Chapter 27

Bella's POV
I tried to avoid conversation with Edward as much as I could while we were in the car. I played with Toulouse mostly, hoping that Edward would leave me to have my fun and forget about our game and the question I had yet to answer. I knew it was only a matter of time before he brought the subject up however and I braced myself for the reality that I was going to have to spill my guts at some point before we hit the hotel. I reminded myself to never suggest playing a game with Edward ever again for it always ended up working against me. I was always the one who got the awkward, embarrassing questions.
I was staring out the passenger window, watching the different colours and shapes of clouds float along when Edward started speaking.
"What are you doing?" he asked
"Looking at the clouds" I sighed. "Pretty aren't they?"
"Yeah…." he said quietly and then he paused. I could sense that he was hesitant to speak again. I knew he didn't want to talk about bloody clouds. He just wanted to get on with the game.
"Just spit it out Edward. What are you thinking about?" I said hoarsely. He glared at me and then smiled.
"I was just going to say that we never finished our game. If I recall correctly it's your turn to answer a question…" I sighed. I felt my stomach turning into knots. I was nervous.
"I guess you're right. Remind me what the question was again…" I said trying to postpone my doom. I knew exactly what the question was.
"What's the dirtiest fantasy you've ever had about me?" he said quickly, getting straight to the point. He fidgeted in his seat and I knew he was just dying to hear my answer. I was going to try my damn hardest not to reveal it to him so I began listing off random fantasies.
"Sex on the beach" I said bluntly. He knew that I was lying. He always knew.
"You're lying Bella…and frankly that's not very dirty…" he commented. I groaned. Things were not looking up for me.
"Back seat of the car…" I said with no emotion. I couldn't believe I was such a shitty liar.
"Bella please. That was even less dirty than the beach idea. Why are you beating around the bush?". I ignored the last part of his sentence.
"Sex in public" I suggested realizing I was quickly running out of ideas.
"Better" he quipped "but I know you're still lying…". Ugh! How I hated him in that very moment.
"It's stupid. You're going to think it's lame…" I said
"If it's the truth I won't think its lame…" he said
"No, Edward, it really is lame and cheesy. I can't believe I even have this idea…" I blurted out
"Would you just tell me what it is Bella?" he pleaded with me. I knew my time was up. I couldn't avoid the topic any longer.
"A video" I whispered
" A video of what?" Edward pushed
"Of us" I shot back. Could he not see where this was going? He was just trying to make me squirm.
"Of us doing what?" he continued. I could see he was trying to keep himself from smiling.
"You know what!" I said
"No. Why would I ask you if I knew already?" he said. What a jerk. He would pay of this someday.
"Fucking" I whispered. I saw his smiling starting to form.
"One more time…I couldn't hear you…". I knew full well he had heard me. I couldn't' take his teasing anymore.
"FUCKING! Okay Edward are you happy now?" I asked. Now his smile was very apparent. He looked over to me. I obverted my eyes.
"Very. Who would have known that my Bella had a mind like that. How very Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee…." he joked.
"Shut up"
"Okay, okay, enough with the joking. But really Bella I'm surprised by you. I didn't think you had it in you. Just think if we ever got famous we could leak it and make loads of money…"
"I thought you were done with the joking?" I said angrily.
"I am now. I promise. I have to say though, I do like the idea. Bella and Edward's sex tape. Interesting…"
"Yeah keep poking fun. I told you it was lame"
"Really, Bella, I like the idea. It would be fun…" he said. I huffed as I crossed my arms over my chest.
"Seriously" he added as he moved one of his hands to the hem of my dress and started to push the fabric up. I tried to swat his hand away but he continued. Eventually I gave into his touch. His hands were so warm and eager as he pushed my dress further and further up, stopping just before my panties. He traced my thigh very slowly with his index finger. I quivered. A strange feeling was growing deep in my abdomen. With every touch I lost more self control. He felt amazing. His fingers then began to trace the inside of my thigh and I couldn't think straight anymore. I wanted him to take me right then and there.
"Edward…" I moaned. My breathing was becoming erratic. He was only touching me for god sakes. Why was my body reacting this way? Edward began to lean his head towards me while still focusing on the road ahead of us. The car never steered away from the middle of the lane like I thought it would as he got closer to me. He was in control.
"Yes?" he whispered into my ear. He lingered there for a little while before pulling away and focusing on the road again. His fingers were still caressing my thighs. I couldn't respond to him. I saw him smile as he moved his fingers up and down the side of my outer thigh eventually wrapping his finger around the tiny lace string of my thong. I gasped. I wasn't expecting that. My body was screaming for him now more then ever. I was flushed, my heart was racing, my legs were trembling, my core was heated, and my rational thinking completely gone. Suddenly he pulled away and placed his hand back on the steering wheel.
"What's wrong?" I asked worried that I had done something to scare him off. I could see anger in his face now.
"Jasper and Alice are watching" he said through gritted teeth as he motioned to the rear view mirror. I took a quick glance and saw that Jasper and Alice were brimming ear to ear with smiles and waving at us.
"Oh…" I sighed. My body was beginning to come off its high now.
"I guess it's for the better" Edward said. "I could see you were loosing all control there Bells and I wouldn't have been able to stop myself either…" he said while he shook his head.
"Another time then?" I suggested with a laugh.
"Another time" he confirmed as he leaned over to kiss me. I couldn't object.
We continued to drive along long, curving roads while discussing school and our house. Edward had assured me that everything would be ready for us when we got there. Carlisle called soon after and informed us that we'd be approaching the hotel any minute now. I hadn't even noticed that we had entered a city. It was hard to believe that we had already made it to Wisconsin. Time had really flown and if it hadn't been for the Cullen's impeccable and speedy driving we'd still be closer to Washington than Boston. Sure enough we saw the Pfister Hotel appear on our left hand side and all three vehicles pulled into the front entrance of the hotel. The valet greeted us and dealt with our cars. We all had agreed before hand to pack an over night back so we wouldn't have to lug loads of luggage up to the room. The hotel was absolutely stunning, much like the one Edward and I stayed in while in Boston. Carlisle had walked ahead of us and was checking in. Alice and Jasper soon approached our side, snickering all the way.
"Did you two have fun?" Jasper asked. I gave him a dirty look but all he did was laugh.
"We couldn't see where your hands were at some points Edward. We really had to use our imagination at that point. Who knows what you could have been doing to her…" Jasper continued.
"Shut it Jasper" Edward said with much detest.
"Oh common everyone! Let's all try and get along and have some fun now that we're almost settled in" Alice suggested.
"I agree with Alice. Let's just cool down, get some food, and then get some sleep" I said while I watched Carlisle chat with the man at the front desk. Eventually Carlisle joined us.
"Alright boys and girls, we've got the penthouse suite. Here are your keys, please don't lose them" he said looking towards Jasper. I wondered what that was about. Carlisle continued.
"I asked the gentleman at the front desk about good places to eat around here. He suggested a great sushi place just down the street. I figure we should get freshened up and get changed before we head out. It's been a long day". We all agreed to the plan and took the elevator to our suite. Carlisle opened the door and began giving orders.
"Girls get ready on the left side of the suite, gents on the right. We have two hours. Everyone is to meet downstairs in the lobby by no later than seven thirty understood?" he asked. We all nodded and went our separate ways. I barely had time to take in my surroundings. The only thing I knew for sure was that this suite was enormous.
I traipsed after Alice to "our" side of the suite. We entered a huge bedroom with two queen beds. Alice flung her overnight suitcase onto the bed and proceeded to unpack. She had packed enough stuff for a whole week, forget one night. I placed my tiny duffle bag onto my bed and laid down.
"What are you doing!?" Alice exclaimed. My heart just about stopped.
"What's going on?" I asked as I sat up in the bed and began looking around.
"Why are you lying down? We have lots to do in two hours!" she said
"Like what? We're just going out for dinner…" I replied but Alice had evidently ignored me. She was throwing clothes all over the bed now.
"Here!" she said as she thrusted clothes into my arms. "That's what you're wearing tonight". I looked at what she had handed me. There was a pair of dark jeans and a silver sequence racer back tank top.
'Don't forget the shoes!" she shouted as she placed a pair of metallic silver heels by my feet. I groaned. I was so tired I didn't even want to move let along think about getting dressed and made up.
"I'm getting in the shower first Bella. Then you can go. I'll do your hair and makeup for you tonight" Alice chirped as she skipped off to the bathroom. I wasn't thrilled with this plan. I don't know how Alice has the energy to do all these things. I laid back down in the bed and curled into a ball. I was exhausted. My phone then beeped. I yanked it out of my purse and noticed I had a text message from Edward. It read:
"Has Alice taken you hostage yet?"
I laughed. Edward knew his sister all to well. I hurried to text him back. I made my reply simple.
"Save me"
Seconds later my phone beeped again. I read the message quickly.
"Meet me on the fifth floor in five minutes. Don't let anyone know you're leaving. I'll be waiting
xo"
I reread the message. What did that mean? What was Edward up to? We were supposed to be getting ready. Alice would kill me if I wasn't here when she got out of the shower. Without hesitation I grabbed my purse off the bed, checked myself out in a nearby mirror, and made my way for the door…
