Comforting Sounds Ch. 4
Leah was feeling kind of guilty about her behavior towards Jacob. She wanted to place all the blame on his shoulders but deep down she knew that this whole thing had been her fault. She could have easily headed home that night the impulse struck her to fuck Jake's brains out. It would have been so much easier, but she'd already made her choices and now she had to deal with the fall out; in theory, that is. In reality Leah was going to sweep her problems under the rug. They would be in good company right next to her true feelings.
When was she ever going to get her shit together?
Jacob's original plan had been to give Leah as much space as possible, even when they had to be alone together. His plan was not so easily executed.
After their huge initial fight Jake had done his best to treat her with indifference. Of course Leah had to ruin his plan by being her usual bitchy self and one night after patrol, she snapped.
"What the fuck is your problem?", she barked, arms crossed, closing herself off.
Jake feigned ignorance, "What do you mean? I don't think I've been acting any differently than normal."
"Liar. You know damn well that you've been avoiding me. We work together four nights out of the week and you hardly say ten words to me. You're gonna give a girl a complex," finally her humorous side began to poke through.
Jake didn't want to fight but he also didn't want to joke around. He was still too nervous to let his guard down around his Beta. Deep down Jake knew that he had fallen for his Second in Command. He wouldn't call what he felt love, more like a deep admiration and respect. Regardless of its title he still felt it and those feelings made him nervous. Jacob had been working over time to control his thoughts in Leah's presence. He couldn't let her know that he dreamed about their encounter almost every night. Jacob would never forget their encounter as long as he lived. He promised himself he would stop; they couldn't become fuck buddies; it was sure to end in disaster.
"Leah, seriously, chill out, I'm not doing anything differently. You're just paranoid." He turned away from her, hiding his true feelings which were clearly etched on his bronzed face.
Leah rolled her eyes in exasperation, "Whatever." She walked in the direction of their next patrol area. Jake took a deep breathe. Bad move. He instantly inhaled Leah's scent.
Shit, how was he going to make it through the rest of the night?
"You gonna get your dick outta your hand and join me or am I gonna have to patrol on my own?" Leave it to Leah to make Jake forget any romantic notions he had towards her.
Jake shifted a split second after Leah and took off into the Forest.
Leah stumbled into bed just as the sun crept above the horizon. She was beat. Leah had challenged Jake to a race, wanting to remind him that she was better than him in every way possible, or at least at running. Naturally she won but Jake wasn't too happy about that. He sprung off his haunches and launched himself at Leah. His shear size was no match for Leah, combined with the fact that she did not expect her Alpha to throw himself at her, and she crumpled to the dewy ground. Leah was still, stunned, but only for a moment and then she was wrestling with her Alpha, neither keeping the upper hand for long.
Finally Jake caught Leah off guard with a bite to the neck and she fell to the ground, stunned once again by Jake's actions. Thinking quickly Jake jumped on top of her and pinned her to the ground, growling, 'Guess I won,' he said smugly, using their wolf telepathy.
That's what this was about? Leah just got her ass handed to her because Jake couldn't handle her beating him at a foot race? What the hell?
She tried to shake him off but Leah in any form was no match for his size. Jake pressed deeper against her and inhaled her scent. It took a moment for Leah to realize what was happening but as soon as she did her adrenaline kicked in and she threw Jake off her.
Leah took off in the direction of her mom's place without so much as a glance back.
Now she was fitfully trying to fall asleep. What was going on with them?
Leah switched positions for several more minutes before finally succumbing to sleep.
Minutes later Leah was woken by a soft thump, her heightened senses being able to pick up such a small noise.
Leah groggily sat up and rubbed her tired eyes as she looked towards the figure that interrupted her sleep, "What the hell are you doing here? Didn't you get enough of me?"
Jake ignored her, "We need to talk." Jake didn't wait for Leah's acknowledgement, closed the window he'd climbed through and sat at the end of her bed.
Leah sighed. Why did Jake feel the need to talk about everything? She sat up straight, bracing for impact.
Rather than dive into his perfectly planned speech Jake sat in silence. Leah waited a few beats but quickly grew impatient, "Well? I'd really like to go to sleep so if you have nothing to say then-", she was cut off.
"I came here thinking I'd tell you that everything between us was over and that we needed to move on as adults but...", he trailed off.
"But what?", her brows furrowed tightly, afraid of what was going to come out of his mouth next.
He hesitated, "But now I see you sitting there and all I can think about is taking your clothes off and kissing my way up and down your perfect body."
Leah could not hide the shock, now so evident on her sun-kissed face. Did Jacob Black, her Alpha, the kid she'd known since his birth, really just say he wanted to kiss his way up and down her body? An image of Jake on his knees before Leah, his face buried between her legs, flashed across her mind, leaving her with a warm feeling deep in her belly.
Luckily her better judgement won, "Do you really think after everything that's happened that us sleeping together is a good idea?"
"No, of course it's not a good idea, but I want you. I want to please you until you're a puddle on the bed...or the floor, whichever you choose," he finished with a smirk.
Leah liked this new confident Jacob. It was really sexy.
"Jake, I still don't-" she was once again cut off but this time by Jake's rough lips crushing her softer ones. Leah didn't even try to push him off. If she was being honest with herself Leah wanted this just as much as he did.
The pair quickly became a tangle of limbs, clothes strewn every which way. Their pants and moans filled her small bedroom as they spent the night pleasuring each other.
They would deal with the consequences later, for now all they could think about was each other.
After their marathon sex session Jacob and Leah agreed to keep what conspired between them a secret from the rest of the Pack. It would be difficult to keep the images at bay but everything would become too complicated if everyone knew. They weren't ashamed of what they were doing but they didn't need the Pack throwing in their two cents let alone Sam finding out.
They did not however plan to stop sleeping together. It was the perfect solution to Leah's little problem. Jake had no history of sexual infections, he wasn't going to get her pregnant and she knew that she could trust him to respect her even after he had her bent over, piling driving her from behind.
It was quite the flawless plan...said no one ever.
"Hey Lee, you awake? Mom needs-", Seth came barging into Leah's bedroom, barely giving Leah time to jump off Jake's lap, "Oh, dude, I didn't know you were here." Seth and Jake bro'd out for a minute and then he continued, "What are you doing here?"
"Just going over some Pack business, nothing too crucial." Jake felt pretty proud of himself for coming up with a quick cover.
"Oh cool, for a second I thought maybe you two were banging in here."
Leah's eyes bulged and Jake laughed uncomfortably.
Seth burst out laughing, "Oh man, the look on your faces. Relax guys, I was kidding. I know how much you two despise each other."
Jake tried to stifle his sigh of relief, Leah would never forgive him if he spilled the beans on their little affair.
"Anyways, mom wants you to go to bring Mrs. Flanders some food. Her husband's in the hospital and Mom doesn't want her to worry about feeding the girls."
Leah waved him off, "Fine, whatever. Go away."
Seth huffed, "What's up your ass?"
"Nothing, get out!", Leah ushered her bother out, "And knock next time!"
Jake would have heard Seth's cursing even without his super human hearing, "That was too close."
Leah nodded in agreement, "We can't keep doing this at my place. It's way too risky. My mother is nosey as hell and Seth is a little shit who doesn't understand personal boundaries."
"True. Alright, well I've got to go help Dad with chores but come over later?"
Leah nodded again. She didn't expect Jake to kiss her goodbye, so naturally she taken aback when it happened. Jacob had even managed to shock himself. He said a hasty goodbye and ran off.
'What the hell was that?' Leah had never been more confused in her entire life. She tried to move on and forget about it but the kiss stayed in the back of her mind all day. They were going to have a serious talk later. Awesome.
