WHO: Juniper and Edward
WHAT: Playing doctor
WHEN: Midday, Day Five
WHERE: Juniper's Room/Outside
RATING: PG-13
STATUS: Complete

Juniper was in pain. Physical, mental, emotional...Was there another version? Spiritual? Yeah, she was that too. At least there was so much going through her head that was completely unrelated to what had happened to her that Edward wouldn't get wind of it. Edward. If he found out what had gone on that morning...She didn't want to think about it. He'd be completely uncontrollable. As if she could control him to begin with. But anyway, as it was, all she could think about was how badly her hand hurt, peppered with the occasional flash of irritation at the fact that the object of Edward's desire was in the City now too. Not only did that suck for Juniper, but it was going to suck for the Bella girl as well, because Juniper was definitely not letting her within a hundred meters of Edward. The last thing she wanted to witness was a blood bath, and she didn't want Edward to have to deal with the guilt of that afterward. Not to mention the fact that Jareth would rip him apart...

Anyway, after Edward promised to come over and look at her hand, Juniper tried to get dressed. Tried being the operative word. The attempt at getting the pair of jeans that had been provided on was abandoned, as she couldn't get her fingers to move enough to button them. Thankfully, she found a loose, elastic-wasted peasant skirt in the closet, and so Juniper was able to get that on with one hand, so that was good. A white fitted t-shirt, on the other hand, proved to be too much for her. She couldn't get her injured hand through the arm hole, and so was stuck with her shirt halfway on, cutting across her body in a diagonal line, with one arm and her head in place, but the rest of the fabric stuck on her opposite shoulder. She looked like she'd tried to put on a toga upside down.

Juniper fought with her clothes and then kicked her dresser, which only hurt her toes, again, and then fell face down on her bed and just laid there. She heard Edward's mind approaching and sighed. Fair warning, I'm not completely decent, but I can't change that, so you're just going to have to deal, she warned him, not bothering to get up. Door's unlocked.

Well it was good to have warning. Edward had dropped everything and moved quickly back towards Juniper's room intending on doing what he could for her and lecturing her to be more careful. He let the door swing open carefully, though his thoughts were fraught with worry for her and offered her a gentle smile. "How's the patient?"

He stepped into the room and assessed the situation with her hand. It would probably be easier to set the bones and splint her hand and then try and dress her. He had made a stop back by the TARDIS long enough to see if the Doctor had any kind of medical supplies - he had - and now Edward had his hands full of a first aid kit and materials for a splint. He sat down next to the injured girl and took her broken and swollen hand between his two icy once. "It's swollen so I'm just going to hold your hand here for a bit until the swelling goes down before I try and set it. I have things to make a splint but I'd like to try and find some kind of brace or see if we can't somehow make a cast for your hand depending on how bad it is. I think I'm going to want an x-ray of it later. We're lucky I ran into someone who may be able to help us there. So, how did you hurt it?"

Juniper moaned in answer to Edward's question, feeling decidedly sorry for herself. Her first two knuckles were fractured, so she didn't know how much a cast would help. It was more about immobilizing it so it could heal on its own, really. But whatever, Edward was there, and she was feeling better just because of that. Well, a little bit.

"You're impossible," she grumbled, shifting to press her hip against his, needing the comfort of contact with him. "I'll be alright, I just need to not move it for the rest of my life," she joked lamely, looking at her multicoloured hand as if it had betrayed her.

She looked up at him when he asked how she'd hurt it and rolled her eyes. "I punched a wall." True, sort of, and she made sure to keep her mind away from how it actually happened. "At least I know how to punch properly, right?" she deadpanned. "Where'd you go this morning?" she asked, getting the focus off of herself for a minute.

Edward frowned and realized he was maybe being a little over protective but at the same time didn't exactly trust her not to hurt it worse. He sighed and shrugged. The splint would do for now but he still wanted the x-ray to be safe. That could be done later, however.

It would have been more natural for the memory to flash through her thoughts but it didn't and he didn't sense a lie exactly so he simply raised an eyebrow. "And did this wall do something particularly dastardly to offend you?" He smiled again but frowned when he smelled blood. He peeked at her hand and looked it over for a scratch or a cut but found it just bruised. The bruising would make the scent of blood stronger but not this potent. "Were you hurt anywhere else?"

He was distracted temporarily by her question. "I went to investigate my room, one of your 'potatoes' showed up here this morning with a key and a journal for me and then I went to check on my car and ran into a familiar face. I left you a note . . ." he glanced at the still folded piece of paper by the bed. " . . . which I see you never found."

"It insulted my intelligence," Juniper said automatically, and then realised that she sounded mildly insane. So she laughed it off. "I saw that your Bella was here," she said pointedly, raising an eyebrow at him. And really, that was enough for her to have gotten a bit peeved, so it worked.

She looked confused at his question and shook her head. "I don't think so..." she trailed off, trying to remember.

"I found it, I just got distracted, what with punching the wall and not being able to get myself dressed," she said, sitting up and gesturing to the wreck her room had become in the attempt to find something she was able to get on. "Buttons are beyond me, as is getting a shirt on, apparently," she said, tugging on said shirt, trying to cover herself as best as she could.

Edward raised an eyebrow at her and laughed but just for a moment before his expression changed drastically to one of misery. As annoyed as he was he'd thought in a way that his being here was something of a blessing. There was no chance for him to kill the Swan girl if he was trapped in some parallel universe but now . . . he sighed. It seemed he was doomed to struggle with his self control no matter where he was. Perhaps he was being tested.

"Let's splint that as best we can and then we'll see if we can't get your shirt on you properly." He released her hand and set about setting her fingers properly and getting them splinted. This really was Carlisle's area of expertise but Edward had assisted him in the past and had more than enough experience to do a better job than most doctor's would have even with the materials he had on hand. Once her hand was set and he had her properly dressed he was distracted again by the blood.

He followed the scent to a spot on her neck where two fresh puncture wounds stood staring at him. He froze absolutely still and for a moment looked like a statue. He blocked her immediately out of his mind and then spoke very softly. "You punched a wall?"

Juniper was kind of a wuss when it came to pain. Well, that was something of an understatement. While Edward set her fingers, Juniper buried her face in her pillow to keep her screams down to a minimum, and then sat back up with a tear streaked face, and gave him a little smile. After all, it wasn't his fault that it had hurt so bad. She had been the one to lose her temper in the first place, right? "Thanks," she said quietly, wiping off her face with the back of her good hand and scrubbing under her nose, taking a couple of steadying breaths.

"Shit." Juniper muttered, and then got up. "Now Edward, calm down," she begged, putting herself between him and the door, sort of. "I didn't want to tell you because I knew you'd be pissed, and it wasn't like it was a voluntary donation or anything," she said, and then winced. Like that made it so much better right? "But he's done with me. At least, I'm pretty sure he's done, given that he was wondering whether or not I was worth the trouble after I punched him. Please just...don't do anything...please," she begged.

Edward fought with his anger and beat down the impulse to just run past her, find the offensive villian and expose him to the bright light of day. The thought of watching him rolling around trying to beat off flames was slightly satisfying and the monster inside of Edward smiled. It wasn't just human blood the monster craved but any form of violence. Edward was more than willing to let it have it's way at the moment but the consequences he knew would be worse than the reward.

"I don't appreciate being lied to where your safety is concerned," Edward told her in a fairly cold voice. Cold because if he let out any hint of emotion he would lose that tenuous grasp he had on his temper and go out looking for a fight. "This will not happen again," he informed her he gestured to the bite mark on her neck so that she wouldn't confuse his words and think he was just being a tyrant. "I don't care if you think he's done with you, you told me that he wouldn't harm you because you were too valuable to him and that he needed you but clearly your assumptions there were incorrect. I'm not leaving you alone after dark again."

Her eyes filled with tears at the tone of his voice. "I know, and I'm sorry. I was just trying to protect you," she said with a little catch in her voice, trying to control the flood that wanted to start up. "And well, it was my fault, about my hand anyway. I shouldn't have let him get to me. I was just so pissed, Edward. He got to me when I was asleep, my defenses were down and...I didn't realise what was happening until he was done," she said, coming clean and gesturing to her neck.

She took a couple of steps toward him, looking fairly pathetic, and twisted her fingers around each other, looking down at her feet. "Please don't be cross with me. I didn't ask for it, and the only reason I didn't tell you was because I knew you'd be angry. He knows everything about you now. Everything about us," she said, her jaw tightening. "I just...please tell me you forgive me," she begged, the tears finally breaking their barriers and rolling down her cheeks. "Please Edward..."

Edward sighed and wrapped his arms around her waist. He pressed his face to her stomach and let his hands run soothingly down her back. He was worried about letting her into his head just now, afraid that the rage would frighten her, but he was afraid of what not doing so would do to her as well. So he took the chance. The rage was blistering, all encompassing, violent even, but none of it directed at her.

"I'm not angry with you, Juniper. I'm angry at him for abusing you and angry at myself for being so foolish as to leave you, vulnerable while you were sleeping. I said I would protect you from him and I failed within hours of making the promise." He shut her out to spare her from the anger, and pulled her gently down into his lap. "I won't leave you alone again," he told her sounding more than a little miserable. He was furious that he'd allowed her to be taken, hurt when he should have been protecting her. He had forgotten this vampire had abilities that he didn't. He foolishly believe that she was safe. It was his fault.

Her hand went into his hair when he wrapped his arms around her, and Juniper froze for a second when she got wind of what he was thinking, what he wanted to do. "Edward..." she muttered miserably, leaning down to press her face against the top of his head. "Please don't. I couldn't bear it if you were hurt just because of me."

Shifting in his lap, Juniper pet his face with her good hand and kissed his forehead, trying to soothe him. "It wasn't your fault, you didn't know. I didn't even realise I was so vulnerable, I've never been faced with that kind of thing before. And who knows what would have happened if you'd tried to stop me," she pointed out. The mind was such a delicate thing, had he tried to pull her out of it, who knew what might have happened? "This isn't your fault. It's his, so stop blaming yourself." She didn't need to see into his mind to know that he was taking the blame for it.

"Now we know. And I'm fine. I will be fine," she assured him, cupping his face in her hand. "Please smile. You promised you'd kiss it better," she reminded him with a little grin, trying to make him feel better.

Edward wasn't precisely in the mood to be comforted just then, he knew he didn't deserve it. Still he allowed her to pet him and when she reminded him of his promise he offered her a weak smile and brought her down to kiss her gently. He was still holding her like she was made of glass though and that wasn't likely to change any time soon. She seemed to very fragile to him just now. "I promise not to go picking any fights, Juniper but at this point I think my speaking to him is unavoidable, especially if he now knows everything about us, everything I've told you." He was glad he hadn't shown her any of his weaknesses and that he still had a surprise or two up his sleeve.

That was a meeting he was not fully looking forward to though he knew that if he didn't approach the other vampire it would be mistaken for weakness. He needed to put his foot down or it was likely to be a problem later. The part of him that was very much influenced by his time spent with Carlisle still hoped that despite his anger and the unpleasantness of the situation they could come to some kind of understanding amicably.

She returned his kiss and then looked at him with nothing but worry and misery written all over her face. "He's so unpredictable, Edward," she sighed, closing her eyes. Really, after hitting him, she was lucky to be alive, no-kill rule or not. "Please be careful," she whispered, knowing that there wasn't much she could do to stop him at this point.

Feeling even more sorry for herself than she already had been, Juniper climbed out of his lap and lay face down on the bed. She hated the way he barely held her, hated the look in his eyes when he'd figured it out, hated the fact that he was blocking her so completely. She longed for the night before, when their time together had been filled with laughter and happiness, despite the situation they'd found themselves in.

Turning her face into the pillow, Juniper let her tears flow silently, sopped up by the down of the pillow, and wished that she'd never been born. She always screwed things up, and hurt the people she loved.

Edward sighed when he saw how his behavior was affecting the girl he cared for. He kicked off his shoes and crawled over behind her. His hand went into her hair as it had the night before and his lips easily found her cheek. "I'm sorry I'm upsetting you so much. It's not my intention though I suppose that it's inevitable. For that I apologize."

He tried to think of how he might make this up to her and when something finally came to mind it made him smile. "Juniper, sweetheart, I think I might have a way to cheer you up, if you'll allow me." He pulled her over onto her back and smiled down at her, much happier now that he'd thought of this. "I made you a promise yesterday about something we could do on the first sunny day. Do you remember?"

"It's not your fault," Juniper mumbled against the pillow, still pouting. "It's mine. I'm weak and stupid and human," she spat. If she weren't, she wouldn't be having this problem. She'd be able to fight Armand off herself, not just be a weak little nothing. Not that she really fancied the idea of being a vampire, but it would solve a hell of a lot of problems.

Juniper's lip jutted out when he rolled her to her back and she looked up at him with her lips all twisted up and her arms tight over her chest. She didn't want to feel better. She wanted to die. Preferably in a drawn-out, painful fashion. That's what she deserved. "Yeah, you said you'd show me about the sun," she allowed, letting out a sigh, and trying to not look even mildly interested.

"I like you just the way you are. It's not your fault, if anyone's it's Armand's but I will speak to him and explain that you're mine and that he's to leave you alone. Now that he knows you're spoken for I'm sure everything will be fine." No, actually he wasn't but he was hoping that it would be so it was close enough.

He smiled at her pout and leaned down to kiss it away. "Come outside with me my little injured sparrow. It's a beautiful day and I want to see what the sun does to your lovely red curls." He kissed her again starting at her lips but moving across her face and neck and let his eyelashes tickle her as he moved. He slipped his arms underneath her legs and lifted her easily out of the bed.

It was once he reached the door that he realized there was no real way to hide the sun's effects until just the right moment as there wasn't enough shade. "Close your eyes," he told her and blocked her out of his head. "I want this to surprise you."

She really didn't like the idea of Edward going to speak to Armand, but there wasn't a lot she could do about it. She also wasn't stupid enough to suggest that she come with him, as she knew that Edward would never allow it, and she'd be far too much of a distraction for the both of them. "I hope you're right," she mumbled.

"No, stop it...I don't want to feel better..." Juniper whined, trying to bat him away. By the time he was done kissing her, she was smiling at him against her will, and she let out a little squeak as she was lifted into his arms. "You're a wanker," she said with a decided nod, laying her head on his shoulder and pressing a kiss to his neck.

Juniper closed her eyes obediently, and then poked at him with her mind. "Ugh. Cheater," she laughed quietly, burying her face in Edward's neck and letting out a sigh. "I can walk, you know..."

"I know you can, but it's faster this way." Edward slid her around to his back and told her to hold on tight before taking off at full speed once he was certain that she was secure. He ran until he reached the forest and darted around until he found a sunny and relatively private spot for them to spend time in. He slowed down gradually to keep from giving her a head rush and then once he was stopped he placed her gently on the ground.

"Don't open until I tell you too," he told her and then stepped a few feet away. Once he was exactly where he wanted to be and bathed in light he unbuttoned his shirt and let it fall to the ground. Might as well let her have the full effect. "Alright you can open them."

Standing there in the middle of a small clearing Edward shimmered as if millions of tiny prisms were reflecting the light of the sun through him. Rainbows scattered across the area and the effect of the pure white light he radiated was damn near blinding to look at but impossible not to.

Juniper let out a partially terrified, partially thrilled scream when he ran off with her in his arms. It was odd, moving at that speed, and knowing she was, but not feeling jostled or anything as Edward ran. He was truly remarkable. She wobbled when he put her down, but caught her balance and kept her hands over her eyes to keep herself from cheating.

"Bugger me..." Juniper breathed after opening her eyes and finding Edward. Not only was he shirtless, but he was shining. Shimmering. Sparkling. Juniper was drawn to him like a moth to a flame, walking in a daze for the second time that day, until she was standing right in front of him.

"You're beautiful," she whispered, reaching up to run her fingertips along his chest. The light coming from him went out in the shadow of her hand, and Juniper shook her head a little bit. "I understand the bit about only coming out at night now," she chuckled quietly. Then she reached up to cup his face with her good hand and went up on her toes to kiss him. She couldn't help it. He was shiny and she was a girl.

Edward was monitoring her thoughts for her reaction as she opened her eyes and what he found there amused him. He opened his arms to her and returned the kiss happily enough. He was happy the effect the sun had on him put her in a better mood. Sure, Edward didn't really enjoy it but Alice and Tanya had never seemed to take issue with it and he could see how a girl might see it. After all they sometimes bought body glitter to try and gain a similar if much more subtle effect.

"So, you're not running away in terror. I take it this pleases you?" He raised an eyebrow at her and smiled crookedly. He gathered her injured hand in his and brought it to his cool lips. "I thought perhaps that it would, hmm, brighten your mood so to speak." He knew he was being cheesy but he was trying to amuse her so he didn't really mind or wince at his silly pun.

Juniper laughed and rolled her eyes. "You're a hundred years old and you're still cheesy," she teased, leaning against him happily. "You'd think that you'd get better jokes in all that time."

"It's fantastic, Edward," she assured him, going back to stroking his chest and looking rather boggled at the whole thing. His arms, his face, his neck, his collarbone...they all got investigated, and Juniper dropped her hand to his hip to look up at him and had a thought. An iron curtain went down around her thoughts as she giggled, as red as a tomato, hiding her face in Edward's chest. "Don't even ask, there's no way in hell I'm telling you," she snickered, shaking against him in her mirth.

Taking a step back, Juniper took a couple of deep breaths and then looked at Edward, her eyes still dancing merrily. Then she lost it again, bent at the waist laughing. "I'm sorry..."

"One-hundred and four actually," he raised an eyebrow at her once she started giggling hysterically and shut him out. He had a fairly good idea he was going to hate whatever it is that she was thinking but he had to know. "No, you can't carry on like this and then not tell me. Tell me what you're thinking."

He pouted when she sobered and then burst out laughing again. "Juniper!" He looked at her slightly frustrated. "Oh would you tell me already?" Really anything he was thinking had to be worse anyway but the way she was going on was making him slightly paranoid. "I feel like I'm the butt of some joke that I'm missing." He probed at her mind trying to get through but no such luck. "Please?"

She snickered and snorted and eventually just fell right over in the grass, clutching her sides and trying to keep herself breathing at the same time. Juniper knew she really had to calm down if she was going to keep from really pissing him off, but it was easier said than done, especially when he stood there, going on glittering like that.

"Tell you what," she panted, trying to get ahold of herself and to shove that thought deep in the gutter of her brain where it had come from. "I'll tell you, but only when/if/after I find out whether or not it's true," she giggled, reaching out her hand to him, intending on pulling him down on the grass with her. "It's not about you, not really. It's more...a modern brain. Trust me, luv. It just wouldn't compute. But there's nothing wrong with you. You're stunning."

Edward glowered at her antics and eyed the shadows wondering if she wasn't just making fun of him at this point. If he'd known she was just going to howl at him like a banshee then he'd have waited for another time. As it was, this was all relatively embarrassing and he was beginning to feel like a bit of a side show freak.

"I don't believe you. I'm perfectly modern, I'd understand just fine. Tell me what you're laughing at." He didn't sit and actually had to resist the urge to cross his arms like a petulant child. This wasn't even remotely amusing to him, in fact the more confused he became the more he wanted to know and more cranky and sensitive he began to feel.

Alright, well that got her to stop laughing, that was for sure. Sitting up in the grass, Juniper sighed and rolled her eyes at his pouting. "Fine, I'll tell you, but I don't want to see any faces or hear any thoughts about how inappropriate I am," she warned, grinning at him and pointing. Because really, anything that she'd thought before this was tame in comparison.

Juniper bit her lip, snickered a little bit, and then controlled herself, taking a deep breath and focusing on a spot on his forehead instead of his eyes. "Does all of you shine, Edward?" she asked, holding her breath to keep herself from laughing again.

Well that was the last thing Edward had been expecting out of her. He pulled a face so surprised and offended it was nearly comical and for once he didn't have a superior or smooth response. He was too surprised at what she'd asked.

"Juniper! I can't believe you'd . . . that's just . . ." he stared at her for a moment agape and then did the only thing he could do. He blinked at her a few times and then pulled the waistband of his pants out away from his hips and glanced down into where the sun shone into his pants and was immediately reflected back out at him by all the shimmering skin now exposed.

"Hmm." He pulled a face and glanced back up at her and then, he couldn't help it, he laughed as he let the pants fall back where they belonged. "Well that answers that question. I never really bothered or had reason to check before. It's not as if I run around sparkling in the nude." He grinned and then sat back down beside her. "You really have a very dirty mind, you know."

Juniper pointed at him, ready to start lecturing and reminding him that she'd warned him, but then Edward looked, and she lost her mind again laughing. "You mean to tell me in eighty-some years of being a vampire, you were never curious?" she giggled, falling over again and clutching her sides.

She just simply couldn't believe it. And again, couldn't get herself to stop laughing, though now, it was curtain free, and mostly at the fact that it had never crossed Edward's mind to check things out before. It certainly wouldn't have taken Juniper long to get curious about it all.

"I warned you!" she panted, rolling to look up at him, starting to come down from the giggles again. "I told you you didn't want to know!"

"I told you I don't think about that kind of thing. Well alright I suppose I knew that it did but I've never actually looked to be sure." He laughed. "It didn't matter before. Of course now that I know that all of me does glitter for absolute certain, sex is most definitely out of the question. At least out of direct sunlight." He made a face. Good god, he could just imagine dropping his pants and then she'd never stop giggling long enough to do anything serious. He groaned at the mental image of her face and shook his head.

"Okay, stop. You're corrupting me. I've always been nothing but an absolute gentleman and now you're making me think about things I shouldn't be thinking about." He laughed and held out his arms for her. "Come here and behave yourself."

She giggled. "Maybe just once. Not the first time," she wheedled, grinning up at him. "I'm fascinated by the sparkles, Edward, I don't think you'd end up on the short end of the line on that one," she assured him, shaking her head a little bit.

Sitting up, Juniper controlled herself and then scooted into his lap, laying her head on his shoulder and letting out a sigh. "Okay, I'll be good, I promise," she smiled, fighting off a smirk that would probably give her away. Then she started tracing his collarbone with her fingers again, and leaned up to brush her lips across his. "You're not upset, are you?"

Edward shook his head. He hadn't anticipated how much trouble he was going to be in when he decided to get involved with the fiery little girl at his side. He grinned because despite his Victorian sentiments, he rather enjoyed her company and the effect that she had on him.

He met her lips and nuzzled her once she moved away. "Do I look upset?" He asked her with a lopsided grin. He let down his shields so she could see what he was thinking and know that everything was fine. He pulled her down into his arms in the grass and pressed another kiss to her lips and brushed back her hair. "I worry that you're a little afraid of me. Of upsetting me. I don't want you to be someone else because you're afraid that who you are will upset me."

Juniper smiled. "No, you don't," she admitted, and let out a little groan as they shifted, ending up with her on top of him. Not bad for a second date. "I'm not afraid of you!" she said quickly, before he had much of a chance to amend his statement.

Then she settled, and propped herself up with one elbow so that she wasn't crushing him, and ran the fingers of her other hand through his hair. "I'm not, Edward. But there are compromises to be made in every relationship, and well, we've just run into a couple, is all," she shrugged, smiling at him. "I'm perfectly happy, I promise."

"Happy," she said again, kissing him softly. "Content." A kiss to his jawline. "And fascinated." Then she drew her lips along his neck before burying her face in his shoulder and letting out a little giggle. "And addicted, apparently. Sorry."

"I just hate that I made you cry earlier. I can't stand that I'm able to hurt you like that." It had practically broken his heart in fact. "Here you were blaming yourself for something that wasn't your fault and all because I was angry." He shook his head and looked somewhat sad. "Just promise me you won't ever hold back. I didn't fall in love with you because of something that I wanted you to be. I want you you are. One hundred percent, completely."

Edward pulled her in closer and held her a bit more firmly before kissing her. It was still gentle but more exploratory than his previous kisses had been. He ran his tongue across her bottom lip and then pulled it between his own briefly before letting it go. "You taste good," he told her with a slightly playful smile. "I wonder what other parts of you taste like."

Juniper rolled half off of him and onto her side while he spoke, her brow furrowed and her head propped up on her good hand. Then her eyes misted over and a slow smile formed on her lips. "I love you too," she whispered, and really, she might not have heard anything else he'd said.

And right on cue, he was kissing her, and Juniper curled around him automatically, clinging to his strong, perfect body, running her fingers gently through his hair. She groaned a little against his mouth as he played with her lip and then grinned as he did. "You're more than welcome to find out," she muttered, leaning in to kiss him again, hooking a leg around the back of his, pulling him closer.

Edward smiled down at her and warred with the impulse to take her up on her offer. He was feeling fairly good today and he'd hunted before going to his room so his eyes glowed a light honey-gold and the impulse to bite was nearly non-exsistant. Deciding that he was feeling brave, he ducked his head down to the side of her neck where there were no bite marks and breathed in the warm scent of her skin.

His hand which had been resting against her hip traveled over to her stomach and under the edge of her shirt. He ran his cool fingers down across her soft flesh and let it move slightly upward making icy trails across her bare skin. Edward's tongue darted out of his mouth and he swiped it across the pulsing vein of her jugular, finding the taste there sweet and tempting but still able to resist his darker impulses.

Curious, of course, Juniper rode out the battle within him as he considered his options and the possible danger of it all, smiling softly and trailing her fingers along his arm, waiting him out. She wasn't going to push him, of course, but a little encouragement never hurt anyone, right?

His touch was cool, but it was so warm out that Juniper hardly shivered at all, at least, for that reason, and she shifted to her back a bit, giving him better access, and getting herself comfortable, knowing she wasn't supposed to move. It was hard though, particularly when he ran his tongue across her skin, and Juniper's chest flexed, her back arching, and she let out a little moan, her fingers gripping his arm, trying to pull him closer.

Edward smiled at the encouragement and moved his mouth along to the dip below her ear. Here her scent was stronger and he knew it was due to the glands just below the skin that emitted pheromones that humans couldn't really smell but he had no trouble detecting. He smiled against her warm skin and breathed deeply. The scent made him moan, very, very softly.

The hand that wasn't caressing her stomach slid around her and moved up to her back. He was so caught up in her warmth and her scent and the sweetness of her skin that he had stopped paying attention to the actions of his hands that were moving entirely on instinct. When his hand reached the back of her bra his fingers brushed at the obstruction trying to get it out of the way. The fabric tore slightly under his too-strong fingers and suddenly the warm smooth expanse of her back was free to him to stroke and pet.

His breath on her skin, his hands on her body, his skin against her own...She was a goner. How he actually expected her to hold still, Juniper didn't know. It would be like asking a starving man to not fall to on a buffet.

Then her bra ripped, along with her control. Really the fact that she was one handed was a blessing, otherwise Edward wouldn't have known what had hit him. Even as it was, she gripped a handful of his hair and pulled his mouth to hers, kissing him fiercely, pressing herself against him. She let go of his hair as her tongue found its way into his mouth and ran it down his chest, feeling every bit she could under her fingers, letting out a guttural moan.

Edward moved with her, that same sense of lust rising in him again but this time mingled with something softer making it harder to resist. He kissed her back fiercely, no doubt bruising her mouth with the force of his kisses and pressed his hips into her causing him to growl.

As soon as the onslaught began it was over. Edward shot away from her and scrambled up into the closest tree out of sight. He curled up on a branch and put his head between his knees, trying to force himself to regain his control before he went back down and just ravished the girl. He had hunted the night before but that didn't stop the bloodlust from returning at the excitement brought on by his other desires.

Juniper kissed him back with everything she had, though her lips did nothing to stand up to his, and she really was going to be swollen by the end of it all.

Okay, maybe not. Juniper found herself very suddenly, very much alone. Irrationally, she was afraid. No, not from making out with a vampire, but because he'd just abandoned her like that, leaving her all by herself in a strange place that she didn't know how to get out of. Sitting up, Juniper looked around for a second and then got to her feet, brushing the grass off of her skirt and straightening her blouse. There was nothing she could do about her bra, however, so she just crossed her arms over her chest, which she was going to end up doing anyway, and sighed. "I'm sorry," she whispered, her voice breaking even then, hoping he'd hear her, wherever he'd gone. Then she started off through the trees, trying to find something familiar. Preferably Edward.

"I'm right here, Juniper," Edward called, seeing her begin to wander off. "Don't go anywhere I'm just . . . you didn't do anything wrong, and I'm not upset." His voice was a little ragged and his breathing course as he tried to flush out the fire that had so nearly ended their little experiment in even less desirable ways. "I just need a moment . . . to get myself back under control. Everything's okay."

He didn't want her thinking he'd abandoned her, and he certainly didn't want her wandering around the woods scared and alone. He sat in the tree a few more moments and then finally dropped back down to the ground beside her with an apologetic smile. "I'm sorry about that. I had a moment that was very close, and I was afraid I was going to hurt you. I apologize if I frightened you."

She stopped when she heard his voice and looked around, but the trees were hiding him quite effectively. "I did," she argued with thin air. "I didn't hold still," she joked lamely, wiping her eyes so that they'd be clear by the time he got down there. Even though she knew why he'd left, the rejection still stung, meant or not.

When Edward dropped down next to her, Juniper screamed, jumped, and fell over, as she'd been looking in the complete other direction, and he'd scared the crap out of her. Not bothering to pick herself up out of the bracken, she just grabbed a handful of leaves and threw them at him. "Don't scare me like that!" she scolded, letting out a ragged and humorless laugh.

Edward smiled at her apologetically and offered her a hand off the ground. Once he had her up he pulled her into his arms and kissed her soundly. "Don't apologize to me for reacting as any normal person would. I love you and you're beautiful and wonderful and the fact that I can't get enough of you is no one's fault but my own. I'm sorry I scared you again." He pulled her into a hug and pet her hair, glad that he could hold her safely again without feeling the urge to bite.

"I'm stronger than I thought, we'll just have to take this slowly is all. I need to be more prepared for your reactions and focus more on my own. You're very . . . addicting. Once I start touching you it's very difficult for me to stop," he explained with a bit of a sheepish, but very boyish grin.

Juniper squeaked in surprise against his mouth, but managed to return the kiss there toward the end of it, laughing a bit as he cuddled her to his chest. "I think you're just going to have to find some rope, Edward," she chuckled, pressing a kiss to his collarbone, snuggling against him. "Because as much as I want to be able to promise you that I won't attack you again...I'm really not sure that I can," she admitted, coloring up a bit, which, Juniper realised, he could probably feel against his skin.

She laughed softly at his admission, and picked her head up to look at him. "I noticed," she said with a roll of her eyes. "What do you have against bras, eh?" she asked, her shoulders shaking with mirth. "If you can handle it," she prefaced, biting her lip. "Do me a favour and tie this together?" she asked, turning her back to him and lifting up her shirt.

"It was in the way," Edward told her sheepishly, more than a little embarrassed at his actions. He was a little astonished he'd been so out of control that he had not only damaged her clothing but hadn't noticed doing it. It didn't say a whole lot for his merit. Usually he was such a gentleman too.

He nodded and tied the bra back together. "I'd offer to replace it but I don't know where I could get such a thing here." He hoped the closets provided clothing because he'd only had a small suitcase full of things in his car.

"Let's go back. I promised you I'd play for you and that seems like a nice relaxing thing we can do." He smiled at her knowing she'd probably like to stay here longer, but he'd had more than enough to tempt him for the time being. There would be time for more later.

Seeing the embarrassment etched all over his face, Juniper smirked. "It's alright. There's a sewing kit in my room, I can fix it easily enough. That, and I'm pretty sure there was another in my underthings drawer."

Then she hooked her hand around the back of Edward's neck and pulled him down to her, brushing the tip of her nose against his own. "Besides, it was kind of sexy," she admitted huskily, and then let him go.

And just as quick as that, she was bounding off to fetch his shirt for him, passing it over once she was back. "That sounds lovely. One request though...Can we stop and pick up some food? I know you don't eat, but it just occurred to me that I haven't eaten anything since tea yesterday. No wonder my defenses were down..." she added on in a mumble, mostly to herself.

Edward looked somewhat embarrassed at her 'praise', but smiled all the same. He was upset at himself for his lack of control but also and mostly a bit embarrassed by it. Here he was trying to be romantic and he'd practically mauled her. Way to be a gentleman, Edward, he chastised himself but ended up laughing a bit awkwardly. No one was hurt so he supposed it could be taken as funny.

Edward laughed and nodded. "Of course we'll feed you. It's even more important now that you're injured and have lost blood. You need to rebuild your strength and blood supply." He slipped into his shirt and buttoned it up quickly then kissed her on the forehead. "Shall we?"

Juniper, of course, heard that, and poked him in the stomach. "Be nice to yourself," she warned. "It was plenty romantic, and the only thing I'd change would be you runnin' off there at the end," she assured him, reaching up to cup his cheek, running her thumb along his skin. "You love me," she reminded him. "And hearing that, it made the day."

Nodding, Juniper slid her fingers through his, and once they were out of the woods, stopped at one of the stands to get herself something to eat before going up to Edward's room to snack and hear him play the piano. All in all, it was the most perfect day ever, even if it had started out less than wonderfully.
