Fifty Shades
Chapter Seven
Bella relaxed as the car Jacob was driving came to a stop in the parking spot in front of her apartment. Though the time they had spent together was nice, it had been tense since Seth's unexpected visit. They hadn't said much since then.
"Are you mad?" His voice was so low, she almost missed what he had said. Turning her head to him, she saw the perplexed look on his face as he stared at the steering wheel.
"Why would I be mad?" She threw her own question at him and he groaned, still refusing to look at her.
"Because Seth saw you at my house with me." His voice had an edge of irritation to it and this just befuddled her.
"I don't understand. Why would I get mad about that? It's not like you knew he was coming over. Even if you did, it's not something to get mad about." She watched his Adam's apple bob once before he let out a shaky breath.
"Then, why did you seem upset when you saw him there?" She turned to him and gently grabbed his hand. His eyes instantly snapped to hers, a warning in his eyes. His eyes were much darker and had a hint of anger in them.
"I wasn't upset. I was...embarrassed, but not upset. My brother walked into your house right after we had been doing some sexual things and the whole house smelled like it. Not to mention that this happened the day after I lost my virginity. It was a little embarrassing, but I'm not mad about it." His eyes softened, his rigid body relaxed, and a small smile pulled at his lips. His arm slipped around her waist and he pressed his forehead to hers affectionately.
"I didn't know Seth was going to be coming over, honey." She nodded as she rubbed his denim covered thighs. She basked in the affection he was showing her.
Though he didn't like her touching him, he made up for it with the other ways he showed his feelings for her. He was still very affectionate and it warmed her soul.
"I know." She whispered sweetly.
"I thought you might be upset because he caught you there with me." Her eyes widened before she pulled back. She was baffled.
"Did you think I was embarrassed of you?" He shrugged, unsure. "No, Jake." She found she liked this nickname. She loved the name Jacob, but Jake was so much smoother and fit him even better. "This whole BDSM thing is a little...strange and confusing, but I'm not embarrassed of you. I couldn't be. I like you. I really do." He smirked before sweetly kissing her.
"Same to you, honey."
"Then, why did you look embarrassed when Seth was there?" She got up the nerves to ask since they were already on the topic. She didn't want to bring up the topic, but since he did, they might as well have this all talked out before she exited the vehicle.
"I was only embarrassed because I know if it was my sister I found in some old friend of mines house, I would have probably beat him to a pulp. I was expecting more than Seth did and I was embarrassed about what he thought was going on. I know Seth. I know he thinks that it was just some one nighter when it is far from that." She nodded as he cupped her cheek. "I would have told him otherwise, but I wanted to save you the embarrassment of trying to explain what we are at the drop of a hat." She was grateful for the consideration and she sweetly kissed him, her gripping tightening slightly on his leg. A soft moan left his lips before she took back her mouth, blushing profusely.
"What am I supposed to tell people that we are? I haven't even signed the contract and it's not like I can walk up to my roommate and say 'guess what, I'm a Sub now'." Jacob snickered from how funny that kind of conversation would be.
"You can just say I am your boyfriend now. It will arouse less suspicion than anything else." His forehead pressed back to hers and she could feel the intense affection radiating from him as his hand clutched hers, his fingers intermingling with hers. "After some time, if you haven't signed the contract, we will have to stop this, though. I'm not a flowers and hearts kind of guy. This is all I am, all I can offer you." Her heart clenched at this. She knew he wasn't, but that didn't mean she didn't want him to be.
Before he even showed her his playroom, she was already caught in his web. She couldn't run off and forget that she ever met Jacob Black, but she was still struggling with the contract and what it could all mean. If she signed it, she would be agreeing to all of it when all she really wanted was him.
"I know."
"I want us to work. I want to be with you. I want to be yours and for you to be all mine." That was the most perfect thing he could possibly say to her at that moment. It warmed her heart.
"So do I."
"Then, why haven't you signed it yet? If the situation was reversed, I wouldn't hesitate. As soon as you said, if I signed this contract, we could be together, I would have signed it without even reading it." Her heart raced in response.
You like me that much? Wow. "I guess I just need to do some research on it." He nodded in understanding before releasing her hand. Both of them climbed out of the car and he walked around the car before taking her hand back.
"The next time I see you, I will need you to sign a non-disclosure agreement about all this." She nodded with a sigh.
"I wouldn't say anything about what is really going on, anyways. It's not like I would know what to say. That is a talk I would never be comfortable having with someone other than you." He chortled lightheartedly before they strolled up the steps to her apartment door.
"It's for legal purposes to protect myself. I do trust you, but it's just something that needs to be done, whether you sign the contract or not." She bit her lip subconsciously and nodded before his hand came up, his thumb rubbing across her bottom lip. "You know what that does to me." She softly moaned and nodded. His lips met hers for a quick, unsatisfying kiss. She wanted one of his wild kisses, but she knew why he didn't give her one. They were in public.
"Do you want to come in?" He smirked and his arms surrounded her waist affectionately.
"I would like to and for the same reason you want me to, but I need to go." She nodded as her apartment door opened. She looked to see Angela, only in a very long night shirt, and surprisingly Embry.
"Embry?" She questioned, surprised, and both smirked appreciatively.
"Afternoon, Miss Thang." Bella's jaw dropped as Embry smirked politely.
"Hey, Bella, Jake." She was surprised that Embry was doing the first name thing with Jake, but since he was in jeans and a t-shirt, he was probably off duty. It was the weekend after all.
"Hey, man." It seemed like Jacob suddenly changed demeanor, almost like he became a different person. His voice even changed once he spoke to Embry.
"You must be Jacob? It's nice to meet you." Angela extended her hand to Jacob and he quickly took it, a kind smile on his face.
"Likewise. You must be Angela, the roommate who questioned my sexual orientation." Jacob teased and Bella's jaw slacked before Angela snickered.
"Sorry, had to ask. When I wrote those, I wasn't exactly expecting you to show interested in Miss Thang here." Angela nodded her head towards Bella who blushed.
"Yeah, she's pretty amazing." Bella squeezed his hand before smirking at him. "Well, I need to get going. You want a ride, Em?" Embry showed off the biggest smile that Bella had seen on him.
"Definitely." He turned to Angela and kissed her sweetly. "See you later, babe." While Embry was saying his goodbyes to Angela, Jake placed his hand affectionately to Bella's flushed cheek and pressed his forehead to hers.
"I'll talk to you later?" He questioned and she nodded before squeezing his free hand.
"Yeah." She whispered softly and he gave her such a sweet, innocent kiss. Her heart pounded uncontrollably from how wonderful it was. She never expected him to kiss her like this in public, let alone in front of her roommate and his driver. He tried to say he wasn't the romantic type, but this kiss contradicted that.
Slowly, he released it and she stared into those gorgeous eyes of his.
"Bella." He breathed her name and she smirked before repeating the motion.
"Jake." He grinned at her before kissing her forehead.
"Let's go, Em." Bella blushed as both men walked down the steps, quietly talking to each other before pushing each other's shoulders playfully.
Bella walked into the apartment as Angela snickered.
"So, how did you go from 'Miss Swan' to 'Bella'?" She hadn't realized he had actually called her by her first name until that moment and she smiled.
"He said my name!" She cheered and jumped up and down, but once she did that once, she had a strong pain in her core. She groaned and Angela looked worried before Bella put up her finger. "Give me a minute." She walked to the kitchen, grabbed a bag of veggies from the freezer before going to the couch. Angela watched with amusement as Bella placed the bag under her ass before sitting on the couch. "Fuck, that is cold!" Angela giggled before sitting next to her friend.
"He rocked your fucking world, didn't he?" Bella nodded with an aroused smirk and surprised eyes.
"You can say that again. Holy Jesus!" Angela threw her head back in laughter before Bella took a deep breath. "I had no idea sex would be that good."
"How many times did you go at it?" Bella rolled her eyes at this. She knew Angela would give her the whole twenty questions, but she figured they would be more about the actual act and not about how many times they did it.
"I lost track at seven." Angela's jaw dropped before she chortled loudly.
"Seven? Hot damn! That man sure has stamina!" Bella nodded amused before biting her lip.
"You are preaching to the choir here. I got to see first hand how much stamina that man has." Angela nodded as Bella hissed from the freezing sensation on her thighs from that frozen bag under her. "I was worried that he wouldn't know what he was doing, but I was completely wrong about that. It was above and beyond the call of duty. After the first time, I was like…" Bella laid against the couch and stretched her arms above her head, giggling. "'Just take me.'" Angela was highly amused by Bella's reaction to her first sexual encounter.
"I am not surprised." Bella rolled her eyes.
"It's not like you've had sex with that man." Angela shook her head.
"I don't need to. Let me guess here." Bella looked to her friend who had a mischievous grin on her face. "He tied you up, was a little rough with you, and bossed you around a little?" Bella's jaw dropped before she covered her face.
"How…"
"Bella, a lot of men are demanding and dominating in the sack. For example, Embry and I hooked up, obviously." Bella rolled her eyes. It wasn't hard to guess with how Angela's hair was in disarray and Embry's clothes were disheveled along with his hair when Bella got there. "I will tell you. That man was pulling my hair, smacking my ass, riding me like a bitch in heat, and he had my hands restrained behind my back." Bella flushed. Though she had just had her world rocked by Jacob Black, it was embarrassing to listen to Angela tell a tale about her sexual conquest with Embry. "It's freeing to be with a man that is dominating and to submit to their desires. A lot of men prefer a woman who will let them do what they want to them and let them have control. You can usually tell by looking at them which men are like that." Bella nodded before biting her lip. "Tell me, did it hurt, the first time?" Bella cocked her head with bewilderment.
"Isn't it supposed to hurt?" Angela shrugged.
"Depends. Some women it doesn't hurt. I was expecting it to hurt when my cherry was popped, but it didn't." Bella nodded.
"It did hurt, a lot. I mean, Jake is...overwhelming in size." Angela rolled her eyes.
"So was Embry." Bella really didn't want to know that piece of information.
"What the hell are they feeding them on that reservation?" Bella teased her friend who looked perplexed by this question.
"Reservation?"
"Yeah, Jake, Embry, and Quil are from La Push. I thought you knew that?" Angela shrugged.
"I knew Jacob was, but not his drivers. Isn't that a huge coincidence?" Bella shook her head.
"No, they were friends growing up. Jake said Quil and Embry were his best friends. Since they already knew so much about him, he hired them. That way he could still spend time with them even with his hectic schedule." She left out the fact that both men knew about Jacob's relationships and she sat down her bag, the manilla envelope holding the sex contract falling out of her bag.
"Oh, what's this?" Angela went to pick it up and Bella quickly snatched it, holding it to her chest.
"No!" Angela was taken by surprise from Bella's panic and Bella knew she couldn't use school as an excuse because they hadn't even gone to orientation yet. "Sorry. It's just a private gift from Jake." Angela had a devious gleam in her eye and quickly snatched it from Bella's hand before running across the room. "Ang, no!" Bella panicked. Jake would freak out if she told him that Angela read the contract. Not only was Angela her roommate and the woman Embry hooked up with, but also the journalist that was doing an article on Jacob.
If she put in her article about his Dom relationships, his reputation would be ruined.
Bella tried to run after Angela, but it was more of a hobble.
"You are never secretive so I need to know!" Angela teased her before opening up the envelope.
"Please, Angela, no!" Angela stopped and pulled out the stapled papers, reading it out loud.
"The following are the binding terms of a contract between Dominant… Jacob Black, and Submissive… Isabella Swan." Angela gasped loudly as Bella nervously gripped her hair, lightly tugging the roots. "Holy fuck." She looked up to her friend before her eyes narrowed. "What the fuck is this, Bella!" Her lips tightened into a line before she attempted to snatch back the contract.
"Give it back!" She demanded and Angela shook her head.
"Not until you answer me. What the hell is this? A sex contract?" Bella shrugged before trying to grab it again, failing once more. "Your fucking boyfriend is a damn sadist? That's what he meant when he said he had a special taste?" Bella groaned.
"He's not a sadist, okay? He's a Dom." Bella snapped at her friend who scowled.
"That's the same damn thing. Do you even know what BDSM stands for? It's Bondage, Dominance, Sadomasochism. If you are one, you are fucking all of them. Did that man hurt you?" Angela was livid as was Bella.
"No! Jake didn't hurt me, damnit! Just give me back the damn contract. It's private. It's between me and Jake, okay?"
"No, it's not okay! You were a virgin yesterday and now you are a Sub? What the fuck? You should have more self respect than to be involved in something like this. Do you have any idea what this shit entails?" Bella knew exactly what was on the line here and she wasn't sure what to say to honestly answer Angela's questions so she lied the best she could.
"I'm not a Sub, alright? Jake is my boyfriend and he cares about me. He wanted me to consider it because it's something he would like as a small part of our relationship. He doesn't care if I sign it or not. I haven't given him an answer and I was going to do research before I did. Not like that is any of your business." Tears filled Bella's eyes as her roommate relaxed.
"Oh." Angela softly handed the contract back to Bella who snatched it before turning her back to her friend. "Bella, I'm sorry." She huffed in response before looking at her friend.
"You're sorry? You better be fucking sorry. I told you that it was private, but still, you took it upon yourself to steal it from me, knowing I couldn't catch up to you with how I'm hurting right now. You took advantage of my state and I'm not going to be forgiving of such a fucked up move. Just so you know, my boyfriend is probably going to have you sign a non-disclosure agreement after what you just did." Bella grabbed her bag and went to her room before sitting on her bed. She pulled out her phone while wiping away her tears.
She expected Jake to be angry about what happen, but she hoped he wouldn't be too upset. It wasn't really her fault and Angela didn't even know the real truth.
She dialed his number and placed the phone to her ear, her heart rate accelerating. Her nerves were getting the best of her as her lip trembled.
"Hello?" She heard his husky voice and bit her lip to keep from crying her eyes out.
"Jake, I need to talk to you." Her voice cracked and she heard shuffling around on the other end.
"Bella, what's wrong?" It didn't taken Albert Einstein to figure out that she was terrified by what had transpired.
"It's Angela." She paused for a moment before taking a deep breath. "She snatched the contract out of my bag and she read some of it." There was a long pause on his end before his voice boomed.
"WHAT!" The anger was clear in his voice and her eyes squinted as her arm wound around stomach. "Why didn't you stop her! How could you let her do that!" She was shocked that he would even suggest this was her fault.
"I didn't let her do anything." He huffed on the other end of the phone.
"Sure, sure, like I believe that." His sarcasm rip through her chest as more tears fell.
"I didn't, alright?" A sob left her lips before her voice squeaked as she explained. "As you can recall, I lost my virginity last night so I'm in a lot of pain when I move around and I just got done chasing her around the living room and fighting with her to get it back from her so don't say I let her do anything. Plus, I lied to her about it so she wouldn't know the truth concerning it. All I told her about it before was that it was private." Another sob left her lips as she tried with all of her might to hold it in, but she couldn't.
"Bella, I-I…" Jacob was speechless and she could tell. Not only had she had her ass handed to her by Angela, but now Jacob was upset with her. She couldn't stand this and her heart was breaking more with every second,
"Goodbye, Jacob." She snapped her phone closed before laying it on the bed, laying her head on her pillow. She spooned her comforter as the tears rolled, her shoulders shook, and her gut clenched repeatedly.
She had never felt so betrayed as she did then by Angela's actions. Usually, Angela would respect Bella's privacy, but not this time. This time, her friend jumped over that boundary and did exactly what she wanted to do which had caused this problem for both her and Jacob to deal with.
Her phone went off, alerting her to a new text.
While still crying, she grabbed it, flipping it open.
I'm sorry. It's not your fault. Please, answer the phone.
Then, her phone started ringing and it was Jacob calling her, but she didn't answer. She ignored the call.
I'm not talking when I'm this upset. I only called before because you needed to know asap.
Bella switched off her phone before rolling herself in her blanket and turning to face her window.
Her phone rang a few more times and she had a couple texts come through, but she couldn't look at it. She was still too emotional to deal with anything outside herself. Jacob, Angela, hell, even her family.
She laid there for hours, quietly sobs leaving her lips, before her bedroom door slowly opened and closed. She thought it was Angela, coming to try to apologize for her behavior once again.
"I don't want to hear it, Ang." Soft footsteps followed her words before her bed shifted and she felt a strong hand on her hip.
"Hey." The husky voice of her lover came and she quickly turned her head, seeing the face of Jacob Black looking down at her. He had a sad smirk on his face as she looked to him with amazement.
"What are you doing here?" She questioned and his hand moved affectionately to her cheek. He stared down at her for a moment before he laid next to her, pulling her into his arms. She relaxed and held herself to his chest.
"It's okay, honey." That was all he said to her as she cried into his warm chest. She had never expected him to come to her rescue or to console her, but he did.
He was there for her. This was all she could ever want from him right then. He wasn't there for sex. He knew she couldn't give it to him then from her losing her virginity, but there he was, offering her comfort.
Thank you, she thought towards him as she fell asleep in his embrace
