Chapter Seven - Bliss

The next morning I opened my eyes Jacob's arms were wrapped around me and I smiled, his light snores were always a comfort to me. I turned to face him and couldn't stop smiling at him. I looked up at the clock on the wall and it was nearly 10 o clock, I guess I was late for school. Strangely enough I didn't feel compelled to get up and go.

I couldn't believe how euphoric I felt, it was the first time I'd felt so completely blissful in my life, more than I had ever felt with Edward and it was Jacob, not Edward, who created this beautiful feeling for me. Edward would had never taken things this far with me he used to get squirrelly about making out and just before things got good he'd stop and mutter something about risking my life enough for one night.

Before last night I had never slept with anyone before and I knew that I had been Jacob's first too. It was... well words can't actually explain how amazing it was.

"Morning," Jacob said, I didn't realize he'd woken, his eyes were still closed but now a huge smile was spread across his face, his arms pulled me closer to him, we held each other close I could feel his hot, bare skin next to mine.

"Morning," I replied

"How are you?" he asked, he opened his eyes now, his face was more serious now, as if he actually needed to know if I was okay

"I'm good," I smiled, he looked like he needed some reassuring though, "Great actually," I added

Jacob smiled, "Good,"

"And you?" I asked

"Do you even have to ask?" he grinned wider, he moved his head closer for a kiss, "I don't think I've ever been happier" he whispered

"I feel the same way," I replied as a whisper too

"Last night, Bella, it was... perfect, now that was the best night I've ever had" Jacob murmured, "I mean I know I've never... done that before but was it okay? For you I mean,"

I smiled, Jacob was worried that he didn't please me, "Jacob," I sighed, "it was perfect, and you were perfect"

Jacob smiled again, "Was it your best night ever?" he asked

This time I didn't need to lie, I smiled, "It was my best night ever,"

He pushed my hair back off the side of my face and kissed me, he lowered his lips onto my throat and continued kissing, I was disappointed when he stopped, he looked up and his face changed, "Crap" he muttered, and threw the duvet off and started pulling clothes on

"What's wrong, Jake?" I asked

"Just stay here, okay?" he said, "I'll take care of it," then he winked at me and left the room, I heard the reason behind Jacob's exit, Billy was home and Jacob must have sensed him coming.

"Good Morning Jacob, not gone to school today?" I heard Billy ask, his voice sounded muffled through the walls but the walls were thin, I could hear everything.

"No," he replied, "Had a late one last night, I'm going back to bed to get some sleep,"

"Okay," Billy replied unconvinced, "And what about Bella? Has she gone to school today?" he asked

"I guess so," Jacob replied nonchalantly

"So um... why is her truck still parked out front?" Billy asked with an amused tone

"I gave her a ride home last night on the back of my bike," Jacob replied quickly, "Her truck broke down, so I told her to keep it here and I'll take a look at it for her,"

"Smooth," Billy said, "Just don't let Charlie find out otherwise he'll castrate you, its lucky Sue dropped me off this morning and not him. Just be careful with her Jacob, she's my best friends daughter, the chief of police's daughter"

"Thanks for the support Dad," Jacob muttered, I heard a lot of moving around before Jacob returned with a tray with two glasses of orange juice and a plate of muffins. "Voila," he announced on entry, "Homemade muffins, made by... well Emily made them yesterday, I just watched," he grinned

"Your dad knows?" I was mortified, not over what Jacob and I had done, I just didn't feel like it should be anyone's business but ours especially when that person is best friends with my dad

"Yeah, sorry about that," Jacob said, "He won't tell Charlie if that's what you're thinking, things are a little bit different in a father, son relationship," he shrugged and balanced the tray on his bedside table and stripped back down to his underwear and climbed back under the sheets with me and passed me my glass of orange juice, I was more thirsty than I thought it didn't take long for me to chug it down. Jacob laughed and put the empty glass back on the tray for me then handed me a muffin and began munching on his own.

We spent the best part of the morning in bed just talking about everything, we excluded talk about wolves and vampires, we just talked more about ourselves getting to know each other better, it wasn't a surprise to me that Jacob knew me so well already, I felt a little guilty for not taking as much notice in him but he didn't seem to mind, he enjoyed talking to me.

It was when Billy knocked on the door pretending not to know I was there and told Jacob that he was going out, that reminded me I had to get back to reality, after he left I used the shower and got dressed and met Jacob in the kitchen who was making us sandwiches for lunch he'd just plated the sandwiches up when he groaned and looked at me apologetically, the front door burst open and Quil and Embry had let themselves in.

"Oh PB and J, thanks Jake," Quil said stealing a sandwich from his plate, "Hey Bella," he smiled at me,

"Hey," I replied,

"I wanted to apologize for the other day," he said, "I'm sorry about that,"

"Don't worry about it you couldn't help it, I understand," I told him,

"I know but I could have hurt you, Bella, I'm glad something knocked me out the way," he said, "And I also wanted to thank you, I know you were trying to help me," he smiled

"Are you settling into it okay?" I asked him

He nodded, "Yes! I love it," I noticed Jacob and Embry roll their eyes, "Best thing is finally knowing the big secret and getting to hang with my boys again," he smiled

"We tried to get rid of him," Embry said, "It's just the freak keeps following, he's just a charity case"

"Call, you are so not funny!" Quil threw a butter knife at his head but Embry caught it barely inches away from his face,

"Don't try to play a player!" he smirked

"What does that even mean?" Jacob laughed, Quil and I joined in

Embry just shrugged "So, you guys ditching school today?" he grinned at us

"And you two aren't?" Jacob countered

"Hey, we were on duty last night covering for your sorry ass," Quil replied, "we're tired from being up all night, so why are you two so tired?" he grinned at us, my face must have burned a dark red because both Quil and Embry laughed

"Knock it off, guys," Jacob warned them

"Okay, we'll find out as soon as Jacob phases anyway," Quil wriggled his eyebrows at me and I cringed

Jacob lowered his head and spoke into my ear, "I'll do my best not to think of it when I'm phased" he promised me and then kissed my cheek, he made me feel light headed now whenever he touched me, I was still reeling from the fact that I was no longer a virgin and Jacob and I slept together last night.

"Anything to report from last night?" Jacob said interrupting my thoughts

"What?" I asked shocked

The boys held back laughter, "I'm talking to these two," Jacob grinned, "asking about their patrol,"

"Oh," I mumbled

"Unless you do have something to report?" Quil asked

"No," I snapped

Quil and Embry started laughing again.

"Okay guys, can it," Jacob said, "Serious time now, anything I need to know?"

"No sign of our visitors if that's what you mean," Embry replied, "Not Red nor our mystery male," I didn't miss the meaningful glance he shot at Jacob, what was that about?

"Well if he had any sense he was just passing through but as for Victoria," he spat the name, "she'll be back, count on it,"
"And we'll be ready," Quil added

Jacob must have seen the look on my face, the thought of Victoria chilled me to the bone, why was she still after me? Edward and I were long over, she must have concluded that by now, regardless she scared me and I hoped the pack were able to protect themselves and not put themselves in danger for my sake, "Bella, stop worrying so much," Jacob ran his fingers through my hair, "We'll be okay, it's what we were made to do,"

"I know, but I've seen vampires in action before, they're so strong Jacob, I'm just scared for you all, and she's here because of me, if anything happened to any of you..." Jacob pinched my lips together lightly to shut me up.

"Nothing is going to happen to us, she is 1 vampire, we are 6 wolves, we can handle it, she just values her life too much, the second we get close she runs away, eventually we'll get her and we'll destroy her,"
