Prologue
I lean back slowly and feel the warm fur against my back. I look over my shoulder and Jacob's head is rested on his velvet paws. Jacob is in Wolf form with his soft russet coat.
The moon is out a lot bigger than usual and there is a crinkled reflection on the surface of the sea. My feet are buried in the cold sand.
The house is lovely! Once you step out that door you are immediately on the beach. Every morning you are awakened by seagulls flapping their white wings. The sun is bright each day and we have the best bedroom. Lovely wallpapers and gorgeous creamy carpets. The mattress is so bouncy and pillows are perfect for pillow fights. Not that we have tried it.
My hair is tied back in a bun and I am wearing my strapless, tight, rose red dress that mum and dad got me for my birthday. That is why I'm here with Jacob. As it's my birthday in two weeks he bought me here as my present.
Jacob is lying on the golden sand and I'm carefully leaning against him. The air and the sough wind are cold however against Jacob I feel nothing but warmth. The sound of the sea lapping on the sand relaxes me, calming my heart rate and soothing my soul. Whenever I am with Jacob I always feel at peace. We plan to sleep under the stars all night tonight; I won't need a blanket, Jacob's body radiates heat so warm I may as well be sitting by a camp fire.
As I'm sitting here on the cold sand all I can think is how lovely this is, how much I love Jacob and how I just can't believe that I have to go home on Sunday.
"Are you ok Jacob?" I ask staring out at the sea. I turn around and Jacob is looking at me lovingly with his golden eyes. I can see my reflection in his eyes. I turn back around to stare at the moon. It's beautiful.
Eventually I fall asleep snuggled up next to Jacob. He is so warm it hardly feels like I'm outside. I wake up in the morning to Jacob in human form, as warm as anything next to me. The sun is out, bright yellow flaming circle, burning my eyes. Jake is still asleep. I let him stay asleep.
