to herself.

"No I don't think that would be strange at all. What are you trying to say?"

He moved closer to her and took the book out of her hands, he placed it on the bed side table next to him and took Bella's hand in his. She felt like electric shocks were going through her body.

"What I'm saying is that I'm attracted to you." He said in a low voice.

He let go of her hand and tangled his hand in her hair as he reached for the nape of her neck, he pulled her closer to him and then softly kissed her. She was hesitant at first and then gave into the kiss. She kissed him back softly, he felt carried away and kissed her more passionately, licking her bottom lip gently and then pushing her onto the bed. He pinned her hands to the bed and slowly broke away from the kiss as he stared into her brown eyes. She looked up at him like a helpless victim, he smirked at her.

"You were lying in the car, you do want to have this kind of fun with me."

She glared at him and struggled to break free from his hold, he was confused at her reaction, most woman loved it when he did this. Bella wasn't most woman.

"Get off of me!." She said as he released her hands.

She rolled away from him. She looked upset and annoyed.

"You didn't stop me from kissing you." He said sounding angry.

"That was before I knew this was just a game to you. You wanted to prove a point, you took it too far. Please just leave and tomorrow we can pretend this never happened." She said as she sat up and fixed her shirt that had moved.

He was shocked now, didn't she feel the chemistry between them when they kissed? Even he wasn't expecting that.

He glared at her and then walked out of the room. How was he going to make her fall in love with him if she treated any physical contact from him as if he was going to rape her? He slammed the door shut and started cursing under his breath. He grabbed a vase that was placed out in the hallway on a small table and threw it against the wall, breaking it into pieces. She would pay for doing that, he hated rejection.

Bella felt overwhelmed, when Edward kissed her she thought she would explode into a million pieces, but he had frightened her when he pinned her hands to the bed. She felt helpless and when he said she was lying about earlier she felt like he was just doing that to prove a point and that he didn't truly like her. Would he hate her now for doing that? She was scared that he would want her to do more than she could offer right now.

Relationships were never her thing, she didn't even understand how she could make one work with someone like him. He has issues that much was true, but even though she was mad at him she wanted to help him. She wanted to be the one who would eventually save him from himself. She wanted to save his soul. The only real question was, did he even have a soul that could be saved or would she be wasting her time? Bella knew well enough that everyone's souls deserved to be saved regardless of how bad or evil they seemed. She wanted to find Edward's light, she wanted to be the one who could show it to him.

She jumped off the bed and then opened the door quickly. She knew that she had to find him. She saw a broken vase laying a few feet away from her, she shook her head, she had really angered him. She saw him walking into a room, she walked faster until she reached him. She walked into the room and walked over to him. He saw her and then glared at her, his emerald eyes looked dark now, it was almost black.

"What do you want?" He snarled.

She knew he was angry, but she had to fix it.

"I'm sorry Edward, I'm so sorry. I just got.. scared." She said honestly.

"Scared? I wasn't going to rape you." He said.

He looked at her and then placed his hands on her shoulders. She was afraid he would hurl her across the room.

"I know, I just didn't think I'd be able to give you what you wanted so I freaked out." She rambled.

He looked into her eyes, she could see that he was calming down now.

"I don't want more than you can give right now. You should know that." He said softly.

She knew this was her chance to do something crazy, something bold. She wrapped her arms around his neck and pressed her body against his. He wrapped his arms around her waist, trapping her against him. She kissed him on the lips hungrily, it was the craziest thing she had done so far. They continued to kiss as he moved them towards the bed, he turned her around so she was facing him and pushed her onto the bed. He pulled away from their kiss, she looked at him curiously.

"Lets go to sleep." He said.

"Why?" She asked.

"Because I want to show you that you can trust me."

He smiled and then turned the lights off. This was the strangest situation she had ever been in. She crawled over to the right side of the bed and covered herself with the blanket, she watched as Edward did the same. She moved closer to him.

"I do trust you Edward." She said.

He smiled at her and didn't say anything because that was the most foolish decision she could ever make, yet it would benefit him greatly. However it didn't make him feel better because he felt something when they kissed, something he had never felt before, it stirred his heart and up until now he had thought his heart had died.


Chapter 5

Bella woke up and was sure that last night had been a she really kiss Edward and end up sleeping in his bed? She felt an arm around her waist, she sighed to herself. It wasn't a dream, it was reality. She felt so embarrassed for what she had done. At least she did something bold, it was what she wanted. She felt safe with Edward's arm wrapped around her, it felt right. Being close to hi
m felt natural, but she remembered how angry he was last night and she felt afraid of him. She moved his arm away slowly and got out of bed. She turned to look at him, he looked almost innocent when he was asleep, she felt something in her heart gravitate towards him. She definitely cared about him, but she also knew it wasn't a very smart thing to do.

He opened his eyes slowly and looked at her. He smiled, he still looked sleepy but now that he had rested, all the anger from last night seemed to disappear.

"You're leaving without saying good morning?" He teased.

Bella ran her fingers through her hair and laughed.

"Of course." She said jokingly.

"So.. about last night." He said.

She held her hand up to stop him, she didn't want to discuss something she hadn't had time to process yet.

"Lets talk about it at breakfast? Maybe we should go somewhere."

He smiled at her and nodded his head.

"Okay boss, I'll take you to this diner I always go to." He said and then yawned.

She smiled at him.

"That sounds perfect, I'll go get ready."

She quickly walked out of the room and headed back to her own room. "I can't believe I shared a bed with him last night, what the hell is going on?" She thought to herself.

Edward walked down to the entrance hall, he was wearing a black shirt with jeans. He held his leather wallet in his hand and waited for Bella to show up. Last night had been intense, he had almost ruined his whole plan, but Bella had really upset him when she acted like he was going to rape her, that really pissed him off. He was surprised when she came to him and apologized; he knew that he had to prove himself to her so he asked her to sleep in his bed to prove that he would never do anything to her unless he had her permission. There was something about their kiss that made him feel unsettled, he didn't know what it was, but Bella had a certain effect on him and he was trying hard to shake it off. At least they had some sort of chemistry. He might as well have some sort of fun while his father bossed him around.

Bella was taking forever to dress and it was annoying him, if Bella was one of his employees he would have fired her for her tardiness, he hated waiting for people it was one of his pet peeves. Just then, Bella descended down the stair case and walked towards him. She looked breathtaking in a short, black bandage dress paired with Chuck Taylors, he smirked at her. He wondered why she had chosen to dress up a little today, he assumed it had to do with him. Women were always trying to impress him.

"I'm sorry I took so long." She said.

He waved his hand in front of him to dismiss her apology.

"It's okay, I didn't mind waiting for you." He lied.

She smiled at him for thinking he was being kind to her.

"Thanks!" She said.

He smirked and nodded his head.

"Are you ready to go, beautiful?" He asked.

She smiled brightly at him and nodded her head. She was so trusting, it was making him upset because he didn't want to exploit her trust or kindness.

20 minutes later they had arrived at a rustic looking diner in a secluded area of town. Bella was expecting him to take her to some pretentious place, but was glad that he had chosen something more low key. He held the door open for her, she thanked him and walked inside. They found an empty booth and sat down. Bella reached for the brown menu and scanned it to see if she could find anything that she liked. She was reading about the spinach omelet when Edward cleared his throat, she looked up at him.

"Can we talk about last night?" He asked.

She looked back down at the menu, she didn't know if she was really ready to talk to him about it or not, but she knew she had no choice.

"Yes we can."

"I don't want to pretend like it never happened. We should try to see if we have something, maybe I could kiss you again?" He asked.

Bella looked directly into his emerald eyes, something felt insincere in what he was saying, Bella was good at reading people and Edward's eyes and demeanor didn't look honest to her at all. She didn't know if
