Night Before Christmas

“THAT’S IT!! I can’t take it anymore!” Alice screamed over the sound of the song echoing from Emmett and Rose’s room. She grumbled as she started to climb the stairs.

“You better watch out, you better not cry…” the song began again.

“That’s right, YOU BETTER WATCH OUT.. I am going to make you cry, you jerk,” Alice mumbled so low only Jasper and Edward were able to hear.

“What did she say?” Bella asked with a smile.

“Oh something about making Emmett cry,” Edward replied with a giggle.

“How long has Emmett been playing Christmas music, and why is it so loud?” Bella inquired.

“This has been going on since about two o’clock this morning. He came home after watching that new Christmas movie, talking about how he was all in the Christmas spirit. He wanted to know if Rose wanted to ‘Jingle his Bells.” Jasper stood and walked over to the stairs to see if Alice was actually going up to Emmett’s room. He was mentally preparing himself for the confrontation.

Emmett, of course, was oblivious to all this commotion. He was busily showing Rose that Santa was indeed Cumming to town. He loved the holidays, and singing Christmas music was one of his favorite holiday treats. “One” of his favorites. His other favorite was looking at Rose dressed as Santa’s little naughty helper. She was definitely on the Bad Girl List, but if Emmett had anything to say about it she would be getting something big and hard for Christmas that wasn't coal.

“He sees you when you’re sleeping, He knows when you’re awake. He knows if you’ve been bad or good, so be BAD for goodness sakes,” Emmett sang as he pulled Rose over to him and slapped her on the ass.

She raised an eyebrow at the gesture. “So we are going to be Sadomasochistic Santa Clause tonight, are we?”

“I’ll be anything you want me to be, baby. Just let me open my presents a little early, you know I have been a good boy.” Emmett growled as he grabbed a handful of Rose’s hair and crashed his lips to hers with a ravished since of urgency. “But now that you mention it, it has been a while since I spanked that sweet ass. You know how I love your ass under my hands.”

Rose moaned into his mouth as he continued to kiss her. He assaulted her mouth with all the fever he could muster in order to keep her from telling him to fuck off. It took a lot of foreplay to get Rose ready undertake a submissive role.

Today, however, she seemed more than agreeable to the idea. In fact, when she pushed away he expected to hear her tell him to go to hell, but instead she rolled over to the nightstand and pulled out a pair of handcuffs.

She twirled them on her fingers, and wiggled her eyes up and down. Emmet thought he would go wild right there. He vaguely remembered hearing the “Santa Clause is Coming to Town” song start over on his CD player. He had set it to repeat, and turned it up as loud as it would go.

“Oh fuck yeah, baby. Let’s do this.” He could barely get his clothes off before he heard a loud banging on his door.

Emmett pretended not to hear Alice screaming on the other side of the door. He grabbed the cuffs, and placed one on Rose’s wrist. Then he pulled the other end around one of the bars on the headboard, and latched the other to her second wrist.

“Oh baby, you look so good all tied to our bed. I am going to drive you wild.” He placed his head between her tits and breathed in her scent. She was perfect. Everything about her was amazing. He pulled at one of her now perky peaks and rolled the other around with his tongue.

Rose let out a low growl, and pulled her head to the side. She was clearly getting into this.

“FUCKING EMMETT! Get your ass out here, or at least turn that damn song off. You are making me crazy. There are other people that live in this house you know… ROSE.. I heard you in there. I know what you two are doing…COME ON…open this door.” Alice screamed and continued to bang on our door.

Emmett put all his thoughts away from the door, and poured his soul into the bound beauty before him. He was slowly making his way south, kissing Rose’s tight stomach. He watched as goose bumps rose from her body. She shivered at his touch.

Once he arrived at the Promised Land, he began to nip and suck at her clit. He bit down hard, and then rolled his tongue over the sore spot. He looked up to see Rose’s lust filled eyes. She looked like she was going to say something, and that only caused Emmett to worry. He was not ready for this to end just yet.

He pulled away for a moment, and heard Rose whimper at the loss of contact. “Don’t you dare, move. I have you right where I want you. If you move or say a word, I swear I will not continue.” He was trying to sound sexy and dominative, but really he was trying to prolong the enviable.

He dove in again and heard a satisfied moan escape Rose’s lips, but unfortunately he continued to hear Alice at the door. FUCK, she needs to go away.

He covered her pussy with his mouth and fucked her with his tongue. He used his hand to massage her clit to heighten the pleasure. He could tell she was close as her hips thrust into his face to have him go deeper with his tongue. He rubbed, sucked, and thrust until it was clear she was going to come undone.

As she screamed her climax, Emmett continued to sing into her pulsing pussy, “SANTA CLAUSE IS COMING TO TOOOOWWWWNNNN!” Rose broke the headboard and snapped the handcuffs like it was a plastic toy.

Rose relaxed and smiled as she said, “OH MY…you are my jolly ol' elf.”

Emmett sat back on his heel, and brought his fingers to his mouth, sucking off all the juices that had covered each one.

“I swear to everything. I am going to break this door down right now. You better get off that bed and get over here by the time I count to three. ONE…” Alice continued.

“You better get that…I don’t want to be the one that has to explain to Esme what happened to one of her doors.” Rose sighed as she looked above her head, “We already have to explain the headboard.”

I gave her a quick look and said, “But Baby, Santa didn’t get his turn. You won’t want to send him out to deliver all those presents with a hard on, would you?”

“Just get the fuck up, and answer the door Emmett!”

“TWO!” Alice counted.

“Fine, but this is not over. We will have us a Merry Little Christmas later today,” Emmett lamented.

Using his vampire speed, he had the door opened, by the time Alice said, “THREE!”

She came tumbling into the room. Emmett laughed and teased, “Well, little one. If I had known you wanted a threesome, I would have opened the door sooner.”

“Gross, Emmett!” both girls chimed in at once.

“What?!” he said back.

“I didn’t come up here to see what you were doing. I just want you to turn down that song. Seven hours of "Santa Clause is Coming to

Town", is too much.” Alice squeaked as she found the stereo remote and turned the CD player off.

“So you are telling me that Jazz can’t keep it up for seven hours? I feel so bad for you Alice. You want me to help with that? I would be happy to lend you my services for the evening.”

A voice carried from downstairs, “I HEARD that you nub nut. Don’t make me come up there too,” Jasper yelled.

Rose breezed past him and down the stairs. He was sad to see that she had already changed out of her Vixen Elf costume and back into regular clothes.

Once the threesome hit the bottom floor, Emmett gathered Bella up in his arms. “Hey there, Bells! Merry Christmas!”

Bella giggled and replied, “Merry Christmas to you too, Emmett. I hear you enjoy Christmas songs.”

“Hell yes. What is Christmas without a few good carols?” He beamed. “And Jenn’s, And Shae’s, And Lillie’s, And Jessica’s, And Meg’s, And Lea’s, And Shawna’s, And…. Ouch Rose!” as she hit him on his shoulder.

Bella smiled at Emmett’s silliness but pondered the thought, and said, “My favorite part of Christmas was when Charlie would gather us around the fire, and read us ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas.’ I always loved that.”

Alice chimed in and said, “We can do that, too. You know we want you to feel at home here. Jazz, go light the fireplace. Everyone take your positions on the floor."

“God, Alice. Demanding MUCH.. We are supposed to ALL have fun. What if I don’t find crawling around on the floor in front of the fireplace fun?” Rose grumbled.

“Fine, whatever. You just sit on your throne and don’t have any Christmas Spirit. The rest of us are going to enjoy ourselves. Does anyone have the book?”

Emmett’s eyes twinkled and he exclaimed, “Who needs a book? I know this shit by heart. You just sit back and enjoy the ride.”

Collective groans could be heard around the room. “This better be good Emmett,” Edward warned.

“Yeah Yeah. Don’t worry so much, bro. I got this.”

Emmett looked comical as he prepared himself for his monologue.

Twas the Night Before Christmas and all through the hut,

all the vampires were stirring cause they needed to bust a nut.

With Gedward and Gella all tucked in their beds,

we all knew that visions of sex would be dead...

This caused Bella to blush and tuck her face into the crook of Edward’s arm. Edward was not amused. “Emmett! I don’t think this is quite what Bella was talking about. Is there a point to this?”

Emmett merely continued as if he had said nothing.

When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,

as Gasper had Galice laid out on a platter.

Her moans were like sonnets as she came to a head,

this caused our sweet Violet to rise from her bed.

“Emmett, seriously dude. Did you hit your head or something? Why can’t you think of a story where we all have normal sounding names?” Jasper sighed exasperatedly.

Emmett was not deterred in the slightest.

She tore open the shutter and flew up the sash,

and yelled to the lovebirds, “Shut the fuck up or I will come out with a slash.."

Some people are sleeping if you just try to care,

so keep it down you fucking retarded pair.”

Emmett glanced toward Rose and gave her a smirk, she looked at him un amused, and said, “I thought you wanted to continue opening your presents today. You better reel it in, little boy.”

Emmett let out a loud belly laugh, and went on.

With a little old Gemmett so lively and quick,

He came to her side with his big old fat stick..

He spoke not a word but went straight to his job,

He threw down her panties and thrust into her his knob.

As she climaxed, he pounded her pussy so warm and tight,

And yelled, “Merry Christmas to ALL and to ALL a good night!”

Emmett’s grin could not have been brighter as he sat on the edge of the couch, too proud of himself to speak.

There was absolute silence in the living room as all the couples absorbed the nasty sonnet that they just heard.

“Well, I thought it was very good. Thank you Emmett,” Bella said, breaking the silence.

“See, at least someone around here has a taste for the Arts. Bells can appreciate a good poem when she hears one. The rest of you can go to hell,” Emmett sulked.

“Suck it up, big boy. OK girls, let’s go have some girl time while the boys play a little of their new video game.” Rose proceeded to motion to the Alice and Bella to come with her into the kitchen.

When they were all far enough away from the boys, Rose winked at Alice. Bella looked confused, and started to say something, but Rose put her finger on her mouth and shook her head.

“So, Bella. We bought you some Egg Nog for the festivities tonight. Would you care for glass?” Alice asked as she was already reaching for a cup.

“Sure, that sounds great,” Bella answered, looking suspiciously at Alice.

“Wait just a minute. I have heard that Egg Nog just isn’t NOGGY unless you put a little Brandy in it,” Rose giggled.

Bella covered her glass with her hand as Rose tried to pour a little into it. “You know I am not old enough for that. Charlie would kill me.”

“Oh come on…Bella.. Live a little. Let your hair down and have some fun. Who knows? This might help with the ‘no sex‘ clause you and Edward have secretly agreed to. No man can resist a tempting tipsy vixen,” Rose declared.

“Oh, that’s fine for you to say. The two of you aren’t even going to have any. It will just be me getting silly, and Emmett laughing at me for the rest of my life about it,” said Bella.

“Well, I don’t know about the Egg Nog part, but I will try some of that brandy. I have heard that the taste isn’t all that bad, and we can actually feel some of the effects of the alcohol for a bit. This might be a fun experiment,” Alice chimed in.

Soon there were three glasses sitting on the table. Bella watched as Rose leaned around the corner of the room to see if anyone was listening, and smiled an evil grin as she returned to face Alice. Rose leaned into whisper something into Bella’s ear. “Just go with whatever we do,” and she winked at Bella’s confused face.

Alice began, “Girls, I saw the most amazing product while I was shopping the internet the other day. It sounds like it would be something fun to try, so of course I bought it.”

“Well, don’t keep us in suspense. What was it?” Rose said in an almost forced voice. It came out like she was reading a script or something.

Alice looked at her with a grim smile and shook her head. “Anyway…. It is a cream for a man’s private part. Well, it is for the WOMAN, but it goes on the dick. All he has to do is rub in this cream, and then the magic begins. Once he inserts his cock into the woman’s pussy, she experiences more pleasure than she can even imagine.”

Rose tried to keep from giggling as she glanced at the door and nodded. “Oh Alice. I need that so bad. Emmett and I have been having some ‘problems’ in the bedroom. I haven’t told him, but he just isn’t satisfying me the way he used to. Believe it or not, but I am actually getting a bit….BORED,” she said in a lowered voice for effect, knowing full well they could hear this discussion.

Bella looked shocked and said, “Oh NO! Rose I can’t believe it. The two of you seem so perfect for each other. What are you going to do?”

Alice grinned and put her hand on Bella’s back, “Well, it is to be expected really. They have been fucking for over four decades. I mean, how many times can you get excited about the same old sex over and over and over again?”

“Oh Rose, don’t cry. I am sure that if you talked to Emmett, he would try anything to spice up things in the bedroom,” Alice said as she tried to soothe a comically desperate Rose.

“No, he would NEVER do something like this. I just know it. If only he would just try, it might save our marriage,” she sniffed.

Alice paused for a moment, and looked at the other two girls and smiled, “Perfect. I have seen that our mission is complete.”

The three girls lifted there glasses and gave a toast to their conquest.

Both Alice and Rose downed theirs in one shot, but Bella sipped hers and looked at Rose, “You will someday tell me what just happened, Right?”

“All in good time..” she laughed. “GOD, this stuff tastes like crap. Gross. How do you drink this Bella?” Rose exclaimed.

“Well, I have egg nog in mine. That helps with the taste I would guess, but it is still strong.”

“Let’s keep this party going up in our room. Our task here is finished,” Alice stated as she reached for the bottle of brandy.

As the girls giggled up to the room, Emmett entered the kitchen. “So, Rose isn’t happy with our love life.” Downhearted, he picked up the tube of cream that Alice had mentioned but conveniently left on the kitchen table. “I’ll show her that I can be adventurous in bed.”

With that, he raced toward their bedroom to ‘lather up’.

The girls all let out a loud laugh as they heard his door slam shut.

Bella, who was now in on the joke, asked, “It won’t hurt him will it?”

“He’s a big boy. He can handle it.” The girls were having more and more fun as the drinks continued to flow.

“Hey, Rose. I thought you hated the taste. You seemed to be enjoying it now,” Alice almost slurred.

“I am still not fond of the flavor, but the effects are wonderful,” Rose laughed.

Alice got that far off look in her eyes again and then stated, “It won’t be long now.”

Suddenly the door to Emmett and Rose’s room flew open. Emmett began calling, “Rose!! Rose!! I need you. Can you come here for a minute please?”

As graceful as a shy fox, she slid through the door. “What is it? You sound upset.”

Emmett pushed her into the bedroom and slammed the door. “Something terrible has happened to little Gemmett. I think he is dying.”

Rose tried to conceal her amusement, but a small smile graced her lips. “What happened? Were you trying to swing from the chandelier with it again?”

“No, I swear. I was just trying to ‘spice things up’ and I ‘borrowed’ that cream that Alice was talking about. I was going to surprise you and I poured on a thick coat onto little G, and now…now…he is….GREEN.”

Rose could not stop the laughter now. It was either the alcohol or Emmett’s pet names for his penis that got her, but she was laughing so hard that she almost fell over.

“This shit isn’t funny. I think I killed him. At the very least, little G may never forgive me.”

“Okay. Let’s have a look. It can’t be as bad as you are making it out to be. Did you try to wash it?”

“Hell, yes. I washed it. Rubbed it. Scrubbed it. Nothing is working. IT’S GREEN, ROSE…Like a fucking Christmas TREE or something.”

He lowered his pants and let his cock spring free of his pants.

“Well, Deck the Halls…that is one BIG GREEN COCK!” Rose laughed.

“If you think this is so funny, I am going to leave. Someone can help me. This is serious. I am going to go show Carlisle.” Emmett brushed past Rose has she laughed hysterically.

Just as he opened the door, Alice and Bella tumbled into the room. They had obviously been eavesdropping to the entire conversation.

Alice giggled and said, “Emmett, I have more lines for your poem. It just CAME to me.”

"Little Gemmett is dying” he exclaimed with a wail.

“How will I survive from this sad sad tale?”

Oh, Poor Violet will be sick when it is seen,

That his loser ass cock has fucking turned green.

I know that she loves it, Whatever will she do?

Oh I know, buy a Magical Vibrating Rabbit or Two.

The best part about this electric love machine,

Is that it doesn’t talk back, now isn’t that keen?

All of the hysterics had alerted Jasper and Edward. They had been listening as well from downstairs. All three girls and both boys were laughing so hard they could not compose a complete sentence.

“That’s right… Laugh it up… I am losing my BEST FRIEND and all you fucks can do is laugh. Thanks a lot. Come on Little G. Let’s find Carlisle."

As Emmett marched out the door past the bodies in a laughing heap on the floor, he is met with a concerned Carlisle.

“What is this I hear about someone dying? What is going on?” Carlisle wanted to know.

Emmett stammered a bit, but then blurted out, “MY DICK IS GREEN, and IT IS GOING TO DIE!!”

Carlisle gasped and looked at his other kids laughing on the floor. “Emmett, I am sure this can be explained. Let me take a look.”

Emmett started to pull his pants down, but was stopped short by Carlisle’s hand, “In my office, please.”

As he closed the door behind them, they could both still hear the echoes of laughing in the hall. “So, what seems to be the problem.”

Emmett didn’t say a word, but let his green peen speak for itself.

At the sight before him, Carlisle placed a hand over his mouth to keep his amusement at bay. Once he was composed enough he asked, “How did you get green dye on your penis?”

They stopped and stared at each other for a moment. Emmett seemed to be replaying his actions of the day. Like a thunderbolt it hit him, “THOSE FUCKING GIRLS!!”

He tore out of Carlisle's office, and raced back to his bedroom, not even stopping long enough to pull up his pants.

His little Green G was hanging out in all his glory.

“So this is the thanks I get. You fuckers killed my cock. How could you, Rose?”

Rose could see that Emmett was clearly not having any fun, so she decided to help him out just a little, “Sweetheart, I would never permanently hurt something so precious to me. It was just a joke. Thank of this as payback from your little prank in the woods.”

She leaned in and helped him tuck himself back into his pants.

“But, Rose... Is he really going to die? I have visions of watching him shrivel up and fall off. Please tell me that isn’t going to happen.”

Alice took this as her time to speak up, “Of course not, silly. We have just the thing to help you return to your former glory.”

Emmett’s face lit up like a Christmas tree. “Hand that shit over, you evil pixy. I can’t take this anymore.”

“Now wait just a minute. We have a few demands before we let you off the hook,” Rose declared.

“OH YEAH? And what if I don’t follow through,” Emmett replied.

“Well, we hope you enjoy ‘Going Green’,” Bella giggled. All eyes were on her. Bella never made jokes about penises or sex. Her outburst took them all by surprise. “What?” she said. “It must be the brandy. I am feeling rather bold.”

Everyone laughed, “If that’s the case, you go first. What is something you would like of Emmett? Think hard. This type of opportunity only comes around once in a lifetime,” Rose stated.

Bella thought hard, “I want you to stop talking about Edward’s and my sex life. What we do or don’t do is none of your business. No innuendos, no crass remarks, and no eye wiggling around me. You got it?”

“Now you’re thinking. Alice? How about you?” asked Rose.

“Emmett is not a loud to play his stereo without headphones. I am sick and tired of having to hear him play the same song over and over and over.”

“You sure that is all you want? This is a monumental opportunity,” Rose asked.

Alice nodded her head, so Rose continued, “I want you to stop with the stupid pranks, and stop waving your dick around all the time. I am the only one that wants to see your cock, so keep it in your pants.”

Emmett sighed in defeat, “Fine, Fine…but just give it to me already. I can feel this shit seeping into my skin. I don’t want this to be permanent.”

Alice handed him the cream he needed to get the dye off, but he was stopped by a weary Rose that eyed him suspiciously, “Do know that if you don’t commit to all our demands, you might never know when this little tube might come popping up again. Next time your dick will be BLUE to go with your balls. Don’t mess with me, lover boy.”

He didn’t reply, but only raced to the restroom.

After a few minutes, Jasper replied, “He must be feeling better. He seems excited about something.”

Just then the door opened with a bang, and Emmett yelled, “Santa’s BACK BABY..Now let’s go open those presents you promised me. CAUSE…Santa Clause is CUMMING TO TOWN!”

Vampire Screams

The night was cold and breezy. All six of the campers were bundled up for the night, but only one of them was feeling the effects of the cool air. Emmett had made a campfire at Alice’s request. She thought it would make the whole experience more festive. Bella was just thankful for the fire’s warmth. She couldn’t have cared less what it looked like. But when you hang out with a family of vampires, you quickly learn that they do most of the human things for the perception of others. They had to play the part.

Tonight they had all decided to go camping. It was Halloween night, and not a favorite holiday of the Cullens. When Alice had said that she saw them all making out around a campfire, all the boys were in. The cars practically packed themselves.

Now the three couples sat around the fire telling stories and helping to make Alice’s vision a reality.

Edward leaned into Bella and asked, “Are you too cold? Do you need to move closer to the fire?” Bella was shivering, but not necessarily from the cool night air. He pressed his lips to her ear and began to pull her ear lobe into his mouth. He wrapped his tongue around it and then began to move further down her neck. She moaned into his touch.

“OH, Edward. If you keep doing that, I will be warm all night.” She leaned into his mouth and pulled his chin up. He grabbed the back of her head and brought her lips to his. The kiss began as feathery and light as always. Bella knew it was only a matter of time until he pulled back and regained his control. She wanted more. She wanted to feel him. She greedily attacked his mouth and grazed her tongue over his lips. The sensation of warm to cold was thrilling. She needed him. She started to lean backwards onto the sleeping bag they were laying on, and to her surprise he followed her movements.

Edward was more aroused than he had ever been before. His Bella wanted him and he ached to taste her. Not just her blood. Although every time she blushes he felt the venom fill his mouth. He longed to lick up the juice that spilled down her legs. She was always wet for him now. Her body merely had to touch him, and he could smell her arousal between her legs. This was madness. He had to have her. She wanted it, he craved it, and by god tonight he would mark her as his.

“Hello over there. Are you two planning on making a porno tonight?” Cock blocker Rose grumbled as the others giggled.

Unfortunately for the lovers wrapped in their embrace, this only served to squelch the fires of desire. Both Edward and Bella stopped abruptly and sat up straightening their clothes.

“Give them both a break Rose. If the lust gets any thicker from those two, I am going to jump Bella myself. How in the world are you maintaining your distance Edward? I know you want to ravish her. Go find a bush and get us all out of our misery.” Jasper was clearly frustrated with the continued blue balls of his brother. He went to stand up, but Alice stopped him.

“Jazzy, I think your problems will be solved tonight. Don’t worry. You can take out your frustrations on me. I am always open to calming your nerves.” She pulled him back onto their sleeping bag, and began to kiss his face, working her way to his lips.

“Come on. Not you too. We are out in the beautiful wilderness, on a Halloween night. Let’s at least take some time to have some fun before we all start making out. It’s not as if we don’t have ALL NIGHT.” Emmett said with a frown. He was always up for fun. The thing is that most of the time his fun revolved around sex with Rose. Something was up with him, and the others eyed him suspiciously.

“YOU are turning away from sex with ME!” Rose declared. “That’s fine. You can sleep in the woods tonight. Don’t even THINK about coming into my tent. Maybe some female shape shifter from the res will come and get you off.” Rose was pissed, and a pissed Rose could ruin the fun for everyone. Emmett had to think fast.

“NOW BABY! You know that is not what I mean. I will take you right here in front of everyone. You KNOW I can do it to. I am always ready to have sex with you. I was just saying that we are out here with our family. It might be nice to spend some time together and have some fun, but if you are hot and ready for me. Let’s do this!” Emmett started taking off his shirt and pants. Before Bella could blink, she was staring at Emmett in his birthday suit.

She couldn’t help but to stare. Emmett was a very large man in any right, but seeing him in all his glory, she could see that his manly endowments were very well endowed. She broke the stare when she heard a throat clear from behind her.

“You see something you like? I am sure Emmett could take care of you too.” Edward was only teasing, but Bella blushed none the less. She looked away and caught Rose’s angry glare.

“Emmett, no one wants to see you naked. And I do mean…NO ONE. Put your damn clothes back on. You are going to attract moths or something.” Rose declared.

“I don’t know about that. Bella seemed to see something she liked. How about it little sis? You want to meet me behind the tree. I will help put out the fires I smell between your legs.” He started swaying his hips to an imaginary song letting his dick swing from side to side.

“EMMETT!! You have lost your mind. Get dressed already. Bella is not ready for your stupid jokes. Damn, she probably wants to go home now. You freaked her out!” Edward yelled.

“No I am fine but, yes, please put your pants back on Emmett. I just can’t look at that with a straight face.” Bella leaned into Edward’s chest and giggled.

“You won’t be laughing in a minute little girl,” he mumbled but went to put back on his clothes.

Alice made an attempt to salvage the evening by asking, “So Emmett, what other fun things did you have in mind. Did you want to tell stories or something? How about we make some smores?” She reached into her bag and pulled out the marshmallows, graham crackers, and chocolate.

“Well, seeing that you already know what I am going to do. Why don’t we start with those campfire stories? Here are the rules. The must be scary. They must have some fucking, and they must include me.” Emmett laughed at the last rule, but they all knew he was totally serious.

“Alice, why did you bring so much food? You know I am the only one that can eat it. It seems like a waste. You guys don’t even like the smell. I am not that hungry anyway.” Bella told Alice. Alice just kept on bringing out supplies from her bag as if she hadn’t heard.

“It just makes the night feel right. Okay. Who wants to tell the first ghost story? Jasper how about you? You have some great stories about some pretty creepy things. You start.” Alice requested.

“No Way! My idea. My story is first. Okay, everyone gather around and snuggle close to your loved one. You never know what kind of demon is lurking in these woods.” Emmett was trying to use his scariest voice, but only Bella was buying it.

“Once upon a time, in a land far, far away.” Groans could be heard all around the campfire. “Okay, seriously. I heard this story a few years ago. The legend I am going to tell you happened just about right here in these forests. The scene was so gruesome even the most hardened policeman on the scene still has nightmares about it. I must tell you that we vampires are not the most dangerous things in the woods. There are demons so dark and scary even Aro himself would run if her knew.” He seemed satisfied that he had us all on the edge of our sleeping bags so he continued.

The story begins as six young and brave humans started a night of fun around a campfire. Kind of like we are sitting right now. The night was clear and cold, but there was an uneasy feeling amongst the campers. Something didn’t feel right. The whole night they felt like they were being watched, almost hunted. This was not their first time to be in the woods camping, but it was the first time in this particular spot. After a fun night of being together around the fire, each couple set out to go into their own tents for some serious forest fucking.

Just as the last couple starts to pull up the zipper on their tent, they all hear a blood curdling scream from just the other side of the campsite. The screaming continues for a full minute until all the couples are huddled together next to the light of the fire. Just as quickly as it starts, it stops. But now they hear a noise that sounds like a body dragging across the rocks.

“Who’s out there?” one of the boys yells out. The only answer they get is a loud thud as the body is dropped. The girls are terrified, and the boys are feeling protective, so they decide to go check it out. The really handsome muscular boy that all the girls secretly want to fuck tells them that he will take the flashlight and go see what it is.

“Please be careful Gemmett, and take care of that cock. I will need it later.” His luscious girlfriend, Violet, yells after him.

He disappears into the night and the others wait for his return. They hear the rustling of leaves and something that sounds like a scuffle. Violet yells, “GEMMETT…!!!” but they hear nothing else. The hero of the group is lost. Now the girls are left with the backups and much less handsome boys of the group, Geddie and Gasper. The girls know that all hope is lost and they begin to cry.

“What are we going to do now? Someone has to go out there and check on Gemmett. I know he is the strongest and has the biggest cock, but he could have been tackled by a bear or something.” The girls cry.

“Whatever Emmett? Does this story have a point or are we going to hear about how wonderful you are all night?” Edward grumbled.

Jasper added, “YEAH, and why do we all have names that start with the letter G?”

“Just shut up and listen to the story. This is when it gets really scary.”Emmett replied.

So, as I was saying. The two losers, Geddie and Gasper decide to leave the girls and go to check on Gemmett together. They are both too pussy to go by themselves. The girls are terrified, but watch the boys disappear into the darkness holding onto each other for support.

Almost immediately the girls hear more screaming and yelling. They also hear the rumblings of a large beast. Just to the outside of where the firelight reaches, they can see a demon approaching the camp. Its teeth are blood red, and its jaws are snapping open and closed with a loud “CRUNCH”. The girls just can’t quite make out what it is in the twilight of the fire.

They lean their bodies toward the figure to get a better view. Each was holding their breath in anticipation. The demon looks up and sees them watching and jumps further into the darkness leaving its prey dying on the forest floor.

“HELP ME!” the dying Gasper whines. “PLEASE SAVE ME..I am not as strong as GEMMETT. I need you women.” The girls move in unison to his bloody body.

Violet leans down to grab him and bring him back to the light of the fire, but he is too heavy. They all grab an arm or a leg and begin to lug his body back over to the camp.

Just as they are dragging him back, a hand reaches out and steals Galice into the night. All that is left is a piece of her manicured nail. The girls drop Gasper and run back to the safety of the firelight.

They are being picked off one by one. Gella and Violet are now alone. They begin to cry and think of their families. Would they ever make it home again? They are holding each other next to the fire and begin to rock back and forth. Gella reaches up and tells Violet, “We are going to die. I don’t want to die without telling you how I have felt about you. For as long as I have known you I have wanted to do this.” And she leans her lips toward Violet and gives her a sweet and soft kiss on the lips.

Violet begins to loosen up and starts to kiss back. Just lips and moans first, but soon the two of them are going for the gusto. Tongues are flying all over the place and hands are going up under shirts. The two girls are really getting into it as they lay back on the ground and start taking off their clothes.

“What the fuck Emmett? Is this a ghost story or a porno? Come on dude. Don’t go there. Move on to the good stuff.” Edward pleaded.

“Excuse me. This is my story. When it is YOUR turn you can tell a boring white lace story just like you, but for now. Shut up and let me finish.” Emmett challenged.

So the girls were naked and exploring their bodies for the first time. Gella noticed the moisture pooling between Violets legs. She took her small hand and placed it on Violets soft and throbbing mound. She began to rub in circles as Violet laid her head back in ecstasy.

Rose interrupted this time. “That’s enough Emmett. Either tell your story, or I am going to bed.”

“Okay. Okay. I thought you were getting into it. You can’t deny it would be hot to see the two of you go at it, but alright back to the demon.” Emmett said.

“Wait…did you hear that?” Emmett stops and cocks his head to the side as if listening hard to the night. “I heard something. Listen.”

“Very funny you ass. I didn’t hear a thing. Just keep going” Rose states.

“No. Wait. I heard it too.” Jasper said. “Be still and listen.”

Everyone is silent. There is no noise except the rapid beating of Bella’s heart. It was clear to all that she was terrified.

Just as Alice was about to say to stop scaring Bella, they all heard a loud scream in the night. The girls jumped out of their skin and jumped into the laps of the boys.

“What the hell was that?” Rose declares.

“I want to go home.” Bella cries.

“Jazzy hold me.”Alice begs.

The world stops suddenly. Everyone stops and is silent. Suddenly Jasper makes a snickering sound followed soon by a giggle from Edward. It is not long and all three boys are laughing hysterically.

“What is so damn funny?” the girls yell.

“Oh oh oh.. you should have seen your faces. That was classic. Man if we would have filmed that shit we would be famous. HA HA HA. Way to go boys.” Emmett laughed.

“Wait. Let me get this straight. You all planned this whole thing. How did you keep all this from Alice? How did you make the screaming sound?” Rose questioned.

The girls are getting increasingly frustrated waiting for the answers to the questions. The boys have yet to stop laughing and high fiving each other. Bella moved to get away from Edward.

“You tricked us. Why would you scare us like that?” she asked.

Edward tried to bring her back to him, but she pulled away. “Bella, we were only having a little fun. That’s what you do on a campout. Don’t be mad.”

“But how did I not see this coming. I don’t understand.” Alice said as she rubbed her head in frustration.

“That was a tricky part of the plan.” Emmett joked and then yelled, “Come on out. It’s over.”

Much to the girls’ surprise, they hear some rustling in the woods and soon a figure crawls into the firelight.

“Seth! Is that you?” Bella yelled.

Seth cautiously creeps closer, but it is plain to see that he is clearly amused. He had heard the whole thing. They then notice that he is holding something in his hand.

“What is that?” Bella asked.

“Don’t be mad, Bella. We were only having some fun. This is The Screamer 2000. I got it for Christmas a couple of years ago, but I have never found a use for it like I did tonight.” Seth holds out the machine and presses the button on the side. Immediately, the quiet of the night was shattered with a terrifying scream.

“So Seth was in charge of ‘screaming’ at us. That’s why I couldn’t see it was him.” Alice shook her head in disgust. “Jasper, you were in on this too. I can’t believe it.”

The boys started giving each other slaps on the back and congratulating Seth on a job well done.

The girls were getting more and more upset, but the boys either didn’t care or didn’t notice. Neither option was sitting well with the frustrated females.

“I can see that we are no longer needed here. Let’s go home girls and have some fun. I have a pedicure with my name on it.” Rose said.

In the blink of an eye, Rose took off through the forest. Alice grabbed Bella and took off after her. The boys were alone, but their laughing continued.

“You think we should go after them?” Jasper asked.

“I think we would be safer out here with the demons. Rose can be quite a bitch when I get the best of her. The payback is going to be hell,” Emmett laughed, “but it was so worth it.”

The boys all smirked to one another in agreement, turned back to the fire and continued to think about the nights activities.

Edward said, “Do you think we could just go hunting next year?”

Emmett laughed, “Oh yeah, how do you expect us to get out of Alice wanting another ‘Family bonding camping experience?’”

“Oh that’s easy,” Jasper stated. “Just remind her of this year! She may never go camping with us again.”

And just like that, all the boys were laughing again.

Porch Lights

BELLA'S POV

Slamming the refrigerator for the fifth time tonight while trying to figure out what to fix for supper, I notice an orange and black flash fall to the floor. I know immediately what it is. I have been trying to forget it was even there. I resolve to pick it up and throw it in the trash, where it belongs, but once again glance over the words on the page.

“Get your Sexy on fast, at Lauren’s Halloween BLAST”

Did she really put that in print? But that isn't the real question that has been bothering me since I got the damn thing two weeks ago. My first thought was, “Why the hell is she inviting me?” It's not as if I ever go to parties. How can I? I am basically a teenage mother to my eight year old brother, Seth. My father, Charlie, works very odd hours as the Chief of Police. If you ask me, he stays away on purpose. Ever since Mom died, Charlie has mostly checked out, leaving me and Seth to basically find our own way.

This is my senior year of high school, and it's Halloween. I walk over to the window to see the street decorated with ghosts, witches, and pumpkins, and I sigh. Well, at least Mike is planning on coming over to help me take Seth trick or treating.

Mike and I have been going out for about a year. He is the one thing in my life that makes me feel like a normal teenager. We don’t get to go on many dates, not unless Seth tags along. On a few occasions Mrs. Johnson, our elderly neighbor, offers to watch Seth, so I can be, as she would say, “a teenager for once.”

I really don’t mind my brother, but he can be a handful. His lack of self preservation and his immense curiosity often gets him in major trouble, but I love him more than anything. He is my one constant; Seth is my world. As upset as I might get at not being able to go to parties and be a kid like everyone else, I would never take it out on him. It isn’t his fault. I want him to experience the joys of being a child, and Halloween night is one of those times.

“Come back here, you MUTT!” I hear, as Seth crashes down the stairs following his beagle puppy, Jake. Jake flashes by me with something black and plastic in his mouth. Just as I am about to grab him he ducks under the kitchen table.

“That’s it, sis! You corner him, and I'll get the broom.” Seth races to the pantry and grabs the broom.

Just as he's ready to strike, I finally come out of my frozen state. “What are you doing? You can’t hit a puppy. Give me that,” I scold as I reach for the broom handle.

“But Bella, he has my mask, and he's gonna chew holes in it. How scary will I be as a ‘holy’ Freddie Kruger?” Seth whines.

“Wait just a minute, and I’ll get it.” I go to the pantry and put the broom away. Glancing around, I find the milk carton shaped box. Shaking the box, I slowly bend down and crawl toward the table. “Come on, Jake. Give me the mask, and you can have a tasty treat.” Jake tilts his head to one side, causing his ear to flop over, but he doesn’t let go of his prize.

I resort to taking out one of the disgusting liver treats and holding it up to his nose. “Jakey boy, drop it. Then you can have a treat; don’t you want it?” Boy, if the kids at school could see me now. Here I am, sitting on the floor, holding a liver treat, talking to a dog, with my kid brother going into hysterics behind me. Yes, I live the good life. Just as Jake is about to take me up on my offer and drop the mask for the treat, the phone rings.

“Damn it!” I curse as Jake scurries past me toward the living room with Seth hot on his heels. I grab the phone and yell “HELLO!” into the receiver.

“Wow, aren’t we in a festive mood tonight.”

“Oh, hello, Alice,” I seethe. Alice is my best friend. She and I have known each other since 2nd grade. She was with me when my mom died, and she has been my friend through many a long night since then. I, however, am jealous as hell that she is going to the Lauren "My Ass is Showing" Mallory Halloween party and I am not. “What’s going on, Alice, are you not ready for the party?” I'm REALLY trying to sound sweet, but it just comes out as bitchy.

“Well, I was going to tell you all about my costume, but if you are going to be a bitch, I guess I'll let you go.”

I can tell she is about to hang up, and I quickly let out a breath and say, “No, don’t hang up. What are you wearing? Tell me all about it.” That’s all she needs. For the next 25 minutes I hear all about her wonderful costume, and how great it makes her boobs and ass look. I throw in an “OH” and an “AHA” every once in a while just so she thinks I am listening, but really I am using this time to finally make dinner.

It is almost time to head out for trick or treating, and Seth needs to eat or he will fill up on candy. Just as the noodles are almost perfect, I hear the beep on the phone indicating that I have another phone call. “Hold on, Alice,” I interrupt, “I need to get this. It might be my dad.” I click over to hear Mike laughing on the other end of the line. “Hello?” I say.

“Oh, Bella. Hi. I didn’t realize that you had answered. So anyway, I'm not going to be able to come over tonight. My mom needs me to update the inventory. Sorry, honey.”

I hear someone in the background, and ask, “Is that your mom with you now? Doesn’t she know that tonight is Halloween? Can’t you do the inventory tomorrow night?” I know I sound pathetic, but damn it, inventory? Seriously? I hear him cup his hand over the receiver and whisper something in the background.

“No, hun. She says it must be done tonight seeing that it is the end of the month and all.”

What I am doing is obviously not working, so I try a new tactic…guilt. “Well, OK. I guess I will just have to take Seth out alone in the dark night. I sure hope nothing happens to us.” I wait hesitantly for his answer.

“You’ll be fine. OK. See you tomorrow.” With that, he hangs up.

Well that is just great. I hang up the phone with a slam, and it rings again almost immediately. “What? Did you change your mind?” I screech.

“God, Bella! What has gotten into you tonight?” It was Alice. I forgot that she was on the other line.

“Sorry again, Alice. I am just a bit pissed. Mike cancelled on me again. Said something about his mom needing him to do inventory.” Seth strolls into the kitchen and plops down on a chair. He now has the mask on his head, and I can clearly see two bite marks by the eyes. I pull the mask off and hand him a plate of spaghetti.

Alice sighs, “Bella, that’s horrible. You can’t be alone on Halloween. That’s just wrong. I hate Mike and his inventory loving mother. I mean seriously, how many times a month do you need to do inventory?”

I knew what she was trying to say, but I really didn’t want to think about that right now. “Don’t worry about me. ‘Holy’ Freddie Kruger and I will be just fine,” I chide as I rub Seth’s messy hair.

“Who?” asks Alice, “Bella, why don’t I just skip the party? It is not as if it will be fun without you anyway. We can take Seth out, and then come back to your place for a movie and candy raiding. What do you think?”

I must admit. The compassionate side of me wants to tell her to go ahead to the party and have a great time, but the jealous, possessive side of me is jumping for joy. Possessive Bella wins. “Alice, I don’t want you to miss the party, but that would be great!” I throw that first part in for good measure just so I don't feel too guilty. “Can you come over right away?”

“Now wait just a minute, missy. I have a few demands before I agree to give up my fabulous evening for you,” Alice discloses.

I know that voice, and I know that she will be asking me to do something completely out of my element. “Alice, please. Don’t you love me?" I pause and wait for her response, but I am sure there will not be one. "OK, fine. What do you want me to do?”

I can hear her hands clapping the moment the words leave my mouth. “Bella, this will be so much fun! I'll be over in five minutes; don’t worry about a thing.” As her words sink in, I hear the phone click. I know my fate is sealed.

I am just finishing the dishes when I hear Alice’s car pull up in the driveway. It takes her all of 30 seconds to fly from her car to my door. God, did she have caffeine today? If so I am a dead woman, I think to myself as she throws open the door.

“OK. We have to hurry. People are already starting to trick or treat. I want us out there in 10 minutes. What are you waiting on, Bella? MOVE IT.”

I stand, frozen in my spot. “What on Earth are you wearing?” Alice is dressed in what can only be described as a cross between Princess Leia in her golden bikini and a stripper. I have never seen so much skin in my life.

“Bella, I told you all about my costume. Remember?” she says, looking crossly at me.

That's right. I was supposed to have been listening. “Oh, I know, but….aren’t you going to be cold?” Good recovery, Bella.

“Oh come on, silly, we have a lot to do to get you ready,” she teases, grabbing my arm, trying to lead me up the stairs.

HOLY HELL NO! That is not going to happen. “Alice, you have got to be out of your mind. I am not going to wear ANYTHING like THAT out in the street.” I actually stomp my foot at her.

She just shakes her head. “Well, of course not. There can only be one Princess Leia. You are going to borrow my brother’s costume. You'll be Luke Skywalker.” I follow her frantic pace up the stairs and into the bathroom where she immediately starts tugging off my shirt and pants.

“I am going to be a boy?” I ask in a state of shock.

She looks at me with a devilish grin, “Well, I am giving up a kick ass party to come and sit in with your sorry ass all night.” I chuckle, and she continues throwing my costume together. I remind myself that it is just for one night, and I am very grateful for the company.

About the time she is strapping on my lightsaber, I hear Seth calling, “Beeelllllaaaa, huuurrrry! We're going to miss all the good candy.” We descend the stairs and see that Seth has dressed up Jake as a ghost by cutting a hole in a pillow case and sticking his head through the opening.

“Seth, that was one of our good sheet sets!” I yell at him.

“BUT BELLA...Jake doesn’t want to miss all the fun.” As if on cue Jake barks and licks Freddy Kruger right on the lips.

“OK, then,” I sigh. There's no point yelling any more; it's already done. “Let’s get going,” I say. As we walk out, I turn out the porch light and lock the door.

Seth looks up at me and asks, “Bella, why are you dressed as a boy?”

“Shut up, Seth, or we will go right back inside and only hand out candy. Where to first?” I ask, and Seth and Jake take off down the street. Alice and I follow while we talk and giggle about our costumes.

There are lots of families out tonight. It always makes me a little sad around holidays. I remember all the fun times I had with my mom. We were a family then. I know this is the real reason Alice stayed with me, but I don’t mind. I just hope that she won't be sorry later that she didn’t end up going to the party. I really am glad she is here. Even if I am dressed as a boy.

Our little foursome continues on through the neighborhood like this for a good 45 minutes. I keep a close eye on Seth, as he is known for wandering off, and the good lord knows that wherever he goes Jake will follow. I have to admit, we are all having a good time until I suddenly realize where we are. “Alice, I don’t think this is a good idea,” I caution as I see her steps quicken, and I recognize the devious glint in her eye.

“Oh, come on, Bella. What’s the worst that could happen? I mean seriously. I need someone besides Mrs. Johnson to see my fucktabulous outfit,” she exclaims, waving her hands up and down her body.

I roll my eyes at her and point out the obvious flaw in her plan. “Hello! Alice did you forget that I'm dressed as a fucking dude? Jessica and Lauren will NEVER let me live this shit down at school and you know it.”

Seth picks that moment to start listening to the conversation and yells, “I'm gonna tell Dad. You just said ‘fucking’ and ‘shit’. You're gonna be in 're gonna be in trouble,” he continues in a singsong voice for a few strides, looking back over his shoulder at me.

“Fine, Seth. Go trick or treat at Lauren’s party. I bet she gives you a disease instead of candy, but Alice is going to walk you to the door. I am not going near that place.” I fold my arms across my chest and watch as the three of them scamper off toward the door of the one place in the world I don't want to be tonight.

Sure enough, Lauren answers the door in an outfit that could make her a hundred dollars if she stepped out onto the nearest corner. Seth yells as loud as he can straight in her face, “Trick or Treat!” As she takes a cautious step back, I giggle to myself.

She glances in my direction and waves at me. “Oh, hi, Bella. I didn’t know if you would show up. Why don’t you all come in?”

Like that is going to happen. “No. But thanks anyway, Lauren, I am taking….” As the words are about to come tumbling out of my mouth, I see a sight that leaves me speechless. There in the background, laughing and having a grinding good time with Jessica, is MY boyfriend.

“Hey Mikey, I’m not finished bobbing for your apples,” she says as she grabs his hips and kisses him roughly on the neck. My eyes must have shown my distaste at the scene before me, because Lauren takes a look at the spectacle behind her and smiles from ear to ear.

“Well, if you don’t want to come in, I'll just tell everyone you said hello.” It’s too late. She knows that she has gotten the best of me, so I take off down the street, my stupid lightsaber dragging the ground. I can hear Alice yelling something, but I am too embarrassed to care. I round the corner and stop, trying to catch my breath and hold off my tears. I really don’t want to cry and ruin Seth’s fun, but my eyes have different plans.

“Bella, hold up. Don’t even think about him. He is so not worth it," Alice cries. "Did you see what Lauren was wearing? I've seen more clothes on a stripper.”

Suddenly, I can’t help but laugh. Alice in her golden bikini is bad mouthing Lauren’s choice of outfits? Alice looks at me as if I have lost my mind, and then she realizes why I am laughing.

“Yeah, I guess I am one to talk, but hey, really. Don’t worry about him, I knew he was pond scum,” she says, still looking at me, concerned.

I give her a pleading look to just drop it, and then realize that Seth and Jake are not with her. “Alice, where is Seth?” I panic, looking in all directions.

“He couldn’t have gotten far. He was right behind me when we came after you,” she yells, looking around with me.

That does not make me feel better. Seth can get lost in no time. “We’ve got to find him, Alice. He gets scared when he's alone.” We run off down the street, checking behind every parked car and bush. Just when I am about to pull out my phone and call my dad, I see a small ghost puppy running up the drive to the Cullen mansion. “Seth! NO! STOP RIGHT THERE!” He obviously can't hear us. Shit!

The Cullen mansion has long been the place of many a child’s nightmares. As long as I have been alive, no one has ever lived there. It just sits there, looking empty and scary. It has been the subject of countless ghost and monster stories over the years.

All that changed when a new family moved into the huge house. We had never seen any adults but two new kids turned up a couple of weeks ago at Forks High School. Nothing stays a secret for long in a small town, and everyone immediately knew that the two new boys in school had moved into the old Cullen place.

The boys have been the talk of the town every day since then. Their names are Edward and Jasper Cullen. No one knows if they are relatives of the original owners, or if it is mere coincidence that they share the mansion’s name. Everyone has a theory on the mystery.

We have been going to the same high school now for 10 days, and not one person, outside of the office staff and a few teachers, has ever heard them speak. Sure, many girls have tried to get close enough for a conversation, but neither of the boys seems the least bit interested in anyone.

They are absolutely beautiful, but at the same time extremely intimidating. Most of us at school have decided to leave them alone, which they seem fine with. I rarely talk to anyone anyway, other than Alice, of course, so it's not hard for me to fade into the background.

I do, however, take every opportunity to watch Edward without him noticing. He is by far the most gorgeous boy I have ever seen. I catch him looking at me from time to time as well, but I always look away because to be honest, he scares the shit out of me. One look from him, and I get shaky and nervous. The really weird thing about it is that he seems to know he gets to me. It's almost like he likes it, and so for the past few weeks he has been my secret obsession.

Now, as if this night could get any worse, my brother is going to knock on his door and beg for candy. “Seth, what are you doing?” I couldn’t help but yell out.

Without even looking back at my warning, he calls out, “But Bella, they GOT to have the good candy here in this huge fancy house. I'll bet they are loaded.” As the words are coming out of his mouth, he rings the bell.

I race to the house as fast as my legs will go only to get there at the moment the door flies open, “Don’t you fucking see that our porch light is off? What the fuck do you want?” The angry man with the wild bronze hair continues to rattle off curses as we all stand in shock, staring at him. “WELL? Are you going to leave? Or am I going to have to fucking TRICK you... get the fuck off my porch!”

Once again we are stunned into silence. Seth is the first to react by stating in a quiet whisper, “trick or treat?” and Jake barks.

I suddenly get my wits back and stand in front of Seth, shielding him from the death glare being sent our way. “What is wrong with you? I'm sorry my little brother interrupted your evening, but we'll be leaving now.” This has been the worst evening! I turn and start walking down the steps, desperate to get away, when Edward grabs my arm and forces me to look into his lethal looking eyes. We stay this way for a very uncomfortable moment and his eyes almost seem to be trying to see my soul. “Please let go of me. You’re scaring my brother.” I feel the hairs on my arm rising. We have got to get out of here.

A second later, Edward's brother Jasper appears at the door. “Edward, let her go.” When Edward doesn’t release me, he says a little more forcefully, “Edward, back off.” He ends up having to physically remove Edward’s fingers from my arm. I raise my eyebrow at Jasper in confusion and rub my arm. I am pretty sure I will have a bruise there tomorrow.

Jasper looks down at me with a smile and then glances at Alice. They share a long stare, and he doesn't look away from her when he says, “I am so sorry for my brother’s rude behavior. We were not expecting trick or treaters tonight. We have just moved in and have not had the chance to buy candy.”

I guess that sounds reasonable, but why is Edward looking at me like I killed his favorite cat? I have never seen a glare so terrifying in my life. I just want to get the hell out of here and go home. I am still rubbing my arm where he had gripped me when I notice Alice, who is stuck in some kind of trance with Jasper. I can't get her attention. “It’s fine. No problem. We were just leaving. RIGHT, ALICE?” I say in a loud voice.

Seth has other plans, as usual. “We’re not leaving. It's Halloween, and if you don’t have a treat, then you'll just have to get a trick.” Honestly, the boy doesn't have any manners.

I grab his arm and start walking down the path. “Shut up, Seth! We are leaving. COME ON, ALICE!” What the fuck is wrong with her? She and Jasper look to be having some kind of mental moment. Neither of them will break the gaze. Finally, Jake walks over to Jasper and lifts his leg. Before I can stop him, Jasper has warm liquid running down his pant leg and into his shoe.

This draws him out of his Alice coma, and he chuckles, “Well, I guess that is my trick. Hold on a minute. I think we have something that would work for you.” He turns to leave, breaking the spell he had over Alice.

She looks at me with the goofiest smile I have ever seen, but she doesn't make a move to leave the porch. “Come on, Alice. Let’s just get out of here,” I whisper. I notice that Edward is now grabbing the porch railing with both hands. It looks like that is the only thing keeping him from coming at me again.

Jasper returns to the door. He hands Alice something and states, “It’s not much, but hopefully you will forgive us of our lack of manners.”

As Alice takes the object, Jasper reaches for her hand. I swear I thought he was going to kiss it, but instead he takes a long sniff. “My darling, you do smell so sweet. I could just taste you forever." Alice just giggles and races down the steps to meet me. “Good night, Jasper. See you in school.”

He taps his head and bows while saying, “Not if I see you sooner, darling.”

Alice staggers down the steps, continuing to look back at the house. I don’t look back at all. The further away we are the better. Seth starts complaining that I am walking too fast, and that I need to slow down. I grab his arm again and yell, “What were you thinking? We don’t even know them. You know you are not supposed to go to houses with the porch light off!” I am glaring at him, still annoyed and angry.

Seth just shrugs and asks, “Hey, Alice. What did he give me?” My eyes open wide as he just ignores my ranting. Oh yeah, that’s right, I don’t exist!

Alice holds out the object, but she still has a dorky smile on her face. Seth grabs it, but Alice refuses to let go. “Come on, Alice, hand it over. You know he gave it to me,” Seth whines. Alice lets go, and Seth looks at what it is. “A documentary on the Civil War? You've got to be kidding me. Where are these people from, Mars?” He raises the DVD above his head to throw it away, but Alice jumps into action, tackling him and snatching it from his hands.

“OH NO YOU DON’T! If you don’t want it, I'm taking it.” She hugs the DVD to her chest.

I roll my eyes at her, “Whatever. Let’s just go home. I have had about enough Halloween for one night.” Surprisingly, Seth does not argue. He is already digging in his bag looking for the perfect piece of candy. “Not until we get home, Seth. You know we have to check out all the candy before you can eat any.” He grumbles something under his breath, but closes his bag.

We walk home listening to Alice ramble on about how hot she thinks Jasper is. I even catch Seth smirking as he runs on ahead with Jake.

Once we are home, we all get out of our costumes. I am relieved to get into something more comfortable; the collar was making me itch.

Alice will not stop talking about how sexy she thinks Jasper was back at the Cullen mansion. She refuses to go anywhere without the DVD he gave us. I am amazed that she isn’t shocked by the strange behavior of Edward, but when I bring it up, she just rolls her eyes.

She does take this opportunity to mull over the horrible sight we witnessed at Lauren’s party. “So, what are you going to do about Mike? Do you think he'll call you?” she asks.

I sigh and reply, “I don’t even think he saw me, and besides, what can I say? I shouldn’t expect him to give up his teenage years for me.” This is actually a lie, because of course I expected him to stand by me. We were supposed to be in love, and isn’t that what you do? However, I don’t want to voice my silly insecurities, even to Alice.

As if on cue Alice responds, “Oh Bella, of course he is supposed to be with you. If he loves you, he would be where you are no matter what. If I were you, I would…”

I cut her off before she can go any further. I have always known that Alice doesn’t really care for Mike. She is always making comments about why he does he have to work so late, or why isn’t he taking me to the movies instead of going with his friends. Alice believes in True Love, and she doesn’t understand my relationship with Mike. I need him. He makes me feel young and pretty. No one at school had even noticed me before him. If he wasn’t in my life, I would feel alone again. “Let’s just not talk about it anymore. I'm sure I will think of something,” I plead.

“Well, he did see you. I made sure he knew we were there," she says with a devilish look in her eye.

“Alice, what did you do?” I feel my stomach starting to churn. I really didn’t want to confront Mike with anything. I was happy in my denial about him dancing with Jessica.

“Oh, don’t worry so much, Bella. I merely pointed out the fact that he was the biggest dick in Forks County, and threw a chocolate bar at his head. He ducked, of course, and it ended up smacking Jessica on the cheek,” Alice smirked at me.

The thought about what had happened after my quick departure both sickens and pleases me. I have to admit that seeing that slut get smacked with a piece of candy would have been priceless. We are both quiet for a few seconds, but then I look at Alice and we both burst into a fit of laughter.

Seth storms into the room demanding that we check his candy, and the rest of the night is pleasant. We watch a few scary movies, eat some popcorn and as much candy as we can before we are all sick.

Charlie calls around 11:30 saying that he is going to have to stay out a bit later. There have been more reports of breaking and entering in several houses in the area. Things were getting a bit weird in Forks. Many people have reported waking up in the middle of the night with a dark figure lingering by their beds. The strange thing is that when they go to turn on the light, nothing is there. Charlie mumbled under his breath one night that he thinks he needs to start up a drug investigation unit in Forks, because there were definitely a lot of residents acting like they were on something.

My father has already investigated about seven different cases, and he claims to have no leads. The thought of this puts me ill at ease, and I ask Alice to spend the night. She tends to stay a lot and pretty much has taken over the guest room downstairs. Knowing she was staying when Charlie worked nights so much made me feel better. I am lucky that Alice’s parents feel sorry for me, and even Dad didn’t mind Alice staying over so much. I don’t know what I would do without her friendship. It has been so hard since mom died.

After the credits roll for Halloween III, I notice that Seth is passed out on the floor. He has a lollipop hanging out of his mouth, and I silently hope he doesn’t get a cavity, because I am the one who will have to deal with it.

Alice helps me get him into bed, and we both head back down the hall. “Thanks for staying over, Alice, and for everything. I really wish I could have been there to see you throw that candy.”

We hug and Alice murmurs, “Anytime for you, Bella, you know that.” She releases me and gives me a small smile and walks back down the stairs to the guest room.

I am exhausted after a very emotionally charged night, I go and brush my teeth and stare at myself in the mirror thinking about that Cullen mansion tonight. Edward had been so strange. I just couldn’t stop thinking about him; it was driving me crazy. I realize that I know nothing about him, and I climb into my soft comfy bed, falling asleep almost as soon as my head hits the pillow.

I wake up with a start at a loud noise. I grab my blanket and wrap it around my body in fright. The noise came from outside; it is dark inside and out, and I can only make out shadows with the little bit of moonlight that filters in from outside. I see a shadow move and my window starts to slide open.

Shit, what the fuck is going on? I open my mouth to scream but nothing comes out. My breathing hitches and I can't believe my eyes as Edward Cullen begins to climb into my bedroom window.

“What are you doing here?” I breathe. My voice is hoarse, and I am scared out of my mind.

He freezes on the windowsill, putting his finger to his lips to tell me to be quiet.

“Please, please don’t hurt me,” I say, shaking in my bed. I pull the covers tighter around my body. My eyes are darting around the room looking for anything to grab to defend myself with. Fuck, where is my brother’s baseball bat when I need it? I am always tripping over the freaking thing. My heart is going a million miles a minute. I can feel the bile rising up in my throat from the panic.

“I am not going to hurt you, Bella, I would never do that.” His voice is smooth and reassuring. After his reaction at his house tonight, though, I'm not sure if I should let my guard down or scream for my dad.

He climbs the rest of the way in my window. My eyes widen at how graceful he is; it shocks me how smoothly he enters my room. Edward smiles at me again, but I am still a little afraid. What does he want? Why would he climb in my window in the middle of the night if he isn’t here to hurt me?

“Please don’t, I.. I.. I am begging you. Please just go.. I won’t tell anyone I saw you here.” My eyes plead with him; my voice wobbles. “Please leave me alone.”

Edward approaches the bed so quickly I don't even register the movement until he sits down.

“Relax, Bella, I am not here to hurt you,” he says soothingly. He reaches over and tucks a loose strand of my hair behind my ear.

A shiver runs down my spine as I feel his fingertips. He smirks at the reaction and leans in closer. I can feel his breath on my face.

I can't help but move towards him and close the distance between our lips. He kisses my lips lightly; his are so soft. I can feel the stubble of his chin on my cheek, and I like it. It feels so different, not at all what I am used to with Mike.

Edward pushes me back gently on the bed and runs his hands down my arm. I shift my body over to allow him room and better access. I have never a guy in my bedroom. Mike had always tried to get upstairs, but my father would have killed him if he even stepped foot up the stairs. I wasn’t ready for that type of relationship, or so I thought.

I want Edward; he feels so good, so right, as he presses his body onto mine on the bed. I want to get rid of the blanket, and I try to push it down. I want to give him better access to my body. I want to feel more of his body. He makes me feel so good.

He breaks his kiss and starts down my neck. The pit of my stomach is in a knot. I want more. I need him to touch me. I have never felt so alive.

“Oh, Bella. God, you feel good,” he groans into my ear. He sucks on my earlobe and I moan out loud, my body squirming against his. I need more.

I try to give him the message that he can continue by running my hands under his t-shirt. The muscles on his back flex, and they feel so smooth. Oh god, his body is amazing.

Edward pulls back and I sit up a little, letting the blanket fall to my lap. Edward’s eyes are smoldering as he casts his eyes over me. When he looks back up at my face, he looks into my eyes. I am lost in them. He reaches down to the bottom hem of his shirt and strips it off. “Do you mind?” he asks, suddenly sounding unsure of himself.

I am lost for words. I have no coherent thoughts running through my mind as my eyes take in his chest and then lower to the dark hair and muscles that are sculptured on his body just above his jeans. I can feel myself getting wet. I can’t believe this is happening.

What does he expect from me? How far does he want to go? Is he just planning on using me for a quick fuck? Shit, what am I doing?

Just as I am about to put a stop to this and my senses slowly came back to me, I feel his lips back on my neck, just below my ear and his hand on my stomach where my t-shirt has risen a bit, and those thoughts leave my mind again. I moan and wiggle; his hands creep higher and I want him to go higher still. I am willing him to keep going in my head. I wiggle a little more and he gets the idea, cupping the bottom of my breast, palming it.

I moan a little as I feel his breath in my ear, "You are going to need to stay very quiet and still. I am going to make you feel so good, but you must not move. Is that clear, Isabella?"

His lips travel along my jaw, I close my eyes as his lips find mine and I attack his lips hungrily. I have never kissed anyone like this before. I am desperate as his fingers find my nipple, rolling it between his fingers; my back archeson its own. This is all the encouragement Edward needs to continue.

He starts massaging my other breast as he did the first, and I find it so hard to stay quiet. I press into him trying to get closer. He rolls on top of me a little, and I love the feeling of his weight on me.

His hand leaves my breast, and I immediately miss it. Edward gazes into my eyes, asking me a silent question as his hands slide down my body, over my stomach, and across my belly button. His fingertips graze the elastic of my pajama bottoms. I am so hot and damp. I want them off.

I shift my hips a bit to try and move them off, breaking the kiss in my efforts. Edward moves back to my ear, "Isabella, what did I tell you..." he scolds quietly, “I... am going to make you feel so good, but you must stay quiet.”

He takes my earlobe into his mouth again and gently sucks. My breathing gets more erratic as he slides my pants over my hips and down my legs. I am left in only my panties and shirt.

I shift my legs apart a little, giving him better access. I turn my head to him and run my hands down his chest feeling his abs, muscle by muscle. He groans into my mouth. I reach the tops of his jeans and finger the button.

“Bella,” he whispers, “you don’t have to,” kissing me again on the lips. “Not tonight at least,” and kisses me again, sucking my bottom lip into his mouth.

His hand moves to my back, rolling me to the side and pulling me closer to him, I feel him slowly move it down my hip over the top of the elastic of my panties, over my arse cheek cupping it, and digging his fingers in slightly.

I squirm a little at his touch. Edward moves down a little bit more to the top of my thigh, gripping it and moving it so my leg is now over his hip.

God, that feels good. I feel his fingers touch me between my legs playing with the crease in my panties.

“God, Bella, you're so wet.” His fingers starts rubbing over my folds. Oh, the noises I am starting to make.

I am starting to squirm more, I can't get enough. I have never felt so good. I want so much more.

He pushes my panties over to the side and slides his fingers into my pussy lips. He groans into my mouth as I gasp out in pleasure. I have never realized it could feel so good. This is like heaven; I never want it to end.

There is a loud bang and we both freeze and look at each other in shock. I hear it again, and I wake up with a start. I have my hands down my pants and I am alone in my bed. I almost want to cry in frustration. It's all been a dream! I am so disappointed.

I hear the noise again and I pull my hand out from my panties and pajamas. I look around for the baseball bat again. It feels like déja vu. I am not as scared as I was in my dream, especially if it really is Edward Cullen climbing in my window.

I look toward the window, but get out of bed as I hear another crash and bang. It wasn't this noisy in my dream. I am a little bit scared. With the recent break-ins, I am not sure if Charlie has returned home or not.

I quickly swing my legs out of bed and grab the lamp and hold it upside down. I yelp a little as the window begins to slide up and I can see a figure coming into view. I am praying that the tree branch will snap.

I grip the lamp shade tighter, ready to smash it on his head when I hear him moan, "Bella, for the love of God, help me, would ya?"

Mike? What the hell?

I quickly put the lamp back on the side table and run to the window to help the idiot before he wakes the whole neighbourhood, let alone the household. I open the window all the way and grab his arm. God, he is heavy.

Mike accidentally kicks the wall to the house with his shoe. Shit!

I pull Mike all the way in the house and he pretty much falls into my room with a thud. "Ouch!" Mike yells out.

"Shh! You're going to wake the house," I get a little cross at him. When he is close enough that I can smell his breath, I recoil in horror. Has he been drinking? "Are you drunk?" I accuse him.

Well this is fabulous. Mike breaks into his soon to be ex-girlfriend's house and has been involved in underage drinking when said girlfriend's father is the chief of police. Does this boy even have a brain?

"I love you, Bella," he pretty much falls into me as he tries to stand up, "it wasn't my fault, Jessica was all over me. I don't want anybody but you, honey." He is pretty much pushing me back to my bed.

"Mike, get off of me," I whisper harshly back. "If you loved me and wanted me you wouldn't have been at that damn party anyway." I glare at him. "I thought you were helping your mom at the store tonight?"

Mike looks at me in confusion. Oh, yeah that's right, I have your number now; you're busted. "There was no inventory was there, Mike?" I seethe at him.

"Bella, I'm sorry, you're right I... I... I just wanted to go out and have some fun," he stutters. At least he has the decency to actually look ashamed, which makes me feel a little better.

"You know you could have spoken to me about this, I would have been hurt but I would have understood. It can't be easy dating me," I say, feeling sad. Were we over?

"Bella, honey, I love you and only you." He runs his fingers through my hair leaning in for a kiss. His breath reeks of beer. I hate the taste of it at the best of times. I actually have to fight not to cringe as he leans in and brushes my lips, causing him to trip over me, making us fall in a heap onto the bed.

"Shhh," I nudge him in the ribs as we are now a heap on my bed, "Mike you need to be quiet before you wake the whole house up." I don't even think he registered that I had spoken as I watch his eyes glaze over ,and he pretty much starts groping me through my clothes. Ugh!

I am not even sure I have forgiven him yet! "Mike," I try wiggling underneath him to get up, "not now!"

"Let me try to make it up to you, honey, I truly am sorry, you know."

He actually has the gall to think that puppy dog eyes will work in this situation. I look up at him crossly.

"Please," leaning in to kiss me, "please honey, I want to make you feel good. I promise I won't hurt you."

I close my eyes, I place my hands on his chest and try to push him off of me, but he is dead weight. "Mike, get off of me," I growl and turn my head to the side, fighting the urge to gag at the stench of stale beer.

Mike begins slobbering all over my neck, when I hear Jake starting to howl at my door.

"Shit, Mike! Mike!" I struggle in earnest to get up. I manage to push him off and he falls to the floor with a thud.

I look over the edge of the bed, fear in my eyes. "You had better get out of here, right now. If Charlie catches you in here you are one dead ex-boyfriend." I say to him smugly.

"Aw, Bella honey, don't be like that," Mike pleads with me.

"Mike, get out of here. Now." I am getting pissed that he is even here in my bedroom, and now I am going to be getting in trouble for his actions. I'm going to be grounded for weeks!

"Bella!" Charlie's voice can be heard over Jake's howling, "Bella, open this door now!" I can see the door knob turning. Thank god I always lock the door.

"Hang on a minute, Dad!" I shout out.

"Open this door now, Bella," Charlie is getting irritated.

Mike is mumbling something into my neck that I can’t make out .

“Yeah I am coming, Dad,” I yell over the sound of Jake's howling. I scramble up off the floor and 'accidently' tread on Mike's hand in the process.

“Owwww!” Mike yells out.

“Bella? Bella? Have you got someone in there?” I hear Charlie thumping on the door, “Open this door now, young lady!”

Mike gets up with a fear in his eyes as he runs to my window and pretty much falls out of the second story window.

“Shit,” I yell out and run after him to make sure he is all right.

I look out, worried he is dead. I can see him moving in the bush below; it obviously broke his fall. Oh, my god, this wasn’t good.

More pounding on the door, followed by Jake's howl, “Bella!” Charlie yells.

With Mike out of the room, I'm thinking it is pretty safe to let Charlie in. I run over and unlock the door, trying to look innocent as a red faced Charlie looks around my room and sees the open window. He brushes past me and marches up to the window. Looking past Charlie, I can make out Mike hobbling down the street away from our house.

Charlie leans out the window and yells at the top of his voice, "Michael Newton! I can see you, boy! Keep running because you’re dead when I get my hands on you!" The noise starts up all the other dogs in the neighbourhood. Mike hobbles faster.

I just stand there speechless, with my jaw hanging open at what just happened. Jake trots over to the window and sits up next to Charlie with his paws on the windowsill, wagging his tail and looking after Mike. God, it was actually comical.

I let out a little giggle and Charlie quickly turns and glares at me. He is not happy with me at all.

Shit! I was in for it now.

The Cave

APOV

“Damn... stupid, freaking brother...” I mumbled to myself. It was getting dark and cold and I had no idea where I was. Well, I had some idea, I was in the forest. Why, had I agreed to go hiking with him?

We had gotten into an argument because he had wanted to go in one direction, and I wanted to go in another one. I just couldn’t help it. And now I was fucking lost. Great! I could just imagine what he was going to say when I eventually got back to civilization. I was never going to live this down.

“Arghhh!” I screamed. I walked into a damn spider web! I needed to get away from all the bugs, snakes, bears…BEARS?! I felt my eyes open wide in terror. Okay, Alice, calm down. I had to take deep breaths. I knew I could survive this. I was going to be fine.

Why hadn’t I just gone shopping? I loved shopping! And they had bathrooms! Oh, right, mummy and daddy dear said I need to spend some more time with Emmett. Who knew he would choose to go hiking? “Come on Alice, It will be fun!” I had trusted him, and for once in my life, decided to go with what he wanted. It would be the first and last time I would ever do such a thing.

I kept walking, trying to decide what to do. Should I go back and find the fork in the trail to follow Emmett? Would I even find the trail? Why did I go hiking in these six-inch boots? Maybe, comfort and practicality was better than fashion sometimes? Who was I kidding? These boots were sexy, and were worth all its pain that I was enduring.

I suddenly heard the bushes next to me move. The rustling was getting louder, closer. My breathing stopped as I tried to listen. It’s nothing. It was something harmless. What was a large, cute creature that could be out here? A kangaroo? I rolled my eyes. Sure, if I was in fucking Australia!

Then I heard it again. It was louder and it was coming straight for me. Letting out the breath I had been holding, I screamed as loud as I could. Run. I turned, running off the trail. I didn’t even dare to look. I didn’t want to know what was going to eat me!

Whatever it was, I knew it was gaining on me. It was louder, faster, stronger. I pushed my legs further, until the earth was coming up to meet my face. Damnit. I felt hot tears sting my eyes, out of all the million ways to die… before I felt two strong arms wrap around my waist.

EPOV

I loved the weekends. It was my chance to escape and get out of my life. As much as I enjoyed myself during the week, I longed for the weekends. I preferred small towns. It felt more like home to me than the busy, fast pace of the city. I loved the outdoors, hiking, and skiing. In fact, I don’t think there was anything I wouldn’t try.

I sighed, bringing myself back to my surroundings. Looking up to the sky, I noticed it was starting to get late and the weather appeared to be closing in. It was starting to grow dark a little earlier than usual and a storm was going to hit after all. I was disappointed. I didn’t want to cut my weekend short, but I had to start heading back to the car.

I turned to head back on a different trail. I knew these woods well, and I had spent a lot of time in them recently. It was only a few hours drive away. It was close enough to my apartment, but far enough away to allow me to feel completely refreshed and relaxed.

I was lost in my own thoughts as I cut through the forest to find the trail that I knew was up ahead. With this storm coming over head I wanted to get back as fast as I could.

I looked up finding in front of me the most beautiful girl I had seen, and I had seen a few. She was a small girl, petite, with dark short spiky hair. She was wearing clothes that weren’t really suitable for hiking which made her look completely out of place standing there frozen to the ground. I looked at her beautiful face and realized she was terrified.

Without even turning to look at me, the girl let out an ear piercing scream and ran off the trail and into the forest. What the hell was she thinking? The forest was only safe if you stuck to the trails.

I ran after her, yelling for her to stop, but she didn’t even slow down or acknowledge me. I groaned to myself, picking up the pace when I noticed the poison oak in front of her. Suddenly, she tripped, and I was lucky enough to of close the distance between us. I reached out for her, putting my arms around her tiny waist as I caught her.

I pulled her back up to her feet slowly, holding her against my body. I could smell her scent and it was intoxicating. I was trying to bring my breathing back to normal and it wasn’t helping.

She turned her head to look at me so I smiled at her, but she tried to pull free. I didn’t want to let her go; it felt nice to have her in my arms. I cleared my throat. “You were about to fall into the poison oak.” I told her.
Turning around she looked and let out a sigh. “Thanks,” She mumbled as she stepped out of my arms and to the side.

“You’re welcome,” I murmured, as a clap of thunder sounded over head and the rain started to fall.

We had to get out of this weather; it wasn’t safe to be walking around the forest in a thunder storm. My brain was working overtime as I remembered a little place nearby that would offer us shelter.

“Come on,” I said grabbing her hand. “Let’s get out of here.” as the rain got heavier, “We need to find shelter.” I started pulling her back up towards the trail. We were walking pretty quickly and I was surprised that she did a good job of keeping up, only stumbling once so I pulled her to my side.

Smiling down at her, she looked up into my face and I felt a sense of protectiveness because she looked cold, wet and lost. I kept us moving forward. We were almost there. I turned around a bend in the trail and saw the mouth of the cave, quickly pulling her inside.

I sat her down and took off my back pack; I laid it next to her and looked around, inspecting our surroundings.

Perfect, I thought to myself. It was dry and had a few twigs and leaves lying around. I quickly started gathering them to build a fire.

As I turned back to my bag to pull out the matches, I noticed that she was sitting there staring at me, with blue lips and shivering. I knew that I needed to get some warmth in to her before she got hypothermia. Finding the matches I went back to my pile of twigs, bending down I struck a match and lit the leaves at the bottom of the pile. This should hopefully get going in no time.

A flash of lightening lit up the cave and I realized that the storm was picking up in strength. It was pretty frightening out there and I was glad that we weren’t out there anymore.

I sighed again, turning back and heading over towards the girl. She was shaking like a leaf and I wanted to pull her in my arms again and try and warm her up. Yet, I didn’t even know her name.

“I’m Edward, by the way,” holding out my hand to shake hers.

“Alice.” She smiled at me even if her whole body was quivering.

“That should be starting to give off some heat in a minute or two.” I stated, motioning to the fire

“You really should get out of those clothes,” I started causing her eyes to pop out of her head. “to try and get them dry, of course,” I hurried along with my explanation.

“You’re turning blue. You need to try and get some heat back in your body. I have an emergency blanket, as well.” I said as I dug around in my bag for it.

“Wow!” she said as I turned to look at her. “You boy scouts really do come prepared,” she said smiling at me.

It seemed like we were teasing now. “Do you want to get warm and keep all your fingers and toes?” I asked smiling at her.

I stood up and sighed, as she started unbuttoning her shirt. She was mumbling under her breath something about shopping and killing someone.

I stared at her with my mouth gapping, causing her to raise an eyebrow at me. I knew I shouldn’t be watching her strip.

“Sorry,” I mumbled turning away from her. I stared out into the storm for a few minutes trying not to think about the half naked girl behind me. I heard the rustling of what I assumed was the emergency blanket being opened.

“You can turn around now,” I heard her say.

I slowly turned around and saw that her clothes were set up to dry on a rock in front of the fire. My gaze then moved to Alice. She was wrapped in the silver blanket standing beside the fire.

“Your turn to strip now,” she said with a smirk.

She was a confident little thing. I smiled back at her. “I only have one blanket,” I said as I moved closer to the fire.

“I can share.” She smiled coyly at me. “We wouldn’t want you to lose any of your fingers or toes now would we?”

That statement had come back to bite me hadn’t it? She was a witty little thing. I would give her that.

I stared into her eyes. I did not look away as I smirked at her, and started to unbutton my shirt. She smiled right back at me and I knew that she was enjoying every second of this little show. I shrugged my shirt off my shoulder and stood before her in nothing but my boots and trousers. Her eyes dropped to my torso and ran over my chest and arms, before coming back to meet my eyes.

She licked her bottom lip before biting it and then raised one of her eye brows glancing down at my trousers and back up into my eyes.

I bent over to take off my boots, making sure to untie the laces before kicking them off. I stood back up undoing my belt buckle. She smiled in anticipation as I reached for the tops of my trousers and undid the button, unzipping the fly and then letting them fall to my feet.

I stepped out of them, and stood in front of her in nothing but my boxers and socks. I spread my clothes out with hers to dry before I moved over and sat down on the ground beside her.

It was now her turn to stare and not look away. “I am going to freeze here if you don’t share that blanket with me.” I pointed out as I looked up at her.
She came to her senses and sat down next to me then opened up the blanket for me, causing her to shiver. I couldn’t help but stare when I noticed she was only wearing a matching set of bra and panties. I scooped her up causing her to gasp as I sat her on my lap. Her skin was very cold against my own so I quickly wrapped the blanket around the both of us.

She wiggled around in my lap, trying to get more comfortable, causing my body to instantly react. I obviously hadn’t thought this completely through. I needed to think about something else other than the beautiful girl in my lap or this was going to be embarrassing.

“So, Alice,” I started. “What brings you out here, on your own?” I gestured around us.

She groaned and took at deep breath. “I was out hiking with my brother, Emmett and we got into an argument about which way was the way back to the car.” She said taking another breath. “He went one way, I went another.”

“I am guessing he chose the right trail then?” I smirked. She turned her body around and glared at me. I immediately noticed that her lips were still blue from the cold. I wanted to warm them up with my own.

“Sorry, I am not complaining, mind you. We wouldn’t have met otherwise.” I said quickly, trying to get back on her good side.

She turned back around still stiff and shivering from head to toe. I need to warm her up. I brought my cold hands to her arms and quickly started rubbing them up and down trying to warm her up with the friction.

After a time, I started to feel the goose bumps fade away. It seemed like both of our bodies were starting to warm up and Alice was starting to relax in my arms. She leant her body back against mine and rested her head on my shoulder. I had to admit it was nice to have her in my arms.

“Edward,” she said quietly.

“Yes?” I murmured back.

“Thanks for looking after me,” She said turning her head towards me and kissing my jaw.

I brought my arms around her waist cuddling her back as I kissed her hair. “You’re welcome,” I answered as we settled back into silence.

I hadn’t realised my hands were making a circling motion on her stomach until she sighed and I looked down at her and stared into her eyes, seeing nothing but lust in them.

I bent down towards her kissing her softly on the lips then leaned back a bit gauging her reaction to it. I liked what I saw so I bent down and kissed her deeper, running my tongue along her bottom lip asking for entrance.

She opened her mouth and kissed me back with passion. I was a little surprised and thrilled to return it. I moved one of my hands up and stroked her breast. Her bra was still damp from the rain. I pulled away slightly and saw confusion in her eyes. Bringing my hands around to her back, and my eyes asking permission to undo her bra.
She took a deep breath nodding her head. I undo the strap, running my hands to the tops of her shoulders. I slowly slid the straps down, pulling her bra away from her body and tossing it out of the blanket on to the rock beside us.

I bent back down and kissed her on the lips with a sense of urgency. She eagerly returned the kiss, her mouth opening up, and our tongues were meeting and battling for dominance.

I slid my hands around her waist, again leaving one of them there circling the skin on her stomach while the other reached up to cup her cold breast. Massaging it firmly, I noticed that her nipples were rock hard and cold so I pinched it, earning a moan in my mouth before swapping to the other one and repeating the attention.

My cock had been growing hard ever since she had first sat in my lap. There was no way she couldn’t feel it and know how much she was turning me on.

As if she could sense what I was thinking, she wiggled her little bottom in my lap again. I let out a groan as she twisted her body around to straddle my waist, resting her hands on my chest and running them up and down my abs as she leaned over to kiss me.

I ran my hands down her back, grabbing the cheeks of her bottom and bringing her closer to me. We both groaned at the connection, even with my boxer shorts and her panties as thin barriers, I could feel her wetness. Her breasts were pressed into my chest and I could feel her hard nipples against my chest, making me harder.

My hand slowly slid over her hip and descended in between her legs. I could feel her soaked panties against my finger tips. She moved to grind into my hand, which made my cock twitch and grow even harder than its previously painful state.

Alice’s hands travelled to my shoulders, slowly caressing my body. They moved down to my chest feeling every muscle until her hands stopped at my stomach. She pulled away slightly to stare into my eyes before I felt her hands at the front of my boxers freeing my cock from its confines. Her small hand wrapped tightly around the base and slowly slid up to the tip. She rubbed her thumb over the head, spreading around the moisture that had gathered.

I hissed at the sensation trying to calm myself before I was coming then and there in her hand. I moved her panties to the side as she moved and positioned herself over my cock. Slowly I slid into her tight, wet pussy. She was so warm and it felt so good. I knew that I would never want to leave.

Alice began to move on top of me, slowly at first as my hands rested on her arse. “Edward,” she moaned “Faster.”

That excited me even further as I picked up the pace a little bit. I moved one of my hands to her clit and rubbed it softly, parting the folds and slipping my fingers inside.

Alice gasped and rode me more aggressively. Her breasts were bouncing against my chest as I found that little nub with my fingers and rubbed it. She screamed out in ecstasy and excitement, moving up and down my cock, quicker still. I wasn’t going to last much longer. I was so deep insider her that I could feel myself hitting the back of her walls. I was barely able to get out any words.

“Come for me baby.” I said breathlessly in her ear before pinching her clit. She let out a moan and with a final thrust, we reached our release together.

She was shuddering above me as I brought both my hands around her waist, holding her close. I didn’t pull out, wanting to savour our connected as long as I could.

“Well, that is one way to keep warm,” I smiled down at her. Giggling she buried her head into my shoulder.
