I want to thank my pre-reader Mist for making my story pretty. Thank you Mist!

A/N: I'm going to do a little story pimping for my girl LifelessLyndsey. If you haven't read her story 'Through the Window' I really have to wonder why. It is this amazing Sam/Bella story that I have read numerous times. I love, love, love that story. Oh, who am I kidding? I love all her stories, but seriously go read Through the Window, you won't be sorry.

"Sam, do you think Jacob will find us?" I asked as we sat in our room.

He sighed, "It's possible, but you don't have to worry. I'd never let him hurt you."

"I don't want him to hurt you," I murmured.

He stood from the chair he was sitting in and walked over to my bed and sat next to me. Sam grabbed my hand that was closest to him and gave it a gentle squeeze. I looked at him and for the first time, I realized just how good looking he was.

"There is no need to worry about me, Bella," he said as he ran a finger along my wrist.

"If Jacob did something to you, I would never forgive myself," I told him as I slid a little closer to him.

Our thighs touched and I closed my eyes briefly as I tried to stop my train of thoughts. When my eyes opened, Sam had a small smile on his face. I couldn't help but think about how sexy he looked at that moment.

"What are you thinking about?"

"Nothing," I lied and bit my lip to keep from telling him what I had been thinking.

"You are not a very good liar," he chuckled.

I rolled my eyes and leaned my head on his shoulder. If I was going to tell him what my thoughts were, I sure as hell wouldn't be able to do that if I had to see his face. I licked my suddenly dry lips and clenched my hands into fists. Sam released my hand and put his arm around my shoulders.

I took a deep breath and blurted out, "I was thinking you looked sexy."

"You think I'm sexy?"

His voice dropped lower and it did something to my insides. What was going on with me? I could feel myself falling for Sam and things had just ended with Jacob. What the hell was wrong with me? I stood quickly and walked over to the window. I kept my back to him as I thought about what I needed to do.

"Bella, do you remember when I kept staring at you in Jacob's backyard?" Sam questioned me.

"Yes," I answered as I turned around to face him.

"I feel like we belong together," he confessed. "That's why I agreed to come with you. My wolf and I need to be near you."

I stared at him, unsure of what to say. He walked towards me and my breath caught as his hands cupped my face.

"Tell me what you want and I'll give it to you," he vowed.

"I want you," I admitted.

He lowered his head slowly, giving me time to change my mind, but I knew that I wouldn't. I closed my eyes as his lips touched mine and I felt my body melt into his. I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him closer.

His hands slid down my neck to my shoulders and continued their journey until they reached my hips. I sighed when his tongue traced my lower lip and moaned when I got my first taste of him. I felt moisture pool in my panties and a low rumble began in Sam's chest.

He pulled back and rested his forehead against mine as we stared into each other's eyes. I slid my hands from around his neck to his shoulders and down his chest.

"Bella," he breathed my name before he crashed his lips back to mine.

He thrust his tongue into my mouth and lifted me into his arms. I wrapped my legs around his waist and whimpered when his hardened member brushed up against my center. I opened my eyes as he released my mouth and we both sucked in a much needed breath. Sam walked us over to the bed and he sat with me perched in his lap.

"I need to know that you are sure about this. About us," he began. "If you want to be with me, I need to know that you won't go back to Jacob."

I felt tears prick my eyes as I thought about Jacob. He had hurt me so much by walking away from me. Could I take him back? No, I knew that I couldn't. I refused to be with him. He made his decision when he left my room instead of trying to work things out with me. I wanted Sam. My head and my heart were in agreement and I smiled as I realized that I had already made my choice when I asked him to come with me.

"I choose you, Sam. I want to be with you and no I wouldn't take Jacob back," I promised. "I think I knew when I asked you to come with me that I wanted you."

"I'll make you happy and I swear you will never regret your decision to be with me," he assured me.

I giggled and pressed my lips to his. Our passion slowly built to an all consuming fire that blazed through our bodies. Sam pushed my shirt up and I pulled it over my head. His lips attached to my neck and I leaned back granting him access. He growled and jerked away from me. I covered my chest as tears pooled in my eyes.

Sam's eyes snapped to mine and he wrapped his arms around me, holding me close. I tried to calm my breathing and figure out at the same time why he reacted the way he did.

"I'm sorry, Bella. I didn't realize he marked you," Sam told me.

I looked up and met his gaze. "Does that mean you don't want me?"

"What? No, Baby. It just means that he has a claim on you. I don't know if we can break the imprint bond," he admitted.

"You said that the council told you the imprint bond was broken because Emily wouldn't accept you, right?" I questioned.

"Yes," he answered.

"So when I rejected Jacob, wouldn't that have broken the bond?" I wondered.

"I'm not sure since he marked you," he sighed. "You may have to tell him that you reject him and the imprint."

"If that is what it takes to break the bond then I will tell him, but I need you with me when I do. I'm afraid of this Jacob," I reluctantly admitted.

"I don't want you alone with him," he told me.

I thought for a moment and suddenly an idea hit me and I gasped, "What if you mark me?"

"Bella, if I mark you, I am never letting you go," he vowed.

"I don't want you to let me go," I responded.

"I mean forever, Baby."

"So do I," I smiled. "I like you calling me baby."

"I like it too," he chuckled. "I want to do this right," he grinned. "Let's get ready to go out. I'm going to take you on a date."

I laughed and slid off his lap. We quickly changed and left the room holding hands. I was truly happy with my decision and I hoped that when Sam marked me it would completely free me of the bond with Jacob. I didn't want to be bound to him. I didn't want to talk to him either, but I would so I could reject him.

A/N: I bet nobody saw that coming lol. Remember I said not all my characters would get an HEA? Well, I was serious. I had this planned from the very beginning ;)
