Chapter 35

Paul wrinkled his nose back in disgust. Jared clapped his hands over his ears. Quil clapped his hands over Claire's ears. Embry and Seth just glanced out the window and shuddered.

They could all hear Leah's scream.

One of the bad things about having sensitive ears...you heard everything...everything!

"God, can't those two keep it down?" Paul hissed under his breath.

Claire looked at Quil, his hands still clapped over her ears.

"Quil," she asked. "Why are you covering my ears?"

Quil quickly dropped his hands. He had forgotten that not everyone had wolf ears like him and the pack. He looked around the cafe they were at. No one else seemed to have heard two people getting loose in bed.

Claire took another sip of her kiwi punch then asked, "Can we go see Uncle Sammie and Auntie Leah after this? I wanna see their new house."

The boys exchanged a glance. After what they had just heard, none of them wanted to go anywhere near their house!

"Uh...Claire," Quil said, clearing his throat. "They didn't get a new house. Aunt Leah just moved into Uncle Sam's house. It's not new."

"There's nothing to see, really," Seth joined in.

Claire was still looking at Quil. "But that means new stuff, right? I wanna see it."

The guys turned to look at Quil themselves. They, especially Jared and Paul, knew how difficult it was to deny their imprintee what they wanted.

Sure enough, Quil said. "Okay, fine. But later, okay?"

Satisfied, Claire took another sip of her punch.

While Claire was distracted (she was trying to see exactly how long she could sip without stopping), the boys glared at Quil.

He shrugged as if to say, "Well, she wanted to come. What was I supposed to do?"

Leah was lying down the couch, her attention fixated on her legs. They were so sore from earlier and last night. But the few hours she had stolen to relax her legs made them feel so much better.

Just then Sam came running down, holding something in his hands. It was green..and lacy...

Wait a minute...

"My old corset!" Leah shrieked, getting up. She ignored the legs' protests as she ran over to Sam.

Sam held it up. "Now where have I seen this before?"

Leah stopped and blushed. She knew where...

"Wasn't this what you wore on your sixteenth birthday?" Sam grinned. So he knew, too.

Leah snatched it from Sam's hands. "Where'd you find it?"

"Closet," Sam said. "Underneath a pile of other clothes that I will not mention."

"Why were you going through my stuff?" Leah demanded.

"I just wanted to know what to expect from here on after," Sam said. Suddenly, the mischievous grin came back. "By the way, the black see-through thong...definitely my favorite!"

Leah glared at Sam and headed toward the stairs to put the corset back into her closet. But as she stomped up the stairs, her anger began to fade as she remembered that night...

Leah let out a deep breath as she made her way to Sam's bedroom. They had planned this for a month and now tonight was the night...

To her delight, Sam did a double-take when he saw her. He was lying shirtless on his bed and was looking totally drool-worthy.

The night was starting off well...

"Leah, are you sure about this?" Sam asked as Leah climbed onto his lap.

"More than anything," Leah answered. "I trust you, Sam..."

"It's gonna hurt," Sam warned her. "I'll be as gentle as I can, but..."

"It doesn't matter," Leah told him. "All that matters is that it's gonna be with you..."

Sam had given her one hell of a kiss as he eased the corset off....

Leah sighed. She had thought that sex with Sam then had been unbelievable. But last night had put it to shame...

Leah scowled when she saw her room, remembering why she was angry in the first place. Sam hadn't even bothered to put away her clothes after he had looked at them all.

But as Leah threw them back into their proper places, she began to think...

Sam wasn't gonna be looking for the same lingerie over and over again. And right now, Leah's supply of thongs and corsets and bras suddenly seemed very limited.

Leah quickly dug out her wallet and ran downstairs.

"Hey, where are you going?" Sam asked before Leah could reach the door.

"Oh," for some reason, Leah didn't feel like telling Sam what she was doing. "Um...just clothes shopping..."

"Anything I might be interested in?" he asked with a knowing smile.

Leah rolled her eyes. "Maybe."

She ran out the door before Sam could comment. Soon, she was in her car, speeding towards the mall in Port Angeles. From her experience, she knew their lingery store had the widest selection.

Of course, it didn't take long to find what she was looking for. Anything short, skimpy, and sexy. Those were the essentials.

The cashier winked as she stuffed them all into a bag.

"I can guess it's for a special man," she said.

Leah laughed as she took the ago. "My boyfriend."

As she walked away, she could hear the cashier saying, "Just like a teenager."

Please, honey, Leah snorted. In bed, we are teenagers.

As Leah walked through the mall, she decided to hit the food court. Shopping always made her hungry.

She ordered food from Taco Bell and quickly found an empty table. As she took a huge bite, she noticed that a trio of boys were sitting at a table near her.

A trio of very large boys....

Leah smiled as she gulped down her food. She could recognize those four anywhere. Embry, Quil, and Jared were easy to recognize anywhere.

She was about to go up to them to say hi, but halfway there, she realized they were deep in conversation. The name "Emily" perked up her ears. She detested eavesdropping, but she couldn't help it...

"....so it's gonna be a total nightmare when he becomes a wolf again," Jared said to the other two"I mean, we're gonna have to see every single detail of his sex life..."

"Oh man," Paul grumbled, burying his face into his hands. "I remember when he and Sam did it! Gawd! It was a nightmare."

Quil laughed. "I'm glad I didn't come until after that..."

"He only did it once with Emily," Jared cut in. "But he kept thinking about it over and over again..."

"You know, when I think about it, I think it's a good thing Leah joined our pack," Paul said. "Sure, Sam still thought about Emily but at least he kept it to the minimum..."

Leah ran into her car and slammed the door shut as hard she could.

She looked at the bag of lingery and wanted to cry.

Sam and Emily...having sex? Why hadn't she thought of that?

Not that she was surprised. After all, Sam had been in love with Emily. They were bound ot have do things a couple would do. When Leah was a wolf, she would always see an image of Sam kissing Emily or hugging her...

But never did Leah dare think of Sam and emily having sex...especially not last night...

Last night!

Was Sam thinking of Emily when he was fucking Leah last night? Was he comparing having sex with her and having sex with Emily?

Leah stomped on the pedal. She had to know the answers!

ugh! I know...more trouble. But thats what makes a good story.

And you know what else is "ugh?" my fake toenails! they keep falling off!
