Raven's Twilight

Ch. 17

"Edward?"

"Yes?"

Raven slips one of his shirts over her head before turning to look at him. "I really am sorry for ignoring you for nearly four days," she says.

Edward quickly slips on his shirt, using his vampiric speed to button it, before taking her face in his hands. His gaze was piercing, it was as if he was staring directly into her soul.

"I know, and I accept your apology, but I have to take responsibility for the part I played in this, too," he runs his thumbs over her cheekbones while drawing her a little closer. "I should have respected your decision to deal with your biological parents later, when you ready, instead of pushing you. I shouldn't have acted like I knew what was best for you,"

Raven nods in agreement. "You're right, you shouldn't have, but I knew you were only trying to help," she places a hand over his. "I shouldn't have reacted so harshly."

Edward nods in agreement. "You're right, you shouldn't have," he leans down and rests his forehead against hers all the while closing his eyes and taking a ragged deep breath. "I can't lose you, Raven, not ever. I won't survive it, I won't survive losing you."

Raven quickly cups his jaw and draws him into a kiss. Her hands are still on his face but not five seconds later her fingers are combing through his hair, her nails massaging his scalp. She can feel the vibration of his growl against her lips just before his arms circle her middle and crushes her, gently, against him.

Without giving it a second thought, Raven breaks the kiss and makes a trail of warm kisses down his jaw to his neck. She ignored how his body stiffened and continued to places kisses all of his neck.

"Raven..." his voice is shaky as she kisses the hallow of his ear.

"Yes?" she says in a teasing tone.

"We have to - you can't keep - " he was losing his mind. He couldn't form a coherent thought. Everything seemed to be in code.

"What? You don't like this?"

She combed her fingers through his hair, once again, but this time she fists his hair and gently yanks his head back, exposing his neck. With determination, Raven lowers her mouth to his throat, placing a soft kiss just below his Adam's apple. She continued her game of torture until she was sure his eyes were closed.

She peeked up from under her lashes to see that his eyes were in fact closed. That made her smile. "Edward?"

"Y - Yes?"

"Promise me you won't get mad at me," she says.

"Why would I - " 

She doesn't let him finish. Instead she lowers her mouth to his throat,  thrusts out her tongue and slowly slides her tongue up his neck and to his ear where she then takes his ear into her mouth and gently, maybe a little harder, nibbles on it.

Edwards eyes flew open and his jaw fell slack at the sensation of her hot tongue against his skin. He's never felt anything remotely close to what she just given him.

Suddenly, before either of them could react, Edward is no longer get in front of her. She quickly turns around to see that he is being held back by Emmett and Carlisle, Jasper is standing close by the door.

"What's going on?" she questions.

"You are what's going on," Emmett says.

"
A look of confusion takes shape of her face. "What do you mean, me?"

"Alice had a vision of the two of you," Carlisle looked a bit embarrassed as he spoke. "...going further than kissing," he says.

If he could blush he would surely be as red as red paint.

Ravens eyes widen as she realizes what he's saying. Alice had a vision of her and Edward going all the way.

"Oh. Oh! Wow!" she blushes scarlet red as she turns her gaze to meet Edwards. His eyes are black and filled with something she wasn't sure on how to read.

"Yeah. You have not the slightest close as to how tempting you are to my brother," Emmett says with a bright smile.

"In all honesty, I am surprised he has stayed in control for as long as he has," Jasper says suddenly. "His emotions, his desire for you, definitely betray his restraint."

"Three more seconds and Eddie boy here would no longer have been a virgin," Emmett says.

Again, Raven blushes. "Okay,  so what do we do now?"

"Well, he needs to calm his nerves so,  Emmett and I are going to take him up into the mountains to hunt," Carlisle says.

Raven meets Edwards gaze once again before climbing off the bed. She is still only dressed in his shirt but it's long enough to cover the necessary parts of her body. "Nice legs, Raven," Emmett says with a wide, playful smile.

She chuckles but slowly, cautiously, crosses the room towards Edward.

"Raven..." his tone is filled with warning.

She ignores his warning tone and doesn't stop until she is standing in front of him. "I'm sorry,"

"Why are you apologizing to me? I'm the one who almost lost control."

"...because I'm the one who tempted you. If I had not done that then you wouldn't have been tempted."

He shakes his head. "Raven, you are and will forever be tempting. Just looking at you tempts me in ways I've never known," he says. "You are tempting without effort."

"So are you," she says.

"Okay, you need to get him out of here like...now," Alice says, appearing beside Raven suddenly, stepping in front of her and pushing her back. "Now,  Carlisle!"

Raven touches her arm. "Alice, what -"

"I've never seen him lose so much control before. He wasn't thinking with his mind but with," Alice looks at her over her shoulder. "...he's going to need a few days."

"Well see you ladies in three days," Emmett says before him, Carlisle,  Jasper and Edward disappeared out of the room.

"Isn't this just great. We finally get to spend time with each other after four days and now I have to wait another three days to see him," Raven groans.

"Hey, it's going to be alright. Those three days will go by quickly," Alice says.

"No they won't. I'm going to be busy thinking about him which will make the days seem like years."

"Not if we distract you," Rosalie and Esme appear in the room.

"Distract me how?"

"By going out. We could go shopping, see movies, go dancing, and we could go to the Fair that's in town," Esme suggests.

Raven stares at her for a moment before smiling. "That sounds like a great idea," she says.

"Yay! Fun time!" Alice squeals.

"Why don't we go see a movie tonight," Raven suggested.

"Sure. What did you want to see?" Rosalie questions.

"How about The Choice.  It's a book, turned movie, by Nicolas Sparks."

"Oooo! I've been wanting to see that movie since it came out!" Alice squeals.

"Alright, then, let's go." Esme says.

Raven claps her hands. "Awesome! Let me get dressed."
