The Twilight Saga is owned by Stephanie Meyer. I own nothing but my lack of imagination and a horribly big visa bill.

A/N This is the end of my stash, I have no other chapters written or even started...RL has caught up with me over the last few weeks. One of the saddest was my gorgeous dog, who was a part of the family and my five years olds best friend got sick very suddenly and had to be put to sleep. My poor little boys screamed for two days...a week later he still cries when he sees other dogs. Anyway I have lost my mojo, but don't worry I will get it back, it could be tomorrow, it could be next week, I will not give up on this I promise.

Chapter 20

Jake's POV

Surprise Parties

.

To hell with everyone, Bella and I had not had a second on our own in so long that we needed some time together and we needed it now. I growled at Embry to keep both of us some dinner and then I grabbed Bella by the hand and pulled her towards the door. Her only response was an "ep" of surprise. I had no idea where we were going but I would think of something as soon as I got out of there.

"Guys, Bella and I have to pop out for a little while, you start the party and we will be back soon." I called over my shoulder as I pulled her out the side door into the garage. I opened the passenger door of my rabbit and swiftly helped Bella in. While I closed her door and turned to run towards the driver's side Paul entered the garage, he had a glimmer of his old smirk on his face.

"Jake, it's freezing out there." Before I could say anything he shook his head and raised both his hands up in submission. "Listen, I'm just saying, use my house, I know the two of you need some time alone, I can feel your wolf's stress, but for my sake please use the spare room."

I nodded, Paul understood how I felt ever since Emily Mc Stupid Muffin arrived in La Push, Bella and I had not had a second to our selves. With Quil living with us it was hard enough to have alone time but as soon as there is any drama the pack automatically turn like puppies and end up on our door step. As soon as this storm is over Quil the fucking cockblocker is moving out, even if I have to build him his own place. Bella would just about kiss me while he was in the house, and because of the Sam/Leah/Emily triangle and the Paul/Lauren disaster I hadn't been able to schedule patrols that had him out of the area when I was home. So we hadn't had sex since Christmas Eve. A week without bonding with my mate was not good for my wolf or my body, especially since we had been used to a more physical relationship. Shit who am I trying to kid, I feel like I will explode if I don't touch, taste or feel my mate under me, over me, on me, around me, soon. I had blue balls when I was around her before we slept together but now I think they had actually tied up tight with elastic bands, I had to wear sweats or basketball shorts as I think I would get gangrene if I wore jeans because the blood was not circulating away from that area AT ALL. I had a constant boner in her company and I could do nothing about it. I kept catching her looking at me with dark wanting eyes and her scent, all I had to do was touch her, no matter how innocent it was and I would be encircled by the most beautiful fragrance that had me salivating.

I pulled out of the garage and put my foot down flooring my old VW towards Paul's. The sooner we got there the better we would both feel. I didn't even have to look at Bella to know she was glad we were getting away from everyone to be on our own just like I also knew her face was red with the embarrassment that everyone knew where we were going and why. I screeched up to Paul's house and slammed on the breaks. I was out of the car and over to Bella's side before she had a chance to open her own door. I picked her up bridal style and ran to the door pushing it open easily with one hand. I kicked it closed and ran towards the spare room throwing Bella on the bed. I fell on top of her smashing my mouth to hers. We loved slow and gentle but now, tonight, neither of us had patience for that we need each other NOW, and there was no time for foreplay or gentleness.

I was dimly aware of Bella pulling at my t-shirt, I quickly ripped it from my body, then proceeding to rip her top off her, my wolf did not care for clothes and neither did I. I needed my mate naked below me. My hands went straight for the buttons on her jeans and pulled it open, unzipping her jeans with my other hand all the while kissing her with all the passion of my soul. Our lips and tongue both fought for dominance, I was alpha but my mate and I were matched in the passion department and I would have it no other way. Her jeans and panties were ripped from her body and quickly discarded. I raised my hips as she pushed my sweats down with her feet and then we were naked in each other's arms, her soft sweet body lighting a fire on every nerve cell she touched. Our sweaty skin slipped and slapped against each other as we moved writhing in complete pleasure. Feeling skin on skin contact was as wondrous as the first time. Fuck I don't think I'm gonna last, her scent alone was going to make me explode. I lowered my head to the beautiful pink nubs, pointing upwards as if waiting for my mouth to envelope them. They were already round and hard like little nuggets of gold. Twirling my tongue around I began to suckle enjoying the sweet moans from my little mate. I moved to ensure the other pinnacle is not forgotten but before I can reach it she grabs my face.

Looking into my eyes she rasps breathlessly. "NOW"

Like me she can wait no longer, foreplay was not needed we were both wound up so tight we were about to explode. I reached down and placed my cock next to her opening, rubbing the tip along her wetness, not that I expected any need for lubrication but it was one of my favourite sensations, teasing myself not just her,

It had been too long, the need was too great I couldn't wait; I pushed into her and was quickly wrapped in a blanket of contentment. I was home, no feeling could beat this. I was surrounded by my mate and I never wanted to be separated.

Our rhythm was quick and strong, Bella refused to be treated like a doll she liked fast and furious just like me, I thrust against her with my back curved and my face nuzzling her neck, kissing and licking, the further towards utopia I reached, the closer my wolf came to the surface. I knew when I had hit a good spot for Bella when she began to scream and I continued with that movement hoping to bring her to orgasm before I fell over myself. Within a couple of minutes I could sense we were both on the verge and before I had a chance to warn her my wolf came to the forefront and bit down hard on her neck. I was not surprised to feel Bella convulse in pleasure as I saw stars before I collapsed, completely spent.

I woke to my mate kissing my face. I opened my eyes to see her smiling down at me, looking like she had been well shagged. I smiled lazily at her and pulled her down to my chest. We lay there in our afterglow for a while enjoying the euphoria we were both feeling, however all good things must come to an end.

Without talking we both got up and tried to dress, a lot of our clothes were damaged so I had to go into Paul's and take a loan of a pair of sweats for me and a t shirt for Bella. Her underwear was ripped to pieces along with both of our shirts. Holding hands we went out and drove back home to our pack and our family.

The first thing I noticed when we entered the house was the stink eye Charlie was giving me. Oh well that fact that we came home in different clothes meant that it was obvious we did more than hold hands. It was also clear that they had not eaten yet. They must have thought it was better to wait for us. We went into the kitchen and Bella began dishing up some gorgeous smelling lasagne with Embry helping. It was quite informal, yet again Bella indicated for us all to have some of the tossed salad she prepared. She was convinced that all the red meat we ate would catch up with us some day and she was going to make sure that we had our daily five every day, maybe she is right when we eventually stop phasing we won't have the luxury of a wolf metabolism to keep the pounds away.

Once we all had loaded plates I placed Bella up on the kitchen counter and stood leaning between her legs. The house was so full even using the kitchen and living room there were not enough chairs. But it was nice to have a sense of family around us. I looked down at the love of my life playing with a piece of salad and all I wanted to do was pick her up and run somewhere we could be alone AGAIN. Being Alpha sucked! I noticed the tiny piece of food she had on her plate, not enough to feed a sparrow; she always put everyone else's hunger first. I purposely offered her a forkful from my plate, my wolf wanting to make sure she was fed. Bella just quirked her eyebrow at me and then wrapped her pink little mouth around my fork and slowly pulled away with a gentle smirk. The little minx was playing with fire. I fed myself another few forkfuls then offered her more again. She just laughed and ate the food. Then she offered me some of her salad with a smug look on her face. I could sense my brothers laughing at me but I was glad we were having a moment of fun during this stressful week. I happily took the green leafy tasteless piece of plant from my Bells and swallowed it fast so I would not have to taste it. I then leaned down and kissed her nose. The love that shone from her beautiful chocolate brown eyes just made my heart melt. I would do anything for her, even if it meant living on rabbit food for the rest of my life. I gently pulled back and polished off the remainder of my plate quickly so I would have my two hands to hold her with. I pulled her forward and just placed my chin on her head and breathed in her scent. She didn't pull me tighter with her legs like she normally did but I gather that was due to our audience. I sighed and looked around. I suppose we had better get this sham of a party started and organise incognito patrols.

I realise l could smell cinnamon muffins everywhere, it was a little overpowering so I looked around and saw boxes and boxes of said muffins on the far counter. This must have been Emily's contribution. Not sure how to feel about it, was she just trying to help and fit in or was she being a bitch…I really wouldn't put it past her poisoning them. I inhale deeply put cannot smell anything other than, cinnamon, eggs, flour, sugar, oil and other normal ingredients. It's gonna be a fun twenty four hours. I looked out the window and could see the first flurries of snow falling.

Bella followed my gaze and whispered "It's begun."

I nodded. I caught Embry's eye and he immediately know it was time to take first patrol, he got up and came over to us with the pretext of bringing his dirty plate to the sink.

"Any orders boss?" He asked.

Keep it tight, stay together you will not have normal visibility nor will your smell be of use. Take Sam he looks like he will phase any minute. I will send out your replacement in a couple of hours, I will try to stagger them so that there you don't have to stay out there too long." I whispered.

"Okay, oh," Embry paused looking a little nervous. "Sorry Jake, I tried to convince her not to but emmmm when Kim heard it was a pretend birthday party for you she knew Bella and I were too busy so she insisted on making you the birthday cake."

I quickly looked over at Jared who was wearing an apologetic look. Shit this day just got worse, the last time I ate Kim's cooking I puked for hours…in the history of our tribe no wolf has ever gotten ill or sick if it was not battle related, all Kim Conwellar had to do was pick up an apron and we would be all fighting over the bathroom. Those freakin muffins didn't smell too bad after all. Embry and Sam slipped out quickly, lucky them, I wish I could run away as well, but as it was my pretend birthday party I was stuck here.

I leaned closely to Bella and whispered in her ear. "Paul gets an extra big piece for his help in causing this amazing party." I grinned towards the grumpy wolf that looked at me blankly. Urghhhhhh I want my narky pack brother back, he would have been the first to have ribbed me over the poisoned cake now he spent all his time worrying about why his imprint was such a bitch. I wish someone could tell me why I decided to be Alpha? Oh yeah, that choice would have meant I died a virgin…hmmm okay yeah, that wasn't a real choice.

Bella directed me over to the table after she used my body to anchor her as she slid down from the counter. She sat me down on the seat that Sam had just vacated. I only noticed as I looked around that Emily had placed herself at the top of the table, which to me was weird, a guest never took that spot unless it was offered by the host. We don't hold to formalities but my father was here and he was chief of the tribe. If Lauren had done it I would have considered it ignorance of our customs and would not have taken offence, but Emily was Makah and on my visits to the Makah Rez I saw it was also a custom of theirs too. It really was hard to figure her out.

Barbie believed one of these people in this room was working with Edward Cullen. I couldn't believe that my friends and family could do that. So that just left Emily and Lauren, but what would they gain by helping him. Having the alpha's mate, my imprint hurt or kidnapped would just drive me insane and would probably affect the pack badly also. How would they benefit from that? Why would Emily do something to hurt Bella? Why would she try and hurt the alpa's mate when it would make more sense for her to befriend her. What would happen if she got Bella out of the way? It would make no difference to her. Sam would still be with Leah and I would probably be gone insane or dead. Would Sam be Alpha again if the pack survived, was that it? Did she think she would be the Alpha's mate? But Embry would be in line for Alpha if anything happened to me. I really needed to sort this stuff out in my head and talk to Bella about it. I'm sure she would also have ideas. All I could do now was hope that Bella's lasagne had coated my stomach enough to save me from this infamous birthday cake. We couldn't insult an imprint but I really couldn't afford to have sick wolves either.
