Gavin's POV

Two months later…

I gently awoke from my peaceful sleep with my head nestled in the crook of Jake's neck. It had been a long while since I had slept through the night without being shaken awake by Jake. My overwhelming dreams had caused me to shriek into the darkness of his room at the early hours of the morning.

I took in a deep breath, clenching my muscles as I breathed in Jake's wonderful scent. Exhaling, I relaxed into him, wiggling the fingers of my right hand to rest in his left armpit. I lay like this for a moment then rose up to press my lips to Jake's jaw line. It had been so long since I had kissed him. My parents' death had crushed my spirits and all motives of giving Jake the love he deserved. He did everything he could to make me happy, even if I chose to ignore his efforts. It was my turn to love him unconditionally and thank him for everything he's done for me.

"I love you so much, Jacob." I whispered against the skin of his neck.

"Mm, Baby." Jake groaned, his arms wrapping themselves tighter around my waist. He gave my waist one last squeeze before relaxing, his head falling to the side. I pressed my nose into Jake's neck, chuckling lightly at his unconscious state. I was finally beginning to feel more like myself. I pressed my lips one last time to Jake's jaw line before gently removing myself from his arms. I crawled off the bed and plucked William from the nightstand before entering the bathroom. I flipped on the light and quietly closed the door. After turning the dial on the shower to warm, I stepped out of my boxers and pulled my t-shirt over my head. I placed William on the bathroom counter before climbing into the shower.

I wrapped a green towel tightly around my waist as I stepped from the shower. The whole experience had been a blur, my thoughts drowning my senses. I wasn't sure if I shampooed or soaped, but the hot water on my skin felt incredible with my returning happiness. I clutched William tightly to my chest as I exited the bathroom. I looked to Jake's sleeping form and sighed to myself. I shuffled to our shared closet and quietly pulled open the doors. I dropped the towel to my ankles and plucked a pair of blue boxers from a basket that sat on the floor of the closet, sliding them over my legs to rest against my hips.

"Mm, baby cakes, you're so gorgeous." Jake mumbled from the bed as I pulled one of his gray sweatshirts over my head.

"Baby cakes?" I chuckled, turning towards him. He had a silly grin on his face as he stared at me with tired eyes.

"That's what I said." Jake smiled, sitting up against the head board. I smiled back at him before hopping onto the bed beside him. I pressed a sloppy kiss to his cheek, swinging a leg over his waist. I sat back on his thighs, my hands resting themselves on his hips.

"Somebody's happy this morning." Jake observed, wrapping his hands around my wrists, rubbing his thumbs over my skin.

"It feels good." I sighed, sliding my hands up his bare chest. Jake moved his hands to rest on my hips as mine clutched his shoulders. I pressed my lips to his before relaxing my body atop his.

"God, I didn't realize how much I missed that." Jake breathed as he pulled from the kiss. I chuckled lightly at his statement, placing sloppy kisses down his neck. I rested my head on his shoulder after reaching his collarbone.

"I've missed it too." I sighed, allowing Jake's hands to slide under my sweatshirt. He pressed his lips to my forehead as his fingers began to massage the strained muscles of my back. I hadn't realized how tense I was until Jake's fingers sent me into a coma.

"I love you so much, Gavin. You have no idea how excited I am that you're feeling better." he whispered, wrapping his strong arms around my waist.

"I love you more." I smiled, cupping a hand around his neck.

"You did not just say that." Jake laughed, his vocal cords vibrating against my palm.

"Oh, but I did." I chuckled, planting a kiss under his chin.

"Well," he began, flipping us over so he could straddle my waist. "That's the biggest lie I've ever heard."

"How so?" I questioned, my smile lines throbbing.

"Because it's totally obvious that I love you way more than you love me." I rolled my eyes before gripping his shoulders and pushing him onto his back. I wrapped my fingers around his wrists and pressed them to the comforter above his head, leaning into him so our noses were pressed together.

"Now that is the lie of the century, my dear." I breathed against his lips. Jake leaned up for a kiss, but I quickly pressed down on his wrists and dodged it.

"No fair!" Jake whined, pouting his bottom lip.

"Just admit that I love you more." I smirked.

"Never." he growled, furrowing his eyebrows and attempting to release his wrists from my grip, but I just pressed them further into the mattress. Then, the last thing I expected happened. Jake glared deep into my eyes before relaxing beneath me and turning his gaze away from mine. I looked down to his anger stricken profile with disbelief. I sat back on Jake's thighs and released his wrists, rubbing my fingers into the back of my neck.

"Baby, don't be mad at me." I spoke, a lump forming in my throat. His angered features turned to face me and they slowly relaxed into a smile.

"Sucker." Jake breathed, before quickly gripping my biceps and rolling us over. He held me down at my elbows and pressed his shins into my thighs, securing me to the bed.

"I'm sorry, Baby." he chuckled, pressing his nose to the skin of my neck.

"For once, will I ever get to win?" I sighed.

"Gavin," Jake whispered, pressing his lips to the shell of my ear. "you always win."

"Do not." I huffed.

"Fine." he said, sitting back to look at me. "I'll let you win, but just this once."

"So you agree that I love you more?" I smiled up at him.

"No," he chuckled, leaning back on his heels and falling back onto the pillows. "but," he leaned forward and gripped my wrists, pulling me on top of him. "I'll let you be on top for once."

"You're an ass." I laughed, pecking him on the lips.

"Hey, I'm letting you win, you should be nice to me." he smiled, placing his hands behind his head. I used this opportunity to strike him in the sides with my pointer fingers. Jake shrieked but I continued to poke my fingers into his sensitive sides. He burst into laughter and begged me to stop. Nevertheless, I continued to playfully torture him. Jake wrapped his arms around my shoulders and pulled me tight against his chest in attempt to stop me. My fingers ignored his efforts and played along his ribs as if they were piano keys.

"Gavin!" Jake gasped. "Please!"

"What? What was that? You want me to stop?" I teased, continuing to tickle him.

"Yes! Please Gavin! You win!"

"I don't believe you." I sang.

"I'll do anything, please!" Jake said between laughs.

"Anything?" I asked.

"Anything!" he shouted. I immediately stopped my attack on his sides and fought my way out of his grip. Jake opened his mouth to speak, but I left him no room to react as I plunged my hands beneath his head and gripped the roots of his hair. His words caught in his throat as I clamped down on his hair.

"Make me the happiest man in the world." I spoke, staring deep into his eyes. His strained features softened into a smile.

"I'll do my best," Jake sighed. "any and everyday." A smirk flashed across my features before I dipped my head and quickly captured his lips in a kiss. My grip on his hair softened as his fingers slid underneath my sweatshirt. I opened my mouth into the next kiss and breathed hot, needy air into his throat. Our kisses got deeper with each passing second and we began to grind against one another. Jake's fingers massaged their way down my chest causing my toes to curl and a hot sensation to churn in my stomach. My lack of affection was catching up with me as I slid my tongue into Jake's mouth. My fingers groped at his hot skin and a deep, unsatisfied moan poured into his mouth with the next kiss. I hadn't realized how much I had been needing Jake's affection. At this point, it seemed as if I would do anything to be closer to him. Any thoughts of the last two months slipped from my mind as my sweatshirt slid over my head and onto the bed beside us. Jake's deprived state shown through as he began to rub his hands over every inch of exposed skin on my body. His eager hands tugged at my boxers. Another moan ripped through my throat as my tongue entangled with his and I pushed my hips deep into Jake's. He understood my incoherent noises and immediately stripped us both of our boxers. As our hot, naked flesh pressed together, an incredible sensation crippled my body. My back arched and my mouth fell wide open. My cheek plastered itself against Jake's as a grunt of ecstasy fell from my lips.

"Jacob." I whispered, my fingers gripping themselves tightly to his biceps.

"Baby," he breathed. "We…we have to stop." his hands clamped down on my hips. He was holding back, restraining himself from continuing. I sunk onto his damp chest, my mouth wide as I strained to catch my breath.

"I'm sorry." he whispered, his erection still pressed into my stomach.

"I don't know what came over me." I breathed, my eyebrows furrowing.

"I do." Jake chuckled. "I'm not even sure how I stopped myself."

"Me neither," I sighed. I pushed myself up and sat back against Jake's bent knees. I watched as he rubbed his fingers into his temples before he looked down at our still throbbing erections.

"God damnit, Jacob!" I huffed, quickly wrapping my fingers tightly around his hard shaft. His mouth fell open and his hands immediately gripped at the sheets. "Why'd you have to stop? It was getting so good." I sighed, nonchalantly running my hand up and down his shaft. I felt the muscles in his thighs flex and his body shift beneath me.

"Ga-Ga-Gav" he stuttered, one of his shaking hands, releasing its grip on the sheets.

"Huh? Did you say something?" I questioned, the pace on my hand picking up speed. Jake's words morphed into labored breaths, his fingers finding their way to my knee cap.

"Gavin," he groaned, his back arching.

"Jakey?" Lucy happily called from the other side of the door. Both Jake and I gaped at each other before we quickly began scrambling about the bed. Jake pulled the comforter up to cover us as I stuffed our clothes under the sheets. Jake cleared his throat before answering, "Yes, Lu?" I heard the door creak open before Lucy came skipping around the corner.

"Jakey, I want Cheerios!" she cheered, jumping up and down beside the bed.

"Okay, Lu, Gavy and I will be downstairs in a few minutes and then we'll have Cheerios." he spoke calmly.

"Yay!" she hopped one last time before running from the room and bounding down the stairs. Jake and I sighed with relief and I rolled over so I could rest my head on his chest.

"That serves as a very good reason why we shouldn't have continued." Jake whispered. "No thanks to you."

"Hey!" I said, sitting up. "This is all your fault!"

"Is not!" he protested.

"Umm, yes it is. You were the one who ripped my clothes off in the first place!"

"Whoa, I don't think so. You were the one who kissed me! You started this whole ordeal." Jake countered.

"Ordeal? I thought it was quite enjoyable up until you made me stop!"

"You mean, tried to make you stop! Trying to jack me off in front of my sister wasn't exactly stopping!"

"I did not do that in front of your sister, you sicko! I was just trying to be helpful!"

"Helpful?" he chuckled. "You know how you can be fucking helpful?"

"How?"

"Kiss me already!" Jake smiled. We both chuckled as I allowed my head to fall until my nose was lightly resting atop Jake's.

"I hate you." I laughed before pressing my lips to his.

"God, I'm so happy you're back." Jake breathed, pulling from the kiss.
