A/N: Hi. I'm sorry. School started up again, and my grades aren't what I want them to be, so I'm trying to change my studying style to pull them up a bit. OMG! It's been a year since I've started this story, and looking back, this isn't the way I had planned on doing it, but I feel this way is so much better than what I had originally thought up.

So, I'm going to apologize for the horrible updating style that I've adopted. I'm trying.

Anyways. I think the theme of this chapter and a bit of the last chapter are hilarious. I mean, picture it. Emmett running away from his sexually frustrated mate like he was on fire, just because he's terrified of Sam.

I named this chapter after the song Treasure by Bruno Mars.

"Treasure, that is what you are
Honey, you're my golden star
You know you can make my wish come true
If you let me treasure you
If you let me treasure you"

~Treasure by Bruno Mars

Last time: My thoughts turned to Emmett.

He's been avoiding me these past couple of days. Every time I try something with him, he pushes me away and gives me some lame excuse.

It really hurts to be pushed away so much. I want him so badly. Why doesn't he want me too? Am I not appealing to him? Do I freak him out because I'm a shape-shifter and he's now a human?

I guess I'll just have to keep trying. He can't keep saying no to me. I'll crack him soon.

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters that are in this story, except Ariya. She is my own little creation.

Emmett POV

She is trying to kill me.

Walking around like there's nothing wrong while touching me the way that she does!

It is pure torture.

And her kisses. Oh don't get me started on her kisses. Teasing, playful, passionate, and always leaving me wanting for more.

She knows just how to make my heart race, which, after 51 years of being a vampire, felt very strange.

My never-ever-heard-or-thought-of-before transition from vampire to human definitely changed things in our lives. I am still not used to everything, especially the difference in my eye color. I don't miss the golden eyes. They were so strange, so noticeably different. I couldn't remember what I truly looked like as a human, but now, I know I look better this way.

Tanned skin looks so much better with my dark hair and icy blue eyes than the deathly pale color. I find that Ari likes it when I don't shave every morning, always making sure to kiss me extra hard, or just rub her hands on my face when we make out.

Jacob tells me that it's both the woman in her, as well as the wolf in her to love it when I get really dirty and sweaty and scruffy. This all prompts me to shower and shave every chance I get.

I seriously don't want Sam to kill me.

Weirdly, Jake and I have become such great friends. He's been there trying to help me figure out what the differences are between vampire me, and newly human me.

We've realized that my skin isn't like granite anymore, but isn't as soft as human skin, which means I get to keep my muscles much easier. And I'm still incredibly strong compared to other humans. Hell, I am built like a bear. My senses, like hearing, seeing, and smelling, aren't like what they were before, but they're still really good.

Oh! One important thing we've discovered, blood is disgusting. Like, repulsive.

The Elders kept testing me by cutting themselves around me. I actually threw up when I tasted blood on a burger that that bastard Old Quil gave me.

I swear, the only one that likes me, is Elder Uley. He's great. I really look up to him and go to him for guidance about my role as Ari's imprint. Worst thing, he's pushing me for great-grandbabies.

I'm the only one that Jake told about Ari and I having Alpha babies yet.

Which brings me back to my tease of a mate. I don't think she understands that she has a pack of wolves that would kill for her. And they would kill me if they found out that we were thinking about having sex.

Don't get me wrong. I want her. Very badly. I still have those vampire mating instincts in myself. I have a feeling that if she continues to do this, I won't be held accountable for my actions.

I'm surprised I haven't given in yet.

Which brings me to today.

We're going to the cliffs to do some diving, and I am kind of scared to see what she'll be wearing.

Normal POV

Ariya tried as hard as she could to not run over to the closet and quick grab something to cover herself with. She ran her hands down her body, feeling the black fabric that covered parts of her body.

Sighing, she was happy that her phasing changed her body shape slightly. She was a bit full figured and curvy before, having a bit of a stomach. But now, the change has made her body more toned, more fit. Whatever traces of fat that were on her stomach, were gone, leaving a smooth belly. Her butt was more firm, not losing its full shape, with wide hips that showed the signs of her readiness to mate.

It was nice to see those slight changes, but she still was in that mindset that she does not have the body to be wearing this little black Victoria's Secret bathing suit.

(A/N: It is the 'Beach Sexy Fabulous Push-Up Triangle Top shown with double string bottom' bikini)

Ariya took one long last look in the mirror, sighing, before turning to go down the stairs. She knew her mate was out with the rest of the guys, setting up at the cliffs. Her and the rest of the girls went to the mall, buying swimsuits that would make the boys' heads turn.

Walking down the stairs, she tried to feel as sexy as the girls said she looked. Because she was a wolf, she would be the only one warm enough to wear a two-piece swimsuit. As she got to the bottom of the stairs, she took a deep breath before walking through the doorway and into the kitchen.

'I hope this works.'

Silence took over the room as everyone got a look at Ariya.

All of a sudden, there were catcalls and, no pun intended, wolf whistles.

Ariya blushed, making her way over to where she saw her man, who was staring intensely at her, his jaw dropped. She walked to stand in front of him, putting her hands on her hips, pushing her hips slightly to the side, cocking her head.

"Hey." She giggled at the awed look on his face. Moving closer to him, she lifted her hand and used two fingers to close his mouth. "You're going to catch a lot of flies if you keep that mouth open." She smirked at him. Walking forward slightly to rest her hands on his chest, she leaned in to him. "So, does that mean you like the swimsuit?"

Emmett made a little strangled noise in the back of his throat that sounded very similar to a growl. She leaned in to kiss him on the lips, feeling his arms wrap around her body, but she teased him, pulling away when he wanted to deepen the kiss.

Pulling completely away from his body, she went to the girls. "Are we going to the beach, or what?"

They giggled and ran out the door, leaving behind the guys who were openly gaping at Ariya's boldness. Emmett looked to be having an internal struggle.

Without so much as a glance at the rest of the guys, he ran off after the girls, leaving behind a bunch of laughing wolves, and one severely pissed off wolf.

Going to the beach, Emmett groaned at the sight of the girls helping each other with putting on sunblock. Ariya knew he was standing there watching, and so she went to put her hair up, stretching slightly as she went. Then, she bent over, wiggling her butt in his direction to put the towel down.

With a speed that seemed almost inhuman, Emmett was there behind her back, pulling her body into his. She turned in his arms and looked up at him, her eyes wide and nibbling on her bottom lip. He gently extracted the lip from her teeth, and then rubbed it between his fingers.

Emmett bent down, lifting her up to meet him halfway, and brushed his lips against hers. Ariya wrapped her arms around his neck, and pulled him into a bruising kiss. They continued to make out like this until they heard a large growl.

Sam obviously did not like seeing his baby sister on display like she was. He had never seen her wearing so little to cover her body, and he did not like the attention that it would, ultimately, give her.

The way that Emmett was looking at his baby sister in the kitchen that morning, was a little too heated and intense for his liking.

He knew for a fact that they hadn't had sex yet, and he was sure as hell not ready for that to change.

And now, the way they were making out on the beach, it looked like they were ready to change his baby sister from a girl, to a woman.

That is definitely something that Sam is not ready to happen. So, he was ready to do whatever he can to make sure that it doesn't happen.

At that moment, seeing that boy basically ravaging her mouth, he did the best thing that he could think of, he growled, knowing that that would make them part. Because there was no way that his precious, innocent Ari would ever continue to do that in his presence.

Right?

Wrong.

Ariya, hearing the growl, pulled away from Emmett's lips. She turned to see Sam glaring, his body shaking a bit, and growled right back at him. Then, she grabbed the face of her imprint and continued her assault of his lips.

Sam was stunned, to say the least. He didn't know how to take her behavior, it was so unlike her to go against his wishes.

Emily pulled him to the side and told him to knock it off, while he watched his little sister playing around with a man that clearly wants to have sex with her. He grumbled to himself while turning around, refusing to watch.

Ariya POV

It's working!

Emmett can barely keep his hands off of me.

I'm so glad that I talked to Emily earlier, because she's the only one that can keep Sam out of the way.

I know that it seems horrible for me to do that to him, but I mean come on!

I need my imprint.

I need him.

And I am getting teased by the guys because they can tell how frustrated I am.

I mean, it isn't wrong for me to want to manifest my pure emotional love into physical love, right?

I don't want to upset anyone, but I don't think that it's fair that I have to play by different rules than the rest of the pack just because of my gender.

The other guys brag about sex. Why can't I just experience it? I won't say anything. I won't let it slip.

I want my mate.

I want him in a way that I will want him and only him.

And I will have him.

He will submit to my needs. My wolf demands it.

And then, he will be the dominant one, as I am the female wolf.

Pulling him close to my wet body, I hear him groan.

"I want you so badly."

"I want you too, Emmett. So much."

"But what about Sam? He won't let us alone, especially now that he's seen us like this."

"Don't you worry about Sam. I can handle him. Besides, Emily is on our side, here."

I bit his lip, and smirked at the groan he let out.

"Come on babe. I think we can sneak away."

And sneak away we did. Emmett took me to this cottage that he wanted to surprise me with. I squealed and ambushed him in my happiness.

My own house. I can make this whatever I want it to be. A house for me and Emmett.

I didn't think I could ever be this happy.

He carried me inside the house, and that night, he made me feel special. He took it slowly and gently, guiding me to the right way to do everything.

The way he handled me, the way he treated me as if I were the most precious thing in the world. The way he looked at me, full of love, like I was his entire universe.

I loved the way he made me feel: sexy, wanted, and in control. He didn't make me feel like an idiot for being so inexperienced.

Afterwards, he held me close, snuggling me into his body. He held me, almost desperately, and kissed me until I fell asleep.

As I drifted off into the dreamland, I could hear him say, "I love you, Ariya Blaine Uley."

That was, without a doubt, the best night of my life.

So, I'm sorry again about not updating as frequently as we would all like. Please review! That would be so awesome! And I didn't want to write any lemons because I do know that I have underage readers, and that would be wrong and I don't want this story to get removed or for me to get kicked off of this site. So, again, please review! Until next time
