Author's Notes on Chapter Four:

Dark: So, here's the fourth chapter. Warning: Senseless smut and shameless humor. This was fun to write for us, and delightful to look over again. Hope you enjoy!


Edward was damn grumpy the next morning. He could smell Emmett masturbating, and see the images in his head, and he could smell Ember's arousal and see her dreams. It had him very huffy.

Ember remembered to take a shower in the morning, and made sure she was all cleaned up. She certainly didn't need anyone finding out what she'd been dreaming the night before... Though they probably already knew.

Emmett did, but he didn't say anything. He was, however, inwardly radiating smugness, enough so the empath of the family would certainly notice.

Jasper sighed, shaking his head. What was he going to do with his brother...? He did, however, keep his thoughts to himself. He didn't want Emmett beating on him so early in the day.

Esme had breakfast waiting for Ember, of course. Emmett occasionally cooked, but Esme just seemed to be delighted to have another child to dote on.

Ember smiled brightly, and thanked her for making breakfast. She was glad that Esme and Emmett did most of the cooking...she was never very good at it.

After breakfast was over, they had a whole day to do whatever they wanted. Alice, however, wanted to go shopping.

Ember was confused. "What...do you need?" she asked, trying to figure out what Alice could possibly need on such short notice.

"Clothing, silly!" Alice said brightly. "You need something more to wear!" And Alice just wanted an excuse to dress Ember up.

She grinned weakly, knowing there was no way out of this one. "Alright...But...nothing too expensive."

"Yay! We'll go to Port Angeles, then. All the good stores are there," she decided.

She nodded again. "I'll go get my wallet," she said, standing up and clearing all of her dishes.

"No need~" Alice sang, grabbing Ember's hand. "Edward," she called, "take care of the dishes, okay?"

Edward waved a hand in acknowledgment.

Ember groaned mentally, and went with Alice, knowing she was never going to get away. This was going to be interesting.

Alice pulled her off to the garage, grabbing her keys and wallet along the way. She headed for the Volvo; Edward wouldn't mind too much if she borrowed it, anyway.

All Ember could do was go with the flow, literally. "Wait...we're taking Edwards Car?" she said, blinking. "Will he mind?"

"Nope!" Alice said brightly. "And if he does, he can take a different car," she said easily as she got into the driver's seat.

She chuckled, and let Alice do her thing. She really did have a hard time resisting her, as she was the sister Ember had never had.

Alice waited until Ember was in the car, then started the engine, and they were off to Port Angeles. She turned the radio on at some point, tuning it to something retro pop-like, and then settling back with a happy sigh. She drove just as fast as Edward, though, and the drive to Port Angeles would be cut in half.

Ember took the chance to prepare herself. She was sure that she was going to end up in something girly...and maybe she'd be able to pick something up to impress Emmett with. Most of her things were old and worn...Time for some new things.

Soon enough, they were in Port Angeles, and Alice was pulling up to one of the stores. "Let's start here!" she decided excitedly, cutting the engine and hopping out.

Ember nodded, and followed Alice's lead. Alice did know best. You couldn't argue with her fashion sense.

Alice led -- or more of, dragged -- Ember in, leading her over to the women's clothes section, and instantly started to go through things, until she'd selected whole outfits for Ember, and then shooed her off to the dressing room with them.

Ember went, knowing that it would only be worse if she fought her. She'd tried once...and Alice proceeded to force her into the clothing chosen for her. She tried on each outfit, and showed them to Alice, just so she could see.

Alice approved of a few, and the others were tossed aside, to be replaced by others for Ember to try on.

She tried them all. From jeans and shirts to tank tops and skirts. It was rather fun, really.

Alice eventually finished, and purchased everything she deemed to be something Ember should wear. Then she turned to Ember. "Is there anything specific you wanna look for?"

She thought a moment. "I...kinda need new undergarments...."

"Like bras and panties?" Alice asked bluntly, tilting her head.

She nodded, turning red. "Yeah...I've had mine for a while..."

"Sure!" Alice agreed brightly, and then grabbed Ember's hand, leading her out. "There's a Victoria's Secret down this way," she said, pointing down the street. "We can walk."

She turned redder. "A-Alice...I don't think I need fancy underwear...Just...underwear..."

Alice shrugged. "You can get 'just underwear' at Victoria's Secret, too," she said simply, grinning back at Ember.

She nodded, still feeling hesitant. "Alright...but nothing lacy. I don't have any use for anything like that."

Alice looked back at Ember with a grin. "You probably will later," she sing-songed.

She turned redder, if that was even possible, and went with her, knowing that her future held lacy matching panties and bras...and quite possibly other things she didn't want to know about.

Alice hummed to herself as she tugged Ember along, dragging her into Victoria's Secret, so they could look for 'normal' underwear, and then 'sexy' underwear.

She was fine until they got to the sexy underwear. "Alice... are you SURE I'm going to need these?" she said, looking at a particularly racy pair of underwear. "I've never seen the point in dental floss..."

"You will~ and you'll want a lot! Emmett accidentally rips a lot of panties," Alice reported lightly.

She was sure at this point she was inventing new shades of red with her face...and possibly the rest of her body as well. Was she really going to need all of this that soon...?

Alice hummed to herself as she picked up a few others pairs of lingerie for Ember, and handed them to the black-haired girl as she went off to look for more.

She held them gently in her hands, afraid of ripping the delicate material. She'd never really worn anything like this...and she figured as soon as they got home, she would have to start getting used to them.

Alice hummed to herself, and once they had built up a fair amount of panties, bras, and lingerie, she took the garments off and paid for them, and then added the bag to the others. "Anything else?" she asked Ember as they headed out.

She shook her head, her face finally clear of any embarrassment from earlier. She was bound and determined to conquer all of this, and firmly held the bags in her hand. "I think that's everything."

"Alright," Alice said lightly. They'd been there for quite a while, already. "Ready to head back, then? Or do you want to get some lunch? Are you hungry?"

"I'm fine," Ember responded. "I can just eat when we get home. I'm not that hungry yet."

"Okay, then!" Alice said brightly, and then started skipping down the sidewalk, back to the Volvo.

Ember followed after her, watching the young female quietly. She was glad that she couldn't read minds, because her head was spinning right now.

Alice unlocked the Volvo when they reached it, and she hopped into the driver's seat, waiting for Ember to get in before starting the engine and driving off.

She did, and as they drove home, Ember made conversation with her. It was just random stuff, but it helped pass the time, and helped Ember get to know Alice a bit better.

Alice was quite happy to share. She liked talking, and after being given an opportunity, she was happy to indulge in it.

Ember was glad as well. She was aware that neither of them were normal, but it seemed normal for them to just talk about girl things.

Alice was quite happy to have girl-talk with Ember. It had been quite a while since she'd had the opportunity, and she was ready to indulge in it. Of course, after that, they got to the topic of boyfriends, and Alice avidly asked after Emmett.

Ember blushed. "I... really don't know what to say. We've only... Kissed," She stuttered out, hoping that would satisfy Alice. That really was all there was to it.

"Mmhmm," Alice hummed. "Wasn't what it smelled like last night," she teased, grinning at Ember.

She was practically glowing at this point. "Swear to god we didn't do anything..." She said, biting her lip. "I just... had a good dream, that's all. And as for Emmett, I don't know what he did, but I probably only had a small part in it."

"Oh, I'm sure you had a big part in it," Alice said lightly, smirking faintly as she turned her eyes back to the road.

"Pfft. It's not like I meant to do anything...he's a perv...I'm a perv..." she said, smirking slightly. "All I did was kiss him"

Alice snorted. "Do you know how good humans smell to us? It's like...sex for our noses," she explained with a grin. "You don't need to do much."

Ember snorted in response. "Yeah. So...arousal must be like...an orgasm, right?"

"Basically, yeah," Alice agreed with a grin. "So just know that whenever you give off that scent, all of our noses are having mini-orgasms. And we can smell each time you get aroused."

Ember nodded. "Then... I'm just going to have to take control of my dreams!" She stated, smiling brightly. "Or sleep outside... Which I'd rather not do."

Alice hummed. "Yeah, and Edward can see your dreams, by the way."

"Pfft...Poor Abbi...Wonder if he's tried reading her yet...?" she muttered out. If he had, he'd know. And was probably in denial.

"He's tried. But he actually has to try to do it," she admitted with a soft grin. "Edward is... very good at denying things."

Ember nodded. "Good. Less work for the poor girl...maybe," she said, looking out the window. "She doesn't know the secret. I've been good about keeping it."

Alice smiled softly. "We're grateful for that," she said, a bit more serious now. "We would have to leave if word got out."

She nodded. "I know that. It's also her job to figure it out…If she ever suspects anything at all," Ember said, looking over at Alice. "I didn't have to do as much, but I still had a lot to learn."

Alice hummed. "We'll teach you whatever you wanna know," she promised warmly.

She nodded. "I know. I've already learned a lot."

"Good," Alice said with a bright smile. Soon enough, they were approaching the mansion, and Alice pulled the car into one of the garages.

Ember, once the car was stopped and turned off, gathered up all of her bags. "Time to get used to new clothes," She said, holding the bags.

"Mmhmm," Alice agreed brightly as she bounced out of the car. "I'm sure some of them will take some getting used to," she teased as they headed for the house.

She blushed, but giggled. "Probably... But I'll live till then," she said, grinning.

"Yup! Not for too long, though," Alice sang as she bounced back to the house.

She giggled once more, and headed to her room to change. Some of the clothes actually looked comfy, and she wanted to try them on again.

Alice went off to return Edward's key to him, receiving a small glare from the bronze-haired vampire, and then went off to find Jasper.

Jasper felt Edward's annoyance, and couldn't help but chuckle. His Alice was stirring up trouble, no doubt about that.

Alice was quite pleased with that, humming to herself as she pounced on her lover from behind. She was in a very good mood.

He allowed her to "catch" him off guard, and smiled. "What kinds of mischief have you been up to today?" he asked, sensing her good mood.

"Buying racy underwear," Alice replied lightly, kissing Jasper's cheek.

He chuckled, and kissed hers back. "I didn't think I'd destroyed that many pairs already."

"Not for me! For Ember," she giggled, playing with a strand of Jasper's hair.

"Ah. Now...why would she need them...? Is Emmett really that serious about her, or did you see someone else in her future?" he asked, running a hand through her short hair.

Alice leaned into the touch with a soft grin. "I saw them in the future. She'll be needing them," she decided easily.

He nodded. "Thank you for the warning, Alice. Should I be soundproofing our walls as well?"

"If you like," she said with a nod. "Though...the sounds will get much worse in a little longer," she purred.

He tilted his head. "Care to share, or are you trying to surprise me?"

"Mm, I can't tell yet! It would ruin the surprise," she giggled.

He nodded. "Well...I think Edward will have the most problems. Maybe I should soundproof his walls."

"That would be a good idea," Alice agreed with a grin, nuzzling Jasper's neck. "But what about you? How are you doing?" she asked, a bit more serious now. She knew it must be difficult to have a human so close.

"I'm fine. She's ignorable most of the time. The thought of Emmett trying to rip my head off is enough to keep me away from her," he responded, turning to kiss her softly. He was glad she was worried about him.

Alice nodded, returning the kiss gently. "Just tell me if you get any urges, okay?" she said seriously. She trusted her lover wouldn't act on any such urges, but she wanted to make sure he didn't.

Jasper nodded. "I will, I promise," he said, pulling her close. He'd done well so far, though, he knew he was going to have to go out hunting again in a few days, just to be on the safe side.

Alice smiled and slid around to rest against his chest, smiling warmly as she kissed his cheek, quite happy to be so close to Jasper.

He smiled, and kissed the top of her head. He was very content to have Alice right where she was.

Alice gave soft, quiet hums as she kissed along his jaw, nuzzling him and inhaling his scent with a happy, purr-like sigh.

He smiled. "I am glad you had fun though. You haven't had a shopping partner in a while now."

Alice hummed in agreement. "Rose was much too difficult to shop with, and Esme only likes plain clothes," she pouted.

He nodded, smiling. "So, did you get her anything that'll knock him off his feet?"

"Oooh, quite a few things!" Alice giggled.

He grinned. "I can't wait to see the expression on his face...or rather, feel it. Hopefully it makes him stop thinking for a moment or two. Then I can pick on him."

Alice laughed warmly, and playfully nipped Jasper's nose. "Play nice."

Jasper grinned. "I've been playing nice for a while now. I'm allowed to be mean occasionally, too." He kissed her nose back, and then her lips.

Alice hummed as she returned the kiss. "Yes, I suppose so," she agreed, leaning in for another kiss. "Of course...you could always rub in the fact that he's not actually getting anything other than his hand right now..." she suggested with a smirk.

He grinned. "I could, but that's really not playing fair..." he said, kissing her again. "And I don't think it'll be lasting much longer."

Alice hummed in agreement. "That's true," she sighed, pouting a little. "And I wanted to rub it in, too," she teased.

He chuckled. "Well...you can. I'll be hiding in here, not facing his wrath." He said, grinning. "Not that he'd hurt you."

"Of course he wouldn't," Alice said lightly, grinning warmly at Jasper. "I know his future~"

He chuckled. "Now you have me curious...but I'll be patient. Just tell me this; is it good?"

"Mm, very," Alice smirked. "Edward will throw a fit, of course."

"Edward would throw a fit if any other guy at the school hit on that redhead he's into, but won't admit that he's into her," he said, shaking his head. "Or if anyone other than Emmett messed with Ember. I think he's starting to see her as a little sister."

Alice hummed. "I think we all are," she decided with a warm grin.

He nodded and smiled. "She's a good kid. A little rough around the edges, but she means well."

Alice nodded. "A bit like all of us, really."

He nodded, and kissed her once more. "I'm giving her and Emmett two weeks."

"Mm, good guess," Alice said with a grin.

"Less?" he said, raising an eyebrow. "I'd be surprised...And yet...No I wouldn't."

"Week and a half," she replied lightly, giggling behind her hand.

"Emmett's going to make the final move," he said, grinning. "My gut's telling me he's going to get sick of his hand really fast."

Alice hummed in agreement. "After years of sex with Rosalie, that hand is probably looking pretty lonely."

Jasper laughed. "Doesn't mean he's going to love on it for very long."

"Of course not," she said with a wide smile. "Besides...he's going to find that Ember is much better than Rose."

He nodded, and smiled. "I think anyone would be better than Rose...Not to speak ill of the dead...but..."

"She was a cold-hearted bitch," Alice said brightly.

He nodded, trying not to laugh. "She was." He kissed her, smiling.

"Ember's a much better sister," Alice decided, kissing Jasper again.

He nodded in response. "Much, much better," he agreed.

"She's much more fun to shop with!" Alice decided brightly.

"I wish I could have seen that," Jasper replied, smiling. "Can't wait to see what you picked."

"I would be quite unhappy if you saw a bunch of what I bought for her," she decided, wrinkling her nose at Jasper.

"Hey, only meant the stuff that the lot of us are supposed to see...the actual clothing," he said, kissing her wrinkled nose. "Not the underwear."

"Thank you," Alice said with a smile.

He smiled, and kissed her once more, persuasively. He was trying to say something without actually saying it, and he was pretty sure she'd catch on.

Alice smirked against Jasper's lips, curling her arms around his neck with a happy purr.

He smirked against hers, and listened to her purr, one of his favorite noises.

Alice let her fingers curl in Jasper's blonde hair, her arms holding firmly as she hopped up, locking her legs around Jasper's hips. She knew he was strong enough to hold her, anyway.

He chuckled, and picked her up, keeping her legs around him. His eyes searched quickly for the first flat surface they could find, and in this case, it happened to be a wall.

Alice purred when she found her back pressed up against the nearest wall, grinning at him as she kissed him again, though it was deeper, and little more fevered.

Taking that as his cue, he took his time, kissing back, and then moving on to her neck and collarbone. His hands gently explored her, as he wasn't the one to be rough with his lover.

Alice tilted her head back with a soft, approving sigh, still gently carding her fingers through his blonde hair. He was always sweet and tender -- aside from the occasional...hungry frenzy he fell into; Alice had been left with bruises those times.

Right now wasn't one of those times though, and Jasper was glad of that. He hated the loss of control that tended to accompany them. He worked his way downward, still taking his time and enjoying Alice's body, like he always did.

Alice loosened her grip on Jasper's hips to let him move more. She reached out, grabbing onto the nearest, relatively-sturdy object to keep herself up against the wall.

Her clothing was quickly shed by Jasper's nimble fingers, and he began to get her ready for the activities to come. He wanted to make sure it was comfortable for her, though he knew every spot to touch and how to touch it.

Alice was always delighted by how well Jasper knew her, by how he could read her so well. His empathic abilities probably helped with that, but Alice didn't mind -- she was actually rather grateful for it.

He was glad for his abilities as well. It meant he'd know if he'd accidentally hurt her or not.

"You can go faster, Jazz," she purred, looking down at him with half-lidded eyes.

He nodded, and picked up the tempo considerably. Know that it was impossible for them to tire helped as well. And as soon as she was ready, he stood up, and undressed himself.

Alice watched appreciatively. Jasper had an exquisite body, and it was Alice's favorite moment to feel it pressed up against herself. She reached out with her legs, pulling him against her once he was as naked as she. She gasped at the delightful electricity she felt from her lover's skin pressed against her own.

He grinned and kissed her passionately. He took her into his embrace and held her there for a moment before moving her, so that he could push into her. "You ready, love?" He asked, kissing her jaw line softly.

"Mm," Alice hummed. "Quite ready," she purred, wiggling her hips enough to press down against Jasper.

Jasper groaned and moved into her. He quickly found a tempo, and stuck with it. It wasn't too fast, but it wasn't horribly slow either. To him, it was just right, and he hoped that it was right for her as well.

Alice was pleased with it, rolling her hips into each thrust with moans of delight. Jasper would occasionally brush against her g-spot, and her hips would buck harder, her voice rising in volume.

He moaned when she vocalized something good, and tried to repeat it whenever he could. Soon he got the feeling that he wouldn't be able to last much longer, and picked up the pace a little, moving his own hips in such a way that he was hitting Alice's g-spot more often, hoping to bring her over the edge at the same time.

Alice's cries grew to something close to shrieks, her hands moving from where they were curled on the supports to Jasper's hair, her fingers tightening in the blonde strands as her back arched. She found her climax mere moments later, shouting her lover's name and tightening around him significantly.

Jasper, in response, found himself crying out Alice's name after one last push into her. This was the moment he reveled in the most.... Something about holding her close just made him feel...right and alive. He shuddered as his own climax came on, and it took all he had to keep both of them supported.

Alice panted heavily as she clung to her lover, kissing him sweetly and holding him close, still leaning against the wall. "Love you," she managed to mumble.

"Love you too," he whispered back, holding her as close as he could. Once he was sure his legs could handle it, he made his way slowly to the bed, carrying her with him.

Alice was happy to allow herself to be carried, and relaxed as she felt the comfort of their bedspread against her back.

Jasper was happy to cuddle with Alice on the bed after their little romp, and to recharge a little before probably going again. If she was up for it.

Alice certainly was. When it came to sex between the two of them, they were rarely limited to doing it once. Vampires didn't often get tired, and the restricted blood flow usually allowed for erections to be obtained rather quickly when aroused.

Jasper was willing to go as many times as Alice wanted to, temporarily forgetting about the one person in the house who wasn't used to hearing anyone go at with such vigor.

Alice wasn't particularly quiet, of course, so Ember would certainly have no trouble hearing them, even without vampire senses. Alice did, after all, enjoy sex with Jasper.
