Chapter 3: Tension Of The Sexual Kind!

Alice's POV

I woke up in my Edward's arms, and smiled brightly, he was my perfect match, after all this time, I still couldn't get enough of him. I stretched and moved out of his arms, and threw on a house coat. "Where are you going Baby." was Edwards rough voice, full of sleep.

I smiled. "I'm gonna go check on the two naïve people in my life." I giggled. Edward chuckled and sat up, throwing a shirt over his amazing abs. I sighed and Edward snickered before standing.

"So I made a reservation for us tonight in Seattle, dinner and a hotel." Said Edward, he ran his hand through his hair and looking all kinds of nervous.

"Oh Edward your so perfect." I swooned and jumped into his lap. Getting away with just the two of us, would be perfect. I kissed him deeply and jumped up pulling him with me. As soon as we made it down the stairs, I knew something had happened. Bella was in the kitchen with her head down, and Dad was outside sitting on the porch. The time read just after 12.

"Morning Bella." I said in a loud voice. Bella jumped and almost fell off her stool. I laughed at how jumpy she was. "What's wrong?" I asked.

"Nothing, just didn't get much sleep last night…." I could hear her mumble something about stupid sex dreams under her breath and I almost burst into laughter.

"What did you say?"

"Oh umm nothing, I just didn't get much sleep… umm new bed and all…" I nodded letting her off the hook. And if she did have sex dreams, that would be the weirdness. Bella was loud in her sleep, and my Dad is a light sleeper, I bet he woke up to it. I snickered and walked outside. The sun was shining for once, and the air was fresh, I sat beside my Dad on the porch steps and leaned my head against him.

"Edward and I are taking off to Seattle for the night, are you and Bella gonna be okay." I asked. Dad stiffened beside me and cleared his throat.

"Tonight hey?" He questioned and looked over at me. His eyes held so much emotion and I didn't quite understand why. He wrapped his arm around me and pulled me close, kissing the top of my head. "You will always be my Baby girl, you know that right." I nodded looking into his eyes. "I love you."

"I love you too Daddy." I said before hugging him tightly, I felt like he was saying goodbye and I didn't understand why. "Is everything okay Dad? Are you okay?" I asked hoping he wasn't sick or anything.

"Of course I'm alright Darlin'." He gave me a big smile, and I sighed in relief.

"So you, and Bella, will you two be alright tonight." I asked again. Dad's face turned a little pink, and he nodded his head, saying a quiet 'of course' "Is everything alright Dad, you look like your blushing." I giggled a little and Dad moved his arm from my shoulder.

"Oh don't be silly, I am fine, Bella and I will be fine." He said while standing up and stretching.

"Well I hope you two would be fine, you are two consenting adults after all." I smiled and bumped his shoulder before turning around to walk back inside.

Jasper's POV

Alice's words were ringing through my head. She was right, we were two consenting adults. But why would she say that, did she know how I felt about her best friend, did her best friend share those feelings with me. I groaned and ran my hands through my hair. Walking back inside, deciding to face Bella.

She was sitting at the counter in the kitchen. "So Bella, I guess it will just be us tonight." I said as if it were no big deal, while leaning against the kitchen entrance. Her head snapped up, and eyes grew wide.

"Yeah I guess so hey, Alice just told me too." She said with a small smile. I nodded and walked forward, grabbing a cup from the cupboard. After taking a long drink of water, I walked out, deciding that it was a good time to mow the grass, and didn't feel like sitting in awkward silence.

Half way through I waved to Alice and Edward leaving, taking a deep breath, My Daughter was coming back engaged, it was a hard thing to swallow.

Bella's POV

"Ok Bella we will be back tomorrow." Said Alice as she dug through my closet, trying to dress me up even though she wouldn't be here. "Here wear this, it's a beautiful day out, go outside and enjoy it." She handed me a pair of very short blue jean shorts and a white woman's muscle shirt which was slightly see through, so I decided to wear my white lace bra and panty set, so it would blend in. I used to get angry with Alice when she tried to dress me, but she never made me look bad, so I got used to it.

"Have fun Alice." I said while pulling her into a tight hug, I knew that she would come back with a ring, I couldn't wait for her to tell me.

Once I had showered and dressed I walked outside with a book. 'Acheron' and sat on the steps. Jasper was mowing the lawn and he looked so delicious. I tried to read but couldn't get past even one sentence. So instead I peeked over my book, and watched. His shirt was removed and hanging out his back pocket. He had sweat rolling down his chest, and his hair was damp, and clinging to his face. I wanted to lick him.

I must have sat there for an hour, supposedly reading. When Jasper was finished he put the mower away, and came to sit beside me.

"So what would you rather for supper Darlin', Pizza, or a BBQ?" Jasper questioned. I breathed in his scent deeply, he smelled of musk and preferred stock, and all man. I shook my head and cleared my throat.

"Hmm I think a BBQ would be good, I can make the salad." I told him, thinking we should take full advantage of the gorgeous day.

"Sounds perfect." He said before standing up and walking inside.

I could hear the shower going, and it brought me back to the early morning. When I went back to bed, after the very awkward kitchen moment, seeing Jasper with his erection straining against his pants, was enough to make me want to fall over, I could hear Jasper in the shower, and it didn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what he was doing.

I could hear his groaning and his heavy breathing, against my wall, it only managed to turn me on, and leave me so unsatisfied. The man was a god, and I wanted him so bad. To think of him wrapping his hand around his erection, I wanted to run in there and replace his hand with my own.

Jasper touched my shoulder and I jumped and squeaked. I was so lost in my thoughts, that I didn't even hear him come back out. Jasper removed his hand quickly and cleared his throat. "Umm sorry, I was trying to talk to you, but you seemed to be really caught up in your book…" I apologized and he continued. "Would you like a beer or glass of wine?" He questioned, looking unsure.

The thought of having a couple drinks and losing a little bit of tension sounded great. "Hmm I think a beer would be great." I said as I stood up and followed him to the kitchen. Jasper pulled out a couple Corona beer, and popped off the tops.

After handing me the beer, he clanked our glasses together, and said "Cheers." I nodded and said it back, before taking a long pull from the crisp drink. "My Daughter is going to come back engaged." He choked out, so much emotion in his voice that it took my breath away. "I think Edward is a great guy and I am happy it is him, but damn, I cant get past the fact that she is my Baby girl, and I am going to have to give her away." He shook his head and took a long drink.

I put my hand on his upper arm and looked up at him. "She will always be your Baby girl, even after they are married. You two have a bond, that no one could break." I told him honestly, it was the truth. They were closer than any parent or child I had ever seen before. Jasper put his hand on top of mine and squeezed. The minute his skin touched mine, I felt like my skin was on fire, and not in a bad way. His hand was warm and sent tingles through my body and straight to my core. I moved my hand after a couple seconds, scared I might actually rip his clothes off.

After that Jasper grabbed some steaks from the fridge and started to marinade them. I pulled some things out for a salad, and prepared it quickly, Jasper had put on some upbeat music with some country twang, and I danced around the kitchen, preparing a simple dessert, which was cheese cake of course. After I was done I went back outside and watched Jasper at ease on the Bar B Q he looked so relaxed. I could get used to this. The thought of spending all my days with him, gave me a joy.

What if I slipped up and did or said something, what if he didn't feel the same way. What if he thought of me as a child. Good lord what if he thought of me as a Daughter. I shook my head at my ridiculousness, Jasper and I hadn't even met till I was close to 19, I was never a child around him. I was thankful for that.

What if something did happen and Alice got angry, or if I messed up the relationship between them two. I could never forgive myself if that happened. I watched as Jasper flipped the steaks, I could see his profile, a slight smile on his lips, his hair falling into his eyes. I wanted to sweep his hair out of his eyes. Run my fingers through the soft looking curls. I took another swig of my beer, and realized I had already drained it. I stood up and walked over to where Jasper stood, and grabbed his empty beer bottle. "Would you like another?" I asked. Staring him directly in the eyes. We just stared for several long seconds, before Jasper nodded.

"Yes Sugar I would love some more." He spoke, his eyes flashed and my panties damn near dropped. I nodded and turned, walking away quickly.

We ate supper outside, and spoke of our last couple years. Jasper talked about his latest project, he worked with wood. Carving and building. I told him of my writing. We sat there long after the food was finished, and the beer was getting low. We laughed and joked, and the tension was still there, but easier to ignore with the alcohol running through our system.

My phone rang and I looked down to see Alice's number, it was just past 8 in the evening and I had a feeling it happened. "It's Alice." I said to Jasper as I picked it up. "Alice." I said with a big smile on my face.

"Oh Bella, oh my god, Edward proposed to me, he asked me to marry him, can you believe it." Alice was screaming and squealing into the phone, I smiled and congratulated her. She told me how he proposed. It sounded perfect. "Are you around my Dad right now." She asked quietly. I said a quick yes and Alice sighed. "Ok go to your room so we can talk, alright." I stood up and told Jasper I would be right back, feeling sick to my stomach, oh god what if she knew. "Ok now I know you didn't want me to know this, but I am your best friend and you are mine, and I know when we first met, I told you it was no big deal and it was just a crush you would get over…. But obviously it runs deeper…"

"Oh god Alice, no please, don't be angry with me, I would never do anything…" I started to explain, feeling more than a little sick. The thought of losing both Alice and Jasper flashing in my head.

"Oh Bella, stop right now… I'm not angry, nor will you EVER lose me. I just think maybe it was time you did something about it. I am pretty sure my Dad feels the same way, but please god, spare me the details, and I will never call you Mommy, Mama, Mom or any other name like that." she giggled, I sat down on my bed feeling weak and like the biggest weight had just been lifted off of me… she knew, she wasn't angry. "Anyway, I am going to go make passionate love to my fiancé. So enjoy your night. I love you." And then she was gone. The phone line went dead and I sat there feeling beyond stumped. Did he feel the same way. Did I want to act on it, hell yes I wanted to act on it. What if he turned me down.

I walked back out of the room and grabbed a couple more beer for us both and walked back out, the table had been cleared, and Jasper was nowhere to be seen. I sat down on the front step and drank my beer quickly, the coldness almost hurt my throat. I felt so foggy. I didn't know what to think. Of course I wanted to be with Jasper, I just never thought there would be a chance… ever.

I heard soft music playing in the living room, and I got up, and walked in. There was Jasper sitting on a chair, with a guitar on his lap, strumming softly. This man just keeps getting better and better. "I didn't know you played." I said softly. Jasper looked up and gave me a crooked smile.

"I don't play often anymore… but when I have some drinks, I do get the urge. I hope you don't mind." He said, his hands stilling.

"God no I don't mind at all, in fact it is quite the opposite. Maybe you can teach me how to play." I said in an afterthought. Jaspers eyes widened before he looked me up and down and nodded.

"Sure why don't you come sit down beside me." he said while standing up and sitting on the couch. I walked over and sat closely beside him, my bare legs rubbing up against his blue jeans. Jasper put his guitar in my lap and grabbed my hands in his own. Placing my hands and fingers in the right place. His arm was awkwardly around me, trying to reach properly, after a couple minutes. He huffed and stood up. I was going to ask him what was wrong but didn't have time. Jasper slipped in behind me, his legs on either side of me. "I hope this doesn't bother you." He spoke into my hair.

"No not at all." I practically squeaked out. Jasper ran his fingers over the strings showing me different chords. I tried hard, to concentrate on it, but Jasper's breath on my neck, and his legs on either side, was too much for me, combined with the alcohol. I was in a lovely bubble. I leaned my back further into Jasper, and let out a moan before I could stop myself. My eyes shot open, and I sat up straighter. "Sorry, I cant seem to concentrate." I said quietly, feeling like an ass for asking him to teach me, then not paying attention.

Jasper chuckled and put his face into my hair. "No worries Darlin' neither can I." His words vibrated off of my neck and I shivered. Jasper moved the guitar from my lap, the back of his hand sliding across my bare legs. I got up slowly, making sure I didn't fall over, on my weak assed legs, and walked to the dark kitchen. I grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge and gulped it back. Trying desperately to clear my head. "You okay Darlin'?" Asked Jasper, I jumped at his nearness. He was standing directly in front of me. The light from the other room made his hair look like a halo. I nodded and smiled. Not trusting my own voice.

He stepped closer to me, and grabbed my water, taking a long swig from it. Some dripped from his mouth and down his chin. I took a deep breath and leaned up on my tippy toes. I licked the bottom of his chin, up to his bottom plump lip. Jasper groaned and leaned his head down so his lips were closer. I kissed his lips, and the tingles intensified. I placed my hands on his chest and leaned up to kiss him more firmly. When he jumped back like he had been shocked. His eyes were wide, and he looked like a caged animal.

"That- that cant happ- happen ever again." He said in a strained voice. I covered my mouth, feeling sick. Oh god I just made a fool of myself, and he clearly didn't feel the same way.

"Oh god I am so sorry." I said through my hand, before walking from the room. I walked to my bedroom and closed and locked my door. I placed my I-pod headphones in my ears and blasted some tunes. I could feel my tears prickling my eyes. After so long of dreaming about him and thinking about him, now it would always be tainted with this horrible night, now that I knew he didn't feel the same way. I fell asleep almost instantly, from the alcohol swirling around my system.

Jasper's POV

Talking with Bella that night, and getting to know her further was a glorious thing. She was an amazing woman and seemed so much older than her years. When she asked me to teach her how to play guitar, I was ecstatic, and I tried to get comfortable without having to straddle her but in the end that is exactly what I did. Neither of us seemed to be able to pay much attention, I was too worried about trying to keep my body in check, to keep my dick from jumping. It was harder than I expected. When she leaned her back against me and moaned, I almost thrust myself against her backside… almost. When I removed the guitar from her lap I ran the back of my hand across the top of her bare thighs. Bella moaned again and stood up on shaky legs, walking to the kitchen. I knew right then, that this was not one sided. I followed her in there, the darkness enveloping us and giving me strength. When I stepped closer and took a drink of her water, I never expected shy Bella to make a move. Feeling her tongue run up my chin and over my lip, I almost lost it. I groaned and leaned down. Our lips pressing together.

Just as she was about to push against me further, I though of my daughter, and how I was betraying her right then. I jumped back, my breathing heavy. I felt horrid, and torn. Kissing Bella was something that I wanted for so long, but hurting my daughter in the process was unacceptable.

When I told Bella that could never happen again, the hurt in her eyes was bone crushing. She apologized and walked out of the room. Obviously she was horrified that after her bold move I turned her down. What if she thought I was disgusted with her advances. I didn't want her to think that. I walked down the hallway and stood in front of her closed door. I needed to talk to her about it, to explain to her why I said that. I knocked on her door and got no response. I tried the handle and it was locked. "Bella, can we talk, please?" I asked through the door. There was no movement at all. I let out a frustrated sigh and walked away. Ignoring me was not going to help the issue at all.

I grabbed the key that unlocked all the doors inside the house and unlocked her door. I opened it slowly, "I'm coming in Bella." I said as I opened it. As soon as I opened the door, I could hear the music from her headphones, which is why she wouldn't answer me, she couldn't hear me. I walked closer and noticed she was already fast asleep. I slowly walked over to her and sat down beside her sleeping form. She was laying on her side. Her lip was quivering, and she looked like she was upset. I ran my hand across her forehead, feeling the incredible tingle. I wished things could be simpler.

Bella leaned into my hand and breathed my name. My name slipping from her sleeping form, made my heart skip a beat. I got up and walked out of her room, keeping it open behind me.

I walked into my own room, leaving my door open as well, I took my clothing off, and slipped into bed with only my boxers on. I should have gone about things in a different way.

Okay there it is…. Hope you enjoyed!!
