Chapter 6- We're in this car for how many miles?

Chapter 6 – We’re in this car for how many miles?

I arrived at the airport about twenty minutes before Renee’s plane was scheduled to land. I had stopped at Starbucks on the way because I needed some caffeine and knew Renee would need something to help keep her warm, she was after all only used to warm weather. With my cappuccino and Renee’s latte in hand, I headed toward the baggage area. I looked at the board and noticed that her flight was on time, so I went and found myself a bench. I had only been sitting for about 10 minutes when I saw the board change, her flight had landed and baggage would be at baggage area 6, so I wandered down the terminal to find it

I waited for a few minutes, getting a little anxious to finally see her. I had known that she missed me while I was out here, but now the realization of how much I had truly missed her hit me full force. I knew that Edward, Alice and of course school had filled up most of my time. I guess I just hadn’t realized how much of my time was really spent with my two best friends; the two of them kept me from realizing how much I missed her, until now.

I didn’t want to think about Edward and all the ways he had taken up my time. Why did his name and memories always come up?

I needed to get to Dartmout and quickly. I needed a space that wasn’t filled with Edward. Otherwise I’d lose my mind and run back to Forks, which meant that I would be running back to Edward, and to hell with everyone else.

I could tell I had hurt him badly; I could see it in his eyes. He was totally unprepared for what I said. I felt evil for making him think that I wanted to date other guys. I just felt like that was the best way to force him to let me go and start getting over me.

Of course, the pain I was feeling was unbearable, so it was a little hard to convince myself that all of this was the best idea. It was a constant ache-- I felt it all over. I was sure any minute I was going to hyperventilate. I needed to get it together, I didn’t need to show this level of emotion to Renee, or we’d spend the whole trip talking about Edward. I couldn’t handle almost 3000 miles of talking about Edward-- that would put me in the nut house for sure.

Renee stepped off of the escalator and started waving. She must have seen me as she descended from her vantage point. I’m sure it was easier to see through the crowd. I walked to her and she hugged me, letting me know how much I was missed. I pulled back and smiled at her. I had really missed her!

“So, college girl, are you ready for your new adventure?” Her face held a combination of fear and excitement, as I handed her latte.

“You bet I am. What about you? Are you ready to turn your girl loose and send her off to college?” I knew without a doubt that the answer was no but deep down inside she wanted this adventure for me as much as I wanted it myself. She missed out on this when she was my age.

“No, no, and no! When did you get old enough to go off to college anyway?” The teasing in her eyes spilled over to her voice.

“Day by day, I promise. Let’s go get your luggage. I want to show you what Dad did for me. You’re going to be so surprised.”

“Oh no, is it a good or bad surprise?” Charlie never surprised anyone, so it was hard for her to gauge what kind of surprise this would be.

“No, it’s good, definitely good!” I was still shocked at his grand gesture.

We stood patiently waiting for the conveyor belt to send out the luggage to us.

“That one Bella, the large red one, pull it off. That’s the only one I have, so let’s go and see this surprise.” She directed as I pulled the suitcase off of the conveyor belt and moved towards the door.

We walked out to the lot and started down the aisle where I left the Pilot. Renee was slightly ahead of me, because I was pulling her suitcase. She was about two cars away from the Pilot when I hit the unlock button on the key remote. The car beeped at her and the lights flashed. She jumped and turned to me.

“I hate when that happens, I will never understand these alarms, seems like everything in the world makes them go off. I’ll never have a car that has one.” Her disdain was clear as she threw her hands around in mock horror. I had finally taught her to text within the last few months, technology was certainly not her best friend.

Renee walked over to the other side of the row, getting as much distance as she could between her and the offending car.

“Mom, I made it go off. Don’t get huffy, it was me, this is my surprise. Dad got me this car this morning.” I dropped her suitcase and waved at my ‘new’ car. Stunned silence from Renee, I don’t think I had ever seen stunned silence from her, ever. I continued on with my explanation of Charlie’s actions. “He said he was worried about the truck making it all the way to New Hampshire. I’m so glad he did, because I was worried about the same thing.” I decided to test the waters and see exactly how much she knew about Charlie after their divorce. “Did you know he has saved for years for me to go to college?” She shrugged, apparently still in shock. She was never silent this long. “Since I got the full scholarship, he spent some of the money on this car. It’s paid for, and he says it’s really safe. Besides, the gas mileage is about 300%%%%%55 better than my truck.” I waved again at it like I was Vanna White showing off the prize up for grabs on this round of Wheel of Fortune. “So here we are, besides won’t it be nice to have a comfortable seat since we’re going almost 3000 miles? You’ll be thanking him when your butt is not sore from the seats.” I tossed her suitcase in the back seat beside all of my stuff and motioned towards the door. “Now get in, so we can get on the road.”

I laughed at her look of shock. Charlie would be happy that he managed to surprise both of us.

“You know, Bella, your Dad is a great man. I’ll tell him that when we call and check in tonight.” Renee seemed to appreciate Charlie much better when she wasn’t married to him any longer. I guess some things work out for the best after all, they both seemed much happier on their own.

“Did he call you? I told him I would check in; I don’t know why he had to call you.” I huffed at Renee, upset that Charlie didn’t trust me enough to allow me enough leeway to follow through on my promise, on my own.

Charlie is and always would be a worrier when it came to me traveling, occupational hazard I guess.

“Bella, he didn’t call, I just know how he is; he’d be happy if you called and checked in hourly. I don’t know why he’s so worried; we’ll be fine. But call him and let him know we are ready to start off on our grand adventure, just in case he is worried.” Renee apparently found her voice again as she rushed it all out in one breath.

Deep down I knew that Renee was happy that Charlie insisted on the constant checking in; I think she was a big old scared-ycat deep down inside.

“Wow, you’re almost as bad as he is.” I started dialing, and I swear it hadn’t even rung once when he picked up. “Hey Dad, Mom is here and we’re just about to start off. She wanted me to let you know. And by the way, she loves the car. She said to tell you that you’re a great Dad.”

“Thanks, Bells, and tell your Mom thanks also. You two be careful. Call me when you stop to eat.” Once a cop, always a cop.

“I will, talk to you soon.”

We both buckled up and I started the car, Renee turned on the radio, and we pulled out of the airport parking lot. Only 2969 more miles to go. New Hampshire here I come!

~~**~~**~~

After five days, almost 3000 miles, and lots of greasy diner food, we arrived in Hanover, New Hampshire. I followed the directions from my email and pulled up in front of a tall building. It looked like it could house at least 300 students.

I walked in and knocked on the DA’s door. She yelled and cursed all the way to the door. She jerked it open, and I was surprised to find a small woman with bright red hair staring back at me. She was about Alice’s size and was just as loud; what was with these small women? I told her who I was, and she gave me a key to room 106.

Great news, my room was on the first floor, which meant no hauling my stuff upstairs, and for that, I was thankful.

Renee and I went in and checked out the room. It was a decent sized room, and had a great window. It didn’t open, but I didn’t care; it was better than some I had seen in brochures for other schools. My room was set up for one person. When the other students came back after the summer, I would have to share, but for now I had the room to myself. I really wasn’t ready to share with a stranger just yet, anyhow, so this really was a win-win situation. Angela and I were still hoping to room together when she got here.

Renee and I got all of my stuff into the room and made short work of organizing. I tried not to bring too much stuff. I knew I’d be sharing and wouldn’t have a lot of space, so I tried to pack light, much to the chagrin of a certain pixie back home named Alice.

With most of the work done, we headed off to eat dinner, and then Renee needed to get to the airport. After five days together, I was going to be sad when she left; I would miss her.

“Bella, you haven’t mentioned Edward all week. Are you sure you’re okay with this? The silence is sort of sounding like avoidance to me. Tell me what’s going on.”

This is why I loved living with Charlie; he picked up on almost nothing. Renee, however, picked up on almost everything. I had thought that maybe I was in the clear; neither of us had brought it up the entire trip out and with only about three hours until she’d be boarding the plane, I really thought I had avoided it completely. I guess I let my façade slip a little too much.

“Mom, I don’t want to get into this now. I have already told you, I thought this was a good time to end things with Edward.” I blew out a long breath and tried to collect my thoughts and to prepare exactly what I wanted to say to her. “I knew college was going to be hard for both of us, and we would both need to concentrate on our studies. I know it’s not going to do me any good, sitting here worrying about him and what he’s doing, and vice versa.” Renee seemed to be waiting for my full answer, her face showed the contemplative nature of our conversation. “So I thought that we shouldn’t put that kind of pressure on each other. We’re free to concentrate on college and enjoy our experiences without the pressure.”

“Bella, I hear the words and I understand them.” She patted my hand and pulled it into her lap. The last time we sat in this exact position flashed through my mind. She was trying to break it to my 10 year old self that my grandmother had died. “What I don’t understand is why the two of you are fooling yourselves into believing them. I’ve never seen two people your age that are so put together and sure of where you’re going in the world.” My mind flashed to all of the plans that Edward and I had dreamed up. It was funny, but we made every decision for the future together. We had it all laid out. I wondered how each of us would fulfill those dreams now on our own. Would they change much or would we stick to what we had planned exactly. Renee waived her hand in front of my face, and I realized that she was still talking. After a brief examination of my face, she continued her speech. “And I have never seen two people who are so in love at your age. Not a high school kind of love, but real love, so what makes you think that you couldn’t last through a little separation?”

“Mom, I just don’t know…” I tried to organize an argument that she couldn’t dispute, but she cut off my line of thinking before I could even really start it.

“You’re only a few hours’ from him. It’d be easier for you to get to him than it would be to get to me or your dad. That’s what I don’t understand, Bella.” Her eyebrows creased in frustration.

“Mom, this is not a drama filled soap opera. It is exactly like I said. I thought you of all people would understand what I meant.” The anger at myself threatened to spill over onto Renee. I needed to reign in my emotions before I said something to hurt Renee when none of this was her fault at all. I unclenched my fists from around the steering wheel and slowed my breathing. When I felt more in control, I began again. “I know you’ve said plenty of times that you wished you’d taken some time before you and dad rushed into marriage. Well, that is what I’m doing. I’m taking the time to figure out who I am and where I belong in the world before I’m ready to settle down.” Renee’s expression changed from one of skepticism to understanding. “If that means I don’t date, then I don’t; if I do then I do. I don’t care either way. If I end up with Edward, then I end up with him. I just want options right now.”

“Bella, you always have options, and yes, I understand. I just liked Edward. I thought he was good for you.” I glanced at her out of the corner of my eyes and tried to pretend that I needed to keep my eyes on the road. I sat in silence waiting for her to continue.

Finally, after a few minutes she finished her statements. “I won’t question you anymore; you decide your future. I know you can handle that. You’re a great woman, and you’ll be fine. I’m sure of it. Look out world, here comes Bella.”

She waved her hands in front of her, like she was clearing the way for me. I had to laugh at her; she really was kinda crazy.

“Thanks, Mom.”

The rest of the ride to the airport was silent, each of us caught up in all our thoughts. I couldn’t tell if Renee believed my story or not. Many times in the past, I thought I’d fooled her, and she hadn’t believed me for a minute, so who knows.

I had spent some time deciding what I wanted out of college, and what experiences I thought I could skip. I knew that Angela would be here in a few months, and I was really glad to have someone I knew to share it with. I was not big on the whole make friends with a stranger thing, so if I could last until when Angela got here, I would be okay.

Before I knew it, Renee was safely on her plane, and I was back in my lonely dorm room. I decided that all day tomorrow I wanted to wander around and get the lay of the land. Even with the emotional roller coaster I had been on over the past few weeks, I was really excited to be at school, and not just any school, but my dream school, but at the same time, it was all bittersweet. I grabbed my cell and texted Alice:

A-

Im here, and by myself. I miss u! I’ll call soon, thanks for still being my friend! Love u lots!

B <3

I wanted her to know that I got her message from Charlie. That I had not abandoned her; I needed her now more than ever. I felt my phone vibrate and flipped it open before it even rang. It was Alice-- I was sure of it.

B-

Im srry ur alone! We ALL miss u, srry u had to leave so quick! R u ok? Call when u can, lots of love to u 2!

A <3

Usually she knew what to say to make me feel like everything was going to be alright, but this time I still had doubts. I didn’t want to call in case Edward was close by and because I was afraid I would put her in the middle. I really wanted to know how Edward was doing, but would she even tell me if I asked? Was it fair of me to ask? Did I deserve to know? I finally threw caution to the wind and decided, I had to know how he was, so I responded to her text.

A-

How is E? Is he ok? Im sorry I hurt him! Take care of him 4 me, k?

B

Should I have done that? Was she going to tell him I asked about him? Would she over react to my asking? What had I done?

She didn’t give me long to think about it as I once again felt my phone vibrate.

B-

Course I’ll take care of him! He’s not great, but I think he’ll be ok. He’ll need time. He really loved you! R u sure this is what u want? It’s not 2 late!

A

I sent one right back to her.

A-

I REALLY AM SORRY, I didn’t mean to hurt him, I need time to figure this out! Don’t tell him we talk I don’t want to hurt him more, or build up his hope. I was afraid I had lost you as well, I’m glad we can still be friends. I promise to call when I get settled!

B

I felt better knowing Alice was still there for me. I felt like I would be okay.

I looked at the clock, it was only 9, but I was so emotionally and physically drained that I had to go to bed. I closed my eyes and tried to slow my mind down so I could get some sleep. I let myself think of Edward, how he looked so good in that black t-shirt he was wearing when I saw him for the first time, walking through the cafeteria. I also thought of him and the way he looked after the first time we had sex. He was so wonderful, so sweet and passionate. It always amazed me how Edward was able to convey his love with words, touches, looks, and silent thoughts. He always knew what I needed, and gave it to me.

With all of my thoughts catching up to me I couldn’t hold it in anymore, I felt like I was an empty shell of the person that I once was and the pain was overwhelming. All I could do was close my eyes and let the tears fall. This wasn’t a loud sobbing cry, this was the silent my-pain-is-too-deep-to-express kind of cry. I knew this wasn’t the last time tears would fall for Edward; I knew this would be a nightly ritual. And that was okay with me. At least I’d still have him in my memories. I wanted to keep this emotional release to myself, without anyone else’s interferences, so I was okay with it happening here at this time. I’d allow myself to love Edward now, giving myself time to be better by the morning.

When I woke up to my cell phone beeping, I grabbed it thinking maybe I missed a text from Alice last night. I opened it and saw it was a voice message instead. It came in twelve minutes ago. I wondered who would be calling at 6:43 a.m? I hit the button and entered my code to hear it.

“Bella, it’s me, Edward. I just wanted to make sure you’re there and you are okay. Alice said she spoke with your Dad, and he told her you were fine. I’m sorry you’re gone. I tried to talk to you before you left.” I could hear the emotion in his voice. He was barely holding it together. “I miss you and I want you to know I still love you. I will always love you. Please, know that.” He paused and cleared his throat. I didn’t know if he was going to continue. “I’ll let you go Bella- it’ll kill me, but I’ll do it. I just want you to be happy; it is what I have always wanted. I won’t call anymore, I promise. I don’t think I’m strong enough to call and be casual friends with you, please don’t hate me for that.” My heart broke at the thought of hating him for any reason. “I know you and Alice are best friends, and I know she still needs you. Please don’t let me keep you from calling her. I promise its okay.” The sniffle was so faint I almost believed that I made it up. But I heard another one as he began speaking again. “You’re…uh…You’re amazing--I want you to remember that. Bella, make sure the guys treat you the way you deserve. And please know that I am always here for you, for any reason. If you ever decide that this is not what you want, I will be here waiting for you. I wish you well. Thanks for the great times, and thanks for loving me, please take care of yourself. I love you.”

Edward was saying goodbye to me, of course he needed to do this, he needed to move on. I saved the message and closed the phone. I knew I’d want to hear his voice again, and this was my last chance. I wanted to cry because the pain in his voice was evident. I know he was far worse than Alice said he was; I could hear it in his voice. I wasn’t sure I had done the right thing. Maybe I should’ve given him a choice, maybe I was wrong.

I needed to get a hold of myself. His own mother said I was no good for him. She should know-- he’s her son, she knows him better than anyone. Medical schools are so tough, and he’ll need all of his focus, his parents and him had been so set on medical school for so long, and he didn’t need anything standing in his way. I was simply a distraction to him and heaven knows he has enough pressure on him, the last thing he needs is a distraction like me.

I’d known all along that I didn’t deserve him and he should have moved on. He was too good-looking, too popular, and too rich. How was I going to compete with that? I needed to be thankful for what I’d had for as long as I’d had it. He’d be fine, the girls will fall all over him, and in no time he’d be over me. We could both move on, and that’s what I want. Everyone ended up happy. Isn’t that the way the stories tell it? Now if I can move on, we’ll all be happy.

I fell back to sleep, and dreamt of our 10 year class reunion. Edward walked in and had a beautiful blonde on his arm. He was successful and she and their 2.5 kids were perfect. I was a wreck, alone, and unemployed.

Wait, what, unemployed? How the hell could I tell that from a dream? What the hell, now I can’t even get a job? So running off to college wasn’t even going to get me a job in the future.

I needed to wake up, and get on with my day. This dream wasn’t going anywhere I wanted to go.

MAT-Chapter 2

Chapter 2

Bella's POV

I had less than a month before Edward's birthday would be here and I still had no idea what the hell I was going to get him. A dinner party was planned and I had a watch wrapped up to give him in front of everyone else. But for several years now we had always exchanged personal gifts, gifts that no one else were privy to. It started three years ago when Edward gave me my ultimate fantasy with Maria. Since then we have used our birthdays and anniversary as a way to reconnect sexually with each other.

Don't get me wrong our sex life is great but these are extra special times that we plan for each other. We use it as a time to try something new with each other. The problem is that we have done so much that now it is getting hard to find something new without venturing into areas that neither Edward nor I are really interested in. I mean who wants to see their man in a diaper calling for their Mommy? Not me. I want Edward all grown up and ready to fuck me senseless.

I put the worrying behind me and closed my eyes so I would be rested and prepared for my meeting tomorrow. I had a new client coming to discuss a loan for a brand new building for their business. I had to admit I was worried about this venture, it was a hard economic time and most businesses were not in the position to expand. I just hoped that the owner really had done her homework and was able to back up the figures she sent us. I didn't want a project of this size to go south before it even got started. This was my chance at a promotion and I didn't want to blow it because of someone's over inflated ego.

I watched Edward towel his fine ass off in the mirror while I put in my earrings. I was dressed and ready to walk out the door and it was a good thing that I was. Otherwise we would both be late for work this morning. He looked too good to resist. I stepped towards him and placed a kiss on the side of his jaw. "Bye, baby, have a good day." He wrapped his arm around me and gave me a kiss full on the lips.

"You, too. Good luck. It will go fine." He patted my ass as he reassured me about the meeting today. "Dinner with Rose and Emmett tonight, don't forget."

"I won't. If I get done early enough maybe we can meet up for lunch?" I asked as I gathered my laptop bag and purse.

"Sure, I'd love that." He placed one more kiss to my cheek and I turned to leave the room, watching his sexy ass walk into the closet in the mirror on our dresser as I walked out. What he didn't know wouldn't hurt him.

With two Caramel Macchiatos in hand, I stopped by Angela's desk to drop hers off to her. "Here, now don't ever say how terrible your boss is, ever again." I narrowed my eyes at her as I spoke. She thought I didn't hear that comment to Ben yesterday on the phone when we had to work through lunch but I did. I grabbed my messages off of her desk and marched into my office.

Angela followed me in, sputtering and stammering to cover up her mistake. "I…I was just kidding, I swear I was." I held up my hand and stopped her.

"Ang, don't tell me that after how many years we've been friends, you don't know when I'm teasing?" Her hand flew to her hip and the other holding her coffee motioned between the two of us as she spoke.

"Fine, I see how it is. Well, see if I share the greatest porn video ever with my evil, vile, terrible, wicked, and especially mean boss then."

At the mention of the word 'porn video' I was flying around my desk to immediately apologize to her because as great as she was as an assistant, she was an even better porn video finder. Her videos were legendary good, like make me come multiple, multiple times good.

"Wait, new video? Okay, fine you're off the hook and I buy lunch for you all week, come on spill!" I begged as she laughed at me. I was not above getting down on my knees and giving her a little somethin' somethin' if you know what I mean.

"Fine but I choose where we eat." When I nodded my acceptance, she smiled. "I already emailed you the link, you perv. It's in your gmail account." She turned and walked away from me.

I ran back to my desk and pulled my laptop out of my bag and fired that bad boy up. Most of my co-workers thought that I brought my laptop to work so I could stay synced up and always have my info with me. Well, they were wrong! It was because I could check my email, my facebook, my tumblr and watch my porn videos without them knowing about it. I opened up my mail program and immediately found Angela's email. I didn't open it now, I didn't have time to watch it and cool down before my meeting. I would save that thing for this evening with Edward. We would watch it together. I made a quick stop by facebook, said hello to my girls in the group and checked tumblr. You have got to love the boy/boy porn that goes on around that place. It has opened up a whole new world for me, even Edward has commented about how sensual most of it looks. Long gone were the days of cheap gay sex in a public bathroom in the park with George Michaels, it was top quality stuff now days.

I noticed the time so I shut my laptop and locked it in my desk drawer. Angela would take notes on hers so mine wasn't needed. I gathered my files and made my way to Angela's desk so we could walk over to the conference room together. I halted outside the double glass doors and did a double take. To my great surprise there stood Maria. The woman responsible for our sexual revolution was here in my office. Shock wasn't even a big enough word to describe what I felt. We had talked a few times after that night she came over but it was few and far between, and the last time was more than a year ago. It wasn't a conscience decision by either of us to stay in touch or not stay in touch. If we saw each other we talked and caught up, if not then we were okay with that as well. I gathered my wits as she turned to face me with a beaming smile on her face.

"Bella, my gosh, it has been so long, how are you?" Maria rushed forward and we both embraced each other. A part of me wanted to worry about how to explain how we knew each other but the other part of me said to hell with it, what I did on my own time is my business.

"I'm good, what about you? You look amazing." The suits were standing around watching us. We talked for a few minutes and did some catching up; I told her about Edward starting up his own architectural firm and about our new house. We talked about our weekends away and how we had been as a couple. Maria was more like a therapist than an exotic dancer. She understood how important sexual health was to a person and to a couple. I was more than thankful for her help, she really opened us up as a couple. We were closer than we had ever been since then. More open, honest and trusting with each other.

I realized that I had monopolized her time so I turned to introduce her to everyone else. Maria jumped ahead and used the name that is on the loan application, Charlotte Johnson, as she held her hand out. I was a little confused by this but I guess in her line of business it was good to have a stage name and a real name. Keeps the creeps away.

We jumped right into our meeting and Maria showed us in more detail her business plan. She actually owned the club that we visited that night, well she does now, she didn't then. She's owned it for a little over two years and has expanded it. She has added a clothing line, fitness classes for women as well as a full service salon and spa. The problem is that her current space is now too small and she needs to expand again. Her proposal includes purchasing a new lot closer to downtown, building a brand new building that will utilize the bottom floor for all of her other businesses and allow the top floor to be used as a nightclub that will include a section for her exotic dancers to continue to perform. All in all her numbers were impressive and continue to grow each month. Her working capital is unheard of in this market and her plan is sound. She will diversify herself with this building and won't depend on one area to make her money. That way she has a better chance of succeeding if part of her plan fails to succeed. All in all she had a solid plan and I was hopeful that the uppers would see that and approve her loan.

The men decided to take a few minutes to talk it over and left us women alone to chat more. Within five minutes they were back to give us their answers. Marcus started the discussion. "Charlotte, it looks as if you have a solid plan and your numbers are certainly impressive. We think that it will be a great opportunity to back up your businesses. The loan is approved, but we have some conditions. Due to the fact that you are apparently personal friends with Ms. Cullen we will need to assign a new loan officer to keep track of your portfolio. I hope you understand." He folded his hands and both Maria and I became angry. Maria stood before I could to address their silly request.

"As a matter of fact, Marcus, I do not understand. Bella and I are personal friends. We haven't seen each other in at least a year and that was only briefly in a grocery store, so she did not know about this business venture that I was involved in." Maria stopped and placed her hands on the large conference table we all sat at. God she was beautiful as she ranted at these stuffed shirt assholes. "She is not the reason that I came to this bank for this loan." Her long graceful finger pointed at me and I shuddered as I remembered at what that finger alone could do to my body. "I would have if I had known that she worked here but I did not. I came here because my family has had dealings with this bank for several generations, I would like to continue that. But I will not accept insinuations that Bella nor myself has done anything underhanded at all, because we have not." Her arms folded across her body and pressed her perfect breasts up even higher and my tongue longed to run across her dark nipples. "In fact, I will take my business somewhere else unless Bella is my loan officer. I mean it!" She strutted back to her seat and plopped her perky ass down. Angela and I both exchanged looks that were full of glee, we both had longed to put these men in their places for so long but neither of us had the chance that Maria has, so we celebrated with her.

"Well, now Mrs. Johnson, there is no need to get hasty with this. We simply thought that it would be better to not mix business with pleasure, that's all." I almost moaned aloud when Marcus said pleasure because oh how I knew the amount of pleasure she could provide.

"Well the good thing about women is that we can multi task and mixing the two together is never an issue for us. I think we will work just fine together. Don't you agree Bella?" She turned to look at me and gave me the opportunity to speak my peace.

"Absolutely, since Charlotte's main clientele would be women I think that it would be helpful for a woman to be involved with her to make sure that we leave no stone unturned and cover all of our bases." It killed me to use their go to metaphors but I saw the gleam in their eyes as the words were spoken and I knew that we had them.

"Fine, you both make a fine point but Bella, we will be looking over the portfolio from time to time to make sure that all is going according to plan. First things first, let's get us an architect to get this building off the ground." Marcus, Caius and Aro all nodded their heads as Maria leaned forward to once again give her opinion.

"Well, I know of a fine architect right here in the city, how convenient, he will be available to come over with any issues and I know for certain that he is more than capable and extremely talented." Maria sat back with a side glance at me. My panties were more than wet to hear her talk about my husband in such a manner.

"Oh, do tell Mrs. Johnson, who is this talent." Aro asked as he continued to write his notes.

"Well, it seems that Mrs. Cullen is not only a big wig in the business world but her husband is as well. It seems that Edward has recently started his own architectural firm. I'm sure he has an eye for details and would be invested in this project because it would mean his, as well as his wife's, success. I think he would be a wise choice. Don't you agree gentlemen?" She flashed a brilliant smile and pressed her boobs together a little more so that the cleavage was center stage. They all nodded while they focused on how much her top was revealing. "Okay, then it looks like Bella and I need to get to work here. Thanks for your time and I appreciate you all so much." We stood and moved out of the room with Angela followed us, the three of them still stood dumbfounded by her small showing of skin.

The three of us collapsed in my office and giggled at the stupidity of men. Show some skin and you get whatever you wanted. That's not to say that Maria would not have gotten her loan without it because she would, her numbers were air tight but it did help her get me and Edward on the job with her.

I reached for my phone and called his cell. We talked about going to lunch earlier, so now he would take the three of us to lunch since I owed Angela. "Hey sexy, you busy?" I purred at him when he answered the phone. I could hear people talking in the background and knew he must be on a job site. "There are three hungry people who wanted to have lunch with you and the good thing is that you can write it off as a business lunch." He chuckled at me as I spoke.

"Well then where would these three people like to meet me for this said business lunch?" He asked.

"What about The Tomato Stand? They have the best salads in town." Maria and Angela both nodded their heads at me.

"Okay, give me about thirty minutes and I will be there. Love you." He stated then hung up.

"Okay ladies, we have a date, let's get going cause it will take us longer to get there than him."

Over lunch we told Edward all about the meeting, turns out that Angela actually videoed it all. In the beginning it was an accident but after she saw the way Maria worked over Aro, Marcus and Caius she left it running. We discussed the details of the building she would need and he agreed to go by the job site and check out the land. He already had some ideas running through his head. I could tell by the way he stared off into space while we talked. We finally got around to talking about Maria's changes since we last talked with her. She had married Peter Johnson and when her Grandmother died she used her inheritance to buy out the owner of the club she worked for. Once she owned it she began to make the changes. Peter left his job and came to work for her so they could be together more often than their previous schedules allowed. All in all she was very happy.

Angela left us and went back to the office so that left Edward, Maria and I to talk. We finally brought up the night the three of us spent together. Edward and I both thanked Maria and explained how much it helped us. How it opened our eyes to each other and our needs as a couple. We explained how we made a point to do something special for our birthdays and such.

"Yeah, we've done so much that now it is hard to come up with something to do for Edward's birthday that is less than a month away." I pouted. Edward just smiled.

"Why don't you two come away with Peter and I, we have a place up at the lake. Very secluded, we could spend the whole weekend catching up and just enjoy the privacy that we crave up there." Maria offered and I could see the excitement in Edward's eyes at the idea. We had not had anyone else in our bed with us since that last time with Maria and to be honest I wasn't sure that was what she was offering at all but the chance to get away would be great.

Edward glanced at me then back to Maria, "Thanks, Maria, that would be great. We would love to join you both. It will give us a chance to meet Peter. Why don't you and Peter come stay with us that Friday night for the dinner party? Then Saturday morning we can get up and drive to the lake, we could take off on Monday that would give us three full days."

"Sounds great to me, let me call Peter and let him know." She pulled her phone out of her purse and made the call. Edward and I talked quietly as she spoke with Peter.

"Yeah, this is the couple that I told you about. I think you and Edward will get along great." She smiled at Edward and my mind began to turn over the ideas of Edward with another man. Again, I had no idea if that was the direction she was going with it but damn if the idea alone didn't make my panties all kinds of wet. My grip tightened on Edward's arm and he patted my hand in reassuringly.

We finished dinner and parted at the restaurant. We exchanged info and made plans to get together with Edward after he was able to draw up some plans for the building. Edward kissed both of our cheeks sweetly and turned to head towards his car. Maria stood for a few minutes as she watched him walk away. "I can't wait to see him and Peter together, I don't know how open he would be to that but the idea alone makes me want to rush home and have my wicked way with my man." Maria confessed and my heart leapt at the idea that she wanted the same thing that I did. It gave me a clear indication as to what her intentions were for the weekend. All of the sudden she turned to me and her eyes got real wide and panic stricken. "Oh God, Bella, I don't know if that is what you and Edward had in mind for the weekend. I mean I don't want to pressure either of you into something you weren't planning for. If you just want to go and hang out with us that is fine too, I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have said anything. Please forgive me?" She grabbed my hand as her words tumbled out of her mouth without pause for a breath or anything in between.

"Maria, it's fine. I mean we do have our history so it is only natural to assume of some sorts. It's fine. I mean I don't know what Edward plans but I have to be honest, when you brought it up I kinda went there with my ideas as well." A wicked gleam passed through her eyes as she looked at me, so I continued to speak. "Edward and I have never spoken about his thoughts on being with a man, but I want it, I can't lie. To imagine Edward with a guy makes me so wet and horny, blame tumblr." I laughed and was shocked when Maria did as well.

"Oh my gosh, I know that thing is all kinds of evil. I open it up and before I know it two hours have gone by." Her face took on a more serious note, "As long as I didn't offend you Bella. I really do think we could have a beautiful friendship, all four of us. I mean that in a platonic way, outside of whatever sex we have. I know that Peter and Edward will get along so well. Peter needs some friends here in town as he left most of his back in Chicago when he moved."

My eyes lit up, another thing that he had in common with Edward, Edward's family was originally from Chicago and Edward spent plenty of time there. With each passing second I looked more and more forward to our weekend away with Peter and Maria.

That night while Edward showered and I brushed my teeth, I told him about the email from Angela. "Damn straight we're watching that thing, I love Angela's porn videos. We should hire her." Edward called from the shower. I chuckled at his enthusiasm.

"Do you forget that she already works for me and gives me the links without it costing us a single dime?" I asked around the toothbrush in my mouth.

"Oh, yeah, even better deal then. I'll be right out."

I ran to the bedroom to prepare for Edward. I slipped out the single ponytail holder I had in and divided my hair into two pigtails. Once those were secure I rummaged around in my drawers for the leg warmers and tight shorts that Edward loved. I donned them both and made sure that I found an extra tight t-shirt to wear to match the rest of my outfit. I grabbed a lollipop out of his nightstand drawer to pop into my mouth. That is how he found me, sitting in the middle of our bed, sucking on the lollipop, twirling one pigtail around my finger with a concerned look on my face. He sauntered over to the bed and stopped right beside me with his towel still wrapped around his waist, very low around his waist. I could see evidence of his erection under the towel. I glanced at it back and forth like a nervous school girl.

"Please, Mr. Cullen, I don't know if you plan to tell my mom and dad that I was looking at your videos or not but please, please don't. They will be so mad at me." I opened my eyes real wide and motioned towards my laptop that was all cued up to watch the video that Angela sent to me.

"Oh, I don't know Bella. I think, as parents, they need to know this fact about you. They need to watch out for you and make sure that you aren't doing anything that you shouldn't be doing." I lowered my eyes and refused to look at him. How well he fell into character without me even saying a word to him. I think the outfit gave it all away. "I mean I go away on business and ask you to stop by and take care of the mail but I come home to find you in my room, in my bed, watching dirty movies. What am I supposed to think, I mean it makes me wonder if you are a dirty girl and shouldn't be punished." He tapped his chin and somehow the action made his towel sink lower on his hips. I was almost salivating at the thought of seeing him exposed to me.

"Oh no, Mr. Cullen, I don't need to be punished at all." I climbed up to my knees and made my way to the edge of the bed. Close enough that my hard nipples would brush against his chest but not pressed directly against him.

"Well, I might be able to overlook it just this one time, Bella. If this was the only time you've done this, is it?" He demanded.

"I…I can't lie to you sir, it wasn't." I cast my eyes downward again. I knew the use of sir and the eyes would get to him.

"How many times, Bella?"

"Once before, but I can explain. My boyfriend wanted to have oral sex with me and I didn't know how to do it, so I watched a video so I would know how." I begged and touched his bare chest.

"What did you learn?"

"I don't know, he broke up with me and started dating that slut bag Jessica." I forced a tear to my eye as I spoke to him. It worked because his large hand came up and cupped my neck. He always held me so possessively.

"Don't cry, sweet girl. Show me what you learned, I'll tell you if you do it right, okay?" He leaned down and kissed my cheek and pulled his towel away at the same time. I gasped at the size of him, I mean it's what an innocent teenaged girl would do, he was large. "Don't be afraid, I won't let you get hurt, I will go slow, okay?" His hand moved soothingly over my neck and across my cheek. For one second I wondered if he had said all of these things before since they came out so smoothly. At that moment he leaned down and kissed my lips, whispering, "I love you, Bella." I knew without a doubt that he was just playing along with me.

"I'm scared Mr. Cullen, it's so big." I glanced back and forth from his eyes to his cock.

"Just go slow and it will be fine. Lay down on your back, right here." I did as he said. "Now hang your head off of the bed and open up wide." I did that as well. He pressed he cock right up to my lips and I licked it like a cat would. I heard his groan as he pushed it gently towards me so I licked it further up his shaft. "So good, Bella, you're a fast learner. More, baby, take it in your mouth." So I allowed the tip to slide in and I kissed it then moved my tongue along his slit. He leaned forward and stopped. "Can I touch you Bella?" He asked sweetly. I hummed my acceptance around his tip and he pressed in further to my mouth as she moved my shirt out of the way and touched my bare breasts. His hips began a slow, steady rhythm into my mouth, never deep though. I opened wider and allowed more saliva to pool in my mouth so I could handle what I was about to ask for.

"Can it go deeper, Mr. Cullen?" He groaned and pushed in a little further, I gagged a little. He pulled out some and looked down at me.

"Open your throat and breathe through your nose. It feels so fucking good all the way in like that, okay baby?" I nodded and hummed around him. "Fuck yeah, do that too, oh God you are a naughty girl Bella." He pushed in as I took a deep breath and hummed. He pushed in and stopped, I swallowed around him. His hips bucked and pushed deeper into me. I moaned and he palmed both my breasts. Both nipples were twisted as his hips fell into a more aggressive rhythm. I loved having him in my mouth especially in this position because he could go so much deeper and he seemed to feel so much thicker this way. "You are so fucking beautiful sucking my cock, Bella, you like that?" I moaned and pressed my hips up off of the bed towards him. His hand reached down and slid into my tight shorts, finding my other barriers. "What a naught little tease you, have you been without panties the whole time?" I pulled off of his cock and sucked down the excess spit. That was never attractive no matter who says it is.

"I can't help it, Mr. Cullen, I just get so horny when I see you. I feel naughty when you look at me." I ran my hands up and touched my breasts, squeezed them together.

His finger dipped into the crevice between my lower lips and found me soaked through. "Fuck, Bella, what the hell were you watching that had you all wet like this?" He reached over and pressed play on the video. It showed a maid bent over on her master's lap, he had her panties down and was rubbing her ass, smacking it and pressing his fingers into her pussy. Edward pulled me up on the bed and turned us both so we could see the video, but he also took the time to pull off my shorts and t-shirt. It didn't fail my notice that he left the leg warmers on though.

"You want me to touch you like that?" I nodded at him and cast my eyes downward again. "Come here, sweet girl, let me show you how to be touched." He pulled me into his lap, my back against his chest with his legs spread wide. He roughly threw my legs open and dropped them on the outside of his legs, so he could control how far I was spread open for him. His hand snuck down and touched me against my hot wet skin. It felt so delicious and sinful. Here I was in an innocent school girl's outfit and playing this game with a man that is supposed to be older and wiser yet he touches me in ways that are anything but innocent. I can't explain the rush of excitement that sets my body on fire each time his fingers come to rest on my skin, each time he applies pressure to me. His free hand reached for the laptop to start the video.

It comes to life on the screen, it starts out innocent enough two maids passing each other in the hallway of a large mansion. Before long the two maids have each other bent over, skirts over their heads, while they take turns licking each other's pussy. Then two men enter and the men each choose a girl, we see the view alternate between the two couples. The couple they seem to focus on mainly thrills me, the guy reminds me of Edward and has a beautiful cock. He has his beautiful maid laid over his lap with her panties down around her ankles, he takes turns spanking her ass and then slowly pressing his fingers around her pussy and ass. With each slow pass he makes Edward touches me gently in the same area on my body. By the time he has a finger inside of her I am so worked up that I am ready to come. I hold it in and wait to see what Edward has in mind, to be honest the slow torture is the best kind of pain there is.

The camera pans back and forth between each couple, showing a few seconds of their action. Each couple is busy but at the same time they watch the other couple across the room. The actions that are being played out spurred each couple on screen as well as Edward and I. We have moved around on the bed several times to mimic the actions being played out on screen. First Edward had me in his lap touching me, then he laid me across his lap and spanked my ass, I was turned so that he could lick my pussy, then he flipped me over so that his weight could settle over me as he fucked me.

If you asked me I would be hard pressed, no pun intended, to find an action between Edward and I that I liked the most. In everything he did to me and for me, he gave every single bit of himself so I loved them all. I was thankful that I had an attentive and caring lover. Edward definitely treated me with care and made sure that my orgasms outnumbered his every time we made love to each other.

When Edward shifted my body again I was thrilled, he wanted to turn us both so that we could still watch the video. He settled my body over his and immediately his lips attached to my pussy. I, on the other hand, took a moment to look his beautiful cock over, to watch the way my arousal shined on his skin before I licked it up the underside. I tasted so good and it was even better when I was tasting myself on Edward.

I turned to see the two couples had met in the middle of the room and now all four were tangled up together, men kissing men, women kissing women, men kissing women. Anything seemed to go at this point. I once again, thought of Edward and Peter together. I made a point to ask him afterwards what he was thinking about the weekend we had committed to.

Edward's thrusts into my mouth became deeper, I allowed my hands to wander down to his balls and massaged them as he hummed around my wet skin. I chanced a brief glance at the video and watched as the second guy lined his cock up to enter the guy that I thought looked like Edward. I couldn't hold back the orgasm that spread through my body like a wildfire. Edward's fingers slid into my body two into my pussy then one into my ass. I swallowed him as deeply as I could in my mouth then slid my hands lower on his body. I gathered up the moisture that had come to rest on Edward's body and used it to lube my finger as I slid one into Edward's ass. I reached around and massaged the prostate that I had heard the guys at work talking about and witnessed Edward come undone under me. His body bucked and shook as his orgasm took over. His hot come shooting down my throat as I willingly took every drop. I loved to see him fall apart like this, to see how much I can affect him and his body.

I continued to slowly take him in my mouth while he struggled to regain his normal breathing pattern. He is still hard and I know what he has in mind, he wants more. He pulls me back under him and pulls my ankles until they are up on either side of his neck. He pushes against me and bends my legs slightly so that I'm open to him fully. He slides his still hard cock around in my wet center and pushes it against my clit, I can still feel my insides clench from the orgasm he caused in me just a few minutes ago. I can't wait to feel him inside of me. He always feels so much bigger when I have already had an orgasm. He knows this, I can tell by the look on his face and the way he is playing with me.

The lopsided grin does things to me, he uses that against me every chance he can to get what he wants. "I love you so much you know that right?" His sweet gentle words bely the dark hungry look in his eyes. I love every side of him, I love that he can't control them and they intermingle with one another.

"I love you too, more every single day." He pushes inside of me and goes as deep as he can, hitting all the right spots on the way in and the way out. My back arches up off of the bed and I watch his eyes as they watch the place where we are joined. The emotion is electric as is envelopes us both.

"I would do this every day, all day long if I could. God, I love being inside of you." His hands grip my hips and move until they are on the inside of my opened thighs. He reaches in further and uses his thumbs to pull open my lips and brush each thumb across my clit. The small movement is overwhelming in it effectiveness.

"Oh, god. Oh…" I lose thought and just feel.

"Just feel, baby, let me make you feel good. Please, oh God, Bella." He pushes in deep again and each thumb strikes me again in the exact spot that control the nerves in the lower half of my body.

His words, his movements, his love it all works against me and pushes me over the edge, once again.

Edward follows me, shuttering as he comes.

Later as cuddle in bed, we talk about what we saw and did. I ask him what he wants out of this weekend with Maria and Peter.

"Well, I know that we need the relaxation and the time together would be great." I narrow my eyes at him because he knows he totally gave me a bullshit answer.

"Yeah, yeah. What are your thoughts on being with Maria and Peter, I mean we've only done that once. Do you want to do that again?" I bite my lip in anticipation of what he will say, I will do whatever he wants but I really do want to try this again.

"Yeah, I mean I thought that was understood, for me it was."

"But there is a new player this time. The playing field is not stacked for our team, are you ready for that?"

"Yeah, I think I am. I mean I know how I felt with Maria and while it was nice, it didn't make me want to leave you and go home with her. You are my wife and I love you, not her. I'm sure that Peter feels the same way with her, that actually is part of the reason that I wanted to drive up with them on Saturday, to get to know them a little more. To see how he acts with her and make sure that there is no issues in their relationship that would make me worry about doing this with them." Edward pulled me into his arms and kisses my forehead. "There is no way I would ever expose you to some stranger unless his head is screwed on right, I promise." This doesn't surprise me about Edward at all, he has always put my wants and needs ahead of his.

"What about you?" I get shy when asking him for whatever reason.

"What about me?" He looks down at me and I can see from this angle how his eyelashes touch his cheeks when he lowers his head this way, so sexy.

"Are you going to participate with Peter?" Still not exactly what I wanted to say but close enough.

"You mean like me and him without you girls?" His tone is unreadable.

"Yeah." My voice is so quiet that it is almost impossible to hear.

"I've been giving that some thought as well." He takes a deep breath. "I'm pretty sure that I am. I mean if that's okay with you, I think I want to. At least I'm open to trying it."

A large part of me jumps for joy at the thought of watching Edward with another man. Oh boy am I going to love this weekend. "Yeah that's okay with me, if I'm honest about it, I think I'm extremely turned on at the thought."

Edward flips me and looms over my body, pressing me into the bed. "Oh yeah, so my dirty girl wants to watch me, huh?"

"Fuck yeah I do." I lick the side of his jaw and bit down on his ear lobe.

"Well then, you, my dear, will get what you want. Now get to sleep, we need our rest after tonight." He kisses me sweetly and we fall asleep in each other's arms.

MAT-Chapter 1- Alternate Ending

Chapter 1- Alternate Ending

I was contacted by a sweet ffn reader and she asked for some specific actions between Bella/Edward/Maria. So I wrote it for her, cause to be honest this is where I wanted it to go anyway.

With that said, this outtake will include actual sex between Edward and Maria. Now I know that squeaks some of you out, if so do not read on. If this doesn't bother you then by all means continue!

The bold print is where this takes up and ends within the original one shot. So it is just added at the end before Maria leaves. Enjoy!

---

As we all three calmed down and lay side by side breathing, I was glad that Bella's fantasies seemed to be completely fulfilled.

I drifted off to sleep because I awoke to Bella and Maria sandwiched around me. Each one kissing the side that they were pressed against, Bella behind me, Maria in front of me. I kept my eyes closed and waited to see where this little experiment was heading.

Maria giggled as she licked across my nipple and it hardened for her. "You must have worn him out, Bella dear. He's still sound asleep."

I made sure to lie really, really still. I was in heaven; the extreme pleasure that ran through me with each of these beautiful women's mouths on me was indescribable. But I didn't want to violate the rules that Bella set up so I would allow her to lead this.

"Lick his cock, he'll wake up then!" Bella giggled. Obviously the two of them have been in the liquor cabinet in my study, Bella only giggled when she was tipsy.

"Can I?" Maria asked, leaning closer to Bella over my shoulder and in the process pressing herself fully against me. Her curves were so different than Bella's, she almost felt wrong against me. I felt Bella's head nod her affirmative answer against my shoulder.

Maria shimmied down my body and pulled my cock into her hands. Almost as if the two were linked, Bella pulled herself up and slightly leaned over my body to see Maria's actions. Bella groaned as Maria's mouth engulfed my already hard cock.

"Deeper, can you take it deeper?" Bella's husky voice rang out as Maria bobbed down even further on me. Bella began to kiss my neck and my ruse of sleep was lost then. I couldn't deny the dual sensations any longer. I turned and kissed Bella back, my tongue slid into her open and ready mouth.

"Baby?" I questioned Bella. Hoping she understood the exact question that I posed, because fuck if I did. My brain and my heart were at odds right now and I had no idea who would win this one. I wanted Maria, wanted to be with her, I won't lie. She was a beautiful girl and she certainly turned me on. But on the other hand I didn't want to hurt Bella. I would adhere to any guidelines that she set because no amount of sex, no matter how good it is, is worth losing her. Ever!

"Relax, she knows what she is doing, just enjoy it." Bella murmured against my lips.

"But…we agreed. I mean I don't want to hurt you, this isn't about me, it's about you tonight." I tried to reason with her again. I certainly didn't want her to make a 'drunk' decision that would cause us harm either. "How much have you had to drink?" I asked as gently as I could.

She shook her head and held up her hand to indicate one drink. Bella was no lush but she could certainly take one drink and not be anywhere near tipsy so I relaxed on the drinking issue.

"Is it okay if we change the rules?" The timid, unsure voice that came out of Bella was certainly a surprise after the evening we had already had.

"What did you have in mind?" I asked, not certain exactly where she wanted to take this.

She leaned closer to my ear and whispered right against the skin. "I wanna see you fuck Maria." Her voice was husky, I could hear the desire dripping off of each word.

To say I was stunned was a huge understatement! I couldn't process words past the ones Bella just uttered! And the whole time Maria is still working over my cock with her wonderful lips.

I shifted my body to be able to see her face better, "Are you sure, this is about you, not me." I stuttered at her, my brain was screaming at me to shut the hell up and get on with the sex.

"I'm sure." Her eyes showed her clear decision.

"Bella…"

She threw her hand up and stopped the words about to come from my lips. "Edward the fact that you are so hesitant to go with this shows me that you would never do this if I hadn't asked you. I trust you, I promise I do. You both have given me so much pleasure and I want you to enjoy some as well, as a thank you for trusting me and giving me this. Please." She pulled out the pouty smile and looked at me through her eyelashes. Gone! I was helpless to deny her anything, especially when she pulled out this particular look.

"Okay." That was my intelligent answer to her. Her eyes lit up and she immediately shifted around beside me and pulled me flat onto my back. Maria followed us. Bella pulled her up and kissed her hot mouth again.

I watched as Bella pulled my cock upright in her hand and positioned Maria over it. Maria slid down onto it while Bella held it for her. The pleasure was too much to comprehend.

Once Maria completely encased my cock, Bella shuffled up and took her place over my face. She faced Maria and I could hear them kissing as I worked each one over, one with my mouth and the other with my cock.

Maria moaned and thrashed over me, she was warm and felt wonderful, but she was not my Bella. Her pussy was not as tight and somehow didn't work me in quite the same way that Bella did.

I lost contact with Bella's delicious pussy for a moment when she leaned forward, but immediately felt her hand split open in a "V" around my cock as I slid in and out of Maria. I moaned just as Bella pushed her warm center back over my lips. Bella squirmed over and over as her orgasm rushed through her. I held her hips tightly against me as I helped her ride it out.

Once Bella was satiated, I pushed her back off of my face and leaned up to flip Maria over. Now it was her turn.

"Put her on her knees, you can fuck her harder that way." Bella offered. I was certainly all for this position, as it did give me deeper penetration. I was also able to thrust harder as well, because when Bella is really worked up she likes the harder thrusts. I wondered if Maria liked the same things also. I realized that as I was musing in my head, Bella and Maria were changing positions.

Bella now lay on her back with Maria hovering above her waiting for me to continue with her. As I moved into position behind Maria I mouthed to Bella, 'I Love You'. I wanted her to know that this changed nothing and she was still most important in my life. In my vows I promised to love her every day of forever, and I meant those words. She would always be the most important person in my life.

Bella's smile settled the issue in my heart; I knew she was on the same page with me. We both knew this was an adventure and not a normal thing for us. With my panic gone, I plunged back into Maria. I cherished the feeling of being in her, only for the reason that I felt gratitude towards her for allowing me to give Bella this fantasy without any strings attached to it. Maria knew that we were there for a one time deal, not a new relationship. She would take it for what it was-fun only.

I snapped back to the moment and realized that I had been deep inside my head and therefore semi neglectful to the two beautiful ladies I had in front of me. Bella punctuated this for me with clarity when she moved her hand into place between Maria and me. Once again her fingers fell open into a "V" formation and she pressed against Maria's wet clit as she massaged my cock as I slid in and out of my destination. I almost lost it, the combination of Bella's hand and Maria's pussy, it was almost too much.

Just as I realized that this may soon be over for me, Bella shimmied out from underneath us and darted off of the bed. Maria glanced at me over her shoulder and we both froze, unsure of the exact cause of Bella's hasty departure. Before either of us could make a move to figure the mystery out Bella appeared again. She was carrying a box, the most important box in our house. The box that kept her 'toys' hidden.

Bella had a large supply of toys, I loved to watch her whenever she bought a new one. She would lay herself out on the bed, spread her legs and figure out exactly how fast she could make herself come with it. I loved to figure out what made her come the fastest.

Bella laid the box on the bed up by Maria's head, and proceeded to open it. I could tell the exact moment when Maria saw what Bella's box contained. I felt her body halt infinitesimally, and her breathing picked up. Apparently Maria liked toys as well.

"Edward, let's turn Maria back over and see if she likes my collection. What do you say to that?" Bella purred. She sounded so exotic and seductive. Maria was already moving herself before I could help her in any way. Maria was certainly ready for whatever Bella had in mind.

When Maria was on her back, Bella positioned me on my knees and back between Maria's legs. Her sweet little hand guided my throbbing cock back into Maria. Bella laid down on the bed behind me so that she could see through my spread knees and look directly at my cock pumping in and out of Maria's sweet pussy. Once my rhythm was built back up Bella squeezed some lube on her fingers and massaged it all over Maria's ass. Bella took her ribbed purple jelly vibrator and slowly worked it into Maria's ass. Maria began to swear and thrash around, I had to admit the vibration was amazing feeling.

"Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck…don't stop, don't fucking stop. Oh shit, deeper, Bella, deeper." Maria began to incoherently talk as Bella and I fucked her simultaneously. She pulled her legs up and rested them against her torso, opening herself up to both of us even further. I felt the vibration increase in Maria's ass, pulling Maria's orgasm right along with it. Bella began moving the vibrator in and out, prolonging her sweet torture.

I felt the tell tale tightening in my balls and began to thrust deeper in to match Bella. When I couldn't fight off my release any longer, I pushed in as far as I could and then pulled all the way out of Maria. I pumped my erection as I came all over Maria's sweet pussy lips. Bella immediately removed the vibrator and pushed me out of the way to lean over and lick up every drop I had spilled onto Maria.

This action caused Maria to begin to thrash about again as Bella licked her pussy clean. I felt sad that Maria and I both had enjoyed an orgasm but Bella appeared to be left without one. I decided to change that right now, Bella was the star of this show and she would not walk away from tonight out shown by anyone.

I moved down to the end of the bed and picked up the vibrator that Bella had previously been using in Maria, and slid it deep inside Bella. At the same time I attached my mouth around her swollen clit and began to suck on it. When the vibration began Bella lost it. She began to writhe around on my face and push herself down on the vibrator. Again, very little sound came from Bella as she rode out her orgasm. Just a small, faint whisper of my name over and over again.

At some point after that we all drifted off to sleep because when I woke up, Bella and I were curled up against each other covered by an extra blanket from our closet. Both of us were still undressed but Maria was no longer with us. I noticed that she had left a note for us on my nightstand.

Dear Bella & Edward,

Thank you so much for a night of fun and pleasure. I enjoyed myself in every way. If, Dear Bella, you ever decide that Edward is not for you anymore, please look me up. I am certain that we would be oh so happy together. I hope it was all you dreamed of and more. Happy Birthday, Dear Bella.

Love and Kisses,

Maria

P.S. Edward, you win! You two are perfect for each other, never let her go!

I dropped the note back down onto my nightstand. Maria had another thing coming if she ever thought that I was stupid enough to allow Bella to leave me. It was never going to happen. I snuggled closer to Bella and whispered, "Happy Birthday, baby." Then I drifted back to sleep and enjoyed just holding her against me.
