To her credit, Bella seems oblivious to the attention they're drawing. And on many levels, it is truly a pleasure to witness her utter joy, not to mention the fact that my boner is back in full force, single-minded guy that he is. Even without my private-lesson-turned-fornication the other day, Bella's performance screams sex.
Loud, lusty, dangerous sex, to be specific.
So, would I like a private showing? Hell and yes.
But this? This I can't watch.
With clenched fists and forced deep breaths, I push my way off the crowded floor.
"There you are," Jas says, handing me my drink.

"Jesus, Edward, you okay?"
I slam back my drink in three gulps. "Not so much."
Jasper's alarmed. "Hey, wanna get some fresh air?"
"And leave her here unprotected? Like that?" I gesture vaguely toward the girls.
"Edward."
His soft, assured voice draws my attention. "Come outside with me. The girls will be fine."
I know he's right, and I let him lead me to the side alley. Leaning back against the cool brick wall, I exhale forcefully and try to calm myself the fuck down.
"Talk to me, man."
"Jas…" Suddenly I just feel so small for my unfounded jealousy.
A/N: Aw, the poor guy is trying SO HARD. xxx ~BOH
