PREVIOUSLY-

I drove us down to La Push and parked in his driveway. As soon as we got inside, I jumped into Sam's arms, wrapping my legs around his waist. "You have me all weekend, what do you plan on doing to me, oh mighty alpha?"

He growled deep in his chest, instantly making me soak my panties as he carried me to the bedroom.


Over the past week, we'd explored each other's bodies a few more times, but hadn't gone any further. Now that Charlie knew, I hoped Sam would be willing to take things to the next level.

He laid me down on the bed and slid my shirt and pants off, before shredding my bra and panties once more. That was now two sets he owed me.

"You told me that once I'd met Charlie as your boyfriend, my wolf could take you anywhere and any way I wanted. I plan to do just that." He whispered in my ear as he kissed my neck. I moaned in anticipation as he shed his cut-offs and shirt that he'd only donned for Charlie's sake.

He kissed down my body, stopping to pay rapt attention to each of my nipples, before continuing south. Once he reached my sensitive nub, he growled deeply and possessively, making me moan in pleasure. He licked me until I was more than ready and then made his way back up to capture my mouth with his.

He positioned himself between my legs before leaning down and kissing me deeply again. "Are you sure you're ready, Bella?" He asked and I breathlessly replied a 'yes' unwilling to wait any longer.

I felt as he began to push inside me slowly, allowing my body to adjust to his size. I felt the resistance of the last proof of my renewed virginity and I looked Sam in the eye, nodding for him to continue. He pushed through my barrier easily and I felt a brief burning sensation, before it quickly subsided. I motioned for him to continue and he began to rock against me, sliding in and out in a way that felt truly amazing.

It wasn't long before I was screaming his name out in ecstasy, absolutely loving the intense feelings he was invoking in me. He wasn't treating me like I was made with glass, and I was loving it.

Feeling bold, I decided to roll us over so that I was on top and immediately felt the difference in the positions. He was deeper this way and I found that if I rocked back and forth, it felt so much more than before.

I could tell that he was thoroughly enjoying himself in this position as well, and that made me even more excited. I could feel that build up feeling again, and I knew it would be even more intense than the other times. I increased the speed of my rocking and I heard Sam curse under his breath.

"Fuck, Bella, I'm going to cum soon." He grunted as I rode him enthusiastically.

"Cum with me, Sam." I whispered to him as I leaned down, continuing to ride as I did. A few seconds later, just as I was about to hit my peak, I felt Sam bite down on my shoulder and it threw us both completely over the edge. I wasn't entirely sure what had just happened, but it hadn't hurt me at all, it had truly felt indescribable.

Once we both calmed down and I rolled off him to the side, I pulled my fingers up to feel the bite mark that was there. It had broken the flesh but had somehow already healed. I could only feel the indents of a double crescent shaped scar.

"Sam, what just happened?" I asked him and he leaned up on his elbow, moving my hair to look at my mark.

"I can't explain it. My wolf took over for a second right at the end and demanded that I bite you. Like it was imperative that I do it. It's already healed, too. I would say that we could ask the elders about it, but I feel like it's too personal. It almost feels like it's my wolf's way of marking you as my mate, a physical manifestation of the imprint. Obviously, the pack will know, but I don't want anyone else to know about it." He told me, running his fingers over it, causing me to shiver in delight as he did.

I could definitely tell it was something incredibly personal to him and it felt the same way for me as well. I didn't know if it was part of him marking me, or what we'd just shared, but I felt so much more connected to him now than I had before.

He drew me a bath and sat behind me in the tub as the hot water and his body heat soothed my new aches.

"I love you, Bella." Sam said to me as he carried me back to his room after getting out of the bath. The words made my heart swell and I knew I was ready to say it back.

"I love you, too, Sam." I said, hoping my expression conveyed just how much I did truly love him. "Now, why don't we take a nap and when we wake up, the boys can come over for dinner and we can tell them about what we're doing to the house." I suggested.

"Of course. I was thinking of enlisting their help building it as well, what do you think?" he asked me.

"I'd love that, if they're willing. I want the pack to be part of our home together. How do you think Paul will take it?" I asked him, worried about the volatile wolf's reaction to us basically asking him to move in.

"Hard to say, but keep your distance just in case." He told me and I nodded before yawning.

We fell asleep spooning and woke up a few hours later, well rested. I took Sam's phone and called Paul telling him there was going to be a pack dinner, and to grab Jared and come over.

I was once again wearing Sam's clothes when the boys showed up.

"Fucking hell, B, I guess Sam won't have to worry about blue balls again any time soon." Jared said as he walked in.

"Well hello to you, too." I replied back to him with a glare. "Just remember who's feeding you." His eyes widened for a second and he came over, apologizing, and kissing me on the cheek. I looked to Sam, who surprisingly didn't growl. I raised my eyebrow at him.

"Guess I'm not as territorial now that you're wearing my mark. Jared is pack, and my beta, he wouldn't dare challenge me for you, honey, and my wolf knows that." Sam responded to my gesture.

"Mark?" Jared and Paul asked at the same time. I looked to Sam for confirmation, silently asking if I could show them. He nodded. I pulled the neck of my shirt to the side so that they could see my new mark on my shoulder nice and clear.

"Fuck man, it's like she's wearing a blinking neon sign saying 'I belong to Sam'. Did you know that was going to happen?" Jared asked quickly.

"No, and it's incredibly personal to both of us, so no more questions about it. My wolf took over, end of story. I only let her show you because you'll see it in my thoughts anyways." Sam told them both before helping me cut vegetables for the stew I was making.

"So, we wanted you guys to come over for more than just dinner tonight." I began as I let the stew cook in the pot. "I sold something that one of the Cullens gave me and got a substantial amount of money from it. Sam and I discussed it and decided that we both wanted to build an addition to this house. We're going to make the kitchen larger and add two additional rooms. This is primarily for the pack." I explained and I noticed they were both looking at me with confused expressions.

"When she says it's for the pack, she means it. The enlarged kitchen will be for the expanding pack in the future, and the two extra rooms will be for those in the pack who need them." Sam said, looking directly at Paul. I had made sure I was well away from him, just in case.

"Paul, I- I really can't tell if you like me or not, you're honestly too hard for me to read, but I want you to know that you have a home here with us, no matter what. I know you can take care of yourself, but no one, not even the toughest tough guy, should be stuck in an abusive home with a drunk as a father. You deserve a loving family, and even if it's just a brother and sister, you have one. And Jared, if you ever need a place to stay, then it applies to you as well." I said, tensing up as I saw Paul starting to shake, only realizing that he wasn't about to phase, but instead wiping his bloodshot eyes.

Sam tried to hold me back, just in case, but I pushed out of his arms and wrapped my arms around Paul, who in turn almost crushed my small frame as he squeezed me tightly. He didn't ever say anything, but he didn't need to. I knew what he was conveying. We stayed that way for a few minutes before I pulled away and made my way back to Sam's side.

"I wanted to ask for both of your help in building this addition. I'm not requesting this as your alpha, I'm asking you as a friend and brother. Bella and I both want to have the pack involved. So, what do you say?" Sam asked them both.

Paul didn't hesitate. "When do we start?"

"Monday 8:30am sharp. And Paul, the guest bedroom we already have is available, whenever you want it. You don't have to wait 'til we get the addition finished. Both of you are always welcome here, whenever you want. The door is open, day or night, whether it's to hang out, crash, watch tv, eat. The only thing I ask is to respect my privacy with Bella. You guys both have good enough noses and ears to figure out if something is going on, so I expect that rule to be followed. Got it?" Sam said sternly.

"No problem, boss." Paul replied immediately.

"Aww, no shows?" Jared joked before holding his hands up in surrender at Sam's death glare. "Just kidding, I'll be good and respect your rules."


A/N- YAY LEMONS! I've finally changed this story to an 'M' rating so that it's not taken down. In other news, I want Bella to be very pack oriented in the story, and part of that means protecting her pack, which is what she's doing with Paul. What do you think?
