Thank you for the reviews!

Felix set me down on the floor before the tub, and turned the water of the tub on. He tested the temperature before he turned to me.

"Help me take this thing off," I said gesturing to the sling.

He reached behind me to unfasten one of the straps of my sling and took it off slowly.

"Tell me if this hurts," he said his voice full of concern.

"I'm fine, Felix."

He nodded and slowly slid the brace off of me and placed it on the counter. I didn't know why, but I felt nervous for a moment. I turned towards the tub and pulled off my shirt wincing as my should flexed. I quickly pushed down my shorts and stepped in the tub. I swiftly sat down, and looked up at him through my eyelashes.

"Are you going to get in?" I asked with a shaky breath.

He nodded at me slowly. I swallowed as he pulled his shirt off. After seeing my pack brothers shirtless countless times I would think that another wouldn't affect me. Seeing Felix was different, I admired his broad torso and his muscled arms. He was so large, it seemed he has muscles on top of muscle on top of muscle. He hesitated as his hands went his shorts. I looked down and blushed. I wasn't a virgin; I had lost that to Sam. I wasn't sure why I should feel nervous, maybe it was the fact that he was my imprint.

"Scoot forward, Leah," he said in a deep voice.

I looked up at him taking in all of him then. I swallowed and I moved forward making room for him. His thick, long legs stretched out on either side of me. Overcoming my sudden shyness I leaned against him, placing my left shoulder against his chest so I could look at him. His arms came around me and he placed a kiss on my head.

I closed my eyes as I enjoyed the feeling of being held close to him. I had forgotten how good it felt to be held, even more amazing that he was my imprint.

"Does your shoulder hurt?"

"A little," I admitted his hand started rubbing my shoulder. "That feels nice."

For several long moments we sat in silence while he rubbed my shoulder. I closed my eyes. I felt Felix kiss my head again. I looked up into his eyes which had darkened. I cupped his face as his has hand moved from my shoulder to my waist. He pressed his forehead against mine, his cold breath hitting my cheek.

His lips then touched mine. They were tentative at first before they grew deeper. He moved my body so I was sitting across his lap. One arm I wrapped around his broad shoulders while my hand went up to his hair, pulling him closer, and causing our kisses to deepen further. His hands ran up and down my back leaving goose bumps across my skin that didn't have anything to do with the cold. I moaned as his lips trailed from my chin to my jaw and to my ear.

I had to get closer to him so I moved to straddle him. We gave each other long, deep kisses. His lips moved away from mine to trail kisses along my jaw and down my neck. I clung to his shoulders as his lips made their way to my chest. He kissed the swell of my breast before pulling away to look at me.

"You are a beautiful woman, Leah," he said in a deep, husky voice.

When I was a little girl my dad told me how pretty I was. Sam had often told me how gorgeous I was when we dated. It wasn't until seeing the look that I'd been craving that I believed him. His hands skimmed over my breasts, causing a shiver to sweep through my body.

I watched as his eyes never left mine while his head lowered to take a nipple into his mouth. My mouth fell open in pleasure as he gently sucked. I whimpered as his lips sucked harder as my nipple as it hardened under is attention. His large hand came up to caress my other breast. He bit down lightly on my nipple, careful not to break the skin, before giving my other breast the same attention with his mouth.

My hands ran over his large shoulders, arms, and back. His large muscles flexed under my hands, and I loved the feel of them. Felix pulled away from my chest and I whimpered at the loss.

"Be patient, Leah."

Felix smirked when I pouted. He grabbed a bottle of shower gel, a sponge, and poured a generous amount of the gel onto the sponge. He lathered it up before bringing the sponge to my body. He slowly washed my left arm, up my shoulder across my chest, paying special attention to my breasts before moving to my other shoulder and arm. I had to admit, it felt good to be taken care of like this. After he washed my body he did the same for my hair. We let the water drain from the tub before toweling off. I held my towel slightly in front of me while Felix dried himself off. He looked up and met my intense gaze.

I let the towel fall and walked over to him. Standing on my toes I put my arms around his neck to pull him in for a kiss.

"Thank you for taking care of me."

"Anytime."

Lifting me up off of my feet he pulled me into a deep kiss. I wrapped my legs around his waist and I felt myself being taken to the bedroom. I was placed gently on the bed before Felix covered my body with his own. We kissed again before I pulled away to kiss his jaw and neck. Felix's hands made way to my breasts again and I could help but moan. He paid special attention to my breast again, which caused me to arch against him.

"Oh, Felix," I moaned. "Feels … feels so good."

He surged over me, crushing his lips against mine.

"I want to make you mine," he whispers.

"I'm yours, Felix. I'm all ready yours."

I wrapped my legs around him for a second time and I felt him at my entrance. Felix ran his large hands over my thighs and grasps my hips. His eyes met mine and I nodded. He entered me in one thrust and I winced. It had been a long time since I had sex and Felix was a lot larger than Sam.

"Are you okay?"

"I'm fine," I whispered, stroking his cheeks and blushing. "It's been a long time."

"I'm sorry."

"Felix, don't stop," I said in a panic as I felt him move away, my legs that were still around his waist tightened. "Don't you dare stop."

"Leah." He groaned and pushed back in.

My head fell back against the pillow. My hands ran over biceps and shoulders. The cold combined with his large length his spots I didn't know I had. My fingers scratched down his back as I felt him push in and out of me. I couldn't help but lean up and bit his shoulder causing him to groan out my name again. Our moans grew louder and I could feel the tension continuing to grow in my body. Screaming his name I came hard, my hands clutching his large shoulders. He came moments later shuttering as he whispered my name over and over.

Felix collapsed onto me and accepted his weight, something I doubted a normal, human woman would be able to do. Tears leaked out of my eyes I ran my hands ran up and down his sides. I had never felt so loved before.

"Leah, what's wrong?" His voice was filled with concern as he lifted his head and looked at me.

I shook my head and kissed him gently. He returned the kiss before deepening it. Over the next couple of hours we made love countless times. I had never felt so close to someone before.

Hours later, he tightened his arms around me as we lied together in bed. My finger traced patterns on his chest and I sighed. I looked up at Felix and I smiled as our eyes met.

"Do you need to hunt?" I asked, noticing his eyes were blacker than they were before.

"Maybe in a few hours," he said, his hands running down my back.

"Do you want me to go with you?"

"I don't want to go without you," he admitted. "I don't think I could."

"I'll be there as long as you need me," I told him, caressing his cheek.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome," I said.

He leaned up and kissed me, pulling me down toward him again. I rolled my hips against him and smiled as I felt his erection against my thigh. I sat up and positioned myself over him before lowering down. He hissed in pleasure as I started to roll my hips, I couldn't help but grin at the affect I had on him.

"I think I can live with this," he said as his hand held my hip while the other caressed my breast.

I smiled and bit my lip while I continued to move up and down. I brought my hips forward, hitting my g-sport. My head shot back as he continued to hit the same spot.

"I can't hold on much longer, Leah. You're, you're so wet, baby," Felix rasped.

"Let go, Felix."

He grabbed my hips and thrust upward. I felt him spilling himself inside of me, making me come along with him. I let out a shout of pleasure. Breathing hard, I laid down, placing my head on his large chest.

"That was incredible," he said. "There is no way you're getting rid of me, woman."

I giggled as I pressed myself into him. Felix's arms wrapped around me, holding me even closer to him. I folded my arms and rested my chin on my arms as I smiled lazily at Felix. He grinned back, a spark in his eyes that wasn't there earlier. I couldn't believe he was mine.

Half an hour later, Felix and I dressed, glad that Esme had also brought me some clothes to wear, even if they did smell like vampire. I looked at Felix, realizing his smell didn't bother me. Instead of the stinging sweet burn he smelled warm and like cinnamon. After pulling my shirt, on I stepped up behind him, wrapped my arms around his large frame, and kissed his bare back.

"Leah, you had better stop if we are going to leave," he said quietly. "I need to hunt before I get too thirsty to go off of my new diet."

"Fine," I whined, letting go of him as he pulled a shirt over his head.

I held his hand as we stepped out the door finding Jacob who was pulling up his shorts. He looked up as we stepped out of the house. He eyed our intertwined hands warily. I raised my eyebrow at him after he looked up to our faces.

"I just came to check up on you," he admitted to me.

"We are just going hunting," I told Jacob.

Awkward silence fell over the three of us. Jacob looked like he was trying to find the right words to say.

"Look, I'm sorry for how things turned out the other day," Jacob said finally. "I think we were still keyed up from the Volturi coming, and then you imprinted on one of them. You are our sister too, Leah, not just not Seth's. We didn't know how to handle the situation."

"I just want you to know that I'd never hurt her," Felix spoke up.

"You should know that it will take us awhile for us to trust you," Jacob said.

"With my history, I guess I can understand that."

I gave his hand a squeeze.

"Do you know what you are going to go hunting for?" Jacob asked.

"Carlisle suggested mountain lion," Felix said.

"I can go with you," Jacob said. "I'm used to going hunting with Nessie."

I looked at Felix who shrugged his shoulders.

"I guess it wouldn't hurt in case I try to go off course," he said.

"I wouldn't let you," I said. "We know this area well, and I can lead you to areas where humans don't go."

"I know you won't let me slip," he said, touching my cheek. "It's me I'm worried about."

"You need to trust me, Felix."

"I do … it's me I don't trust."

"You won't," I said confidently.

"I can help with that, too," Jacob said.

We looked at him forgetting that he was there.

"I see how important it is to you, Leah. I want to help."

"Thank you, Jacob," I said, glad that I had him as my brother.

We followed Jacob into the woods, where Jacob and I turned our backs to each other to strip and phase. We ran through the forest keeping up with Felix easily. Using our sense of smell, we quickly found a mountain lion. Felix lunged at the large cat and killed it quickly before draining its blood. Watching him drink wasn't as gross as I'd thought it would be. I watched him stand up, and his shirt stretched across his back and muscles flexing, reminding me of our earlier activities.

I so did not need to see that, Leah, Jacob said through our connection.

Oh, like I haven't had to see it from all of you guys and I'm sure I'll get an eyeful of Ness when you two are at that point too, I thought back.

Still, Lee, he said, shaking his head.

I rolled my eyes at him while we ran back to the house, where Jacob left us to go spend some time with Nessie at First Beach. We walked into the house feeling exhausted and my shoulder felt a little sore. I held Felix's hand as we walked into the kitchen, where we found Esme cooking.

"Hello Felix, Leah," Esme said, giving us a warm motherly smile. "I thought you could use some dinner."

"Oh, thank you," I said.

"I also brought some clothes that Alice chose and put them away for you two," she said, looking at my face. "I hope you don't mind."

I looked at Felix, realizing that he would bind me to the Cullens and they weren't the people I thought they were. They weren't the people that made us phase and tore my love away from me. They were the ones who brought me Felix.

"It's no problem, Esme," I said, smiling at her warmly for the first time. "Thank you so much helping us."

"You're welcome."

"If we end up staying here, we'll buy the house from you," I said.

"No, we want you to have it."

"Why?"

"We were saving it for one of our children," Esme said simply, "and you are of the first to need it."

"But … but I," I said, opening and closing my mouth, "but I treated you all horribly."

"That is in the past now, Leah," Esme replied, "and you helped my family out with Nessie. It's the least we can do."

I went over and hugged her, and she wrapped her arms around me.

"Thank you," I said. "I don't deserve your and Carlisle's kindness."

"We don't mind," Esme said, pulling back from me, "and it gives me an excuse to take care of you kids."

I smiled and shook my head at her motherly instincts. Felix was sitting in a chair at the small dining room table; when I went to sit in the chair next him, he pulled me onto his lap. I smiled as he nuzzled my cheek, and I wrapped my arms around his shoulders. Felix wrapped his arms around my waist as I talked with Esme about refurnishing the house, something that Esme enjoyed doing in the great amounts of spare time she had on her hands.

"I don't know how you can eat that," Felix said as I ate while still sitting in his lap.

"I don't know how you can drink blood," I said, rolling my eyes at him.

"Touché," he said, kissing my neck.

As I finished my meal, Felix and I talked with Esme further, who started to do the dishes. I stood to help Esme earning a warm smile from her. In a way us doing dishes together it reminded me of helping my own mother when I was younger. I'll have to tell mom soon about us, I thought.

"I'll be over in a day or two to go shopping with you, Leah," Esme said, smiling at me before flicking her eyes to Felix and back to me, "but I'll call beforehand."

"Sure thing," I said. "I want to go see my mom to explain everything in a couple of days from now, so I can meet you after that."

"That would be lovely," Esme said, giving me a small hug before hugging Felix as well.

I shut the door after her and felt Felix wrap his arms around me from behind. He kissed the back of my head before I turned around in his arms.

"Didn't you get enough of me today?" I asked.

"Never," he said, kissing my lips, lifting me up in his arms, and carrying me to bed.

The next morning, I woke up with a pair of strong, cold arms tightening around me. I breathed in his scent and curled myself around him further.

"How did you sleep last night?" he asked.

"I've never slept better," I admitted, looking up at him. "I was pretty worn out after last night."

"Good to know." He smirked at me and I smacked his arm. "What do you want to do today?"

"I'm not sure," I said. "Maybe some breakfast first."

"I'll make it for you."

He got up from the bed and pulled on some boxers as I stared at him, in shock at his words

"What?"

"You know how to cook?" I asked dumbly.

"I did live in Italy, and being a vampire gives you a lot of spare time on your hands."

"Okay," I said. "I'll be right out."

He kissed me chastity before going out to the kitchen. I stood, went to the dresser, and went through the clothes that Alice had gotten for us. The first drawer I opened had me shaking my head at Alice, but I couldn't help but briefly look through the piles of skimpy underwear, bras, and lingerie. I pulled out a bra and underwear, hoping that Felix wouldn't come in before I dashed to the bathroom to dress, as I wanted them to be a surprise for later on today.

I quickly found some comfortable shorts and a tank top. I gathered my clothes before going into the bathroom, where I showered quickly, brushed my teeth, and dressed before going out to the kitchen. I swallowed hard when I saw Felix. I had a weakness for men who could cook but seeing Felix cooking in nothing but his boxers was almost too much for me.

"Do you need any help?" I asked, trying to distract myself from the amazing sight in the kitchen.

"No," Felix said over his shoulder, "I'm nearly finished."

I sat at the table, enjoying the view of my boyfriend cooking and bringing me a plate of amazing-looking food.

"Don't let my brothers know you cook," I said, "or we won't get any time alone together."

He smirked as he sat across from me. I took bites of the eggs and bacon, which were better than anything I'd tasted before. I quickly dug into my food.

"I think we should go to the main house today," Felix said.

My fork, which had been halfway to my mouth, stopped in mid-air.

"What?"

"We should go up the main house today."

"Why?"

"Your brothers are there," he said. "Jacob talked to me on the phone while you were in the shower, and he thinks you should come over."

I sighed, putting my fork down; I did not want to face my family today, especially Seth. I hoped to God that Jacob had not shared the intimate memories I had let him see by accident yesterday.

"Leah, you need to see them," Felix said, as I covered my face.

"I know," I said, sighing through my fingers. "I just am not ready."

We sat in silence while Felix kept his eyes on me. I started eating, chewing slowly. How would Seth react to us? I thought. We'd been so close to each other these past months. He was the one person I could drop my guard around, especially when we were the only ones in wolf form. He was my best friend, and he put up with my bitter thoughts and angry comments, and he still supported me. Now we were separated by my imprint. He'd draw away from me, who knew how long he'd take to accept it.

"Jacob said they worked things out with Seth." Felix said as if he knew my thoughts. "Says he wants to talk to you."

"I guess we can't put off the inevitable."

After I finished my breakfast (which was amazing and better than Esme's cooking), we got ready to go to the main house. We slowly walked there, holding hands, talking about little things, more getting-to-know-you-types-of-questions.

"What was your favorite memory?" I asked.

"I have quite a few from last night." He smirked at me.

"Before we met." I rolled my eyes and smiled at him.

"I can't really think of many," he replied. "I was rather close to Demetri. We'd go on hunting trips together at times, away from Aro … our duties …"

His eyes scanned the forest and he was a million miles away. After a few moments, he looked at me and smiled wearily.

"All of the best memories I've had are when I've met you," he whispered.

"Me too," I said, just as quietly.

We stopped walking, and his right arm wrapped around my waist, pulling me close. He bent down to give me a few sweet kisses. My arms wound around his neck, molding my body onto his. We pulled away as he pulled me against him, and I rested my head against his chest. I sighed and closed my eyes. He held me silence for awhile before we started walking toward the Cullens again.

The large Cullen house came into view, and I saw Seth and Jacob standing on the porch. Seth had his arms folded across his chest, and Jacob had his hand on Seth's shoulder. Their eyes fell on us and I eyed my brother warily and Seth's face softened slightly. Felix and I walked up to the porch, and Felix squeezed my hand.

"Is it okay if I talk to my sister alone for a moment?" Seth asked in a hard voice, unable to look Felix in the eyes.

I looked at Felix, and he nodded.

"I'll see you inside," Felix said, smiling at me and squeezing my hand again before leaving my side.

I watched Felix as he followed Jacob into the house before I turned to look at Seth, who was leaning his forearms on the railing on the porch railing. I went to stand by Seth and copied his pose.

"Seth, we need to talk," I said, looking at him.

"I know." He sighed.

We lapsed into an uncomfortable silence. Seth ran a hand through his hair before looking at me.

"I'm sorry for hurting you," he said, touching my shoulder. "Is it better?"

"It is," I said. "Good as new."

"Good," he said, looking at my face. "You seem happy."

"I am," I told him. "I'm very happy with him, Seth. I've never felt happier, even when I was with Sam."

Seth shook his head and took a deep breath.

"I just don't want you to have to go through anything else," Seth started to explain. "I mean first you had to deal with Sam, dad's passing, and having to phase. We all got to see how much pain you went through. I just think that he will take advantage of the imprint and take off the first chance he gets. I can't see you go through that because he is your imprint. If he left you Leah I know, I know that would kill you."

I started at Seth, feeling shocked. I had never seen him so angry before.

"I could see that happening," I said slowly, thinking about what I wanted to say. "At first, after I ran away from our meeting with the Volturi, I had the same thoughts. After he came to me on his own, I knew that we belonged together. I need him. He's made me feel whole. He needs me, too. He needs me because I genuinely want to be with him, not to use him as some kind of tool like Aro did."

Seth looked over at the trees again, deep in thought. His jaw clenched.

"Please give him a chance," I whispered. "I can't lose you, brother."

"You aren't going to lose me, Leah," he said looking at me. "I need some time to think about this, to digest it."

"I understand," I said, looking out at the trees.

"Are you two going to stick around?"

"For a little while," I said, and I placed my hand on his arm, "Thinks are going to work out Seth."

"I hope you are right Lee."

"I am sure, I'll see you inside."

I walked into the house worrying that Seth would never accept my relationship. My worry vanished as my eyes fell on Felix.

Felix's point of view:

The last twenty-four hours had been amazing. I had never been so happy or alive. I didn't know how I had lived without her. Being with her physically couldn't even compare to any of the other women I had been with. Maybe it was because I hadn't been in love before or connected with someone so strongly.

I now sat in the middle of the Cullen living room, watching the antics of the family. A week ago, if you had told me I would have been watching the dynamics of this family I would've never believed it. I looked around the group and coven didn't apply to them; they were a family.

It was interesting to watch Emmett bother his brothers, sister, parents, and niece and how his eyes danced at his teasing. It was captivating to see Alice bother Bella at her lack of trying to dress the way that Alice wanted her. I loved watching Esme dote on her honorary children and cook for the pack. It amazed me that these two groups of creatures that were meant to kill each other were a family.

I watched Jacob and Nessie interact with each other. I knew there were other imprinted couples out there, but it was interesting watching another imprinted couple, and the brother-sister relationship they clearly had. I could see the adoration that Jacob had for Nessie as he played chess with her, as Edward giving Jacob advice. I could see that Edward would have problems when Jacob and Nessie became romantically involved.

"I'm sure it won't be that bad," Edward said, rolling his eyes at me.

I shook my head at Edward; being around a mind reader would take some time to get used to. I was used to having someone in my mind but only through touch. Edward went back to the game, when Leah came into the room, her eyes falling on me instantly. She made her way to where I was sitting on the couch, trying to learn the rules of American football from Emmett. I tucked her into my side as Alice came to sit next to her.

"Do you need me to get you anymore clothes?" she asked us. "I don't mind going shopping with you, if you want."

"I think we're fine," Leah said, smiling. "Thank you."

"Did you make use of the top drawer yet?" she asked Leah.

I looked at Leah confused.

"We will tonight," Leah said, giving Alice a knowing smile.

"Too much information, Leah," Edward said from behind us.

"Sorry."

I then looked up to see Seth standing off to the side, watching Leah and me with his arms folded across his chest.

"Felix, can I talk to you outside for a moment?" Seth asked, nodding toward the porch.

"Sure," I said. "I'll be right back."

"I'll be watching through the window," Leah warned Seth.

"I know he's your imprint; you have to hover," Seth said over his shoulder as I followed him outside.

We stopped on the porch, and Seth cleared his throat.

"I want you to promise me you'll take care of her," Seth started, his eyes boring into me.

"I promise, Seth," I said. "I have to. I love having someone to take care of. I love being in a relationship where she doesn't try and manipulate our relationship to try and get something out of it. She wants to genuinely be with me."

"Still … it will take me awhile for you to earn my trust."

"I understand," I told him. "I don't blame you for not trusting me, but know that I love your sister."

"You had better love her."

"I do," I promised. "I need her."

"That's what Jacob said," Seth said. "He saw her mind when you hunted yesterday and what you had told her about your past."

We fell into silence. I didn't want to talk to him about my past; I was here to move on.

"So, how did hunting go yesterday?"

"Not as hard as I thought," I told him honestly, "but having Leah helps."

"Thank you for doing it for her."

"I love her," I told him. "I have to change to be with her. I can't lose her."

We heard a sob from inside and looked to see the whole family watching us with various looks of amusement on their faces.

"Well, welcome to the family," said Seth. "They are a nosy bunch."

"I guess so," I said.

My eyes went to Leah's face. Huge tears coming down her cheeks. She moved around the line of vampires and werewolves to come out to me.

"You love me?"

"I do," I said, touching her cheek. "I love you."

"I love you too," she said, wrapping her arms around me and kissing me.

I held the woman who had completely changed my life in my arms, feeling completely happy for the first time in my existence.

Please tell me what you think.
