Chapter 2

EPOV

We flew up to Spokane in Jasper's small plane and then rented a car to head for the beginning of our river run. We spent the night at a hotel and after breakfast, we finished our drive to the start of the river run.

A beautiful brunette with brown eyes came down the path to us and said, "Hi! Can I help you?"

Emmett said, "Yes, Sweetie. We're looking for, Mr. Bells."

"Sorry, boys. There's no Mr. Bells here."

"Isn't this Bells' River run?"

"Yes. This sweetie is Isabella Swan. I go by Bella. But my uncle called me Bells and with the river being called Hell's River, Bells' River Run seemed to fit. Is that a problem, boys?"

"No, that isn't a problem. We were just expecting a male guide. We have worked with a lot of women lately and Edward just broke up with his girlfriend. We were hoping to have a testosterone filled week."

"Well, whatever you want to do, you can leave if you like. I'm going to go get my gear and head for the boat. Emmett, you said you read my reviews. So if you still want to go, you can go get your gear, lifejackets and I'll meet you down by the boat in thirty minutes."

"No problem," Emmett said and Bella was gone.

EmPOV

Once Bella was gone, I said, "God damn. She is hot. What I wouldn't give to have that ass in my sleeping bag."

Edward then complained after grabbing his gear and life jacket, "How is this going to be a guys' week with a girl guide?"

I said, "Sorry man that's the one problem with the internet. Do you want to leave?"

"I guess we'll just have to muddle through with a girl guide for four nights and five days. I hope she doesn't kill us and knows what the hell she is doing or we might land up in hell."

I came back right at that time and threw my stuff down saying, "Damn it. I have no plans of leaving you in hell. So Eddie boy, do you have a spare pair of tube socks in your pack?"

"Yes, why?" and he opened his pack and handed me a pair of balled up socks.

I twisted all my hair up in my helmet and put it on so that it looked like I had no hair. I put Edward's socks in my panties so it looked like I had a dick and finally strutted like a dude and said, "Now I am a guy," in a deep voice. "Let's go assholes," and I started loading the rest of the gear into the boat and securing it.

"Fuck," Edward muttered and Emmett slapped my back. I told everyone where to sit so that the weight was better allocated and then I started in on the rules of my boat including you best follow my instructions.

"Do you boys have problems taking instructions from women?"

Jasper said, "No ma'am."

Then I could see Emmett's helmet straps hanging down and not buckled, I took my oar and whacked Emmett's head and his helmet went flying. "Now Emmett, once you put your helmet on, we'll leave unless you've changed your mind and decided that I'll kill you all since I am a girl guide on Hell's River."

Jasper said, "Sorry, Bella. We just finished a rough case involving women. We'll try to behave like civilized gentleman that enjoy river rafting, rock climbing, and your company for the rest of the trip."

Emmett picked up his helmet turned and looked at me and exaggerated clicking it onto his head. He smirked at me and said, "Ready ma'am." We finally shoved off; they did follow instructions well as we went down the river. We stopped for lunch. Once everyone had their food; I made a sandwich for me and walked into the woods to eat it alone so that the boys could be by themselves.

I grumbled, "I am hanging out with asses and this is trip is no fun now. Emmett wants to fuck Bella and Edward is being a fucker. Have you guys not noticed how good she is on the river?"

"Yes, she is good," said Emmett.

Edward said, "Yeah, she is pretty good; let's see how she does in the class five rapids."

I said, "I hate to say this to you man, but forget about Tanya and the women we have had to rescue lately. Bella would be a perfect addition to our work team and she could give us all a run for our money on this river. Plus she loves this country and can share that with us. I bet she is one hell of a rock climber."

"Fine, Jasper. I'll be a gentleman."

"Edward, you are being a gentleman but relax. Be yourself and have some fun. Remember we love this shit and we don't have to protect anyone."

"Fine."

"Emmett quit trying to get in her pants. Maybe you should pretend she is your hot sister that you protect."

"I'll try but damn she is sex on a stick. Come on you have to admit that she is hot, Jasper?"

"Yes, Emmett, she is hot. I can't deny that."

Bella came back out of the woods and asked in a deep voice, "Are you ready to go dudes?"

"Yes," we all said and we got our helmets back on. We put the food back into the cooler and secured everything on the raft again.

That afternoon we hit our first set of class five rapids. Bella would tell us when to paddle and when to just let her steer. I watched her maneuver us through the rapids. She was as good as the reviews said and beautiful to boot. I wanted to pull all that brown hair out of her helmet. I was an ass but how to make it up to her. Because I could tell from her shoulders and facial expressions she was pissed off at us.

At 4:30, we stopped along the river edge at a quiet spot. Bella and I started passing things from the pile of gear on the raft to Emmett and Jasper on shore. Bella went to get off the boat and I said, "Bella, there's still stuff on the boat that needs to come off."

She turned and said, "No, it's okay; it can stay on the boat."

"Bella, one of them I am assuming is your tent."

"Edward, you know it's fine," she yelled at me. She opened the cooler and pulled out what she wanted for dinner put it back on the raft along with her water and she said, "I'll be on the small island across the way if you need me, call my cell or flashlight signal."

Jasper touched Bella's shoulder and said, "Please stay. We'll even make the dinner for you tonight."

"No, you can have a boys night. I know when I am not needed or wanted. I am not a boy." I pulled out the tube socks and chucked them at Edward. Then took off my helmet and all my brown locks came tumbling down. "I have had enough of your testosterone today and you don't need my estrogen around as you have already made that perfectly clear."

Bella got in her raft and paddled off to the small island. Emmett said, "Damn. She is hot and has a temper on her. She even gives me a hard on with that bitchy behavior. Let's set up camp. Jasper, you want cooking detail tonight?"

"Sure." Emmett and I set up camp. While Jasper cooked our steaks, he said, "Bella packed us delicious food and we have been total asses to her. Maybe tomorrow, we should start all new with her and maybe we can forget about today."

"I think that is the perfect plan," Edward said.

I ate my dinner, set up my tent, took a migraine pill, and secured the boat for the night. I did all of this without ever looking over at them. I had had enough of them for the day. I crawled into the tent and sleeping bag and tried to go to sleep. As I was trying to go to sleep, I was trying to make the boys disappear; but I couldn't, so I started critiquing them in my head. First, there is Emmett, large sexy and muscles. His face was what I liked most about him with his dark almost black hair with his brown eyes and his almost silly smile. Vulgar mouth though; but I am sure if you are on his side; he was a teddy bear. You just have to deal with his sexist comments; however, if you were on his bad side, he could seriously hurt you. If you like the tight end football player and weight lifting type, you would love Emmett.

Then I thought about Jasper. He was probably an inch taller than Emmett but not quite as built. He was more like the wide receiver, he seemed a little more agile to me but he was well built. I wondered if I would get to see any of them with their shirts off during the week. My god, what was I thinking. They were all so arrogant. Jasper was trying to help me relax though; I am not sure how he was doing it. His dirty blond hair and blue eyes could pull all the girls in. These guys were like the ultimate package together; they could take care of any woman's needs.

Damn, after I finished thinking of Jasper, I pulled part of my sleeping bag back because I was so hot. Then I tossed around and started to think about the final of the threesome, Edward. At 6 foot 2, you could call him short and yet he was just as built as Jasper. Then his incredible green sparkling eyes, one of the biggest reasons he was sitting next to me on the boat so I couldn't see them all the time. He had messy hair, but I bet it just naturally hung like that and no matter what he did it always landed up back that way. I couldn't believe I have never been allowed to touch a male. Now that I have been away from home; why this trip, why these three, why now? I would have to stay on my toes; although they were annoying, too. I was so warm after thinking about them. My head still hurt; I shed my long pants and long sleeves rolled away from their fire's flames in the air. I used my top to cover my ears from the music; I prayed for sleep to finish easing my migraine. There was no way I was wearing all my hair in my helmet tomorrow. The assholes could just deal with it and that was my last thought as I fell asleep.

A/N Please enjoy. Let me know what you think as you go through these first three chapters. I will probably post chapter 4 on THURSDAY. Have a great week.
