"Well okay Mr. Black. Lead the way! But just so you know, you didn't have to plan anything. Just knowing that was a gift. Hey, does Billy know? I think he gave me a weird look before I left?" I asked.

Jacob laughed. "Yea, I told him. He is very happy for me, for us. Are you happy Bells?"

"More than you'll ever know," I answered back.

Jacob's POV (as he is walking down to the beach with Bella)

Was that a mistake? God, I really hope that I don't let her down. I really hope that Sam was right and I did imprint on her. Otherwise, I just told the biggest lie of my life. It will kill her if it wasn't the truth. Please, please just let it be the truth. I can't lose her…

Back to Bella's POV

We continued to walk in silence down the street towards the beach. The sky above was clear and I could see the stars shining above and a calm, warm breeze was blowing. While we walked, I would occasionally turn my head and sneak a peek at Jacob's face. More times than not, he was looking back at me. I would smile and then quickly look away. He would then pull my hand, which was entwined with his, and kiss the top of it. It felt good to be loved and wanted. I never wanted this feeling to go away and I now knew that it wouldn't. He would never leave me and that thought made my heart skip a few beats.

Within a few minutes, we were on the path that would lead us down to the beach. Jacob and I took off our sandals and held them so as to not get them bogged down with sand. My heart was racing in my chest as we continued to walk. I was the kind of girl that normally did not like someone doing something like this for me but I was beyond excited to see what he had in store for us tonight. We turned a little on the path and the beach came into view. When I saw it, I gasped. Jacob turned his body so that he was looking directly at me.

"Do you like it? It's not much but I just…" Jacob started to say. I quickly stopped him by jumping up into his arms and planting my lips onto his for an earth-shattering kiss. He put his hands on my legs and thighs to keep me from falling and we got lost in the kiss. He then pulled away, breathless, and said, "So you like it?" with a coy smile on his face.

I put my legs on the ground and his arms stayed wrapped around my waist. "It's perfect. How did you get all of this done?"

"Well, it pays to have great friends. They were really happy to hear about us and when I told them what I had planned, they were more than happy to help." He leaned down and kissed me on my forehead. "Ready to head down there?" he asked.

I smiled up at him. "Of course!" I said. I grabbed his hand and we ran down the rest of the path to the beach. When we got down to the sand, I had to stop again and look at the beautiful landscape and set-up before me. The waves were crashing into the shore, the smell of the salt water was strong as the wind blew over my face. About a dozen Tiki torch candles were pushed into the sand with the flames burning. In the middle of the candles was a portable gazebo. It was weighted down to the ground by sand bags and surrounded by a sheer, green cloth that zipped in the front. I could see inside the gazebo an air mattress with pillows, blankets, and towels, along with a picnic basket and a cooler.

I turned to look at Jacob again. "I still can't believe that you did all of this…for me. Thank you…for everything," I whispered, leaning up to kiss him gently on his lips. My body felt so elated and full of love that I could hardly contain my emotions. I felt a tear fall down my cheeks and was suddenly embarrassed. I quickly moved my head down away from Jacob's and felt my signifying blush creep up my neck to my cheeks.

Jacob pushed my head up to look at his and he used his hand to wipe away the tear. He looked into my eyes for a few moments and then he pulled me into his arms for a warm, tight, loving embrace. I could feel the warmth of his body on mine and knew that he felt the same things I was feeling at that very moment.

"Hey, wanna go for a swim before we have dessert?" Jacob said, his chin resting on top of mine. "There are towels in the gazebo and I also had Leah pack an extra pair of clothes in case you get cold later."

"Wow, you thought of everything. I am very impressed," I said to him. "Sure, let's go swimming. Hey, did you know that I have never been swimming at night? This will be a first for me."

He chuckled. "No I did not. I am glad to be here for your first time….swimming at night of course," he said, looking at me and winking. I shook my head and laughed back at him.

Once we got close to the water, we undressed. I put my capris, tank top, and flip flops that had been in my hands down on the sand and turned to wait for Jacob. When I saw his expression, I immediately felt the blush from before return to my body.

"Bells, you look…amazing. The moonlight really agrees with you," Jacob said to me, putting the shirt that he had taken off on top of my clothes.

"You don't look so bad there yourself mister," I said. Even though it was darker down here, the moonlight was enough light to see the muscles of Jacob's chest and stomach. His bathing suit hung low on his hips and he looked tan, even at night.

Jacob came close to me and grabbed my hand. "The water is warm, I had the gang check it before while they were here. Wanna run and jump in?" he asked.

"Okie dokie!" I said. "One, two, three…GO!" Before I knew it, Jacob had grabbed me, thrown me into his arms bridal style, and ran us into the water. I was screaming and laughing at the same time. As we entered the water, Jacob's long muscular legs splashed water around us. He then leapt up and we both fell into the water. The warm, salty water covered us both. I closed my eyes, to prevent the salt from getting in my eyes. I felt his arms loosen from around me and I stood up, the water about waist high. I was still laughing and could barely breathe. I opened my eyes and pushed pieces of hair that had fallen out of my messy bun away from my face. "Jacob?" I coughed out. I didn't hear anything. "Jacob?" I called out again, worry in my voice. Still nothing. I looked around me in the water. I couldn't see anything below the surface of the water. My heart was racing in panic. I was splashing the water, yelling, "Jacob? Jacob? Where are you?"

Suddenly, I heard a loud splash from behind me, a growl, and I felt arms wrap themselves tightly around me. I screamed as the hands moved me around so that I was face to face with Jacob. When he saw the expression on my face, he burst out laughing.

"Did I scare you?" he asked, while trying to catch his breath.

"Yes! I thought you hurt yourself. I was calling your name and you didn't answer me. I thought you hit your head or something when we ran in the water…jerk!" I yelled, slapping him on the shoulder. I put a pout on my face to show that I was upset with him.

"Aw…I'm sorry Bells! I was just trying to play a trick on you…are you mad at me?' he said, looking at me with puppy dog eyes again.

"Ugh, no. I could never stay mad at you…but you better never do that again buddy!" I said, squeezing out of Jacob's arms and then splashing him.

An all out splashing contest ensued. Jacob, having bigger arms and a bigger, more developed, and gorgeous looking upper body beat me in minutes. Jacob decided, once he had declared himself, "Winner and champion" to tackle me again in the water, this time though keeping his arms tight around my waist. He kept me from falling completely in the water. He then moved us out so that we were in deeper water. His feet were touching the sand underneath us but he moved his arms so that he could wrap my legs around his waist. He then moved his arms so that they were caressing the curves of my hips. The feel of his hands and the movement of the water felt warm on my body. While he was walking us out further, our eyes were interlocked, and my hands were stroking his cheeks. The glistening water on his slicked back hair and the light from the moon caused his skin to look as if it was sparkling.

That twinge in my stomach returned instantaneously and to push it out, I pulled my body closer to Jacob's. He stopped walking out at this point and we just stood there, or I should say he stood there while I held on to his body. The twinge was lessening and I was trying to slow my heart down. Jacob just held on to me as the water moved around us. There was no noise, nothing out here but our two hearts beating, the water lapping, and our breathing. I pulled my head away from his chest, and just stared into his eyes. The moon was reflecting in them, and he looked beautiful.

I smiled. "This may not sound quite right but you look well…beautiful out here in the water."

He chuckled. "That's funny, I was just thinking similar thoughts about you."

I frowned. "Similar?"

"Yeah, because there is no word in the human language that could right now express just how amazing you look here tonight."

I moved my face towards his and kissed him softly, at first. The kiss intensified quickly and our mouths were hungry for each other. His hands were moving around my hips and moving to my inner thighs. I kept my legs locked around his waist. Even though we were out in the water, I could feel the warmth that was traveling down to the now very alert and sensitive part of my body. My body was yearning for more from Jacob. I wanted to feel him on me, inside of me.

These emotions were all new to me and while I was experiencing passion and arousal like this for the first time, I was also slightly embarrassed by my body's reactions and my thoughts of what I wanted Jacob to do to me. I was abruptly distracted from my thoughts of awkwardness as Jacob's fingers skimmed the outside of the bottoms to my bathing suit. Our mouths refused to pull away from one another, our lips and tongue swollen from the movements. One of Jacob's hands was playing with the tie that held my bathing suit bottom together and his other hand was touching my engorged feminine center through my bathing suit. I gasped at the touch and pushed my body closer to his. I didn't want him to stop anything that he was doing. I wanted him to do more, I wanted him as close to me as he could possibly be, I just wanted HIM. He continued to move his fingers in circles around the front of my bathing suit and he moved his lips away from mine. He placed them on my neck, kissing and sucking as he moved then to my chest. I was gasping as he moved his lips over my wet body and kept his fingers busy. He then moved his mouth back up towards my ears and whispered, "Can I keep going?"

I panted back, "Don't even think about stopping!"

He chuckled slightly. "Well, I guess I'm on the right track then. I'm gonna base my next movements on your reactions. So, if you seem to like it, I'll go further. If I don't see a reaction, well, that just means I'll have to stop," he said seductively, while continuing to kiss my neck and ear lobe. I could barely muster a response to what he had said. I tried to say, "Don't stop" but it kind of came out sounding like a baby was speaking in gibberish.

He bought his lips back to mine and I hungrily accepted them. I loved kissing Jacob and I loved the feelings he gave me. I felt Jacob moving my bathing suit away from my body. He was moving his fingers around my thighs and the outside of my hot, anticipating core, coming close to it but not touching. He did this over and over again. I was shuddering in expectation, my body ready for whatever came next. But then, I realized what he was doing. He was teasing me! That jerk! I moved away from him and glared at him. He laughed. "Like that?" he asked.

"Well, let's see how you like this," I said, as a feeling of bravado came over me. I reached one of my hands down below the waist of his bathing suit. I could feel his erection and grabbed it. He clenched his mouth shut and I heard a sudden intake of air. "Dear Lord," he said with his eyes shut as I stroked up and down, squeezing tightly with each stroke. I continued to do that for a minute and then stopped and removed my hand from his bathing suit.

"What the…" he said, his eyes snapped open. I had leaned back at this point and had my arms across my chest.

He was breathing hard. "Okay. So I take it that you don't like the teasing. That just means I will just have to get straight to the point." He used one hand to unlock my arms and bring me close to him. He slammed his lips to mine and I immediately forgot what we had just talked about. One of his hands was wrapped around my thigh and the other one was caressing its way down to my bathing suit bottom again. I was panting and moaning as we continued to kiss. It felt as if my body was going to explode, like a rush of water was going to splash over us. He then moved his fingers so that he was pushing the bathing suit to the side again. His fingers were touching my skin, rubbing my core gently. I was beyond moaning at this point. I was groaning and panting and who knows what else, all at the same time. I pulled my mouth away from Jacob's and he moved his to kiss my shoulders and chest. He inched his mouth farther down until he was kissing my breasts through my bathing suit top. My head was tilted back, facing the sky with my eyes closed. I just kept breathing hard and moaning over and over again. My whole body was shaking and I felt very hot, even though we were in the water. He moved his fingers faster on me, his tongue moving my bikini top aside and licking my nipples. I was practically convulsing. My body was not used to feeling this way. I was getting hotter and hotter being in his arms. I began to say, "Don't stop," over and over again and thankfully, he kept going. I never wanted this feeling to go away.

Then, very slowly and gently, he moved his fingers and pushed them up inside of me. At first, I felt a slight pinch, due to my lack of experience in this department. Jacob then used his thumb to rub the spot that his fingers were previously touching and the pinching feeling soon disappeared. I relaxed again and Jacob started to move again. He moved his fingers up and down in me, also moving them back and forth. His thumb was stroking me, fast, then slow, fast, then slow. I couldn't take it anymore. I moved my face down and pushed his face until his lips were back on mine. I was still moaning, my body pulsing under his touch. He must have known how close I was to bursting so he used his other hand to pull me closer. He never stopped moving his other hand and I was very happy for that. I felt a huge, hot blush, a blush I have never felt before, covering my entire body and then it happened. I moaned very, very loudly and my body convulsed violently. I was practically screaming Jacob's name over and over again. He continued to move his fingers the whole time my body exploded over him. I was gasping, pulling my mouth away from his, my head snapping back as the fireworks inside my body continued to go off. Soon, I felt the blush vanish and the violent movements dissipated. I sighed, which was again, a loud sound out here in the middle of the water, and hung my head down. Every single muscle and every part of my body, even my eyelashes, were relaxed and calm.

Jacob moved his fingers and fixed my bathing suit bottom. He made sure the tie was nice and secure before he bought his hand to the surface. He then pushed my face up to face his and kissed me tenderly on the lips.

"So, I take it that I did okay?" he said, staring into my eyes.

"Hmm…" I said, my mouth so relaxed that it couldn't even form words. Jacob's actions had erased the past few years of stress and worry from my body and it felt…well, there were no words to describe how good I felt.

"Seeing you like that…God Bells, you are a mischievous hot little thing. You have no idea what you do to me," Jacob said, pulling me close to him again. I could still feel his erection through his bathing suit.

My mouth and brain were finally able to put together a coherent thought. "Well, it was your actions that caused the little devil in me to come out, so give yourself a pat on the back," I said, smirking at him.

Jacob then moved one of his hands and gave himself a few pats on the back. I laughed. "Don't worry, there is plenty more where that came from," he said to me, winking.

"What, pats on the back?" I laughed back, shaking my head. I knew what he meant but I wanted to hear him say it.

"No, and you know exactly what I mean," he then spun us around in the water and jumped, with me still in his arms, under the water. I closed my eyes but could still feel his arms locked around my body. His lips found mine under the water and we kissed there until we needed to come up for air.

I opened my eyes and fixed my mess that is my hair as best as I could. Jacob released me and he pushed his long black hair away from his face.

"Bells, it think it is time to say good night to the water…you are shivering," Jacob said to me. Until he said something, I hadn't noticed that my body was shaking, I had goosebumps on my arms, and my teeth were chattering. I wasn't sure why my body suddenly had a different reaction to the water, seeing as how before, it had been warm to me. I blamed the wind that was blowing because it was a little cooler now.

He grabbed my arms and we walked out of the water onto the sand. Jacob and I walked over to grab our clothes that we had left there before our swim. I was really cold now. Jacob pulled me close to him and he used his body heat to keep me warm. It worked a little bit.

We walked up the sand and into the gazebo, the covering blowing in the breeze. Jacob grabbed the towels for us. He wrapped one around me and pulled me towards him again, rubbing my arms up and down to help me get warmer. My teeth weren't chattering anymore but I still felt a slight chill.

As he was drying me off and warming me up, I looked up at him. I was instantly overcome with love and devotion, the cold leaving my body for good. I stood up on my tiptoes and kissed the tip of his nose. "I love you," I said, looking into his eyes, hoping he could read all of the emotions I was feeling right then.

"I love you too Bells, more than you'll ever know," he replied, placing his mouth on mine for a warm, affectionate kiss.
