CHAPTER 21
OPERATION CUNNILINGUS
A/N—If you don't know what cunnilingus is, don't worry. Professor Emmett will soon be giving us all a lesson. There is some crass language and slang used in this chapter. If that offends you simply don't read. Thanks for everyone who has been reading and reviewing to date. This is so much fun and your kind words is what makes me abandon my work in favor of writing updates.
The next week passes by quickly. With Alice's help, I have been busy creating the perfect trip to Universal Studios. Classes next Monday are canceled due to Columbus Day. Because I want to maximize my time alone with Bella, I am going to propose that we attend the Halloween Horror Nights event in Orlando, Florida. It is just like the Hollywood event and we could fly on a private jet which I have already taken the liberty of reserving. I have arranged for a VIP tour for us. Bella will get the royal treatment. And make no mistake, it will not be a family vacation. Jasper, Alice and Tanya are going to come down with the flu the day we leave.
We don't have to be back until Monday. I have something special planned for Sunday but I need to get Bella's approval and I plan to discuss it with her when I see her today in class.
Tanya has been an unexpected godsend. She has been so supportive and seems almost personally invested in helping me get Bella back. She strategically shows up with me for classes but only occasionally. I was serious when I said I did not want Bella to get the wrong idea but I will admit to noticing and enjoying the fact that on the days Tanya accompanies me, Bella is just a little bit more attentive. For example, yesterday Tanya accompanied me to our torts class only and Bella reached out and touched my arm four times and even held my hand as we walked to the library together.
Part of me felt like I was taking advantage of Tanya when she was heartbroken and needed support. However, when I told her of my concern, she scoffed and said that helping me gives her hope that she will someday have a second chance at love. I really hope she does get that chance. She is a great woman. Not as great as my Bella, but pretty good.
It is Wednesday and that means four classes with my Bella today. God, I love law school. I have to enjoy my classroom time with her because my sisters are stealing her away from me to go shopping for the trip this afternoon. Alice told me there wasn't much hope of Bella buying high heels for the trip as that is not practical amusement park attire.
After our last class of the day, I walk with Bella to the parking garage, knowing that Alice and Rosalie are waiting there for her.
"Bella, I need to talk to you about this weekend. You know the Universal Studios in Orlando has Halloween Horror Nights too. And our family has a vacation home in Orlando." Or we will once Alice closes escrow on it tomorrow but I leave this little detail out.
"So I was thinking that if you wanted, we could fly to Orlando instead."
"Orlando? That would be too much, too expensive," Bella protests.
"Bella please let me. This is my vacation too. And I will only enjoy it if you are there. You said you would let Alice and I handle everything."
Bella smiles and says, "Okay. I won't argue. And Orlando does sound very nice." She has become much more gracious at accepting gifts than when we had dated.
"I think it will be perfect. We will fly and arrive in Orlando on Friday night. We can spend Saturday at Universal Studios and then I thought we could arrange for your mother to visit on Sunday. Jacksonville is only two hours away from there."
She visibly stiffens when I mention her mother.
"I thought you would want to see your mom," I say with a questioning tone.
"Yeah, of course. I would love to see my mom."
"Great. Just give Alice her number and she will make all of the arrangements."
"Okay." she says but not with a lot of enthusiasm. That is strange.
I see her off safely with my sisters and then return to the library. I stay late at school, doing research for Bella's human rights law paper. I plan to surprise her with it one day next week when she gripes about all of the research she needs to do.
When I arrive home that night, the girls have returned from their shopping trip after dropping Bella off at her apartment. My parents and Tanya have been out hunting all day and are not expected back until tomorrow. All of my siblings are gathered around the dining room table as if they are having a family meeting. I try to focus in on their thoughts in an effort to ascertain what is going on that has everyone gathered at the meeting table.
Jasper is clearly in complete military mode. He gets this way when he is planning something important. He was an officer in the Confederate army during the civil war. His tendency to attack a problem with military like precision and strategy is a trait he has carried over from his human days. He is trying to put some sort of plan together in his mind and he is thinking of military strategies and terms such as "element of surprise", "isolate and conquer", and "use of superior equipment and skills."
I am now worrying and flash into the dining room. "What's wrong? What's going on?" Everyone looks at me and their thoughts reveal excited anticipation for me and Bella. Alice is actively hiding her thoughts per her usual behavior of late.
Dude you are so lucky you have us. You are in for the thrill of your young virgin life! Emmett's thoughts are the first to assault me.
"Will somebody explain what has you all excited and planning?"
"This better not be about Emmett's sex toys," I say with exasperation.
Jasper rises and stands like he is a commanding officer in the military. "At approximately 1800 hours, Rosalie obtained information from Bella that we think it going to turn this thing around for you. It is going to give you the advantage over Julian you have been looking for."
"Let me tell him! I am the one that Bella told," Rosalie interjects. She is singing in her head so that I cannot see what exactly Bella told her.
"Tell me now," I growl.
"Okay, well after this afternoon's shopping trip we took Bella back to her apartment. Julian wasn't there and we stayed a while helping Bella put away her new things and for you know--girl talk.
I stop listening to her because I can now see the conversation she is referring to as it replays in Rosalie's mind:
Bella is laying on her bed and Rosalie is laying perpendicular to her and they are chatting about men in general. Alice it appears is busy going through Bella's closet. Rosalie is telling Bella a story about the first time Carlisle walked in on her while Emmett was pleasuring Rosalie orally.
"How could you not hear Carlisle coming with your vampire hearing?" Bella is laughing but there is a disbelieving and horrified edge to her tone.
"It's just the same for us as it is for humans. When Emmett goes down on me, I can't tell you my full name. Are you telling me you'd know if Carlisle was in the same room with you when Julian is tasting your pie?" Rosalie laughs and intends the question to be rhetorical but Bella's facial expression wavers with uncertainty and something else I can't readily identify. Longing maybe?
"Um, well....actually, I wouldn't know."
"What?" Rosalie exclaims.
"Uh, yeah....Julian doesn't do that."
"Why the hell not?" Rosalie asks.
Bella shrugs and says softly, looking at the comforter on the bed and picking away imaginary lint, "he says it turns him off, not his thing I guess."
The vision abruptly ends as Rosalie finishes telling her story, recapping the conversation.
"I don't understand? This is what you have all gathered to discuss? Other than being relieved there is at least one way Julian has not forced his vile self upon Bella, I don't see what there is to discuss. And this would embarrass Bella immeasurably if she knew you were all sitting around talking about it," I admonish.
Jasper speaks up. "Edward, you don't understand. This is a major short coming on Julian's part. He has shown a vulnerability and you my brother can move in and take advantage of that weakness."
Rosalie speaks up. "Edward, trust me on this. There is no woman who doesn't want to be pleasured orally by a man with a good technique. It's what makes our eyes roll back in our heads, makes us hear and see fireworks, and is the primary reason we put up with men in the first place."
"Rosalie's right. I can't believe this guy thinks he is some sort of sex god when he can't even nuzzle some fuzz," Emmett says.
"Maybe I'm missing something here. I fail to see how Julian not performing cunnilingus is somehow going to win me back Bella."
"Cunning what? Dude, we're talking about eating pussy. I'm sorry, I thought you read about this when you were doing all of that research. Do we need to back up and explain what eating pussy means?" Emmett asks so solicitously.
"I. Know. What. You. Are. Talking. About," I tell Emmett through gritted teeth. "Cunnilingus is the proper term for stimulating a woman's genitals with the use of your mouth and tongue."
"Yeah, that sounds hot," Emmett says dryly.
Jasper cuts in, "Edward, you are going to make sure Bella knows you are willing to perform oral sex. That will give her something to think about. And then when she comes looking to test you to see if you are in fact willing to do that, you are going to give her the best sexual experience of her life. That will completely nullify the one strategic advantage Julian has had to date—his sexual prowess."
Emmett adds, "And this is the best part. Jasper and I are going to teach you the proper technique so when Bella calls your bluff, you will rock her world so good she will be saying Julian who. The girls are going to talk to you about setting the mood, seduction and all of that girlie shit. Man, I am telling you Bella will be all over you."
I like the idea of Bella being all over me. I am a little surprised but in a good way. I can't say I am not just a bit fascinated by the idea of performing such an intimate act upon Bella. Using my mouth and tongue to stimulate her and bring her to an orgasm is not an unpleasant idea in the least. Especially if she is wearing those black high heels.
Jasper brings me out of my reverie. "Listen, timing is everything. We have to start your training right away. You have only a small window of opportunity which is this weekend . That is your chance to be alone with Bella and away from Julian for a period of time that is long enough to properly seduce her."
"Jesus Jasper. You make it sound like a military operation."
Emmett speaks up, "It is Dude. We even named it Operation Edward Eats Pussy--Finally."
I hiss and growl. "Can we please keep this dignified?" I ask, angered at his crass language.
"Edward I think dignity left the building when you started whacking off in public restrooms." The others start chuckling at Emmett's mention of my unfortunate bookstore incident. "It was only once you idiot. You make it sound like I'm going all over town masturbating in every public washroom facility I find."
Emmett is trying to control his laughter. "Okay, we'll call it Operation Cunnilingus. Better?"
I can live with that. I nod in agreement. "Okay then. Put those law books away and step into my office. Your first lesson starts tonight," Emmett says with glee. Professor Emmett is back.
