Chapter 11: Florida

JPOV

During the flight to Florida, I was a little nervous. Not so much about meeting my future mother in law. I knew she would like me. Bella assured me that she wouldn't care about me being a high school dropout with a passion for motorcycles. She said I'd make her laugh and she'd melt like everybody does around me. And she has a point, I do find it easy to win people over just by smiling. It probably also helps that her dad is my dads best friend. I wasn't worried about that.

I was more worried about the things that would happen back home. Leaving the pack behind was not in my nature, but Sam assured me that keeping Bella safe was now pack business as well, so I wasn't abandoning my duty.

I tried not to show it, but I was nervous about the trip as well. Seattle was the furthest from home I've ever been. I felt a little lost, and I think Bella noticed because she grabbed my hand and I squeezed back thankfully.

We relaxed as soon as we arrived at Renée's place. Her house is a little more luxurious than our homes in Forks, and I was amazed at pretty much everything I saw.

We all had lunch together, and it passed by with pleasant conversation. Bella had been right about making Renée laugh. Everything felt right, like I fitted into Bella's life perfectly.

All too soon, Bill and me were playing video games on a huge screen, while Bella sat out on the balcony with her mom, enjoying the sun that hardly ever reaches Forks. The window was open and I listened intently to their conversation, wondering if they were maybe sharing an opinion about me. I wasn't really interested in what the mother had to say, but all the more in what Bella might share.

They were talking about everything and nothing, about Charlie, school, life in Washington... I was losing my focus, but then suddenly my attention grew when Renée said "You're different around him. "

I know Bella is used to people having negative comments on her relationship with Edward, so I was sure this got her on edge. I could clearly hear the irritation in her voice when she said "how so?"

"Oh, nothing bad," Renée quickly responded. "You just seem younger. You've always been old for your age, worrying about everything and taking care of everybody, especially me. With him, you're cheerful, and carefree so it seems. I've never seen you smile as much as you did this weekend."

"I think you're right," Bella answered with a smile in her voice, "I've considered him my sunshine for a while now."

"I can totally see that," Renée said, and they hugged. I was so pleased I ended up losing the game badly.

Later that night, Renée brought both our bags to the guest room. She joked that there are plenty of empty rooms in the house, but she wasn't going to be old fashioned about this. After all, Bella was a legal adult now.

I shot her a wide grin. Neither of us took the effort to point out to her that I in fact was only sixteen and therefor not legal. I wasn't going to complain. Spending a night in bed with Bella was more than I hoped to get out of this trip.

When Bella disappeared into the joint bathroom, I quickly changed into my boxers and got under the covers. I figured we wouldn't need them tonight. Florida is way hotter than Forks is, and she's not used to having a human heater in her bed. But I left the covers on anyway, for now, just in case she was shy.

When she stepped out of the bathroom, wearing a short and a pink tank top, she didn't seem shy at all. She smiled at me sweetly and crawled under the blanket, getting close to me. I was so happy that she wasn't like other girls, who constantly complained about their make up or about how fat they looked. Bella didn't believe she was beautiful, even though to me she's a godess, but she also didn't care enough to hide herself, which was great.

It didn't take us long to get caught up in a deep kiss. It started all innocently, but our bodies were pulled together and our tongues were fighting for dominance.

"Stop, Jake," she panted, pushing me away from her. "I don't want things to get heated up with my mother in the next room."

I dropped on my back next to her, "then stop driving me insane like that," I muttered.

She snuggled against my chest and my arm wrapped around her. "You started it," she smiled.

"You're the adult here," I teased her, "you should have most self-control."

"Hush pup." She planted a kiss on my shoulder and we both cooled down.

"Our first night together," I mesmerized.

"Mmm," she hummed, and I could feel her smile against my skin, "are you excited?"

"It's hard not to get excited when you're looking like that."

She nudged me, "I didn't mean it like that."

"I know I'm not being very romantic, but Bella, have you taken a look at yourself?"

I moved myself from under her so that she was now on her back and I was next to her, leaning on my elbow. I watched her shamelessly, every inch of her. And she didn't try to hide herself, which pleased me. She has no reason to be shy, she looked like an angel.

Her tank top hugged her body, it revealed every curve. My fingertips made small circles around her belly button and moved up towards her breasts. I looked up at her face for one second, to make sure this was okay. She was biting her lower lip, eyes closed, which encouraged me.

With the lightest of touches, I traced the contours of her breasts. She wasn't wearing a bra underneath her tight top, and I saw her nipples respond to my touch. My large hand cupped her breast and I gently brushed the erect nipple with my fingertip.

Her breath hitched, but she didn't move, so I continued my exploration. My hand moved over to her other breast where the other nipple needed some of my attention as well. I rolled it softly between two fingers and again she responded, but didn't object.

I was so turned on right now it was hard not to ravish her. But she didn't want us to get crazy with her mother around, and I would respect that.

My hand lowered towards her belly again, only to slide underneath the thin fabric of her top. I carressed her skin that was now almost as hot as mine, and reveled in the softness of her body. She shivered and I felt the goosebumps under my fingers.

I looked at her face. Her eyes were now no longer closed but fixed on my face. She was still biting her lower lip. I had to try my hardest not to kiss her, I knew things would get out of hand if I did.

All that moved was my hand, it was sliding up again, over her naked skin. When I reached the curve of her breasts, I slid my hand around it, following the contour.

Slowly my palm moved up higher, cuppig her, and I squeezed it gently. I was again surprised at how soft she felt. She never seemed more vulnerable to me, and it was captivating.

My attention shifted to the other side now. With one fingertip, I made circles around the breast, smaller circles every time. Her nipple stood up straight, needing to be touched. And when I finally did carress it, she sucked in the air and a soft moan escaped.

I needed to hear more of that. I gently rubbed the sensitive skin, and again I was rewarded with that divine sound.

I looked at her face and I saw my own feelings reflected, she was close to losing her self control.

"I want you", I whispered.

"Oh Jacob," she sighed, and her voice trembled, "you have no idea what you're doing to me when you say that."

"In a good way?"

"Very good. I want you too."

That was enough for me. For now.

It took all my strenght to pull my hand back from under her top and pull her against me for a hug. I knew better than to kiss her right now. We both stayed still until our bodies stopped screaming, and slowly, we dozed off to sleep in each others arms.

AN: Did you notice the parallels between my story and the original stories? Do you like them? I tried to show how different things are with Jacob, compared to how she was with Edward.
