Don’t You Wanna Take a Ride with Me? by stephk0525

Official Description: Can an intense encounter that began in the gym’s sauna lead to a meaningful relationship? Cautiously, Bella attempts to test drive this theory with her gorgeous Spin teacher, Edward. Fasten your seat belts and hold on tight. Rated M for L/SC.


This is a damn good story all around! Funny, witty, sexy and the characters are so likable! Wait, let me back up a bit before I go into full suck up mode…

This is on of those fics that has you from chapter one. Originally, this was a one-shot, so you are immediately thrown into the mind and attraction between E&B. At first Bella is shy with Edward, her spin class instructor, cause we all can get that way around guys we like (plus, it’s Edward, who wouldn’t turn into a blubbering mess in front of him?). Then after class, girl’s in the sauna with that delicious boy and in a moment of bravery (a what-the-hell-why-not moment, gotta love those) she takes the plunge…and it’s sooooooooo good!

Edward’s hands slowly migrated to my sides. I sensed his hesitancy of what to do with them as he traced circular patterns on my ribs, his fingertips moving closer and closer to my breasts. As our kisses grew in intensity, I took his hands in my own and placed them right on my tits because that’s exactly where I wanted them. My boldness obviously startled Edward because he broke our kiss and sucked in a sharp breath.

“Bella, are you sure you’re okay with this?” He questioned.

“Would I have put your hands on my tits if I didn’t want them there, Edward?” I smiled.

And even though things between E&B get complicated later in the fic, it remains sexy and funny as hell. Stephk0525 (one of the coolest gals in fandom history, btw) has the ability to pack a crapload of humor and pop culture references into this fic are awesome. It’s insane how much pop trivia this chic must know, makes me want to preview her brain on a big screen while drinking rum…or martini’s…no, no, rum would work best!

Oh, and did I also mention this is my favorite Daddy C ever? Wanna know why!?

I opened the door slightly, only to find my father doing this weird sort of strut, which made him look like he’d thrown his hip out, as he continued to sing the chorus of ‘Pimp Juice’ over and over. I seriously considered pulling my phone out to record this shit as future leverage if I ever needed it.

Instead, I cleared my throat. “Ahem, Pimp Daddy C, maybe next time you want to wait until we’re on the elevator before you decide to bust a move, or get your swerve on, or whatever the hell it was you were just doing,” I teased. “By the way, since when do you listen to Nelly?”

Love this fic, love the writing, love how things are progressing between E&B and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Spinward! Has so be one of my favorite Wards ever! Sexy, smart, cool, funny & a little bit of a bad boy, but with such a big heart! *lick*

Ah hell, I could go on & on, but why don’t you just trust me instead and go read it. You know you want to!
Don’t You Wanna Take a Ride with Me? is a super funny fic. I was genuinely giggling out loud through so much of this story. I could quote it endlessly, but from chapter 12, I think this was my favorite:

“Whoa, whoa, easy there, can you take a breath for me please? Embrace the oxygen. Come on, in and out, in and out.”

I genuinely enjoyed this story all through every chapter, and I can’t wait to see how Bella and Spingod work things out. They are in a tenuous state right now, but things are looking up — and I don’t just mean Edward’s cock. Although Chapter 11 does see a lot of that.

Stephk0525 really has written a story that is engaging and easy to read, but you get hooked and invested in the characters quickly. Bella is so certain, despite the fact that she seems to take care of herself and attend a weekly spin class, and has generally okay self-esteem, that she is undeserving of Edward. From the very start she thinks of their interaction as a crazy situation that certainly won’t continue. She perplexes me, this Bella.

Carlisle is hilarious, there are just no other words for him. Emmett is sweet and I’m curious to see how things play out with Rose, since she doesn’t appear to be a viable love interest.

If you need a laugh, or just want some juicy lemons, give this story a try — you won’t regret it. I’m eager to go back for a re-read and leave Steph some much-deserved review love.

Way before Stephk0525 agreed to disagree on the merits of Mike or DaddyC, I started reading this story. Originally a one-shot for the Indies First Time Writer’s Challenge, this was one that I really, really hoped would be continued. The girl doesn’t disappoint.

Like RoseArcadia said, this is a damn good story all around. I like that it’s funny, but not ridiculous. I like that it has an actual plot. And i like that sparks fly from the very beginning.

“Here you go. The water is nice and cold.” Edward paused, looking at me rubbing my shoulder. “Are you hurt?”
“I sort of have a perpetual knot right here that I can’t ever get to,” I said with a gesture. “It must be the way I sleep, I don’t know, but this dammed thing bothers the hell out of me sometimes.”
“Would you like me to try and work on it for you? I can be pretty good with my hands, or so I’m told.” And then he flashed me the sexiest grin I had ever seen in all my life.
Edward is offering to put his hands on me? Edward wants to rub me? What are the odds that this gym has a portable O2 tank? I am failing miserably at converting oxygen to carbon dioxide at this juncture.
“Well, are you sure you don’t mind? I mean that would be great, thanks,” I somehow manage to stammer.
“I offered, didn’t I?” he quirked. Resuming his position leaning against the back corner wall, Edward propped one leg on the bench and rested the other leg on the floor. He motioned for me to come and sit in front of him. It did not escape me that although my back would be turned to him, I would be nestled in between the very thighs that I had been fantasizing about not all that long ago.
Ironically, the tension in my body multiplied a hundred-fold as I sat down in front of Edward. My brain kept repeating to my lungs breathe, Bella, breathe over and over again. My body gave a slight joltas Edward placed his hands on my shoulders, kneading gently and causing my body to rock ever so slightly.
“Wow! You are so tense, Bella. These knots you have in your shoulders are horrible.”
Edward increased the pressure of his ministrations, which caused me to lurch forward, tensing up even more.
“Bella, you really need to try to relax if this is going to do you any good,” Edward advised. “Here, I want to try something. Do you trust me?” he asked.
“I guess I do, yeah. Why? What did you have in mind?”

Trust me. This is one ride that you wanna take. Right now.

Dirty Little Secrets by brits23 and lazykate

Official Description: Bella’s new life in Miami is fueled by one anthem: No Regrets. A steamy late night rendezvous with a cocky playboy is just what she needed, but an encounter with a blond doctor leaves her aching for more. BxE, BxC, AH. Rated M for hot Miami nights.


RoseArcadia says: Let’s kick off this review with a little derrière lovin’! Brits23 & Lazykate are some amazing Chicas who know how to write a damn good story. When they joined talents to write DLS, I knew I was in for one hell of a treat.

It begins with Bella deciding to move to Florida after her pencil dick boyfriend, Jacob, dumps her and kicks her out of their home. She then gets an offer from her best friend Alice to move down south to live with her and start over. On the drive down, Bella decides to live life with one thought in mind…No Regrets.

After arriving in Florida, she meets Edward, a cocky playboy and a vision of yummy walking sex. It only takes one fun and steamy one-night stand for Edward to show Bella what she has been missing out on.

“Bella?” I questioned softly.

“Hmm?” she smiled back at me as she slid her underwear over her hips.

“Where are you going?”

She smirked at me and patted my head like a dog. “I told you I was going home after you worked me out, playboy.”

I bit back my chuckle. “Bella…”

She rolled her eyes but smiled as she looked up at me. “What, are you going to get clingy on me now?”

I kissed her neck and lifted her from the floor, her eyes going wide as I laid her back down in the bed. “First of all, there’s nothing clingy about me. Second of all, I don’t expect you to sleep here if you don’t want to…but Bella? When did I ever say I was done working you out, as you so delicately put it?”

Fast forward a few weeks, Bella meets the fucking delicious Doctor Carlisle. He’s smart, charming, sexy and he wines and dines her the way she deserves. Add one hot lemon to the mix and this man is just too good to be true.

“Where are you going so early?”

“I don’t know,” I replied softly.

“Hmm.” He shifted, turning onto his side to face me. “It looks like you were trying to sneak out on me.”

“Uhh…”

He rubbed a hand over his face and then raked it back through his hair. “You can do whatever you’re most comfortable with, Bella, but I truly hope you’ll get back into bed with me. I’m not quite ready to let you go yet.”

One thing these men have in common is there need to keep Bella in their beds. The other thing they have in common…they share the same gene pool! That’s right readers, now you see how this can get complicated?

Dirty Little Secrets is unlike some stories where you wait to find out what is going on, for the big reveal to come. In this, you know exactly what’s going on and you’re just waiting for the big bomb to drop! Don’t waste another minute, click on the damn story and read!

tampagirl81 says: No words can say how much I fucking love this story. Team Carlisle or Team Edward? The automatic reaction is “WTF, a Team Carlisle?” Oh yes, baby, Team Carlisle. He’s sexy, a few years older, romantic, and did I mention a hot make-out session in the rain? Why you should be Team Carlisle:

“Can I tell you something, Carlisle?” her whisper somehow reached me through the pounding rain and in that moment, nothing existed but her.

I nodded and felt my lip quiver as her fingers tightened in my hair. “I’ve never been treated with so much care, so much respect, in literally my entire life. I can’t believe this day turned out the way it did and yet, it was completely natural…as if there was never any doubt that we were going to go parasailing and laugh until we cried in the rain.” She was quietly looking past me before our eyes reconnected. “Maybe I’m just crazy.”

I took her hand in mine and brought her wet knuckles to my lips, resting them against her skin and reveling in her touch. “You aren’t crazy,” I murmured.

What I love about this story are the multiple POV’s and seeing the characters change. This story introduces Edward as a male slut. Normally I detest the manwhore Edward because let’s face it, it’s been done before and how much fucking around does he have to do before he changes? This Edward starts that way but we learn to see a softer side of him. He cares about his friends and his family, he’s a vet and has a dog who has more personality then some characters I’ve read in other stories. What I love about this Edward is how he stays true to his slut ways to try and forget about Bella, yet he can’t stop thinking about her. We start to see him make the real effort and change for the better. It’s a good reason to be Team Edward.

I was happy with my life. I scratched my sexual itch when I needed to, surrounded myself with amazing family and friends, fulfilled myself professionally by doing good for the community…and yet ever since I woke up to a cold, empty bed that fateful morning weeks ago…I’d felt so empty.

What had this girl done to me?

I could try to lie to myself and my dog, the only two people who truly knew what my problem was, but I wasn’t fooling either one of us. I was looking for any excuse to see her again and discover why the hell one night of passion had me second guessing everything I’d ever known.

Need more reason to read this story and anxiously wait for updates? The angst that is around the corner of Bella having to choose between Carlisle and Edward. Well the angst the lemons, because let’s face it, anyone who has read Show and Don’t Tell knows Brits23 can write a fucking lemon. This fic has everything you could want. There’s angst, sex (lots of sex), humor, and Bella isn’t a canon Bella. She’s a person who is learning to stand on her own and learn to live life with no regrets. This is a Bella I would want to be friends with instead of wanting to bitch-slap her and tell her to snap out of her self-wallowing. I wouldn’t be a very good friend though, I’d tell her to be Team Edward so I could keep Carlisle all to myself.

Kassiah says: I’ve made no secrets about the way I feel about brits23; I love that girl’s stories. Show and Don’t Tell is in my top ten favorites and Laid Bare pwns. When I saw that she had a new endeavor called Dirty Little Secrets, I was ecstatic. Then I read the summary. And I cried. Carlisle/Bella? Could this wussperv handle it?

Turns out, I can. Grudgingly.

brits23 does the guys’ POVs and LazyKate does Bella’s. I haven’t had any experience with LazyKate‘s writing before, but let me just say, it’s superb. brits23 brings some of her best to the table. This duo is a match made in pervyh00r-heaven. I find myself constantly agonizing over this plot, not because it isn’t totally awesome, but because I’m so scared that I am leaning toward rooting for Carlisle. Carlisle? Yeah, I want her with Edward of course, but they are both outright fuckhot.

Her chemistry with Edward is off the cha
in when she meets him in a club and Snarkella comes out.

She didn’t miss a beat, looking at me like I had a third eyeball as she straightened up in the booth. “Okay, you get one chance to redeem yourself from that line.”

I shook my head, smiling sheepishly at my dumbass remark. “That was pretty bad. Can I try another one?”

I already botched my game, so I knew it was time to try a new approach at the goddess seated next to me. I was in uncharted territory…and it was fucking exhilarating.

She laid her head against the back of the booth, exposing the smooth skin of her throat that I desperately wanted to taste. “Go for it, playboy,” she crooned from beneath her lashes.

I shifted in my seat. I’ll give you a playboy…

I licked my lips and leaned towards her, the soft floral scent of her skin assaulting my senses. “How about…my name is Edward, what’s yours?”

Her eyes traveled down to my mouth before connecting with mine once more. “Nice to meet you, Edward. I’m Bella.”

I suppressed a groan at how gracefully her name slid off of her tongue.

Bella.

“Bella as in beautiful?”

How very fitting…

“Bella as in Isabella. Nice try, though.” She smirked at me as she crossed her arms over her perfect chest, and I suddenly wondered if fair Bella had a master’s degree in the art of ball busting.

I chuckled, shaking my head. “My lines are falling flat tonight, aren’t they?”

“Maybe you should stop trying so hard.”

My eyebrows raised in surprise. “Are you telling me you’re easy, Bella?”

NGL, when they hook up after the club, it’s pretty fucking hot. It’s emotional too.

My stomach twisted in sympathy for this poor girl. What kind of losers had she been with if they couldn’t even give her a round two? Hmm…it was quite clear to me that I would have to do everything in my power to make Bella Swan see God–repeatedly and often–throughout our one ambitious night together. I didn’t make a habit of repeat performances, but something inside me was screaming for more of this girl…and I had a hunch that she needed more from me too.

Days later, she meets Carlisle, a handsome ER doctor who takes care of her when she has an allergic reaction. She’s high on benadryl and quite flirty:

“You’re cute!” I told the hottie in the white coat.

“Bella!” Alice looked mortified. “I’m so sorry, she has a really weird reaction to Benadryl, and I think she took quite a bit.”

“It’s no problem.” Dr. Sex-on-Legs said, smiling. “I’m Dr. Cullen. How are you feeling, Bella?”

I eyeballed him appreciatively, from his blond hair, down his long legs, to the tips of his toes. “I’m great now.”

“No more problems breathing?”

“Wellll…I dunno, I think I might need mouth-to-mouth.”

Alice gave me a withering look as Dr. Fuck-Me-Please choked back a laugh and turned to her. “How do you think she was exposed to the peanuts?”

“I like nuts!” I said proudly, but they both ignored me this time.

They go on a few dates, stuff happens. I don’t want to talk about it. I’m amazed that brits23 and LazyKate have made me feel torn about the situation. I am always TeamEdward, but in this case, I’m sad for Carlisle. That is, if she chooses Edward, and seriously, will I be able to handle it if she doesn’t? No, no I won’t. If you’re a Carlisle lover, you really need to run to this fic rtfn.

The descriptions of all three characters thoughts, actions, and motivations are so vivid, it feels like I know them. The dialogue is authentic, and this story has one of the most adorkable Jaspers I’ve ever come across. For all that and so many other reasons, I highly recommend Dirty Little Secrets. I think you’ll love it.
