"She makes her way onto my canvas. Peeking from behind a tree. Sitting in a field of flowers. Reclining on a chaise. Gazing out to sea."

"An unhealthy obsession for me; a dangerous one for her."

"Does her blood taste ripe and sweet, like summer fruit plucked straight from the tree? Or rich and decadent, like warm, melted chocolate?"

I'm loving this Edward. He does everything with so much passion. It's a good thing he can canalize all this obsession, this need through painting. At least for the moment.

I found this story a few days ago and I'm loving it so so much.

"A dream; a pagan princess, dark and lovely. A fervent wish, born of my lonely existence" This has to be one of the most beautiful descriptions of Bella I've ever read.

The part when he was hunting was so well done "We all thirst-just in different ways" The fact that he doesn't look into his prey's eyes, that he asks for forgiveness. Amazing.

Wow. You write so vividly, with such clarity. I am glad I found your story. Thank you for sharing it.

Thank you

Really beautifull story

Oh my word! I absolutely adored this story. One of my friends suggested that I read and at first I was a little surprised, but the more I read the more I truly enjoyed. Thank you for such a wonderful story. There are so many points where I would LOVE to see Isabella's POV..such as when she first met Edward in the library or how she started to piece together his differences. I'll be on the look out!

Way to go differentiating between his "house" and his "home" :)

seems like you've done so much research! The autumnal equinox and the Persian festival, wow. That's perfect. Glad Isabella is moving on from that wretched place.

Very interesting story you have here with just enough detail to give us a scene but not too much as to bore us. I'm captivated!

"But I'm not human, so I sit, frozen in place until dawn breaks." I'm in love with this line. Absolutely beautiful.

Great story. Thanks for writing.

Thanks so much for writing this story. I have truly enjoyed reading it and am so glad you were willing to share your talent and imagination for me and many others to enjoy :)

This was just delicious and lovely. Thank you.

Lovely, a really beautiful story, thank you.

I'm so glad she stopped him from killing the man in the alley, that would have tortured them both.

Lovely, but with a very dark twist at the end.

Beautiful.
