On the last night of her annual trip to Forks to see her father, Bella finds herself a gorgeous distraction from ex boyfriend James.  Thinking she’ll never see the gorgeous Edward again she goes further than she ever thought she would with a complete stranger.   Will this be the last time they ever see each other or does fate have other ideas?

Thanks to the fabulous Mkystich for my lovely banner!!

Just two girls, on the road after high school, trying to find direction for their lives.

What seemed like a reckless idea might turn out to be more life changing than either Bella or Alice realized when the best friends first decided to go on a road trip. They pick up a sexy, mysterious hitchhiker and together they drive through adventures, romances, and trouble.

I'd been dissatisfied more times than I could count in the past two years, which probably wasn't a bad thing. Usually, it just meant another long month of disappointment on my part when we realized the new batch of women were no good. We'd found several candidates that fit our needs, but as was often the case, they lacked that certain spark I'd personally been looking for. It didn't matter, though; I always had a lot of fun deciphering through the rejects.

It wasn't about promiscuity; it wasn't about experimentation, although we did plenty of that. Our program was about learning how to find sexual pleasure, adapting to different methods, and finding that one person who chemically and physically matched us to perfection.

 Rated NC-17 for graphic lemons, sexual/adult content, and foul language. Canon couples...eventually.

When Bella Swan's typical teenage life is forever changed, she's forced to rely on a brother she barely knows and the makeshift family that surrounds him.  AH, OOC, ExB

"Darlin’, I have some bad news,” Wes began, and what he said next ripped my world apart.

I knew he was talking, trying to explain what happened, trying to lessen the blow. His lips were moving, but the pain was so loud I couldn’t hear him. My father was dead. Dad, the only family I really had, was gone, and I was…what?
