Chapter 11:
I had rushed upstairs to change into my jean shorts and a lavender camisole. I ran a brush through my hair and examined the developing mark on my neck where Jake had bit and sucked. I smiled slightly at the thought of it.
Paul and I are on our way to my guarding territory. When we get a few feet from the house, I start conversation. For some reason, I didn't feel comfortable talking about the things I was sure we would talk about. As we look I keep stealing glances at him, trying to read him, he was hard to read sometimes.
"What kind of things have you been thinking about me Paul Lahote?" I ask him curiously.
"You know what kind of things based on Jake's reaction." He smirked to me.
"You know he gets jealous." I say calmly, Paul flirted with almost everyone; it wasn't shocking that he had dirty thoughts about me. He was constantly horny and I had become so that it didn't have an effect on me anymore. Some girls still took it personally, but I knew that was just who Paul was, temper and sex twenty-four/seven.
"It was before you guys became official." He says carelessly. He suddenly stops, and I stop and look at him. His hands go to each of my upper arms and he squeezes them hard. I yelp slightly from pain and shock. He leads me to walk backwards until my back is against a rough, hard surface. "Not that you guys are official yet right? You both have no idea what you are." He smirks to me. One of his hands goes to my stomach and pushes it to hold me in place. His other hand starts traveling down my arm. "So really, I could do whatever I wanted with you. He hasn't claimed you as his yet." I bite my bottom lip nervously. He wouldn't. I continued to tell myself but there was a slight doubt that knew that sometimes Paul was impulsive and didn't think and he went with his desires without thinking about the consequences. The pack takes mating seriously. When two people mate they have practically mated for life, the exception of course being imprinting, like with Leah and Sam.
"Don't." I whisper to him. He smirks to me.
"I've thought about this moment before, it kind of driven Jake crazy. Instead of you saying don't, you beg me to take you right here." Paul whispers as his hand travels down and caresses my backside. I gasp when he squeezes it gently. "I've seen you and Jake together. It isn't hard to understand what makes you want something." He whispers and his hand travels up my body, I close my eyes and try to pretend that I am not really here. His hand caresses my breast gently. I wait for a squeeze like before but it doesn't come. I open my eyes and meet his powerful stare. I worry because I don't know if he is teasing or if he's serious. "If I were Jake, I would have taken you that first night at the wedding; I would have ripped your dress to shreds and watched as you trembled beneath me. What no witty remark Melaine?" He smirks to me. I shiver a little between him and the tree.
"Sad thing is, I want Jake and not you." I retort. "You can have your fantasies Paul, but you can't claim me."
"If I tried hard enough I could make you beg for me." He smirks.
"I'm sure you could. I bet you'd be mind-blowing." I say sarcastically.
"You forget how I see the way you react to a touch." He says, he squeezes my breast and I gasp. "Sometimes, lust can overpower love." He whispers to me and leans closer daring to kiss me.
"Not for me Paul. I'm sorry." I say sincerely. I did feel bad for him, his parents had divorced and he needed so badly to be happy. I could see that. I'm sorry that I can't be that person for him. Underneath the jerk, there's still that fragile kid who watched as his mother left his father and him with nothing, not even a goodbye.
He pulls away and sighs. "It was worth a shot kid." He smirked to me. I smile a little relieved. I push off the tree and start walking. He soon joins me. "I am an amazing fucker." He smirks.
"I have no doubt about that. It's just… it's Jake, and I love him." I say to Paul and I realize I haven't said it to Jake yet. He told me at the wedding but I had gotten so caught up that I'd never told him. It never came up again really; I never thought to tell him. I regret that immensely now.
Paul and I continue to walk until we get to the territory. Once we get there we are greeted with another visitor.
