I went after her, easily catching up to her as she went through the kitchen and right for the back door. I was there before her, of course, and held her tightly. I rested my forehead to hers.

"Bella, listen to me," I ordered, my voice was low and stern. "He was here to cause trouble. Jacob lost control. Perhaps we all have." I paused before continuing. "He waited until I was coming back into the house to attack me and God knows what else he would have done. I wasn't going to let that happen."

Her eyes were unreadable, and I couldn't tell if she was glaring at me, or afraid. The very idea that she could fear me was my undoing.

"Bella, please say something," I pleaded.

She dropped her eyes as she rested her head on my chest. She sighed heavily before speaking. "Edward, I almost lost you twice in forty-eight hours. I don't know how much more I can take. I am horrified that Jacob actually came here to hurt you and more horrified that you hurt him in return. Why can't you both just make peace with one another? Now, he is out there dying…alone," she cried. Bella turned to walk away from me, but I grabbed her wrist, pulling her back into the safety of my arms.

I titled her head up, wanting her to see how serious I was. "Let me make this perfectly clear to you. I will do whatever is necessary to make sure that you are safe. Especially, after what happened between us in the last few months."

"What has happened, Edward?" she cried, her brown eyes fierce. "You left remember? I was a shell for the last six months. I was the walking dead all that time and all for what? Because you were afraid?" She pulled away again, this time making it over to the kitchen island.

The floodgates had burst open and there was no stopping now. This was not the way I had wanted to have this talk. "Bella, I left because I thought it was best that I give you a chance at a normal life. But you are right. I was afraid. I still am. Because I have never in all of my existence felt so much for one, single person. I love you, Bella. I won't let Jacob or anyone else get in the way of that! I won't even allow myself to do that—never again," I shouted as I moved toward her. There was too much distance between us and I needed to have her in my arms again.

Bella met me half way, lifting up her little hands and pounding her fists against my chest. "Then make me yours, Edward!" she demanded. "My being human is becoming more of a problem each moment we spend together. I am yours; body, heart, and soul. From the moment we met, I have been nothing else but yours. Even after all this time apart, you are more a part of me than ever!" she sobbed, pushing her rain soaked hair away from her face as she stared up at me. "I offer myself to you completely and still you make me wait! Don't you understand? While you are worried for the damnation of my soul, it dies a little every day that I can't be…can't be—" Her sob caught in her throat and that was all it took to destroy the last of my walls.

I picked her up in my arms and she immediately wrapped her legs around my waist. Our eyes locked as I pressed her against the wall, being careful not to hurt her. My lips devoured hers, trying to taste as much of her as possible. Her hands were in my hair, welding me to her.

When she finally stopped to breathe, her tears were coming freely. "I love you, Edward," she whispered, piercing me with her brown eyes. "I love you."

A deep growl rumbled in my chest and I spun her around, lying her across the kitchen island. I couldn't get enough of her—not now, not ever. As I suckled her collarbone, she sighed and arched her body against mine.

I was mildly aware of the items crashing to the ground around us as both her body and blood sang to me, filling me with the sweetest tune. Bella was mine and I couldn't hold back my desire for her any longer.

We kissed passionately and for the first time ever, I allowed her soft, warm tongue to enter my cold mouth. She was mine and there was nothing to fear in that moment. When she needed to breathe, I merely moved my lips away from hers. I licked and nibbled on her neck and kissed her jaw line. Every new kiss and lick caused her legs to tighten around me. I lifted her off the island, my eyes intense as I let her slide down my body and touch her feet to the floor.

I took her hand, kissing the back of it lightly before leading her out of the kitchen.

"Edward, where are we going?" she asked, her breathing heavy.

"Upstairs," I replied, too busy thinking of everything I wanted to do to her to give her a better answer.

Half way up the stairs, she slid her hand up my arm, through the short sleeve of my shirt and onto my chest, causing me to stop moving. I gasped out loud as my skin burned from her touch. I picked her up in my arms and sped us into my room.

I placed her on the thick golden carpet, looking for the slightest sign of apprehension in her beautiful, brown eyes; I only saw love and desire.

I knew that I would have to turn Bella tonight. There was no going back from this moment, and I honestly didn't want to. She was mine and I wanted to prove that to her in every way.

I slowly removed her shirt, mesmerized by the perfection of her milky white skin. The rain was still pounding outside and cast a lovely glow in my room and on Bella. I watched motionless as a drop of rain fell from Bella's shirt, hitting her chest and traveling across her flat stomach.

She smirked at my inability to move and removed my shirt, running her warm little hands all over my chest. My head leaned back as my eyes closed; I had never felt anything like this before.

I sighed as her hands left me, but stopped breathing as soon as I opened my eyes to see her removing her bra. She was truly offering herself up to me.

We were both silent as we continued to add articles to the pile of discarded clothing. It seemed words were no longer needed; our eyes and lips were doing all of the talking.

She looked completely at ease as I kissed her stomach, sliding my hands up and down her sides. She was my Bella, mine.

I made my way back up to her lips, both of us pouring all of our passion into the kiss. Her hands took ahold of mine, guiding me back down her sides and toward the only article of clothing separating us.

She slipped my hands under the edge of her panties and left them there. I moaned into her mouth, amazed at the level of trust she was showing me. Slowly, I slid them off her supple body, trailing my hands across every single inch of her impeccable skin.

"I love you," I whispered, before licking the shell of her ear.

Her breaths were nearly as erratic as her heartbeat. "Make me yours, Edward."

I moaned again; she was truly pushing me to the edge. Her blood smelled even more intoxicating now that it was mixed with the scent of her arousal. How this angel could want a monster like me so much was beyond my comprehension. But what Bella wanted, she would get.

I ran my hands along the outside of her thighs and her legs spread easily for me. My hand made its way to her inner thigh, feeling her warmth as I kissed her hard.

Her own hands seemed to be everywhere as she went from tracing the muscles of my chest, to scratching my back, her mouth never stopping in its quest to devour mine.

Everything she did increased my own hunger and desire for her, but I didn't want to rush this. I teased her with kisses and made my way down her chest, cupping her breasts in my hands. She moaned and it gave me the courage to lower my head, gently licking and sucking on every inch of them. This woman was my goddess, mine.

Her hands were in my hair, pulling me up toward her lips. I allowed it, raising my head to look into those deep, brown eyes of hers. The desire I saw reflected there nearly caused me to burst.

"Bella, are you sure this is what you want?" I asked. As much as I wanted this to happen, she had to want it, too.

She leaned down and kissed me so deeply that I was unaware of what she was doing with the rest of her body. She tightened her legs and pulled me inside her, almost instantly taking in all of me. She moaned into my mouth, furthering my own arousal.

I proceeded slowly, not wanting to hurt her. I soon relaxed, finding that we fit one another like two pieces of a puzzle. There was no way I would hurt her, not ever again.

I was drunk with her as we continued to kiss, her warm breath flowing through my mouth. As we broke our kiss, she did the unthinkable…She bit my neck. It felt only slightly harder than a nibble, but it was more than enough to make my entire body shudder.

"Edward, I am ready." Her voice was steady and absolute as her eyes held my gaze.

I brushed my lips over hers, staring into her eyes for a long moment. I wanted this, but I didn't want her to be in pain. "Bella, it will hurt. I am going to be as gentle as I possibly can, but there really isn't much I can do to ease your suffering, love."

She put her hands on either side of my face and whispered to me. "Make me yours, Edward. I don't care about the pain as long as you are here with me."

Her words alone nearly pushed me over the edge, and I picked up the pace knowing we were both close to an orgasm. This was the first time for both of us, but it was as if she and I had always been this intimate, our movements perfectly in sync. She lifted her body to me as we clung to each other, riding out the waves of pleasure from our first releases.

I leaned her head aside, kissing the spot on her neck that would make her mine for eternity. As my venom-coated teeth sank into her soft flesh, she whimpered. Her blood hit the back of my throat and it was better than I had imagined. It was fire—liquid passion.

I suckled on her neck until I felt I had given her enough venom. I licked my lips as I pulled away, sitting up to watch her. She was weaker now, but her eyes were locked on mine.

I lay next to her, taking her into my arms before the burning would begin. I hoped the coolness of my body would bring her some relief.

She began to cry out and it pained my dead heart to hear and see her in such agony. But we needed this. We needed to be together forever, without worrying someone would take her away, steal her precious life, her warmth.

"Shhh, Bella. It's okay, love. I'm here. I promise this will get easier." I lied, knowing she would be in for one hell of a night…For three hellish days actually. But I would do it again to give her the hope and strength she needed.

I was racked with guilt and elation all at once. Two momentous events had happened simultaneously. Bella and I had made passionate love for the first time and I had turned her, making her mine for eternity.

Her body heaved as she twisted and turned in agony. "Edward!" she cried.

I did the only thing I knew to do. I sat up against the sofa and pulled her between my legs. I hummed her lullaby as I held her arms at her sides with mine, and locked my legs on top of hers. She didn't react at first, and for awhile, I thought it wouldn't work in soothing her at all. But slowly, her cries became softer.

She was stifling her pain, trying to be brave. If I could have cried myself, I would have in that moment. There was no end to what Bella would put herself through for me. I knew that now more than ever. She had physically and emotionally gone through more in the last few days than anyone should be expected to cope with.

Her face grew still and her breathing steadied, though it was still rougher than normal. Her eyes slipped closed and I hoped she would sleep.

The shadows of rain danced on her face as I held her to me tightly. My hand rested on her flat stomach, drawing circles on her bare skin. I tried to cover our naked bodies with the blanket, but it only increased her thrashing. Once I threw it away and wrapped my arm back around her, she relaxed, only slightly convulsing. I was awed by her control. Once again she was doing the unthinkable.

With her eyes shut tightly, the only sign of any pain was the occasional curling of her fingers into tightly wound fists. Whenever that would happen, I would take her hands into mine and slowly uncurl them, massaging her fingers for her. We spent nearly the entire night that way. It was certainly the most intimate experience of my entire existence, and I could not find a single moment that I regretted.

I longed to hear her sweet voice, to know she was okay, even with all the pain she was going through. "Bella?" I whispered. "How do you feel?"

She didn't answer and I realized I could no longer hear her heartbeat. I was horrified that I had done this wrong and that she was truly dead.

I sat up quickly, turning her in my arms so that I could see her face. "Bella!" I called, frantic with worry.

Her eyes opened only a little as she let out a low moan. She looked groggy, but she was okay. She started to come around, slowly waking, and opened her eyes further, mesmerizing me with their ruby red color. I exhaled deeply and held her to me with the sudden realization that she would never have to leave my side again.

"I love you," I whispered as I rocked her. "It's over now, love. You are mine and we have forever together. I promise."

"Edward, my throat still burns." She spoke softly since her voice was hoarse. "When will it stop?"

"Soon, Bella," I said. "You will need to feed to stop that particular burning."

Her face was suddenly filled with fear. "Edward, I can't go out there and hunt something down yet! I don't think I'm ready."

I smiled down at her. "Of course not, love. I will take care of it. I just need to be sure you can be alone for a few moments."

"I think I should be okay. I feel more alert now," she said softly.

"Then I won't be long," I replied.

I set her down on the carpet, amazed by her progress. It was the quickest I had ever witnessed, and I was grateful it seemed her suffering would not be as long as I thought. I draped the blanket across her naked form and this time, she held it to her. She was definitely feeling cooler.

"I will be right back," I whispered into her ear, before kissing her forehead.

She nodded once as she focused in on something outside of the window. I saw a glimpse of the pain in her eyes and knew I needed to hurry. I slipped on my pants and shoes and made for the door.

Outside, the rain had stopped and sunrise was not far off. I ran into the woods, scanning for wildlife—mongrels included. There was no sign of Jacob and I could not let myself get lost in what had happened with him. My priority was Bella.

I sniffed out a deer, drinking at the nearby pond, and quickly pounced on it, feeding on it myself. I hadn't realized how starved I was until then. I stopped only when I heard a rabbit, not far off, scatter into the brush.

"Perfect!" I thought. It would be just right for Bella.

I went after it in an instant and quickly found it under a tree, hiding. I snapped its neck and swiftly made my way back to the house. I entered through the back door, leaving the kill on the back porch, as I ran into the kitchen. I found a glass and went back outside.

Carefully, I slit its throat with my fingernail and filled the glass for Bella. I would try and make this as normal a task for her as possible; she had already been through so much and she was not ready to hunt and feed as I did just yet. I tossed the carcass back into the woods and washed up.

I made my way back up the stairs and could hear nothing. "Was she asleep?" I wondered. That couldn't be, though. Sleep would never again come to Bella.

I opened my bedroom door, surprised to see her sitting up and leaning against the sofa. The blanket covered her body, just below her shoulders, and her tousled hair framed her angelic face perfectly.

I couldn't hide my amazement at how quickly this had all happened. "Bella, I see you are feeling much better," I said.

She smiled wider at me. "I am! You're home. My throat still burns, but it is bearable now." She spoke to me in such a sultry voice that I was momentarily dumbfounded. She was seducing me without even trying! Her face, her skin, her hair…she was more beautiful than ever.

"Alice would be pleased," I thought. Hell, I was pleased. "I have this for you," I said, sitting on the floor next to her and handing her the glass.

She stared at it intently and bit her lip nervously. "Edward, will it be gross?" she asked quietly.

I laughed at her thought process. "You will be fine, love." I placed a strand of her hair behind her ear. "It will take some getting used to, but it will make the thirst and burning go away for awhile."

She raised the glass and turned her nose up instinctively. She let out an audible sigh, obviously planning to just go for it. "Bottoms up," she said, smiling, and gulped the contents of the glass. At first she seemed disgusted, but soon found that she could stomach it. "Ugh," she muttered as she handed me the glass.

"Good girl," I said, praising her efforts and setting the glass on the floor. "Bella, you are handling all of this amazingly. I want you to know that I am so proud of you."

She gazed up at me through her thick lashes, still looking a bit groggy, and took my hand into hers. "I love you, Edward." She leaned in to kiss me and winced as a bright ray of early morning sunlight came through the window and landed on her face.

I got up from the floor and walked over to the curtains, closing them quickly. I knew she would be sensitive to the sunlight for some time, until she got used to her new eyesight.

I yearned to be near her again, unable to stand the little bit of distance between us, and quickly made my way back over to her. We lay on our sides, facing each other. I marveled at the deep red of her newborn vampire eyes. I wrapped my arms around her and kissed her lips softly. If there was ever a heaven on Earth, it was in this room, in my arms, right now.

She kissed deeper than she had ever been able to before and I sighed into her mouth despite myself. She had just finished the change and she needed to rest.

I kissed her eyes and nose, smiling at the knowledge that she would soon be rested…and completely unbreakable.

"Edward, I am speechless about last night. I never thought any of the things that have happened ever would. First, I never thought I would see you again until I was racing to Italy. Then, I never thought I would see my family again until we got home last night. Then out of nowhere, you let go of all of your fears and inhibitions and we had the most frightening and amazing night together." She was smiling as she said that last part.

"Well, for someone who is speechless, you certainly have a lot to say," I chuckled, tracing her collarbone with the tip of my finger. I was completely amazed that she seemed to remember so much. "What else do you recall?"

She opened her mouth to speak, but then closed it, confusion clearly prevalent in her features. "I…I don't…not much…Edward, why don't I remember?" Bella asked, her voice high and filled with panic.

"Relax, love. It's perfectly natural for your memories to be cloudy right now. You may get some of them back once you are rested, but most of your human memories will fade, except for the very strong ones."

"I guess my fear of losing you is as strong as my love for you, then. Because those are the only things I can really recall right now."

"Don't worry, Bella," I whispered, pulling her closer and tucking her head under my chin. "I will remember for you."

She sighed, pressing her hands against my chest and kissing the skin she could reach. "There is one more thing I remember and it would seem you got your wish, Edward."

"And what wish would that be love?" I asked.

"Yesterday at the airport, you wanted to be alone so we could talk and here we are," she giggled. "Although, I wouldn't be all that opposed if we were too busy to talk."

I laughed happily at Bella's teasing. As much as I would have loved to ravish her glorious body once again, I knew she wasn't rested enough yet. "Later, love. After all, we have eternity together."

Authors Note: I know some of you may be concerned about how things are happening and where they are going, but believe me this is far from over. Bella's transformation happens the way it does for a VERY good reason! Keep an open mind!
