Chapter 36 – Honeymoon

Sam's POV

"Em, we're here." I looked down at Emily's sleeping form.

We had been driving for two days now. After leaving the wedding reception, we drove to Boise, Idaho. By the time we got there, it was 3 am and we were both so exhausted all we could do was fall asleep. Boise wasn't our final destination though.

Emily stirred on the seat. She had been sleeping with her head resting on a pillow next to my thigh. We had been driving for 14 hours since we woke this morning, but we were finally at our honeymoon location. Although it was almost midnight.

"Where are we?" Emily asked, looking at the cabin lit by the truck's headlights.

"You want to hear something ironic," I asked laughing. "The Cullens loaned us one of their hunting cabins. Its south of South Fork, Colorado off of Wolf Creek Pass."

Emily laughing, said, "They just can't stay away from wolves and cities with Fork names."

"Let me go inside and turn on the lights," I told her.

I left the keys running in the truck so that she would keep warm as I quickly stepped out of it and shut the door. I immediately sank knee deep in snow. I made my way quickly over to the cabin and unlocked the door. The slight scent of vampire loomed in the air, but it was livable. I actually think I became a little desensitized to the Cullens smell over the past week as I had worked so closely with Alice. I felt the warmth of the cabin as I walked in and looked though the darkness until I located the light switch and flipped it on.

The place was your typical rustic cabin with a stone fireplace and bear skin rug. I heard somewhere that Emmett had a thing for bears and wondered if he had killed that bear himself. Off from the living room, I could see the kitchen and a hall that led, to what I assumed was a bathroom. Also off from the living room was a staircase which led up to a loft. Looking up, I could see a bed had been set up in the loft space which overlooked the living room. It was perfect. I turned and went back outside to get Emily. I made my way out to the truck.

"Come on, let's get you inside," I said to Emily. She grabbed her winter coat from the backseat and put it on. Once her jacket was securely on, I picked her up off the seat and we headed back to the cabin. Emily shivered and leaned closer to me, burying her face in my neck. Her face was ice cold from the chilly air. I quickly hurried into the cabin and set Emily down.

"This is really nice Sam," Emily said looking around.

She turned and looked at me and we both stared at each other for an awkward, tense moment. It was funny, it wasn't like we didn't know each other intimately, but there was something new and special about what we were about to do now that we were married. As I stared at her, I could feel myself getting excited, but decided to get our bags first.

"I'm going to get the rest of the stuff out of the truck," I told her. "The kitchen should be fully stocked if you want anything."

I turned and went back to the truck to get our suitcases. As I took them out, I picked up a scent that made the hair on the back of my neck stand up and I felt myself begin to tremble. I sniffed around and picked up the slight scent of a wolf pack. Not a werewolf pack, but an actual wolf pack. Great, that's all we needed, to be bothered by wild animals.

No wonder the Cullens liked to hunt in this area. The idea of them hunting wolves though made me shake slightly harder and it took all my concentration to calm myself down. I needed to take care of the situation before any animals came to the area. I made my way back to the cabin and brought in the suitcases.

"Hey Em," I called out and saw Emily come out from the direction of the hallway. "I'm going to go mark a few trees out there. Hopefully the scent will keep some of the animals in the area away."

"You're going to go urinate on some trees?" Emily asked, raising an eyebrow.

"If I brush up against a few trees in wolf form that should be enough." I responded dryly, stripping out of my clothes as I spoke.

Emily eyed me in a way that made me almost say "screw it." But before my own needs, I had to put Emily's safety first. I ran out into the snow, hardly registering the cold and quickly phased. I ran out about a mile from the cabin and circled the area and spent the next half hour marking trees. After I was done, I ran back into the cabin and looked around for Emily.

"Hey," I heard her call out and looked up. She was leaning over the railing of the loft, looking down at me. I could see that she had changed into a red lingerie gown that had spaghetti straps. The gown was low cut and left little to the imagination.

"You know how they say heat rises?" Emily asked before continuing. "Not true. It's awfully cold up here."

"Well, I should probably come up there and try to warm you up, huh?" I laughed.

"Mmm, what an exciting idea," Emily smirked, glancing down at my body's reaction. I quickly ran for the stairs and took them two at a time. As soon as I got up to the loft, Emily leaned back on the bed with her head against the pillow.

"You know the best way to warm someone up is skin to skin contact," I told her.

"Is that so?" Emily said innocently before she got up on her knees.

I walked over to the bed and moved across it where Emily was waiting with a seductive smile on her face. I reached for the hem of her nightgown and slowly raised it over her head. My body hardened even more as inch by inch of Emily's body was revealed to me. Her breathing began to speed up as I stripped the rest of the gown off of her. We both fell onto the bed and officially began our honeymoon.

"Sam?"

I opened one eye. Emily was sitting next to my thigh dressed in her bathrobe. I could tell it was early. Way too early. I groaned and rolled on my stomach, burying my face in the pillow. I heard Emily's soft laughter and felt her move. She straddled my back and began to massage my shoulders. I groaned again at the feeling of her sweet touch.

"Sam, you know what I want to do today?"

"Give me some recovery time first. You already ravished me twice last night," I laughed into the pillow and heard Emily giggle in return.

"Umm, that wasn't what I was thinking about and besides, I think that's up for debate of who ravished whom," Emily said, before leaning over my back to whisper in my ear, "But ravishing will definitely be on the agenda for later."

"All right, what do you want to do then?"

"I want go sledding."

"Are you serious?" I mumbled into the pillow.

"Yes, I haven't gone since I was a kid," Emily stated, before leaning down to press soft kisses along my shoulders and the back of my neck. She kissed my ear before saying, "please."

Ugh, what a cheater. Kisses and pleading would get her anything she wanted. Groaning again, I rolled over on my back, grabbing her hips as I rolled so that she wouldn't fall off. She adjusted by moving down to straddle my hips. Her robe parted and I stared at what was revealed.

"I seriously doubt there are any sleds here." I stated leaning up to kiss one of her exposed breasts.

"We can drive into South Fork, right?" Emily said even while throwing her neck back. Her breathing was becoming erratic as I made my way over to her other breast.

"I don't know…it's probably snowing again and I'm pretty comfortable. What's the incentive?" I asked.

"You want incentive?" Emily asked. "Does this work?" She reached down and guided me into her welcoming warmth. We didn't make it to South Fork until much later.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

"I can't believe I let you talk me into this," I grumbled several hours later as we made our way to a hill that would be perfect for sledding. All of a sudden a snow ball hit me in the face.

"We can't spend the whole week in bed," Emily stated.

With a growl I lunged at her and we both tumbled to the ground, her landing softly on top of me. She had bought a silly winter hat while we were in South Fork. It was a knit stocking hat that had a fluffy ball on the end of it. As she laid over me the ball hit my face. I moved it back and brought her head towards mine.

"Want a bet?" I challenged. Lifting my head up, I sucked on her bottom lip gently and my warm hand found its way underneath the layers of her clothing and started to move up towards her bra. Snow hit me in the face again seconds later.

"Perv," Emily laughed as she jumped off me and grabbed her sled before laying on it and sliding down the hill. Her laughter echoed through the area and it made my heart jump with joy.

We sled for 45 minutes. We were about to call it a day, but Emily decided she wanted to go down the hill one more time before we headed back to the cabin. I watched with amusement as my wife…I loved saying that…my wife slid down the hill one more time.

Suddenly, I watched in horror as she went off the path and hit a snow bank. She went airborne. With her legs flaring, Emily disappeared from my sight. The last image I saw was the little ball on her hat sticky straight up in the air as gravity pulled her back down to Earth. Seconds after she disappeared behind the bank, her sled continued down the hill without its passenger.

"EMILY," I yelled and hopped on my sled, turning it in the direction she was in. As soon as I got close to her, I jumped off the sled and ran to the place she vanished and found her motionless, face down in the snow. She had to be okay. I would know if anything bad happened to her. I didn't feel like my world had just collapsed, so she had to be all right.

"Em?" I said, moving cautiously down next to her. I ran my hands gently over her body. From what I could feel through her clothes, she didn't have any bones out of place. I heard what sounded like a snort, but I was still careful as I rolled her on her back.

To my amazement, Emily was laughing. She stared at me from a face covered in snow. Her hat was tilted drunkenly to the side. I brushed the snow away from her face with shaking hands.

"Are you okay? You didn't get hurt?" I asked, still worried.

"Only my pride and I might be feeling it in my tailbone tomorrow, but nothing is broken," Emily assured me. I kissed her lips which were icy cold. I cupped one side of her cheek with one hand while placing my cheek against her other. I soon felt her cheeks begin to warm up.

"Have you had enough of sledding?" I asked, pulling away from her.

"Yes," Emily laughed. I retrieved Emily's sled and started to walk back to her.

"Hey, did you look at the backyard of the cabin yet?" I questioned.

"Umm, all I've done since getting here is make love to you, gone shopping, and now sledding, so no," Emily said, smiling in a way that made me want to rip off our clothes right then and there.

"Edward told me that the previous owners had a Jacuzzi installed and the Cullens never bothered to take it out. After dinner, why don't we sit in the tub and you can soak your backside?" I told her, wrapping my arm around her waist as we started to head up the hill.

"That's sound's great," Emily responded, leaning into me. We were half way up the hill when I froze. I turned around quickly and looked into the direction of the woods that weren't too far from the bottom of the hill. Heat started shooting down my spine in warning. We were being hunted.

I looked at Emily. We wouldn't make it back to the cabin in time. There was no place to take her where she would be safe. I grabbed her around her waist and practically dragged her back to the snow bank.

"Sam, what is it? What's going on?" Emily asked panicked.

I placed her against the snow bank and put the sleds over her so that she was wedged between them and the snow. It was pretty useless protection, but there was no where safe I could get her. I didn't even bother to change out of my sweat suit before I phased and waited, looking in the direction of the threat.

Five wolves came slowly out of the woods, being led by a large blackish brown wolf. They had obviously picked up my scent and decided to invade my turf. I pulled my teeth back and growled ferociously.

"Sam, everything okay?" Jared popped in my head.

"Yeah, everything's fine," I responded angrily. Fury at this threat made me feel stronger than I had felt in a long time. I knew that if I failed, they would attack Emily next and that wasn't going to happen. Besides, I handled vampires before. These wolves weren't going to get past me.

The large Alpha male attacked first. I lunged and grabbed him by the back of the neck and threw him across the field where he hit a tree with a resounding crack. The rest of the pack jumped over me. I could feel different bites over my skin. I kicked one which flew across the field where the Alpha male was. I hip checked another into a nearby tree. I then kicked off the remaining two. They came after me again but I head butted one into the other one. The pack soon got up and ran off, whimpering with their tails between their legs. I let out a howl of warning and heard them rush away even faster. I phased back and made my way over to Emily.

"Em, you okay?" I asked removing Emily from her pathetic shelter.

"Oh Sam," Emily said, launching herself in my arms. "I was so scared you'd be hurt."

Emily pulled back and looked at me with tears in her eyes. I leaned down and kissed her parted lips then ran my thumbs across her cheeks to wipe away the tears.

"That was a piece of cake. No problem, seriously Em," I assured her. She checked me over before her eyes narrowed as she looked down at my arm.

"You're bleeding," she told me as she put some cold snow on one of the larger cuts. My body temperature instantly melted it. Streaks of watery blood ran down my arm, but the actual cut had already healed up and was nothing but a faint line.

"So how about a shower and then we hit that Jacuzzi." Emily said, looking down at my naked form.

"Sounds good," I said, wrapping my one arm around her waist and holding the sleds with the other arm.

"I've never seen you in wolf mode like that before," Emily said in an awestruck voice.

"You weren't scared, were you?" I asked, instantly worried.

"No…I was very impressed actually." Emily assured me, moving in to kiss me in the middle of my chest.

We walked back to the cabin, me without clothes on since mine were lying in shreds all over the hill. We laughed all the way back. We ended up trying out the Jacuzzi that night.

We also tried out the bear skin rug in front of the fireplace a couple of days later, though we only stayed there a short time because Emily got too hot between the heat from the fire and the heat from my body. Luckily, I'd had a tent set up in the backyard and we spent the night in there. I had gotten the idea from the time Jacob Black spent a night in cold conditions with Bella Swan in a sleeping bag. We had a lot of fun that night. Before we knew it, the week was over and we were headed back to La Push.

A month after our honeymoon, I hurried into the house after a long day of work. I couldn't wait to see my wife. We were still in the honeymoon phase of our marriage, and I missed her so much during the day that it was painful.

The first sight to greet me when I entered the house was Emily leaning against the counter, holding some type of plastic stick in her hand. She looked at me with a big smile on her face.

"So I have some news…"

A/N – So I know some of you thought he was taking her to Isle Esme, but if Sam took Emily there, she would have had a heat stroke…lol. I decided they needed to go somewhere polar opposite, somewhere really snowy and cold. While doing research for some of the snowiest places in the U.S., I came across the Wolf Creek Ski Area. When I looked at a map of the area I saw South Fork, Colorado and I knew I found my place. I hope you enjoyed their honeymoon. The final chapter should be up later this week. Please leave a review!!
