Edward
The longer I spent in Bella's presence, the more my thoughts swirled in confusion. Initially, I had only seen her as a means to break my curse, but Arnold's desire for her had stirred up unexpected emotions within me. The idea of my friend possessing her, touching her, having her in ways that left me feeling conflicted, ignited a fierce anger within me. It was irrational, I told myself. I shouldn't want her in that way, but the truth was undeniable. I desired her. Desperately, if I dared to admit it.
Perhaps a single encounter would quench this insatiable longing I harbored for the woman I had taken from Earth. Centuries had passed since I had been intimate with a female, and I had remained disinterested in anyone since Ara was taken from me.
The more I toyed with Bella, the stronger my attraction to her grew. It infuriated me, yet I couldn't deny the strange connection that seemed to bind us together. When I sensed her confusion and arousal intertwining, I recalled injecting some of my magic into her during our last encounter. The realization that Arnold had not been with her only fueled my rage further, reminding me of the loss of another woman who had once been mine.
As I grappled with these conflicting emotions, I couldn't help but wonder if Bella held the key to breaking not only my curse but also the walls I had built around my heart. The thought both terrified and intrigued me, leaving me torn between the desire to possess her and the fear of losing myself in the process.
The second time, my sole desire was to alleviate her pain and make her experience pleasurable. By infusing some of my magic into her, I created a bond so strong that she would always be connected to me, no matter where she was. As I pulled her close, the urge to possess her consumed me, but the need to gaze into her eyes overpowered my initial impulse.
I longed to explore every part of her, not just as The Beast, but as the man I once was. I yearned to be both rough and tender with her. As she nestled into my side, her soft breaths and the way she fit perfectly against me stirred something deep within me. I buried my face in her neck, inhaling her intoxicating scent that now filled me with an insatiable hunger.
Just as I was drifting off, Bella suddenly jolted awake, her eyes wide with fear. It was clear she was disoriented and terrified of her surroundings. I knew then that I had to protect her, to guide her through the darkness that threatened to consume us both.
I sat up, my arm tightening around her waist as I growled lightly in her ear, sending shivers down her spine. I wanted to banish her fear and replace it with the desire that burned within me. I needed her to understand that I was determined to protect her, not only to rid myself of The Darkness, but because I had developed feelings for her that went beyond the capabilities of a Beast.
"Where do you think you're going, sweetheart?" I asked huskily, rolling over to pin her down on the bed. As her hands reached for my chest, the overwhelming lust I felt for her consumed me. I couldn't help but smirk as my desire swelled between us, knowing that soon she would be mine in more ways than just a servant.
"Running away already? I've told you before, you're not going anywhere," I declared, my voice dripping with intensity and possessiveness. My cock twitched as the smell of her arousal started to fill the space around us.
My eyes flickered between red and their usual gray as she whispered, "I was not…"
"Oh? Then why do you look so guilty?" I murmured as I brushed my lips along her neck, while her face turned red, telling me that she was as into this moment as I was. "You belong to me now, Bella. Do not forget that." Not that she would be able to. I would make sure of it. I kept my eyes glued to hers as I lowered my mouth to hers, biting at her lips until she opened hers so I could thrust my tongue inside. I moved my hands down her body before tugging the hem of her dress up, baring her lower half to me. "Spread your legs," I grunted, forcing my knee between hers to nudge them open. But I pulled my knee up slightly. The Beast was emerging, and I wanted to be present too. I would not allow him control over her unless she willed it. I would not rob her of that choice, no matter how much I wanted her to be fully mine. But he took over.
When her legs dropped open more, I released the string on my trousers. My cock and my horns sprang forward as her eyes grew dark and widened. I rubbed my thick tip against her core, eliciting an excited moan from her. The sound spurred me on, and I thrust into her without hesitation. She lifted her hips, sending me deeper inside of her. I took her hands to pin them above her head as I repeatedly thrust into her. I grunted angrily as the feel of her pussy gripping my shaft teased something in my soul that I thought had died with Ara.
I buried my face in her neck to hide just how much she was affecting me. She lifted my face from my neck and kissed me passionately as her hands slid over my horns, holding them tightly as she rode my dick. When I got close to cumming, I bit into her neck, pushing more of my magic into her. She jerked beneath me, and her movements became more wild. I felt a disconnect. Bella no longer felt like Bella. What is going on?
"Edward!" I froze for a moment when I heard the voice that fell from her lips before pounding into her furiously.
"Ara," I moaned. Why was my mind drifting to her when it should be on Bella? The Beast in me growled in frustration as the other part of me wished it were real.
"Edward," she repeated as we came undone together. I collapsed on top of her, panting as I came down from the mindblowing orgasm she gave me while she ran her hands up and down my back. "Edward?" She murmured.
My heart sped up as I raised my head to meet her eyes. I searched her face, startled to find myself looking into Ara's eyes, and not Bella's. "Ara?" My mind is playing tricks with me. Is Bella experiencing this too?
She smiled at me as she ran her fingers affectionately through my hair. "I've missed you."
My heart ached in my chest as emotions threatened to choke me. "I've missed you, too. I'm so sorry that I couldn't protect you. That I couldn't save you." I finally admitted what had haunted me for so long.
Her smile faltered for a moment before it was back in place. "I've watched you for centuries plot your revenge and execute it, and it has crushed me. I miss the man that you were back then. This one isn't the Edward that I loved. I don't know who this Edward is. I always told you that I would never say goodbye, but you didn't believe me. You went dark. You let The Darkness win." I kissed a tear that tried to make its way down her cheek as she lifted her hand to my face. "I don't want this, Edward, when I come back for good. Bring my Edward back."
She blinked, and I found myself looking into Bella's eyes again. She lowered her hand away from my face as she turned hers to the side.
"I'm sorry," she mumbled.
I pressed my lips against hers. "It's okay, Bella. Things are going to be different now. You're mine, and I'm never going to let you go." And I wasn't. I had ached for Ara for centuries, and I just had her, but it felt wrong. Yes, I had not been able to protect Ara back then, but I could now. However, I don't want to. I want to protect Bella. Nothing was ever going to hurt Bella, and nobody was ever going to be able to take her away from me. I will not lose this connection to Bella for what was for Ara. But how am I going to explain what just happened to her? I can tell that she feels remorseful, and I won't allow it. I want to experience her, not a shadow of goodbye.
