Chapter 22

"I'll be there. I can't wait to see you. Break a leg tonight."

"I can't wait to see you either. I love you."

"I love you too, baby." I murmured into the phone, sadly before I hung up.

I had been at Rose's house for the past three days, looking after her while Emmett was away. Normally I would love spending time with my bestfriend, but Alice and I had only just gotten back on good terms before I left and I hated being away from her.

I thought back to the morning after our make up…

I opened my eyes to see a bleary face hovering over me.

"Alice?"

"Do you think we have too much sex?" She asked abruptly, causing my brain to jolt awake, even though my body was still half asleep. It resulted in a garble of words that tried to get out of my mouth before it was ready. Alice didn't even seem to notice. "I mean, here we are fighting because you said I was pushing sex on you so much that you couldn't think, and then what do I do? I go and sleep with you again? Maybe you were right? Maybe I'm just a big slutty…"

"You are not a slut!" I interrupted, finally gaining some control over my body. "And you don't push sex on me. I'm a willing participant. Every time, anytime."

"But…"

"I should never have said that. Ever since the words left my lips I've wished I could take them back." I said seriously, holding her face in my hands gently. "Besides, last night was my doing. I just wanted to show you how much you mean to me, and words didn't seem to be enough." Alice looked up at me with a watery smile and I kissed her forehead, pulling her back down with me, and hugging her body to mine.

"So you don't think our relationship is too physical?" Alice asked, snuggling into my side. I couldn't help but laugh softly.

"Baby, I won't deny that I absolutely love your body. I want to be touching you constantly, whether holding your hand, or…something more intimate. And what turns me on more than anything is seeing that same lust in your eyes, knowing that it's for me, that I can make you so hot that you need to have me right then. But just because we express our love physically, doesn't make it any less meaningful."

Alice kissed my collarbone, humming her agreement. Eventually, we dozed off again, Alice wrapped up in my arms.

"Bella, will you bring me a bowl of chocolate ice cream? Pleeeeease?" I heard Rose's pleas from the living room, coming out of my thoughts and rolling my eyes. Are all pregnant women so whiny? Never the less, I grabbed a bowl from the cupboard and began spooning in the double fudge brownie ice cream, Emmett had stockpiled in their freezer. Apparently, Rose only had two food groups these days: chocolate ice cream and Grilled cheese and bologna sandwiches. I guess I could be thankful she wasn't eating anything weirder yet, like pickles and cream cheese. I wonder if those would come later on. She was just barely showing still. In fact, I wondered if all these symptoms were just a placebo effect created from reading all those pregnancy books.

"Here…" I said, handing Rose the bowl. She dug in immediately, taking about half a scoop on the spoon.

"I still can't believe Tanya had the balls to say that to you. She must be really pent up now without Alice." Rose managed to say through her ice cream lust. I rolled my eyes. It was probably a mistake to think I could go to the club without a negative response, but I hadn't expected anyone to blatantly call me out like Tanya did.

Rose and I had gone for a steam and lunch, since there isn't much else to do in this neighborhood. I wasn't completely naïve, so when we walked into the steam room to silence and then whispered muttering and scathing glances, it didn't surprise me. Rose and I simply kept to ourselves, and ignored the obvious disapproving and angry looks I was getting. It was annoying, but I could handle it. I suppose Tanya never was one to keep her thoughts to herself.

"Well, look what the cat dragged in."

"Good Morning, Tanya." I said, trying to keep things semi pleasant.

"You've got quite a lot of nerve to show your face here after ruining things for everyone."

"I'm sure I don't know what you mean."

"I mean being a selfish bitch and stealing Alice away from us." I gaped at Tanya, while the murmurs and gasps rose in volume. Now that she was the center of attention, of course she had to continue. "Not that she was that good anyway." She chuckled condescendingly, "To think you actually gave up Edward for a little whore who's been between more legs than a gynecologist."

I was fairly fuming by this point. How dare she talk about Alice that way! But before I could open my mouth, Rose was up, hands on her hips and glaring at Tanya fiercely.

"Oh please Tanya, everyone knows you're just jealous. I mean, your limp dick husband pops Viagra like candy and still can't get it up, while Bella's having earth shattering orgasms daily, maybe even on the hour." Tanya looked like she'd just swallowed her tongue, while the rest of the rooms occupants just stared at Rosalie in disbelief. Obviously having felt she made her point, Rose turned to me. "Come on Bella, let's go. I don't feel like shitty cucumber sandwiches today anyway." And with that, my bestfriend stormed out of the room. I couldn't help the grin spreading across my face as I ran after her.

Coming back to the present I just shrugged, taking the seat next to Rose. "Tanya never really liked me." I had just pulled a magazine off the table to flip through when the doorbell rang.

It was just Rose and I in the house, since I'd given her maid and Gemma the day off. "Are you expecting someone?" I asked her, and she looked from the door back to me, shaking her head with a frown. "I'll get it, you stay here." I said, when Rose started to get up off the couch. The bell rang again and I quickened my steps.

Pulling the door open, I froze. This day just keeps getting better and better.

"Hello Bella. My mother told me you were staying here." Edward said calmly, and I relaxed a bit. My eyes glanced down at the thick envelope in his hand, then back up to his eyes that seemed to be considering me.

"Umm, do you want to come in?" I asked, hesitantly. He shook his head.

"No, I can't stay for very long. I just came to give you the signed divorce papers in person and to tell you… I'm moving." My eyes widened and I opened my mouth to speak but nothing came out. It took me a minute to get my thoughts together, as he shoved the envelope into my hands.

"What? Why? Where are you going?" I rambled. I didn't want to drive him away from his family. He looked like he wanted to roll his eyes, and was trying very hard not to.

"Chicago. Emmett is going to run the company from here, but the Chicago office is really growing and it could use some direction. As to the reason why…I thought it'd be obvious." He snorted.

"Edward, I don't want you to leave your home."

"Well we don't always get what we want." He muttered scathingly, before taking a step back and running a hand through his hair with a deep breath. "I can't…" He scowled at the ground, taking a moment to formulate his thoughts. "Look, I just need to get away from here for a while. There are too many reminders and…well frankly, they aren't happy ones. I know my family would love for me to just apologize and accept your new relationship, so we can all get along again, but that's not going to happen." I gulped, sad to see the hardness in his eyes when he looked at me. "Just looking at you makes me…ill. I'm sick with anger and sadness at how you betrayed me. That's not something I can just get over. So I'm going away for a while to start fresh. I'll return eventually, and maybe with some time…well, who knows?" Edward said, looking off towards the yard.

"Really?" I asked hopefully. He turned back to face me, glaring, and I bit my lip.

"I said maybe. Right now, I can't even imagine forgiving you, so I wouldn't get your hopes up."

"Oh." I said staring down at my feet. Without another word Edward turned and started back down the path. "Wait, Edward!" I called out, not even knowing why. He turned his head back, looking at me expectantly. "Umm, good luck…in Chicago, I mean." He nodded silently and I stood in the doorway watching until his car turned from the tree lined driveway and out of sight. As guilty as I felt admitting it, watching him drive away, with the signed divorce papers in my hand, the weight on my heart seemed to completely lift away. I felt free.

"Who was it?" Rose asked as I entered the living room and plopped on the couch next to her. I watched her expression go from surprise, to worry, to confusion, and finally, to happiness as I told her what had just taken place.

"So he just decided to move? Just like that?" Rose asked, as we sat facing each other on the couch.

"I guess so."

"Do you think he told Esme and Carlisle yet?" I shrugged.

"Probably. He said Emmett was going to take over the head of the company here while he's away, so I'm guessing they discussed it." It really was just a guess, because in business, as with life, Edward often just assumed things would play out a certain way…his way.

"Huh." Rosalie murmured, as we both fell into silent thought. "Well let's not dwell on this news tonight, okay? We're going to Alice's play and we're going to have fun…just as soon as you help me get my fat ass into a dress." Rose muttered the last part, as I helped her up from the couch, rolling my eyes.

"You're not fat."

"That's not what these size ten pants say."

"First of all, pregnant women shouldn't fit in size six pants anyway, secondly, size ten is still not fat." I argued. Rose huffed, but led the way up the stairs so we could get ready.

Two hours later, Rose was in a cute cotton dress and I was wearing a short, but flowing summery skirt with a light blouse, and we were finally ready to go. It had taken me twenty minutes to convince Rose to wear flats, so I wouldn't have to hear here complain all night about her feet being sore.

We made our way out to the hired car, since I wouldn't be coming back with Rose, and I didn't want her driving herself.

"Wait." Rose stopped suddenly turning back to me, her face anxious. "Are you sure this dress doesn't make me look pudgy?"

"No, you look gorgeous as always, now get in the car, or we'll be late!" I said, shaking my head at my friend's ridiculousness.

It took us a while to get into the city with Friday night traffic. Thankfully I had planned on that, and Rose and I passed the time watching Friends episodes on my portable dvd player. We stopped briefly at the florist so I could pick up the flower arrangement I'd ordered for Alice and then headed to the theatre. I wanted to get there early, but at this point we'd only just be making it on time.

"Finally!" I groaned, jumping out of the car and turning to help Rose out. Taking her hand I led us into the theatre. Our seats were right up front and a little to the right, since Alice said that would be the best place to see her from. I guess she did most of her acting on that side of the stage.

The stage was set up like an old fashioned bar. If I had to guess I'd say it was supposed to be mid 19th century, but with some modernity mixed in. The only one on the stage was the main actress, who I'd met a couple times with Alice at the theater.

She started singing about being lonely and not having a dream. Then suddenly she was joined on stage by what seemed like the whole cast, barring her love interest. Alice immediately caught my attention. She was wearing rags and had dirt on her face while she weaved between the dancers nervously. The main character, Carmen, was singing about how she came to work at the bar/brothel and I guess Alice was kind of a visual for that, even though she wasn't the same character. All of the sudden she was pulled into the middle of a huddle of the corseted women, while the singing reached a crescendo. A minute later, the group broke apart revealing Alice in her similar corset. Hers stood out because the ribbon running through it was light pink whereas the others were dark pink. I guess it was to show that she was still a virgin. I couldn't help grinning at that.

It was a good thing I'd seen her in the costume before, or I'd have been a drooling mess and missed the rest of the play. She looked absolutely gorgeous and SO sexy. We'd definitely be having a steamy reunion tonight! Not that we wouldn't have anyway.

The play went on, introducing the love interest and the problems with Carmen working in a brothel. Alice's story was sort of a background feature. They would talk about who would pay the most to take her virtue and the girls would give her advice. Carmen seemed to pity her a bit. As it went on, Alice lost her shyness, and began dancing in step with the others. I was secretly hoping that Carmen would rescue her in the end and taker her away before her virginity was sold to the highest bidder, but I knew that wouldn't happen. Alice had given away enough that I wasn't surprised when one of the greasy old men took her through the door, and you could see their silhouettes behind a paper window. When she came back out, the ribbon in her corset had been changed to dark pink. It was bad enough having to imagine Alice actually doing what it looked like with that guy, so I was relieved that she never had to actually kiss anyone. I suppose that was something I'd have to get over though, having an actress for a girlfriend.

When the play ended, the room broke into applause and everyone stood. A few people even whistled. The curtain rose and the actors came out a few at a time. When it was Alice's turn, she came out with one of the other corseted girls who had more lines than the others and I threw my flowers up on stage. Alice grinned widely, scooping up the flowers to her chest and sending me a dazzling smile. She put her hand to her lips and blew me a kiss before dancing her way into the line so Carmen and her lover could come to the front. Rose and I continued cheering with everyone a while after the curtain went back down. Since it was the first show, I would guess we weren't the only family and friends in the audience.

"Come on! Let's go wait for Alice by the stage door!" Rose said excitedly, grabbing my arm. I was just able to grab my purse from beneath the seat before she pulled me hurriedly toward the aisle. As we turned the corner, I was surprised to see Avery, even though I shouldn't have been. After all, Rachel was the costume designer.

"Hi Bella." He said in his usual quiet way, hands stuffed in his pockets. "Alice looked great up there. She was really good." I smiled, nodding.

"Yeah, she's amazing, but so were those costumes!" Avery beamed.

"Rachel has been stressing out over them the past few days. She wasn't sure if she should have gone a different way with Thomas's style." Thomas was the love interest.

"I thought he looked perfect."

"Well, thank you Bella." Rachel said, catching us all by surprise as she strolled up, leaning in to give Avery a quick kiss. "Alice will be out in a couple minutes, Bella. The girls dragged her into celebrating with them, but I'm sure she'll sneak away soon. She's been itching to see you like crazy the last few days." Rachel said with a wink, as she leaned into Avery's side. The grin splitting my face was almost painful and Rose started laughing, causing the other two to join her.

"Oh shut up." I muttered. "Actually, since you're here, Avery, I had an idea I wanted to run past you." I had planned on telling him about it when he came to the Gallery next Thursday, but doing it now would distract me from waiting for Alice. Avery nodded. "I happened to see that the MET is putting together a new exhibition for the fall. It's going to be young, local artists. It would be perfect exposure for your work." I said excitedly. Avery and Rachel's eyes widened comically.

"That would be amazing, Bella, but what are the odds they would select my work for it?"

Rose and I glanced at each other and I signaled for her to tell him with my eyes.

"Normally, it would probably be pretty hard, but it just so happens that I am good friends with the Met's assistant director of public relations and her father is a long time friend of the curator. Between the two of them, I suspect getting your work selected won't be a problem." Avery seemed torn between smiling and frowning at this news, and I knew why.

"Even with our connections, they wouldn't take your work if it wasn't excellent. They do have a reputation to uphold. Personally, I think you could get in without our help, but why take the chance of a stupid selection committee." I smiled and saw Rachel nudge his side when he still seemed contemplative.

"Come on, babe. I know it's just the Met, but you have to start somewhere." She teased and Avery finally smiled, looking at her adoringly.

"Well I was hoping for a little more class, like the Gugg or something, but I suppose I can make do." He joked, squeezing Rachel's side gently, before turning back to Rose and I and holding his hand out. "Thank you, Bella, Rose." He said, shaking each of our hands politely.

"Yes, thank you." Rachel agreed, grinning at Rose and I. "I'm sorry to be rude, but I'm exhausted."

"Really? I didn't know that was possible for you." I said chuckling, when she stuck her tongue out, a move so reminiscent of Alice that it made my heart clench with anticipation.

"Yes, even I need sleep. Take me home, babe." She said, slumping against Avery's side while he laughed with Rose and I. In one swift move, he had pulled her up onto him, piggyback style and they both bid us goodnight.

"They're cute." Rose commented absently, as we both turned back to the door. My anxiousness was becoming overwhelming as I shifted side to side, and I saw Rose laughing quietly at me out of the corner of my eye.

The door finally opened and I froze waiting to see if it would be Alice this time. Unfortunately, it was just a large stagehand, who was immediately engulfed by family members off to the side. Huffing, my chin dropped to my chest, and I stared at my shoes. 'Where is she?'

A sharp elbow caused me to look up at Rose whose eyes were pointedly looking towards the door. I followed their line to see my beautiful girl standing there, staring back at me like she couldn't believe I was really here. And then suddenly she was moving, sprinting towards me and throwing herself into my arms, as I captured both her body and her lips in a fierce embrace.

"Bella." She whispered against my lips before searing them again in a passionate kiss.

"Oh, baby." I mumbled against her skin as I kissed down her jaw briefly before reclaiming the swollen pink clouds.

A throat cleared in the background, but we easily ignored it, in favor of each other. The sharp slap to the back of my head was slightly harder to ignore and I reluctantly pulled back from Alice to glare at my friend who was grinning smugly at us.

"What the hell, Rose?"

"Well, excuse me for breaking you two up before you start fucking right here on the sidewalk." She said low enough that only Alice and I heard. The girl in my arms giggled sweetly, her head falling against my shoulder while I blushed bright red at all the faces staring at us. Oops.

"Besides, I wasn't waiting around here for a voyeuristic thrill. I wanted to congratulate Alice." Rose said, as we all began unconsciously moving away from the crowd towards the road. I finally set Alice down so she could hug Rosalie. "You looked incredible up on that stage Alice. Acting really suits you." Rose complimented and Alice thanked her, smiling brightly as they pulled apart. "Where are your flowers?" She asked, bringing the missing bouquet to my attention as well. Alice gasped, looking back towards the door.

"Oh! I must have forgotten them in the dressing room. I was just in such a hurry…" When she made a move back towards the building I pulled her into my body.

"Forget them. I'm not letting you go for the rest of the night." I said softly, as I bent down towards her ear, sneaking in a couple kisses to her neck. A little moan escaped Alice's lips before she squeaked out a small ok.

"Well, I'll just be going then, so you two can go have your fun. Try to make it back to the apartment before stripping each other's clothes off okay?" Rose said chuckling as she walked off towards where the car was parked waiting for her. Alice and I both called out distracted goodbyes as we stared into each other's eyes. Hers were a deep sparkling blue that sent a jolt through my body. God! How I had missed those eyes.

"Let's go home." Alice purred, pulling me into another deep kiss. Despite her words, neither of us moved anywhere except the wall of the building next to us where I let my body settle against hers, pinning her there, while she wrapped one of her legs high on my hip, in that limber way she does. I moaned at the feel of her body pressed to mine. The fact that we might get picked up for public indecency was of no matter to me, as my hands trailed to her ass, pulling her hips off the wall and flush with my own. "Ungh." Alice groaned softly when I pushed my thigh into her center. My face was buried between her neck and shoulder now, ravishing the skin there with bites and opened mouth kisses.

"WOOO! Go Alice!" A female voice called out, and I felt Alice's right arm raise up, probably flipping someone off. "GET IT GIRL!" They laughed, and I couldn't help giggling a little against Alice, before pulling myself away from her and taking her hand.

"Come on." I said, smiling at the pouting Alice who was shooting playful glares over at her cast mates. Finally, she huffed and followed me down the sidewalk.

It took a while to get home, even though we lived less than ten blocks away. We would walk for a while before one of us would give into the tension and we'd have to stop for at least a few minutes of kissing heatedly and touching each other, trying to keep our actions restrained in the public area. It was still early enough that quite a few people were out walking around. Our neighborhood was always pretty busy, with so many young people and night owls living here. In fact, I was pretty sure that a lot of the professional artists here were nocturnal.

Alice stopped us once again, pushing me against a building, barely a hundred feet from the door of my store. Her lips moved frantically against my own, and while our street was quieter than the one we'd just been on, there were still people around.

"Baby…mmm, Baby!" I moaned when her hand slipped up the front of my shirt, rubbing teasingly against my stomach, and occasionally dipping her fingers into the top of my skirt. "It's just a little further." I breathed softly, into her neck , before attacking it with my mouth. Alice gasped.

"Too far." She moaned. Realizing that my body wasn't keen to let her go either, I made up my mind.

"Jump up, sweetheart." I whispered, cupping her ass in my hands as she hopped into my arms, squeezing her thighs around my hips, her legs bent rather than wrapped around me, as I walked us swiftly towards our door, our mouths locked in an embrace once more. Alice adjusted her legs so she could hold herself up, while I fumbled for the keys in my purse. Eventually, we made it inside and I locked the door behind us, hitting the switch for the automatic grill to lower over the front of the building. We somehow managed to stumble up the stairs, drop the purses in the hallway and fall into our apartment, all without letting our lips separate for more than a second. I fell onto the couch, with Alice beneath me and a second later her tiny tank top was across the room, soon to be joined by her bra.

"One second." Alice breathed into my ear, as I began my trek over her collarbone.

"What?" I mumbled into her skin, barely noticing her reach for the coffee table. A mechanical sound caught my ears a moment later and I looked up to see deep burgundy shades moving to cover the large windows to the street. I looked down at a thoroughly ravaged looking Alice and grinned. "Now, you're worried about people seeing us?" She rolled her eyes at me.

"No, I just wanted to show you the new shades. I got them put in while you were gone for a surprise."

"Good idea." I said before quickly returning to my previous activity. The short break allowed just enough time to slow our frenzied pace, which was perhaps Alice's intention. That's not to say our actions weren't just as passionate, but my mind was less frazzled now, and I could enjoy each quiver of Alice's body under my lips. I could savor the taste of her soft skin and the sound of the little whimpers and moans I caused to leave her mouth. It was glorious.

"Bella." She whispered to the room, as I pulled the lacey cup of her bra down, revealing the perfect breast hidden beneath. My lips wrapped around the already swollen nipple, loving it tenderly, while my other hand worked to relieve her of the undergarment all together. "Oh, yes." She breathed, her tight little body slumping against the pillows slightly as my hand moved to massage the other newly freed mound.

"Ohhhhhh, God!" She moaned loudly, arching her body up, as my other hand grabbed her firmly between the legs. I pressed harder into her pussy through her jeans. I could feel the heat plainly, even through two barriers of clothing.

"You feel so hot for me, baby." I purred, leaning up just enough to peck her panting mouth. She whimpered, her lip trembling.

"Please." Her soft plea was so sexy to my ears. I had to have her. Leaving her chest lonely for the moment, I moved down, making love to her stomach and adorable little belly button, while my hands worked furiously to get her out of her jeans. She wiggled her hips, her thighs rubbing together, as I pulled the tight pants down off her legs. All that remained was the smallest light pink thong I had ever seen. Barely an inch of fabric stood between me and her most precious spot.

My eyes possessively took in every bit of Alice's perfect body, before I grabbed a thigh in each hand and spread her legs wide, settling my body between them and plundering her mouth. Just as I began moving south again, Alice tangled her hand in my hair, grabbing my attention.

"Wait." She whispered, and I saw a hint of nervousness for the first time in her eyes. I sat up, gob smacked as I held her gaze. Where sex was involved, Alice had never been nervous.

"What's wrong Baby?" I cooed, slipping up to lay beside her, watching her carefully.

"Nothing." She chuckled shyly, before slipping off the couch and standing. "I just, wanted…hold on." She instructed, leaving me completely dazed and confused while she hurried into our bedroom, returning a moment later with…

"Alice?" I gasped, taking in, what I deduced to be a purple strap on in her hand. I'd never actually seen one, but I wasn't an idiot either. Even though it didn't actually have a strap, as one would think, I could figure out how it worked. She caught my eye, shifting anxiously. She looked at me pleadingly, but still nervous. "Have you never…" I let the question hang in the air between us, as Alice blushed an adorable pink. She shook her head and my eyes widened. I guess kissing hadn't been the only thing she didn't allow the others to do. "Are you sure you…"

"Yes!" She said, almost desperately, closing the distance between us and crawling up into my lap. "I want you to do it." She stared at me with so much love, I thought my heart would burst. The idea that she had saved this for me, also escalated my excitement incredibly, and soon my panties were uncomfortably wet. "Please, can we try it?" She asked, and all I could do was nod. Alice quickly went to work, pulling me up and unzipping my skirt. In a matter of seconds I was completely naked. "Let's get you ready." Alice purred, pushing me back onto the couch and dropping to her knees in front of me. I didn't bother telling her I had been ready since our kiss back at the theater. I was fairly certain she knew that. I was also well aware that Alice was a giver. She got off on it.

She ducked her head between my legs without warning, taking a long swipe of my throbbing core with her tongue, before zeroing in on my clit. It barely took a minute of Alice's special treatment before I was completely lost in pleasure.

"Oh! OH, BABY!" I cried, my legs trembling weakly as I pulled Alice's face into me further by her hair.

"Mmm, yeah. Ride me, Bella." Alice husked, as my hips bucked, her tongue thrusting in and out of me while her nose bumped against my sensitive button.

"FUCK!" I screamed, pulling harder on her hair. Alice had this way of eating me roughly, where it felt like she was trying to crawl inside face first. There are no words to describe just how amazing she is at that. "I'M…OH GOD! ALICE!"

"You cumming Baby? Good Girl. Cum on my tongue." Baby was normally my endearment for Alice, but something about hearing her call me it, sent me reeling. I screamed her name, much to her delight, and convulsed wildly against her mouth, flooding it with my release.

I slumped back against the couch, my whole body was sweating profusely, yet chills ran across my skin. Alice grinned up at me smugly.

"I think you're ready now." She said, grabbing the purple contraption from the table behind her. She pulled back a piece of the silicone material at the corner and hit a button, causing the end that looked something like a beehive to begin vibrating. My eyes widened as she brought it to my entrance and I realized it was going to be inside me! Alice giggled at my expression, prepping me a little more by thrusting in three fingers. I squirmed on the couch, still sensitive from my last orgasm, but soon my body had fallen back into the rhythm. Carefully, Alice eased the end into me and I stretched to accommodate the fairly thick knob. I closed my eyes, breathing heavily as the vibrations made my body hum. Alice pulled up the other end to test it and the corner hit my clit, causing me to gasp. Alice giggled and I glared mockingly at her before pulling her up into my lap and rolling us, so she lay beneath me once more.

"Your turn." I purred, taking her mouth in a deep and wet kiss. Her face was still sticky with my juices, which only turned me on more. I heard Alice gasp as the head of my fake cock slipped against her entrance. I pulled back, taking in the nervousness that had returned to her eyes. I wasn't sure exactly why she was so worried. Her virginity had long since been taken. My fingers had been deep enough to confirm that. "Are you okay, Ali? We don't have to…"

"No, I'm fine. I want to." She was quick to assure. I nodded, leaning in to kiss her again. I trailed my lips down to her ear, nibbling lightly on the lobe.

"We'll go slowly, okay Baby? I'll take good care of you." I whispered, repeating the words she'd said to me the first time we met. She placed a soft, grateful kiss to my shoulder. It was only a moment later that her worries seemed to have left her.

"God! I love feeling your tits against me." Alice moaned, as I dragged my body down hers to take her rosy nipples between my lips. I hummed against her, acknowledging the unspoken request by letting my breasts rub slowly up to her chest and back down her stomach. Once I had made her nipples red from my attention, I kissed down her stomach, until I finally reached the tiny pink thong again. It had darkened with her sweat and sweet honey. Catching her eyes playfully, I nipped at her hip before taking the tiny strap of her thong between my teeth and pulling it down. My hands easily finished the work and Alice lay bare before me as I knelt between her legs. Her small hands travelled slowly down her body, while she lifted her legs, spreading them wide. Two fingers opened the petals to her beautiful flower, offering herself unabashedly, as I stared. "Welcome home, Baby." She purred.

A whimper left my lips and I only glanced at the smirk on Alice's face before attacking her pussy with such a fervor I surprised the both of us, and I heard my lover gasp. The gasp quickly became a moan as I lovingly played with her clit while thrusting one finger into her. Alice was tight. It didn't matter how many women she'd been with, she was as tight as I would imagine a virgin to be. So I always needed to work up with her. I wiggled my finger making room for a second, then eventually a third. Holding Alice's hips still was like trying to tame a bucking bronco. I finally gave up and just tried to move with her. She cried out loudly when I curled my fingers.

"Now….NOW BELLA!" I could have made her beg, but I chose not to, mainly because all the moving around was pressing the damn dildo into my clit, and the vibrations had already made me cum once.

I pulled my body up Alice's so we were face to face as I adjusted my hips. The tip of the strap on was right at her entrance now.

"Ready?" I asked one last time, and she nodded. I pushed into her, the motion causing me to moan as it moved the vibrating honey comb inside me. Alice's eyes widened as her tight heat stretched around the large cock. Once I was fully inside her, I held myself still. "You okay?" I asked in a strained whisper. The vibrations were coming down the shaft and thrumming against my clit. She nodded, still wide eyed, so I slowly moved back out and in, this time, her eyes closed briefly and a quiet groan slipped between her beautiful pink lips. "You like that, Baby?" I asked, smiling down at her dazed expression. I continued to move, picking up my speed a little. Alice's back arched, and I slipped off her to her side, pulling out in the process.

"Bella?" She asked softly, as I slid behind her, pulling her body back into my chest, and sinking the dildo back into her hot little hole. I rocked my hips against hers from behind, holding her breast in my hand. I squeezed the mound gently as I pressed kisses against the back of her neck. My thrusts got quicker and harder, the more Alice got into it. Truthfully, I hadn't really thought much about this possibility until I saw Alice holding it in her hand. But now, I loved it. The Dildo felt like an extension of myself. Even though I couldn't feel it, being able to touch so deep inside Alice caused me to gush down below. "Bella…Bella…Bella…so good...big…" Alice muttered in a haze of lust. Her words set me on fire.

"Mhmm." I purred into her ear, as her hips thrust backwards against mine aggressively. "Do you like the feel of my big cock in your tight little pussy?" I whispered teasingly. I giggled into her hair at the dirty words, but Alice didn't seem to find them funny. She was too busy cumming, apparently, as a torrent of liquid rushed down the cock and onto my thighs.

"OH MY GOD!" She screamed, thrusting back against me harder. She pulled herself off the impalement and turned in my arms, pushing me onto my back and crawling over me. Her eyes were wild and looked down at me lustfully. "Your big cock, huh?" She asked, smirking at my surprised expression. She reached behind her and pushe down on the appendage, causing the end inside me to press against my inner walls. I loud groan fell from my lips, and my hips bucked up into her hand. "No time for a hand job Bella. Get your huge dick back in me." She said, obviously fighting off her laughter.

In actuality, I didn't do anything. Alice slipped backwards, aligning the dildo and pressing herself back down onto it. Her hips began to bounce freely, while her chest stayed glued to mine. My hands trailed down her sides before squeezing the perfect globes of her ass and helping her keep the rhythm.

"I can't believe…Ohhh, yesss!….I can't believe you said that." She said, silencing my moans with an eager kiss. "My proper little debutant said…cock." Alice exclaimed, the words coming out very breathy as she panted. I could feel myself coming to another edge. I'd lost count of how many I'd fallen over already.

Alice sat up, her hands pressing down onto my stomach as she bounced up and down on me. Her perky breasts dazzled me with their alluring dance. Watching her body arch and move against me, was too much and I crashed into my orgasm, hips jerking wildly against Alice, who had threaded one of her hands into her hair, while she rode me like a cowboy would an angry bull.

I looked up to her face to see her watching me in rapt attention, her little mouth opened slightly as she continued to pant. I felt a primal urge fill my body with need and in a flash, I had grabbed Alice and flipped us so we came full circle back to our first position. Her eyes watched me fiercely, lustfully, almost animalistically, and I met her gaze with my own predatory one.

"Take me, Bella." She rasped, causing a moan to slip out of my mouth. I didn't need anymore instructions as I picked up our earlier motions without delay. My hips pistoned against her in hard, quick thrusts. Occasionally, I would hold myself inside, and wiggle my hips, trying to touch every bit of her. Alice, for her part, seemed close to losing her mind, which egged me on. Soon she was screaming her release, but the beast inside me was content. I needed more, and I got more. Two orgasms and one position later, Alice and I were completely spent and breathing heavily, curled up on the couch. I had since removed the purple dildo and it now lay back on the coffee table.

I could feel the cushions beneath us, wet with sweat and juices, and chuckled. "I think we ruined our couch." Alice shrugged.

"I think we made it better." She argued, cuddling my arm against her chest and snuggling further into my body. She must be cold. Grabbing the blanket, that was now falling off our back cushions, I draped it over us, before adjusting back into our previous position.

"Better?" I murmured, letting my nose run up the back of her ear and into her hair. She still smelled like her cherry blossom shampoo, amazingly. She hummed her agreement, but still stayed snug against me. In the comfortable silence, my mind began to wander back to earlier in the day and I realized I hadn't told Alice about Edward yet. "Ali." I said softly, pressing a kiss to her shoulder, and smiling at her sigh of contentment. "I want to tell you something."

She turned in my arms to face me, but wriggled her body down until her cheek pressed against my chest. Once she had settled herself again, I presumed I should continue.

"Edward came by Rose's house this morning." I stopped briefly when I felt her body tense and gently let my fingers caress her back, trying to soothe her. "Nothing bad happened." I quickly reassured and finally felt her start to relax again under my coaxing. "He signed the divorce papers and was dropping them off." I said, and she smiled into my chest. I gave her a little squeeze to show that I was equally happy about this. "In a few weeks, I'll officially be a free woman again." I was surprised when Alice pulled back and looked up at me.

"You're not free, Bella." She said, as if it should have been obvious to me. "You're mine. And in a few weeks, you'll still be mine." I chuckled, looking at her adoringly.

"And in a few years?" I asked. She smirked, tweaking my nipple with her hand.

"Still mine." She declared, before settling back against me. "You're mine forever." She murmured into my breasts. It was a statement, one that I whole heartedly agreed with.

"He's also moving to Chicago." I finally added, waiting to see how Alice would react. Her warm breath came out in a gust across my nipple and her smile widened. After a moment though, she frowned slightly pulling back again to look up at me questioningly. "It's okay to be happy Ali. I am." I told her, pulling her up for a quick kiss.

"Really?" She asked, with a bit of disbelief evident in her voice.

"Yes. I mean, I was surprised at first, and I'm a little worried about Esme and Carlisle. They'll probably be a upset that he'll be so far away. But overall, how can I be anything but happy?" I smiled lovingly at Alice and she returned it with one of her own. "I'm looking forward to finally being able to start living together without that drama hanging over our heads."

"Me too." Alice agreed, leaning up again to capture my lips in a slow, sensual kiss. When our lips parted, Alice caught my gaze and smiled.

A/N That's the end, at least for the main story. I'm thinking about doing some fluff-shots as like epilogues or something. I still want to show Alice at Fordham and her being such a great actress, who knows what her future holds. I do apologize for the long wait with this chapter. When I started this story I had no job and no life. Now I have a job that is my life for all intents and purposes. And real life always has to come before fantasy, sorry. Anyway, if anyone is still reading this, I hope you enjoyed it. I'll be updating my other story the Princess and the American shortly, and I've also been working with an idea that I think should be interesting, but I'm not sure when I'll publish it, if at all. You've read the stories where Bella is a cat, even sometimes living in the wild, but my idea is that she's actually wild, kind of like a Tarzan crossover. It's fun to write anyway. It's going to be another Alice/Bella though. Don't know what my obsession is with them, but whatever. Thanks for reading and listening to my ramblings if you did!
