Chapter Fourteen: Wicked Games

EmmettPOV

"Give it to me!"

"No!" I shouted, standing up to my feet.

"Emmett! Give it to me now!"

"Why should I?"

"Because you're my boyfriend and I love you!"

"So," I replied with a smirk, holding the remote as high as I could get it. "What's that got to do with anything?"

"EM!" she shouted, stomping her feet to the ground, "You better give it to me right now."

"Ohh, I'll give it to you, all right. Front, back, sideways, reversed. Hell, I'll even flip you upside down and call you your mother!"

"Emmett Dale McCarty, you are a horrible person for saying that!"

"I thought it was fucking funny, Rosalie Lillian Hale!"

"Gosh, why do you have to be so crude? Just give it to me!"

"I think you should beg first. Besides, why do you want the damn remote, just to turn it on fucking The Hills. That isn't even an actual show."

"Yes it is!" she replied, hitting me hard in my chest. "And I love it."

"No, it's not," I continued, swinging around so she couldn't knee me in my junk, "all that show is, is a fucking skit. It's not real, none of it!"

"Oh, well neither are your fucking Xbox games, Mr. Rainbow Six, but you still enjoy playing them!"

"That's because they're at least challenging. Sitting on your ass watching little girls pretend to cry over boys, while a camera is in their face hardly classifies as anything other than ridiculous."

She jumped at me, wrapping her arms and legs around me at a vile attempt to use me as a pole which she could climb on to get the remote. But she didn't knock me off my course, oh no, I was on a rant. "Do you know why those shows are so popular?" I asked, as I put my palm on her face and pushed her away.

"Why?" she asked hastily, her voice muffled from my hand.

"Because women like you buy into that fucking bullshit. You're the same type of people who make Valentine's Day such a success, and why Easter sells the most fucking bunny rabbits. You're sheep."

She continued her attempt at climbing, almost to the point to where she was straddling my shoulders -- which honestly, I didn't mind one fucking bit. "God dammit, Emmett, if you don't give it to me right now, I swear with the Lord as my witness, I will never give you an underwater blow-job again!" I skidded to a halt, not twisting my body away from her. But I still held the remote up high. "You were the one who suggested that, I just enjoyed it. I really don't think you'll be able to withhold from me."

"Oh yes I will, mister!" she shouted, kneeing me in my diaphragm as she tried to turn her body around and climb up my back.

Then she decided to try and be sweet and pouty for a second, "Come on, babe, I've already missed four minutes of it! It's started already!"

"Oh poor baby," I replied sarcastically, yanking her back to the ground, taunting her with the remote. "I'll give it to you, but I want to hear you beg first."

"Emmett!"

"Beg."

"No.

"I better hear some begging, woman."

She sighed, glaring me in the eye. "Please give it to me."

"No, that's not what I want you to say," I taunted her. "Say, 'I, Rosalie, will vow to give you head every day for the remainder of the week, and if you ask politely, I will give it to you more than once a day.'"

"No!"

"Say it Rose," I gritted through my teeth, trying to sound fierce.

She sighed, throwing her hands on her hips. "Fine. I, Rosalie, will vow to give you head every day for the remainder of the week, and if you ask politely, I will give it to you more than once a day."

"Good girl," I replied, handing her the remote. "Now go get off on girlie shows."

She punched me square in the gut, knocking the wind out of me. "Dick."

I tried to push her away, but because my face was red, all I could manage was a weak tap on her shoulder, to which she laughed at me and then proceeded to tell me that it was what I got for being mean to her. Women. I swear.

As I went to sit down, I felt my arm being yanked back up, as Edward breezed by me. "Emmett, get up, I've got to talk to you." I groaned as he jerked me off the couch, pulling me into the garage with him. I noticed Dean and Paul were right on my heels, and immediately, my sarcastic humor kicked in again, "Guys, I'm not really in the mood for slash gay parties in the garage again."

"Shut up, it's important," Edward hissed.

"I'm sure it is, go get your wood somewhere else though, because Emmett-ville is closed to anyone besides my girlie-girl, because only she -- with the boobs and the ass you can bounce quarters off of -- holds keys to my kingdom cum."

"Emmett!" Edward shouted, as Paul shut the garage door behind us.

"Okay, okay, what?" I replied with a chuckle.

"I need your help."

"Buy her flowers, light some candles, and get some Al Green. Works like a charm."

Edward glared at me, not saying anything for a few moments. Dean hit the back of my head.

"Can't you be serious for just once in your life?" Edward snapped at me.

I raised my left eyebrow, shoving my hands in my pockets, "Fine, what's up?"

"Are you going to stop being a dick for five seconds?"

"Yes, bitch, what?"

He sighed, looking over at the door, which opened and Alice bounced in, with a smile on her face.

She looked chipper. Hmm...

Oooh, is this a fun orgy? I thought to myself, but didn't dare say it out loud, since Edward would probably knock me out twice -- once for commenting about his BFF for life!!, and a second time for not being serious.

"Okay Edward," Alice chimed, handing him a piece of paper, "I found the guy's address, I called him, put on my best radio host impersonation. I invited him to our party which will be held the night after tomorrow, saying as a secret admirer is sending him on vacation here in Colorado, and that the tickets are set and paid for. He agreed to it. Here's his ticket confirmation number, and his taxi contact."

"Perfect," Edward stated, giving her a hug, "thanks, I love you."

"No problem, but who's the guy?"

"I'll talk to you about it later. Thanks a million for doing that for me, Al."

"Anytime, E," she answered as she left the garage.

With that very second, Edward focused his attention back to me and his two other buddies, "Long story short, a guy in Bella's past will be coming to our party, and I am going to have a word with him -- that may possibly include me getting thrown in jail toward the end of the night. So I need the three of you guys to back me up, and keep me in line. I don't need anyone to step in, because I can handle it myself -- I just don't want to be too carried away. Do you understand?"

We all nodded, but Dean stepped forward, "Dude, what's the deal with the guy? What happened?"

Edward shook his head, looking to his shoes, "Let's just say, the mother fucker hit her, and he doesn't know how to take no for an answer, and he fucked with the wrong girl."

The three of us looked at Edward like he had an alien pop up on his shoulder.

I felt queasiness in my stomach that I hadn't felt since I threw up that last of the Jack on New Year's, and my heart began to pound erratically without my consent. "Do you mean..." I started, swallowing back the vile, "...with Bella?"

He nodded, shoving his hands in his pocket.

"Edward, was it..." Paul's voice trailed off, as he adjusted his beanie.

Edward nodded again, still looking sour.

"Christ man, I'm sorry," Dean said, rubbing Edward's arm. "That's fucked up."

"Yeah," Edward scoffed, still looking glum, "and it really hit home for me. I just... I know there's nothing I can do about it, but I feel as if, maybe if I had never acted out when Bella and I were together in high school, then she would have been with me. It would have never happened, you know? I sort of... feel like it's my fault. And it makes me sick to my stomach to know that, with or without my choice, I had a hand in that fucking matter. I don't want to ever feel like I do now. When she confided in me last night, I swear to Christ, man, my entire universe flipped and shook out everything that made sense in my life. It all just came spilling out, and nothing made sense anymore. I felt like the sickest mother fucker on the planet, man, because I wasn't with her. And it happened... It should have never happened..."

Edward sighed, as his arms began to shake, "I should have protected her."

"Dude, this isn't your fault, no one could have expected that to happen."

"No," Edward replied, not taking Paul's response correctly, "it shouldn't have happened at all. Not with someone I've loved all this time... Not with my girl."

I was so beyond pissed, words couldn't even come out of my mouth correctly. I couldn't imagine what was running through Edward's head at this moment.

"Are we gonna fuck him up?" I spat, as I started to tremble along with the rest of the guys, since our blood was boiling violently over. "Because I swear, man, I'll go to jail over a mother fucker like that, Edward. Just say the word."

"No," Edward shook his head, his eyes showing determination, "I'm gonna deal with it."

"We've got your back, Cuz," Dean replied, pounding his knuckles to Edward's. "That mother fucker isn't going to touch you once."

"Yeah, let the bitch try," Paul mused.

"Thanks guys," Edward said, patting us all on our arms, "you're the three men I'd want with me if we were ever in a battle... And I'd say this is war at this point."

"Straight up," I replied, nodding my head. "That pussy is going down."

We all began to sort out what we were going to do, and how to keep it away from the women and other people in the house.

Edward was still trembling as we headed back toward the door, but he stopped, and turned on his heel, "One more thing. Bella confided in me, so none of this shit leaves any of your mouths. Not even to each other, unless I'm present in the room. Her secrecy means a lot to me. I've only told you, so you'd keep me from killing the bitch -- unless I give the okay to just let me do it. Which I might. Do you got it?"

"Yes," we agreed in unison.

And I couldn't wait to see the dick-head who just fucked up his whole life when he laid a hand on Bella. Dude should have known better. No one fucks with Cullen and walks away to tell about it.

JasperPOV

"Hey..."

I turned around, noticing Bella standing there with her hands in her jeans pockets, looking like she lost her puppy. "Hey."

"What are you up to?" she asked, her eyes looking quite tortured.

"I'm setting up a poker table, about to ask all of the guys if they want to play a hand or two."

"Oh," she nodded, shuffling her body from side to side as she glanced around the room, "that's nice."

I pursed my lips, lifting my left eyebrow. I could tell she was trying an attempt to make small talk, so she could figure out how much I know about what she did. I couldn't decide whether or not I wanted to play it cool, or bring it up. Normally, I'm considered the nice guy -- by my choice -- but being the fact that this is the first time I've looked at Bella and felt my stomach twist in knots, that couldn't go too well for this awkward moment.

"Um," she began again, her voice shallow and shaky, "so, are you and Alice together now?"

I shrugged my shoulders, "We haven't really discussed it yet."

"Yeah?"

I nodded, pulling a few chairs to the poker table.

"Um, Edward and I, we're not together yet either."

I smirked, looking over to her and shaking my head, "Bella that's your business, not mine."

She looked like I just punched her in the stomach, "I know..." she whispered, "but I just... I thought maybe you'd like to kno-"

"You don't have to explain anything to me, like I told you before. What you do is your business."

"But I thought that you said we could try to be friends again."

"Yeah I did say that, but..." I sighed, pulling out the chips, "I still think that, quite frankly, you should have known better."

Edward and the guys headed toward me with beers in their hands.

I gave them all a nod, "You guys up for a game?"

"Fuck yeah," Emmett said, "give us just one sec and we'll be back."

"Okay, gather up all the guys."

"Sure."

I glanced back over to Bella, and she now had the expression like I slapped her mother. "So... you can talk to Edward, but you're upset with me, because I should have known better."

I gave her a slight nod, not looking at her, "Yeah pretty much."

"That's sort of shady. It makes no sense. Why does Edward get off so easily?"

I turned and glared at her, "Edward wasn't the one with a boyfriend, Bella. The one who spent the past three years of his life with me by his side to pick up all his broken pieces. That was you. You should have been more mature and discussed your feelings with me before making a decision that could hurt me like you did."

"What about your feelings for Alice?"

"Excuse me?" I asked, not bothering to hide the shock in my voice.

"Well, it's very clear that you had feelings for her from day one. Why didn't you discuss those feelings with me?"

"Yeah, there was an attraction Bella," I hissed at her, turning to face her now, "but there was never anything else. I'd never do anything that low to you. People, when they're in relationships, they still become attracted in some way or form by other people. It happens. However, I didn't act upon it in the fashion you did. I didn't cheat on you. The closest thing I ever did like that with Alice while you and I were together was dance with her. Once before New Year's, and once during the party. That's it."

"Please Jasper, she had it out for you since day one. You and Edward." She shook her head, scoffing.

Then she murmured, " I'm surprised she hasn't hung a sign over her head that reads, 'Picking up Bella's Seconds, come sign up' with blinking lights."

"Alice never made any moves on me either, Bella. Sure, I wondered a few times if she was attracted to me. But she was considerate enough to not try anything out of respect for my relationship with you."

"Yeah she sure did wait a good while for you to get over me too," she snapped back.

"You know what? I would have honestly thought that, after all of the years that you and I have been friends, you would have at least taken the time to appreciate what was in front of you. Whether or not you wanted to be with me, you could have put more respect for me into mind. But you didn't. You acted childish. You proved to me that you were, in fact, like all the women I told you about all those years. All the women I told you that screwed me over in my life, all the women that cheated on me, and all the women that tore me down. Honestly, I would have never guessed that you would end up on that list... But, I guess you didn't give a fuck after all. You didn't care. So don't come over here and expect me to just smile at you and pat you on the back, and ask you how good he was. Because I can't do that."

"I didn't expect you to!" she shouted, stepping toward me with wide eyes. "All I wanted to do was tell you that I was sorry it ended this way. That I was sorry I didn't tell you sooner, and that I didn't want to end up on that list, but I did and I accepted that fault. I wanted to try and start over, get back to being friends."

"Jasper?"

I turned, to see Alice heading toward us, wearing a blue jean skirt, a baby blue tank top with a red one underneath, and colorful matching hoop earrings and bracelets.

"Everything okay?" she asked, smiling at both Bella and I.

"Yeah," I smiled back, before turning to Bella, "everything's fine."

Bella nodded, sticking her hands back in her pockets as she gave Alice a weak smile.

"What are you two up to? About to play poker?"

"Me and the guys," I stated, "Bella was just here to have small talk."

"Oh."

"Yeah... I wanted to see if Jasper wanted to try and be friends," Bella explained to her, "but he seems to want to go back on his word now."

"I didn't say that," I argued, shaking my head at her, "but I didn't say it'd be an easy adjustment, Bella. What you did was wrong, and I'm trying to get you to understand that."

"But you're fine with Edward," Bella concurred.

"Edward was single," Alice interjected.

"No one asked you," Bella replied.

I covered Alice's mouth before she could snap back, and gently pushed her away, "I got this, please don't fight with her."

Alice put her hands on her hips, exhaling loudly, "I just don't understand her."

"I can handle my own, sweetheart," I simply stated, stroking her cheek with my thumb, "and by the way, you look beautiful today. Have I told you that yet?"

She grinned at me, "Only about six or seven times."

"Well, as long as it sinks into your head."

"It does," she replied with a giggle, standing on her tip toes and pulling me down so she could kiss my cheek, "just be careful with her. I don't want her to get you down."

"No worries," I answered as I rubbed the small of her back.

She nodded, and turned to walk toward Rosalie.

Once I turned back to Bella, she appeared to still be upset, "For someone who isn't dating Alice yet, you sure have a way of throwing it in my face."

"I didn't say I wasn't technically dating Alice, Bella. I said nothing had been discussed yet."

"Same difference," she said under her breath, "but look. I just wanted to apologize for my actions. I knew Alice would tell you, which she clearly has, and I can't say I blame her. She wanted you, she used what I did in her favor, and she won. Big deal. So, I'm going to do what I sought out for." She sighed, before speaking with a much calmer and sincere voice, " Jasper, I'm sorry for cheating on you with Edward. I wish there was a way that I could have gone back and handled it better. I never wanted to hurt you, and I was sick and disgusted with myself after it was said and done. And I know I should have told you as soon as it happened... but I was afraid."

I nodded to her and then slightly shrugged my shoulders, "I'll have to give it some time. But I appreciate you admitting your fault."

"Sure," she said, before twisting and walking away. I watched her as she headed toward the stares, and noticed Rosalie give her an evil eye as they passed each other. Damn. Was anyone getting along with Bella at this moment?

EdwardPOV

I was standing out on the balcony in my winter coat, digging in my pockets for my cigarettes, when Alice came bouncing out. Taking one look at her outfit and her long jacket, I shook my head and gave her a pointed glance, "You're stupid."

"Well, good afternoon to you too, my best friend in the whole wide world."

"Go put on some fucking jeans Alice, before you get hypothermia."

"I think it feels good out here. I just left Jasper, and Whoo! One embrace from him, and I'm all hot and bothered."

I turned to her again, while sticking my cigarette in my mouth and lighting it. "That's really fucking sick."

She smirked, throwing her hands on her hips and giving me her most adorable smile, "Says the smoker. How can you lecture me about hypothermia when you're going to have lung cancer?"

"Didn't you hear," I replied with a smirk, "smoking pot helps with cancer. So if I regulate the two periodically, I think I'll be just fine."

"That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard."

I laughed, giving her a nod, "I thought you'd be dumb enough to buy it."

"Not even for a second."

"Well damn."

She buttoned her jacket and walked over, wrapping her arms around my waist and placing her head on my back, "You smell nice. Is that the cologne I bought you for Christmas?"

I gave her a nod, exhaling my smoke, "Yep."

"It makes me want to lick you."

"Mmm," I teased, rubbing my back against her, "well make sure you hit a good spot if you're gonna do it. Make it worth my time. I've been in some need lately."

"Why's that?"

I sighed, "Bella."

Alice groaned, turning me around and pushing me to lean against the railing, "Please, spare me."

"Al, you're gonna have to get over it. I do care about her."

"Yeah yeah, blah blah," she pushed with her hands.

I tilted my head, taking another drag, "Al. Come on."

"Fine," she shrugged nonchalantly, peering over my shoulder at the iced over lake. "It's your funeral."

I smirked, shaking my head, "Can't you just be happy for me?"

"Not when you're with her. Why couldn't you have picked Bryan instead? She's at least more mature."

"Bryan?"

"Yeah. I thought you two were so hot together."

"Bry and I went on two dates, Alice. And it was a long time ago."

"Yeah, well, did you ever stop to think that maybe that was why I invited her back here for New Year's? Why she was hanging around you so much?"

"She hooked up with fuck-face in there," I replied with a chuckle.

"Because you made it pointedly clear that you'd rather torture yourself over your ex. Bryan's got class; she wouldn't get in the way of that."

"I have no interest in Bryan like that, Alice. She's a good friend."

"Please Edward! I remember once, you told me that she had the best lips in t-"

I covered her mouth, throwing my cigarette on the porch, "Let's not go there."

She yanked my hand away, digging her nails into my hand, "I'm just saying is all."

"Yeah, you're trying to start shit and it isn't working."

She glared at me, pulling her top lip between her teeth. "I love you so much, Edward. Please don't fuck up your life again over Bella."

"Alice," I replied, pulling her to me and holding her by her shoulders, "I'm a big boy. I will make my own decisions. Just as you will, and everyone else."

"What if it all comes back in your face?"

"It won't."

"How are you so sure?"

"Because I know Bella."

"So do I!"

"No," I stated, making it too clear, "you don't. She's been through a lot, Alice. Shit I wasn't even aware of, until recently."

"She still cheated on Jasper."

"Yeah, she did, and it was stupid on both our parts to do so. But you weren't there that night, you have no idea what was running through both of our minds at the moment, and you have no idea why she chose to do it."

"Do you?"

"Yes."

"Then enlighten me. Maybe it'd change my mind."

I scoffed, shaking my head at her, "It's not my place."

"I thought we told each other everything. Why are you keeping secrets from me?"

"Alice," I groaned, looking up as the sky became darker, "just stop. Please. Stop making this a big deal. You and I are friends, we'll always be friends, and you know that I love you just as much as you love me. But... can't you just let this go? I mean, no offense, but after all, aren't you with her ex?"

"But I-"

"No," I cut her off again, "it doesn't matter. You knew you liked him while he was attached to someone else."

"But I didn't act on those feelings, I-"

"Yes you did, Alice. You don't have to throw yourself at someone to act on those feelings. But your actions and your flirtations let him know that you were there for him, and that you wanted to be with him. That he'd have someone to fall back on. Whether or not you stripped down and fucked him senseless or not, you made your point that you wanted him very clear. How do you think he chose you? He's not the type of guy to just do that, Alice. He made his decision because he knew the choice was there."

She sighed, looking down and curling herself in her arms in a protective gesture, "So you look at me like I'm a home-wrecker, too, huh?"

I shook my head, "I'm just trying to say you're not completely innocent. None of us are. I shouldn't have done it knowing that Bella was with someone. Bella shouldn't have done it because she wasn't single. You shouldn't have gently pursued Jasper knowing that he was attached, and he shouldn't have grown feelings for you, knowing you weren't his girlfriend. We were all in the wrong."

She nodded, still looking sad, "Yeah... I guess you're right."

"Thank you. So can you lay off Bella now?"

She shrugged, "I guess."

"Thanks." As we were entering the house, Dean pushed me back and shut the door after Alice went inside. "Dude, what the fuck?"

"Give me a cigarette. I'm out."

I gave him one, and chose to stay outside with him while he smoked it. While he did, I found Bella inside the house, talking with Colleen and Jacob, laughing. She looked so beautiful.

"So... are you and Bella going to get together or what?"

"Eventually."

"She's really sexy, Edward."

"No shit," I replied with a chuckle.

Bella turned out to look at me, waving with a sweet smile. I returned it, wiggling a few fingers back at her.

"Dude," my cousin scoffed, punching me in my arm, "you've got it bad for her."

I nodded slowly, pulling my lip in and licking it as Bella and I smiled at each other through the glass, "Yeah I know."

"Like... really bad."

"Yeah." I watched as Bella bit her lip while Colleen whispered to her, and then her cheeks turned to a slight shade of pink.

"That fucking blush she does is sweet as hell though," Dean said.

"I know. I love it."

"Then why don't you just fuckin' bite the bullet and go get her?"

"Because I want us to work."

Dean chuckled sarcastically, "And... don't you have to be together in order to work out?"

"Yes, but..." I tilted my head, giving her a wink, watching her cheeks turn darker, "we're taking it slow."

"If you wait too long, the moment's going to pass."

"I'm not going to wait too long."

"I'm just saying... A woman like that only comes around once in a great while. And she wants you. You better fucking own up and do something about it."

"Yeah, yeah, mind your own fucking business," I replied with a chuckle, pushing him back. "I've got this."

"Okay, Mr. GQ."

I turned, giving him my best grin. "It's in the bag. Come on, let's go play some cards."

We strolled back inside, heading toward the card table. Bella bit her lip as her and Colleen both grinned at me. Bella was wearing a fitted pair of skinny blue jeans which were folded up an inch on the bottom, and a black velvet tank top that graced her body perfectly. She matched it with a pair of black heels, and her long chestnut hair was down and wavy. She was perfect.

I walked over to her, wrapping my arms around her petite waist and burying my face in her neck. She smelled delicious, with that fucking strawberries and cinnamon that intoxicated me within seconds. I hummed, rubbing my nose along her neck. I felt her shiver as Colleen squealed beside her. "You smell very edible," I whispered against her skin.

Bella slowly ran her hands up the back of my shirt, scratching lightly as she went, "Oh yeah?"

"Yes."

I could hear her smile, as her flirtations kicked back in against mine, "Does that mean you could just... eat me up?"

"Yes."

"Is that so?"

"Bella!" Colleen squealed again with a laugh, and I felt her nudge Bella in the arm. "Oh my gosh, you're so bad."

I grinned against her neck, pulling her closer to me, "Twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, three hundred and sixty-five days a year."

"Mmm," she answered, as she scratched the back of my head and caused me to roll my eyes in the back of my head, "and when do we get to start that?"

I couldn't help but laugh, loving our little flirtations, "When are you available?"

"...Anytime you need me to be." Bella giggled, and I could feel her body becoming warmer with our contact.

"Lovebirds! Release!" Emmett commanded. "We need Edward so we can play this game."

Slowly, I inhaled her scent again and pulled my face away from her neck. Our bodies were still connected at the waist, and I curled my thumbs into her belt loops, shoving her up against me. Her grin matched mine as she dipped her hands beneath the back of my shirt. "Possibly... later tonight?" I asked, biting my bottom lip.

"Quite possibly. What did you have in mind?"

I licked my lip, shaking my head. I wasn't expecting her to bounce back this quickly, figured she would have shied away by now. I shouldn't have though. Bella isn't in high school anymore. She's grown, she's matured... she's turned into a very, very sexy woman. We needed to stop before we got carried away. Friends, friends, friends, friends, friends.

She dipped her head down, so she could look me in my eyes. "Edward?"

"Uh..."

"Edward! Let's go!" Saved by the Emmett.

I released her, rubbing her arms, "I've got to play."

"Okay," she replied, tilting her head at me. "Have fun. Win big."

I kissed her cheek and gave her a wink, before turning on my heels and heading toward the boys. "So, what are we playing?"

"Hold 'em," Jacob answered.

I looked to find Emmett on my left, followed by Paul, Dean, Jake on the opposite end from me, then Jasper, and Makin, and Rose to my right.

I lifted my brow to her, "What are you doing?"

"I'm dealer," she copped off at me with a sneer, "so... good luck, Eddy."

I tilted my head at Emmet, "she's a fucking girl. I thought we were playing."

"We are. She's just the dealer."

"You're a fucking bitch," I hissed at him with a laugh. "A pussy whipped fucking bitch."

"Eat my ass, Eddykins."

Jasper lifted the remote, turning on a country song. I exhaled, keeping my remarks to myself. Country music wasn't my favorite, to say the least. But you've got to give a little to take some.

I watched Rosalie shuffle the cards beneath her manicured nails. Her outfit was simple, white jeans with those new gladiator style heels that I didn't understand at all, and a black tank top. Her hair was pulled high in a messy bun, with pieces dangling everywhere. But the fact that she could sit next to me and was drinking fucking Budweiser gave her some props. At least the evil woman didn't need a girly drink.

She passed out the cards, and I heard giggling. I peered over Dean and Jakes shoulders, and noticed that Alice and Bryan were laughing as they danced on top of the coffee table to 'Bob That Head' by Rascall Flatts. All of the girls were in the room together, which made me smile, realizing that Bella and Alice were arms length away. Bella and Colleen were spinning each other around and swaying their hips, while Charlee was dancing with a blonde that I didn't recognize.

I scrunched my brows, trying to figure who she was. I started to open my mouth and ask, but Paul must have known, because he answered for me, "That's Dean's fuck buddy from New Year's. Her name is Amber."

"She's cute," I stated. "She's tiny."

"And she's limber," Dean replied with a wink.

Paul and Emmett burst into laughter, while Jake punched Dean's knuckles.

Our game began then, but I couldn't help but watch the girls every other minute or so. Thank God I could multi-task, or I would be fucked during round one.

BellaPOV

Colleen and I started laughing when 'I Wanna Sex You Up' by LFO came on.

"Oh my God, blast from the past!" she shouted, gripping my hips. We began to giggle and sway with each other, reminiscing about our freshman year in college, when this old song came on. We were at a party and we were drinking. Needless to say, my shyness was gone by the end of the night, and we ended up on round tables, dancing in front of the boys, Paris-Hilton style. It was a fun way to start the new life in college.

"I wanna sex you up!" we shouted, lifting our arms, "I know the way you like it! Let me freak you up! Uh ha! Uh ha!"

I noticed Alice was dancing with Bryan, while Charlee was dancing with the new girl, Amber. She was pretty, with curly, long blonde hair, and a petite body like Alice's. She had a curvy smile, the kind that was contagious. And she was very kind at heart, which made getting along with her so much easier.

We continued to sway around, laughing about the good ol' times. As we danced, I noticed Edward glancing at us every once in a while. And boy, did he look sexy... Wearing black pants and a fitting grey jacket with a lighter grey t-shirt beneath it. His bronzed hair was perfect as always, but it wasn't my favorite feature on him today... No not by far. Edward wore glasses today. Perfectly shaped to his face, they were simple squared glasses, with thin black frames. He looked so fucking good in them, I could barely control myself.

During the day, we've flirted countless times.

From when he argued with me over his "toasting perfections" during breakfast, to when he kept trying to peer over my shoulders and tell me the answer to a pointless crossword puzzle I was trying to work on. He'd make me frustrated because he kept telling me the answers, but he was so freaking cute, and I couldn't push him away.

He'd tell me to stop smiling when he knew I couldn't, making it worse.

After that, when I went out to get Rosalie's jacket for her from Emmett's jeep, Edward took it upon himself to toss snowballs at me. We ended up creaming each other with them, until he picked me up over his shoulder and ran around the yard. Then I knew I was done for... and I was right when he tossed me into a snow drift.

During lunch, there was more interaction. He kept picking food off my plate instead of eating his own -- which was the exact same kind and quantity, mind you -- because he kept claiming that mine tasted better than his. Men.

Then, when he was playing Xbox with all of the guys, I kept playing with his hair and trying to distract him, so Emmett could win. He'd try to focus, but all it took was a hot breath to his ear, and he was done for. Emmett still hadn't given me that five bucks for doing that... not that he'd have to pay me. Any chance I could have to touch Edward, I took it. Gladly!

After that, we managed to talk a little while when we folded some laundry. About a few of the stupid things we did in school, and in college. I learned more about the girls he casually dated, about his family, and about his friendship with Alice. He learned more about Phil playing baseball for the Rockies, my relationship with my mom, and the losers I would never date again...

...Now, as the hour went by, we continued to be girls and dance around, watching as the boys slowly ended up out of the poker game. Jacob and Paul was goners first, followed by Emmett and Makin. It was down to Dean, Edward, and Jasper.

Emmett began to dance with all of us, while Jacob and Paul discussed how their techniques in Poker weren’t "up to par" that time around, and what they were going to do the next time.

Makin was occupied, dancing between Colleen and I. After that, Dean got out, thanks to Jasper.

"Bella!"

I snapped out of my dream, turning toward the guys at the table. "Yeah?"

"Hey sissy, the guys want a few beers. Can you grab 'em for them?"

I nodded at Rosalie, and headed toward the fridge. Once I handed it to him, I looked over Edward's shoulder, sneaking a peak at his hand. Ace and a King of clubs. And there were three clubs on the table as well. Everyone headed toward the table to watch the game between Edward and Jasper, and take some of the beers I had left.

I ran my hands through Edward's bronzed hair with a smile on my face, causing him to hum in approval.

"That feels good," he whispered.

With that response, I couldn't help myself. I gripped his hair with my left hand and jerked his head to the side, lowering my face. I bit the side of his neck, and heard his breath intake when my teeth made contact, then he got the sexiest look on his face ever. Immediately, I wanted to do it again.

All of his friends started shouting "OH!!" at us.

"Bellaaaaa, baby, stoooop it," he squirmed with an adorable chuckle, "I'm trying to concentrate."

My heart sped up to ninety, and I couldn't help but giggle against his skin, before releasing him.

His grin was smeared across his face as he licked his lips, shaking his head. "All in."

Jasper agreed to match him, even though he had less chips. I held my breath as Rosalie flipped the "river" card, which was a two of hearts. I watched Jasper's lips twitch downward, but he kept his face composed. They flipped their cards over, and Edward grinned while Jasper's face sunk. "I was going for the full house," Jasper explained sourly.

All the guys cheered while Edward stood up. Rosalie slapped Edward's palm with a wad of cash that he won, and then Alice announced it was game time for all of us.

"Twenty questions, get in here everyone!"

Edward moved the chair and yanked me in his arms roughly, squashing my chest to his, "Thank you."

I bit my lip, wrapping my arms around his neck, "For what?"

"For being my good luck charm."

I couldn't help but smile like a fool as he gave me a big hug, swaying our bodies from side to side. Then he lifted me up off the ground, squeezing me tighter. I felt absorbed in giddiness, with his irreplaceable warmth and scent, and that fucking sexy hair and those damn glasses. I was practically a puddle at his feet.

He set me down, kissing the top of my head and pulling me into his side. I allowed him to walk me into the den, where the rest of our friends were.

Alice was sitting on the ottoman with a wide bucket in her lap, protecting it like it was her first born child. Jasper was sitting beside her, in a recliner. Emmett, Dean, and Paul were sitting on the couch, with Rosalie, Amber, and Charlee between their legs, on the floor. Bryan and Jacob were on the far love seat, holding hands. Edward pulled me down beside him on the chaise, keeping his arm draped over my shoulders. Colleen and Makin were sitting on the ground, next to Edward and I.

Alice cleared her throat, "Okay, so here's what we're going to play: Twenty Questions - Alice style. As all of you know, I've asked every one of you questions and gossip about what you'd like to know about each person in this cabin, including me. Then I've written them all down, cut them up into squares, folded them, and placed them into this bowl. If you get asked a question, and we don't feel you've given a good enough explanation, or if you chose to back out of answering it, then you have to do a dare, which is in this other bowl. Also, after every five questions, we have to draw out of the dare pile. That way it stays fun. You can also choose to do a dare, instead of being drawn for a question. Whichever you prefer. That way, we all get something. Deal?"

"One condition," Edward said, raising his hand, "no men making out, and girls are welcome to it."

The guys laughed at him in unison, chugging their drinks, while we just rolled our eyes. Then he said, "Do we get any outs in this game, Al?"

Alice shook her head, "Nope, you either do a dare or the question."

We all agreed to her terms, and Alice handed the bowl over to Rosalie. "You can go first sweetie. Draw one out and pick your target."

Rosalie grinned, pulling a piece of paper out and opening it. "Okay, Alice, I'm going to ask you because I'm curious. Do you like to watch porn, and why or why not?"

Alice giggled, shaking her head, "Not really, because I don't like the zooms in porn at all. It's so vulgar, and I get that they're having sex, but why zoom into it that close? Ewww. But, if I were forced to watch it, I'd prefer to watch girl on girl porn. It's sweeter."

Jasper perked his eyebrow to her, and I leaned more into Edward.

Alice ripped the bowl from her hands, clapping her hands. "My turn! Okay... Emmett, what is the one thing in your life you most regret?"

Emmett sighed, taking a drink of his beer, "Well... there was the opportunity to have a three-some with Chinese chicks-"

Rosalie slapped his leg really hard, causing him to wince.

"Ouch! Okay, sorry. Uh... Probably not spending more time with my Pops. I miss him a lot, and I'd love to have gone golfing with him once."

Alice tossed him the bowl, and he acted like he was going to peak at a few, so Rosalie smacked him again.

"My bad yo. Okay, uh... Jasper, who are you most jealous of in this house, and why?"

Jasper sighed, shaking his head, "Uh, not really jealous of anyone per se, but... I guess Edward a little."

"Why?"

"Just because he seems so slick all the time, like he doesn't have a care in the world. Everyone sort of flocks to him wherever he goes, and all the women love him. I guess I'd like to know how he handles all of that pressure."

Emmett turned to Edward and I on the chaise, "Edward, care to counter?"

Edward shrugged and I felt him pull me closer as his arm slid from my shoulders down to my side. He grinned, and that caused his friends to laugh. Then he began to laugh, "I don't really know. I'm just me, day in and day out. I don't try to be anyone else."

"But you have to realize that people are constantly around you," Jasper argued, "I mean, doesn't that get old after a while?"

Edward shook his head, continuing to pull me closer to him, "Nah." With that, we all laughed at his cockiness.

Now it was Jasper's turn, and he smirked as he read it, "Do you think you're smarter than the person to the left of you, Bella?"

I bit my lip and looked over to Edward, who turned and smiled at me, penetrating me with his eyes. "Um..."

Everyone laughed as Edward and I continued to smile at each other. "I, uh," I couldn't stop giggling, the way he was looking at me with that expectant look, "...no?" Everyone laughed louder at my cowardly answer.

"Answer truthfully!" Rosalie shouted, throwing a piece of popcorn she was chewing on at me.

"I think he's smarter than me in most things, yes."

"But what are you smarter than him in?"

"Uh...fashion?" I asked, causing them to roar more. "Guys, shut up! I don't know how to answer that!"

"It's okay," Edward said, rubbing my arm.

They passed the bowl around to me, and I read it to myself.

Right after it, I felt my face turned beet red and hot.

There was only one person I wanted to know the answer from with this perverted question, but I was also scared to know it.

"Uh oh, she's blushing, that can't be good," Paul teased me.

I covered my face, causing the room to laugh at me again.

"Just say it Bella!" Alice said with a laugh.

I took a deep breath, keeping my head down, "Fine. Edward..." then my giggle fit started again. I could feel the chaise rocking from both of us laughing, and I seriously wanted to hide.

"Bells, come on," Jacob groaned, though he was laughing too.

"Fine, fine," I swallowed, shaking my head, "fine. Edward, if I was a food, what type would I be, and how would you eat me?"

There they went again, laughing at me, as some of his friends started shouting him answers.

I covered my mouth and took a few seconds before turning to my side and facing him. And his lips had that perfect little perch to them as his friends continued to spur him on.

Then I watched as his lips formed from a half smile, to a crooked full one.

"Uh oh," Dean shouted, "he's got a good one!"

"I've got two answers," Edward sprouted off, which I think caused everyone to laugh so hard, we were getting tears in our eyes.

"Say it! Say it! Say it!"

"Okay, one... I was going to say... spaghetti."

"Spaghetti?!" Alice shouted, almost spitting out her wine she was drinking.

The guys were covering their faces from laughing so hard, while Edward held up a finger, "Wait, wait, let me explain. I was going to say spaghetti, and eat you like a three year old, where they stick their entire face over it and lick the noodles and use their hands and just rub it all around-"

That was it. Almost everyone rose to their feet, bellowing over with laughter, while I covered my burning face with both hands, feeling like a giddy fourteen year old again.

"And the second?" Dean demanded through his own giggle fit.

"OR!" Edward continued, "I was going to say... something that lasted a really long time, like... a tootsie pop or an ice cream cone-"

"Because you'd be doing a lot of fucking lickin'," Emmett cut him off.

Edward pointed to him with a grin, "Exactly."

"Oh my gosh, I think I'm gonna get sick," Rosalie said, though I could see her chuckling too.

"I think Bella's face has reached a new level of color," Alice chimed in.

It really confused me. Earlier, she was arguing with me about Edward and Jasper. Now she was... almost being nice to me. What the hell?

Edward pulled the bowl away with his left hand, while he pushed his right hand between my thighs, squeezing my left one in his hand. "Okay, uh...-"

"Wait!" Alice said, jumping to her feet, "we've past our limit. And since you're next, Edward, then you have to pull from the dare bowl, and do exactly as it says."

"Oh come on!" Edward shouted as everyone laughed again, "that isn't fair!"

"Yes it is! I told you the rules before we began. Take a dare, Eddy."

Edward rolled his eyes and pulled a piece of paper from the other bowl, "It says... Pick a member of the opposite sex and go to another room. They must exchange underwear for the remainder of the game. Both must reveal the set, but don't have to sit in them without any other clothes." He shook his head, as he scratched his hair, "That's sick, Alice."

"I didn't suggest that one! Emmett did!"

"That's because Emmett's a panty snatcher."

"That was one time!" Emmett argued, "And I should have never told you!"

"Get to it!" Alice said, pushing Edward's leg. He turned to me, biting his lip, "May I wear your underwear?"

Again, I covered my face as he climbed off the chaise. Before I could answer, I felt him bend over and pick me up, throwing me over his shoulder before I could answer. He slapped my ass once, and then took off to the nearest bathroom. He locked the door before sitting me down in there.

"Edward, do we have to do this?"

"Sorry love, it's a dare."

"Oh my God."

"Drop 'em, let me see what you got."

"Oh my God, oh my God," I giggled. "This is not happening. This is too much." I watched as he unfastened his jeans. Oh dear Lord, help me control myself. "I'm gonna climb in the shower, that way you can't see me."

He laughed, scratching his head, "Are you bashful?"

"I just think that it... won't be good for our... situation, if we were to get naked pelvically."

He grinned, "Fine. Hurry up."

I climbed in the shower, and bit my lip as I unbuttoned my jeans and kicked off my heels. As I was pulling my pants down, I felt something land on my head. "Thanks!" I replied, looking at his black boxers. "These are pretty."

"Shut up and give me yours."

I threw those boxers over my shoulder while I finished undressing. Then I pulled my panties off and tossed them over the shower rod.

It was silent for a few minutes, and I feared the worse: He was inspecting them or something. Taking a chance, I bit my lip and peered out the side of the curtain. There he was, holding my lacey red, low-rise, Victoria Secret panties, his lips parted. "These are nice, Bella. Thank God it's not a thong."

"Thanks," I replied, pulling my face away. Then I realized I didn't even look down at his goods when I had the chance. Dang it.

It took awhile to shove his boxers in my jeans and make them look as good as those panties did. Then I climbed back out, watching him re-tie his shoes. "Does my butt look okay?" I asked, spinning around.

He looked up and grinned at me, "Ass is perfect." Then he spun around, "How about mine? Does it look effortless?"

"Oooh, very sexy."

"Alright then," he said, picking me up and throwing me back over his shoulder, "off we go."

"Edward! I can carry myself!"

"No this is more fun for me."

Once we got in there, Alice stood up with her hands on her hips while he sat me back down, "Okay, let us see them!"

I rose to my feet beside him, and we showed everyone what we were wearing, which I thought Emmett was going to have heart failure from laughing too hard.

"Dude," Dean slapped his leg, "those are so sexy on you. Red's your color."

"Isn't it?" Edward replied sarcastically, before pulling me down beside him again.

We let the giggles subside, before Edward pulled out a question, "Okay... Uh... Colleen, who was the last person you cheated on? Who was the person you cheated with, and what happened?"

She groaned, covering her face, "Why did you have to pick me?"

"Because you were the closest."

"Fine... Uh, I cheated on this guy named Brian with a guy named Alex. It lasted a total of two times, and it wasn't worth it, to be honest."

I leaned over, rubbing her shoulder. Then Edward passed the bowl to her.

"Fine, okay... uh... Emmett... Has anyone ever told you to stop during sex? What was the reason?"

Emmett burst into laughing, pulling his hat down over his face.

"Was it that bad?" Colleen asked him with a giggle.

"No, no, it's just..."

I watched as Rosalie elbowed him in the shin, biting her lip. That was when I realized it was her who stopped him. The weird thing was, she looked embarrassed, and I've never seen her embarrassed.

"You have to say!" Alice countered.

He took a deep breath, whining under his hat. "I was... told before that I was too big and that it hurt her."

I couldn't stop looking at my sister, feeling for her embarrassment. I knew what it felt to feel like the entire room was staring down at you.

"Who was it?" Colleen asked. "That's the second part of the question."

"A... girlfriend of mine."

"Who? You've got to say names."

"Uh... I think her name was... Jessica."

"You think?"

"Yeah."

Colleen shook her head, but passed the bowl to Rose to give to Emmett. Rose bit her lip, before lifting the bowl over her head and giving it to Emmett.

"Okay," Emmett cleared his throat, "Jacob, who gets tied up more during sex, you or your partner? If you have never tried this, why not?"

Jacob smiled proudly, spreading his contagious grin around all of us, "Lately, it's been about equal, but I quite enjoy being the tied up one."

Bryan nodded proudly, causing us girls to giggle, "He really does."

"So who would you say is more?"

"Uh..." he scratched his head, "I guess me."

Bryan agreed.

"Okay... let's see here..." Now it was his turn to burst into hysterics, "I've got to ask Rosalie this one. You have all suddenly been taken hostage. The only way you will survive is if you perform oral on anyone of the same sex in the room. Who would it be, and why?"

Rosalie took a sip of her wine, glancing around the room, "I'd have to say... Charlee, because she's sexy like me."

"Damn straight!" Charlee agreed, climbing to her knees and high fiving her.

"Can we watch?" Jacob asked, as the guys agreed. I elbowed Edward when he did. He turned and grinned at me, before leaning to whisper in my ear, "Why not? Maybe it'd be her calling. After all, she's a bitch, and people say that humans loosen up when they get some pussy."

I bit my lip, shaking my head as he pulled his face away, "You're disgusting, and that's my sister."

"She's still a bitch."

"Eee, my turn!" Rosalie pulled the paper from the bowl, "Uh... Makin, have you ever done any time in jail, or community service? What for?"

Makin shrugged, shaking his head, "I've done community service after I punched my teacher in the nose."

"Why did you do that?!"

"He said I reminded him of my father."

Jasper shook his head before leaning over and patting his best friend on the shoulder, "It was worth those forty-eight hours, wasn't it?"

"Damn straight!" Makin replied.

"Dare time," Alice handed him a bowl.

Makin pulled one and read it to himself, "French kiss the person to your right for thirty seconds."

"I'm timing!" Emmett shouted.

"NO!" We all shouted back to him, and then laughed.

Alice closed her eyes, smiling to herself.

"Come here," Makin said, crawling to his knees. Alice dropped to her knees, and once they met, he tucked his hand behind her neck and pressed his lips to hers. Jasper shook his head, grinning at them. We could visibly see Makin slide his tongue into Alice's mouth, and they got more into it. I glanced at my watch, watching the seconds pass by.

"Time."

Alice pulled away, licking her lips, "Wow. Colleen, he's a good kisser."

"Thanks! I know!"

Makin pulled out another piece of paper, "Uh... Bryan, do you swallow or spit, and why?"

Bryan grinned, "Depends on the man."

"With Jacob?"

"Swallowing, all of it. Because it's yummy."

Jacob grinned and gave a cocky nod, while Emmett patted him on the back.

I felt myself gag a little.

RosaliePOV

The bucket was passed to Bryan, and she pulled out another truth question. "Okay, uh, Jacob, what is your biggest fear?"

Jacob pursed his lips and scrunched his forehead. "Uh... I'd say... tornadoes."

"Aww, really?" Bryan cooed, forcing me to roll my eyes.

Her sister was so much cooler, in my opinion.

"Yeah, I fucking hate them."

"Is there a reason behind that?"

"I don't know, I just hate it. I even hate when the wind gets really bad outside, I don't know why."

"Aww," Bryan cooed again, forcing me to roll my eyes once more. "That's so adorable. I wouldn't have picked that."

She handed the bowl over to him, kissing his cheek.

Jacob sighed, "Uh... Edward, what exactly did you see in Tanya, and what really happened between the two of you?"

I watched as both that fucker and my little sister tensed up, pulling slightly away from the other, but not too much. Not enough.

Jacob turned the paper, proving to Edward that he wasn't making it up, and that was what was really written on the paper.

Dickward shook his head, "Uh, I saw..." He closed his eyes, twitching his lips.

Bella bit her lip, closing her own eyes and swallowing hard.

"I was stupid."

"That doesn't answer the question."

Edward sighed again and cleared his throat, "Fine, I'll answer it so you all lay off. Tanya was the exact opposite of Bella. She was-"

"Blonde, big boob'd, and about as smart as a rock?" I offered to him.

He glared at me, while Bella did too.

"Rosalie," she scoffed, "Quit. Let him talk."

I glared back at her before turning my death gaze back to her idiot ex boyfriend. "Continue."

"She acted like she understood the emotions I was going through. The insecurities, the confusion. She said she had the same problem with her boyfriend at the time; he cheated on her with her enemy. We could relate to that, and then we just... I don't know, man. We got drunk and made a stupid mistake."

"What did you do?" Jacob countered again with a grin.

"We drank to the point of a coma, and she pulled me into Bella's bathroom, and began kissing me before I could think about it. As she was doing it, all my pain and heartache from Bella's infidelity with you came out of me, and I began to kiss her back. I remember a mix of foreign emotions came across me while I was doing it, and I knew it was wrong... but I sort of wanted to both, make Bella feel the same pain I did, but then again, I just wanted to stop and go drink until I passed out. However, since I was drunk, clothes started to get removed, and right as she was about to yank my boxers down, the door swung open and Bella cleared her throat to get our attention. I think you know the rest Jacob. After all, you do live your life through Bella."

"Edward," Alice said, "be nice."

"It's the truth."

"Fuck you Cullen."

Edward smirked, "At least you're not denying it, faggot."

Jacob started to stand up, but Bryan pushed him back down.

"Be nice. Edward's my friend."

"I don't care."

"You can fucking try," Edward said, "but don't blame me when you get put in the hospital."

"EDWARD!" Alice shouted, "Be nice, dammit. Moving on. It's your turn, go."

The bowl got tossed over to him, and he opened the paper up hastily, murmuring to himself. "Jasper, who is the most beautiful person you know, inside and out? God, that's fucking cheesy, Alice."

"I didn't pick that one either, Edward. Rosalie did."

He glowered at me, shaking his head, "Should have known. All you care about is vanity."

I scoffed at him, "You don't even know me, bitch."

"Rose!" Bella shouted at me. "Stop."

I took a deep breath, glaring over at Jasper, who appeared to be relaxed as always.

"I'd honestly have to answer Alice," he replied, causing Alice to blush faintly.

"Why?"

"Because... I don't know, I cannot explain it. She's sweet, she's sensitive, she's caring and feisty. She's beautiful and charming. She's classy but knows how to put you in your place. She's intelligent, has goals, she's the type of person I want to take to meet my mother... Alice is the most fantastic person I've ever had the chance to meet. I feel like I've known her my whole life."

"Aww," all of us girls said at different seconds, while Alice became giddier.

I caught Bella look to her lap out of the corner of my eye. See how stupid you are? I thought to myself. Look at what you could have had if you weren't so dumb.

Edward brought the bucket around, handing it to Jasper.

"Emmett, what is your biggest pet peeve, having to do with a romantic partner?"

Emmett groaned again, and I could tell he feared me. I was so thankful though that he didn't tell everyone about our latest sexual problem and the one time that we attempted it, no matter how much we tried, it hurt me. I think I was too nervous last night... but I hoped he wouldn't hold it against me.

"Uh, I'd have to say... the fact that she sometimes doesn't leave people and their own problems alone."

I held my breath and spun around on my knees, facing him, "People like my sister and Edward?"

He nodded, looking at me as if he were preparing himself for war.

"That's becaus-"

My mouth was covered by his hand.

"It was my question, not yours babe."

I sneered at him, before jerking his hand away. He bugged me sometimes.

Jasper gave the bucket to him, "Your turn Emmett."

"And it's dare time!"

Slowly, I twisted back around, crossing my arms over my chest.

Emmett pulled out the paper, "Lie down on your back and be blindfolded. Next a random person is chosen. You stick out your tongue and begin licking. Places must rotate every thirty seconds, which ends up being six total. You must lick anything that is placed on your tongue and do not stop licking until three minutes have passed."

I bit my lip while everyone else laughed. No way I was giving him that satisfaction.

"I grabbed a bottle," Alice said, lying down on the coffee table in front of us, "Spin and get your random partner."

"I'm not fucking l-"

"SPIN!" Alice demanded, hands on hips. She meant business.

Emmett groaned, leaning over me and spinning the bottle.

It landed on Paul.

That caused the room, including myself unwillingly, to have another uproar.

Paul climbed to his feet, pulling his jeans up, "This is going to be great."

"Do I have to be blindfolded?" Emmett whined.

"Yes!" I shouted.

Emmett stepped over me hastily, and lay down on his back in the middle of the floor, while Alice wrapped a handkerchief around his eyes. "Paul, I swear to God as my witness, if any part of your ass, your balls, your taint, or your dick goes anywhere near my fucking face, I'm going to get off this carpet and fucking knock you out."

Paul laughed, kneeling over him. Everyone began to motion things to Paul while my boyfriend lay blindfolded and vulnerable on the carpet. Nipples, ass cheeks, everything was being suggested.

"Timer starts now," Alice chimed with a giggle.

Emmett stuck his tongue out and Paul placed his elbow to his mouth. We all began to laugh and chant as Emmett started licking it. Both Emmett and Paul had sour looks on their faces.

"Thirty seconds! Switch places."

Paul groaned, putting the back of his hand on Emmett's tongue, "Ew, it's fucking warm."

"Is it turning you on?"

"Fuck you Charlee!"

"I'm just asking, because it's turning me on."

"It would."

As that was going on, I watched dip shit bury his face into the crook of my sister's neck, applying a ginger kiss there. She closed her eyes, leaning her head toward him.

I wanted to throw my entire bowl of popcorn at them to get them to stop.

"Switch to a new spot!"

Paul then stood up and pressed his foot to Emmett's mouth, causing more of us to laugh.

"This," Emmett scoffed, is fucking gross.

"Keep licking!"

Emmett began again, and I could tell he was trying not to gag.

"Switch!"

Paul seemed to be grossed out to, as he lifted his shirt and pushed his shoulder to Emmett's tongue. All the men in the room began to wince and groan, covering their eyes.

"What... the fuck... am I licking?" Emmett asked between licks, causing us to laugh.

"My shoulder bitch, hurry up!"

"Switch!"

Next, it was Paul's forearm.

Then it was his index finger, causing us to all laugh again.

Once it was finally over, Emmett climbed to a sitting position and punched Paul really hard in his chest. "That's fucking gross. You taste like salty ass."

"You liked it bitch," Paul replied, shoving him with his knee as he sat beside Charlee.

"Yeah, over my dead body."

"Emmett, ask a question."

"Let's see... Oooh, I know who I'm gonna ask. Do you masturbate, and if so, how frequent, and if not, then why... BELLA?"

Again, like the blushing bride she appeared to be when sex came up, Bella covered her right cheek with her hand.

"Sometimes," she whispered, so faint that we all went, "WHAT?"

"Sometimes," she stated again.

"How frequently?"

My sister bit her lip, "Uh... once every week or two, I guess. Sometimes less."

Edward covered his face and his shit-eating smile.

I could only imagine what he was thinking about, and how it involved my sister.

God I hate him so much.

AlicePOV

I took the bowl from Emmett and handed it to Bella. "Here you go, your turn."

She chewed on the inside of her cheek as she pulled one out, "Okay, BFF, what sex act do you like that would freak other people out if they knew?"

Colleen covered her face again, and she reminded me a lot of Bella. They were both bashful.

Makin nudged her arm, causing her to giggle.

"I don't know if I had anything that would necessarily freak people out, but... I like to be tied down completely, like the legs and the arms, in all four corners. Blindfolds are nice, and..." She shook her head, "one time I was actually gagged. It wasn't that bad, because I trusted the person."

"Oh my gosh!" I replied with a giggle. I never expected her to be that type. Freak in the sheets, I guess.

She bit her lip, pulling out a paper, "Um... Edward, have you ever done anything sexual with Charlee or Bryan, or both? If so, what did you do? If not, why?"

I grinned, trying to avoid Edward's eyes.

"Alice, you're a bitch."

"What?" I replied with a chuckle, pretending to be careless. "I don't know what you're talking about."

"I'm sure."

Bella turned to face Edward, taking her hand off his leg.

Edward closed his eyes, shaking his head. "Yes, one of them."

I couldn't help but giggle.

"Who?" Emmett and Jasper asked.

Edward squirmed under the spotlight, "Bryan. Once."

"You had sex?" Bella hissed at him in shock, at the same time Jacob did.

Edward shook his head, "No, we-"

"I didn't have sex with him," Bryan concluded. "We just fooled around."

"Like how?!" Bella asked, her mouth hanging open.

I couldn't figure out if she was still shocked, or a little... upset. Jealous, perhaps?

Edward turned to face her, "Third base."

"For who, you or her?" Bella asked.

"I did it to him." Bryan answered for him.

"Why didn't you tell me?!" Jacob asked, standing to his feet, "That's fucking sick."

"Jacob, it was two years ago! And I didn't sleep with him! Besides, we never shared our pasts before."

"Yeah, because I didn't expect you to say Cullen."

"Where was it?" I asked her, curiosity getting the best of me.

"In... a public place."

"PUBLIC!?" a few people shouted.

Edward covered his face, before leaning into Bella and burying it in her shoulder.

"Yeah... we were in the movie theater."

I felt like I started World War Three, but honestly... I'd been dying to know that answer since they went out on their dates.

Bella shook her head, before whispering something in Edward's ear that I couldn't make out.

Edward pulled away, looking glum. "Are you sure?" he whispered back to her.

Bella nodded.

"You promise?"

She nodded again, before giving him a hug, "It's your past."

He squeezed her tight, pulling her into his lap. He kept his voice low, but I could hear him since I was so close. "It was a long time ago, and it didn't mean anything to me."

"I understand."

"I just want-"

"Shh," she covered his mouth and twisted to kiss his forehead, "it's no big deal."

"...Okay."

"Edward," I said, giving him the bucket, "it's your turn now."

He glared at me, knowing it was my question that he had to answer. I looked away, climbing on Jasper's lap again.

I watched as Edward began to grin, "This is perfect. Bella, tell Alice if you have any problems for her, and Alice, reciprocate."

Bella shook her head and shrugged, "I don't necessarily have a problem with Alice. I just wish she'd let me and you work ourselves out without getting in the way."

I glared at her, not saying anything in response.

"Alice, care to counter?"

"Bella already knows what she done wrong and what I don't approve of. I'm sure we'll work it out, in due time, but-"

"I just don't understand how you can be so hypocritical when you're with my ex, whom you obviously had feelings for before I cheated on him," Bella snapped.

"Well, I didn't act on those fee-"

"Alice," Edward cut me off. "We had that discussion. You did act, even if you didn't do it physically. You agreed with me."

"Fine," I said, crossing my arms, "then that's it. I don't have anything else to say about it."

"Neither do I," Bella replied, crossing her own arms.

Edward handed me the bowl with a grin that read payback's a bitch. I shot him a pointed glance before pulling out a piece of paper.

I bit my lip, looking over to Colleen, "I'm sorry, you can choose to dare if you don't want to answer. I don't know whose question this was, but it wasn't mine. Um... Statistics suggest almost half the people in this world have been abused. Have you ever been physically or sexually violated?"

Colleen shook her head, "No, thankfully. None of those."

"Okay." I handed her the bowl.

"Uh...” she giggled, turning to Emmett, "Have you ever licked someone's ass? Has yours ever been licked? Give names for both situations."

"Didn't he lick Paul's?" Dean said sarcastically, receiving a punch from Paul.

Emmett grinned, ignoring that comment, "I've licked Rosalie's once."

"Ew!" Bella groaned, this time burying her face in Edward's shoulder.

"What?" Rosalie copped, "Don't knock it 'til you try it. It feels wonderful, and I'm clean, so why not?"

"That's so sick, Rosalie," Bella countered.

"Oh, I'm sure you'd let Fuckward over there lick any part of your body if he wanted to."

I nodded in agreement. I knew she would.

"What'd it feel like?" Colleen asked as she climbed to her knees.

"Warm," Rosalie replied, ignoring Bella's gagging noises, "and nice. It's so sensitive back there, you have no idea. As long as you've just showered and are clean, I definitely recommend it."

"Rose," Bella groaned, "please stop it."

Rose turned and tilted her head, "Edward, would you lick Bella's ass?"

Edward grinned and shrugged.

"You didn't say no."

"He'd do it!" Emmett countered, "I know he would. He'd lick any part of that woman."

Edward still had a smirk on his lips, and I shook my head and slapped him on his leg. He was too obvious.

Then I turned back to the culprit of Bella's gag reflex, "Emmett, it's your turn. And it's a dare again."

Emmett groaned and pulled out a piece of paper, "Shave something. Fuck!"

We all began to laugh as he covered his face, "Why do I have to get the stupid ones?"

"Because you pick 'em out. Now, what are you going to shave?"

"Do I have to shave something of mine, or someone else's?"

"Whichever."

He looked at Rosalie, "Do you need to shave your legs or anything?"

She shook her head, "Nope, I'm all smooth."

He groaned again, "Fine... someone get me the electric razor."

I hopped off of the warmth in Jasper's lap, and ran to the bathroom. Within a flash, I was back and handing him the razor. "What are you going to shave?"

"Well, I keep my shit nice and trimmed, and I ain't shaving my head, so..." He pulled up a pant leg and began to shave the hair off his right calf, "This is so messed up. This is gonna suck."

We all giggled as he removed all the hair. Then we made him pull his other pant leg up, and burst out laughing as we compared the two.

"It looks so much skinnier without hair!" Jasper teased him.

"Shut up!" Emmett responded.

EdwardPOV

Alice handed the bowl over to Emmett, and I pulled Bella back to my side and rested my head on her shoulder.

She was so perfect, and she didn't hold that shit between Bryan and I personally.

I loved her more for that.

I glanced over to my friends, noticing Paul massaging Charlee's shoulders, while Dean and Amber were cuddling on the couch. Amber seemed so quiet, and I felt bad that she wasn't involved with the game... but she didn't seem to mind. She had her interests elsewhere -- on my cousin.

"Bella, do you have any piercing or tattoos?"

Bella bit her lip, "Just my ears are pierced."

I grinned, shoving my face in her neck and whispered to her, "are you going to tell them about your tattoo?"

She shook her head quickly.

"Is that it?" Emmett asked.

She nodded quickly.

All I could do was grin at her secret.

He leaned over and handed her the bowl. She pulled one out, and read it, "Make out with a girl, while hovering over the guy of your interest. Wait! You gave me the wrong bowl!"

"You have to do it!" He and Alice shouted at the same time.

"No!"

"Yes! Do it now!"

I bit my lip as she blushed again, "God, help me. Colleen, come here."

"Wow, I'm like a kissing magnet!" Colleen rose to her feet quickly, and something told me that they'd kissed before.

Immediately, I was both turned on and curious. Bella grabbed my legs, pulling me in the middle of the chaise as Colleen climbed to my left. I never felt luckier than this glorious, shining moment.

I threw my hands behind my head, watching them linger over each other, with their chests in my view. They grinned at each other, and it turned me on more.

"Three-way! Three-way! Three-way!" All the guys chanted, causing me to laugh. I wish.

Colleen gripped the back of Bella's neck and pulled her close, while Bella dug my shirt between her fingers. She was doing it on purpose, the fucking tease.

Then, as Colleen went for the kill, Bella turned and looked at me. Then she fucking grinned, her eyes finding mine.

I could only imagine what she was thinking. I winked at her, watching her turn back to Colleen. Then she wasted no time opening that perfect mouth of hers, and I watched as Colleen molded her lips to hers instantly. They both turned to opposite sides as they ran their hands along each other's neck, deepening the kiss.

Within seconds, there was everyone surrounding the chaise, as these two sexy women kept pushing toward each other, their legs pressing into me and their hands every once in a while trailing down to rub my jeans or my stomach. Both of them were now fucking teases.

Bella stuck out her tongue, and before I even had time to gasp, it was being sucked in Colleen's mouth. Then they pushed harder, and I couldn't help but rise on my elbows, wanting more of it. They became sensual again, their lashes fluttering shut as they stroked each other with one hand, and my stomach with another, their lips massaging the other's. All I wanted to do was have everyone else leave, and beg them to start stripping.

Then it was Colleen's turn to stick her tongue in Bella's mouth, and she fucking hummed when she sucked it in. I closed my eyes for a second, regaining my composure. The guys around us were either whooping and hollering, or dead silent, demanding it with their eyes to never stop.

I watched as Colleen's hand released my shirt and trailed up, before molding over Bella's left breast. They pulled apart for a second, giving each other fucking sexy 'fuck me slowly' eyes. Then the grinned and began kissing again, causing all the guys around me to shout. All I could do was grin and bear it, frozen half way beneath them while Bella gripped onto my fucking button of my jeans for dear life. She wasn't helping her whole panty situation, which I was currently wearing -- fucking Christ. There was no way I was stopping that shit though.

"Okay, okay," Alice cut in, causing everyone to growl once Bella pulled away, "we should stop before this turns rated R."

I watched as they licked each other's taste off their lips with smiles.

Then I prayed in my head that they'd do it again, for me, in private, later on... and include me. Maybe on repeat... Forever.

Bella turned to me with a smile, "You're getting a dare."

"Why?" I chuckled."

"Because," she said, nestling down beside me, "I said."

"Oh. Okay," I replied with a laugh.

She pulled one out, crossing her fingers, "YES! Okay, Edward, you and a person from the same sex of your choice must get up on the stripper pole and perform a routine, before turning your attentions on two lucky people from the opposite sex, and give them a lap dance."

I groaned as everyone charged toward the stripper pole, laughing. She pulled me up, biting her lip. I tapped it with my index finger, shaking my head, "I'm getting you back for this one."

"Maybe you will, maybe you won't."

I jerked her to me, causing her to gasp, "Oh yes. I will."

She dragged her teeth across her bottom lip, before popping it back out, "I can't wait."

I allowed them to dim the house lights and add the strobe and black lights, and turn on the music, while I climbed up on the stage, ignoring everyone hollering and whistling at me. "Emmett, get up here."

"Why me?!"

"Because I'm not dancing beside my cousin on a pole, and Paul will like it too much."

Emmett groaned, muttering how he had to shave his leg and lick a man, while he climbed up the steps with me. I just grinned, pointing to Bella, who was sitting in a chair in front of me.

She flipped a button on the remote, and 'Sexyback' by Justin Timberlake came on.

We started laughing as they all began to cheer us on. We began to sway our hips and dance around, and I could feel my face growing hot, but I quickly brushed it off. All I could feel was Bella's tiny underwear smashing everything I had together.

Emmett was first to take the pole, trying to flip his body around it. Of course, he didn't make it, and he fell flat on his back. Then he tried to play if off like he meant to do it, shaking his butt and popping it out as he pulled himself back up. "Try it dude!" he laughed at me.

I shook my head, as the girls cheered me on. "Go get 'em tiger!"

I gripped the pole and tried to spin around, feeling like an idiot. Once I realized I could sort of do it without breaking a rib, I did it again, causing all my friends to laugh harder at me.

"Look at those shiny red underwear!" Jasper shouted.

"Yeah, he's giving your panties a work out!" Dean said.

"In more ways than one, right Bella!" Colleen nudged her.

Emmett and I continued to dance, pulling off our jackets and spinning them over our heads and laughing. Emmett tried to climb up the pole this time, and he wrapped his big legs around it, before bending over and sliding down it. I about fell off the stage from laughing so hard. Then I felt someone grab my jeans, and turned to find Bella and Bryan fucking shoving dollar bills into my sides. I walked away from them, shaking my butt to the beat and giving them a show.

As I tried to grab the pole and make some kind of a gymnastic move that I wasn't capable of, I slipped and slid down it. The guys were about to die laughing at me. Then I squatted and held onto the pole, shaking my butt around toward the girls. Emmett began to smack my ass, while he teased his nipple through his shirt.

"Come get it girls!" He shouted, causing me to about choke from laughing.

Then I tried to do a handstand and show off, but I was laughing so hard that all the girls really got out of that was a four second stomach bare, before I fell on my head. I laid on the stage for a moment, dying from both pain and laughter. Then I decided to play it off by doing little pelvic thrusts toward the air and spinning around.

The girls began to holler at that, so I decided to work that angle, rubbing my stomach.

After that, I climbed back up to my feet, and pulled off my t-shirt and threw it at Bella.

Bella and Colleen jumped on their feet, clapping their hands and throwing wads of cash at me.

Emmett tried to do another upside down spin on the pole, because he couldn't seem to get it through his head that he was too big for his own body. Again, he slid down it awkwardly, but at least he didn't fall on his back this time around.

Once he climbed back to his feet, we began to do thrusts toward the girls in rhythm to the beat. Then he did it toward the steps up to the stage. Then the actual stage. Then it was Rosalie's leg.

I decided to work my hips and grind down to the ground, doing my best booty shakes and hip thrusts as I lowered it to the ground. I honestly didn't think I was half bad at this. Maybe I should take up stripping as a career choice instead!

We walked toward the girls and started shaking our butts over their laps. I felt multiple hands smacking my ass, and I turned to notice a whole lot of people were smacking Emmett's too, as he straddled Rosalie's lap. I grinned as I turned to face Bella. She slouched down, motioning for me to come on with her hands. She wanted it too bad. So did I, dammit. Okay, well not the stripping part, but her... most definitely.

I began to sway my hips around, trying not to die from embarrassment. I felt someone push me toward her, and had to grip the back of the chair to keep from falling on her. She grabbed the sides of my jeans, jerking me against her. I straddled the chair, hovering over her.

Then, keeping my eye contact, I began to do circled motions against her stomach, and chest, and lap, and anything else I could get to. She bit her lip as I became more sexual with her. And it just spurred me on more.

I watched Paul tilt her chair back a bit, to where she was sitting on the back two legs. I grinned at her and walked forward, before swaying my hips over her chest and face.

All she could do was blush, and giggle, and rub my jeans as I worked.

The beat began to take over as the lyrics died down, but everyone around us got closer.

I twisted back around, and bent over to put my hands on the ground. Then I straddled her backward, making mores sexual motions as my crotch bounced on her lap.

I thought she and Colleen were going to lose it; they were laughing and screaming so hard.

Then I pushed myself up, and danced with my shirt-less back rubbing up against her breasts, and she kept running her hands all along my chest and abs.

Once the music finally came to an end, I was climbed off her lap, laughing as I noticed Emmett was now in his boxers with his jeans on Rosalie's head. He was too funny.

I begged Alice to let me take these underwear off, because at this point, they were down-right disturbing on my skin. She finally let me.

Once Bella and I returned back into the room, with my shirt back on and the both of us commando now, we all nestled back in. I pulled out a piece of paper, "Okay... Alice, describe the most recent embarrassing and awkward moment you've had."

Then I burst out laughing when I realized I already knew the answer.

"Edward, that's not fair! You didn't have to pick me!"

"It didn't dawn on me until after, I promise!"

"Whatever!" she pouted, crossing her arms.

"I swear it, Alice!"

"Yeah, yeah."

"What is it?" Rosalie asked.

Jasper's face was red too, making me laugh harder.

"Fine, I'll say it," Alice said, putting her hands on her hips and trying to sit tall. "I was taking a bath, in my own private time. I sort of... decided... to ...I don't know, relieve some... tension."

Everyone began to laugh as I covered my mouth to keep mine as silent as possible, since she could deck me at any moment.

"Long story short, I let the fantasy of someone get the best of me, and I began to shout their name and stuff during my... alone time."

Then we began to laugh louder.

"And while I was doing it... the person whom I was moaning their name happened to walk into the room, and catch me."

Jasper was biting his knuckles while Emmett covered his face from laughing so hard. "What did you do?"

"I freaked out and covered myself up. I didn't know what to say to him."

"Who was it?! Was it here?" Jacob prodded.

Alice closed her eyes and nodded.

"JASPER!" Most of the room shouted, and both Alice and Jasper covered their faces.

Bella's mouth about hit the ground, "When was this?"

"The day before New Year's," I replied silently in her ear.

"Where?"

"In our shared bathtub."

"Ew! Oh my God!" Bella covered her mouth, and as she giggled, I watched her expression change.

Then she dropped her hands, looking at Jasper. "But... we were together then."

"Yeah," Jasper chuckled, "it was an accident. An in and out thing."

"I'm sure it was!" Emmett roared.

Alice pulled out a paper, attempting to change the subject, "Bella, if you could relive one day, what would you do differently?"

Bella pressed her finger to her cheek, thinking for a second, "Can I say two of them?"

We all nodded.

"Okay, the first one... would be the day that I let Jake kiss me, when Edward walked in. I would have never allowed it to happen, and Edward and I..." she turned to face me, her eyes burning into mine as she frowned, "...would have never broken up. None of the stuff with Tanya would have happened... and we'd be together right now."

"How are you so sure?" Jacob scoffed.

"Yeah?" Rosalie chimed in.

Leave it to those two, I swear.

"It's a feeling I have," Bella explained. "I can see how easy it was for us two to reconnect... That spark that never left. It gives me hope, and makes me wonder how we couldn't have worked, when the spark is still here all these years later..."

I smiled at her, rubbing her back.

"And the second would be the day my Dad got shot. I would have told him to never go to work that day, to just stay home with me."

I gave her a hug, pulling her under my arm. "I love you," I whispered to where only she could hear.

She patted my leg, "I love you more."

I grinned against the side of her head, before giving it a slight kiss.

"Edward, what is your best day ever?"

"Any day I get to spend with you."

"No, I'm serious!" Bella said, squeezing my knee.

"Okay, okay... I'd say the... Let me sign moment with you and I here... that was a wonderful day."

Everyone went "Huh?" while she turned and grinned at me. "It was, wasn't it?"

"Yep. I was looking for that damn thing everywhere. I was so glad you had it."

Bella grinned at me, before rubbing her face against my chest and squeezing my hand. "Alright..." she pulled out a piece of paper with her free hand, "Jake, do you have unresolved feelings for me?" She scoffed, shaking her head, "Oh dear God, this is so overplayed."

Jacob laughed, scratching his head, "None at all. I just wish you'd have better choice in men. Well, in fact, I wish you'd choose a man in the first place. Not that bitch."

I turned and glared at him, half tempted to pull Bella down and make love to her in front of him. It's a good thing I'm not a dick like that.

Instead, I chose to not say anything, because I wasn't in the mood to fight with him.

"Jacob, Edward is more than a man than most people I know," Bella attempted to defend me, "and I love him, so you're going to have to deal with it. Like I told you before."

"You two aren't even together. He just wants to fuck you, Bella. Why can't you see that?"

"He already had sex with me, Jacob! Everyone knows that! But guess what, he's still here."

"Yeah, until you aren't a chase for him anymore. Then he'll go back to ignoring you and fucking blondes."

"BLACK!" I shouted, not even recognizing the harshness in my own voice, as everyone became silent. "THAT'S ENOUGH."

Jacob scoffed, shaking his head. This time though, he kept quiet.

It was a wise decision.

"Your turn, Jacob," Bella sneered at him, tossing the bowl toward him.

Jacob jerked it out and glared at Rosalie, "If you could spend eternity with one person, who would it be and why?"

"Emmett, of course," she replied, as Emmett leaned down and kissed the top of her head. "But if not him... Then maybe Justin Timberlake, or George Clooney?"

"Figures," Emmett remarked.

Rosalie pulled out the next question, "Alice... what is something you're afraid to do sexually that most people aren't, and why?"

Alice bit her lip and closed her eyes, "How did I know I was going to get this question?"

I furrowed my brows, watching her cover her face.

"Argh, okay... Um... I'm sort of... afraid to let anyone... do that..."

"Do what?" Most of us asked in unison.

"You know... what a guy does to a girl..."

"Fuck her?" Emmett copped off.

"Finger her?" Paul suggested.

"Put it in her ass?" Dean said, receiving a slap on the side of his head from Charlee.

"Pass her to his friends?" Makin suggested sarcastically, causing the guys to laugh.

Alice kept shaking her head, growing more embarrassed.

"Oral sex?" I piped up.

She nodded, keeping her eyes closed. Everyone began to freak out. The girls shouted "NO WAY!", while the guys shouted, "Why the hell not?!"

I just sat still, feeling dumbfounded. I almost did that to her, the night in her room we about hooked up... and then I remembered, she pulled me away from her, and said not yet. She was scared. Holy shit, I had no idea.

"Why?" Jasper asked, twisting her around on his lap so he could look at her.

"Yeah, it feels good!" Bryan shouted. Rosalie slapped her hand, agreeing with her.

"I don't know, it's just so... personal, and vulgar. I mean, yeah, I've thought about it and wondered if it'd feel that good... but I'm just too scared."

"Alice, Alice," Emmett said, motioning for everyone to calm down, "wait, seriously. No joke, serious question. Are you worried about how a guy will... act down there?"

She shrugged.

"Or what he'll think of you?" I asked.

She shrugged again, slightly nodding. She looked so embarrassed. Poor girl.

"Alice, you have nothing to worry about," I said, trying to calm her fears, "trust me. You should let it happen."

"I can't!" she whined, covering her face again, "I'm so... I don't know. I don't go spending all day inspecting vaginas, I don't know how mine compares to other girls, or if guys will laugh at me or make fun of me, or whatever the case may be. It's just too personal."

"You'll love it," Bella chimed in, "trust me..."

I think half the guys turned their direction to her, including me. No one expected her to pipe in on this subject, Miss Shy and Adorably Bashful. She was so hot!

"Bella! I thought you'd never let a guy do that either!" Rosalie said.

Bella half-covered her face in my shoulder, "Yeah well... it did."

"With who?"

Suddenly, my entire face turned into one fucking shit-eating grin. This just kept getting better and better!

I leaned over, whispering in her ear, "I was the first?"

"Mmhmm," she nodded, covering her face that was still visible to her friends.

"Last week ...when we..."

"Mmhmm."

"Why didn't you tell me?" I asked, as my friends began to give me thumbs up sides where she couldn't see and casual smirks, "I would have made it worth your while."

"You did, are you kidding me, Edward?! You did it forever... Every single second of it was worth my while."

"Yeah, but I could have done it better! I had no idea I was the first though. I would have spent the entire fucking night down there, had I know that."

"Edward!" she giggled, shaking her face against my sleeve, "You're making my face burn up."

"No, I'm serious!" I said, trying to keep my voice as low as possible, "I'm not playing, Bella. I loved doing it, every second of it. I wanted to name my own little private food group after you, that way I could one day tell you that it would be essential for me to do it every day or so."

"Edward, stopppp it."

I felt my entire face light up with my fucking grin. That revelation on Bella's part just made my night.

She giggled, pushing her face to me. "Alice," she said, "Just relax. You'll like it."

"...I don't know," Alice shrugged, wrapping Jasper's arms around her as invisible shields, "I'd be too nervous."

"Jasper will do it, won't you Jazz?" Jacob said with a chuckle.

All Jasper did was grin like a gentleman, and nod.

"Okay... last dare of the night," Alice pulled out a piece of paper. "Oh my God! Okay... Rosalie, you have to make-out with... Edward."

I think my heart just sunk and my food came up.

"I DON'T FUCKING THINK SO!" the both of us shouted in unison.

"You have to! It was the rules."

I seriously felt the bile rising in my throat, "I'll get herpes."

"Fuck you, dick weed. I don't have herpes. You're the one with the STD, I'm sure!"

"I'm not the one who fucks anyone who would pay a lick of attention to me."

"Bullshit, Edward! You've banged or made out with half of all the females I know!"

"What the fuck ever, Rosalie! You're the one who fucked Charlie Bruis-"

"JUST DO IT!" Alice shouted at us. "Do it and be done with it."

I glared at her as she crawled toward me. "Don't even think about it."

"Just get over here, Assward. The quicker you do it, the quicker I can spray some antibacterial on me."

"You'll bite my fucking tongue off, I don't fucking think so."

She grabbed me by my shirt, jerking me off the couch.

Immediately, I felt more disgusted with the situation. "I really don't want to fucking do this."

"What are you afraid you'll like it too much?" Rosalie snapped at me with a grin.

"No, I'm afraid I'll vomit in your mouth."

"Whatever."

I took a few deep breaths, grimacing as I inched closer to her. Kill me now, kill me now, kill me now.

She slapped me hard on my chest with her full palm, "Fuck you, I'm not that repulsive!"

I smirked, shaking my head, "You're right. You're worse."

"Stop bickering and make out!" Alice hissed at us.

I growled at my former best friend who thought of this repulsive dare, then glared at Rosalie.

She pulled me to her as we both exhaled exasperatedly.

"Let's just get this over with," I sneered at her.

"Fine."

"Fine."

"Shut up." She jerked me to her, crushing her lips against mine. I felt myself grow queasy, not really allowing myself to enjoy it.

"At least make an effort guys," Makin and Colleen said.

"Yeah!" Paul and Charlee agreed.

Fucking pricks.

I started to feel Rosalie's mouth moving on mine at that moment, and I realized she was actually making an effort. Then I thought to myself, She's going to think you're a fucking lousy kisser if you don't do this shit right, and she'll never let you live that down.

With that, I said my grace with God, and tilted my head, parting her lips slowly with mine.

I very delicately ran my bottom lip along hers, before gently licking it. I could hear her sigh, but it was so quiet, I barely recognized it, and knew no one else would. I closed my eyes tighter, and pulled her bottom lip in my mouth, sucking on it the way I knew she'd want it if Emmett were kissing her. I could feel her breathing hitch as I released it.

Then she pushed her mouth up against mine harder, and I brought my tongue out the same second she did, and we licked lightly between or sensual kisses. To make her gasp like I knew she would, I gently sucked her warm tongue into my mouth, gripping her arms and jerking her to me. She -- involuntarily, I'm sure -- gripped my arms, as her kiss became stronger, more demanding. I engorged in her, giving exactly what I knew she wanted, by her body reactions. I could tell when she wanted a sensual part, and when she wanted an eager part.

I kissed her and kissed her more, sucking and licking and caressing and nibbling, ignoring everyone's chants and hollers and heavy breathing, until I knew she couldn't fucking see straight. Then I slowly pulled back, placing a chaste kiss on her lips again, and then grinned as I watched her lashes linger closed.

She fucking loved it. Score.

She slowly blinked her eyes open, and shut her mouth instantly, when she realized I had caught her enjoying me.

"Did you like that?" I asked quietly, over the cheers of our audience.

She shrugged, blinking a few more times as she tried to maintain her bitchy composure once more.

"Good," I replied cockily as I leaned closer to her and whispered in her ear, "because I'm sure you can taste a sweet, private part of your delicious sister on my tongue. Thanks for sucking that off for me."

I felt her slug my shoulder and call me an arrogant dick, but it was worth it. I fucking won.

As I climbed back to my feet, Bella got off the couch, winding her fingers between mine, "That was the most disturbing thing I'd ever seen in my life."

I smirked at her, pulling her to my side, "That's what you get for making out with Colleen and not letting me join."

"You didn't ask to join."

"You wouldn't have let me."

"Why wouldn't I?" she replied, teasingly.

"Bella, if I wanted to be toyed with, I'd go to Toys-R-Us."

"I'm not playing with you, Edward." She turned to stand in front of me, while everyone began to go their separate ways. "I'd do anything you wanted me to do."

I gripped her hips, pressing her up against me, "Thanks love."

"I mean it."

"I know," I whispered, leaning down and kissing her forehead, "but all I want is you. No one else."

"I was hoping you'd say that," she exhaled, dipping her hands beneath my shirt.

"I'm not tired yet, are you?" I asked her.

"Nope."

"Do you... maybe want to go for a midnight swim with me?"

She grinned, rising on her toes to wrap her arms around my neck, "Of course."

I kissed her cheek a few times, and then the corner of her mouth.

This could get really bad for the whole friends vibe...

But it was too late now. The images of Bella in a barely-there bikini taunted my brain.

There was no way I was turning back now.

----AUTHOR'S NOTES----

So there we go, Chapter 14!

-- Again, thanks for all the TOD questions/dares, and I swear guys, I will use more later!!! ;)
Special shout out to CULLENBABE86 for that wonderful PM with ideas. I owe you one!

-- I know some people may be shocked that Jasper let Bella have it in the beginning. But the way I saw it, he had a few days to let it sink in now.
He may have bowed out gracefully, but I do believe that it takes awhile for something that harsh to sink in, and then, regardless of what you once said,
...you're gonna end up a little bitter. No worries though. Things are slowly easing their way on track again.

Reviews are better than Edward dancing to SEXYBACK! :D
