Chapter 27
Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, was the mantra playing through Jacob's mind, running in time with his bouncing knee. Occasionally it would change to shit, shit, shit, shit, shit.
His phone vibrated in his pocket.
Jake, will you calm down, please? You are making me nervous. I've dropped two trays of food so far this afternoon! It's going to be fine. I love you. See you soon
Sorry, babe. He replied.
He needed to get his shit together. Try and relax… it wasn't going to happen.
"Dude! What the fuck is wrong with you?" Paul called out to him.
Jake ignored him.
They were all down the beach, celebrating the last weekend before school started up again for the year.
Jake, Embry and Quil had managed to convince the elders to let them study at home. They were going to get their GED online. Leah and Bella had promised to help tutor them.
Much to their annoyance, Seth, Colin and Brady were going back to actual school. So the celebration was really for them. The rest of the pack just used it as an excuse to spend the day drinking, eating and mucking about together.
However, Jacob was not in the mood.
"Aw, leaving him alone. He's having girl troubles," Quil goaded him.
Jacob rolled his eyes.
"Didn't you have a date with Bella last night?" Embry asked.
Knock, knock! Jacob rapped on the front door to Bella's house. He was taking her on their first official date.
Charlie answered the door in his uniform.
"Hey, Charlie," Jacob said. "Is Bella ready yet?"
"Probably, but she wanted me to answer the door," Charlie said, shaking his head. Even though Jacob pretty much lived her, Bella wanted to do it properly. So, Jake had to get dressed elsewhere and was picking her up in his Rabbit. He had booked dinner and had some flowers to give her.
"Bella! Jake's here," Charlie called out.
Jacob was surprisingly nervous. He could hear Bella walking around upstairs. His ears pricked when he heard her door open, and she started walking down the stairs.
He waited by the lounge room and watched as she descended the stairs. First, he could see her shoes; she was wearing heels. Bella never wore any heels, too afraid of tripping. But she knew Jake would not be too far from her tonight, able to catch her should she fall.
She was wearing a beautiful emerald green halter dress, with her hair loose around her shoulders, the way Jacob liked it. He felt his heartbeat increase, and a smile spread across his face. She looked stunning.
"You look beautiful," he said, reaching out to hand her the flowers. She took them from Jake, blushed, and then walked to the kitchen, putting them in a vase. Then, she turned around and wounded her arms around his neck, looking up at him.
"You scrubbed up pretty good yourself," she smirked.
Jacob was wearing a dark pair of long jeans and a white button-up shirt. Bella undid a couple of the buttons, "that's better," she murmured.
Charlie cleared his throat and brought their attention away from each other. Jake saw Bella blush, and it made him smile wider.
"I'm doing a night shift tonight, so I'll see you kids in the morning," he looked down at the floor, shaking his head. Jacob should have felt a bit guilty that Charlie obviously knew what they would get up to in his absence, but he couldn't seem to bring himself to care. "Make sure you lock up before leaving tonight. Stay safe," were his parting words before shutting the front door.
Bella turned back to Jacob and ran her fingers down his chest and around his waist before leaning into his chest. "So, where are we going tonight?" she asked.
"It's a surprise."
"Can't we just stay here?" she pouted.
Jacob chuckled, "Nope, not when you look like that. I want to show you off," he said with a wink.
Bella laughed, "fine."
Jacob grabbed her hand and led her to the front door. They locked up, just as Charlie asked.
"Yeah, we went out last night," Jacob replied to Embry.
There was silence, but Jacob didn't volunteer any further information. He was hoping they would just drop it.
"Did it not go well?" Quil asked.
Jacob took Bella to a new Steakhouse that had just opened up in Forks.
He knew that he could get a large meal for himself, but there was also plenty of options that Bella would enjoy.
They enjoyed the food, chicken salad for Bella, steak for Jake. There was a live band playing, and they were actually pretty good. They chatted and laughed throughout the meal, talking about their plans for the future. Afterwards, Jake even convinced Bella to dance with him.
After getting kicked for the second time by Bella, he made her stand on his shoes, and they swayed together with the music.
No one else mattered while they were there. They were in their own perfect bubble.
"Dinner was great," Jacob replied, starting to get annoyed at all the questions.
"Did she not put out?" Paul crudely asked.
Jake scowled at him, and Rachel elbowed Paul in the ribs.
At one point, Bella excused herself to go to the bathroom. When she came back, she slipped something into Jake's back pocket. It was her panties.
Needless to say, they didn't stay much longer at the restaurant.
They didn't even make it home before Bella attacked Jake. He had to pull over for fear of crashing the car. She had her head in his lap and wouldn't stop, even when Jake told her he was going to come. It was like a fantasy come true.
"That is not the issue," Jake snapped back at him.
"So there is an issue?" Quil noted.
Jake growled.
"Are you still upset by the council meeting during the week?" Jared asked.
After Seth had imprinted, they called another council meeting. Jake ordered Seth not to attend. It was a good decision. The council had no choice but to accept the imprint, but that wasn't before a few unpleasant words were spoken.
Jake rolled his eyes. "I couldn't give a shit about the council."
"Did you have a fight with Bella?" Sam asked, his tone serious. Jake had been avoiding eye contact with Sam all day. Even though he was no longer his alpha, he still had this way of looking into your soul and making you say things you normally wouldn't.
"No," Jacob said. Not really.
"Come on, Jake, you've got to give us something? You look as nervous as a vibrator salesman at airport security," Quil joked. A few of the guys laughed at him, but it didn't help Jake's mood.
"No, he doesn't look nervous. He looks guilty," Rachel smirked. "What did you do, baby brother?"
"Shut up, Rachel," Jake muttered.
"Did you imprint or something?" Embry asked.
This set Jake off. He was so sick of everyone asking this. "Have you?" he asked Embry out of spite.
Embry narrowed his eyes at Jake.
"Uncle Jake?" Claire called out as she walked up from the beach. She had been splashing in the waves with Emily. "When's Bella here? I haven't seen her in ages!" she said dramatically, dragging out the word ages.
"Seth's bringing her and Eva down after work. Maybe half an hour?"
"Yay!" she cheered. "A new friend!" Claire walked up to Quil, and he scooped her up. He immediately started blowing raspberries on her stomach. She giggled and dropped her spade. "Qwil!" she yelled at him between giggles.
Jake stood up, stretched his arms, and announced he was going for a run.
"You're going to phase?" Jared asked sceptically. "Leah and Seth are on patrol."
"No," he said, rolling his eyes. The point was to get away from everyone, not share his mind with them. "A run on two legs."
Jake took off down the beach to try and clear his head. He would feel better when Bella was with him… he hoped.
He let his mind drift to last night.
They finally made it back home. Jake opened the door for Bella and scooped her up out of the car. Then, he ran up the front steps; Bella giggled the whole time while Jake fumbled with the front door key. Eventually, Bella had to take the key from him and opened the door.
He shut the door with his foot as he headed for the stairs; he knew she loved it when he did that. She was undoing the buttons on his shirt as far as she could while he was holding her.
When he got to their room, he placed her on her feet and walked her backwards until her legs touched the bed. He loved that she was a bit taller in the heels, and he didn't have to stoop down so much to kiss her.
"Dress off," he commanded. Bella smirked; she loved it when he took control.
"Shoes?" she asked.
"Leave them on."
Bella fumbled for the zip on the side of her dress and slowly unzipped it. Jake held her arm while she stepped out of it. She was only wearing a black bra and black high heels. Damn, he thought as he adjusted his tight pants.
Bra on or off, he thought. Keep it on, for now.
"Turn around and climb on the bed," he told her.
She did as he asked and peered at him over her shoulder. He swallowed hard as he ogled her body, including that perfect arse and wet, glistening pussy staring him in the face.
He stripped his shirt off, sacrificing the remaining buttons and pulled his pants off in record time. Cursing the fact that he was actually wearing boxes tonight. When he was naked, he crawled on the bed behind her, placing his hand on her bottom, gently squeezing it before sliding his hand up her back. The other hand went down around her front, and he rubbed his fingers through her wet folds. She was ready for him already.
He undid her bra, and she discarded it quickly. He brought his body up closer to hers and felt her body react to his; her increased breathing and heart rate, her increased arousal.
He leaned over her body and kissed her behind her ear as he whispered all the dirty things he would do to her. He trailed the kisses down her back before kneeling up straighter. Finally, he pulled back a bit to center himself at her entrance.
"Are you ready?" he asked
"Please!" she begged.
That was all he needed before he pushed deep inside her. Her body tensed at his intrusion before they both sighed at being truly connected again.
He pulled almost the whole way before slamming into her again. She was groaning, and her arms were shaking at trying to keep herself upright.
He pulled back and did it again and again. Finally, when she cried out, he reached for her waist and pulled her up against his chest. His hands moved to her breast as he massaged them and tweaked her nipples. She whimpered.
She came before Jake was ready. Having already been once in the car made it easier for him to hold out a bit longer. So he continued relentless plunging in and out of her wet centre as she rode out her climax.
When Jake had run the length of Second Beach, he turned around and headed back towards the group. He could see Leah had just arrived, and thankfully Quil and Embry were gone.
By the time he got back, he could feel that Bella was close, so he walked up closer to the forest edge. When he spots the three of them emerge from the walking trail, he closed the gap between them.
"Hey guys," he said. He signed hello to Eva.
"Hey Jake," Seth replied. Eva just waved at him.
Bella smiled up and him, and he pulled her into a hug, nuzzling her neck, breathing her in. She giggled at him. "Hi," she whispered.
Jake pulled back and pecked her on the lips before following Seth and Eva down to the group. He held onto Bella's hand tightly, and she squeezed his back.
Seth walked with his hand resting in the small of Eva's back, guiding her. Jake smiled, happy for him. Seth introduced Eva to the group, then they walked around getting to know everyone's names. Seth fingerspelled all their names for her. She looked up at him with so much love and devotion.
Eva told him she just wanted to be friends, but Jake could see that wouldn't last.
Jake settled onto one of the logs and pulled Bella to sit on his lap. He wrapped his arms around her body and relaxed into her.
When Jake looked up, Sam was observing them carefully. Jake ignored him.
Seth and Eva came and sat next to them on the log. Bella chatted quietly with Eva for a bit until Claire came up and demanded Bella's attention. She smiled at her and invited Eva to join her down by the waves.
Bella turned in Jake's lap and gave him a quick kiss before standing up.
She reached down to take Claire's hand. "No, up!" Claire demanded, holding her arms up. Jake chuckled at the demanding three-year-old.
Bella picked Claire up and sat her on her hip. Bella looked like a natural holding Claire like that; it made Jake's stomach ache that he couldn't give her that.
Bella flipped her hair away over her shoulder from Claire's sticky fingers. Jake saw it the same someone else did.
"Who bit you, Bella?" Claire asked curiously.
He kept up the pace as he kissed the back of her neck and down her shoulder. She reached her arm up behind his head and played with the hair on the back of his neck. When she bared her neck to him further, he felt a change in his body.
He tried to stop, he thinks he paused, but when she called out, he stood no chance of stopping. He could feel his climax starting when Bella screamed, "Red! Do it!"
His eyes rolled back in his head as he came, and he bit down on her shoulder. He tasted her blood in his mouth as he swallowed. Then, when he heard her scream, it caused snapped him out of it. He unlatched his teeth from her and licked the wound to close it.
Fuck! He pulled out from her and laid her down on the bed.
"Shit! Bella? Are you okay?" he asked urgently.
When he rolled her over, she had her eyes closed. She panted for a few long seconds before she smiled, and her eyelids fluttered open.
"I'm more than fine. I love you," she panted.
Bella froze and readjusted her shirt to cover the mark. But it was too late.
"Jacob!" Sam called out as he stood up. When Jake finally looked into the eye's of his former alpha, he knew he was undone. "You did it, did you?"
Everyone was silent. Jake looked back to Bella; she looked at him. He didn't know what expression was on his face, but it made Bella walk straight over to him. She put Claire on the ground as he stood up and pulled Bella into his chest.
"Jake?" Sam asked again.
"It's my fault," Bella called out.
"No," Jake corrected her.
"Yes, I knew what I was doing. I knew you couldn't stop," she whispered. "I told him to do it,"
"Bella, Jake, what's going on?" Rachel asked nervously.
Everyone stood around silently, watching them. Finally, Bella reached up to her shirt collar and pulled it aside. A healing wound of raised pink teeth marks was clearly visible on her shoulder.
There were gasps around the group from those who hadn't guessed already.
"Fuck, bro, what did you do?" Paul said, clearly stunned.
"I don't want kids with anyone else, so it doesn't matter. It was my decision," Bella declared. Jake closed his eyes and kissed the top of her head.
He knew what was going to come next. He had messed up; he hadn't told Bella all the information.
"What about Jake?" Rachel asked.
"He can do whatever he likes, if… when he imprints again."
"No, he can't, Bella," Sam said.
Bella looked at Sam confused, then turned her gaze back to Jake.
"What-" she started to ask.
"The mark links me to you. I can't have children with anyone else either."
"What?" Bella shrieked. She pushed hard on Jake chest, and he let her go. "I didn't know that," she whispered, the hurt evident in her eyes.
"Bella, I'm sorry. I should have told you."
"Oh my god… oh my god… what have I done?" She looked around at all the members of the group watching on with looks of shock and pity.
"Excuse me," Bella mumbled with her hand up to her mouth. Jake tried to grab her arm, but she shook him off. She ran up towards the trees before keeling over and vomiting into the grass.
A/N This was such a fun chapter to write. I hope you enjoyed it?
