A short while later after what felt like the longest drive ever I stop outside Bella’s darkened house and turn the Impala’s rumbling engine off.
“So...” Bella starts saying as bites her bottom lip.
I want to reach out and pull her across the stick shift into my lap and do that to her lip myself. Every rational part of me is telling me that I shouldn’t. I’m a hunter. There is no place for relationships in my life and Bella can never be just a roll in the hay as I pass through town on my way to another job. She deserves more. I wish I could be the one to offer her more but my lifestyle doesn’t allow for it.
“What’s wrong, Edward?” Bella asks turning towards me. “What are you thinking?”
“That I can’t...” I trail off unsure about how I would explain this to Bella. How do you tell someone that you want them but don’t want them at the same time?
“That you can’t what, Edward?” she asks sounding a little angry. “That you can’t kiss me then run away from me? That what you did was wrong?”
“Bella,” I sigh, looking away from her and out my window. “I shouldn’t have kissed you, it was wrong and I apologise.”
“Kissed me? Edward, I don’t know if you noticed but I kissed you back.” I look back at her at that moment and find Bella only inches away from me. “I wanted to kiss you,” Bella breathes and I can smell her sweet scent before it caresses my skin. She smells like lilacs and rain.
“Bella...” I start but before I’m able to continue she pushes her soft lips against mine, her tongue gently requesting entry.
