Chapter24

Sam walked from the kitchen headed for Bella's bedroom slowly coming to a stop as he reached the dining room. He raised his head to the far wall of the room to a book shelf that sat perfectly fitted in the corner. He didn't look at the books, or even their titles, instead he looked at the clock that sat in the middle of the top shelf.

"Nine o'clock," he said as he ran his large hands through his disheveled dark hair starting to feel the weight of the day bare down on him. He was so tired; he wished all of this drama was over, that Bella would be safe so they could start the rest of their lives together with only the day to day patrols, and the occasional leech he and the pack would to turn to ash, but he knew that wasn't possible yet.

So he would deal with what was before him. The faster all this was behind them, the better. His thoughts were interrupted with the closing of the front door; it was probably Jake taking his dad home to getting him ready for bed, and get him comfortable before Jake went on patrol, he thought.

Jake always took good care of his father, another responsibility his pack brother took on, as if being a wolf wasn't enough. The long hours of patrolling, keeping house for the two of them and sometimes cooking for his father on top of going to school, and keeping up with his studies.

Yes Sam admired Jake, it was a great responsibility for Jake to take on at such a young age, and he never complained, it was as if it was his destiny, one he took on without even thinking about it.

Sam could see how Jake would make a great Alpha, but Jake wasn't ready for that responsibility on top of all the other things he had on his plate. Sam understood that, he felt he paled next to what Jake had to take on in his short life so far. Yes, Sam had responsibilities, and even though he didn't have the same ones as Jake had at the moment, didn't mean his were less important.

The lives of so many boys that morphed into giant balls of fur were a great responsibility. He had to stay on top of those boys, all of them younger than he was, and he had to make sure they stayed alive, which was no small task. Fighting vampires was dangerous, even for shape-shifters that shifted into wolves. And now he had an imprint, which was the most important responsibility that took precedence over all else.

Yes, he needed to talk to Jake about taking over as alpha, but that could wait for now. They needed to get through this mess, before that took place, and that really was okay for now.

Maybe they could come to a compromise; it was not like it wasn't heard of for two different people to take up those positions, one Alpha and one Chief of the tribe that Jake was also destined for. Jeez…he felt sorry for Jake, so many responsibilities, but it didn't seem to bother him much. I guess it was built into him in some way, Sam thought.

Sam shook his head and continued on towards Bella's room. He stopped just outside her room, and wondered if Bella might be asleep, he didn't want to disturb her, god knew she needed her rest; his thoughts also brought him to yesterday morning when he went to the field where the pack trained from time to time.

He had spent a few minutes picking a dozen or so wild daisies. He remembered hoping that no one saw him there doing such a thing, for at the time no one knew of how he had imprinted on Bella, and man wouldn't his brothers think of him as a pansy.

He remembered bringing them back to Old Quil's, stopping in the kitchen to grab a paper towel to wrap them in so none of their dirt would get on Bella's bed. He placed them on her duvet so that Bella would find them when she came to her bedroom.

He wondered if Bella would know who they were from, for it was before he accepted the imprint. His thoughts were once again disturbed with Old Quil showing Phil to the only guest room in the house.

Phil disappeared behind the door of his room as Old Quil walked over to his own. He stopped and looked over his shoulder at Sam, and nodded his head as to say good-night and he also disappeared behind his bedroom door.

Sam turned back to Bella's door and smiled, he had to at least see her even if she was asleep. He would quietly slip in to check on her and maybe give her a kiss on the head, before leaving and finding refuge on the sofa for a couple of Z's before his day started all over again.

He softly turned the handle on the door, it clicked and he slowly opened the door. He was surprised to see Bella sitting on the window seat; she hadn't heard him come into her room. It was clear she was lost in her own thoughts as her fingers softly rubbed the petals on the daisies that she had placed in an opaque glass vase that now sat on the window seal.

"Bella," Sam softly said not wanting to frighten her with his loud deep voice. When her head turned to see who was there, Sam saw the sadness in her eyes and the streaks on her face where tears had slid down leaving their marks. Sam's radar instantly went on alert. Someone had hurt her and the only thing he could think of was finding that someone and ending his miserable life.

"Sam," Bella said in a heartbreaking tone. She bolted from her seat and ran towards him. He held open his arms as she dove into his body. His arms wrapping tightly around her to calm her in any way he could.

"Bella, what is it, did someone hurt you baby?" he asked rocking her in place and rubbing her back softly with his strong hands. Bella shook her head, not saying a word about what had happened.

"Just hold me Sam," she whispered. Sam picked her up still holding her tight as Bella buried her head into his neck. He closed the door to her room with his foot and walked over and laid her on her bed and slid in next to her still holding her as she sobbed. He softly brushed his fingers through Bella's hair, and every once in a while laid soft kisses on top of her head. After a while she seemed to calm down.

"What is it baby? Please tell me what's wrong," Sam pleaded. Bella raised up a little as Sam reached over to the tissue box next to the bed and handed one to her. She took it and softly wiped away the tears and blew softly into the soft tissue cleaning her nose. She wadded up the tissue into the palm of her hand and kept her head lowered staring into Sam's large chest.

"You'll think I'm stupid," she said, embarrassed at what Sam would think.

"I would never think you were stupid Bella. Please, its killing me not knowing what or who has hurt you, so please tell me what's happened," he pleaded once again as he pulled a strand of her hair behind her ear to get a better look at her tear stained face. Bella sniffled and then began.

"Um…Phil told me that my mom is dead," she said. Sam knew this, but he didn't think Bella would react this way after how she treated her for all those years, but he didn't say anything waiting to see if she'd give him any more information on the subject, and she finally did.

"I know I should be happy she's gone, and I am, I'll never forgive her for what she's done to me and to Charlie as far as that goes…but, she was still my mother, the only mother I've ever had or will ever have. I mean, as far as a biological mother goes. I don't know where all this sadness is coming from, I should hate her, and I do, but she was my mother," she finally said conflicted as another tear streamed down her face. Sam pulled her onto his chest and held her there, as Bella continued.

"I guess, I mean, I wish she would have been a normal mother, one who loved me and showed me how much she cared for me, who took care of me the way a child should have been cared for. It was a dream of mine I guess, but now that's all past. I know it probably wouldn't have come true, but it's so real now. So I guess I'm really not crying because my mother is dead, it's more of a hurt that my dream will never come true. Do you understand what I'm trying to say?" she said in a muffled voice as she spoke from Sam's clothed chest.

"I know exactly what you mean Bella, and I'm so sorry you had to go through all you did, and I wish you could have known how a real mother treats their child. I do know that if you give Sue a chance to be there for you that she would show you what it's like. She's was just as excited as Charlie for you to come live with her. She's a good woman and mother. I think you could grow to love her like a real mother honey," Sam said.

The room became quiet for a few minutes, and Sam begin to think that she had fallen asleep, but the moment he started to move her off his chest, she spoke again.

"What happened at the Black house?" she asked. Sam sighed not wanting to tell her what had happened there especially in the frame of mind she was in.

"Can that talk wait until morning," Sam asked softly. Bella lifted her head from his chest and looked at him, and what she saw there frightened her, for Sam had a look of sadness and fear in his eyes. Of course it wasn't for what happened, it was for how his imprint was so sad and fear of how she would take hearing of how Charlie had been shot.

"I…Is someone dead?" she asked, almost afraid to hear his answer.

"No! no. no. no, no one is dead, but Charlie is back to his senses again," he told her hoping that news would help her calm down.

"He is…does he know what he's done?" Bella asked. Sam sighed and nodded his head.

"Yes, and I'm sure it will eat away at him once he's conscious again," Sam said biting his tongue hating that he had revealed more than he meant to.

"Conscious? Why is he unconscious?" Bella asked sitting up more on the bed now looking directly into Sam's eyes.

"Well, um…damn…" he swore, hating himself at the moment. "He was shot Bella, but only in the arm. Sue is caring for him and she sedated him, but he wanted to know what happened and why he had lost so many days. He doesn't remember any of it," Sam explained.

"Who shot him, and what did he say after you told him?" Bella asked.

"One of his officers shot him, he um…he went to the Black's to kill Jake and was ready to shoot Billy, but Mark, um…the officer shot him in the arm to stop him. I think the whole getting shot kind of shook him out of the mind control thing," he told her. Bella's eyes shot open wide at hearing that her father was trying to kill Jake, but snapped out of it when she heard that one of Charlie's officers stopped him.

"And he hasn't said anything about what happened to him concerning the mind control and all he has done. Sue gave him a sedative like I said, and he slipped into sleep, shortly after that. But he immediately started to have nightmares, but Sue said she'd give him something to stop the dreams," he continued.

Bella knew a lot about the pills to stop nightmares. Once Phil joined her family, he made sure she got those kinds of meds especially after hearing her screaming night after night with her own nightmares.

"I see…so do you think he's changed at all?" Bella asked. Sam smiled at her.

"Yes, Bella, I'd love to reintroduce your father to you. The man you met two weeks ago wasn't your father. He might even need your help honey; he's going to hate himself something fierce once he has a chance to think about what he's done. It really isn't his fault he acted the way he did, and I for one will find out and take care of those demons that did that to him and you," Sam explained ending with a promise.

"I don't know Sam…I'm kind of afraid to even get near him," Bella said.

"That's understandable honey, but I promise, I'll be with you every step of the way. You'll see everything will be okay baby," Sam said pulling Bella back to his chest. "Rest sweetheart, we will talk more about this in the morning," Sam said. Bella lay quietly on Sam's chest and started to doze. Sam started to move her off his chest and get up when Bella jerked up.

"Where are you going?!" she asked.

"I…I was going to let you sleep and go in the living room and pass out on the sofa for a while," Sam said surprised by her alertness.

"No! Please stay here with me, I won't be able to sleep if you're not near," she said in a pant.

"Okay, okay honey, I'll stay," Sam said hurriedly trying to calm Bella down. He moved the covers out of the way and laid Bella down and covered her. He stripped out of his shorts, leaving him in his boxers. He slid under the covers and pulled Bella back to him, placing her head back on his chest and held her close.

"Sleep now Bella, I'm here, I'm not going anywhere, okay," he said sweetly. Bella nodded her head and wrapped her arm around Sam's waist, and in no time she was asleep safe in Sam's arms.

They had slept for a while when Bella opened her eyes and found Sam still holding her tightly against him. She stared at Sam's handsome face as he snored softly. Sam's long eye lashes feathered across his high bronze cheekbones. He looked like a god lying there sleeping so peacefully.

Bella looked over to the bedside table to check the time, seeing it was just past three a.m. She looked back at Sam noticing his soft full lips slightly open as air from his exhale drifted softly past them, and she wondered what it would feel like to press her lips to them. After a few minutes of watching him she leaned up and softly and gently brushed her lips to his and gave him a feathered soft kiss.

She pulled away after feeling the slight tingle of electricity that passed between the two of them. Sam moaned softly, but didn't wake from her touch. Bella smiled and couldn't help but try it again. She opened her mouth slightly as she leaned in and softly pressed her lips to his again, only this time as she moved her lips against his she felt a tingle flittering in her stomach enjoying the touch of his lips.

She was surprised when Sam returned the kiss and felt his hand move from her waist to her head holding her in place as he kissed her passionately. He moaned which caused Bella to follow suit with her own as Sam rolled her on her back. He released her lips and moved across her jawbone and down her neck and kissed her softly only stopping when he got her collar bone.

"Sam," Bella moaned getting lost in his touch. Sam moved his lips back to Bella's kissing her with even more passion. His hand moved up and down her body, doing the best he could to touch every part of her, gyrating his hips into her thigh moaning with the friction he felt, wanting some much needed relief.

"Bella," he moaned wanting to show her just how much he loved her. Damn, it had been so long since he had been with a woman, he wondered if he even remembered how to treat a woman, and with what he was feeling at this moment he'd have to be careful not to hurt her.

He had to remember she was so delicate, and man she was so soft, so beautiful. He wanted her so badly that his cock was as hard as steel. All he wanted to do was pound into this woman until she was buried deep into this bed.

"I was dreaming of kissing you and touching you, and when you woke me with a kiss it was like bringing my dream to life," he whispered kissing her again. Sam brought his hand up and under her tank top brushing the underside of her breast. Bella gasped and Sam stopped, opening up his eyes and looking deep into Bella's dark eyes.

"We don't have to do anything honey, I mean if you're not ready for this I can wait."

"No Sam, you just startled me, that's all. I want you. I want you so badly," she said. Sam smiled and leaned down and kissed her again. He moved his hand up farther and softly brushed his thumb across her nipples making Bella arch her back off the bed and moan loudly.

Sam smiled widely as he pulled Bella's top up and over her head dropping it onto the pile that was getting larger on the floor next to the bed. He leaned down and continued paying attention to both of her breasts; her nipples hardening against his fingers as he softly pinched his thumb and fore finger against her hardening nipple as she moaned his name again.

The sound of Bella moaning his name sent a shiver down Sam's back and straight to his erection. Sam released the kiss and moved down to Bella's breasts and slipped his tongue from his mouth and slowly circled each nipple then slowly wrapped his mouth around one as his fingers rolled the other. Bella felt as though she was melting into a puddle of goo, getting lost with his touch.

He softly sucked and nibbled at one and then the other, moaning at how soft, and how good she tasted and wondered if her pussy tasted as good as her breasts. While still paying attention to her breasts, he moved one hand down and slipped it under the waist band of her sweat pants and under her panties. Moving down, down, down, until his hand rested against her mound.

Bella moaned once again as Sam began softly rubbing her neither region, and slowly slipped between her lips and found how wet she was for him. He circled her clit bringing another moan to Bella's lips as she let him know she was enjoying what he was doing.

He raised his head slightly watching Bella's face as he blew his warm breath over her wet hard nipple. He smiled happily at the flush of enjoyment that covered her face knowing he was the one doing this to her.

The breath that flowed from Sam's sexy lips made Bella shiver as goose bumps formed on her soft skin. Her cheeks were a blushing pink, and her mouth slightly open, as she buried the back of her head deeper into the pillow; obviously enjoying what Sam was doing to her.

"Is this alright Bella," Sam whispered, making sure she was okay with this. Bella only nodded unable to speak, lost in her own desire. Sam smiled and went back to her breast. Sam was in his element when he slowly kissed down her body until he reached the waistband of her sweats.

"Can I take this off baby?" Sam asked. Bella opened her eyes and nodded giving Sam a soft smile. Sam kept eye contact with her as he slowly pulled his hand out of her sweats, hooking his fingers on the waist band of her pants as he slowly removed her sweats and panties down her body and dropped them on the floor joining the rest of the clothing next to the bed.

Only then did he look down at her wet soaked core while spreading her legs apart. "So beautiful," he whispered, closing his eyes as he breathed in her sweet scent. He reveled in the intoxication she was sending him. He moaned as he leaned down and licked her wetness from the back of her slit to the front.

His eyes stayed closed as he kept up his manipulations to Bella's wet hot core. The moaning stayed constant as he lapped at her delectable juices Bella produced for him. He was lost in her taste.

Bella raised up holding herself up on her forearms as she watch Sam devour her essence, finding it hard to hold herself up while Sam manipulated her body. Tingles and shivers ran through her causing her to pant and throw her head back every now and then in reaction to what he was doing to her.

Sam placed his thumb on her clit once again and pressed a little harder as he circled her nub. He then opened up her lips and licked at her entrance, and then slipped his tongue into her hot wet core, moving it in and out of her. Bella fell back onto the bed and began panting heavily.

"Oh God, Sam!" Bella moaned as she wrapped her fingers into his hair tightly, holding him in place as he tongued fucked her mercilessly. Bella began to pump her hips into Sam's face searching for her release, but Sam wasn't read to let her cum yet so he moved one of his hands up to her stomach and held her in place so he could finish what he had started.

He wanted to work her up good so when she released she would release hard, he wanted her to be well sated. He didn't think she would want all of him the first time and he wanted to make her feel satisfied.

Sam began moving his finger against her nub harder and faster, taking care that he didn't hurt her. He could hear Bella began to pant harder and her moans louder. "Sam…Ohhh…I'm so close," she cried out.

"Come for me baby," Sam said, as he slipped one finger and then another into her moving in and out of her moving faster and faster, wanting to hear as well as see her cum, and it didn't take long for her to do just that.

"Sam!" she yelled as he pushed her over the edge.

Sam removed his fingers and went back to her core sucking and licking harder, as she came again, she came harder than even he figured she would, as he continued licking up all her juices.

Sam felt he was in heaven, she tasted so sweet, sweeter than the sweetest candies with a small taste of saltiness to it. It was the best thing he had ever put in in his mouth, and he loved it.

He moved up Bella's body and watched as she panted, he thought she was the most beautiful creature he had ever laid eyes on especially watching her come down from her high he had just given her, she shined in exhilaration. She opened her eyes and smiled weakly at him as he leaned down and kissed her once again, letting her taste herself on his tongue.

When he released her from the kiss, he told her to sleep as he moved to her side and pulled her to rest on his chest. Bella looked up at him with a furrowed brow.

"What's wrong honey?" Sam asked worried he had done something wrong.

"What about you Sam?" Bella asked. Sam smiled realizing he had done nothing wrong and she was worried about him.

"This was all about you honey," Sam said holding her closely.

"But…I want to make love to you," she said sadly.

"We don't have to do that this time honey," Sam said as Bella laid her head back on Sam's chest confused. Sam sighed warmly, happy that he could make her feel so good.

Bella laid there for a while and decided, this wasn't fair and moved down to Sam's waist and pulled the front of his boxers down until his erection sprang free. Sam rose up, resting on his forearms, and before he could say anything he was in her mouth.

Sam moaned, and dropped his head into his pillow as he felt Bella's warm mouth wrap around his hardened member, and he was lost, unable to move his boneless body to protest.

(Sorry, don't hate me...I'll have more next time…;- ) hehehe).
