Jacob's POV:

Everything was all set up when we got back. The guys had made it back from their meet and greet with the girls on the beach and were busy attacking the food, filling their plates with all the sides that Emily had made.

"You hungry honey?" I asked Christi.

At the rate the savages were attacking the food I knew it would be gone soon and I was pretty damn hungry. I slid my arm around Christi's shoulder. She slid her arms around my waist and stomach.

"Maybe a little." She smiled dreamily, her beautiful green eyes getting a little darker when she looked up at me.

She slid her hand into my back pocket and squeezed gently. Damn I could smell her arousal, not very strong, but it was there. Seth suddenly turned around and snorted looking directly at Christi.

"Don't even think about it." I said low enough that Christi wouldn't be able to hear.

Seth looked at me with apologetic eyes, he then immediately turned around and walked in the opposite direction from us.

I leaned down and whispered into Christi's ear. "Behave."

"I am." She batted her eyes at me innocently, gave my ass another squeeze and then moved her hand back to my waist.

She's going to be the death of me. That's all there is to it. Did she even know how much I was resisting the urge to take her into my arms and run into the forest where no one would see us, tear those tight jeans off of her and bury my face into the place where that delicious smell was coming from? I wanted to take her so badly but I had to keep myself in check, this was a bonfire with all my closest friends not a reason to go off and have hot sex in the forest with my girlfriend. So fucking tempting. Damn it. Maybe we could go off for a quickie?

I squeezed Christi's shoulder with my hand and then pulled her to a stop. She looked up at me with confused eyes. I quickly scanned the perimeter and made a mental note of where everyone was. Damn, too many witnesses, there was no way we would be able to sneak away unnoticed. Fuck!

"Jake?" She scrunched her brows together and pouted her lips in confusion.

Damn it, I wanted her so bad now. Get a grip Jake, come on, ok little Jake, time to behave. Down boy!

"Yes honey?" I answered casually.

"Um…" She looked at my hand around her shoulder and then back up at me. "Did you need something?"

"Nope. Just wanted to kiss you." I leaned down and gave her a quick peck.

"Hmm… ok?" She looked like she didn't believe me.

And then her eyes wandered down my body and got a little wider as she reached the now, very obvious, bulge in my pants. A tempting smile formed on her lips.

"You behave." She lipped at me and licked her lips.

I leaned down into her ear, I don't know why, the fucking pack would hear every word of it and I really didn't care.

"You have no idea how crazy you make me." I said roughly. "I want to bury my face into you and lick you right now."

Her body shivered and she swallowed hard. Her heart rate picked up, I could smell her scent stronger now.

"Jake." She whispered breathlessly.

"Yes honey?"

I ran my hand down her back slowly and rested it on her ass. I licked her earlobe once slowly, enjoying her shivers. I watched as her nipples perked up under her tight black shirt.

"I love how you respond to me." I whispered in her ear again.

This time she didn't say anything, she just swallowed hard again. Her hand slid down my ass and back into my pocket, gently kneading. She pressed her cheek up against mine.

"We need to behave Jake." She whispered. "We – we can't – not here – not now." She sighed deeply. "Quit making me want you, or I'm going to drag your sexy ass back to your house and…"

"Ahem." Embry interrupted, clearing his throat as he approached us.

Fuck! I just wanted a few more minutes to tease her but there's no fucking privacy in this pack. Damn it.

"I brought you guys a drink." He said handing me a beer and Christi a red plastic cup.

"What's this?" Christi asked confused, she sniffed her cup and looked even more confused.

"Captain Cooler." Embry looked up at me and winked.

I knew exactly what that was; a mixture of punch and rum with lime soda.

Christi took a small sip. "It's good. What's in it?"

I opened my mouth but Embry jumped in quickly.

"Oh just some punch and lime soda." He winked at me again, of course Christi didn't catch it.

Christi shrugged and took a bigger drink.

"This is really good, thanks." She smiled at Embry.

Embry walked off with a deviant chuckle. Ok so it was wrong to lie to Christi about the alcohol in her drink, but I'd never seen my girl drink and b'sides s'not like it was hard liquor, the stuff was practically juice for crying out loud. S'not like it's gonna get her drunk. Right? I brought my beer up to my lips but then stopped. I wanted to kiss Christi and beer breath wasn't exactly the tastiest thing in the whole world, so I put the beer down and kissed her.

"Mmm…" I licked my lips. "Yummy." Her lips tasted like punch, sweet and fruity. "C'mon let go get some food."

Christi pulled me to a stop and looked up at me with questioning eyes. I knew exactly what that look meant, she wanted to continue our previous conversation, but now wasn't the time.

"Later angel – not now. I promise I won't forget." I smiled and ran my hand over her cheek.

"Tease." She stuck her tongue out at me.

"Be careful what you ask for. You just might get it." I reminded her. I love teasing her.

I handed Christi my beer and jogged ahead of her to set up a blanket for us to eat on. We filled three plates full of food, two for me and one for her, and sat on the blanket to eat. It was completely dark now, the only light was that of the bonfire illuminating our small party.

Christi was on her third cup of Captain Cooler when we finished eating. She was giggling a lot and it was so damn adorable. She crawled up to me and gave me a long deep kiss.

"Mmm… What was that for?" I asked pulling her to sit between my legs.

She leaned her back into my chest and looked up at me with darkened eyes.

"Cuz I love you so much." She smiled and leaned into my ear. "And cuz I'm horny." She snorted with laughter.

"What's so funny?" Blondie asked.

"I think Christi's drunk." Embry barked out in laughter.

The rest of the pack joined in. I didn't particularly enjoy them laughing at my girl, but it was pretty damn funny to see.

"Who wants a shot?" Quil asked holding up a bottle of homemade honey liquor.

Old Quil had taught him how to make that shit years ago, it was a secret family recipe that was passed down from male to male. It was damn strong but fucking delicious.

"Oooh, me me me!" Christi bounced up and down in between my legs rubbing her ass a little too close to little Jake.

"Hey now." I steadied her hips with my hands.

"Oops sorry." She snorted again.

Silly girl. Quil walked up to us and kneeled in front of Christi.

"I don't have any shot glasses, so you're gonna have to open your mouth and let me pour it in kay?" Christi nodded her head, Quil tipped the bottle above her mouth and then stopped. "Are you sure?" He gave her a strange look and then looked up at me for approval.

"S'ok." I whispered.

Christi rolled her eyes. "Of course I'm sure. What do you think I am? A sissy?" She let out a dramatic huff.

She then slid back on the blanket propping her head up against my crotch and opened her mouth wide.

"I'm waiting." She sung.

Fuck! I knew she didn't mean it that way, but damn if it wasn't tempting me. Visions of Christi laying on the side of my bed with her mouth open and saying 'I'm waiting' to me popped in my head. And the fact that her head was leaning up against my crotch wasn't helping the situation, not one bit. Bad Jake, bad bad bad! I felt little Jake pop up, fuck. Christi felt it too, she giggled and slid her head back and forth on me.

"Damn it Christi." I growled. I couldn't help swearing, she just couldn't do that, not like that, not in public.

"Open wide." Quil egged her on.

She opened her mouth wider and Quil poured the liquor into it, filling her mouth a little too much until it trickled out the sides of her lips. She swallowed it quickly and then coughed.

"Damn that's strong!" She said sitting up and coughing. "But yum!" She licked her lips. "Fuck that's some good shit."

Everyone stopped their conversations and looked over at us. Well at Christi. I don't think any of us had ever heard her curse.

"What?" Christi looked around at everyone staring at her.

"Someone's drunky drunk." Blondie burst into laughter.

We all busted up laughing. Christi rolled her eyes and slid back into my arms. Quil offered me a shot and I of course had to, didn't want to be rude. Yum this was good shit. We watched as Quil made his rounds with the honey liquor, giving everyone a shot.

"How are you feeling honey?" I asked Christi after a while.

"Good." She giggled and then fanned herself. "It's hot."

"Yeah honey liquor heats the body pretty good." I smiled.

Jared took off and pulled his truck up closer to us. He cut the engine and turned on the stereo. Sam stood up and took Emily's hand.

"Let's dance." He said softly.

He took her hand and helped her up. She wrapped her arms around his neck and he wrapped his arms around her waist. They started to slowly sway in time to the music. Embry and Blondie stood up and started to dance also. Christi was swaying back and forth to the music in my arms.

"Do you – want to dance?" I wondered if she could even stand up right now.

"That would be nice." She nodded.

Her body felt like a dead weight against my chest. I got up and pulled her up with me. She bumped into my chest but I was able to steady her.

"You ok?" I was concerned. How drunk was she?

"Sure, sure." She waved her hand and me and wrapped her arms around my waist.

I slid my arms around her back and we started to sway back and forth. The first song ended and a new one with a faster beat came on. Christi twisted around so her back was facing me and let me pull her into me. Her hips were rolling into my thighs, was she doing that – on purpose?

"Christi – behave." I whispered into her ear.

"Na-uh. Don't want to." She shook her head no.

"Oh really?" I grabbed her by the waist and twirled her around to face me. Her face smacked into my chest again. I quickly grabbed a hold of her chin and brought her face up to look at me. "Behave." I tried to sound stern.

"Na-uh." She flashed me a wicked smile. "What's wrong Jakey? Can't handle it?" She slid her hands down my back and grabbed my ass.

I quickly looked around to make sure that no one was looking. The guys were busy roasting hotdogs on the fire while Embry and Blondie and Sam and Emily were dancing. Everyone else's attention seemed to be focused away from us. At the moment. I took a few steps out of the light of the fire and turned us around so that Christi was not in anyone's view. I slowly slid my hands down her back and grabbed her beautiful ass.

"Oh – I can handle it honey." I smiled at her. "Can you handle it?" I loved a challenge.

I slid my right hand a little further down finding her center through her jeans. She shivered as my fingers slid across. I slid my hand around her thigh to the front of her jeans and pushed my fingers into her. Her head fell back and she hissed. I took several more steps back moving us further away from the bonfire, glancing over my shoulder to make sure no one was watching. Good, everyone was still doing their own things.

Christi was breathing harder, her beautiful breasts heaving with excitement. I ran both of my hands over her stomach enjoying her sighs. I reached for her top button and undid it.

"Jake." She whimpered softly.

"Shhh… no one can see. I want – to touch you." I leaned down and kissed her.

Her zipper gave easily and I slid my hand down the front of her jeans. She sighed deeply into my mouth as my fingers found her center. She was so wet for me. I slid two fingers into the side of her panties and found her clit, massaging it back and forth. Her hips bucked into my hand and she whimpered as I found the right rhythm. She gripped my shoulders hard and pushed herself into my hand. Her breaths were closer together.

"Does that feel good?" I pushed down on her clit a little harder and swirled my fingers around it.

She dug her nails into my shoulders and hissed out.

"Good girl."

I continued pleasing her and kissing her. My other hand slid around her back and grabbed her ass kneading and massaging it. She lifted her leg and hooked it around my waist, arching her body towards mine. In this new position I so much more access. I slid my hand away from her ass and down her thigh, hooking it behind her knee, holding her leg up while my other hand was busy sliding a few fingers in and out of her, swirling my thumb around her hard clit.

Her entire body tensed and then released on my hand, she whimpered at my touch as I felt her contract against my fingers. I slowed my touch on her as I felt her body relax.

"God, Jacob." She was panting hard.

"Mmm… what?" I said against her lips.

"That felt so good." She smiled against my lips.

"I'm glad you enjoyed it honey." I gave her a peck and moved down her jaw line and then her neck.

"What about you?" She slid her hands over my belt and started to undo it.

"Later." I stopped her.

She gave me the sexiest pouty face. I swirled my thumb around her clit one more time, making her whimper.

"Do you want more?" I whispered against her neck.

"I want to go home and take care of you too." She sighed. "Please Jake, I want to feel you – inside of me." She slid her hand down the front of my jeans and cupped my hard on, making it so difficult to resist her. "Please?"

She looked up at me with pleading eyes. How could I say no to that? Her lips found mine and pressed against them urgently. Her tongue pushing its way into my mouth and she was panting heavily. Her scent was so sweet – almost too sweet, sickeningly sweet. My nose was burning from the sweetness. What the fuck? I broke away from her spinning her around behind my body and shielding her. Fucking leech! I could smell it plain as day and it was close by.

"Wh-wh-what's going on?" Christi stuttered.

I was growling loud, snarling, there was no way a fucking leech would come near my girl. No fucking way! I looked around frantically for the source of that sickeningly sweet smell.

"J-J-Jake?" She stuttered again.

"Shh…" I commanded. I'm sure the fucking bloodsucker had already heard us. Probably stalking us like prey as we spoke.

My whole body was shaking, I needed to phase, but I was terrified for my girl, I didn't want her here anymore, I needed to get her away and fast! I spun around and grabbed her into my arms.

"Ja-cob!" She cried out unexpectedly as I pulled her closer to me. Her whole body was shaking.
"Christi – please." I pressed my forehead against hers. "Honey – do you trust me?" I didn't have time for questions, but I needed to get her somewhere safe.

"Y-y-yes." She shook her head up and down nervously.

"I need to get you out of here, please, don't be scared, I'm going to take care of you." I leaned in and pressed my lips against hers hard and took off running as fast as I could.

She gasped as I released her lips and she took in my speed. She wrapped her arms around my neck tightly and buried her face into my chest. We reached the others quickly, Sam, Quil, Embry, Paul, Jared and Seth were standing in a V-formation at the edge of the bonfire, Sam was at the peek of the V. All of them were at attention, hands balled into fists and shaking. Sam was the only one in control of his body, he looked around and growled when I came into view.

"It's Jake." He said sternly.

I set Christi down. "Go to Emily." I leaned down and kissed her one more time and then pushed her in Emily's direction.

Emily and Blondie were standing near the fire, Blondie looked terrified and confused.

"What's going on?" Blondie asked clutching onto Christi for dear life as soon as she approached her and Emily.

"I don't know?" Christi whispered and looked at me.

My heart was breaking for her, I didn't want her to be scared and I didn't want her to be in danger.

"Jake!" Sam yelled out.

I quickly took my place on his right flank.

"Seth, take my truck and the girls back to Jake's. Now!" Sam ordered.

Seth jogged over to the girls. Blondie was whimpering, Emily and Christi looked back at us with pleading eyes. My eyes locked on Christi.

"I love you." She lipped.

"Jake!" My head snapped back as Sam called me.

I couldn't afford any distractions right now. We took off running into the forest, quickly peeling off our clothes and phased. The sickeningly sweet smell was so much stronger through my wolf nose, it made my eyes water and my nose burn. I can't believe how fucking close it had been to me and Christi.

'We will look there first then.' Sam said invading my thoughts.

We ran back to the spot where Christi and I had been and spread out.

'Don't get too far from each other, stay close.' Sam warned Jared and Paul as they took off.

They quickly doubled back and joined us.

'Got the trail!' Embry called out and took off running.

'Embry! Fall back, now!' Sam commanded.

With a loud yelp, Embry stopped and came back to us. We then all took off running. My mind went back to Christi and the girls, I hoped they would be safe, I needed them to be safe, I needed her to be safe.

'Head in the hunt Jake.' Sam reminded gently. 'Don't make me give an order.'

'Right.' I shook my head and continued to follow the sickening smell.

The scent got stronger as we ran. Sam growled loudly and came to a sudden stop. We all stopped instantly, snarls and growls breaking through the silence. There it was in the trees above us and there was nothing we could do.

'I think I can reach it!' Paul yelled out and crouched back getting ready to spring.

'No Paul!' Sam commanded.

A sinister laugh rang out from the trees above us.
