Episode One-hundred-fifty: Making Bank


I was dreaming about flying. Not in an airplane, but through the air with my arms spread. The wind blew through my hair, and I could feel it on my cheeks. It was a perfect day- the temperature just right. I was zooming through the countryside, dipping through meadows and valleys filled with sweet-smelling flowers. It was paradise and freedom in its purest form.

Then a phone rang. I pouted as the fun images melted away, taking a deep breath through my nose. It was dark in our room, and the boys were curled around each other. Jasper had his head on Edward’s chest, their legs tangled. His ass was pressed against my hip with his other arm thrown behind, so it was on my stomach.

It rang again, neither of the men moving. Edward was snoring, his skull tilted back into the pillow. It wasn’t my phone, and I wouldn’t answer it.

I smacked Jasper’s butt a couple of times through the blanket, making him hum and shift. He stiffened up when he heard the ring. “Tony. Get your fucking mobile,” he mumbled as he sat up slowly and rubbed his eyes furiously.

Our boyfriend groaned loudly. His hand slapped at the side table several times before rolling over to get it. He brought it backwards to his ear while never opening his eyes. “Yeah?”

Jasper switched it around for him before spinning over to cuddle with me. His head went automatically to my breast, using it as a pillow. We couldn’t hear the other side of the conversation. Closing my eyes again, I snuggled with him and played with his pretty blond curls with a grin. I was so comfortable.

“Yes, this is Eddie Cullen.” He hummed softly, then his body stiffened. “Oh, hello, Mr. Wells.” He sat up beside us quickly. “No. It’s fine. I’m excited to get a call from you, sir. What can I do for you today?” He asked politely. His tone went from sleepy Aussie to an eager businessman in two seconds flat.

Both Jasper and I turned our heads to watch, paying more attention.

Edward’s mouth hung open after a minute. “Oh. I see. Wow… And when do you want me to do that?” He laughed in surprise at the answer. “Next- Next week? Sir, that’s very short notice, and I-” He paused. “How much? For a week and a half worth of work? Are you serious?” He covered his chin with his palm, and it slid down his throat. “Um, well, I would love to say yes right away, but I have to discuss this with my team first. Would it be possible to call you back?” He nodded his head. “Yes, sir. I will have a response to you by the end of the day. That won’t be a problem. Thank you so very much for considering me for the part at all, though. It’s an honor. Thank you,” he repeated before hanging up. He put his cell phone beside him slowly as he stared ahead.

“What?” I questioned, touching his thigh lightly.

“Okay… so, uh… I know you don’t pay attention to celebrity stuff, but a certain actor did some terrible shit last week. It was bad. He was arrested for attempting to sexually assault a waitress. He had just filmed a small but important part, and the studio wants him completely replaced. They’re going to reshoot his scenes with a new actor. And they want me to do it. For a lot of money.”

“That sucks about the server. I hope she’s okay,” I grumbled. “That’s cool about the role, though. Are you interested?”

“Yes,” he said solemnly. He didn’t seem happy.

“What’s wrong?” Jasper questioned, rolling over to touch his leg too.

“They want me to start filming next Friday.”

“Oh,” I responded in understanding. “Okay, so two choices: we can go to New York another time, or we can go on our own while you’re working. Will you be able to rearrange whatever you have going on after that? I guess that matters, too.”

He nodded. “Yeah, it’s shooting for the channel and a recording day, but I’m sure I can put that off if I ask. They’re understanding. I want to go to New York, though.”

“There will be other times,” I promised with a slight smile.

“I know, but I wanted another pleasant weekend, and you’re going away in a few hours.”

“For a couple of days,” I laughed gently. “We’ve been together all the time since we went to Australia. We can go another time.”

Edward sighed. “No. I know you want to go get your stuff.” He huffed. “I really aspire to work with a director like this. Sarah has a project coming up with him she’s excited about. He is an artist. And it’s so much money. But I can afford to say no.”

“How much of a paycheck is it?” Jasper questioned, sitting up beside him. He took his hand, their fingers weaving together.

“Half a million.”

“Holy shit!” I gasped. “For a week and a half? Oh, my god! And it’s a director you wanna work with? That sounds amazing, Edward.”
​
“Do it, darling. This will be good for your career.”

“It’s not really about the check. It’s more about how I want to work with him, but the cash feels tainted.”

“What do you mean?” I pressed gently.

“I’d make bank because someone is a rapist. That doesn’t feel right.”

“Oh,” I breathed. I quickly shrugged. “Then, don’t keep it. You love donating. Give it a women’s shelter and make their day. So, you get to do something amazing for charity while getting to work on your craft.”

He rubbed his fingers over my jaw with a smile. “See? This is why I want to marry you. You don’t mind?” He looked between us.

“Not in the least,” I promised, pushing his palm into my skin. Lightly, I kissed his fingertips. “Do you want us to skip it, or are you okay with us going?”

Edward pursed his lips before he grinned a little. “You can go. I’ll be jealous because I know you’ll have fun, but we’ll do it another time. We’ll plan a real vacation after my next film wraps. You need your special quiet weekends away, too.”

“We don’t-” Jasper began, but he kissed him to stop him arguing. “It would be better with you.”

“Hey, maybe when you come back, you can come to the set to watch me.”

“What’s the movie?” He shrugged. “He didn’t say?” I asked in surprise.

Shaking his head, Edward laughed. “No. I was too excited and forgot to ask. It doesn’t matter, though. I’m up to whatever he throws at me. If I want to stretch myself as an actor, he’s the guy I need to work with.”

I shifted, so I was on my knees beside him. “Call him back. Tell him you’d love to.”

“I should call Zafrina first. But yeah. I think I will. Thank you,” he breathed before quickly giving each of us a kiss. “I’m going to go into the office to make it.” He looked at his phone. “You still have a few hours before your flight, so after, we can get cleaned up and we’ll go to breakfast before you fly out.”

We watched as he strode purposefully out of the room in his tight black briefs. I moved back beside Jasper, sitting on my bottom next to him. Wordlessly, he reached over and picked up his cell and grabbed a joint from the drawer. 

I leaned against his shoulder, thinking about what just happened as we woke up. He took a couple of hits before passing it to me. This went on for a few minutes before he chuckled softly. “Hm?” I peeked over at his phone, but I couldn’t read anything on it from the angle I was.

“Oh, just thinking about what video I’ll have you do.” He showed me the page of my personal YouTube Channel. All the cooking videos had already been posted and were moved over as well as the makeup one. I noticed the subscriber amount. It was just over six million in under twenty-four hours.

“HOLY SHIT!” I screamed in surprise. “THAT CANNOT BE RIGHT!”

Jasper laughed loudly at my reaction, shaking his head. “I have no words. I knew it would be quick. The boys are sitting very pretty at two million apiece. They had a fan base before, but they’ve added a million each. But you started fresh. I fucking told you!”

“Everything okay?” Edward yelled down the hallway.

“When you have a sec, look at the channels,” he cheerfully called back. He took another hit and offered it to me. Absently, I accepted it as I looked out onto the mountains.

“YES!!” He shouted. “THAT’S MY FUCKING GIRL!” Our boyfriend came rushing down the hall, bounding onto the bed. In an instant, I was in his arms. “This is incredible!” He gushed, squeezing me tightly.

I laughed. “I didn’t do anything. This is all you.”

He pulled me back by the shoulders. His expression was so serious. “People don’t give a shit about what goes on behind the scenes and who does what. They care about the main face. Yours. It took me YEARS to get that many followers. I am so proud of you.”

Leaning my forehead against his, I took a big breath. “Thank you.”

“The cooking video you posted yesterday with Sarah is trending,” Jasper added. “It’s already gotten ten million views.”

“Wow,” I whispered. I leaned over to look at his screen. I rubbed my hand over my cheek.

“Here we go again!” He sang, passing our boyfriend the smoke. “This time in the fast lane. So, what video should I have you make? Makeup or dancing?” He tapped his chin in thought, smirking as he did. “I’ll have to think about it over the weekend. Muahaha.”

I rolled my eyes. “You ham.” He put his hand on the back of my neck and pulled me towards him for a kiss. I giggled against his mouth. “What a wonderful way to start the day!”

Edward passed back the joint, grinning wildly as he did. “Right? I got one more call to make. I’ll be right back.”

Putting the smoke and his phone down, Jasper kissed me again once he left the room. He was smirking as he wrapped both of his thick arms around my waist. “I’m so proud of you both,” he whispered into my hair.

After a fun shower and a quick breakfast, Edward dropped us off at the airport. We had more camera equipment than clothing. Unlike times before, when we were all weepy and sad, everyone was in a pleasant mood. It was going to be an enjoyable weekend. He would have some quiet time in the evenings to relax after recording, and I would get to see my wonderful siblings while spending my first real alone time with Jasper.

I was really excited about that. It wasn’t something I would have voiced out loud for fear of making someone jealous. I don’t think they would have been, but it was still a worry of mine.

We sat in first class with champagne, just relaxing. It wasn’t a long flight, but I wanted it to be nice. I wrapped my arm around his with my head on his shoulder as we waited to take off. It felt like the beginning of an adventure.

Across from us were two younger women. I noticed they kept leaning over to look at us. Neither said anything, but it was so apparent.

Finally, when the seatbelt sign went off, one of them came over to us. “Pardon me. Are you Bella?”

“Yes, I am,” I smiled as friendly as possible. I was still nervous about people approaching me that I didn’t know. I would have to get used to that, I realized.

“I subscribed to your channel yesterday, and I love your recipes. Thank you for doing so many vegan-themed videos. My wife and I are trying to be, and we’ve loved all of yours.”

Quickly, I sat up straighter in surprise. “Oh, wow! Thank you! I’m glad they’ve worked out so well for you. We have a lot more coming up. We filmed some this week.”

“Awesome!” She grinned. “Can I get a picture with you?”

“Sure!” I said right away, standing up as she took out her phone. Jasper stood, offering to take it for her. “Does your wife want to join us?” I suggested politely. There was no reason not to.

She waved both of her arms at her, encouraging her to stand up. We snapped several photos. They both thanked us profusely. We had to sit down when the stewards came by with the drink cart. “Can you get these two ladies a refreshment on me?” I inquired when it was our turn, pointing to the women beside us. “To thank you for subscribing.”

We got settled with fresh glasses. I relaxed back into my spot, my head on his shoulder with my arm around his again. He leaned his temple against mine. “I’m surrounded by stars,” my man breathed with a charming grin.

Episode One-hundred-forty-nine: Hogly-Wogly


“I am so ready for this,” Edward said as he clapped his hands together excitedly. It was the channel launch day, and he had just ordered all the food for the mukbang. He was getting it from two different places. One was a barbecue place known for its meats and one that was vegan.

Lauren was going to be so happy with him. I promised her no matter what, there would be plenty for her to eat, even if she wasn’t going to in front of the camera.

We were setting up to film in the dining room with the pool and mountains as the backdrop. It was the perfect day for it. Jasper was almost done with the equipment, and I was wiping off the table.

“So, I’ll do the intro since this was my idea, and it’s the first time we’re doing something like this,” Edward thought out loud to himself as he rubbed his palms together. “I’m actually anxious. I don’t know why.”

Seth popped into the house with only a quick knock. “Hello, everyone!” He cheerfully called. “Who is ready to fucking EAT?!” He paused. “Wait. Can we smoke before this?”

His boss grimaced slightly. “Just a little. Don’t get shitfaced.” He whipped out a vape pen and took a big hit, smiling at him. “Get hungry, not stupid.” He pointed at him.

“No worries! I’m just nervous, you know? This is a huge day for everyone.”

“Don’t worry! It’ll go fantastic!” Jasper promised encouragingly. He wasn’t too worried because he would spend most of his time behind the camera. We would switch out so everyone would get turns to speak.

There was another knock at the door. It was the first part of the food. These were the vegan treats. Jackfruit pulled ‘pork,’ coleslaw, potato salad, vegan mac and cheese, vegan sausage, grilled corn, and mashed sweet potatoes. He even ordered a vegan pecan pie- a whole one. There was so much food.

I started switching it to prettier platters and covering it with foil so it wouldn’t get cold. Jasper helped me without being asked. I kept trying bites of everything because I was so curious, and I would sneak him a little too. Everything was amazing.

“I like the fake pork stuff. That’s yummy,” he whispered in my ear. “It tastes so much better off your fingers.”

Flushing, I looked away with a smile. I leaned in so I could softly reply. “Don’t start that.”

“Start what?”

“Something you can’t finish…” I trailed off as I sucked the sauce off my fingertips while holding his gaze.

His nose wiggled, and he pursed his lips. “I can, but I shouldn’t. And I’m sorry, I’ll behave.” I laughed in disbelief. He pretended to be offended, putting his hand on his heart. “Rude.” I blew a playful raspberry at him. Jasper quickly grabbed me up by the waist with one arm. “I will throw you in the pool right now.”

I squealed and giggled the entire time.

“Hey, hey, hey,” Edward immediately broke up our obvious flirting. “Put her down. And not in the water,” he said in his big video voice. Our boyfriend rolled his eyes as he placed me to the floor. “Thank you.”

“I wasn’t going to do it. I’m not stupid. I was just going to dangle her over the edge a little.”

“You sound like a psychopath,” he remarked.

“We talked about human skin curtains and cannibalism yesterday. No, I think he’s fine,” Seth sarcastically stated as there was a knock on the door. He went to go get it.

Edward instantly seemed horrified. “Are you fucking serious?” He peered at Jasper and me. We nodded at the same time. “Oh, god. I’m so happy I don’t have to do that.”

“The killer was from down under, too,” he added as the rest of our friends came in. “What did you say?” He pointed at our boyfriend. Seth snapped his fingers as he tried to remember. “She looked like every mum from the nineties.” Jasper nodded. “She cooked his ass! Literally! Baked that rump in the oven.”

“I’m so glad I’m a vegan right now,” Lauren said as she waddled in behind her husband. Gagging, she stuck her tongue out.

“Don’t talk about that kind of stuff before we eat,” I chided.

“We talked about it all yesterday, and we snacked the entire time.”

“Because we’re dark souls with broken brains that enjoy it just a touch too much.”

Tyler snorted, muttering under his breath. “Mm, only a touch. Sure.”

We flipped him off at the same time. His wife glanced over her shoulder as she came towards the kitchen to me. “Maybe you shouldn’t annoy the people who have more knowledge than you do on how to hide a body.”

“Hey, Bella… How would you hide his?” Seth asked in a thundering voice. “We could do a murder edition of twenty questions.”

“I couldn’t. I’m barely five feet tall. Are you fucking kidding me?”

“Good. That’s exactly what we’ll tell the cops when the time comes.” He winked at me stupidly. I laughed loudly, leaning into my sweet blond boyfriend. “Next question. Who’ll drive you nuts first? The boss or Jasper?”

“Myself,” I stated sarcastically. “Baby, there is no drive. It’s like two blocks away. You can stroll there.”

Giggling, Lauren swatted my arm. She started peeking into all the bowls. “What is this?” She lifted another. “Oh, that looks so yummy.”

“This is yours. Well, not only yours. I got enough for everyone to try, but I got this for you,” Edward explained. “It’s all vegan. It just arrived.”

She hugged him as tightly as she could with her round belly in the way. It was obviously a struggle. He patted her back, and she grinned up at him. “Thank you so much for being thoughtful.”

Tyler sighed as he stood beside me. “Your man is seducing my wife with food. Tell him to stop.”

“Shut up,” she snapped before hugging Edward’s waist. He embraced her from the side with a smirk. “He doesn’t need the food for that.”

“Though you’d make a lovely couple, and he would be the best stepfather to your children…” I trailed off playfully. “No.” She cackled and came over to me. I wrapped my arms around her shoulder and kissed her hair as she leaned into me. “He should be more worried about me seducing you with food,” I whispered into her ear loudly. Her husband groaned.

We began to take stuff to the table. “Honestly, it wouldn’t take much to get me into bed right now. I have never been this kind of horny in my life!” She blurted out. “All I want to do is get off, nap, and shove Oreos in my face.”

“Same,” three people said at the same time.

“I’m going to stop bringing you to these things,” Tyler threatened her.

“No, you won’t,” she mocked as she rolled her eyes. He pouted a little.

The doorbell rang again with the rest of our meal. It took four people to bring it all inside. I had no idea what he did. I knew it was going to be a lot, but I didn’t realize it would be ungodly. When spread out, it barely fit on the tabletop.

Jasper stood behind the camera, and Lauren was sitting at the island with an array of food. She was already eating off of three plates. There was a computer beside him to read the comments as they came up. They had been advertising it for a couple of weeks. 

He raised his fingers. “Three, two, one.” He then pointed at Eddie.

“What’s up, and welcome to our live-streaming mukbang event. We’re going to be enjoying this hearty feast and answering questions to celebrate the launch of the brand-new Cullen Network. The boys will be forming new channels under our umbrella with new monikers and lots more content each. It will be under their real names, and links will be down below. And not to fret about their old stuff because all of their content is being moved over. Last but not least, the super talented Ms. Isabella Swan is starting her very first channel!”

I leaned into him with a smile. “We’re incredibly excited to be here, and not just because of the channels or the delicious meal that you see in front of us.”

“No! Because we’re getting fat for a cause. It’s the very best reason to eat. Today we will be snacking on mountains of some of the best barbecue in all of Los Angeles while collecting donations for the LA food bank. If you have the ability, please give. Even if it’s only ten dollars. One hundred percent of your contributions will go directly to putting meals on tables. So… Here’s the deal, I will match whatever amount you donate. If you give two-hundred thousand, I will contribute that, too. If we only get ten or twenty, I will give them at least twenty-five thousand, but I want to give them more than that. Make me put my money where my mouth is!”

“It’s a big one, too!” Tyler said with an enormous cheesy grin, his eyes innocent and wide. He flashed a smile at his boss.

He shook his head. “So send in your questions and your donations down at the links below, and let’s get started!”

I picked up a fork and instantly stabbed some brisket. “This smells incredible.”

“The first question,” Jasper called, reading the screen. “Where is the food from?”

Edward already had sauce on his face somehow, and I was not going to wipe it off either. It made it funnier. “So, part of it is from Soulful Barbecue, which is a lovely vegan restaurant. And the other is from Dr. Hogly Wogly’s Tyler Texas BBQ.”

I snorted. “Seriously?”

“Yeah. It’s one of the most popular places in town.”

“That name,” I laughed. “I’ve been to Tyler many times too! It’s where Alice and Rose’s grandma lives.”

“Have you had the barbecue there?” My boyfriend beside me asked. He licked the sauce from the corner of his lip.

“I have, and it was very good.”

“Can you name all the dishes?” Was the next question.

We talked about the food for a while with some questions about the update schedules and things like that thrown in. Of course, Eddie’s work was discussed. Who wouldn’t be interested in those things? He was happy to talk and eat at the same time. He was pacing himself.

Then it started getting more personal around an hour in.

Jasper was sitting beside me, switching places with Seth because he needed to slow down and take a heartburn pill. “How do you feel about your ‘coming out’ video going viral?”

“I don’t pay attention to any of it,” I admitted. “I don’t watch any I’m in, and I didn’t even know it came out until a little while ago. I don’t plan any of that stuff. My family already knows about me being queer, so I haven’t gotten any shocked phone calls or anything. And I never go on social media or watch television. So… it doesn’t affect me at all.”  I shrugged.

My boyfriend picked at his food. He had a big beef rib on his plate, and he was pulling it apart with his fingers. He waffled his head around. “It has, admittedly, gotten more attention than I thought. It’s a little weird, but I’m happy everyone is being so supportive.”

“Bella, why don’t you watch your videos?” He read next from the screen.

“For the same reason that a lot of performers don’t. The cringe is real. I’ll leave it up to the boys and trust that they’re doing a good job. I mean, obviously, they are. Look at where we are right now.”

Seth smiled at what he was reading. “Are you guys having fun with my idea without me?”

I laughed because I immediately knew who sent that one. “No! We miss you! We wish you were here with us!” I rested my hand on my heart. 

“Hey! If it’s you... call real quick,” Eddie said as he got his phone out. Almost instantly, it rang. “I’m going to put you on speaker so everyone can hear you,” he warned. “Ms. Emma Sarah Jones, everyone!”

“Yay! Hey!” She cheered as soon as she answered. “You look like you’re having so much fun! Is it good?”

“It’s delicious,” Jasper promised. “Are you having fun in New York filming?”

“I am, but I wish I were with you right now. So, how’re the donations going?”

“Uh,” Seth drew out as he looked at the page for that. “Oh, shit. We’re up to fifty thousand!”

“Yes!” Edward whooped with both hands in the air. “That is so incredible. Thank you so much to everyone so far!”

His mouth fell open. “It just went up ten thousand!”

“That was from me. I want you to spend more,” Sarah teased. I laughed, resting my head on his shoulder.

Eddie grinned genuinely. “I am more than happy to.”

“I’m still planning on matching it, too.”

He looked at the camera with a smile. “Emma is actually the one who came up with this wonderful idea while she was filming loads of videos with us. So, thank you for your donations and the suggestion. I’m really glad we did this. I’m having a splendid time.”

“Because he gets to eat while talking about himself. Two of his favorite things,” Jasper said sarcastically. He earned a quick swat, making him chuckle.

“The chat wants to know what kind of videos you made together?”

“We got food, we got rankings, and we got some dumbass makeup ones. You’re going to love them all,” Eddie promised. “What are you doing right now, sweetie?” He directed towards our friend.

“I’m on lunch, but I need to head back. I am so glad I got to talk to you. Good luck and call me later!”

“I’ll text you,” I called out to her. “I have something to tell you about that blind date.”

“Good or bad?”

“Excellent,” I promised quickly. “Break a leg!”

Edward put his phone away. “Are we ready for dessert now?”

“So, I don’t have to feed either of you for a few days, right?” I placed my hand on my swollen stomach. He had gotten a sweet potato pie and a cheesecake to go with the vegan pecan. I didn’t know where they had the room. This was bigger than Thanksgiving.

He handed me a clean fork. “You don’t have to, anyway. We just like it when you do because you’re an amazing chef who spoils us daily.”

I automatically gave him a kiss on the cheek. He turned and quickly captured my lips for a brief moment. We smiled at each other.

“The chat wants to know when you’re getting married,” Seth inquired with a mean smirk on his face. He was looking at my boyfriend.

“Boy, they sure are nosy,” I said in a cheerful voice.

Edward laughed and hung his head. “The answer to that is when my beloved wishes, and not a second before or after. Jesus, stop trying to get me in trouble.”

“Now, they want to know about kids.”

“They are meddlesome, damn,” Jasper muttered sardonically beside me, picking a pecan from his piece. I peeked at him and widened my eyes for a moment.

“The only baby I’m having right now is a food one,” I declared bluntly, making both of them laugh. “Lauren is who you’re looking for.”

“Hey, stop choosing the questions that cause trouble,” Edward said to his friend with a smirk. He glanced over at me and shook his head. His cheeks were a little pink. This was why he didn’t do real interviews often. 

“Fine,” he smirked. “When’s your next video game coming out?”

The time flew by. When we got to the end of the stream, they brought up the donations page again to read the final number before they ended it.

“Alright. Drum roll, please,” Eddie said in his big voice. Our boyfriend and Tyler both drummed on the table at the same time. It made all the dishes and silverware rattle loudly. 

“One hundred twenty thousand, four hundred and five dollars!” Seth cheered.

Edward’s hand went up to his mouth in surprise. Laughing, he grinned behind his fist. He glanced at us. “Yo! That is so incredible!” He looked back at the camera. “Thank you so much for every single person who donated. Your generosity is overwhelming and unexpected. I am so proud of my people out there watching right now. You are all bloody legends,” his accent was getting thicker as he became more emotional. “Alright, that’s about it from us. If you’d like to donate directly to the LA food bank, I’m going to link that down below. Don’t forget to subscribe to all the new channels so you can keep up to date with everything that’s going on. You can also follow all of us on social media. Thank you once again. And if you enjoyed this and want to see more content like this, please like this video! Buh-bye.”

Episode One-hundred-forty-eight: Dun-Dun-Duh


The next morning, we both got up with our boyfriend before he went to record for the day. We had things to do too. I enjoyed watching them work out in the gym- one doing weights while the other ran until they were dripping with sweat.

Seth showed up right on time. We were finally about to film our murder shows. We were both excited. It was going to be so much fun. Jasper would film and edit it all.

“I love that you always have coffee waiting for me when I arrive,” our friend mumbled as he went to make himself a cup. “I don’t even stop at Starbucks on the way anymore. This is so much better.”

“She needs to produce a video on it. How to make it and whip it into fancy drinks.”

“I think it’s already on the list,” I offered, looking at my research. Though I had thought I did enough, I decided to do extra people because I wasn’t sure the ones I picked were good enough. It was making me go back and forth in my mind. I had a binder full of information.

He nodded. “It is. But I think it would be popular, and we should move it up.”

“Well, Mr. Hale, I trust you. Tell me what to do and when to do it,” I said before taking a sip of my drink. He raised his eyebrows at my wording. “You’re the one with the experience. I want you to teach me.”

“Would you like me to go through the list to put notes next to the ones I think would be best?” He offered. I could see it in his eyes that he was trying so hard not to be a pervert. It was an arduous task.

“Yes, please.” I winked at him so Seth couldn’t see.

Our friend clapped his hands together. “Alright. I’ll get started setting up.”

“I’ve got it ready!” Jasper promised. “You wanted the green screen background, yeah?”

“Yeah! Thanks. Awesome. Well… I guess, let’s begin, huh?”

He and I sat beside each other at the desk with our printouts of information and questions. He pulled out a pouch with highlighters and pens for him to make notes with.

“So, who’s going first?” I questioned.

“You can.”

Jasper bent behind the camera, adjusting it. “You should do the intro then.”

“Sounds good,” he agreed. He sat up straighter, waiting to be counted off. “Hello, everyone. My name is Seth, and this is Bella, and today we’re talking about something most foul. Murder.”

“Dun-dun-duh… Cue cheesy horror lightning sound effects,” I said dryly.

He laughed softly. “You know that has to go in now.” I giggled wickedly as well before shrugging. “So, we’ve gone to a few haunted places before, but this is different for us.”

“True crime is something both of us are really interested in, and we thought this would be… not fun, but interesting.”

Seth scrunched up his face. “It’s a little entertaining to chat about.” He pinched his fingers together. “It’s kind of like talking about movie monsters,” he admitted.

“Yeah, when you look at it like that, it makes it feel very much removed from reality. But we just want to start by letting everyone know that we do not idolize these people.” I glanced over at him, and he nodded in agreement.

“No! Not at all! In fact, I plan to mock the fuckers the entire time. We will never in any way disparage the victims or their families, no matter what walk of life they came from or what they were doing before they got killed. They did nothing to deserve it, and we talk about these villains so we can hopefully gain the knowledge to avoid them. So, do you want to get us started with our first monstrosity?”

I flipped to a certain page. “I wanted to begin with something rare in the killer world… a female murderer. And to make it even better, she’s from Australia. Or maybe it’s worse.” I laughed, then made my eyes wide. “This one is… bad. So awful.”

“Oh, ho ho… If this is what I think it is, this is terrible,” Seth declared in an excited voice. “Are we about to talk about human skin curtains and cannibalistic Sunday dinners?”

“WHAT?!” Jasper spoke loudly from behind the camera. His eyes were gigantic. Though I had sent most of my basic notes to our friend, my boyfriend had not read them yet.

“Uh, yeah,” he replied as he nodded his head, grinning. “This shit is cray-cray.”

“I hope that stays in the video, too,” I giggled. “So, I have some pictures to put up on the green screen in post-production about who we’re talking about.” I brought it up on my phone and showed it to my man. “It’s all in the files for you.”

“She looks like every Aussie mum from the nineties,” he mumbled as he handed it back.

I slipped my cell into my pocket, looking at my notes before peering up ominously. “Katherine Knight is a mother, but you wouldn’t want her to be yours, that’s for sure. Especially since after she killed her husband, she cooked up his literal ass to serve his children.” He gasped loudly. “She even arranged place cards on the table with their names, each with a slice of roasted dad with vegetables.”

Jasper looked utterly horrified. Our friend was giddy beside us. “This will be such a good show.”

Giggling, I shook my head a little. “Okay, so I’m going to list off some basic facts that we know to be one hundred percent true about Ms. Knight, then we’ll get into the more interesting stuff like the dinner and the fact that she masterfully skinned her ex like a cow.”

My boyfriend’s eyes got bigger somehow. He leaned in to hear more. The further we got into the filming, the more we were trying to get our cameraman to react. He liked horror movies, but he had not heard of most of the cases we were talking about. They were far more gruesome and scary than any film.

We took a break and ordered some lunch after the third. It was easy enough to get through, even if the details were dark. I could tell our friend was having a lot of fun. I was too. We went outside for a beer and some sunshine while we waited. I kind of hated how I sat alone on the couch. I knew Jasper wanted to sit with me but thought better of it.

“Hey, so how did your date go?” He questioned as he reclined in a chair across from me. I had forgotten about it.

Seth sighed and looked out at the city for a moment before he shrugged. “Meh.”

“You or her?”

“She wasn’t interested in a second one,” he remarked, taking a sip. “She said if I had an actual job…”

“Fuck her,” I snapped automatically. “I don’t know how much you make, but I know it’s more than any office job around here. Also, it’s when you want to work.”

“Apparently, YouTube is a fad,” he stated the words sourly, making finger quotes as he did. “Whatever.”

Jasper scoffed. “Everything is a trend. Literally, every damn thing. There are very few jobs around now that existed even a hundred years ago.”

“And those that have, have changed because of modern tools,” I added. “Like Jake’s hobby is woodworking. Even though he does a lot of traditional stuff, he’s still got electric saws and shit like that. Well, all I can say is thank goodness you dodged that bullet. She sounds like an idiot. What a bitch. You make real bread, and that’s what counts.”

Snorting softly, he shook his head. “You know what? You’re right. I was so caught up in her looks, I ignored some red flags early in the conversation.” Seth sighed, pushing his fingers through his spiky black hair. “It feels like I’m wasting my time trying to find someone.”

“You’re young. Why are you in a rush?” My boyfriend asked.

“Thirty-two is not a spring chicken,” he countered. “I want a relationship, but at what cost to my ego and sanity? I hate feeling judged. I don’t want to only fuck. And Tinder is stupid. I need a friend to go home to at night.”

“You’ll get that,” I promised.

Seth picked at his beer bottle. “I’ve never been jealous of Tyler and Lauren before. I saw their relationship grow and how it took time and hard work. That shit was tough. But now that they’re married and about to have two kids- I just… am I ever going to have that? Or am I only an old man on YouTube?”

“You are a very talented creator, producer, writer, and entertainer. You aren’t just anything. You’re fucking Seth Clearwater. You are a joy to watch and a pleasure to be around. I don’t know why these twits aren’t chasing after you, but they should be,” Jasper told him while using his bottle to talk. It bobbed with his words, pointing at him. Every time he boosted people up, it made me realize why Eddie had an ego.

He laughed, taking a big sip. “I need to say that to myself in the mirror every morning.”

“Yes, you do,” I agreed.

“Mm,” he hummed, shifting in his seat. “My confidence has been shit lately. I think part of it is watching you and the boss just fall into place. You literally showed up to his doorstep with a bow on your head and a note attached that said, ‘Your soulmate!’”

“It wasn’t that easy,” I said with a brief laugh. “And the only bow I had was on my suitcase, so I could tell which one was mine once I got off the plane.”

“Close enough!” He spouted, making Jasper chuckle softly. “Do you ever feel jealous of their relationship?”

“Oh, without a doubt, but probably not for the reasons you’d think,” he answered with a smirk. “But that was more in the beginning. Then I met Bella, and it was like she came wrapped with a little bow and a note that said, ‘Best friend.’”

I wanted to kiss him. He winked at me so our companion wouldn’t notice.

“Yeah, I’m kind of jealous of that, too. It took forever for Lauren to like me.”

“And then you make fun of her for being fat while pregnant with twins,” Jasper snorted, taking a sip. “Smooth.”

“Fuck, I know. I wasn’t thinking. I’ve apologized again. She’s still salty.”

The doorbell rang. My boyfriend automatically got up to get it. We both stood to follow behind. “Send her a vegan pizza and dessert at random. In the notes, say it’s for Tristan and Imogen. It’ll put you back in her good graces,” I offered as I patted his shoulder.

He pulled out his phone. “That’s an excellent idea. I’ll do that tonight. I’ll text Tyler to see what they’ve got planned,” he mumbled to himself. “Thank you. You’re such a wonderful friend.”

“Don’t worry about dating. If you’re not enjoying it, it’s okay to take a break. It doesn’t mean your romantic life is over. Mine was on pause for three years and look where I am now. Focus on yourself, and your person will come along.”

“Yeah. You’re right. I’ve got a bunch going on with this, anyway.”

When we finished rolling for the day, it was late afternoon. We had a lot of fun when we were together. The boys broke down the equipment so it was out of the way.

“So, do you think this will do as well as your video yesterday?” Seth mused as he put his personal camera away into its bag.

“Which was it?” I questioned, watching them from the couch with my binder. I was writing notes to myself for the next time we did it. Though I liked how we did, I knew we could do better. I also wished to look for extra visuals for them. I had several songs recorded that I wanted to suggest to Jasper too.

He seemed surprised that I didn’t know. “The coming out one. It’s gotten like twenty-five million views already, last time I checked.”

I dropped my pen. “Seriously? What?” I looked at my boyfriend. “Really?” He nodded, blushing a little. I bit my lip. “How does it have so much?”

“Eddie is getting closer to that thirty million mark. People have been sharing it, too. And there was a BuzzFeed article about it. There’s been a lot of nice comments and supporters so far. Some haters, but it’s the internet,” Seth explained. “You’ve been on there a lot lately.”

“What?”

“Oh, BuzzFeed. Someone up there likes you,” he chuckled. “My mom sends me shit whenever you’re on there. ‘Look, it’s your boss and his pretty girlfriend!’” He said in a funny, purposefully bad accent.

“Your mother doesn’t sound like that,” I teased. “I’ve heard her.” She was loud over the phone.

“No, it’s my grandma, but I think it sounds funnier that way.”

“Your mum thumps the back of your skull a lot, doesn’t she?” Jasper questioned. Seth nodded with an impish smile. Laughing, he shook his head. “Yeah, I’m a little shocked it’s done so well myself. And I’m a bit panicked because none of my friends have said anything, but they probably just haven’t seen it yet, you know? All of Tony’s sisters have sent me messages, though. They’re so sweet.”

I smiled to myself. “I like my future sisters-in-law.”

“Me too,” he acknowledged with a slight sigh. “They’re glad you encouraged me to come out so I can be myself. And you know what? I agree with them.”

Automatically, I got up to hug him. He pulled me to his chest, squishing me. I wanted to kiss him properly but settled on giving him one on the cheek.

“See? Now I’m jealous of your friendship. You make it look so easy,” Seth complained jokingly. I went to him and embraced him, too. Then I pressed a kiss to his temple. “I enjoyed today. This was new, and I think I needed that. I hope we get to do it again soon.”

“We will,” I promised.

Episode One-hundred-forty-seven: Work


“You look so damn good in that suit,” Jasper cooed against Edward’s lips as they kissed each other goodbye. We were around the table, eating breakfast. As always, our boyfriend and I were slobs while he was perfect. He had another recording session with Disney, and he was filling out his blazer very well.

“Do you need the car today?” He offered, pulling out his keys. “I’ll take a taxi.”

“We were going to hang out at home and record,” I replied as I fixed myself another cup of coffee. “If we need anything, we can have it delivered or take an Uber. Thank you, though.”

Leaning over, he kissed my forehead with his hand on the back of my head. “We should look for a vehicle for both of you soon.”

I scrunched up my nose. “But I hate driving.”

He chuckled. “Well, maybe one for him so he can drive you around, princess,” Edward teased before going towards the door.

“Have a good day,” I called to him.

“I love you.”

“I love you, too,” our boyfriend and I said at the same time. It made him beam.

Once he was gone, Jasper glanced over at me. “So, I need to work out if I’m going to eat this well.” He patted his firm stomach. “Do you want to take a shower after that?” He offered.

“Do you mind if I join you in the gym? I have to up my cardio if I’m going to keep up with you.”

“Oh, I’d love the company,” he stated right away with a smile. “Why don’t you get ready? I’ll do the dishes. I just need to put on my shoes.” He was only in basketball shorts. It made me so much more excited to work out. I hoped he would spend some time on the treadmill so I could watch. I was positive he wasn’t wearing underwear.

Pulling on yoga pants and putting up my hair, I slipped on a pair of tennis shoes. He quickly joined me, running to the restroom before preparing himself.

First, I stretched my arms and my legs, popping my back and neck as I did. Jasper warmed up on the elliptical. That was better than jogging. I stopped to gawk at him for a moment because I was right about him being commando, and his shorts were thinking about sliding down his narrow hips.

“What?” He questioned with a smirk. 

“Nothing,” I muttered quickly, embarrassed at being caught. I rushed to the treadmill myself.

“In a little while, would you mind spotting me?” He asked as he upped the pace.

“Of course,” I panted as I turned the speed up right away to hide my flush. “I mean, you just want a good excuse to look at my melons,” I said the last word sarcastically.

He laughed loudly, his head going back. I loved making him do that. It was so pure and sweet. “Yeah, you’re right. But I need a spotter either way.” 

How that man’s muscles moved was… breathtaking. Everything was tight and solid. He switched from the back machine to the free weights while I took my turn on the elliptical. Then he started setting up the bench. He put three hundred pounds worth of weights on the bar.

“Let me know when you’re ready,” he said, wiping his face before swiping the towel at his sweaty body. It was glistening, his skin tanned from staying outside for so long. He was much darker than Edward. He was looking like a California surfer boy. I was very much into it.

I hopped down from the machine and cleaned off my hands before taking a long drink of water. He sat back, smiling at me. I leaned forward and kissed his forehead. He pulled me down for a longer one on the lips.

“This is an amazing view,” he mumbled, brushing his fingers over my thigh. “Whew, I’ve got to not be distracted.”

“Right. Please don’t hurt yourself. Let’s not have your cause of death be my titties.”

“Stop,” he snorted, scrubbing his hands over his eyes before shaking his head. He peeked up at me and took a deep breath. “Ready?”

I smirked. “Yup.”

He did five reps of ten each. He was showing off for me. I don’t think he would have pushed himself as hard if I wasn’t around. I kind of loved it. He wanted to impress me, and it was working. When he put it back in place, he let out a heavy breath.

“There we go.”

Honestly, I could have fucked him on the bench. Jasper sat up, his back to me. He leaned his head back and rolled his shoulders. Sweat dripped down his taut body.

“Would you like a massage in the shower?” I breathed hopefully, biting my bottom lip.

He glanced over his shoulder at me. “Aren’t you a sweetheart? I’d love one.”

After he wiped his face, I came around to him and offered my hand to help him up. As the water warmed up in the bath, I kissed his chest. He had dozens of tattoos covering his arms and shoulders. Some were small and colorful. A cartoon heart with a dagger or a sugar skull in blue and red. Others were larger and solid black. A compass and a clock on either shoulder. Over his heart was a large rose outline. I pecked the spot several times.

I used the bath gel to help smooth my hands over his back. Taking my time, I savored the closeness. I admit that I just wanted an excuse to touch him. He didn’t mind.

Jasper stretched his powerful arms once we got out of the shower and sighed softly. “So, I’ll set up the camera equipment while you get things rolling in the kitchen?” He asked. I nodded, drying myself off. He took it from my hands and did my back for me. We gazed at our foggy reflection in the mirror. “How are you?”

“Happy.”

“Me too.” He kissed my shoulder. “I’m ready to do this with you.”

I let my hair dry naturally while I did my makeup. It didn’t take me long to finish. When he was satisfied with the equipment, he came to help me with the food. He was always so eager.

“So, you do the intro this time, and I’ll do it the next, hm?” He asked, writing something down on the clipboard.

“Sounds good.”

We stood in front of the island. Underneath, he held my hand for a moment before he began to countdown. “Okay, three, two, one…”

“Hi, and welcome back to the channel. My name is Bella, and I’m about to cook with the incredibly handsome Jasper. Today, Eddie is off doing some voice-overs, and whenever he does that, he ends up with a sore throat. And one of the best medicines is homemade chicken soup.”

He glanced over at me with a charming smile. “He does love his soup. I’m excited too because it smells incredible in here already,” he replied smoothly. “So, what kind are we having?”

“So, our man loves French onion, but I’ve made it for him a lot, so we’re doing a twist on it. We’re going to do a chicken, mushroom, and onion soup. It’s going to have loads of really condensed flavor, and the vegetables are especially good for your throat. It’s a very healthy meal until you add the garlic cheese toast.”

He soaked in every word. “Sounds great. Tell me what to do, Ms. Swan.”

Working with him in this way was so natural. He was more serious than Edward. It felt more like work when I was with him. That didn’t mean I wasn’t having fun. It was just more structured. He flirted differently while we were. It wasn’t as dirty. It was the way he touched me, gazed at me, spoke to me.

Once the soup was in the crock-pot to simmer until we were ready for it, we started on the quick Italian loaf that would bake in the oven while we filmed the dessert. It was a cinnamon apple cake with caramel drizzled over the top.

We made a gigantic bowl of it for the video and shared, only cutting up one of the two loaves I made. It was good enough to eat for two meals in a row, but I would add a salad to mine in the evening. He and I relaxed outside while we ate. After, I sat on his lap.

He was so quiet. His eyes were staring off into the distance, gazing at the city.

“Are you okay?”

“Hm?“ He peeked at me and smiled. “Oh, yeah. Just thinking.”

“About?”

He shook his head. “Just the videos.” He took a sip of his beer as he patted my thigh with his other hand. “I’ve had a lot of fun, and I’m not ready for it to be over. I don’t suppose you’d like to make another one with me?”

“What kind?” I asked, expecting it to be dirty. Or maybe hoping.

“Do you want to play a game with me? I wanted to do some retro gaming. All you have to do is play and talk trash with me.”

“So… be me?” I looked over my shoulder at him. He winked.

“Exactly.”

“Sure. Set it up. We’ve got a few hours before the boss comes home. We should be good little employees and work hard for our money.” I nibbled on his ear. He leaned into it, curling his fingers under my jaw.

Jasper slid his palm over my stomach, pulling me tighter to his body. “Yes. Exactly. Better earn our keep.”

“By playing video games.”

He patted my tummy. “Yup.”

Moving the chairs close together, he set up the computer so we could record with Edward’s face cam. I wouldn’t know what he picked until we started. His hand rested on my spine as we leaned into the shot.

“Hi! Welcome! My name is Jasper Hale, and this gorgeous creature is the talented Ms. Isabella Swan, and today we’re doing a little retro gaming!”

I peeked over. “Okay, just to be clear, what is retro?”

“Anything from the PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360 or before.”

I laughed. “Oh, alright. Things I bought as an adult are retro now. That is awesome,” I said sarcastically. I shook my head and sighed. “The first big gift I purchased for Aiden was a PS2 with a bunch of games and books. I was… Eighteen or Nineteen?”

“Aw! What games did you get him?”

I leaned into his hand that was still on my back. “Final Fantasy X and Kingdom Hearts. And I finished them both before him. I would stay up all night playing. I had two full one-hundred-twenty-five hour play-throughs on Final Fantasy. This was before the trophies they give you, but if they did, I would have had the platinum on both.”

“Oh, we should do both of those then at some point,” he mumbled almost to himself. “I mean, if you don’t-” He cleared his throat. “Sometimes you mention Aiden, and… is it okay if I put that in the videos? When they make sense. I don’t want to erase who you are. Tony always makes sure he doesn’t, but he’s worried about oversharing. He’s not been brave enough to ask you.”

I bit my lip. “Yeah. Of course. Thank you for asking first, though. This is the kind of thing he’d love to watch, actually. So, no… It’s cool. Thank you for being so comfortable with me talking about him. Sometimes, I feel like Edward is- I don’t know, mad at him.”

“He is. He’s pissed he didn’t cherish the time he had with you, how he would have. He’s annoyed he hurt you the last night you were together. So am I, but I didn’t know the man to judge him. You cared about him, and that’s what matters.” He paused, clearing his throat again before shaking his head. “Ready to begin?” 

I nodded. He pressed a button to start the game. I recognized the music right away. Laughing, I leaned back in the seat. I turned to gaze at him before saying the first line I knew by memory. “War. War never changes.” I clapped my hands. “Yay, a game I’m good at so I won’t look dumb. Thank you.”

He laughed too. “Today, we’re playing Fallout 3.”

“The voice work in this is so hilariously uneven. Like amazing, super sexy Dad Liam Neeson and like five other people they cycle through that have two unique voices, tops.”

“They spent all their money on Liam.”

I giggled before glancing at him. “Right. Is it uncomfortable that I think my father has a sexy voice?” I asked jokingly. He wiggled his eyebrows, making me snicker.

A baby cried on the screen, signaling the beginning of the playable parts. “Ohhh, this is the hardest part of the game. I’ve got to make my face not look like a troll.”

Two hours later, we were a good way into doing several missions as stupidly as possible. I was having so much fun. I was on my knees beside him, staring at the screen. He looked at his watch. “Okay. That’s enough film to start with.”

“Aw,” I said playfully, moving around the game’s first town, Megaton, to look for mole rats.

“Don’t worry. If this goes well, we can do this whenever you want.”

I leaned over and pressed a kiss to his cheek while still gazing at the screen. “You do the outro or me?”

“You can.”

“Alright, y’all! That’s all for us today. If you enjoyed, please do all the bells and whistles. Comment down below what retro games you’re interested in us playing next and-” I paused as I continued to play. Something big came into view. I hadn’t saved yet. It was running towards me. “OH, SHIT! Deathclaw! RUN! Fuck, fuck, fuck…”

Jasper cackled, cutting it off right there. “Perfect! Thank you!”

“I just died,” I pouted. “At least I saved like ten minutes ago.”

He was still laughing, leaning back in his computer chair. “God, that was fun. I haven’t done anything like that in ages. You’re a good gamer! I wasn’t expecting that. I haven’t seen you play this much.”

“I don’t much anymore. I’m not as good as you or Edward, though.”

Waving me off, he rolled his eyes. “We’re not, for one. We’re okay. And don’t compare us. That’s not the point. You’re so entertaining to watch. Your sarcasm gives me life.”

Then he kissed me before I could argue with him. He pulled me onto his lap as it deepened, my fingers sliding into his thick blond curls. Suddenly, he picked me up and carried me to the couch. Laying me back, he moved over me without breaking our kiss.

“I’ve wanted you all damn day long,” he mumbled as he pecked my throat. “In the gym. Fuck,” he whispered against my collarbone, pulling my shirt down to expose my breasts some more. “I wanted you on that bench so bad, but I knew if we started, nothing would get done today.” Jasper shoved his face into my chest, pushing them together.

“I did, too,” I admitted breathlessly.

“Can I have you now?”

I pulled him down for a kiss with one hand in his hair, and the other went to his pants.

We were both completely nude, and I had came several times already by the time Edward walked in on us in the middle of fucking. Jasper was on top, pounding into me furiously. The only thing I could hear was my moans and his panting. I certainly didn’t notice our phones or the door.

“Oh, hello. Ah, that explains it,” he muttered to himself in a funny tone. He turned to walk out. “Pardon me, I’ll give you some privacy-”

“Get your ass back here,” Jasper snapped, looking over his shoulder. 

Our boyfriend’s grin was as wicked as it was delighted. “Well, if you don’t mind me joining the fun…”

Giggling, I reached my hand out for him. “It’s your turn.”

He removed his jacket and threw it onto the computer before coming to sit beside my head. “My turn for what, beautiful?” He leaned down to peck my lips while Jasper kissed at my neck.

“Whatever you want.”

Episode One-hundred-forty-six: Peaches


When it was time to go, I offered to let Edward sit in the front with our boyfriend as he drove. Instead, he dragged me to the backseat with him so we could cuddle and kiss for his amusement. The sun was down, and no one could see us. By the time we got home, I was sleeping on his lap.

I woke up being carried by Jasper. We were already in our bedroom. Tired and surprised, I pushed my face in his chest. He kissed my lips several times after he laid me down in the center before going to unload the car.

“Mm, I’ll be there in a sec,” I mumbled drunkenly, trying to open my eyes wider.

He chuckled as he came over to me. “No. Go back to sleep, dove. We’ve got this. It’s alright,” he cooed, kissing my mouth slowly. It deepened for a moment. “We’ll be in here to join you in a minute.”

I must have fallen asleep because only a tick later, Edward was standing over me and unbuttoning my jeans. Lifting up, I wiggled out of them with his help. He pulled them from my feet with my shoes and socks. Sitting up for only a second, I threw off my bra and shirt to be more comfortable. Jasper chuckled again as he snuggled in beside me.

The bed was shifting when I woke up in a bright room. He was still cuddled up behind me, but Edward was dressed in nice professional clothing. They whispered to each other as they kissed several times.

“So, I’ll get off by seven for sure. We can have a quiet night in, yeah? We’ll see if Bella wants to order something for dinner. I’ll fetch us some beers on the way home, and we’ll play games?”

“What do you want to play?” He questioned in a sweet, sleepy voice.

“Whatever you want. I just want to play with you.”

“That’s what she said,” I mumbled into the pillow. It made both of them snort. Edward gently clapped my ass, making me giggle. “Sounds good. Whatever you wanna do, baby.”

He grinned as he leaned over both of us. Our heads were close together. Lightly, he pecked our foreheads. “I love you both. Have a wonderful day.” In turn, he kissed both of our lips.

After he left, Jasper lavished attention on the back of my neck. “Are you feeling okay?”

“Yeah,” I mumbled. “Just… tired. And sore. I’m fine. I just need to wake up. Maybe take a couple of days off from fucking.”

“Awwww,” he laughed. I giggled too. He lowered his voice into a whisper. “I have a rash on my thighs, so good. I’ve been rubbed raw.”

“Aw,” I pouted, turning to look over my shoulder at him. “Sorry.”

He rolled his eyes. “I’m not, dove. Worth every second. I just need to figure out something for it.” He looked underneath the covers at his legs with a grimace. “All the drugs are different in America.”

“I know what to get you. I need to go to the store, so I’ll pick up some while I’m out.”

“Mm, thank you. I have to do some editing today. I want to make sure your queue is filled for the next month. We’ve got a lot going on, and I need to be certain you’re both ahead.”

I rolled over to look at him. Placing my hands on his cheeks, I kissed his lips lightly. “I am so glad I have you to help me.”

We made out for several minutes, each second getting deeper. He pushed me onto my back to hover over me. I giggled against his mouth. “Oh, I thought you needed a break, too.”

“I do. Shit. I’m sorry. You’re just so tempting,” he mumbled as he flopped back beside me. “Want to take a shower, and I’ll take you to breakfast before we go shopping?”

“Do you want to go with me?” I questioned in surprise.

He shrugged. “I want to hang out with my girlfriend, yeah. I don’t care where. Though I have to tell you that this isn’t a proper date. We need to do that soon.”

“What’s a proper date?” I asked with a smirk. “Target doesn’t do it for you?”

Jasper scoffed. “No. It doesn’t. And a real one involves a quiet meal with wine and a place where we can whisper in each other’s ears and cuddle for a couple of hours. Like a movie. Or dancing. I’m a little jealous that Tony has gotten to take you out so much, and we haven’t done anything,” he admitted. “I appreciate the alone time, but I want to- I don’t know,” he sighed then smiled at me. “I’m impatient, too, just not as bad as him.”

“We’ll find the time,” I promised, giving him a kiss. “When your thighs aren’t rashy, and my ass isn’t aching.”

“Sounds good. My rear is sore, too.”

I scoffed softly. “Oh, I’m not surprised one bit.”

After a quick breakfast, we went to the store. My arm was wrapped around Jasper’s as we strolled inside.

“This is one of the first places I went to with Edward,” I commented. “We ate at the diner over there.” I pointed to it from across the parking lot. “The first picture I took of him was the very best. It ended up on the cover of the magazine.”

“I love that photo,” he declared.

“I was only screwing around because he was flirting so hard with me.”

He snickered. “You intimidated him so much. How bad was it? He said he was doing terribly at it.”

“I’m here, aren’t I?” I questioned as I grabbed a cart.

Jasper smirked wickedly. “Despite his best efforts.” He got the exact reaction he wanted, making me cackle.

“Hey, I could have gone after him harder, too. That’s on me.”

“YOU KISSED HIM FIRST!” He declared, clapping between each word. “He should have-” He stopped himself from ranting. He lifted his hands and made a funny face. “I was so mad at him that night. Such a fucking knob. She wants you, you handsome prick. Kiss that woman like you mean it!”

I leaned into him, closing my eyes as I tried to keep my laughter in. “Do you have room to judge?”

“Yeah. Because if that motherfucker had kissed me at any point, his pants would have been on the ground in thirty seconds. It doesn’t matter where it took place, either.”

I smacked his stomach lightly. “That’s true. Poor Edward. Don’t give him shit. I think his shyness is cute. It’s part of his charm.”

“Yeah, but you enjoy it when he’s cocky, too.”

“I prefer the in-between.”

“Me too,” he agreed.

When we got back to the house, he helped me put everything away before going off to the office to get some videos done. I had work to do too. I wanted to have all the pictures completed from the gender reveal before the end of the week. At the very least, most of them. I would give them both mine and the unedited. I would also make them a special book.

While I did that, I decided to multitask. Jasper and I would be making cooking videos alone the following day for the first time. One soup video, a bread, and finally, a dessert. It would be our dinner. Roasting some chicken, I listened to music while it baked in the oven. When it was finished and had time to rest, I used the bones and vegetables to make a broth in the pressure cooker. I was making two batches of it, so it would take a while. It needed to sit in the fridge so the fat could rise to the top.

It took awhile for it to finish and for it to be put away, but Edward still wouldn’t be home for a couple of hours. He had wanted to order dinner, but I figured I could make them a dessert. Both boys had worked so hard. Jasper had barely come out, only once to fetch a bottle of water and give me a kiss.

I was halfway through making a small blueberry peach cobbler when he came out again. It was around six-thirty. My filling had just completed, and I was ready to put the crust on.

“Oh, my god. That smells glorious.” He paused at the bar to look at the pictures on my computer. I had edited perhaps three hundred during that time. “Wow, these are beautiful. They’re going to be so thrilled.” Jasper scrolled down. “She looks so angry,” he laughed.

“I hope they do.”

“They will,” he promised as he came up behind. He settled his hands on my waist and kissed my neck tenderly. “Tell me what to do. I’m stopping for the day.”

I shook my head. “I just need to put it in the oven, then wash some dishes. It’s got to cook for an hour and then sit for another.”

“Perfect.” He swiped his finger into some leftover goo from the pan, tasting the sugary mix. He hummed. “It’s a… square pie?”

“Cobbler.”

He had another lick. “Yummmm…” He picked up the spoon. “I can see why you have a show.”

“I just threw it together. Should I jot down the recipe?” He only nodded as he took the pot with him to the sink. He saved it for last, eating as much of it as he could.

My phone rang, and I was surprised to see it was Alice. Normally, she texted first. “Hey.” I put it on the speaker because my hands were messy from cleaning the counters.

“Hi!” She said cheerfully. “I miss your voice. How are you?”

I smiled. “I’m great. Been cooking all day for shoots tomorrow.”

“Oh, the glamorous life of a star.”

“Right?” I laughed. “Oh, speaking of stars, I need to talk to you about something. So, I have a hot young lesbian friend who is going to be in New York City for a while. Are you interested in going on a date? She saw a picture of you and asked me to arrange something.”

“You’re pimping me out across the country. I don’t know how I feel about that.”

Snorting, I leaned against the counter. “I’ve met a couple of people you’d probably have fun with recently. Sarah will be there, though. She’s filming a movie around the city.”

“She’s a sweetheart and loads of entertainment,” Jasper encouraged when he wiped off his hands.

“Who’s that?” She asked immediately. She was so excited. “Is that your new guy?”

“You’re on speaker. He can hear you.”

She laughed. “What? Does he not know he’s the new guy?”

“No, I know,” he snickered. “Hi. You must be Alice. I can’t wait to meet you in person next week. Bella and Tony both speak so highly of you.”

“Me too! I’m so glad I’m going to see you for a couple of days,” she breathed. “We’re arranging a dance night with the group. Rose and Em wanna see you, too.”

I nodded, resting against my boyfriend. “Sounds great. Do you know if Roe has told Emmett or not about us?”

“She hasn’t.”

“Okay. Cool. So, uh… What about the date?” I asked again.

Alice hummed. “What’s her name? And she’s young? How young?”

“Twenty-two. And her name is Emma Sarah Jones.”

My friend paused for a second. “Wait. When you said ‘star,’ you meant…” She trailed off. “Are you serious?”

Jasper laughed at her reaction. “She’s just lovely. Not a celebrity-celebrity at all. Even if it doesn’t work out as a relationship, it wouldn’t be a bad time for you,” he encouraged again.

“Mm-hmm,” I agreed right away. “If she’s not busy, we should invite her to hang out with us. She’s cute, too. Nice ass.”

“Adorable wee little tits, too,” he added. I looked at him. He raised his eyebrows. “What?”

“She’s not that small. She’s at least a B-cup. Sarah isn’t flat or anything.”

“I thought I was about to get in trouble for complimenting her breasts,” he laughed in relief.

I shook my head. “But I just said she had a nice butt, though.”

“And I totally agree with you. Just compared to your knockers, she’s on the smaller side. Wee peaches vs… you know, melons.” He made a squeezing motion with his hand.

“AREN’T THEY HUGE FOR A TINY GIRL?!” Alice spoke too loudly. 

Covering my face with both my hands, I groaned. “YES or no on the date? Stop talking about boobs.”

“But boobies are fun,” he pouted as he patted the underside of my breast gently to make it jiggle.

“We will be friends, sir,” my best friend responded with sarcastic flair. “Sure. Why not? At least I can say I went out with a child star once.”

“Exactly. Alright. I’ll text her.”

Both my phone and Jasper’s beeped at the same time. “Oh, I think our boyfriend is on his way home. I’ll talk to you later.”

When Edward arrived, he had cold beer, wine, and a bunch of flowers for me. He grabbed them just because he was in the store. They were a lovely spring mix.

“It smells so good in here.”

“Dessert. Bella’s making something delicious with peaches.”

“You’ve ruined that word for me,” I told him sarcastically as I went to get a vase. He only chuckled wickedly. Our boyfriend looked at us in curiosity. “He was being a pervert earlier.”

“What fruit size would you say Sarah’s tits were?” He asked seriously.

Edward pursed his lips as he actually thought about it. “Oh. Yeah… peach. Apricots or plums, maybe. Bella’s got some cantaloupes, though,” he chuckled to himself. “Honeydews. Mm, I love melon.”

This was why they were friends. They both laughed like idiots.

I covered my chest with my arms. “Shut up and figure out what you want for dinner!”

Jasper snorted loudly. “You’re so cute. Your nipples are all hard now, too.”

While we waited for food, we watched television on the couch together. It was so normal and comfortable. After we ate, the boys played a racing game while I continued to edit. I did until I couldn’t see straight, putting my computer to the side. I stretched out on top of both of them, my head in Edward’s and my legs in Jasper’s.

For the second night in a row, I was carried to bed. This time it was my sweet man’s turn. 

“I could walk if you woke me up,” I complained softly.

“No, I enjoy doing this. It makes me feel like I’m taking care of you.”

I kissed his cheek lightly. “You both are.”

Episode One-hundred-forty-five: Heaven


Edward did end up tied to the bed for a couple of hours, fucked and used. Much to his pleasure. Jasper had me put on the strap-on so he could watch me take him until he came. And then he had his way with him. Afterward, he had our eager lover use every toy in the box after strapping me to the footboard while bent over. If this was what he was going to do while in control, I was all for it.

They somehow had the energy to take me from behind during—both of them. I was limp towards the end, allowing them to do whatever they wished.

I wasn’t sure how I stayed upright in the shower. My legs were still shaking like a baby deer through half of it. Dazed, I leaned against the wall while they took turns washing their hair. 

After we finished cleaning up, it was almost sunset. We had spent most of the last twenty-four hours sleeping or fucking. My energy was gone, and my stomach was growling loudly. We had skipped lunch because we were obviously too busy. Breakfast was just snacks. And we had done a lot since then.

“What do you want to do for dinner?” Edward asked as he slipped on a pair of long, comfortable shorts. They went to his knees and were baggy. They were some of his favorites. “I’m starving.” He stretched his arms above his head, rolling it from side to side. He had at least a dozen tiny hickies on his throat. Neither of us had been able to resist.

“I was thinking the same thing,” I responded with a smile as I brushed my wet hair. “Want to use the grill? We have some nice-looking steaks in there.” I went to put on my own shorts. Only in my sports bra, I moved around the room to finish getting ready. I hadn’t picked out a top yet.

“Hey,” Jasper called to me with a little smirk. He wiggled his eyebrows. I was rubbing lotion over my arms and shoulders. I peeked at him from over one of them. “Are you going to walk around in just that all night? Please say yes.” He purposefully bit his lip and sucked in a breath. “Pretty please?”

I laughed at his dramatics. “If that’s what you want. It’s comfortable, anyway. Do you want steaks?” I pressed, turning to toss the cream back into my luggage.

“Of course. Sounds delicious.” He came to stand behind me, his hands on my hips as he kissed the back of my neck several times. His thick fingers moved up my waist, digging into my skin. I leaned against him with a smile. Jasper dragged his nose over the back of my earlobe and inhaled deeply. “You always smell so nice.”

“Thank you.” I closed my eyes. His palm smoothed over my belly button, holding me tightly. “If I go topless, does that mean you will too?” I looked over my shoulder at him again. Edward grinned at me and our playfulness. He was combing his hair and watching us in the mirror.

Kissing my ear several times lightly, his other hand moved up my ribs. “Yes. If that’s what you want.” They slid over my breasts as his nose skimmed my throat. He pecked the nape a few times tenderly. I was so tired, but he made me ache with desire.

“We should stop before we start again. I don’t have the strength for another round,” I admitted sheepishly.

Edward laughed. “Neither do I.”

We started setting up everything we needed together, listening to music while we did. We were just going to have a salad and grill some corn. It was simple and delicious. None of us wanted to do that much work. It was perfect for the evening.

Edward did the hard labor of preparing the grill. Since Jasper and I didn’t have much else to do, he brought out the smokes again. He lit the joint and danced around to the beat, pulling me towards him. I took it from him, turning to shake my ass against him. We moved over to our boyfriend, still dancing as we passed it to him.

When I did, Jasper pulled me around so I was facing him again. He was more seriously dancing, putting one hand on my waist while holding the other. He dipped me down, moving me from side to side as he brought me up. My hair brushed the deck. Giggling, I let him twist my body whatever way he wanted. I loved being playful with him.

Wrapping my leg around his hip, he picked me up and twirled me in the air. “You are such an excellent dancer,” I complimented. “If you had trained younger, you would be an amazing professional. You’re the right shape for it. So muscular.”

Our boyfriend chuckled to himself. “Oh, I just had a lovely roleplay idea. Sexy older dance instructor and the eager young student…” He smirked at Jasper as he wiggled his eyebrows again, making him laugh. “Oh, Ms. Swan, teach me how to move my hips just how you like.”

“Ha!” He threw his head back and guffawed loudly. “Oh, my god. Yes, please,” Jasper drew out playfully. “Make me stay after class until I get it right.”

“How can either of you be in the mood? Aren’t you worn out yet?” I asked with a smirk. To answer, the man I was dancing with kissed my neck before nipping at it forcefully. It made me gasp. Instantly, my body reacted. My nipples got hard, and my stomach clenched.

He drew me up in his muscular arms, mine pinned against his firm chest. “I could fuck both of you for days,” he whispered seductively in my ear. Then he took my throat in his hand and kissed the other side deeply. My hands slid up to his shoulders slowly, just holding on. My eyes rolled into the back of my head. I realized I had only a single toe on the ground because he was holding me up completely.

“I can see her goosebumps from here,” Edward practically purred, taking another hit as he watched from the grill. The fire was starting to go down. Soon it would be ready to cook on. “You’re so beautiful together like that.”

We needed to stop before we started fucking again outside. They had so much more energy than I had. I was really beginning to feel exhausted. I needed food and probably an enormous glass of water.

Slowly, I pulled away. “I need to go get the steaks ready. I’ll be right back. Dance with him for a minute.” I pointed at our boyfriend.

“Oh, what an excellent idea, dove.”

While in the kitchen, I watched them move together happily. They were dancing differently. It was closer, tighter. Slower. Edward was leading with his hand on his back. Both of Jasper’s were tightly wrapped around his hips. They were chest to chest, breathing in time together. He was gazing up at him with a jovial smile as they pecked each other’s lips. I stared as I took a big sip from my glass, leaning against the counter.

They were in heaven. I had never seen two people more in love and euphoric.

After dinner, we decided to go back into the hot tub to relax. I was undoubtedly sore from all the fun from the past couple of days. Though it was quite early, I was worn completely out. Naked, I laid in bed while I waited for them to get ready to join me. It was difficult to keep my eyes open. I snoozed on my belly, my face shoved into the pillows.

Edward pecked up the back of my leg slowly, kissing my ass cheeks several times before licking up my spine. He was half-hard and rubbing against my butt. “One more time?” He inquired seductively in my ear.

“No,” I pouted, not opening my eyes. “Get off of me, I’m tired.”

Chuckling, he flopped beside me. He tugged me towards him so we could snuggle. I rested my head on his chest, never opening my eyes. Jasper pressed behind me. He kissed my shoulder, adjusting my hips so that my thighs were flush against him. He hummed softly. “Perfect. Sweet dreams, my dove.”

I was out like a light, not that I had a choice. My body dropped into weightless darkness within a second.

When I woke up in the morning, I was alone in bed. I stretched, slowly stirring. Listening for noise, I knew they weren’t in the room or moving around in the kitchen. I put on one of Jasper’s shirts and walked through the small cabin to look outside. The boys were sitting at the end of the dock, smoking, and drinking coffee while laying out in the sunshine. They were both shirtless and only in their boxers with sunglasses.

My men were so beautiful.

Smiling to myself, I went to make myself a cup. It was pleasantly fragrant in the kitchen, perfuming the air. There was still plenty left. I hated that it was already Sunday and our short trip was almost over because I wanted more time like this. I loved it so much. It was the most relaxed and at peace I had felt in days. I didn’t realize it was possible to be so disconnected from the rest of the world in such a good way.

Not wishing to interrupt their private time, I worked on breakfast. I was craving something with eggs, and I knew the boys enjoyed them. Everyone needed protein. I decided to throw together a frittata with the leftover steak and corn from the night before. Also, I sautéed some onions, mushrooms, and zucchini to fill it out. With fresh heirloom tomatoes on top, it was colorful. I popped it into the oven to bake before checking on them from behind the glass door.

Jasper was on top of our man, and they were aggressively making out. Their underwear was down around their thighs, and Edward was jerking them off together in his huge hand. 

“Oh, my…” I drew out softly. I sipped my coffee and leaned against the wall to watch. “Oh, my,” I repeated with a smirk, twisting my head to the side to see from a better angle. “Good morning, gentlemen.” I took another drink. “Get it, honey. Wow.” They were really going at it, both flushed and sweaty. Biting my lip, I grinned wildly. “The best part of waking up is watching your boyfriends fuck on a dock,” I sang to myself to the tune of the Folger’s jingle, then snorted like I was actually funny.

I opened the curtains a little more so I could watch from the kitchen area while I was cleaning up and cutting up some melon to go with breakfast. I was a pervert, and I had zero regrets.

Edward was so aggressive. He might not have known he was bisexual six months before, but he was enjoying the discovery to the fullest. Jasper was so loud when he came that I could hear him from inside.

“Oh, bravo, Eddie,” I said to myself, making another cup of coffee. I leaned against the island as I stirred my mug. “Excellent job.”

I was putting the frittata on the table and finishing up the toast when they came in. Edward instantly became sheepish. He was surprised to see me, and his cheeks flushed a bright neon pink as his eyelashes fluttered against his cheek. “Oh. Good morning, my love. Hello. I’m sorry. We didn’t mean to wake you.”

Giggling, I shook my head. “You didn’t.”

“God, it smells wonderful in here,” Jasper mumbled as he came to me and gave me a deep kiss on the lips. I could taste our boyfriend on them.

I wrapped my arms around his neck, leaning into him. “Enjoy yourself?” I asked in his ear.

“So fucking much.” He slapped my ass before washing his hands. I giggled again. “Did you like the show?” He winked. “Naughty little girl.”

“So fucking much,” I declared in his accent.

Edward chuckled. “Thank you for cooking. We were actually going to bring you breakfast in bed, but uh… well.” He waved his hand in front of him.

“Aw…” I drew out. “Well, you can do that another time,” I suggested. “I enjoyed every second.” I flicked my fingers at him. “Now go wash your hands. Do you want some more coffee?”

He grinned widely. “Yes, please. Thank you.”

We spent the rest of the morning just relaxing and enjoying the quiet together. It was my heaven.
