〃I know what I am。〃 

I sighed。 

But his mercurial mood shifted on me。 He pursed his lips; and his eyes 
were probing。 He examined my face for a long moment。 

〃You're ready now; then?〃 he asked。 

〃Um。〃 I gulped。 〃Yes?〃 

He smiled; and inclined his head slowly until his cold lips brushed 
against the skin just under the corner of my jaw。 

〃Right now?〃 he whispered; his breath blowing cool on my neck。 I shivered 
involuntarily。 

〃Yes;〃 I whispered; so my voice wouldn't have a chance to break。 If he 
thought I was bluffing; he was going to be disappointed。 I'd already made 
this decision; and I was sure。 It didn't matter that my body was rigid as 
a plank; my hands balled into fists; my breathing erratic… 

He chuckled darkly; and leaned away。 His face did look disappointed。 

〃You can't really believe that I would give in so easily;〃 he said with a 
sour edge to his mocking tone。 

〃A girl can dream。〃 

His eyebrows rose。 〃Is that what you dream about? Being a monster?〃 

〃Not exactly;〃 I said; frowning at his word choice。 Monster; indeed。 
〃Mostly I dream about being with you forever。〃 

His expression changed; softened and saddened by the subtle ache in my 
voice。 

〃Bella。〃 His fingers lightly traced the shape of my lips。 〃I will stay 
with you — isn't that enough?〃 

I smiled under his fingertips。 〃Enough for now。〃 

He frowned at my tenacity。 No one was going to surrender tonight。 He 
exhaled; and the sound was practically a growl。 

I touched his face。 〃Look;〃 I said。 〃I love you more than everything else 
in the world bined。 Isn't that enough?〃 

〃Yes; it is enough;〃 he answered; smiling。 〃Enough for forever。〃 

And he leaned down to press his cold lips once more to my throat。
