I do not own Twilight
Feel
There's a light
A certain kind of light
That never shone on me
I want my life to be lived with you
Lived with you
To Love Somebody – Bee Gees
Leah lay on her side, her palm tucked near her ear as she stared over him. He was asleep, his lips parted only slightly, his lashes against his cheeks, his chest moving evenly with each breath he took. The white hue of the sheets seemed to illuminate against his russett skin and his dark hair as it wrapped loosely around his waist.
With a trembling hand Leah raised her arm and let her palm hover over his face. With invisible strokes, she traced the air around him as if outlining his form, making sure to see everything, breathe everything. With her hand being millimeters away from his skin, she could still feel his aura and the heat that radiated up from his skin.
Carefully she sat up a little more, taking in every detail of him as the sun cast through the small window. The way his hair was cut unevenly on the right side, the way his lip creased on the bottom almost mimicking the dimple in his chin. The small beauty mark on his throat, so light and hidden she had to squint her eyes to see. The way his ears where small and his cheeks held a natural blush even when slept. The way his esophagus would shift under his skin as he swallowed and the way his shoulder would flex every now and then.
Smiling to herself Leah pressed a finger lightly to the middle of his forehead, tracing it down between his brows, over the bridge of his nose, across his lips, before letting it fall down his chin. It was hard to believe that someone so young, could be so beautiful. She smiled wider thinking of the word beautiful, which was predominantly reserved for females. But there was just no other way to describe him. He was truly beautiful.
Continuing her journey down, Leah's finger dragged across the middle of his breast bone, rippled along his stomach, slowly inching it's way down.
She let out a startled shriek, as Jacob caught her hand in his own before she could slip it under the sheet. Shooting her eyes up to his face, she saw the smile that spread quickly there, lighting up his entire demeanor.
With a firm hold still on her hand, Jacob peeked an eye open and looked over to her, her eyes wide and her cheeks coloured with a blush.
"Morning" She squeaked, diverting her eyes and trying to look away from him, ashamed that she'd be caught openly ogling his body and touching him while he was asleep.
"Morning beautiful" He replied, leaning down to brush his lips against her own. He took his time to turn her wrist slowly and place his large fingers through the gaps of her hand. Smiling and keeping his eyes locked with hers, he raised her hand and let his mouth move softly over the skin of her wrist to her elbow. "I felt you" He whispered, moving back up to kiss her palm.
"Well, I was touching you" She said sarcastically, trying to keep the image of being a hard ass instead of turning into a complete softy because of him.
"No-" He he said shaking his head and laying her hand back down on the bed before raising his hand to hover over her cheek. Immediately Leah felt light headed, her eyes dropping down some and her head automatically leaning towards his hand.
Pulling it away so her face couldn't touch his hand he smiled. "No. I could feel you before you touched me" He said softly, using his hand to trace the air near her face, as if cupping her cheek. "Can you feel me Leah?" He whispered, his face leaning towards hers making sure not to have any part of them touching.
Moving her hand up, as Jacob pulled his back towards his body, they lay still and watched as their hands hovered in front of them, their skin not touching, but still feeling the immense pull toward each other, as if they were.
"Yeah" She smiled, licking her bottom lip. "I can feel you"
"Do you know what is in between our hands?" Jacob asked with a smug smirk, challenging Leah to answer him. "If you get it right, I'll kiss you"
"Resorting to bribes now Black?" Leah chuckled, her eyes glancing to their hands. "Gravity?" She answered, her brow raising in anticipation to find out if she had gotten it right, after all she really did want the kiss.
"No?" Jacob breathed, shaking his head. "It's - It's love. From my fingertips to yours. From my heart to your heart." Leaning down he captured her lips and cupped her face, needing to actually feel her skin.
Pulling away Leah punched his chest. "You're such a dick" She laughed.
Her laugh shot up as he growled and pinned her on her back, her hands locked under his grasp and his legs either side of her body, straddling her waist. "And you're a bitch, but I love you anyway."
Leaning forward he kissed her softly - her lips, her cheeks, her eyes, her forehead. He continued down - her jaw, her neck, her collar bone, her ribs and everywhere. Even when there was nothing left to kiss, he continued to do so, with his lips brushly against her skin, his eyes closed and his heart open.
