Reviewers: Thanks a billion!

I try to put two chapters up sometimes but it never works out the way I want it to. Maybe I'll try harder next time. Sometimes when I read a story after it updates, it's frustrating to read one chapter at a time. I'm not knocking anyone who does that, but I thought I'd give you goodies of two chapters instead of one. Here's one for now.

Chapter 21: His Darlin

BPOV

I took a risk, revealing I wanted to take the ride with Jasper, since Alice refused to. In truth, I was a little scared, but also curious. My interest in the ride did change Alice's decision and she went for that ride with Jasper back to our place after breakfast. This is what I was doing, or helping, in my perspective, for Alice to take the chance of being with Jasper.

When Jasper was present, Alice was herself again. Somewhat. She seemed to holding herself back. She was always the outgoing, forward, bold type. I admired that about her and I took up some of her characteristics within myself to become this UnBella person that attacked Edward like there was no tomorrow. He was loving it, I knew he did. I loved it too, so she was here to stay. I got the man I longed for and he got both sides of Bella. A nice package, if I say so myself.

"Maybe I should get one," Edward said.

We were standing outside, admiring Jaspers motorcycle. Very sleek and sexy, shiny with chrome pipes everywhere. It excited me that Edward thought of buying a motorcycle like this. I could be that woman in the back, riding with him, holding him tightly. What a nice image.

"What do you think? Do you think it's a good idea?" Edward turned to ask me. He caught me in my distracted state and waved his hand in my face.

"Hmm? Oh, yes, if you want. It's your money," I told him, shrugging.

"It's a cruiser, so you can ride with me anytime," Edward's boyish smile was adorable.

"You haven't even bought it yet and look at you!" I teased him, my hand reaching out to poke his belly.

He hunched over from my touch. Edward ticklish? Hmm. The gears in my head started to turn and I thought it was freakin cute. A big, strong, sexy, man like Edward, ticklish? Too damn cute.

He grabbed my hand and pulled me to circle his arms around mine, holding me close to him, but keeping my hands away from his ticklish spots. Edward looked down at me and smiled, then bent his head to kiss me. I felt warmth radiating from my cheeks and I knew I was blushing. Damn him and his affect on me.

"I love you," I said with gentleness in my voice, after we parted from our kiss.

"You know you are my life now," Edward loosened his old on my arms and tucked one of my hairs behind my ear. Then his finger traced from the outline for my ear to the angle of my jaw to my chin where he lifted it to gaze at my face. "I love you."

We stood, cuddling, in a sort of swaying motion as we held each other. Moving with the slightest push of the breeze, like we were also one with it. It felt like forever that we held each other in comfort like this and it was absolutely perfect.

"I want to make love to you, Bella," Edward admitted.

I smiled, knowing that I wanted to the same thing, "tempting, but we have a guest," I said.

"I know," he sighed in disappointment, "let's go see how our guest is doing," Edward said, his eyes directing toward the house.

We both walked towards the house. My mind wandered to other subjects than what Edward was making me feel. Maybe it would help him to hold his off too, till later.

"What do you think of him?" I asked, curious to know what Edward thought of him.

"Who? Jasper?" Edward answered.

"Mm-hm."

"He seems like a good guy. Very polite. Mom would love him," Edward's crooked smile popped up onto his beautiful face.

"Yes she would," I agreed. "I like him. I think they look good together," we both put one arm around each other's waist, walking towards the front door.

We walked in silence, just reveling in each other's presence. I wanted to just sit and relax with Edward today. No going out, just spend time with him. What I really wanted was to hang out with my best friends today. Just like we used to. Alice, Edward, and I, and Jasper was more than welcome to join us. I liked staying at home and just enjoying each other's time. I wanted today to just be lazy and relax.

Until tonight.

I bit my lip and a mischievous grin crept up on my lips. I cast my face downward, so that Edward wouldn't catch my thoughts of naughty things. We reached the door and I took Edward's magnificent hand in mine and led him inside, opening the door. Entering the house, I could hear murmuring coming from Alice's room. Curious to what was going on, I walked down the hallway, with Edward still connected to my hand and knocked on Alice's open door before peeking my head in. Alice was sitting on the edge of her bed, one leg underneath her, the other dangling off the edge. Jasper was next to her, sitting in a relaxed manner, his hands resting behind him on Alice's bed. Alice had a look of contentment on her face as it was bent slightly to the side, listening to Jasper as he spoke.

"Hey guys. What'cha up to?" I asked. I walked in and Edward followed after me.

"We're just hanging out," Alice said. Jasper turned toward us after our entrance and gave us a smile.

"We're not interrupting anything, are we?" Edward asked, an apologetic expression on his face.

"No no, not at all. We were just talking," Alice told us.

A ring tone I didn't recognize chimed and Jasper pulled his phone out of his jacket pocket.

"Bueno," he answered.

The voice on the other side was loud, I could recognize that voice anywhere.

"Emmett, what's up bro?" Jasper sat up from Alice's bed. Jasper excused himself from us and walked out into the hallway.

Alice sighed, watching Jasper exit her room.

I gave her a one eye brow lift and smirked at her. Edward took it upon himself to lay himself on Alice's bed without permission. He poked Alice with his foot and pulled her out of her zone she was in.

"Oh my God, he's wonderful," Alice said breathlessly.

"My my Alice Cullen, I believe you are smitten," I teased.

Her eyes were soft while she glanced at me.

"Am I? Shit, my face feels all flushed. Look," Alice caught my hand in hers and put it upon her cheek. It was warm. I knew the all to well familiar feeling of my cheeks flushing because of Edward. My eyes widened to the fact that it was odd to see Alice act like a lovesick fool. Although, Alice wasn't a fool.

"Hey Bella, Emmett wants to talk to you," Jasper entered the room, holding his phone out to me.

Looking confused, I took his phone and put it to my ear, "Hello?"

"What is the purpose of having a cell phone when you don't even answer it Belly?" Emmett teased. I hated that name he called me sometimes.

"Maybe I just didn't want to talk to you," I came back.

I sat next to Edward and he scooted over just a bit to give me room. I put my hand on his thigh and looked at him. I wondered what he was thinking now that I was on the phone with Emmett. Edward put his hand on mine, his fingertips caressing my skin while I was in conversation with Emmett. He didn't seem mad or jealous, I was glad.

"I didn't know Jasper was hangin out with you today. I just called to see how he was feeling and I figured I'd say hi," Emmett said.

"What do you mean 'how he's feeling'?" I looked at Jasper with the same confused expression I had when I took the phone from him.

"Alice didn't tell you yet?" Emmett snickered.

"Uh, about what?" I had no idea what the hell Emmett was getting at.

"Oh shit!" Emmett's laughter boomed over the phone. Even Edward heard it, causing his eyebrows to rise with curiousness. "Alice was here early this morning, talking to Jasper. She decked his crown jewels with her foot!"

"What?! Why?"

Now all three heads turned to look at me.

"Ask her," Emmett said.

I looked at Alice and she gave me a hesitant look.

"I will. Here, I'll give you back to Jasper. Hey wait, you should come over later. We'll barbecue or something for dinner," I offered.

"Awesome, will do. Want me to bring anything?" Emmett asked.

"Just you, Demmit Emmett," I giggled at my stupid corny name I had for him.

"Ha-ha."

"Just come over at 4:30, kay dork?" I teased.

"Is it alright if I bring Rosalie along? I'll be getting off work at 5, so I'll be a little late."

"Sure, it's cool. See you later. Here's Jasper," with that, I handed Jasper back his phone. I turned to Alice and Edward and told them we needed to go grocery shopping for a barbecue.

"Yay! Are you going to make your yummy carne asada, Bella?" Alice said, clapping her hands in excitement. Edward chuckled at her.

"Yes, Alice. I will, just for you," I said with a baby voice, while tapping her nose with my finger.

"How come you don't talk to me like that?" Edward said with a whine.

I spun to look at him, his lips giving me a teasing pout.

"Because, it is only allowed for anyone four feet and under," I glanced quickly at Alice. Her mouth was gaping open with horror and she smacked me in the arm from my insult.

Edward's laugh roared and I rubbed the spot where the pain was starting to sting.

"You know I love ya, Alice," I couldn't help but giggle.

"Karma," Alice sang.

Jasper flipped his phone closed. He stared at us with no clue of what just happened.

"What did I miss?"

"What's this about Alice kicking you?" I asked him.

Jasper, embarrassed, chuckled hesitantly and looked to Alice.

"Uh.."

EPOV

"She kicked you?" I said with disbelief. My word emphasized on "kicked".

Oh, the poor bastard. Alice unleashed herself on Jasper. Alice was dangerous when she wanted to be. She seemed the innocent type to others' eyes, but I was her brother. I fucking knew better. Bella knew better too, she known her way too long.

"Leave him alone, Edward. I already apologized to him," Alice's face was completely straight with tension. Giving me the death glare with just her eyes.

"Please enlighten us with the story," Bella asked, sitting down next to me again, her voice animated with curiosity.

Alice bent her head in shame and placed it roughly in her hand, covering her face. She growled in frustration and I couldn't help but smile. This was going to be good.

"Why do you guys torture me so much?" She mumbled through her hand.

"It was my fault actually. I told her she could hit me and she did," Jasper told us.

"You allowed her to kick you in the balls?!" Bella exclaimed.

"What?? Jasper…" I exclaimed myself, I couldn't even find the words to finish what I wanted to say. Just thinking about it made my groin hurt.

"I don't want to get into this guys," Alice complained.

"It was well worth it. She's talking to me again," Jasper said with a gentleness in his voice. His eyes hovered towards Alice's bent head and she lifted it up to look at him. They both smiled and Alice's irritation disappeared.

"Wait," I asked, sitting up from my relaxed position.

"Shut up, Edward!" Alice's irritation returned. She slapped my thigh and I bent my leg up, murmuring an "ouch".

"It's okay, Alice. They need to know what happened before Emmett butchers the story before they hear the whole of it," Jasper spoke.

"This is true," Bella nodded her head.

I couldn't wait to hear all of it. Alice threw herself backwards on the bed. She was completely embarrassed. This was priceless! I've never seen Alice act so… abnormal. Jasper approached her and took her hand, pulling her upwards to stand in front of him. Alice's eyes were lost. Jasper had her hooked.

"I said some things to Alice that wasn't very nice and she didn't want to see me again," Jasper started. Jasper's expression was of apology as he studied Alice's face. "I fucked up, I'm sorry," he apologized to Alice.

"You're forgiven," Alice forgave him with a winkle at the corner of her eyes, smiling at Jasper with only her eyes.

Bella and I stayed hushed, completely enthralled in Jasper's tale. Jasper drew her closer, holding her in his hands. He was much taller than her and his head strained downward to look at her, as Alice's did to look up at him.

"I fucked up too," Alice said. I watched Alice's face with confusion to what they were talking about. "I know I already apologized, but I'm sorry Jasper… again."

"I forgive you too, darlin," Jasper returned.

It was as if Bella and I were not present in the room with them. They were so lost in each other. I glanced at Bella and she had a content smile on her beautiful face. She looked very happy for Alice. I looked back at the couple and it reminded me how Bella and I were. I would have to get used to this, seeing Jasper around often, because it looked like they were going to be inseperable.

Being Alice's brother, I was sometimes protective of the guys that Alice spoke to, when we were kids, but could handle her own shit. She was oddly strong for such a tiny person, but something in me told me Jasper was a good person and he was good for Alice. He seems to calm her in ways I thought impossible.

"So, you said she could hit you and she kicked you in the nads," it wasn't a question, it was a statement. My words were laced with subtle astonishment.

"Yep."

"What did you say to make her so mad?" Bella started to get nosey.

Alice haze of distraction vanished from Bella's question, making it obvious again that she didn't want to bring up this subject. Jasper saved the day.

"I don't mean to be rude, Bella darlin, but that is something I rather not mention," Jasper's head spun slowly to tell Bella.

"Call me darlin again and I'll forgive you," Bella smiled teasingly.

My Bella, flirty? I should be jealous, but it just flared my craving to have her in my arms again.

"Nope, he's off limits Bella. I'm his only darlin," Alice said smugly. Jasper chuckled.

Alice was back.

***

We left Alice and Jasper to their privacy while I dragged Bella back to my room, where it was the farthest from Alice's room. I wanted to get her alone so I could attack her, even if it was for a few minutes. I wanted to be constantly drowning in Bella. In the confinement of my room, I kissed her, cupping her face. Bella's hands were on mine and she returned the passion of my kiss, moving her hands to my stubble of facial hair.

"We can't," Bella whispered.

"I know, dammit, I know. I just wanted to kiss you," I whined quietly.

We continued our kiss, our mouths moving in unison, dancing together in a harmonious beat. It was wonderful just to taste Bella, such rich sweetness. Her velvet lips, my God. I didn't know if I could hold myself back to getting fully aroused. I know I was hard already, but if I was completely hard, I wouldn't be able to control myself and would just attack her. Rude or not.

"Maybe we should stop," Bella mentioned.

I sighed in frustration. I had to walk away, pinching the bridge of my nose, then running my hand through my hair.

"Are you alright?" Bella asked apologetically. She knew I was not alright, but the caring person she was, she asked anyway.

"No," I said a little roughly to her, to my surprise. "Look at me."

I turned around and my erection was a distinguishable outline against my pants. Bella looked down at it and her eyes became the haze of lust. I would feel guilty for being a little snappy with her, but the look she was giving my hard on, it made it harder to feel conscience-stricken. My conscience was horny too and was telling me to fuck her.

Shut the fuck up.

I told it.

Don't make it harder on both of us as it already is.

I love Bella. She was a seductive feline, attacking her prey with no warning. That's how it seemed when she was upon me, pushing me against the wall of my room, kissing me with vigor. Her hand was instantly at my prick and I groaned at the touch.

"Be quiet or they'll hear you, Edward," Bella's voice was low and raspy.

I clenched my teeth together and breathed heavily through my nose, obeying Bella. I loved when she became dominant. Her eyes never left mine as she bent down, her hand still over my crotch, caressing my erection through the fabric. With smooth quickness, she unbuckled my belt and unloosened my button and zipper within seconds. This was no time to be teasing, there were other people in the house, Bella was doing this to kill my damn frustration. She pulled the restraining fabric of my boxer briefs out of the way and dove in to shove me into her mouth.

"Dammit," I cursed with as much quietness as I could.

My head cocked back and I squeezed my eyes shut. Too much stimulation if I watched her. I wouldn't be able to be quiet. Though, the feeling of warmth surrounding my cock was amazing and that was overwhelming. I clenched my jaw harder, fisting my hands into her hair.

"Bella.." I whispered.

I was already close. Bella's hand stroked my shaft while her mouth slipped over the top half of my cock, suckling at my head. Then she slipped all she could into her mouth, causing me to open my mouth to let out a breathy huff of air. Fuckin A, I wanted Bella.

"I want you, Bella," I whispered.

Bella was wordless. She stood up and unbutton her jeans, shoving them off her legs, along with her panties. I dashed my pants completely off too and sat on the floor, opening the nightstand next to my bed, donning a condom. I didn't want to use the bed, it would be too noisy to how much I wanted to fuck Bella so badly. I waited for Bella to come to me. She sat on top of me, rubbing herself with her fingers while I aimed myself underneath her. One fluid motion is all it took for us to be joined and we groaned quietly. She stilled me while she lifted her tshirt to unclasp her bra and pull it up to reveal her breasts to me. My hands went to her waist and I started to grind against her, Bella rocking back and forth, holding onto her breasts. Our eyes never left each other as we made love on the floor, kissing with passion, as much as our lovemaking.

Bella's eyes started to wrinkle into the familiar expression of her climax approaching. She rose to her knees just a little and I bucked underneath her, closing in on my own orgasm. The bed close by, Bella grabbed the comforter on the bed and stuffed it against her mouth, to stifle her moans. I noticed her biting it. Her body started to bounce along with me as I gave it to her. Then, her body shuddered and she pulled me tightly against her as her high hit her. The clenching of her muscles caused me to have my own and I stifled my own groan from escaping by attaching my mouth to her neck, sucking Bella's skin into my mouth. I nibbled softly and then it came.

"Mm!" I groaned shortly against her neck as my high finally hit its peak.

I unlatched my mouth on her skin and noticed the red mark I left. I hope she didn't mind. She didn't stop me. For a long moment, we were still joined, breathing steadily to catch our breaths. Bella's embrace on me loosened and she moved to kiss me passionately on the lips, but with gentleness I rarely saw when we made love. I would have to properly make love to her again later. We both needed it, I was certain.

"That was nice," I said.

"Yes, yes it was, but damn," she exclaimed quietly.

"A nice quickie to hold me off for a while," I mentioned.

"So that's a quickie. I think I like them," Bella's half smile was adorable.

"I like you," I told her, giving her a quick kiss on the lips.

"You flatter me, Mr. Cullen," Bella played at me with fluttery lashes.

I chuckled.

"Oh don't laugh! I might attack you again," Bella whimpered.

I forgot we were still joined and she stood up to disconnect us. How was I going to get to the bathroom without being seen? There was no towel in my room and I sat there, awkward in my situation. I gave Bella a face and she hers expressed into something of sympathy.

"I'll check if the coast is clear," Bella said, helping me up. She put just her jeans back on and opened the door a crack to check.

In seconds, she was back, telling me the coast was clear. I grabbed my jeans and rushed towards the bathroom, half naked. Thank goodness the bathroom was closer to my room, just outside the door. Bella knocked on the door lightly, but it made me jump anyhow.

"Hey, we'll go to the store. Pick the stuff up for the barbecue later. I'm gonna go tell Alice we're leaving," She mumbled through the door.

"Okay. I'll be out in five minutes."

While Edward cleaned himself up, I took the chance to put my panties back on. Just to tell Alice we were going to leave. When I walked to her bedroom door, it was closed, and I felt awkward knocking on it. I knew I'd be intruding if I knocked.

To hell with that! She interrupted us once, it's my turn!

But… Alice did not know what we were doing and I knew what they were doing. The door was closed. I'm not stupid. Still, the chance to pass it up was not acceptable and I knocked with animation.

"Alice," I called out through the door.

"Uh, just a second!" She answered.

Uh huh. I knew it.

I smiled to myself. I felt evil, but I then I felt like I was doing her a favor by telling her Edward and I were leaving. I wasn't going to tell Edward. Why bother him with such things? It was his sister. He wouldn't want to know anyway.

"I'm just letting you know that we're leaving. Going to the grocery store for the stuff. We'll be back later," I said a little loudly.

"Oh, okay. See you later then," Alice returned quickly. I heard a rustling noise at the other side of the door.

"Bye Jasper," I said.

"Bye Bella."

I walked away, making sure my footsteps could be heard. I went to my room and grabbed a clean pair of panties and my purse. I met Edward at the door of his room and I told him to wait for me in my truck, handing him my keys.

"Isn't Alice and Jasper coming?" Edward asked with wariness.

"Nope. It's just you and me. We all wouldn't be able to fit in one car anyway," I mentioned. It was true. My truck could only hold two people and Alice's car could fit four, but what was the point?

Edward shrugged and said, "okay." He kissed me quickly and headed out the door without a glance towards Alice's room.

With that, I went to the bathroom to freshen up.

Don't forget to review! I love them almost as much as I love Edward. Sorry, I know reviews take a backburner to Edward, but COME ON! It's Edward.
