Jeremy's point of view:

The weeks went by and I found myself spending more time at work or at home alone. I couldn't explain it but I didn't feel like going out much anymore for a social life other than to spend time with the guys from work or to find girls to sate my lust. I ended up slipping into a depression. The only place I felt better was when I was at work so I started to throw myself into working long hard days. I worked long hours and often left for home feeling exhausted.

One day after work I went into the backroom to get changed, I was going to meet Sam for dinner. Sam and I met once a week for dinner or lunch, she said I didn't get out enough. I stepped out of the bathroom and stopped in my tracks. Leah was there working on a car. Lately she had started working late too, for reasons I didn't care to find out. She and I hadn't really talked other than a few times for work related reasons. She still treated me as cold as she did before.

I looked at her as she as she bent over a car. She had changed clothes from our usual work wear of pants and a blue shirt into short shorts and a tank top. I looked at her long lean legs, they were the most amazing legs I had ever seen. I tried to force myself to move but I just watched her as she worked on the car, I couldn't take my eyes off of her. Leah sensed me behind her and she turned to look at me. She gave me a view of the front of her and checked out that view of her.

It was strange I usually liked girls with less muscle who were curvier than Leah was but I don't think I found someone who was sexier than her.

"Do you need anything," she said folding her arms across her chest, which I head to tear my eyes away from.

"No," I said irritated, "just enjoying the view."

I didn't know what made me say it, for some reason I wanted to get under her skin.

"Oh trust me if I knew someone was still here I wouldn't have bothered in changing," she huffed.

"I don't mind," I said grinning at her, "maybe I like being the only one to see you like this."

I didn't know where I got off saying these things to her maybe it was just something stupid that I had been holding in from sexual frustration I had.

"By all means I'll dress this way more often then," she said sarcastically turning back to work on the car giving me another great view, which was something that I didn't want to get out of my mind anytime soon.

"I'll look forward to it babe," I said giving her a cocky smile that she didn't see.

I left the shop in a hurry after that, I didn't want Leah to yell at me after that. The ride over to our diner was quick and I had smile on my face the whole time. Sam and I sat in our usual booth and we small talk but I couldn't get Leah out of my mind. Seeing her like that was driving me nuts.

"Jeremy are you listening to me," Sam asked me.

"Oh I'm sorry," I said looking sheepishly at my sister.

"What's on your mind brother?" she asked taking a sip of water.

"Oh just something at work," I said honestly.

"Alright," she said giving me a strange look.

"So what were you saying," I said not wanting her to know what I was thinking.

"I found out yesterday that I'm pregnant," she said smiling at me.

"Wow really?" I asked looking at her surprised, "I didn't know you two wanted kids this soon."

"Yeah we decided to start trying after we got married," she said smiling, "I went to the doctor this morning and I didn't want to tell anyone until I went and talked to her."

"So everything is alright?" I asked.

"Everything is going fine," she said, "I'm about six weeks."

"I'm glad for you Sam," I said giving her a genuine smile.

"Thank you brother," she said smiling back, "or I could call you uncle now."

I rolled my eyes at my sister and we continued to talk.

I pulled her lean body against mine. Finally I thought. I had wanted to do that all day but I hadn't gotten a chance with all of her brothers around. I heard her moan as our lips crushed together and I could tell she wanted this too.

"I missed you so much babe," I muttered against her lips.

"Missed you too," Leah said her hands roaming against my body.

I walked us back until we she was leaning against a car.

"Baby we have to stop," she said between kisses, "my…brothers…"

"I don't care if they see," I said my lips trailing her jaw and to her neck, "I never want to stop."

I sat straight up in bed. This was the fourth time I had a dream like that and it was making me crazy. I mean this woman had been ice cold to me and now ever since she had worn that outfit that one day after work she had been driving me crazy. It didn't make any sense, the women made it clear by how she treated me at work that she didn't want anything to do with me but I couldn't keep my mind off of her.

The next day at work I tried to ignore her as she worked but my mind went to my dreams the outfit I had seen her wear. I felt bad though, the guys at work were my close friends and I didn't want them noticing me checking their sister out.

"Dude," I heard a voice behind me which caused me to jump

"What?" I asked looking at Embry who was behind me.

"Stop checking out my sister," he said.

"Didn't you knock my sister up," I said raising an eyebrow.

"She's my wife at least," he said rolling his eyes at me before going serious, "Seriously though?"

"I know I'm sorry," I said throwing my hands up, "I just can't help it."

"I know man," he said giving me a pat on the back, "She'll come around."

"Right," I said snorting, "She hates me."

"Leah is stubborn but she'll come around," Embry said.

"Thanks man," I said blowing out a breath that I didn't know I had.

That day I stayed late like I always did. That day Leah stayed late too and we worked in silence. I looked at her and I hoped she didn't notice. A part of me wanted to say something, anything, to work on the same car as her just so I could talk to her. I wanted to get to know this woman so bad but I wasn't sure how. I stood and pushed some of my hair away from my forehead. I went into the work room and bought a bottle of water.

On a whim I bought another bottle. I took a deep breath as I went towards Leah.

"Here you go," I said quietly.

I held the bottle towards he and she looked up at me in shock.

"Thank you," Leah said.

She reached out and took the bottle from my hand. Her fingers briefly touched my palm and I felt a shot of electricity shoot through me.

"You're welcome," I said smiling at her.

She turned her back on me and got back to work. I went back to work on my own car grateful for the distraction from Leah. As I left that night I noticed that she hadn't touched her water, it sat unopened near the car she was working on. I didn't know why but the fact that she didn't drink it stung. I went home feeling frustrated by her actions. I knew I would try to get to her but I wasn't sure how.

Leah's point of view:

Things were starting to change and it freaked me out. I could tell that this stupid imprint was somehow forcing us to spend more time together. I didn't want him, I didn't want this stupid magical bond to force us to fall in love. I thought that everything was going great. I had been here months and I could live and around my imprint without having to be involved with him.

Then there was one moment though, I shuddered to think about, where he looked at me in interest when I had changed into something more comfortable when the rest of the guys left for home. I worked on the car and I was so focused on my work that I didn't notice he was in the room. When I turned though I caught the way he was looking at me. The conversation we had sent me reeling though. I felt a warmth shoot through me when he called me babe.

I quickly ignored that though, I couldn't submit to the imprint. I had to find love on my own and I wouldn't allow him to get under my skin.

The next day where he brought me a bottle of water and I was irritated by it; normally I would have been grateful since it was a long day, I worked hard, and I didn't have much to drink. But I didn't want his help or him to take care of me. I took the water without word, and even though I wanted to I didn't drink it. I knew if I did I would be letting the curse win.

Let me know what you think of the dialogue in this chapter, too cheesy? I wanted to have a little bit of Leah's point of view in there but the next chapter will have more from Leah's point of view.
