Hey guys. I hope you enjoy this chapter. Looks like you guys get back-to-back lemons again. I'd say I'm sorry, but I never am. Enjoy. Don't forget to follow this story to see future chapters and as always, I own nothing.
It was a few days before Bella had the chance to talk to Sam and Emily together privately. While Sam wasn't against the idea, the four of them being so far from the Rez for a couple of days made him nervous. One pregnant imprint being so far from the pack would make them all uneasy, even though Jacob would be with her. Despite wanting to keep things quiet, of course, everyone knew now that Angela was pregnant, too. Bella told him that Emmett and Rose intended to chip in on Saturday's schedules so they wouldn't be shorthanded. Rose could run circles around the boys with her vampire speed, and Emily already had a key to Jake and Bella's house for whatever she needed. In the end, Sam told Bella he'd get back to her the next day. Before they left, Emily pulled Bella aside with a wink and told her not to worry.
The next day, Sam walked over to the house for his lunch break. He was in an unusually chipper mood, teasing back and forth with Emily while he ate lunch. Emily excused herself to use the bathroom while Bella kept an eye on a large batch of muffins.
"Hey Bella," Sam said, looking very serious indeed.
"What's up?" she asked him, leaning against the island.
"So, this weekend. Thinking of having anyone watch the house?" Sam asked her.
"That means you're cool with our little travel plans?" Bella asked, grinning.
"Well, I owe you a favor, don't I?" Sam said, smirking. Bella laughed loudly as her face turned pink. "I see why Jake likes some of Alice's taste, now," Sam said, laughing. Bella was fanning her face, laughing, when Jacob came in.
"Something funny?" He sat down at the island as Bella reached into the fridge for his lunch.
"I, uh, told her I like some of the clothes she gave Emily yesterday," Sam said, chuckling. Jacob grinned, rolling his eyes.
"He's been walking around like a love-sick pup all day," Jacob said.
"Well," Bella said, "Now that I know for sure, I just have to confirm things with Alice. Jake, we're going to Seattle this weekend."
He looked between her and Sam in surprise. "We are?"
"Yep," Bella said, nodding. "Angela and Embry, too. Alice will meet us there to get Ange some clothes, which means you and Embry can probably just go fuck off around Seattle for a few hours. Later, you and I are going to spend a little time together being semi-responsible adults."
"So, we get to go on a date," Jacob asked, chuckling. Bella grinned at him.
"Surprise?" she said, chuckling.
"Sounds great, honey," Jacob said. "I guess you already figured this out with Sam?"
"Yep, she's a couple of steps ahead, I think," Sam said and winked at her.
"How are we getting there?" Jacob asked. "We can't all fit in the Rabbit with luggage and purchases, too."
"Emmett's Jeep," Bella said, grinning.
"I told you, bro. She's a couple of steps ahead," Sam said and walked over to give Bella a hug. Emily came back into the kitchen to kiss him goodbye before he headed back to the garage.
"Hey, Bella, I'll probably just cook from home on Saturday. I'll grab what I need to take with me Friday before I leave," Emily said.
"That's fine," Jacob said. "Maybe Quil or Leah can spend the night here and keep an eye on the house Saturday night."
They better not have sex on my bed while we're gone. Bella bit back a grin.
"I need to text Alice, and then I'll see if Leah wants a night to herself," Bella said.
Of course, Leah was more than happy to have a night alone and readily accepted.
Friday afternoon, Emmett brought them his Jeep with a full tank of gas. Alice had made their hotel arrangements and dinner reservations, saying she would meet them at the hotel in the morning. Bella had packed a cooler full of snacks and drinks for the almost four-hour one-way trip. There was no way Jacob and Embry would make it that far without complaining they needed food. Considering their pregnant counterparts, it was a time saver for everyone.
They made it safely to their hotel Friday evening with just enough time to drop off their belongings and head to dinner. They enjoyed themselves, talking and laughing without needing to worry about anything else for a moment. Both couples returned to the hotel with full bellies and ready to sleep.
Alice was bright-eyed and bushy-tailed when she showed up to go shopping. Embry and Jacob decided to do some shopping of their own. Alice dragged Angela and Bella to what seemed like every clothing and maternity store in the city. Although Bella had not expected to purchase any new things for herself, Alice had found and insisted on a few items. Finally, the three women headed back to the hotel, where Alice helped them both get ready for their dates. If Angela had noticed anything different about Alice after spending so much time with her that day, she didn't mention it. Alice had kept her in high spirits all day with her infectious laughter and enthusiasm. She was chatting with them happily when there was a knock on the door.
"That would be the guys," Bella said, standing carefully. Once again, Alice had shoved her into a green dress, though this one hid her baby bump rather well. Her hair had been straightened and blown out. Alice had trimmed her dead ends and had curled Angela's hair becomingly. Angela had decided to wear the little black dress that Bella had unfortunately outgrown before having a chance to wear it.
Bella opened to door, surprised to find Jacob and Embry both wearing suits. Embry had donned his tie expertly. Jacob had foregone his altogether, leaving the top few buttons of his shirt undone. Despite his dislike of formal attire, Bella couldn't help but beam at him.
"You guys look amazing," she said, letting them into the room. Embry stood stock still, staring at Angela as she turned around for him.
"What do you think?" Alice asked him.
"You both look incredible," Jacob said when Embry couldn't form any words. Angela walked up to give him a quick kiss before thanking Alice for everything she'd done. Their reservations were at separate places, though both within walking distance of the hotel. The couples went separate ways in front of the hotel, bidding each other a good night.
Despite their relationship, Bella and Jake were both awkward and nervous. It truly felt like a first date as they'd sat together in the peaceful restaurant, holding hands and openly flirting. Halfway through dinner, Bella slipped her shoe off under the table and lifted her foot to rub her toes along the inside of Jacob's thigh. He gave her a wicked grin across the table and tried to stay composed as the waitress approached to ask if they would like dessert. He declined, handing the waitress a card to pay for dinner.
"Are you sure you don't want dessert?" Bella asked him.
"Why, no, Miss Swan," Jacob said huskily. "My dessert is sitting right in front of me."
Bella nearly choked on her drink as she cackled. He reached between his legs to grasp her foot and slid forward for her to feel his arousal. She could feel the familiar want for him begin to buzz through her skin. She needed Jacob's hands on her, and soon.
"Well, Mr. Black," perhaps we should take this little meeting somewhere more private," she said. Bella slipped her foot back into her shoe and stood up. Jacob rose to join her as the waitress returned with their card, and they walked back from the restaurant hand in hand. There was only silence coming from Embry and Angela's room when they returned.
They must not be back yet.
"Miss Swan, will you invite me in for a drink?" Jacob asked her playfully, bowing as he lifted her hand to kiss it.
"Mighty forward of you, sir," she teased back. Jacob brought his lips to her wrist, kissing just above her scar.
"Life is short, my dear," he said and slowly kissed up her arm to her elbow. Bella shivered from the heat of his mouth against her cool skin.
"You are too hasty, sir. You forget I've given you no answer," Bella said.
Jacob chuckled as he recognized the line from her favorite movie.
"I always get what I want," he said, grinning. Jacob leaned down to kiss the side of her neck, working his way up to her jaw. Bella slid the key into the door behind her and opened it, pulling him inside by his shirt front. Jacob shut the door behind him and dropped his hands to her hips, gently kneading her flesh as he leaned in to kiss her. Bella parted her lips for him, and Jacob slid his tongue across her own, pushing her back against the door.
Jacob turned out the lights as he pulled away and walked over the open the window curtains. The view of the skyline filled the room with a soft glow. The large white bed under the window eerily reminded Bella of a stage, the city her spotlight. Jacob kicked off his shoes and sat on the end of the bed.
Bella's cell phone lay on the nightstand, charging. She grinned at Jacob mischievously as she located and turned on some music. He chuckled.
"I've created a monster," he teased as she slowly walked to the end of the bed.
"And who would that monster be, Mr. Black," Bella asked him.
Hey, he started it. Now I want to play.
"Why you, Miss Swan," he answered, watching as she slowly lowered the zipper of her dress. Jacob gasped as her dress hit the floor. She was entirely naked underneath, biting back her grin as he reached his hands out to her. Jacob put his hands around her waist as Bella crawled up to straddle him. He chuckled as she unbuttoned his shirt, slowly peeling off of him.
Bella asked, "Something funny, Mr. Black?" as she shoved him onto his back and reached for his belt. She unbuckled it and slid it off of him quickly.
"Scoot back on the bed," she whispered and tugged his earlobe with her teeth. Jacob growled and moved further back on the bed. He smirked at her, again wide-eyed as she lifted his hands toward the headboard, wrapping his belt around them and securing them to the bed. He unconsciously licked his lips as he stared at her naked body hovering over him.
"I guess you're my prisoner now, Mr. Black," Bella teased, leaning down to kiss him.
Bella placed kisses down his body as he fought the urge to rip the belt from the headboard and touch her. When she took the zipper of his pants between her teeth and pulled it down, he growled. He lifted his hips to help her remove the rest of his clothing and growled again as she took him into her mouth.
"Oh, fuck yeah, baby," he mumbled, tilting his head back in pleasure. Bella worked him with her mouth while reaching to touch herself. Jacob growled louder, lightly tugging at the belt.
"I need to touch you," Jacob said, his voice thick with want. Bella stared up into his face as she continued to work him with her mouth, and he moaned. He whimpered as she increased her pressure around his shaft, crying out as she gently, and purposely scraped him with her teeth.
"Bells, I need you to fuck me now," He growled out. Bella gasped at the timber of his voice.
It wasn't just Jacob who wanted her. The wolf wanted his mate.
Jacob was squirming under her, damn near desperate to be inside of her. Bella kissed back up his body as she crawled up to straddle him again. She reached between them to position his cock as she slowly lowered herself onto him. He moaned loudly again as she began to ride him. Bella stared into Jacob's eyes intently as she swiveled her hips, grinding against him. Jacob started to lift his hips, slamming upward into her as she set their pace.
"Mmm, Mr. Black. You feel so good," Bella moaned, leaning forward to kiss him again. Jacob kissed her back passionately, still silently cursing the belt that held his hands over his head. Bella did not stop her rhythm as she reached up and unclasped the belt. As soon as Jacob's hands were free, he flipped them on the bed and continued thrusting into her.
Heat crawled up Bella's body, flushing her chest, neck, and face as her pleasure grew. When he lifted her hips to change position, she cried out, clawing at his back desperately.
"Don't stop," she whimpered as he resumed his pace. She reached up to grasp at his hair, pulling where she knew he liked it.
"Fuck, Bella," he grunted out. "Touch yourself for me, baby." Bella reached between them and began stroking herself with one hand while gently kneading her breast with the other. Her whole body was trembling, her head thrown back in bliss. Jacob growled again and rammed himself into her as she came.
"Oh, fuck," she panted as her body shuddered against his.
Not quite there yet, he wrapped his arms around her, cradling her as close as he could. Jacob slowed his thrusts and began to move languidly, pulling out of her almost entirely before filling her again. Bella was panting, the heat in her core once again building, spreading itself through her limbs. The sensation was so intense she couldn't stop herself from reaching up to dig her nails into his back.
"Oh god, Jacob," she yelled as her legs began to tremble. Jacob resumed his harder, faster pace. Bella cried out as she came a second time. Jacob let himself go as she clenched around him.
God, that is the best feeling.
Jacob gently removed himself from her body and laid next to her on the bed, panting.
"Well, Miss Swan," he teased, "That might be the best first date I've ever had." They both burst out laughing, turning to hold onto each other.
Bella's eyes grew wide as the sounds of groaning and grunting began filtering through the wall to the next room. "Oh my god," she whispered. "Is that Angela?"
"Uh, yeah," Jacob said, laughing. "Definitely.'
"Do you think we inspired them a little bit?" Bella asked him, giggling.
"Maybe so, Miss Swan," Jacob whispered into her ear before leaning down to kiss her neck. "Want to see if we can do it again?"
Bella grinned as she pressed her lips back to his.
The two couples had greeted each other awkwardly in the morning, red-faced and snickering. They made their way down to the lobby for breakfast, quietly gathering their plates and drinks.
Jacob was the first to look up at the faces around him and start laughing. Other patrons glanced around at the four of them as they all burst into laughter. Bella covered her face with her hands. Even her ears turned red as she blushed. She pulled her hair up into a bun and fanned her face while Angela pulled her glasses off to wipe away tears. Jacob was also wiping tears away as he sighed.
"Well, now that that's out of the way," Embry said, and they all burst into laughter again.
"Jesus, Bella, I didn't know such a quiet person could get so fucking loud," Angela said quietly.
"You are actually blushing," Bella pointed out to her. "Ange doesn't blush."
Embry slowly shook his head no, grinning at Angela.
"You two are just adorable," Jacob mocked Embry.
"So are you, Mr. Black," Embry said, and they all lost it again. Some dirty looks from the other patrons sobered them a little. They attempted to quiet down, which only led to another fit of laughter. Bella stood up and tossed her food in the trash.
"Come on. Let's get out of here before someone shanks us. This food is terrible anyway. I'll make us real fucking waffles for supper at home," she said.
"Mmm, thank you, Miss Swan," Angela said. After another fit of laughter, they hurried from the lobby to clean out their rooms and head home.
The four-hour drive back required a gas station stop for snacks to tide them over. Jacob filled the Jeep up, cursing out loud at the total.
"Emmett's gotta get a better car. I thought they were all energy-conscious or whatever," Jacob said.
"Listen, Emmett loves this thing," Bella said, grinning. "I'm surprised he doesn't wax it with a diaper."
Embry chuckled at the reference and walked away chanting, "Beuller."
"You're my movie buddy from now on," Bella shouted after him.
"Deal," he yelled back as he searched through the chip aisle.
Jacob rolled his eyes at them. "No cuddling," he teased. "I know how you get. No molesting my brother in your sleep." Jacob laughed as her face flushed again.
"I swear, I'm going to look sunburned by the time we get home today," she grumbled, walking away.
After carrying everything inside at home, Jacob and Embry returned the Jeep while Bella started cooking. Bella jumped as a very tired-looking Leah walked into the kitchen, scratching her head.
"Hey, you're still here," Bella said cheerily. "Did you enjoy your alone time?"
Leah winked at her and grinned before looking over at Angela suspiciously.
"Leah, have you two not met yet? This is Angela, my friend, and Embry's girlfriend. Angie, this is my step-sister Leah."
"Hey," Leah said simply and sat at the island.
"I don't say much when I first wake up either," Angela said. "You want some coffee?"
"That would be fucking fantastic," Leah said, smiling. Angela got up to turn on the coffee maker before heading for the hallway.
"Is it cool if I grab a quick shower?" Angela asked.
"Of course. You don't even have to ask," Bella said.
"So how was the trip?" Leah asked as soon as Angela was out of earshot.
"It was good," Bella said, chuckling. "Somewhat awkward. Mostly fun."
"Awkward, huh?" Leah asked. "I hope y'all didn't share a room."
"No, we didn't. How did it go here?" Bella asked, changing the subject.
"Quiet," Leah said, staring at the coffeemaker.
"You, eh, didn't have any company?" Bella asked her suspiciously.
"Nope. Quil's mad at me. We haven't talked in a few days," Leah admitted. Bella was surprised when she looked up from her task to see Leah quietly wiping away tears.
"What happened?" Bella asked.
"The usual. Sam was hopping around all chipper the other day. He's usually a real crank ass in the morning, right? So I just kind of thought, 'Oh that's nice. He's in a good mood for once,' you know? He was smiling, and it was just kind of nice to see it. The next thing I know, Quil phases out. Just fucking disappears," Leah explained. "I finally found him. He'd taken things completely out of context. Bella, I don't love Sam anymore. Do I still feel betrayed? Yes. But I'm not in love with Sam Uley anymore. I care about him. I actually like it that he's happy, even if it's with Emily." Leah sighed heavily. "I can't get him to believe me that I'm over Sam. Then he told me that, 'We both knew this was coming eventually."
"I'm gonna smack him," Bella grumbled.
"You're gonna do nothing of the sort because you don't know anything, right?" Leah warned.
"I'm still going to smack him. I don't need a reason," Bella challenged her sister, grinning. Leah laughed and nodded, rubbing her face. "I think your coffee is ready, Lee."
"Mmm, coffee," she moaned, getting up to grab a cup.
By the time the boys returned, Angela was out of the shower, and the food was ready. Bella had made them a large breakfast spread along with the promised homemade waffles. Angela ate with enthusiasm, practically licking the syrup off of her fork. Embry watched her as if it was the most fascinating thing he had ever seen, earning eye-rolls and snickers from Leah and Jacob. Leah offered to help clean up before heading home. Needing to be up at 4 am, Jacob and Embry each showered and went to bed. Angela helped Bella finish putting things away before she headed for bed as well.
Bella lit a fire in the living room fireplace and curled up on the couch with a book. Eventually, she became too distracted by whatever new tap dance lesson that Sarah was trying to learn on her bladder. Bella went to the bathroom before showering and crawling into bed next to Jacob. He turned toward her and snuggled her close.
"She's all over the place tonight," Bella said softly. Jacob smiled sleepily, placing his hand over her belly.
"I love you both," he mumbled before his snoring resumed. Bella smiled as she snuggled into him tighter and closed her eyes, content.
