The Kiss

Thanks to Everyone who read and reviewed my last chapter. I hope you enjoy this one.

Disclaimer- I don't own any of the twilight characters

I rushed inside the Vampires home wrapping the silk robe around myself trying to get away from the looks and noses of the males outside. The sweetness of the home burnt my nose like it was bleach. The women I had met on the plane started saying something to me but I couldn't focus on her words as the smell became overwhelming.

"I can't handle this" I growled as I darted out the front door. For the second time that day I phased midair and took off into the forest. The feeling of running in my wolf form was exhilarating. It had been a long time since I had felt the earth under my paws, the smells my sensitive wolf nose smelt were warm and inviting, I could smell fresh water running upstream, I could smell the red clay that was under the dead leaves and the minerals that formed the texture of the earth. It smelt like home, it made me question why I had stopped phasing for so long.

I wonder why Jacob had asked me if I was on heat...I didn't even know we went on heat. It made sense that if I was on heat they would smell it. Thinking about it if I was in heat when I was in my wolf form those years ago my family members wouldn't smell it because they only other male wolf was my brother and that would have been just weird.

I spotted an opening leading me to a cliff next the ocean, I sat up there and looked out across the water, It was beautiful here even if it wasn't my home.

"It's beautiful here isn't it" a silky deep voice whispered.

I turned around to see a huge muscular wolf trotting up next to me. I could tell by his smell that It was Jacob. Even in his wolf form he made me feel small. I noted in my head that even in our wolf form we made a striking couple, his dark tussock coloured fur and my white golden fur.

"Yea it is very beautiful" I mentally replied

After a long pause I sighed and turned one eye to him. "Do I really smell that terrible?" I thought out loud knowing we could hear each other.

I felt him put up a wall blocking his thoughts from me. The fact that he did this irked me, I turned to stare at him. I could see he was avoiding my eyes.

"Tell me!" I said mentally getting angry at every passing moment. It must have been my tone, or the super Alpha blood running in my veins because a second later I felt an explosion of thoughts rush through to me.

What the hell was that, I haven't succumbed to an alpha tone since bloody Sam. Damm if only she didn't smell sooo good I'd be able to concentrate and focus on controlling my thoughts.

"Nah you don't smell bad Tiana, that's the problem you smell good, really really good. So good that all I wanna do is roll in the long grass with you" he said with a wolfy smile.

"Oh..." is said in a surprised thought.

"Sorry about the alpha thing, I can't help it and I haven't been a wolf in so long that I'm ashamed to say I'm out of practise"

"Well you looked like an old pro when you nearly jumped on top of Emmett" he laughed.

"Ohh crap, sorry about that again, I'll go around when things have cooled down and have a chat to them about it, and about ruining Nessies birthday, and talking about Nessie, why are you here you should be hanging out with your girl on her birthday" I said in voice hoping it was coming across as friendly but non-interested.

"Yea there's a part of me that always wants to be there for her, and the other part of me has a responsibility to follow up on you. Since your Embry's guest and he's in my pack it makes sense that I came after you since only Alpha's can mentally communicate with each other. Aroha wanted to come but Embry wouldn't let her go" he said in a semi professional manner.

The tone in the way he said it made me feel stupid and hurt for a second. For some silly reason I had it in my head that he came after me because he cared slightly, but after hearing the real reason I realised it was all in my head and he was here because of his responsibilities. I couldn't blame him though, he was imprinted and an Alpha.

"Well glad to hear that we have that sorted then" I said in a short tone.

He turned to follow but I just looked at him and shook my head. I darted through the trees to get away from the ledge. I needed to get away from him, from the Vampire's from everyone just for an hour or so.

I was lucky that Embry and Aroha had washing on the line because I ran back to their little cottage and grabbed some pants and a top and went back into the forest to change. I walked into the house now fully clothed realising how starving I was. As I walked out of the kitchen with a plate full of toast and a cup of tea in my hands, I nearly screamed when I saw Jacob standing in the lounge, he too had changed and was just wearing a ripped pair of jean shorts and was shirtless. His hair was ruffled, his chest was rising from his laboured breathing. His eyes were dark.

"Whats wrong?" I said urgently seeing the intensity of his gaze as I put my food on the kitchen bench.

"You are wrong" he said taking a step towards me.

"What do you mean?" I said confused.

"Back at the cliff you were wrong, you were right when you thought I had come up there because I cared" he said in a gruff tone. I looked at him in shock, I didn't realise he had heard my thoughts.

"I know I shouldn't care because I hardly know you, and I am imprinted on someone else, but there's something about you that I can't shake" he said in the deepest sexiest voice I'd ever heard.

I was frozen on the spot, I couldn't stop staring into his deep dark eyes. His chest was rising up and down so fast that I thought I was going to explode. I could feel the heat rolling off him. He walked up to me as I backed up against the fridge.

He stood so close to me that our bodies were nearly flat against each other. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath inhaling my scent. Then it dawned on me. It was because I'm on heat that this was happening. This wasn't him, this was me, and this was me doing this to him.

"No, this isn't you" I said as he opened his eyes. I went to continue but he laced his arms around my waist to making my body curve to the action.

"No your right, this IS me" he said as his kissed me. His lips touched mine with such force that I thought I was going to explode. He grabbed me tighter as he laced his other hand around the back of my neck, intertwining his fingers into the base of my hair.

I felt his tongue brush past my lips as a request for entry. The heat of his delicious breath was too much to bear and I opened my lips and slid my tongue across his. This simple action made him sigh and I felt his body prickle up with goose bumps. The passion of the kiss was full of emotion.

The passion soon turned softer and gentler as his hand slid up my neck to cup my face. I didn't realise but I had slid my arms around his neck during our kiss. He kissed me gently twice as I pulled back.

"I'm sorry about that. Like I said, that wasn't you, it was because of me. Me being on heat has made you like this" I said as I gently pushed him away.

He just stared at me in slight awe and annoyance that I had ruined a good kiss with an apology.

"So what's your excuse then?" he said with a slight grin.

"I saw a hot guy trying to kiss me, what type of girl stops that" I laughed as I grabbed my toast.

"I know of one" he said looking outside suddenly.

"Uh oh trip down memory lane hey, when your finished I'm sure they're missing you at the party especially that cute little vampire girl of yours" I said not looking at him.

I could see the conflict raking through his thoughts because his face scrunched up and he got this cute little frown across his forehead.

"Don't feel guilty, it was just a kiss. And anyways since I'm apparently on heat, I'm sure you won't be the only guy trying to mack it on me" I said cheekily as I sat down on the table munching on a piece of peanut butter toast.

With that he swore and slammed his fist against the bench top. "Calm down wolfy or else you'll be making a new bench top for that lovely sister of mine"

"You tell me if anyone touches you without your permission, man, wolf or vampire" Jake said in an angry tone.

"woaahhh hold up, why they hell would a vampire try and touch me" I said confused.

"Well that little show that you put on in front of the Cullens you got more of a reaction that you should have realised, or did you forget how Emmett responded to you. Why do you think Jasper looked so furious?" Jake said in a snide voice.

With that I was up on my feet and in his face faster than he could blink. "Don't you dare use that condescending tone on me, I was trying to protect that little girl and once I realised I had disrespected the hosts I humbled myself and phased to apologise in person. It takes a person with pride and respect to do that. If you so much as take that tone with me again Jacob I swear you'll only have one eye to look at my pretty face with because the other one will be swollen shut. Do you hear me?" I growled knowing the natural instinct of my alpha tone was rolling off my lips.

I saw his eyes soften when he realised he had offended me. "Just tell me if anyone touches you without permission ok"

"Whatever Jacob, I can handle them, if you havn't forgotten I'm a wolf remember"

"A wolf that is out of practise according to your own words"

"Well I'll just have to fix that wont I, I'm sure Sam wouldn't mind letting me hang with his lot to get back in the game"

I saw him stiffen at the mention of Sam. "Whatever, if your with Sam you won't need to call me if anyone is sniffing around you I'm sure Sam will deal to them" he said as he walked out the door.

I decided to take a nap to wait for the others to return. I checked my emails via my iphone and saw that Dante had emailed me letting me know his good news and that he was looking forward to coming to the wedding. I could read through the lines in his email that he wanted to come and visit prior to the wedding. Thinking about it I dozed off to sleep with my phone in my hands.

I woke up and the sun was just starting to set. I could hear Embry snoring in their room and Aroha was in the bathroom. I decided I needed to clear the air with the Cullen's so I changed into a pair of jeans and a warm jacket, my hair up into a messy bun and grabbing Embry's car keys off the table headed out the door.

Pulling up to the Cullens I could see that they had already taken down the birthday decorations. The lights in the house were all on as I approached the front door. Before I was able to knock, the door opened. Alice stood in there smiling.

"Hi Tiana, it's nice to see you again, would you like to come in?" she said with a bright smile.

"um yea thanks, Alice isn't it?" I said awkwardly. What the hell was I doing here by myself? I should have asked Aroha to come with me I thought to myself.

She ushered me into the lounge as I sat down.

"Why hello Tiana, are you ok, I know today was a little full on for you" A women who looked like a younger more beautiful version of a tv mom said as she sat opposite me on an opposing couch.

"I'm Esme, let me officially introduce my family. This is Alice and Jasper who I understand you've already met. Carlisle my husband is a doctor at the Forks hospital and is on night shift at the moment. Edward and Bella are at their cottage with Nessie who you've already met, I'm sure you'll get a chance to see them again soon. And that's Emmett, we've recently just lost a member of our family Rosalie so please excuse us if we seem a little out of sorts". She said in a polite fashion.

"Of course Mrs Cullen, I don't want to take up your time. I just wanted to apologise for ruining your grand daughter's birthday." I said earnestly

"And I wanted to also apologise again to Emmett for attacking you" I said turning to him smiling honestly that wasn't the first impression I was hoping to make on my sisters new friends.

"Not at all Tiana, the fact that you jumped to save Nessie when you thought she was in danger practically makes you apart of this family now. She is very important to us all and the point that you did that has already shown you in a good light in our eyes" she said smiling.

I smiled to myself. These blood drinkers where nothing like the ones I had grown up killing. They were more human, more empathetic. They still had an air of danger that seemed to linger around them but other than that they seemed ok.

"Still... if there is anything I can do to make it up to you guys please let me know" I said looking at them.

"hmm actually there is something"

I looked to see Emmett smiling at me as he casually leaned on the back door frame.

Jasper hissed and shook his head.

"umm ok that was weird what's with the hissing dude?" I said looking at him.

Emmett cracked up laughing watching me looking at Jasper with a werided out look.

"I like this girl already" Emmett laughed

"Ok what do you want me to do?" I said smiling, raising an eyebrow.

"Since these guys have already been, and no one wants to go with me I need someone to go hunting with me" he said like it was nothing.

"That is if you think you can keep up" he said challenging me.

Oh hell to the no! Nobody, let alone a bloody Vampire could think they could take me on I thought as my competitive edge arose. I stood up making my way to the door.

"Keep dreaming buff boy, there is no way you could take me, it's on like donky kong" I said walking out the door.

"haha I could smell you from a mile away" Emmett laughed. I stopped to scowl at him as I rolled my eyes and took off to the forest to phase.

"Em I don't think this is a good idea" Jasper said.

"Chill dude, don't worry I'm not gonna eat her or anything, she's still a wolf remember"

"Yea but we can all smell her changes" he said awkwardly looking at Alice.

"They'll will be fine Jasper, I can see us playing video games tomorrow" she said smiling walking up the stairs.

I barked an impatient bark telling Emmett that I was waiting when I heard an angry voice in my head.

"Tiana! where the hell are you? Embry and Aroha are going nuts they thought you had been kidnapped or had run away with their car!" Jacob scowled in my thoughts.

"agh calm down, I went to apologise to the Vamps, and I asked what it was I could do to make it up to them and I got asked to go hunting. No drama so tell Aroha and Embry I'll be back in an hour or two ok" I said as I waited for Emmett.

"Who are you hunting with?" he asked.

"I told you with the Cullens" I said

"WHO are you hunting with Tee" he said again.

Shocked that he had used Aroha's nic name for me. I replied quietly "I'm going with Emmett ok, don't stress I'm fine it's my way of saying sorry"

"Whatever, if you need anything, ANYTHING at all just howl ok. I'm gonna phase and tell Aroha your ok" Jake growled as he phased out.

I turned to see Emmett arrive in the forest line. It was going on dark now but we both could see as clear as day. He laughed as he ran his hands down my wolf spine and fluffing my tail.

"Come on you little She Wolf, its time I show you how us scary Vampires have fun" he said in a playful tone ripping through the forest.

Oh my gosh Tiana what the hell are you doing hunting with a hot Vampire. Crap did I just call him hot? I must need more sleep than I realised, I was glad Jake was out of my thoughts right then.

I laughed to myself as Emmett did a pretend bark to get my attention. This is going to be an interesting night...

Thanks for reading please review pleassseee!
