AN: Okay, so I have underestimated this fandom or something because holy crap yall are supportive! I've gotten so many views and likes/favs and I'm losing my shit over here! This whole fic is me doing a thought experiment on a new writing approach and I honestly never expected it to take off like it has.

Some of yall have been wondering how Rosalie hasn't picked up on things yet and I'm hoping this chapter helps you see why. It wasn't until I finished writing it and editing it that I realized there's no Rosalie POV in this chapter and with the way it turned out, I'm okay with that. Hope yall like this but feel free to let me know if there's anything you think I should have addressed or done differently. I'm not afraid to admit my own mistakes and correct them if need be, especially considering this fic is mostly unplanned.

Also, any poetry not specifically stated to belong to other poets (Pablo Naruda, ex) are created by me on the fly especially for this fic.

Enjoy!

Bella

Tuesday morning came up on me a lot faster than I would have thought. After the absolutely overwhelming events of the previous day, I was expecting to have a literal heart attack by the end of the week. It would just be my luck that I meet the two most perfect specimens of femininity only to die of shock from said beauty.

It wasn't even just their undeniable beauty, though. There was substance to them both, unique in their own ways. Alice was perky and awe-inspiringly positive. She was also a massive flirt and half the time I didn't even know how to respond in kind-though I still somehow managed to anyway. She was also a polar-opposite to her sister, Rosalie.

That blonde goddess was far deeper than her beauty belied. Most would look at her and think her shallow or vain, while in reality she was quite unaffected by her own looks. Oh, she absolutely knew she was a knock-out, and she had proven that she could effectively use it-mainly against me and my ever-dwindling higher brain functions. If I knew no other thing about her, the fact that she loved Pablo Neruda would fill in pages about her character.

And I was swiftly becoming outrageously enamored by them both. Hell, I knew I was well on my way to giving away my heart to them and there was nothing I could do to stop it. Every day we shared texts and flirts, and every morning I woke to their names on my lips. Ugh, I was becoming right pathetic.

This morning had me waking to a pair of texts from the lovely ladies once again.

Eris: 'Good morning, you little brat. Don't think I've forgotten about your little stunt during lunch. VENGEANCE WILL BE MINE!'

Satan: 'Good morning, little darling. I look forward to seeing you today. Don't think for a second I've forgotten your little tease of a kiss.'

I had to take a minute to swallow hard past the lump in my throat. Surely they weren't actually upset, judging by Alice's teasing manner, but I had a feeling I was going to suffer greatly for my little impromptu tease yesterday. What the hell could those two be up to?

I wound up replying to them in order, as usual. 'Good morning, Tiny Goddess. I have no idea what you could possibly be referring to. _ _ '

'Ah, but to a bittersweet taste upon thine lips would sear darkened desire upon velvet ribbons. Should rather the Rose lie dormant adrift in a sea of uncertainty?'

I need to write a book. "How to be a Smooth Mofo: An Improv."

Knowing I wouldn't have much time if I kept up the banter, I left my phone on the table and rushed through my morning routine. I decided to heat up some toast and microwave some scrambled eggs for breakfast, figuring I would probably wind up being late for the school's breakfast once again. I didn't want to start a day of possible intrigue on an empty stomach.

And so it was half an hour later that I was pulling into the school parking lot, a smile on my face as I pulled in next to Alice's Porsche. The doors opened simultaneously as both of my lovely ladies unfolded their perfect bodies from within, both wearing matching smirks on their sweet lips. I had barely exited my truck before I was accosted by blinding beauty from both sides.

"Good morning, Isabella," I felt my lower body clench at the way Rosalie purred my name, but I stayed strong and remained on my feet-mostly because I had fallen back against my truck.

"Mmm," was Alice's likewise purred response, her soft, cold body nearly draped across the left side of my body. "Yes, good morning, ma belle. I do hope you slept well."

An admittedly strangled noise was the only sound I made at first, causing me to cringe before I swallowed around the flood of desire pooling low in my body. "H-Hi, girls. Um, fancy meeting you here?" Yep, smoothness, thine name is coward.

Rosalie's vibrating chuckle was felt all the way through my body as she pressed my shoulder directly between her voluptuous breasts. "You don't seem too happy to see us, Bella-mou. What do you think, Alice?"

Alice released the most adorably arousing sound I'd ever heard, a mix between a whine and a moan, and I'll be goddamned if I didn't feel every ounce of blood rush to the lower parts of my anatomy. "Well that's just mean. Maybe we should just go to school? I mean, we wouldn't want to impose."

Not gonna lie, I whimpered. My face was absolutely flushed beyond recognition and my legs were trembling with the effort it was taking to remain standing. I was drowning in estrogen and I couldn't think of a better way to go. Maybe if I fainted they'd give me mouth-to-mouth.

"Look," I eventually forced out, my voice low and gravely, as if I had been gargling glass shards. "I know what I did yesterday was a bit over the line and I'm sorry."

"Aww," Alice murmured, her cool fingers teasing the skin around my collarbone. "She's 'sorry', Rosalie? What do you think about that?"

As if on cue, the blonde woman leaned down until her lips were very nearly brushing against my ear. "Oh, I don't know. I don't think she's sorry enough." Then, she pulled away completely, along with Alice as if they had synchronized their movements-which, once blood returns to my brain, I'll probably realize they most likely did, the evil little vixens! "But by the end of the day, she will be."

And with that, the two women walked away, the sashay of their hips mesmerizing in a way that had me literally falling to my ass, my back supported only by the truck behind me. I'm done for.

"Yo, Arizona!" I groaned, finally blinking the haze out of my eyes, finding Mike, Angela, and Eric standing at the front of my truck. Luckily Lauren had decided to make herself scarce. "Seriously, what's your secret?"

"I don't know what you mean," I murmured, slowly rising shakily to my feet.

"Okay, yeah," came Eric's sarcastic response, "Like we didn't just see the Cullen sisters literally attached at your hips just now."

I had to take a deep breath before letting my head fall back against my truck, staring up into the grey, cloudy sky. "You know, I have no fucking clue."

"Yeah, well they've obviously got a thing for you." This time it was Angela's voice cutting through my delirium and it kind of surprised me. She sounded almost happy for me. "They're always staring at you, or finding reasons to come around."

I blinked, my head coming back to earth finally. "If only." Except, it might actually be true. These two goddesses had taken to me for some unknown and befuddling reason, and I wasn't the only one noticing now. The big question is whether I wanted to take the risk and ask them both to date me. Because I might be cool with polyamory, I may be open about my sexuality and beliefs, but that didn't mean they would be as well.

I imagine Rosalie would be a very territorial and domineering lover (not that I'm against being dominated, woo-boy), while Alice would be more accepting of my lifestyle. But really, what chance in hell do I have of having a happy ending with two of the most spectacular women I've ever met.

"Yo, earth to Bella!" Mike's stubby hand waving in my face brought me out of my stupor just as the warning bell rang. "Hey, we should hang out after school again." Ugh, he was walking beside me, why was he walking with me? "Maybe you and I can go get dinner sometime?"

"I don't like eating out." I mean, I absolutely do but not in the way he's thinking. Fuck, and now I'm thinking of those pictures and now the thought of being immerse between either pair of toned thighs has my mouth watering.

"That's cool, that's cool," he replied, still keeping pace with me. Seriously, his class was on the other side of the school. "Maybe I can take you to a movie sometime?"

Ugh, he's asking me out again. Fuck. "Dude, I appreciate the offer, but no dice." There, simple, to the point, no way he can misinterpret-

"What about this weekend, do you have any plans?" For fuck's sake.

I stopped walking, turning to face him directly. "I'm going to give you a little bit of advice. When a woman states that she is not interested in any kind of romantic or dating scenario you're presenting, that does not mean for you to try harder. It means you back off and take the hint." I stared at him directly in the eye, daring him to try again.

The boy swallowed and had the decency to look abashed. "Sorry, you're right. I'll see you at lunch, Bella." And with that, he walked away, leaving me with a heavy sigh and a chagrined look. Seriously, I hated to shoot the boy down so hard but he really needed to learn that 'no means no'. All men, in fact, should have that lesson burned into their skulls.

I made it through the first half of my day in the usual manner-bored and missing my ladies. It's ridiculous how much of my attention span has been tied to those two. At least my grades weren't suffering, I could say that much. I was nothing if not impeccable at taking notes.

I was one of the first students to make it to lunch, probably due to the burning need to see a certain blonde and pixie goddess. Which was why I was sitting alone at my usual table when the two objects of my affections walked in. They seemed to be staying close to one another, and while Alice drew the eye like a magnet due to her spritely personality, Rosalie drew the gaze like an explosion, powerful and anxiety-inducing.

It was almost comical the way the other students parted like the red sea as the girl's approached. I might have chuckled had they not decided to forgo their usual table to take up residence on either side of me. They didn't even bother with the lunch line, they simply sat down with me, both leaning respectively towards me with one elbow braced on the table. Seriously, when did they have time to rehearse their movements so perfectly?

I had to swallow the bite of food I'd just taken. "H-Hello ladies, how have your days been so far?" Gods, they were just staring at me, this was a painful amount of attention.

It was Rosalie who answered first. "Oh, I'd say we've had an uneventful day today so far. What about you, Alice?"

Alice was already nodding her head. "Yes, very uneventful, unlike a certain beautiful brunette, or so I've heard."

I swallowed again, this time having nothing to do with the food and everything to do with the lump of tension in my throat. "O-Oh? And what happened with said brunette?" Why was there so much tension?! Gah, I was going to pop a blood vessel at this pace.

"Oh, I heard she got asked out by one Mike Newton." This was Rosalie's response and I had to shiver because she practically growled it, and for a brief moment I was reminded of Sunday night. Darkness, onyx-black eyes, and growling, and holy shit why was that sound so arousing to me?!

I cleared my throat before tossing back as casually as I could, "Yeah, well I heard she shut him down with a quickness."

"Hmm," came Alice's thoughtful reply, "And I wonder why she would do that? Someone might think she already has her eyes on someone."

"Indeed," Rosalie purred, her voice right in my friggin' ear and seriously when the hell did she get so close?! "I wonder who it could be."

Brain meltdown in t-minus sex seconds-fuck! The sudden presence of Alice's hand on my thigh drew another one of those strangled sounds from my throat, tapering off on a groan as she slowly dragged her nails upward. "I-I'd say, yes, she very much has her eyes on someone. But what chance does she have with them, she wonders?"

Rosalie's rumbling chuckle once again vibrated against my eardrums as she leaned into me, the feel and sound of hear cool breath panting into my ear nearly causing me to miss her next words. "If she wants to find out the answer, then she should really make sure she gets her sexy ass to Gym class on time today."

Without so much as a by-your-leave, twin pairs of ice-cold lips pressed in on either side of my neck, just below my ears, and yeah, I needed a change of underwear. Before I could so much as utter a word-because what the fuck could I even say right now-the girls that were the bane of my existence and also my source of breath, stood up simultaneously and once again walked away together, the sway of their hips draining what little willpower I had left until they disappeared from the cafeteria.

A hand on my chin shoving my mouth closed snapped me out of my stupor only to find Angela taking up the recently abandoned seat to my left. "Totally not digging on you at all, nope." Her giggle went almost unnoticed as Mike landed across from her at the table, Eric and Tyler popping up to start up their daily gossip. But hell if I knew what was being said. Hell, what even are words?

All I knew was that I was going to make it on time to Gym today even if it killed me.

Alice

"Dear gods, did you smell her?!" I asked, my voice pitched far too low for human hearing. All of our teasing since this morning was having the desired effect of lighting the brunette of fire in all the right ways. I had to fight back a groan, the scent of her arousal thick on my tongue even a few hours later.

Rosalie's signature sexy chuckle caused more than a few gazes to turn our way as we headed for Gym. "Mmm, you could almost taste it!" Her tongue shot out to run across her lower lip as if she were imagining just such a scenario. "You were right, this has been so much fun."

I couldn't help my own giggle at our poor human mate's predicament. "You don't think we're being too mean, do you?" I did feel kinda bad, but it was just so irresistible to continue teasing the girl. She was so responsive to us, it was almost a damn shame that we couldn't act on that desire yet. After all, we had to wait for her to come to us. We were just laying the foundation, so to speak.

"Oh, I have no doubt she can take it, and she'll do so with a smile, I guarantee it." Rosalie and I stepped into the Gym just as the first warning bell began to ring. "I just don't know how long I'll be able to keep my instincts in check. Every part of me yearns to claim her!"

I let out a growling chuckle of my own. "I think I understand, but we have to go at her pace." I paused as we made our way into the locker room ahead of the other girls. After all, we wanted to be prepared for our next wave of seduction. "But that doesn't mean we can't...entice her. I think if we really put our minds to it, we'll get her to increase that pace exponentially."

Rosalie's grin was practically feral as we both finished changing. "I think I might actually come to enjoy Gym after today."

Bella

I entered the Gym a minute before final bell, rushing to the locker rooms without glancing around. I should have known better, but the next thing I know I'm pushing open the doors only to faceplant into a solid wall of softness-if that makes any kind of sense.

A cold set of arms caught me quickly before I could tumble backwards onto my ass, my hand rubbing my face as I groaned. It took me far longer than I'd like to admit to realize what had happened, my hand pausing as I looked up to meet Rosalie's amber gaze, the smirk on lips letting me know that, yep, I'd just face-tackled her boobs.

"Nice catch there, Rose," Alice's cheerful voice chimed from my side. She had yet to release her hold on my arms, and I gave her a confused look since she was the one to catch me. Then her words caught up to me and, just, seriously, would their teasing never end?

"Hurry up and get changed," Rosalie murmured as she moved around me, her hip bumping against mine. They were out of the doors before I could get more than a passing glance at the two.

I was halfway through changing into a pair of shorts and a tattered muscle shirt over my sports bra, when I realized that Rosalie was here. Rosalie Hale was suddenly in my Gym class and I didn't know what to do with that information. What the hell was she doing here?

"I think Gym might be just the thing to spice up the school year." Oh fuck, Rosalie Hale was in my Gym class, alongside her tiny goddess sister, and now life just got that much harder. I thought making a fool out of myself in front of Alice was bad enough, but now I had to show both women just how much of a specimen of failure I was?! The Gods take me now, please!

Unfortunately they did not, and a moment later I found myself lined up with Alice to my left and Rosalie taking up the space to my right. I tried, oh I tried so damn hard not to stare, but holy shit you cannot wrap perfection in the smallest pairs of shorts and the thinnest, shortest crop-tops, and not expect me to look.

"You're both trying to kill me," I murmured, startling when Alice giggled in response. I was sure that had been quiet, but fuck me if these two don't have the hearing of a bat!

"La petite morte," was Alice's whispered reply, and I damn near face-planted during a downward stretch just to keep the raging blush from my face. Instead, I nearly choked on my way up into a standing position.

"Okay class!" Coach Clapp called, blowing on his whistle. "We're going to be starting with some laps around the gym. I want to see each of you hustling. This won't be timed but I will be keeping an eye on you all to make sure you're not slacking. That goes for you, Mr. Yorkie!"

A few students laughed, but I was more focused on the presence of the blonde beauty close to my side. "Think you can keep up with our pace, little darling?"

"I don't know," Alice whispered from just as close, "We wouldn't want to lead her on a chase she's not ready for."

Ah shit, I was gonna die today. "I can handle whatever you throw my way," I replied as confidently as possible. I'm going to be crying in the corner by the time we're done. I could already hear my body protesting my stupidity. But hey, since when do my hormones listen to good sense?

A single chirp of the Coach's whistle and we were off. Ironically it was the Cullen women who were keeping pace with me, though every once in a while they seemed to gain a burst of speed just long enough to put them a few steps ahead of me. Just far enough ahead to catch a glimpse of their glorious gluteus maximus. Seriously, I think I was only keeping pace at this point because I was chasing after them instead of the laps.

So imagine my surprise when, about ten minutes later, we were some of the first people the Coach called to stop. "Good job you three! I want the rest of you to pick up the pace!"

Smiling like an endorphin-high moron, I managed to stumble my way over to the bleachers before plopping down. I think this is what they call a runner's high but it could also just be the pheromones pouring off the Cullen sisters because those two were practically addictive. Either way, I took the offered water bottle Alice handed me as they took up their usual positions at my sides.

"Good job, ma belle!" Alice cheered, leaning in to press a quick kiss to my sweaty cheek. Another kiss to the opposite cheek and I was waving my hands in the air.

"Don't do that, I'm all sweaty!" Seriously, how could they stand that?!

Rosalie's throaty chuckle sent my already fast heart-rate even higher. "Oh, but we happen to like you like this." She leaned up against me, her cool body feeling like fire against my heated one. "Hot. Sweaty. Panting." Oh fuck! I was glad my shorts were already patchy with sweat because I'm pretty sure they were pretty much flooded.

"Mmm," Alice groaned from my other side, her cold body pressing in more from behind. "I can practically hear your heart racing with exhilaration. You seem...excited, Bella."

"More than you know."

I bit down hard on my tongue, my eyes going wide as my eyes shifted from side to side. "That...was supposed to stay up here." I tapped at my forehead with a grimace.

Alice's tinkling laughter was as magnificent as it was mortifying, while Rosalie simply gave another one of her signature chuckles. "Oh, I don't know, Bella-mou," the blonde continued, leaning in as she drew in an audible breath. "I happen to enjoy your...excitement."

With nothing else to do I threw back the water bottle, guzzling the soothing liquid over my aching throat. These two were going to kill me.

Then I realized something was missing from the class. "Wait, where's Emmett?"

Alice's grin appeared in my field of vision as she leaned around me. "Oh, are you missing the big strong brute? A girl might just get jealous, ya know?"

Predictably, my face flushed as I glared at the tiny pixie. "Trust me, not my type, Tiny Goddess. I just realized he wasn't here."

It was Rosalie who answered, her body shifting until her curled up knee was lying across my left thigh. "Oh, he and I talked the administration into letting us trade electives. I got this sudden urge to join Gym this year."

Oh I could practically feel those urges as she shifted almost restlessly against me, my own body going into overdrive with arousal. A small whimper left my lips before I could restrain it, leading to a giggling Alice resting her head onto my shoulder, her cool lips feathering lightly over my neck. "Are you okay, ma belle? You seem a bit...tense."

Oh gods, were they seducing me?! Was that what was happening here? Oh gods please let this be real and not a fever dream brought on by the endorphin high. It would be my luck that I've actually tripped and knocked myself out and this was all a delusion.

Coach Clapp's whistle going off signaled the surprising end of class. "Alright, I want to see you all ready for more tomorrow. We're going to be going over warm-ups and cool-downs to ensure you all will be able to exercise without hurting yourselves." I had to blink, not having realized how long I'd been sitting here with these two beauties. I seriously lost all track of time when I was with them.

I attempted to stand, ready to head for the showers, only to feel a cold hand on each of my shoulders, pulling me back onto the bleachers. "Uh, aren't we going to go get changed?" I asked, unsure when faced with twin Cheshire grins from both girls.

"Oh, I though we might wait," was Alice's coy reply. "I don't think we'd want to be interrupted while...changing."

Rosalie was nodding while simultaneously rubbing her cheek against me like a content feline. "Yes, I would hate for some hormonal teenager to get the wrong idea about us...changing."

I'm going to die. My mind went all kinds of places and I had absolutely no control over it. They wanted to wait. They wanted to go change together. Together! Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit! What was I wearing? I forget what kind of underwear I had toss on that morning. Were they sexy? Oh who am I kidding, I didn't own anything that could count as 'sexy'. I was going to die of embarrassment.

Soon enough, it appeared as if all of the girls had left the locker rooms and I was suddenly being pulled along across the gym and through the doors. I didn't even make it to my locker before I was being turned around and pressed back into the wall of lockers.

"You were very mean to me," Alice was murmuring into my ear, and I swear I blanked out for moment because suddenly both women were pressed intimately against me from both sides. "Leading me on, then leaving me high and dry to kiss Rosalie instead."

I swallowed, trying to formulate some kind of response only for Rosalie to cut me off. "Mmm," she purred into my ear, her voice vibrating in that deliciously sexy way of hers, "I'm not complaining, but that was such a tease of a kiss. I think Alice and I deserve compensation for you leaving us so high and dry."

I don't know how I was still standing, but the moment I felt a cold pair of lips feathering lightly up my neck on either side, my legs turned to jello. Neither girl attempted to stop my fall this time, though, and I wound up sagging back against the lockers on my ass, staring up at the two goddesses. There was something absolutely sensual about those two in that moment that had me pressing my thighs together in an attempt to stifle the flood of moisture threatening to leave my clenching body.

And then they were leaning down over me and I could do nothing other than look up at them expectantly, because it was more than obvious that they were entirely in control of this situation. As their faces grew closer and closer to mine, I felt my breathing turn erratic, heavy in a way I'd only ever felt it when I was...occupied with myself. This entire situation was like sex and I was sure that I was going to wake up at any moment.

I felt their cool breaths ghosting across my lips and I could do nothing but whimper at their proximity. Just as I expected to feel contact, they were pulling away, my breath leaving me in a whoosh.

"Hmm, no," Rosalie remarked casually, "That just won't do. Kissing you now would be rewarding you, and I think you still need to be punished. What do you say, Alice?"

Both Rosalie and I turned to Alice who had a thoughtful expression on her face. "Hmm, I think you're right. She hasn't learned her lesson yet. But I think I know what might tide her over until she decides to make up her mind."

And, I swear on all that is holy, unholy, and everything in between, I about died at what happened next. Both girls turned these sultry looks my way before moving their bodies together in front of me, not even a breath of space separating them. They stared at me for the longest second of my life before they turned simultaneously, smirking at one another before they leaned in until their lips touched.

Holy fucking shit, they're kissing each other?! I had officially died and gone to heaven. These two were kissing, making out, and they weren't holding back as they both moaned into each others' mouths. I could see their tongues battling for dominance and my body shook with need, my panties officially ruined by the absolute mess I had made. I was wet and aching, yet there was nothing I could do other than sit there stunned while I enjoyed the show.

Sooner than I would have liked, the two women pulled apart with a slick, wet sound, their gazes immediately seeking and finding mine. I realized then that I was panting, viciously aroused, and aching with need. I whimpered, my body vibrating as they both smirked down at me.

"I think she's learned her lesson, what do you think, sis?" Alice's voice was deeper than I'd ever heard it, thick with desire and it sent a shiver down my spine. Her calling to their familial bond was doing even stranger things to my insides, despite my mind acknowledging they weren't actually related.

"Hmm, I think she has." Rosalie's voice sounded like pure sex and I was dripping and whimpering as she chuckled at my ruined state. "I believe she'll think twice about teasing us." Her hand reached out and caressed my cheek and I found myself closing my eyes and turning into her palm with a gasp. "You understand who you're dealing with now, don't you, little darling?"

I was nodding quickly, my mind mush as I was on the verge of begging. What for, I had no clue, all I knew was that I needed, and these women were my last drink of water in a desert of want. "Y-Yes, ma'am-er, Rosalie." Fuck, I think I should take a vow of silence, that way I couldn't further embarrass myself in front of these two.

Alice's chiming laughter lightened my heart at the same time it drew another gasp from my chest. "So polite, as well! I think we've staked our claim enough for today, what do you say, sister?" Again, that familial honorific was doing delirious, delicious things to my insides and I was more than certain Alice knew it judging by the cheeky grin she was sending my way.

"Okay, darling," Rosalie nodded, her voice firm and commanding. "I think we've made ourselves very clear. Think very carefully about your next move." She smirked and wrapped an arm around Alice's waist. "The ball's in your court."

With that they both turned and headed off, not even bothering to change out of their gym clothes despite the cooling temperatures outside. Just as they reached the door, Alice called over her shoulder. "Oh, and you can feel free to take a shower before you leave. No one will interrupt you."

Fuck. If I didn't know any better, Alice fucking Cullen just told me the coast would be clear for me to hop in the shower and violently finish off what those two women had started. And that was precisely what I was going to fucking do...as soon as I could feel my legs again.

Alice

I couldn't stop the laughter from springing to my lips the moment we were seated together in my car. "Oh my gods, did you see her? Did you smell her?! I don't think I've ever seen anyone more aroused in my life."

Rosalie's laughter was just as joyful as mine, though she also tapered off with a groan. "Oh gods, it was so hard to walk away and leave her like that! That smell alone was enough to drive my instincts into overdrive."

My groan was nearly as throaty as her voice had been. "Fuck, I hope we didn't break her! I think she might have orgasmed just from us kissing alone!" That had been a bit of inspiration of my own doing, suggesting that finale. Knowing the source of her original teasing of us had been a kiss, I had to think of the best way to throw it back in her face. What better way than to seduce her relentlessly until she was putty in our hands, and then have her watch while the objects of her desire made out in front of her?

I didn't even have to look to know Rosalie was grinning at me from the passenger seat. "A stroke of genius, if I do say so myself. Your devious little mind fascinates me sometimes, you little minx!"

I matched her grin with one of my own, loving this playful side to the blonde beauty. "Aww, but now we have to wait for her to make her next move! Maybe working ourselves up so much wasn't such a good idea after all." Still I was laughing maniacally by the time we pulled into the driveway of our luxurious home.

Esme called out to us as soon as we entered, still dressed in our gym outfits. "Girls! What happened to your clothes from this morning?! You know you can't go out in this cold weather dressed like that without the humans getting suspicious!"

We stopped just inside the front door, guilty grins on our faces as we turned to take in Esme's irate expression. "Don't worry, Esme," I called back, giggling a bit, "We were just...distracted at the end of gym class by Bella. Everyone was already gone by the time we got to the car, I promise."

The matronly vampire sighed, her face softening at the mention of our mate. "You two are going to be the death of me, you know that? Can't go one day without getting up to something with that mate of yours."

A second later, Esme's eyes widened a fraction, her gaze meeting mine in a bit of panic before Rosalie's voice responded calmly, "Don't worry, we won't let anything happen to jeopardize the family. Our mate is perfect."

Now it was my turn to be stunned into silence. Rosalie's smirk as she turned to meet my wide-eyed gaze was practically dripping with sass. "There was no way I could ignore the signs for long, sister. Besides," she added, a deepening of her voice sending a strange thrill down my spine, "Who else could I make out with in front of Bella and not want to rip their throats out?"

And then she was gone, leaving Esme and I to stand there staring blankly at the space she'd just vacated. She knew. She knew we shared a mate. She accepted we shared a mate? That easy, it was out in the open, no yelling, no fanfare. No argument or debate. She simply...knew.

"Excuse me," I whispered to Esme, rushing up to our shared room to find Rosalie kicked back in her usual place on the loveseat. She had one of her car magazines in hand, a playful smirk still plastered on her full lips. Lips that I now knew were ridiculously soft and oddly warm for a woman whose body was as cold as mine.

"What?" she asked, her voice playful. "Did you think I wouldn't pick up on the signs and hints you kept dropping?" She gave up her ploy of playing at reading the magazine, tossing it to the side. "All the little 'ours' you dropped about Bella, the fact that you included yourself in all of my plots and plans surrounding the girl. Hell, I even started to think of her as 'ours' before I realized what was going on, which should have been a bigger 'what the fuck' moment than it was."

I let out a disbelieving laugh as I took up the other end of the loveseat, pulling Rosalie's legs to stretch out across my lap. "And you're...okay with this? I kind of expected a different reaction, honestly."

Rosalie's grin was as sarcastic as her next comment. "Oh, what is this? Did I surprise the psychic pixie vamp?" She caught the throw pillow I tossed at her with ease, her smile softening as she sat up, facing me more directly as her feet hit the floor. "Honestly, I don't think I would have accepted it if you had told me outright. But seeing her, learning about her, getting to know the person our mate is...and seeing how happy you make her..." she trailed off, her eyes closing briefly before they opened, the watery shine nearly breaking my heart. "She's absolutely perfect. And she deserves nothing but the utmost happiness. And if we can give that to her together, then who am I to stand in the way?"

I couldn't help it, I sprung into her lap with vampire quickness, wrapping my arms happily around her neck as I sobbed happily against her neck. "Thank you, thank you, thank you! You have no idea how worried I was! I knew we would be happy together with our mate but part of me was so worried you might reject the idea."

Rosalie's chest vibrated with her gentle laughter as she shifted to better accommodate my weight. "I'll admit, when the thought finally came to me, I had a brief moment of doubt. I mean, I've never heard of two vampires sharing the same mate. But then, today, when we poured on the infamous séduction de Bella, I felt it. Her desire, her want, her need...for both of us. And when I tried imagining the scenario with anyone else, Jasper, Emmett, gods forbid even Edward, it was rage-inducing. I've never felt so comfortable as I am with you and Bella. It just...fits."

My squeal was loud and obnoxious but I couldn't help myself. "You have no idea how happy this makes me! I thought for sure I was going to have to continue with this silly charade for weeks or even months!" I squeezed her neck so hard I was sure it would begin to crack, but the other vampire just chuckled as she returned the embrace. "Ooooh! You know what this means?" I pulled back to met meet Rosalie's curious amber gaze. "Now that we're officially on the same page, we get to be as obvious as we want!"

Her laughter was a rumble in her chest as she arched a brow at me. "Oh? And were we being subtle before? I think turning her into a puddle on the locker room floor is a tad bit beyond 'obvious,' sister."

My grin was practically Cheshire as I let my forehead rest against hers. "Yessss, but now we can anticipate her next move and when she asks us out, there won't be any surprises between us."

Her brows rose as she blinked curiously up at me. "You think she's going to ask us out soon?"

With the future fluttering across my mind, I couldn't help but lean in and leave a peck on her surprised lips. "Indeed, sooner than either of us think."

Bella

I admit that I had to sit in my truck for a solid fifteen minutes before I felt stable enough to drive home. My time in the shower had been both relieving and disappointing. Relieving because fuck I had never been so turned on in my life. Disappointing because my fingers between my legs didn't belong to those two goddesses and thus felt...subpar.

"The ball's in your court." Well, shit, I'm screwed then. I had just been thoroughly seduced and left a dripping mess on the locker room floor, and I couldn't even be mad about it. Still, this game we were playing had obviously just been kicked into high gear and I needed time to adjust. I needed to think. I needed to plan.

But first I needed to get home and make dinner. All the while my mind drifted to the two beauties who had so completely captured my attention, and more than likely my heart. So it was with a smirk that I sent a single line of text to both girls.

'Game on.'
