.

Walter watched in amusement and disgust as the two children pawed at each other, trying to elicit her power. He was about to leave when a loud crack caused him to turn back. The girl was on the ground against the tree and the boy was a few feet away from her. He continued to watch as she experimented with her power, letting it loose on a nearby tree. She clenched her fingers open and closed making little fists and then turned and looked right at him.

Walter almost rolled his eyes. Her too? He thought. For fuck's sake. He turned his attention back to them in just enough time to dive out of the way of the lightning aimed directly at his head. He watched as she fell to the ground and the boy rushed to catch her.

"I underestimated you. That won't happen again," he whispered to himself. He heard the worried boy calling the girl's name as he walked away, smiling.
