Happiness in Unexpected Situations
A/N: Beta'd 12/13/09 :]
Panic
Jacob gave a soft sigh and rolled onto his stomach, surprised at how hard the bed was this morning. He wiggled a bit to find a more comfortable spot, and frowned when he heard a low moan. Wide awake, he found himself staring into the eyes of a groggy Edward, his gaze unfocused.
"Good morning to you too," he murmured sleepily, his lips reaching up to meet Jacob's. Mortified at the thought of his own morning breath, Jake swiftly got off of Edward and dashed across the hall to brush his teeth. He heard soft chuckles behind him, and when he returned Jasper and Edward were sitting up in bed, looking at him sleepily. Blushing at the foolishness of his actions, Jacob climbed back into bed with them, snuggling into Edward's side and allowing Jasper's arms to snake back around him.
"What time is it?" Edward murmured in his ear, leaving a light kiss on his shoulder. Jacob arched into his touch.
"Ah… about eight…" he sighed, closing his eyes when he felt Edward reach beneath the covers to stroke him. Jasper gave a light chuckle at Jacob's moan.
"Not right now you don't," he murmured, pulling Jacob out of Edward's reach. Ignoring Edward's pout, he grinned down at Jake.
"Didn't you tell us yesterday that you had to be somewhere at nine?"
Jacob frowned before remembering his job application.
"Coco's," he whispered, hurrying to get off the bed as he made his way into the bathroom. He'd just turned on the water in the shower and had stepped in to test the warmth when he was suddenly shoved fully into the shower stall and pressed against the wall. Surprised, Jacob's eyes connected with topaz ones. Edward's heated gaze made him squirm, and he shivered when he felt hands grope his rear in an effort to pull him closer.
"Do you want me?" Edward whispered, eyes filled with amusement as he watched Jacob smile shyly in return.
Jacob didn't know how to politely say 'fuck yeah'.
Seeing the answer in the other man's eyes, Edward smiled.
"Take me."
Eager to obey, Jacob stood on tip-toe and pressed his lips against Edward's, sighing as he felt him automatically slip his tongue into his mouth as they battled for dominance. Edward quickly won, his hands gently turning Jacob around so that he was facing the wall. Placing a heated kiss on his neck, Edward entered one digit, then two, before pulling out his fingers and inserting his length. Hearing Jacob's hiss of pleasure, Edward smirked and took a quick pace, groaning as he felt Jacob tighten around him. His hands slipping around Jacob's waist, Edward started to pump his length, enjoying the sound of Jacob's loud whimpers.
"God, Edward…"
Biting down hard on the smaller man's shoulder in response, Edward increased his tempo, closing his eyes when he felt himself get close. Jacob stiffened as well as he felt Edward's hand around his cock give one last teasing squeeze, and, crying out, he came with a low shudder. He felt Edward's hands dig into his back as a few moments later he found his own release, softly moaning Jacob's name.
The two stood in the now cold shower, their harsh breathing mingling.
Eventually, Edward pulled away, dragging Jacob into an embrace.
"That's what you get," he growled, "for waking me up."
Jacob's eyes twinkled.
"Will that be my punishment every time?" he teased, feeling Edward smile as he rested his cheek on his chest. Feeling Edward's new hard on, Jacob smirked.
He guessed that answered his question.
Jasper yawned and poured two glasses of orange juice, glancing at the clock with amusement - he had a feeling Edward had joined Jacob in the shower. He got out a couple boxes of cereal and had just poured a bowl for himself when he heard the pattering of steps and suddenly a wet Edward appeared, looking thoroughly satisfied. Locking eyes with Jasper, his gaze quickly grew heated. Recognizing that look, Jasper pushed a bowl in his direction.
"You're late."
Edward looked as if he couldn't care less.
"Yes."
Jasper gave him an exasperated look.
"You're going to make Jake late, too. It's eight forty five…"
Edward advanced on Jasper, who put a feeble hand on his chest to stop him.
"There's no way you're making me la… ah…"
Edward's mouth on Jasper's silenced him, and immediately he felt himself harden as Edward's hands went down to the bulge in his pants.
"Do you want me to take care of that, Jazz?" he murmured, nipping his neck playfully. Jasper groaned and fought the urge to push Edward's head down to where he desperately wanted it.
"Yes," he hissed.
Edward smiled sweetly and shimmied Jasper's pants off of him before getting on his knees and stroking him expertly, tweaking and rubbing all of the sensitive areas he knew were Jasper's weakness. Jasper cursed, his hands finding themselves entangled in Edward's hair. Seeing this as Jasper's silent plea to go further, Edward easily took him in his mouth, making sure to deep throat him once… twice…
"God, Edward…!"
Edward sniggered. He must be better than he thought if he'd been referred to as a god twice today.
Fuck, Jacob thought as he ran around the room, shrugging into a pair of nice jeans and a button up shirt. He wasn't going to get to Coco's in time. Hurriedly grabbing Coco's application, he rushed down the stairs to see a disheveled and flushed Jasper leaning against the counter, with a very satisfied and smug looking Edward standing next to him as he ate his cereal.
"I'm going to be late. I have to get to Coco's… Can I use the car again?"
"It's yours. Didn't Jazz tell you that?" Edward said. Jacob yanked the keys from the counter and nearly dropped the cell phone Edward had thrown at him.
"Don't forget your phone," he chided, eyes serious. "We're pretty damn bad when it comes to checking up on people. Jazz is only going to be gone until twelve, and I'll get back at about five."
"Okay. I'll try to get back around the time Jasper does." Nodding his thanks, Jacob gave them a small smile before practically running to the door and throwing it open as he hurried to the Porsche.
Jacob parked the car and looked at the time.
Exactly nine o'clock.
Thanking whatever gods favored him, he got out of the car and jogged to the bookstore, slowing down the check the time again.
Nine o' one.
When he arrived at the shop doors he opened them to find Coco beaming down at him.
"I knew you'd be here on time, Mr. Black."
Winking, she plucked the application from his hands and made her way to the counter, motioning for Jacob to follow. Sighing in relief, he watched her as she made sure the application was filled out correctly before putting it into a pile and handing him a badge. He blinked at it. She chuckled.
"It's your soon-to-be identification badge. Everyone needs one, and you'll need to get your picture taken. After that, we'll see what position you're best in, and we'll put it below the picture so customers can know your specialty."
Jacob inwardly cried out with triumph.
"Thank you, Coco."
She waved him off.
"You can take your picture at any time. Here's your schedule," she fumbled around for an extra time sheet and circled the days he'd be working.
"Angie already circled the days she wanted," she said, pointing to the red circles. "And Jason circled his."
She pointed to the green.
"You're mostly doing early day shifts as well as some late night shifts."
She glanced up at him.
"Is that alright?"
He nodded quickly. Anything was fine with him as long as he had the job. Patting his arm, Coco turned around to grab something else when there was a hard tap on his shoulder.
"Excuse me," said a gruff voice, making Jacob turn. "I'm looking for some goddamn books, and I can't find a fuckin' clerk around here anywhere."
He eyed Jacob's blank badge.
"You work here?"
"Yes," Jacob said calmly, straightening up.
Narrowing his eyes, he demanded, "Where's the science fiction?"
Jacob hadn't the slightest idea, but he thought he may have seen them by the erotica section.
"If you go straight past this counter," Jacob prayed his words were true. "And past the erotica section, on your left you'll find mystery and science fiction."
Grumbling, the man lumbered away as he followed Jacob's directions. Coco looked at him appraisingly.
"Very well done, Jacob. The science fiction is actually directly on your right, but he'll find it…"
They watched him scratch his head and look around at the books in confusion. She winked.
"Eventually."
Jacob chuckled and had just placed his newly acquired time-table into his bag when a petite girl hurried over to them, her face flushed a pretty pink.
"Oh! Coco, have you seen Mr. Grumpy- ah, I mean, Mr. Michaels, make his way through here? He was looking for science fiction, but I had been shelving books…"
She trailed off as she noticed Jacob and his newly acquired badge.
"Hello," She added with a smile. "I'm Angela Webber."
She held out a hand. He took it and smiled back.
"I'm Jacob Black. Nice to meet you," he murmured, and Coco pointed to the science fiction section. "Jacob here found him and pointed him to the right direction. This is the boy I was talking to you about, Angie. He'll be helping us out from now on."
She smiled in relief.
"Oh, I'm glad. I didn't mind working the store alone, but the more and more customers we get…" She shrugged sheepishly. "I get a bit frazzled."
Coco nodded sympathetically just as the bell rang, signaling another customer. Jacob glanced at the door and frowned at the man that walked in.
Why did he seem so familiar…?
Ignoring the nagging feeling that something was off, he focused his attention back to Coco and Angela, who remembered she still had a couple more books to shelve.
"I'll see you around, Jacob. Maybe later on we can get a coffee?"
Jacob nodded.
"I'd love to, Angela. Thank you."
She blushed and gave him a large smile before heading back to a large aisle of books. Coco turned back to him.
"Well, that's all. You'll start officially tomorrow at eight o' clock for opening, but arrive a few minutes earlier so that I can get your picture."
"Alright, thank you, Coco."
She smiled at him before taking off to go to the back room. Jacob eyed his timesheet as he made his way out of the shop. He had every day that wasn't circled, so that meant he had every single closing and opening day on the time table, except for one afternoon shift… Deciding to walk to a small café and get something to eat, he made his way onto an empty street that was a shortcut to the café. He jumped when suddenly his phone vibrated, and he took it out of his pocket clumsily as he gazed at all of the buttons in dismay. All he'd wanted was a simple phone, but Jasper had insisted on a large blackberry with so many buttons he could barely find the green talk button. He'd just found it and had pressed talk when large, rough hands wrapped around his mouth and prevented him from crying out in surprise.
"You didn't think we'd find you, did you, Jacob Black?"
A voice, breath sour whispered in his ear, making him freeze from shock.
No…
"Jacob? Are you there?" Jasper's confused voice made him look down at his phone in dismay. Suddenly Jacob found himself surrounded by a very large group of men, and he cursed his stupidity at not looking carefully at where he'd been going. He'd gotten too relaxed…
"Tell them you're just fine, and you'll be home soon," the voice belonging to the hands holding his mouth cooed, releasing his mouth and grabbing his other arm to twist it around his body instead. Jacob shakily brought the phone to his mouth.
"Hi Jasper…"
He glared at the men that surrounded him. They all carried a concealed weapon in their jackets to prevent him from saying something he shouldn't.
"Hey, are you alright? Did you get the job at Coco's?"
Jacob closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
"I'm fine, Jazz," he murmured. At a hard nudge in his back, Jacob clutched the phone tighter. "I've got to go. I'll see you soon, okay?"
He clicked the phone to off and fought back his alarm as suddenly his phone was ripped out of his hands and shoved into another set of pockets.
"Go," the same voice growled, and Jacob stumbled into a black car that was settled on the side of the alleyway.
How the fuck hadn't he noticed that?
The hands holding him opened the car door and shoved him in before closing it. Inwardly groaning, Jacob desperately tried to figure out what to do next. Any way he looked at it, he had a bad feeling Edward and Jasper weren't going to like this.
A/N: Oh no! Poor Jacob! What will happen to him now?? He needs reviews to get him through his moment of despair! xD
