Chapter 143

• Opening my eyes for a moment, I realize that Edward appears to be at war with himself. His eyes are closed shut and he is biting his lips tightly together as if he is trying to hold something back. Suddenly it dawns on me that Edward is trying to fight his wolf from biting me again, but I am unable to even begin to think about the reason why, because my own snarls in his direction and takes complete control of my body. Grabbing his neck she pulls him down, locates our previous mark and, before I've even had a chance to breathe, our teeth have elongated and we are about to bury them in his creamy skin. Edward's chest rumbles with a loud growl and his pounding hips accelerate before a deafening groan fills the air. All of a sudden, my body feels like it has been struck by a gigantic wave of sheer ecstasy and my second orgasm begins to tremble through me. Just as the first tremors begin, I feel a pair of sharp teeth rip into my skin and can feel a wave of heat spread within me. Immediately, my wolf urges me to do the same and soon I can feel Edward's warm blood on my tongue. I can feel how our bond strengthens at our sharing of blood and for a second I lose all sense of time and place. All I can feel is him and how our bodies feel like they are one. An amazing sense of belonging spreads within me and I feel like I'm suddenly a part of something much larger than myself.
• I have no idea how long we lay there, both of us lost in our connection. Edward is the first one to move, slowly lifting his body a little from mine on trembling arms. His emerald eyes meet mine and the emotion I find there urges me to cover his lips with mine in a soft kiss. He willingly accepts and deepens our kiss for a second before pulling back. Our shaky breaths mix together as he affectionately runs his nose against mine before kissing the top of my head.
• "Jesus, Bella," he whispers, exhaling deeply as though he can't comprehend what just happened between us.
