"Thank you Edward." She said slightly out of breath. I gazed into her eyes and gently placed her back on her feet, unsure if her knees would hold her. Her fragility still amazed me and I was never sure how rough I could be. She was like a small flower, so beautiful, but so breakable at the same time. Bella bit her lip and turned away to hide her blush and walked slower, watching for anymore treacherous twigs.

The sea crashed loudly and I walked hand in hand with my angel along the shore, enjoying the feel of the salty waters brushing over our feet. Although, really all I could focus on was her hand in mine. It fit so perfectly in my frozen fingers and her amazing warmth spread up my fingers, through my hand and into my arm. The quiet fire I always felt was growing and it seemed like all the heat was originated between our grasp.

Suddenly, Bella twisted and ran into the waves excited. I watched in slight shock as she threw her arms up and let the water crash over her. The silver water caressed her gorgeous body and made the tips of her hair damp. She laughed and the sound pierced through me, "Come on Edward! This is amazing."

Temptress, I thought as I slowly walked out to join her. The water rushed over my feet and up my calves as I treaded easily through the swell. I couldn’t see anything other than my beautiful Bella only feet ahead of me. Although, I found myself stopping frozen as she took off her sweater and threw it on shore. The pink tank top she had on underneath clung to her figure tightly and it was slowly becoming soaked as the water crashed around her sides. My eyes trickled down her hair, to her shoulders and I was suddenly so aware of her body; the small drops of water that trailed down her shoulder blades, her hypnotic heart beat I could hear over the crashing waters, her arms extend towards the now almost black sky.

I felt my body pull off my own shirt and move towards her and for the briefest moment I stepped aside and let my instincts guide me. We weren’t going to have this opportunity for a while and for some reason it seemed a perfectly logical excuse to let myself feel this way. I felt the water climb up my thighs and break on my waist, I smiled enjoying the sensation as I stood only inches from my Bella. Slowly, I trickled my fingers down her stretched arms and the slight gasp she released made my blood burn. She put her arms down and began to turn until I whispered lightly in her ear, "No, stay where you are please."

My hands went to her shoulders and brushed down her back until they became submerged under the flowing waters and rested on her hips. Her heart was racing and I knew that if mine still beat it would as well. I pulled her close until her back was against my chest. Her head rested on the small of my neck and I kissed her jaw line softly. It took everything I had to keep my kisses soft and gentle for her until a clap of thunder went off in the distance and the vibration moved through the water and up our now stiff bodies. I pulled her firmly against me and placed my lips against her's, almost losing control at the light moan she let out.

"Edward." She gasped and I felt the waves move over us only adding to the delicious tension we already felt. She pulled back and looked into my eyes, "Now?" She asked out of breath. I wanted too, oh, how badly I wanted to take her in the heat of the storm that was crashing around us. Her lips brushed against mine and it took all I had to pull back, "Not yet my love."

She groaned and turned to embrace me. Her tank top was now soaked and I could feel her skin against mine, frozen yet on fire at the same time, "When?!?" She cried almost in as much pain as I was. I took a breath and tipped her chin up to face me before I smiled softly, "When you become Mrs. Cullen."

"That’s too far away, it’s going to take a unstoppable force of nature to keep me locked up." I glanced around and turned her to look forward at the sheet of rain coming our way. Right before it hit I leaned down and whispered, "You are my unstoppable force of nature." And I closed my eyes as the rain engulfed us.
