A/N- Hello everyone. So I'm coming towards the end of writing this story, not updating, just writing. I always write farther ahead than I update. Anyway, so I just wanted to let you know.

Happycookbook- Well I guess I just have good timing. I think pretty much all the cast is hot, but Cam gives James that overly bad boy look to him which is just amazing!

twilghtfan78- Well I like your "hunch". Yes this story is going to get quite interesting pretty soon.

BirdieInABox16- Yes vampires and humans… as James is about to say, it can be quite a dangerous combo.

AnnaMollyPR- I got your review right before I started to get everything ready for the update! Perfect timing! I definitely agree with you and Happycookbook about Cam…

"A human and a vampire? That's a dangerous combo." James said after a few minutes. He had an evil smirk on his face as he said it.

"If Edward and Bella can do it, I think we can." I replied. "I mean, you are after all, you are stronger than him." I played with the collar of his shirt innocently.

"You are just trying to boost my ego." James said. "And it's working." Before I knew what happened James had his lips plastered against my own. At first my hands gripped his shirt for balance against his attack, but they quickly started to follow a path up and around his neck. Even though James kept his lips closed, I could feel his feeling through the kiss. My tongue innocently darted out to run against his bottom lip, forcing James to growl. He pulled back from me, although his hands remained on my hips and he didn't move farther than he had to.

As soon as his lips left mine I sucked in a large breath of air, not realizing how long I had gone without it. James had his eyes closed and seemed to be calming down his breathing, even though he didn't have to. "James? Are you alright?" I asked tentatively.

"I understand why there has been no other vampire-human relationships." James replied.

"What? Why?"

"We fight the urge to drain you dry every second you're around, but it's bearable. But when you cause such intense feelings within me to stir… my true nature starts to take hold."

"Meaning…"

"Meaning if we went farther, you could easily be turned into a vampire tonight…"

"Which I already told you I was ok with."

"Or, I could easily drain you and kill you."

"O that could be an issue." I said, resting my head against James' stone hard chest. Surprisingly, the missing beating of a heart didn't bother me. Instead the quiet let me think of how to get around the problem… if that was even possible. "I wish I knew about this before, when I could have asked Bella how she got past it with Edward…"

"I doubt they did."

"Why?"

"Like you said, I'm the stronger one." James grinned proudly and I couldn't help but laugh. James was starting to act like a gorilla, puffing is chest out with all the manly ego he could muster. We relaxed so that I was leaning on his chest and he went back to stroking my back and shoulder.

"Do you promise that you'll come back to me?" I asked.

"I promise if you promise to stay with Laurent so I know where to find you." James replied.

"I will." I said. "We're headed to Alaska. I think it's Dekani or something like that."

"Denali, Laurent told me before he left to hunt." James replied.

"I'll be there as soon as possible, or I'll call so we can meet somewhere else." James replied.

"How much longer do we have?" I asked.

"An hour or two at the most. Not long really."

"Can we go for a run again?" I asked. James nodded and stood up. He didn't have to pick me up because this time I jumped on his back. My arms and legs wrapped around his neck like they were never going to let him go.

"You couldn't hold on any tighter?" James joked.

"You would escape that much sooner then." I replied. To emphasize my point I squeezed a bit more before relaxing. James took off into the forest, effortlessly avoiding all of the trees, bushes, and rocks. He stopped at an open field and let me down, even though I still tried to hold on.

"You do realize I will have to leave, no matter what."

"I know, but I don't want to think about that." I whispered.

"What caused this change in heart by the way?"

"I was talking to Laurent…"

"He seems to be able to get anyone to share their deepest feelings with him." James grinned.

"I know, anyway, I was talking to him and he made me accept what my heart was telling me the whole time. It was like my brain just didn't want to accept the feelings my heart was sure it was feeling because it wanted to believe that you were a figment of my imagination. I just knew I couldn't deny it any longer." I explained as best as I could, but my explanation even confused me and I don't know how James understood it.

"You thought we would disappear and if you admitted your feelings then you'd be heartbroken?"

"Something like that." I muttered.

"Well at least you finally admitted." James replied. I knew there was a second part of the sentence and I was happy that he chose to ignore it. "Now, let's try that kissing thing again."

"You think you can handle it?" I teased. James just smiled, slipped a hand into my hair and tilted my face so I was looking straight up at him. He bent down and slanted his lips over mine. My arms instantly flew to his neck as my knees started to collapse. The kiss still hadn't progressed farther than the last one and my knees were already going weak. James' other arm had slipped around my waist and was holding me against him so I wouldn't fall.

I was so lost into the kiss that his tongue coming out and running against my bottom lip made me startle. I opened my mouth and sucked his tongue in, eliciting a moan from the man, excuse me, vampire before me. The kiss didn't get to go farther as James pulled back once more. He held me a bit farther back, but I understood the reason now so I just waited patiently for him to grab hold and calm his vampire instincts back down.

When his arms went slack, the magnet that kept pulling me to his chest returned and I found myself leaving small butterfly kisses on his chest. "Cerys…" James warned as he groaned.

"Yes?"

"You really need to stop."

"Really?"

"Yes." I pouted but removed my lips and turned around so my back was pressed against his own back. A stiffness poking me in the back made me look up at him with heated curiosity. "I told you that you needed to stop. If I can barely control my instincts when we kiss… I don't want to try to go farther."

"But you'll be left…"

"I'll be fine. Don't worry. We should get back. I need to meet Victoria soon." James said. His manhood was already starting to relax as reality was once more placed before us. I didn't say anything. I jumped onto his back again and hung on while he raced through the trees. A few tears streaked down my face, but were lost in the forest by the wind whipping around us. Before I knew it, or liked it, we were back at the small clearing where Laurent and I had stopped and James had found me asleep.

Without saying a word James wiped the tears from my eyes. "Stay with Laurent and I will be back before you know it."

"A promise for a promise."

"A promise for a promise." James agreed. He kissed me gently once more before disappearing into the forest. The feeling of his lips on mine remained long after he had dashed off. As I touched my lips to keep the feeling there, my mind started to come up with a plan. I would try to help, no matter what that meant.

I stopped breathing for a few seconds before listening to the world around me. A few leaves rustled from a quiet breeze, but other than that there were no traces of Laurent, Victoria, or James. Before I had time to rethink my plan, I took off running in the direction towards the Cullens' house… or at least I hoped it was the right way.
