Let's get to Alice, and then some, shall we...

Chapter Ten

"Who's car's in the driveway?" Alice asked, she tossed her bag on the kitchen counter. "it's a sweet ride," she stated, then she turned around and saw Bella and me with her parents.

"Oh, hi Bella, hi Edward," she smiled. "I didn't know you were coming over. Is that your car, Edward?"

"Uh, yeah, it is."

My mouth was damn dry.

"It's a cool car," she continued, "It looks fast, I love fast cars."

"Thanks," I responded, "It can go pretty fast."

"Alice, come in here honey, there's something your father and I need to talk to you about," Esme called.

"Ooo-kay," she replied, "What's going on?"

"Something happened last night when we went to Chief Swan's for dinner," Carlisle started, "it's the reason Edward and Bella are here tonight."

"Is everything okay?" Alice asked.

"Yes baby," Esme assured her, "everything's wonderful." Esme moved to sit next to Alice on the couch. "Do you remember when we told you we had another baby before you were born?"

"Yeah," Alice remembered, looking at her mother. "You told me you lost him, that he was still..."

"Stillborn," Esme finished. "Yes, we were told our baby had died when he was born... only," Esme paused and looked at me, my heart constricted in my chest, "only he didn't die, Alice. Our son, your brotherCOMMA is very much alive."

"What?" Alice gasped. "I'm confused. How's that possible?"

"It was a big shock," Esme said.

"So he's alive, that would make him what... 21 or so? Is that what you're telling me?" Alice gasped the exhaled. "My brother's alive?"

"Yes, that's what I'm saying," Esme reassured, "he's alive and well."

"Do Bella and Edward know him? Is that why they're here? Is he a friend or something?" Alice rattled off her questions.

Esme and Carlisle looked at Alice and then back at me. Bella squeezed my hand and smiled.

"Well, not exactly, Ali," Carlisle replied, "it's much more than that."

I took a deep breath and then looked at Alice.

"It's me, Alice," I interjected. She jerked her head up to look at me. "I'm your brother."

"You?" She asked wide-eyed.

"Yeah," I replied, "me."

Alice continued to stare at me like she did when we first met in the diner. I could see the shock and wonder in her eyes.

"I knew there was something about you when I first met you, your eyes were so gree, just like Mom's," she proclaimed, she looked at Esme and then back at me. "And we like our hot chocolate the same way."

"Extra whipped cream" I rasped, I couldn't help but get a little choked up.

Alice stood to her feet and walked over to me. She looked up at me and stared into my eyes regarding me closely.

"You're really my brother?"

"Yeah, I really am."

"I always wanted a brother," she mused as she wiped a tear that had fallen from her eye.

"And now you have one," I responded, "I'd love to get to know you. I grew up an only child too, so I'm pretty stoked to have a little sister."

"Can I... can I hug you?"

"Of course."

I opened my arms to her and she walked into them. She was so tiny, her head barely to my shoulders. As I held her, I looked to my mother as she wiped tears from her cheeks. I was sure this was a moment she'd always dreamed of.

After Alice and I had a few moments to get to know each other, she got a phone call from a friend and ran up to her bedroom.

"She's great,' I said.

"Yeah, she is," Esme marveled, "She can be a bit lost in her own world sometimes, but it looks as if she likes the idea of having a brother."

"Edward, before you and Bella got here tonight, we were talking and we wanted to run something by you," Carlisle began.

"Okay, sure."

"We know you've been staying at the hotel since you got into town and that it's probably cost you a pretty penny for as long as you've stayed there. So we were thinking, hoping really, that you'd stay here."

"Oh wow," I stammered. I so wasn't expecting that. I honestly didn't even think about what I was going to do, but they were right, staying at the hotel was slowly making me go broke.

"Now we know you're a grown man and we wouldn't expect you'd want to have a just bedroom here in the house," Carlisle explained, "That said, there's a cottage on the property, it's small, but it's fully furnished and has everything you might need."

"It was one of my design projects," Esme explained, "It's just down the path, we don't really use it unless we have company and you could stay there for as long as you'd like... while you figure things out."

"That sounds really nice," I responded. "I'd like to be closer to you guys."

"Then it's settled," Carlisle declared. "Check out of the hotel tomorrow morning. We don't want you staying there any longer than absolutely necessary."

"All right," I agreed. "I'll check out tomorrow."

"Excellent," Carlisle said.

We continued to talk and get to know each other for another hour or so. A clock chimed somewhere in the house signaling the late hour which prompted Bella and me to call it a night.

"See you tomorrow?" Esme asked.

"Count on it." I hugged her close.

"Bye Edward," Alice said.

"I'll see you tomorrow too," I told her.

After a short drive, we were back at Bella's house. I park the car in front of the house and killed the engine.

"Thanks for coming with me tonight." I said.

"You're welcome," she replied. Bella looked over at me and then back toward the house. "My dad's working overnight; want to come in for a bit?"

"Sure," I grinned not wanting to let her go for the night just yet.

Once inside, Bella and I sat on the couch and I wrapped my arm around her pulling her close. She'd come to mean so much to me in such a short amount of time. I felt like I could tell her anything, she made me want to be a better man. I thought about my feelings and I was pretty sure that for the first time in my life, I was falling in love.

Bella snuggled into my side and draped her arm over my stomach. I inhaled the scent of her hair and without saying a word, she leaned up and kissed my mouth. I kissed her back and when our tongues met, she let out a deep moan that shot straight to my dick.

"Bella," I groaned. And before I knew it, we'd fallen back on the couch and I was on top of her, once again between her legs, and hard as stone.

I continued to kiss her mouth; deep and wet and full of passion. Her hands were all through my hair and running wild over my chest. I pulled away from her mouth when I felt her hands lifting them hem of my t-shirt. Her hands were cool on my skin but her eyes were burning through me.

"Edward…" she said softly. The sound of my name from her lips did crazy shit to me.

"Bella, you have to tell me," I demanded. I leaned down to kiss her again. I wanted to wait to make this special for her, I knew I didn't want her first time to be in my roadside hotel room, she deserved so much more than that. But we weren't in my room, we were in her house, a place she felt safe, and her father was working until morning. I looked into her eyes and saw everything I needed to know, I just needed her to say the words.

"Please Edward," she begged, "I don't want to wait anymore. I want you."

"Fuck Bella, I want you too... so badly," I groaned. I kissed her neck and sucked on her ear lobe. "I need to feel you."

"Then take me upstairs."

"Are you sure, Bella, really sure?"

"I"m sure, Edward. I've never been more sure about anything in my life. I'm sure about you...about us. I want to be with you. I want you to be the one, only you."

That was all I needed. I kissed her again and then stood taking her with me. Without hesitating Bella took my hand in hers and led me up the stairs to her bedroom.

We stood at the side of her bed. I was about to reach out, but she beat me to it when she stepped closer to me and brought my lips down to hers. As we kissed she once again ran her hands under my shirt and started to lift it up, only this time I didn't stop her. I helped her when it got to the point where she could no longer reach. Once it was off, I tossed it onto the floor and her eyes were all over me.

I wasn't a muscle head, but I worked out some and had some definition in my chest. I could tell she was pleased with what she saw.

My hands, which had been resting on her hips, snaked underneath her shirt. Just like she'd done, I lifted the shirt over her head and swallowed hard when I saw her. She had on the sexiest navy blue bra I'd ever seen. I'm not sure I ever paid too much attention to girl's underwear before. I was more concerned with the main event than appreciating lace and satin, but damn, I now know what the fuck I was missing.

Bella and I both removed our own shoes, socks and jeans. I was down to just my boxer briefs and fuck me, her panties matched her bra. I was so gone. I knew, without a doubt, I'd appreciate her underwear from now on.

"Damn, you're so sexy, "I grunted. I took her in my arms and crashed my lips to hers. I gripped her hips and walked her back until her knees hit her bed. I slowly lowered her down onto the mattress and then covered her body with my own.

She parted her legs and allowed me to settle myself between them. I could feel the heat from her center radiating through my boxers. It was making me harder, as if that was even possible. Her skin was so soft against mine, I wanted to touch every inch of her body.

As I kissed her, I pulled down her bra straps and then the cups to expose her breasts to me. As I looked at her, my mouth watered.

"Fuck Bella, you are so beautiful." I whispered. I then reached around her back to unhook her bra, dragging if off her body. I felt Bella reach for my boxers, but I stilled her hands. She eyed me.

"Before you do that," I began, "I should tell you, that I'm... well, I'm pierced." For the first time since I got my piercing, I regretted it. Now it seemed really dumb. The last thing I wanted was for Bella to be turned off by the idea and want to stop because of it.

"Oh," Bella marveled, her eyes searching mine. "Seriously, you pierced your... "

"Yes," I murmured, "I was 19 and I wanted to do something that my parents had no control over so yes, I pierced my dick. Sounds crazy I know, but it seemed like a good idea at the time. My parents controlled just about everything I did, and well my dick was one thing they had no control over, so that's why I did it. Does that freak you out?"

"I um, don't think so," she replied. She seemed conflicted.

"I can take it out, if you want, I can," I told her. Truth be told, I'd do anything for her, all she had to do was ask.

"No, no, you don't have to do that, I just wasn't expecting you to say that, but I'm sure it's... intriguing," she blushed, "will it feel weird?"

"I don't think so, it's pretty intense actually," I assured her.

"Okay, can I see now?"

"You're sure?"

"Edward, I want you, I want to be with you. Show me, please."

I nodded and then lowered my boxers and removed them completely. Finally I was naked for the first time in front of her and my heart was in my throat. I was starting to sweat. I'd never cared what a girl thought about my body or my piercing before, but now I cared more than I ever cared about anything. I could see Bella's eyes widen when she saw the barbell that intersected the head of my cock.

"Oh um... okay then," she mused while looking at me. I was hard and fully erect. I wasn't sure I'd ever been this hard before and the hardware was looking right at her. "It's kind of sexy," she smiled as she moved closer to me.

"Sexy huh?" I smirked. "You're fucking sexy, Bella." I moved so that I was hovering over her once more, but I could tell there was something else on her mind.

She blushed again as she looked up at me. "Will it... I mean, I think I lost my words."

I smiled back. "It'll be okay. I'll go slowly until you get used to the feel of me."

From what I'd learned in health class in high school, I knew I was a bit above average in length and width. Yes, I measured, like every other high school kid, and I was almost eight inches. The last thing I wanted to do was hurt Bella in any way, so I knew I had to take this slow. This was unlike any other past experience, this wasn't going to be a quick get in and get off, this was different and I found myself a little nervous.

I kissed her again and ran my hand down her side, stopping at her hip. I ran my finger along the edge of her panties and then slowly moved my whole hand underneath the fabric. When I reached her folds, we both gasped. She was so wet and warm as I moved my fingers over her.

"Edward," she gasped.

"Damn Bella, you feel so good on my fingers, so smooth, I can't wait to be inside you."

I swirled my fingers all around her clit, making her move under me. I then lowered my finger and found her opening. I pushed one finger inside her and then another, she was so tight and I knew she was going to grip my cock so damn good.

I rubbed her clit while I thrust my fingers inside her. I continued this until she came hard on my hand.

"Fuck, that was hot," I said. Bella watched as I brought my fingers up to my lips and licked them clean with a moan. She tasted so damn good.

Bella then reached between us and took my cock in her small hands. I nearly flew off the bed from her touch. I closed my eyes tightly as she moved her hand up and down my length. She stopped at the head and lightly ran her fingers over the barbell. I hissed and felt like I was going to come right then and there. She could do that all she wanted after.

I stilled her hand and brought it to my lips for a kiss. I then slowly lowered her panties over her hips and off her legs. I grabbed a condom from my wallet and rolled it down my aching length.

"Are you ready, babe?" I asked her.

"Yes," she pleaded, "please, Edward, I'm ready."

I nodded and then moved so I was at her entrance. I slowly pushed inside her, being as gentle as possible. I watched her as I slid in inch by amazing inch, until I was all the way snide inside her. I lowered my body so we were chest to chest and kissed her lips.

"You feel so good," I grunted as I stilled my movements.

"I"m okay, Edward, you can move," she urged, "I need to feel you move."

I did what she asked and started to move within her. I pulled out and slowly moved back in. After a few strokes, her wetness made it so easy for me to slide in and out of her tight pussy, making me groan with every thrust.

I was so used to fast and hard, I never did slow, but this way I could actually feel all of her. I could feel how warm she was, how soft, and how wet. I could savor the look in her eyes when I moved with every thrust. Hard and fast was good, but making love slowly, was something I never knew I missed.

I thrust in and out, over and over, I could feel her start to tighten around me.

"Bella, I need you to come, I'm so close. I need to you to come. I reached down between our joined bodies and rubbed her clit like I'd done earlier.

"So close, ah, ah God. Oh. I'm gonna... " she moaned as her orgasm hit her like a tidal wave.

"Yes," I can feel you." I moved with a little more speed and then I was coming, so fucking hard. I pumped inside her until I was completely empty.

"Ah damn," I gasped as I pulled out of her and rolled over. I pulled off the condom and tossed it in the wastebasket that was next to the bed. My heart was pounding in my chest and my skin was hot. I was in a total euphoric state, something I'd never known before Bella.

"Are you okay?" I asked her after a few moments of silence.

"I am, " she replied. She turned on her side and snuggled closer to me. "I had no idea it could be so good. Now I know what I've been missing, but I'm glad I waited. I'm glad it was with you, Edward."

"I'm glad too," I said, kissing her forehead. "I didn't know it could be like that either. In some ways that was a first for me too."

"And I was right, your piercing is way sexy.

"So you don't want me to take it out?"

"No way," she giggled then sighed and then became silent. Just as I was about to ask if she was okay, she spoke again. "Edward, I don't want you to think I'm saying this because we just had sex for the first time... but I..." she paused, "I think I'm falling in love with you." She exhaled like she had been holding it forever.

"I love you too, Bella," I grinned, "I think I fell in love with you the moment you poured me that first cup of coffee. I didn't think believed in love before I came here, but you made me believe. I love you so much."

"I love you, too."

She wiped a tear away from her eye and smiled at me. I pulled her closer so she could rest her head on my chest. We lay there for a bit longer before it was time for me to go.

"I wish you could stay," she muttered. She pulled on a pair of shorts and a tank top.

"I know, me too," I agreed as I zipped up my pants, "But I have a good thing going with your dad so far, I don't want him to shoot me, and I'm pretty sure he would if he found me here naked in his daughter's bed."

"Charlie likes you," she smiled. "I think you'd be fine."

"Not taking any chances." I pulled on my shirt and once my socks and shoes were back on, Bella walked me to the front door.

"I'm going to check out of the hotel around ten am and then head over to my... wow, to my parents house." I was surprised how easy it was to call Esme and Carlisle my parents. "Want to help me move into my digs?"

"Sure, I can do that after I'm done at the diner," she replied. She smiled back at me. "I"m glad you're going to be staying there, I think it will be good for all of you."

"I think so too."

I kissed her one last time and then left her house to spend my last night at the hotel. And as much as I was happy about that, I knew I still had to deal with what I'd left behind in Chicago.

That time was coming soon.

A/N: Well I guess no one saw that Hardware coming! *Snicker* I wanted to give Edward some control over something, and well he had it over his body. I think Bella liked it, I know I did.

Thanks to Pixie Kat for her amazing beta work, she's totally wonderful.

Next chapter will be soon. Story is starting to wind down, sad to say. And yes, Chicago is coming. That is going to be crazy!

Tell me your thoughts!

Much Love

XOXO
