"Edward" she said my name in her sleep. I was going to miss that when she was changed. she threw her arms around me, which was quite a feat considering we were on opposite sides of the blankets. I pulled her closer to me. I was a selfish creature, but I didn't care. Having her blood pulsing next to my skin was punishment enough. Although the warmth was amazing.

I was thinking too much. If I were human this would be much easier. But I wasn't human. I was a vampire, and Bella was the most fragile human I've ever met. Like a soap bubble. I kissed her forehead lightly, trying not to wake her. She responded by tilting her head so her lips met mine.

I couldn't help myself. I kissed her soft lips and felt the warmth flow through my lips into my very core. I kissed her jaw and neck, feeling the warmth and wetness between her legs. I rolled her onto her back and peeled back the quilt, and ran my hand over her body. I felt her hard nipples through the sheets, and my member began to throb and grow.

I slid the sheets down and knelt between her legs, which spread instinctively. I could smell her arousal, so much sweeter than her blood. I slowly slid her pajama pants and underwear down, careful not to touch her, afraid that the cold of my skin might wake her up.

When her beautiful sex was finally revealed to me, I took a sharp breath. I had to taste her. I was sure this was safe, as long as I kept my teeth away from her.

I stuck out my tongue and slowly slid it along her wet slit. When I got to her bud, she moaned a little in her sleep. I figured it was okay to move forward, so I slid my tongue into her, and then moved back to her clit while my finger slowly moved in and out of her. "Edward," she moaned again as I felt her muscles contract around my finger.

I pulled my finger out of her and licked her juices from my hand before dressing and covering her again. As I slid next to her, she opened her eyes and whispered, "and you said I couldn't act."
