Author's Note: Alrighty, NellieGURL wrote a story, from a challenge based on what if Jake and Bella were really together, so I kind of ran with it, and did the challenge as well :/ I'm not all that happy with the result but oh well! Review please!

Leaned down, pressing his fiery lips to my forehead, and smiling slightly, and I shivered, and moved all that much closer to his shirtless figure. It had been so long…too long, since I had been able to do this with someone. Someone, I think I might love.

Granted, I doubted anyone could ever give me what Edward gave, the way our personalities just fit together, calm, at least in his case, where I was clumsy, he was incredibly graceful, where he doubted every move, and analyzed the options, I didn't give much thought too things like consequences.

Consequences…I hadn't been able to think or say that word in a while. I still remembered…

"Bella…Remember, your actions will have consequences." He growled playfully, pressing ice cold lips to my jugular, eyes shut as I felt his breath leave him as he breathed in that scent that he seemed to adore, that scent that I would be more than happy to let him try if the need felt too strong. "I know they do, I know." I mumbled shakily, and I blushed, leaning down and catching cold lips with my own lukewarm ones. Our lips pressed together chastely at first, before I tilted my head to the side, asking for more than he was willing to give. But in that moment, he hungrily explored my mouth for less than a second, before whipping away and jumping out my open window, while I sat in shock, mumbling about consequences.

…..

Jacob smoothed my hair, snapping me out of my reverie and I sighed longingly, "I'm sorry," I whispered, my voice hoarse. Too hoarse. Jake frowned, full lips moving downward but his choice was to stay quiet, biting his lower lip, a bad habit I took all the blame for. "Bella-" he started but trailed off, simply kissing me gently and folding molten hot arms around me and cradling me, like any faithful, loving boyfriend should, even though I wasn't sure about my stance on our romantic relationship right now. Not with…the…anniversary drawing nearer.

Jake's Point of View

I know she thought she was using me, making our relationship more because she didn't want to lose me, even though I promised her that I would wait as long as she wasn't sick of me. Being around her strengthened my control, that was my argument with Sam every time he brought it up.

But I couldn't tell her the news, not today. That news would tear her away, away from what we had built and been through together, no one understand me like Bella did. And I love her for it.
