The Natural Path
Chapter 7- Need
"You have to understand Bella that I wasn't brought up in this century. The values I was brought up with are very different from the ones you were. Alice told me you were thinking of leaving and she said I needed to buck up my ideas and arrive in this century. I'm sorry about what happened before, but in my mind it felt like what I was doing was wrong. Luckily Alice was around to explain a few things to me. Vampires are very different to humans as I'm sure you've noticed. But one difference is that vampires mate for life. I've never come across anyone that I've felt this way about before and that's because you're my mate. But my values are holding me back because I feel I should do this the proper way. Alice however says this is meant to be so I should just go with it, but it's hard." I nodded and took Edward's hands in mine.
"I can understand that, but you have to tell me these things. You may be from a different time but I'm not. To me it was as if you were backing away, telling me that you didn't want me. I need you right now Edward, please don't back away. After losing Jake I need you. If you back away now I'm always going to think the worst because of what's already happened. The worse thing is though that we don't have a lot of time. I'm going to have to leave tomorrow and we both know the Volturi will have their way. As much I would love to be courted by you like you want, I don't want to spend the last day with you like that. After I'm gone I want you to have memories of me to cherish, not hardly memorable ones." Edward pulled me close against his chest and softly ran his fingers through my hair.
"I will do everything in my power to keep you safe. I won't live without you." I looked up at him.
"I won't let you risk your life for me. If you won't keep yourself safe I will make you."
"Bella," Edward said pained. At this I just couldn't bear it.

My lips flew to his and I crushed my body against his. He responded circling his arms behind my back as he pulled me closer. There was a raw need that I could feel. I didn't care about being caring and loving I just need him. I pushed him down on the bed and laid on top of him. I left his lips and kissed his neck before nipping him. He growled and flipped our positions. We tore at each other clothes, nipping and kissing each other all over. I moaned as Edward caught my nipple between his teeth and ran his tongue over it. His other hand reached down further until he reached my tightened bud. He stroked his fingers quickly over it. My fingers racked down his back and with a growl he brought his lips back to mine. Pleasure ran through me as he captured my moan. And then he was inside me. The passion continued as we moved faster and faster together calling each others names until we collapsed together.

After a few moments Edward turned to me and stroked his fingers down my cheek.
"I don't think I can bear losing you Bella."
"I wish there was another way. If we could run and hide then I'm sure we'd already be on our way. But the Volturi will find me anywhere. Our only hope is persuading them otherwise. I know I said I didn't want you there, but I do. I need you to be there to the very end. I don't want to part from you until I die however near or far that may be." He nodded, but in his head I could see him planning. How we would escape the Volturi I did not know. But if we wished to survive we had to.
