Chapter 4: Mine
Jacob's POV
"I love you," I heard her whisper.
Oh god I loved hearing her say that again. "I know you do," I replied.
I watched Bella get lost in her thoughts again. I love it when she does that. It's so much easier for me to stare at her without looking weird. Her eyes were miles away and she chewed on her bottom lip anxiously. She was definitely thinking about something serious. I was about to get really worried when I noticed a sudden spark in her eyes. They all of a sudden looked brighter for whatever reason. Before I could speak, she pressed her lips against mine gently.
"Jacob, I choose you," she said.
I was floored. I definitely wasn't expecting that. What exactly did she mean? Was it possible that she meant what I've been hoping she would say to me? "You… want me and not Edward?" I asked in disbelief.
"Yes. I've never been surer of anything in my life," she whispered fervently.
I still couldn't believe what I was hearing. "You're absolutely sure you want to be with me?" I stuttered.
I saw her eyes searching blindly for my face in the dark. "I want to be with you until both of our hearts stop beating."
A feeling of triumph and pure euphoria sprung up within me after hearing her declaration. I seized her lips with my own and as I kissed her, all the angst, hurt, and feelings of unrequited love that I'd felt for the past several months melted away. Bella wanted me. I felt the animal in me purr with satisfaction. I kissed her hungrily and I could feel the heat radiating from between her thighs. Instinctually, I couldn't help myself but to press into that warmth with my own. We both moaned quietly and I delighted in the fact that Bella was loving this as much as I was. I kissed all over her neck and throat and as I breathed in her amazing scent, an inborn desire to claim what was mine overtook me.
"Bella?" The animal in me pleaded.
Her eyes were closed in ecstasy and she only managed to mumble, "Mmmm?"
I felt myself shaking as I readied myself for my next words. "Will you…be my mate?"
"Yes. Forever…" she whispered.
My inner animal roared with happiness. I kissed her fiercely and the human in me reminded me to be respectful. "You're sure?" I growled in her ear. I heard her consent in her low moan. My next actions were not a conscious thought, they were purely instinctual. I kissed along her neck again trying to distract her from my sudden bite. My teeth gripped her flesh and I tasted the small bit of blood I had drawn. I felt her shudder beneath me and I heard a satisfied moan escape her lips. No wonder those bloodsuckers were nuts over her I thought suddenly. She tastes delicious. Those bloodsuckers had no claim on her anymore. She is mine now I thought ecstatically.
Bella suddenly gasped and I quickly sat up to look at her. The moment I did, I felt everything else I loved about the universe slowly fade away. Only one thing mattered now, my Bella. I suddenly felt like Bella and I were magnets and that she was my sun. My whole universe now revolved around her. Finally, I had imprinted on Bella. I saw her blindly gaze at my face in astonishment.
"Jake?" she whispered. "It happened, didn't it?"
"Yes, Bells. It most certainly did," I grinned.
What happened next, I definitely hadn't anticipated. She sat up as well and launched herself at me. Her arms wrapped around my neck, her lips crashed against mine, and I could feel every inch of her trying to get closer to me. Wanting to close the distance just as much as she did, I gently set her back on the sleeping bag and covered her with my body. Her lips kept moving frantically against mine and I felt her small hands grip parts of my bare back. I pressed myself into her warmth again and heard another quiet moan from her. She brought her arms around to the front and started fumbling with the buttons on her navy blouse. She sighed in frustration and I pressed my lips to hers to silence her displeasure.
"Allow me," I growled devilishly, centimeters away from her face. Her shirt was suddenly ripped in two and on the other side of the tent. Hopefully she isn't too attached to it. She gasped excitedly and met my lips again. I sat up and reluctantly broke us apart after a few moments to take in the sight of her. She was as gorgeous as I had imagined her—and for the past several months, I had spent many nights imagining. My dreams definitely had not done her justice. My eyes trailed from the creamy, ivory flesh at her navel up to her delicate breasts covered by a pale pink bra. I shuddered in excitement and could feel myself getting hard. I finally found her eyes again and saw the self-consciousness that burned in them. Did she really not realize how amazingly beautiful she was?
I bent down to kiss her gently as I spoke, "You… are without a doubt…the most gorgeous woman…I will ever see."
I saw her smile slightly, happy with my praise, but she still seemed uneasy. This is new for both of us I reprimanded myself. It's just more instinctual with me than it is with her. Slow down a bit and let her take control.
I hovered near her face, waiting to see what would happen. I felt her shallow breaths hit my face and I shivered at the cool sensation. After a moment, she raised her lips to meet mine and kissed me once, shyly, and then got bolder once she gauged my eager reaction. She pulled me back down on top of her and I let her explore my mouth with hers. I felt excited spasms shake my body as her tongue made its way into my mouth. It wasn't fair that she tasted so good. The animal in me wanted me to hurry up and take what was now mine, but I caged it up inside me to save for later. Bella needs to enjoy this I reminded myself. And she definitely did seem to be enjoying herself. I heard her breathing quicken as she molded herself around me—her legs wrapped tightly around the backs of my thighs and her arms held on tight to my neck.
Bella's scent was intoxicating as our foreplay intensified. I smelled all of the excitement and arousal coming from her and it only made the animal in me even more agitated. I experimentally placed one hand over her fabric-covered breast to see how she would react and I felt her low moan reverberate in my mouth. I tore my lips away from hers and kissed my way around her neck. "Would you miss this at all?" I whispered in her ear.
She grabbed my hand and placed it on her breastbone. I could feel the plastic clasp and said a silent thank-you to the cosmos that she had worn a front-closing bra. I popped it open with ease and her discarded bra joined the small pile of clothing building on the far side of the tent. When I turned my head back to her, she was already trying to shimmy out of her jeans. I still couldn't believe this was happening. I also couldn't believe that she went ahead and pulled off her panties too. I was suddenly overwhelmed by the aroused scents radiating from her. It made me dizzy with excitement.
Once the remainder of her clothes joined the others, she settled back against the sleeping bag and I was suddenly more awestruck than a blind man who had just seen the sun for the first time. My dreams hadn't prepared me for the sight that awaited me here. My eyes followed from the dark patch between her thighs up to the ivory mounds on her chest and then to the beautiful cheeks, flushed from excitement. I let out a joyous moan and covered her mouth with mine once more.
My hand moved down to her breast and I cupped the soft mound that waited for me. I kneaded it gently and my index finger moved slowly across her nipple. Her breath caught in her throat and I broke us apart to let her breathe. I trailed kisses down the length of her neck and landed between her two creamy mounds. I grabbed one with my hand and covered the other with my lips. I kissed it and traced circles around the nipple with my tongue. I felt Bella shiver and I knew I was doing something right.
As I continued kissing, my free hand left her breast and traced the contours of her body—hugging the side of her chest and going down to her waist and hips. I got a little bolder and moved my hand toward the warmth radiating from between her thighs. My hand covered the warmth and I stroked the moist lips that I felt there. I felt a strong tremor rock through Bella and I broke my lips away from her breast to make sure all was well.
"You alright, Bells?" I asked worriedly.
"Yes…" she sighed. "Whatever you were doing, please don't stop."
"Your wish is my command. I'm your slave for life, remember?" I teased as I kissed her cheeks.
"I didn't know this eternity of servitude would be so amazing for me," she breathed.
I chuckled and kissed my way back down to her breast. I let my hand pick up where we had left off. I rubbed the whole area and was gratified to feel her pressing into my palm. One of my fingers glided between her warm, moist lips and I explored this new area by gently slipping it inside of her.
"Ohhh…." she breathed.
I couldn't believe how wet I had made her. I enjoyed the feeling of my finger slipping in and out of her with ease. Her back arched slightly and I heard her heart pounding in her chest. I broke my mouth away from her breast to watch her reaction as I tried adding another finger to join the first. Bella's eyes were closed in ecstasy and her breathing was pretty ragged from excitement. I quickened the pace of my fingers and heard her moans return. Feeling powerful and extremely turned-on, I bravely added a third finger to stretch her out even more. Her back arched even more and she bucked her hips to drive me deeper into her. She moaned loudly and pulled my face down to hers. She kissed me more deeply and ferociously than she ever had and I positioned myself back on top of her in excitement. I pressed hard into her as she kissed me and I felt her arousal getting my shorts damp. She moaned at the pressure I was exerting on her and I almost took her right then.
Patience! I yelled at myself. We're almost there.
"Jake… I don't know how much longer I can stand this," she panted as though she could read my thoughts.
"Do you think you're ready?" I asked, still out of breath from her kisses.
As an answer to my question, she practically clawed my shorts off of me and I maneuvered them down to my ankles. Thank god it's not convenient for werewolves to wear boxers I thought gratefully. She hesitantly reached out towards my junk and I shivered as her hand wrapped around my shaft. I said a silent thank-you that the alphas in the pack had the biggest…packages. Knowing that was all that kept me from feeling self-conscious. Bella's eyes widened as she felt me and I could see her trying to mentally calculate how I would fit inside her.
I leaned down to kiss her and I gently placed myself in front of her entrance. I let the tip glide down the length of her lips a few times to let some of her excitement get me wetter. I felt her tremble in anticipation as I positioned myself back at her entrance. I pressed in gently just enough to get the tip inside her. She gasped and gripped onto the back of my neck. I pulled out and this time pushed in a tiny bit further.
"Stop teasing me," she pleaded.
"This is your last chance to back out, Bella," I murmured. "Are you absolutely sure you want me?"
"I've never been surer. Please, Jacob. Please…" she moaned.
"This may hurt for a minute," I apologized. The animal in me roared in triumph as I thrust myself into her fully and felt her barrier break. I heard Bella gasp in pain and I quickly pressed my lips to hers to try to distract her from the hurt. I gently licked away the few salty tears that streamed down her cheeks and waited for her to recover.
After a few moments, I felt her shift around experimentally and she returned my prolonged kiss. "I think I'll be ok now, Jake," she breathed.
I started moving slowly inside her, letting her get used to the new sensations. I heard her sharp exhales and brought my lips back to hers. "Is this ok?" I asked her, breaking away for a moment.
"Mmmmm….." she sighed.
I felt I could pick up some speed and quickened my pace. I heard her quiet sighs transform into low moans and they made the animal in me strain at the mental cage I had placed around it. As I thrust into her faster and deeper, I had to really fight for control—I didn't' want to hurt Bella. I heard her sigh and she murmured, "Faster, Jake. Please?"
"I'm not hurting you?" I asked in disbelief.
"Not at all. Faster, please!" she begged.
I needed no more urging than that. I slammed into her, letting my wild side take over. Bella moaned so loudly that I was afraid everyone in the meadow would be able to hear. Everything was so much more heightened now. I could smell all the complex, amazing pheromones coming from Bella and I could hear the blood pounding through her veins and her ragged, excited breathing as I moved inside of her. I felt myself getting closer and closer to my climax with every thrust and I wasn't sure how much longer I could last. Bella's breathing got faster and faster until I thought her heart might give out.
"I'm almost… almost there," she moaned. I picked up my pace just a little bit more until I heard her moans grow even louder. "Jake…" she moaned. I wasn't going to last much longer at all if she kept calling my name. Her leg muscles suddenly tensed and I felt her toes curl as she called out my name once more. I felt her tighten around my shaft and the spasms rocked through me along with a wave of warmth. I thrust into her twice more and I bit the other side of her neck as I exploded inside her.
I rested my head on her chest and we both spent the next several minutes trying to regain control of our lungs. I could see the first rays of the morning sun trying to peek in through the tent and cursed the fact that the night couldn't have lasted longer. Bella ran her fingers through my hair and pulled my face up to meet hers. She kissed me weakly and placed my head on her shoulder. "Jake…" she sighed.
"Mmmm?" I groaned. It was my turn to be at a loss for words.
"Oh, God, Jake. That was… incredible," she breathed.
"You took the words right out of my mouth, Bells."
She chuckled feebly and turned her gaze toward my face. The directness of her stare told me that it was finally bright enough for her to see. "I love you, Jacob Black—more than life itself."
"I love you, Isabella Swan. You're mine now," I smiled blissfully.
She brought her lips down to mine again—this time kissing me with quite a bit more strength.
"Yes. I most certainly am," she returned my exulted grin. "I am yours forever. And you, sir, are mine," she growled playfully in my ear.
I sat up slowly and held her gently in my arms. I cradled her close to my chest and embraced the woman who was now my sole purpose for existing. Every anchor, string, and chain in the universe now tied me to Bella Swan, and I held her tight to me until the tent finally filled with the sun's morning rays.
