Since ya'll are blowing me away with the reviews...here's another! Hmm...may not be able to stretch this out till Sunday...lol. Oh, and tawelephant with her guess on the ring made me nearly piss myself! "Is it the loop from his penis piercing that she takes off of him during the day to wear on her finger?" Oh dear lord!

~3~

Twenty minutes later and I was pissed off and in desperate need of a shower. Bessie, my sweet 'best pet' ever, had just led me on a chase through mud puddles, waist deep grass and who knows what else. I had only caught her because she was apparently a slut pig and had allowed some stray dog to mount her.

Not a sight I cared to ever see again. Could dogs and pigs breed? What the hell was I going to do with a litter of piglet puppies if she'd gotten knocked up?

Bessie was snorting happy as a pig in mud behind me...wait, she was a pig...covered in mud. I came around the corner of the house and pulled up short. Three more vehicles had arrived. This was suddenly looking more than small.

I was going to kill Alice.

With a heavy sigh I trudged forward, leaving muddy footprints on the steps and across the porch. I rang the doorbell and Bessie shook herself out, just like a wet dog, and mud splattered everywhere just as the door opened.

"What the fuck?"

"Oh shit! Edward?"

We both blurted out at the same time.

He glared at me and I willed myself to disappear. I wouldn't have thought it possible, but the years had been very kind to him and he was even sexier than my memories had been of late. This was not how I wanted to see him for the first time again...covered in filth and pissed off.

"Bella?" he asked, his eyes softening and a smirk creeping onto his face.

I stood a little straighter in response to his pleasant reaction to remembering me. My eyes darted down to his left hand that he was holding out in front of him as he tried to shake some of the mud off of it. There was no ring.

My day just got better.

"Yeah, hey," I said lamely, cocking my hip out and resting the hand holding the leash across my stomach in an attempt to look sexy. "I'm sorry..."

I didn't get a chance to finish as someone behind Edward garnered his attention and mine. Hello hotness...

"Edward, come on, we've got supper duty tonight, we better get start...oh, hello?" said the sexy gentleman that was touching Edward a little too familiarly. "I'm Jasper, Edward's..."

"He's my roommate," Edward blurted over him.

Boy, everyone was being cut off left and right in this conversation. I felt like I needed a dick to whip out to compare.

And how the devil was I going to survive this weekend when there was nothing but hot men everywhere I turned? Oh, and every last one of them seemed capable of eliciting wanton erotic responses out of me. My panties had just gotten even wetter. Fuck.

Something passed between Edward and Jasper, a look that said more than words could have, and again I felt like I was intruding.

Oink

Edward looked down at Bessie, then at me, and burst out laughing at the situation. "It's good to see you again, Bella. Come on in, I'm sure you want to get cleaned up before everyone else gets here," he said, a hint of laughter still in his tone.

"Everyone else?" I squeaked out in horror. "Shit, who all is coming this weekend?" I asked, not really wanting to hear the answer.

He threw his head back and laughed again.

"Glad I could amuse you," I snarked.

"Same old Bella, you still don't like attention do you?" he asked softly as I groaned and shook my head. "It's not too bad, really. Alice and her Master are here," he said tersely.

"Master?" I couldn't let it slide.

"How about I take your little friend there down to the basement and get her set up while you two catch up?" Jasper offered, reaching out for Bessie's leash.

"That'd be great, thanks," I replied sincerely and passed the whorepig off as I followed Edward into the house.

"You don't know about Alice?" he asked, turning to face me. I shook my head again. "Oh, well, I think she needs to be the one to fill you in on that," he said nervously.

"Yeah, I guess so. Seems we have a lot of catching up to do. So, who else is showing up?" I asked, letting him off the hook.

"Mom and Dad just got here, along with Riley. Oh, and I believe Alice said she invited Jake, Seth, Angela and Sam," he answered, counting off people on his fingers.

Now I really groaned. Jake and Seth had been a pain in the ass when we were kids, but I couldn't deny Alice and I had some fun times with them out on the Rez. They were sure to turn this weekend into a party.

Angela and Sam were another story. They were always so closed off and had kept their distance. But, I guess as Sam was part of the Rez group, it made sense that they would tag along with Jake and Seth. I was actually kind of surprised to hear that he and Angela were still together, however. That was pretty cool.

"Um, who's Riley?" I asked, getting to the one person he'd mentioned that I had no memory of.

"Wow, you really have been out of touch with my sister," he chuckled. "Mom and dad missed having us around the house, so they took in an exchange student from Russia. He's actually in his senior year of college now, but they've been hosting him for the last five years," he explained with a shrug that tightened his shirt across his chest quite nicely.

Five years? I guess Alice hadn't thought that bit of information was important in our sporadic calls.

We both fell silent and I looked around the room, avoiding eye contact. Also avoiding just blatantly staring at him. Which I would do. Shamelessly.

"Well, I guess I should get this mess washed off of me," I said as I moved to leave. He tried to sidestep, but it was the same direction I tried to go, so I ended up bumping into his hard chest and almost falling down. His hands darted out to catch me, but my flailing arms knocked into his, so rather than his hands grabbing my arms, they grabbed my boobs.

And I moaned.

As he blanched.

Right before I landed on my ass anyways.

"Shit, I am so sorry Bella, I didn't mean to paw at your breasts like that," he uttered as he carefully extended his hand towards me to help me off the floor.

I took it, loving the feel of his hand in mine adding to the wetness in my pants. Until, I came face to, well, crotch and there was nothing. No large bulge indicating swellage, not even a twitch.

Seriously? What kind of guy doesn't pop a stiffy when they get a handful of tit flesh? Was I really that undesirable to him?

I finished uprighting myself, with his help, and quickly moved around him after thanking him, desperate to get away before I allowed myself to tear up at his very apparent lack of interest.

I rushed down the hall, to the room that I'd always used in the past, and was thankful that somebody, most likely Alice and Carlisle, had brought my bags in for me while I had chased down Bessie.

They'd even been nice enough to open my bag and unpack my things. I shook my head and laughed...at least that hadn't changed about Alice. She was still anal about clothes. She'd probably unpacked me so she could assess what I'd brought.

I took a quick shower. I wanted my light blue undies set, but only found the bra as I dug through the drawer. Figuring I'd left them at home, I opted for my peach colored set instead and pulled on my favorite low slung jeans and a simple white tank over the top. A brush through my hair and I was set, leaving it down to air dry. I dug my camera out and set off to see who I could find.

Everyone still laughing with me?
