Caught in the Flames

Chapter One Hundred Twenty-Seven

As always, none of this is mine. I'm just the perv who want to make our beloved Twilight characters swear, drink, and go at it like horny rabbits. This story will be a combination of love, suspense, some violence and steamy, sweaty sex.

*Lemon Alert*

Chapter 127

EPOV

We stopped at a nearby liquor store, picking up a bottle of champagne before we arrived at Jasper's townhouse just outside of Chicago in nearby Evanston. When we got there, I noticed my parent's car along with Emmett's, Garrett's and Seth's. I was glad to see my coworkers and friends from the firehouse. I had missed them and was anxious to hear what was going on at the house.

"I thought that Jasper was going to propose on New Year's Eve," Bella said as we walked up the steps to the front door.

"With everything that happened, Jasper didn't feel like it was appropriate," I replied. I remembered speaking to him, asking him about his plans for proposing to my sister. He was concerned about me and about Bella. He didn't want the fire to my condo to overshadow their happiness. He changed his plans and he had proposed on Valentine's Day.

"I'm happy for them. I'm glad that Jasper proposed," Bella smiled, ringing the doorbell. "Do you think that Alice is going to be a bridezilla?"

"More than likely," I said, kissing my own fiancée's cheek. "Alice was one of those girls who planned her wedding from the moment she came out of the womb."

The door flung open and Alice pushed her left hand into Bella's face. Bella laughed, pushing her hand back to see her sparkling bling on her ring finger. "Alice, it's beautiful," she replied, hugging my sister. "But, can we get inside? We had our own engagement photos and have been outside for almost two hours. We're human icicles."

"Of course! Of course!" she tittered, allowing us into the townhouse. Alice hugged me, smiling brightly. "I never thought this would happen, but I'm so overjoyed it did." Turning to Bella, she linked her arm with hers. "Bella, will you be my maid of honor? You're my best friend and I can't imagine you being by my side during my wedding."

"I'd be happy to," Bella breathed, walking into the townhouse.

Jasper ambled over, taking her coat, along with mine and hanging it into the hall closet. I handed him the bottle of champagne. "Congratulations, Dr. Whitlock. About damn time."

"Shut it," he snorted, taking the bottle. "With everything that happened, we wanted to be there for you and Bella. It didn't seem right. You know?"

"Yeah, I do," I said, patting his shoulder. "And I appreciate your concern, but now is a time to celebrate. Have you chosen a date?"

"It'll be next summer. I'll be done with my residency and hopefully, I'll have some time off," he chuckled dryly. "I know that Alice is not happy with waiting a year and a half, but it's how it is. Besides, she'll have all of that time to plan an ideal wedding. Speaking of which, will you be my best man?"

"Don't you want to ask your brother?" I asked, arching a brow. Jasper had an older brother, Richard, who lived in Texas. They weren't close in age or in relationship.

"Ugh, no. Richard will be lucky if he's an usher. You've been more of a brother to me than him. Will you?" Jasper asked hopefully.

"I'd be honored, Jasper," I smiled, giving him a brief hug. We walked into the family room and enjoyed the party. Bella was talking with my mom, Kate, Leah, Claire and Alice, beginning to plan my sister's nuptials. I chatted with Garrett, Emmett, Jacob and Seth about the goings-on at the house. The party went on into the night, laughing and celebrating. Bella got a little drunk, unable to keep her hands off me. I reveled in her affection, but her soft caresses of my skin and her coy little smiles made me want her. So, I hugged my sister, congratulated my future brother-in-law and dragged my fiancée out of his townhouse. Bella nuzzled my neck, her hands traveling over my chest as we rode in the taxi back to her house. My cock was pressed against my zipper, bursting for release. But, she had been pleasuring me as of late and I wanted to make her feel as amazing as I did.
