A/N: Well, we are coming to the end of the story. We did decide to do one more chapter, hoping to wrap things up a little bit more…we hope you guys don't mind! We have really appreciated everyone's enthusiasm about the story, it makes writing so much more fun! We don't respond to every review but it doesn't mean we don't love hearing from you guys.

We changed our format a little for this chapter and may do the same for the next as well. We are changing pov in the middle and then going back to Edward's pov for the end. It just flowed better this way and we could fit more into the chapter. Hope it's okay!

Oh, and we wanted to thank, albeit a little belatedly, anyone who voted for us in the Twilighted Awards! We were really excited to have been nominated!

Disclaimer: We don't own Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, or shiny silver Volvos. Unfortunately for us.

Listening to Alice this afternoon made me realize that we were being overbearing, but it just wasn't something you could turn off when it comes to your younger siblings. Emmett was even more protective than I was. I guess with him being the oldest he was bound to feel that way.

After our talk I decided to head up to the library to see if Bella wanted to get some lunch. When I got there she was busy helping a student so I just hung back until she was done. She saw me waiting and smiled over the kid's head, before leaning back down to see what his next question was. Whatever her answer for him had been was obviously enough because she walked over to me after sending him on his way.

"I would have thought you would have been sick of me by now, or at least sick of the library." She looked at me with her eyebrows raised.

"Oh, I never get tired of the library, way too much crazy stuff going on here." I leaned in conspiratorially and whispered, "You know, I heard some law student found himself a hot librarian to get frisky with in the stacks. It is frisky right? I heard that they…"

She screamed but caught herself quickly, clapping her hand over her mouth. "You jerk!" She swiped at my arm, just barely brushing my bicep. I laughed loudly, much to her irritation.

"Is this guy bothering you again, Bella?" Mike sneered at me.

"No, in fact he's not. I don't know if you two have been properly introduced, Mike." Bella wrapped her arm around my waist, "This is my boyfriend, Edward. Edward, I believe you know Mike."

"Yes, I remember." I answered wryly, thinking of all the times Mike has been a little too late to help Bella out. Some security guard he is.

He looked back and forth between us before just shaking his head and walking away, not bothering to continue the conversation. Looking down at Bella snuggled up against me, a big smile on my face.

"What are you gloating about?" She looked up at me, frowning.

"Boyfriend? Sounds like we are in high school."

"Well, what do you expect me to tell people? This is the guy that stalked me at my job for weeks before we started sleeping together?" She snorted. "Trust me; boyfriend sounds a lot better than that."

"Stalker? I don't know that sounds kind of cool, mysterious." She elbowed me in the side. "Maybe we could come up with something that sounds a little more mature."

"What about manfriend? Or hot, sexy, boy toy? Even better, how about extremely needy law student?" She was laughing at me now.

I leaned down close to her ear, while dragging my fingers up her spine and burying my hand in her hair.

"You think I am sexy?" I whispered.

She shuddered, closing her eyes briefly and taking a deep breath.

"God, you'd have to be blind to not realize that. What about you? Am I your girlfriend? Ladyfriend kind of sounds like I'm a hooker." She was joking but her voice was soft.

"How about I call you my gorgeous librarian? Ooh. I know, what about my damsel in distress?" She looked up at me in mock horror. "I think girlfriend will work, for now." I said the last part quietly, hoping she wouldn't hear me.

Her eyes darted towards mine but she didn't say anything. I wondered if she was just unsure of what to say or if she figured it was easier to ignore me. Sometimes I wished I could tell what she was thinking, wished that I could get inside her head.

"Let's go. I was going to come back into work after lunch but I think I am just going to work from home. I am kind of tired." She stretched her arms, before leaning back into me.

"I don't know why you would be tired. Maybe we can take a nap together after lunch."

"Nap, sure. Like I am that dumb." She snorted again. I was beginning to think that was my favorite sound.

"Let's get out of here at least. Go grab your stuff and I'll wait by the door." I wanted to call and see if Jasper was at the apartment. I figured we could pick up something and take it back to the apartment to eat. But I didn't want to go there if he and Alice were there.

I could agree to be civil about it but I didn't want to mess with having Angry Alice around Bella. Who knows what Alice would say to Bella? Her comment about me having indiscretions and not respecting women made me worry about their first meeting. I really liked about Bella and I didn't want Alice getting all vigilante on me, and try to warn Bella about me. I hadn't been that bad, but I remembered her stalker comment and wondered if it might scare her off.

Alice only really knew about one of my girlfriends. This chick I had dated while I was at UW. Her name was Tanya and while I really enjoyed going out with her, well mostly sleeping with her, I never wanted it be anything more. We dated off and on for almost a year but it was never serious and I know it wasn't monogamous on either side of the line. But Tanya got upset when one of her sorority sisters got engaged and I refused to ask her to marry me. She liked the idea of me going in to law school and also of a big fat diamond on her hand.

Well, that fight turned into a disaster because my parents had been in town visiting and when we all went to dinner one night Tanya decided to drop the whole marriage bomb in front of my parents. Esme would love to plan a wedding for one of her children so she got a little too excited a little too fast.

When I explained the situation to my parents they understood, I was finishing my degree and then going to start law school right afterwards. I knew Mom was disappointed but she just hugged me and told me to wait for the right girl.

I felt like I had found her. I wouldn't do anything so stupid as to ask Bella to marry me now, but I had never felt more comfortable around someone. I never felt like I could just be myself, but with her it was easy. She was so funny and laid back.

And the snorting. It killed me.

No one was answering at the apartment, and neither Alice nor Jasper was answering their phones. Let's just hope that they are out and not busy at the apartment. Ugh.

Bella was headed towards me, waving good bye to people. She ran into the security gates, but played it off well, acting like she just wasn't watching where she was going. I shook my head and smiled at her.

"Don't you dare laugh at me! I think you like how clumsy I am, it gives you more chances to save me, hero-boy."

"So, now I am back to boy again? I thought we talked about this. You can call me knight, I'll call you damsel."

"Hilarious."

We walked out into the cold fall air, both pulling our jackets closer around us. I moved Bella so that she was fit snug under my arm and we headed to my place.

"I am so sorry," I told Jasper as he winced while I once again tried to keep a cold pack on his nose. The swelling was bad. Stupid Emmett!

We were sitting in Edward and Jasper's living room, him having returned shortly after Edward and Emmett had left. Both had been in a hurry to leave not bothering to answer any of my questions.

"Its okay, you're worth it," he maneuvered around my hands and kissed me. "Battle wounds just give the appearance that I fought for my girl."

I laughed, "I think that only works if you can say 'Should've seen the other guy!'"

He stuck his tongue out at me.

"We are grown ups, remember?"

He waved me off. "Boring."

Jasper seemed to be so relaxed now. It wasn't anything like when we first got together, he had always been so afraid of getting caught, but now he was almost carefree.

Well, except for the brother thing, which was pretty much over now.

"So, Alice, how did it go with your brothers? Everyone ready to give me a big hug and welcome me into the family?" he chuckled at his own joke.

I rolled my eyes, my brothers. I guess it could have gone worse. If either of them had been paying any real attention I guess it may have gone a little differently, but as it was I was pleasantly surprised by the progress we made. I think they understood. At least Edward did, I am sure I will have to remind Em more than once. If Edward was a slow learner, Emmett was absolutely clueless.

"It went alright I guess," I told Jasper. "No one even raised their voice really. I told them what I told you and Edward conceded. I don't think I could ask for much more from them really."

Jas nodded a little now looking slightly apprehensive. "What's wrong?" I asked him.

"Um, do you think that Edward or Emmett will ever going to speak to me again?"

I sighed, "Jas, I am sure they will get use to the idea. We will work on Edward first, Em won't be too resistant if we can get Edward to come around." It was logical.

"But Edward is pretty damn stubborn," Jasper said dubiously.

"Don't I know it…" I muttered but shook my head. "I know you have known Edward for a while now, but I know him better. I promise he will lighten up as time goes by. I know how he is about things like this, being over protective is his MO so unless he finds something to occupy his time it will be hard at first, but after he sees that everything is going to be okay he will back off." I had to believe this was true, the other options weren't ones I wanted to think about.

I have been dealing with both of them for as long as I can remember. It was a good thing they had been gone most of my middle school and high school years, as it was, the fact that I was Emmett and Edward's sister was enough to keep a lot of the guys away. I am pretty certain they made sure of that. I used to think that they had spies and issued blanket threats on a regular basis.

"Well, guess there isn't much else we can do. I love you and I am not giving you up. So if they want to be asses about it then I can wait them out." Jasper wrapped his arm around my shoulder.

I nuzzled myself into his side but he had other ideas. He pulled me into his lap easily planting a sweet kiss on my head.

He could be so cute.

Abruptly he changed course, going from cute to sexy without warning. I knew the look in his eyes and I knew that I wouldn't argue. I craved him and after this day, I deserved him. We deserved this.

He moved me so that I was straddling him, my skirt starting to ride up as I spread my legs. He worked it up further with his hands sliding firmly up my thighs. I pushed myself close so that I could feel his already stiff cock against my core, and I crashed my lips against his.

Wasting no time he thrust his tongue into my mouth hungrily, moving his hands to my ass to set the rhythm he needed, rubbing me against his length. I twisted my hands into his hair pulling him deeper into the kiss.

He released my lips so that we could catch our breath, only to begin trailing wet kisses down across my jaw and onto my neck. Once at my pulse point he began sucking and nibbling the sensitive skin making me moan louder.

Jas moved his hands from my ass tentatively, making sure that I would keep the pace when he stopped guiding me. When I did he began working his hands up the front of my sweater. His skilled hands found my breasts quickly, kneading them gently through the thin lace of my bra, my nipples immediately hard from his touch.

I threw my head back giving him better access to my neck and collarbone which he readily took. I ground myself into his dick desperately trying to get the friction I needed but knew that it was not going to be enough.

Pulling away from him, I reached for the front of his jeans. He instantly realized what I was doing and wanted to help. He moved like he was going to stand up but I stopped him, holding my hand to his chest so that he wouldn't get up when I did.

Standing up I reached under my skirt and slid my hot pink lace panties off leaving the skirt in place. Jaspers eyes widened as I moved to position myself over him again. I did not move too close this time wanting to be able to reach his zipper.

I made quick work of it, pushing his pants down enough that I could have good access to my target. I then moved my hands into the opening of his boxers releasing his hot arousal from its restraint. I stroked him slowly as he laid his head back against the couch, his eyes closed with a loud sigh.

I wanted him so badly and I didn't want to wait to feel him inside me so I quickly adjusted myself so that his cock was right at my core, my hands still stroking him, my knees on either side of his legs and I thrust myself down onto him.

"Oh…God…Alice!" Jasper gasped as I worked the same pace as before while taking his entire length inside of me. I held onto his shoulders as I pushed myself down in hard strokes, his hands at my waist guiding me, keeping me steady.

The pace only increased and our loud groans and pants were closer together as I felt myself slowly coming to the brink. I pushed down, grinding my hips into him until my walls clenched around him forcefully. I screamed his name and felt him stiffen inside of me as he climaxed.

I collapsed onto him. Holding my body as close as I could to his I worked to catch my breath. As our breathing became more even and I began to feel relaxed with his arms wrapped around me we heard the front door being unlocked.

My eyes widened in terror. That would have to be one of the guys, probably Edward, I didn't want a repeat of what happened the day before! Jasper's nose couldn't take another hit.

Quickly, I extracted myself from Jas's arms and began to straighten my clothes out. Jasper did the same. I threw my panties at Jasper, knowing I would never be able to get them back on without some work. He put them into his pocket.

I sat back down beside Jas just as a snorting laugh came from the entry way.

Interesting. My brother brought a girl home. I am guessing he didn't know we were here. He would not have brought her here if he thought they would run into me. He wasn't stupid. He knew if I didn't approve there would be no keeping my mouth shut.

They didn't make it into the room for a minute. Jasper and I didn't say a word, both just glad we had time to compose ourselves.

We patiently waited for them to make their way through now. We were both curious.

I knew Edward had been acting strange; I guessed it could be over a girl. Jasper raised his eyebrows at me when it got quiet. We had both turned so we were facing the door way. Then we heard more whispers and more giggles before Edward walked into the room with his arms wrapped around the waist of a small brown haired girl, his face buried in her neck. Her head was turned toward him so that I could not see her face but she was very familiar. Then they both raised their heads at the sound of the television we had on.

"Bella?" both Jasper and I said in surprise.

"Shit" Edward sighed.

Bella looked over at Edward and smacked his arm playfully. "Be nice!"

"Alice!" Bella said when she turned back to us. "I see you guys worked it out," she noted tilting her head toward Jasper.

Edward looked up when she said this. "You knew? About them?"

Bella looked at him and nodded. I saw a flash of annoyance in Edward's eyes until Bella leaned her self into him, her head against his chest and sighed with a small giggle, "Don't they make a cute couple?" Instantly, Edward wrapped his arm around her, his expression softening into a smile.

Well, you could have knocked me down with a feather because I had never seen anyone affect Edward like that. Ever.

"So, Bella? You and Edward, huh?" Jasper chimed in when it got quiet.

She shrugged. "Yeah, it's kind of a new thing."

Jasper chuckled and mumbled, "Well, that explains a lot."

I looked over at him for an explanation. "He hasn't left the library in weeks except maybe to sleep a little…" he shook his head. Edward glared at him.

"Have you been stalking her, Edward?" I couldn't help it; I had to antagonize him a little.

Bella snorted. "Relentlessly." Edwards face was twisted in mock horror at her. "But he was so cute, I couldn't resist. Even if it was a little creepy." She winked at him and he chuckled and buried his head into her neck.

If I wasn't kind of disgusted that it was my normally uptight mulish brother being all lovey-dovey it might have been cute. He must really like her. He wasn't paying any attention to Jasper and I and he looked very happy.

"Hmm," I started, Edward giving me a pleading look. Did he really think I was going to say something bad? I guess he did after that comment this morning. But really, I like Bella and Edward really wasn't like some sort of man whore or anything. Besides that fiasco with Tanya, he was just a normal guy. I smiled at him, hoping to reassure him. "So…well, uh…Jasper and I are going out to get some food. So we were just getting ready to go. We will see you guys later?"

Edward looked relieve and Bella just smiled at us. When Edward didn't say anything, Bella looked at him critically but spoke anyway. "Sure thing guys. I guess we might see you later."

I got up and pulled Jasper with me. I lead him to his room, not actually able to leave the apartment without further clothing adjustments and cleaning up, but I wanted to remove us from the odd situation, since Edward had no intention of talking at this point. If I didn't know any better I would think my brother was in love.

Once in Jas's room he sat on the bed in thought. Suddenly he chuckled, "You know, he has been acting so weird lately and I guess this explains it all. And I thought he had known something about us when he kept asking me about Bella all the time. I just thought he was trying to get me to admit it. She must have been the one who ran out of here yesterday as well, why he wouldn't tell me anything about her." He shook his head.

"Well, he looked…happy?" I said. I shrugged my shoulders.

"Food?" Jasper asked.

"Yeah, just let me get all of my clothes on," I held my hand out for my underwear.

Pulling them from his pocket he laughed again. "God, you must be like psychic or something. Imagine if we had been completely naked when they came in just then!"

I reached out and brushed his nose softly. "I wouldn't let another one of my brothers hurt you, don't you know that?"

"Great, I am being defended by the pixie girl now. I am definitely going to lose my man card!" He laughed before scooping me up in his arms. "Let's get out of here, before I start doing something Edward doesn't want to see done to his sister."

EPOV

I let out a relieved sigh when Alice and Jasper finally left. I was so glad that Alice hadn't decided to interrogate me and Bella. Or even worse, give Bella the run down on my dating history. It wasn't that bad but I just didn't want her to hear it from Alice.

We had stopped on the way to the apartment and picked up a pizza. Chicago style stuffed. Best thing ever. I put the box down on the table and went to go get some plates.

"Where are you going?" Bella looked at me, a puzzled look on her face.

"To get some plates? You do normally eat off of plates right?"

"Pssh. For pizza? What are you some kind of dandy? We don't need plates for this." She snorted again. "Wait, I bet you use a fork and knife to eat pizza, don't you."

I flushed.

"Sometimes. What's wrong with that?"

Her laughter filled the apartment.

"No way am I eating this pizza with a fork and knife. Pizza is meant to be eaten with your hands." Her voice lowered. "Or are you afraid of getting a little dirty?"

The double meaning in her statement was obvious.

"You know that I am not afraid to get dirty. You of all people would know." I smiled suggestively at her.

She blushed, even as she tried to laugh me off.

"Ok, well, then let's get to it."

We both dug into the pizza, grabbing a slice each. Bella took a big bite and then yelped.

"Damn it! That's hot!" She swallowed and then stuck her tongue out pointing to where she had gotten burned.

"You want me to kiss it and make it better?" I was already leaning towards her, planning on doing just that.

"Uh huh." Her tongue was still out, so I kissed the tip of it, before covering her lips with my own. Her hands came up to grip my shirt collar, and she melted into me. We stayed like that for a few minutes before both backing away.

"Poor baby. You just keep getting hurt. Good thing you have me here to take care of you." My hand lingered on her cheek, stroking down to her lips.

"Good thing is right." She was a little breathless and I smiled widely. "Alright, don't get too cocky there, hero boy."

"Just eat your pizza. I am ready for our nap afterwards."

"I bet you are. No funny business, though. I do need to get some work done this afternoon. And by work, I actually mean work." She raised her eyebrows at me.

"You think so highly of me. I would never disturb you while you were sleeping. Scouts honor" I held my hand up, trying to do the boy scout sign.

"Um, I think you are throwing gang signs, not the Boy Scouts sign." She was finishing up her piece of pizza. "Ok, I am full. Let's go nap it up."

"Sure, just let me put the rest of this away. And I'll be right in."

She hopped up, stretching her arms above her head. "Okay, I am going to the restroom real quick, and I'll meet you in there."

While I cleaned up our lunch remains, she headed off to the bathroom. When I was done, I walked to my room. She was already in there, going through my dresser.

"What are you looking for?"

"I need a t-shirt or something to change into. I don't like sleeping in my work clothes. Not a real nap then." She hadn't looked up from my drawer.

"Here, just wear this and I'll get you some boxers to wear as shorts." I started pulling my shirt up and over my head, the idea of her wearing my clothes making my chest tight.

She looked over at me uncertain, before nodding.

"That will work." Yes!

She was still for a moment before pulling her sweater over her head, leaving her in only her bra. I inhaled sharply, and at the noise she startled, looking up quickly.

"You going to be okay? I mean, I know I am hot stuff, but really." She joked self-deprecatingly.

"Yeah, I am just fine." I couldn't stop the smirk from forming as I watched her slid my boxers up her legs, situating them on her slim hips.

Once she had my shirt on, she walked over to my bed, laying down on the side I didn't sleep on. I just watched with satisfaction as she snuggled into my bed, the dreams I had of having her there were nothing compared to the reality.

"You going to lay down?" She turned and patted the mattress next to her.

I nodded and took my jeans off, sliding on some basketball shorts before climbing in next to her. She scooted back towards me, so that I was curved around her, pulling my arm over onto her ribs. The proximity of her whole body was definitely keep me from sleep. Or should I say, my body wouldn't let me sleep having her that close.

I heard her sigh and just lay there, watching her breath. She was gorgeous. No doubt about it. Even when her mouth was spewing sarcasm at a hundred miles per hour but this was even better. Her face was relaxed and her mouth was parted, her full lips open slightly.

Damn.

I was never going to get to sleep and it seemed I wasn't the only one up.

I just hoped she couldn't feel it. Maybe I could get up once she fell asleep and not being poking her in the back while she slept.

Her ass ground back into me, causing me to moan. I hoped I hadn't woken her up and I moved my hips back so that she couldn't feel how hard I was. But when my hips moved back, and we lost contact, she mewled softly. Her hand shot back to my hip, pulling me towards her again.

Well, I wasn't going to fight her on it.

Grinding myself into her, I slid my hand up her side, brushing my shirt up with it. When I got to the underside of her breast she groaned.

Was she awake?

I nuzzled into her neck, kissing my way up to her ear.

"Bella?" I whispered.

"Ummm?" She moaned, turning her head towards me.

Her eyes weren't open but she was smiling. I leaned in and kissed her, softly as first. She responded so I decided she was awake enough for me and I slid my tongue into her mouth, teasing her tongue with mine. Her hand came up to grip my hair on the back of my head, holding me in place.

I slid the arm that had been propping my head up under her, skimming down her stomach to the waistband of her shorts. Well, my shorts. She whimpered as I teased her, slipping my fingers just inside. She arched, groaning with want, and I slid my hand down to her panties. I rubbed her through them, her wetness seeping through.

Fuck. She was so ready.

After a few passes over her moist heat, I began pulling the shorts down over her hips. She tried to turn towards me but I kept her pinned, her back against my chest. She finally gave up and let me do my thing.

Once the shorts and panties were off, I pushed the t-shirt up over her breasts. Her bra was still on, so I plucked at her nipples through the fabric, pinching the hard tips. She was moaning continuously in my mouth, her breasts jutting out, her hips pressed back. I pulled back, and just looked at her. She was the image of sex, eyes half closed, lips pouting. I couldn't help but growl in approval, before slipping my own shorts off before moving back to her.

Her hand snaked behind and grabbed my rock hard erection.

Oh, shit, her hand is so small. How did she grip that tightly?

I pushed into her hand, a throaty moan escaping me.

I couldn't stand it anymore.

I backed away again, going up on my knees behind her. I turned her onto her stomach and pulled her hips up so that she was on all fours now, her hair hanging down around her face. She arched her back, straining towards me now, and I closed the distance between us.

My hips were jerking, wanting to bury myself in her. I slid in close, the head of my erection rubbing up against her wet heat. I sighed as I eased in and she did too.

One hand was on her hip to steady myself, and the other slid up her spine, smoothing over her soft skin. I brushed her hair over one shoulder so I could see her face. Her cheeks were flushed bright red and she was biting her full bottom lip as she rocked back against me. I almost came right then.

I moved my hand back down to her waist and around the other hip to trace down to her belly to where we were joined. My fingers skimmed over the patch of hair, splitting her lips, her juices coating my fingers.

She gasped when I flicked her clit, intuitively spreading her legs farther. She was heaven, so wet for me and I threw my head back as I thrust into her again and again. The angle was different and it was totally doing it for me. I felt like I was deeper than I ever had been, deeper than anyone had ever been.

I set a rhythm and tried not just let go and pound into her. She was meeting each thrust hard but when she dropped her head to the bed, angling even more, I almost lost it again. She was starting to clench around me, and her breathing was ragged. I pinched her clit between my fingers, before rubbing it in tight circles.

She was moaning, her voice strangled, and I proudly rode her, pushing her even higher until she shook and cried out my name. I felt my own body winding tighter and when I curved myself around, my face in her hair, inhaling deeply, I felt myself lose control, releasing into her.

We collapsed onto the mattress, both breathless and incoherent. We lay that way for a few minutes, before I flipped over onto my back and pulled her close. She snuggled up to me, sighing and laying her cheek on my shoulder.

"Mmmm. That was nice." Her voice was quiet. "We should nap like this all the time."

I chuckled, a low rumble in my chest.

I couldn't agree more.

AC: Wow, two couples sexing in one chapter! That must be a record for us!

AN: Yeah, that beats the threesome by one!

AC: Well, I hoped they liked it. Do you think that will make them happy?

AN: Sending Bella and Edward off with a nooner? What's not to love?

AC: I am kind of not done with the story though...I am going to miss these guys!

AN: Should we give them one more chapter?

AC: I don't know, that could lead to a slippery slope, just one more, just one more...

AN: True and we want to get started on our next story, which will be titled The Highwayman.

AC: Lots of people asked for our teaser, it's exciting to think that people are as psyched about it as we are!

AN: And a little daunting...

AC: That's for sure. I hope we do a good enough job!

AN: At least we have Rose and Emmet collar action to look forward to next chapter, we think…

AC: We'll have to see if he was a good boy all day and then maybe he'll get his treat!
