AN: EPILOGUE 1: A World of Happiness

Edward POV

Ten years later


I smiled as I made my way home. Oh, how life has changed in the past ten years. We now lived on the lake with Alice and Jasper. We had two separate houses, but they were connected by two screened in breezeways. One was in the common areas, where anyone could go, and the second connected to a hidden playroom we'd installed. It had some of the 'toys' we often liked to play with. Jasper had shown me some of Sakura's knots, and we found that Bella really enjoyed being tied up. Who knew?

Jasper's practice was booming and he had written a book about overcoming the perils of being taken as a slave into the human trafficking market. It was a best seller and he was helping countless people re-adapt to the world.

I was moving along, now I was one of the top surgeons in my field. I had even developed a few new products to aid us in our surgical procedures.

Bella and Alice both stayed home now with all of our kids except for the time Bella went in to the business she started with Jake. I hadn't been happy about it, but when Bella set her mind to something, who was I to say no? So, Wolf Whistle Café opened a year after Whit was born. She and Jake co-owned it, but they let Seth manage it, and he loved every minute of it. We even helped put him through chef school, or whatever you call it.

I pulled up into the drive and saw all the kids' toys littering the lawns. Our kids. Yes, they were all ours. They knew who their mother and father were, but we treated them all as if they were our own. Bella and I had Whitley, who was turning ten today, which was why I was hurrying home, Jasmine, who was six, and Alicia, who was two.

Jasper and Alice had been blessed with a set of twins the first time around, Anthony and Isadora, or Tony and Dory, as they preferred to be called. They were nine, and looked like miniature versions of Alice and Jasper respectively. They then had another son named Brandon, who was five.

I stepped into the house calling, "Hello?"

"Hi, Edward." Leo said as he came from the kitchen. Leo was…special. He had been brought back from Italy by Eleazar, who semi-mainstreamed him. Leo found that he loved the Dom/sub lifestyle as well as the quote, 'gay scene' Seattle had to offer. His words, not mine. He lived in an apartment in town, but often came back to Eleazar's for a weekend, and also became quite good friends with Alice and Bella. Now, he was here as often as he was at his job, which was doing the books for WWC and Chocolate Bells. He had a great head on his shoulders…and his working for Jake had led him to finding his own soulmate, Seth. Which probably meant…

"Hey! Edward!" Seth called cheerily as he also came out, wiping his hands on a dishcloth. I smiled. I still hadn't quite gotten over the fact when he admitted he had a crush on me. It was…flattering, really. He blushed and bumbled through it until I'd just hugged him to me and kissed his forehead. I could tell that he wanted…more from me, just as Leo wanted more from Jasper, but we had sworn to each other that what we had would remain between just us along with Bella and Alice. And it did. We felt no urge to go out and find anything else when we had everything here, in our home. Jasper still had to lord over some of the subs, and help Eleazar, but that, he tried to do sparingly, for he got no pleasure out of it anymore.

"Hi, guys. How's it going?"

"Great!" Seth said. "I just brought over Whit's cake. Jake and Leah said they and the kids would be over in an hour, but since I was closing up, I told them I'd bring the cake on over…"

Great. Jake. There was still something that bugged me about him. He was a nice enough guy…but I could tell he wanted in on what Jasper and I had with Bella, and that was a big 'hell no' from us. But it had been Alice that had straightened his ass out with a whap to his head and a threat to tell Leah, who, apparently could be quite the bitch when she wanted to be. He'd not mentioned it since, but still…I could see it in his eyes. Oh, he loved his wife, loved his kids, but I think he always wondered 'what if' and that was something we were going to let him ponder over for the rest of his life.

I followed my nose, along with Leo and Seth into the kitchen where Bella was fixing spaghetti, Whit's favorite. She was sipping a glass of wine and I stole it from her, sipping it before I dropped my lips to hers.

She sighed and my tongue teased her mouth until it opened for me. I plundered a bit and my hands wrapped around her, rubbing the globes of her ass. I heard someone clearing their throat and looked up to see Leo and Seth watching us. "Not that we mind," Leo said, "But everyone will be here very shortly."

Bella giggled. "Of course, thanks, Leo." She swatted my ass playfully. "Go find Jasper and the boys, see if you can attempt not to get into trouble."

I waggled my eyebrows and in my best Austin Powers impersonation, said, "Trouble's my middle name."

She shot me a look. "I thought that was 'danger'."

I shrugged. "It can be anything I want it to be. Do I make you horny, baby?"

She licked her lips and let out a little 'Mmm' sound. She grinned. "You know you do."

I winked at her. "Good." And I hurried off, listening for the sounds of battle. Just as I suspected, Jasper was in the kid's play room, engaged in a killer battle of some sort on one of our numerous video gaming systems. I smiled as I watched him. He still had nightmares on occasion, sometimes they were so bad, I was the only one that could calm him down, but it wasn't that often, and right now, he looked more like a teenager instead of the forty-something man he now was. He looked up when I came in and he grinned at me. "What's going on?"

I shrugged. "Not much. Where's Ali-cat?"

He grinned. "She's primping the girls. She gave up hope of Bella ever teaching your daughters to be little ladies, so she's taking it upon herself."

I rolled my eyes. "Yours is the one that's the tom-boy, Jasper."

He grinned as he thought about Dory. Alice had cried the day that Dory ripped her hair bow out and stomped it into the mud, promptly splashing her designer dress and ruining it. From then on, Dory had to do things her way. Oddly enough, that was a trait we saw from Alice, so she had no one to blame but herself. "That's true. At least Jasmine is making up for it."

"And Alicia just enjoys playing in the makeup." I said with grin of my own.

He nodded. "True…but she's only two, Edward."

"Too young to be in makeup. Alice will not make my daughters into pageant queens."

Jasper snorted. "I'd like to see you try to stop her."

I groaned. "Oh, God…I don't need this."

Just then, Whit looked up and saw me. "Daddy!" He said, running over to me. Tony and Brandon came over too, giving me big hugs as well.

"Hey, guys. How's it going? Is someone ready for a birthday party? Seth just got here with your cake…"

That was all it took for them to tear out of the room, heading toward the kitchen. "Don't bother your mother!" I yelled after him, but he, of course, didn't listen to me. They never did.

I flopped onto the sofa next to him and he grinned. "What?" I asked.

"I have you alone for a few minutes." His lips descended to mine and I groaned hungrily as his hands fisted in my hair.

His lips traveled to my neck and I said, "Jazz…ungh…God…how I'd love to continue this…but…"

He pulled away and smirked. Just then, I heard the doorbell ring. "I know," He said smarmily. "I just wanted to get you hot and bothered so you could think of all the naughty things we're going to do to you tonight."

With that, he stood and walked out of the room. I adjusted my cock. Fuck.

Hours later, we were still cleaning up from the party. The kids had all passed out from the sugar rush and it was finally down to just Jasper, Bella, Alice and I. I picked up another paper cup that was hidden behind a picture frame and tossed it into the trash bag at my feet. "Who knew that our family could make this much of a mess?" I asked to no one in particular.

Bella let out an indignant snort. "Are you forgetting who your brother is, Edward? Please. Emmett could wreck the house all by himself, and that doesn't include Sage and Ashe. Those two boys could tear up an anvil."

Jasper laughed, as did Alice as they plopped down onto the couch where Bella was rubbing her feet. Alice took her feet and Jasper pulled Bella closer to start rubbing on her shoulders. She let out a little moan and my cock twitched.

"Uh…hmm…let's leave this mess." I said, trying to remain calm and not ravage my wife as I saw her 'ecstasy face'. "The kids are knocked out, the monitors are on, let's go have some fun in the playroom."

Three sets of eyebrows rose. I shot them all looks. "Look, I've been cockblocked all afternoon! Give me something here!"

Bella turned to smiled at Jasper, who nodded to Alice, who stood and sauntered to me. "So…what do you want?" She asked with a slight purr.

"You, Bella, Jasper, naked, at my disposal." I said with a little lip pout.

Bella grinned. "Hmm…someone wants to play Dom tonight, Jasper. What do you say?"

He chuckled. "Well, I say we let him play. What do you say, ladies? To the playroom?"

Bella stood and grasped my hand as Alice took the other. They led me down the hall and said, "Come, Master, your kingdom waits."
