I DO NOT OWN TWILIGHT OR IT'S CHARACTERS. ALL RECOGNIZABLE CHARACTERS BELONG TO STEPHENIE MEYERS. THE PLOT AND ANY OC'S BELONG TO ME.

PREFACE

To say I was stunned when he walked into that clearing was an understatement. He was just as beautiful as the last time I'd seen him.

"MINE!" his mind screamed to me when he looked up at me, standing with the rest of my family. Otherwise, he seemed to be as stunned and speechless as I was.

I missed the entire conversation that took place between Carlisle and the black vampire with dreadlocks. My mind drifted back to the last time I'd seen him nearly 75 years ago.

FLASHBACK

"I don't want you to go, baby. Won't you please stay with me, Edward." He said, his cock, still deep inside me and caressing my face.

"I have to, love. My sire is already disappointed in me. He saw me feeding and asked me to come home. He changed me and saved my life. I owe it to him. And this life is not what I thought it would be," I told him honestly.

"Am I not enough for you? Tell me what it is you want, and I will be that for you," he whispered his eyes sad.

"Love, you are more than enough. Do you really mean anything? Are you willing to change your diet? Feed from animals as my family does?" I asked him. He looked away without saying a word. That was all the answer I needed. He finally slipped out of me and sat on the edged of the bed with his back to me.

"Edward, it's not natural for vampires to feed that way. Anything baby. Anything but that, I would do to keep you," He said with his back still to me. With a sigh, I got out of bed. I knelt between his legs and rested my head on his strong chest and wrapped my arms around his waist. He bent down and kissed the mass of unruly red hair on my head.

Everything I'd done since leaving Carlisle was against everything I'd come to learn. Homosexuality was a taboo, forbidden in our time. I was always ashamed that, even with my human parents, that I had an attraction to boys.

I was on the track team in high school, and I'd ogle the other members of the team in the locker room as we changed. Their bodies were beautiful. Their lean runner's bodies and their long, muscular runner's legs. Though, I was shy and never would have had the courage to approach any of them. And though they never said anything to me, I could tell they were disgusted with me for ogling their bodies.

Then, when I was turned by Carlisle. I'd had a crush on the young doctor that was friends with my father. When my entire family became sick with this new form on influenza, it was Dr. Carlisle that cared for us. When he bit me, at first, I thought he was going to kiss me. Finally, give in to what I'd been feeling for him all along.

While I was going through the hell of what I now know was the venom of the change, I thought for sure, I had died and was burning in hell for my homosexual thoughts.

Now, here I am, in a homosexual relationship with a vampire, while feeding on human blood.

"James, as much as I want to stay with you, I just can't. I—I—I'm sorry," I said, finally meeting his eyes.

James said nothing more. He only got up put on his clothes and fled my dead parent's home. I'd never seen him again.

END FLASHBACK

Until today. Now, I stand here with the new love of my life, while the old love of my life stands before me.

Just then, the wind picked up. My eyes turned black at the same time as James'. We both smell the fragrant blood of my Bella at the same time.

"I see you've brought a snack," He snarls. I can't say I'm stunned by his words. Unlike me, James never cared for what human he partook of. But, my returning snarl, as I place Bella protectively behind me, shook him to his core.

"I'm sorry. So, the human, she means something to you. I want you, Edward. You are mine. Please, baby, come back to me. If she makes you happy, she can come with you. I promise, I won't hurt her," He says to me in his mind. I look down briefly at Bella. Will she be disgusted by me if she knew? I could run with her. Pretend to my family that I am taking her to get her away from James. Then I could explain everything to her. If she is accepting, then the three of us could run away together. If not, I would leave her, unharmed, and she could go on with her human life.

"Call me, baby, please. Tell me what you decide," He thinks again so only I can hear, before rattling off his phone number in his mind. I give a quick nod, letting him know I will, before turning and running out of the clearing. I turn back to catch a quick glance, and he, too, was gone.

This is just a little something my plot bunnies came up with while I was writing more chapters for my other story Our Mate. Is this something you would like to see continue? I don't have a working title yet, but it would be a ExBxJames triad pairing. Picking up in Twilight during the baseball game. Those who know me, know I can't do an Edward ship if he isn't gay or bi hee hee hee. Anyway, there will be some angst with Victoria and the Volturi. It will follow mostly the same timeline as the James incident but with a twist. If you wish to read more, please leave me a review. If not, I will pull it.
