Chapter 2

Jacob Pov:

I had missed this. I had missed her. Missed the innocent way we played together how no matter what we could just be with each other. I guess I figured it would be gone now that she was different, but as I looked down at her I knew the truth. Nothing no matter the changes of time or fate would ever change between the two of us. We just were. That's the only way I could explain us. Bella laughed, "Oh the big bad wolf huh. Well two can play that game."

Then she stared at me for a split second and I was shoved landing on my butt a few feet away. She stood in one fluid motion a smile on her face. What the hell was that? "Oh you think you're the only scary thing running around at night?" She asked me with a giggle. I shifted not bothering to hide my body from her there was no point and slipped on my shorts. "What was that?"

"Just something I picked up. Seems like the reason Edward was never able to read my thoughts was because I'm a shield of some sort. And can block him, and literally shield myself. I'm working on it seeing what else I can do. Cool huh?" "Freaky... but yes cool." I admitted. She smiled at my acceptance before moving to sit on a fallen log and looking up at me through her hair. "Jake… did you imprint on me?"

I swallowed hard not sure what would come of this but knowing that no matter what I wouldn't start lying to her now, "Yes." She nodded her head, and patted the empty spot at her left. I sat with her and she turned taking both my hands in hers. "I have said this to you so many times over that it's probably lost all meaning at this point but I am sorry. Jake you're my best friend and more dear to me than you will ever know. I was wrong in a lot of things. Things I don't want to go into right now. But I want you to know that I am here to stay, and that I want to spend time with you and see if you still feel for the new me like you did for the human me."

I watched our linked hands as she spoke not able to look into her eyes hearing the emotions in her voice. "Even if we could get past the vampire werewolf issue Bell's your still a married woman. What about that?" "It's a bit more complicated than that. I am married yes, but in name only. We are not a couple Jacob nothing turned out the way I had planned, and I was wrong to think I could have the guaranteed forever with him and not you."

She was married in name only? What the hell did that mean? Was she trying to say that they never? No that couldn't be what she meant. "Ok it looks like I have to spell it out for you. Edward and I haven't been together in that way since the night of our honeymoon when I was bitten. After my change I had to learn to come to grips with being a newborn, and..." She took a deep breath and looked me straight in the eye, "He doesn't love me that way Jake, and it was always my blood. He's as hurt about it as I am, but it was always the call of my blood that held him to me, and now that I am a vampire... Well there's no more attraction left."

"Wait what?" I shouted standing and pacing. He only loved her because of the smell of her blood. "So your precious Edward only wanted you while you were weak and only then because he wanted to eat you! And you're ok with that?" I was stomping back and forth now as I yelled at her, "I knew he was sick I knew it all along. The danger he put you in... And for what? You left me!" I stormed to her and jerked her off the log gripping her shoulders hard screaming in her face. "You choose him over me! Just so he could marry you and suck your blood and now you come back to me as this! Now I can have you back after he's taken away everything I loved about you." Her gasp stopped my rant and I dropped my hands as if burnt. "Bella I..." "No please, you don't have to explain. Everything you said has merit, and in your point of view is true. I hope that once I leave you will find happiness Jacob you deserve it more than anyone ever could." "Bell's!" I called out to her but she was already gone my knees felt weak as I sat down hard then I broke and cried for everything that I had lost.

Bella Pov:

I ran back to the house and into the kitchen. "Bella?" "Yea it's me dad." "Is Jake with you?" "He was but he had something he needed to do. Do you need something?" "Billy is ready to head home so." "I will take him home dad, and have Jake give me a lift back when he'd done alright?" That's how I ended up sitting with Billy in his truck driving to the reservation.

"Billy I didn't really think this through to well. Do you have someone you can call to meet you at the line and drive you the rest of the way?" "The pack is allowing you on the rez Bella." I looked at him surprised, but then again if they knew about Jacob and the imprinting… "He will come around girl. Let the dog lick his wounds and you keep plugging away at him you hear me." I smiled at the man who had always been a second father to me and nodded promising him and myself that I wasn't going to give up Jacob this time without a fight.

"You should tell him Bella." "Tell who what?" "Your dad child, he deserves to know what you are. Don't you think he's going to notice that you don't age? Do you plan to just leave and avoid ever seeing him again so he doesn't find out?" "I have considered telling him, but it's dangerous Billy and I don't know that I want to do that to him." "Your dad has the pack to protect him, and at least one vampire on his side I think with all that he should have enough protection. Think on it."

As usual I was left with too much to think about, and a lack of courage to act on things that needed to be done. I pulled up into the Black's driveway and went to the passenger door to help Billy from the car. I had to give him credit he didn't flinch even a little as I lifted him easily from the truck into his chair and wheeled him inside. "If you don't mind Billy I would like to wait outside for him to come home. Do you need any more help with anything?" "Nope I can handle it from here; you go give my son a good sound talking to."

I waited for hours finally when the sun was rising in the sky Jacob made an appearance. "What are you doing here?" He growled at me. "I'm your friendly neighborhood stalker, what do you think I'm doing here? We still have things to discuss and I am not letting it end with one fight." "Bella nothing will ever end between us, but you have to admit that from my point of view this is a cluster fuck." Not knowing what to say I used a line I hoped would work, "Kiss me Jacob, I'm asking you to kiss me." His brown eyes met mine widening slightly and he stopped in his tracks as I advanced on him. I had to know if he could do it. If he felt that spark for me. Reaching out I touched his bare chest and ran one hand up lacing my fingers around the back of his neck, "Please." A growl rumbled from his chest his eyes darkening before him mouth crashed down to mine. It started as a punishment a hard rough grinding of our lips before it turned to more.

His hand wound in my hair the other around my waist pulling me flush against his large hard body; my mouth opened allowing him access which he took full advantage. His tongue met mine in a flick and I purred out the pleasure my senses reeling. I moved into him needed more and stroked my tongue against his, he tasted fresh and alive and I wanted no I needed more. My body responded in ways that I didn't expect as my nipples hardened and my breasts grew heavy a dampness pooling between my thighs.

Jacob kissed me like I had never been kissed owning my mouth claiming me, and I was lost to him never wanting it to end. Unfortunately for me his mouth moved away from mine and all too soon. "That was…" I touched my lips expecting them to be swollen but feeling nothing different. Jacob wore a smug expression and I allowed him that because honestly in my opinion I should be pinning a medal on him.

"Jake? Was it good for you?" "Bella kissing you has never been good for me. It's always been better than that." I felt my smile break and my cheeks actually lifted I couldn't help but feeling like I had won a small battle chipped down a piece of that wall. "Want to kiss me again?" His startled gaze made me smile even wider. "I could kiss you forever and still want to ring your fool neck! What am I going to do with you Bell's?" He asked with a small barking laugh before wrapping his arm around my shoulder walking with me towards his house.

We went inside and I followed soundlessly to his room he waved at the bed offering me a place to sit. I sat on the soft mattress as it gave and dipped under even my slight weight. He needed a new bed. "Are you tired?" I asked knowing he was. "Yeah I have been burning it at both ends lately. Look I'm going to take a quick shower and then I will be right back. You'll be here?" "I'm not going anywhere I promise."

Torture was what this was, and I swear by the quickening of his pulse that he knew I could hear him. The water had started and I sighed knowing that Jacob would be naked on the other side of the wall. That he was lathering his body with soap. That it would be trailing white foam across dark skin slipping into creases on its way down his massive hard toned frame. I fought to think of anything else, his dirty room the muddy shoes that were half hidden under his dresser, the unfolded laundry sticking out of the drawers anything. My eyes flashed up at the slight moan from the bathroom, and my teeth snapped together was he? No… he wouldn't… would he? With me here? He had to know I could hear him… Did that mean he wanted me to know? To join him?

Jacob Pov:

Needing to wash away the dirt and dust from running all night I stepped into the shower and sighed at the raging hard on that I wore. Honestly what had she been thinking asking me to kiss her? Ha… I knew what she had been thinking I just didn't know that she had it in her to play dirty. I had pulled that with her when we had fought the newborns using her love for me to get her to kiss me but Bella doing it to me was something I never thought I would see. With a shrug I had to give it to her she was good. I groaned in frustration as my wash cloth crossed my shaft.

That kiss, damn it was better than anything I ever thought it would be. She had kissed me that day kissed me as honestly as she could but this kiss was different she had responded to it she had wanted it needed it as much as I did, and it had been ripe with desire. Passion she had passion for me now that had been lacking then and when I had pulled her against me I had felt her nipples pucker and beg for my attention I had smelled her desire wafting up screaming at me to taste her.

Bella was mine, and fight it as much as I wanted my body knew she was mine and it wanted her. I looked down at the thick length gripped tightly in my hand and imagined how good it would be to actually take her to see her naked and moaning beneath me. A moan slipped past my lips and I jerked my hand away shocked that I had just been jacking off to the thoughts of my imprint when she was sitting in the next room on my bed ripe for the taking.

Maybe this is just what we both needed to make things better. I had imprinted on her, she however hadn't on me, and that was my hesitation. I would never have the guarantee that she wouldn't leave me again. Nothing to hold her to me forever. I couldn't face losing her a third time. I finished my shower and opened the door running smack dab into Bella. "What are you?" "Oh I'm sorry, I just… well that is to say I thought. Oh!" Her face turned away and she moved quickly back to my room. "Bella what the hell?"

She didn't face me I moved to her side gripping her chin making her look at me, "I swear I would think you're embarrassed if you could blush. What is going on with you? You've seen me in less than this before." She bit her bottom lip and my throbbing dick jerked in response. I quickly glanced down to make sure my loose sweatpants hid my erection. Her eyes followed mine and locked glued to the tip of my dick pressed against the fabric. "Oh my," She said and looked away but I grabbed her arm and pulled her against me.

"You do this to me!" I growled leaning down to nuzzle her neck breathing her scent. "You wanted me to kiss you I did and now I am a raging mess. You taste like ambrosia Bell's you smell like heaven, and I want more of you all of you. You wanted to know, and now you have it I want you. I don't care about the fact that you're his wife or that you're a vampire all I care about is having you with me when I wake every morning and when I fall asleep every night. If you can give me that if you can promise it to me then…"

She licked her lips her hands pinned against my chest her eyes wide, and a little afraid. Was I pushing for too much? Fuck it I deserved it all, and wasn't going to settle for less. "Jacob I…" Then perfect timing as usual her phone rang and the moment was shattered.
