Lemon warning in this chapter.

Chapter 1 Club Aria

"I can't wear this!". A feverish blush went across my face as I glanced at the rather provocative red dress in front of me. It was tiny, short, and very revealing. It looked like it was designed for a doll. There was no way it would fit on my form.

"Bella we are in VEGAS!" Jessica rolled her eyes while adjusting her tight black dress.

Jess and I had known each other from high school. One of the few friends I stayed in touch with. Jess and Mike were finally tying the knot after years of being on and off. It was most likely the fact that she was 3 months pregnant that she finally agreed to marry him. He had proposed about 7 or 8 times at this point. Only Angela and I were aware of their current situation. Jessica didn't even look pregnant yet especially wearing black, it was clear she would bounce back quicker than most. Since the other bridesmaids had no clue Jess was not drinking, Ang and I were on drink duty for the evening. We were to finish Jess's drinks for the evening. She was waiting to announce the baby until after their wedding. Most likely due to her very Christian mother wanting to keep the whole thing under wraps.

"What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas Bella" Jess sang as she pushed her boobs out making sure all eyes would be on her for the evening. I smiled back at her laughing at her ridiculous nature. Jess and Ang were truly my rocks, I would be lost without them.

It had been a rough year, my mom had passed. Though our relationship was a bit untraditional- I missed her every day. I had played the role of mom and best friend to her most of her life. When cancer hit no one expected Renee to pass as quickly as she had. Uterine cancer was a beast. The year was just impossible to catch back up. I was in my fourth year of college majoring in psychology at Washington state. Once Renee had gotten sick I had fallen far too much behind.

I am so grateful for those last moments I had with her. They were moments I hold on to and think of at the end of every day. My mom was my best friend, a loss that would never truly be filled. No matter how much I tried.

Though I would never admit it to my friends or my dad, my debts were piling up. I fell behind at school and was forced to drop out early before finishing my fourth year. I also just lost my job as well due to an inappropriate coworker. I shivered thinking about James and the times he cornered me in the break room.

I needed this trip to let go. I glanced again at the red dress. I needed this I repeated in my head. I took a shot of vodka and dashed into the bathroom. Not looking back.

"Oh my god! Have you always been hiding that body?" Ang laughed.

I giggled in response. I had to admit I did look good. The dress was tight and short but it did suit my frame. It left little to the imagination. My boobs were definitely on display. I loved how it made me feel. I added a red lipstick to match and off we all went to Club Aria.

The music was blaring and different colored lights were everywhere. It was a very upscale club. Something Angela had pulled a few strings for us all to attend. She worked in the industry, she was lucky her boss agreed to her request. The boys were at their bachelor event somewhere across town most likely involving the Vegas strippers. While the girls were letting go at Club Aria the hottest club in town. Only the elite was allowed. I felt a little out of place but grabbed one of Jessica's shots of Vodka for encouragement and soon shook off the feeling. We all danced to Lizzo's newest hit and giggled as Jessica ground upon us. Pregnancy had done nothing to her at all. If anything she seemed wilder. Men were flocking to her and she loved every second of it.

Men came up to us all frequently but no one caught my eyes. They all called me picky but I didn't care. I danced with my friends enjoying letting loose. It was on my third shot where I saw him. The most attractive man I had ever set eyes on. His hair was disheveled going in several directions but somehow perfectly tamed at the same time. I could have sworn it had an amber sheen to it. He was taller than most men there. His frame was large and he looked extremely in shape. We locked eyes and he smirked at me. Blushing, I looked away unable to stare any longer. He had a strange intensity about him. The man was sex on legs. Dangerous all around. I grabbed another shot and drank it quickly. I heard a voice clear as I turned around to the handsome stranger.

"Hello, I'm Eddie" he smirked again.

Looking me fully up and down. He had no shame. He wanted me to know he was interested. His confidence was very evident. Though I hated to admit it, I loved the way his eyes roamed my body. It was definitely the alcohol that was giving me this thrill.

"Isabella, but my friends call me Bella" I grinned back taking him fully in.

He was more rugged and handsome closer up. Something about his eyes mesmerized me. There was a connection we both seemed to not understand, it's like we were drawn together. I shook my head and glanced away unable to stare any longer. It's just a fun night out I reminded myself.

"Bella, would you care to dance?" I nodded in response.

In the background, Angela and Jessica were gawking over the beautiful mystery man signaling they approved.

"I'm in love with the shape of you, push and pull like a magnitude" "I'm in love with your body"

His hands were rough as he grabbed me closer and our bodies swayed to the music. His touch was making me actually swoon. I decided at that moment I was okay with going home with him. I needed this. Our connection was undeniable. We danced to a few more songs, grinding and getting more handsy as each song passed. I didn't care who could see. I was wrapped up in every touch he sent my way. He nuzzled my neck from behind nipping it and suckling. Making me extremely dizzy. His touch was almost too much to handle. So much fire.

"Bella?" I turned and looked at him

"May I kiss you?" He whispered.

Maybe it was the alcohol coursing through me but I suddenly was feeling gusty. I grabbed his face and kissed him hard, unable to hold back anymore. His lips slipped open and his tongue touched mine deepening the kiss. Fighting for dominance which he quickly won. His hands grabbed my head and waist tugging me closer to him. I started to lose myself in the kiss, forgetting where we were. Moaning into his mouth, nipping at his lips. Pulling on his hair. Turned on didn't even describe how I was feeling. Luckily the club was dark and filled with many other couples in the same predicament. I couldn't care at all.

We went on like that for what felt like ages until Jessica came over and dropped us off each a shot of tequila.

"Hi there I'm Jess" she grinned staring at the both of us.

Embarrassed, I gave her a glare hinting for her to leave. He wiped his mouth removing my lipstick from his face, grinning back at me. The proof of our connection lingering in both of our mouths. I wiped at my own mouth to tidy myself up.

"Eddie, nice to meet you, Jess! Guessing by your sash you are getting married?"

He grinned his eyes meeting back to mine. They were an emerald in this light. Beautiful even. I couldn't look away. His hair, his face, his eyes. So attractive.

"Yes to my fiancé Mike, where are you from Eddie? I'm sensing an accent"

"Cordova, it's a European island. Not heard of much over here. I'm here for a family event" his eyes again unwilling to move from my own.

"Is that near Greece?" I finally spoke. I gulped and took the shot and drank it back quickly. Getting fuzzier by the seconds. He downed his drink as well.

"You know your geography" he mused. Our eyes were only focused on each other yet again. Jess finally got the hint and left us again with each other after dropping off one more shot each. "Good luck" she mouthed as she left.

"I'm not sure I can drink anymore, I don't normally drink this much" I yelped.

"I'll do it if you do it" he smirked back at me.

Challenging me, lust and fire behind his eyes. We both downed our last drinks, then resumed dancing. More like foreplay on the floor. We danced for what felt like another few hours but time was starting to blur. Things started to jump. Kissing, grabbing, dancing, moaning. He slipped his hand under my dress feeling my wetness practically dripping off of me.

"You're so wet Bella" Things were no longer clear at all, I just wanted more that's all I knew. He slipped a finger into me hiding us behind a corner where no one could see. "I want to taste you" he growled bringing his finger up to his mouth and sucking it up. He stroked me again and began to pump his finger into me over and over again. He added another in pumping more and more. I came suddenly as he added another two into me. Shaking from the aftermath of this mysterious stranger. Blurry, fuzzy, tingling. He licked his remaining fingers up grinning at me.

"Let's go" I whispered in his ear.

He grinned and kissed me hard before tugging my hand to drag me along with him. Things were moving fast and became spotty. We ended up in a hotel room. Who's? I wasn't exactly sure. Time spun again.

"Bella are you sure?" We were on a bed just in our underwear. I was glad I chose a lacy black matching set today. His touch was too much. Burning my body each place he touched. I needed him. I needed to feel all of him. The want I had for him was undeniable.

"Yes I'm sure, please Eddie"

"We both are drunk I don't want to take advantage" he kissed my neck nipping and sucking. I pulled his hair and dragged his face to mine.

"Just make love to me already"

He stripped off my underwear in a frenzy unable to control himself any longer. His boxers were discarded quickly after. Things were becoming a little foggy but I didn't care. I gasped when I saw his body unclothed. He was ripped, and his frame was so large he towered over me. His member was extremely large as well. I was unsure how he would fit inside of me. My eyes went large when he quickly kissed me softening what was to come. Almost reading my thoughts and worries. He wanted this just as badly and I could tell. I panted as he felt up and down my body, greedily grabbing and pulling at whatever he wished.

He lowered himself to my core and licked and sucked teasing me. I couldn't take much more I gripped his head as he dipped a finger into me to prepare to go down on me. His lips moved to my lips and he slowly licked at my core slowly building me up. Suddenly he moved at a fast speed, licking sucking, and nipping all while his finger entered in and out of me. Unable to handle the pleasure anymore I came around his finger crying out his name. I closed my eyes as the room was spinning. It was all too much.

He moved his body upwards and positioned himself in between my legs. He slid his fingers up and down my center making sure that again I was ready for him. I opened my eyes and kissed him fully, balancing myself again. He put his large cock against my pussy and rubbed himself up and down. Back and forth, teasing me further. Winding me up again. I moaned again from the feel of him against me. As he moved back and forth he dipped his cock fully into me growling at the sudden impact. He felt even larger than he looked. It had been a long time since I had been intimate so I winced as I adjusted to his size. He moved slowly and I cried out at the pleasure mixed with pain. He stilled- letting me adjust to his size his focus was unrelenting, watching my every move. He continued on and pumped into me, quickening his pace. "So tight" he grunted. As he moved furiously into me unable to control his urges any longer he bit down on my neck. Leaving a mark as if claiming his territory. "Bella" he grunted over and over again. I was fading quickly, as was he. I cried out from the pleasure again before he came. Things slowly went completely black.

"Night Isabella" I heard as I drifted off to sleep.
