He paused in thought.

“Are you sure you want to be…a monster?” he asked, worry creasing his marble forehead.
“Well no, I don't want to be a monster.” I paused automatically after seeing hurt flash across his eyes. “I want to be like you.” I finished to try and let him see what I had meant.

He seemed to finally understand. He leaned down and brushed his cool lips against mine. My breathing automatically hitched and I put my fingers in his already wild hair. This time he didn't fight me and instead, pressed his lips harder against mine, gripping me closer, trying not to leave bruises along the way.

With the kiss, all the bad memories, empty, lonely nights, pain, and all other forms of thought from the past few months, disappeared.

I tried to deepen the kiss by parting my lips, but that made him stop me. I tried to hide the hurt I felt, knowing it was silly since he couldn't exactly resist my blood and I was pushing his temptations.

“Not tonight. Soon, though. Very soon. I don't know how long I can wait.” he said trying to catch the breath he didn't need.
“I'm gonna hold you to that.” I said smirking at him.

He picked me up bridal style and placed me in my bed again. He pulled the covers tight around me and laid down beside me. He draped his arm over my waist and nuzzled his face into my hair, inhaling deeply.

“What are you doing?” I asked, yawning at the end.
“Trying to recommit your smell to memory.” he said, taking in another gulp of air.
“Mm.” I replied sleepily.

I was about to fall asleep when I remembered something.

“Edward, you never explained anything.” I said closing my eyes.
“Not now my beautiful Bella, sleep now.” he said cooing me to sleep.
“Okay. Oh and Edward, are you going to leave again?” I asked drifting into sleep.
“No, love. I'm here now. Forever.” he whispered in my ear.

The last thing I heard before falling asleep, was Edward humming my lullaby in my ear.

A/N: So I started this chapter right after I finished TAOOD's Ch. 8 and it came to me super fast. So here is Chapter 5 of I'll Want You Forever. I hope you enjoyed it. I'll be working on Ch. 9 of TAOOD and Ch. 6 of this one probably at the same time, plus a few new stories are on the way. Be on the lookout and be sure to check out my other stories if you haven't already. Tell me what you think! R&R please! Thanks!
