Bella POV

Edward ran me to his bedroom and placed me on the bed on top of the covers, my stomach flush with the cool material in only a bathing suit.

I turned my head to the side and saw Edward next to me.

"I'm sorry for not waking you earlier. I should have noticed your skin burning!" He was tracing angry circles on my burnt arm, and I could tell he was beating himself up over this.

"Edward," I said, pushing my upper body off of the bed and leaning over to him, "it's not your fault. Stop beating yourself up over this! You couldn't have known I would burn! You're still learning, just as I am!"

"I'm sorry, love." He looked down at me with love and adoration in his eyes and kissed me, soft and lingering, exactly what I needed at that very moment.

I lowered my body back onto the bed. Edward shifted, and before I knew it his upper body was pressed to my back, his face buried in my neck, so that his neck covered the sunburn on my neck.

I let out a sigh of relief at the cool temperature and heard and Edward chuckled against my neck, his cool breath sending shivers up my spine.

I turned my head so that it was facing him and smiled. His face was pressed up against my neck, his lips precariously perched on the skin there, threatening to tip me over my threshold of sanity and drive me insane.

Carlisle came in then, I saw him out of the corner of my eye, carrying a bottle of Aloe-Vera for my severely sunburned back.

"Edward, I hope you and Bella are not doing anything inappropriate. Here is the Aloe for Bella, try not to overreact with this."

The whole time Carlisle was talking Edward refused to move. Even after Carlisle was finished speaking Edward remained as he was. Carlisle sighed and set the aloe on the side of the bed, closest to Edward's head, then left the room.

With Carlisle gone, Edward picked up his head and reached over to grab the Aloe.

"What was that about?" I asked Edward.

"Nothing….I was just really comfortable."

I smiled at his obvious lack of self-preservation. I swear one of these days Carlisle is going to disown him.

He squirted some aloe onto his hands and rubbed it into my back, a moan escaping my lips for the umpteenth time that day, the cold against my hot back feeling wonderful.

Once again Edward chuckled and shifted his head so he could see my face. I smiled and closed my eyes; thankful I had such a wonderful fiancé that was cold as well as hot….and if that sentence isn't confusing read it again.
