Here's the next one. I hope Carlie's reasoning for sleeping with him comes through in it, but I'll spell it out clearly at the end of the chapter.

I really appreciate everyone's reviews!

Pretty quick update, huh?

SM owns Twilight.

I woke up extra early. For one thing, I think I was to anxious to sleep. And another, I wasn't doing myself any favors by keeping the sheets we used to…on my bed. I could smell her…smell, all around, and it was giving me a hard-on.

Embry kept giving me pep talks on the way to school,

"It'll all work out."

"She'd be crazy not to love you."

"People rarely get preggers their first time."

"As long as she had fun, she'll be back."

"It takes two to tango, its not all your fault."

"She couldn't find anyone better than you."

"You could always track her."

I finally told him to shut the fuck up, I was close to phasing behind the wheel.

I almost started hyperventilating when we pulled in and I saw her red Jag in the parking lot.

"Dude, calm down." Embry coached. "You two are meant to be. It'll work out."

"I don't know what to say."

"I would start with an apology, then work your way into asking if she took anything. Like one of those morning after pills or whatever they are. But I'm thinking next time you should use a condom or she should-"

"Shut up." I alpha commanded him.

"Sorry! Sorry. I'm just trying to be helpful."

I took a deep breath and walked into work.

My thoughts were so scattered and jumbled that I couldn't even set up the damn floor hockey nets up right.

Carlie didn't come in early as she usually did. She came out with the rest of the girls 5 minutes after class began. Not a good sign. She thought she needed a buffer.

I couldn't help but stare, willing her to look at me. She didn't meet my eyes, at all. They stayed firmly planted on the ground and never even looked in my direction.

After everyone was gathered, I started class, tearing my eyes off her only because I didn't want to look creepy. "Ok. Floor hockey today. Pick your own teams. Carlie, I have to see you after class about graduating credits. Ok?"

She didn't meet my eyes when she responded, "I have English, I don't want to be late." She muttered as a blush creeped into her cheeks.

"He'll understand." I assured her. I told him she'd be late for class.

She looked at the ground and blushed. "Fine."

I sighed and blew my whistle to set them free.

Carlie was unusually reserved today. I didn't see her smile once. It hurt me to know that I was responsible for her sad mood.

It seemed Leslie forgave her though, which was good.

I spent the rest of class thinking about what I was going to say. All I could come up with was groveling at her feet and begging for forgiveness.

It was also pretty hard to watch her run around in those shorts. After having her once, I think I'd die if I never got to touch her again.

My heart was beating out of my chest as I dismissed them. I figured Carlie would want to change before she talked to me. I panicked though, what if she just kept avoiding me and didn't come after changing? I would have to forcibly pull her out of one of her classes. T would look suspicious and then I would get arrested and she would run off with a vampire because that my fucking luck.

I waited in my office for 5 minutes, stressing out. I would kill her vampire boyfriend if I ever saw her with one. Fuck. Happy thoughts. I'm going to apologize and then we're going to declare our love for each other and then get married and have kids and a dog and…a house with a white picket-fucking-fence.

Because she's mine and I'm hers and we're soul mates.

Or maybe I should just settle with not being arrested so I could at least protect her from the shadows while she lives her life with a guy who deserves her…

Kill me.

It took me a minute to register that her foot steps were getting closer, I could tell it was her because I know everything about her, her breathing patterns, the way she walked, her scent…

I think she wants me to do her again. She showed up in a mini skirt and high heels.

"I'm not pregnant or anything, so you don't have anything to worry about." She said in a rush before turning around and trying to get away.

I was out of my seat faster than humanly possible, literally. "Wait." I said as I pulled her into my office. "Ok. I, umm-"

"No! Seriously, I took the morning after pill or whatever its called. You don't have to worry about it." She didn't even look at me. I could tell she was embarrassed, but also a little angry. Understandable.

"Well. I wasn't really worried about that." I said, catching her arm again and preventing her from leaving.

"What!?" Shit. That was the wrong thing to say.

"Well, I was. But…shit. I just wanted to say sorry." I implored, still clutching her arm. She still wouldn't make eye contact with me.

She frowned. "Fine. Me too." Her voice had a bit of an edge to it.

"What do you have to be sorry for? I'm the adult here and I-"

"Can I go?" she interrupted me.

"No, Carlie. I think we need to talk about this."

"Why don't you talk about it with some one else? Ok?" she snapped.

I was taken aback by the edge in her voice. "Like who?!"

"I don't know. Try Leslie. I know she's wanted to fuck you for awhile. And she's been throwing herself at you."

"What!? Les-? Oh!" I said, realizing what she meant. It was exactly what I initially thought. She thought I was the creepy teacher. Great. Damage control time…

"I have to get to class. I'll send Leslie in." she said, prying off my hands from her wrists.

I caught her by the waist before she could get to the door. I couldn't help but smile, she thought I was into fucking students, and she was jealous. "Wait. You think I do that with all of my students?"

Her breathing picked up as I held her waist. "I- I kinda assumed-"

I leaned down to her, "I don't do that kinda shit, Carlie. You think I have this reaction to every student?" I pulled her closer, so my erection was pushing on her lower back. Yeah, kinda cocky, but she's the one who showed up in a mini skirt…

She gasped and leaned into me.

I KNEW IT! She wants me.

I slowly spun her around. "Its only you, Carlie." I whispered.

She was staring into my eyes, looking very surprised, but not repulsed. "Only you." I repeated, leaning down to touch her lips with mine. It was only supposed to be a reassuring kiss, but apparently she had other plans…

I was surprised at how fast she reacted, as soon as my lips were on hers, she parted her lips so I could get my tongue inside. I took more time this time, exploring every bit of her mouth. Better than I remembered.

Maybe I did see love in her eye that night. I mean, she has to at least be attracted to me, right? Probably more…trust me? Imprint connection, I guess…

I moved my hands from her waist to grip her hips and grind them into me a little bit. She moaned into my mouth, which made me want her more. Our kisses became more urgent as she wrapped her arms around my neck.

My hands moved farther down to her perfect ass. And I lifted her up so she could wrap her legs around me. I stumbled to my office door and locked it, then I stumbled back to my desk and cleared it off in one swoop. I sat her down and broke our kiss. "Can you stay quiet?" I whispered in her ear.

She shivered under my touch and nodded.

"Good." I gently pushed her back on my desk and kneeled between her legs.

I slowly ran my hands up her legs and under her sexy little mini skirt. It didn't surprise me that her panties were wet, I could smell it. And it smelt so good.

Her breathing was really heavy now. And her heartbeat was beating very fast. She lifted her ass a little bit when I pushed her skirt up, revealing some sky blue lacey panties. Hipster style. I growled a little bit. Sexy…

"Can I…?" I figured I better ask permission.

"Y-yeah." She responded right away.

I slid her wet panties down her legs. I took several moments to enjoy the sight before me. I didn't really have the chance to on Saturday. She was perfect and all mine.

I dipped my head down and licked up her slit. She shuddered at the sensation.

She tasted just as sweet as she smelled. My erection strained against my pants while I listened to her moans. "J-Jake."

My name slipped out of her lips. Fuck yeah. Me.

I continued to tease her clit with my tongue until she got to loud with her moans, then I kissed my way back up to her lips. "You have to be quiet." I told her.

I slid two fingers in her and moved them the same as I did Saturday night. She moaned again moved her hips franticly against my hand.

"You're the only student I've ever slept with." I whispered to her as I added a third finger and brushed her clit with my thumb.

Her walls tightened around my fingers. I muffled her yell with a kiss.

"I'm not that guy, ok?" I promised her. I defiantly didn't want her to think of me like that. I loved her and only her. But she couldn't know that yet. It would scare her.

She nodded and unbuttoned my pants. "I know." A huge weight was lifted off my shoulders. She did sense something about me. Her subconscious knew I was her mate.

Once my dick was freed from my pants, I immediately thrust into her. My lips kept her loud moan muffled.

"Ah, fuck. You feel so fucking good." I panted out between thrusts.

She whimpered a bit before she replied, "Ugh, fuck, you're good at this."

I smiled against her neck and thrust in until she came again. I pulled out before we had to worry about her getting pregnant because I had just realized that I didn't use a fucking condom again. Maybe Embry was right…

I released all over my damn desk. After we caught out breaths, she stood up and readjusted her skirt, I put my pants back on.

"So, um, what is this exactly?" she asked me, looking slightly embarrassed again. She's so cute…

I decided not to tell her about the wolf shit yet, she needed to trust me before I released that on her. "I don't exactly know. But…I like you, and I don't just want to be fuck buddies."

"Ook." She said in a very unsure voice as a blush crept into her cheeks.

"Ok, look, I know its wrong, but I think you're great. I mean you're smart, funny, caring, independent, beautiful, and you know cars, which is pretty hot. And if you would just give me a chance, I can show you what a non-jackass boyfriend is like."

She smiled and laughed at my assessment of Cook. "Boyfriend?"

I shrugged. "I guess. I mean, we would pretty much be confined to my house or your house, or somewhere else where I wouldn't get arrested, but yeah, boyfriend."

She thought for a moment before replying. "I don't know." She said finally.

Oh shit. "Carlie, I know this is really strange, but all I'm asking for is a chance." I was resorting to begging next.

"But, you could lose your job if we-"

"It'd be worth it." I promised.

She contemplated it for a long time. "I guess a chance wouldn't hurt..."

I smiled. "You wont regret it."

A cute, confused look crossed my girlfriend's face, "Why, though? I mean I all the girls in the school are pretty much after you. And I heard the secretary talking about you and-"

"Carlie. I cant really explain it. But the first time I saw you, I just felt this…connection, you know? That's never happened to me before."

She bit her lip and smiled "I guess I kind of know what you're talking about, I always wondered why it was easier to be around you than Andrew. And you seem to always be there for me, when I need help."

I nodded. "Cook is insufferable. I have no idea how you spent so much time in his presence."

She smiled slightly, "Ok then. So we're…dating?" I thought it was cute how excited she was. I could tell she was trying to hide it, but I could see it in her eyes.

I smiled, "Yeah."

She bit her lip and smiled shyly, "Uh, I- I'm sorry for just leaving yesterday. I was embarrassed and-"

"Confused." I finished for her.

"Yeah. I just- I didn't know what to think. I was just embarrassed because I pretty much begged you…and I don't know. I just wanted to find some way to…blame it on you I guess, as bad as that sounds." She looked down at the ground and blushed.

I tilted her head up so I could look into her gorgeous eyes, "First of all," I started with a smile, "you defiantly didn't beg, I wanted it just as much, probably more, than you. And second of all, the blame is all on me. I'm the adult and I should have quit this job as soon as you walked through those doors."

"Don't quit!" she said quickly.

I smiled, "I wasn't planning on it. I kinda need a job and this way, I get to see you every day."

She smiled back and shook her head for a moment. "Ok, well, I'm already 10 minutes late for English and Mr. Call-" she broke off and blushed. "Oh god!"

I laughed. I saw from Embry's head how he watched her to the walk of shame, he was dreading seeing her again as much as she was dreading seeing him. "Nah. Embry is cool with it. He wont give you a hard time."

"Wait, wait! How much does he know!?"

"Well, he kinda saw you leave yesterday, in one of my shirts, smelling like sex."

"Ugh. Yeah. The first thing he said to me was 'How was it?" she said.

I frowned. What the hell Embry? "Ohh. Sorry about that."

She blushed even more. "Oh my god. This is going to be so awkward."

"No. I'll tell him to keep his fucking mouth shut."

"Thanks." she sighed.

"No problem. He will be pissed if you miss all of class, though. I promised him it would only take a few minutes to apologize, but, well." I grinned.

She laughed. "Ok. Lets go."

She started to walk towards the door, but I stopped her. "I just want you to know that you can trust me, ok? I've never really felt like this before about some one."

She smiled nervously. "I know. You're the one person that I feel…comfortable with."

I kissed her cheek before I unlocked the door and we walked, an appropriate distance away from each other, to Embry's classroom.

Carlie swung open the door and walked in, I poked my head in, "We were discussing college, that's why she was late."

Embry sniffed the air a few times before smirking, "Oh! So good of you to join us, Carlie! We were just about to thrust" he made eye contact with me, "into the world of The Scarlet Letter."

Carlie's eyes widened as she looked over to me. I glared at Embry. "Oh, well, its going to have to wait for a second, family emergency, come on, I'll tell you all about it in the hall."

"Oh, its going to be awfully hard to get away from class right now." He replied.

I heard a few kids start to snicker as they realized he was spewing innuendos. "Come on, Mr. Call." I instantly regretted it as soon as I said it.

"You want me to come?" He laughed.

"I'm gonna kick your ass if you don't shut up." I said so only he could hear.

Embry smirked, "Ok guys, keep copying the notes until I get back."

"You smell like sex. I assume the 'talking' went well?" he asked when we got in the hall.

I couldn't help but smile. "Worked out better than I planned. And I swear to god if you keep making innuendos I'll make you regret it."

He laughed. "I was just messing around, man. I'll be good."

"Good. I'm gonna go call the pack." I said as I ran back to my office.

Rachel answered the phone cautiously, "The whole pack is here, we were waiting for your call, and they have some bets on the out come of your talk. Sooo…."

"Who bet she would be pissed at me and not give me the time of day?"

"Me, Blake, Sam, and Brady." Paul said.

"And who bet she would be totally fine with it?"

"Jared, Collin, Quil, and Sean." He replied.

"And who bet she would be pissed because she thought I did that with all of my students, but then when I said it was only her I would get laid again and get a girlfriend?" I said in an excited voice.

"Oh my god! Jake! So she's your girlfriend now?" Rachel screamed.

"Yep. I think I win the money."

I heard all of the girls laugh. "Oh no Jake. We made sure to put a clause in there that we get the money if they're all wrong." Emily said.

"Why? I did all of the work! And I cant keep a girlfriend like her on a gym teacher's salary."

"Oh yeah!" Quil laughed, "Her spending habits!"

"Oh! Jake! Dad just came in!" Rachel said with excitement.

"Hey dad." I don't really talk to him much. He's always with Charlie and Sue.

"Hey son. Rachel told me about your imprint problem."

"Ah. Problem no more, dad, problem no more."

"Well that's great! Bring her home so we can meet her."

"Yeah. I'll work on that. I think it wont be until summer, but that's better than my original plan of never."

"You couldn't stay away from us forever." Blake joked.

I laughed. "I promise I'll be back to meet you noobs, kids, and new imprints."

"Oh, Jake, come on! We've been wolves for 10 years, you can hardly call us noobs." Sean said.

"We're all looking forward to meeting you too, Jake." I recognized Blake's imprint, Melody, say.

"Ok. Well I didn't get much sleep last night. So I'll keep you guys posted. And Quil?"

"Yeah?"

"Thanks."

"No problem, man. But you never told us if she's pregnant or not."

"Oh. No she took one of those morning after pill things. So nope."

"Good, use a fucking condom next time." Paul laughed.

I heard a chorus of good byes then they hung up.

Like I do every second period, I fell asleep. I was really tired after a night of worrying.

"Wake up." I smiled when I heard her voice, hopefully I would wake up to that voice everyday.

"I was up last night worrying." I explained as I opened my eyes.

"So, um, I don't really know how some one forgets this, but I forgot my panties in here. And now I'm in a short skirt with nothing else under."

I jumped out of my chair, "Right!" I found them in a small pile on the floor next to my desk, thank god no one came in and saw them. I picked them up and tossed them to her. "There a little wet." I said with a smile.

She blushed and put them on anyway. "Well its better than going commando. So I was thinking, and this really needs to be kept quiet. And my dad would flip if he knew, so you really cant ever come over to my place, he has a camera set up in my living room."

"Oh, um, so I guess you can come over to my place, hang out with my dumbass cousins if you ever wanted to."

"You have a knack for insulting me as soon as I'm about to walk into your office." Embry said as he waltzed in.

I frowned, "Maybe I just smell you coming."

"Ha ha. Good one." He said as he plopped down on my desk.

"Do you mind? I'm kind of in the middle of something." Damn it!

He laughed as Carlie blushed. "Poor, poor choice of words Jake."

"Alright. Get out." I snapped.

"I just came to see if the door was locked and you two weren't making too much noise."

Carlie covered up her face in embarrassment. I growled at him. "What the hell Embry!?"

"Seriously, though. You guys should keep it out of the work place."

"Thanks for the advice." I said sarcastically.

He smiled and started to walk out. "But if you're going to do it here, get some fabreeze or something. Smells like a fucking brothel in here."

I broke into a run fully intending to tackle him as he ran away laughing his ass off.

"I'm gonna kick your ass!" I yelled as he sprinted past my homeroom kids. Hum, what a good example I am.

He was nearing the doors of the gym when I decided he needed to be tackled, so I ran a little above normal human speed and leapt at his legs. He went down. And I flipped over him and landed on my back.

"You jack ass!" he groaned, "Why did you do that?"

"I told you to shut up." I laughed.

Needless to say, my entire homeroom circled up and was chanting 'Fight! Fight! Fight!" Even Carlie was there, she looked amused as both Embry and I sat on our asses.

I gained cool points as a teacher.

So she was embarrassed because she begged him to have sex with her. And she was so embarrassed that she didn't want to face him in the morning, so she ran out. And tried to find a way to make herself feel better- blaming him and accusing him of being one of those creepy teachers. She doesn't regret it and she honestly does like him. I hope it came through above…

So a lot of you are wondering when they're going to find out what they each are. And honestly… it's a REALLY long way off. I hope you'll keep reading to find out much later on…
