Chapter Seven: Vampires Hear All

(This is a short filler chapter because I'm having a little writers block)

I smiled contentedly at Edward as we lay in his bed. It was around one in the morning. The blankets pooled around us. I wondered briefly how hard it would be to find all of our clothes. But then I just snuggled back into Edward's chest.

"It's odd…." I murmured. He was playing with my hair.

"What is?" He asked lazily.

"You used to feel so hard when I was a human." I said. He chuckled. I realized what I had said and slapped him lightly.

"I meant, that you're skin was like rock to me when I was human. Marble, actually." I said.

He smiled against my hair. "And now?" He asked softly.

"Now you feel…like people felt when I was human. Like regular skin." I said.

Edward sighed. "You used to be so soft. I was afraid to break you…but now I don't have to worry." He said, pulling me up so I straddled him.

I laughed and leaned down to kiss him. "That's why we waited." I said. He nodded.

"And I think we've waited long enough." He said. I laughed before he kissed me…

It was three hours later that a knock sounded on our bedroom door. Edward sighed and went to answer it, a pillow case wrapped around his waist.

It was Emmet, and he looked as though he was going to die laughing. I quickly covered myself.

"Man! You'd think you just got married." He said, laughing so hard he doubled over. "You guys might want to...want to cool it. You'll…..you'll bake the….the wall at this point!" He said between woops of laughter.

Edward growled.

"Mind your own damn business." He said.

Emmet started laughing even harder.

When everyone can hear it, brother, it's everyone's business!" He said, falling over with his laughter.

I covered my face. How had I forgotten that my family could hear everything we did? Hell, a human could have heard most of what we did…

"It's not like I haven't had to listen to all of you going at it over the years." Edward said, a smirk playing across his face.

Emmet looked up from the floor, still shaking with laughter.

"True." He said, before getting up and leaving. His laughter carried all the way up from the living room downstairs.

Edward slammed and locked the door, not that it would do much good in a house full of superhuman creatures.

He came back to the bed and sat on the edge. I sat up and pulled him back down again.

We lay there for a few minutes, just taking pleasure from being near each other.

"He's an ass." Edward said after a while.

I nodded. "True, but he's family." I said. Edward chuckled and pulled me closer.

"Too true there, love." He paused. "He shouldn't be one to say anything anyway. He actually broke his sofa once." He said. I gasped.

"Well, it was him and Rose, but still." Edward said. I shook my head. I turned around in his arms and kissed him once more.

"You know, if I was still human, the embarrassment would have killed me." I said lightly.

Edward smiled. "But you aren't human." He said, a trace of sadness in his voice.

I grinned wickedly. "I know. Because when I was human I could never do this…" I pinned his hands above his head and kissed a bite I had made earlier. He growled.

"You still don't get to do that." He said as he flipped me over, reversing our positions. I pouted, but then moaned as his teeth scraped my skin.

"GIVE IT A REST!" Emmet yelled from somewhere in the house.

"Ignore him, maybe he'll go away." Edward said.

I nodded. "Okay." I said as he kissed a line form my jaw to my collarbone….

A/N okay, well, I hope you liked that one! As it says above, this is just a little filler because I'm having writers block when it comes to furthering the actual plot along. Anyway, please review!
