"You like?" she asks eagerly, spinning slowly on her way-impractical spiky heels, revealing her entire back from neck to dimples.
I swallow thickly and choose my words extremely carefully.

"You look …beyond sexy, Bella."
Smiling brightly, she rushes to my side. Pressing her body against me, she whispers, "Right back at ya, Handsome."
I'm already hard and we've only just arrived. This night is bound to be one long torturous exercise in restraint. Either that, or I'm going to be dragging my girlfriend out behind the club and fucking her brains out. Or I suppose if that's not an option, I could rub one out in the men's roo—
"Edward?"
Bella's snapping her fingers in my face. "You in there?"
Yes, and I'm trying desperately to stay that way.

"So…that's Alice's present?" Bella prompts.
"Oh yeah, uh…happy birthday, Alice." I hand her the flat package, now that she's slid off Jasper's torso and has a free hand.
"Thanks, Edward, that was so sweet of you," she says, taking the package and leading us all over to the seating area. "Hey, did you see what Bella got me?" Alice is pinching the bright pink halter top and beaming at Bella.
"I did. I was with her when she picked it out. And it looks great on you, by the way."
Jasper elbows me and I shoot him a dirty look.

Alice giggles at our nonsense and pats the couch right next to her. "Jazzy, sit."
Come. Stay. Roll over, I think. But he hurries to her side without a care.
I roll my eyes and Bella chuckles. When I sit on the side chair, she plops onto my lap, eager to see what I've given Alice.
"Do you know what this is?" Alice asks her roommate.
"No. He was very mysterious about it."
Bella squirms when I drop my hand onto her bare back and explore freely, nary a bra to impede me.
Meanwhile, Alice tears open the decorative paper.
