Special Arrangement

Chap21: Pulled in Two & the Embarrassing Father

I ran for about an hour and a half before I realized I needed to go home and check on Leah. Throughout the run Wolf Jacob tried to merge with me countless times and go back home, but I fought it for as long as I could until I myself wanted to get back home to Leah, not just him.

I tried figuring out what all of this meant and why I felt like I was being torn in two and fighting myself. The whole run, one second my imprint was tugging and all I could think about was Nessie and want nothing more than to be with her. But when that happened Wolf Jacob became more dormant than anything and I barely felt him. Then just as the pull would ease somewhat and I'd decide to just break the punishment and go see Nessie, suddenly Leah would come to my mind and push Nessie out and I'd just focus on the images playing and long to be with her. It wasn't physical pain like the imprint pull it was extreme longing, emptiness and like half of me was missing. When that happened and she appeared, Wolf Jacob would waken and that's when he'd try to merge us and go back home. When I'd fight him and refuse he'd whine and growl. I don't know what to think about all this or why Leah, why now, what does this mean about Nessie? What the hell is wrong with me?

I was being pulled in two different directions, two completely different worlds and felt as if I was going crazy. After I'd finally calmed down I started my slow walk back home. I wanted Nessie she was mine, I'd imprinted on her that had to mean we were meant to be, but now, now Leah is slowly moving in and I shouldn't be able to see other women let alone grow feelings for them. I believe Nessie is mine but because I imprinted on her, my sudden feeling Leah is mine is because…well…I want her to be, Wolf Jacob demands she be and because it just feels right. I decided I would talk to Billy about it and hope he could help and if not I'd have to decide to either let whatever happens happen or fight it; which emotion I'll fight and who I'll fight for is the problem.

I trotted into the backyard and phased under my window and put my shorts and shirt back on. I sighed before jumping into the tree and pulled myself through the window, lightly landed on the floor in my bedroom. I looked over to the bed to see Leah was asleep but still had a frown on her face. I had stressed enough for one night and decided to worry about what was happening with me later. I threw caution to the wind and did what Wolf Jacob and I desired and climbed into bed behind her, wrapped my arms around her and pulled her close to me.

She remained asleep but snuggled into me and I watched as her nostrils flared and she inhaled and her frown slowly faded and she just looked asleep, no worries and no stress. I forgot that I'm not the only one who was changing or whose wolf was acting different. Leah must be confused too and just as curious as to what's going on and I need to consider how she feels because whatever happens will affect both of us.

Having her with me and in my arms safe and sound made me and Wolf Jacob calm and finally after all that running around at peace. I dipped my head to her neck and breathed her in and let her scent and presence calm me further. Wolf Jacob was glad to be back but wanted to prove to Leah that he and I weren't going anywhere ever again and she'll be safe and secure with us.

I couldn't help but watch her sleep for a little while and rolled my eyes at how Edward I was acting. While I held her she started making noises and then suddenly a vision burst into my mind of me and Leah…mating! It was so vivid and in such detail I was vaguely aware I was moaning and felt my erection stiffen like a board. Leah moaned lightly next to me and my breathing started coming in pants. But then suddenly to my dismay it switched from me and Leah to Leah and the delivery guy! In the vision I had walked away from a heartbroken Leah and bam, he pops in. I started to growl and the bed began to vibrate from my tremors as I had to watch these two fuck. No amount of shaking my head could stop these images.

I became furious and my wolf wasn't even needed to achieve it but he was just as livid as I was. I was so close to phasing, but just as fast as they came the images were gone and I came back to my dark, moonlit bedroom, curled around Leah. I blinked several times and looked around to insure this was reality. The images were so vivid and the feeling was so real I thought it really happened. I looked at my chest to see I had sweat all over me and my heart was pounding and breathing raged; in my anger I must have gripped the sheets because they were ripped. What the hell was that?

"Liam,"-Leah moaned and I looked at her with my lip curled over my teeth.

She was dreaming about him, she was dreaming about having sex with Liam! Then it hit me; earlier I saw her or at least what she saw as she looked out the window and she saw when I was with my family, which means she must be dreaming what I just saw. I was seeing what she was dreaming. Her sigh brought my attention back to her and I gripped her tighter and growled. When she lightly moaned his name again I nipped at her neck a few times before I had to lightly clamp down on it and growled. I was extremely close to stripping her clothes and fucking Liam's name from her mouth and mine in. I continued to growl as my teeth lightly remained around her neck. She stopped moaning his name and her heartbeat was back to a relaxed rhythm so I knew she wasn't dreaming of him anymore.

I calmed down as did Wolf Jacob and slowly released her neck and licked where I bit her to soothe it and she sighed and pushed further into me before turning to face me all together. She didn't flinch which was good meaning her ankle and arm must be ok now. After she got comfortable and snuggled into my chest I pulled her closer to me and continued to slowly, lightly lick and nip her neck; she sounded like she purred and seemed to like it and I really liked doing it. After a while I slowly drifted to a restless sleep with not my feelings suddenly changing on my mind, but why the hell Leah was with the delivery guy and will we ever mate outside of her dreams. Was this just a dream or did it mean more?

J+L=J+L=J+L=J+L=J+L=J+L

I woke up the next morning to the sun beaming through my window and a loud ass bird chirping in the tree right by my window. I groaned and picked up a shoe from the side of the bed and threw it out the window; needless to say I didn't hear it chirp again. The noise made Leah jump and she looked around the room widely with her hair standing up in crazy directions, confused. She looked adorable, well until her eyes landed on me.

"What are you d- where the hell did you go last night?"-she shouted angrily and shoved me so hard I fell of the bed.

"And what the hell are you doing in my bed?"-she hissed as she threw the sheet around her; she was completely covered what's the point? I was pissed I was woken up by a loud ass bird then thrown to the floor from my own bed but happy to see she was feeling better.

"For one this is my bed and two, why the hell are you wrapping yourself up you're fully dressed I didn't violate you in your sleep."-but other people known as a delivery guy did in your dreams I added in my head and bit back a growl as the images assaulted me.

"Why the hell are you growling?"-she said; apparently I didn't. I coughed playing it off.

"I wasn't I was clearing my throat."-I said as I got off the floor.

"So you want to tell me why you got all in my face then just took off and where the hell you went?"-she said while poking me in my chest. I pushed her hand away.

"No,"-I said and turned to leave but she grabbed me and pulled me back. Damn she's strong.

"Yes you do."-she said and poked me again.

"No I don't."-I said and poked her back.

"Well fuck you."-she huffed

"In your dreams, yes."-I said and her eyes widened and her heart beat picked up as her face went flush; she wouldn't meet my eyes. I didn't mean to blurt that out but now I know for sure it was her dreams that I was seeing; I couldn't help but tease her.

"You dream about fucking me?"-I asked smirking as I stepped closer to her and her cheeks got dark red.

"Shut up Jacob."-she warned as she narrowed her eyes and backed away from me, but I could see the wheels turning in her head on how she could get out of this.

"Or do we make sweet love under the stars?"-I smiled and come to think of it that sounded kind of nice.

She grabbed me by my neck and squeezed and actually lifted me off the floor a little, affectively cutting off my air supply. Did I mention she was strong? I sputtered then grabbed her and was able to tackle her to the bed; she squealed surprised and let my neck go.

"You did not just choke me."-I said surprised; I can't believe she just did that, but it was actually kind of hot and Wolf Jacob loved it.

"You deserved it jackass."-she hissed; I rose a brow.

"Did I,"-I said and realization dawned on her too late as I tickled the shit out of her. Tickling might make you laugh but it can be an effective tool in revenge. She screamed and laughed while kicking me; she got a few good kicks in that stung but I kept going. She was giggling and laughing hysterically and I smiled and enjoyed it and torturing her. Wolf Jacob was very happy and neither of us felt stressed or confused just happy and care free, even if she did just choke me.

"Jacob please!"-she gasped between laughter.

"Why should I?"-I asked as I continued my assault.

"Because I'll get Seth on you!"-she wheezed and I laughed and slowly stopped tickling her.

"As if Seth could do anything."-I scoffed then thought back to him about to kill me in the forest and death glares he sent me and realized that was a valid threat.

She snorted and continued to catch her breath. I stayed hovered over her and she reached up and started playing with my shirt no doubt absentmindedly but I didn't mind at all; we seemed very intimate even though we weren't doing anything. I let the hand that was by her head slowly move over and ran my fingers through her hair as I watched her smile as she continued to fiddle with my shirt. She looked beautiful and she wasn't frowning or stressed and it made me and Wolf Jacob content and feel good that we were the reason for it. She sighed and looked up at me before slowly moving her hand to lightly run her finger tips along my jaw. It felt so good and my heart sped up and my throat went dry as we kept our eyes locked and I ran my fingers through her hair while she caressed my face. But suddenly her face changed to one of shock and she quickly moved her hand and slid from under me to sit at the end of the bed with her legs curled as she pulled at ripped fabric on the sheet and grumbled to herself.

I sighed and sat up at the opposite end of the bed; I could feel her fighting with her emotions and how confused and aggravated she was and oddly, creepy, enough I wanted to lick her face and hair to comfort her. I rolled my eyes when I realized that was Wolf Jacob who wanted to do that, I just wanted to make her happy and smile again. I didn't like how awkward things were now and was uneasy; she didn't want to look at me and was fighting her emotions. But wasn't I the same way just last night?

"Leah,"-I said

"Hmm,"-she hummed without looking at me.

"Leah,"-I said more sternly and she reluctantly looked at me.

"Sorry I didn't know I was doing that it was Wolf Leah."-she said

"It's fine,"-I said and she rolled her eyes.

"I'm sure that's Wolf Jacob talking not obsessed imprinted Jacob."-she scoffed

"It's both of us."-I said and she nodded but I could tell she didn't believe me or care which was a little insulting but I let it go.

"I went on a run to try and clear my head and get my shit together."-I said hoping me telling her how I was trying to cope would help.

"Did it work?"-she asked and I snorted.

"It made things even worse. I'm more confused and bipolar now than before I left."-I said and she chuckled.

"Well you don't seem to be acting crazy like you were last night so our goodnight's sleep must have helped. I feel better, it's not as forceful now."-she said and Wolf Jacob snorted like she had no clue but then again neither did I.

"You got a good night's sleep."-I mumbled

"Didn't you sleep well?"-she asked concerned as her stomach growled same time as mine and I chuckled.

"Don't worry about it. Come on let's get something to eat."-I said and offered my hand but she looked at it like it was diseased, so I sucked my teeth.

"How about this: we don't go back to hating each other as much as we did and at the very least try to be civil on occasion?"-I suggested

"But I still hate you."-she said like duh fool why would I want to be civil.

"I hate you too I was just saying let's be civilized about it."-I said a little offended.

"But when you hate someone you should never be civil about it you should be upfront with your hate."-she argued

"Oh my God forget it!"-I exclaimed

"Don't you raise your voice at me!"-she said in the same tone.

"You just raised your voice at me!"-I said indignantly.

"And you wonder why I hate you."-she said shaking her head.

"Why do I put up with you?"-I said

"Because she's hot!"-I heard Paul say as he passed by my room down the stairs; I growled.

"You do realize you're growling at a door right?"-Leah said and I shut up and turned to her with her hands on her hip.

"Shut up and come on."-I grumbled and turned.

"Hey!"-she said as she jumped onto my bed and I turned to her and she had her arms up in front of her with her hands out.

"What,"-I asked confused as to what she wanted.

"Uh you're supposed to carry me dumbass."-she said

"Your ankle and arm are just fine now Leah. And you just insulted me why would I carry your fat ass."-I said and bit my lip to keep from smiling that she wanted me to carry her and to keep from growling at the fact she was still in my clothes. Wolf Jacob and I drooled but thankfully this time I didn't get an erec-damn never mind.

"Please,"-she begged with a dick hardening pout as she wiggled her fingers, continuing to reach out to me. I couldn't help it this time and gave a goofy, smile, grin, sigh thing and eagerly went back over to her. She smiled and I turned around and she jumped on my back. This must be what heaven is like.

"I guess it's true."-she said as I started walking us out the door and down the stairs.

"You guess what's true?"-I asked

"Men really do get morning wood."-she said and I almost fell on my face having tripped over a step. She pounded my shoulder as she laughed loudly. Why would I ever want her to be mine? I grumbled to myself as she continued to laugh.

"Get off me you hyena."-I said and crouched so she could jump off as we walked into the kitchen.

"What happened to being civilized?"-she chuckled as she poked my face. I slapped her hand away and she chuckled and we turned to see Billy looking at us with shocked eyes, with his fork halfway to his mouth. He looked between me and Leah several times, making her squirm uncomfortably.

"H-hi Billy, good morning."-Leah mumbled as she stood there awkwardly.

"Well…good morning Leah. You slept…here last night?"-he asked shocked as he slowly lowered his fork.

"Umm, yeah."-she said

"I asked her to stay."-I said not liking how uncomfortable she seemed and feeling how embarrassed she was, but Wolf Jacob and I both recognized that we may be alpha but he was alpha over us, so we let him speak.

"You asked her to stay here?"-he asked as his eyes got even bigger.

"Yeah but because she couldn't really go home and I wanted to make sure I'd be able to check on her through the night to make sure her ankle and arm were ok."-I defended and he looked between us again suspiciously, making me squirm this time.

"Yeah right,"-Paul said as he stuffed his face and sent me a smirk; I glared at him and told him to shut the fuck up with my eyes.

"I raised you better then to not offer your bed to a lady, but I didn't see you on the couch when I woke up this morning, only Paul's ugly face."-Billy said

"Hey I'm beautiful, right baby?"-Paul said

"Right honey,"-Rachel said as she pat his hand and rolled her eyes.

"So where were you?"-Billy asked ignoring Paul.

"He let her sleep in his room…with him."-Paul said and winked at me. I tried really hard to set him on fire with my eyes. Billy gasped and his eyes got even wider as his mouth dropped open. He looked between me and Leah so many times I thought he'd get dizzy.

"Nothing happened!"-Leah exclaimed

"Not from the lack of Jacob trying."-Paul mumbled and Leah growled at him, so he blew her a kiss, so Wolf Jacob and I growled at him. The fucker was on some seriously thin ice.

"Why are you wearing Jacob's clothes?"-Billy asked as he eyed her and she tried to shrink as if the clothes were just holding themselves up and she was standing behind them.

"Rachel's clothes were too small."-she said

"Trust me they were way too small."-I breathed thinking about how she looked in that shirt.

"So let me get this right: you Jacob asked her Leah to stay the night, you Leah accepted. Rachel's clothes were too small so you gave Leah yours; you didn't sleep on the couch but in your room…with Leah…with the door locked…all night?"-Billy said and we nodded. Damn if he puts it that way it does sound a little scandalous.

"Well you always did want grandkids Billy."-Paul said and Rachel chocked on her food. Leah groaned and I growled.

"I hope you don't mind Billy."-Leah said from behind me. When the hell did she back away and hide behind me? I felt a little manlier though, knowing she chose me to shield her; I almost puffed out my chest like wolf Jacob was doing right now.

"Of course not! No not at all! I do not mind sweetheart. Whenever you want to stay over it's fine with me, you don't even have to ask. You can sleep in Jacob's room whenever you want. It's a pleasure to have you and I'm sure Jacob would agree. I'm-"

"Dad!"-I shouted; he was going on and on, smiling broadly the entire time and looked like he would combust he was so damn happy.

"Hey, I can't sleep with Rachel how come he can sleep with Leah?"-Paul exclaimed

"Because I'm sure Jacob is clean and won't defile Leah and she won't give him any STDs."-Billy said and Leah groaned and breathed oh my God under her breath.

"Dad!"-Rachel squealed

"All we did was sleep!"-I shouted

"It's ok son I'm down."-Billy said

"I swear it's not always like this."-I said to Leah who was extremely red faced. I was so embarrassed but Wolf Jacob seemed like he was in agreement with Billy and remained silent, traitor.

"Jacob where are your manners, pull out a chair for the lady and fix her a plate."-Billy said with a huge smile. I glared at him but pulled out a chair for Leah and pushed it back in for her once she was seated then dished us some food before sitting down.

"That was very nice of you Jacob. He's a real gentleman Leah."-Billy said as we started to eat; she nodded with a fake smile and I could feel how uncomfortable she was.

"So how'd you sleep?"-Billy asked

"We slept fine."-I said as I glared at him, but he just rolled his eyes.

"Just fine?"-he asked Leah frowning and I wanted to stab him with my fork.

"I slept really well Billy."-she said with a small smile.

"How well?"-Paul asked with a smirk and I kicked him under the table.

"It actually ended up being the best I've ever slept."-Leah said out loud but to herself. Billy smiled and elbowed me; I glared at him.

"Well that's wonderful; you should sleep just as well tonight. It's important to get a good night's rest."-he said and she choked on her food.

"What,"-she coughed

"Well you are sleeping here again aren't you?"-he asked

"Dad,"-I growled

"I'm going home Billy it was just for one night."-Leah said and glared at me as if I had anything to do with this. I can't lie I was disappointed that she wasn't staying again tonight, but the last thing I needed was to react in front of everyone especially my dad.

"Oh well that's too bad. But just so you know you'll never sleep that well again unless-"

"Is your break broken?"-I asked cutting in.

"No why?"-he asked confused as he looked at his chair.

"Because you're rolling away."-I said as I took the break off his chair and he rolled backward out of the room. I waved as he rolled out of sight. Rachel jumped up and went after him as Paul laughed hysterically along with Leah.

"Oh shit that was spic!"-Paul said and high fived me; I wiped my hand off afterwards. Billy and Rachel came back in with her glaring at me. Leah coughed and tried to clear her throat but was still chuckling. I all but jumped up and poured her some juice.

"Here this should help."-I said and she drank it down and cleared her throat.

"Thanks,"-she smiled and I smiled back but felt eyes on us and looked over at Billy who was eating while looking at us with a look in his eyes as he smiled. I knew that look, he was about to do something that would surely piss me off or embarrass me.

"Wasn't that nice of him Leah?"-he asked, picking up right where he left off as if nothing happened. I huffed and sat back down.

"Yes,"-she said and went back to eating.

"He's a real gentleman my boy. He was a gentleman and took care of you last night right?"-he asked

"Yes,"-she said as she cut her eyes to me with a very quick and genuine smile before going back to her food. That made me feel pretty damn good if I do say so myself; if anyone could or should be taking care of her it's me; Wolf Jacob nodded.

"He does that, you know take care of things like a real man. He's going to be an excellent husband; his wife won't have to do or worry about anything."-he gushed and had he not been starting trouble I would have been flattered.

"I'm sure she will."-Leah said and stabbed her food a little too hard; was she jealous or annoyed?

"And if he's anything like his old man and the rest of the Black men he'll be great in bed."-he said and everyone chocked and sputtered.

"What the hell dad!"-I shouted and he flagged me off as if I was being too dramatic. Leah's eyes were so wide I thought they'd fall out.

"All I'm saying is that you'll be a happy, well taken care of woman Leah."-he beamed as he pat her hand; her mouth and eyes widened to the point they were almost in the back of her head.

"That's it!"-I said and jumped up and stormed out to the garage. I heard Paul and Rachel laughing as I went and could feel Leah's mortification. There was no way in hell I was going back in there!

AN: Hope you like! Thanks for the reviews, adds, faves, alerts they are much loved. I know this is short but this chapter was waaaay too long, so I cut it here b/c this was a good place to stop & feels like the end of a chapter. Like I said in another AN, Jacob is fighting with himself so don't get too comfortable with how things are going trust me you'll be super pissed lol.

The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few…so I need you to read then I need you to review…I just have to say I just watched footage (have absolutely no clue why) of ppl jumping out of the World Trade Center on 9/11. To think you have to make the choice to either die by burning or die by falling is just horrible & I can only imagine what they must have thought & felt or how the people in the planes and on the floors in direct line of the planes felt as it closed in. I cringed along with the firefighters who had to hear the horrible sound of bodies slamming into the ground & on the roof. It absolutely broke my heart & made me cry watching that & it saddens me that it's evil like that in the world or that ppl were actually making jokes in comments or trumping up this "the government did it" crusade. It makes me more proud of being an American & more saddened by the hatred in humanity around the world. It made me realize you can leave the house & not come back or someone you love could leave the house & you'll never see them again. Love the ones you have & treasure your freedom that our troops are defending & dying for, no matter the country you live in. God Bless & be safe.
