PREVIOUSLY-

After presents were done, we ate lunch and watched some Christmas movies before Sam drove Charlie back home.

It was officially the best Christmas I'd ever had in my entire life.


I woke up the next morning to Sam running his finger down my cheek, smiling down at me with so much love in his eyes that it could've made me swoon.

"Happy birthday," I murmured in my sleepy rasp.

"Thank you, honey." He replied back, leaning down to kiss me. I responded back enthusiastically. "Jared took my patrol and then he's going up to help Charlie shovel out his driveway."

"So that means we have some alone time?" I questioned although I already knew the answer. Jared and I had had it planned for a while, just as Sam had given us alone time for his birthday.

"Yes, we do. And I intend on making the most of it." He pulled the blanket off me and climbed on top. I was already naked from the night before and he was as well.

He kissed down the canyon of my chest and before I knew it, he was flipping me over and pulling me off the bed. With my feet on the floor and me leaning over to rest on the bed, he pushed himself inside.

I knew this was one of his favorite positions and I always wondered if it was the alpha in him. He pumped into me hard and fast for several minutes before pulling the rest of my body up to where my back was against his chest and he was holding my chin. His mouth glided down my neck from my ear to my shoulder as he continued to thrust into me, nearly holding me off the ground to do so.

When he began sucking on his mark, I yelled out and felt myself spasming in pleasure. He didn't let up though, he continued throughout, reaching his hand down to rub my clit, making it last even longer.

Out of nowhere, he pulled out, leaving me breathless and empty.

He began to kiss back up my neck to my ear, then whispered, "I want to try something, but only if you say yes."

I had a small inkling as to what it could be. "Anything you want…" I murmured breathlessly back to him. "I trust you."

"If you don't like it, just tell me to stop at any time." He directed and I nodded agreeingly.

He reached over and pulled a bottle of lube out of the nightstand before pushing me back over onto the bed again with my feet still planted on the floor.

I felt his now coated finger at my back entrance, preparing it for what was coming. When he slipped it inside, I instinctively clenched.

"Relax, honey." He muttered to me, calming me enough for him to continue.

It had only hurt slightly at first, but the more he continued, the better it felt. After a minute, he increased to two fingers and I felt myself beginning to enjoy it.

When he withdrew them, I knew it was time for the real thing. I felt more of the lube being applied and then I felt him at my entrance.

"I'll try to be gentle. Tell me if I need to stop." He told me. I nodded and then felt the pressure against me.

I sucked in a sharp breath as he passed through the tightest spot, then felt myself relax slightly afterward.

"Are you okay?" He questioned quickly.

"I'm okay, keep going," I replied, needing him to continue.

He did as I asked and pushed in until he was fully seated, giving my body a few moments to relax before he began moving in and out.

I heard him moan in delight at the feeling as he began to increase his speed. I found myself mewling and moaning, then yelling out at the feeling it was invoking in me.

He reached down and grabbed my hair with one hand pulling on it, not hard enough to cause pain, but just enough to create resistance as he pounded into me.

I quickly felt myself coming undone and heard him grunt before feeling him finish as well.

We stayed that way for a few moments before he gently removed himself.

I quickly made my way to the bathroom and after I was done, Sam came in and turned on the shower for the both of us.

As we stood in the shower, Sam held me to him. "Did I hurt you?" He asked calmly.

"No," I replied. "The beginning was a bit uncomfortable, but that passed quickly."

He carefully began to wash my tattoo. "Jared and I have been talking…"

I raised my eyebrows before looking up at him. "About?"

"Both of us having you… at the same time." He responded before continuing. "Only if you're okay with that."

I'd thought about it before, myself. In fact, I'd dreamed about it a few times and had considered asking them, although I didn't quite know how.

"I think… I think I'd like to try that." I said back to him before biting my lip.

"Really?" He seemed surprised.

"I've had dreams about it before…" I mentioned to him with an almost embarrassed expression.

"You have, have you?" He asked with excited curiosity. I nodded in response. "I'll keep that in mind then."

We finished our shower and dried off before heading downstairs to eat something.

"So what do you want to do today?" I asked him as we finished our meal.

"You." He replied with a smirk without missing a beat.

"Other than me." I came back with cheekily as I laughed.

"To be honest, I just want to spend time with you. We can't really go anywhere because of the snow, but it makes me happy just having you here with me." He told me.

An idea popped into my head. "I think I know what we can do."

His eyebrow raised at me. "Oh? What is that?"

"Go grab my heavy jacket and gloves. And I know you don't need it, but please at least put on a hoodie for me?" I asked him. I always felt bad if they weren't wearing a shirt out in the snow, despite the fact that I knew they didn't get cold.

He didn't question me as he stood and walked upstairs to get my things. I walked over and grabbed my boots, putting them on and lacing them up tightly, finishing just in time for Sam to come back with my jacket.

I put it on and zipped it up before pulling on my gloves and hat, ready to go.

"Where are we going?" He asked as we walked outside into the snow.

"To our spot," I replied happily, reaching out to grasp his hand with my gloved one. I could feel the heat radiating from him immediately.

"You want to go to the beach… in the snow?" He questioned, making sure he heard me right.

"Yes, now let's go," I replied, pulling him toward the path behind the house that led down to the beach.

When we made it down, I noted that it was a beautiful sight to see the beach, covered in snow with the dark waves lapping up against it.

I let go of his hand and reached down, immediately grabbing a handful of snow, forming it into a ball, and throwing it at Sam while I laughed.

"Oh that's how it's going to be?" He asked playfully before making his own snowball and throwing it as me as I tried to dodge it.

"Come on, Uley, is that all you got?" I teased him, throwing another.

He threw another one, hitting me in the side as I laughed hard. I made a large snowball and threw it back at him, hitting him square in the chest.

He looked down at it and held it like he'd been shot. "I've been hit!" He said as he pretended to be in pain, falling to the ground and landing in a pile of snow.

I ran over to him and threw myself down on top of him, leaning down to kiss him as his eyes were closed.

He immediately responded with great enthusiasm before pulling away. "It seems I've been miraculously healed. The kiss of a wife must have some supernatural abilities of its own." He winked at me.

"Of course it does. It's called 'true love's kiss'." I replied to him, kissing him once more for good measure.

"Mmm yes, yes it is." He whispered to me. "Because I truly love you more than anything else in this universe."

"I love you too, alpha." I heard him growl in delight. He loved it when I called him 'alpha'.

"If it weren't 20 degrees out here, I'd take you right now, right here on the beach." He told me huskily.

"You can take me as many times as you want when we get home." I winked at him.

"I'm going to hold you to that." He told me before kissing me again.

I stood up and he brushed the snow off of me before we resumed our walk.

As we walked along the frosty shoreline hand-in-hand, I looked up at him. "I know you've been worried about something the last few weeks. What is it?"

He took a deep breath and sighed. "It's been too quiet. My wolf is restless like I feel something is going to happen soon, but I just don't know what. Jared and Paul are feeling the same thing. I got this way before both of them phased, but neither Jacob or Quil are showing signs of phasing any time soon and there hasn't been any activity around the reservation or even the entirety of our half of the peninsula. It's putting me on edge."

I stopped us and turned to face him. "I've been feeling it too. I don't know if I'm just getting a bounce back from you and Jared, but I've been worried about it now for a while."

"The only thing we can do is wait it out, I guess. Maybe it's just because it hasn't been quiet this long since I phased and my wolf doesn't know what to do about it, or maybe I'm just itching for there to be something, which sounds horrible. I don't want there to be anything, any reason for us to be required, but at the same time my wolf is saying that this is what we're made for. Being the alpha of a wolf pack without having any sort of objective or focus makes me feel almost useless in a way." He confided in me. It was the first time he'd told me anything like that and my heart reached out to him.

"You're not useless, Sam. You'll never be useless. I understand what you're saying, though. The pack was created because there was a purpose for it. This is just me, but I don't think the Cullens moving away is the end of things. There are so many variables. What I'm trying to say is that I don't want you guys to drop your guard because it's been safe, then have something happen and not be prepared for it. You know that I've still had that sinking feeling in the back of my mind that the Cullens are going to come back for some reason, and I can't shake it. I don't know if it'll happen or not, but I want to make sure we're prepared if it does." I explained to him, voicing my concerns.

"I agree. Trust me, we won't be dropping our guard for anything, especially now that we're all on edge." He replied.

We walked and talked more for a little while before Sam could hear my teeth chattering and insisted on going back home.

We just relaxed until Jared go home late in the afternoon.

As soon as Jared walked in the doorway, he looked at Sam. "Well?"

I knew exactly what he was asking (a.k.a. our morning escapades) and I just shook my head and said, "Yes, Jared."

His eyebrows rose in excitement. "And?"

"I want to try it, but not tonight. I need to give it a little while before I'm quite ready for that." I replied to him with a giggle.

He fist pumped. "Hell yes!"

Paul came over for dinner and even though we didn't have a bonfire, we all enjoyed our time as a pack inside with the Christmas decorations still up and the fireplace going.

As we lay in the bed ready to go to sleep, I looked over at Sam. "So how does it feel to be 20?" I questioned.

"I feel… like it's going to be my best year yet." He then leaned down to kiss me before we all fell into a comforting and restful sleep.


A/N- well, what did you think of Sam's birthday?

If you can't tell already, I'm so in love with this story. I hope you all feel the same.
