Chapter 12:

Bella's POV

I was still shaking when Jake put me in the passenger side of my truck. He gently closed the door and climbed up into the driver's side. "I'll just take you home Bella, you need to rest for a little while."

The last word I mumbled was "sorry" and that felt like an eternity ago, my mind just could not process how doomed Jake and I's relationship was before it even got off the ground. I had to wonder just why I would even care that he was here.

Because no matter who is in your life, Edward will always be your Achilles' heel you silly girl.

With that revelation I slumped against the door of my truck, memories flashed on the backs of my eyelids before I had a chance to stop them.

"Edward? Edward! I'm home!" I sat my keys and purse down on the little table we kept right beside the door of our apartment. I saw Edward's shoes next to the door, and then a pair of black heels. I didn't remember those black heels, but maybe I had worn them last night when Edward and I were out.

I did get a bit drunk.

As I began to walk down the hallway which led to the back of the apartment, and our bedroom I heard a loud crash, followed by Edward's voice saying "Oh shit."

"Edward? Are you ok?" My pace picked up and my hand was on the knob of the bedroom door, and that's when I heard another voice. A female voice. "Eddie, we are so busted."

Reaction happened and the door flew open. There she stood in her leggy glory, dressed in nothing but a pair of black lace panties, her strawberry blonde hair was a mess. My eyes wandered from her to Edward who looked like he didn't even care.

"Honestly, Bella. You couldn't have thought you were the only one…"

"Bella? Honey? We're here."

Jake was standing next to me, the passenger door of my truck open. He was holding me so I didn't fall out. "Are you ok?"

I nodded meekly. Jake helped me out of the truck and we walked into a small red house, "You can go lay down in my bed for a while, Bella. Billy isn't here; he's over at Sue Clearwater's. So it will be nice and quiet."

I didn't say a word as Jake gently laid me down in the bed, "I'll be back to check on you in a bit." He placed a gentle kiss on my forehead before leaving the room closing the door behind him. I settled into the bed, deeply breathing in his scent.

I was being crazy, and I knew it. This news wasn't shocking to me; I knew Edward was a player from that moment. The thought of Edward ruining this for me was what brought me into my Edward induced coma.

Then there was Jake. This wonderful man who was taking care of me in a way that nobody else had ever, he genuinely cared and I thought I could see it in his eyes.

And I was acting like nothing but a stupid girl hung up on her ex-boyfriend. Wake up Bella! See what's right in front of you before it's too late!

Wow. Finally a point made by the inner me that I wasn't going to argue with.

Jake's POV

Closing my bedroom door behind me I said a curse under my breath directed at Edward Cullen. He obviously didn't care who he hurt, as long as he got what he wanted. Bella and I had something in common; we were both victims of his carefree lifestyle.

I sat down on the couch, lost in my thoughts. I couldn't deny how I felt about Bella, I just couldn't explain it. I never felt such a pull to someone in my life, not even Vanessa. It hurt me to not be around Bella that's how bad I had it, but I had no idea if she felt the same way towards me.

"Jake." The sound of Bella's voice startled me, I looked up. She was standing in front of me, I hadn't even heard the bedroom door creak open. "I'm so sorry."

Before I could say anything she straddled me on the couch, "I see what is right in front of my face." Her breath was hot on my ear and I was starting to get aroused. "I think I'm falling in love with you Jacob Black."

That took me a bit by surprise, but it also made me extremely happy. I scooped Bella up in my arms and carried her back into the bedroom, and gently put her down on the bed before climbing on top of her being careful not to crush her.

Placing gentle kisses along Bella's neck and jaw line I slowly made my way up to her ear, "I love you, Bella Swan." I took Bella's earlobe between my teeth and gently bit down on her which caused her body to shudder under me.

Stopping my assault on Bella's neck, I pulled away and Bella gave me a groan of protest until my lips crashed to hers. She moaned as my tongue demanded entrance, which she happily obliged. Her hand trailed down my body, grabbing my erection through my jeans. I moaned into her mouth, I wanted Bella and I wanted her bad.

Breaking our kiss, I pulled my shirt over my head and threw it on the floor before I grabbed Bella and flipped us over so she was on top. Before she could lean down to kiss me, I pulled her shirt over her head, and she giggled before crashing her lips to mine again.

My hands caressed Bella's back until I came to her bra, which I unclasped and pulled it away from her body. I cupped her breasts in my palms, gently squeezing her nipples. "Oh fuck, Jake." She moaned, her hips bucking. With an animalistic growl that I even surprised myself with, I again flipped us back over so I was back on top of Bella.

She giggled again, god how that fucking turned me on. I kissed my way down her stomach to her naval which I licked the sensitive skin around it, getting that giggle that I love so much. My gaze met hers as I unbuttoned and unzipped her jeans, "Yes. Jake. I want you." My eyes never left hers; I could see the lust and need in them and it was really turning me on. But first, I needed to show Bella how much I cared for her.

I yanked her jeans and panties off and tossed them on the floor with the rest of our clothes. I placed gentle kisses on Bella's thighs as my hand made its way between them; I could feel the wetness that had pooled there. "Shit. Bella, honey. You are so wet for me."

I wanted to taste her. I continued my path of gentle kisses until I reached Bella's wet folds. I ran my tongue up and down; Bella began bucking up against it and moaning. "Oh Jake. Shit. Feels so good." I grabbed her thighs with my hands to hold her steady while my tongue flicked her sensitive nub. Bella was screaming my name, "I'm gonna cum Jake." I continued my assault on her clit until I felt her body tense, "Jake! So fucking good!"

I climbed up the bed so I was lying next to Bella who was trying to catch her breath. "Jake, I need you inside me." Her voice was a whisper. She crushed her lips to mine before she climbed back on top of me, grinding her hips into me. I could feel her wetness on my thighs.

Bella raised herself off of me then grabbed my erection in her hand to guide it to her entrance. She moaned as she slowly pulled herself down on it. "Shit Bella. So fucking tight." I enjoyed the view as I watched Bella move up and down on my cock. She had her head back and was moaning. With this view I wasn't going to last much longer.

I grabbed Bella's hips to help guide her and pick up the pace a little bit. She leaned down and crushed her lips to mine as our hips rocked together. It wasn't long before I felt my orgasm building inside of me, "Shit. Bella. Yes. Fuck."

Bella rode out my orgasm with me, placing gentle kisses along my neck and jaw. I stroked her hair before she collapsed against my chest. "Bella, I love you so fucking much." I kissed her forehead.

"I love you too, Jake."

It was the sweetest words I'd ever heard in my entire life, and for the few glorious moments I held Bella in my arms in our post coital glow I forgot all about the dangers to our relationship that now lurked here in La Push.

A/N – I tried to make it up to you guys for last week's short update and then not getting another one done last week!

Hope you are all enjoying this as much as I am enjoying writing it!

Reviews are better than a post coital cuddle with Jake! (oh who am I kidding, nothing is better than that! Lmao!)
