I knew that putting my face this close to hers was a bad idea. I could hardly believe my luck when her lips pressed against mine. The monster inside of me was prepared to jump, but I forced him back. I lost myself in the pleasure of finally feeling her perfectly smooth lips against mine. I pulled back from her to say only one word.
"Bella..." I pressed my lips back to hers.
I felt her arm touch my neck, almost like she was going to put her arm around me, to hold me close. She pulled it back, and I was disappointed that I didn't have more control. That she couldn't put her arm around me, without me killing her. I pulled away, breathless, and wanting more.
She blushed every shade of red in the book, and then some. Her eyes widened and her pupils were dilated.
"I'm sorry." She was breathless, just like me.
"Don't be. I enjoyed it." She looked unsure. "Didn't you?" Had I somehow misread her look? Did she not like it, and just not know how to tell me? Was she afraid of me?
"I did enjoy it, but...it's hard to comprehend that you would want me in any way other than the Cullen Way." I laughed, surprised that i sounded genuinely amused. And I was. It was a good way to put it.
"That's a good way to describe it." She smiled. Suddenly, I wanted to make her laugh, to make her laugh so hard that the tears leaked from her eyes. One slight problem...I don't know how. She was just that much of a mystery to me. Forever a mystery.
He sat in the driver's seat thinking, hard by the way his brow was creased. I reached out to smooth it down.
His skin was cold, but softer than I expected. His hand gently took mine, and guided my arm in front of him. He tugged at my sleeve and had it up to my elbow in one fluid movement. I felt the panic flow through my veins, even though his eyes were still glued to mine. I tried to tug my arm back as I felt my eyes widening.
"What are you trying to hide from me?" He looked down at my forearm. I looked at the window button on my door. He gasped.
"Bella...what did you do?"
