DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN TWILIGHT.

AN: Alright folks. Lots of you are pleased with the little James shocker and then others are more apprehensive, probably because this delays Edward and Bella getting together. So, let me just say this. I am an Edward and Bella girl. Both stories that I am currently writing are Edward and Bella. BUT… I also enjoy stories where they don't get together right away. I like suspense and tension. My two stories are exactly that way. So, embrace James, love him because he'll be here a while longer. (Same for Tanya, but you don't have to embrace her. You can kick her to the curb.)

Alright, that said, I need to say something else. All this week, until Friday, my stories (both) will contain some lemons or smut. Starting with today (hint, hint.) Let me know what you think. Believe it or not, it can be tiring writing lemon after lemon or plain smut, but my stories called for it, so here it is.

To all my wonderful peeps, 4theluvofmary, mischief-maker1, whynotjasper and sounds of music…you know, I really should just make a smut-lovers group, maybe call it, Smut me up or something like that…I don't know. I would know who'd be part of it because some of your reviews can contain some smut in themselves, and I love it!

OH! Also to BookME who lives in Wales…who kindly told me she does not live in England (had no idea so thanks for the heads up! I'm almost done with your story by the way, second to last chapter. Yay me!)

Song: Afterlife by Avenged Sevenfold (The important stuff is written below. I used it for BxE.)

Give me your hand but realize I just wanna say goodbye.
Please understand I have to leave and carry on my own life.

I don't belong here, I gotta move on dear escape from this afterlife.
'Cause this time I'm right to move on and on, far away from here.
Got nothing against you and surely I'll miss you.
This place full of peace and light, and I'd hoped you might,
Take me back inside, when the time is right.

BPOV

I was nervous. Very, very nervous. It had been so long since I'd gone out on a date. I wasn't even sure what I was expecting tonight. Probably another disappointment, like so many other guys. I was thankful though that Rosalie and Alice were coming with me. It was to be a triple date so that I could feel comfortable meeting James. Edward had opted not to come tonight, saying he was busy with other things. I wasn't sure if I was thankful for that or not. It would've been nice to have him there; for what, I don't know. But then, if he was there, how was I supposed to get along on my date? No, I suppose it was better he wasn't around.

I wondered why I had agreed to go out with him in the first place. I usually didn't agree to blind dates at all. I hated them because you never knew what you were going to get. But deep down, I knew the reason.

Edward.

It always came back to him. I had to get my mind off of him, and being distracted with another man seemed to be the trick. I wasn't sure if I had a winner or a dud for tonight, but I would soon find out. Edward had a fiancée and I would have to carry on as if he meant nothing. He was off limits, out of reach. And so, I needed to become that way too. James would be my distraction, I hoped.

I gave myself one last look in the mirror and walked out of my room. We were going to have dinner and see a movie. Pretty simple stuff. Rosalie and Alice were already in the living room ready to go.

"Are the guys here yet?" I asked them. James was supposed to meet the guys here at our apartment. I wasn't sure if anybody had shown up yet.

"No, not yet, but I suspect they should be here right...about...now." Alice said.

At that point, the doorbell rang. I raised up an eyebrow at her. I had no idea how that little pixie did that. It was truly weird.

Rosalie opened the door and let Emmett and Jasper in.

"Hello beautiful," said Emmett. He wrapped himself around Rosalie's body and gave her a huge hug. "I missed you."

She sighed and hugged him back. "I missed you too."

Alice and Jasper had already gone into a staring contest with one another, just looking into each other's eyes with their arms wrapped around one another.

Okay, I was seriously going to be sick. I love my best friends, but enough was enough. There was only so much PDA I could stand.

I cleared my throat.

Nothing.

I tried again, louder this time.

Still nothing.

Finally, I yelled, "Guys! Please, a little respect around here?"

They pulled away from one another and said a quick apology. I was just about to let them have it when there was a knock on the front door. I started to panic.

"Oh my God! He's here. How do I look? Fine?"

"You look perfect Bella." Jasper said. He gave my shoulder a reassuring squeeze and Emmett opened the door.

"Hey man, long time no see." Emmett said.

"Yes, it has been too long." James said.

I couldn't see him clearly, but his voice was very alluring. Sexy even. I was already eager to see his face.

And then I did.

He had beautiful sapphire eyes that sparkled, much like Edward's emerald ones. His body was lean and toned. Very toned. Everything about him screamed sex and confidence. I was going to have to be careful around this one. I already felt my body responding to him.

Emmett pulled back as James walked forward. He greeted everyone in the room and then turned his attention to me.

"You must be Bella." His smile was so warm and inviting. I couldn't help but smile back. I took his hand and shook it.

"Yes, and you must be James. It's nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you as well. I have to say, Rosalie's description of you didn't do you justice one bit. You are amazingly beautiful."

I knew it was just a line, but I couldn't help it. I blushed.

We left for dinner then and saw our movie. James was a gentleman through and through. There was nothing he did halfway for me. He pulled out my chair, opened up the doors we walked through. He even bought me my meal and ticket to go see the movie. It felt very much like a date, except with two other couples. I was blown away.

And yet, at the back of my mind was Edward. Always Edward. I didn't understand why I thought of him throughout my evening. It wasn't as if James wasn't gorgeous or uninteresting. He was everything I thought I wanted…before I met Edward.

I sighed deeply. I had to put him out of my mind. He wasn't available to me. He had a fiancé that he loved and adored very much. Emmett and Jasper told us as much. And even though it broke my heart…I had to respect that. They had something I could only dream of having. I wasn't about to ruin it.

James and I decided to go for coffee at a little diner as we said goodnight to Alice, Rose, Jasper and Emmett. They had decided they had enough for the evening, but I had a sneaky suspicion they wanted some alone time.

"So Bella, did you enjoy yourself tonight?" James asked me as we sat down in a booth. We were in the same diner Jasper and I had gone too. I smiled at the memory…I was so happy he was with Alice now.

"I did James. Thank you very much for a wonderful evening. I haven't had that much fun in a while."

We talked about unimportant things until the waitress showed up to take our order. James looked my way and said, "I'm planning on having some coffee and maybe a cinnamon roll. How about you Bella?"

"The same for me please." We placed our orders and continued our conversation.

"So James, what do you do exactly?"

He looked up at me startled. "I thought Rose told you."

"No, she didn't. She just said she was a friend of yours."

He tilted his head to the side as if he was studying me. He smiled and said, "I do the same thing Rose does."

Well, that shocked me. It never once occurred to me that this man was in the porn business. But I should've guessed. You don't keep up with yourself and look that handsome for nothing.

"You look speechless. Should I just leave now?" James said as he was debating whether or not to grab his things.

"What? Oh no, I'm sorry. She just didn't tell me that. Have you worked with her before?"

"Yes. In fact that's how we met. We were partners in the movie we made. But we never hooked up."

I nodded my head absently. Another one of Rose's co-stars; first Edward and now James. I was starting to build up a track record here.

"Does it bother you Bella?" he asked as he took my hand. It felt nice to have some kind of human male contact. He was very warm and his eyes were inviting.

"No, it doesn't actually. I was just wondering why Rose didn't say anything to me."

"She probably didn't want to scare you away. People tend to do that when they see your line of work, regardless of how nice you are."

I smiled at that. I knew that all too well. "So, do you work at TeaseMe entertainment as well?"

"Yes, I do. I just started there though, not too long ago. I'm still getting to know people and such."

That would explain why I'd never met him before.

Our waitress came with our order then. They had to make freshly made cinnamon rolls since they had none made…which was even better for me.

I eagerly took mine and started eating.

"What do you do for a living Bella?" James asked just as I was about to take my first bite. Apparently, Rose didn't tell him about me either.

"I actually do the same thing that Rosalie does as well" I couldn't help but blush.

He looked surprised. "Really? I have to say I'm a bit surprised seeing as your very quiet and a bit on the shy side."

I smiled as he said that. I was only that way with people I didn't know very well. I was actually more extroverted with friends.

"I get that a lot. But I'm actually quite the opposite once you get to know me."

He looked pleasantly surprised. "I'm glad to hear it Bella. I'm hoping to get to know you a lot better; that is, if you'll let me."

I smiled as I realized that I did want to get to know this man. He might not be Edward, but he was someone I could easily distract myself with.

"Of course James. I'd like nothing better."

He paid for our tab and we headed back out. I didn't live too far away from here and when we got there, he walked me to my door.

"I'm so happy that you agreed to see me tonight Bella. I had a lot of fun. I hope you did as well."

"I did James. Thank you so much for a wonderful evening."

He smiled and took my hand and kissed it. "The pleasure was all mine Bella. I'm hoping that I'll get to see you again?"

"Of course. Call me when you want to see me again."

"You can count on it."

He leaned in to give me a kiss on my cheek. But I moved the wrong way, opposite of the way he was leaning. Instead, our lips met as his lips grazed over mine. He pulled back just slightly, wondering if I wanted him to stop. I thought about Edward again, just briefly, and his fiancé, Tanya and knew there was only one way for me to go.

I smiled a bit as encouragement and leaned into him again as his lips eagerly took mine.

EPOV

I wasn't entirely sure that I had made a good decision, letting the guys go out by themselves. I knew James would be there, with Bella. It was a triple date and I didn't want to be a third wheel. The last thing I wanted to see was Bella get it on with another guy…I had enough of that last night.

It's not like James wasn't a nice guy. He was. I knew him…in fact, we had done a shoot together; that is, with another woman. We had got along great and even joked a bit about how crazy this business was. It was a shame he couldn't have been an asshole. It would've made me feel a lot better.

I needed to concentrate on Tanya. I mean, we had a long history together and I loved her. Now that I was away from Bella, I could think straight. Tanya and I had been through a lot, and she's stood by me through thick and thin. I had no idea why Emmett and Jasper didn't like her and they wouldn't really tell me. But whatever it was, I'd still love her to pieces…they'd just have to learn to live with it.

I paced my apartment up and down. I had tried to watch some TV, but that wasn't working for me. I needed to keep my mind occupied so that I didn't have to concentrate on Bella and James. Surely, they wouldn't have sex on the first date, right?

I groaned in disbelief on how weak I was and picked up my phone to call Tanya. She answered on the 4th ring.

"Edward dear, how are you?"

It felt wonderful to hear her voice again. "Oh Tanya, I just wanted to call you. I miss you terribly."

"I miss you too Edward. I'll be home on Thursday though and we can be with each other then."

It was then that I realized how sexually frustrated I was. Tanya was not one to have phone sex, so I knew it was useless. We talked for a while longer before I hung up with her.

Now, I was seriously at a loss of what to do. I sighed as I walked into my room and shut the door. My dick was still aching hard and I knew I had to relieve myself if there was any hope of a comfortable evening.

I unzipped my pants as I pulled out my throbbing cock. I put some lube on my hand and started stroking. My thoughts were on Tanya and how good it would feel to have her here with me, but as I knew I would, my thoughts drifted to Bella.

Bella on the TV screen naked. Her tits pointing straight out, begging to be taken and sucked on. Bella on her knees, taking my dick into her mouth and sucking, licking and tasting me. Moaning as she told me how hard and big I was. Waiting as long as I have been to do that to me.

My hand stroked me harder and faster. I could feel the tip of my head throbbing, wanting release. My mind raced back to Bella.

She was laying down on my bed, her legs spread wide open for me, her juices flowing down her pussy as I licked her up. I imagined she tasted sweet and I could almost feel her writhing beneath me, pushing me in deeper and deeper. Just as I was about to make her cum, I would shove my dick inside of her, roughly, just like I imagined she would want.

I squeezed my dick harder, pumped faster until I could feel my release coming. I grunted as I thought of Bella screaming out my name. I felt my load explode and land all over my hand, wishing Bella was there to lick me clean.

I sighed as I got up to wash myself off. I pulled my pants back on and decided that the best course of action would be to go out to a bar at least and drown out my confused thoughts. Plus, I had no idea if any of the guys would come back with their dates. I wanted to give them their privacy.

I grabbed my wallet and walked out to find a cab. This would be a long and boring night.

RPOV

I couldn't get out of there fast enough. I know I'm a bad friend. I left Bella and James to fend for themselves, but really Bella was a grown up. If she needed me, she would call me. I needed some alone time with Emmett and fast.

"Bella should be fine, right Rosie?" Emmett asked. I had to admit, it felt nice that he cared about her that much. It let me know he'd care for her as much as I do.

"Yes, she'll be fine. Don't you want to be with me?"

The look in his eyes told me he did. Really bad.

"Of course I do. I couldn't wait to be with you."

We made it to his jeep and he took off like the devil.

"Where are we going?" I asked.

"I'm not sure yet. We can't go back to my place. I know Edward said he was going out, but I'm not sure if he really was. Plus, Jasper might be going back there with Alice. I don't want to be interrupted."

I nodded in agreement. "Yeah, I'm not sure about going back to my place either. I know Bella won't be long before she gets back."

Fuck. No place to go and I was getting hornier by the fuckin minute. I hadn't had sex in a while and Emmett was more than willing. Need to find a place, quick.

I couldn't stop myself. I pulled myself closer to Emmett and started stroking his thigh. He jerked in his seat, but then I saw a pleased look on his face. I inched my way closer to his dick, noticing he was getting harder as I crept closer.

"Rosie…fuck! You're going to make me crash!"

I smiled. I loved the affect I had on him. "Then I suggest you pull over…and soon."

I quickly yanked down on his zipper and reached in. I wasn't as surprised as I think I ought to have been to see that he had gone commando. I was even more aroused at that thought. He sprang out from his pants as I took him in. My my, Emmett is one big motherfuck…

I didn't get to finish my train of thought as I heard Emmett groan and swerve to the right.

"Shit!! Rosalie, you'd better put my damn cock in your mouth right now or so help me…"

I didn't let him finish. I quickly put him in, loving the taste and feel of him in my mouth. I made sure to put as much as I could and started bobbing my head up and down in a nice, smooth rhythm. I pumped him with my hand at the same time I was going. He moaned even louder.

"Damnit Rosalie. Your mouth feels so good. Please don't stop baby…keep going."

I loved what his words were doing to me. I could feel myself getting wetter and wetter as I enjoyed his cock filling up my whole mouth. I felt his hand rest behind my head as he helped push me down. I moaned.

"God Emmett, your huge. And you taste so good…" He leaned his head back into the head rest and struggled to keep his eyes on the road.

"Do I feel good Em? Does my mouth feel nice and warm around your swollen head?" All I got in response was loud breathing and a faint nod. I wanted him, and I wanted him now.

"Pull over."

"Where? I don't have anyplace to park!"

"Find a secluded area Emmett! I can't last any longer!"

He found us a place within two minutes. He pulled into the dirt road on the side of the main road and parked in some nearby trees. He turned off the headlights and it was extremely dark.

Perfect.

"Backseat…NOW!"

We quickly made our way back there and I helped him pull off the rest of his pants. He was gorgeous.

"Protection?" Emmett asked. He had his wits about him more than I did.

"Pill." was all I was able to throw out.

I attacked his mouth with my own as his hand intertwined in my hair. His mouth was warm and tasted heavenly…but there was another part of him I wanted to taste again.

Before I could, Emmett reached over to my pants and pulled them off, along with my soaking panties. I took off my top and my bra and flung them off. I needed him to feel all of me. I kneeled on the backseat right next to him as I lowered my mouth once again to his swollen cock.

"Is this what you want Emmett? Do you want me?"

"Oh God yes, Rosalie. More than anything right now."

"Em? I want you to do as I tell you. Grab my hair with your hand and pull on it as I suck you off, do you understand?"

His eyes grew wide as a huge smile graced his mouth. "Hell yea. Anything for you Rose."

I smiled as I went back down. I took him once again in my mouth, making sure I tasted and licked off all of the precum that had gathered on his head. As I started sucking, I could feel one hand on my hair pulling me and the other on my clit. I couldn't help but moan. His fingers felt so good, it was indescribable.

He kept running his fingers up and down my slit on my swollen pussy as I kept his dick in my mouth, pumping him in and out of me. His fingers found entrance as I could feel three of his fingers fucking me. I started pounding into him and our mixed moans filled the back seat of his jeep.

Suddenly, he pulled up hard on my hair, pulling me back. "Sorry baby, but I really, really want to fuck you and I can't do that if you keep going."

He attacked my tits as he kept fingering me, harder and faster. I knew I was going to cum soon. "Em, I'm going to cum…please, please don't stop."

"Ugh…Rosalie you're so tight and wet…I have to taste you. Can I taste you?"

I think I nodded yes, but I'm not sure because the next thing I knew his mouth was all over my pussy. His tongue was unbelievable as it ran up and down, gathering all of my juices. I could hear him sucking on me, making sure he got everything.

"Damn Rosalie, you taste good…I need more, I need you to cum for me baby."

His tongue assaulted my clit, biting and pulling as his fingers worked their magic. I couldn't take the sensation anymore and I yelled, "I'm cumming…." I can't recall all else I said as I felt myself falling over the edge. I could hear Emmett moaning as he lapped up the juices that escaped me.

I didn't have time to recover from that as he slammed his cock into me – hard. I screamed in pleasure as he stopped for a moment so I could adjust to his size. "Your so wet and tight for me. You want me to fuck you? Is that what you needed? A good fucking?"

He was driving me crazy! "Yes, please fuck me hard. Don't slow down, I need it hard."

He shoved himself in me again and continued to do so, over and over again. He had the whole jeep shaking as he steadied himself to slam into me. I grabbed my tits and squeezed my nipples for his viewing pleasure. "Cum for me baby. Cum for me my Rose…I need to hear you scream my name."

And as if by cue, I came. I screamed his name and grabbed his arms, sliding my fingernails down them as I fought for control over my body. I heard him grunt as he poured himself out inside of me. All you could hear was our heavy, labored breathing.

"God Rosie, you are so sexy…do you know that?"

"You're not so bad yourself Emmett. I can say confidently that you rock my world."

He laughed at me as he leaned in to kiss me. It wasn't full of lust, but full of passion and I think love. I wasn't sure what love was…but if it was anything like this emotion he was pouring out into me, I'd gladly take it.

I knew we were made for each other.

JPOV

I had to be the luckiest son of a bitch in the entire world. I was walking away back to my car with Alice Brandon on my arm. It didn't get better than this. Or could it?

I still couldn't shake off the picture image in my head of Alice naked. Alice on her knees in front of me. Alice with her legs open for me, begging me to fuck her. It was making it hard to think properly.

"So, Alice, where would you like to go? Should I take you home?" Please say no…

"Oh, I don't know Jasper. I was wondering if maybe we could go and hang out in your apartment?"

What. The. Hell? Does she know what she's doing to me? Calm down Jasper…just calm down. She just wants to talk and hang out. Nothing more so don't get your hopes up…

"Yeah Alice, sure, we could do that. Did you just want to sit back and talk?" By this time, we were in my car and I was driving toward my apartment.

"Actually, I was just wondering, if you wouldn't mind, if we go back to your place and fucked?"

I was so startled, the car actually swerved on the road. I turned to look at her, with, I'm sure, was my bug-eyed expression.

"Come again?" I said

"Exactly. As many times as I can." She turned to me and smiled, like this was no big deal.

"Alice, are you serious? Because I can't take that type of teasing right now…seriously." Please let her be serious.

"Oh Jasper. I'm dead serious." And with that, she leaned over and grabbed my dick. She gasped in surprise…I was already hard.

"Wow, you sure work fast, don't you Jasper?" She smirked my way.

"Look who's talking…"

"Yes, well, I can't wait any longer. I mean, I did have to endure seeing you naked and doing very naughty things to my extremely beautiful best friend. I'm already way past horny."

I couldn't help but moan…she actually liked what she saw. I admit, I was a bit upset when I saw her and Emmett, but when I just saw her, I was fighting a raging hard-on. I was glad she felt the same…it made me feel less awkward.

"Well, we can't keep you waiting, now, can we?"

I hauled ass and made it back to my apartment in record time. I was grateful that I didn't see Edward's car anywhere here. Alice and I jumped out and ran to my door.

"Do you think anyone is here?" Alice asked, looking around the apartment door.

"No, I don't think so. I don't see anybody's car."

As soon as we walked in, I slammed the door behind me and scooped Alice up in my arms. She threw her legs around my waist and her arms around my neck as she assaulted my lips with hers.

Kissing her was like nothing I'd ever felt. I opened my mouth and devoured every inch of hers as I could, my tongue playing with her tongue and my teeth biting at her pink and pouty lips.

We made it to my room and I slammed the door shut behind me, locking it. I pushed Alice up against the closest wall and began running my hand up her thigh under her skirt, while my other hand ran up her shirt. She moaned in pleasure.

"Jasper, please, I need you now." She was panting now.

"What do you need Alice? Tell me."

"Touch me. Suck on me…I'm yours!"

I opened up her blouse as she shrugged out of it, taking her bra with her. I slid off her panties, careful not to put her down on the floor. I pinned her up against the wall, keeping her there with my body as my hands traced up her stomach and landing on her pointed, pink nipples.

She moaned as she bucked into me. I kissed my way down to meet her tits with my tongue, making sure I put them in my mouth, sucking on them hard, taking turns with each one. She wove her fingers into my hair and pushed my face into her harder.

I let one of my hands wander south, up under her skirt as I felt her dripping with her sweet pussy juice. It was my turn to moan, knowing she was this way because of me. I wasted no time and slid two fingers into her, pumping myself faster and harder. My thumb massaged her clit as I felt her starting to tighten around me.

"Don't stop Jasper. I'm gonna cum…"

I leaned my mouth back down onto her tits and took one of them into my mouth and bit down on her nipple. That did it.

"FUCK!!"

I felt her trembling underneath me as her body rode out her orgasm. She felt heavenly wrapped around me.

I carried her to the bed and laid her down as I took off my clothing. She watched on with nothing but lust in her eyes, waiting to drink me in. As soon as I was naked, I walked over to her, but she grabbed me and threw me on the bed.

"I think you need a little reward for all the hard work that I've put you through just now. You did such a great job, I need to show you how well you did."

Before I could protest, she had taken me into her mouth and lathered my dick with her slick tongue. It was amazing. She started sucking and licking me all over, while her free hand played with my balls. All I could do was lay there in awe and let her do whatever she wanted to me.

I propped my self up on my elbows and watched her, as her mouth worked on me. She glanced up and saw that I was staring at her so she took out my dick from her mouth and proceeded to lick it like a lollipop, paying special attention to my swollen head. I couldn't take it anymore.

I quickly pulled her off and grabbed her hips, crashing my mouth to hers. I stroked her dripping, wet cunt one more time as I squeezed her hard nipple. I realized I had to act soon, or I wouldn't last much longer.

"Get on your hands and knees Alice, now."

She threw me an excited look and did as I said. "As you wish Mr. Whitlock."

I grabbed her hips tightly as I positioned myself from behind. She had a perfect ass. I spanked it once to see if she would enjoy that, and surprisingly she did. Alice tossed her head back and said, "That felt so good!"

I smiled to myself as I shoved my dick inside of her. I had to stop for a moment to make sure I didn't cum on contact. Suddenly, I remembered an important detail.

"Alice, do I need to pull out?" Thank god she understood me.

"No, I'm on the pill."

That was all I needed. I slammed into her this time, showing her no mercy. She grabbed my sheets and bundled them up in her fists, trying to keep herself together.

"You like that? You like it when I fuck you senseless?"

"Uggghhh…yes….yes….again." She could barely form any words.

I kept pounding into her and I realized I wasn't going to last any longer. I reached down and started stroking her clit as I felt her walls clamp down around me.

"Cum for me Alice…I want to feel you explode all over my cock."

That did it for the both of us. We both came together, and all I heard were her screams and my groans of pleasure.

We both collapsed on the bed as I pushed her closer to me and threw my arm around her. I knew that this was where I wanted to be and there was no one else for me. She was all that mattered and I had finally found her. The one person most people spend their lives searching for and I had her in my arms…my soul mate.

"I love you Alice." I said it confidently, because I knew I did.

She sighed in contentment and said, "I love you too Jasper."

That was the last thing I heard before my eyes closed with sleep.
