Edward's already asleep – spent after our lovemaking.
Tired as I am, I can't sleep. I keep tossing and turning, my mind unable to shut down.
Moonlight bathes him.
I itch to touch, but I don't.
Instead, I etch every inch of him into memory, afraid this is my last chance to do so.
Minutes turn to hours as they slip by.
He turns, frowning as he sees me.
He mumbles, "C'mere, baby," and pulls me to him.
Kissing my hair, he whispers, "It'll be okay, Jasper... sleep now."
Wrapped in his arms, I close my eyes, sleep finally overtaking me.
