BPOV

I smiled as I curled contentedly next to Edward's sleeping body. Our heat combined to make the bed cozy and comfortable, but I had to get up. I had to tell Alice about everything that had happened tonight.

I brushed my hand against Edward's forehead, enjoying the feel of his silky hair against my fingertips. He looked so peaceful with that happy little smile on his face. I sighed and stretched, trying to relieve some of the aches in my muscles from our last energetic romp in the sheets.

I climbed out of the bed as quietly as I could, so as not to disturb him. I looked around the room, finally locating my suitcase. I shivered in the cool hotel room as I hurried to dress in some comfortable clothes.

I smiled so wide it hurt my face when I looked down at my hand to admire my ring. It sparkled in the dim lights. I walked to the bathroom and brushed my hair, again admiring my ring as it flashed in the fluorescent lights. I even held my hand up and looked at the reflection in the mirror so I could see it from that perspective as well. I was getting really sappy and dorky now.

I realized that I didn't know which room Alice and Jasper were staying in, so I rummaged around in my bag until I found my cell phone. I tiptoed back into the bathroom and shut the door so I could call her.

"Alice? Hey, which room are you in?" I asked when she picked up. "Okay, I'm gonna come by cuz I have some really big news!"

Alice's excitement couldn't be contained, so I decided I should get there quickly so she wouldn't come find me instead. In my haste, I tripped several times but always caught myself along the wall, thankfully.

By the time I got to Alice and Jasper's room, I was breathing quickly. It was kind of pathetic, really. I guess maybe sex isn't enough physical activity, eh?

I rapped my knuckles against the door, admiring my ring once more. Alice threw it open less than a second later, her eyes wide with curiosity. She was bouncing on the balls of her feet, her whole body quivering the way really excited dogs do. I just shook my head and laughed, my eyes searching for Jasper.

My favorite boy (aside from Edward) was definitely Jasper. He was so mellow and easygoing. I loved hanging around him because he always made me feel so serene. He was the ideal guy for Alice, seeing as how she was a little bundle of energy. They balanced each other so well.

I found him reclined on the bed, his bare chest covered in little red scratches. What the heck? Oh! Eww! I quickly averted my gaze as he smiled his trademark lazy smile at me. He looked like he'd been caught in a tornado, and I had to really stop thinking about it or I'd get queasy.

Alice, however, looked as perfectly put together as always. Not one hair was out of place and her make up was impeccable, even at eleven o'clock at night.

"Bella! What's the news? Tell me now! Now!" she squealed.

My eyes shot back to Jasper. I wasn't sure if Edward wanted to tell the guys himself, or if he was going to tell them at all. It wasn't like we were actually engaged, or anything.

I shrugged self-consciously and pulled her out into the hallway. She got the message and closed the door behind her. I bent toward her and whispered in her ear, "Edward gave me a promise ring."

Alice pulled back, looking completely dumbfounded. I was nervous, wondering what she would say now. I didn't have to wonder long, however. "OH. MY. GOD. BELLA!!! That's like an engagement ring, right?" she yelled.

I looked around hastily, trying to shush her without much success. She grabbed my left hand and held it up to the light so she could see the ring. Her appraising eye made me flush, wondering if she would be critical of it.

"Hmm..." she said distractedly.

I hunched my shoulders, prepared to defend my beautiful and meaningful ring. She turned it this way and that, checking it from different angles.

"Edward got me an aquamarine because he said it had good symbolism behind it," I said defensively.

Alice's eyes shot up to mine and she looked confused for a moment before her face relaxed into a look of amusement. I wondered what the heck that was about, but I didn't question it. She finally dropped my hand and announced it was breathtaking. I let my tense shoulders relax.

She turned back and pulled me into the hotel room. Jasper was still laying in bed, but at least now he was wearing a shirt. He was watching a documentary on the history channel, and I just shook my head at him. This guy couldn't get enough of the history stuff.

Alice bounced up onto the bed and curled up next to Jasper, her hand finding his. Jasper's bigger hand wrapped around Alice's and my heart warmed at the sight. I loved this couple so much. She laid her head on his shoulder and Jasper's small smile lit up the room with a gentle glow.

I sat in the chair by the standard writing table in the corner, wondering what I was supposed to do now.

Alice waited until the commercial break before taking the remote from Jasper and muting the television. She grabbed Jasper's chin and looked him deep in the eyes.

"Jasper, Bella and Edward aren't allowed to get married before us, okay?" she said sternly.

Jasper visibly gulped before nodding obediently. Alice's serious expression relaxed into a satisfied smirk.

I just shook my head and stood up, wanting to get out of their hair and back to Edward before he woke up.

The next morning, we found ourselves unwilling to wake up. Edward was groaning in misery at the late night of little sleep, but I just smacked him playfully and reminded him that he wasn't complaining when he was yelling my name. He promptly shut his mouth and climbed out of bed.

I got ready quickly, not bothering to shower or get ready for school at the hotel. I hadn't bothered packing my bathroom stuff because I didn't want Charlie to be suspicious.

Edward's coppery highlights gleamed in the early morning sun as we climbed into the Volvo. The others probably weren't even awake yet. I huddled into the seat, trying to generate enough body heat to warm myself up in the frigid air. Edward climbed in and turned the heat on full blast.

We made the drive back to Forks in contented silence. He held my hand over the stick shift most of the way, and I couldn't keep the smile off my face. I felt so at peace with the world that I felt as if nothing could possibly break this happiness.

The cruiser was gone by the time Edward dropped me off, so I asked him to come inside. We still had half an hour before we had to leave for school, but I suddenly wasn't in the mood anymore. I wanted to spend the day with my boyfriend.

I pulled Edward up the stairs and into my bedroom, shutting the door behind us. He looked slightly confused, but he got the message quickly enough when I pounced on him.

I grabbed his hair, somewhat roughly. I pulled his mouth down as I came up on my tiptoes and crushed my lips to his. I bit his bottom lip and he opened his mouth in shock. Taking advantage, my tongue slipped inside and warred with his for dominance.

Edward grabbed me around my waist forcefully and swung me around, pressing me against the wall next to my bedroom door. His hands ran over my torso, gripping my breasts with fervent urgency. I groaned into his mouth, biting his lip once more.

I arched my hips into his and tugged at his shirt, listening to the buttons popping in my haste to get him naked. I wanted him completely fucking naked. Now.

After tossing his shirt as far away as possible, I smirked up at him sexily. Edward's hands came up and pressed into the wall, forming a cage around me. His own smirk was fucking killing my panties. His eyes were half-closed and darkened with lust. I felt the heat rising in my blood.

I gripped his head and forced him back down to ravage his mouth. My legs shimmied up his to wrap around his waist insistently. Edward's muscles bunched under my ravenous hands as I ran them over his chest and back. I fucking loved how ripped he was over every inch of his body.

Edward was pushing me into the wall so much so that I was amazed we weren't leaving a dent in the plaster. His erection was threatening to punch a hole in my belly button, but that was exactly what I wanted. I reached down to grab him roughly through his pants, lest my intentions be misconstrued.

This would be rough. This would be dirty. And this would be oh-so-satisfying. Why? Because he was mine. Fucking mine. And I would have him right now.

I shoved his pants off and stuck my hands in his boxer briefs to grip him skin-to-skin. He groaned and muttered "Fuck" into my mouth. I felt the wetness seeping through my pajama pants and down my inner thighs. Edward's hands were rough on my skin, likely leaving bruises. My pants hit the floor and his fingers drove into me with urgent force.

I grinned in triumph. My Edward was losing some of that maddening self control. Finally.

I arched my back enough to push him back from the wall. I wanted this. I wanted Edward to take me like he couldn't help himself. I wanted to my brains fucked out.

My heart slammed against my ribcage as Edward bent me over the bed. My hair formed a curtain over my face as he wrapped one arm around my waist and used the other hand to push down between my shoulder blades, bringing me face-to-face with my comforter.

The moisture was flowing from my pussy freely now. I could feel his legs pressing against the back of my thighs, and I clenched my muscles in anticipation.

He reached between us and stroked his fingers along my slit, gathering the wetness and spreading it on his dick before he positioned himself at my entrance. His hands wrapped around my hips firmly and he plowed into me with all his might.

I lurched up onto my toes from his thrusts, and I threw my head back in agonizing pleasure. Edward was pounding my pussy like bread dough, and I fucking loved it. I let the throaty moans escape at top volume.

Edward was cursing a blue streak, which made me even wetter. His left hand was cupping my left breast firmly, squeezing it in rhythm with his pounding thrusts. I spread my legs even wider, trying to take as much of him as possible.

"Fuck me, Bella, that feels so fucking... ungh! AHHH!" he was yelling.

I could feel myself getting close, so I thrust back against him, grinding and groaning. Edward grabbed a hand full of my hair and pulled it back, twisting it so my face was turned over my shoulder.

"Look at me, Bella. Fucking look at me while I make you come!" he growled.

I did. And I did. Oh boy, did I. I came so hard that spots blurred my vision. My pussy clenched around his cock and he yelled in triumph before he pushed me down on the bed and came inside me with such force, I just whimpered.

Edward laid on top of me for a few moments while both of us caught our breath. It was too much. I wanted to bronze this moment and hang it on my wall. I wanted to give Edward a trophy for being such a sex god.

I wanted to drag his ass to Vegas.

Instead, we curled up and fell asleep. I woke up a few hours later when I heard my phone ringing. I looked around groggily, finally finding it among the clothes strewn about my bedroom floor.

I looked at the screen. Great. What did she want now?

"Hey, Alice. What's up?" I asked.

"Bella! Get your ass down here before I come in and get you myself!" she yelled excitedly.

I groaned and dragged myself out of bed, climbing over Edward and poking him until he woke up too. We both dressed reluctantly and shuffled down the stairs, still exhausted from our long night and...active...morning.

Jasper and Alice stood beside Alice's car in the driveway, and Alice was barely containing herself. I wondered what her deal was.

Edward and Jasper gave each other their little man-hug-handshake deal and Alice practically jumped into my arms. I pulled her back, taking a good look at her.

"What's got you so worked up?" I grumbled.

Alice just giggled and grabbed Jasper's left hand, holding it up in front of Edward and me. My mouth dropped open as I realized he was wearing a ring. "What the....?" Edward and I both asked in unison.

"Alice proposed to me," Jasper mumbled, looking slightly pink.

"And he said YES!" Alice squealed.

A/N: Alice is nuts. I always thought she'd be the type to propose to Jasper, and then make him wear a manly engagement ring. Color me amused.

Happy to be back with the smut, folks? :)
