Chapter 14 (Embry's POV)
I emerged on the edge of the woods. Three tall guys were standing on the edge off the cliff. They had their backs turned to me but I knew they heard me coming, despite the rush of the ocean. The scent of salt water was heavy in the air. It had been a long time I had been near the ocean. I had been spending so much time with Vinnie. I didn't regret it however, not at all. The past week with Vinnie as my girlfriend had been the best. I couldn't even imagine how I had spent all my free time before. This was just so natural, to drive to Port Angeles and keep Vinnie company. And a bit more actually. Our relationship had become more physical. Touching hadn't ever been the problem between us, but I think we had both become more forward. It was so weird to feel this way, desire, lust, passion. These were all weird feelings for me to feel. The way I didn't want to let her go and the fact that I didn't want to stop kissing her. I actually wanted more. I knew there was nothing to be ashamed of, but I was still embarrassed. Vinnie was so sweet, not quite innocent but still. In fact she had been eager to continue. It had been too little time and we weren't ready. We hadn't spoken of it, but we had made an unspoken promise. I had to stop thinking about all this. It was driving me crazy. I didn't like the day away from Vinnie, but maybe it would help me to clear my thoughts. Vinnie didn't want to quit her job. She didn't need it, but she still wanted to do it. I had no idea why, she hated it and she kind of sucked in it. She was rude to customers and she hated serving them. I knew Vinnie's father was going to pay her college studies. He even gave her an allowance, for god's sake. I visited her often; I just didn't want to be apart from her. Well I wasn't an expert on female mind, so I really shouldn't bother my head with it.
"Hey man, it's nice to see you. Long time no see." Quil grinned. He was standing near me. His body was soaking wet. They had made their first jump already.
"You already saw me in school today." I pointed out with a dull voice. Maybe I had been a bit dull to hang around. When I wasn't with Vinnie, I always thought about her. And when I thought about her, I couldn't do anything else. Yeah, I was obsessed.
"I know, but you didn't seem to be there. It was like you were a living corpse or something." He joked.
"It's been a long time since you've hung around with us after school, Embry. Emily's been quite sad because she hasn't seen you in a week." That was Seth, the already-a-new-crush-guy. I hadn't had time to talk to him about that. Maybe I should bull him a bit about that. I sighed and felt guilty. It was true, I had been failing to meet my brothers and sisters.
"I'll come by today." I muttered quietly, staring at my feet. Seth slammed my back and I saw him grinning.
"Don't feel so bad about it, Emily totally understands you man. It's more about…" He trailed of and looked quite uneasy. Jake snorted loudly.
"What's going on?" I asked puzzled. I had been missing a couple of patrols and I had no idea what was going on.
"It's Leah man. She has something against Vinnie. I hadn't been quite able to figure it out, she's so good at blocking her thoughts now a days. But I can totally feel the irritation and something about Vinnie mixed up together." Jacob explained. I furrowed my brows and let out an involuntary growl.
"What's up with you Clearwater's? Have you decided together to irritated me as much as you can? First you Seth, and then your arrogant sister!" I shouted and motioned wildly with my hands. Jake put his hand on my shoulder and asked me to calm down. Seth was apologetic and looked kind of sad. That kid totally was too good hearted. He never thought of himself first. Sometimes I wondered how unselfish could a guy be. At times it annoyed me.
"Let me explain Embry. It was just a crush I had on Vinnie. It's all gone now, and you can give me all the crap you want about it." He promised and prepared himself to be insulted. I had calmed down already and I was fine with it. As long as it didn't include Vinnie being the target of his admiration it was okay. Vinnie was all that mattered to me.
"So, mister I-got-a-crush, tell me, who's this 'new girl'" I asked, referring to the new crush Jake had mentioned. I smirked at him evilly. He wasn't ashamed like I had hoped he would. I guess he already had gotten all the mocking about this.
"It's Carly, a junior in Fork's high." He said with a goofy smile in his face. Not as goofy as mine or Jake's or any other guy's who had imprinted. If I had been a girl I would have said aw. But I wasn't so I didn't – I concentrated on Leah.
"Okay, cool for you, man." I tout him. "But what the hell is wrong with Leah?" I asked, irritated again. Jake frowned and thought.
"I think she may feel intimidated." He wondered aloud. All the three of use frowned. That wasn't Leah, she was brave, she never was afraid. She was stupidly brave actually. She did everything we dared her to do. Jacob saw our amazement and explained.
"She noticed that Vinnie is very much a like her. They share the same personality and same interests. I think she's afraid of loosing her place in our family. You know, all the other girls have been girly, so they're no threat to her. But then Vinnie came, she's a tomboy, sporty and yet beautiful funny and sarcastic. She has always counted on you Embry, to be alone with her. It was a tough position for her when you imprinted. You were the last one of us "older" guy's who haven't been imprinted. Now she feels alone." Wow. How good was Jake at reading Leah? Who would've guessed? Leah was a human too! Hah-hah. Not funny, I know.
"I think you should talk to her, man. I think she and Vinnie would be great friends." Quil suggested. I lifted my brows.
"And how should I do that? I don't even know how to talk to her!"
"Just talk to her like you do to Vinnie!" Seth proposed. The three of us grinned.
"I don't think you want him to say 'God baby, you're so hot', to your sister, man." Jake said. Yeah, maybe I shouldn't have phased right after that one. Jake had disappeared pretty quickly.
"Okay, I don't. But she needs you to reassure her. You can do it."
"I can do everything!" I shot a cocky smile to them. They all laughed hysterically.
"Vinnie may buy that, but we don't!" Quil howled. I rolled my eyes. Even Vinnie didn't buy that. Actually she was the last person who would. She saw right through me.
"Okay, I'll talk to her next time I see her." I promised. I didn't think that it would help her, but I was going to give it a shot.
"Are we going to do some cliff diving or not?" I asked and then threw myself over the edge. Adrenaline started rushing through my veins. I had missed this feeling, a lot. It wasn't as good as kissing Vinnie, but it was the second best pleasure.
We were all soaking wet when we were walking to Emily's. We had no shoes on, just our swimming shorts. This had turned out to be a good day after all. I missed Vinnie, a lot. It hurt when I wasn't near her. But I had been able to enjoy myself today. And going to see Emily was making me feel better. Now that my brothers had mentioned Emily being sad because I hadn't visited, I had started feeling guilty. I was going to make good use of this Vinnie-less day. I didn't want it to be Vinnie-less, but I kind of had no other choice. She was working and I had school tomorrow. Those were her excuses, not mine. If I would have decided, I would be there right now. But she insisted that I had to have a life outside of her. When I was with her I didn't miss my life. But now when I was with my brothers again I had to admit that I enjoyed it and I had missed it.
"You better dry yourselves before you go in. Emily will be mad if you drop the water onto the floor." Sam stated. He was sitting on the porch.
"Go get some towels to us then!" Quil said and shook his hair like a dog. Sam rolled his eyes to him and murmured something about spoiled kids. We weren't that much younger, like five years. We waited for a while and then we heard Emily rushing around the house. A moment later she appeared on the porch. She was looking very happy.
"Oh Embry!" She pronounced and threw her hands around me.
"Why aren't we getting that kind of a welcome?" Seth protested playfully. Emily let me go and took a step back.
"Because, it's Embry I haven't seen in a week."
"And because your hormones are going wild." Sam murmured, but not low enough. Emily turned to look at him. Her eyes suddenly filled with tears. All of us watched her in horror. Why the hell was Emily acting like this? She was freaking me out.
"Why did you say that? Do you want to hurt me Sam? Don't you love me?" She cried and Sam rushed to comfort her. He put his arms around Emily and she just kept crying against his shirt. We all mouthed 'what the hell??' to him but he shook his head.
"Of course I love you Emily. And I didn't mean that. I would never ever hurt you on purpose. I'm so sorry. Will you forgive me?" Sam pleaded, looking so out of place. Now I knew what he felt. He was sad and hurt because he had hurt Emily. Emily sobbed against his chest but nodded. After a while she dried her eyes and let go of Sam. She smiled a little to us.
"I'm sorry about that, you shouldn't have seen that. I'll be in the kitchen." She excused herself and left us staring after her.
"What the hell Sam?" I asked, this time low enough to Emily not to hear. He shook his head.
"It's the pregnancy." He said with an exhausted voice. Oh right, the pregnancy. I had almost forgotten all about that.
"What about it?" Quil asked, scratching his head.
"Duh Quil! Are you stupid or what?" Seth said and slapped the back of his head.
"Ouch! What did I say?" He asked rubbing the sore spot and shooting angry glances at Seth.
"Pregnant women go through a massive hormonal change." Seth said slowly, like he was talking to a kindergartener.
"How am I supposed to know that?" Quil asked sounding a bit sulky voice.
"They teach you that in biology." Quil rolled his eyes.
"I wasn't paying too much attention on that day." He confessed. Jake laughed and then joined the conversation.
"Maybe you should have. Quil, do you know where babies come from? When mommy and daddy love each other very much…" He was cut short because of the fist that was moving towards him. Jake was faster than Quil and so he missed Jakes nose.
"Okay guys, what if we just move inside and enjoy Emily's famous muffins. What do you say?" Sam suggested and we raced to the kitchen.
I stuffed like eight muffins down my throat. But man they were good. Emily acted like her emotional brake down didn't happen. And we all were pretty happy about that. None of use were used to dealing with overly sensitive women. Pregnancy and all that stuff was weird for us, and we were feeling a bit awkward when Emily sometimes talked about it. Thankfully the conversation took a lighter course.
"Wasn't it Nessie's birthday last week?" Emily asked Jake when she was washing the dishes by the sink.
"Yeah, it was. You should have seen all the gifts the Cullen's got for her." He laughed. Emily pouted her lips. Here we go again…
"I haven't seen her in a while…" Emily trailed of and made her voice sound sad. Jake was fidgeting in his seat. He knew as well as I did that Emily didn't use that tone for fun.
"I bet she's grown so much. I would love to see her again. I wonder if she even remembers me." Emily sighed and continued washing the plates. Jake sighed too. He was giving up. It didn't take long. I was rather surprised. Usually it was a bit harder to get Jacob to do what you wanted. But then again, maybe he was afraid that Emily would have another brake down. So maybe he was just being smart after all.
"Okay Emily. I'll bring her in someday. I'll ask the Cullen's." He said and stood up.
"Where are you going Jacob?" Emily asked with a clear voice.
"To ask the Cullen's…" He said and stormed out of the house.
"Excellent!" Emily said under her breath. I rolled my eyes. For such a sweet woman, she knew an awful lot about bending people to her will.
"Embry, you're driving me crazy!" Seth shouted and switched off the TV. I was pacing behind the couch. It was about eight o'clock and all I could think was that Vinnie's shift was over. We were at Seth's place. After Quil had gone to see Claire, we had decided that we shouldn't bother Sam and Emily anymore. Of course Emily had protested but I knew they needed alone time. The house was full of werewolves every day. And I knew how reckless I become when I'm not alone with Vinnie as much as I would like to.
"What?" I questioned him.
"You're all gloomy and dark all over again!" He explained. I sat down, but it didn't feel good. I wanted to be on the run. I didn't want to sit down. I wanted Vinnie by my side.
"So, what do you want me to do Seth? It's not like I can just stop acting like this, you should know that!" I exclaimed with a frustration in my voice. Seth pinched the bridge of his nose and closed his eyes.
"Don't be stupid Embry, you're an adult, go see your girlfriend for god's sake." He muttered and jumped off the couch. He just started walking towards the front door and I followed.
"I can't just go there, what would her parents think if I suddenly appeared on their doorsteps? I don't think that they would appreciate that." Seth opened the door and held it. I looked at him with a puzzled face.
"It's time to get creative, Embry." He said and suddenly pushed me out off the door. I was totally taken by surprise and I almost fell. I hear the door slammed close behind me. That kid got some nerves… I stared cursing Seth to the lowest hell, but then I saw it.
All of a sudden, I could imagine Vinnie's house. There was something that was going to make my plan to work. And so I took of my pants and bound them with the strap on my ankle. The darkness swallowed me quickly.
Yeah, fire ladders, the best invention ever. Maybe I should thank Vinnie's dad for installing them. Or maybe not, he would probably get suspicious. It was too dark to anyone to notice me stalking in the yard. From the edge of the forest I could see the light coming from Vinnie's bedroom. I started to get more excited. I had to thank Seth later. Well, if Vinnie wasn't going to kick me out, I mean. Knowing her, that was very likely to happen. You never knew what was going on that girls head. But I didn't complain. God I loved her more than anything in the whole wide world.
I snuck through the lawn to the ladder. I could hear Vinnie's voice. She was talking, but I couldn't hear anyone answering. She must've been talking on the phone, I figured. I considered being polite and staying down until she finished, but I was way too eager to see her again. So I grabbed the ladder and started climbing up fast. Vinnie's voice got louder by every step. It was sheer torture to climb up, but it so was worth it.
There she was, lying on her bed on her stomach. Her head was towards the door, so she couldn't see me. Her legs were crossed in the air and it took every bit of self-control I had just not to jump on her. She looked so sexy. I pinched myself just to make sure I wasn't dreaming. Ouch. I wasn't. Vinnie was wearing a loose t-shirt and some shorts. They were boy's shorts, just like the pair I had seen her using in her soccer practice. She had tied her hair up in a high ponytail. It took me a while to notice that the window was a bit open. Maybe she had been airing the room earlier. I carefully pushed it open. I crossed my fingers and hoped that it wouldn't creak. I leaned into the room, so that my legs were still out, but my upper body was in her room. I took a deep breath and inhaled her sweet scent.
"Julie, please listen to me." Vinnie begged and it occurred to me that she still had some unfinished business with her friend. Vinnie had told me about her problem earlier and I felt sad for her. And I actually was a quite scared that maybe she was angry with Vinnie because of me.
"Russell is a wreck right now, he can't figure out what he did wrong. You're his best friend; he's totally lost without you." Vinnie said with a bit of anger in her voice now.
"What do you mean, 'that's the problem'? Have you stopped liking Russ or something?" I couldn't hear Julie's voice clearly, so I couldn't tell what she was saying. Luckily Vinnie repeated things a lot.
"This is the right time Julie; just tell me what the hell is wrong with you. I can't stand this anymore!" She was almost shouting now. I wanted to step into her room, pick the phone from her delicate hand and tell Julie to stop upsetting my girlfriend. I didn't do it, but only because I knew that Vinnie wouldn't be too happy about me.
"Okay, whatever. I'll talk you tomorrow. Bye Julie." She hung up and sighed. She rubbed her forehead and looked sad. My heart ached seeing her like that. I just couldn't hang there watching. Vinnie's pain was mine too.
"Knock, knock." I said. Vinnie let out a small cry and jumped off her bed. She just stood there staring at me; her beautiful grey eyes wide open.
"Hi babe." I muttered and climbed in her room. She was still just standing there and staring. I took two wary steps towards her. I had scared her and I felt bad about that. "It's just me, everything is okay." I tried to calm her but she still kept staring at me. When I was just a foot away from her she spoke up.
"Embry Call, what the hell are you doing in my bedroom?!" She demanded. Okay, that was unexpected…
"I just decided to surprise you. So, surprise!" I tried to be funny, but it didn't sink in.
"So you just decided to climb into my room without asking first?" I looked down and nodded nervously. Then she laughed. Yeah, laughed. I couldn't believe this girl. First she's all angry and then she's laughing her guts out. I lifted my gaze. She was leaning against her closet. I groaned, not knowing what I should do.
"Life's never boring with you Embry Call." She laughed and stepped toward me. She wrapped her arms around my neck and pulled her body close to mine. Man, I wanted her.
"That's what they tell me." I stuttered out. Vinnie laughed beautifully.
"So tell me, what you are doing here." She asked with her seductive voice and it was unbearable. We weren't ready, and she sure wasn't helping me with this. I think she enjoyed seeing me suffer.
"Just wanted to see you." I mutter into her hair. I slipped my arms around her and hugged her tightly against me. She reached for me and I knew what she wanted. I lifted her up and put her down on her bed so that she was on her back. I stared into her steel gray eyes for a while. Then I bent over and crushed my lips against hers. She moaned loudly and answered the kiss with all the force she had. I pinned her down to the bed and parted my lips from hers and moved slowly down her throat, sucking it gently.
"Keep it quiet. Your parents may hear." I reminded her. She just moaned again, not caring about her parents. So I just kept kissing her. It was hard to stop, but Vinnie made it easier, since she was human, she needed to catch her breath. I rolled onto my back and stared at Vinnie's ceiling.
Vinnie took awhile catching her breath and then she pulled her upper body over my chest. She rested her head and I brushed my fingers through her silky hair. A thousand thoughts went through my mind but one specific thing kept coming back over and over again. The fact that I loved her. I wanted to tell her. I wanted to be free to love her. I wanted her to fully accept me. I wanted somehow to express how I felt for her. This was the perfect timing. The silence, perfect peace. And I felt brave. I felt wanted. Vinnie was here. She hadn't escaped yet. She was close to me, placing little kisses to my bare chest. She didn't fear me. And I wanted to know too. Was I loved? The words came out, I didn't think it. The words chose to come out. It was time.
"I love you." I whispered. Just for a second she was lying there, not moving. Then she sat up and stared me. Her eyes where wide, radiating with something powerful. She bent closer to me and took my head between her hands. There was a little wary smile on her lips.
"What did you say?" She asked me to repeat. Her face was glowing and it looked, hopeful? I swallowed, but still feeling brave, not intimidate.
"I love you." I was about to get up, but suddenly Vinnie's whole body was over me. Her lips were on mine again, but this time they felt different. The desire and lust were there, but there was sweetness that I had never felt before. Her lips parted from mine for just the briefest time, but it was enough for me to hear.
"I love you too." She whispered and then it was my time to feel the joy. It was the best thing that had ever happened to me. It felt even better than the time I had reviled my secret to her and she hadn't run off. This was something else. I felt like exploding. I pressed Vinnie tightly against me and opened my mouth for her tongue. Love. It was there. She loved me. And I loved her. I wanted to scream it for the whole world. But I wanted to kiss Vinnie more. I felt dizzy. I had everything I wanted. I was the luckiest man alive. There was nothing better. Vinnie loved me and she wasn't going anywhere. Or so I thought.
"Vinnie! Would you please come down for a moment?" Vinnie's dad called from the downstairs. We both groaned against each others lips. Vinnie's lips parted from mine and I placed her on her feet on the floor. I kept her hand in mine. Then I had to pull her against me just for a second. Our foreheads were pressed together and I tried to kiss her again. She pressed her finger against my lips.
"I'll be right back up. It won't take long." She promised and I let her go involuntarily. She walked to the door and then turned back to look at me. She was smiling widely.
"I love you Embry." My heart jumped. I was never going to get used hearing that.
"I love you too, Vinnie." I said but she had already slammed the door close behind her.
I was too occupied to hear what Vinnie's dad had to say to her. I could have easily heard them, but Vinnie's face and words were all over my thoughts. I felt too happy and dizzy. If I had gotten up, I might have fallen. I couldn't even think clearly I was so dazed. I couldn't get a grip on my thoughts. Gladly Vinnie got back quickly. I might not have handled all my emotions alone.
"Hi." She greeted me and run to the bed and jumped on me. We stared each other for a while; it took me a moment to clear my head.
"So what was that all about?" I asked and Vinnie rolled her eyes.
"I can't believe what they're after. Dad said that Stephan and Dillon are both coming home next weekend and they want you to join us for dinner. Can you believe this?!" Vinnie was frustrated but I found it quite funny.
"So, it's time to introduce me to your whole family!" I laughed. Vinnie slapped my face.
"Ouch?" I said with a questioning voice. Vinnie laughed.
"Baby, I can be mad at you even when I love you." She smiled at me playfully. Then her face went all serious. Her brows furrowed and she seemed to be deep in thought. I stroke her cheek carefully.
"Vinnie?" She lifted her gaze.
"Then why aren't you ever mad at me?" She asked with a serious voice. Okay, another time had come. She deserved to know everything.
"I don't have that kind of a temper, love." I tried to make it a joke, but her face stayed serious.
"For real Embry." She insisted and I sighed.
"Okay, this fact I saved for the last, because I was afraid that you would run a way."
"But you all ready told me that you are a werewolf. What else is left there?" I sighed. This was hard. Maybe she would freak out when she heard it. But then again, she said that she loved me. She deserved to know everything.
"Remember the first time we met?" She nodded and smiled a little.
"You seemed all weird, staring at me when your date was still hanging from your arm."
"You know, I'm not normally that kind of a guy. I treat my dates with respect. But the first time I saw you, something happened. It's called imprinting." She looked puzzled.
"What's that? Is it a werewolf thing?" I took a beep breath. How much did I wish that she would still stay with me after this.
"Yeah it is. You've seen Kim and Jarred, Paul and Rachel and Emily and Sam. Imprinting is like that. It's about selecting your mate, if you don't mind." She looked confused, her brows were pulling together.
"What are you saying?" She sounded so confused…
"I mean that werewolves find their soul mates like this. When we lay our eyes to our imprints for the first time, after turning into werewolves, it's like gravity shifts. When I saw you, you suddenly became the reason for my existence. From the very first moment that I saw you, I loved you. After a werewolf imprints, there's nothing more important to him than that girl. There's no reason for me to live without you. That's the way imprinting works. It shows you the girl who you're meant to be with. They become the centre of your universe. There's nothing more important in the whole wide world. I couldn't live without you Vinnie." I whispered and hoped that I had explained it so that she understood.
"Than why did you wait so long?" She asked with a small voice. Her eyes were boring into mine, full of questions.
"What do you mean?" Now I was puzzled. Sometimes it was a bit difficult for me to understand Vinnie's train of thought. She was smiling a bit. Her face was smooth again.
"Why did you wait so long to tell me that you loved me?" She smiled a lot wider now. I blinked a couple of times letting it sink in.
"You're asking me this?"
"Yes, what do mean?"
"You don't want to run away? You still love me?" I asked, confused. She stroked my cheek with a breathtaking beautiful smile on her face.
"No, I want to stay with you forever. And yes, I do love you, still. Would you now answer my question, why did you keep me waiting?" I was staring her, my mouth hanging open. She was there, loving me. Not wanting to leave me, ever. There were just too much happy emotions for my brains to handle.
"I thought you would have run away. It was so early." Vinnie laughed. She had this distant look in her eyes. It was like she was thinking of something from the past.
"Yes, it was too early and that's why I was so confused." She said, deep in thought.
"What are you saying?" The distant look disappeared and she turned her radiating eyes to me.
"I was so confused. I loved you so quickly. I always knew there was something special about us, even Julie could see that. I'm so happy I finally got the explanation. I should have guessed it was some kind of a freaky werewolf thing!" She laughed out loud. I rolled my eyes, but still couldn't stop smiling at her. This was just unbelievable. She had loved me all along. I had been so stupid, not seeing that. I would have saved so much time.
"So you're okay with this?" Vinnie stared at me.
"Everything is fine as long as you stay with me." She whispered and hugged herself against me. I stroked her back.
"I can't go anywhere. It would kill me." I whispered. I could feel her grinning against my chest.
"So, how much power do I actually have over you?" She asked with a wicked voice. I really should have left that part out…
"Let's not talk about that, please." I practically begged her. She was a wicked woman. She would use this against me some day.
"Okay, I'll just ask Quil." I rubbed my forehead. I was glad that Vinnie liked the pack so much, but boy was it going to cause me some trouble…
Vinnie and I were just lying on her bed, talking quietly. She had questions about the imprinting, about Sam and Emily and the others. I told all of their stories to her, but I didn't mention Jake and Nessie and Quil and Claire. I'm glad that she didn't ask about it. It would have been too creepy. Half-vampires that grew with super speed, imprinting on a little girl… That was a lot to handle. And to be perfectly honest I just wanted to enjoy this peace and quite with her. I wanted this moment to last forever. I didn't want to mix her up with the creepiest stuff that you could find in this world. If it would be possible, I would never tell her about Nessie, but I guess that would be impossible. If she was going to hang around us more, she wasn't going to miss someone talking about Nessie. Everyone of just loved the little creature, she was so adorable. It was highly likely that she would even meet Nessie. I did love Nessie, and I knew that she was harmless, but I couldn't help it that I saw her and all the Cullens as a danger. Maybe I would get over it. I was sure, that Vinnie was dying to meet some vampires. I just had to hope that I could hold it back for a while. I just wanted to enjoy the love and all for now.
"Look Embry, you don't have to come to the dinner with us." Vinnie spoke up. It was getting pretty late, but I had stayed. Mom was on a night shift and she would never notice that I wasn't up in my room. It hadn't taken much to bend her to my will. She was far too willing to spend some time with me now. She didn't want to let go of me either. Just a couple hours ago I had thought that it was just me feeling that way. This day had revealed all sorts of interesting stuff about Vinnie. That she loved me was a miracle. I still couldn't believe it. The feeling was utopian. But then again, it was the best feeling I had ever felt.
I laughed a bit at Vinnie's comment. She didn't want me to do anything I didn't want. Unless she was going to get some profit of it.
"I'd loved to meet your family. I've only met your mom." Vinnie raised her brows at me.
"Are you sure? My brothers and my father can be a bit cruel, you know." I had to laugh. I was a werewolf; it wasn't like they were going to hurt me or anything. Vinnie sighed and rested her chin against my bare chest.
"What's so funny?" I snorted to her tone of voice.
"I think I can handle them. You saw how I charmed your mom." I reminded her, but it was her time to snort now.
"They're a bit harder to please than my mom. Actually, they don't even like you." She informed me with a bit sad face. I lifted her chin with my fingers and looked deep into her eyes.
"And why is that?" Vinnie squirmed closer to me and I put my arm around her.
"I'm just a little girl to them. They don't like seeing me growing up. And somehow they blame you for that. Oh, and then my brothers are very worried about the horny teenagers." I kissed lightly Vinnie's forehead.
"Well, I'm not the only one they should be worried about…" Vinnie laughed freely.
"I totally agree." She wrapped her arms around me and came closer. I bit my lip, trying not to think that she was that close to me and everyone else in the house had fell asleep more than an hour ago. She wasn't helping me. She traced her lower lip with the tip of her tongue. She was unbearably good looking when she wasn't even trying. Now she was trying to look seductive. I couldn't take it. I growled something unintelligent and crushed my lips to hers. Vinnie cried, taken by surprise. She wasn't surprised for long. She answered my kiss with such a passion. I moaned when her tongue found mine.
"I love you Vinnie." I breathed when we parted.
"I love you too Embry. More than anything." Everything was perfect on that day. Just utterly perfect.
A/N: Aww! They said it finally! I'm so happy for them. Yes and please review! Thanks to my awesome ex-beta, charmed-ireland, you've been great, thanks so much!
But still, I desperately need a beta and I have started to write a new story too about Jacob and Nessie and that one needs a beta too. Let me know if you'd like to beta this or you know someone who'd like to.
