Chapter 11
Alice woke up on Saturday morning so aroused from her dreams, that she was almost gnashing her teeth in frustration. She'd never felt this much sexual frustration, ever. Jasper's kiss had lit a fire in her, a fire that had her burning, a fire only Jasper could put out.
She kept re-living every moment, from the first touch of their lips, with anger on Jasper's part, surprise on hers. The way her body had pressed against his, the feel of his erection against her middle. The feel of his hair through her fingers, the skin of his neck, the taste of his lips and tongue.
Alice reached down and felt her soaked panties. She could feel herself throbbing and knew she was close to an orgasm. It wouldn't take much. She hadn't brought herself to orgasm in longer than she could remember but she needed to now, or she'd explode from frustration.
She moved her hand underneath the elastic and gently rubbed her clit. It was so swollen and sensitive, touching it sent tingles down her legs. She was so wet and slick that friction wasn't a problem and started teasing her nub with small circular motions.
Alice began imagining that it was Jasper's fingers that were pleasuring her, teasing her, so when she plunged a finger into her entrance, she gasped at the image of Jasper pushing his fingers into her pussy, stretching her.
Her mind turned to imagining that Jasper's cock, long and rigid, began plunging into her, filling and stretching her. The imagery made her moan and her fingers began thrusting in and out of her pussy, whilst her thumb continued rubbing her swollen nub. Her hips started rolling in time with her fingers and she could feel the pressure building, aching for release.
Her other reached for her nipple, rolling it between her thumb and forefinger, pulling it and imagined that it was Jasper's lips sucking on it. She started panting, her hips thrusting up and down without conscious thought as she felt herself begin to reach boiling point.
When her mind saw herself taking his throbbing cock in her mouth, milking it for all she was worth, she lost it. Alice groaned out load, thrashing her hips as her orgasm broke over her in waves. She frantically continued thrusting her fingers in her pussy, riding out her climax, moaning as her body began to calm down, small lingering ripples of pleasure continuing to roll through her body.
Alice lay back in relief, in the afterglow of her orgasm. Her heartbeat and breathing began to settle down as drowsiness replaced the excitement. That had been the most intense orgasm she'd ever had. If that was what her fantasising about Jasper could do, imagine how she'd feel if she ever really had sex with Jasper. She'd probably explode in ecstasy.
The drowsiness got worse so Alice gave in to it and fell asleep again. After her restless night, she was deeply asleep when her phone rang. Alice jumped up, confused and disoriented, trying to work out what that sound was. As the fog cleared from her brain, realisation hit. The phone!
Stumbling from the bed, she got her foot caught in the tangled sheet and almost went flying, knocking over the bedside lamp in the process. She frantically reached for her phone before it stopped ringing, hitting the receive button.
"Hello?" she asked hoarsely, her voice still thick with sleep.
"Alice? It's Bella. Were you asleep?"
"Um...yeah."
"I'm sorry I woke you. Are you feeling ok? You don't usually sleep this late," asked Bella, worried for her friend.
"What time is it?" asked Alice. She'd also knocked over her bedside radio when she stumbled for the phone and had no idea how late it was.
"It's 11.30. We have appointment with the dressmaker at midday and when I didn't hear from you this morning, I began to worry," replied Bella.
"11.30! Yikes!"
"Are you ok?" Bella asked again. Alice was never late for anything.
"Yeah, I'm fine. I just had trouble sleeping last night and I must have finally nodded off this morning."
"Oh...ok."
"Listen, I'd better hurry up and get dressed or I'll be really late. I'll see you down there soon, ok?"
"Ok. See you soon," replied Bella. This Jasper business must really be affecting Alice for her to be having trouble sleeping. She usually slept like a log.
Alice hung up and raced to the bathroom. She barely had time to shower, brush her teeth, do her hair and put on some minimal makeup before she had to rush out the door to make the appointment in time.
Her Porsche was a high performance vehicle but that wasn't any good to her in the busy streets of downtown Seattle on a Saturday morning. The place was crawling with the usual Saturday morning crowd, shopping, browsing, catching up with friends over lunch.
Alice thought she'd have trouble finding parking, but luckily a car was pulling out just ahead and she smoothly drove her car into the vacant spot. Grabbing her handbag, Alice raced down the street as fast as her high-heeled feet would let her, nearly forgetting to lock the Porsche in the rush.
She pushed open the door to the dressmaker, out of breath. She really needed to get more exercise! Bella was already there with Angela, her other bridesmaid.
"Hey Alice," smiled Angela.
"Hi Ange. How are you? How are those kindy terrors you teach?" Angela was a kindergarten teacher which surprised no one. She'd always been a motherly person, having spent a good deal of time looking after her younger twin brothers. She was also one of the kindest people she knew.
Angela laughed. "I've got a new crop, so there's been the usual tears, tantrums and wet pants. But they're so cute, even if they drive me crazy at times! How's college? Enjoying it?"
"Yeah," smiled Bella. "She's got the hots for teacher!"
"Really? Wow. What's his name?" asked Angela
"Thanks Bella," said Alice, giving Bella a dirty glare. Bella just smiled back angelically. "Yes, I am enjoying college, even though I'm still getting used to the workload. And his name is Jasper Whitlock, my history professor."
"Jasper Whitlock! Wow, he's gorgeous."
"You know Jasper?" asked Alice, surprised.
"I know of him and I saw him around campus when I was there. Half the female student body was in love with him." She looked at Alice, smiling. "Are you in love with him too?"
"Yeah."
"He never gave any of the females who followed him around the time of day, so I wish you the best of luck."
"Thanks Ange," replied Alice sarcastically. Angela wasn't to know that Jasper had already given her the time of day, even if he didn't like it.
Bella turned to Alice curiously. "Were you ok earlier? When I called?"
"Yeah, I've just been having trouble sleeping lately and I finally fell deeply asleep early this morning." Alice flushed slightly, remembering how she'd solved her sleeplessness this morning.
Just then the dressmaker came out with their dresses to try on. Bella had decided to go with a deep green for her bridesmaids dresses, saying the colour reminded her of Edward's eyes. Bella had asked Alice to design the dresses and Alice had designed a simple floor length, strapless dress that was form fitting and hugged their curves. The material was a sumptuous silk blend with embroidery in cream around the bust line. The look was elegant and simple. Bella wasn't one for frills and fussiness, thankfully, and had loved the dress, knowing Alice and Angela would look beautiful. Not as beautiful as Bella, but then, no-one outshone the bride on her wedding day.
Alice had also designed Bella's dress, with a lot of input from Bella. It was similar in design to the bridesmaid's dresses but with a small train. The material was a gorgeous champagne colour in duchesse satin with a crystal encrusted bust. Bella was having Edward's name sewn over her heart in tiny crystals. Bella's veil would also have their initials on it.
After the fitting, Bella dragged the girls to the store where she had seen the perfect shoes to go with the dresses. Dragged was probably too strong a word as Alice never needed much persuasion to look at shoes. Bella showed them the shoes she liked, asking their opinion.
"Will you be able to walk in those, Bella? You know you and co-ordination don't always see eye to eye," said Alice sceptically. They were the concealed platform type with at least a nine-inch heel.
Bella poked her tongue out at her. "Ha ha. I'll practice every night before the wedding and on the day, I'll be either gripping onto Dad's arm or Edward's. I'll be fine."
"Ok, if you're sure. I'd just hate for you to have to spend your wedding night in the Emergency room!"
Angela laughed in agreement. "You have spent more time in Emergency than anyone else I know, Bella."
"You guys are sooo funny," laughed Bella. "Ok, I'll have another think about it, but I really do like those shoes."
They went to lunch after that and Bella persuaded Alice to go over and hang out that night at her and Edward's place with some other friends. Alice didn't feel like brooding over Jasper and was looking forward to being amongst company. She would see Jasper soon enough. What would he do when he saw her again? After that kiss.

The sweat rolled down his face and onto his chest as he pushed himself at a relentless pace on the treadmill. His iPod was turned up high, trying to drown out the thoughts that had plagued him since Friday night.
Jasper had trouble getting to sleep, and when he finally did, his dreams were filled with images of Alice and him having all sorts of hot and heavy sex. Since he'd tasted her lips, the dreams had become even more vivid, with those soft lips tracing every part of his body, leaving him panting and so hard that he'd had to jerk himself off in order to get some semblance of sleep afterwards. He hadn't masturbated so much since he was pimply teenager with raging hormones. The pimples were long gone, but his hormones were running rampant.
Damn Alice! She'd done this to him. With her green eyes, delectable body and soft, kissable lips, she was driving him crazy!
Two weeks ago he'd be lucky if the vague thought of sex crossed his mind once every few months. Now, he felt like he was obsessed by it. If it was true that men thought about sex every few minutes on average, then he'd blown that statistic out of the water. The thought of sex with Alice was constantly running through his mind. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get the feel of her body against his, the taste of lips and mouth and moans she'd made out of his head. He was constantly aroused, with all its accompanying discomfort.
When he'd woken up again this morning with another massive erection, Jasper decided he needed to work off his frustration with an extra long session at the gym. It was Sunday morning, so the gym shouldn't be too busy this morning as most gym-goers would probably be sleeping in.
After extra long sessions on the lifting equipment and rowing machine, he'd pushed himself harder than usual on the treadmill, setting the speed faster than he'd ever gone before. He hoped that if he wore his body out, physically exhausted himself, he'd be able to get a decent night's sleep for a change.
You could just get rid of this frustration by sleeping with her.
No! I can't. I can't risk it, thought Jasper.
Why not? She wants you. You know you want her.
I'm afraid. What if I get emotionally involved?
You can keep emotions out of it. Keep it light.
How can I do that? She told me she loved me. It wouldn't be casual for her.
She just thinks she loves you. She's probably just confusing lust with love.
What if I hurt her?
Be upfront from the start. Give her the option and if she's willing to take you on those terms, go for it.
What if I fall in love with her?
You won't. You said you'd never fall in love again.
But what if I can't help myself? What then?
If you think you're in any danger of that, finish things. Walk away.
I might not be able to. That's what terrifies me. That I just won't be able to walk away from her.
Well, you've got to do something. You can't carry on like this.
I know. I know.
