A/N: I'm really excited about this whole story. Thank you, thank you to all of my reviewers. You guys keep me going. Just know that no matter what happens and what challenges Bella and Edward face, they will be facing it together. ALL THE WAY TO THE END! I'm totally team HEA. Just thought I would throw that in there.

Also, a reminder about Jacob and Bella's relationship. They are JUST friends. A certain person *cough* K Ray *cough* has me convinced that she thinks Jacob loves Bella. *rolls eyes* I understand it's Jacob we are talking about here and he is usually noted as 'the guy who wants but never gets', but if he blows a fuse in this chapter I hope you understand that it is because Bella is dating a guy who is hunting him and not because he is jealous that HE can't have Bella. He is friends with Bella and doesn't want to see her hurt. But he feels that by Bella dating Edward she is betraying his friendship, ya know? Anywho, I just had to clear that up in case my writing comes off as the whole love triangle shit! Thanks for understanding.

Chapter 10:

When Edward introduced himself to Jacob with an extended hand, Jacob surprisingly did shake his hand; and a little too firm at that. "We were just watching a little TV." liar "Bella has told me so much about you." That was another lie. I had only mentioned Jake the day in Dad's office and explained he was my best friend.

"Umph." Jacob grunted. "I wish I could say the same about you."

Dear God, don't do this Jacob. Not now!

"Well, why don't you come join us in the living room and I'll tell you anything you want to know about me, Jacob."

We all sat in the living room, the tension so thick I could barely breathe. Edward acted as if he was totally oblivious to Jacob's death glares. If he noticed them, he was not the least bit intimidated. I kind of admired Edward's inferiority because Jacob could intimidate a mad raging bull if he wanted to. However, I still hadn't convinced myself that Edward really even felt the tension at all.

Edward fumbled with the remote and switched the mute button on. Great! I guess he thought the awkward silence wasn't enough. So let's just take it to another awkward level, Edward.

Edward looked as if he was about to say something but Jacob turned to me and started talking before Edward had the chance. "Are you feeling better, Bella?" I could see the hint of evil in his eye. He already knew I had blown him off for Edward and now he wanted to torture me. I may have deserved it. Because like I said I was a shitty friend but Jacob was just being an ass right now and he fucking knew it!

"Um…yeah, actually I am." I said sarcastically.

"You've been sick, baby?" Edward wrapped his arm around me and pulled me to him almost possessively but with concern in his voice.

I looked up at him sweetly. "Don't worry, I am feeling better now." Edward didn't have to know that I came down with a fake illness today. For all he assumed I had been sick over the past two days he hadn't talked to me.

"So how did you two love birds meet?" Jacob tilted his chin upward sharply.

I swear I started to tell him the truth and be all. "I met him the day I found out YOU had LIED to ME! I ran into the woods that YOU told me NOT to go into. Edward found me and swept me right off of my damn feet." But I kept it very vague instead by saying "We met in a very typical Bella Swan way. I fell, Edward helped me up and the rest was history."

Edward smiled at me while Jacob continued to smirk. What did it matter to him anyway? I met someone and he should be happy for me. I didn't like to be lied to but if the tables were turned and Jake blew me off for a girl, I wouldn't be acting like a bitch. Yes, of course I would be mad because he lied but if he was happy with the girl he ditched me for, how could I be mad at her?

"So, Jacob, you live on the reservation?" I don't remember telling him that? Edward tried to make small talk but Jacob could have cared less. He only answered with a quick

"Yep!" Popping his lips on the p.

I decided to add my two cents into the one sided conversation. "Jacob, when you gonna let me drive the bike again?"

"Whenever you want, Bells. I have been working on it some today. I replaced all the plugs and filters and changed the oil. She's ready whenever you are."

"You have a motorcycle? That's pretty cool man. My Dad used to have a Harley."

"Is that right?" Jacob's eyes lit up at where this conversation was going.

I sighed in relief as I listened to them compete about knowledge they knew of motorcycles. I hated Jacob was being so cocky but glad that Edward was giving him a run for his money. I don't know why Jacob seemed not to like Edward, even though he was carrying on a conversation with him now. Maybe once he calmed down from being mad at me, he would be nicer to Edward and drop the whole big brother attitude. Until he finds out what Edward hunts.

Geez, I didn't know how this was ever going to work. How in the hell am I going to keep Edward from trapping werewolves, keep Jacob from finding out and keep Edward from finding out that the guy he just so happens to be talking with right now is indeed a werewolf and just so happens to be my best friend as well? I'm screwed. And Edward thought he was the one fucked up. This whole situation is about as fucked up as it can get.

Jacob rose from Charlie's recliner. "Well, I guess I better get going. Edward it was nice to meet you. Bella, I will talk to you later, I guess." He started towards the door and I followed him, leaving Edward sitting on the couch by himself. Edward had resumed the volume on the TV, for which I was thankful.

Jacob stopped at the door and turned to face me. "I'm glad you are feeling better, Bells." He sneered.

"Jacob, I-"I tried to explain but he just held his hand up and walked out the door. I didn't want to argue with him but I did want him to let me apologize for lying about being sick, so I followed him out the door.

"Jacob, will you please wait." I called after him.

When he reached his car, he leaned up against it, crossed his arms and snapped. "Go ahead, Bells. I'm listening."

"I really wasn't sick." I confessed.

"No shit!" he rolled his eyes.

"Why are being such an ass? It's not like you haven't lied to me before…remember?" I crossed my arms. He knew I was talking about Mike.

"I didn't lie, I just withheld information." He replied.

"Same difference! If I withheld information from you, you would be pissed at that too." We stared at each other.

"Are you hiding something Bella?" he asked slowly. I didn't answer him. "Is there something about Edward that I should know?" He looked torn. There was no way he was certain I knew about Edward hunting werewolves. Howbeit, I had a suspicion that Jake knew all about Edward and was testing to see if I did as well. Now sure wasn't the time to fess up.

"I don't know what you mean." I acted dumb but was afraid that Jacob already knew more than I thought he knew.

"I need to talk to you." His nose flared as he pursed his lips together. He pushed off the car and opened the door. "But now is not the time." He slammed the door and sped away leaving me feeling like shit!

I couldn't keep lying to him or withholding information. It would hurt him worse if he found out I consciously knew Edward hunts werewolves and decided to date him anyway. There was no way around it. I was going to have to tell Jacob the whole truth and nothing but.

Jacob had never interfered with my relationships. I don't know what had gotten into him? He got along great with Riley. Of course Mike was a douche and Jacob did me a favor on that one. But why? Why does he feel the sudden urge to protect me from every guy out there?

I tried to hide any look of disappointment on my face as I sat back down beside of Edward.

"He seems…" Edward puffed his cheeks out.

"Like an asshole?" I lost my resolve of trying to act like Jacob and I hadn't had words.

"I was going to say nice, but okay?" He pulled me to him again. "How about you forget about whatever tiff you and Jacob seem to be having and pick up where we left off." He nibbled my ear. Okay that seems fair.

I straddled his lap and poured all my anger out into our kiss. I wasted no time at letting him know how I wanted to forget. I placed my hand between us and grabbed his growing erection, taking him off guard.

He growled into my mouth and I began to tear his clothes off, in a hurry. I hadn't heard him growl like that since the night I met him but it did something to me. Something I can't explain. It sounded so wicked and feral, needy and wanting, it lit me up like a damn firecracker.

I had removed Edward's shirt and his pants were at his knees when the fucking doorbell rang. "Motherfuckingshit!" I'm about to cut a damn bitch so help me God!

"Bella! It's me Rosalie." I heard her call from outside the window. That's it I'm getting Charlie's gun!

Edward chuckled, fucking chuckled, as he went to grab at his pants.

"Coming!" I called to Rosalie. I wished I were coming!

I stopped Edward from fastening his pants. "Don't you fucking dare." I kissed him hard. "Wait for me in my room. It's up the stairs to the right."

I grabbed Rosalie's ear rings and headed toward the door and Edward took the stairs two at a time holding on to his pants so they wouldn't fall off since they weren't fastened.

I opened the front door and thrust the ear rings toward her. "Here ya go. Glad you stopped by. See ya later." I tried to shut the door back but she caught it laughing.

"What are up to in there, Bella?" She wiggled her eyebrows.

"I'm trying to get laid but people keep showing up." I told her.

"Thanks for finding my ear rings. Love ya! I'll call you later so you can feel me in." She called over her shoulder as she walked away.

"Yeah, you do that." I murmured. "Drive carefully." I called out as she was getting in her car.

"Yeah, you make sure you ride carefully!" She joked as she shut her car door.

I didn't even wait until she was driving away before I locked the door and raced up the stairs to find Edward. He was sitting with his back against the head board waiting on me.

"I thought I told you to leave these off." I tugged at his pants that were still unfastened.

"Damn! I don't know what has got you all bossy but if it's Jacob. You need to STAY pissed at him!" Hmm? That sound like an intriguing thought at the moment. He watched me with hooded eyes as I took his pants off. I don't know if he ever wore underwear but damn it was one less garment I had to worry about.

"You like angry sex?" I purred. I was standing beside the bed stripping my clothes off as fast as I could.

"If it's you giving it to me I do!" His eyes roamed my body.

I crawled on top of him. "Hmm. What else do you like?" I asked as I rubbed my wet slit over the head of his dick.

"You can be demanding and talk dirty? Shit Bella." He thrust against me. "I'm going to fuck you hard. Would you like that baby?" He ran his hands down my sides and gripped my hips firmly, pressing me against him.

"You can't fuck me too hard if I am the one in control now can you?" I pushed his shoulders hard against the headboard and then slid onto him in one swift movement. His eyes squeezed shut as he hissed between his teeth and clutched my ass with his strong hands. "Oh God, you're so fucking hard." I slid up and down his extremely hard length, setting a steady pace.

He used his hands to lift my ass then he slammed me back down on to him and I screamed out in pleasure. "You want to know what I like?" He grunted. "I like this." He effortlessly lifted my hips again and repeated the movement, making him moan loudly and me scream again.

I started to ride him faster. He kissed me roughly, his tongue dipped into my mouth and I sucked on it. I don't know what came over me. I have never had the desire to suck a tongue but shit if it wasn't the most erotic thing I have ever felt. He thrust his hips upward making me ride him harder. I clenched a fist full of his hair and he moaned into my mouth then abruptly pulled his mouth from mine.

"I like hearing you cry out loud." He lifted my hips and slammed into me as he brought me down to meet his thrust. I screamed his name and dug my nails into his shoulder. I don't know how he had taken back over the control I thought I had, but he had. He used my body like a rag doll, lifting me and slamming me back down on him with ease. We were both panting and moaning in pure delight. Every time he would thrust me hard onto him I would scream. Damn it felt good and I would scream out before I even recognized what I was doing.

"You like making me scream your name, baby?" I panted as I continued to ride him frantically. I was so close and I could tell he was too.

"Fuck yeeeeessss!" He cried out and I exploded around him crying out his name like it was the last damn word I would ever utter. "Yeah…fuuuuuccck…just like that." He thrust upward one more time before filling me with his warmth.

I felt his arms wrap around me as I fell against his shoulder breathing hard and trying to catch my breath before I passed out from lack of oxygen. He kissed my hair. "I wasn't too rough with you was I?" He asked in a soothing voice.

All I could do was smile against his shoulder and let out a breathy laugh. Hell, he had fucked me so good I couldn't even form words to talk or answer him back.

"Bella?" He questioned. Bella? Oh yeah, that's me. God where had my mind gone? He had the power to fuck me wordless and senseless?

"I'm good." I mouthed against his shoulder. He pulled me off of him and slid us down the bed to lay side by side. I tried to flex my muscles but they were still like jelly from the mind blowing orgasm he had just given me. Wordless, senseless and immobile? Hot damn, I am a mess.

"You are absolutely breathtaking. Do you have any idea what you do to me?" He kissed the tip of my nose.

I blew a puff of air upward from my lips and blew a stray hair out of my face. "Beautiful" He whispered and caressed my jaw with the pad of his thumb. If he thought that was beautiful maybe he was senseless too?

We lay in each other's arms as long as possible. I knew Charlie was due home any minute and I couldn't stand the thought of Edward leaving my room but I wanted him alive and well, not buried in the back yard by Charlie if he was to find us like this.

"I should go." He finally whispered. I groaned and whined sounding like a little baby. "I know." He said. "I don't want to ever move from this spot either…but Charlie, I'm sure, wouldn't approve of me shagging his baby girl." His fingers walked up and down my bare back.

We pulled ourselves away and said our goodbyes just in time. Edward hadn't been gone five minutes when Charlie walked through the front door.

I woke up early this morning to the sound of Charlie puking. It was around 6 am when I finally got him situated and back in the bed. There was no way he was going to work in his condition even though he fought me on it. And there was no way I could leave him here alone this weekend to fend for him sick, feeble self. As bad as I wanted to leave and go with Edward this evening, I just couldn't. Charlie needed me.

It was Wednesday when Edward met Jacob and all hell had broke loose. I haven't heard from or talked to Jacob since then. I figured I would let him cool off a bit so we could talk rationally and calmly about Edward. Last night after Edward dropped me off from our dinner date, I decided that I was definitely going to go ahead and tell Jacob what I knew about Edward. I didn't need this situation getting any more complicated than it already was. I decided I didn't want to withhold any information from Jacob. He was my best friend and he had a right to know about Edward's intentions. I just hope this all didn't come back to bite me in the ass.

As soon as the sun came up, I called Edward and asked if we could eat breakfast at the diner because I had to talk to him. He said that was great because he had to talk to me about something too.

"Dad." I cracked open his bedroom door and he groaned. "I'm going to town. I will be back in about an hour I promise. Will you be okay? Do you need anything while I am out?"

He mumbled something I couldn't understand. "I really wish you would let me take you to the doctor." I said as I walked over to him. He shook his head no at me and I knew I was fighting a loosing battle. "Well at least tell me what I can do for you?" I had no idea how to take care of a sick man. I had never even seen Charlie this sick.

"You can pick me up some sprite and crackers?" He mumbled.

"Sure Dad." I kissed his cheek and placed a fresh glass of water on his night stand before leaving.

"So, you said you needed to talk to me?" I raised my eyebrow.

"You go first." He dazzled me with his charming smile.

"Well." I hesitated. "Charlie is extremely sick and I am going to stay home and take care of him, which means I won't be able to go with you." I pouted.

He almost looked relieved. "I'm sorry your dad is sick, babe…but I understand." He reached across the table and placed his hand on top of mine.

"I tried to talk to him about going to the doctor but he won't listen. The man is stubborn as a mule." I began to explain Charlie's illness to Edward.

"Maybe it is just some bad stomach bug that he can't shake. I am sure he will be fine, Bella."

"Oh my God!" Rosalie chimed appearing out of nowhere. "I'm on a mini break so I gotta make this quick." I scooted over letting her sit beside of me.

"What is it Rose?" I asked.

She was all giddy and I was afraid she might actual squeal with excitement at any moment. "Okay, so you know that hot guy I was telling you about?"

"Which one?" I laughed and she slapped my arm.

"The one that keeps coming into the diner." She gushed.

"That still doesn't tell me anything. We could do this all day… Which guy?" I teased her.

She rolled her eyes. "The really hot one that stares at me but never says anything, you dipshit!"

I took a bite of my toast. "Oh the blonde guy. What about him?"

"Oh my gosh! Let me make this clear." She was getting annoyed not realizing I was just playing her. I knew which guy she was talking about. "I am talking about the hunk of a man with brown hair, amber colored eyes, dimples that make me go weak in the knees when he smiles and muscles that I just want to reach out and bite. Although he would think I was some kind of freak if I just randomly bit him." She tossed her hair as she spoke. "But anyway, he looks like a big ole teddy bear and I just want to squeeze the shit out of him." She sighed dreamingly.

Edward shook his head and smiled at Rosalie. "I don't know." He said. "Some guys are into biting."

"Really?" Rosalie gasped and placed her hand across her chest in shock.

I rolled my eyes at Edward and told him to leave her alone. "So what about the guy?" I asked.

"Oh. Yeah. So he came in this morning, just like he does every Friday morning, except this time he winked at me. I thought 'Forget this shit! I've waited this long for a wink, I'm sure as hell not waiting another week for him to talk to me.' So…" She smiled brightly. "I threw off my apron and marched over to the corner booth and sat right down and started talking to him."

"That's great." I congratulated her. "What did he say?"

She looked at me all serious. "You may think I am blowing smoke up your ass when I say this but…I have never heard a speaking voice as alluring as his. And hot damn if he didn't smell absolutely divine." She closed her eyes and inhaled like she was remembering the scent of him. "I introduced myself and he told me his name was Drew and he didn't live around here but was in town on business nearly every weekend and then he started flirting with me."

In town on business every weekend? What the hell? In the town of Forks? Really?

Edward must have been thinking the same thing because he spoke up and asked. "Did he say what kind of business? I am not trying to discourage you here Rosalie but there isn't much business going on in the town of Forks."

"Oh yeah." She waved her hand dismissively. "He said the hospital was short staffed and he lingered in the local hotel on call all weekend."

"So he's a doctor?" I asked wondering if Rosalie even paid attention to anything the man had said or if she gawked at his looks the entire time she was talking to him.

"I guess." She shrugged. Dear God. He could be an axe murderer for all I know. Hell, he could have confessed to murder and Rosalie probably would have laughed and dismissed it. "He said he came from a family of doctors. Both of his parents were in the medical field and it just kind of grew on him too…actually he said that he came from a long line of doctors, except his brother was apparently some kind of music nerd…random, don't you think?"

Edward stopped eating and pushed his food away, eyeing Rosalie like she had lost her damn mind or something.

"He probably hides out on call with an axe." I blurted out.

"What? No. Doctors don't need axes Bella. Don't they have like surgical saws and stuff?" She argued.

I swear to my never!

"Ooh. I gotta get back to work." She jumped up and made her way back behind the counter. Edward and I just stared at each other, both of us clearly worried about Rosalie's perception…sanity…both?

By the time I convinced Charlie to drink some broth and take some Tylenol for his fever, I was wishing I had left him here to fend for himself and went on with Edward anyway. The man was head strong even when he was delirious with fever. It's hard to take care of someone who acts like they don't need your help at all. If he didn't hurry up and get to feeling better, I may just have to call the axe carrying doctor that was in town on business for the weekend.

As always, it was nearly 10:00 and I wasn't the tiniest bit sleepy. I grabbed a book and headed downstairs to curl up on the couch. I had barely got comfortable and there was a loud knock on the front door. What the hell?

I walked stealthy quiet over to the window and peered out. When I saw Jacob's car parked in the street I let out a breath of air that I didn't realize I was holding. I opened the front door and Jacob zoomed by me without a word. Hello to you too.

I shut the door and joined him in the living room. He was standing beside of the coffee table. I stuffed my hands into my pockets and shifted my weight uncomfortably. "What's up?" I asked.

He smirked at me. "What's up? You tell me what's up Bella?" He threw something down on the coffee table. "Look familiar?" He pointed.

My eyes slowly traveled to the black object that he was pointing at. Holy hell. He found Edward's hunting camera…

A/N: *hides behind computer* I had to split this up into two chapters so forgive me for the cliffie. I promise the next chapter I will not leave you hanging on the edge of your seat. I know you all have questions that want answering like right now and believe me I am just as anxious to write it. My fingers are twitching in anticipation to write more. However, there is only so many hours in the day and hardly any of them are dedicated "ME" time. Unfortunately I have to feed, bathe and take care of my four children…cook, clean and take care of my house as well. And somewhere in the midst of all that, I shower, eat, use the bathroom and read and write fanfic. Oh and I decorate cakes too. Yeah, it's exhausting but I love it!

On a good note, I am almost finished with the next chapter. Yay! My next update will be within a few days ;)

Thank you once again to you gals that are leaving reviews. I flove you all. Tracy- I hope you enjoyed the lemon babe and thought it made up for the cockblocking ;) Thanks for the inspiration, doll.

My newest o/s is up. Hurry go read. It's some hot limo lovin /s/6673476/Board_Games
