Chapter 37-

BPOV-Embracing The Wolf

As my attention was focused back on Jacob, I noticed that he had a weird look on his face. It was like he was concentrating on something really hard. I smoothed my hand over his cheek, wiping away this look that I did not like. His face softened under my touch. "Mmmmm". Jacobs eyes shut, and took in a deep breath. "Jake, you okay?" He let out a deep cough and crinkled his face up. "You know Bella, you reek, isn't it time for a shower?" My feelings were hurt just a bit, only topically. I stuck my tongue out at him, like a kid. He leaned up on one elbow, with his large hand, and started goosing my sides. I rolled with uncontrollable laughter. I slapped at his shoulder. It brought me back to when we were kids, Jacob had always been bigger than me physically, even though I am older. He would tickle me until I couldn't breathe. And boy, if he ever got a hold of my feet, it was over, I was through. One time he tickled me so hard, and wouldn't let up, that I literally passed out. That is what you get when you pass out so easily.

Jacob pushed himself up on his knees beside me, giving me a break from the tickle fest. My convulsing laughter stopped, I still felt like a giddy little child. Jacob seemed to bring that out in me, I guess it is from having most of my childhood memories with Jake. When I looked at him now, it was hard to believe it is the same kid I remember. I mean yeah, he is the same, but his round face has turned chiseled, more man like. And the size of him, Wow! Every time I see him, I think he has grown. Actually, I know he has, it must have something to do with the wolf. "Jake, I have a question. But don't think it is stupid, Okay? And don't you dare laugh.." He grinned down at me, "I mean it Jacob Black, if you laugh, so help me God." "I pinkie promise Bells." He stuck his pinkie out for me to grab with mine. His pinkie was longer than my middle finger. Everything happening today was bringing me back to the past, pinkie promising was something we did, when we really meant it. The times that I remember most is when I would have to leave every summer to go back to Phoenix. We would promise not to forget about one another. And when we were really small, we would cry, they would have to pry us apart. Back then he was just my best friend in the whole world. He is more, but he always has been, I was just blind until now.

It was so cute for someone so large, pinkie promising. I reached up and took his finger in mine. He vowed not to laugh, so I believed him. "Ummmm....I was wondering Jake, why are you so big? It's just not normal." Our fingers were still intertwined, he smiled and took the pinkie that was locked in mine, and ran it down the bridge of my nose. "Well, the elders and the pack haven't come up with any logical explanations for our rapid growth. All we know is that all of our descendants, just like us are gigantic. We are even larger in wolf form. The largest one of our kind was 7'8" tall while human. I am actually now almost 7'4"." He boasted just a bit. "Didn't you tell me that you were 7'2" before?" "I've grown!" Maybe it is true, I felt like he was growing right before my eyes. "Everybody thinks that I might beat the record." I smiled a weak smile, and I felt my eyes widen. The thought of him getting any larger shocked me. I mean he has grown almost two inches just since he has been back in my life. It has been almost a month now. "Will I ever get to see you as a wolf?" I really wanted to see this part of him. He was going to show me down at the beach before things went awry.

"Do you really want to see that Bella? I mean, I obviously can't show you out here in the open. But I do have the perfect place, if you want to see now." I was kind of scared with the whole thought as it sunk in. "Yes, I want to see all that is you Jacob. But one thing, will you still be my Jake?" He did laugh at this, and I pouted just a bit. "Sorry Bells, I will still be your Jacob, just a little bit harrier, well allot harrier. Just think of me as an overgrown house pet, a big lovable dog." He winked at me. He stood up and reached down to help me off of the ground. "Bella, I think it will be faster if I carry you to where we are going." I really am getting a little sick of being carried all of the time, like I couldn't walk myself. "I can walk Jacob, I do have legs ya know." He scooped me up wedding style. "Don't be so stubborn!" He said, giving me an Eskimo kiss, rubbing the tip of his nose to mine.

I huffed loudly, as he ran with me through the forest. Jake didn't run quite as fast as Edward, but his movements were fluid and effortless. He didn't even get winded, I know for a fact that I would never be able to win a race with him. He suddenly stopped, just inside the treaty line. There was a big open space, surrounded with rocks. This place looked familiar to me somehow, had we been here as kids? I couldn't place my finger on it, but I have been here before. Oh well, maybe it would come to me later. The rocks would hide anyone back here, unless somebody just happened to come up on us. Jacob placed me on my feet, "wait here, I need to undress and go over there to phase. I don't really want you to watch me phase. Bella, remember that I will not hurt you, okay?" I sat down on the cool, dew damp grass, Jacob turned around so I could watch him undress. He did it slowly, almost teasingly. I bit down on my my bottom lip, this was a knee jerk reaction. It had only been days since I had seen him naked, but everytime simply took my breath away. He is beautiful, in all of his massive glory.. There is not one detail about him that is not massive, and exquisitely defined. Jacob grinned before he turned to walk into the woods. I let out a whistle as I seen his tight ass saunter into the dark woods, completely out of sight.

I waited only seconds, and I heard a sound like thunder coming from the direction Jacob went in. I had to blink twice, trying to clear my eyes. There, in the exact spot that he disappeared into, out came a humongous wolf. He walked with his head down, peering out of the top of his eyes. He had his tail between his legs, like he was afraid too. I can't lie, my heart is beating out of my chest. He inched closer, when he reached about two feet in front of me, he stopped. Laying down on all fours, his head was still over mine. He bent his head down so my eyes would meet mine, letting out a soft wimper. Slowly reaching out to him, towards his face. He came closer, never standing up, he crawled on his belly. He put his muzzle under my hand, and nuzzled into it. I let my hand stroke his head, feeling the thick softness of his fur. I put both of my hands on either side of his face, like I do when he is human. I looked into his eyes and seen My Jacob staring back. This is crazy, me with a giant wolf boyfriend. What next, will I date a zombie for all that is holy? I smiled, putting my cheek up against the side of his nose. I rubbed my cheek into him, a deep resonating sound of contentment, rumbled in his chest. "I love you Jacob Black, even if you are the big bad wolf."

Jacob raised his head, and gave me a wolf like grin, showing me all of his sharp white teeth. This did not scare me, I knew he wouldn't hurt me. He let out a deep growl, stood up on all fours, and looked down at me, still grinning from ear to ear. That look was familiar even in this face, that was new to me. Jacob towered over me, he crouched back like he was ready to attack. "Jake, don't you dare." He jumped in the air, lunging at me, with his paw that is the size of a volleyball, pushed me carefully to the ground. He placed his four legs all around me, straddling me, and looking me full in the face. He let his tongue loll out to the side, and ran it up the entirety of my face. "Ewwww, yuck Jake, you are too slobbery. " I batted at his nose, pushing him away. Jacob laid down beside me, and that same sound began to soothe me. I rolled to my side, putting my arm around his back, scooting closer so I could feel his warm fur against me. He looked at me, and whined a little, not able to talk, but I knew what he was saying. He loved me! It is weird that I know what he is thinking even in this form. As I let his "Purrs" push me into a deep sleep. I am happy and content, here in the embrace of My Wolf.
