*** I still own nada. ***
NOW WHAT?
I was sitting on Jake's bed watching him pace. I didn't know what to say or do. I was worried about this new turn of events, but I was no where near as concerned as the handsome man frantically trying to figure out our next mood. I couldn't help but to think about how absolutely attractive he was when he was this deep in thought. I started to let my mind wander a bit until Jake stopped dead in his tracks. My whole body tensed as I tried to figure out how much worse things could get at the moment. Before I had time to even blink he had grabbed my hand and was pulling me down the stairs.
"The pack's here. We'll figure this all out Bella, I promise." He said determination strong in his deep voice. We made is down stairs and everyone situated themselves in the living room. Jake was in the arm chair and I was on his lap while Quil, Embry, and Paul sat on the couch. Jared and Seth were sitting on the floor, Leah was leaning up against the wall next to the couch and Sam was standing in front of us with the most serious look I had ever seen. Seeing all of them squished into Billy's tiny living room was almost comical, like a bunch of clowns cramming themselves into a tiny wind up car.
"First things first, I think Bella should stay in La Push until we're sure what's going on and we have everything under control." Sam said as he looked over to me and Jake for agreement. Jake nodded; he probably wasn't going to let me out of his site whether Sam said something or not.
"What about Charlie?" I asked, knowing my father probably wouldn't be to keen on the idea of me staying here for an extended period of time. I knew he would mind a night or two, but I had no idea how long they were planning on keeping me under lock and key.
"Billy will handle it honey." Jake said as he looked into my eyes reassuringly. "If everything works out how I hope, you won't be held hostage here too long." I loved how much Jake understood me. He knew it wasn't that I didn't want to temporarily move in with him, because the idea appealed to me very much. I just didn't care for the circumstances surrounding the decision. I knew I was going to get any time to my self until this was handled and that drove me nuts, especially considering I just got out or a controlling relationship and Jake was well aware of that fact. I knew he would make it as easy on me as he could while still keeping me well protected. That fact alone helped to calm me down quite a bit. I loved him so much.
"Before we can really make a game plan on what to do, we're going to have to meet with them." Sam said while everyone in the room cringed a little.
"So when is this little get together going to take place then?" Embry asked as he kicked back and threw his feat up onto the coffee table. Probably trying to show just how unafraid of the Cullens he was.
"Sooner would definitely be better than later." Sam replied. "So I'm going to say tomorrow."
"Why not now?" Quil asked curiously.
"Yeah, why don't we just take care of the damn bloodsuckers tonight?" Paul echoed, sounding annoyed.
"Because Jake needs time to deal with Charlie and talk to Billy. I also want to talk to Emily, so that when we're all talking with the Cullens someone can stay with Bella and keep her calm." Sam said while giving a stern look, very much playing the part of the Alpha. "Alright, now that that's all settled we'll leave you two to deal with Billy and Charlie." Sam nodded and headed towards the door; he paused and looked back at us smiling. "And congratulations on imprinting Jake." I looked up at Jake slightly confused and found him staring daggers at Quil. Quil just smile sheepishly and slowly started to get up and head for the door.
"I couldn't help it man, I was just so happy for you." He ran out the door. I noticed everyone else getting up and trying to sneak out as not to incur the wrath of Jake. Embry, however, did not sneak out like a puppy with their tails between their legs. He walked right up to Jake and smiled.
"Don't go too hard on the kid. We really are all just happy for you and for ourselves. Now we won't have to listen to you whine about Bella anymore." He smiled even bigger, knowing he was fully taunting Jake. I couldn't help myself as I started giggling. Jake looked down at me his jaw dropped to the floor. My reaction combined with Jake's was just too much for poor Embry to handle. He fell over on the floor and busted up laughing. "Oh. My. God." He said in between breaths. "You should have seen your face!" He screamed laughing even harder. Jake finally relaxed and laughed a little himself. Embry finally got off the floor and wiped the tears from his eyes. "So, you not mad anymore than?" He asked seeming a little relieved.
"No, but you're all still dead." Jake said with a scheming smile. Embry froze and ran out the door calling out a goodbye to both of us. I blinked and stared for a second. He ran out of here even faster than Quil did. I turned to Jake and looked up at him curiously. He looked back and smiled, but I could see and hint of worry hidden behind those beautiful black eyes of his.
"You imprinted?" I asked. He nodded his head. "On me?" The pitch of my voice rose a little higher. He looked shocked for only a second before he started laughing.
"Of course you. Who else?" He asked still chuckling lightly before I saw the worry started to come back. I took away all his doubt and worry with a very heated, but loving kiss. He wrapped his arms around me even tighter as I slid my hands up his back to entangle my fingers in his hair. I licked his lips and he opened his mouth eagerly. We explored each others mouths and time seemed to stand still until we heard a cough come from behind us. I jumped and pulled away looking to where it came from. My dad and Billy were both sitting there with huge smiles plastered onto their faces.
"Well, it's about time!" Billy screamed enthusiastically. I blushed and tried to slide myself off of Jake's lap. He held me there securely, refusing to let me go. I sighed and rested my head against Jake's chest. He kissed the top of my head.
"So, what's for dinner?" Charlie asked happily as he wheeled Billy over to the TV and turned it on to the game.
"Oh." I had completely forgotten about dinner. I jumped out of Jake's lap this time he willing let me go, knowing there would be food in the future. I rushed into the kitchen and started looking around for something to cook. All they had was fish and potatoes, so I guess that's what we were having. I found some marinade and put in on the fish as I began cutting potatoes into the shape of fries.
I felt two strong, warm arms snake around my waist while I was working. I leaned back into him and smiled. He started kissing my neck softly as I melted into his arms like butter. His touch felt so amazing, nothing like Edward. He sent electric shock waves all throughout my body. I couldn't help but to moan softly as he kissed and licked my neck.
"Hey there beautiful." He whispered huskily into my ear. I almost climaxed right there. He had such power over me, it was astonishing. "What is my sexy Bella making for me?" He asked still using that deep, husky voice that made my knees weak.
"Well, it's not just for you, you know." I said trying to sound a little sexy myself. He turned me around so he could look deep into my eyes. He looked at me like he was about to take me right then and there, in Billy's kitchen with him and my dad just one room away. My voice caught in my throat as I tried to steady my breathing. God, this couldn't be normal. The way he made me feel was incredible. I knew at that moment I couldn't live without this man in my life and he had imprinted on me, which meant he couldn't live without me either. My heart soared and I couldn't take it anymore. I smashed my lips against him in a fit of undeniable passion.
"Bella! When do you think dinner will be done?" I heard Charlie call and immediately jumped away from Jake.
"Umm…" I was trying to make my brain work. All I could think about was Jake. "Gimme a half an hour." I yelled back into the living room. I let out a breath I hadn't realized I'd been holding as Jake looked at me smirking a bit. He knew the affect he had on me and he loved it. I turned around and tried to focus on dinner. "Shouldn't you be explaining to Charlie about me staying here for awhile?"
"I already did honey." He said sounding accomplished. I smiled a little as I finished with the potatoes and put them and the fish into the oven, which I had forgot to turn on.
"Great." I whispered more to myself as I turned the oven on to 350. I heard Jake chuckle a little.
"Did I distract you a little too much?" I glared at him while he flashed me a cocky smile.
"What did you tell Charlie?" I asked trying to change the subject.
"The truth."
"What?!?" I looked at him like he was crazy.
"Well, not the whole truth." He replied as he sat down at the table and pulled me into his lap. I looked at him, waiting for him to further explain to me. "Well, I told him the Cullens were back. He started getting really pissed and I asked if you could stay up here awhile so I could have a chance to talk to Edward. He agreed pretty quickly and even asked him to let him have it extra hard just for him." Jake gave me a huge reassuring smile.
"I don't want anyone to fight." I said as I looked into his eyes. His smile faded as he saw how scared I was. I didn't want him or any of the pack to get hurt because of me.
"We won't fight unless it's absolutely necessary, okay Bells?" He stroked my hair and pulled me into his chest. I hugged him tightly. "Don't worry baby. I'll take care of everything." He whispered to me reassuringly. I sniffled a little, trying to hold back tears as snuggled even further into him. If I got any closer to him I would be hanging out with his organs. I sighed and pulled away so I could get back to dinner. "Do you want any help honey?" Jake asked.
"No, it's all done. We just need to wait for it. I'm just going to clean up a little." I replied as I grabbed a damp cloth and started wiping down the counters.
"Well, just cause I'm a man doesn't mean I can't clean." He chuckled a little. "You don't have to be Donna Read." I was about to make a snide comeback when the buzzer on the oven went off.
"Saved by the bell." I glared at him. He smiled slyly and went to pull the food out of the oven for me. I couldn't help but smile a little; he was so good to me. "Dinner boys!" I hollered out into the living room over the game on the TV.
"Smells good Bells." Charlie said while he wheeled Billy into the kitchen.
"Thanks dad." I smiled and sat down. We ate dinner in a comfortable silence, the TV still on in the background. We finished up and I started to clear the table.
Well, I better get going." Charlie said while grabbing his coat. He paused for a minute; I looked over to him a little confused and worried. "I sure am going to miss your cooking Bells." My dad said, dropping a very large hint that Jake and Billy clearly noticed, because they started laughing a little. I sighed and smiled.
"I'm sure Billy and Jake wouldn't mind you joining us for dinner anytime you want." I said looking over at Billy and Jake for confirmation.
"Of course we wouldn't Charlie. You're welcome here every night; after all we are stealing your personal chef." Billy chuckled lightly. Jake smiled and wheeled his dad back into the living room to allow me to say goodbye to my dad, even though I wouldn't be missing him too much. I knew he would take the offer of dinner every night here without hesitation. We hugged awkwardly and he told me to make smart choices, which almost made me bust out laughing. He must have been really concerned that Edward was back. He never liked Edward, however he loved Jacob. I knew Charlie looked at him as the son he never had. I smiled and told him I would. I watched him drive away and closed the door, when I felt Jake's arms snake around my waist.
"We should get some sleep." He whispered huskily into my ear. I shivered as I felt his hot breath on my neck. All I could manage was to nod my head yes. He picked me up bridal style and carried me up the stairs to his bed room.
"Behave up there, you two!" Billy called from the living room. "Or at least keep it down." He added knowingly. I blushed bright red and Jake chuckled. He laid me down gently on the bed and started taking off his pants.
"Wh-what are you doing?" I stuttered out unable to hide the nervousness in my voice. He smirked at me as he through his pants across the room. He walked over and pulled out a large t-shirt. He held it out for me to take and I looked at him somewhat confused and still blushing like a mad woman. I knew the shirt was for me to sleep in, but he had completely ignored my question, not to mention him being almost completely naked was turning my mind and body into mush.
"Relax honey; you know how hot I am. I just want to be comfortable." He said seductively while still holding the shirt out for me. I finally managed to take it from him. I slowly stood up and he turned around giving me my privacy. At least as much of a flirt he was, he was still a gentleman. I quickly stripped and pulled the huge t-shirt over my head. It was like an oversized dress; it came down to just about my knees and swallowed my tiny frame completely.
"Kay, you can turn around." I said unable to keep my eyes off his back side. He turned around and smiled at me as he wrapped his arms around me.
"I like this." He said as he kissed me on my forehead lovingly.
"Like what?" I had a pretty good idea what he was talking about, but I wanted to here it.
"You here, in my room, about to spend the night, wearing only my shirt." He said with another seductive smirk. I blushed again as I looked up at him, licking my lips. He laid me down on the bed and laid next to me wrapping him arm around me protectively.
"We don't have to do anything you're not ready for, okay bells? We could just sleep."
"I know." I replied and kissed him passionately. He kissed me back hungrily, parting my lips and sliding his warm tongue into my mouth. I felt his hands sliding up and down my body, touching every part of me. I moaned softly, his touch was the most amazing thing I've ever felt. So warm and sensual, his touched warmed me from the inside out. He rolled on top of me slipping his knee in between my legs. I started kissing him more passionately as my hand roamed all over his hard, steaming hot body. Everything felt so right, so natural. How could I have missed this? How much I belonged with Jake? He was perfect for me, I was perfect for him, and we were perfect together. I was Jake's and I knew it for sure now. I would never leave him.
I pressed my lips as tightly against his as I could, doing the same with my body. I was ready to be his, completely. I felt him rub his leg up against my hot core and moaned in pleasure. He stopped abruptly and moved away from me. I held desperately to him not wanting to lose all the heat he had built up into my body.
"Why are you stopping?" I asked self-consciously. "Did I do something wrong?"
"Oh god no sweetie, you're amazing, but we can't do this here now." He said as he swept my hair out of my face.
"Why not? I'm ready. I want this Jake. I want it more than anything." I know I sounded desperate, but what can I say? I was.
"I'm so glad to hear that baby." He said smiling brightly as he looked at my with lust filled eyes. I kissed him roughly and he kissed back then pulled away again. I know he could see the confusion in my eyes. "Billy." Jake stated simply. Now I understood, I had completely forgotten that Billy was right down stairs. I sighed and snuggled up to him, disappointed. I wanted this so bad, it wasn't fair. I had finally come to my senses and now we couldn't do anything about it.
"Well, he said as long as we're quiet right? We can be quiet." I said looking at him hopefully.
"We could, but I want to make you scream." He whispered into my ear in the most seductive voice I had ever heard him use. I literally had an orgasm just from him saying that and the thoughts that followed. I moaned in pleasure and I knew he knew I had climaxed. He pulled me closer and chuckled. "My affect on you is really that strong?" He asked already knowing the answer.
