Let Go

Drink up baby down, are you in or are you out?

"Are you sure you want to do this?"

I shifted my eyes away from the mirror where I was painstakingly applying red lipstick to my best friend Alice. She sat on the edge of my bed fidgeting uncomfortably.

"Yes, I'm sure." I recapped the tube of lipstick. "Are you not sure?"

"No, no. I'm sure, I just ….this is so unlike you to …to …to do."

She was stumbling over her words, which was out of character. Alice was very self-assured in everything she did and every word she uttered, so I stopped fluffing my wavy brown hair and turned to face her completely.

"Spill it Alice, just go ahead and get it out now." I leaned back against my vanity dresser, giving her my full attention.

"I just don't want you to regret this." She finally explained, clasping her hands together.

"Regret what exactly?" I wasn't going to let her be vague; if she had issues with this, she needed to be specific.

"Bella!" she exclaimed exasperatedly, as she stood up and began pacing around the room. She was like a tiny tornado, whirling with energy. "You know what! Regret about going to a sex party!"

She whispered the last part, as if saying sex party in full voice was a sin. I wanted to laugh, but I held it in.

"You're right, I do have certain…reservations, but I think that's a good thing."

"Say what?" she looked puzzled. "You aren't sure you want to do this, but you think that's a good thing?"

"No, that's not what I said. I said I had reservations, which just means that I'm not going into this thing blind, I know that I'm about to walk into an environment that is completely foreign to me, and that makes me nervous, which is good, it means I'll be on guard. Besides, you and Jasper are going to be there with me, so if I need to leave, I can get one of you or just let you know I'm leaving. You're my safety nets." I finished smiling and turning back to wipe a bit of smudged eyeliner out of the corner of my eye.

"I just… I can't understand why you want to do something like this." Alice said quietly. "It feels like you're trying to prove something, and you just don't need to, Bella."

I sighed as I walked to the closet and pulled out a pair of black heeled ankle boots.

"I am proving something; to myself. Alice, I'm proving that I'm not dead, that I can do things outside my comfort zone; that I'm willing to try and live." I yanked the boots on and looked into my friend's face with determination.

"I'm not going to let Jacob stop me from living."

"No one is asking you to stop living, Bella, just don't get hurt in the effort to show him what a douche bag he is." Alice said softly.

I shook my head and grabbed my handbag.

"I'm not going to get hurt and I'm not doing this to show him anything. I'm doing this for me. Are you ready?" I asked signaling that I was done with this conversation.

She looked at me for another moment before nodding.

"Alright, let's go get our sex on." I joked shaking my butt as we headed into the living room where Jasper was watching ESPN and waiting for us.

"Whoa," Jasper looked up. "You're planning on having sex tonight, I thought this was just a 'let's go check this out, but not participate' kind of deal."

I shrugged, "It might be, but I'm not going to rule anything out."

Jasper and Alice both look scandalized. I couldn't help but laugh.

"Relax you two. It's going to be fine. If it is a total gross-out-fest, we'll leave. Or if it really bothers you, you can stay home and I'll go.

"No!" they both yelled simultaneously.

"We're not letting you go alone. Who knows what kind of creeps will be there."

Jasper clenched his teeth, "If even one of those assholes puts his hands on you, I'll break his neck."

"Easy Terminator, take a breath. In fact, take a shot of something, you too Alice.

You both are about to drive me crazy." I walked over to the cabinet and grabbed three shot glasses and a bottle of tequila.

"Yeah, let's get liquored up and completely lose common sense before we attend a sex party, that's a great idea." Alice said sarcastically, but still took a glass out of my hand.

"Oh brother, you're not getting "liquored up", you're taking a shot, one shot," I poured the clear liquid into each glass. "Bottoms up."

We clanked the rims of our glasses and tossed it back.

"Bleh! How can you stand that stuff?" Jasper winced after swallowing.

"How can you stand Jagermeister?" I quipped.

"Because it's better than that shit." He muttered.

"Okay, Jasper has started swearing, the alcohol is working, let's get this show on the road." I announced, heading for the door.

Alice rolled her eyes, but took Jasper's hand and followed me outside.

We climbed into Jasper's Audi and headed towards the address I had written down.

I took the moments before we arrived to think about what had led up to this point. The years of being sheltered by my father, the cop, the neat little bubble that I lived in because I was too shy to go outside of it, the months and months I'd allowed Jacob to control my every move once I'd moved out of my parent's house, and ultimately Jacob's betrayal that had eviscerated me. That had saved me. He'd cheated on me and left.

I didn't want to be that girl anymore, who let someone else run her life and hurt her relentlessly, who stayed in the background and watched, who did what she was told. Screw that, I was done being a puppet. Time to grow a backbone. I was tired of missing everything fun in life, and that included sex. Okay, so maybe going to a swinger's party wasn't the best place to go to find good, meaningful sex, but beggars can't be choosers. I wanted to get laid and I want to get laid now, so this was where I was going to start, and like I told Alice and Jasper, if it was just too much for me, we'd leave.

But dang it, I really hoped I'd be getting some tonight, and if that made me a slut, so be it. Jacob left a lot to be desired in the intimacy department, and part of the new me was not allowing that to happen again. I'd dressed that night to entice a man, a real man, that would know how to touch me. I'd left my hair down and flowing so that it reached the middle of my back, I threw on a little bit of bronzer, and black eyeliner, and deep red lipstick. I was trying to channel my inner siren. I paired that with a tight black jersey dress that stopped mid-thigh, and a gun metal grey motorcycle jacket. I finished the whole thing off with black sky high ankle boots and a black clutch. I felt fairly confident, but then again, maybe this was all wrong for a sex party, who knows, I've never been to one before. At least Alice was dressed kind of similarly.

We pulled up in front of a large brick house, if you could call it a house. Mansion was a more succinct term. The road was lined with cars, all of which were foreign and new.

Wow, a snobby sex party. My anxiety just ratcheted up another notch. I took a quiet breath and stepped out of the car, following Alice up to the door, Jasper walked behind me.

Alice reached for the doorbell, but stopped and threw me one last look that screamed, 'are you really, really sure about this?'

I nodded, but before Alice could hit the bell, the front door swung open to reveal the most beautiful blonde woman I had ever seen. Her hair was pulled back in a loose chignon so that a few wisps hung down around her angular face. A skin-tight green dress clung to her body like paint.

"Hello." Her voice was low and cultured, oozing sex appeal.

"Hi, I'm –"

"Alice" the blond cut her off, sweeping her eyes over her and then to me. "And you must be Bella, and Jasper. Please, come in."

She opened the door wider, and stepped aside to allow us through.

What the…? How did she know who we were when I didn't have the slightest clue who she was?

"I would have recognized you three anywhere, Esme described you to a T."

Ah, Esme. I worked with her in a secretarial pool. She was a few years older than me, and totally surprised me one day by leaving a paper on my desk about this party. I'd looked up at her confused.

"Honey, you're floundering. Get out of that coffin and do something crazy." She smiled almost maternally at me and walked away.

I was stunned speechless, Esme was telling me to go to a swinger's party. I could almost hear the theme song from the Twilight Zone playing in the background.

"How do you know Esme?" I asked.

"Long time friend." The blond smiled coyly.

Ooookay, I don't even want to think about the implications of that.

"I'm sorry, I being so rude," she reached out a hand towards me. "I'm Rosalie, but please, call me Rose."

"Nice to meet you." I was definitely uncomfortable, but used every store of willpower to relax my smile and even out my voice.

Rose shook Alice and Jasper's hands too before leading us through the dimly lit entryway. Jasper threw Alice a look that said 'what are we doing here?' Alice shrugged and shifted her eyes back to me. I pretended not to see either one of them.

We walked into a large living room where at least twenty-five people were sitting, standing, or leaning, and chatting away leisurely. I couldn't help the flood of relief that I hadn't waltzed straight into an orgy.

"Please make yourselves at home. There's a bar to your left near the kitchen, and there's food as well. Can I get you something to drink?"

"I'll take a beer, if you don't mind." Jasper lunged for the opportunity of alcohol. Poor boy was not comfortable right now.

"Of course, and for you two?" Rose turned expectantly towards Alice and me.

"Same," Alice replied quickly.

"Actually, I wouldn't mind some red wine." I said.

"Sure, I'll be right back." She started to the kitchen. "Oh! Em, come meet some of Esme's friends, they just arrived. Jasper, Alice and Bella, meet my husband Emmett."

Approaching us was a hulk of a man. He had to be at least 6'4 and wide as a refrigerator.

"If you aren't a football player, you have missed your calling." I said before thinking. To my relief, his face lit with humor and he laughed.

"Only in college, now, I'm afraid I'm just a boring doctor." He put out a hand for me to shake.

"Nice to meet all of you, Rose and I were glad you all could make it, Esme has nothing but good things to say about you."

"Thanks, and thank you for letting us crash your party like this." I said somewhat anxious again. For a sex party, it sure felt …well, G rated.

"Crash anytime, we like meeting new people. In fact, if it makes you feel better, you aren't the only ones here tonight that are new." Emmett smiled charmingly. "I have a buddy from college to finally show up to one of these things, he's around here somewhere, I'll have to track him down and introduce you."

"Here we are." Rose had made her way back with the drinks before I could reply to Emmett. "Beer for you two, and one red wine."

She distributed the drinks.

"Are we talking about Edward?" She asked turning towards her husband who looped a muscular arm around her tiny waist.

"Yes, I was saying that once he came out of whatever corner he's in, we'd have to introduce him to everyone."

Rose shook her head good-naturedly, "He's scared to death that he's entered into Sodom and Gomorrah. Like he's so innocent." She laughed nudging Emmett.

"Yeah, he's fine, I'm sure he'll be joining the party before too long." He grinned, and then turned to Jasper.

"So can I introduce you to some other people? I know it's kind of hard to just jump into parties without knowing anyone."

"Uh, sure," Jasper seemed somewhat at a loss, which was kind of unlike him, and come to think of it, Alice was unusually quiet as well. I'd done most of the talking since we'd arrived, and that was definitely weird.

"Okay come over here, I've got a buddy Alec I'd like you to meet." Emmett headed towards the corner of the living room where a tall blond man stood talking to a voluptuous red head.

Alice shrugged and followed Emmett and Jasper. I stayed with Rosalie.

"I can take you around too, introduce you to a few people if you'd like," she said softly.

"That's alright." I took a sip of my wine. "I think I'd just like to wander around a little."

"Of course. You're welcome to any area of the house, some doors will be shut."

Bingo! Hello sexcapades.

"But if they are unlocked, you are welcome to go inside." She laid a hand on my shoulder, it wasn't inappropriate, yet it felt strangely sexual….or maybe that was just my raging hormones talking. "Don't feel uncomfortable Bella. No one will hurt you here, we wouldn't allow that to happen in our home."

Okay, well she may be a nympho, but she was a kind nympho.

"Thanks Rose, I really appreciate that."

She squeezed my arm and turned to speak to a couple a few feet away from us. I took another swig of wine, as I scanned the room. In fact, after a few more deep drinks, I was almost out of wine. I headed to the bar to get a refill.

"Pinot Noir, please." I told the bartender, and bless the man, he filled my glass to the top.

After thanking him, I walked slowly down a connecting hall, one side of it was a normal wall, but the left side was completely made of glass, opening up to a starry night sky. More people stood outside chatting as well. Maybe it was the wine, or maybe it was seeing that it really did just seem like any other party, but I felt more relaxed.

I kept going through another sitting room, where only a few couples were scattered and talking. Geez, there were people all over this house. I smiled back at the ones that looked up and smiled in greeting, but I kept meandering through the opposite doorway into an empty stairwell.

But oh whoa, not empty, I felt like my eyeballs were going to pop out because right before my very eyes and man and a woman were uh, pleasuring one another with their hands underneath the stairs. The both were moaning, as they fondled each other, totally oblivious to me.

I turned quickly and fled up the steps. Feeling flustered and embarrassed, I looked into the doorway of a bedroom and shit, was he …oh yeah, there was definitely a guy going down on a very naked woman on a bed. Before I could turn away, she turned her head and looked at me. I froze. Oh crap, oh crap.

"Hi," she panted. At which point, the dude, looked up as well.

"Hello." He said with a smirk.

"Don't you dare fucking stop." She scolded him laughingly.

"Care to join us?" He grinned charismatically before he resumed licking between her thighs.

I think my mouth fell open, but I couldn't make words come out, "excuse me" I finally muttered and almost ran down the hall further, stopping to guzzle some wine, geez, what is the matter with you? I chastised myself leaning against the wall. You knew what this was going to be, now stop being a retard, and stop acting like that didn't just turn you on, I tagged on, realizing how much it had made me ache in all the right places.

I sighed and looked over beside me at the closed door, hmmm, what could be behind door number three, I thought anxiously.

I took a breath as thoughts of threesomes danced in my head. I turned the knob opening it to a dark room. Nothing. The room was empty. I laughed at myself for getting so nervous. I flipped on a dim light, and walked to the bed, plopping down unceremoniously. I leaned back on my left hand, and stared at the wall. Take a breath, Swan.

A creak in the floor caused me to swing my gaze quickly to the door, and there stood a tall man with bronze colored hair, his face half shadowed.

"Hi, sorry if I startled you." His voice was low and smooth, almost velvety.

"No," I laughed lightly. "I think I'm just jumpy. Did you, um, need the room?"

I started gathering up my bag and stood up.

"No, no," he stepped more fully into the room, and hello, sex god. "I was going to hide in here from a certain tenacious guest." He didn't smile at his own joke, but rather, seemed serious, intense even.

"Oh, well then, come join the club." I said sitting down again and willing myself not to stare into his deep green 'do me now' eyes.

"Ducking for cover too?" he asked smirking.

"Afraid so, I think I burned my retinas permanently on the way here." I finished off the rest of my wine and realized that I was definitely starting to feel the affects.

"What did you see that made you uncomfortable?" he asked leaning against the wall across from me.

I looked at him strangely for a minute, what did he think I saw, given our location, it was bound to be naked people doing naked things.

"Why don't you want to say it?" He asked in that same deep tone.

"I…" I looked down while turning my empty wineglass in my hands. "I think it's pretty obvious what I saw." I said finally.

"Yes, it is." He acquiesced. "But I'm wondering why you can't say the words."

"Because, I'm….not used to it." I blurted out, my face feeling hot, hopefully the dimness of the room disguised it.

"To sex?" he clarified.

"To sex being so open." Geez, why was he pressing this?

"You think it should be closed off?"

"No, yes…I don't know."

"Well, why are you here, if you weren't at least interested in sexuality in, to use your words, an open environment?" He crossed his arms and tilted his head, waiting for my answer. I studied him for a minute, made myself study him. His confidence was strangely appealing, and it made me want to run to him and away from him at the same time.

"Why do you want to know?" I asked, never pulling my eyes from his.

His mouth curved minutely in approval.

"Because you interest me."

"I've interested you in the few minutes that you've been talking to me?" I asked skeptically.

"No you interested me when you walked through the door downstairs and made me want you."

My stomach jumped and shimmered with desire.

"You followed me up here?"

"I was going to talk to you in the living room, but I got waylaid by a certain person who doesn't take no for an answer. I lost you for a minute, but yes, I did follow you up here. If you want me to leave, I will."

Amazing, he was saying amazing things to me. No one said, did things like that because of me.

"You're very beautiful." He told me softly.

I stood up, not sure if it was to run out of the room or to run to him. I looked over through the window into the night and took a minute to think, really think about what I was going to do. This is why I came isn't it? And he was really doing it for me. I almost laughed at the perfection of it all.

I looked back at him, he was watching me intently. I walked to stand in front him, setting my wine glass down on the little table next to the lamp. I brushed my body up against his as I leaned over and closed the door.

"Tell me this means you're going to let me touch you." He spoke in that same soft voice.

I looked up at him through my eyelashes and nodded as I ran my hands up his chest. His mouth turned up in that smirk that turned me on and made me want to scold him for being an asshole.

I stood on my toes to take his mouth with mine. But he stopped me by gripping my hips and flipping us around so that I was against the wall and he stood over me.

"Before I touch, before I even kiss you, I want you to do something for me." His face an inch from mine, his breath that smelled like cinnamon fluttered across my cheek.

"What?" I was hypnotized by his green, green eyes.

"Tell me what you saw before you came in here."

"Huh?" I pulled my head back, rapping it lightly against the wall behind me.

"Tell me what you saw." He didn't even blink.

"Why?" I was completely confused.

"Because we are going do things to each other that you've never done, and I'm going to make you feel things that will drive you crazy, but before we do, you need to be comfortable enough with sexuality to at least talk about it."

His quiet voice was setting my body on fire, so yeah, I definitely agreed that when he started touching me I was going to go up in flames, but why was it so damn important that I tell him about the intimacies of others.

He smiled knowingly at me.

"You think I'm just being perverted. I promise I'm not. Yeah it's going to be a bonus hearing you talk about it, but if you can't even discuss sex with me, how can you open yourself up enough to really enjoy it?"

"You want to have a discussion? Now?" I asked incredulously.

He chuckled as he brushed his body against mine suggestively, and hello little guy, or should I say big guy. My eyes widened.

"Just think of it as foreplay." He nuzzled my neck softly.

I let out a shaky breath, and felt my knees go weak.

Okay, okay, I could do this, hell, I was going to do this because he was turning me on five bazillion times more than Jacob ever had.

"I saw…I…saw," I could barely think, let alone talk.

"Yes?" he mumbled against my neck.

"Shit." I blew out my breath and felt him laugh quietly.

"You can do it baby, take your time, we've got all night."

His hot breath gave me goose bumps.

"I saw two people underneath the stairs." I finally got out.

"What were they doing?" He messaged my waist.

"T-touching each other." I stuttered as he began taking off my jacket.

"How were they touching each other?" He tossed my jacket across the room.

"They had their hands down each other's pants."

I tilted my head back as he began kissing my neck, oh sweet heavens above.

"Say it baby, what was she touching? You can do it, it's just me here."

"His, his dick."

"Good girl, what was he touching?" he sucked lightly on my collarbone.

"Her pussy." I said a little more confidently.

"That's right baby. What else did you see?" he slowly pulled me forward, walking backwards toward the bed. He looked me in the eye with that crazy sexy intensity, and I'm not ashamed to say that I almost came right there.

"I saw a man going down on a woman?" For some reason it came out as a question.

"Are you sure that's what you saw?" he asked with humor in his voice.

"Yes. I'm sure." I said as he sat down on the edge of the bed, and I stood in front of him.

"How do you know for sure?" he reached up behind me and pulled the zipper down the back of my dress.

"Kind of hard to miss." I whispered.

He stopped pulling my zipper down and laughed lightly.

"Okay, fair enough. Did it turn you on?" he finished unzipping me.

"Yes." I hiked my skirt up and straddled him in one swift movement.

"Whoa." He breathed, surprised at my movement.

"What are you doing?"

"Moving things along." I replied working the buttons open on his shirt.

He laughed again, but there was desire in his eyes.

"I think it's only fair for you to tell me what you saw." I fueled my confidence and rocked lightly against him.

His eyes glazed with pleasure for a second. "Aren't you a surprise?" he said gruffly.

"I'm trying honey."

"Good girl." He said again. "Alright, let's be fair then."

"I saw a man licking his way up a woman's body, taking his time, stopping to give special attention to her pussy, giving it long wet strokes, making her writhe in pleasure, and then stopping again to suck on her nipples, flicking his tongue over each tip, while rubbing her clit and making her come."

My hands, that had been deftly unbuttoning his shirt dropped limply to my side as his words washed over me. The man was the devil himself. His every breath was making me ache with need.

"Seems like you saw a lot." I said weakly.

Again, he smiled triumphantly at me.

"That was all I saw," he pulled the straps of my dress down, making it pool at my hips and leaving my breasts covered only with a strapless lace bra. "because I wanted to find you."

He ran a hand lightly over my heart, just above the swell of my breast and up to the back of my neck.

"You are so fucking beautiful." He said so firmly, it was almost threatening.

I shook my head, no, I'd never really been beautiful. Cute? Sure, but beautiful, no.

"You don't believe me?" He asked pulling my mouth down to his, and every thought flew out of my head as his lips, hot satin, kissed mine.

He pulled back a fraction of an inch, "I'll just have to show you."

He wrapped his arms around me and molded our bodies together.

I moaned at the contact. He was so solid and firm against me.

I felt my bra loosen and fall to the floor, and then his hands were on me, running up and down my sides, making me arch against him, begging for them. Finally he cupped my breasts, flicking his thumbs over my nipples, making me light-headed and giddy.

"More" I said against his mouth.

He flipped me over so that I was lying on the bed and he yanked my dress down my hips, pulling my panties with it. He pulled my boots off quickly, and somehow got himself naked before I could blink.

He crawled up over me and began kissing my neck again. The man should get an award for the way he could kiss, it felt like, well nothing I'd ever felt before.

"You're naked." Was what brilliantly came out of my mouth.

He laughed, his chest rumbling against mine.

"That's the idea baby." He kissed his way to my breasts and took a nipple in his mouth, sucking and nipping it with his teeth.

"I guess it is." I arched into his mouth. "Fuck!"

"You like that?" he asked against me. "Does it feel good?"

"Oh….yeah."

His hand slid up my thigh and ran lightly over my pussy.

"You're so wet baby." He looked into my eyes as he slowly pushed two fingers inside of me.

And hello, green eyes, I just got a little bit wetter.

I ran a hand through that thick coppery hair and his eyes softened for a second before they grew darker with desire as I wrapped my hand around his hardened length.

"Hello." I said quietly.

He smirked and rubbed small circles with his thumb over my clit.

"Oh…" I groaned.

He leaned in and kissed me before slithering down my body and settling between my legs.

"Wha, whoa, what are you-?"

"Shhh, it's okay," he murmured soothingly. "Relax baby, I just need to…."

He licked me lightly, and then firmly.

Too much, too much, too much, was all I could think and then shit, I coming, hard.

"Oh my gah…" I moaned.

"That's it," he murmured against me. "Come for me, let it go."

I strained, riding out the waves of pleasure.

He crawled back up my boneless body as I lay there spent. He laid next to me, running hand up and down my stomach and chest. His hand was warm and tender.

"Wow." I smiled turning my head towards him.

He ran a hand through my hair. "So fucking beautiful." He said again.

I rolled towards him and pulled him on top of me.

"You're turn darling." I kissed him feverishly and tilted my hips toward him in an obvious invitation.

He groaned and again started kissing his way down my body.

What the?

"Hey-" I started.

"Shhh." He shushed me again.

When he got far enough down the bed, his feet hit the floor and his grabbed my ankle, pulling me down as well, only when my feet touch the floor he turned us towards the dresser with a large mirror hanging over it.

"What do you see?" He breathed behind me into my ear.

I saw two very naked, very turned on people.

"I see …sex." I said honestly.

He ran his hands over my hips and stomach, making me want him with an unrivaled need.

"I see the sexiest woman I've ever met, and the lucky bastard who gets to touch her and taste her."

My eyelids drooped and my mouth fell open slightly as I felt another wave of desire slap through me.

"See, sexy as hell." He moved my hair to the side and sucked my neck. "Lean down baby."

Eager to feel him inside of me, I put my hands on the dresser and heard the crinkle and zip of a wrapper.

"Mmmm" he ran his hands over my ass, before pulling my hips back and thrusting inside of me.

"You feel so amazing." He told me kissing my back.

His voice sounded funny, like he was straining.

"You're so tight baby."

"Don't stop, please, don't stop." I pushed my ass against, eliciting another moan.

"I won't last long if you keep…" He tried

"I don't care, I'll come with you, it feels too good. Please." I was almost begging and well, I didn't care.

"Please what baby?" The devil was back and he was taunting me.

"Don't stop."

He was sliding in and out of me with a slow mind numbing speed.

"Don't stop what?"

I groaned in frustration and need.

"Just say it baby, please, I just want to hear you say it." He ran a hand down to rub me in front.

"Fuck me, please, fuck me harder." I gritted out.

He moaned with pleasure, "thank you."

He began thrusting deeply and before I could even catch my breath, I was soaring into another orgasm so strong I thought I was going to faint, he was hitting me at an angle that was definitely oh so right.

"Oh baby" I fisted my hands and felt him come inside of me.

When he pulled out of me, I thought I might just fall into a heap of bliss on the floor, but he carried me to the bed and gathered me into his arms.

"That's was unfuckingbelievable." He whispered in my ear.

I laughed, I couldn't help it. I was too perfect to care.

"Oh yeah it was."

We laid there in silence, in wonderful, relaxed, just had the very best sex of my life silence for minutes, hours, days, I don't know, we just laid there together.

"So I was thinking," he said finally. "Maybe we should-"

"Bella!"

"Oh shit!" I scrambled up as I heard Alice bellowing outside in the hallway. I grabbed my dress and yanked it back on, pulling the zipper up while working my feet back into my boots, I threw my jacket back on and lunged for my purse.

"Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit." I swore trying to straighten my wild sex hair back into submission. I looked in the mirror to wipe my smudged makeup off, when I saw him watching me intently.

Without another thought, I ran and jumped on him and kissed him with all I had.

"Thank you." I told him sincerely, and kissed him again. "Thank you, thank you, thank you."

I jumped back up and made for the door.

"Wait," he tried to catch me as I opened the door, throwing him one last look, he was gorgeous with his rumpled hair, bright green eyes, and solidly muscled chest, that I'd failed to notice earlier in my sex haze.

"Bella!" Alice ran to me, seeing me through the opened door. I quickly shut it behind me so that she wouldn't see him undressed.

"Are you okay?" She asked frantically. "We've been looking and looking for you! Jasper was about to call in the National Guard!"

"I'm fine, really." I said reassuringly.

"What in the world…Oh my go-"

"Stop" I told her before she could finish. "Yes, I did, no you can't see him, and I'll tell you all about it, but not tonight." I started down the stairs, making sure I kept my eyes in front of me, last time I looked around I saw things that I'll never forget.

"Uhhh." For once Alice was actually speechless.

"Okay."

I turned around and looked at her questioningly.

"Okay." She said again nodding.

"Okay" I nodded back, thankful for her compliance.

When we reached the main living room again, I saw Jasper pacing nervously.

"Hey." I said nonchalantly.

His head snapped up, and he rushed toward me.

"Where have you been?" He pulled me into his arms. "We couldn't find you and…" His voice trailed off as he leaned in and sniffed me.

"Why do you smell like-"

"Jasper! Not now." Alice, thankfully interceded.

Guess I smelled like eau du 'get it on'. And well, sue me, I didn't care.

"Oh Bella, I'm so glad you're still here." Rosalie walked up to us. "I wanted to introduce you to Emmett's friend. It seems he's finally come out of his hole, now that everyone's mostly gone of course."

She laughed, as Emmett and oh. My. Sweet. Heavens. Mr. Sex of my lifetime walked up.

I swallowed audibly, as he stared into my eyes, and suddenly I felt naked all over again.

"Bella, this is Edward." Emmett said as way of introduction. Too little too late there buddy, we've met…intimately.

"It's nice to meet you Bella." Edward stuck his hand out and shook mine, placing his other hand on top of mine. It was warm and oh yeah, I remembered where those hands had been less then ten minutes ago. My thoughts were mirrored in his eyes, and I knew exactly what he was thinking of at that moment.

"Nice to meet you too Edward." I tried to smile normally.

"I hope it's not too forward of me to tell you what a beautiful woman you are." He smiled mischievously. Forward my ass, it was this side of an hour ago that he was doing me from behind. Well alright, two can play at this game.

"Not too forward at all, thank you for the compliment, and I have to say Edward, you have very nice hands, makes a girl wonder." I smirked back.

Edward chuckled and nodded approvingly.

Jasper cleared his throat uncomfortably. Okay, so maybe it was too forward for them.

"I uh, think maybe we should head out." Alice said, tilting her head questioningly at me. Her eyes reading 'you bet your sweet ass I was details in detail missy'.

"Right, Emmett, Rosalie," I said releasing Edward's hand, "thank you for having us."

"Anytime," Rosalie looked between Edward and I and somehow, I knew that she knew exactly what was going on. "Please come back soon."

Jasper gave Edward the evil eye as we walked outside and made our way to the car.

"Bella! Wait!"

I turned to see Edward jogging towards me.

"Here." He put a piece of paper in my hand.

"What's this?" I turned it over, but he covered it with his hand.

"It's my number, I hope you'll call me sometime, maybe we can, get to know each other."

"Okay, yeah." I said trying to hide the thrill inside of me.

"Okay," he echoed and began walking backwards away from the car. "See you."

He lifted his hand in the quintessential man wave.

"Definitely."

I climbed into Jasper's Audi and opened the piece of paper in my hand as Jasper drove away. Written inside in spidery script was a phone number and a note that read:

I can still taste you, and now that I have a name to put with the flavor, I hope you'll let me taste you again.

Edward

I felt my body wanting him again, with a ferocity that almost scared me.

Jacob who?

A/N- Okay, so I originally posted this a looooong time ago as a one shot, but decided to extend it, however, there were a few details that I needed to change so everything would make sense, I thought I caught them, but I missed a couple so I finally went back and fixed them. Sorry for the discrepancies! And thank you everyone who's given me a heads up on any I overlooked. I don't have a beta, (risky, I know) so all mistakes are strictly mine. Thanks for reading and sending me the feedback!
