EPOV Chapter 8

"You are really adorable when you pout," I said, grazing her lower lip with my finger. Her lips were so plump and when she pouted it pushed them together, making me ache to press mine against them.

She turned around, looking for something else to eat. She put together a sandwich and started eating. I was mesmerized by the way her lips closed over the bread, teeth bitting the meat and cheese. Her throat would flutter as she swallowed, making venom pool in my mouth.

She noticed me staring at her. "What, have you never seen a human eat before?"

"No, I have watched hundreds of humans eat. It has just never looked so ...seductive before." I said, unable to keep the smirk off my face. She must have taken my response as a challenge because she put the last bite of food into her mouth, chewing slowly.

I saw her eyes widen before she gasped, the food blocking her airway. I ran over to her, forcefully patting her back trying to remove the food from her windpipe. The air left her lungs, making the chunk of food fly out of her mouth and hit the far wall.

He head lowered into he hand, bright red heat covering her cheeks and chest. I could only laugh, trying to pull her hand away so I could appreciate her beautiful glow.

"Just go away. I am so tired of embarrassing myself around you." She said, looking anywhere but at me.

"Your blush is beautiful."I admitted, hoping she could hear the truth in my words. The call of her blood was no longer the force keeping me close to her. The more I was around her the harder it was to be apart. I knew she accepted what I was, but how could she ever want anything more? I was a monster, but that did not keep me from hoping she might eventually want me as I did her.

She looked up into my eyes, her pupils dilated. I could see my own eyes reflected in her mocha brown ones. I had never seen my eyes so black with desire.

I could not help myself as I leaned down to her forehead. "I just want to try one thing."

I swept my lips down her face, appreciating the warmth of her skin under my frozen lips. I could hear her heart thundering in her chest. Her body trembling as she held her breath. I finally let my own lips graze hers, feeling the soft flesh that I ached to claim as my own.

"What's up guys? You wanna play some Halo?" Emmett asked as he came into the kitchen.

I could feel the growl of frustration trying to fight out of my chest. I could have pulled his arms from his body and beat him with them. I had not even heard him approach, I was so engrossed in the feeling of this creature next to me.

I laid my forehead against hers, my unnecessary breath harsh in my ears. I promised myself I would do that again, and soon.
