Authors Note:

This was my little mental break away from Tempted Fate. I hope you enjoy it. It's my first attempt in writing in 3rd person. (I was inspired to give it a try due to the talents of BlackImprint, SheeWolf 85, TwilightCakes, and vnsjvhgs) Because this is my 1st story ever (FanFiction and non) in 3rd person… I would really appreciate any feedback.

I plan on committing on making this a full story. (You can thank EZeeBaby for that… and her magical ways of subliminal persuasion over the internet and text messages… lol)

The postings may be slow since I'm working on Tempted Fate and its sequel. But I will try my best to split my brain in two so I can write two different stories concurrently. (It's not fair that I beg SheeWolf85 to post new chapters of Blood Moon when she's working on Give me a sign… lol)

Please note that Nessie's parents are 'out of character' for this story. (No hate mail because of Edward please… lol) Nessie's father in this story is more than a pain in the ass. Can you tell that I'm Team Jacob… lol.

And because I am so blind and don't beta my stories… if you see a typo let a sister know in a PM… lol. I'll get to most of them after I've read it a few times.

Chapter One:

It was a quiet night in La push. Not much excitement. Jake and his pack were hungry which wasn't anything new… but since they saw a commercial on TV with Italian food that's all they talked about for five minutes until someone just decided to call a restaurant in Forks and order. Leah, Brady, Colin, and Jared were on patrol tonight. A few others were going to take over their shift in the morning. It was a tedious job… But Jake and his pack were used to patrolling the area to make sure the cold ones didn't come near their tribe and nearby town. Colin and Brady were so skilled that they could take out a Leach with one eye closed. So no one was really worried that the youngest members were only joined by two others. But not all leaches were killers. They only knew of one clan that lived in Alaska that didn't hunt humans. They feed off of the blood of animals and their eyes are gold instead of red like the vampires that drink human blood. Jake's ancestors made a pact with them ages ago to not fight each other as long as they stayed that way. Ironically they have even helped them kill a few vampires when a group of them were having a killing spree in the late 60's. They are the only vampires that are allowed to cross their borders without getting ripped to shreds. It sickens Jake to think that Embry had sex with one. Her name was Tanya. Embry was curious and she seemed to want him as well. She had a history of sleeping with human men in the past. So it intrigued her to bed a shifter. Embry described it as slipping your dick in a cold sexy melon that had the ability to squeeze your dick. Unfortunately the whole pack got to sense what he meant when he thought of her. But Embry doesn't discriminate when it comes to pussy… So about anyone is fair game.

Since they were hungry they ate large bowls of cereal to hold them over until the food was ready. Jake knew he would have to go to the store the next day… wasn't much stuff left in the fridge. Mostly because everyone hung out at his house more. Sam, Paul, and Jared were married… so their wives didn't really like to have their house filled with a bunch of loud hungry guys all of the time. But on some nights, Sam's wife Emily would cook for all of them and they would play video games and hang out until they got the look that it was time to leave. That look mostly came from Sam. When Emily's period was on… It came from her. Jake loved his pack. They were like family to him and he didn't really mind that they all hung out at his house a lot. I mean… they did look up to him because he was Alpha. At first he really didn't want the responsibility when he first phased at sixteen… but after a few months it grew on him and he knew it was his rightful place. That was eight years ago. And in those eight years he has killed around twenty vampires and had a few broken bones in the process... but he heals fast. Also within the last eight years a few pack members have had a few kids. Jake's now and uncle since his sisters Rachel and Rebecca both had two kids. Sam had three sons, and Jared has two girls and one boy who he named after himself. Everyone just prays that Embry doesn't get anyone knocked up as much as he fucks around. Jake loves kids and would like to have a few of his own someday… but he doesn't want to settle down with a woman just in case he imprints on someone else. He knows how hurtful that could be from seeing what Leah went through. He doesn't want to cause that much pain for a girl… so he keeps it casual. But in the last six months he's gone cold turkey. No sex… No dates. Something in him just called it quits. He wanted more and he figured it was time for him to just be patient.

After everyone was done killing the last of his Captain Crunch and Apple Jax, they all piled up in Jake's Black Suburban and headed to Forks to get their food. Jake kinda wished that Embry didn't use so much milk since he's lactose intolerant. The windows stayed down in the truck for just that purpose.

"Damn man… really?" Paul scoffed.

"My bad… I said excuse me," Embry said.

Seth started coughing.

"Fuck Jake… can you drive faster so more air gets in here?" Paul asked frantically as if it were a life and death situation.

Jake chuckled.

"Well I guess I should buy some lactaid milk when I go to the market tomorrow. I mean Em… you know it does this to you. Why torture… Um us."

"Look… I wanted some frickn' Apple Jax… ok."

"Yo… just say no," Quil said scrunching his face up.

They all started to laugh and Jake turned up the radio and drove a bit faster to save his pack from passing out from the stench.

While in Forks Nessie's family were being seated at the biggest table the restaurant had. They needed all of the space to accommodate all of her family. It was her eighteenth birthday and her family and closest friends joined her to celebrate. She didn't want a big party, plus she didn't feel that well because her period was on. She loved the food there… but really couldn't wait for desert. She knew that her dad probably paid the restaurant for a birthday cake… but her eyes were set on the menu for the chocolate caramel cheese cake. The restaurant was packed and a bit noisy but she didn't mind. Nessie was glad that her family was there. Well not so much with her Aunt Rosalie. She always gave her a bad vibe since she married her Uncle Emmett. But Nessie was glad that her best friends were with her as she celebrated becoming a woman; though she didn't feel that different. Her parents didn't change her curfew. She still had to be home at midnight… so she felt like she was still seventeen. Her father was stricker than all of her girlfriend's parents and that bugged the hell out of her. But she knew she would have some sort of freedom when she went to school in September... though it was only in Seattle just a few miles away. But she felt like he wouldn't be breathing down her back. But he probably would find a way to do it regardless. She loves her father… but he has put her mother through hell and back and she doesn't understand why she stays with him. Plus he has a bad temper... so Nessie finds herself walking on egg shells around him to not get him started. She can easily cry and when he yells at her it makes her cry… even when she doesn't want to. He yells at her if she gets a B. One day she was sick when she took a test. After she took it she threw up and went home. Because she had a hard time concentrating, she got a C on that test. When her father found out about the grade he was so angry that she swore that he was going to hit her. Her mother stood up for her… But that only caused a big fight between the two. Nessie finds refuge when she stays with her best friend Jasmine and her older sister Polly. It gives her a break of all of her family drama. But she gets along with her aunts and uncles as if they were her best friends. She just wishes that her father would ease up. She fears that he's never going to change. But she has college to look forward to and living under another roof. Freedom is only a few months away she thought to herself counting down the days.

Just a few yards away… Jake pulls up into the parking lot checking out a black Jaguar. Man that's sweet he thought. He always had a love for sport cars and SUV's. He enjoyed his job as a mechanic… it was a nice break from the pressure of being Alpha of a pack. He could reassemble a transmission blindfolded if he wanted to. But his mission was to own his own shop one day. Jake had some money saved up… but it wasn't enough. It helped that his house was paid for and all he had to worry about was utilities and food. The pack joked that some of the towns taxes should go to them since in a sense they protect it better than the cops can. He didn't let the pressures of finance get to him. He was content and didn't require much. Jeans and T-shirt kinda guy that owned two ties. One he got for the job interview for the shop that he works in and the other was for a funeral of one of his co-workers grandfather.

All of the guys climbed out of the truck and also took notice at the Jaguar Jake was eyeing. A bright yellow Porsche was parked just a few cars down.

"Damn… somebody's ridding in style," Embry said beaming at the shiny cars.

"Whoo wee. I wouldn't mind taking that baby for a spin," Paul said.

"Yeah… that shit is sweet," Seth said.

"Yeah… they are nice," Jake agreed looking at the license plate.

"Damn I can't wait to eat their lasagna. I swear they make the best," Embry said rubbing his stomach walking to the restaurants door.

"Damn… more dairy. I should have made you order something else," Sam said.

"Whatever man."

"Whatever… you almost choked me to death," Seth complained.

"Ahh… you over exaggerate Clearwater."

"And you over stink Call."

Embry playfully smacked Seth in the head and Seth leaped at him to put him in a head lock.

"Yo… cut it out. We have to act civilized in there," Sam said.

"Ok... ok," Embry said laughing.

"I'm so hungry," Paul muttered to himself

"I can't wait to eat their chicken parmesan," Quil said smiling. He has been thinking of that dish since they got in the car.

"Well you don't have to wait long… but at least try to wait 'til we get back to the res. I don't want sauce and crumbs all in my truck," Jacob grumbled.

On several occasions the pack has trashed Jacob's truck with food because they have no table manners. Well simple etiquette since eating in a truck is not really eating at a table.

The air condition felt good on their hot skin as they opened the door to their favorite Italian restaurant. Though most of them could cook… none of them could cook Italian as good as this restaurant could. It was really crowded. But it was the weekend and most people ate out in Forks. Wasn't that much else to do unless you went all the way to Seattle. The pack walked up to the counter to see if their order was done. Many eyes followed because it was a site to see. Six tall Indians who were attractive enough to be supermodels weren't a thing that most women could not pay attention to. A few waitresses gasped at their presence. A few gay men also took a few glances. Jacob and his pack were used to this attention… and really didn't pay it any mind. None were conceited… but Embry liked the added attention. He also liked the extra pussy he would get from tourist who wanted to fulfill their sexual fantasies with bedding a Native. Jacob worried about his best friend hoping well praying to God that he wouldn't catch anything. Sam would give Embry weekly lectures… but Embry blocks him out. Jacob was thinking that his next option was to give him an Alpha command to be celibate until he imprinted. But he thought that he would go mentally crazy and jerk his dick off until he rubbed the skin raw. Jake on the other hand was sexually frustrated since he decided to go cold turkey. He wasn't looking for a girlfriend… he was looking for his future. He knew that it was possible for him to imprint… and he didn't want the extra baggage of another woman clinging to him when he wouldn't be capable of loving her the way she wanted. So internet porn was his girlfriend now. Though Embry thinks he's crazy because he could pull more pussy than anyone in the pack with his looks.

Jake noticed a flickering light in the corner of his eye and turned around to see what it was. A waitress was holding a cake with lighted candles taking it to a table. Happy Birthday to whoever he thought to himself. Something told him to keep his eyes on the waitress to see who the birthday person was. The waitress arrived at long table full of people. He gently smiled looking at all of the happy faces. When his eyes set on the girl who the cake was placed in front of his body stiffened harshly. Jake felt like his legs gave out from under him but he was still standing. "Yo… you ok Man?" Quil asked. Jake stayed silent staring intently at the beautiful pale girl with the brightest smile he'd ever seen in his life. His heartbeat started to race and gravity felt like it no longer existed anymore. All of the love he had for his family and friends took a step back and this woman took its place.

"Aww fuck… He imprinted," Embry said under his breath.

"Shit," Paul cursed.

But Jacob didn't hear a thing. He didn't hear the clanging of the dishes and the low murmur of people talking at the same time. All of his focus was on this one girl. The girl he didn't even know. But she was the girl that he would risk his life for… be anything for; a best friend, brother, or even lover. Jake focused in on the girl as she blew out her candles in shape of the number 18. Her lips pursed and he felt like he was gonna faint as his dick swelled with blood. "Come on Man… we have to get you outta here before they call the cops on us or something," Paul said. "You look like you wanna fuck the poor girl on the table in front of her family." Jake didn't hear Paul but heard a woman at the table call his imprint by her name Renesmee. He couldn't move and felt like his feet were planted into the marble floor.

"I think I have to drive… Jake's in no condition," Sam said remembering how he felt when he imprinted on Emily.

"We have to find out who the hell she is… we can't leave," Quil said.

"No… I will follow them so Jake knows where she lives."

"Damn… we go get Italian and Jake here goes and Imprint," Embry said in disbelief.

"Yo… it may happen to you man," Quil said. "Don't think you're immune… because you are not. You're just a male slut."

"I'm not a slut," Embry said a bit offended.

Quil chuckled.

"Ok… You're not a slut Em… you just fuck a lot of women with no emotional attachment."

"And?"

Quil rolled his eyes and pushed Embry out the door and into the truck. He was extremely happy for Jake… But also pained because the girl wasn't Quileute. How in the world was she gonna understand what's happening to her. She'll probably reject Jake and think he's a tall crazy stalker he thought to himself. Paul paid for the food still in disbelief that his brother-in-law just imprinted. Then Paul snatched the bags while Sam did his best to remove Jake from the restaurant. The next thing Jacob knew he was standing in front of his Suburban still in a daze.

"She's beautiful," he breathed.

"Yeah… she's pretty. But we had to get you outta there. People were starting to talk," Quil said.

"Yeah… a 6 ft. 6 tall Indian staring at a white chick with a bonner was causing a bit of attention," Paul said then huffed.

"A bonn…" Jake looked down and realized that he was hard. "Oh."

"Don't worry man. We'll find out who she is," Sam said in a comforting way. "I'll follow them so we'll know where she lives."

"Yeah… just don't fuck up and scare the shit out of her," Paul scoffed.

"Yeah… you can't just show up at her door and say you're mine… marry me and let me impregnate you so we can have pups," Embry said with a smirk.

"He knows… stop making it worst for him," Quil growled.

"Ease up man… Don't bite my head off."

"You need to respect imprinting more!"

"Alright… Alright. Jeeze."

Embry didn't want to imprint anytime soon. He couldn't see fucking the same chick every fucking day… That's just like a jail sentence to him. He wanted to be carefree and have sex with who he wanted to. He thought that imprinting was just unfair... that it made you love someone. He knew that it also had to do with finding the woman that would most likely help carry the shifter jean… but he didn't even want kids. They were whiny… snotty nose little things that just sucked up all your money and time. He had enough little cousins to play with. Embry didn't need a kid to actually take care of. All of the pack members looked down on his views on life and actually felt sorry that he felt this way. He was the less mature member of the pack… and he wasn't even the youngest. Colin and Brady were more mature than him in some ways and they were only fourteen.

Everyone waited in the truck patiently for her party to leave. They also ate and made the mess that Jake would have complained about if he was in the right state of mind. Jacob didn't touch his food. His eyes stayed glued on the windows of the restaurant waiting to catch a glimpse of his imprint. Around an hour later they all spotted her. Jake's heart felt like it was gonna jump out of his chest. Her family left in separate cars. A couple went to the black Jaguar and another went to the yellow Porsche, and a few piled up in a silver SUV. Sam followed the silver Volvo that she got in with what looked like her parents and sisters... or maybe they were her girlfriends because they didn't look related. He kept a good distance so it wouldn't be that noticeable. The Volvo stopped at two houses dropping off the girls then drove home.

That night Jake found out her address and later phased and lay in the bushes behind her house. He could smell her more distinctly as a wolf and he could also sense her emotions. She was happy and that made him happy. He also noticed that her period was on. Besides that she still had a sweet smell like mangos. Jake noticed that he didn't see a boy around her age with her at the party. If she had a boyfriend he would join her for her eighteenth birthday he assumed… well he hoped. If she did have one… he would wait it out until she didn't. Or just scare the shit out of him… one or the other. Jake's ears perked up when he heard a window open. He looked up and saw her in a red bra leaning out of it slightly with a small bag in her hand. His wolf dick started to extend from his fur at the sight of her bare skin. "I forgot to feed you… sorry been kinda busy," she said as she started scattering bird seed onto her back yard. Then she closed the window and shut her curtains. Jake smiled a wolfy grin as he loved the idea that she was a nature lover. I mean what eighteen year old actually cares to feed birds? he thought of buying her one as a gift… well one day when he knows her. Jake had to find a way to meet her so they could go out on a date. He huffed and laid his head back down on his large paws. He knew that this was going to be the spot that he spent many of nights to watch over her and protect her. She was his imprint and the most important thing to him in the world now. From the physical reactions she gave him, he prayed that she would want him more than a friend. But he would be anything she wanted and needed. He just hoped that she needed a boyfriend… no scratch that a husband. Jake started to day dream about being the perfect husband for her. He even thought of the kids he hoped to have with her. She was his everything and he prayed to the Great Spirits that he would be hers one day… and one day soon.

Nessie sat down on her bed with her piece of cheese cake and turned on the movie that she was going to watch. She never saw Rise of the Planet of the Apes before but heard it was good. Jasmine called her on her cell and asked if she was still going to First Beach tomorrow if the weather was good. Jake's ears perked up and strained to hear a bit better. Oh… I will definitely be there to meet her he thought.

"Um… I don't know. If my period is off I'll go," Nessie said in an unsure voice.

"Your tampon is not gonna suck up the ocean. Bring your ass… You need a tan anyway."

"You're right about that."

"Plus it may be some hot guys there. There's always some Quileute boys there. I keep telling you that's the place to go. But you always make up some lame ass excuse not to go. We hardly ever get a sunny day around here Nessie. Take your ass to the damn beach… gosh."

"Ok… ok… I'll go."

"You might meet someone. Lord knows you need to unwind. I would blow the fuck up if I was still a virgin at eighteen."

"Ha Ha funny. I mean… it's nothing wrong with it. I just haven't…"

"What? Found the perfect guy. What you savin' it for marriage… Good luck with that. Prepare yourself for disappointment."

"Oh… I love your optimism Jazz."

Jake got excited hearing that his imprint was a virgin. His other pack members that were on patrol that night were also excited for him. She was sweet, funny, and loved animals. Oh and she was beautiful. Jake whined not being able to be near her. He wanted to hold his imprint in his arms more than anything.

"Crazy how you don't wanna go out and party. I mean this is your eighteenth birthday… and you're home by 11p.m."

"Where would I go? I only have an hour to be back home," Nessie said sarcastically rolling her eyes to herself.

"Dag… your dad's still keeping your old curfew?" Jasmine asked a bit taken back.

"Yeah. I got the as long as your living under my roof… you will be living with my rules speech."

"Sucks ass doesn't it."

"Yeah major hairy sweaty ass."

Jake chuckled to himself listening to their conversation.

"I swear the only time I don't feel like he's ridding me is when I volunteer at the pet shelter. Since he won't let me get a job... that's my escape for awhile. Plus those puppies are so cute. I'm still pissed that he won't let me have one. I have to wait to get my own frickin' place just to have a dog."

"Well… be happy that you don't have to work. I have to or I wouldn't be able to go to the movies and get my make up."

"I know." Nessie sighed. "It just weird I guess. You would think that your parents would want you to have some type of responsibility?"

"I guess going to the pet shelter is what they see as your learning experience?"

"I guess so. I just feel like everything I do is ruled by them. I don't know… maybe I'm digging too much in it."

"You'll be ok."

"Yeah… I can't wait to leave though. Dad's all smiles tonight. But he's such… Ugg."

"It will be ok. Has he yelled at you recently?"

"No... it's been like a week. I swear that man has two personalities."

"Well you'll be outta there soon. Be strong."

Be strong… that's all Nessie has been trying to do for the past few years. Most of her friends think she has the perfect family. But her best friends know that her dad is angry all of the time for no reason. A few years ago she wanted to move in with her Aunt Alice, but her mom wouldn't let her.

"I swear mom is in denial of all of the things that go on. I feel sorry for her. I know I would never put myself in her situation. I will never stay with a man that treats me that way."

"You better not or I would slap the shit out of you."

"Well… I won't have to worry about being pimped smacked by the all mighty Jazz. I promise you… I won't let a man do that to me."

Jake sulked under her window as he listened to his imprint talk about her pain. He wanted to comfort her… but couldn't. He hoped that he could make her happy one day and not feel like she's in a doomed relationship like she feels her mother is. But he was glad that he would have an opportunity to bump into her tomorrow at the beach. Tomorrow couldn't come quick enough for him. Tomorrow may just be the start of his forever.

***oooOOOooo***

The next morning Jake and the pack went to the beach and sat on the sand next to a beached tree. They brought Frisbees, guitars, and a net for playing volley ball along with some snacks. He wanted to make sure that he had something that would interest her in hanging with him. It wasn't long until Jake spotted Renesmee with a few of her girlfriends. Two of them he recognized from the restaurant the other night. The other ones he never saw before. He racked his brain on ways to introduce himself... but they all seemed silly to him. Fuck it he thought to himself. Jake got up and started walking in their direction. The pack looked at him confused not knowing what he was going to do. Didn't he want a wing man? Quil thought. Quil rushed over to Jake.

"You would look like a creeper if you just walked up on her," he said.

"What and two guys won't?"

"So what's your plan alpha man?"

"Um… Introduce myself and ask them if they wanna play with us."

"Well… hopefully she bites."

Jake automatically thought of her naked biting his neck and had to calm down so he wouldn't have a bonner. He would have to do an about face if he let it grow. Can't walk up to her in kaki shorts with my dick pointing at her he thought to himself. Jake gritted his teeth and tried to think of something quickly to make his dick go down.

"What… you having a second guess on your plan?" Quil asked wondering why Jake had his expression.

"No… Just trying to think of granny in a bathing suit so I won't freak her out."

Quil caught on and looked down at Jake's crotch.

"Jeeze… you're gonna crash and burn my man."

"Have faith in your alpha alright."

Jake got himself together and focused on Renesmee. She noticed them walking in their direction and smiled when her eyes met his. He was so gorgeous that she got nervous because he was looking at her. She felt her skin heat up and knew that she must have been blushing. My God who is he? she thought to herself. Jake noticed that she was gazing at him and felt butterflies in his stomach. Now he just needed to know what the hell was gonna come out of his mouth. So much depended on a few simple words.

"Hey Ladies… nice weather," Jake said hating his opening line.

"Hi," all of the girls said at the same time. Some giggled.

"Hi," Jake said directly at Renesmee. "My name is Jake. This is my cousin Quil. Haven't seen you around here… are you on vacation?"

"Um… No," Renesmee said smiling. "I live around here. Just don't go to the beach that often."

"Oh… You live in Seattle… Forks?"

"Um… Forks."

"Oh… cool."

Nessie couldn't explain what was happening to her. She knew she felt giddy because this tall, dark, and handsome man was talking to her. But she felt like she was in an oven and her heart felt like it was gonna beat out of her chest. She even thought of looking down to make sure her chest wasn't violently vibrating. Quil started talking to some of the other girls. Jake really blocked everyone out except for her.

"What's your name?"

"Oh… Um… Nessie."

"Nessie?"

"Yeah… it's short for Renesmee."

"Really… ok. Cute name."

Nessie smiled nervously knowing her name was really weird compared to normal names.

"Do you guys wanna play volley ball with us? We're about to set up the net," Jake said as he gestured over to where the pack was.

"I've played before… but I'm not that good."

"Oh well that's ok. No one here's on any professional team we just play to have fun."

Nessie thought she was going to faint because she felt so hot.

"Are you game?" Jake asked hopeful.

"Sure she's game," Jasmine interjected.

Great I'm gonna look like a dizzy fool in front of this gorgeous specimen Nessie thought to herself. "Yes… I'll play," she said almost inaudibly. Her girlfriends all stood up and started to walk away with Quil. Jake reached out his hand for her to take. It was a nice gesture… but she really needed his support just to stand up. That's how dazed she felt being this close to him. She had no clue of how she would be able to hit a ball if she didn't think that she could walk without looking drunk. Nessie placed her tiny hand into Jake's. Her heartbeat sped up as soon as she touched him. It was like some invisible spark just gave her a jolt. She also noticed that his hand was extremely hot and wondered if he was sick. Or maybe it felt that way because she felt hot? Nessie feared that she would have to sit the game out and be a party pooper. She felt perfectly fine only a few minutes ago. Jake gently smiled at her as he helped her to her feet. He noticed that her cheeks were redder than they were when he first said Hi. He wondered if she was ok. Her heart was beating a mile a minute and he prayed that she wasn't scared to be with him. His height could be a little intimidating. But she and her friends had nothing to worry about; they were protectors and not predators.

Half of her friends went on one side while Nessie stayed on Jake's side. She guessed it was a fair game since all of her girlfriends had husky men helping them. Nessie felt nervous and didn't want to look like a fool. She took a few deep breaths and tried to relax. Her girlfriend's giggled and flirted with Seth and Embry. The other guys were wearing wedding rings and gave off a vibe that they were taken. Nessie got a few hits in which surprised her. She really didn't feel that well... and it wasn't icky cramp sickness. It was a weird sensation she really couldn't put a finger on. Maybe it was Jake that was making her feel all crazy? She really wanted to pay attention to him instead of having her eyes follow the ball. In the mist of trying to look at two things at the same time… the ball that was coming to her face and Jacob's smile, Nessie lost her balance and twisted her ankle. Jake rushed to her side quicker than human speed and caught her before she hit the sand. Jasmine's mouth popped open as she noticed his speed. Jasmine thought that her mind was playing tricks on her. She blamed it on the heat but was concerned that Nessie was ok. The pack knew that there was no way that Jake would let her hurt herself, so they only could cringe and hope that no one really picked up on his super speed.

"You ok?" Jake asked as he held her inches from the ground.

"Oh… Um yeah. Thanks," she said in a daze.

Jake picked her entire body up and held her in his arms.

"My ankle… It hurts."

"I think we're gonna sit this one out," Jake said as he carried her over to a beached tree.

Nessie was so embarrassed that she fell. But she was pressed up against Jake's bare chest... and what a prize that was. Jake sat her on the tree and looked at her ankle.

"I have some ice in the cooler."

"Thanks."

"Sorry I talked you into playing. I only wanted you to have fun… not get hurt."

"That's ok. I'm not that coordinated anyway. If it wasn't today… it would have been another day," she chuckled. "Look at all of my scars," she said pointing to her knees. They were very light and only a few shades lighter than her skin.

"This is from hiking… This is from riding a bike when I was twelve. Oh and this is when I tripped up my steps in front of my house when I was eight."

"Wow… battle scars huh?"

"Yeah… I guess so."

Jake briefly thought of all of his broken bones and skin torn off of his body while fighting the leeches. Unlike Nessie… He was fortunate to heal completely and not have a mark on him.

"Well l feel bad… let me make it up to you," he said as he tore a T-shirt.

"Oh… you didn't have to tear your shirt… I'll live."

"That's fine… it was getting faded anyway."

Jake placed a few ice cubes in the fabric and tied it around her ankle.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome. Um… so how do you want me to make it up to you? I'll be your servant and carry you around until you can walk better on it."

Nessie giggled.

"No… I won't need you to do that." Though she really wanted him to just so her body could be pressed up against his. Nessie looked over at the end of the tree and noticed an acoustic guitar.

"Who's guitar is that?"

"Oh… that's mine. Do you wanna see it?"

"Yes."

Jake walked over and picked up the guitar and then handed it to her.

"Do you know how to play?" he asked.

"Um… Only a few chords. My cousin had one and he tried to teach me."

"Tried? What happen… he gave up on you?"

"No… he moved to Texas."

"Oh… well I can teach you how to play if you want. I'm very patient."

"Really… you wanna teach me how to play?"

"Sure…" He wanted to teach her other things too but he kept that to himself.

"Ok... I'll hold you to that."

"Fine with me."

"Are you on facebook?"

"Yeah… but they're a lot of Jacob Blacks."

Jake pulled out his cell phone from his shorts and went to his facebook app.

"Mine is my name… Renesmee Cullen."

"Ok. But Um… How do you spell that?"

Nessie spelled it for him and he found her right away. Then he sent her a friend request. Nessie tried her best to hide her excitement that she would have a way to stay in contact with him. If her ankle wasn't hurting and she was alone somewhere she would be doing a dance. She held the guitar in her arms and tried to remember the correct placing for her fingers. It would have came to her quicker if Jake wasn't staring so intently at her. Nessie started strumming the guitar only playing simple notes. She wished she knew more so she would be able to impress him. But nothing magical was going to happen to give her the ability to play like a pro.

"Yeah… that's it. That's all I know."

"No worries. I'll have you sounding like Hindrex in a few years."

"A few years? You think you can put up with me that long?"

"Maybe even longer."

Nessie knew she started to blush again. She couldn't even hide it. She knew that he could see in her face the way he affected her. Jake moved closer to her and started to show her a few chords. His used his hands to help her place her fingers correctly on the fret. Nessie started to breathe harder because he was touching her. She wished it was like pool or tennis so that he would have to stand behind her to show her.

Oh my God he is so sexy. Is he really into me or am I dreaming? I know I wished for happiness for my birthday wish… maybe someone was listening.

After Jake showed her a few notes she handed him back the guitar. He wrapped the strap over his neck and smiled at her.

"What song do you wanna hear?"

"Um…"

"Just name it… I probably know it… or I'll just fake the hell out of it."

Nessie chuckled. "Ok… what about You and Me by Lifehouse?" It was the first thing that came to her mind and she just listened to it this morning. She didn't think that he would know it. But when he started playing the notes a few seconds after her request was made… She stared at him in awe. Then he started to sing and she forgot to breathe. Nessie couldn't keep her eyes off of his face as he sang to her. Her eyes traveled from his eyes down to his lips then back up to his eyes. He sang the words as if he were singing them just for her… and not just singing the lyrics. She would like to think that he did care for her like the words in the song. Jake sang the words and meant every syllable. He loved her and couldn't keep his eyes off of her.

After he sang to her… they stared at each other for a few seconds without speaking. Nessie was speechless and the way he looked at her was making it hard for her to breathe.

"You ok?" he asked.

"Yeah," she breathed. "Um that was… that was really nice. You're really talented."

"Thanks."

"So… you really think you can teach me how to play like that in a few years?"

"Sure."

"Cool."

Nessie and Jake talked for hours while their friends were off in the distance. They were oblivious to what they were doing and actually felt like they were the only two at the beach. They even didn't notice that their friends got in the ocean. Embry had his eyes on one Polly who he kept on dunking in the water. He knew he liked her and wasn't sure if he would keep her in the friend zone… or try to fuck her brains out by the end of the week. So far… she was in the friend zone because she was really sweet. He had enough girls to fuck him so he wanted to keep this one as a friend… unless she wanted something more that is.

Jake was so happy that Nessie seemed to want to spend time with him. They talked about almost everything under the sun. Nessie asked him plain out if he had a girlfriend. "No… I don't have a girlfriend. But if you know of someone who wouldn't mind the job… let me know." Nessie smiled shyly and felt her skin heating up again.

"Well… let me know if you know someone," he said in a sexy tone.

"I may."

Jake smiled at her and touched her hand. It was so large compared to hers. Plus the difference in the skin tone turned her on even more. Or it was just because it was him. But her entire body was alive with excitement because of his touch. They continued talking and her body language became more relaxed. They even got off of the log and sat on a blanket on the sand. She leaned into his body as they spoke. Nessie was amazed on how open she was with him. She told him a lot about herself but chose to keep the skeletons about her crazy father locked away. No one wants to date a girl with an abusive dad. But Nessie knew that she would get out of that house soon when she goes to school in Seattle this fall. Hopefully her mother would have the sense to get out of the house too and leave his ass for good.

The sky started to change to shades of pinks and oranges as the sun set. They were out there for hours but it felt like time flew by because they both didn't want to leave. They stood up from the tree and Jake opened his arms to give her a hug. Nessie got lost in his arms and closed her eyes and sighed. Jake squeezed her even tighter after hearing her exhale. He smelled so good to her that she wanted to kiss and lick his chest. She wanted to kiss him so bad but she knew that it probably wouldn't be that appropriate. Nessie wanted to feel his lips on hers.

Would it be wrong to kiss him? I know he has to feel the same way about me. God I swear I'm in love with him. He's everything I ever wanted. Kiss him… Just do it. Just look up at him and kiss him damnit.

Nessie moaned softly getting lost in the moment. Jake couldn't help but to get hard. She felt the imprint of his dick on her stomach and her pussy clinched. He felt embarrassed and wanted to back away from her so she wouldn't feel uncomfortable. Nessie looked up at him and her mouth slightly opened. Jake didn't move away like he planned. He was in a trance looking at the soft flesh of her inner lips. He desperately wanted his tongue to taste her beautiful mouth. Nessie unconsciously stood on her toes so that she could be taller. Jake automatically brought his hands to her face and softly kissed her lips. His dick was rock hard and couldn't do a thing about it. Jake deepened the kiss and she murmured in his mouth. She had never been kissed like this in her entire life. She felt a rush of wetness in her panties and her knees almost gave out. Jake pulled her closer to his body with one arm and ran his fingers in her hair with the other. He couldn't believe that he was actually kissing his imprint. There were a few cheers in the background… But none of them could register anything except for the way they made each other feel. Nessie made a deeper moan in his mouth and he thought he was gonna lose it and come in his shorts. He pulled away from the kiss because it was becoming torture. He wanted her so bad but knew he couldn't throw her on the ground and take her like he wanted to. Nessie's eyes were misting as she looked up at him.

"Wow," Jake breathed.

"Wow."

"So… I know we just spent hours talking… but all I'm thinking about is talking to you on the phone all night." Nessie shook her head yes still dazed about their kiss. "I'll call you tonight… ok."

"Ok," she breathed.

Jake looked down at her ankle and the corner of his lip curled down. He was upset that his imprint was hurt.

"How does your ankle feel?"

"Huh?"

"Your ankle."

"Oh... Um it's better."

"You know I can still carry you around it you want. I'll carry you home."

"That's ok. We came in a car. But I may wanna piggy back tomorrow," she said with a gentle smile.

"Sure… whatever you want."

"Promise?"

"Piggy back or whatever you want?"

"I was thinking piggy back at first… but leaving it open to whatever I want may be tricky."

"Why is that?"

Nessie smiled while she gazed at him thinking dirty thoughts.

"Um… No reason," she smirked.

It was time to say goodbye. Nessie really didn't want to leave his side. But they had made plans to go out to dinner the next day. She was ecstatic that she would be able to spend more time with him. Plus she couldn't wait to talk to him later that night. He kissed her gently on her forehead before she walked away with her friends. Nessie didn't bother taking off the fabric on her ankle. She didn't want Jake to throw it away and wanted to keep it for herself as a sentimental reminder of that day. She always cursed her clumsiness in the past. Now she thought that it just may have given her a chance to spend hours talking to the man of her dreams.

Jake watched her get in the car and drive off. The further she got the more his heart ached.

"Wow… you actually did it," Quil said in amazement.

"You know our alpha gotz skills," Embry said as he patted him on the back.

"Wow… she must feel the imprint pull," Jared said. "Kim told me that after I imprinted on her... she couldn't resist me though she tried. It wasn't long before we were tearing off each other's clothes. She wanted me for her mate… so I gave her that."

"Yeah… and nine months later yall had Jared Jr." Paul said.

"Yo… be careful," Sam said. "If your imprint wants you sexually it's gonna be hard for you to tame your wolf; especially if she's ovulating. It's like our bodies know it and need to mate. So what's that… a few weeks since she's on her cycle?"

"Um… Yeah," Jake muttered.

Jake knew that all of this was gonna be hard for the both of them. Nessie had no clue of what he was… and what their bodies would go through soon. He was so horny for her now... he couldn't even imagine it getting worst. The hard part was over. His imprint accepted him. Well… not totally. Yes she had feelings for him… but she had no clue that he was a shifter. One day she would have to find out. He prayed that she would still want him and that their bond couldn't be broken because of the truth. But the truth was that he loved her and would do anything for her. There was no denying that he wouldn't be everything that she ever needed. But the truth could also scare her away… and that would be more devastating than anything that he could imagine.
