A/N

So here is part 2 of Poker Night. This chapter is dedicated to my BFF (in real life lol) Kay Cannon, she's my Twi rock and soul, she always encourages me no matter how off the wall my ideas are.

The Denise Richards reference – I have to admit that I've always had a girl crush on Denise Richards from her Wild Things days. She was just so pretty back then…now she's petite pathetic but I still love her lol.

In regards to the "poker rules" this might sound off the wall and kind of gross but I have heard so many rich kid urban legends of shit like this going on…I even heard them from some firsthand sources so I'm pretty confident in what I've written.

9.5/10 Poker Face

EPOV

(Get It Faster, by Jimmy Eat World)

Upon arriving I pushed past Jasper and headed straight to the bar.

"Whiskey Sir?" Laurent had it waiting and ready. The man is a fucking saint!

I nodded and held the glass up in appreciation before downing it and throwing the glass back on the bar for a refill.

"One of those nights sir"" I raised my brow in a 'watch it, don't forget your place and fill the fucking glass' sort of tone. He understood and remained quite while he refilled the glass.

"Damn man two already? What's up your fucking skirt? Bella not putting out yet?" Jasper stood next to me at the bar "vodka on the rocks my good man"

"Don't fucking talk about her like that" I voiced through a controlled growl and gritted teeth.

"Woa man I love Bella, she's a great girl! It's just Alice told me…look, sooner or later we grow up and leave all of this" he waved his hand around "bullshit behind. The sex the drugs it's all just fun and games to pass the time." His face softened when I finally turned my head to look him in the eyes

"You don't have to be like them. Fuck man you and Bella, any one… it's in your eyes man…Look just do me, your sister, yourself, and Mi Bella a fucking favor and just give in to what you know you want and everything else will fall into place. Just stop thinking so damn much." After he placed his hand on my shoulder I gave a heavy sigh. He was right.

"Thanks man" ok enough of this sentimental bullshit "now let's put our vagina's away and play some fucking poker"

(Six Under Ground by The Sneaker Pimps)

"That's the spirit! So…you know the rules who's it gonna be tonight?" "Poker Night" is the mask under which the children of the Kirkland Elite cut loose if you will. Let's break down the rules shall we

Invitation only

10K buy in

If you play, you're in until you lose everything. Now here's where things get interesting. A sick and twisted "gentlemen's" game that goes back further then I'd like to admit. The first hour or so is spent pairing off. The woman attach themselves to either the man their currently fucking, or the man they feel has the best odds. Once paired, she becomes his million dollar bill. If his tangible cash is lost, she is the last dollar to be bet. If you lose her you're out…in more ways than one. If you play your in it till you lose everything.

The winner wins ALL.

Betting sex and woman, fucking sick! I never really thought much about it until the idea of Bella being bet entered my mind. Not my fucking girl!

"Naw not tonight Jazz. Tonight I watch the insanity unfold." He narrowed his eyes in skeptical disbelief. Finally he just shook his head in understanding and let it go. More people began arriving. Ben Hale and Tyler with his slut Jessica, huh guess their back together. Rebecca and Lauren. Fuck she just spotted me.

Not wanting to be attacked by that hyena and her plastic tits I grabbed my 3rd refill and made a mad fucking dash down the hall to the game room where the actual poker takes place. I sat at the table and pulled out my money for the night. I had no intention of buying in but as a rule I always come prepared.

It had been less than five fucking minutes when I smelt an overabundance of designer perfume waft through out the room.

(Love & Sexy Magic by Ciara ft. Justin Timberlake)

"What do you want Lauren?" I didn't even have to look. I could smell that disgusting smell anywhere.

"What's with you? God, ever since that bitch, what's her name? Bonnie, Brenda…"

"Bella" I growled without looking at her

"Are you sure? I could have sworn her name was something like Beatrice or Beast, (sigh) oh well…ever since she got here your panties have been all damp and twisted for her. I don't see it"

"You wouldn't" I said to her indifferently as I downed my whiskey. It killed me to listen to the bile spewing from her glossed lips about my Bella, but there was no way in hell I was gonna give her the satisfaction of getting a rise out of me.

She snorted in response "right, whatever." A long beat passed before she continued to talk. I sighed visibly annoyed that she was still fucking here. "So what's the deal, you can't possibly tell me that miss doe eyes is in for poker night…what do you say, let's bet for old time's sake" she crossed behind me and I felt her slimy fingers run up my neck and through my hair as her hard tits pressed painfully into my back. I grimaced when I heard another voice enter the room.

"There you are silly goose" Rebecca cooed when she entered. I felt bad for her, trapped under the spell of Lauren Mallory. Rebecca was actually decent looking, Denise Richards in stature, Wild Things not 40 year old 'It's Complicated' Reality Star. She sashayed over and placed another drink in front of me and proceeded to "fall" into my lap.

"Eddie you don't play with us anymore" she pouted as Lauren wrapped her arms around me and brought her hot disgusting mouth to my ear.

"Looks like we have an audience Eddie" She whispered, her vodka scented breath spilling across my face. I looked towards the door to lock eyes with…Bella!

I froze. My mind went…blank. I had nothing I felt numb when I saw the hurt in her eyes and the tears about to brim over.

"Fuck!" I finally spewed. "Get the fuck off me" I growled at Rebecca in a calm serial killer crazy tone of voice. She jumped up and gaped at me with wide eyes. I heard Lauren break out in to full hysterics behind me.

"What the fuck is so fucking funny Lauren" I demanded again in the crazy tone. I was beyond pissed. This bitch was gonna pay in due time but first, I wanna know what the hell is so fucking funny.

"Oh nothing" she spat through her laughter. "It's just ahaha she came in and we were, and then…and oh my god the look on her face. Becks, did you see that fucking look!? That bitch was about to fucking cry! HA!" she sighed calming down her laughter as my anger rose. I would never hit a woman but she was fucking pushing it. "She actually thought that you were gonna be a good boy for her? Stupid pathetic little girl" She stared me down with an eyebrow up and her arms crossed.

(AHAHAAHAHA)

I heard Bella laugh out in the hall. When I turned towards the door she waltzed right past arm in arm with "James" I whispered.

"Wow…James?" Lauren snorted "I take it back, maybe Bella" she emphasized her name to show that she finally remembered it "has some slut in her after all. Fuck, I'm kind of impressed"

I stormed after them but was stopped by Alice before I made it all the way down the hall. She pushed me into the wall with all of her 5'2" might.

"What the Fuck did you do to Mi Bella? Why is she cozying up to that fucktwat?" God love her she has the worst timing otherwise I would have found her attempt at anger and aggression kind of amusing.

"Not now Alice" I yelled picking her up by her shoulders and physically moving her out of my way. Finally I made it to the bar where I saw…

"What the fuck James! I thought I told you to stay away from my girl" He kissed her, that motherfucker! I'm gonna fucking murder him. I could feel my eyes turn blood red with rage as I began to breathe deep and quick like a bull ready to charge his enemy.

"Wow Cullen, never thought I'd live to see the tables flipped where it was your girl getting swooped on"

James had a smug grin on his face as he attempted to walk past me. I responded by shoving him into the bar. Fucking assfuck. This was gonna happen here and now. My first fight. I was gonna wipe that shit eating grin off his smug fucking face.

"Edward stop it!" Bella screamed pushing me back as she turned to James…what the fuck? Why would she be comforting him, unless she wanted him to kiss her? Fuck, Edward you're so fucking stupid. Alice warned you, and now it's too late. You fucking lost her

"I am so sorry, are you ok?"

The room began to spin. I felt sick and dizzy. James said something to me but I have no idea what it was. All I could focus on were the words, 'you lost her' game over all bets down. My bluff was called and I didn't have the cards to back it up. I fucking lost her.

(How's It Gonna Be by Third Eye Blind)

"What the hell is the matter with you!? And I'm not your girl, you've made sure of that" My chest felt heavy like a 200lb weight was pressing it down into the dirt where it belongs. My heart stopped beating. I fucking lost her. I looked up to see James smiling that all knowing smile. If I hadn't been glued to the ground in shock I might have done something about it.

"Well go ahead Cullen. Try to make it better so that the next time you fuck up she can come running back to me. Except next time it'll be for good"

My senses finally returned to me and I ran after her. No time to worry about that asswipe. Bella was the most important thing to me in this moment and I had to make things right.

"Bella" I whispered once I was directly behind her in the Whitlock/Hale back property.

"What" She snapped through a clenched jaw refusing to turn to face me. I inhaled deeply smelling her strawberry shampoo and freesia scent, nothing like the trashy designer worn by the rest of them. She smelled clean and beautiful, perfect.

"Will you please look at me" she didn't move "Bella I (sigh) it wasn't what it looked like" Finally she turned. I wish she hadn't for her eyes shot icy daggers straight through me.

"It never is, is it?" Her words were cold and her voice was empty. Fuck she's right, this wasn't the first time she found me in a compromising position, but it wasn't what it looked then and it really isn't now.

"Bella I swear to you I…"

"Edward I can't do this" She spoke hurried with sad defeated eyes "I can't keep putting myself out there only to look stupid when one of these skanks comes around. I'm not like these girls. I don't play dirty. I felt horrible using James to get your attention…even worse I led him on to kiss me. You should have seen his face when he said your name knowing that no matter what you did I would still want you, and I still do but I" She threw her hands up in defeat. Defeat to what exactly was still unclear. Was she surrendering to me and my power over her or to the idea that we were doomed from the start because of what I had let myself become while she was gone. Both were unpleasant realizations. I wanted her to surrender to our feelings not to the other bullshit.

She took a step into me and placed one small hand on my chest as she met my eyes with a sense of urgency. The electricity of her touch surged through me.

"Tell me what you want Edward. I need to know. I can't keep fighting a one sided battle. What do you want" Again I froze. What do I want? I knew the answer was her, all of her, but my lips wouldn't move. I was scared shitless, not of her but of the unknown. The monogamous. I was scared of getting everything and fucking up again, and this time really loosing it all.

Shit! She sighed heavily and stepped around me to head back inside. Instantly I felt cold and empty when she removed her electric hand from my chest. I turned to watch her slip away and…

"I want you!" She stopped dead in her tracks but didn't turn. I ran up to her turning her around quickly and crashing my lips to hers hard and needy. No teeth or tongue just a crash, an instant need for contact. She went limp in my arms as she "mmmed" a low moan when the kiss softened before I pulled back leaning my forehead against hers, panting to catch my breath. Her fingers trailed up the sides of neck to fist into my hair. I clung to her waist refusing to let her go.

"I want you, all of you, all the time, I only want you,"

She placed a chaste kiss on lips and smiled "You have me"

"You have to believe me, that wasn't what it looked like, they were just…and I was"

"Shhhh" She leaned up and kissed me with a slight urgency but this time it wasn't an attempt to cling on for dear life, this time it was out of excitement for things to come, kisses to come.

Reluctantly I pulled away and chuckled at her closed eyes and searching lips. Finally she opened her brown pools and looked up at me with a confused expression. Moving my hands up to cup her cheeks I placed one more kiss on her soft lips causing her to smile as her delicious tongue darted out to lick me off of her mouth when it was over. My jeans tightened at the sight of her pink tongue and the look of lust strung across her face.

"Let's get the fuck out of here" I whispered through my lips pressed against her forehead. She nodded enthusiastically.

"I should tell Alice and make sure Angela is ok" I groaned. I really wanted to throw her over my shoulder and runaway with her, but my Bella was way to responsible to just leave her friends hanging. I knew that they would be fine, hell the way Angela was going she and Ben were well on their way to "fine", but that's my Bella always caring more for others than herself. A habit I'm sure that was developed from caring for her mother, the fucking train wreck. I nodded in understanding. She took my hand from her cheek and laced her fingers through mine. Hand in hand we walked back into the house.

After seeing Angela on the couch sucking Ben's face off, while Alice found her way to the top of the poker table where she was belting out some horrible dirty rap song about "freaks of the industry" to Jasper, she realized they were both well taken care of. Simply shaking her head, Bella and I made our exit hand in hand. I lead her to Lucy, my second favorite girl in the world and opened her door allowing her to slip into the leather seat.

She immediately grabbed my ipod and began flipping through songs. An angelic grin slipped on to her face when she finally chose a song. I started the engine and reached for the button to put the top up, it was too cold for her tonight.

"No leave it…please" how can I say no to that pretty face and those deep brown eyes when "please" sashays off of those luscious pouty lips.

Come with me
My love
To the sea
The sea of love

I want to tell you
how much
I love you

Sea of love. I was pleasantly surprised. I would have thought she would have searched for some emo or 90's monstrosity but as usual my Bella surprised me. As we drove she threw her arms into the air to feel the wind and laid her head back mouthing the words. Stunning. She's the most beautiful creature I've ever laid eyes on.

Do you remember
When we met
That's the day
I knew you were my pet

I wanna tell you
how much
I love you

We drove in a comfortable silence enjoying the moment. We had things to talk about but for now we were just enjoying each other's company. After a five minute drive we pulled into my garage and stepped out of the car.

"No one is home" I reassured her. I don't know if it really mattered or not but it seemed like it needed to be said.

"Mm" was her answer as she waited for me to lead her into the house. I held out my hand and she took it willingly.

"Come on beautiful" She smiled. My mission in life from now on was to make her gorgeous face smile every day. Still to insecure to say it out loud, I love her, I know I do.

After 2 ½ flights of stairs and silence we made it to my door. I glanced at her through the corner of my eye to notice her nervously staring at her feet and wishing I had some sort of mind reading powers. We were in.

I couldn't take it anymore. The silence had become torture as I felt the wheels turning round in her pretty little head. She turned to close and lock the door behind us and when she turned back around I was inches from her face leaning one hand on the door the other on her delicate hip. God bless my sister for making her wear this ensemble. The jeans hugged every curve of her body while the shirt teased me with glimpses of treasure underneath, and the shoes where gonna be the fucking death of me.

"Penny for your thoughts?" I asked in a husky lust filled voice. I wanted her, but not just physically. If she would grant it, I wanted her soul from her lips to her toes, all of her.

All she did was smirk and shake her head 'no' as a beautiful crimson blush crept up her face. The hand on her hip slid up to the flesh right under the hem of her button down shirt as she continued to look at her feet. The hand on the door slid to cup the side of her face while my thumb stroked her cheek.

"Isabella" I whispered leaning my forehead into hers. Our faces meeting foreheads first, then nose, and finally lips. One chaste kiss turned into another and another and then it lingered, soft and sweet. Needy but not rushed. In perfect synchronization our lips parted to deepen the kiss and I leaned her further into the door. Her hands started at my wrists, which were both now dancing under the hem of her shirt. They slowly glided up my arms stopping to caress my neck before taking their rightful place in my hair.

The overwhelming sensation of it all made me let out an uncontrollable groan/moan/gruntish thing causing her to moan ever so softly in response.

Our tongues wrestled for dominance as we explored each other's teeth, cheeks and lips, anything we could reach and taste. For breathing purposes only, I pulled back and attacked her neck. She moaned and withered beneath me. My arousal was quickly taking over. I needed more, we needed more. I lifted her off the ground by her hips and she instinctively wrapped her legs around me. As I returned to her lips my hands cupped her ass and I carried her across the room to the bed.

A/N

My inspiration for this next bit comes from So You Think You Can Dance. Travis from season 2 choreographed this amazing contemporary routine to Jason Mraz's If It Kills Me (From The Casa Nova Sessions), it was danced by Jason and Janine and the routine + the song pretty much embodies what I imagine Edward and Bella's first time together would look like (through dance and pertaining to this story only lol) so Itunes the song and youtube the dance for visuals. …And without further ado…Lemons!!! First in BPOV then EPOV to get both perspectives of their first time together : )
