Chapter 23

It was a Thursday when Bella's friend Jill approached her, bubbling with excitement. "You won't believe what just happened," Jill exclaimed. "My parents and their friends were planning a skiing trip to Keystone Resort this weekend, but one of their friends broke his leg and they had to cancel. But since everything's already paid for, they offered the trip to me! I was hoping you'd like to come with me."

Bella was thrilled. "Wow, that sounds amazing, Jill. I've been dying to go skiing since I moved here. This is perfect! Thank you so much for inviting me."

Jill's eyes sparkled with anticipation as she revealed her plan. "We have two suites, so I was thinking of inviting Ted. We've been seeing each other for a couple of weeks now, and I really like him. I'm hoping this trip can help us take our relationship to the next level." Bella could sense the excitement in Jill's voice and wished her friend all the best.

"I hope he can come too," Bella replied with a smile, happy for Jill.

"I'll give him a call and keep my fingers crossed. We'll be leaving Friday after classes until Sunday. I can hardly wait! I'll send you all the details via text," Jill exclaimed, hugging Bella in her excitement before taking off.

Everything was planned out, and Bella, Jill, Ted, and his friend Dan were on their way to the Keystone Resort. As they packed into Ted's car, Bella couldn't help but feel a tingle of excitement running through her. She had never been skiing before, and the prospect of trying something new filled her with curiosity and anticipation.

Of course, being a vampire, Bella wasn't worried about the cold or the risk of falling down. She had fed the night before and was well-prepared for the weekend ahead. As they hit the road, Ted and Jill took the front seats, leaving Bella and Dan to ride in the back.

Dan was a new acquaintance for Bella, but so far, he seemed like a nice guy. They struck up a conversation, and Bella found herself pleasantly surprised by his humor and easy-going personality. They chatted about their hobbies and interests, and Dan even offered to give Bella some tips on skiing, which she gratefully accepted.

As they drove deeper into the mountains, Bella gazed out the window, taking in the breathtaking scenery of snow-capped peaks and frozen lakes. She couldn't help but feel a sense of awe and wonder at the natural beauty around her.

The next morning Bella was feeling excited and energized for her first day of skiing. She pulled on her pink and white ski outfit that she had bought with Alice last year. It was comfortable, but also cute and fashionable, plus it covered her entirely in case of sun exposure. She was eager to try out her new gear and try skiing for the first time.

As they rode the ski lift to the top of the mountain, Bella took in the stunning panoramic views. She could see for miles, and the snow-covered peaks were truly breathtaking. "Wow, this is incredible," she said, admiring the scenery.

Jill and Ted were already racing down the mountain, leaving a trail of snow behind them. Dan turned to Bella and asked, "Are you ready to give it a try?"

Bella grinned back at him, feeling confident and adventurous. "Absolutely! Let's do this," she replied.

She pushed off and glided down the slope, feeling the rush of wind in her face and the thrill of speed. She quickly got the hang of it, shifting her weight from side to side to control her speed and direction. It was an thrilling feeling, unlike anything she had ever experienced before.

As she made her way down the mountain, Bella marveled at the beauty of the snow-covered trees and the sparkling snow. She felt truly alive, and her vampire senses were heightened by the cold air and the rush of adrenaline. She couldn't help but let out a whoop of joy as she reached the bottom of the slope and met up with the others.

"That was amazing!" she exclaimed, beaming with excitement. "I can't believe how much fun skiing is. Let's do it again!"

Bella had a blast skiing all day, trying out various courses on the mountain. She particularly enjoyed the more advanced ones, feeling a rush of adrenaline as she glided down at high speeds. She made a mental note to herself to talk to Jasper and Emmett when she was back at home, hoping that they knew of some area unused by humans because it was too dangerous so they could all try 'vampire skiing'.

After skiing most of the day, they rested for a bit back at the resort. As the sun started to set, they decided to head out for dinner at a local restaurant. Bella did not look forward to eating all the human food, but she was determined to have a good time with her friends.

As they sat down and ordered their food, Ted asked Bella about her recent play. "So, Bella, Jill was telling me about your performance in 'Grease'? I heard you had a lead role," he said.

Bella smiled, feeling a sense of pride. "It was amazing, Ted. I had so much fun playing Sandy. The songs, the dances, the costumes - it was all so thrilling."

Jill chimed in, "I went to see Bella perform twice during the run of the show. She was incredible!"

Dan looked intrigued. "I've never seen 'Grease' before. Would you mind performing a song for us, Bella?"

Bella at one time would have blushed, but was secretly pleased. She loved performing, and the idea of showcasing her talent to her friends gave her a high. "Sure, how about 'Summer Nights'?" she suggested.

As Bella started to sing, her friends were blown away. They clapped and cheered for her when she finished as did most of the restaurant who had stopped their conversations to listen to Bella sing.

"That was amazing, Bella! I can't believe how talented you are," Dan exclaimed.

It was later in the night, and Bella and Jill were back in there room. Jill approached Bella nervously while she was reading in a comfy lounge chair.

"Bella, I need your advice." Jill said as she sat down next to her friend.

Bella looked up from her book, noticing the seriousness in Jill's voice. "Sure, what's going on?"

Jill hesitated for a moment before finally speaking. "I want to spend the night with Ted, but I'm not sure how to approach him about it."

Bella smiled knowingly. "Well, just be confident and direct, Jill. I'm sure he'll be thrilled."

Jill nodded, feeling better already. "Thanks, Bella. I just don't want to mess things up with him."

Bella put down her book and gave Jill a reassuring smile. "You won't, Jill. And who knows, you might even have a little fun."

Jill grinned, feeling more relaxed. "Oh, I hope it's not too little. I'm imagining an 8 inch monster that's going to split me in two!"

Bella's eyes widened in surprise before she burst out laughing. "Oh my God, Jill. Well here's to an 8 inch monster. Good luck!"

Jill left the room with a smile on her face, heading towards Ted and Dan's suite. Bella went back to her book, hoping everything would work out for her friend.

Bella went back to reading after hearing Ted invite Jill in. But then Bella heard Dan leaving their suite, and by the sound of the footsteps, he was coming to Bella's. She had not anticipated that, although thinking about it now, she should have. She heard a knock on her door. Bella got up, thinking over what she would say.

"Hi, Bella," Dan said, his voice soft and friendly. "Ted and Jill wanted some alone time, so I thought I'd come hang out with you. Is that cool?"

Bella hesitated for a moment, considering her response. She didn't want to hurt Dan's feelings, but at the same time, she didn't want to give him the wrong impression.

"Sure, Dan," she said, "Come on in."

As Dan settled into the sofa and Bella curled up in her chair, they continued talking, now delving deeper into their personal histories. Bella shared stories about growing up with her mom and her struggles to find her place in the world. Dan was fascinated by her journey and could relate to many of her experiences.

In turn, Dan opened up about his family, his education, and his passions. Bella found herself drawn to his infectious energy and sense of humor. She was surprised at how much they had in common, and before she knew it, an hour had passed.

Suddenly, Dan's question caught her off guard. "So, Bella, are you seeing anyone right now?"

Bella hesitated for a moment, not wanting to hurt Dan's feelings. "No, I'm not seeing anyone at the moment," she replied softly. "I just got out of a long-term relationship and am focusing on myself right now."

Dan's face fell a little, but he quickly recovered. "I understand, Bella," he said, trying to mask his disappointment. "I just wanted to know where I stood, you know?"

Bella smiled sympathetically. "Of course, Dan. And I appreciate you asking. It's just that I'm not really looking for anything like that at the moment."

Dan nodded, looking a little crestfallen. Bella was relieved that Dan did not look like he was going to push the matter.

At this point, Bella unfortunately could hear Jill and Ted going at it quite vigorously, by the sound of it. One of the downfalls of being a vampire was sometimes hearing things one really didn't want to hear. Bella couldn't help it, but her imagination ran away from her, and she started to picture Jill and Ted fucking. She wondered if Ted had that 8-inch monster. Damn, now Bella was feeling horny, but she had no intention of starting anything with Dan. She tried to get her mind out of the gutter by resuming her conversation with Dan, but it was not helping. Eventually, she said it was getting late and that she was tired. She offered to give Dan some sheets and a pillow so he could sleep on the sofa, which he gratefully accepted. Bella went back to her room to hopefully relieve herself of her tensions quietly.

Bella locked her door, eager to find some relief from the tension that had been building inside her. She quickly undressed and slid onto her bed, propping up several pillows behind her back. As she lay there, she couldn't help but hear the sounds of Jill and Ted's lovemaking coming from the next room. At first, she tried to ignore it, but the moans and groans were hard to ignore.

Feeling aroused by the sounds, Bella let her hand and fingers glide over her most sensitive areas, feeling the familiar pleasure that came with it. She closed her eyes and tried to imagine herself in the same position as Jill, being taken by someones large member. The image alone was enough to send shivers down her spine.

As she continued to touch herself, Bella found herself listening more intently to the sounds coming from the other room. She heard the creaking of the bed, the rustling of the sheets, and the slapping of flesh against flesh. The sounds only served to heighten her own arousal, and she quickened the pace of her rubbing.

Soon, Bella was quite wet and slowly slipped a finger inside, feeling the relief wash over her. She let out a small gasp as she felt her walls contract around her finger. She couldn't help but imagine it was Dan's fingers inside her, his lips on her neck, and his hot breath in her ear.

However, the thought didn't feel quite right, and Bella knew he was not the one she was looking for. She wanted to be desired by someone, to feel their touch and their passion. But for now, all she had was her own hand, and she continued to pleasure herself with her fingers, quickening the pace until she reached a most satisfying climax that made her toes curl.

Bella took a few deep breaths to calm herself down from her release. Afterward, she went to the bathroom to clean up, feeling much more relaxed she hopped back onto her bed to continue reading her book.

The next morning, Jill came back to Bella's room with the biggest grin on her face.

"I guess you had a good time, was it an 8 inch monster?" Bella said with a knowing smile.

"Oh my god, Bella. It was the best I've ever had. The things Ted did to me, I didn't know some of them were possible. It wasn't an 8 inch monster, but it certainly was not little. Ted did this one thing with his tongue, I have no words to describe it," Jill said, still beaming.

Bella laughed "I'm happy for you, Jill, and a tad envious after hearing about all that."

"So, did you and Dan have a good time last night?" Jill asked, wiggling her eyebrows suggestively.

Bella chuckled saying. "We just talked. He slept on the sofa."

Jill pouted. "Boring. You should've at least made out with him or something."

Bella laughed. "I'll keep that in mind for next time."

They chatted a bit more before Jill headed back to her own room. Bella couldn't help but smile to herself. She was enjoying her time at the resort. Now, if only she could find someone to do amazing things to her with his tongue.

After another day of skiing and a fun evening at the movies, they returned to their rooms. As expected, Jill made a beeline for Ted's room with a sly smile on her face, leaving Bella and Dan alone in their room. They chatted for a bit before turning in for the night.

The next morning, they packed up their belongings and headed back to campus. Bella thanked Jill for the amazing weekend as she was dropped off, and said goodbye to Ted and Dan. She felt grateful for the break from her usual routine and the chance to make some new friends.

As Bella entered her house, she found Alice and Jasper snuggled up together on the couch. They asked her how the weekend was and Bella happily recounted her skiing adventures, leaving out the more intimate details of Jill and Ted's escapades.
