Chapter 8 – Together Again
That night I found myself in Edward's arms.
It had not taken long to shift houses; with seven vampires and two werewolves, it was a piece of cake. I moved in with Edward, and Sasha moved into a spare room. After moving in, we set Emmett, Rosalie and Alice loose in a nearby furniture store. The result was disastrous. I think Sasha was about to faint when she saw how much they had purchased for her. While they were at the furniture store, Esme was busy redecorating Sasha's new room. She had a ball.
"Tell me about werewolves?" Edward asked me later as I cuddled with him in bed.
"What do you want to know?"
"You obviously sleep? And what sets you apart from humans – minus the obvious?"
"Yeah I sleep, though much less than humans. My heart beats, but we are much like you in the sense that we are strong, fast and have powerful senses. We also are similar in the way that we have a hunger that we can never fully satisfy; a hunger for human flesh, mostly, but we just eat lots of human food, and hunt when it's the full moon to keep it at bay.
"Our skin is tough, but not rock. We are also the opposite of you in a way, as we need to be able to change. We heal very quickly. As the full moon goes near, we strengthen, thus we are strongest at full moon and transform. When there is no moon, we are almost human."
"Wow. There is so much unknown about your kind. We're forever told that werewolves are completely uncontrollable, yet here you lay with me, very civilized." A look of deep thought crossed his face. "So, now that you are ...less breakable, I don't really have to worry about hurting you as much?"
My eyes danced with mirth. I knew what he was getting at. Pushing my hands up his shirt, tracing his muscled abs, I placed my mouth at his ear. "Got any suggestions?" I whispered seductively, before licking his ear. I blushed at my sudden confidence.
He chuckled at this and breathed in deeply, tasting the scent of my arousal.
"I just want lay some ground rules though. Is that okay?" I nodded. "I don't want to make love with you straight away. We'll work up to it – make it special. Have you been with anybody since I left?" he asked, uncertainty in his eyes.
"Of course not. I trust it's the same with you?" I hoped. He nodded, before rolling us until I was fully underneath him. I gasped, caught unaware with the quick motion. Edward grinned wickedly from above me, and caught my mouth with a hard, fast - desperate even – kiss. It was unlike any other I had experienced.
Slowly, carefully his tongue slipped into my mouth. I tasted the sweet flavour of him, and moaned in ecstasy. Soon we were both tied up into the throes of passion and lost track of time. After a while, the long day caught up with me and I found myself yawning into his mouth.
He laughed and rolled off, pulling me onto his body, wrapping me up with his cool, hard figure.
"Sleep, my Bella. Sleep and dream wonderful dreams ..."
After Notes:I'm a little unsure of what to do in the future as the major complication. I'm thinking of doing something very similar to Breaking Dawn. Also thinking of introducing Jacob and his pack of shape-shifters. Feel free to give any ideas.
As always - R&R.
