Bella MacLeod's Twilight Fanfiction

Spy Games

By BetterInTexas

Chapter 11:

What a shit storm this day has turned out to be. Okay, it wasn’t bad. Jack calmed down enough to stay out of my ear most of the day but Edward was up my ass most of the day. Every time I turned around between classes he was there. During gym he sat next to me, talking the entire me about shit nobody would care about. What the fuck did I care about the symbolism of the knocking at the door in Macbeth? Had he ever considered Shakespeare may have not meant for there to be any symbolism? Maybe he just thought it would be cool so he put it in there, not knowing hundreds of years later academics would be writing papers on a stupid play.

Thankfully Sasha was there to walk me through that one. In biology he kept asking me to go to his fucking meadow. I made excuse after excuse not to go. He wouldn’t take no for an answer until Arial came to my rescue with a brilliant plan. I took her advice and explained to Edward that I was about to start my monthly cycle and was concerned about my ‘scent’ bothering him.

He agreed and dropped the subject quickly.

Now I had a guest for dinner.

An unwanted smart ass guest.

Charlie brought home his new coworker.

Jason fucking Connolly.

Seeing him up close I could tell he was every bit an alpha male and every bit a prick. He quickly proved this to be true.

“Wow this pasta tastes great Bella.”

“Thank you, Jason.”

“When did you have the time to make this?”

“Bella is very organized. She cooks several meals on Sunday while I am out fishing usually and freezes them for the week so she can concentrate on her studies.” Charlie explained with a bit of pride.

“It tastes just like a dish an old friend of mine used to make. He is a hell of a cook. So what sort of spices did you use in the sauce?”

Spices?

Charlie was looking at me now as well.

Shit, he expected an answer.

“Secret family recipe. I’m afraid if I told you I would have to kill you.” Gladly.

Charlie chuckled a bit.

“Good luck with that.” Jason said, smirking.

I hated him. At this point I would have rather had Gavin here. Even Hawk, God help me.

“So Jason what made you join the Federal Fish and Games Department?” Charlie asked.

Yeah Jason, why don’t you tell us?

“Funny story, I had just gotten out of the military and an old friend called me. He explained that his very young niece had been hiking in some territories that were known to have animal attacks. Pretty vicious animal attacks, kinda like the ones you are dealing with Charlie. Anyway, he asked me to look after her, so I started following her on her hikes. Of course soon enough she ran into some pretty big bears, dangerous as hell. Being stupid, she thought she could take them on instead of running like she should have. I saved her of course, it’s kind of my thing, and I found I liked the work. I joined up and have been at it ever since.”

“Well thankfully that girl had you looking out for her.” Charlie said.

“Maybe if you had stepped back that little girl could have handled herself and wouldn’t have needed a man to rescue her.” I mentioned, meeting his eyes.

“Yeah, well I got a feeling her uncle didn’t realize just how far over her head she was. I would say she was more stupid than brave.”

“Maybe you should go fu…”

“So what branch of the military were you in Jason?” Charlie asked, cutting off my advice before I could deliver it.

“I was in the Navy.”

“So you were a soldier?” I asked sweetly.

Jack hated when he was called a soldier. I’m a Seal, blah, blah, blah.

“I was a Seal actually.”

“Like the cute little mammals with the flippers?”

“No, like in special ops.”

“That’s very impressive Jason.” Charlie said, with stars in his eyes.

“What did you do that was so special?”

“Bella!”

“What Dad? I just want to know. I don’t know anything about the life of soldiers. I’m curious.”

“I conducted missions behind enemy lines that were considered very dangerous.” Jason said, practically holding back a growl.

“How manly of you.”

Bitch.

“Thankfully you won’t ever have to know about that danger Bella.”

“Why is that, Jason?”

“Women aren’t allowed in combat roles in the military.” he said grinning.

I was going to kill this bitch. This is who Jack sends to watch my father? An arrogant little dick like him.

“Bella would you calm down?”

Go fuck yourself Jack.

“Bella wouldn’t be enlisting anyway. She has problems with balance, right baby?”

Try to take me one on one dad and I will show you balance when your ass hits the floor.

“Jason you need to get out of there. I think Cullen is coming that way. He is in his car anyway.” Jack informed us. I hadn’t realized Connolly was on the same frequency I was.

“Charlie this has been a pleasure but I really need to go. Reports to file and such.”

“Oh that’s a shame, Jason. But I guess if you have to go you have to go.” I said sadly, jumping for joy inside. Damn I wanted to kick his ass.

“Maybe we could do this again Jason, since you will be here for a while until we can get these attacks taken care of.” Charlie offered, while I stifled a growl.

“That would be great Charlie. I would love to come one weekend and watch Bella work her magic in the kitchen.”

Gun accidents are a tragedy but regrettably they do happen. Fact of life he was about to find out.

I went to the bedroom and started the shower in case Eddie decided to risk my life by dropping in on me when I was on my fake period.

“I want to speak to Arial.”

“Bella, I realize he can come across a little rough but…”

“I want to speak to Arial now Jack.”

He sighed but I heard my besties voice after a few seconds.

“Hi Bells.”

“Did you know he was coming?”

“Of course. He has been staying here with the rest of the team. Isn’t he gorgeous?”

Oh God, I wanted to vomit. It had been a recurring theme lately. Forks has given me involuntary bulimia on top of the therapy I would need for the rest of my life due to being kissed by a walking talking corpse with a penis. If it was Rosalie, I could look past the whole I’m dead thing.

“You can’t seriously think he is attractive Arial.”

“Please, even a raging lesbian like yourself has to admit he has a certain appeal.”

“He would be more appealing with a bullet hole in his head. How can you think he is hot? He is an arrogant dick!”

“You should see him with a cowboy hat on.” she sighed.

“Arial…”

“He has the prettiest eyes, and his body, you should see him work out Bella. His abs are to die for.”

“Arial…”

“You should be nicer to him. He is trying to keep Charlie safe and he is worried about you. He thinks we should pull you out and so do I. These people are freaky and you are risking your cover being blown everyday by this Jasper guy.”

“I have a job to do. What would you do?”

Silence.

“Yeah that’s what I thought. Its’ worth the risk. You will understand when we are partying our asses off at the college of our choice cruising around in a Corvette. This is important to our future sex lives no matter how poor your choices in that regard are.”

“Whatever Bella. We aren’t going to have a future if you get killed.”

“Then you can run off with Connolly and reproduce more pigs like him. I’m going to take a shower; can you ask Sasha to listen in?”

“No Bella.”

Fuck it. It was worth a try.

Edward never did visit that night. At least he didn’t let me know. Jack told me before I went to bed that his car was back at the mansion but he didn’t exactly need that.

The next morning he was waiting for me in the drive. Ughh.

He drove me to school with that dopey grin on his face while I stared out the window and considered what I wanted for lunch today.

Handing my lunch order to Edward he stopped me before I could exit the minivan.

“Bella, Alice would like you to sit with the family today. Would you be okay with that?”

“Of course Edward.” I mean why not, I already walked into a den of Bambi killers. Sitting around and being stared at again while I ate couldn’t be much worse.

“Oh, I wanted to ask you something Edward, if it wouldn’t be a problem?”

“Of course Bella.”

“Yesterday, my apple was a bit warm, at least room temperature anyway. Could you select one from the bottom, closer to the ice? I like them cool and crisp, not luke arm and soft.”

“I am so sorry Bella. I will make sure any fruit is the correct temperature. Do you need any medication today?”

Say what?

“Medication for what Edward?”

“For your condition? I realize cramping cannot be pleasant. Fortunately your scent is absolutely no stronger than before so I can spend the night with you. Carlisle mentioned Midol?”

Fuck.

“I’m good Edward. Let’s get to class.”

At lunch I sat with the Cullen collective drawing stares once again. It was one thing to draw the attention of Edward Cullen but to be allowed to sit at the cult table was another history making even in Fork’s High school history.

“Bella, we have to go shopping this weekend! How about Saturday?” Alice asked.

Fuck. Of course if I played hard to get but let her have her way eventually I could defintely start dressing better. Jack couldn’t be angry about that. Based on Alice’s clothes she appeared to have somewhat of any eye.

Plus I could probably see her naked in a dressing room.

I chanced a quick glance at Jasper whose face remained stony as usual.

“Yeah I guess.”

“That is so great! Maybe we could have a sleep over some time? We could watch movies and do our nails and makeovers and anything else girls do at sleepovers.”

Sleepover?

I don’t sleep over at my girlfriends’ houses after sex. Most of them were cuddlers and I preferred my space. Plus I hated anyone’s morning breath in my face when I woke up.

I bet Angela would be a cuddler. Ugh, I may have to rethink that whole mission. She would probably want me to tell her I loved her. She had stage 4 clinger written all over her.

Yeah Jack is right. I probably should stay away from that one.

But I could be so good for her… and so bad.

Focus Bella.

“I’m not sure about how Charlie would feel about that Alice. He can be kind of strict.”

Or he would if he paid any attention to the world around him.

“I would bet I can talk him into it.”

Fuck she just spaced out.

“Yes he would definitely be fine with it. I can be quite charming.” she told me and winked.

I bet she could. Her face would look so cute between my legs.

Jasper just cleared his throat.

I looked at Edward who seemed upset.

“Jasper if you could excuse yourself, I would be grateful.” Edward told him. I looked at him in confusion as Jasper left.

“He is hungry. His thoughts immediately turned to feeding. He needs to hunt.” Edward explained.

Oh, okay. Sounds to me like Mr. Hale wouldn’t mind seeing his wife’s face between my legs either. Too bad for him I don’t perform for audiences.

“I was hoping I could meet your father this weekend Bella.”

Oh yeah.

“Sounds good. How about Saturday before I go shopping with Alice?”

Maybe he wouldn’t have time to try and kiss me again.

“That is a great idea Bella. We could go to my home and you and Alice can leave from there. I know Esme and Carlisle would love to see you.”

“Great…”

“So what shall we do Friday night?”

What the fuck? Does this idiot think when couples date they spend every waking moment with each other?

“I actually have plans Friday night.” I told him, screaming with glee inside at the crushed look on his face.

“I see. May I ask what they are?”

That is a good question.

“I’m going to La Push.” Arial and I needed a break.

That brought silence to the table.

“What? I realize you guys can’t go to La Push because of your treaty or whatever but it’s not like there are any werewolves around. That was a long time ago… right?”

No one said anything for a few moments.

“Of course there is nothing to be afraid of Bella. I just don’t like you being somewhere I cannot protect you.”

Protect me? Fucking protect me!? Is his name Edward Connolly?

“Calm down, Bella.” Jack told me.

“Edward, I have spent 17 years without your protection. I think I will be fine for one night.”

“Of course love.”

God, I hated when he called me that. Maybe I should start calling him pookie?

“Good. Rosalie how is your fake lunch?”

Oh there is that glare of hatred I love so much. C’mon you sexy bitch, take me now. I fucking dare you.

“I’m leaving.” she settled for. I should follow. No, let her stew.

After lunch I had a bit of surprise waiting for me in my locker.

A letter folded up on top of my biology book. I had never seen his handwriting but I didn’t need to recognize it to know who would leave this.

‘Bella,

Here is what I can’t understand. I think you were sent here because your relationship with your father would give you an excuse to appear without suspicion. What I don’t get is how whoever sent you knew your mind couldn’t be read? That can’t be a coincidence. How would anyone know that or about mind readers in general? You were defintely sent here to spy on us but by who and why? Do you know a mind reader Bella? Do you work for the Volturi? I doubt it, you aren’t their style but I’m not going to dismiss it. I’m getting closer.’

PS

Judging by your scent and emotions could you please stop thinking of molesting my wife while I am there? You nearly caught me by surprise and I really don’t think either of us would want Eddie reading my thoughts, do we?

Major Whitlock

Perv.

Major Whitlock? Who the fuck was that?

Who were the Volturi?

I bent my head as close to my locker as possible and whispered.

“Jack you need to see if you can find out anything about a Volturi. Hale is considering the possibility I am spying for them. They must be vampires, maybe a rival coven.”

“On it. Sasha just said they may have something to do with the Volterra village in Italy.”

Italy?

“Hey Jack, didn’t Eddie tell us that Carlisle spent some time in Italy with vampires?”

“Yep. See if you can get any more information about them.”

“Cool. Also this is going to sound weird but try to dig up any information on a Major Jasper Whitlock. Something tells me he hasn’t been in the military for a long time.”

“Whitlock?”

“He signed his note Major Whitlock.”

“Vivian you get that? Great, we will let you know when we find something Bella. Stay low.”

Eddie was back at my house that night waiting in my room while I ate and visited with my observant police chief father who had no idea a boy practically lived full time in my room. Thankfully Eddie didn’t try to touch me on my bed after I explained my thoughts on it being disrespectful to my father and he certainly hadn’t tried to kiss me either.

He did help me sleep though. His voice was sort of like a PBS documentary you turn to for background noise. Very quiet and smooth dialogue saying nothing of any interest that would keep you up. Only once did his voice not put me to sleep, and I had to ask him to please refrain from speaking so I could listen to his lullaby crap. That damn thing was guaranteed to make you forget you were sleeping next to a corpse and fall off into dreamland.

Despite my best efforts I learned nothing of vampires outside of Eddie. He refused to even speak of the ones in the area who were killing people left and right. Charlie and Connolly had gone to investigate another animal attack scene twenty miles from here last night. He certainly would not tell me anymore about the Italians, but I knew without a doubt that he was afraid of them.

Finally Friday arrived.

Edward begged me not to go to La Push.

“Alice has not received any visions of you in La Push. She has been receiving quite a few visions of you lately Bella. They seem to increase the closer the other vampires come to town. But she sees nothing of you in La Push. Please stay here so I can protect you.”

“Edward, I appreciate your worry, I do. But I already made a promise to a friend, and I would hate to break that promise.”

“What friend?”

“His name is John. He is the son of Billy Black, Charlie’s best friend? The guy in the wheelchair?”

“You are going to see another male, Bella?”

“No, I am going to help the son of a friend of my fathers. He is quite a bit younger than I am and has been having difficulty with his math work. I told Dad I would help him with his work while Dad visits Billy. Relax Edward. Jealousy is unbecoming and you have nothing to be jealous of. I’m the one who is ordinary and you are so perfect. I should be the jealous one.”

I practiced saying that in the shower over and over. As long as I pretend it is Sasha, I am speaking to I can pull it off.

“Bella you have nothing to be jealous of! I love you. I will love you forever.”

Uh…

Forever?

Jasper’s words came back to me.

“Edward you can’t say that. We haven’t been dating that long.”

“Bella… love is different for vampires. When one of us falls in love that is it. The object of our affection becomes our whole world. There is no other. I will never leave you Bella.”

Never?

This fucker had to die. He really wasn’t a bad guy once you got past the pompous behavior, the self-obsession, the ironic inferiority complex, the depression, the classical music fetish, poor tastes in automobiles and the controlling tendencies, plus the…

Okay he was a pretty bad guy. He had to die.

I rolled up into La Push wondering what excuse I would give Eddie when I am sure he discovered Charlie was not going to Billy’s. I’ll just plead confusion. He believes anything. The idiot couldn’t tell I wasn’t on my period. I was a bit nervous about when I was actually due next week. Have to think on that one a bit.

Pulling into the First Beach parking lot I saw my partner in crime, sitting in a black sedan… being driven by Hawk.

Fuck no!

“Jack you said we would have privacy! Remember?”

“I said I wouldn’t have Hawk up your asses. He is still going to be there. He is her bodyguard Bella. There are killers around in case you didn’t remember who I doubt would give a damn about some ancient treaty.”

“And what the fuck do you think he is going to do if we see vampires? Have you figured out a way to kill them?”

“No, we have nothing to study. But if vampires show up, Hawk would cut himself and attack them to give you and Arial time to run.”

Damn.

“Hawk would do that?”

“He has been her bodyguard since she was 12. He loves her and yeah, he would die for her. He’d die for you as well. I realize you see him as the pain in the ass you have to sneak around to get into trouble with Arial but she loves him and he loves her. He loves you believe it or not.”

“Jack, he hates me.”

“He respects you. He likes your balls, told me so himself. He won’t bother the two of you. Walk the beach, get drunk with the bottle Arial thinks I didn’t notice that she took, do whatever, just stay safe and he will stay in the car. Promise.”

Fine.

I walked over and Arial rushed out of the car into my arms.

“I still want to cry every time I see you like this. I can’t believe how Dad is making you dress.”

“It will be okay. We will get past this and move on.”

“I hope so. Dad better figure out a way to kill these fuckers or you are going to have a fairy stalker for the rest of our lives.”

I looked at Hawk who had rolled down the window.

“Stay.” I told him.

“Nice to see you too, Swan.”

“Stayyyy…” I told him again. This worked on a Doberman once who was loose in the neighborhood. You have to show them you aren’t scared and they have to obey.

“Get out of here. Arial hit the panic button on your phone if vampires attack the bait and I will come to get you. Don’t go far from the beach please. I have been instructed to stay in the car but I will not take a chance with her safety. Got it Swan?”

“Sounds like somebody hasn’t had his steroids today. Relax big dog. We will be fine.”

“Bye Dan.” Arial told him and walked over to hug him through the window. He handed her a backpack which I’m assuming had her gun and a bottle of Jim Beam in it.

Once we were away, I took out my earbuds and hooked up to my I Phone. Placing one bud in my Jack ear, I was ready to roll. I could barely hear him complaining over the music. It was nice.

“You packing?”

“Yeah, lot of good it would do us.” I said sadly. I hated that there were things in this world I couldn’t kill with a gun. The thought was depressing.

“True, but I just had my nails done and if we are assaulted by locals, I plan to shoot them. I am not fucking up these nails. It took Sasha and I all day in Port Angeles to find a decent salon.”

“You know what I would do to be able to visit a salon right now?” I asked, irritated.

“Sorry. So what do you want to do?”

“It’s not raining. Let’s head into the little residential area and see if there is anything worth a damn there.”

I was pretty sick of the beach. The ocean tempted me and the overcast cloud and miserable weather mocked me.

We walked for a while, discovering there was no police station, there were only a grocery store, diner and medical clinic as far as business, along with a couple gift shops, and not much else. A lot of small wooden house littered the residential section of the reservation. I briefly considered hiking but Arial really wasn’t dressed for it.

Then she saw him.

“Lookie, lookie.”

“What about him?”

“Of course you wouldn’t notice. For us in the heterosexual world he is called a prime specimen.”

He had a certain appeal. Dark short hair, slightly muscular and about six foot tall, cocky grin on his face, dressed in a soaked white t shirt and jeans over black boots. He was leaned up against the side of the diner looking at us.

“So what is your plan? Impress him with your vast sexual knowledge?”

“I may not have your experience ho, but I know what I’m doing. Cover my six and watch me work.”

So I followed Arial prepared to watch her fall on her face as she tried to seduce this guy.

“Hey there you two. Name is Paul. You girls don’t look like you belong here.”

I was about to tell him where he belonged before Arial beat me to the punch.

“Shut up. Are you single?”

Paul seemed a bit surprised.

“Uh… yeah. I’m not really a relationship kind of guy.”

“Perfect. You live alone?”

“No… but my Dad is away a lot. He is a logger and is gone for a while, my house is the brown roofed one across the street three houses over. So I guess…”

Looks like lover boy was caught for a loop. I admit I was impressed with Arial.

“You have condoms?”

“Uh… yeah.”

“Well I have a body to die for that hasn’t been taken care of in a long time. Lead the way to your place.”

The look of shock on Paul’s face would have been funny if I hadn’t had the same look of shock on mine. Meaning of course my face didn’t change but the muscles strained from wanting to.

“Bella I’ll be back in fifteen. If I’m not, come get me and kill the bastard.”

Arial took another look at Paul.

“Better make it thirty.”

Well.

Little sister has grown up a bit. She must be really bored. Hope he isn’t too big. She has only had sex once and it was a while ago. In a house as crowded as her’s is I would bet she doesn’t get a lot of alone time either.

So what to do?

“Bella you can take the bud out of your ear. Please take the bud out of your ear.”

I did as I was instructed. That was one voice I never turned down.

“Hey Sasha.”

“Jack isn’t listening. I have the ear com and I hid the others. If Jack needs me, he can call my cell. I’m the only one in your ear today.”

“What about asshole?”

“Which asshole Bella?”

“My dinner guest? He heard Jack the other night.”

“He has a removable com.”

“I thought they didn’t have those. Why the hell does he get to remove his and I don’t?”

“Because he isn’t as close to vampires as you so it doesn’t have to be as quiet. Also because Jack knew you would take yours out whenever you thought of doing something incredibly stupid…”

“I prefer incredibly brave.”

“Incredibly stupid. Regardless Jack isn’t listening and I will give you privacy. Hawk is in the car. I will do my best to ignore what I just saw.”

Oh shit.

“You saw… Arial.”

“Yes and if Jack finds out he is going to be angry and force me to kill him. Please tell me she plans to use condoms before I put three rounds through his door.”

“Yes she is and where are you?”

“You’ll never see me Bella. Relax and have fun. I’m around but I won’t interfere. Just make sure both of you aren’t doing anything stupid.”

“Like random sex with strangers?”

“I said I would do my best to forget that. I will be having a talk with her though. I understand her need to experiment but she could experiment with the wrong guy one day and be forced to kill him. Despite what you two believe covering up dead bodies is not easy.”

Damn.

“Okay, well I guess I will go to the diner and have coffee. If you get tired of stalking us from the tree line come down and join us.”

“It’s better if I’m not seen. If anybody on that reservation like Jake asks, Aral is your cousin visiting from Phoenix.”

She was so bad ass, the one woman on Earth I would let tie me up.

Walking into the diner I made a straight line for the counter and ordered a black coffee. It would get me wired enough until Arial was done with her boy toy.

I felt it.

Someone was watching me. I just knew it.

I turned quickly and saw a beautiful bronze skinned goddess sitting at a booth. Her eyes instantly went to mine but I knew she had been staring at my ass.

Grabbing my coffee I walked over to her. To her credit her eyes never left mine. She was beautiful, long raven black hair, a low cut tight red top showing very nice cleavage and dark, smoky eyes.

“My name is Bella. Since you were staring at my ass I am going to go ahead and have a seat with you. Maybe you could stand later and let me return the favor.” I said quietly. Who knew what anybody around here knew about anybody. Didn’t want to out her by accident.

“Hello Bella. My name is Emily. Pleasure to meet you.”

“Same here Emily. I appreciate you not denying you were staring at my ass.”

“Despite your best efforts to hide your body you are a bit hard not to stare at. Since you didn’t turn away in disgust and instead walked over, I am assuming you are gay?”

“We recognize our own, don’t we?”

This was the most interesting development that has happened since I have come to Forks. Even more interesting than vampires.

“You live around her?” I asked, hoping.

“No, I live at the Makah Reservation about two hours from here. I am here visiting my cousin, Leah. She has been going through a rough time. We are very close so of course I came over when she called.”

“That’s nice of you. What problems is she having?” I asked like I cared.

“Fucking men of course. Her fiancé disappeared for weeks and she had no idea where he was. Then he shows back up without an explanation and refuses to be near her.”

“Fucking men. He was probably fucking some girl in Vegas.”

“That’s what I think. Anyway he is coming to see her tonight and she is afraid he is going to break up with her so she wants me there.”

“Drama huh? So does she know you are a lesbian?”

“God no. No one does. My Rez isn’t very open minded and neither is my family.”

“That’s too bad.”

I sipped my coffee while she put her lips around the straw in her soda and met my eyes.

“I need to go to the bathroom.” she told me suddenly.

“Okay…”

“The bathroom is only big enough for two people and it has a lock on the door. Feel like going with me?”

Fuck yes.

We walked to the back and turned a corner. She went in first. The bathroom had only one stall but it was petty spacious in front of the sink. The counter looked sturdy. I locked the door. When I turned, she already had her shirt off and was unhooking her bra.

I attacked.

Crashing my lips on hers I practically ripped the hook off her bra and grabbed her full beautiful breasts with both hands. Damn she was hot. I missed this. I hadn’t felt any tits other than my own in forever.

Her tongue invaded my mouth and my God did she taste good. She must have been drinking cherry coke.

Her hands went to my jeans and they were around my knees. Panties ripped to the floor and she was inside me.

Oh damn I was ready. I managed to take my hands off her amazing tits and unbutton her jeans. She had already kicked her shoes off as I discovered when I dragged them down her feet. She stepped out of them completely naked and to my surprise spun me around and pushed me against the counter. I kicked off my shoes while she pulled my two shirts off and wiggled out of my jeans, while her fingers worked magic on my clit and inside me.

“Up on the counter, now.” she practically growled.

Her free left hand squeezed my ass cheek and I jumped up, spreading my legs. Her fingers slipped off my pussy causing me to whimper until her face was buried between my legs.

“Shhh. I know it’s going to be hard but you are going to have to be quiet. Can you do that Bella?”

“Fuck yes.” I whispered. I would do just about anything right now that she asked.

It wasn’t sexy but I grunted when her tongue hit my pussy and her hands tweaked my nipples at the same time.

Oh God I started grinding into her and couldn’t stop. I grabbed her hair and pressed her closer to me.

It had been so long. I felt it… I missed it and I needed it. She pinched both of my nipples hard and then stood up, kissing me again. Her hand dropped to my pussy and one hand was pinching and the other was rubbing so hard.

“Cum for me Bella.”

That was it. It hit me hard and fast and the only reason I didn’t scream was because my tongue was mixed with hers and her lips cut off any loud noise I could make.

I desperately tried to control my breathing and stop the tremors, the waves of pleasure cascading over my body were causing, so I could focus on the task at hand.

She took stepped back and looked at me. I wrapped my arms around her and grabbed her ass.

“Up on the counter.” I growled. She gave me a sly grin and I was glad to see her lips were glistening. Emily sat down on the counter and I was pleased to see she only has a slight strip of hair over her pussy, almost like a compass marker.

God, she tasted good. I used one hand on her and found her clit with my tongue, nibbling with just my lips. Teeth weren’t needed. She was soaked and tasted so good.

I shoved three fingers in and had no problems at all. She gasped.

“Oh shit Bella.”

I know right? I need to start carrying a vibrator next to my gun.

My other hand dropped between my legs and I found my favorite spot. I was determined to get off one more time before this was over. She wrapped her hands in my hair but didn’t pull. She did squeeze her thighs together securing me to her pussy even tighter. Both my hands were moving quicker and my tongue was going so fast I doubted a vampire could keep up with it. I opened my mouth a bit wider and took long strokes when out of nowhere she fucking came all over me.

That set me off and I came at the same time, moaning into her pussy. To her credit she managed to stay quiet but a quick looked showed her to be shivering all over and her bronze skin was radiating heat. I gently kissed both her nipples and then her lips.

“You have no idea how badly I needed that.” I told her.

“Same here. Damn you have serious skill, girl.”

“So do you. I need to go collect a friend of mine. Let me get dressed and leave first.”

“No problem. I need a moment to collect myself.”

After I was dressed, I gave her a quick kiss on the lips.

“Nice to meet you Emily.”

“You too Bella.”

Walking out I saw the sweetest little old lady outside the door. I suppose she was waiting for the bathroom.

“Are you okay dear?”

“Yes ma’am, I’m great now. My friend needs another moment. She will be right out I’m sure.”

“Your friend?”

“Yes ma’am. She was a great help. Have a nice day.”

Walking across the street, I saw Arial walking out of Paul’s house. She would have to brush her hair before she went back to Daddy.

Oh fuck the guy was following her. I moved quicker.

She met me in the street. With a look she knew.

“What the hell happened to you?” she whispered. “How did you managed to get laid in that amount of time, here of all places?”

“Just lucky, I guess. I was due some good luck. You have a straggler.”

Dumbass walked up to us.

“Hey, can I call you at least?”

“I’m just here visiting my cousin Bella here. I don’t live anywhere around here Peter.” Arial explained.

“Paul.”

“What?”

“My name is Paul. Please let me call you at least. I don’t care where you live.”

Arial patted Paul on the cheek.

“Paul, we had fun. You were a lot better than the last guy I had. Let’s just look at this as a fond memory and not make this awkward.”

“But… I mean you are amazing…”

“Paul your embarrassing yourself. I have to go. Bye now.”

Paul looked like someone slapped his puppy but he did back up. Yep he’s a clinger. I would have thought he would be a player just by looking at him but I guess I was wrong.

Arial and I left him standing in the yard, while we trekked to Second Beach which I hadn’t seen yet.

“So, how was he?”

“He was okay. I think if he was a couple inches taller and had a bit more muscle mass, he could be a model. The idiot has pictures of girls taped to his bed post, I guess he thinks he is a player.”

“You certainly made an impression.”

“I’ve had a lot of time on my hands lately and Sasha does love her Harlequins… oh shit put your earbud in!”

“Relax, Sasha is watching and she has assured me she is the only one.”

“She’s here?”

“Somewhere.” I told her, taking a look around, knowing I wouldn’t see her. “She saw you go in with Petey. Don’t worry, she won’t say anything to your dad. Probably have a talk with you about picking up strange at reservations.”

“She can’t seriously be worried about my safety.”

“She is worried you may have to kill someone and she will have to cover it up.”

“I’m going to have a talk with you too Bella.” Sasha whispered in my ear.

“You can talk with me anytime Sasha.” I told her back suggestively. “I hope you were listening and realize what you are missing now.”

“No I wasn’t.”

Sasha didn’t sound amused.

We reached Second Beach and sat down on a piece of driftwood. That shit seemed to litter these beaches. Arial pulled out the bottle and shot glasses.

We were about to toast each other until Sasha walked out, covered in camo, green and black face paint, holding a rifle, and not smiling. She took my shot glass and downed it.

“I thought I would have to cover up stolen cars or homemade explosives in the forest. Seriously guys? Arial? You know I hate having to keep this from your Dad.”

“I hate living here. I guess we are even.” Arial told her and downed her shot. I took my shot glass back from Sasha and poured my own before she could take it.

“Fuck it. Give me the bottle.”

Sasha poured both of us shots and proceeded to turn the bottle up.

Once she looked a little relaxed, I went ahead and gave it a try.

“You look really hot in camo Sasha.”

“I know. I think you have had enough sex today Bella. Lay off before I get drunk enough to take you up on your offer.”

I had to try.

On the way home, Jack, who was driving my car bomb since Sasha decided to get plastered with us and couldn’t drive my truck back, learned from Tyrone that Eddie was waiting at my house for my return.

Great.

“Well you can’t go back there drunk. You can come to our place.”

“Thanks. Can I use the hot tub this time?”

“Sure if Connolly isn’t in it.”

Connolly. I guess Jack heard my drunken growl.

“He’s a good guy Bella. He just thinks we should get you out of here. You know I’m inclined to agree with him.”

“Your daughter thinks he is hot.” Fuck it. Let’s see how Uncle Jack feels about him now.

“She does?”

“Yeeeppp. Big time. She probably wants to have mini rednecks with him.” Okay so I was probably a little drunk. A lot drunk.

“You’re full of shit Bella. By the way just because I give you and Arial the okay to go to La Push doesn’t mean I am giving you two permission to get plastered every time.”

“Then you shouldn’t send out mixed signals.”

“What mixed signals?”

“You knew she took a bottle and didn’t stop her. That in itself is a green light in my opinion. Besides your wife who was doing the sexiest little Rambo impersonation I have ever seen was right there getting plastered with us.”

“Yeah I plan to talk to her about that.”

“Why? So she can kick your ass again?”

Jack did not answer. I felt it was a fair question. Jack was a deadly son of a bitch but fighting a woman who was faster than you and who could also read every move you planned to make in your head, was a bit of a challenge even for someone of Jack’s skill.

We reached the house and who should be waiting but Jason Connolly, the food critic.

“Damn Swan, looking a bit shaky on your feet.”

He smirked.

I kneed him in his balls.

He dropped.

Smirk gone.

A guy I guessed was Ty walked out of the kitchen to see what the noise was. He smirked at Connolly on the ground.

I did a jumping roundhouse kick and managed to get enough height to plant my foot on his jaw. He hit the ground too, right next to Connolly.

“Damn bitch!” Ty screamed rubbing his jaw.

“Don’t be pussies. I’m going to the hot tub. I don’t have a suit so I am going to be butt ass naked. Any of you come out there besides Sasha or Arial, I’m putting a bullet in your head.”

I was reminded of another thing.

“Hey Connolly, since your balls are now residing in your stomach, are you still qualified for combat or does that make you a female like myself?”

He moaned. Guess that was all the answer I needed.

Jack tried to wake me up early the next morning. This time I refused to get up. It was 6 fucking AM on a Saturday. He and Edward Cullen could kiss my hot ass.

At 9 I rose from my slumber and took a shower. Sasha was a sweetheart and made me and Arial breakfast. Hawk walked in and ate all the bacon of course. I asked where the rest were and Sasha explained that Connolly was in his room with an ice pack over his balls, Gavin went to get X rays to see if his jaw was broken and Jack was listening in to the Cullen house. Apparently to hear them he had to record and then slow the sound way down because they talked as fast as they ran when not around live folk like little old me.

After a nice shower, where I unfortunately lost the scent of Emily’s perfume that had been clinging to my body, I dressed and headed back to my vampire love shack. Arial was not happy and thought today would be a good opportunity to run for our lives. I couldn’t though. We had to know how to kill them first. What Jack and company have failed to register or take into consideration is that even if I ran, if Eddie was so focused on having me, he would not be above kidnapping Charlie and holding his life over my head. Plus I doubted Jasper wouldn’t track me to find out what was going on. I was in too deep. There was no pulling out.

Charlie was home when I got there which was unusual in itself. I wonder if he had finally stocked up on fish for the next fifty years.

“Bella.”

“Morning Dad.”

Uh oh. Dad didn’t look happy. I hoped he didn’t try to be assertive and piss me off. I loved my father. I did.

But I would hurt him in a heartbeat if he thought he would yell at me.

“Thank you for texting me last night that you were staying in La Push. I wish you would have texted me sooner than midnight though.”

“Oh…” I texted him? I wasn’t that drunk. I remember kicking Connolly and Gavin’s asses but…

“I texted him, told him you made a friend and were staying over with her.” Jack informed me.

“I’m sorry Dad. I guess I lost track of time.”

He smiled so I guess that was good enough. He felt like a parent now and wouldn’t have to ground his maid and cook.

“No problem, I am glad you were there. So what friend did you make? I probably know her; I know just about everybody there.”

“Uh… actually her name was Emily. I can’t remember her last name. We uh… I mean she is from the Macco Reservation I think?”

“Makah?” Charlie offered.

“Yeah that sounds right. Anyway she was staying with some family and we met at the diner when she was picking up food and I was having coffee and uh… we started talking and she invited me to her family’s place to watch movies.”

I suck at lying today. Still I was used to lying to vampires. Humans were a different story. This story was full of holes.

“What family was she visiting?”

Fuck. Jack?

“Got me. You are on your own Phoenix.”

“I didn’t catch their names. It was her aunt and uncle and their daughter. Uh they were all… I mean they all had black hair and were tan and… kinda dark eyes.”

“Kinda vague Bells. You just described a lot of people at the Rez.”

“Sorry Dad, I was just so into the movie and getting to know Emily. She was fascinating. I just had to get into her pant… head you know? Really focus on her, to get to know her better.”

“That’s nice. Well I’ll be home today so if you need anything let me know.”

I can’t believe he bought that.

“You are not drinking again until this mission is over. You assault two team members when you are drunk and turn into a horrible liar when you are hung over. Who the fuck is Emily? What the hell did you do yesterday? I’m going to find out from Arial. I know how to get her to talk.”

Sure you do, Jack.

I walked up the stairs and whispered, “go fuck yourself Jack. Get your game face on, I am betting I have company waiting on me.”

Sure enough the moment I opened my door there he was, my knight in sparkly armor.

“Bella, I was so worried! Why didn’t you let me know you were staying the night? I thought the worst!”

Uh, I didn’t let my Daddy know and you sure as hell aren’t my Daddy.

“Sorry, I can be forgetful…” drunk… “and just forgot. I made a new friend”… fuck buddy… “and then it was late and I had drifted off to sleep. I didn’t mean to worry you.”

Hell, thanks to Emily and Jim Beam I didn’t even think about you once. It was nice.

“I am just glad you are okay. I thought you were going with your father?”

“He backed out at the last minute.”

“I see. Could I possibly hug you?”

Seriously? This had started off to be a good day.

“Sure.”

I locked my face and he drew me in. I tried to stay back as much as possible but I could feel the cold from his corpse sinking through my clothes. I think my fascination with Rosalie was due to extreme sexual frustration. Now that I had gotten it out of my system the idea of licking a cold marble statue, even one as hot as she was, had lost its appeal.

Once he released me, Eddie was all smiles.

“There has been a change of plans. I am going to run home and bring back Emmett’s Jeep. Alice has seen a thunderstorm coming in so we have decided to play baseball.”

“Baseball? Vampires play baseball?”

“This shit gets better and better.” Jack commented, once again showing that we are on the same page.

“It’s the American pastime, Bella.”

Yeah, live Americans. Dead ones tend to not play as much. Who am I kidding? They play fucking video games, of course they play baseball.

“Okay, sounds great. So no shopping today?”

“No, you have been granted a reprieve from shopping with Alice.”

Great, the one thing I was looking forward to. The bitch would buy me a new wardrobe without thinking about it and I could explain to Jack that I had to wear those clothes because I wouldn’t want to seem rude.

“That’s a relief.” I lied.

“When I return it would be a perfect time to introduce me to your father.”

Fuck.

“Sounds good. See you in… a few hours?”

“Silly Bella, I will be back in ten minutes, perhaps fifteen.”

He kissed me on the cheek and was gone before I could even see what happened or respond.

Did that fucker just call me silly? He is a pompous ass who sparkles and drinks Bambi and I’m silly?

I changed out of my horrendous clothes into clean equally horrendous clothes and decided to give Charlie a warning.

Just in time too because I saw Edward had pulled up outside in a Jeep that was seriously overcompensating for something.

Running downstairs I saw Charlie cleaning a shotgun and was shocked. The cleaning solvent he was using must have been very old judging by the condition of the can. I prefer to use new cleaning solvent every time. More expensive? Yep, but this is your gun we are talking about. The life it saves could be your own.

“Hey Ch… Dad? Uh Edward Cullen is coming over and he wants to meet you. We are kind of going… I mean he is taking me… anyway he wants to meet you so please be nice. It’s kind of important.”

If you’re not nice he may hurt you or worse. Who knows what this sparkly cocksucker is capable of?

“I thought you said you didn’t like any of the boys in town?”

“Edward doesn’t technically live in town Dad.”

And I don’t technically like him unless you consider wanting to turn him into fairy dust liking someone. Also he isn’t technically alive.

“Isn’t he too old for you?”

You have no fucking idea.

“We are the same age and both juniors Dad.”

Charlie sighed and jerked the shot gun up snapping the barrel in place. I am sure that was meant to be intimidating and maybe it would be if he had actually put shells into the double barrels.

“Okay, well bring him in.”

I walked to the door, and of course there was Edward on the other side. I stepped aside and he entered, walking up to the big chief.

“A pleasure to meet you Chief Swan, I’m Edward Cullen.” Edward stuck out his hand and I wondered how Charles would take the dead cold skin until I realized Eddie was wearing gloves.

“You too Edward. So what are your plans today?”

“I am just taking Bella with my family to play baseball.”

“Bella playing baseball. Good luck with that.”

Fuck you Charlie. I loved my Dad but God did I want to kick his ass sometimes.

Edward walked me out and proceeded to buckle me into this very large very new Jeep, which I found ridiculous because everyone knows a real Jeep lover who was into off roading would be in a 1978 to 81 CJ7 if they are serious. This was an overpriced showroom toy with bells and whistles and no horsepower, effectively making it a barking dog with no bite.

Twenty minutes later we had indeed gone off road, gotten stuck, Edward pushed us out and we were now facing a wall of trees.

“This is it?”

“No, this is as far as we can go by vehicle. I will have to run you in the rest of the way.”

Joy.

Hopping on the ice cube express, I was shocked to find I was almost used to the blur that came with running on a vampire and still disturbed by how damn cold he was. I missed Arizona.

Admittedly the place we stopped was gorgeous. A huge clearing surrounded on all sides by forest, except for once side that was a cliff with a waterfall hitting a small pond that must have fed the river nearby. The circumference was probably three quarters of a mile.

The rest of the Brady bunch was waiting for me. Oh for the love of God, they were wearing baseball pants and jerseys. Are you fucking serious?

A cap was placed on my head by Edward who I saw had also put a jersey on but had thankfully forgone the skin tight baseball pants.

Emmett was dancing around what I guess they considered an outfield like an idiot. Jasper was twirling his bat like a baton; I suppose to impress someone. Again, do that without vampire powers and I might be impressed. Rosalie’s ass did look good in those pants though.

Esme wrapped her arm around me and I managed not to flinch, since I was already cold from riding Eddie here. That just sounded so wrong.

I got to be umpire. Yay.

The vampires of course knocked the shit out of the ball. Edward and Jasper jumped in the air and collided trying to catch one. They looked like they wanted to mud wrestle, they were so happy. Maybe if I could bring Eddie out of the closet, he wouldn’t be so obsessed with me.

I called Rosalie out on a slide, enjoying seeing her growling at me, laid out on her back. I never really paid attention as much attention because I usually focused on her lips, long legs and ass but she had some very nice tits. Maybe I could hold a blow dryer up to them for about a minute and just dive in. I wonder if a blow dryer set on extra heat would work. I’ve had it used as a sex toy on me before but…

“Everybody stop!” Alice yelled, pulling me from my thoughts.

Okay.

“The nomads heard us and decided to investigate rather than move on. They will be here in thirty seconds.”

Thirty seconds? She can see the future and it’s thirty seconds from now? What the hell good does that do?

“I have to get Bella out of here.” Edward said, worried and therefore worrying me. Nomads? These must be the guys who have been killing people in the area.

“You need to leave now Bella.” Jack said stating the obvious. Where would I be without him and his tactical genius?

“It’s too late.” Alice informed the group.

What the fuck? Sparkles can run like the wind and they aren’t even here yet! Get me the fuck out of here!

“Stay behind us, Bella. Put your hood over your head.” Eddie instructed.

“Like that will help. I can smell her from here.” Rosalie told him.

Exactly so since they still aren’t here get me the fuck out of here. The trees are right over there! Jeep on the other side. Can be there like in five seconds. Does any of this register?

“Shut up Rosalie.” Eddie told her. I looked at Jasper who just winked at me and then turned back to the approaching people eating vampires that I could have ran from while this entire conversation was going on.

Despite the line of vampires in front of me and Eddie by my side, I could see the tree line everyone was staring at.

There they were.

Three of them, a Bob Marley wannabee, a pretty boy with a pony tail desperately trying to look tough in his sleeveless leather vest covering his otherwise bare chest and a pretty damn hot red head.

Just like the first time I saw the Cullens, the same thought struck me.

“Why are they walking in slow motion?”

They were.
