Chapter 2 – Heartbreak Hotel

Chicago 1957

Jasper had been my partner at the Chicago Police Department for two months and my

roommate for seven weeks. Tonight we were at the Flame Club and Jasper had jumped onto the stage during a break in the sets and, as obviously pre-arranged with the band, had lifted one of their guitar straps over his shoulders and started strumming softly. Jasper loved to sing and his songs of choice were from his new hero, Elvis Presley. He started off with Blue Suede Shoes and then launched into Heartbreak Hotel.

I had been watching Jasper and noting the way his hair fell over his eyes, his long fingers flew over the fret board of the guitar, his lips inches away from the microphone as he belted the words into it, his long lean form gyrating behind his guitar. My body responded to his blatant, heavy-lidded sensuality. His eyes had been fixed on both of us and the words he was singing seemed to come from deep inside him. I felt jealousy that he had been looking at Bella, my girl, and something else I hadn't wanted to think about.

I had met Bella about 4 months earlier at Church when her family had moved to town. Her family had been seated behind me and my family and as the Lord's Prayer finished, we all turned to exchange the greeting of peace with those around us. As I held Bella's hand in mine and said the words, "Peace be with you," I had no idea that that was exactly what she would come to mean to me. She became my safe haven, my peaceful place in life. We had run into each other a lot after that - Church socials, local festivals and I always gravitated towards her, drawn towards her by some unseen magnetic force. She was so cute with her baby blue sweaters and pink scarf tied around her neck. The flare of her skirt would brush me constantly and I yearned to get closer to her.

One day, about a month after I had first seen her in Church, I summoned the nerve to actually ask her out. Our first date was to the local malt shop and I almost came in my pants just watching Bella in the seat next to me. She was perched on the chair, her skirts floating around her and swinging her feet, brushing against my leg on every rotation. Her chocolate, brown hair was secured in a ponytail off to the side and the swathe of chocolate hair curled around her left breast outlined against her pink twin-set. Her fingers grasped her glass firmly and her pink rosebud lips sucked the thick shake up. I was spellbound by the way her cheeks hollowed out with the force of her sucking action and the way her throat swallowed the cold creamy goodness down.

I was happy merely to hold her hand as we walked along the shore of Lake Michigan, and over the moon, when she gripped me tight on the Ferris wheel at the fair. We spent every free moment together when I wasn't working the long and gruelling shifts on the force. She was a good girl and came from a nice, respectable family and, even though our kisses became a little heated at the end of the night, we always restrained ourselves. After three weeks, I was certain that I would never meet anyone who I would love as much as Bella and had announced to her that I was going to marry her. Once she had stopped laughing and telling me that maybe I should ask her instead of assuming, she had agreed and our parents had been overjoyed. We wanted to be virgins for our wedding night, so we had decided on a short engagement.

That was just about the time my old partner, Billy Black, retired and the cop that had transferred from across town, Jasper Whitlock, became my new partner on the beat.

Jasper and I had hit it off immediately; we had so much in common. I liked to listen to music when we were patrolling, and it was lucky that Jasper had the same taste as I. Billy was into folksy kind of music and some days I had just wanted to scream with the monotony. I knew Jasper and I were destined to be great friends when, as soon as he got in the car on our first shift, he fiddled with the radio dial and chose a station playing Ain't Nothing but a Hound Dog by Elvis Presley. I was a huge Elvis fan and had even driven to Mississippi last year just to watch him in concert in Tupelo. Jasper admitted that he had done the same thing.

From that moment on, it seemed that Bella, Jasper and I were always together. Jasper had become my best friend in a few short weeks and he and Bella had hit it off immediately too. We spent almost every evening together and the three of us became inseparable.

That night, at the Flame Club, had changed the way I saw Jasper. I hadn't realized that the feelings I had felt when we were together were anything more than affection for my best friend. I was shocked to feel lust and desire added into the mix when I saw his hips gyrating and his lips almost enveloping the microphone. I licked my lips watching his and I saw Jasper's eyes darken in response. I was confused by my feelings and, in truth, a little disgusted with myself. What if Jasper realized that I was feeling this way? Our friendship would be ruined and I did not even want to think about the consequences of Bella finding out. Unconsciously, I grabbed Bella who was gyrating in front of me and ground my hips into her behind.

I was shocked when she responded by pressing back into me, and even more so, when she flipped around and pressed her breasts into my chest, whispering into my ear, "Is that a gun in your pocket, or are you just pleased to see me?" doing her best Mae West imitation. Bella and I, up until this point in time, had shared very little more than some heated kisses in the backseat of my Chevrolet and, if I was daring, a little boob action. I wanted more, but I was very conscious of her reputation and the fact that we were due to be married in less than two months time. We could hold out until then, couldn't we?

That night, Jasper and I dropped Bella at home and he waited patiently in the car while I walked Bella to her door. I kissed her goodnight and our lips clung and she moaned when she felt my still rigid length press into her stomach.

"Edward, I don't think I want to wait anymore. We are almost married after all."

My heart thundered and my erection swelled and pressed painfully into my zipper at Bella's words. "Are you sure, Bella? We've always talked about waiting so that our wedding night is special."

"It will be special anyway because it will be our wedding night, Edward. I think we need to practice a little."

"Soon, Bella, soon" I whispered to her and walked back to the car. Jasper was sitting rigidly in his seat and he looked uncomfortable when he spied my arousal tenting my trousers and turned to look out the window. We drove back to our apartment in almost complete silence, the radio turned low to some Miles Davis.

Jasper had morosely thumped his way into the house and grabbed a beer from the fridge, grabbing one for me and indicating the balcony at the back. We reclined in the chairs for a while in the dark until Jasper started irritating me with questions about Bella and me. He had never asked me about intimate details before, but tonight, he wanted to know what we had done together. I mumbled something about kissing and some boob feeling and he looked at me incredulously.

"You have been dating that gorgeous girl for months and you haven't had sex with her yet?" he spat out. "What the hell are you waiting for? You're getting married soon anyway."

"What the fuck business is it of yours, Jazz?" I sneered back at him, a little embarrassed by the values I had stoically held onto.

"Man, you are so lucky she has agreed to marry you or I would show her what's what!" he slurred, drunker than I had realized.

I couldn't believe my best friend had just said that about my girl. I remember him looking at her and at us at the club and I saw red. I jumped up and grabbed him out of his chair and yelled at him to take it back, before slamming my fist into his stomach and pushing at him until he smashed back into the sliding door.

Jasper grabbed at my arms and held them tightly against my side before resting his forehead on mine. "I'm so sorry E! I didn't mean it," he whispered brokenly. "I drank too much tonight to numb the pain and I just lashed out at you and said the most stupid thing ever."

I was confused, "Jazz, what's wrong? Why did you say that about Bella?"

Jasper lifted his head from mine and just stared at me for a minute and I just stared right back at him waiting for his answer, looking at him closely for probably the first time since we came out here and seeing the anguish behind his eyes.

"I had to drink tonight….watching you and Bella together…because my heart is broken. And the numbness helps me sleep because I love her and I love you and it tears me apart that you are getting married and I will be all alone on the sidelines looking in."

I reeled at his words and felt shocked at the feelings deep inside that bloomed at his words. I shook my head in confusion; I felt equal parts fear and desire at his words and I stood there, my arms loose by my sides now, just staring at him.

Jasper shook me by the arms and said quietly, "What do you say about that, huh?" before he leaned forward and gently kissed my lips.

His lips were remarkably soft and he tasted of beer, cigarettes and breath mints and, although shocked by his action, my body reacted to the sensual touch of his mouth to mine and I felt myself become as hard as stone.

I jerked back from him feeling like I was betraying Bella and his eyes clouded before tears filled them and slowly rolled down his cheeks. I couldn't help it. I just wanted to hold him and comfort him and my fingers gently wiped his tears away. I leaned forward, taking him in my arms and kissed him deeply, our aroused bodies pressed together. It felt like heaven to be in his arms and my heart beat frantically in my chest until I thought it would explode.

At that moment, the back door of the next door neighbour's house banged open and before Marcus emerged, we were back in our seats lifting our beers in acknowledgement of our neighbour. Our eyes met in consternation at what had almost happened. The consequences of our actions tonight could end our careers and our lives would be destroyed if our feelings for each other were discovered.

I got up from the chair abruptly and went to my room to think about what had just happened but could never happen again. I was marrying Bella. I loved Bella. I was so damn confused.

I purposely left early the next morning, calling out to Jasper, who was still in bed that I was jogging to the police station. Our day was busy and I couldn't talk to Jasper about what had happened. I had already arranged to meet Bella straight after my shift ended to go to the movies.

We met at the malt shop first and had burgers for dinner and when Bella had prattled on ceaselessly about Jasper at the club and how great he had been, I talked her out of the movies and into making out in my car instead. She readily agreed and, as we drove to the secluded spot overlooking the lake, she placed her hand on my leg.

We started out as normal, kissing and groping in the back seat when my control snapped and I needed to possess Bella now and not wait any longer. My kisses grew more heated and my caresses more intimate. I started to unbutton her sweater and, after looking into her eyes to make sure it was okay, I peeled the edges of the wool from her chest and down her arms.

I hitched in a breath at the sight before me and reverently drew my fingers across the soft silkiness of her bra right across her engorged nipple. Bella drew in a breath and moaned at the feel of my hands kneading her breasts. I peeled down the material from one cup and kissed the tip of her nipple almost reverently and when she grabbed my head and smashed it into her, I took the whole of her nipple into my mouth and licked and sucked it before performing the same manoeuvres on the other.

As I was licking and sucking, my mind crept back to the concert last night, and the look on Jasper's face when he was looking at the both of us, especially the look when he could see me grinding myself into Bella. I groaned at the memory and how it made me feel when Bella had reciprocated by pressing back onto me with Jasper watching us. My cock was now rock hard and I dragged Bella onto my lap and pushed up against her.

"Edward, oh my, that feels so good," and before I knew it, she had straddled my legs, lifted up her skirts and ground down on me with only her thin cotton panties and my trousers between us.

"Bella," I moaned out as her fingers entwined in my hair and for the first time, she took the initiative and sucked my tongue deep into her mouth. I swiftly unbuttoned my shirt and removed it so my chest was as bare as hers. Bella pressed her pert, beautiful breasts against my chest.

I had never felt anything like it before and I moaned aloud when the tips of her delicate breasts brushed against my rock hard, little nipples. I thought I had died and gone to heaven when after a moment, Bella bit my ear and moaned breathlessly as she dragged her breasts across my sensitive nipples and through the light dusting of hair on my chest.

Bella ground down onto me and catapulted me straight to heaven when she whispered that she didn't want to wait any more, she wanted me to make her mine now. I wrapped my arms around her tightly and whispered how much I loved her before unzipping her skirt and dragging it over her hips and down her legs. Bella slid her legs off the seat and balanced herself by leaning her arm against the seat.

As she leaned down to remove her skirt, I leaned over and sucked hard on her breasts dangling in front of my face. Bella retaliated by palming my length as she slid back onto my knees and I almost unseated her as I jerked up into her hand in surprise. I blocked out the image of kissing Jasper and feeling his hard length against mine last night.

"Edward, have you ever done this before? You are so big. Is it going to hurt like my momma said?"

"No," I whispered back starting to feel nervous about whether I would embarrass myself tonight, "I've never made love with anyone before, Bella, only you."

The sight of Bella perched on the edge of my knees clad only in white panties strengthened my resolve, I simply needed to stake my claim, show her with my body how much I loved her, and hope like hell that I was doing it right.

I reached up and cupped her face in my hands and kissed her reverently, before sliding my hands down and stroking her nipples softly. I gasped against her mouth when I felt her fingers undo the buckle of my belt and then undo the button on the waistband of my trousers. My dick strained into the zipper of my trousers trying to get closer to Bella and again I prayed that I would not come in my pants before she had even touched me. My hands skimmed down her taut stomach and grazed along the edge of the waistband of her panties. Bella moaned into my mouth, her eyes almost closed as she looked into mine.

I tentatively gripped the softness in my fists and slowly drew the white material down until I could see the dark hair covering her sex appear. I groaned at the sight, wanting nothing more than to thread my fingers through it and touch my woman's core. I could smell Bella's arousal and her chest was heaving with anticipation. I kissed her quickly on the lips and dragged her panties lower, sliding her slowly backwards until her feet were on the floor of the car again. Bella kicked the scrap of cotton off and climbed back onto me this time grinding her wet pussy into my dick through my trousers and I almost lost it.

Bella slipped back against my knees and was about to touch me again when I grabbed her hands in mine. She looked immediately hurt and worried so I quickly reassured her that I wanted nothing more than to be making love to her but I needed a minute or it would be all over before my pants were unzipped. I moved my hands to her hips, rubbing gentle circles over the bones. I whispered to her that I had heard that I needed to pleasure her before attempting intercourse for the first time and that would help with the pain.

Her eyes widened at my words and her face flushed in anticipation. I slid my fingers lower and lower on her hips and when the pads of my thumbs brushed her slit, Bella ground down against me and released a little wetness onto my trousers.

"Oh my God, Edward, that feels so good." Bella moaned, her back arching and her breasts jutting forward.

I agreed and was amazed that I didn't come from the pleasure of my hands touching Bella's body intimately. Bella was blushing all over by this point, her skin a warm pink. I slid two of my fingers inside her and pumped softly into the warmth and her tight muscles clamped around me. Again I shifted my cock, aching and almost coming, just from naked Bella sitting on me. I held Bella steady with one hand and kept the two fingers inside her; I brushed my thumb against her clit. A few passes later Bella stiffened in my arms and cried out, her inner muscles almost crushing my fingers.

By this time, my dick was screaming for release and I was seriously worried that I would not even get it past her inner lips before releasing in her, I was so excited. I kissed Bella and she giggled nervously, embarrassed at what had just happened. She climbed off my knees and sat beside me, and when she started retrieving her clothes from the floor of the car, my heart plummeted. I guess we were waiting to consummate our love then? She looked up then from zipping up her skirt and buttoning her sweater and must have seen the crestfallen look on my face.

"Oh, Edward, I'm so sorry but I have to get home early tonight. I was just about to say something when headlights flashed through the back windshield as a car turned into the deserted parking lot. Bella screeched and I quickly buttoned up my shirt, jumped into the front seat and squealed out of the parking lot, both of us freaked out at almost being caught.
