Without Bella's love, I can merely exist. Now that I've lost her, I am bound to wander this earth, alone and unchanging for eternity. - Edward, attempting to be noble, leaves again after the Night of Tears. Now Bella must run after him and piece her broken vampire back together. When they reunite, can they begin to open up to each other and through honest conversations, start to build a stronger relationship? Eclipse/AU.

Did you read the Twilight series and wonder what it would be like if SM included more...passion?  Heat?  Lemons of ANY kind?  Ever wanted Bella and Edward to have a steamy meadow scene?  Smexin' in the shiny silver Volvo?  Wished that leg-hitching scene in Eclipse went where you wanted it to?  You're in luck...me, too!  Join me and my wonderfully pervy mind as we go through the books, sprinkling lemon drops along the way. 

AU, OOC, all canon pairings.  Rated for sexual situations and language.

Death, that hath suck'd the honey of thy breath, hath had no power yet upon thy beauty.
Thou art not conquer'd; beauty's ensign yet, is crimson in thy lips and in thy cheeks, and death's pale flag is not advanced there.

Edward's POV in Volterra, just moments before he takes his first steps towards the sunlight. Will include the reunion between Edward and Bella, the conference with the Volturi, 'The Truth' and the vote, all from Edward's perspective.
