Chapter 1: Questions
Bella's POV

I sat trembling on the vanity seat in the bathroom. I hadn't ever been this nervous, even when I first realized that Edward and his family were vampires. While I waited anxiously, I thought back to my conversation with my husband the day before. It had been even harder talking to Edward about what I wanted than it had been to talk to Jacob. After all, Edward was my husband. He'd been very calm about it, although I believed he was having a harder time with it than he let on to me.

~*~BLHW~*~

"Bella, love, are you sure this is what you want? It could—no, it will be so dangerous." Edward sounded more worried than I had heard him in...well, at least a few days.

"Ahh, my overprotective vampire. I'm sure," I said, my voice strong. "You won't hurt me. Neither of you will hurt me. I know."

Actually, Alice knew that it would be fine, that I would be fine, but I certainly wasn't going to tell Edward that I'd talked to his sister about this; that she had been the one to encourage me to go after it if it was what I really wanted. I wasn't sure he would ever be able to forgive her. This was hard enough coming from me, but to know that his sister had actually encouraged me... It might just be too much for him.

"Love, if this is what you truly want, then yes, I'll do it just for you."

I kissed him hard, pouring every ounce of love I had for him into it, and then dialed the phone.

"Hi, it's me. He said yes." The voice on the other end said nothing, but made a noise to show that I'd been heard. "Tomorrow night, my house, after dinner. The rest of the family's gone for the weekend." I hung up the phone and turned my attention back to Edward, showing him with my actions just how much I appreciated him.

~*~BLHW~*~

Edward was in Carlisle's study. I'd asked him for a few minutes alone to get ready and calm myself. He'd kissed me softly and then left to give me the time I'd requested. I'd spent a few minutes in the shower, just to freshen up a bit. I'd washed my hair that morning, so I'd kept it pinned up to keep it from getting wet. Once I'd dried off, I'd pulled on the new clothes I'd bought and then settled down to brush out my hair. Looking in the mirror, I knew Alice would be appalled that I'd chosen something so...me to wear for such an occasion. It was a heather gray cami and sleep shorts, with a light pink lace trim at the top and ruffled edge at the bottom of both. I'd also bought a hip-length wrap to wear over it until time to, well, take it off.

I was brushing my hair out when my cell phone rang. Looking at the caller ID, I laughed. "Hello, Alice. How's the hunting going?"

"It's fine. That's not why I'm calling, and you know it."

I rolled my eyes.

"Don't roll your eyes. Why aren't you wearing one of the new outfits I put in your closet? They're so much sexier! That gray outfit is just...boring."

I'd known this would happen; I'd just thought she might wait till afterward and chide me then. "Alice, this is me. I wanna be comfortable. It's cute, it's not fancy, and again, it's me."

She sighed. "I guess. It's just, you could do so much better, Bella."

I heard Jasper in the background, calling to Alice to let me be and come join him on another run to the water.

"I gotta go, Bella. Don't be nervous! I'm not peeking into anything private—not that I could see anything after your visitor arrives, of course—but I saw a vision of you and Edward tomorrow, and everything's fine. Relax, have fun, and be sure and give me all the det..." Her voice trailed off, and then I heard a click as someone—Jasper, I assumed—hung up the phone.

Chuckling uneasily, I finished fixing my hair and then went into the bedroom. Edward was sitting on the bed, watching me as I walked over to him. He was wearing a pair of faded jeans, a little worn at the pockets, low on his hips, and nothing else. I licked my lips as I looked at him, still in denial as to how this absolutely stunning man had picked me and was all mine.

"You are unbelievably the sexiest man I've ever seen in my entire life," I said as I studied him carefully, from the tips of his bare feet all the way up to his beautiful, bronze-colored hair.

He growled softly when I brushed my lips across his shoulder, trailing kisses up to his jaw and then across to his lips. They parted almost involuntarily, his tongue sweeping out to trace my lips. I opened slightly, allowing him in. Our tongues tangled together as I felt his cool arms wrap around my waist, pulling me tight against him. I could feel his cock twitch as we kissed, pressing hard against my stomach.

I backed off slightly when the need to breathe became too much and trembled as I felt him placing soft kisses down my throat. He paused, breathing in my scent, and I felt my arousal spike as he licked and then sucked lightly at the spot at the base of my throat.

"Ahh, Bella my love... The scent of your arousal will drive me insane one day, just you wait." He pulled me tighter to him, his hands firmly, but carefully, squeezing the cheeks of my ass through my clothes.

I laughed, kissed him softly, and then took a real look around the room. The windows were dark since the sun had already gone down. Edward had gotten out the candles I'd bought at the store earlier in the day when I'd gone shopping for my new outfit. While I was in the bathroom, he'd placed them randomly and lit them. They were lightly-scented and were burning softly in the corners and on shelves around the room.

"The room is beautiful," I told him quietly. "Thank you. I know you aren't extremely happy about this, but this is something I've kind of wanted to do for a while. Not necessarily with whom, but just in general. I've wanted to see what it felt like to be with two men ever since Alice told me about—"

I was cut off by a quick kiss to my lips. "I don't actually care to hear about my sister's sexual exploits, thank you."

"Thank you, Edward. I know it was a lot to ask of you, and if there was anyone else I thought would work for this, I would've asked them."

"I know this isn't about him, love. I do truly want you to experience everything you could possibly want to as a human before you're changed. If I could give you the world, I would. I'll make this as wonderful as I possibly can for you. Please don't worry about me. I'm okay. As long as you're happy, then everything is perfect."

We were interrupted by the doorbell.

"I'll wait here," he said. "It's him, and he's alone, according to his thoughts." Edward gave me a quick kiss to the lips and then pulled my hand up to his lips, kissing my wedding ring. "Get along, wife. He's waiting."

I smiled nervously, pulled the robe around myself and tied it quickly, and then hurried out of the room. I walked as quickly down the stairs as I could—without falling—to open the front door.

Smiling, I held out my hand and, as he took it, said, "Hi, Jake. Come on in. We've been waiting."

~*~*~BLHW~*~*~

Three Days Before
Jacob's POV

We were sitting there playing video games when the phone rang. Looking at the caller ID, I saw Bella's picture and tossed my controller to Quil. "Take my guy. I gotta take this." Walking outside, I answered the phone.

"Hey, Bella, what's up?" I continued walking, not wanting every word of my conversation to be heard by the guys inside.

"Hi, Jake. Listen, can we meet to talk? I need to ask you something, uh, in private."

"Sure. Are you okay? The bloodsucker husband of yours didn't do anything to hurt you, did he?" I was teasing with the bloodsucker bit, and she knew it. Edward and I had come to an understanding about Bella. I still had feelings for her, and I probably always would, but I knew I wasn't truly in love with her. I also knew her heart belonged to him and that she would never see me as more than a friend.

She laughed. "No, nothing like that. I just have something I need to talk to you about with no one else in earshot. I already talked to my dad, and I know he's working until late. Edward's hunting, so he dropped me off at Charlie's, and I'm at loose ends at the moment."

I turned and jogged back toward the house.."Sure. Is thirty minutes okay?"

"Sounds good. Thanks, Jake."

Smiling to myself, I shrugged, even though I knew she couldn't see me. "No problem." I opened the door and stepped inside, raising my voice over the noise from Quil, Embry, and Seth playing the game. "See you in half an hour, Bella."

"Oooh, Jacob's off to see a married woman! Does her husband know about this 'meeting' you're having with his wife?" Embry taunted me.

I grabbed a pillow off the couch and threw it at him, nearly hitting Quil in the process.

"Hey! Watch it."

Quil reached over and punched Embry, who responded in turn by lashing out with his foot, catching Quil in the shoulder. I rolled my eyes as the two of them began to wrestle, knocking things out of the way.

"Take it outside, guys. Dad doesn't need the house wrecked again 'cause you two can't keep from acting stupid." I laughed as I headed into my room to grab a shirt and shoes. I'd ride over on the bike in case Bella needed me to take her someplace or whatever.

Seth came into my room and sprawled out on the bed. "Bella okay?" Poor kid still had a major crush on her, even though she was now married to the vamp.

"Yeah, she sounded fine. She just needed to talk to me about something and didn't want you goons to hear everything."

Of course, she and I both knew that they'd probably all find out whatever it was anyway, since it was hard to keep a secret once we wolfed out. Still, the guys knew that anything learned that way that we haven't been told out loud was considered private and not to be talked about unless it absolutely had to be. Whatever Bella was going to talk to me about probably wouldn't be anything that had to do with the tribe, so the guys could kiss my ass.

"Okay, well, just call me if you need me. I'll be here until later, when it's my turn to patrol out by the water."

"Thanks, kid. Try to keep those two out there from killing each other while I'm gone. If anyone comes looking for me, I'll be at Charlie's."

He nodded, and I hopped out the window, jumped on the bike, and took off, hearing a crash from inside just as I left. I winced, knowing that I'd owe my dad a new coffee table. Oh well, wasn't the first one and probably won't be the last.

I made it over to Charlie's with time to spare. Pulling into the driveway, I parked the bike and headed up the steps, knocking on the door softly. After hearing her voice call out to come on in, I opened the door and stepped inside, wiping my shoes off on the mat first so I wouldn't track dirt all over Charlie's floor. He might not care, but I knew that Bella would see it and be the one to clean it up, so I wanted to save her the trouble.

"Hi, Jake," she called from the kitchen.."Come on in here. I'm making some dinner if you want some."

I walked into the kitchen, grabbed a soda from the fridge, and then sat down at the table. "That would be great. You know me...I'm always up for food."

She laughed as she continued cooking.

"Smells great, Bells. Spaghetti?"

She nodded. "With homemade meatballs. I don't get a chance to cook a lot since I moved out of Charlie's house, so it felt good to make something like this that I knew we'd both enjoy. There should be leftovers too, so Charlie should have something good to eat this week at least once."

I watched her as she cooked. She seemed nervous, dropping things occasionally, hands shaking as she stirred the sauce.

"You okay, Bells? You seem anxious."

~*~*~BLHW~*~*~

Bella's POV

I was nervous. In fact, I was downright terrified. Of course, talking to Jacob about this was nothing like it would be when I talked to Edward about it tomorrow. If I talked to Edward about it. I'd have to see what Jake's reaction was first.

I must've been quiet for too long, because Jake said, "Yoohoo, Bells! You in there?" He was looking at me with concern.

I shook myself out of it and nodded. "I'm okay. Sorry, was just thinking about something. Dinner's ready, so let's eat, and then we can talk."

We spent the next twenty minutes eating spaghetti and the garlic bread I'd pulled out of the oven, chatting about life in general. I told him about some of the things we'd done on our honeymoon and some funny stories my mother had told me the last time I'd spoken to her on the phone. He told me the latest about the tribe and about Seth's offer of help if it was needed.

"He's a sweet kid," I said, smiling. "Tell him I said hi and that I'll have him over for dinner one night soon so I'll have some company to actually eat with me."

Once we'd finished eating, I grabbed the plates, rinsing them off before putting them into the dishwasher. Jake grabbed the leftover food, put it into a container in the fridge, and then wiped off the table, ignoring my protests. He grabbed a couple more sodas, handing me one, and we walked into the living room. He sprawled out onto the couch, his long legs sticking out past the coffee table. I sat on the floor, not wanting to face him while we talked.

"Okay, spill it. I haven't ever seen you this nervous, Bells! Kind of scaring me. Is everything okay?"

Jacob sounded really worried, so I knew I needed to just get the conversation over with. There were only a few ways this could go, and I couldn't be prepared for any of them really, so...

"Everything's fine. First off, no one knows what I'm talking to you about except for Alice. I haven't even talked to Edward about it yet. I wanted to ask you before I took the idea to him." He nodded, so I continued. "You know he's been pushing me to do everything I could possibly want to do before I'm changed, right?"

Jake growled softly before catching himself. "Right. So what does that have to do with me?"

"I'm getting there. Don't rush me," I warned him.."One of the things I've been uh, thinking about for a while is..." My voice trailed off. Oh God, I didn't know if I could do it.

"Just spit it out, Bells. It's usually easier that way. Like ripping off a Band-Aid. Besides, it can't be as bad as you're making it seem, right?"

"I want a threesome with you and Edward," I mumbled, feeling the heat rise to my face. I knew I had to be redder than a tomato, and my face felt like it was on fire with embarrassment.

~*~*~BLHW~*~*~

Jacob's POV

My cock hardened immediately when I heard Bella say that she wanted to sleep with me. Sure, her husband the bloodsucker too, but still... "Did I hear you right?" I asked, wanting to be sure.

She nodded. "Alice told me a while back that she and Jasper had a threesome with another guy when they went to visit friends in Alaska, and I started thinking about it and decided I wanted to try it. I can't very well ask Jasper or Emmett, and aside from you and the tribe, no one else knows about Edward being a vampire. I would much rather it be you than anyone else I know, because I know you would treat me well and help make it special, and I think the feeling of Edward's cold mixed with your warmth...well, anyway, it—"

I cut her off mid-ramble. I wasn't sure she'd taken a breath that whole spiel. "Bells, chill. Take a deep breath. You told me, I didn't run, so you can relax."

She nodded and ran her fingers through her hair. I slid down onto the floor beside her, taking her hand softly into mine.

"Thanks," she said. "Anyway, like I said, the idea of your heat mixed with Edward's cool body would make it even better than it might otherwise be. I love you, as a friend, but there will always be a part of me that will think of what might have been. I know you still have feelings for me, even if they aren't as strong as they were. If you can't do this, I understand. That's why I wanted to talk to you before talking to Edward. If you say no, then there's no reason to ask him."

I laughed silently, thinking there was no way in the world I was going to say no to this opportunity. Hopefully, Edward wouldn't be able to say no to his wife, either. I moved her hand down slowly until it covered me and she could feel how hard I was. "Does that answer your question, Bella?" I rubbed her hand up and down my cock a few times, letting her feel just how much her question had affected me, and then let her pull it away.

"Wow, umm, okay. Thanks, Jake. I, uh...I'll talk to Edward tomorrow when he gets home and then call you. I need to head home to, uh, do some laundry, so I'll talk to you soon, okay?" She stood up, barely able to look at me, her face still a fiery red.

"No problem, Bells. I'll be around, so just call when you can." I bent down and brushed my lips across her cheek, stopping at her ear. Softly, I whispered, "If he says yes, I guarantee we'll make it good for you." She shivered and I pulled away, heading toward the front door. "I'll look forward to your call," I said before getting ready to step outside.

"Uh, okay. Say hello to the guys and Emily for me," she mumbled, not really looking at me.

I chuckled and then let myself out.

~*~BLHW~*~

I rode home, wishing I hadn't brought the bike. I needed to run to let out some of the feelings I had inside. I was hoping the guys would all be gone by the time I got home, because I desperately wanted some time alone. I decided to make sure they were and pulled off to the side of the road. Dialing my dad's house number, I almost sighed with relief when Embry answered the phone.

"Hey, it's me."

"Jake! How'd things go with Bella? Seth told us that's where you ran off to."

"Went fine. She just needed a favor. Nothing for you guys to worry about. She said hello, though. Listen, I'm not feeling great. Think you guys could go hang out somewhere else?" I checked my watch. "Who's on shift for patrol tonight?"

"All three of us, actually. Seth went home to check in with his mom, and when he gets back, the three of us are gonna head out. He should be here anytime. We'll probably be gone by the time you get home."

"Okay, that works. I think I'm just gonna take a shower and go to bed early. I have a shift in the morning to patrol part of the woods, so if I'm coming down with something, the extra sleep'll do me good."

In reality, I felt fine. More than fine, actually, but I really wanted time by myself. My dad was over at Sue's house for dinner and then was going to meet Charlie at his house, so he'd be gone for a while until Charlie brought him home. I'd have the house all to myself, just the way I was hoping.

"Feel better, man. Just holler if you need something. Sue and Emily are both home tonight, and one of us can probably come check up on you if you need it." Embry sounded concerned.

Shit, I didn't mean to make him feel like that... Oh well, he'd live.

"Thanks, Embry. Tell Quil I'll see him later and that you guys owe my dad a new coffee table."

He hung up the phone, laughing, and I chuckled. They were my friends, but they were knuckleheads sometimes, too.

I started the bike, checked the non-existent traffic, and then headed back out onto the road. A few minutes later, I slammed to a stop in front of the house and jogged inside. Everything was quiet, so I knew the guys were all gone. I noticed they'd cleaned up the mess from their visit, and that where the coffee table had been, there was a big paper on the floor with a big I.O.U. written on it. Laughing, I headed to my room.

Thinking about Bella and what she'd asked me made me hard again. I'd been kidding when I told Embry I was gonna shower and go to bed, but right then, the thought of a cold shower sounded like just what I needed. I grabbed a towel, kicked off my shoes, and pulled off my shorts and shirt before walking into the bathroom.

Turning on the water to a lukewarm temperature, I stepped in under the hard spray. Running my hands through my short hair, I let the water run through it and down my body, feeling the trickles as they moved over my cock. I groaned, thinking of how Bella's soft hand had felt on me through my clothes. Just imagining what she would feel like skin to skin had me nearly sinking to my knees.

I grabbed the shampoo and poured a little into my hand. Reaching down, I grasped my cock with one hand, while bracing myself on the wall in front of me with the other. Slowly, I started stroking myself, closing my eyes for a minute and picturing Bella's long hair splayed out on the pillow with me between her legs. I licked my lips, knowing that she would taste as good as she smelled.

With every thought, my cock grew harder. It was pulsing with need as I stroked my hand up and down at a slow, even pace. When I reached the head, my thumb brushed across the top, sending sparks up and down my spine. I squeezed gently, watching the pre-cum beading at the tip. I continued to stroke, squeezing as I made my way up and down the long length of my shaft. God, what I wouldn't give for it to be Bella's hand, her long, slender fingers wrapped around me, stroking me.

I groaned when I imagined her going down on her knees and taking the whole of me into her mouth, her tongue teasing the tip of my cock before sucking it deep into her throat. My hand sped up on my cock, and my knees got weak as I thought of sliding into her while licking and sucking on her pink nipples. When I thought of her coming around my cock, it was too much. I felt my balls tighten, and I came with a loud growl, jizz shooting out of my cock and landing high up on the wall by my hand. I continued to stroke, squeezing gently, until I'd milked myself dry.

I stood there, shaking, until my head was cleared of the fog of my orgasm, and then I reached for the soap, cleaning myself and the wall of the shower before getting out, drying off, and dressing in a new pair of shorts. I sat down on the couch to watch TV, hoping that time would pass quickly and Bella would call with good news as soon as possible.
