His response was what surprised me the most. He kissed me back with as much passion as me and gently led me to the bed.

Our mouths were moving perfectly synchronized against each other – occupying all of my attention. Being a vampire though, I did notice when the back of my legs touched the end of the soft bed. Edward gently pushed – no, placed – me on the bed without breaking our kiss. I felt the soft satin red covers of the bed Alice knew we would need. A voice in my head told me I was ahead of myself, we weren't doing anything. I told it to shut up.
Then, Edward's lips were at my ear. "I love you" he whispered, sending chills down my back.
Our kiss which until was soft and romantic turned lustful and urgent. I needed him now. I wanted him to make me forget the awful things Ian did. I wanted him to make me forget my own name.
Apparently, Edward got the message. He deepened the kiss and then moved on to kiss my neck and nibble on my ear. My eyes rolled to the back of my head and all I could think about was Edward – correction, I couldn't even think anymore. I groaned as Edward placed his long warm hands on my thighs and started going up. Did I mention Edward likes to tease? He moved his hands on my thighs painfully slow.
I noticed how he too seemed to forget about everything else. I took advantage and flipped him over – straddling him. It was not fair to tease. You'd think he'd gotten the message; I didn't like him teasing me and I could tease him just as well.
I took his mouth with mine while my hands were busy undoing the top buttons of his shirt. I opened my closed eyes and his eyes held mine, seeming to read how much I loved him- I didn't look away.
"I love you, too." I whispered. I meant it – I meant those three words more than I meant anything else. We kept looking into each other's eyes and then I saw his smoldering black-with-lust eyes gaze from my eyes, down to linger on my lips and then finally back into my eyes.
I could hear both of our breaths becoming uneven and ragged. His eyes closed as I pressed myself against him – my breath caressing the sensitive skin on his neck. I suppressed a smile as he involuntarily shivered. I was glad to know that I was the only one who could do this to him. I was the only person who could make him shiver with the slightest touch.
My small hands – compared to his – moved slowly to his chest, playing with the fabric of his shirt and I let them drift to the exposed skin of his collar and neck.
My lips brushed his but not quite kissing them. He lost his patience and rolled me over again. I grinned mischievously knowing my plan had worked. Maybe his control would slip…
He rested his hands on each side of my head and slowly leaned forward as if he were torturing me. This had turned into a teasing game. Gr. As much as I liked the small caresses and kisses – I wanted more. Great, now I was starting to sound spoiled.
His mouth was suddenly by my ear and I shivered as he let his breath wash over my ear. As if continuing the torture- he skimmed his nose down the line of my jaw and I involuntarily leaned my head back and sighed. Did he know what he did to me?
His lips returned to my ear and I heard him murmur my name. I meant to say Edward but it came out as Uuuh.
As he chuckled, he pressed his lips against mine – instantly turning serious. The kisses began to get rougher as he began playing with the top button of my shirt.
"Bella" he moaned as I sucked on his neck.
I decided to just tell him how I felt. "I need you, Edward" I placed a trail of kisses down his chest. My back arched and I pressed my body into his. His arms snaked around my small waist and pulled me closer.
My breathing was close to hyperventilating as I reached for the waistband of his jeans.
And then he was gone.
I sighed – frustrated.
"Edward?" I talked in a normal voice – knowing whispering was useless in a house full of vampires.
He didn't answer. He was standing by the door, obviously trying to control himself. I knew he wanted me – it was just as obvious as me wanting him. But I also knew he was old fashioned.
I stood up and slowly made my way toward him.
"Edward?" my voice was softer than before, trying to comfort him.
All I got in response was a sigh.
"I'm not breakable, you know? I'm not human – you won't hurt me" I whispered
"I know" his voice was barely a whisper. Another sigh. "Back in my day, it wasn't a very gentlemanly thing to do before marriage."
I held back a groan. Edward. "That was a long time ago, though." I knew my complaints were in vain. He was not going to give in.
"I'm sorry. I just – this is all new to me. I don't know what to do and I'm feeling things I haven't felt in so long, Bella." He became serious "I'm afraid" he confessed.
"Afraid?" I repeated. "You have nothing to be afraid of, Edward"
"I'm afraid that I might do something wrong…"
"Edward, you have absolutely nothing to worry about. You're good at everything" And with that said, I closed the space between us and hugged him.
"I don't know how to be close to you" he whispered against my hair
I placed my head on his chest – listening to his breathing even out. "This is enough" I whispered contently.
