"Why did ya decided to go into nursing," I ask as she cuddles up next to me. My fingers trail down her spine and back up again.

I feel her tense but I keep stroking her gently. I have a deep desire to know every little thing about her. I want to know her, not just her body but her heart and mind, too.

"I lost both my parents to a horrible accident when I was 13. The nurses who helped care for them in their last hours left an impression on me." I feel her shuddering breath against my chest. My fingers continue to move up and down her back.

"Even though they were brain dead, the still treated them as humans, with dignity and respect. One of them held my hand as we pulled the plug."

I kiss her temple, to reassure her that she is safe, that I'm here for her.

"Where did you go after?" Her finger starts to trace patterns on my chest.

"My Grammy Swan came to live in my house. She died a month after I graduated high school. Alice and Angela are my family now." Her words are whispers but I hear the sadness.

My Bella is strong. That's right, there is no denying, she's mine.

"Tell me about you," her voice pleads.

"Emmett and I grew up in Chicago our entire life. Jazz and Rose have been in our life since we were in school." I smile as I think of a lifetime of memories. "There isn't much we didn't do together. Our parents got us into music as a foursome and that got us to where we are today."

She looks up at me and smiles.

"Sounds wonderful." There is a wistful tone to her words.

I roll her over. I look deep into her eyes; I see the pain that never ever leaves her. Suddenly, I need to show her that she is worthy of devotion.

I start to lavish her body with kisses, affection and passion. So I start to learn those places that make her sigh; ones that make her laugh and the ones that make her moan. I work her body into a frenzy. Her scent is thick and heavy in the room.

My hands caress where I have kissed and licked. Her body is trembling as I keep her on the very edge of her release. She tosses her head from side to side.

"Please, Edward," I know she is asking for more than just release. She wants a place to let it all go.

"I got you baby; you're so safe with me."

Her body sags in relief and I see her begin to fly high. With reluctance I pull off her body. Her groan makes me smile.

Don't worry baby, I got what you need.

A/N: Hmmm what ya got for her Edward?
