Part Ten

Bella could not tear her eyes away from Jacob's. She felt like she was drowning in the dark pools. She could see the hurt and fear just below the surface and she wanted to erase the look of worry from his face. She finally managed to drop her eyes and they fell on the letter. A rare feeling of anger at Edward surged through her veins. He sounded so pompous and sure of himself. Did he really see her that way, like some foolish human girl who had no control over her actions? Picking up the letter, she studied the words written in his fine script. Even that belonged in another era. Without realising it Bella scrunched up the paper in her hands and threw it aside.

Jacob had been watching the play of emotions crossing her face. He gazed at her curiously as he saw her frown and then she was biting her lip, a sure sign that she was over thinking things. He let her sort herself out and was rewarded for his patience when she screwed up the letter. His eyes followed as it hit the floor.

"Bells tell me what you're thinking honey," Jacob ventured to ask.

Bella did not answer him. Instead she crawled across the bed and into his lap. His arms automatically embraced her and he held her close. Without warning Bella took the initiative and smashed her lips against his. Jacob responded instantly and they kissed each other wildly. Falling back onto the bed Jacob pulled Bella on top of him, so she was sitting astride his body. He gazed into her eyes, he could see the desire shining from them. Grinning widely Jacob yanked her down and started to place open mouthed kisses along her neck and collarbone.

"Mmm Jake that feels amazing." Bella shifted about as his lips made her passion rise. She ground her hips down on him, making Jacob moan.

"Bells you're driving me crazy honey."

"Good, "she murmured. "That's how I feel all the time."

Jacob had his hand under her t-shirt and was gently stroking her breast. She pushed herself against him so that she could feel how turned on he was. Lust overtook them both and Jacob started to pull her t-shirt up her body as he kissed his way along the bottom of her chest. When the cold air hit her body, reality kicked in. Bella pulled away and rolled so that she was lying by Jacob's side.

"What's wrong?" he asked huskily.

"It's not safe here Jake. We need to go somewhere where he won't be. I can't do this. What if he just comes in while we are in the middle of...?" Bella's face flushed red at the thought.

"I am so sick of that leech ruining everything. All he ever does is come between us Bells. I feel like I want to march down to the Cullen's crypt and k..."

Bella stopped his tirade with a tender kiss. Jacob sighed into her mouth and moved his lips against hers softly.

"Come on Jake, let's go. I agree with you okay, reading that letter has made me...I feel so angry at the way he worded things. He makes me seem like an infant who has to be...ugh is that how he sees me. When I think back on everything we have all been through I could... God, what I am trying to say is I am glad you came and rescued me Jacob." Bella finally said.

Jacob chuckled at her words. "At last she sees the light. Do you know how long I have been trying to tell you what a controlling, domineering, lying son of a bitch he really is?"

Bella remained silent as she rose from the bed. She adjusted her clothes and made her way to her wardrobe. Flinging open the door she retrieved her backpack from within and started shoving underwear, clothes and toiletries inside.

"I take it you are planning on staying at mine for a while then." Jacob could not keep the huge grin from spreading across his face.

Bella rolled her eyes at him and suddenly chucked the overfull backpack in his direction. He caught it just before it hit him in the face. Bella shook her head, she should have known his supernatural reflexes would give him an advantage. She watched as the smug grin spread across his lips. Well he could feel superior but later Bella would show him who was on top. Her face heated up at the thought of what she planned to try later on.

The two of them eventually made their way down the stairs and out of the front door. Bella's backpack was slung over Jacob's shoulder and he was carrying a bag full of food that Bella had swiped from the pantry in the other. She planned on cooking her father and Billy a large meal. In her mind she thought that a way to a man's heart was through his stomach, well she knew that was true with Jacob anyway.

Jacob carefully sniffed the air and Bella had to keep her face straight at the expression on his face as he made sure there was no fresh leech stink in the air. Declaring himself satisfied Jake smiled down at Bella and then to her surprise he started to frown.

"Jake? What's wrong now?" Bella asked fearfully. She glanced around, expecting Edward to jump out of the bushes and kidnap her at any moment. The thought that she was scared of what Edward might do made her pause. It was the first time she had ever acknowledged to herself that he sometimes made her uneasy.

"I was just wondering how we are going to get back quickly. We have no transport and if I carry you in my human form it could take too long sooooooo...I was thinkin' maybe if you are up for it..."

"What Jake?" Bella said impatiently.

"How do you feel about taking a ride with me but in my wolf form?" Jacob glanced at Bella, waiting with baited breath for her answer.

Bella's eyes widened at his suggestion. Her mind ran through all of the dangerous possibilities. What if she fell off? What would happen if Jacob ran too fast? She suffered with motion sickness, she didn't want to puke all over him. She started to bite her lip in agitation.

Jacob could see her fretting. He knew what was running through her mind because he could always read her like an open book. "Bells it will be alright I promise. I would never let anything happen to you. So why are you worried huh?"

Bella smiled back at him and shrugged her shoulders. "Okay then. Let's roll."

Jacob laughed at her attempt at bravery and leaning down he gave her an affectionate kiss on the lips."You're too cute, do you know that Bells."

Bella watched as Jacob ran for the trees that surrounded the Swan property. Picking up the backpack and the bag of food Bella followed after him. It was dark within the trees and she had to wait for her eyes to adjust to the gloom. A low growl made her turn swiftly. Standing behind her, standing in all his magnificent glory, stood the russet toned figure of Jacob's wolf.

"You are so beautiful," Bella breathed as she stared at him.

Jacob approached her cautiously and lying down gently next to her, gave her time to adjust to his new form. Bella walked slowly forward and reaching out a trembling hand she gently caressed Jacob's flanks. A sound almost like a cat's purr rumbled through Jacob's body at her touch and feeling bolder Bella literally buried both of her hands in his thick fur.

"Jake you are so warm and wow you smell so amazing. This is...I can't tell you the dreams I used to have of you in this..." Bella shut her mouth instantly as Jacob's wolf head whipped round and his large brown eyes stared at her intently.

Bella's face had turned a dark shade of red as another of her fantasies about Jacob had slipped out without her thinking. How did he always mange to catch her off guard?

"Look forget I said anything okay. We need to get moving anyway." Bella tried to downplay her slip but Jacob just huffed and shook his head at her. Bella knew they would be having another discussion later. She gave a heavy sigh.

Reaching down Bella pulled the backpack onto her shoulders and adjusted the straps to fit tightly, she then tied the bag of food to the bottom of one of the straps. Jacob flattened his body to the floor so that Bella could scramble onto his back. He winced as she tugged on his fur as she clumsily crawled her way up. She sat astride his back and grasped two large tufts of fur around his neck. She then squeezed her thighs against him making the human in Jacob shiver with desire. Trying to put that thought to the back of his mind he rose up carefully and trotted off into the dense forest.

As Jacob's speed increased Bella flattened her body closer to his back and nestled into his warm fur. This was much better than the way Edward used to carry her on his back. Then she would feel sea sick and unbalanced, but riding atop Jacob felt smooth and warm .She opened her eyes and watched in awe as the trees sped by in a blur as he stretched his legs and really sprinted for La Push.

They arrived back within fifteen minutes. Bella felt Jacob slow down as she started to recognise the landmarks leading up to his house. He suddenly drew to halt just within the tree line outside his house. Flattening his body down as he had previously, Bella slipped easily from his back. The large russet wolf then stepped back a few paces and right before Bella's eyes, its form shimmered and when she blinked again, Jake was standing before her in all his naked glory.

Bella's eyes travelled up his well muscled legs, to his thighs and she couldn't take her gaze off of his broad muscular chest and his biceps. Eventually she reached his face and she stared in wonder at his full mouth and dark eyes. She swallowed nervously and she could sense that Jacob could smell and feel how turned on she was at the sight of him.

"Honey are you...?" Jacob whispered huskily.

Bella just nodded and after dropping the backpack and food onto the dirt floor, she made her way over to him. Reaching up she placed her hands on his arms and traced her fingers along his biceps and up onto his neck until they stopped on his face.

"Jake?"

"Yeah."

"You know that other fantasy I used to have about you..."

"Mmmm..." Jacob had dropped his head and was already kissing his way sensuously along Bella's neck as she angled it to one side to give him better access.

"Do you think you would like to..." Bella's eyes closed as desire overwhelmed her and she pressed her body closer to Jacob.

"Hell yeah." Jacob whispered as he pulled Bella against his heated frame as they tumbled to the forest floor.

A/N-Happy New Year everyone!
