A/N: Hey guys! Thanks for all of you who voted for my story. I won Bronze for Best Lemon, Best Bella/Jake Pairing, AND Best Crack Fic. I was a little sad that I only got third in all those categories until Marina reminded me that only a year ago I wrote my first lemon and it was so tame and I hated words like ass and nipple. Now I have a a fic that about 20 chapters of solid lemons and it was nominated in FOUR categories.

I am no longer sad. Instead I am extremely grateful for all of you who read regularly and even more grateful for those of you who leave me your thoughts and notes. Thank you for the nominations and the votes.

MarinaNamaste, my fabulous beta, won FIRST place in Best Canon. If you haven't already, you need to read hers. Seriously.

So, here's a little ditty that spilled out of my fingers the other night in about 20 minutes. I love this song; it was my uncle's song at his wedding. I think it's perfect. What do you think?

"Why are we here again?" Bella asked over the thumping music. They were in a small bar on the rez that Paul had rented out for his New Year's Eve bash. It was loud, smoky, and people were getting drunk enough to be stupid. It was everything Bella hated.

"Paul's trying to make this an annual thing and he wanted as many people as possible here," Jake practically yelled into her ear. "Besides," Jake said nibbling a little on the shell of her ear, "you said you wanted to go to a dance with me, right?"

He wrapped his arms around her waist and his hands slid down to her ass pulling her in close to him. His thigh separated both of hers and he used it to make her body sway from side to side. She liked it. Suddenly she didn't mind being at the loud, raucous party. Bella slid her own hands up his chest, taking care to flick his nipples along their path, and up around his neck. Her fingers twisted into his hair and pulled him in for a light, brief kiss.

"Yes," she said into his lips before she licked them sensuously. "And you better not leave my side. I do not want a repeat of last time." Jake kissed her back fervently. He inhaled her scent while his tongue tasted her unique flavor—she'd chewed a stick of her cinnamon gum after dinner. Meanwhile, his hands kneaded her ass and he let one slide up into the curve of her back to pull her in and rub his rock hard dick into her belly.

"Jake," Bella moaned, "you keep doing that and I'm going to have to take you into the women's bathroom and fuck you in a stall."

"I have no problem with that," Jake replied but let her go and spun her around. He took a seat on a bar stool and pulled her back up against him with his large hand splayed possessively across her belly. He was still swaying a little. "But it won't be like last time. First of all," she let her eyes fall shut as he kissed her neck, "everyone knows you're mine now."

Bella loved the sound of that. It was possessive and a bit primitive. But she knew that he was as much hers and she was his. And that made it okay.

"And, Embry and Doli seemed to have come out of the friend zone," Bella giggled at the sight of Embry dancing with is newly proclaimed girlfriend. "Who does he think he is? Patrick Swayze?" Embry's hands were squeezing Doli's butt cheeks and his hips were moving like a porno gone wrong.

"I've never seen that boy more content than he's been the past few weeks. The fucker even said three nice things in a row to Quil." Jake continued to lightly move up and down Bella's neck, feathering kisses that gave her chills. She loved the light flirting and Jake loved to feel her shudder.

"Where is Quil?" Bella asked opening her eyes to search the dim, smoky room. Multi-colored Christmas twinkle lights were still haphazardly strung around the tiny room. Bella suspected that that white lights strung across the dance floor stayed up year round.

"With Angela," Jake said and Bella could feel his grin against her cheek. "He knew she wouldn't want to come here so he made a reservation for them at that fancy place in Forks that Charlie likes so much."

"Seriously?" Bella grinned and turned to look at him. She was pleased that Quil didn't get stuck on Jessica after their tryst at Mike's pool party.

"Yep," Jake confirmed, "he's planning on kissing her at midnight. He's not so nervous since he thinks he knows what he's doing." Quil'd been pestering him all week about pointers. Jake finally told him to go ask Seth, since Seth seemed to be doing okay with Lulu. Their lips were rarely separated. Even then, Lulu and Seth were practically dry humping at a corner table in a dark corner.

"Wow," Bella remarked a little stunned. "I never would have seen that in a million years, but for some reason, it makes me a little happy."

"Yeah," Jake mumbled, busy in Bella's neck again. "You're wearing the honey dust again, aren't you?" Bella just smirked as he lapped at her neck.

"I bought a large can," Bella remarked. "I'm glad you like it."

Jared, one of the older guys from the rez, was acting as DJ and he put on a song that Jake really seemed to like. "Come on, Bells. Let's go make people jealous." He slid off his stool and pulled her the middle of the floor and held her from behind again.

"Something's gotten hold of my heart," Jake sang into her ear, "keeping soul and my senses apart." Bella wondered how he knew this song, it sounded like an oldie. "Something's gotten in to my life cuttin' its way through my dreams like a knife." He spun her out and pulled her back in front of him again, hugging her from behind.

"Turning me up, and turning me down. Making me smile and making me frown." His voice was deep and on key, but low enough for only her to hear him. Bella looked up just in time for Jake to plant a light kiss on her lips. Out he spun her and again and this time when he pulled her in she was facing him in a low dip, his strong arms cradling her safely. He pulled her back up and back and forth they swayed as he continued to sing in her ear.

"In a world that was war, I once lived in a time that was peace and no troubles at all. But then you came my way, and a feeling of unknown shook my heart, made me want you to stay all of my nights, and all of my days…" He twirled her, spun her and always pulled her back in like he was an expert. It made her giddy and his skill made her feel safe.

"What song is this?" she asked during the instrumental interlude. "How do you know it?"

"I watched my parents dance to this song every Saturday night for my whole life…until she…" Jake left his sentence hang as brief look of pain crossed his face, but he picked up the lyrics again, with a smile that made her knees weak. Bella hoped she made Jake as happy as Sarah made Billy. His smile seemed to confirm it in her heart.

"Yeah, something has invaded my night, painting my sleep with a color so bright changing the grey, and changing the blue. Scarlet for me, and scarlet for you."

More instrumental interlude had her giggling again as he spun her some more. When he pulled her back in, his possessive hands found places to tease and own her. Bella knew that this was the reason she wanted to go to the dance with him all those weeks ago. And, Bella noticed that they were, indeed, making the whole room jealous.

"I got to know if this is the real thing. I got to know it's making my heart sing Wo-hoo-o-ye-e-e-e-e e- You smile and I am lost for a lifetime—each minute spent with you is the right time. Every hour, every day. You touch me and my mind goes astray, yeah Baby, baby!"

Bella didn't let him finish the rest of the song because she stopped his mouth with a kiss. He mirrored her sentiment, his tongue wrestling with hers and nipping at her bottom lip causing both of them to giggle and pant. They continued to sway in the middle of the floor while the cheers and applause of everyone in the room fell on their deaf ears and drowned out the smacking of their dueling lips.

The song changed to another oldie, but an eighties classic this time. Bella pulled away from Jake's hot lips and tucked her head against his chest and listened for the beat of his heart while they swayed back and forth to Berlin's Take My Breath Away. She couldn't hear it, obviously, but she knew the sound so well she could feel in own body.

"Love you, Bells."

Bella was too overcome to even utter a return. She just clung to him tighter and nodded her agreement into his chest. And it was all Jake needed.

A/N: Leave me some LOVE. (Many of you already did. Love you, too.)
