Bloody Sexy Boys
AN: If any of you have ever watched "Gone Country" on CMT then you know what their house looks like…just FYI…
June 2000
"You mean we get to live here?!" Emmett asked as their bus pulled into the huge log cabin like structure.
"This is the address Phil gave me." The bus driver stated.
"Holy shit."
Edward chuckled. "Emmett, you're such a hick from the sticks."
"Stick this, buddy." Emmett said as he gave him a one-fingered salute.
They all laughed and stepped off the bus. There was very attractive woman waiting for them at the door. "Welcome! I'm Renee Dwyer, Phil's wife. He was supposed to be here to greet you, but he got held up in a meeting. I hope you're all doing well…?"
Carlisle stepped forward and addressed her for the group. "We're doing splendidly, Mrs. Dwyer."
She let out a little giggle. "Renee, please. I'm not that old."
They all chuckled and she led them inside. "Phil said I was to tell you that there are no servants here, he didn't think you needed quote, 'the temptation of women when you were working on your creative genius' end quote."
All their mouths fell open at the inside of the house. It was huge. With eight bedrooms, a recording studio, indoor pool, fully stocked bar, giant game room and huge entertainment system, they had no doubts that they could keep themselves occupied.
"There are horses down at the barn." She said, piquing Jasper's interest. He'd always wanted to learn to ride. "They are cared for by the groundskeeper's son. They live just down through the woods and they'll assist you in anything you need. Feel free to settle in. Phil says he'll be here this evening. Go ahead and find something to eat as well."
"Phil said something about a songwriter?" Jake asked.
Renee nodded. "My daughter, Bella. She's currently visiting with her boyfriend's band. She'll be flying in a few days from now, you'll meet her then." She smiled. "Until then, feel free to relax, de-stress and have fun!"
And they did. Emmett was often found in the pool, screwing around with Jake, who was a natural in the water thanks to his time surfing the frigid Washington State coastline. Carlisle had been brushing up on his reading, spending hours in the huge library, Jasper was learning how to ride a horse, and Edward was spending more and more time alone.
He wasn't happy, hadn't been happy for some time. He knew he had to get rid of Tanya, he just didn't know how. He'd hoped that if he whored around enough, Tanya would give up, move on, but apparently Tanya was not the smartest person in the world. She had never once mentioned him with another woman, though he had seen himself splayed on the covers of a few of the tabloid pages. She would just shrug it off and say how she 'knew he was saving himself for her and their marriage.' Yes, Tanya was a good girl. She didn't believe in sex before marriage, something that the others were bound to tease Edward about when they found out. The thought caused him to sigh. Whatever was he going to do?
The boys were all playing pool a few days later when they heard a soft, "Hello?"
Edward's eyes grew round as Emmett shouted, "We're up here!"
Only a moment later, who should walk in? Tanya. "Oh! Hi, guys!" She said brightly.
They all blinked in surprise. A chorus of "hellos" went around the room and Edward walked to her. "Tanya? What are you doing here?" He asked somewhat callously.
"Ph-Phil invited me. Was this not alright?"
"Our manager, Phil?" Edward asked, still surprised.
She nodded. "He said since I was on break from college, I should come down, visit. My mother didn't want me to, but I assured her you wouldn't be untoward."
Emmett snorted and Edward shot him a look. "Of course not, love. Shall I show you to a guest room?"
She beamed at him and he led her out of the room. "What the hell was that?!" Jacob asked.
Carlisle smiled grimly. "I do believe Phil is protecting his step-daughter."
The other three looked at him in confusion and he smiled. "If his step-daughter is in a happy relationship, don't we believe that man-whore Edward would fuck that up for the dear girl? I mean, if she isn't dog ugly, wouldn't Edward want a piece of her?"
The others smiled. Indeed. He probably would.
Another few days passed. They went and did a few small gigs around Tennessee, never venturing far from their new 'home'. Tanya was always waiting when they returned. The others liked her immediately. She was very nice and very sweet and very blind when it came to Edward. She had ideas of dream weddings and virginal white. Edward was just looking for an out that wouldn't cause her to castrate him. Apparently underneath her sweet façade, she had quite a little temper.
"I don't know what I'm going to do!" Edward hissed one day while Tanya was out taking her horseback riding lessons. "I just don't know how to get rid of her!"
"But she's really nice." Jake said.
Carlisle nodded. "She's a very good girl, Edward. You should give her a chance."
"I don't want a sheep for a wife. Hell, I don't even want a wife!" He snapped.
"Looks like you're on your way to 'fucked'ville." Jasper commented as he strummed his guitar. "Do you think that would make a good song? 'I'm on my way to fuckedville, tell me do I take a right? I need to get there quickly because I've fucked up my whole life…"
"Not bad lyrics, but I do believe it would be slightly inappropriate for your genre, don't you?" A female voice said.
Five heads whipped around in her direction and she chuckled. "Hi, guys. I'm Bella Swan, your new co-writer." She grinned at Jasper. "You know…rap and heavy rock is quite a good genre to write in. I'm sure you and I could come up with something in regards to those lyrics. We could sell it off…if you're interested."
He smiled at her, slipping on his southern charm. "Sorry, sugar. If I can't have my songs, no one else can."
She rolled her eyes, but she was still smiling. "Typical man."
"Hey, Bellaboo!" Emmett said, bounding over to her, giving her a giant hug.
"Oh!" He put her back lightly to her feet and she said, "Wow. You're huge!"
He grinned. "That's what all the girls say."
She snickered. "I'll just bet they do. So, you're Emmett, the other southerner is Jasper; I see Carlisle, pleasure, and Jake and…well, well, well, Mr. Masen."
Edward's eyes grew a bit wider at the way she said his name and damn if his pants didn't tighten. He strode to her, kissing her hand. "Miss Swan, a true pleasure."
Her eyebrow rose. "My step-father warned me about you. But, dear Edward, I fear I must warn you…I'm a black belt in karate and I know how to fend off a puny little thing like you."
That got a round of snorts from the other guys and Edward sneered. He was up against her in seconds, their bodies aligning perfectly. "Oh trust me, Miss Bella, I may be a lot of things, but puny could never be one of them."
Her cheeks stained the loveliest shade of red and he wasn't certain if it was embarrassment, desire or anger, but then her eyes narrowed. "How dare you!" She cried before she slapped him in the face. "You disgust me. Get your disease riddled dick away from me."
She pushed him away physically and sat next to Carlisle as if nothing had happened. "So, boys…what kind of songs do you want to write?"
The other guys immediately hit it off with Bella, she was a bright life force. Her personality fairly sparkled and she always had a smile on her face. Her boyfriend was Mike Newton from HotP, or Head of the Pack, one of the hottest bands out, even hotter than Breakdown was. Their hit, "Tearin' up My Heart" was a huge success and their album had already gone gold, working its way to platinum.
They were, in fact, Breakdown's biggest competition and Bella, despite dating one of the front men for Breakdown's arch nemesis, wanted to write with Edward, Jasper and the guys because they enjoyed writing their own songs, something that HotP didn't.
That night, they had an impromptu jam session with her, toying around with some song titles and a few bridges and choruses, so it was quite late once they finally went to bed. Tanya had gone up to bed hours before, so Edward was alone as he traveled to the second floor. He heard humming coming from the slightly ajar door at the end of the hall. He was draw to the sound, like a moth to a flame…
He peeked inside and saw Bella brushing her hair. She was wearing a tiny tank and a pair of boy shorts. Then she started to sing, "You are my fire, the one desire, believe, when I say…I want it that way."
Edward couldn't help himself as he stepped inside, continuing the song, "But we, are two worlds apart, can't reach to your heart when you say…that I want it that way."
She gasped and clutched her heart as she turned around. "Edward! You startled me!"
"I'm sorry," He said softly. "Look, I think we got off on the wrong foot…"
She nodded. "Yes, we did. I apologize for my behavior. I'm just…I'm not used to forward men. I'm kind of introverted, so…"
He snorted. "You? An introvert?"
She smiled. "Maybe that's the wrong word. Loner. That would be better, I guess. I was once shy, but now that I'm getting some spotlight and attention on my music, it makes things different, makes me different…"
"I know what you mean," He agreed. "This…this isn't me, it's not who I want to be."
"It's not too late to change, Edward." She said quietly. She touched his chest with her hand. "In here? You can be anything you want to be. Just don't let who you pretend to be end up being who you are. Because, I have to be honest. That guy? He's not very nice."
He swallowed hard. "Bella…"
She smiled up at him. "It's late. You should go to bed."
He nodded reluctantly. "Okay. I'll see you in the morning."
"Can do, Edward. Until then…and hey, I like that song. Let's concentrate on that one, okay?"
"Just us?" He asked hopefully, though he wasn't sure why.
"Yeah. Sometimes a group is great, but sometimes, especially when writing a love song, you need an intimate setting."
Edward's cock twitched at the implication, but he didn't act on it. Why, he wasn't sure. He knew he could bed this girl easily enough, despite her earlier refusal of him. He knew there was something…something crackled in the air between them. It confused him and made him more than a little horny. He decided he needed to get out of here now if he stood a chance of walking away from Phil Dwyer with his balls intact. "Okay, so, tomorrow…"
She nodded and walked him to the door, shutting it behind him. Inside her room, Bella blew out a breath. Oh, God…that man is going to be the death of me. Why is it Mike never makes my heartbeat go erratic like that? Why is it my panties never get this wet around my boyfriend? He's a great guy…so, why is this asshole Masen making me feel the way I do? She had no answers.
PAGE BREAK
Edward and Bella sequestered themselves in the writing room for sixteen hours straight the next day, shelling out the entire song. Once it was finished, it was absolutely stunning, and Phil was sure it would be another hit. They were celebrating their success with pizza and Coca-Colas when Jasper's cell phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Jazz?" A soft southern voice said.
"Jay?" He asked, causing Emmett to look up at him.
"Jasper…I have something to tell Emmett, but…I can't…" She broke into sobs.
"Jamie…what's wrong?"
Emmett's face turned to alarm as he stood.
"Jazz…it's Em's dad…"
Jasper's eyes widened. "Wh-what happened?"
He heard the phone fall and a male voice said, "Hell, uh, Jasper?"
"Yes. Who's this?"
"I, uh, well, I'm a friend…"
A boyfriend, Jasper thought drolly, but he kept that comment to himself.
"It was a heart attack. He died. Jamie just found out. We're on our way over to the McCarty house. I, uh, she's a wreck. They're…close, aren't they?"
"Yeah. They are."
A pause, then, "You need to be here. I don't…it's not…I'm kinda…"
"Dude, it's okay. Take care of her for us for now, alright? Em and I will be there as soon as we can. We're in Nashville."
"Okay. Thanks."
Jasper snapped his phone shut and looked at Emmett. "Em…"
"Is she okay?" Emmett asked softly. "She's not…God…she's not…pregnant, is she?"
Jasper's eyes grew wider. "Uh, no, I don't think so…"
"Thank God, man. Seriously." Emmett said, clutching his chest. "Dude, don't scare me like that again. So, what's wrong with her?"
"It's not her that there's anything wrong with." Jasper said softly.
"What…? Is it your mom?"
Jasper shook his head. "Em…"
"Jasper. Just tell me."
"It's your dad, Emmett. He had a heart attack…"
Emmett gave a little gasp of air, but he said, "Well, they're rushing him to the hospital, right? I mean, he'll have that bypass surgery stuff, won't he?"
Jasper crossed to him. "Em, man…"
"No. No, Jasper. He's not…he can't be…" Emmett sank down onto the sofa. Bella and Tanya both went over to him. He had captured both their sisterly sides with his quick smile and entertaining attitude.
Jasper's own eyes were filling with tears. Emmett's dad was the closest thing to a father he'd had himself… "We need to go. Now."
"Let me drive you," Carlisle offered. "I don't think either of you need to be driving right now…"
"Thank you, Carlisle," Jasper said. "Come on, Em, let's get you packed, okay?"
Emmett looked lost, like a little lost boy in that moment. "O-okay."
The girls jumped up to help him and they got all of their things together. Someone, Bella, perhaps, called Phil and he had a town car brought for them to drive down, along with a driver. Jake called Alice, because he knew Alice really liked Emmett and she said she'd be on the next flight to Tennessee, and that someone would need to pick her up. Edward offered to do that, and in no time at all, Carlisle, Emmett and Jasper were on their way down to Emmett's parent's house.
The drive was spent in silence. Emmett was trying to hold it together until Jasper finally said, "Em, please, if you cry, then I can cry, okay? And neither of us will look like pansies that way, alright?"
Emmett gave a strangled chuckle. "Okay," He said softly, tears leaking out onto his cheeks.
Carlisle felt like he was intruding in a private moment, but he was quite glad he was going with them. They would need someone there, more than likely. The driver pulled up to the McCarty house and Emmett bolted out of the car, Jasper hot on his heels. "Mama!" Emmett yelled.
"Emmett!" She sobbed, falling into his arms.
Jasper held back, but only for a moment before she enveloped him in a hug as well. "My boys!" She cried.
Carlisle paused in the doorway when a petite brunette came up. "Carlisle, right?"
He nodded. "I'm Jamie." She said.
He smiled at her. "So you're the one that held the two of them together for so long."
She chuckled flatly. "I guess so. Where are the other two? Aren't you guys supposed to be a unit?"
He nodded. "They're coming down tomorrow. One of Emmett's new friends is flying up from Atlanta."
"Oh," She said softly.
He smiled. "Yeah, Alice is our choreographer. She's a great friend to us all. She's only a friend." He added quietly.
Jamie nodded. "Okay." She turned and then turned back to him, hugging him softly. "Carlisle? Thanks."
He winked. "My pleasure. I think Emmett might need some consoling. Jasper too, for that matter…if you were to…"
She grinned at that. "I don't whore out, you know."
"I wasn't insinuating such, my dear, trust me. But if you were…I might need some consoling too."
She rolled her eyes. "I thought Edward was the smooth one."
"I'm British." He said, as if that explained it all.
"So I noticed." She drawled. She took a deep breath and stepped over to Emmett and Jasper.
PAGE BREAK
Jasper knocked on the window he'd stolen into too many times to count. Jamie had always been Emmett's girl, but he could always talk to her, and had, more often than even Emmett knew about.
She opened the window and said, "I was wondering when you'd show up. Where is he?"
"The fire tower."
"Let me get my jacket." She whispered.
She returned to the window moments later and he grasped her waist, helping her over the windowsill. "Thanks, Jazz."
He smiled. "Anything for one of my girls."
"Jazz…she won't be here. I talked to her tonight."
He blew out a breath. "Good. I don't…I don't need that. Not on top of everything else."
"I know." She said quietly. They walked down the street to where he had his motorcycle parked. "You kept it?"
He nodded. "Mama McCarty didn't know it was stashed in the back garage, but Dad did…" His voice caught. He'd always called them Mama and Dad, just like Emmett did.
Jamie's hand went to his face. "He loved you, ya know? He was so proud of the two of you going out and finding your dreams."
Jasper felt two hot tears travel down his face. "Who was the guy you were with?"
She bit her lip.
"Jay, tell me."
"We've only been of a few dates. He…he's a nice guy."
"Your prince?" He asked softly.
"I don't know. Right now, we're just friends."
"How did you meet?"
"He brought his brother in with a kidney stone. It wasn't…it's not love at first sight, but it's a…recognition, you know? Like I recognize he has an important part in my life. Eventually."
"So…Em…?"
"I'll look after Em. You know that, Jasper."
He nodded. "I do. But I know you don't cheat."
"It isn't cheating when I haven't even given him a kiss."
"Dude hasn't kissed you? What the fuck's wrong with him?"
She laughed. "Jazz, we've been out twice. Tonight probably would have been that kiss, but…"
"Yeah, that got fucked, didn't it?"
"Royally."
"Hop on."
She smiled. "I remember the first ride I had on this with you."
"Me too. I'd never fingered a girl before."
"I know." She said with a giggle.
"Get on, wise ass."
She took the helmet from him and slipped it on. She then curled up to his back as he jump started the bike and they took off for the fire tower. It took them only seven minutes to arrive at their destination. Jasper opened up the saddle bag and took out a bottle of Tequila and tucked it in his pants.
Jamie giggled. "Is that a bottle of tequila in your pants, or are you just happy to see me?"
He grinned. "For you, Jay? Sugar, I'm always happy to see you."
She rolled her eyes and stepped to the ladder. "And I don't need your hand on my ass this time, Jasper."
He snapped his fingers. "Damn it."
She smiled slightly and started her ascent. The climb took a few minutes, but finally they made it to the top. They headed to the west side where Emmett was sitting, legs over the edge, nursing a bottle of Jack already. "Knew you two would come and harp on me."
"Of course we would." Jamie said as she sat to one side of him, snagging the bottle from him. She took a long pull and grimaced. "Ugh. I forgot how nasty this shit is."
Jasper laughed as he plopped down on the other side of Emmett. "Yeah, well, maybe this will be better?" He handed her the tequila and she twisted the cap off.
"You guys," Emmett said. "You didn't have to come and join my pity party."
"Of course we did." They answered in unison. "We love your dad." Jamie added.
"He was the only father I had." Jasper said softly.
Emmett started sniffling then and Jamie and Jasper's arms went around Emmett as he mourned.
The rest of the alcohol later, all three of them were feeling quite loose. "Ugh," Jamie said as she took her jacket off. "I forgot how hot I get when I drink."
"Yeah, your red is face!" Emmett said.
Jasper snorted. "Dude, you are fucking wasted."
"You're one to talk, Jazzy." Jamie said with a grin.
"Drunk as a skunk is the way to be." He said with a little salute.
Emmett flopped onto his back and the other two joined him. They were quiet as they looked up at the stars. "Hey, Jamie?"
"Yes, Emmett?" She asked as she snuggled into him.
"Which one of us was better? Me, or Jasper?"
She giggled. "I'll never tell."
"Aww, come on. Which one of us was better?"
"Honestly? It's been so long since I was with Jasper, I couldn't say."
"So, be with him again, give me something so I can know."
"No, Emmett." She said, pushing away from him to sit up. "Absolutely not."
He pouted, as did Jasper. "Come on. We'll give you something."
"You're drunk." She reminded him. "Besides that, you don't have anything to give me."
"Of course we do, darlin'." Jasper said with a wink to Emmett. "Multiple orgasms."
She giggled. "Come on. We're drunk. On top of the fire tower. This is not smart."
"Come on, Jay. Don't you want to say you did something wild and crazy before you slow your ass down, get married, have babies?"
She thought a moment. "Okay."
"Hot damn!" Jasper said.
"But only if we do things my way."
"Your way?" Emmett asked.
She slid closer to him and kissed him. "I want to suck you while Jasper does this."
His eyes grew wide. "Why?"
"Because…I love you, Emmett. We may not be in love, but I can't…tonight…with everything that happened…"
His hand ghosted over her face. "We don't have to…"
"I want to." She said with a smile. "I've, uh, well, I've wanted to see that tattoo Miya was talking about, Jazz."
He grinned and pulled his shirt over his head. "Hope you're ready, sugar."
She slid her shirt from her body revealing her large chest. "Holy fuck, Jay, your boobs got bigger!"
She smiled. "I know. Emmett appreciates them."
"I sure do." He said as he pulled her to him for a kiss, fondling her breasts as he went. She returned it with fervor before pulling the shirt from his body and feasting on the skin of his chest as she traveled down, down, down to his pants.
She whimpered as she felt Jasper's hands on her pants. "Are you sure?" He asked her.
"You do have protection, don't you?" She asked him.
"Yeah. I always do."
"That's nice to know." She said sarcastically, causing Emmett to laugh.
"You know, we're going to regret this in the morning." He said softly.
"I won't." She told them before she resumed her ministrations. She unbuttoned his pants and pulled out his already hardened cock.
"Fuck, bro," Jasper said as he peered over Jamie's shoulder. "Dude, I can't fucking compete with that shit."
Jamie giggled and ground her hips against Jasper's. "I'm sure you can manage." She palmed Emmett's erection only a moment before she sucked it down her throat.
"Fuck!" Emmett growled.
Jasper removed her pants and then his own, slipping his condom on quickly. "I can stop…" He said one last time.
She let out a growl around Emmett's cock and pushed herself back on Jasper, impaling herself.
He gasped as the heat of her flooded him and he grasped her hips. "Damn it, so good…"
She let out a 'hum' of appreciation that caused Emmett to moan. "Oh, don't stop, please…" He started pleading.
Her hand rolled his balls and he whimpered as his hands fisted in her hair. Jasper's hands were busy all over her body, making her purr in response and they all knew with the alcohol in their system, nothing would take long tonight. Sure enough, it took her only moments to orgasm. She lost her grip on Emmett as she cried out long and hard and Emmett stroked her face, her hair until she had finished and she dipped her mouth back onto him.
She redoubled her efforts on his cock and he had to let go of her hair for fear he'd rip it out. His orgasm hit at breakneck speed and he gushed down her throat as he came, calling out her name.
Jasper pinched her clit, causing her to pull away from Emmett and scream out into the night once more as Jasper pumped his hot seed into her.
They all landed in a sweaty heap and Jamie kissed first Emmett, then turned to kiss Jasper. "Thank you, thank you both."
"So…which of us was better?" Emmett asked.
Jamie laughed and her laugh echoed out through the trees.
AN2: You know…it's quite difficult to write yourself into a sex scene. Wholly satisfying though…you should try it sometime!
