As usual, the characters here belong to Stephanie Meyer. I want to ask my readers to forgive me for what I am about to write. However, certain people will not leave me alone, no matter how I block one another comes back. Well this is to that person; since you sent your nasty PM to me and then blocked I will reply here. Why are you so mean and full of hate? Why are you so nasty, just because I do not like a certain story. Not everyone likes my story, but I will not harass him or her, because it is his or her right. Hell no I do not like the story where Bella has to watch Jake have sex and be involved in debauchery with his imprint. Hell no, I do not like that Bella has to be in a sexual relationship with Jacob and his imprint. It is just disgusting to have a 17 year old in that sort of thing. I am almost sure even Jacob/Bella fans who love to read about the hardcore sex between them, wont go for that. Why don't the writer of the damn story you are harassing me about tell her readers where her story really came from. I have not bothered any of you or even read any more of that story. Why don't you leave me and all the other people you are harassing alone. Let us enjoy writing and reading true Jacob/ Bella romances. That's what this is all about isn't it? Why don't you go and try to bully someone else and leave the rest of us alone. Don't make me say what I really know about that story. I am so sorry, my readers, for acting childish, but it gets ridiculous, I am not the only one being bullied and it needs to stop now. I will not stop writing my story.

Anyway, thanks to all of you for the support you have shown, if I could reach up and capture a star and give one to each of you I would. Know you have my undying gratitude.

I am sorry this is so short, the next one will be longer and better. I just needed to get back in the groove of this story. Don't forget to check out eternalfan's stories and itslikenature, two very wonderful women.

Learning To Trust

Chapter 20

(Jacob's POV)

Questions? Answers?

I held my Bella to me and rocked her. I was very worried. What could have happened while she sat with Emily waiting for us to get back? I did not ask again. I know she will tell me when she has calmed down. Therefore, I just held her trying to pull her into me, soothe her. Pour the love I have for her in my touch.

We laid like that for over an hour before She raised her head and looked me in the eyes. It tore at my heart to see how red her eyes were from crying. Whatever it was that caused my Bella to cry, will pay and pay dearly.

"You ready to talk about it now babe?" I asked her as I gently brushed her cheeks with my knuckles. Her skin was so soft; I was almost lost in the feel of it. However, I know now was not the time for it to indulge in my fantasies.

She slowly sat up and I turned her so her back was against my chest and her legs stretched out between mine. I wrapped my arms around her waist and waited for her to begin. She took a deep shuddering breath and began.

"I was sitting with Emily in their den waiting for you and the guys to get back. We had talked for a while and decided to watch some television to try to take our minds off you and stop worrying. We started watching a show. I don't even remember what it was. Ten minutes after we started watching, I heard someone call my name. At first, I thought it was Emily, I turned and looked at her to reply, but she was still watching television so I knew it could not be her. I decided it must have been my imagination and continued watching. Two minutes later, I heard it again. That's when I realized it was coming from inside my head."

"Inside your head? What do you mean Bella?"

"I'm not sure Jake, but someone was speaking inside my head. When I realized what was happening I started seeing these images, horrible images of things that has happened or will happen."

She got very quiet and I did not think she would continue. I did not rush her or ask any question. I held her and waited.

"The pictures I was shown has something to do with that girl Chloe."

"What do you mean bells?" I asked her feeling very confused.

"I don't think she is alive anymore Jake and if she is, she is no longer human. I saw her being pulled in a dark cave by Victoria and placed on an alter. Victoria stepped back and out of nowhere a bunch of vampires I don't know how many, started feasting on her. Before I could see whether she was still alive or not Victoria turned from where she was feeding at Chloe,'s neck and looked right at me, as if I was there or she was right there in that den with us. She smiled evilly, her teeth were all-sharp and filled with blood she then opened her mouth and there was an eyeball on her tongue. It looked just like your eyes Jake, that's when I lost it!"

She began crying and shaking again. I turned her to look at me.

"Bella, nothing is going to happen to me or you. I won't allow it and neither will any of the guys. We can't do anything about Chloe. She chose her path and whatever you were shown is the result of it and the lifestyle she chose to live. Please believe me bells; I love you with everything in me, and won't allow anyone to hurt you."

I pulled her to me and held her close to my heart until her shaking and crying subsided. She then leaned her head away from my chest and looked up at me, resting her hands gentle on my cheek.

"Make love to me Jake. Help me to forget, at least for a little while." She said softly.

She reached down and allowed her fingertips to brush across my belly beneath the waistband of my shorts. I became hard in full urgent measure. Only this one woman, Bella could get me this way just by a touch or a look. Hell all she has to do is walk in a room and I want her.

I turned and laid her on the bed and had our clothes off in less than a minute. Lying on top of her, but not with my whole weight. I captured her lips in a soul-searing kiss. I let my hands trail down to her searing heat and found she was already wet and eager for me. I could not hold back anymore.

I rose up, holding her thighs in my hands. I speared all the way into her with one deep thrust. Within moments, she was moving beneath me. I wrapped her legs around my waist, where she locked them together behind me. The way she moaned and writher beneath me told me she was close to her release. I took her breast in my mouth encircling her nipples with my tongue each in ravenous turn. She coiled her hands in my hair and shook with her release.

The force with which she tightened against me drove me to my own instantaneous release. I gasped, plunging into her with the force of it.

I lay against her, breathless, and trembling, feeling the rhythm of her heart against my shirt. It beat in the same rhythm as mine. I know we will have get up and take a shower, but for now, I just wanted to feel her close to me. Skin to skin, just holding each other.

I know our lovemaking should have gone slower, lasted longer, but I had been overcome with a need, I can't describe. A need for my mate, my Bella. There are some questions I need to ask her, but those can wait for a little while.

I moved from on top of her and lay to side of her, moving her with me so we lay in a spoon with her back against my chest. "I love you bells." I said close to her ear, then nipping it.

"I love you too Jake, more than you know."

I put my arm over her waist and squeezed her to me. God, I love this woman more than my own life and if Victoria or Edward thinks I will allow them to hurt her or take her away from me. They know nothing about us blacks, but will find out soon.

"Bells, can I ask you something about what you saw?"

"Sure you can Jake."

"Do you think the person who showed you those visions can read your mind, and that's why they were able to show you those things?"

"No I don't think so Jake. It was more like a projection, as if someone was using a movie projector and my mind was the screen. It was almost like watching a movie, a very horrible sick movie. Whatever prevents Edward from reading my mind stops anyone from doing the same."

She turned in my arms to look at me, face to face. I kept my arm around her waist and pulled her to me. Her head resting under my chin.

"Can we not talk about this now Jake? I just want to relax in your arms for a while."

"That's fine by me bells. There is no better feeling than holding you in my arms." I answered softly, quietly and kissed the top of her head.

We just laid and held each other and in no time, the change in her breathing told me she was asleep. I could not find the bliss of sleep. I kept thinking about what Bella told me. that has to be a very powerful vampire who could project image in that way. Especially from such a distance, because I knew no vampires entered la push or Sam's house while we were gone

We need to figure out what was going on before it was too late. I refuse to loose Bella to anyone especially the vampires; though I have a feeling, what is going on is bigger than we think. Maybe this is not just about Bella, but about us wolves too. These vampires, the Cullens included are planning some kind of a war, I am almost sure of that, and they need Bella in some way to ensure their success.

There is more I need to ask her about the images she saw but for now, for the rest of today, I just want to spend time with her. If Sam needs me for anything today, too bad, I will not leave her side. I need to be here with her. I will deal with all this tomorrow.

I do have a feeling that what Bella saw about Chloe being dead is truth, I don't know how I know, I just do. Call it intuition or a gut feeling. I do feel a little sorry for her, but she chose the path her life took. The way some of the guys talked about her and the debauchery she got involved in with them, made me pity her more than anything did.

I feel sad for her parents, I am sure they will feel her loss, after all she is their child, their blood. I wonder where they are and what happened to make Chloe live the kind of life she did. Whatever the reason, I can be very thankful that I imprinted on the love of my life and not Chloe. I doubt she could truly be faithful to anyone.

I laid there with my world, my Bella in my arms, her heartbeat, beating in tune with mine, her intoxicating scent surrounding me. I must heave eventually fell asleep, because I woke to Bella softly raining kisses across my chest.
