Chapter 30

When we came back, Sam and Seth said, "Look at poor Jake over there." So I looked over and he was reading with Angela, it actually looked really sweet. "Actually, this has been great fun. He's really been moping."

After I walked over to the two of them, I asked, "So Angela, are you going to let Jake take a break and learn all my tricks?"

"Yes, but you really pulled his ass out of the water in Alaska?"

"Yes, I did and Emmett's."

"Damn, you really are a short little Amazon," Angela said.

"Thanks, I think."

"Now, Jake. I want you to carry all of Bella's gear and your own. You'll do exactly as she tells you."

"Thank you, my beautiful wife," and Jake kind of cringed when he said it.

Jake followed me to my tent and carried my gear for me. But Edward helped me slip into it. We all harnessed up and with four lines this time, the boys came up to see what I was doing. We spent the next ninety minutes working on the lines.

We had four lines still on the mountains; so I said, "Anyone for a race? Jake, you can try out your new skills."

"Are you serious, Bella?"

"Yes, but I believe you have to ask Angela?" and I chuckled.

"Angela, please my beauty, please let me."

Angela looked at me, "Even if he wins, he still has to be my slave and serve dinner."

I smiled and said, "Of course."

"Then what's the bet?" Jake asked.

"Eternal bragging rights. If you win Jake, you can keep your CIA trophy. If I win, I get your trophy and you have to send out an email relinquishing the trophy and title to me."

Emmett said, "Oh yeah and we'll document for proof."

"While you think about it Jake and anyone else want to give it a go you can come along on the race."

Edward said, "I'm out, but I'll take care of your line, Bella. Then Edward whispered, "Are you sure? You just taught him all your tricks?"

I kissed him and then whispered in his ear, "Yes, but I weigh half of his weight. Because I am the only one going on my line, I don't have to tap in as far. And I'm going to skip tapping in for the first ten feet because I know someone will catch me if I fall."

Then he whispered back, "You're really good."

I turned to Jake and said, "Well?"

"You're on."

"Anyone else coming."

Carlisle said, "I got Jake's rope."

Sam and Seth said, "We'll give it a go."

"So Jake how far up?"

"To the top and back."

"Are you sure?"

"Oh yeah!"

"Esme start us off." Esme started us off and I climbed the first ten feet this time and then started tapping in and kept going I made it to the top first then I started right back down. "Edward, keep my line tight please. Give it to Emmett; he knows how I like it."

Jake, Jasper and Emmett all started laughing. I chuckled to myself, but kept going. I was on the ground in a few minutes because I had this down to a science. Jacob was at least eight behind me and he finished second. Emmett and Jasper gave me a bear hug and told me I was amazing. Jacob came over and shook my hand and said, "Congratulations, but how?"

"Easy, Jake. First you don't fully trust my system yet; and second, I weigh about half of you or less."

"So what does that have to do with it?"

"Easy, I don't tap in as far for just me on the line. So even though, I'm a foot shorter than you, think about one less tap on each anchor and the outcome is I beat you."

"You did fair and square."

Emmett then said, "You lost to a…" Fuck he thought to himself he almost said Queen.

Carlisle covered up for Emmett and said, "What man you can't even say a girl?"

"No, I just got tongue tied there for a moment."

Angela then said, "Okay, Jake go take Bella's gear and put it by her tent; then I think there are four of you that have some dinner to finish up."

Seth came up with a tray full of sodas and he said, "To the best rock climber, we know and putting Jake in his place."

"Thanks," I said. I enjoyed drinking my Pepsi. Edward, Jasper, Emmett and I all walked away talking about it. We were all chuckling.

Emmett then said, "Bella, did Edward figure you how you like it or should I step in and help next time?"

Edward slapped his shoulder and then I said, "Emmett, he got it nice and tight just like I like it." We all started laughing. Then Edward took my hand and started pulling me away from those two.

Carlisle said, "Wait a minute, you two."

Emmett said, "Hey Boss, no goofing around you're supposed to be making us dinner."

"I will; my cohorts gave me a reprieve. There is something they brought up and I think it's a great idea."

I asked, "What Carlisle?" because I was so intrigued.

"How would you feel about camping the next two weekends and you can teach other CIA operatives your climbing tricks? And yes your three godfathers will be with you acting as your guards."

"Really, Carlisle. I get to spend the next two weekends camping?"

Edward wrapped his arms around me and said, "Carlisle, I think that is a yes."

I looked at the guys and said, "Do you mind though?"

"Bella, no, it'll be fun," Jasper said.

Carlisle said, "Just no more betting."

"Okay."

"Plus I am sure after Jake makes his announcement on Monday; no one will take any of your bets."

"Yeah," I jumped into Edward's arms and hugged him and said, "I get to go camping again and again."

Emmett said, "Thanks Bella. We're going to get to go camping again and get paid for it."

EPOV

I then turned and waved the guys away. "Bella," and I took her hand. "Are you sure you want to?"

"We will all climb on the Friday afternoon when we get here. Then again on Saturday morning and afternoon and again on Sunday morning."

"Edward, I'm sure."

"Bella, you'll probably be one of only one or two girls out here for the whole trip. Carlisle and the upper management probably won't let them bring their wives since this is work."

"Edward, are you worried I'll find a sexier operative and want to share his tent with him."

"Bella," and I had her in my arms. "No Beautiful, but your mouth is getting as bad as Emmett's maybe I should limit the time you get to hang out with him."

"No, Edward. I'm just starting to use it more; for whatever reason sexual innuendo jokes make adults laugh. Plus Edward remember white water rafting is mostly a man thing so I have heard a lot over the years and now that I know you all better-"

"You're loosening up."

"Yes, Edward. I am."

"By the way, I noticed you called me sexy."

"I did; didn't I? You'll protect me from any other frisky operatives."

"Yes, I will, but I don't think it'll be a problem once Carlisle sends out the invites."

"Now, come here my little Amazon" and I lowered my lips to Bella's and I immediately pressed them open. I needed her hot little mouth. I knew I wasn't going to get any more yet, but I was going to at least enjoy the feeling her tongue and her taste brought out in me. I snaked one arm around her waist and pulled her in closer. She eagerly moved into the hold tighter. I swept my tongue one more time and my Bella moaned into the hold even closer. Then I heard a quiet, "Uh-hum"

So I gently set my beautiful Bella back down and took her hand. I turned and Angela was there.

"Hi, Angela," Bella said.

"Hi, Bella. Dinner is almost ready; so I was sent to get you both instead of Emmett."

"Thanks, Angela."

"No, thank you, Bella, having Jake around today was so much fun. I hate having to beg him to just sit down with me. He's constantly moving around and today was so nice. Can you win bets with him more often?"

"Why don't you do what Esme and Carlisle do with movies and make a trade?"

"I'll see if it works."

BPOV

"Good," then I skipped up to her and whispered, "Threaten to take sex away and see if it helps."

She giggled and said, "It's hard to turn him down."

Then I whispered, "Maybe just once is all it takes."

Angela then giggled and away we went with Edward following us.

We sat down and we were served chili and corn bread. Jake gave me my plate and bowl and Carlisle gave Edward his. I said thank you to Jake and then Jake said you're welcome.

We then dug into our dinner and I said, "My compliments to the chefs. This is delicious."

"Thanks," I heard.

Again after dinner was cleaned up, I put on a flannel shirt and then Edward and I cuddled by the fire while everyone shared stories. Eventually, Edward nudged me and said, "Come on, Beautiful. Let's go to bed."

So I slowly got up and together hand and hand, we walked back to our tent. Actually I went to the bathroom and then he let me slip into the tent, he said, "Flash the flashlight again for me, Beautiful."

Once I was comfortable, Edward came in and slid in his sleeping bag. He put my pillow over by his arm and pulled me in close to him so that I was lying under the bend of his arm. "Good night, beautiful Bella. Was today better?"

"Today was a blast."

"Good the next two weekends will be just like today, I promise."

"Thank you, Edward. Good night"

"What Bella? No tough questions tonight."

"No, I'm tired. I'll see you in the morning." I rolled to my side and Edward did something and then I felt his arm drape over me.

"Good night, Bella."
