After a lot of discussion, Bella, Jake, and Paul had decided that Paul's home could accommodate them the best. It was becoming too hard for them to be apart. It was a hard sell for Billy, but he eventually agreed that Rachel had been talking about moving back to La Push to become the curator of the new heritage center. If they could add a wheelchair accessible in-law suite so he could have some privacy while still getting help when he needed it, then he would give the little red home to Rachel.

Billy provided half the budget for the renovations. They'd been prepared to take out a small line of credit to pay for the other half, but Charlie, Renee, and Phil had given them the rest. Bella had cried when Charlie, Renee, and Phil had told them the good news, telling them that they wanted to give them a good start on their life together and to save their money for tuition and books instead. Finally, after six weeks of construction at Paul's home, the space was ready and it was time to move in.

Bella's nerves were shot after weeks of trying to get her things packed and help Jake and Billy pack everything in their small red home. She had cried along with them as they had finally gone through Sarah's things and decided what to keep and what to donate or pass on to others. Paul and Jake had done the heavy lifting, but Bella had been fighting depression and frustration that she couldn't direct the move as much as she wanted to. At the end of the day, she couldn't see where to place things or how things looked, so she was relegated to telling everyone what boxes went where and bringing drinks and snacks. She hated it.

While everyone was busy, she slipped away to the back deck to have some time alone, sniffling as she curled up in one of the handmade adirondack chairs. Billy had been watching her while everyone was busy carrying in boxes and putting together furniture. When she fled the house, visibly upset, he halted the boys from going after her. Instead, he rolled through the living room and out onto the deck to join her. He took her hand while she wept softly. He understood the frustration of not being able to do what you wanted to, to not be able to handle everything you used to be able to, and to even be jealous of the people who could.

They sat quietly on the back deck as he reassured her in his quiet wise way that time would help her to adapt and that it was okay to let her loved ones help fill in the gaps where needed. She would find her footing and she, Paul, and Jake would learn how they worked together in time. Bella dried her tears and hugged his neck before kissing his weathered cheek. Storm of emotion passed, they went back inside to start a huge celebratory meal for the Pack and their families.

Jake helped his dad get settled for the night in his new suite, making sure everything was set up and that he could reach his things on the nightstand and get to his chair to get in and out of bed. Billy finally laughed and told him to go enjoy his first night in their home with his mates. Jake kissed his dad's forehead and left him to it.

He switched off lights as he walked through the main living space, heading back to the master bedroom, pausing to lean in the doorway and watch as Paul massaged a naked and relaxing Bella in the center of their oversized bed. The room smelled of warm vanilla massage oil, vanilla scented candles adding to the ambience.

Paul spoke in a low soothing tone so he wouldn't startle Bella, telling Jake to strip and join them. Jake wasted no time complying before moving to rest Bella's head in his lap as she turned over for Paul to continue the massage.

Jake held his hands out to Paul and the other man squeezed some oil into his palms. Bella let out a soft moan of pleasure as Jake spread the oil over her breasts and abdomen while Paul began working from the soles of her feet up.

They took their time working every ounce of tension from her supple body. Paul spread her legs to concentrate on her inner thighs while Jake massaged her breasts, paying more attention to her nipples as her breathing sped up and Paul slipped his fingers along her folds and finally inside her body.

Jake dipped his head down to kiss her deeply as she found her peak, body arching into their touch; he continued to work her hardened nipples as Paul worked his cock inside her tight passage. Jake swallowed her whimpers and cries of passion as Paul moved forcefully inside her, his tongue stroking and mimicking the movements.

Paul watched Jacob kiss Bella while he filled her body. She was so tight and slick from the massage and her first orgasm. The sight of them together made everything more intense for him as he took her welcoming body. He slid his thumb to her swollen clit and caressed her as he drove them both toward climax; he could feel himself thickening, ready to pour himself inside her.

Bella began to tremble as Jake and Paul played her body expertly. Jake murmured soft endearments to her as, between one stroke from Paul and the next, she came. Paul groaned her name as he pushed deep and stilled, panting as he released with her.

Jake kissed them both as they relaxed and Paul moved to lie on Bella's other side. He was so hard he couldn't help but grunt a little as Paul gripped his hip and drew him in closer.

Bella hummed contentedly and reached to cup his heavy sac. She played with him until he was writhing under her touch, getting him so close that it was almost painful. Paul whispered in her ear and she slowed her movements until Paul leaned over her and engulfed Jacob's thick length in his mouth, sucking him enthusiastically as Bella resumed stroking his base and sensitive balls.

Jake whispered curses as they worked him together, his toes tingling with impending climax. He groaned raggedly as Bella delicately slid her finger inside him, searching out his prostate like Paul had taught her and working it.

He came so hard he saw stars, Paul swallowing around him while Bella gently massaged his gland, both working him through the intense orgasm until he went limp against the mattress. He chuckled huskily as Paul teased him affectionately while they curled up together to enjoy the afterglow. Jake fell asleep curled around Bella with his leg tucked between Paul's.
