A/N: I'm so sorry this has taken so long! Things have been crazy in my life for the last week! This weekend is a long weekend so I'm hoping to do some writing and give you wonderful people an extra chapter before work starts back on Tuesday. This one got out of hand and got a bit long so it's also been split in two!

I know I said a while ago there would only be a few more chapters, but these characters just keep giving me ideas so my chapters are getting longer and longer so my outline is shifting further and further along!

Thanks to all of you for your reviews – I know I don't respond to them all and I don't respond quickly, but they mean a lot! I never imagined that I'd get more than a couple of reviews, and to be over 200 is amazing!

Happy reading!

Chapter 35

BPOV

Half an hour later the four of us were in Jasper's car headed for his place.

"Living close to the city has it advantages," he said to Edward over his shoulder. "Like, we can drop the car off at my place, walk to the restaurant, and then go out later without worrying about getting the car home."

"Which," I interjected, "means he can get Alice drunk and take her home and take advantage of her!"

"Bella!" Alice squealed, covering her face with her hands.

Edward looked at me questioningly before glaring at Jasper. "Something you should be telling me, Jasper?"

Jasper laughed and shook his head as he pulled neatly into his parking space. Once we were walking down the street towards the restaurant he filled Edward in.

"Alice and I had known each other for a couple of months and we went out with Bella and a few people from the hospital one night. I got wasted, Alice walked me home, and we woke up together the next morning," he said.

"So Alice took advantage of you then?" Edward asked, raising an eyebrow at his sister.

"Not until the next morning!" she defended herself. "I slept in the bed with him because it was cold and there was nowhere else to sleep! And then when we woke up…"

"That's where you leave it Al," I cautioned her. "He doesn't want to hear the rest."

We all laughed and chatted about Emmett and Rosalie as we walked the rest of the way. We arrived a little after seven and walked in to find Emmett and Rose already seated with Carlisle and Esme. They all stood and we all greeted each other before sitting down again.

"We've ordered a couple of bottles of wine and an entrée platter, I hope that's all right?" Carlisle asked.

"It's fine – I'm starving!" Alice replied with a grin.

Soon the wine arrived with the food coming shortly after. The waitress asked if we needed more time to look over the menu and Emmett asked for another five minutes.

"The prime rib here is to die for gents," he announced seriously to the men at the table. "I'd recommend the Cajun chicken for you lovely ladies."

Alice and I exchanged a quick glance and a silent nod. When the waitress arrived back she started with Carlisle and Esme, who ordered the prime rib and a pasta dish respectively. Emmett and Rose had the prime rib and the chicken, then she moved to Jasper and Alice.

"I'll have the prime rib thanks," Jasper said, handing her his menu.

"And you, miss?" she asked Alice.

"I'll have the prime rib as well please," she replied, looking quickly at Emmett. He missed it.

Edward and I both ordered the prime rib as well and the waitress scurried off.

"Bella, Rose, I need to pee. Come with?" Alice asked, rising from her seat.

"Lovely, Alice," Carlisle said with a smile. "It's nice to see we raised you as a lady!"

"What?" she asked, all wide-eyed and innocent. "I invited others to come along!"

Carlisle and Esme shook their heads and laughed as Rosalie and I stood and followed Alice to the ladies' room.

Once inside, Alice turned to us. "Rose, how do you feel about taking an extremely drunk fiance home later?"

Rosalie looked at me confused and I shrugged. I had no idea where this was going either.

Alice went on, "See, Emmett has always had a thing for 'girls eat this; guys eat this', which is why Bella and I ordered the prime rib. He also thinks that girls can't drink as much, which in Emmett's case is true because he's so darn big!"

Rose still looked confused but I was starting to see where Alice was going. She had done this in college a couple of times.

I took over the explanation. "To teach him a lesson, we find us a friendly bartender at Blackbill tonight. For every shot of tequila we get for Emmett, Alice gets a shot of water, but Emmett will think its tequila."

Alice cut in. "I'll have tequila too, just not as much as Emmett. He'll want to make sure I get more drunk than he does, so we should have an impartial drink runner. Someone like Edward, who has to be impartial since he loves us both."

An evil smile crept across Rosalie's face. "Sounds like a plan, ladies. I might need you and Jazz to help me get him home though, Alice."

"My pleasure," Alice replied with a twinkle in her eye.

We headed back to the table and sat down just as Carlisle was topping up everyone's wine glasses.

Edward leaned over and murmured in my ear, "Alice is staying at Jasper's tonight," as he placed his hand on my leg above my knee.

I felt a jolt of electricity shoot through my body as I looked up at him through my eyelashes. "Your point being?" I asked with a smirk.

He leaned in closer so his lips were right against my ear. "My point being, I plan on getting you nice and relaxed, then taking you home and fucking you all night long."

I whimpered softly and the bastard leaned back, taking his hand with him, and turned to his other side to begin a conversation with Emmett.

"Bella? You ok?" Alice asked from my left.

I turned to face her and nodded. The art of speech had left me for a minute.

"Is Edward being dirty?" she whispered, leaning her head towards mine.

Again, I nodded.

"Well, it's a good thing I'm staying at Jazzy's then, isn't it?" she said brightly just as our meals were served.

Conversation died down as we all got stuck in. Emmett was right – the prime rib was to die for. Carlisle ordered more wine part way through the meal and filled our glasses once again. I had a nice buzz going but wanted to keep myself in check while we were with Edward's parents.

"Emmett, that prime rib was fantastic," Alice announced as she placed her cutlery across her empty plate.

Emmett's eyes almost fell out of his head when he realised that Alice had eaten the whole meal. "Where the hell did you put all that?" he asked.

"You're not the only one with an appetite, brother dear," she said sweetly.

Our plates were cleared soon after and the waitress handed around dessert menus.

"Wanna share a dessert?" Alice whispered to me. "I don't think I can eat a full one but I don't want Emmett to know."

I nodded and asked her aloud if she'd like to share a dessert with me. Emmett smiled and shook his head. "Can't fit it all in, Alice?" he mocked.

"I'll show you," she muttered under her breath. "Actually Bella, I think I'll have something for myself."

"I'll share with you," Edward offered, placing his hand back on my leg. He leaned in and whispered, "Do they have Bella sundaes on the menu?"

I turned and whispered back, "I don't think so, but I'm sure it can be arranged later," before pecking him on the lips.

We all placed our dessert orders and Esme ordered coffee for the table. To her credit, Alice put away a whole raspberry tartlet with fresh cream, leaving Emmett even more gobsmacked than before.

We sat and chatted after dinner, Carlisle switching places with Alice to talk to me about my job at the hospital. We discussed his work in Utah and he told me that while he was enjoying it, he really just wanted to be back in their house in Olympia.

Once all the food and coffee was gone and Esme paid for all of our meals despite our protests, we said goodbye to Carlisle and Esme with promises to see them before their flight the following evening. They turned one way to head to their hotel and the rest of us headed in the other direction to Blackbill.

It was just before ten when we arrived and there was only a small line, so we didn't use Rosalie's face to get us in this time. After about twenty minutes we descended the stairs and Alice headed for the same table we'd sat at the last time we were here.

Edward sat down and I went to sit next to him, but he pulled me into his lap. "I think I like you right here," he murmured in my ear.

"I think I can handle that," I said, turning to kiss him.

"Get a room, you two!" Emmett yelled from across the table.

I poked my tongue out as Edward gave him the finger.

"I have a challenge," Alice announced, standing up. She exchanged grins with Rosalie and me before turning to face Emmett squarely. "At dinner, Emmie dear, you suggested that the 'gents' have the prime rib and the 'ladies' have the chicken. Just like you always have, you assumed that girls can't eat as much as boys. Well, I think I proved you wrong."

Emmett grinned at her. "That you did, little sis," he acknowledged.

"The challenge continues – tequila shots. You know I don't like them much, but I'm willing to wager that between now and two o'clock I can drink as many, if not more than you." She smiled and turned to Edward. "And as the impartial third party, Edward will accompany whoever is buying the shots to the bar."

"Oh will he?" Edward asked. I could tell he was smiling. He whispered in my ear, "Alice is up to something, right?"

I nodded slightly so it wasn't obvious to anyone and he squeezed my waist in return.

"Well? What are you waiting for? Get going!" Alice demanded.

Edward and I both laughed and stood up to go the bar. "First round's on me!" Emmett said, throwing some money across the table.

I quickly explained to Edward what Alice's plan was and he loved it. "Better make the first round a real one though, just in case someone gets the wrong one," he suggested.

He ordered eight shots and we loaded the tray with a bowl of lemon wedges and a salt shaker. "Bring back memories?" I teased as we headed for the table.

"Damn good ones," he replied with a smile.

He set the tray down and handed out the shots, placing two each in front of Alice and Emmett. "Two?" she asked. "No one said anything about two!"

"Starts it with a bang," Edward said. "Who's up first?"

"How about one straight up and the other with lemon and salt?" Emmett suggested, wagging his tongue at Rosalie.

Alice shrugged, picked up one of her shots and threw it back. "Your turn."

Emmett threw back his first shot then grabbed a lemon wedge and the salt shaker. He handed the lemon to Rosalie who obligingly held it between her teeth. He quickly licked her neck and doused it with salt then swapped the shaker for his second shot. He licked, sipped and sucked and then looked at Alice with an evil grin.

Alice followed suit, using Jasper for her lemon and salt. Rose and Jasper quickly took their first shots and Edward and I took a little too much pleasure from licking each other's necks.

"In public, people!" Jasper joked from across the table.

"Ooh, I love this song! Dance with me, Jazzy!" Alice cried, jumping up from her seat and dragging Jasper towards the dance floor. "You too!" she added, pointing at the four of us still seated.

We all headed for the dance floor and Edward promptly pulled me against his body. One of his hands rested in the small of my back and the other slid down to rest on my butt. "Feeling gropey are we?" I teased with a smile.

"You have no idea how good your ass looks in those pants," he growled in my ear, squeezing my butt for emphasis.

I moaned and ground myself against him. "Can't we just go home now?" I pleaded.

"Soon, baby. I just want to see Alice get Emmett wasted for a while first," he replied.

We danced for a while longer until I saw Alice hold two fingers up over her head. "Time for round two," I said to Edward, leading him over to the bar. I quickly explained to the bartender that I needed 6 shots of tequila and two of water. She grinned and set them on a tray for us with lemon and salt, placing two slightly closer together. I paid and Edward carried the tray to the table Alice had claimed.

I carefully set the two waters down in front of her, gave Emmett two tequilas and one each to the rest of us. We repeated the process from before and Alice shot me a triumphant grin after she swallowed her second water. Once the round was clear, Jasper lifted her off his lap and he and Edward went straight to the bar for another round. When they returned I gave Edward a look and he nodded slightly.

"Two more?" Alice complained.

"Too much for you, little sis?" Emmett asked. Is it me, or is he slurring his words? I thought to myself.

"Ha!" Alice shot back at him, downing both shots straight up. Emmett's eyes widened and he followed her, his eyes bugging out of his head after the second one.

"More dancing!" Rose announced as another of her favourite songs came on.

I moved to get up but Edward held me against his lap. "We'll be there in a minute guys," he told the others. Once they were out of earshot he leaned in to me. "You are turning me on so much right now," he growled.

I stood up and turned around, straddling him as I sat. "Then let's get the fuck out of here," I suggested, sucking on his earlobe.

He grunted and thrust his hips towards mine and I moaned when his erection made contact. "We can't yet," he complained. "We still have three rounds to go."

"Screw the rounds," I declared. "You pay for the next one and then we can clear off."

He agreed and we joined the others and danced for a few more songs. I caught Alice's eye and she held four fingers up. I nodded and Edward and I headed for the bar once more. "Should we get her a real one this time as well as a water?" he suggested.

"It's about time she had a real one – Emmett will be getting suspicious," I agreed.

We took the tray back to the table and as I set Alice's drinks in front of her I asked, "Is anyone else feeling hot?" putting emphasis on the one part.

She acknowledged me by replying, "Yeah, I get what you're saying. It's warm in here."

"Straight up again?" Emmett asked her.

She shrugged. "Why not?" She picked up both glasses and I could tell she was sniffing them inconspicuously. She threw back one and winced slightly then followed it straight with the other. She slammed the empty glasses down on the table and turned expectantly to Emmett. He repeated her motions and shook his head.

"How are you doing it?" he asked.

"Doing what?" Alice replied, all innocence.

We all headed for the dance floor again and Edward once again held me tight. He hands were now firmly planted on my ass and I was grinding into him for all I was worth. "Please take me home," I almost begged.

"You got it," he answered, attacking my lips with his. When we broke apart, he turned around and made eye contact with Emmett, then waved. Emmett nodded and we headed off.

We grabbed a cab fairly quickly but it felt like it took forever to get home. When the driver pulled up I passed him the money and we ran to the elevator. The ride to my floor was excruciatingly slow and the tension was so thick you could cut it.

We finally made it into my apartment. I secured the locks and Edward immediately had me up against the door. His lips locked firmly onto mine and he plunged his tongue into my mouth. I dropped my keys and purse to the floor and threaded my fingers into his hair.

Edward slid his hand down and hooked my leg over his hip, sliding his hands under my butt and lifting me up so my legs were wrapped around him and my back was flat against the door. He started kissing and sucking my neck and I slid my hands as far down his back as I could reach to untuck his shirt. Once I felt it give way I slid my hands between us and started working on the buttons.

"I'll give you thirty seconds to get naked," Edward said lowly into my ear, setting me gently on the floor.

We both stripped as fast as we could and as soon as I dropped my underwear he pounced again. He lifted me once more so I could wrap my legs around his waist and I could feel the head of his rock hard erection grazing against my centre.

I dipped my head and ran my tongue around the outside of his ear, making him twitch. "You are going to fucking kill me," he rumbled against my shoulder.

I sucked his earlobe into my mouth again and smiled at the moan. "Then you'd better do something to make me stop before that happens," I prompted.

Edward carried me through the living room and into my bedroom where he threw me on the bed, laying his full body weight on top of me. His erection grazed against me again and he moaned, "Fuck, you're so wet."

"That's what you do to me," I whispered, lifting my hips and taking him into me. We both groaned at the contact and he quickly withdrew, slamming back into me.

He continued his hard and fast pace and I felt myself getting closer and closer. "I can't hold it!" I cried.

"So don't," he replied, bending his head and kissing me hard.

My world exploded around me and Edward came a few seconds later, collapsing on top of me with the intensity of his orgasm. We laid there together for a few minutes before he rolled off and pulled me against his side.

"Edward?" I asked as I snuggled against him.

"Mmm?"

"Did you really mean it when you said we'd go all night?" I looked up at him with a smile.

"Well, maybe not all night – we do need some sleep," he replied.

I lifted myself up and kissed him gently before settling back down in his arms.

"Goodnight Edward. I love you," I whispered against his chest.

"Love you too baby," he slurred back. I could tell he was already close to asleep so I closed my eyes and drifted off.

EPOV

I woke the next morning to the quiet ringing of Bella's phone. She didn't stir and I wasn't sure where her phone even was so I let it go. It stopped a few seconds later and I looked down at the beautiful woman sleeping in my arms. My reverie was interrupted by the ringing of the house phone.

"Oh fuck OFF!" Bella grumbled.

"Someone's got a hangover!" I joked as she rolled out of my arms and stood up.

She flipped me the bird and walked out of her room.

"Hello?" I heard her say. "Yep…what time is it?..Oh shit…Yeah, that would be great Emmett…See you soon…Bye."

I heard her hang up and a few seconds later she walked back in. "That was Emmett. He's a little ill so he and Rose are going to Burger King to get food. They already spoke to Alice and Jazz and they're all coming here to eat. So you need to get dressed. Not that I mind seeing you like that…" she finished with a wink, crawling up my body and kissing me hard.

I slid my hands down her back and grabbed her butt, then slid my hands lower and spread her legs, pulling her closer to me. "We have time?" I whispered in her ear.

"If you're quick," she whispered back, lifting herself up and enveloping me in her heat.

I let my head fall back as a moan escaped my lips. "Fuck you feel good," I told her, looking into her amazing brown eyes.

"Damn straight I feel good," she said back, kissing along my jaw line. "I never feel better than when you're inside me."

We started rocking and soon I couldn't control myself. I held Bella tightly and rolled us over so I could take control. A few minutes later she dug her short nails into my shoulders and her mouth fell open. I swear she has the hottest orgasm face I've ever seen, I thought to myself as I let go inside her.

We lay together for a few minutes before Bella moved away. "I should go shower," she said. I followed her to the bathroom and jumped under the spray quickly with her.

She started kissing my back and as much as I hated to, I pulled away. "The others will be here soon."

I stepped out and dried off quickly, walking back to Bella's room wrapped in a towel. I was looking for clean clothes when there was a knock at the door.

"Be there in a sec!" I hollered from the bedroom, grabbing a pair of cargo pants from the floor and pulling them on without any underwear. I grabbed a white t-shirt and dragged it over my head while I headed to the door, stopping along the way to pick up our discarded clothes from the night before.

I opened the door to find Emmett and Rosalie standing on the other side with bags of take out, Emmett looking very pale and Rosalie looking perfect as always. I ushered them in and quickly threw the clothes in my arms into the bedroom. I went and let Bella know they were here and she joined us a few minutes later, just as Alice and Jasper arrived.

Alice looked pretty good considering she was more than a little drunk when we left and Jasper looked faintly green.

"Big night?" I teased them as we sat around the dining room table.

Emmett just grunted. "Don't know how the pixie did it but she well and truly drank me under the table."

Rosalie and I burst out laughing. "So are men still the superior sex?" Rose asked.

"Not today they're not," Emmett grumbled.

We ate in silence for a few minutes, all six of us grateful for the grease from the burgers and fries.

"Did you want a ride to work tonight Bells?" Jasper asked.

"That would be great," she replied, smiling at him across the table. "Stupid graveyard shift."

"What time are we meeting your parents?" Rosalie asked Emmett.

"They're coming to our place for coffee around three," he answered. "You guys are all invited," he added, looking around the table.

"Did you want to go?" I asked Bella. "I know you'll need a nap before work."

"We can go," she said, smiling at me. "As long as I get a couple of hours sleep, I'm sure I can catch a nap during the night."

"I'll cover for you if you cover for me," Jasper suggested.

Bella nodded and thanked him as the conversation drifted back to the night before. I was wondering if Alice would come clean when she moved around and sat in Emmett's lap.

"Emmie, you know I love you right?" she wheedled. I couldn't see her face but I knew she was doing the whole innocent look thing.

"Why?" Emmett was immediately suspicious. I glanced around the table to see Rose, Jasper and Bella all wearing the same look that I suspected was on my face.

"Well, everyone else was in on it too…I was shooting water most of the night last night," she admitted, throwing her arms around him in a hug.

"You…they…what?" Emmett was shell-shocked.

"I'm sorry!" Alice squealed into his shoulder. "I just wanted to teach you a lesson!"

"And you did," he said, breaking out into a smile. "You got me good and proper."

We all laughed as Emmett hugged her back and she climbed off his lap. "Come on Jazz," she said. "Let's go rest before we go to Rose and Emmett's this afternoon."

They headed for the door and Rosalie helped me clean up before she and Emmett left as well.

"Want me to bring anything for this afternoon?" Bella offered.

"Cake?" Emmett asked, his face lighting up like a Christmas tree.

"No problemo," Bella responded with a smile.

We saw them out and Bella turned and hugged me. "I have a cake to make and you need to study," she said. "I'll give you the run of the living room for the next two hours while I play in the kitchen, ok?"

"Deal – but only if I get your undivided attention between two and three," I shot back, hugging her tightly.

I left her in the kitchen and grabbed my notes from the bedroom, stretching out on the couch to read.
