BELLA

I took a deep breath and looked up into Edward's smirking face. He thought I was going to blush and look away, I could tell from the cocky, self-assured look on his face. I knew from the second Alice gave me the choice of these two particular colours that I would get asked if I was feeling 'hot hot hot.' I initially thought it would've come out of Emmett's smart-ass mouth, but obviously not.

Everyone at the table was looking at me expectantly. The girls with looks of encouragement, the boys with looks of hesitation. Was I going to come out with the perfect one liner, or was I going to wimp out, stutter, blush and look away?

I looked back into Edwards's gorgeous eyes. He raised an eyebrow expectantly at me, silently issuing the challenge. I channelled my inner Rose and repeated my mantra to myself. I am a strong, sexy desirable woman and I deserve to be happy and loved.

I took one last breath, tilted my head in what I hoped was a sexy fashion and looked up at Edward from under my lashes, heavy with mascara. "You bet I am, big boy. If you're lucky you might just find out how hot a little later."

I tried to keep the rising red down from my cheeks and held Edward's gaze instead of looking away like I really wanted to. I looked into those gorgeous emerald green eyes and watched as the pupils got larger and seemed to smoulder. I've always thought 'smouldering eyes' was a Mills & Boon line but I was in fact witnessing smouldering eyes first hand, and they were fucking hot. Panty scorching toe numbing hot. Fuck I was in trouble.

The hand he had on the nape of my neck faltered for a second before recovering, and going back to the gentle caresses which were making me hot for him. I was feeling pretty good about myself as I had stunned him into silence. I gave him a little wink, which cause his eyes to widen a little before a small groan escaped from his lips.

I quickly glanced at the girls, I was pretty sure that was a 'fuck I want some of that' groan rather than a 'oh fuck, what have I done' groan. From the way the girls had grins like the Cheshire cat plastered on their faces, and the boys were looking at me with a new-found respect I knew that it had been the former.

Rose gave me a little nod of encouragement as if to say 'what are you waiting for girl, bring him to his knees.'

"I don't know about you guys, but I'm going to get some food." I announced, while pushing my chair back and standing up. "I need to keep my strength up for later," I looked directly down at Edward," if you know what I mean."

Before I could blush and ruin the whole effect, I shimmied out from between mine and Edwards' chairs, purposefully giving him an eyeful of my enhanced cleavage. I headed towards the buffet table.

I could tell from the flurry of activity behind me that the girls were hot on my heels. I totally needed a girl talk to regroup, and get their opinion on what had just transpired.

"Mary on a marshmallow, Bella!" Alice squealed, as they descended on either side of me. I gave her waiting fist a bump without even breaking my stride. "That was amazing. I thought he was going to scoop you up, throw you over his shoulder caveman-style and take you straight upstairs."

The image Alice painted made me a little breathless, I wanted that to happen. I almost felt a little disappointed that I had told Edward that I didn't want to jump into bed right away, but it was a women's prerogative to change her mind, right?

"Nice job Bella, I couldn't have done it better myself" Rose added. "I liked how you added the wink at the end, and the eyeful of boob - pure genius." Her hand fluttered to her chest. "My baby girl is growing up, I have taught you well," she gushed like a proud parent and I smiled a little as I basked in her lavish praise. The old Bella was finally surfacing out from under all the crap James had piled on top of me and I had to admit I was loving every minute of it.

"Now, what are you going to do to seal the deal?" she asked.

I hadn't really thought that far ahead, I was kinda hoping after my suggestive comments that I could leave the rest up to him. It was how I had always done it in the past and I'd never had any problems. Let them you know you like them and want to hook up, and then the ball's in their court. But, I didn't want this to be the same as the other times (not that there had been many). I wanted this time to be fantastic.

I looked Rose in the eye - which was not that easy as we were still walking towards the buffet table. "I want this party to be four or five hours of fantastic, sexy, drawn out foreplay. I want him to want me so bad that he throws out those sexy fucking 'come do me' groans on a regular basis. I want him to be unable to keep his hands off me, even while he's eating. I want him to want to push me against that wall and ravish me. I want him to want to pulverise any other guys that so much as look at me."

We arrived at the buffet line and, anxious to not be overheard, I stopped what I was saying. I had also gotten myself a little turned on and was feeling a little breathless and flustered. I turned to look at the girls who had stopped behind me.

"So, do you think you can help me do that?" I asked them, one brow raised. They looked at me a little dumbly, mouths slightly agape, breathing a little hard themselves. I had never seen them like this, and frankly it had me a little concerned. Usually they would have been all over me with suggestions and one liners to throw in but this time, nothing.

I looked at them in exasperation, and then realisation dawned. "You think I'm being unrealistic, don't you?" I asked, not waiting for an answer. "You think that I can't do all that foreplay, ravishing, 'can't keep his hands off me' shit don't you?" I brought my hands up to my face in embarrassment." I can't do it, can I?" I repeated meekly to myself. I had gone and got all cocky. Here I was thinking that I was this sexy desirable woman when really I was out of my depth. I was just a small fish in a big pond, and I was drowning.

Alice was the first to snap out of whatever stupor they were in. "I can't answer for Rose but I couldn't speak earlier for two reasons, firstly because I was a little turned on from what you said," she blushed a little, "and secondly, I have never in the 12 years we have know each other, heard you talk like this about a man. I was a little stunned."

I stared at her, a little stunned myself.

Rose spoke next. "I totally agree with what Alice said on both counts, and I know you can do it" she said emphatically. "So, stop having whatever shitty little self-doubting inner monologue I know you have going on in there and listen up." She raised a brow and waited for me to nod before she continued.

"You've accomplished two of those things already" she said with a smirk, any traces of the earlier stupor gone.

What was she talking about, I hadn't done any of those things. Sure, I had pounced him at the beach but that was strictly G-rated, ok, maybe PG-rated - there had been some grinding and some ass-grabbage. And what a fine ass it was too. I began to think of all the things I was looking forward to doing, then fully processed what she had said.

"What do you mean I have already done two of them?" I demanded. "Explain yourself, woman!" I used the same tone Emmett had earlier.

Alice giggled, her hand at her mouth and eyes wide. "She has too!" she breathed. "She has done two of those things without even trying!"

I looked to Rose again, waiting for her explanation.

"Did you notice that Edward is right handed?" she asked, I thought about it for a second as I hadn't really been paying attention. I looked at her blankly. She shook her head in that 'poor, unobservant Bella' way that I was used to.

"Well anyway, he is" she continued, "and did you happen to notice that his right hand was curled very suggestively and possessively around the nape of your neck?" I looked at her, still a little confused about where this was heading.

"Jesus, Bella! Do I have to spell it all out for you?" she asked in exasperation. "Edward is right handed. This means, like 99% of the male population, he drinks his beer with his dominant hand. His right hand, she repeated pointedly. His right hand that was earlier draped around your neck doing naughty things to you, judging by the look on your face. He had to use his left hand to drink. You wanted him want you so much that he couldn't keep his hands off you even to eat, well he does."

I wasn't really convinced, so he drank his beer with his left hand, big deal.

"You said two things, what's the other?" I asked, still not convinced the first one was really legit.

"I get to explain this one" Alice interjected. Rose gestured to her to take the floor.

"You wanted him to want to pulverise any other guy that as much as looks at you. Well if you remember about two minutes ago, he wanted to jump out of his chair and rip the still-beating heart out of that sex on legs waiter who brought our drinks over. He was practically vibrating with jealously!" she said gleefully.

"Ok I suppose I will give you that one, but how do I get him to do all the other knee-trembling, panty-melting stuff I want him to?" I asked the girls in an almost half whine.

The couple in front of us in the slow moving line turned at my mention of panties, we all gave a little giggle.

Rose leaned in and started whispering a few suggestions that had me glad she was whispering.

Alice interrupted us with a tug to my sleeve. "Whatever you are suggesting, you better make it quick as the Bronze God and his panty-melting posse are heading this way."

EDWARD

We sat at the table and watched as the three girls strutted those fine asses away. I was still a little shocked as Jasper started to talk. "You have really got your hands full with that one, it's like she's all sweetness and light one second, then all dirty and nasty the next."

"The dirty and nasty is hot dude, she got you good!" Em added. I shot him a 'watch it' look and we all lapsed back into silence for a minute as I processed what they had both said.

It was true, some of the time Bella was quite shy and didn't really speak much and then it was almost like a switch was flipped. She comes out with stuff like that 'keeping up her energy for later' comment. I was confused, a little stunned and fucking turned on.

I rearranged my uncomfortably erect cock in my shorts, pushed my chair back and stood up. "Gentlemen," I addressed the other two, "I don't know about you guys but I'm going to get my smokin' hot girl and mark my territory before any Fabio waiter can get his slimy hands on her."

They both pushed their chairs back and joined me as we walked towards the buffet and our trio of women. We could see them in profile as we walked, Rosalie was whispering into Bella's ear and I was instantly interested to know what she was saying. My interest piqued when I saw Bella blush and her eyes widen at what Rose was saying. Alice then noticed our approach and they straightened up, all conversation stopped.

Bella watched my approach with a look on her face like she wanted to eat me, fuck it was hot. I let my pace slow and a smirk that I hoped oozed sex appeal spread across my face. I wanted to scoop her up and have her wrap her arms around my neck and her legs around my waist.

We reached the girls as they got to the front of the buffet line. Bella turned with three plates in her hands and a smirk on her face. She faced Emmett and handed him a plate. "For you, GI Joe." He laughed and took the plate she offered. She handed the next one to Jasper. "For you, Guitar Guy," he responded with a gentlemanly bow and wink at Alice. Bella turned to face me a big smile on her face and the last plate outstretched on her palms, "for you, Edward" she purred.

I took the plate and raised my eyebrows, "What, no nickname for me?" I was secretly a little pissed that she had used pet names for the other guys and not for me. She raised her eyebrows back and beckoned to me. I moved slightly closer to her and she moved forward to close the small gap I had left between us. She stood on her tip toes, wrapped her hand around the back of my head and pulled my face down to hers.

She turned her head and whispered in my ear. "The only nicknames I have for you are not appropriate for polite company." My eyes widened a little. "I'm saving them all for when we are alone later, in your suite." Her tongue then flicked out of her mouth and licked my earlobe, I hissed and she hummed a little in approval then drew my lobe fully into her mouth and sucked it. Just as I was starting to enjoy it she stopped and released her arm from the back of my head. As she took a step away she playfully slapped my ass.

"Let's get some food. I'm famished" and she spun on her heel and walked up behind the others, leaving me in her wake and gobsmacked. Well fuck me ten ways 'til Sunday, this girl was going to be the death of me.

I followed the line at the buffet, randomly grabbing food, heaping my plate high. There was bound to be something on there that I liked. I kept my eye focused on Bella as she interacted with the others, teasing the boys about the amount of food on their plates and joking with the girls. She would fit in so well with our group at home, all three of the girls would. It was a shame this would probably end when the holiday was over, my heart sank at the thought. I wondered if there was any chance I could possibly see Bella again when we got home.

"I'm glad to see you have your plate piled high" a sexy voice breathed in my ear as I waited at the BBQ for my burger to be finished. I looked down and saw Bella standing at my elbow. She looked up at me through those lashes and I felt something slide up my back under my shirt and rub slowly up and down my back.

"If I have my way with you tonight, which we both know I am going to, you will be glad you ate all that you did." At the end of her sentence her hand slid down and gave my ass a little squeeze before she turned and melted into the crowd, leaving me standing there. It took all the self control I possessed not to drop my plate and run after her.

I knew what she was up to, trying to get me all worked up in this public place where she felt safe enough to do it without it getting too serious too quickly. I let her have all the power up until now and if that was what she needed to feel comfortable and let me make her mine, then I would allow her to continue to do so. I just wanted to let her know that I knew exactly what she was doing.

As I sat down at the table, I accidently on purpose let my hard cock brush against her shoulder, just enough to show her exactly what she was doing to me. She quickly looked up at me, her eyes wide and surprised. I sat down and leaned in close to her so my lips were next to her ear.

"Do you feel what you do to me gorgeous?" I whispered huskily in her ear. "Nod if you do." She hesitated a little then gave a small nod. "Now, nod again if you intend to keep doing this to me all evening." She quickly nodded again, this time a knowing smirk spreading over her face. "This time you can either nod again or shake your head, but I want you to be honest and there is no pressure either way ok?" I felt her stiffen and I was pretty sure she had an idea of what I was going to say next, so I took a quick breath and laid all my cards out on the table.

"I want you so badly it's taking all of my self control not to do all the things I have running through my head right now. Want me to tell you? I asked, remember you can say yes or no." She nodded before I could even finish asking. I chuckled and continued.

"The first thing is to pick you up, throw you on the table and ravish your senseless regardless of all these onlookers." I paused for a second and let that sink in a bit, her breath hitched and she opened her mouth to speak but nothing came out.

"Do you want to keep playing this game?" I asked, "yes or no." She nodded yes again. "Well then, you eat and I'll talk, we want to have your strength for later now, don't we?" I said using the same line she had to me earlier. She nodded again.

I sat back for a minute to take a few mouths of food, chewed and swallowed then was back at her ear. "I can't wait until it we dance so I can have my body pressed against yours and hold you close. Do you want that?" She nodded.

"I was so jealous of that waiter hitting on you before, it took all I had not to beat him to a pulp. Did you know that?" She hesitated for a second then nodded. "Did it turn you on?" She looked quickly to Alice who was trying to catch her attention, blushed and looked away and then nodded again.

'So far so good' I thought; time to bring in the big guns. "Do you like it when I touch you?" I asked. She nodded very enthusiastically. I brought my hand to the back of her neck, "like this?" I asked. She hummed a little, her eyes slid half-shut and she nodded.

"What about this?" I asked, as I reached my tongue out and licked her ear followed by a small nip of her earlobe. She gave a little moan. I stopped what I was doing. "You need to tell me yes or no, Bella" I reminded her, and a small "yes" hissed from her gorgeous lips. I resumed my stroking.

Fuck, I was getting turned on. I had to stop this before I got too carried away so I asked her one last question.

A/N I would say sorry for the cliffy but I would be lying. I'm not sorry at all.

Last week I rec'd a fic called Died and gone to Heaven and I said it was still in progress, turns out I lied. It is actually complete and fucking amazing. Go read it. I might have peed just a little while I was laughing reading this. Don't judge I have had two children really close together and this fic is really funny.

I'm on the hunt for more colourful phrases to use and would love some ideas. I_heart_Fifty only just let me get away with 'fuck me running' two chapters ago and we don't want to push her over the edge.

Big love being sent to Aaron Peckhan this week, the founder of Urban Dictionary (www(dot)urbandictionary(dot)com. It is my new favourite place to find stuff and provided the definitions for 'ken doll' and 'GI Joe' in last weeks post. Some of the stuff on there would make you have a laughasm (definition: a laughing fit which boarders on the orgasmic). I spend way too much time on there…..

Reviews are better than having Edward rub his cock against your shoulder. Te he he

See you next week
