Well, here is my new story and I am really excited about it. I enjoy stories where Jake is in the Marines and him and Bella are together. I have a lot more of this story written so hopefully my updates will be more frequent. As for my other story, I have no urge to finish it, so if anyone wants to adopt it, just PM me and we can work it out. I have some big things in this story and now that my life has settled down, I have more time for writing especially with Thanksgiving and Christmas break coming up. Thank you for everyone that has been patient with me!

Dear Bells,

It is almost time for me to come home! In just a few short days I will be able to see your beautiful face. I miss you so much and can't wait to see you. I can't tell you where I am right now but it has been really rough. Thank you for sending the pictures of you and the family. They have gotten me through some pretty rough times. I am not going to write too much because I will be home shortly. I just wanted to tell you how much I love you and miss you.

Love,

Jake

I started to scan through every person that walked out of the terminal in the airport searching for one certain face. Minutes passed and still no sign of him and I began to panic. Then my eyes locked with the man in a white Marine uniform. My breathing stopped and my heart raced at a mile a minute. Not caring about a thing, I ran towards him and jumped in his arms.

"Jake!" I breathed in his scent and I felt like home. "I have missed you so much." I whispered.

"I've missed you too babe." he placed both of my feet on the ground.

"You look handsome." I smiled up at him which earned me one back.

"I had to dress up for my lady." he teased. Not wanting to wait another second, I leaned in and kissed him, melting at the minute our lips met. "I love you." he murmured against my lips. I returned the message and squeezed him tight in my arms, never wanting to let go. "Take me home." he told me and that's where we went. Little did he know, we are throwing him a welcome home party at his house with all the friends and family. The ride home was filled with a lot of 'I love yous' and him kissing me on the hand while I drove. When we pulled into his driveway, i grabbed his stuff which he greatly disapproved of, but eventually gave in. Billy, his dad gave him a warm welcoming home.

"Hey Jake, why don't you start up the grill while I put this stuff in your room, so I can start on dinner, okay?" I lied.

"Sure Bells," He quickly pulled me into his chest to kiss me full on the lips. I smiled at him and walked down the hallway to his bedroom. I sat his stuff down only to find warm familiar arms wrapped around my waist.

"Mmm...my Jacob." I sighed. He began kissing down my jawline to my neck. "Jake..."

"Come on babe, I miss you." he pleaded.

"I know you're hungry. Let's eat and I promise you, later."

"If we have to."

"We do." I laughed and I pushed him back out the door. Walking out the back door, everybody jumped out and surprised him. Jake's smile couldn't get any bigger which put one on my face.

"Did you do this?" He eyed me.

"Maybe." I kissed the side of his mouth, letting him see his friends and family. I didn't want to though. What I really wanted was to lock ourselves in the bedroom and never come out. I had to share even if I didn't like it. Eventually, I got carried into a conversation with Rachel, Jacob's sister, and Leah, a family friend. Every time that I would glance at Jake, he would always be looking back. Like we were in tune with each other. Everyone mingled and ate, and some went home. After things died down, Jake came over and sat next to me, pulling me into his lap. Those who were remaining sat around the small fire, reminiscing about the past. Jake and I were in our own little world though. He would whisper sweet nothings in my ear and kiss my temple. My eyes started to droop and sleep began to consume me.

"You ready for bed?" he asked while tucking a piece of hair behind my ear. I nodded, too tired for words. Next thing I know, he lifted me up in his arms and carried me to his bedroom, He sat me down on the bed gently. "Are you too tired to change or do you want me to do it?"I shook my head.

"No, I can do it." Since Jake has been gone, I would stay in his room a couple nights if I really missed him and my apartment was lonely. I stood up to search for my clothes, and Jake started to take off his uniform. "I wish you could wear that all the time. I love a man in a uniform." I stopped him and unbuttoned it myself. As I did it, I felt tears come to my eyes, realizing how much I actually missed him. One flowed down my cheek, and I wiped it really quick, hoping Jake wouldn't see it.

"Baby what's wrong?" he asked, and he stopped my hands.

"I just, really miss you." I finally looked up into his eyes which caused the tears to fluently run down my face. His face was almost heartbroken.

"Bella...I'm sorry." his arms wrapped around me in a tight hug. "I love you more than anything in this world. I don't like to see you hurting like this."

"I know Jake, but there is nothing that can be done."

"Maybe I should just not re-enlist." he sighed and kissed the top of my head.

"Jacob Black, don't you dare. You are not going to do that just because we miss each other. I would miss you anywhere you worked. Hell, I miss you when you're standing right here next to me. If being a marine is what you want to do, then do it. Make your dream come true and don't give it up." I scolded him.

"Bella I hate being away from you-"

"Is being a Marine what you want to do?" I asked.

"Yes, but-"

"No buts Jake. We have been doing this for three years, what's different now?"

"It gets harder and harder to say goodbye to you." he admitted.

"It's never goodbye. You will always come home to me." he softly kissed my lips, me melting at his touch.

"Always," He promised. My arms wound around his neck to urge the kiss to go farther. He responded quickly and I felt his fingertips run across the bare skin of my stomach. My breathing nearly stopped which only made him proceed. He removed my shirt and his lips were immediately on my neck. A moan escaped my lips, "Babe, if we're going to do this, we have to be quiet. These walls aren't very thick." He smiled at me and I just nodded my head, wanting him to continue. I took his hand and pulled him down onto the bed with me while taking it off, sad to see it go. His erection was clear from the bulge in his pants that was rubbing against my already wet core. His hands came down between us and seconds later, my jeans were off. His lips came down to my chest and traced the fabric of my bra.

"Just take it off Jake." I pleaded and he wasted no time at all. I missed his touch and his lips on every part of my body. The part I missed the most was him just being here. He threw my bra behind him and once his mouth was on my nipple, I moaned. I tried not to, but this was going to be a harder task than what I thought. He trailed hot steamy kisses down to my navel, and then even farther to my soaking wet panties. Jake slowly but surely pulled them off, and they went with my bra. He brought himself up and his lips came to mine.

"You're beautiful." He whispered against my lips.

"No messing around tonight Jake. I need to feel you. It's been too long." He obeyed my request and his pants were off.

"Your wish is my command." He smiled. I reached up and kissed his lips missing his touch already. "Are you ready?" he murmured in my ear and I nodded. The tip of his cock entered into my awaiting core and it felt so natural, like he belonged there. He waited for me to adjust, because it has been a long time since we were together intimately. After I gave him the okay, he dove into me deeper. I couldn't explain the pleasure that I felt and the way he made me feel. My release was building and I could feel that his was too.

"Jake," I moaned his name and he shut me up with a kiss as he went faster.

"Shh," he kissed my forehead, both of my cheeks, my mouth, and my neck. "You're so beautiful." He whispered. As the moment heated up, he took his right hand and reached down between us. Placing his thumb on my clit, he pleasured it with a circular motion. I tried not to scream, but I couldn't hold it in. He put me over the edge which ignited his release. He nearly chuckled at the way I reacted after the several times he told me to be quiet. Jake lied down next to me and pulled me onto his chest. My fingertips traced his perfectly chiseled chest and the beautiful features of his face.

"Hey, Jake?" I asked.

"Hmm?" he replied sleepily.

"I was thinking before you came back, maybe tomorrow that you could move all of your stuff to my house?" When Jake was home last, he helped me pick out a house that hopefully we will both live in someday.

"I thought you would never ask me." He kissed the top of my head. "Hey, did you get my last letter?"

"No." I frowned.

"Huh, I didn't know if you would get it before I got home. I guess you didn't."

"What did it say?"

"Nothing very important just because I knew that I would see you in person soon. I told you how much I love you and missed you. How you are the most amazing girlfriend in the planet." I felt the blood run to my face and my cheeks heat up.

"There it is. I missed that too." He trailed his thumb across my cheek.
