I hope you guys like this chapter it's pretty long.
36 EPOV
The play was absolutely hilarious just as Bella had said. I hadn't laughed that hard in a long time. My brother's were very skeptical that they would enjoy the play but had agreed to go because they thought Alice and Rosalie might like to go. Emmett was never one to like live theatre but he loved the play with his booming laughter echoing throughout the theatre and his play by play that he was giving us as we walked back to the hotel.
"I am defiantly going to see that play again if it ever comes to Seattle," he said enthusiastically.
"I agree," Rosalie and Alice said at the same time and they laughed.
"That was a good play Edward," Jasper said, "Thank you for convincing Emmett and I to go."
"No problem," I said grinning as we exited the elevator to our floor. "See you in the morning," I said curling my arms around Bella's waist and towed her over to our room.
I opened the door and we went in. I kissed her neck before I headed over to the phone and dialed room service. "What are you doing?" Bella asked as she removed her coat and draped it over the chair by the table.
"Crème Brulee," I grinned and she grinned at me making my heart start to race.
"Room service, what can we do for you Mr. Cullen?" a female voice asked.
"Yes we'd like an order of crème brulee and a plate of strawberries," I said winking at Bella and I heard a whimper escape her lips making a great majority of my blood flow straight to my dick which in turn made my pants tight and slightly uncomfortable.
"We'll have that up to you in 10 minutes, Mr. Cullen," the lady said.
"Thank you," I said and hung up the phone.
Bella came up to me wrapping her arms around my neck, "I love you," she said kissing me softly which I deepened it holding her tightly against my body.
I broke away bending down picking her up bridal style and brought her into the bathroom. "I love you too," I said placing her back on her feet and started the water in the tub.
"What exactly do you have planned Mr. Cullen?" she asked seductively grabbing me by the belt loops and pulled me close up against her.
"Warm bath, massage and crème brulee," I grinned, "Followed by my favorite… strawberries."
Her hands traveled up underneath my shirt delicately gliding across my abs and chest making me shiver in anticipation. "I will never grow tired of you," she said kissing my Adam's apple.
"I sincerely hope not," I said wrapping my arms around her and kissed her with all the love I had. I loved the feel of her wonderful mouth on mine. I hoped that she meant what she said about never growing tired of me. I would strive for the rest of my life to do anything and everything for her. I wanted her for always. I had originally planned to ask her to marry me on New Year's. I had everything planned out to its last detail having bought her ring while she was at Charlie's. I wanted everything to be perfect so that the only answer that would ever grace her delicate lips was the word 'Yes'.
But then Rosalie turned out to be pregnant and Emmett had bought her that ring. I was happy for him that she wasn't planning on leaving him for another guy like he had feared. Her hesitation in the bedroom sometimes along with her not drinking any more alcohol had scared him at the time and I can't believe that I never put things together and realized that she was pregnant. Bella and Alice seemed to figure it out even before Rosalie did it sounded like. I really wished that she would have told me what was going on but I also saw her point and it really wouldn't be fair to Emmett if Jasper and I knew before he did.
Girls were good about keeping secrets. They really could drive you crazy with them too. Alice and Jasper's situation plagued me slightly. Who the hell was that guy and why did Jasper start acting all weird afterward? At first he looked a little jealous but then it turned to straight protectiveness as Felix touched her. And what the hell was the changing his name crap? I tried to let it go as a single incident and would just ask him nonchalantly about it later but then I over heard him talking to the man at the front desk…
-Flashback-
Alice had towed Bella to her and Jasper's room for a makeover. I was just glad that I got to pick out the outfit this time. Although Bella would look stunning in anything, I really wanted her to wear that blue dress she had got over a month ago. I've been anxious to see her in it since I saw it hanging in her closet. The dress was short for the cold weather around here but that would never stop our girls. They would wear a summer dress in a blizzard if they wanted to. Besides if Bella needed any help getting warm I am more than willing to help her with that.
I went down to the main lobby to confirm our reservations for dinner tonight when I was done I saw Jasper headed over to the front desk with his clothes for tonight draped over his arm in a garment bag. I decided that I would take it upstairs for him incase he was going to be a while.
As I approached I over heard the man at the front desk, "I hope that Mr. Archer's stay with us was enjoyable," the man said as he handed Jasper papers to sign.
"Yes," Jasper said taking a pen to the paper, "He was very pleased with your hotel. He said that the next time he was in town this hotel would be his first choice." Mr. Archer? What the hell? That was the name that Alice and Jasper had made up. Why would he have a room here? Jasper continued, "He asked me to find out if anyone had inquired about his stay?"
The mans brow furrowed, "Uhm…" he said as he checked the desk area, "There was a man who called the night that you had requested the room and checked him in and one yesterday I do believe."
"Did they leave a name?" Jasper asked.
"A Mr. Morant," the man said.
Jasper nodded, "Thank you I will let him know."
"Is their anything else you require during your stay with us, sir?"
"No," Jasper shook his head once, "Not at this time."
"Very good, sir. Enjoy the rest of your stay," the man said with a smile and Jasper turned away heading for the elevators.
I had no idea what the hell was going on but this was past the point of intriguing. What was Jasper doing getting an extra room for a man that doesn't exist? What could possibly be the reason for him to spend that kind of money on a ruse? I hurried to catch up with him knowing that he would need to get in my room and wanting to get to the bottom of this strange behavior.
I met up with him in the elevator, "What are you doing downstairs?" he asked acting like nothing strange was going on.
"I was about to ask you that same question," I said practically bursting to ask my questions but decided I had better play it cool at first.
"I asked you first. I do believe," Jasper said.
Fine if he wanted to play that game, "I went to confirm our dinner reservation," I said looking in his direction indicating that it was his turn. Jasper merely nodded and looked up at the numbers that said what floor we were on. He hadn't given me any sign that he was going to tell me anything so I decided to prompt him, "So what where you doing down there?"
"Oh, um," Jasper said knitting his brow together for a second then answered coolly, "Alice and I needed some more towels."
BULL SHIT! I almost wanted to yell but the elevator doors opened to an elderly couple on our floor so I decided to wait till we got to the confines of my room before I called him on it. I opened the door and walked in holding the door open for Jasper and he walked in looking around the room at if his room was not an exact duplicate of ours. Granted Bella and I still had some extra rose pedals set aside on one of the nightstands and an ice bucket with day old champagne that she didn't want the turn down service to touch. Jasper rose one eyebrow at the excess from our New Year's night. "You went all out," Jasper mused.
I bent down to untie my shoe lowering my head so I didn't have to look at him. "She's worth it," I said simply.
"I'm sure you think she is but you might want to tone it down so that you don't have to burn yourself out later on trying to surprise her with something new," he said taking the garment bag and hung it up in the small side closet that had my clothes for tonight already hanging.
I grimaced, "I'd rather do things my way if you don't mind." I nearly hissed. He had no idea why I had done it and if he did know he probably would have been giving me the talk instead of Emmett in the car. My plans were thwarted by Emmett's proposal. I had everything ready and set in motion before Emmett told us his plan for getting Rosalie's ring outside the hotel when we had gotten our bags.
I had bought Bella a ring during the week we were apart just before Christmas and I had planned to ask her New Year's night. Even though I didn't want to come on too strong and desperate after Emmett and Rosalie got engaged. I had decided I'd still ask her but the moment that I was about to lead into my proposal Emmett knocked on the damn door and ruined the mood completely.
"I was just saying that she loves you already and you don't have to try so hard that's all," Jasper said sitting on one of the chairs to remove his shoes.
"I know I don't," I said taking some things out of my bag for after my shower, "but I wanted to."
"You were going to ask her, weren't you?" Jasper asked, though he seemed confident that he already knew the answer. I stopped short on my walk over to the bathroom at his question. I had never told either of them my plans. How did he figure it out? "The tip off was the fact that you found nothing wrong with Emmett wanting to propose to Rosalie. Before Bella you would have been the biggest skeptic of his love for someone he just met a few months ago. Not that I object to you asking Bella," he said quickly, "on the contrary I think you two are two halves of a whole that finally found each other."
"Thanks, bro," I said turning to him and smiling at his words.
"So you didn't ask her?" Jasper asked knitting his brow together, "Why didn't you? Was it because of that Garrett guy?"
"No," I said. If anything that would have made me want to propose sooner. "It was Emmett who ruined it." Jasper's eyebrow raised in question at my words. I sighed and sat down on the bench at the end of the bed pinching the bridge of my nose. "I had it all planned out before we had even got here, but then Emmett wanted to get Rosalie that ring and asked her that night and…" I sighed, "At first I was afraid that I would come off as second hand asking her only an hour after her friend gets engaged, but I shoved that aside and was about to ask her anyway, only to be interrupted on my lead in to the conversation by Emmett once again when he came knocking on our door at 2 AM."
"That sucks, bro," Jasper said, "I'm sorry. Are you going to try again?"
"We'll see," I said, "I'm willing to wait for the right moment. If it doesn't happen during this trip I'll do it on Valentine's day if I haven't found the right moment before then."
"The right moment will come, bro," Jasper said getting up and patting me on my shoulder.
I smiled at him and nodded getting up. I headed to the bathroom and took my shower before switching with Jasper. I pulled on my boxers and black slacks before putting on the blue shirt that Bella had got me for Christmas. It fit perfectly and I smiled at the idea that she was the one to pick it out.
Jasper was just finishing up his shower when I saw the paper that Jasper had gotten from the front desk and my previous questions flooded back into my mind. When Jasper emerged from the bathroom I asked him, "So how was Jason Archer's stay?"
Jasper's hand paused as he dried his head with a towel. I heard a loud sigh, "That's nothing, Edward."
"What is nothing? You and Alice created some fake name for that Felix guy and then you pay for a room for this person who doesn't exist," I said. "What is going on? Who was he?"
"He knows Alice's ex-boyfriend," Jasper said hesitantly. "She doesn't want her ex to know where she is so we got a room here to make her story seem true."
"Who is Mr. Morant?" I asked.
Jasper narrowed his eyes at me, "I didn't know that eavesdropping was becoming a new thing with you?"
"I didn't do it intentionally," I defended, "I had just finished with our reservations and noticed you were downstairs and was coming to join you."
Jasper nodded knowing that I would never eavesdrop on purpose. "Morant is Felix's last name. He was apparently still hanging around after he left us earlier and followed us to our hotel before going to the airport."
"What's his deal?" I asked. Why would he have followed them? None of this made any sense. There is obviously more to this than what he was saying.
Jasper shrugged. He grabbed his clothes from the small closet and took them to the bathroom. I could tell that he was still keeping things from me but I didn't want to irritate him so I decided to let it go for the time being.
He emerged from the bathroom and we headed down to the bar where we were going to meet the girls and Emmett.
-End Flashback-
The secrets that keep running around between my brothers and their girlfriends are a bit unnerving.
One of the many things that I love about Bella is that she hates lying. So I don't think that I really have to worry so much about her not telling me things. Though I suppose if she really needed to, I think she could manage it.
Bella's tongue licked the top of my mouth sending a chill down my spine and arousing me farther. I pulled her tighter to me pressing her up against the wall. God, I love her. The bathroom was filled with steam and our bodies became wet with a light layer of moisture. Her skin was soft and smooth as I let my fingers glide up to her bare back above her zipper. She arched into me giving me full access to her zipper and I slowly moved it down her body.
She began working at the buttons on my shirt. I didn't want her to hurt her wrist so I quickly finished the job for her and she brushed it hastily off my shoulders to the floor. I grinned against her lips as I felt her impatience radiating off her. As I finished dismantling her dress and it pooled on the floor she took one of her legs and wrapped it around my waist grabbing my belt in a silent message for me to take it off. I backed away working at my belt and pants as I heard a knock at the door.
"Shit," I hissed. Did room service really have to come now? Bella pouted letting me go and I re-buckled my belt to look a little more presentable. "I'll be right back," I said kissing her forehead, "Don't move." She grinned up at me as I left the bathroom to get the door hearing her turn off the bath water.
I opened the door and the girl holding the silver tray of food had an intake of breath. I smirked trying to hide my laughter at her reaction to me shirtless. I grabbed the 10 from my wallet and handed it to her while grabbing the tray from her with my other hand. She took it absentmindedly as she stared at me mouth open. "Thank you," I said, "my girlfriend will enjoy this." She let out a regretful sigh and I closed the door.
Smiling and shaking my head at the girls dazed expression before I went over to my bag and grabbed the massage oil that I bought yesterday at the hotel spa and placed it on the tray and returned to the bathroom. Bella was at the sink removing the clips in her hair. Her chest was bare having not worn a bra earlier with her dress and she had only her black lacy thong on. I groaned at the site of her and I quickly placed the tray of food on the bench that was next to the tub. As I was bent over the bench her arms wrapped around my waist and I could feel her breasts press against the skin of my back. She kissed my spine once before she moved lower and licked up my spine and I shivered at the sensation as my pants became tighter.
I stood up and quickly turned to her lifting her till she was pressed against the shower doors and I kissed her fiercely. I grabbed my belt and quickly undid it followed closely by my pants as her nails dug greedily into my shoulders our kiss moved from passion to pure lust. My fingers tugged at her thong pulling it down to her knees before my foot did the rest taking it the floor. Her breathing was uneven and heavy into the skin of my neck and began sucking my earlobe. I moaned loudly and I hastily sent my pants and boxers to the floor reaching up to the top of the shower doors for one of my stashed condoms. I pressed my fingers in her to test the waters and found her well wet and ready for me as she moaned loudly at my touch.
"Oh Edward, I need you now," she moaned.
I ripped open the wrapper with my teeth and covered myself quickly to meet her needs. She lifted one leg and I filled her without hesitation. Her nails digging harder into my shoulders as she gasped in pleasure making my thrusts faster and harder. I bent my head down and took her breast in my mouth playing with her nipple as my hand moved to work her clit.
In almost no time at all I felt her clench around me and I quickly kissed her muffling her scream as she came and I soon followed. We stayed there for a moment as our bodies came down from our high. I kissed her again, "I love you."
"I love you, too" she sighed.
"That wasn't part of the plan but I liked it," I grinned and she giggled, "You ready for dessert and massage?" I asked. She nodded and I pulled out of her. Hearing her whimper at my absence and I grinned. "Don't worry we still have the strawberries, my love."
She grinned at me running her fingers through my hair. I unwrapped her wrist and helped her into the deep square tub grabbing the crème brulee dish and placed it on the large ledge of the tub before getting in myself. I set her between my legs with her back toward me. She leaned back into my chest resting her head on my shoulder sighing contentedly. Taking the fork from the plate I dipped it into the crème brulee capturing some and brought it to Bella. She opened her mouth and took it slowly swirling it around her mouth with her tongue, "Mmmm," she moaned at what would have to be the flavor. "It tastes even better now."
"It does?" I asked, "It can't be fresher than earlier."
"It's more the atmosphere and the person feeding it to me than anything," she said reaching her right hand back running her fingers through my hair again.
I chuckled getting her more of the crème brulee, "I find that you make things taste better myself." She took the fork from me and held it out for me to take. I shook my head, "No love, I got it for you."
"But I want you to have some," she pouted turning toward me.
I smiled bending my head down to the fork and she fed me some of the crème brulee. It was delicious. "I can see what you mean. It's delicious."
She grinned and I reached over to grab the massage oil taking some in my hand and placed the bottle on the edge of the tub. Bella turned and I began gently massaging the scented oil into her shoulders. "Mmmm," she moaned, "I don't know about you but I really don't think I could go back to our normal school routine after this."
I grinned. I loved that she wanted to stay like this. I couldn't blame her. This trip was even more amazing than I thought it could ever be. "Are you saying that you aren't sick of me yet?"
"I could never be sick of you," she said turning her head up to kiss my jaw.
"I could never be sick of you either," I said wanting her to know that I returned the feeling.
"What is Emmett going to do?" she asked.
Where did that question come from? "What do you mean?" I asked.
"Well," she said taking her hands to my thighs and rubbed them from my mid thigh to my knee a few times before speaking again, "They are going to have to tell Rosalie's parents and I'm sure that they will not be happy about it." I nodded in understanding but I still didn't understand her question. She continued, "Rosalie said something like disowning the other day which would mean that her parents would no longer pay for her things anymore including school."
"I doubt they would be that drastic," I said, "Though Emmett did mention that to me as well. He told me that it really wouldn't matter to him about the financial stuff. What would bother him is the connection between her and her parents. After his biological father disowned him it's kind of a sore spot for him."
"I can't even imagine what that would be like," she said turning toward me wrapping her legs around my waist and her core rubbing my tip then hovering dangerously close to my cock. I gasped at the feeling and fought back the urge to just take her. Was she trying the kill me? What did this mean? I nodded my head trying desperately to keep my mind on the conversation as I worked to keep my breathing slow and steady. "Edward, can I ask you something?" I nodded curious as to what she was going to ask. "Did Jasper tell you anything about the other night?"
"Um," I said clearing my throat, "he told me a few things." I could not for the life of me think why she was sitting this way on me. Does she not know what this is doing to me? "Did uh… Alice uhm… say anything?"
"I only got a little out of her and it really made me even more curious about it," she said furrowing her brow as her fingers moved delicately across my shoulders and moved down my chest tracing my muscles. Did she honestly think that I could concentrate with her doing that? "What did Jasper tell you?"
"Um," I cleared my throat again, "Just a minute…" I couldn't take it anymore and I secured my grip around her waist lifting us both out of the water in a loud whoosh as the water cascaded down our bodies. Her eyes were wide with surprise as I stepped out of the tub and walked over to the counter that had two towels set out for us. "Would you mind grabbing those, love?" I asked and she grabbed them still a little shocked by my actions as I held her. She wrapped one around her shoulders and torso then taking the other around mine as I walked us into the bedroom dropping her on the bed with me landing on top of her. "You really have no idea how you effect me," I said kissing her neck and sucking her skin lightly.
She giggled, "What did I do exactly?"
"Are you serious?" I asked incredulously raising my head up to look into her eyes. I saw amusement in them along with passion and lust. "You were sitting on me like that and…you are just too tempting."
"Oh," she said grinning impishly up at me. Her right hand moving down my side grabbing my butt making me thrust forward. She giggled again, "I must remember this for future reference." My eyes widened with shock. She giggled again, "So what did Jasper tell you?"
I got up and I heard her whimper at my departure as I went into the bathroom taking the crème brulee and the strawberries back into the bedroom. "I figure I might as well make the interrogation fun," I said grinning as I took the last bite of crème brulee feeding it to her and kissed her eagerly so we both had a taste. I pulled away and she gasped as I took a strawberry, "Now why don't you tell me what you found out from Alice then I'll tell you what I know from Jasper," I said smashing the strawberry across her chest making sure her breasts were good and drenched with the juices.
"Well,…agh" she gasped as my mouth took in her left nipple hardening under my light tongue flicks. This is going to be fun. "Alice said that agh…" she moaned arching her chest into me, "he was a friend of her ex," She gasped rushing through her words.
"Mhmm," I murmured in agreement taking on her other breast, "Jasper said the same."
Bella moaned grabbing a fist full of my hair, "But what was weird was that… agh…" she moaned again as I teased her nipple, "Jasper hacked into CU's student registry," she rushed through her words and gasped for air at the end.
What? I stopped what I was doing and looked up at her. "Jasper hacked into CU's computer system?" She nodded her breathing was erratic from my stimulation. "What did he do?"
She effortlessly pushed me off her and I laid on my back still trying to figure out what Jasper was up to. Bella straddled my waist taking a condom off the nightstand and covered me before bringing me deeply within her. We both groaned in pleasure as she began grinding against me. "He created…an account… for Alice and Jason Archer," she said in a rush her eyes closed as she lifted her hands up to her hair and bunched it up off her shoulders in a sexy mess as she road me.
My breathing was heavy and my thrusts came forcefully as I spoke in between them, "He did… that to…what? …make it…seem true?"
"Apparent…ly," she gasped. "Oh god Edward," she moaned, her body getting ready to peak.
I grabbed her and rolled us so I was on top taking her breast in my mouth and working her clit as I thrust within her. Her moans grew louder till she hit her climax and I followed closely behind.
"Mmmm Edward," she moaned running her fingers through my hair.
"I love you Bella," I said kissing her neck.
"I love you," she gasped.
Though I knew that we could have both just fallen asleep right there I felt I had to tell her what I found out. "Jasper had even bought a room for Archer."
"What?" she gasped, "Why?"
"Felix followed them back here that night and checked to see if Archer was staying here with the front desk," I said sucking the skin of her collarbone.
"What do you make of it? Do you think they're in trouble?" she asked worried.
"I think they are going through a lot of trouble to avoid an ex." I said resting my head on her breast. "What ever it is they seem pretty calm about it."
"Alice said she'd tell me more when we are back in Seattle," she said.
"Good," I said, "I'd kind of like to know what my brother has got himself into."
A/N: So what did you guys think? I mean really. What is going through your mind? Review and let me know.
Sorry I'm a couple days late on this. I've been really tired and it is getting hard for me to keep my eyes open. So I'm sorry to keep you all waiting. The good news was that it was long.
