Chapter 29-The Pack Continued
*Just to clarify, most of Embry's point of view is him talking to himself in his mind. If he actually talks I will put it in quotations. That is how I write, if you haven't noticed. Just a little tip....
Embrys POV
I can't be sure of myself, or even trust myself after what happened today. The memory of her, the smell of her sweet skin. Shit, just the memory is making me hard. I put my hand in my lap so no one would be the wiser. Jake has his arm around her waist holding her against him, when he is not looking at her, he turns to glare at me with a skeptical look on his face. I know he can sense something off, but since he can't read my mind at the moment he has no idea what that somehting is, and I am glad of that. Maybe he will be too drunk to care later on when we do phase. When Jake had his full attention focused on Sam, I took the opportunity to look at Bella. Wow, she is beautiful, I am wondering if it is possible that Jake made a mistake about the imprint. Because I feel so drawn to her. We are not actually supposed to be able to make a mistake as far as imprinting is concerned, so I guess I can check that possibility off of my list. Being highly attracted to someone else's imprint is dangerous, I need to keep my distance. Bella's eyes caught my deception, she was looking at me with lazy eyes, and a crooked grin. Oh my god, her full lips, her beautiful chestnut hair. I have to quit obsessing like this, it is not healthy.
I watched Jacobs hand rub circles on the inside of her knee, wishing that it was my hand indstead of his. Her eyes were now staring back into his, and then he kissed her, he kissed those lips, that I have thought about all day. Obsessed about all day is more like it. After leaving Jakes today I had to rush home and take care of myself. My dick was so hard it hurt, at the rate I am going tonight I will surely have blue balls within the hour. I have to get up and walk around, before I loose all senses. I heard Quil shouting at me, "Hey man, where are you going?" I didn't want to answer but knew I should, "Just down the beach for a minute, be back in a jiffy." I took my bottle and headed down the beach. Maybe if I get a little toasty, and come back ,things will be mellow, and not so high strung.

My head was spinning as Jacob released his lips from mine, making a loud smacking noise. I have already drank two of these fruity drinks, not really helping the spinning effect, I'm sure. After the kiss I noticed that Embry was walking away, down the beach. I caught him staring me down earlier, I wonder if that was the cause of his dismissal. "Hey Emily, do you have something that is not so sweet in there, this is kinda making my stomach hurt a little?" Emily was digging in the cooler that was closest to her. "Do you want a Jack and Coke, or a little Tequilla?" Jake was staring at me now, "are you sure you want more Bells, you are gonna get drunk." "Oh Jacob, let me have a little fun. Uh, I guess I will just have a little bit of that Tequilla, I heard that was good." Emily smiled as she poured me about 1/4 of a red plastic Solo cup. "Here Bella, take this lime and suck on it after you take a sip, it cuts down on the alcohol taste, that stuff is pretty stout." With Jakes eyes burning a hole through the side of my face, I took my first sip. My stomach rolled, I thought I was going to hurl, I shoved the lime in my mouth, as I felt the liquid burn all the way down my throat, and hit my stomach like an atomic bomb. Jacob laughed at my expression, I could feel my face pucker.
Everyone was getting a little looser, letting the alcohol induce them into a relaxed state. It kind of reminds me of the way Jasper did his mind control thing. Emily and Sam were now up dancing to the music, and the a couple of the other ones, though I am not sure which two, were wrestling in the sand. Jacob downed his fifth Jack and Coke. He had a drop threatening to spill off of his bottom lip. I stuck my tongue out and licked the drop before it could fall, letting my tongue linger, and pulling his full bottom lip into my mouth. He growled into my mouth, at the sound I felt the wetness begin to pool at my core. Jacobs hand slowly inched up my leg, placing his pinky finger at the edge, and grazed it just once, teasing me through my pants. The wetness, was making my underwear wet with desire, I could feel it seep through the fabric. "If you keep that up Jacob Black, we are gonna have to leave early." He continued to laugh at me. "What is so funny?" "Bella, you are drunk already." He leaned down to whisper in my ear, "and by the way I can smell you, but that doesn't mean I am giving you any."
Seths POV
The wind was picking up, it felt good and cool blowing through my hair. "Hey Jake, do you mind, you know you have a bit of a lonely audience here". Them two are probably too buzzed to even care. Jacob looked at me, "Well don't watch then, or do, I don't give a fuck, if it bothers you that much." I knew he was teasing but it really didn't bother me, I just like to fuck with him, that's all. And then from somewhere unknown, a familiar scent hit me hard in the face. My nostrils flared, and my head fell back trying to figure out that smell. "Yes!" oh no, I said that out loud and everyone turned to look at me, confusion on their faces. I know what that is, it is the same smell of those panties, I didn't have them with me, and I had taken a shower so I know the smell couldn't be lingering on me somewhere. The wind has to be carrying it from somewhere, but where? I got up and began following my nose like a hound dog, on a trail. When I would leave the group the scent would become faint, and when I back tracked and got closer, it became stronger. I walked around behind Jacob and Bella, pretending to stare out at the water. The smell was so strong, it made my mouth water. Could it be? No, I didn't want to think of it being her, I stood closer to Emily, thinking maybe I had just never noticed before. It wasn't her!!! Then it hit me, the only other female here is Bella. I kneeled down to talk to Jake, "Jake, you wanna get everybody together and play a little football, are you up for it, or up for something else?" I said this while glancing at Bella, moving my sensitive nose in her direction. I took a deep breath and fell backwards onto my ass. It was her, I can't believe it! She smells so sweet, even better in person, I mean the panties were great, but the real thing is awesome. I felt the bulge in my pants quiver against my boxers. I feel like teasing Jake a little, "Jacob, you are one lucky fucker to have Bella here." I looked at her and smiled, "If he ever hurts you, ya know where to find me Bella."
Jacob launched at me, chasing me down the beach, I ran at top speed but knew he could out run me anyday. He tackled me hard, and brought me down to the sand. "Whoa Jake, just kiddin." He punched me hard in the chest, and growled, but he still had a smile on his face, so I knew he wasn't mad at me. "Paws off my girl Seth. " I put my hands off in agreement with him, Jake was huge, and he could take me, or any one of us for that matter. He pulled me up with one hand. We walked back down the beach, everyone was sitting around the fire now. I noticed Leah had made it, she was throwing knives at Bella with her eyes. "Ya know Jake, Leah is over there giving your girlfriend death glares." Jake shook his head, "I guess I better hurry before I want to put my own foot in Leahs mouth, you know how she doesn't care who's feelings she hurts. I can't help it if she likes me, I just don't like her that way, she is more like a pesky little sister."

I ran the rest of the way down the beach back to Bella, she looked uncomfortable with Leah there. I sat back down beside her and placed my arm back around her, she was shivering in my absence. I have to remember that she is not as warm blooded as I am. "Hey Bells, sorry about that, I had to go pounce on Seth, to set him straight." I glared at Leah, she did not need to be staring at Bella like that, it made me uneasy. Sam pulled Leah off to the side, I heard everything, "Leah, Bella is here with Jake, you need to leave her alone. She is practically one of us now, since Jacob has imprinted on her. I am sorry things didn't work out for you, but you need to accept it. You don't have to like it, but move on with your life. I will not tolerate you mistreating her." The fact that Sam was taking up for Bella, made me feel good. He knows how it is to imprint on someone, all of the others do not. They have only heard stories. Leah came towards us, she stuck out her hand for Bella to shake, and kind of looked ashamed of her behavior. Wow that's a first. "Hi Bella! It is good to meet you, Uhhh.. I'm sorry about the way I acted, it was totally uncalled for." Bella told her that there was really no reason to apologize, that she understood how stressfull introducing someone new into a group of friends. She was too damn understanding for her own good.
"Who's up for a game of football?" I wanted to do something besides sit here and be uncomfortable with Leah staring at me the whole night, and I knew she wouldn't want to play, she never does. All the guys agreed, Emily finally said she would after a little persuasion from Sam. "Come on Bella, it will be fun, I promise we will be easy on you." I grabbed behind her neck and planted a very wet kiss on her, hoping it would help. "Will you please play with me?" I whispered in her ear, then tracing it with my tongue. A soft moan escaped her lips. "Yes, you've talked me into it. Well it is more like you coaxed me into it with your evil ways." She got up and dusted her rear off, almost falling over in the process. I grabbed her elbow to steady her. We gathered around so Sam and I , the usual team captains could choose teams. Hmmm, do I want to choose Bella or not? Maybe I should.... "Bella, I choose you, Jared, Emily and Quil." Sam chose, Seth, Embry, Paul, and Leah. It was not quite an even match, but we would sure give them a run for their money. We huddled and made our plan. Trying to use my good sense in thinking that maybe the guys would be scared to takle her , so we agreed that it would be best to throw her the ball. Each team was lined up, and ready for the play. "1....2....3....I threw Bella the ball, and I seen from about 40 yards down the beach Embry was on her tail. He wouldn't!? And then, if it was possible to takle someone gently, he established it. I watched it in slow motion, Embry took her down softly to the ground, Bella rotated to face her attacker, he placed his hand around the back of her head, as she fell backwards he put out his other arm to break the fall. He was treating her like a fine piece of china.
It felt like an eternity as I watched the whole painful thing, I was glued to the sand, frozen. All I could do is watch. Embry's body was on hers now, he could have prevented that, with his kind of strength, but he let his body cover hers, and animatedly let his face fall inches from hers. Their lips were no more than centimeters apart. He paused looking her in the eyes, and breathing heavy. If I would have walked up on this not knowing what was going on, I would have thought that they were about to make love. Why is he not getting off of her? My wolf started howling, shaking in me, rage spilling over.
Please review! Will Embry make a mistake this early in the game? Keep reading and reviewing. Luvs and Hugs!!!!
