He'd been hunting for hours and fed several times but Edward still had only the tiniest shred of control. Bella represented control and chaos, wrapped in one all too lovely and fragile package. He wanted her; it had been an undeniable fact in his life since he'd first seen her in Banner's biology class so long ago

For awhile, Bella had managed to fall into a restless sleep. It hadn't lasted all night, not even close, and most often she'd awakened with her heart pounding in her chest and perspiration plastering her hair to her forehead. From that point on she was afraid to fall back asleep, and had ended up staring at the wall or the ceiling until her eyes wouldn't stay open anymore.

When the door opened she heard it, and her eyes were open when he came to her side. Surprised, Bella sat up slowly, her feet dangling off the edge of the bed, and she put her hand in his without a moment's hesitation.

"Do I?" she asked, entwining her fingers with his. There was something glittering in his eyes, and it made her want to shiver in a way that wasn't unpleasant at all.

Edward lifted her into his arms, carrying her into the bathroom and starting the shower long and hot. "Tell me if it's too hot, love. I don't want to scald you, but I have to acclimate a little."

Bella slid her arms around his neck, tucking herself against his chest. "I will," she said. "I'm sure it will be fine."

"I can't make my own heat, you see, so this is the next best thing," he murmured, pulling off their clothes and pulling her into the shower. "And I think you'll want me hotter than room temperature for this."
