Shit!

She had a power over me right now. One that I couldn’t describe. After the one song, we started to dance to another song. I couldn’t help myself. Pulling her closer to me, we were slightly grinding. Shit, Shit! This was all that I could think. At that point, I decided that it wouldn’t hurt if I touched her. My hands found her ass and started lightly caressing it. Then, moving from her ass, I started to lightly caress her outer thighs. I hadn’t done it twice before two things happened.

#1: Bella started to look at me sideways like I was insane.

#2: Jasper appeared, out of nowhere, removing my hands from where they had been two seconds earlier and pushing her slightly away from me.

What the hell is he thinking? Touching Bella like that!

I happened to be on the outside of the dancers, watching Bella, when I saw what Emmett was doing. It didn’t take more than the second I realized what was happening to be there to stop him from what he was doing.

“Emmett, I think that the pretty blonde over there would like some attention.” I waved him to the other side of the room where a beautiful blonde was sitting, talking to her friends, and eying Emmett all the while. He looked a little confused. Then he looked from me to Bella and back again. He huffed a little and left the dance floor to go speak with the blonde. Turning to Bella, I pulled her into a courtly embrace. One that wouldn’t give away too much what I was feeling at that moment.

“I’m sorry Bella, on behalf of Emmett. I don’t know what got over him. Actually, I cannot say that. Your costume tonight doesn’t help.” Giving her a loving smile I slowly caressed her cheek.

Looking down at her feet, she answered. “I know, that was uncomfortable and strange, to say the least. Thank you for rescuing me Jasper.” She kind of laughed at that and looked up at me. “Well, Emmett will be Emmett! Besides, it is mostly his fault that I dressed like this. I just never thought that I would be on the receiving end of his attentions.”

“Him and 10 other guys in this room. You are definite eye candy tonight.” Then I winked at her.

We danced one song together, then made our way outside. After about thirty minutes of conversation, I went inside to get us a couple of drinks. She told me that she wanted a couple of shots. Something about ‘enjoy it while it lasts’. So I figured what the hell?! If Bella wanted to let loose tonight and enjoy herself, I was not going to be the one putting the chains on her.
