Ch 1

"Bella! What's wrong?!" Edward was very worried. She could sense it.

"I'm fr-fr-fr-freeezing" she stammered. Edward looked down on her and she immediately saw the worry start anew. "I'll b-b-b-b-b-be o-k-k-k-kay th-th-th-though" she stuttered once more before shivering.

Edward and Bella were in the small tent that Edward had managed to erect. Edward was pacing not knowing what to do when Jacob Black off all people flew in. He was enraged. "How can you let her just lay there and freeze to death asswhole?!" he screamed at Edward. He then walked over to her and unzipped her sleeping bag. Slowly he crawled inside and zipped it up after him.

Jacob Black was entirely too close for Bella's liking but she couldn't help herself. He was so warm and it felt so good. Edward was staring with wary eyes from the corner of the tent. As she nodded off to sleep she knew that he was keeping an eye on Jake. "He doesn't have to worry" she thought to herself. "Jake promised not to kiss me again unless I asked". With that she snoozed off. The last thing she remembered was hearing Jacob say that she loved Edward and that she wished he could warm her. "Do I though?" she asked herself. Before she could ponder any longer she fell asleep.

Bella awoke the next morning with Jacob Black beside her. His arms were wound around her and her arms around him. Her face had been against his chest and his cheeks had been against her hair. " Bella! Thank heavens you're alright!" Edward was looking very relieved. She turned to notice Jacob waking from his sleep.

"Damnit Cullen can't you let a man sleep?!" he exclaimed.

"Not when your arms are around my girlfreind" Edward retorted. He briefly stood and made to kiss Bella on the cheek. But she moved away, refusing to let him. Both Jacob and Edward looked at her oddly. "What's wrong love?" Edward asked her. "Can I talk to Jake alone?" she asked the pale figure looming above her. She quickly added "I mean completely alone".

"Of course" he replied as he walked out of the tent.

"Jake I need to tell you something." Bella began.

"What is it Bells?" he asked using her nickname.

"I" she faltered "I am marrying Edward" she blurted out.

"What!?" he screamed as he leapt up and began to tear his way out of the tent. He couldn't believe his ears. He knew that he had proposed to her but the damn leech hadn't told him she'd said yes. He must have known it would hurt so much more to hear it out of her own mouth. Bella ran after him.

"Jacob please listen to me!" she cried. "You are my best friend!". Jacob continued to storm away. He felt so wrong for what he was about to do but there was no way in hell he would stand by and watch the woman he loved marry a leech.

"I don't believe you" he said simply. "So I think I'll just go die in the fight out there, I bet that would make you and your leech fiancé so very happy" he watched and waited for her reaction. She began crying.

"Jake. Please. Don't. ." she said very quietly.

"The only thing I have ever lived for was your love Bella" he began meaning every word that was now pouring out of his mouth "and now, you are saying I will never have it. I would rather die than live without your love, without you". Bella's face hung in shame. As she looked up he saw the tears in her eyes and nearly cried himself. She looked so sad, surely she loved him. There was no way she could care this much if she didn't. Then she asked him a question that threw him off.

"Kiss me Jake. Please. Kiss me and come back to me. Come back so we can spend the rest of our lives together" she pleaded. He didn't hear the last part though as he was already closing the gap between the two of them. He enveloped her mouth in a hard, passionate kiss and was surprised when she kissed him back. He knew now that she had meant it. He began to slide his tongue into her mouth as his hands moved to her waist. Her hands were in his hair as she moaned into his lips. Suddenly she took his hand. Thinking that she had changed her mind Jacob let go of her only to find her dragging him to the tent. "Jacob, I want to feel you inside of me" she managed to whisper. Jacob froze, he wasn't sure if she meant it. But he knew she would never do something like that if she hadn't.

Jacob Black forced himself to breathe "Are you sure you want to do this?".

"Yes, absolutely" she replied.

He began kissing her fervently as he began taking her clothes off. She managed to get him out of his pants and boxers. Shyly she stared at his erection. She was a slight bit scared, but she wanted this. He began kissing her neck and she fell backwards pulling the tanned man down with her. They fell back onto the sleeping bag and he began to kiss her neck again. Slowly he trailed warm, wet kisses down to her navel and pulled her closer to him. She gasped as she felt his hardness against her inner thigh.

"Please Jacob. I need you right now" she moaned as he kissed her wet center.

Suddenly he thrust into her while his hands cupped her butt. She moaned in pain, pleasure, and ecstasy. As he began to rock harder and deeper she began to scream his name, shuddering at his every touch.

Her fingernails were digging into his back so hard that they were almost drawing blood but Jacob couldn't feel anything other than the body racking pleasure at the moment. He moaned her name as he thrust, kissing every part of her body, exploring her entirely. "Oh my god Bells, I'm gonna cum" he moaned. "Bells I'm cumming, I'm-" but he didn't finish his sentence as the warm liquid seeped out of him causeing them both to shudder in ecstasy. He smiled down at her and kissed her softly. It was then that he heard someone approaching from outside the tent."Bella" he whispered" get your clothes back on.

She noticed the careful worried tone of his voice and knew there must be someone outside the tent. "Who's there?" she whispered back.

"I don't know it doesn't smell like the Cullens" he said. She became frightened as she put her clothes on. Jacob had already pulled his boxers and pants back on. When she was fully dressed he pulled her out of the tent, keeping her close to his side. He cautiously looked around as he crouched. No way was he leaving Bella alone now. Something was here. And it smelled like a leech. His head whipped around as he saw a flash of red hair. Victoria. "Bella I want you to stay right here" he pointed to a spot where he could clearly see her. She nodded and stood there.

Bella watched as the redheaded vampire came out of the trees and into the clearing. She shuddered, knowing full well why the bitch was here. She continued watching as Jacob made the first move. Having already phased he made a lunge for the pale red head from hell. She sidestepped him easily and made a move to step closer to the watchful Bella but the russet wolf attacked her from the side causing her to fall over. Quickly regaining composure she got up and swiped at the wolf between herself and Bella. He managed to move just in time and made another lunge at her. She side stepped her and this time managed to make her way to Bella.

Bella noticed that Jacob was down. He was hurt bad and she knew that he wouldn't be able to save her. She was so scared as the pale redheaded vampire in front of her reached out to end her life. She was surprised when the russet wolf made one final leap at the red head. Buying the rest of the pack just enough time to jump her and finish the vampire off. She quickly ran over to her Jacob, at that moment nothing else in the world mattered. "Jake, you have to stay alive" he heard her say "You have to because I am breaking everything off with Edward and I want to spend the rest of my life with you please!" Jacob thought he must be dreaming.

When Jacob woke up Bella was sitting at his side. He was at home in his own bed. "Jake!" she screamed happily as she jumped at him causing him to fall backwards. "I was so scared I thought you were going to die!". She looked into his eyes and said "I was afraid I was never going to get to tell you that I love you".

He raised an eyebrow "Is that so?" he asked. "What about your wedding with the leech?".

"I can't marry him Jake. My heart belongs to you not him" she said with newfound happiness.

Jacob had never seen his Bells this happy before. "She really loves me" he thought to himself. He was so happy he thought he could jump up, and he tried. "Ouch!" he screamed.

"Jake what are you trying to do?" she questioned him.

"Oh you just made me so happy that I thought I could leap up for joy, ya know?" he said trying to be humorous. It worked. She laughed her laughter ringing through every corner of his room.

"Well the doctors here on the rez say you can't get up for another day or so" she replied between laughing spasms. When she finally calmed down she kissed his hand and placed it on her heart. "And when you wake up I will still be here, so get some more sleep" she said, having noted the drowsiness in his eyes.

"Only if you lay next to me" he said impishly. Next thing he knew she was cuddled up next to him, her head laying on his chest and her arms wrapped around him. If his father walked in he would laugh and assume there was something more to this pose. Yet he knew there was now. He had his Bella, he had won. He felt an overwhelming sense of peace as he looked down on her sleeping figure. Apparantly she had not slept since the fight. He snuggled closer to her and buried his face deep in her hair. Wrapping his arms around her in a solid embrace he dozed off into sleep.

Jacob sat looking at the dark haired girl in front of him. She was absolutely perfect. She was bringing him breakfast in bed. He groaned. There were many more things he would rather be doing besides lying in this bed all the damn time. But he couldn't complain too much. It was nice having Bella where she belonged, with him. It felt so right to hold her, to kiss her, and the day that they had made love, had also felt so right. It was undescribable, the way he felt when she was in his embrace. She gnawed at her lip, waiting for him to taste the food in front of him.

"The doctor says I can let you out of bed as soon as you eat breakfast so eat up! I want to show you something" she commanded. So he ate quickly, glad to hear that he didn't have to spend another day in this damned bed. As soon as he had finished he sprang out of the bed. Bella hadn't even let him move a muscle so it felt good to be up and moving now. He swept her off of her feet and carried her, running, to the beach. Once there he set her down and looked deeply in her eyes. "I love you Bella Swan" he whispered as he held her tight.

"I love you too Jacob Black" she replied giggling.
