A Week Later
Bella paused briefly in her reading as Alice shifted against her, the raven-haired beauties thigh moving to cover Bella’s own as Alice’s head settled on her shoulder, her breath warming Bella’s skin as Alice breathed in and out slowly.
Bella allowed the hand she had resting on Alice’s hip to stroke it softly for a moment, luxuriating in the close contact. In the days immediately following Jasper’s departure, Alice had been distant with her, with them all. And, after their first talk upon Bella’s return home, Alice had rebuked any sort of physical comfort Bella tried to offer, no matter how benign.
In the early hours of the morning, when the occupants of the house were usually quiet, resting in their rooms preparing for the day to come, Alice had sat on the floor, as far away from the bed as possible brooding, while Bella lay on the bed, watching her worriedly.
On the fourth day of this type of behavior from Alice, Bella had sat on the bed with her back resting against the headboard, her knees drawn up to her chest, while her arms were wrapped tightly around her legs. Staring at Alice she had then addressed her, her voice cracking as she spoke haltingly, begging Alice not to shut her out, begging her to let her help her, whispering her love to Alice as her eyes squeezed shut, fighting off impossible tears.
Alice had stared at her silently for a long time after that, and then finally, she had uncrossed her legs and stood, moving over towards the bed, snuggling against Bella’s back a few moments later.
Since then, Alice had maintained some physical contact with her while they were in private, she held her tenderly, and stroked her hands and back, and hip gently. And every once in a while, she would murmur “I love you” without any sort of prompt. They had not made love, but Bella didn’t worry about that. She was simply glad to have Alice in her arms again, to have Alice accept what comforting gestures she could make. She knew that Alice needed time, and she would and could give Alice all the time she needed now that they were waiting it out together.
“Love is no hot-house flower,” Bella continued softly, reading from the Forsythe Saga as Alice settled against her, “but a wild plant, born of a wet night, born of an hour of sunshine; sprung from wild seed, blown along the road by a wild wind.”
Alice’s thumb began to stroke Bella’s hip, and she nuzzled Bella with her cheek softly, as her hand caressed Bella’s stomach.
Bella’s eyes fluttered shut for a moment, enjoying the sweet contact. Then she continued to read.
“A wild plant that, when it blooms by chance within the hedge of our gardens, we call a flower; and when it blooms outside we call a weed; but, flower or weed, whose scent and colour are always, wild,” Bella read, the last word coming out as a shivering sigh as Alice’s hand slipped underneath her shirt, and moved up her stomach until her small hand was cupping Bella’s breast.
“Alice?” Bella asked softly, her voice uncertain as she lowered the book and turned a pair of questioning honey eyes towards her lover.
“Hmm,” Alice murmured, nestling her face against Bella’s neck for a moment before she pulled back to meet the younger woman’s gaze. “Is this okay?” Alice asked, her eyes serious, as her hand gently massaged Bella’s breast from under her shirt.
She knew that Bella was uncertain what to make of the touch. She had refused all of her lover’ sexual advances over the past week, grasping Bella’s hand as it tried to sneak under shirt and lifting it to her lips, kissing it softly before wrapping Bella’s arm safely around her waist. She couldn’t resist being close to Bella, she needed to touch her, to feel the warmth of her, to smell her scent, but she hadn’t been able to give herself permission to touch Bella anymore intimately.
“It’s fine,” Bella breathed out, her breath hitching as Alice’s thumb rubbed her nipple, teasing it into firmness. She felt a pleasant rush in her mind, and her body began to hum, responding to Alice’s touch immediately. She had been longing for Alice so much, that the slightest touch from her set her body aflame.
Alice pressed her lips against Bella’s neck, and allowed her hand to slip behind her lover’s back, her fingers nimbly undoing Bella’s bra. Bringing her hand back around to the front, she then slipped her fingers underneath the material of Bella’s bra and palmed the warm, rounded flesh in her hand.
“Are you sure?” Bella asked as Alice’s touch became more focused, and much more arousing. She wanted Alice to touch her badly, but only if Alice was really ready for it. She didn’t want the raven-haired beauty doing anything because she thought that that was what Bella wanted. “You don’t have to,” she continued a second later, but Alice leaned up and pressed her lips against Bella’s, cutting off her flow of words.
“I want to,” Alice said softly, her lips brushing against Bella’s as she spoke.
And it was true. She wanted to touch Bella, she needed to touch her. And she realized that she should. She loved Bella, and Bella loved her. She desired Bella, and Bella desired her. They wanted to be with each other, and they should. They should be together.
“I love you,” Alice said, pulling back slightly so that she could see Bella’s eyes. “I know I’ve been … distant, this past week,” she continued. “It’s been hard … for me,” she continued, her voice cracking.
Bella nodded encouragingly, her hand reaching out to cup Alice’s cheek.
“I don’t know,” Alice sighed, tilting her head into Bella’s hand, seeking out her warmth. “I suppose I’ve been feeling guilty, for having you here with me. For wanting you, for wanting this,” she continued nuzzling Bella’s hand again. “But I do want you here with me. I do need you. I do want you … and, he left … so that I could,” she went on, her voice quivering a little. “He left so that we could be together. And so … we should. Be together,” she breathed out, her hand moving under Bella’s shirt once more before she breathed in deeply and shook her head a little.
“What?” Bella asked questioningly, knowing that something was still bothering Alice.
“It just seems so strange to think about it that way,” Alice whispered, blinking.
Bella kissed her softly.
“If you need more time,” she began to say; unsure what else she could offer Alice.
“I don’t need more time,” Alice replied, her tone becoming more firm as each word left her lips. “I need you,” Alice continued, her voice trembling with passion.
It was strange to think about it that way, but the best way she could honor Jasper’s sacrifice, was to be happy with Bella, to make his surrender worthwhile. As guilty and low and horrible as she felt about how things worked out, he wanted her to be happy. He wanted her to experience this love, and explore it to its fullest extent.
So she would, so would love Bella, and let Bella love her.
“May I?” Alice asked, her fingers grasping the edges of Bella’s shirt, asking for permission to take it off.
Bella nodded, her body trembling with anticipation and affection.
“Kiss me?” Alice asked; her voice soft and hopeful as Bella’s shirt fell from her fingers and fluttered onto the floor.
“Always,” Bella whispered, the word falling from her lips one more time before she leaned up and pressed her lips against Alice’s, finally kissing her the way she had longed to all week.

A Month Later
The breath left Alice’s lungs as her back connected with the wall, her lips curling up into a smile as Bella pressed her body against hers, her hips grinding against Alice’s before she leaned forward, pressing their mouths together in a demanding kiss.
Alice ran her hands up Bella’s sides, and then brought her hand up to cup Bella’s neck, holding her firmly as she deepened the kiss. Bella’s hips jerked against her, and Alice brought her other hand up to Bella’s neck, kissing her even more forcefully as she flipped them around so that Bella was pressed up against the wall, and Alice was pressed against Bella.
Bella moaned into Alice’s mouth, and Alice growled softly, her teeth warningly nipping at Bella’s lip as Bella’s hands moved to her waist and began to tug at her pants.
“Not tonight,” Alice husked, nipping at Bella’s lip once more before she began to kiss her again.
Bella reached for her pants again and Alice reached down, grasping her wrist, drawing it up and pinning it against the wall with her left hand, as her right hand slapped the side of Bella’s ass, the swat hard enough to be felt, but not to be uncomfortable.
Bella moaned and relaxed against the wall, giving herself over to Alice’s ministrations.
Alice purred approvingly and began to kiss Bella once more, her right hand moving to slip under Bella’s shirt.
Bella had asked her once if the way they made love would change after she was turned, and Alice had told her that it would. At that time, she hadn’t known exactly how things would be different – other than the fact that she wouldn’t have to be so careful with Bella – just that they would be different.
After Bella had been turned, she had been delightedly surprised by how dominant Bella had become. It was thrilling for her to finally be able to give into her bodies desires completely, to allow her hips to struggle against Bella’s firm hold, to allow her hands to grip at Bella’s arms as Bella’s fingers moved rapidly within her, to let her legs squeeze at Bella as the other girls tongue moved between her legs, knowing that Bella’s would be able to handle the pressure, and that the desperation of the actions actually turned her on.
They hadn’t had long to explore that new dynamic before Jasper had left however. And when they became intimate again after his departure, they had been tentative with each other, careful, not wanting to rock the boat too much.
Alice knew that Bella was wary of pushing her too fast, of putting too much pressure on her to move on, and she herself was still struggling with feelings of guilt. Even though she couldn’t stop herself from being with Bella, she couldn’t quite take her with the passion and abandon that they had engaged in before, and so they had been gentle, and slow with other, almost as if they had just become lovers.
However, this time, this night, their passion, their arousal for each other was burning bright and she didn’t want to stop it. She didn’t want to temper or control it. Despite what had happened between her and Jasper, what she had with Bella was powerful, and beautiful, and she didn’t want to try and contain it anymore.
Bella deserved better.
Bella deserved to have her, to be able to make love to her, without Alice’s guilt lying between them. She deserved to feel, and be shown how much Alice loved her.
She had been Jasper’s girl. And then she had been both of theirs. But now she’s was Bella’s girl now. And she would be Bella’s. She would love her, as she deserved to be loved.
---
Bella laughed lightly, exhilarated by Alice’s exuberance as she stumbled backwards, her legs getting caught up in her jeans which had been pushed most of the way down her legs, but were still tangled around her ankles.
Alice wrapped her arms around her, catching her as Bella began to fall back, her tongue licking at Bella’s neck before she pressed her lips gently against the warm skin and then scooped Bella into her arms, carrying her over to the bed.
Bella propped herself up on her hands, watching with a gentle smile on her face as Alice situated herself at the bottom of the mattress and impatiently yanked her jeans off her legs. Alice then stood back from the bed, her dark eyes focused intensely on Bella, staring at her for a long moment before she reached for her own clothes and quickly divested herself of them.
Bella watched as Alice’s alabaster skin was slowly revealed to her, her bottom lip ensnared between her teeth, as she watched her lover longingly.
Then Alice was gloriously naked.
Bella released her lip, a small wanting sound escaping from her as she took in the sight of her lover’s nude body.
Alice’s lips slowly curved up, the expression speculative and predatory.
Bella shifted on the bed, feeling her excitement grow. And then, just as she was about to demand that Alice get in bed that moment, Alice darted forward, flinging herself onto the bed and onto Bella.
---
Bella trembled slightly as Alice’s hands ran up and down her legs, contemplatively, the still strange new warmth of Alice’s hands and her speculative gaze making Bella shiver with excitement.
Finally, after minutes of gently caressing her legs, Alice’s hands pushed against her, encouraging Bella to spread her legs and lift them back a little. Bella automatically complied, and Alice slipped between her legs.
At first Alice simply leaned over her, her breasts pressing against Bella’s as Alice lips brushed against hers, softly at first and then with increasing passion. For long moments they kissed, Alice’s hard nipples pressing against Bella’s as Alice’s hands moved restlessly up and down Bella’s thighs and over her hips while their tongue dueled for dominance.
Finally, Alice shifted, her lips pulling away from Bella’s as she sat back. Her left hand was braced on the mattress at the side of Bella’s body, and her right hand was running up and down Bella’s stomach impatiently.
They watched each other for a while, anticipation building between them they did – Bella wondering what Alice was planning, and Alice waiting for the right moment to execute her plan. After a minute Bella couldn’t take the suspense any longer and her lips parted, Alice’s name falling softly from them as she reached out for her.
Alice’s eye lids fluttered as she reached out and caught Bella’s hand. Her hawk-like dark gaze remained focused on the brunette for a second longer, and then Alice was pushing Bella’s hand back down to the bed, pinning it against the mattress as her hips pushed forward.
Bella’s eyes rolled back in her head, and her hips canted forward, a low moan escaping from her throat as she felt Alice’s sex press against her own. Alice thrust against her again, her sex rubbing against Bella’s and Bella moaned once more, her eyes opening so that she could see Alice’s face as her lover ground against her.
Alice’s head tipped back, her eyes fluttering closed briefly, as the soft sounds Bella was making washed over her. She loved the sounds Bella made when they were making love. She was certain, that even with eternity ahead of them that she would never tire of Bella’s gasps, and moans, whimpers, pants, and breathy half-formed words. She was sure that her body would always shake, and shiver, and buck in response, doing everything that it was capable of to make sure that Bella continued to make those beautiful, wondrous sounds.
Alice leaned forward, her chest pressing against Bella’s again as she buried her face in Bella’s neck, her lips attacking the warm skin she found there as Bella’s hand slipped around her, strong fingers digging firmly into her backside as Bella tried to draw her down harder against her, silently begging Alice to take her more forcefully.
Alice complied. Teeth raking against Bella’s skin as Alice pumped her hips into Bella harder, with a force that she never would have been able to use a month before. Bella moaned, her fingers nails digging into Alice in a way that made the raven-haired beauty moan and bite the flesh beneath her lips, her sex slamming against Bella’s again and again as little droplets of blood slicked her lips.
“Fuck,” Bella moaned, her head pressing back against the pillows, her hand cupping the firm globes of Alice’s ass, moving with Alice as she pressed forward and back, forward and back, forward and back, again and again, driving Bella to the heights of passion.
Blood reddened lips smiled against Bella’s neck, and then Alice kissed her way to Bella’s lips, murmuring “yes,” against them before she began to kiss the brunette again.
They stayed like that, kissing and pressing against each other for minutes upon minutes, Bella’s hands running over Alice, as Alice moved against her, both utterly and completely lost in the sound, taste and feel of each other.
Alice pulled away from Bella’s lips, her head falling onto the pillow beside Bella’s as her arms slid upwards, grasping the edge of the mattress, holding it so tightly that she could feel her nails tearing into the fabric as she rocked against Bella more quickly.
Bella breathed in, taking in Alice’s scent, her fingers raking over her lover’s back. She could tell that Alice was close to coming, and was glad because she was teetering on the edge as well and wanted them both to crash over together.
“Alice,” Bella gasped as Alice moaned, and nuzzled her neck. “Baby …” she managed to add.
And then Bella’s eyes slammed shut and her hips bucked upwards, her hands grasping at Alice’s ass, holding her tightly against her as Bella’s hips moved in quick jerks, pressing against Alice again and again as her back arched, and colours exploded behind her eyes.
A full minute later, Bella collapsed back against the mattress, distantly aware of Alice’s hips still rocking against her as the raven-haired beauty rode out the end of her own orgasm.
“That was new,” Bella said softly, her voice raspy as she turned to face Alice, who was now resting comfortably beside her, their legs still tangled together, with a deliriously happy smile on her face.
Bella hadn’t felt that much passion, that much need and desire from Alice in long time. She hadn’t realized how much she needed to see that fire burning her lover’s eyes. How much she needed to feel her lover’s passion and need, along with having Alice’s hands on her.
Alice smiled in a way that Bella would have once described as sleepily, but now characterized as fuzzily content.
“Yeah,” Alice breathed out dreamily, pleasant endorphins dancing throughout her body. “That was pretty good,” she declared happily.
Bella smiled at that and laughed before rolling on top of Alice and kissing her. She always found Alice adorable after she’d just had an orgasm, but she was especially adorable after she’d had a really, really good one. It always took her brain awhile to start working properly and the cutest things would fall out of her mouth.
It had been far too long since Bella had seen her lover so fuzzy and content.
“Pretty good?” Bella asked arching her eyebrow at Alice when she pulled away from her.
“Okay. Really good,” Alice said grinning again, channeling her inner-Emmett.
It was so adorable that Bella had no choice but to kiss her again.
“You wanna do it again?” Bella asked hopefully, pulling back from Alice lips once more.
Alice stared up at her thoughtfully.
“Yeah,” she said slowly, watching Bella for a second longer before she grinned again.
Then Bella found herself being flipped as Alice’s hands began to roam over her sides once more.
---
Hours Later
Bella’s eyes scanned the ceiling as Alice’s fingers drew lazily indistinct shapes on her stomach.
“I miss being able to sleep,” Bella said sighing softly.
Alice was quiet for a moment, her fingers still playing idly against Bella’s skin.
“I miss watching you sleep,” she responded. “It was soothing.”
“Really?” Bella asked dropping her eyes so that she could see Alice’s face.
Alice nodded.
“It was very … Zen,” she said smiling up at Bella before tilting her head up so that she kiss Bella’s lips. “Your stomach moving up and down steadily, the soft even sound of your breathing … it used to lull me into a kind of blank, peaceful state. I can get like that mediating, but it takes a while. Lying next to you, it was really quick though. Morning always seemed to arrive in seconds … not hours. Time went by so quickly, even for me,” she finished, her fingers beginning to move.
Alice had told her in the past that time moved differently for vampires, that things seemed sped up for them, almost as if the world was in fast forward. Days felt like hours to them, hours felt like minutes. She hadn’t felt any shift in how time moved since begin turned however, and she imagined it was something that happened over time. That it had more to do with the way eternity made them perceive the things around them, rather than it being caused by the venom in the bloodstreams affecting their brain chemistry or something.
“Oh,” Bella said softly, her hand moving to cover Alice’s, holding it against her stomach. “Good,” she sighed.
Alice’s warm body beside her, and the long sentences that Alice was stringing together, were lulling her into a pleasant daze. She had missed talking with Alice like this, softly sharing things that meant nothing and everything with each other as they lounged in each others arms.
“Good?” Alice asked questioningly, sounding a little confused and amused by Bella’s response.
“Yeah, good,” Bella repeated looking down at Alice and sticking out her tongue at her. “I thought that you might have been really bored, lying around night after night, watching me sleep while you couldn’t. I couldn’t imagine how you managed to keep yourself entertained,” she explained, smiling a little as Alice’s thumb stroked her hand. “I always felt kind of guilty, but I didn’t want to tell you to go ahead and read the Odyssey in the original Greek because I liked having you beside me.”
Alice laughed softly at that. “In the original Greek,” she repeated still laughing. “I’m not that old, Bella,” she went on still chuckling.
“I know,” Bella said, drinking in the sound of Alice’s laughter. “It’s just you’ve all been around for so long, and you never sleep, and I just figured that you all probably had these really obscure hobbies that humans don’t have the life span to acquire.”
Alice laughed again, and kissed Bella’s collarbone.
“I suppose you’re right,” she said thoughtfully. “We do manage to store up quite a bit of knowledge, and we do have the time to pursue many more interests than most humans do.” She paused briefly and smiled at Bella. “I spent more time in the past perfecting my Arabesque and petit allégro than learning ancient Greek, however.”
Bella’s eyes widened and she stared down at Alice.
“You’re actually a ballerina?” she asked, her voice rising in shock.
“Well, never professionally … obviously,” Alice responded hesitantly, a little surprised by the force of Bella’s question. “I did train for a long time. A lot of it was self-taught which made it take a while longer.”
Bella stared at her for a long second, and then released a puff of air, a frown marring her features.
“What?” Alice asked softly, stroking Bella’s cheek.
“It’s just … I mean, how did I not know that?” she said looking at Alice. “I always thought that you moved like a ballerina, but how did I not know that you actually were,” she continued sounding bewildered. “In some ways I feel like I know you better than I know anyone, and at other times I feel like I barely know anything about you,” she sighed.
Alice leaned up and pressed her lips against Bella’s.
“You’ll learn,” she said softly. “We’ll learn about each other,” she continued, knowing that it had to be frustrating for Bella knowing that there was roughly eighty-eight years of her life to get caught up on. “One thing we have is time,” Alice finished, smiling gently.
Bella nodded, and then smiled, leaning forward to kiss Alice softly as well.
“Speaking of learning,” Alice began in a not to subtle segue. “How …”
Bella sighed deeply, cutting off the rest of Alice’s question.
“Slowly,” Bella said, sounding utterly perplexed. “I … honestly, I really didn’t think it would be this hard. I mean, I used to be around people all of the time. I didn’t really think that I would be all that tempted to … you know, eat them. But I am,” Bella sighed shaking her head. “The urge is so strong. I’ve only felt anything like it once before.”
“You have?” Alice asked. It was her turn to sound surprised.
Bella looked over at her. “Yes,” she said softly. “With you,” she explained, smiling a little as Alice’s eyes lightened with happiness. “Fighting the blood lust is the only thing harder than trying to keep my hands off of you.”
Alice stared at Bella, blinking for a few seconds and then wrapped her arms around Bella, holding her tightly against her.
“I really,” Bella began softly as Alice nuzzled her neck. “Before I was turned, I tried, but I wasn’t capable of understanding. It’s only now,” she breathed out softly, “now that I know what the blood lust is like, that I can fully comprehend how difficult what you did was,” she continued, her voice awed as she stroked Alice’s back lightly.
“For you,” Alice said softly, her voice barely a whisper, “I would have done so much more,” she continued, capturing Bella’s lips with her own a second later. “It’s ridiculous how much I love you.”
“Ridiculous?” Bella asked smiling, even as her now still heart seemed to flush with warmth.
Alice nodded. “Stupid, completely stupid,” she added smiling.
“Insane?” Bella asked grinning.
“Ridiculously, insanely stupid,” Alice agreed, laughing lightly before Bella’s lips took possession of hers, silencing her.
“What does Carlisle think?” Alice asked settling beside Bella once more, minutes later.
“He thinks that I should be fit for limited human contact in another couple weeks,” Bella said sighing heavily. “He says I’m actually doing well, but … I don’t know. I miss Charlie,” Bella blurted looking away. “When I was at school and I knew I could see him any time, a month didn’t seem like anything. But now, knowing that I can’t see him, it makes me really miss him.”
“You’ll be able to see him soon,” Alice said, hugging Bella comfortingly. “Do you want to call him?” she asked. She actually missed Charlie quite a bit herself.
“He thinks I’m in Japan,” Bella said shaking her head. “Getting a call from Seattle might make him a little suspicious.”
While the University thought that she was on bed rest, Charlie thought that she had taken a semester off to go to Japan with Alice so that she could study the influence of Chinese literature on Classical Japanese literary works.
Alice frowned slightly, and then brightened. “There’s probably a way to make Seattle seem like Japan with computers or something,” she said. Then she frowned again. “I’m not really good with computers though. That’s going to be my new project,” she added to herself under her breath. “We could probably pay someone to figure out a way to do it.”
Despite her bout of melancholy, Bella smiled down at Alice and kissed her forehead, as delighted to see Alice being bubbly and distracted as she was by the sweetness of her lovers offer.
“I’ll wait,” she said softly. “A few weeks isn’t that long,” she continued, knowing it was true no matter how long it felt. “Thank you for the offer, though,” she said tenderly, her voice full of love.
Alice had already put herself through quite a bit to accommodate her transition. Bella had to be sequestered away for the good of the town, but Alice was in control of her appetite and should have had free reign of the place. However, Alice had chosen to remain locked away by her side, keeping her company and Bella appreciated it immensely, even if Alice hadn’t been at her most talkative. Just being around Alice, reading with her or lying wrapped up in her arms watching television had been enough.
“Well, you know. I kind of like you,” Alice murmured playfully, her smile making Bella smile.
“I kind of like you too,” Bella responded softly.
“I kind of like you more,” Alice shot back, grinning.
“I kind of like you more times infinity plus one,” Bella replied smugly.
Alice sighed. “One hundred and seven years old, and I still don’t have a comeback for that one,” she said shaking her head.
“Aw,” Bella cooed, falling gratefully and effortlessly back into the type of banter that had been so common between them before Jasper’s departure. “I still love you, even if you’re dumb.”
“Shut up,” Alice murmured, rolling over so that she was on top of Bella.
“Make me,” Bella sassed back, smiling challengingly up at Alice.
“If you insist,” Alice responded leaning down to capture Bella’s lips, thinking that it was fortuitous that they were already naked.

The Next Morning
Rose glanced over top the magazine she was reading, her eyes widening delightedly.
She nudged Emmett with her foot.
“Wha …” he began to say irritably. However, his eyes then caught sight of what had drawn Rose’s attention and he looked over at her and grinned.
Rose winked at him and stood up. Emmett grinned wider, knowing that whatever his wife had planned would be good.
Rose moved towards the door of the living room, intercepting Bella and Alice halfway to the couches.
Alice looked at her and rolled her eyes.
Rose ignored the shorter girl, and turned her gaze on Bella. She stared at Bella for a second, cocking her head to the left and the right, and then she reached out and touched Bella’s right arm, and then her left arm, and then her stomach, and then her thigh. However, when Rose reached up to touch Bella’s cheek Bella caught her hand and leveled a suspicious glare at her.
“What are you doing?” Bella asked, suspecting that she wouldn’t like Rose’s response, no matter what it was.
“Oh, just checking to make sure you’re still in one piece,” Rose replied smiling widely. “We were all very worried about you last night,” she continued still grinning.
“Actually, I was more worried about the structural integrity of the left wing of the house,” Emmett piped up, looking at Alice and sticking two very enthusiastic thumbs up in her direction.
Esme guffawed at that, and Bella turned to look at her in surprise, very happy not to be human at that moment because she knew that she would have been beet red.
Esme lifted her hand in apology and muttered ‘sorry’, then hid her face behind her hand. However, before she had her mouth safely hidden away Bella noted a smile on her lips and sighed.
“What the hell were you doing to her, anyway?” Rose asked turning to look at Alice.
“Wouldn’t you like to know,” Alice drawled completely unconcerned. She had long since gotten used to being teased, and to teasing the others herself.
“Yes, I would. That’s why I asked,” Rose responded, a smile playing on her lips.
“If you tell her, you’re never going to get to do it again,” Bella murmured taking a seat beside Carlisle, who seemed to be just barely controlling the urge to smile as well.
Alice shrugged at Rose and moved over by Esme to grab a section of the morning paper.
“Dude, you are so p-whipped,” Emmett declared, smirking at Alice as she settled down beside Esme.
“Takes one to know one, Emmett,” Alice replied, smirking at him as well.
“I walked into that one,” Emmett muttered, acknowledging his own complicity in Alice’s mocking of him before he turned his attention back to the DS in his hands.
Grabbing the Arts section of the paper, Bella leaned back watching as Emmett went back to his game and Rose stood up, moving over towards Esme and Alice before forcing herself between them, much to Alice’s amusement.
“We have to go shopping,” Rose declared wiggling a little before settling comfortable between Esme and Alice. “Look,” she continued shoving the magazine she was holding into Alice’s lap. “These legs were made to be ogled,” Rose said pointing at a cute Miu Miu mini-dress.
“Yeah,” Alice said nodding thoughtfully, her eyes scanning the page for a few seconds before she glanced back over at Rose. “I’ve been feeling like I need more belts,” she said meditatively.
“Wider ones,” Rose responded nodding her head, clearly impressed with Alice’s foresight.
“And some more tunics,” Alice decided causing Rose to smile widely.
Rose’s delight at being able to talk to Alice again was palpable, and Bella found herself watching the two of them converse for a while, a gentle smile played across her lips as she did. She knew that the others had missed Alice’s energy around the house as well, and looking around the room at their happy eyes, she knew that they were just as happy as she was to have Alice back.
To be continued …

Bella and alice's interactions are hot and cute at the same time X3
But Emmett has the best line here: "Actually, I was more worried about the structural integrity of the left wing of the house," ROFL XD
Great update :)

Either way, I'm so glad that our Alice is back to the way she should be, making hot passionate vamp!love to Bella and trying not to ruin the house in the process. Beautifully written, as always, and "ohmigodIneednewpanties" HOT!
Keep it up, bb~<3

Loved the sensual stuff you put in here. I can't wait for more heated stuff to happen like toys or something anyway. Can't wait for more and love this story off to tell my friends about it.
Seriously..
And I've just read through the entire thing and you are beyond spectacular.
(Not to mention your earlier reference in a comment.."The Cordelia Chase School of Tact" made me laugh for a good twelve minutes much at the displeasure of my dog.)
Thank you SO much for writing this..
I'm bookmarking you for the next update.
