Short BellaxJacob fic.

Jacob is heartbreakingly beautiful. His body is territory that Bella never bores of exploring. His chest is hard and the abs ripple like waves flawlessly down his torso. His arms are sculpted and strong, she can see the veins bulging beneath the golden-brown skin, (he's so real, so alive, and he makes her feel alive, like she's no longer an empty shell, a soul wandering without a heart.) She loves being betwixt those arms, she swears with all the being she has left, she'll never let go.

Bella likes splaying her fingers and palms over his skin. He is always so deliciously, intoxicatingly warm, touching him makes her feel like she's on fire. She likes to bury her fingers in his silky, midnight hair, pulling him to her until their lips touch and they kiss and kiss until they're both rendered senseless and their lips are bright and swollen—

"Jake…" she gasps when his lips find the sweet spot on her neck that always makes her lose it. She feels like she's burning, her breath is coming short, and she can feel Jacob smirking playfully against her skin. She impatiently grabs hold of his hair and yanks him upwards towards her face, forcing their lips to meet again. Jacob's growl makes her tremble, and he slides his hot tongue into her mouth…

But a chorus of howls sounding in the distance interrupts them and Jacob reluctantly pulls away. He looks down at Bella, his warm, chocolate eyes apologetic. His body is tense; she can feel the guilt emanating from him. His full, luscious lips part to speak, but Bella smiles softly and presses her index finger to his mouth to silence him.

"Go," she urges, but there is a hint of sadness in her large brown eyes. "I understand."

"Ok," he whispers huskily. Before he goes he pulls her flush against him, kissing her slowly, letting her know what he'd do if he didn't have to leave—and then he runs for the door, from the window she sees a russet flash bound into the depths of the forest.

Oh, how she always wants to be closer to him, only to find that she can never be close enough.
