Sex Quotes in Twilight Page 5

Edward: "I have human instincts – they may be buried deep, but they're there." (13.182)

[Edward:] "No," he continued, " I was thinking there was something I wanted to try." And he took my face in his hands again.

He hesitated-not in the normal way, the human way.

Not the way a man might hesitate before he kissed a woman, to gauge her reaction, to see how he could be received. Perhaps he would hesitate to prolong the moment, that ideal moment of anticipation, sometimes better than the kiss itself.

Edward hesitated to test himself, to see if this was safe, to make sure he was still in control of his need.
