Here it is! Please review and let me know what you think about how it's going. I know I am a giant loser for taking so long but it has been really crazy with the holidays, kids birthdays and I am VERY unexpectedly pregnant which has been pretty traumatic. Anyways hope you like it, back to E & B!

Chapter 7: Looking in the Eyes of Love (A really good Alison Krauss song too by the way.)

I remained in a state of constant and writhing pain. I had no idea how long it had been I just knew that it seemed endless. The only thing that kept me from wishing for death was that beautiful face I could see in my mind and the alluring voice I could hear constantly trying to calm me. Edward.

Somehow the idea of needing to do this to be with him never left me. The change seemed endless and like no pain I had ever experienced. I felt that after James' attack that I knew somewhat what to expect but I could have never comprehended the intensity of what that would feel like for days throughout my entire body. Finally though the fiery pain began to recede and was slowly being replaced with a numbness.

I soon began to be more and more aware of what was going on around me. I immediately recognized that Edward was holding me close and his delicious scent seemed to overwhelm me. It felt like a drug it was intoxicating. I tried to open my eyes I just wanted to see him, to see his beautiful eyes. I sat up and opened my eyes in a very disconcertingly fast movement and Edward even seemed to be caught off guard by it. That made me smile and as I looked at him I noticed that he seemed nervous.

That just made me laugh and I whispered in my most seductive voice, "It's okay Edward I won't bite."

It really didn't sound like me it was such a beautiful twinkling sound and it really did sound just as seductive as I had been going for.

He stared back at me like he wasn't sure who I was but he offered me one of his delightfully sinful crooked smiles that always melted my heart anyway.

"Are you okay? Do you need to hunt?" he replied, always the gentleman.

I whispered back, "Not yet, I'm okay so far."

I guess I assumed this new hunger would feel different but I just felt like I needed water. I was thirsty but it wasn't unbearable at least not yet and I definitely needed to do something else first and this was starting to feel unbearable. I needed to kiss Edward.

His mere presence seemed to be pulling me closer.

I tried teasing with him again. "Did you miss me?"

He laughed nervously, "Of course."

I looked up at him just staring into his beautiful eyes and seeing all the love and concern for me there and I couldn't take it any more. "Are you going to kiss me?"

It seemed that was the only invitation he needed because his lips crashed against mine. He was kissing me like I had never been kissed before and electricity coursed through my whole body. It felt so strange for his lips not to feel cold or hard but just perfect. He slowly laid me back down on the bed and I heard him moan my name as I licked my way down his neck. I had dreamed of this moment so many times when all of his boundaries would be broken down and this moment was so perfect it didn't seem real. I felt his hands on my hips pushing my body closer to his and his lips began making their way down my neck where he bit me again. That about sent me over the edge and I knew if I had still been human I would have passed out by now. His body felt so warm against mine it was definitely a new sensation but a welcomed one.

In one of my new blindingly fast movements I ripped his shirt off and finally saw a shirtless Edward and as usual he did not disappoint. He was so unbelievably gorgeous. I was kissing my way down his chest and I was breathing pretty heavily for someone who doesn't need to breathe anymore but as I continued to kiss him I felt him stiffen and raise my face back up to his. He looked as flustered as a vampire can look and kissed my lips once more.

Then I heard him quietly whisper like he was in pain, "You are so beautiful."

"Oh Edward, please don't stop now."

"Bella, I know we haven't needed to talk about this before but I need to tell you that I want to wait."

"What? What do you mean wait? We have been waiting!"

He laughed and rolled his eyes and said, "Silly Bella, I mean till we get married. I know I seem old fashioned but if you wouldn't mind horribly I would like to wait.

I was trying not to appear completely shocked. I really should have known I knew I was dating a very moral vampire! Oh this was painful I was so close to getting what I have wanted for so long but I tried to think positively, at least we had a lot less boundaries than before. I tried to play it cool.

" When is the wedding?"

He saw right through me and chuckled, "Whenever you want it to be."

"As soon as possible."

He laughed again, " I know what you mean. If I thought you were irresistible before it was nothing compared to now."

He got up from the bed and I looked up at him in just his jeans and smile and thought we better be getting married very soon because I wasn't going to last long.

"What are you thinking you have a very evil look on your face right now?"

"Ha! Wouldn't you like to know? Actually I was just wondering if I could possibly change your mind?" He was so irresistible right now.

"I'm sure you could but I hope that you won't because I don't think I can take much more either. Plus I don't think you want our first time to be overheard by my whole family."

If I could still blush I was sure I would have been red beyond belief. Sure enough when I stopped focusing on Edward I could hear the small talk of his family downstairs.

"Emmett has already enjoyed what he has been able to hear so far way too much ."

"Great! I can't wait to go downstairs."

"Oh don't worry you don't have to because they are all on their way up here now that Alice has given them the go ahead."

"Fantastic! You might want to find your shirt if there is anything left of it."

He held the shreds up, "Yeah I think I will have to suffer shirtless."

At that moment Emmett busted through the door. He gave Edward a wink, "Hey guys what you been up to? Nice look Eddie! Bella you are smoking hot ! Have you seen yourself yet?"

"Uh thanks Emmett no I haven't."

Alice, Jasper, Carlisle and Esme came in soon after telling me how grateful they were that it was all over and how beautiful I looked.

Alice was already ready to talk wedding, "So when is my deadline? … tomorrow really?"

We laughed then I said, "Well if possible Alice we would like to do it as soon as possible."

Emmett couldn't hold in a chuckle. I was really becoming very grateful for my new non blushing status. I was really happy and excited to finally feel a part of my new family but I was staring to feel thirstier and thirstier.

Finally Jasper noticed and told Alice to ask no more wedding questions, "She needs to hunt."

Edward glanced up at me and I nodded.

"Alright let's go."

Alright I know it's short but I will get a new one up sooner this time!
