Chapter 8
Morning After
Bella POV
I started to feel nervous as we reached the Meadow. Edward was running through the forest with me in his arms. I couldn't breathe; it felt as though my heart was beating as fast as a hummingbird's wings.
Edward glanced down at me, a warm smile playing at his lips. I couldn't return the smile. I felt Edward's pace slow as we reached the edge of the forest.
I took a deep breath as Edward let go of me, dropping me to the ground. I stood there; I knew he couldn't hurt me, that is not what I was afraid of.
I felt self-conscious as Edward reached for my hand walking me further into the meadow. He lay down on the soft grass, I matched his posture.
Edward faced me, nothing but love filling his eyes. A crooked smile took my breath away, making me forget about my nerves for a moment.
"I love you," I breathed as I brought my lips to Edward's. I inhaled his scent. My hands entangled in his hair. I gasped for air.
I turned from him, self confidence altering again.
"Bella, love, what is it?" Edward asked in a worried tone. My face flushed, how could I tell him?
"I'm scared, Edward." I slowly said, waiting for his reaction. I looked into his eyes, at first seeing pained, and then came sincerity.
"Bella, I promise, I will not hurt you. I can't hurt you. I love you to much to do anything to harm you." I trusted him not to injure me; I was scared for another reason.
"No," I explained, "I know you could never hurt me, it's something else…" I trailed off, hoping he would understand.
His look of confusion intensified, "Bella, you can tell me…"
I sighed, "Well I don't think I will be very good," I divulged.
At that, he laughed. I frowned; his response surprised me, "That is what you are worried about? There is no way that is possible," he assured me.
He pressed his body against mine, more urgent. Slowly he kissed me, his lips moving with mine. I let his lips wonder from my lips to my neck, down to my collarbone, back up again.
I gradually took off his jacket, taking off his shirt. I wanted his body against mine. He followed my lead, also bringing my dress up, over my head, careful not to rip it. My undergarments were they only clothes covering my body.
I blushed. He smiled down at me assuring me that he liked what he saw. That made me blush more deeply.
"Bella," Edward whispered down into my ear, "I love you."
We continued to kiss as Edward slipped off his pants…
(Let your imagination wonder)
The next morning I awoke in Edward's arms, in his bed.
Edward's family, my family, went hunting to give us privacy. I appreciated this kind gesture.
I turned myself around to find Edward smiling down at me, "Good morning," he said, "actually no, perfect morning."
I leaned closer to him, "I love you," I whispered, remembering last night. A crooked smirk crossed his face; he must be thinking the same as me. "I love waking up in your arms." I sighed, content.
That made him laugh, "Enjoy it now," he teased. "Vampires don't sleep remember?" he explained when seeing my confused look.
The thought made me sad. I loved the feeling of waking up next to him. I would have to do that every morning until I was changed, I thought.
Edward kissed my forehead, "I'll be right back…"
A/N: Where is Edward going?
