Chapter Two: Got Me Walkin'


Edward's POV

You would think that growing up in the same house with the same parents would make my older brother and me pretty similar. But we were complete opposites and sometimes our parents even questioned if we were really brothers.

While Jasper was loud and a total flirt, I was quieter and more reserved when it came to girls. He dated several girls during his high school and college girls and I had a steady girlfriend in high school and college. He was the outgoing Cullen and I was quiet and studied constantly.

Our dad was a businessman and told my brother and I that we would have job security after graduating college. I knew my dad worked hard to build his company, but Jasper took the easy way out. He sailed through college, with good grades, but knowing he had a job no matter what his grades were like. Dad only required us to keep up a GPA of 3.5 or above to get a job and Jasper did that easily.

I was different though. I was ambitious and I wouldn't be happy knowing the reason I had a job was that my father was the boss. My parents never expected me to work for Dad and they were really happy when I told them about my dreams to become a lawyer.

Once I figured out what I wanted to do with my life, I didn't have much of a social life.

Towards the end of undergrad, I spent most weekends studying, which caused the demise of my year and a half relationship with Katie. She told me that I never paid attention to her and I argued that I was trying to get into law school. It really bummed me out, but I didn't have that much time to be upset about it. I had exams to take and applications to fill out.

I breathed a little easier when the acceptance letter from Penn State. Leaving Illinois was really hard, but I had my parents and brother's support so it made going to Pennsylvania a lot easier. I spent three years in Pennsylvania studying, taking tests, going to internships and doing anything I could to ensure I would get a good job after graduating.

I was really happy when a law firm in Chicago contacted me towards the end of law school. It was a smaller firm, but they took on some really big cases in the city. After going through all of my options, I decided this was my best option since it was so close to home. After graduating, we moved my things to an apartment in Chicago and I was starting my new life next Monday.

It was crazy to think that after all my hard work I was finally going to get to practice law in a real courtroom.

But I was also really nervous. This was the first time I was going to really have to prove myself to everyone. I knew I was capable. I wouldn't have passed the bar exam or been offered this job if I wasn't. But it was still nervewracking.

Which is why Jasper dragged me to Vegas for the weekend. He told me I needed to let loose for once in my life and he wasn't going to take no for an answer. I had also just celebrated my twenty-sixth birthday and Jasper said it was practically a crime I hadn't been to Vegas yet. I knew it was pointless to argue with him, but I tried really hard to get out of it.

But after our first day by the pool, I thanked my brother for dragging me here.

"You liked her," Jasper mocked as we got ready to go eat somewhere. I threw my wet towel at him and tried not to blush like a teenage girl. But, he was right. Bella was really cool and she wasn't just set of boobs. I always had a picture in my head of what Vegas would be like. I thought it would be one giant party with everyone drinking all day.

It was refreshing to find Bella reading Jane Austin by the pool this afternoon.

I shrugged. "She was pretty cool."

"She's hot, man."

"What's your fiancee up to tonight?" I asked. I had to give Alice props for being so okay with Jasper coming here. I knew he was faithful and he loved Alice so much it was annoying. But, their wedding was only a few months away and I'm not sure I'd be so okay with my fiance coming to Vegas alone. I thought she would have wanted to come, but she claimed to have too much to do with the wedding and she trusted my brother.

"She's having dinner with her bridesmaids," He smiled as his phone started ringing. "Speaking of Alice," He picked up his phone and left my room. I ran some gel in my hair to try and tame it before pulling on a pair of khaki shorts and a plain t-shirt. When Jasper came back I was just finishing getting my shoes on.

"How's the Mrs?" I teased.

He rolled his eyes and put up his middle finger. "She's great."

"Good to hear."

He smirked. "She said you need to get laid this weekend."

"Thank her for the unwanted advice from me," I sighed. Why was everyone around me so worried about my sex life? I wasn't girl crazy like Jasper was before Alice, but I wasn't celibate or anything. I just had other things on my mind.

"You should try hooking up with Bella."

"She's so young," I shrugged.

"She's twenty-one, grandpa."

I sighed. I didn't really want to have this conversation again. I grabbed my wallet and phone and turned to Jasper. "Can we go now?"

Jasper and I headed down to the hotel restaurant. I looked around for Bella, but after I didn't see her I decided to just enjoy this time with my brother. Ever since moving back, I hadn't seen him that much. I was busy with getting things in my apartment settled and he had been finishing up a big job with Dad at the office.

Once we were finished with dinner, Jasper insisted on leaving the resort to go to some club. I wasn't much of a dancer, but I figured he wanted to go so I would indulge him for once. When we got to the club, it was packed but Jasper somehow got us right in.

When I spotted Bella and Rosalie at one of the tables drinking, I suddenly realized why Jasper was so excited to bring me here. Jasper clapped me on the back and told me to go for it because you only lived once.

"That's the most cliche thing you've ever said to me," I rolled my eyes.

He shrugged. "Who the fuck cares. Go talk to the pretty girl who was obviously into you." He shoved me towards where they were sitting. Bella stood up and I gulped as I took in her appearance. Both of them were wearing extremely short and tight dresses. Bella looked incredible in her dark purple dress and her hair pulled back out of her face.

I could tell by the look on Bella's face that she wasn't expecting this. The dumb smile on my brother and Rosalie's face told me that they'd planned this and they weren't even trying to be smooth about it at all. Jasper took Rosalie over to the bar and left Bella and I alone.

After having a few drinks, we both started to loosen up a bit. I could tell she was drunk but not so drunk that I should feel bad about taking advantage of us. I was having a good time but I would have had a better time if our friends hadn't been staring at us all night long.

When Naughty Girl came on I almost lost my shit. Bella turned around and when she touched me I felt electricity coursing through my body.

"Fuck," I couldn't help myself anymore and I bent down to kiss her. As cliche as it sounded, I saw fireworks when my lips touched hers. It wasn't like any other kiss I'd ever had and I didn't care if that made me sound like a girl. When we finally pulled away from each other she asked if I wanted to leave with her.

I nodded and we made our way over to where Rosalie and Jasper were pretending not to watch us. Bella and Rosalie went to the bathroom and I told my brother I was going to go outside and get us an Uber.

"Don't say anything," I sighed as he followed me outside. "Just let us be."

He laughed. "I wasn't going to say anything, Edward. I was coming out here because I'm going to order myself and Rosalie an Uber and then go to bed."

"Go to bed?" I asked. I looked at my watch and it wasn't that late.

He shrugged. "Maybe I'll go for a swim. But this is Vegas and Alice isn't here and you're going to get laid."

"Which is what you wanted!"

"I know," He chuckled. "I turned and saw both Bella and Rosalie walking out of the club.

"Make sure Rosalie gets back to her room okay." He nodded as I reached out for Bella's hand. We got into the backseat of our Uber and the tension was unreal. I had never wanted to rip off someone's clothes as badly as I did at that moment, which really sucked because we weren't alone.

When we got to the resort, the elevator was full of people so I couldn't push her against the wall like I was planning on doing. The ride up had to be the longest ninety seconds of my life and when we reached our floor, I pulled her out and started kissing her again. We stumbled towards my door and I turned to fish my key out of my pocket and get the door open.

Then she reached her arms around me and gripped my cock.

I bucked my hips forward and cursed under my breath. It had been a while since I'd been with anyone and her hands already felt so good. I finally managed to get my door open and I turned around to kiss her again as I walked back into my room. She kicked the door shut and I pushed her up against it.

"Shit," She whispered as I started tugging at her dress's zipper. I kissed her lips and worked my way down to her neck. She had her arms wrapped around my neck and started pulling her dress down. I smiled at her as I pulled hard enough so that her dress pulled around her ankles. I stepped back a few inches and gulped.

She was fucking perfect. She wasn't wearing a bra and had on a teeny, tiny white thong. She'd gotten some sun this afternoon and her skin was practically glowing.

Apparently, I'd been staring for too long because she crossed her arms over her chest as she tried to cover herself.

"You," I smiled as I leaned down and kissed her. "Are gorgeous."

She smirked. "And you have too many clothes on," I raised my arms and she pulled my shirt over my head. She looked down and licked her lips. "You're so hot."

"Fuck," I whispered as I picked her up. She left her dress on the floor and wrapped her legs around my hips. I walked us over to my bed and threw her down on the bed. I hadn't meant to be so rough, but she seemed to like it so I decided to just go for it.

She sat up and grabbed my belt and started undoing it. She got my belt undone, unbuttoned my shorts and pulled the zipper down. She tugged my shorts down and I stepped back to take my shoes and shorts off. I leaned down and kissed her again, slowly laying her back down on the bed so I was on top of her.

She wrapped her legs around my hips again and used her feet to push my boxers down so I was completely naked. I yanked her thong down her legs and she smiled as I gawked at her again.

Fuck she was so perfect.

"Do you have a condom?" She whispered as I kissed her collar bone and rolled her nipples between my fingers. I nodded but didn't move to get them right away. She was incredible and I didn't want to rush this.

I took my time with her. I played with her nipples until she called out my name in pleasure. I kissed every inch of her body until she was writhing underneath me.

"Edward," She moaned as I sucked on one of her nipples.

"Hmm?" I asked without letting go and the vibration must have felt good because she bucked her hips.

She ran her hands through my messy hair. "Stop teasing me," She begged.

"What do you want?" I asked as I kissed her neck.

"Fuck," She moaned. "I want you to fuck me."

I groaned as I tore the foil wrapper open. She smirked as she took the condom from me and slowly pulled it down over my dick. Her hands felt so good and I couldn't wait to be inside of her. I grabbed both of her hands and pulled them over her head and held them there as I slowly entered.

"Shit," I moaned and she closed her eyes and threw her head back. She was so tight and so wet and I knew she was going to be the death of me. I let go of her arms and gripped her hips. I started pulling out of her slowly and then pushing in and we soon got into an incredible rhythm.

"Edward," She moaned as she bit her lip. I could tell she was close. My pelvis was coming into direct contact with her clit each time I slammed into her and she was practically screaming. "Fuck, I'm going to come."

I grunted as I slammed into her again. I used my thumb to rub her clit and then I felt her starting to contract around me. She screamed my name as she came and dug her nails into my shoulder. I pushed into her a few more times and then spilled into her.

I fell lifeless on top of her and we were both breathing heavily. After a few seconds, I pulled out of her and rolled off of her. I pulled the top sheet over us with shaky hands and sighed.

That was the best sex I'd ever had.

"Holy fuck," She whispered and I couldn't help but laugh. "That was...amazing."

I nodded in agreement, still unable to speak. I removed the condom and grabbed some tissues to clean myself up with. I handed her a few and then I heard my stomach growl. "I'm starving."

"Huh?" She questioned as she rolled onto her side and propped herself up onto her elbow. I turned my head and smiled at her.

"I haven't eaten since dinner and that was a great workout," I shrugged. "Wanna order room service?"

"Uh, okay," She nodded. "What are we going to order?"

I crawled out of bed and walked across the room to the menu. I brought it back and she sat up in bed, letting the sheet fall to her waist. I gulped and I saw her smirking. She knew exactly what she was doing.

"Wanna order a pizza?" I asked as she kissed my shoulder. She nodded as she turned my head and brought her lips to mine in a searing kiss. She wrapped her arms around my neck and pulled me down on top of her.

We went at it again before finally ordering the pizza. It felt like the pizza took forever to be delivered to my room, but we were in the middle of a fucking hot make-out session when it finally did arrive and I groaned as I slid out of bed and pulled on one of the soft hotel robes. I grabbed the food from the waiter, tipped him and then went back to bed with Bella.

I grabbed some napkins and set the pizza in the middle of the bed. We opened the box and each took a few slices. This was new territory for me. I was never one to just bring a random girl home with me so I didn't know what to talk about her. This was obviously just casual, so what was a casual conversation to have?

"When is Jasper getting married?" She asked as she started eating her second slice.

I could talk about my brother's wedding. "November ninth," I told her. "It's going to be a big shindig."

"How big?"

I thought back to the times we sat at the table with Alice and Jasper discussing the guest list. It had changed so many times I wasn't sure I had the right number. "I think they've settled on about four hundred."

She choked on her water. "Four hundred people for one wedding?" She asked. "How do they know that many people?"

"They were both very popular in college and Jasper has all of the people he works with and their families," I explained. "And Alice has a giant family. I think she has fifteen first cousins and then they all have kids."

"Wow," She smiled. "Are you the best man?"

I nodded. "Of course I am."

"Are you going to bring him to Vegas for his bachelor party?" I hadn't had the time to really think of his bachelor party. We wouldn't do it until October, but I should probably start thinking of ideas. "Let me guess you haven't thought of it yet."

"I've been busy," I shrugged. "It's not like they've been engaged for years. They got engaged at the end of my second year of law school."

"I'm not judging you," She sighed. "He'd probably love to come back here with all of his friends."

"Probably."

"Don't you want to come back?" She asked. "Or is this too much for a stick in the mud like you?"

"First of all, I am not a stick in the mud," I rolled my eyes but I couldn't help but smile. "Second of all, will you be here next time?"

"Why?"

"Because you've made this trip much more fun," I winked at her.

She blushed as she finished her pizza. "It wouldn't be much of a bachelor party if I was there, would it?"

I shrugged. "Jasper will be so drunk he wouldn't even know you were there."

"Well, I'll be in school..." She trailed off. "IU. Remember?"

"I remember," I assured her. I took one last bite and moved the box to the top of the dresser. She stretched and then stood up. I looked at her as she crossed the room, completely naked, and wondered what she was doing.

I just hoped she wasn't leaving.

"I feel nasty," She said as she turned her around to look at me. "I want a shower."

And then I understood. I scrambled out of bed and jogged over to her. I put my hands on her hips and kissed the back of her neck. "Need any help?"

It was unbelievable. The hot water cascading down her body. Pushing her up against the cool, tile wall. Fucking her senseless. When we were finished, we could both barely stand. When the water started to run cool, I turned it off and helped her wrap a towel around her. We walked back into the main room and I handed her one of my t-shirts.

I kind of wasn't sure what to do next. We were both exhausted and I wasn't sure we could handle another round. Did I ask if she wanted to watch a movie? Did we cuddle and fall asleep? This was new to me and by the look on her face, it was new to her too.

"You're welcome to stay," I said softly. She smiled at me and sat down on my bed. I bit my lip, trying not to make this awkward. "We could raid the mini fridge."

"That'll cost an arm and a leg," She giggled.

I raised an eyebrow at her. "Jasper's paying for the room. Trust me, he can afford a few sodas and some snacks."

"What's available?" She asked as she got off of the bed and walked to the mini fridge. We each chose and drink and a snack and laid down in my bed. When we were finished eating, she laid her head on my shoulder as I turned on the TV. It didn't take long for me to hear her breathing slow down and when I looked over, she was already sleeping.

I couldn't blame her. I hadn't had that much of a workout in a long time and I followed soon after her.

I woke up the next morning to the sound of a soft rustling. When I opened my eyes, Bella was pulling on her discarded panties from the night before and then she pulled on her dress.

"Morning," I smiled.

She looked over and sheepishly smiled at me. "Sorry, I didn't want to wake you."

"It's okay."

"I have to go," She whispered. "Rosalie's parents will expect me at breakfast. It's one of the only times during the day we see them," She looked at the nightstand. "I wrote you a note. I wasn't going to just bail on you."

She was really sweet. "I believe you."

"Will you be at the pool today?" She asked and I figured I could convince Jasper to head down there later this afternoon.

"I'll bring Jasper down so he and Rosalie can talk about us and how great they are at setting us up with other people."

"Perfect. Rose would want nothing more," She smiled. She grabbed her phone and her room key and walked towards the door. "I'll see you later."

"Bye!" I called as the door shut. Again, I wasn't sure if I should have kissed her goodbye, but I wasn't going to worry about it. I doubted that last night would be the last time I was with her and I was kind of wishing we had more time in Vegas.

But, duty called and I needed some time at home relaxing before I started my new job.

I fell back asleep for another hour before getting up and taking a real shower. By the time I was dressed, I was running late to meet Jasper. I knew he was going to be expecting me to give him details, but I just didn't want to. Bella wasn't some random slut and I wasn't going to talk about her like that.

Jasper was grinning when I got to him at breakfast.

"So?" He asked eagerly before I'd even had a sip of coffee.

I rolled my eyes. "What?"

"You know what, Eddie."

"Don't call me that," I sighed. He did it to annoy me and it always annoyed me.

"How was it?"

I shrugged. "It was great."

"Best sex you've ever had?"

"Jesus, don't you have any kind of filter?" I asked and he shook his head. I swear, Jasper may have been older but he definitely wasn't more mature or wiser. I knew he wouldn't shut up until I gave him some kind of detail so I thought of a respectable way to talk about Bella. "Yes, okay. It was probably the best sex I've ever had."

He grinned. "I had a feeling."

"Ew, Jazz, don't be a perv."

"Lighten up. I'm kidding," I wasn't sure he was telling me the truth. "I just saw the way you two were dancing with each other and you seemed really into her."

"She's a nice girl," I shrugged. "We did more than fuck, you know."

"Oh?"

I sighed. "We talked about your and Alice."

"Why?"

"She was asking about the wedding," I told him. "We didn't talk about you during sex."

"Good. That'd be weird," He chuckled. "Are you going to see her again?"

I shrugged. "Probably. I told her we'd see them at the pool today."

"Good, because I told Rosalie we'd be by."

"You should just ask Rosalie to be your sister," I rolled my eyes. "You're more alike than we are."

"It doesn't work that way, little brother," His face suddenly turned serious. "Are you starting to feel better about your new job?"

"I'm fine, Jasper."

"Edward," He said. "You're nervous as hell, and that's okay. I just want you to remember that this job doesn't define you or your ability as a lawyer."

"I know that."

He shook his head. "I don't think you do. Use this trip as a way to de-stress."

"I know why you dragged me here."

"And don't feel bad about sleeping with someone you're never going to see again," He said. "It's okay to let go and have fun and have great sex."

"Thank you, Mr. Miyagi."

"You think of me as your sex Mr. Miyagi?"

I sighed. "You're ridiculous."

After breakfast, Jasper and I got changed to go down to the pool. The girls were already laying down on their beach towels and I smiled when I saw Bella reading a different book today. We went over and Rosalie smirked at me before going back to the magazine she was reading.

I wondered what Bella had told her.

"Afternoon, ladies," Jasper greeted as he sat down on the chair next to Rosalie. Their strange friendship proved to me that my big brother could make friends with literally anyone.

"Hi, Jasper," Bella smiled as she put her book down. I sat down and she looked at me and winked.

Yep. She'd told Rosalie everything.
