A/N: It was crazy fun to write this one. I've been dying to write Jacob kicking Talan's ass and I know some of you feel the same. Rated for Sexual content and strong language…lol
Chapter 14 – Silly Girl
It was kind of like being lifted by a very large crane was all Jacob could think. The jackass was screaming at him now. Wasn't it enough for Talan to just smack him around a little? Now the idiot wanted a fight. Well if that's what he wanted…
Jacob countered with a spinning kick that twisted him off of the bulky, hissing vampire. He landed in a crouch and prepared to pounce feeling the familiar sensation of the phase bursting within him. He knew that before his feet touched the ground he would already be in wolf form. As if underwater he heard Renesmee's husky voice crying out for them to stop but he was already lost in the onslaught of the fight. It hadn't been enough for Talan to insult him. The overgrown beast had just had to bring Renesmee and Bella into it. They circled one another both snarling and baring teeth. Jacob was the first to pounce, his sinuous muscles bunching and then snapping him free. Talan went down with the force of the impact and they wrestled over the earthen floor each of them searching for the best position to go in for the kill. Jacob's teeth snapped onto Talan's neck and satisfaction slithered through him like a living thing. He wanted to kill the bastard, or at least hear him beg for his pathetic eternal existence. Jacob's teeth clamped down seeking purchase and then he was flying backward by something that was a lot like one might feel if they'd been struck by lightning. Jacob yelped and hit the ground hard. He was unable to move, completely paralyzed and when his eyes glanced around he could see the cause was the tall, blond one; Kalika and her punk princess twin. Kalika stood with both arms lifted out to the sides, palms up concentrating with what seemed like superhuman force. Samara stood close by her eyes had rolled up into her revealing only the whites of her eyeballs. Creepy Jacob thought and heard the low snarls coming from a similarly incapacitated Talan. Well at least they weren't playing favorites. From his position on the ground Jacob could see a familiar pair of boots heading in his direction and moments later Renesmee's lovely face filled his vision.
"Idiot" she yelled and stood so that he could only see her very appealing ass. Maybe it wasn't so bad to be paralyzed after all. "You're both a couple of hot-headed idiots" and with that she disappeared. Jacob wanted to call out to her, ask her to come back and stand in front of him again but he figured that really wouldn't earn him any points. He was dizzy still but he guessed that was what happened when a giant vampire decided to shake you like a grey goose martini. The sensation was coming back to his limbs slowly and now that he could move his head he saw Embry leaning over him. Embry's snout pushed into Jacob's side nudging him to move.
Well that was entertaining Jacob heard Embry think. The girls took it home. Samara said the effects will fade as soon as she and Kalika are far enough away.
Good Jacob silently replied. Then I can go finish him off. Jacob felt his body coming back to life. It was kind of like that sensation you got when you slept on something the wrong way; like pins and needles.
Not a good idea Embry cautioned. We should go back to the beach. Get some fresh clothes.
Where's Nessie? Jacob asked whining softly as he lifted up onto his front paws. Embry cocked his head out toward the forest.
She ran off. I think you guys really made her mad with that little pissing contest. Jacob growled low and smelled her path.
I'm going to look for her. Go back to the others. Each of you will take turns from now on patrolling these woods. Nothing gets to the beach or that house without our knowledge. Jacob's command had Embry standing at a kind of wolf-like attention. He nodded and pawed the ground to acknowledge he'd understood.
Jacob started out slowly just taking a few testing steps and nearly crumbled to the ground. Stupid vampire twins he thought and heard Embry's snort.
Taken down by a couple of girly girls, Jake
Jacob heard the familiar high pitched sound of Leah's voice permeating his thoughts and cringed.
Quit it Lee's or I'll make you dance naked in front of Edward Jacob sneered and was pleased when he didn't hear her grating voice in his head anymore.
He loped along slowly at first and then gradually began to pick up the pace breaking out into an all out run as soon as he reached the clearing. Jacob's paws touched down on rocky ground of the cliff he knew Renesmee was fond of but he didn't see her there. The moon was full tonight, its light dancing on the calm ocean below. Stars painted the sky like glittering diamonds. It was a bleak reminder of what would come when that moon was painted red and the snow began to fall. Summer would soon give way to fall and then in nature's usual course winter would come on its heels. Jacob was determined to be prepared for whatever they might face on that night. The enemy had already launched the first strike and lost. Did that mean they might actually be able to defeat the rising threat? Or, would fate prove to be the cruel bitch she usually was? There were so many questions swirling around and no plausible answers so he would do what he had come here to do. He would build his house on the beach, handle his new pack and hopefully find himself still standing with Renesmee at the end of it all. Jacob took off again this time heading down to the beach to get some fresh clothes. The moment his paws touched the sand he smelled her. She was standing there with her feet in the ocean gazing up at the moon just as Jacob had done only a minute before. Her hair blew back from her face in the breeze leaving her pale cheeks naked and sparkling in the moonlight. Her amber eyes glistened and ruby tears slid down in a bloody rain. Jacob was instantly chagrined to know he'd caused her so much pain on a night when she'd already had more than her share. Hearing his approach, Renesmee turned and fixed those gorgeous eyes on him. She sighed and wiped her face with the back of her hand. Unsure whether he should go to her or not Jacob went slowly. She reached out one hand and he nuzzled into it with his snout. She didn't hate him that at least was a comfort. He pressed his muzzle into her belly in a kind of hug and then dashed into the cave to change. He would make his apologies in human form.
I've got her Em Jacob thought and heard the reply in his head. You and Leah are on patrol tonight. Seth can stay back at the house in case the Cullens need to be warned. Tell Bella that Renesmee is with me so she doesn't worry he commanded knowing without waiting for the response that they would all comply. He phased quickly and surveyed the damage that had been caused in the fray. His back was torn up from being smashed against a rock, his arm felt broken but he knew it would heal momentarily. He could already feel the bones starting to knit themselves back together. He felt something warm on his head and realized he must be bleeding. He was covered in dirt, blood, and soot. He figured a little dip in the ocean would fix that so he threw on a pair of shorts and strode out. Renesmee saw him wince and hold his arm. Feeling somewhat responsible she paced towards him and reached up to touch the huge lump on the side of his head where Talan had bashed him against a rock. It was open and bleeding. Renesmee ignored the venom burning in her mouth at the metallic smell.
"Ouch" Jacob said cringing at the pain in his head.
"Sorry" Renesmee replied biting her lip to quell the venomous burn. "Are you okay? Talan got a little out of control back there"
"A little?" Jacob questioned turning to show her the gouges the rocks had torn from his flesh. Renesmee's mouth twisted into a wide open gape. "Why do you put up with that jerk?"
Her face softened then and she struggled to find a way to explain it to the man standing with her.
"He's not always like that" she said quietly and watched his face turn angry. "It's just…"
"Complicated" Jacob finished for her and lifted a hand to touch the nearly healed bite mark on her neck. His fingers lightly traced the shape of it. "He doesn't know you does he?" Jacob sighed deeply. "He thinks he knows what's best for you, what you want. He's wrong, they're all wrong about you" It was an easy statement and completely true. Renesmee wondered how it was that he could see through her so easily.
"Sometimes it's just easier to let them have their assumptions than it is to fight them. I love my family, my parents. To them I'm a miracle, something that they'd never thought they could have. I guess that's why they protect me like they do. Why my father thinks I should be with Talan. They only want what's best for me but you're right Jake, they don't really see me" She looked up into his coal black eyes. They shone like twin onyxes in the moons light. "Not like you do" she murmured and moved into him. It felt perfect, right to be in his arms again and she craved more. Renesmee lifted up on her toes and craned her head up her eyes still locked with his. Jacob closed the distance between them touching his lips to hers lightly. Waves rolled up against their feet and receded back into the depths as their mouths fused together, moving slowly. It was different than before and not fueled by simple lust anymore. He smelled delicious, like smoke and musk. Renesmee's lips parted on a sigh and she felt Jacob nip her bottom lip between his teeth lightly, like a caress. His tongue slipped into her mouth and they were once again locked together. Renesmee's fingers danced through his hair, being careful not to touch the open wound on his head. She was sunk in the kiss, already in love despite the short period of time they'd spent together. Her tongue danced with his, his lips felt like silk brushing across her granite hard ones. They were opposite in so many ways and yet so much the same. Where she was cold, his warmth flooded her. Where she was hard, he was soft and pliant; the proverbial yin and yang. She was powerless to stop the flood of emotion sweeping her up, swamping her.
Jacob broke the kiss and looked out toward the ocean then down at himself. "I think I'd better clean up a little" he said. "Stay. You can wait in the cave if you want" she nodded and started off to the cave. When Jacob was sure she was on her way he stripped off the shorts he wore with more than a little pain. He was still tingling from that little stunt Kalika and Samara had pulled when he waded into the chilly water. One of them had been holding his body still while the other had been stunning his mind, making it difficult for him to focus on his utter bloodlust for Talan. He would have killed him if they hadn't stepped in and then where would they be? If there was one thing they didn't need right now it was petty grievances between allies. They would need to come to some agreement, some kind of truce if they were going to fight together not against one another. He was thinking about how he might do that his strategic alpha side taking over when he felt something brush up against his back. Two arms came around him and dunked him under the salty water before he had time to react. He smiled to himself realizing it was Renesmee rolling in the water with him. They surfaced, both treading water and grinning in the moonlight.
"Come here you foxy little eel" he said and reached out for her waist. The gasp he let out seemed to please Renesmee insanely. She thought about waiting in the cave for him but opted to dive in and finish what they'd started earlier in the woods.
"Jesus, Renesmee you're naked" Jacob exclaimed his eyes wide and his loins stirring despite the cold water.
"So are you" she teased splashing water at him playfully. After the day they'd had she figured they deserved a little fun. Jacob couldn't fault her logic and he certainly wasn't going to argue with a naked, willing woman. Sliding his hands up her curvy form he settled them at the sides of her breasts using his fingers to tease her nipples. Renesmee moaned and let her head fall back. Jacob brought one of his hands up to hold her neck as he leaned in to kiss her. To hell with propriety, to hell with taking things slow he thought. He wanted her now more than ever, and desperately needed to show her just how much he loved her. As is in response he felt her legs come up and she wound them around his waist brazenly. Still he needed to be sure it was what she wanted. He broke the kiss and looked into her eyes.
"Are you sure? We don't have to if…" Jacob was silenced by Renesmee's finger on his lips. After tonight it was more than clear that things could change rapidly and without warning. If things were to go badly Renesmee wanted to be sure she had made the best of whatever time they had left.
"I want to" she claimed and leaned in taking his mouth ardently. Her hands slid down his chest feeling each separate ripple of muscle. They rested at his waist a little hesitant to go any further. Jacob's mouth moved down her neck nibbling the spot just behind her ear. His hands moved to cup her breasts and she was suddenly no longer afraid. It was as natural as breathing to touch him, to taste him. Each wave of sensation he brought her was stronger and filled her with a frenzy that went beyond bloodlust. Shamelessly, she moved her hand down to feel the hardened length of him and nearly gasped when his nibbles turned to an all out bite. It was the second time she'd been bitten that night but it was so much more powerful than the last. With a knowing feline smile she delighted in running her hands over him, cupping him and hearing him moan in her ear. Jacob knew if he let her keep this up it would all be over before it ever began and he decided it was time to turn the tables on her. He glided his hands down her neck, over her breasts pausing for a moment to touch her hardened nipples with his rough thumbs. Renesmee's broken moan was like a siren song in his ear. His fingers danced down her belly and ran teasingly over her thighs. She pushed up against him taunting him to take it further but he kept right on touching her with the same feather-light touch. Her legs quivered and she moaned when he brought his hand down to cup her. Gently he touched her feeling the soft folds under his hand. It was a wonder he didn't just snap and take her right then and there. The warmth of his touch on her sensitive flesh was making her crazy, driving her to madness. With a groan she ground her hips against his hand and felt one long finger slip past the folds and into her. Renesmee clung to him sobbing his name out as she brought her lips to his. Jacob's finger slid in and out and she could feel the walls clenching down with each glide. There was a pressure building in her so acute she thought she might burst from sheer pleasure alone. He kissed her hard and grinned when her cries began building. Not yet he thought and slid his finger out gliding it up to tease her clit. He could feel the swollen little bud pulsing under his questing fingers. Swamped in sensation Renesmee clung to Jacob's neck riding the waves of growing satisfaction and cried out again when she felt his finger dip into her once more, then again just teasing around the edges. Desperate for him to fill her with his touch, Renesmee shoved her hips downward. She bit back a scream when she felt not one but two fingers sheathed in her like a hot sword. The arrow of heat swallowed her and she could feel the little bit of control she had left slipping. His name was a constant chant from her lips; his neck was soft, pulsing with hot blood. There was such a fine line between sexual frenzy and the hysteria for human blood. Renesmee tried desperately to stop the bloodlust from rising but felt herself slipping into it like a second skin. The venom burned like volcanic ash on her tongue. That combined with the pleasure singing throughout her from Jacob's magic fingers was too potent a combination. Finally, the thin wire of control she'd been clinging to snapped. Renesmee cursed an instant before her teeth sunk in. Jacob went very still but his blood pumped warm and satiny into her mouth. Some part of her; a voice in the back of her mind screamed at her to stop. Renesmee tried with little success to listen to it. It seemed it was impossible to tear away from the pliant flesh and sweet blood but she finally managed to break the fatal kiss. She tore off through the water trying to get as much distance between her and Jacob as was possible. When she reached the beach she vomited turning the sand bright red and realized what she'd done. It was unforgivable, horrifying and more than a little humiliating considering how close they'd come to making love. She was sick to her very core, disgusted with the monster taking up house inside her. If she couldn't control herself around him how could she and Jake ever be together. There was only one available option and that was only if he would still have her.
Jacob treaded water still in shock. She'd bitten him, sucked his blood and he'd be goddamned if he didn't enjoy it. It went against everything he'd ever known but it had felt good, almost euphoric. He bobbed in the water feeling the bite healing itself with ease. By the time his feet touched bottom it was already closed. Jacob could understand why Renesmee had taken off; she had obviously feared that she might kill him. With a smile on his face he emerged from the ocean naked and dripping. Renesmee looked up at him, her face terrified. To his delight, embarrassment had colored her face pink. The moonlight sparkled on her tragic expression, making her skin glow a pearly pink. She was simply breathtaking. Like something out of a Greek tale; conflicted yet tragically beautiful. Knowing this was going to be difficult he moved to her slowly and tried not to take it personally when she cringed away from his touch.
"I'm so sorry" she whispered lifting her face to reveal darkened eyes brimming with bloody tears. "I ruined everything" Jacob lifted his fingers to wipe the tears away and watched her eyes turn downward in shame. With his fingertips he lifted her chin forcing her to look at him.
"You've ruined nothing, Ness. I actually kind of enjoyed it" he explained trying to find some way to make her feel better about it.
"I could have killed you!" she exclaimed twisting away from him and covering her chest with her arms suddenly aware of her nakedness. What had she been thinking going in there after him? "I can't lose control with you, not ever Jacob" she said looking over her shoulder and into his gaze. "I've already bitten you twice. What do you think would have happened if we'd…" she trailed off too horrified to think of what she might have done.
"Please don't beat yourself up over this, love" Jacob pleaded. He couldn't bear the thought of her hurting over something that hadn't bothered him in the least.
"I think I should go. We can't be together, Jacob. Don't you see how dangerous this could be? Have you no sense of self preservation?" Renesmee asked shedding the tears she'd been holding. She would have to end it and it was killing her. He grabbed her violently by the shoulders then and crushed his mouth down on hers before she could protest. His arms came around her locking her into him.
"No" he said pulling away with a serious look. "I simply would rather die than not be with you. I love you Renesmee" With a deep sigh Renesmee bit her lip and laid her palm on his cheek. How could she argue with that.
"You love me? After what I just did, you love me?" Renesmee asked knowing she was losing the battle.
"Yes" Jacob replied vehemently. "Completely, madly, desperately" his fingers stroked her hair softly combing through the wet tendril. "I guess the only question left unanswered is: Do you love me too?"
Renesmee thought for a moment knowing that this was her opportunity to end the madness. She could tell him no, hurt him and maybe then he would be safe. It was the sensible thing to do but her heart was screaming for her to stay, for her to tell him exactly how she felt about him.
"I do" she whispered her mouth saying the words before her brain had time to rationalize.
"Then stay with me tonight. I promise I won't make you bite me again" Jacob said with a smirk.
"Can we just sleep? I'm tired Jake, just so tired" she replied feeling the exhaustion from the day seeping into her.
"I'd say you were a woman after my own heart, but it's already yours" he laughed putting his arm around her shoulders and leading her to the fire lit cave.
Hours later he laid in the dark cave with Renesmee tucked into his arms his mind just too busy to allow sleep. The responsibility of being an alpha again weighed on him like a stone and something about Alice's vision was nagging at him. There was just something missing from the picture. He would have to speak to her, even if it meant going through soldier boy to do it. There was so much to do and so little time to unravel the mysteries plaguing them all. Jacob thought about the claw marks running down Edward's face. There was only one thing Jacob could think of that would make those marks and it wasn't a vampire. Either the enemy had procured a phaser, or somebody he knew was in league with them. Either possibility was disturbing but the latter would be worse, much worse. The remains of the fire snapped one last time before the embers died leaving him in the dark with his thoughts. Renesmee stirred in his arms muttering something incoherent before turning her body into his and hugging tightly. He gently placed a kiss on her chilly forehead; silly girl.
I hope everyone isn't too annoyed at my little tease. It's just not their time…yet. As always please review. Reviews make me happy like a kid at Christmastime. Also, I know you guys dislike Talan but soon I will reveal his actual motivations and his true personality. Remember guys he is still technically a newborn so he has difficulty with social interactions and fighting his bloodlust. Maybe, you'll find he isn't all that bad after all.
