"A tattoo?" Bella scanned Jacob's body, trying to guess its location.

'Yep. I'm dying to show it to you.' He smirked.

"Me too."

'Do you wanna get out of here?' Jacob asked, pressing his lips to her forehead.

"Definitely!" She replied, kissing his jaw and letting her hands roam the expanse of his broad back. "Is the tattoo upstairs or...um…downstairs?"

He chuckled, amused by the cheeky smile that graced her pink face.

'You're gonna have to strip search me to find out.'

Bella bit her lip, making a crisscross pattern with her index finger down the front of his leather jacket. "Okay."

'I can't wait.' He whispered before taking her hand and leading her out of the dimly lit corridor.

Jini bumped into them on her way to the bar. She was having the time of her life since Nina's brother, Enzo was in town for the first time in months. He was a twenty six-year-old photojournalist who traveled the world for a living.

She had the tiniest crush on him ever since they were in high school. He was just as tall as Nina and had the same cat-like green eyes and half-Italian charm that made her doodle his name on her notebook all those years ago.

'There you are! Did you finally kiss and make up?' She quirked an eye-brow at both Jacob and Bella.

"Yes." B replied before turning to smile at their friend's brother. "Enzo, it's so good to see you! How've you been?"

Enzo's large, expressive eyes crinkled beneath his black rimmed glasses as he smiled at Bella, pulling her into a brief hug. 'It's good to see you too little Swan.'

Jini exchanged a quick glance with Bella who in turn mouthed the words – ladies room NOW- behind Jacob's back while he shook hands with Enzo.

The girls quickly excused themselves, leaving both men at the bar while they made their way to the bathroom.

"Is he the one who called earlier?" B interrogated Jini the moment they passed through the swinging door.

'Yeah, we've been chatting on Facebook; he's moving here for good and wants to buy his own penthouse!' Jini fished out her strawberry lip-gloss, looking genuinely excited.

"What about A.J?"

'Oh hell to the no woman! I caught him grinding up against some random girl on the dance-floor. He also has a wandering eye and I'm not cool with that either.'

"He does give off a player vibe." Bella nodded in agreement.

Jini smacked her lips in front of the mirror, smoothing out the wrinkles in her dress. 'Now that Enzo's in town, my very own sexy version of Clark Kent..' She sighed. 'I can fulfill one of my teenage fantasies involving him talking dirty Italian to me while we have hot, sweaty sex in the driver's seat of his Porsche.'

"You really like him, don't you?" B almost flinched as three girls barged into the bathroom. They were drunk and incredibly loud forcing both ladies to take their conversation elsewhere.

'DUH. He's been all over the globe and he's so witty and charming. I used to go to Nina's place just to catch a glimpse of him.' Jini recalled, staring dreamily at Enzo who was lounging at the bar with a drink in hand.

Bella had to admit that he really was good looking. He had a shock of thick wavy hair combined with bronze, sun kissed skin and obviously knew how to style himself.

Nina must have a hand in that.

"I remember, but make sure that he's single, you know, free as a bird with no crazy, jealous ex waiting in the wings to kill you, okay?"

'Sure, sure.'

The guys were having a discussion about the oldest classic cars on the market, but it was cut short by Jini who clearly wanted Enzo all to herself for the night. 'Enough guy-talk, let's order some shots!'

Jacob tried sneaking off with Bella but his sister caught them by the arm and insisted that they stay for a little while to celebrate Enzo's homecoming.

"Jini, we're kind of in a rush." B reasoned with her friend, but as usual, she wouldn't take no for an answer.

'No, you're not. Your boy here gave me one big-ass headache all week because of that stupid decision of yours. He wanted me to talk some sense into you but I said: no, if you want your cake, you'll have to do the work.'

"Cake, really?" B's chocolate eyes danced with laughter.

'Oh you know what I mean. Anyways, where were we? Right, don't go anywhere yet. It's still early and Jake's staying here all weekend so you'll have plenty of time to make out.' Jini patted her on the shoulder before swiveling her chair to face Enzo.

Jacob brought over a tray full of shots and they each took a glass, toasting their friend who was very pleased by all the attention.

'Grazie!' He thanked them before downing his drink.

The shots kept on coming for another twenty minutes but Jacob refrained from drinking. He watched as Bella tipped her head back and took another shot, her nose scrunching up in the process.

Jini slid off her stool and dragged Enzo to the dance-floor, waving goodbye to Bella and her brother. 'You are dismissed.' She said in a horribly fake, British accent.

"Grazie your majesty." Bella called out, feeling a tiny bit tipsy.

Jacob took her by the hand and they hurriedly left the club like it was on fire.

"Ugh, I can't walk in those heels anymore." She complained on their way to the car.

'Allow me...' He spun her into his arms then scooped her up like she weighed nothing. She squealed in delight as he carried her all the way to his Camaro, grinning down at her while she toyed with the zipper on his jacket.

"Can I strip search you now?"

'I have a better idea.'

He unlocked his car and set her down on her feet right next to the passenger door.

"You're a tease, Jacob Black." She pouted after buckling up her seat belt.

Jacob chuckled and slid in beside her; the interior of the car smelling like pine and leather. 'I'll give you a foot massage to make it up to you.'

"That sounds amazing." She stretched her tired legs and removed her shoes using the heel of her foot.

The drive to the Black's house was long enough for Bella to fall asleep, her head lolling to the side. She looked exhausted to Jacob, especially with her eyes closed.

He parked his car parallel to the gate that led to the pool-house and punched in the security code.

Bella stirred and slowly opened her eyes when she felt herself being carried bridal style towards Jacob's den.

"What time is it?"

'Eleven, and you fell asleep like a baby.' He teased, lowering her body in front of the door.

"Jake, wait! I...um...why are we here? I thought we were going back to my place?"

Jacob froze, the keys to the door in the palm of his hand.

'We could, but there's something I want to show you first.' He smirked.

"The tattoo?"

'Nope.'

Inside, the lamp lights were already switched on, illuminating the walls as Jacob led Bella to his bedroom.

He rummaged through his grey suitcase until he pulled out a pink, rectangular paper bag filled with girly items.

'I know you're not a big fan of using borrowed stuff whenever you stay the night so…' He handed her the bag, looking a tiny bit embarrassed. 'I got you a few essentials that you can keep here just in case...'

It was fun watching him squirm, so unsure of himself while Bella checked the contents of the bag.

A pink Super Mario pajama was neatly folded alongside a bottle of shower gel, a hair brush, cotton balls, make-up remover, a pair of cute slippers and a brand new toothbrush as well.

"Oh my God, how on earth did you guess my size?" She asked in awe after trying on the slippers.

'Jini sent me all of your measurements, including your bra size.' He blurted out. 'Shit, I didn't..uh..really need it but she sent it anyway.'

Bella blushed, hiding her face with the PJ top. The color was a bit too bright for her taste but she liked it because Jake's boxer shorts had the same smiling Super Mario printed on them too.

"It doesn't matter, you're going to be seeing them eventually." She mumbled to herself.

'There's also an extra bed cover in my closet in case you felt like making a burrito.' Jacob mentioned with a grin.

"Haha." She rolled her eyes at him, placing the bag on his desk before pulling his tall frame into a hug and thanking him for the goodie bag.

"You're too sweet, you know that?"

'Nah, I gotta admit that one of my friends helped me out with some of the stuff. You ladies sure do a lot of weird things before going to bed.'

"Weird? Removing make-up from one's face at the end of the day is a necessity, Mr. Black." Bella responded, jabbing a finger into his left pectoral.

'Ow! You jabbed me in the nipple, Bells.' He joked, rubbing his chest like he was in pain.

She ignored him and pressed open the lid of the shower gel. It smelled like candy hearts, reminding her of the night they spent at the suite.

Her blush intensified at the memory of Jacob licking all that sugar off her stomach.

"Speaking of body parts, will you please show me the tattoo now?"

'Close your eyes first.'

"Fine."

She did, tapping her foot against the wooden floor in anticipation.

Jacob made sure that she wasn't peeking then took his shirt off and turned around.

'Now for the grand reveal of my very first tattoo…' He spoke in a booming voice, playing the drum roll sound-effect on his Blackberry.

Bella laughed, opening her eyes to the sight of a sexy, pin-up girl sitting on a red velvet cupcake.

The girl was centered right between Jacob's shoulder blades and shared a lot of Bella's features, including her long legs. The white icing seemed to swirl around her lower half with tiny little sprinkles framing the tattoo itself.

"She...she looks like me." B stuttered, reaching out to touch the tattoo which was almost eight inches in length. It was sexy and the details and use of color were impeccable.

'You're not mad, are you?'

"What? No! Holy cupcake Jake, it's beautiful! I love it."

Tears welled in her eyes and she started crying from happiness, feeling touched that Jacob got his tattoo done with her in mind.

'Why the tears, Bells?' He turned around to cup her face in his warm hands.

"Oh it's nothing. Now let me take another look at that piece of cupcake art." She sniffed, wiping at her cheeks.

He studied her face for a few seconds before nodding in consent, allowing her to admire the ink on his back while he unpacked the rest of his suitcase.

Once he was done, he told her to lie back on the bed and enjoy the foot massage he promised her.

'Your feet are so tiny.' He remarked while rubbing the sole of her right foot.

She giggled at his touch and he instantly remembered that this was her ticklish spot.

Using that knowledge to his own advantage, he held on to her legs and tickled her on purpose.

"Jake!" Bella squirmed, kicking at his fingers.

'What?' His almond shaped eyes glinted as he tickled her one more time to hear the sound of her laughter.

"You're evil."

'Evel Knievel?'

"Don't give me that puppy dog look! I hate to be tickled, you know that!" She frowned, hitting him on the head with a pillow.

'I do know that, but only because you made fun of my water goggles back in tenth grade and I tickled you mercilessly till you apologized.'

"I didn't have a choice. You wouldn't let me swim in peace."

'Yeah, I remember.' Jacob smiled wistfully, recalling his dorky days as a sixteen year-old.

His stomach grumbled all of a sudden, making him realize that he had forgotten all about dinner.

"Your abs are hungry." Bella playfully pointed out, sliding off the mattress.

'They're starving. I forgot to feed them this afternoon.'

They both chuckled at their lame joke and Jacob got up to order a couple of Subway sandwiches.

In the meantime, Bella took the opportunity to change out of her outfit and try on her brand new PJs. She folded her belongings and stood in her bra and panties in front of the bed.

A tiny movement caught her eye just as she was about to deposit her stuff into the paper bag. Two mice were scurrying along the window ledge; one had a white coat and the other had black spots like a Dalmatian.

They must have sneaked into Jacob's room through the open window.

"JAKE!" Bella screamed as both mice raced each other towards his cluttered desk. She stood on top of the bed, afraid that they might try and bite her.

She was such a chicken when it came to insects and rodents of any kind.

Jacob opened the door then barreled into the room, his eyes frantically searching for the reason behind Bella's scream.

'What happened?'

"Look! Over there!" She yelled, pointing a finger at the two active mice. They were very familiar with their surroundings, helping themselves to the block of cheese that was waiting for them on a plate down by the desk.

'You mean those two?' He sheepishly looked at her. 'They're Mario and Luigi, my third generation pet mice. They uh…live in our garden.'

His midnight black eyes took in her lack of clothing, widening slightly when they dropped to her strapless push up bra.

It was the same one she had previously shown him on Skype.

"Oh."

B sighed in relief, clutching her fluttering chest. That's when she noticed that her PJs were discarded on the floor. Her panties were a dark shade of red to match her skirt and that's where his gaze was fixed on next.

"Take a picture, it will last longer." She huffed, picking up her clothes to shield her body from his heated stare.

'Sorry.' He apologized before carrying the mice back to the window and gently placing them outside. They had pink ears and healthy coats, sniffing his fingers while he fed them the rest of the cheese.

Bella got dressed, watching his interaction with the rodents with great interest. "You do know that they carry diseases, don't you?"

'I know, but those guys are healthy. Besides, they only visit every other month.'

"Really?"

Jacob closed the window and turned to face Bella.

'Yeah. I call them survivors of the Ratatouille clan.' He grinned.

After carefully washing his hands, Jacob was forced to use some of Bella's sanitizer as well. He gave her weird looks when he caught her cleaning his desk with Dettol disinfectant spray.

'Come on Bells, give it a rest. The sandwiches are here.'

"Coming!"

'That's what she said.' He smirked, unwrapping his chicken teriyaki sandwich.

She merged from his bedroom seconds later, looking adorable in her Super Mario PJs. Her hair was tied into a ponytail and her face was make-up free.

They ate in silence for quite some time whilst Jacob replayed the way Bella had looked in her underwear over and over in his mind.

If it weren't for those mice and her freaked out expression; he would've attacked her right then and there on his California king.

"I'm so full." B rubbed her belly, leaning back on the living room couch.

Her eye-lids were getting heavy so she drank a bit of soda in order to remain awake.

Jacob on the other hand was constantly checking out his new tattoo in the mirror. He was a sight for sore eyes as he walked around the mini-kitchen, flexing his biceps just in case Bella was discreetly ogling him.

He disappeared into the bathroom for a few minutes, washing up and changing into his own PJs. He brushed his teeth to get rid of the chicken smell that lingered in his mouth then he padded barefoot to the living room.

Bella was captivated by a TV series that was airing on HBO. She barely blinked when he sat next to her, draping one arm over the back of the couch.

'Whatcha watching, Bells?'

"Game of Thrones."

'Nice. What's it about?' He prodded.

"It's the story of seven noble families fighting for control of this mythical land called umm…crap, I forgot the name." She tapped her knuckles against her chin.

Jacob listened while she briefly filled him in on the important events and characters, using the episode rerun as a guide.

'Are there any sex scenes in it?'

"Sometimes, but not in this episode though."

Ten minutes later, Jake got bored and started tapping his foot against the carpet. He then leaned towards Bella, using his lips as a weapon of mass distraction. He kissed her neck, sucking on the sensitive spot below her ear.

She turned her head in his direction, her fingers finding purchase of his short hair. She gently tugged on it, her breath hot on his skin.

"I missed you."

The TV was long forgotten whilst they made out on the couch, Jacob's body hovering above Bella. The soft, gentle joining of their lips gradually morphed into passionate, frenzied kissing.

Large, russet hands wandered beneath Bella's top, heating up her skin even more. She arched into Jacob's chest, parting her legs wider for him. He groaned, lightly biting her lower lip, his lower half grinding into her most sensitive area.

Her nails instantly dug into Jacob's back and she moaned into his mint flavored mouth. The skin was still tender from the tattoo so he flinched and pulled away.

"Sorry! Did I hurt you?" Bella's eyes fluttered open when she felt him flinch. He nodded, sitting up while trying to catch his breath.

'My skin is still healing so it hurts a little.'

"Did they give you something to rub into the tattoo?"

'Yeah actually, but I always forget to use it.'

He showed it to Bella who told him to lie on the bed so she could apply it for him.

"Take your shirt off."

'Those are my four favorite words by the way.'

"Mine too." Bella winked at him.

She straddled his waist and carefully applied it all over the tattoo.

She then cleaned her hands and massaged his shoulders, feeling the pliable muscles of his back as she made small circles up and down his smooth skin.

Jacob surrendered to sleep in seconds, snoring softly into his black pillow. Bella draped the covers over him and used the extra one from his closet as her own. She switched off the bedside lamp and snuggled under the cotton fabric with a yawn.

The next morning, a sharp knock on the door brought them out of their slumber. Bella forced her eyelids open to find Jacob glancing at the digital clock behind her.

It was almost twelve noon and he was late for family brunch.

'Jake, baby, are you up yet?' Mrs. Black's melodic voice drifted from outside.

She hesitated for a moment before opening the door.

Bella bolted upright in bed, the comforter wrapped around her burrito style.

"No...no...no…she can't see me in here." She whined.

In an effort to hide from Mrs. Black, she hid under the covers so that Jacob's frame could shield her from the doorway.

'Yeah mom, I'm up.' He cleared his throat.

Sarah smiled, arching a perfectly plucked eyebrow at the dips and valleys in the shape of another human being sleeping next to her son.

'Good morning Bella! We'll be waiting for the two of you in the dining room, don't be late.' She chuckled before closing the door.

Jacob smirked, peeking under the white comforter to examine Bella's tomato face.

"I'm still dreaming...I'm still dreaming…" She was chanting with her eyes closed.

'Sorry to burst your bubble honey, but you're not.'

A/N: Ready for brunch, Bella? ;)

The link to Jacob's tattoo is on my profile page. It's not exactly what I had in mind but I didn't find any other suitable photos on Polyvore.

As usual, I'd like to thank all my readers and all those who take the time to PM or leave me a review.

Special thanks to Zayide, CeeCee A. Picanzo, Iamtwilightobsessed and also jharv241 for putting my story in her Jacob and Bella Stories (For the Grown and Sexy) community.
