《1 twilight暮色》第113章


〃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。
