I was deeply engaged in my trashy sex novel when Alice and Jasper passed the bedroom doorway, announcing that they were going to catch a late movie. I responded with a wave of my hand, hearing Jasper chuckle along with their footsteps out the front door. I glance up checking the time, rolling my eyes. I had been throwing my emotions into this book for over an hour. I toss it onto the bed and walk over to the window, climbing up onto the padded seating area. I stare off into the distance. Everything is so beautiful, out here in the lush forested mountainside.

Rosalie and Edward could be gone for hours yet. I furrow my brows suddenly remembering my day dream earlier. I've never had one that felt so real, the effects still lingering through my body. I was afraid to admit that I liked this feeling. The last thing I needed was to blurt out a fantasy with Emmett, in my sleep. I sigh and rest my head against the window as my gaze scans the starry night sky. Why did Edward have to be so difficult?

I change into a tank top and shorts for bed, placing my clothes into the laundry bag. I jump, hearing the slight knock on the door frame and glance over. Emmett.

I tilt my head slightly, calling out a soft "yes?"

Emmett slowly struts over and sits on the edge of the bed. My heart starts racing. Oh was he so sexy. I take a minute to selfishly admire the edges of his chiseled body, clearly visible through his shirt. I silently curse myself for feeling this way of my soon to be brother in law.

"Please don't blush," I think, "please don't blush."

Thank God he can't read my mind. I bite my lip.

I sit silently for a few more seconds before he finally says, "Look Bells, take it easy on Edward. He only has your best interest in mind."

I nod, forcing back graphic scenes from my memory. I cant help but stare at his full, soft lips.

Coming back to reality "I know," I nod some more, not knowing what else to do.

Awkwardly, I sit up, pulling at my shorts, feeling self conscious realizing how little I am wearing. "Sorry...I need to change."

I stand, surprised at how quickly my feet got me halfway across the room. I'm in front of Emmett as he stands and we run right into each other.

Emmett takes a quick step back, evaluating my reaction as I just stare at the floor, trying to cover myself and step around, mumbling out an apology. His arm snakes it's way around my body, pulling me back. A million thoughts race through my brain as I register what is happening, blood pooling into my cheeks. Damn it!

He chuckles lowly, I bring my gaze up to reach his. "Again? You blush so easily."

Again? I narrow my eyes at him. "Earlier?...did that actually happen?"

His grips loosens a bit as he answers, "what...did you think you were hallucinating, Bella?"

I nod, haphazardly pushing away, I frown. "What do you expect? You were gone as soon as I came."

He grins at my use of words and pulls me back. "I'm sorry, I had to. I knew Edward was looking for you."

I find myself lost in his stare, opening my mouth but finding no words, inhaling sharply as Emmett delicately cups my face, embracing me in the sweetest kiss.
