A Week Later continued…
Edward's POV
Her lips were soft and yielding, her heart was racing and her arms clung around my neck tightly. I moaned, slightly ashamed at my body's reaction to Bella's kisses. I had to put a stop to this. Bella was inciting emotions in me I had never felt before, as well as physical reactions that I doubt had ever felt this all consuming. Between blood lust and regular lust, I was just about ready to ravage her.
"Bella, love" I gently pulled away, planting a kiss on the end of her nose, "we should probably make you some lunch. You must be getting hungry."
She slid her hands from around my neck. Her heart still beat erratically, and her cheeks were flushed. She looked beautiful. She opened her mouth to speak when we both heard the doorbell ring. She got up and walked towards the door, looking back at me. "Who could that be?"
I got up and followed her. "Esme's getting the door." I felt slightly disturbed that I had not heard anybody approach the house. I was usually pretty tuned in to our surroundings. I could hear voices coming from downstairs, Esme's of course, but also two other voices that were not familiar to me, those of a man and a woman. I sniffed the air. They were both human.
As we made our way to the top of the stairs, Bella's back and shoulders stiffened and she gasped. She must have recognized the voices because she ran for the door, and then looked out in shock.
