Her
Edward's POV
She slept peacefully, wearing flannel shorts and a t-shirt, the duvet covering her legs and half of her torso. Her cute little feet stuck out at the end and I noticed her toe nails were painted pearly white. It was cute. She had left the curtains open and the moonlight spilled over the bed.
I sat on the bed next to her, careful not to wake her. I shouldn't be here. But I couldn't help myself. I wanted to watch over her and protect her. I loved watching her sleep. She was so peaceful and relaxed. Her features were soft and beautiful in the moon light. I could handle the scent of her blood better now. It seemed to get easier the more I was around her.
Yet, her scent still tempted me beyond anything else I have ever experienced.
She moaned in her sleep, and I figured she must be having sweet dreams. I could see her nipples harden against the material of her t-shirt. I really shouldn't be here. I could smell her arousal and I cursed myself. I stood up from the bed and quietly made my way to the door. I took one last look back at her before turning the door knob. She was awake and looking at me, her heart was racing.
"Bella?" I turned my body towards her.
"Edward?" She squeaked. Her bottom lip trembled, and tears formed at the corners of her eyes.
"Oh Bella, its ok." I sat back down next to her and pulled her into my arms. I held her while she cried softly. I wiped some of the tears away, gently stroking my thumb across her skin. "What's wrong Bella?"
She sighed. "I had a nightmare about you."
I was shocked, although I probably shouldn't have been. "Would you like to tell me about it?"
I looked down into her eyes. She blushed. "No."
"I will never hurt you Bella." I kissed her forehead and she jumped slightly.
"I know." She lay he hear down against my shoulder and I held her until she fell back asleep.
