I sprinted towards Bella and caught her by the arm just before she entered the shower. As soon as my hand closed around her arm she spun on me, her eyes full of fire.
“Dr. Cullen, that is the second time you have put your hands on me… I wouldn’t recommend a third.”
“Sorry… I just… fuck…” I stuttered putting some space between us. I couldn’t form words because I didn’t know what to say or what I wanted.
She was unbelievably sexy and dangerous and I was so intrigued by her that it was hard to think.
It’s as if she gave me the same rush I got when I was fighting for someone’s life.
“I didn’t catch all that,” Bella asked relaxing slightly.
“I just want to apologize for my behavior the other night, and the first night… hell just about every time we’ve met. I was rude… please… forgive me,” I said my voice calm and low.
“I don’t need apologies Dr. Cullen…”
“Edward,” I interrupted realizing how pompous I must have seemed this whole time never offering her to call me by my first name.
“As I was saying I don’t need your apologies Edward, but thank you anyways, you’re forgiven just this once,” Bella replied with a sly smile and my name falling from her lips sounded like honey wrapped in velvet.
It was this moment that I knew I had to do whatever I could to have her.
“Maybe just once then…you could allow me to show my gratitude by taking you to dinner,” I offered taking a very measured step closer.
