Bella's POV

As my love strolled toward us, the things that had happened earlier in the week began to make sense. This punishment was unusual because normally making him lose control before I did only resulted in a very satisfying spanking. It had never required something of this caliber. Second, he had ordered me to keep my shield down. I figured this was just because he wanted to enjoy my tormented ecstasy.

I also knew that the Cullens practiced polyamory to some degree. I didn't know if Edward participated. He'd certainly never mentioned it to me. He also hadn't mentioned Jasper was home. I usually tried to guard my more carnal emotions from him. I wasn't sure how well it worked, but I didn't want to make things harder on Jazz than I had to. Although by the looks of it things were plenty hard for him at the moment.

Edward walked over to Jasper, seemingly ignoring me. He surveyed his naked foster brother critically, seeming indifferent. The obvious tent in his khakis was the only sign our thoughts had reached him. He had obviously planned it.

"You want to fuck my wife. I want to watch. Do we have a deal?

Once I realized what Edward's plan was, I was desperate for Jasper to accept his terms Thanks to Edward's punishment, I was just plain desperate. My exhaustion had been forgotten under Jasper's ministrations; I was ready to go. My body ached for the delicious friction of his fingers inside me again.

I cursed the fact that my arms were still restrained, making it impossible to touch myself. Not that Edward would let me anyway. He loved keeping me on the edge, teasing and taunting me until I lost my sanity underneath him. My orgasms rarely came easy, but they were always worth it.

I watched Jasper deliberating. He glanced my way and I meant to tell him I wanted it as long as he did. Instead, all that slipped out was a breathless, "please". I hated how needy I sounded. It usually took much longer before I begged. Although I suppose Jasper had the upper hand there too.

His emotional manipulation had made my desire skyrocket. I appreciated the fact that he was controlling himself enough to allow me to know what I wanted without his influence. It was sweet, especially seeing the evidence of his need for me.

I felt him testing my emotions, looking for doubt, before we crossed this line. Finding none, he accepted Edward's offer. My husband smiled finally, my favorite crooked grin. His eyes were black with lust, making the smile seem predatory as he finally turned his gaze on me. I felt exposed in a way that had nothing to do with my nudity and an enticing shiver slid down my spine. I never usually let my shield down in front of anyone but Edward. It left me feeling uncomfortably like prey.

Picking that thought from my head, Edward was on me in a flash. His warm breath fluttered across my cheek and I felt him nip the shell of my ear with his teeth. A low, dangerous, very sexy growl rumbled through his frame.

"That's a fitting comparison. I assure you I plan on devouring you tonight, my dear." His voice was husky in my ear. The rough velvet of his voice was almost a physical caress. The promise in his erotic words made my body tighten with need. He kissed me once, almost a chaste smooch. "Have fun with Jasper." Edward told me as he settled in an armchair in the corner

A/N: Sorry this chapter is a bit boring. I'm working on Chapter 3 and it'll be up probably today or tomorrow.
