It's with a sad heart that I give you the final chapter of Claim... Thank you all for joining me on this ride and all the amazing support and kind words that you have left.

"I don't think I can let you go," He softly spoke as I ran my fingers through his hair and down his back. I couldn't and wouldn't deny the smile that grew on my face. If after one night I had felt whole, I couldn't help but wonder what the it would feel like if we were in a relationship.

"If I could do anything to make you stay, what would it be?" he asked a few seconds later as his head rose from its resting place while his cock was still very much seated in me. I could feel the questions growing in my head, but for now, they could wait.

"There is nothing that you could do to make me stay," I whispered, though my heart was breaking from the pain that was shown on his face. I felt like my heart couldn't take it if I left him, like it was his words not mine, that were spoken.

"I can't let you go…" he whispered softly as a single tear traveled down his face before falling and being lost in my hair just as mine had before.

"I'm not going anywhere." I almost cried as I cupped his face. The look of devastation slowly became infused with confusion and happiness before me. "I'm moving back… I've moved back. Only Seth and Leah know. It's my wedding anniversary present to my dad and Sue. I start at Forks General on Wednesday." My words sounding so much stronger than only seconds before.

I had barely enough time to take a breath as his lips crashed against mine once more, owning and possessing me where I lay. His tongue claimed mine as he ravished every part of my mouth as he had with my body.

"But how?" he asked a few minutes later as he pulled back, letting me breathe The smile on his face, however, was making it harder for me to do so. I wanted to keep that look on his face for as long as I could.

"I'm a doctor. I was hired a few weeks ago, and I had Leah and Seth find my a place to live. I bought a house just near the border of the reservation and Forks so I could be close to my family and work. When Leah told me about the joint bachelor and bachelorette party we sent Sue and my dad away for the weekend as their present from us. We wanted to surprise them with my homecoming," I blurted out as I smiled, only to yawn a few seconds later. I hadn't felt him soften in me as we talked, so I slightly jumped and felt a little disappointed when he was no longer in me. As he rolled on his side, he pulled me closer to him and tossed a thin sheet across our bodies. As I listened to his heartbeat, I slowly fell asleep.

For the first time in my life, everything felt right.

Who knew that playing dress up could make you feel so complete, that home was here all along?

And here we have it the final chapter of Claim. I want to thank each and everyone of you who Favorited, Alerted and reviewed this story. I can't believe how strongly it took off or that so many of you would fall in love with Embry as much as I had while writing this story. What started out as a thank you to the woman who has made the majority (that being all but one) of my banners; Morrigan (from JBNP) became something far more than i expected.

To my dear friend AELGP, thank you for pre-reading this for me. You truly helped me a lot with the flow in general, as well as helping me make up my mind as to turn it into a drabble or a O/S. Yes ladies you can thank her for giving me the courage to cut this baby up and tease you with it's kink and sweet lemony taste.

To Edwardsfavoritebrunette and mcc101180 from Team Project Beta, thank you for editing this for me. It's helped me with my writing so much.

Lastly to my dear other-half, because believe it or not ladies, there are men out there similar to Embry here, my partner is one of them.

Now you have two days to vote before I close up shop on Claim and possibly post the whole thing entirely; though it will be chapter 27 here. Yes there will be a sequel to Claim, but I'm not sure if it will be a full blown all out story or another drabble to torment and tease you all. Give me a couple of months to get it together and finish my other stories and we'll go from there.

Let me know how you feel people.

As always.
