HI READERS! Someone asked me what's taking so long. One word: FINALS. I hope you enjoy!


Seventeen: Pleasure

Seth's POV

Wednesday was just like any other day as I walked into Jake's auto-shop for my shift. Although, usually I wasn't planning on telling Jake that I was outing the biggest secret of the Quileute tribe to my girlfriend tonight.

Since I handled the business aspect of the auto shop, I usually went straight to my office in the back. Today, however, I headed toward the main garage; I headed straight to where Jake was.

"Hey, Jake," I leaned against the old car that he was working on.

"Hey," He nodded absentmindedly in my direction. "How's Jane? Nice of her to babysit last night."

"Yeah she's good," I replied, tapping my foot.

"Mhm," Jake messed with something under the hood. It was obvious that he was busy and not interested in small talk.

I had no idea how to say this anyways, so I thought bluntly honesty would be sufficient. "I'm telling her."

I let out a quick breath. Wow, that wasn't as terrible as I expected.

I smiled to myself, feeling like a weight had been lifted off of. Only, as I went to step past him, Jake was suddenly standing in front of me. He used the hand with the wrench in it to stop me from walking, getting grease all over my shirt. I was about to complain when I saw his face. Usual caring, easygoing Jake looked anything but.

"What do you mean you're telling her?" He asked, his tone seething.

"I don't like her not knowing," I tried to explain quietly so that any of the non-pack workers didn't overhear.

"Well no shit," Jake shoved my arm. I narrowed my eyes at him. "None of us liked it, Seth! But there is a timing for everything. You've known Jane for, what? A month? Not even."

I grit my teeth to keep from yelling at him right here in front of everyone. "Easy for you to say when you didn't have to tell your girlfriend anything. She already knew, even about the imprinting. You didn't have to lie to her."

At this, Jake's hard expression wavered a little bit. I could see that he felt bad about what I had to do, but I could also tell that he was trying hard to cover that up because of his more important responsibilities.

"It's not a lie, Seth," Jake took a step closer to me. "Let's go talk in your office so that we can have some privacy."

What he really meant was, "so that no one could overhear," but I let it go. I nodded and then led the way back to my office. Once inside, Jake closed the door behind him, and then turned towards me, crossing his arms.

"It's not a lie," He began once more.

"No. It is a lie," I clarified.

"It's not," Jake sighed. "It's withholding information until she's ready to hear it. It's in her best interest."

"What's in Jane's best interest is for me to tell her now. She has serious trust issues because of things that have happened to her before. She tells me how she can't believe how she found me and then thanks me for not keeping any secrets from her. How could I continue to let her say those things to me when I am keeping two giant ones of my own!"

"You want to tell her about the tribe and about the imprint?" Jake's jaw dropped just a little bit.

I gulped and attempted to work up courage. Damn, it hadn't seemed so insane in my head, but all it took was for Jake to point out that I had only known Jane for a month and all of a sudden I felt like an idiot. Only, I couldn't deny the nagging feeling inside of me that knew that I was doing the right thing by wanting to tell her now.

"If I don't tell her she'll lose her trust in me," I attempted to explain. "I won't lie to her, Jake. I won't sit there and promise her that I'm not keeping anything from her and then hit her with this."

"Alright," Jake let out a long sigh and then clasped his palms around his nose, holding them there. "We can talk about the wolf thing, but the imprint is a whole different story, Seth. It's extremely complex and difficult to understand, even for us. Imagine what Jane will think; she won't understand it at all, it will probably scare the shit out of her. Then we've got a terrified 19-year-old girl with our biggest secret having no idea what any of it means and the implications of it getting out."

"I know that Jane wouldn't tell anyone," I told him honestly, because somehow, I did know that.

"It's not just about that, Seth," Jake rubbed his jawline as he thought. "Embry knew Lena for fifteen years and didn't tell her that he imprinted on her until year 15, Paul didn't tell Scarlett until... you know, Jared told Kim after they were engaged, Quil told Claire before their wedding, and I think we all know the shit-show that was Sam's story. See? That's not something to be taken lightly."

"But I'm not taking it lightly," I immediately argued. "They told them when it was right for them. I could give you the reasons why for each girl because I know that you know them too, but I don't think that's appropriate. Jane needs it now. I promise you, this is the right decision."

Jake let out a long sigh. He shrugged. "I trust your judgement, even though I think it's way too soon and she's going to flip out. It's your funeral, I guess."

I rolled my eyes. "Please. It's not like we're talking about Lena, here. Jane wouldn't cause me any bodily harm."

"What about Lena?" Embry suddenly stepped into my office, as if on cue. He was in suit pants with a dress shirt and a tie. Though, as soon as he walked in he threw the tie off and threw himself down in my chair. He began unbuttoning the top of his shirt and then rolled up the sleeves.

"Make yourself at home," I laughed.

"Was wondering if you guys wanted to get lunch with me. I had the longest day ever. You'd think kids fighting over wills would get easier. Still makes me want to punch someone in the face." He sighed and rubbed his face.

"Wow," Jake mocked. "I feel so honored. You chose us blue-collar repair men over your blonde bombshell."

Embry laughed easily. Lena's attractiveness was more a joke for Embry than us actually meaning it. It had all started when she turned 13, and suddenly she looked like a 20-year-old. It was actually funny to see Embry navigate that. I thought Jane was much, much more attractive. Especially after I saw her naked. I would never tell anyone that, though.

"Len's got rehearsal. What's new? So?"

Jake shook his head. "I've got a big job that Jared and Quil are helping me with. Maybe bring Sethy here; he can tell you all about his big plans for tonight, huh kid?"

I frowned.

"Are you pulling the trigger?" Embry shot his eyebrows up. "Should I give you the use protection talk?"

Jake and him both laughed at my expense. I rolled my eyes. Though every one of my friends was respectful to their wives and girlfriends, I wasn't interested in sharing any details about Jane and I's sex lives. That was between us and us alone.

"I'm telling Jane everything," I corrected him, and was internally cheering for myself as his expression floundered.

"Everything?" He asked after a moment.

"Yep," I crossed my arms and smiled proudly.

Suddenly, he burst out laughing. "And I thought I was a terrible imprint."

I huffed. "She deserves to know!"

"Do whatever you want!" Embry threw out his hands. "Like I said, I'm not the one to give advice here. But it's your funeral."

"That's what I said!" Jake called in from where he was now back working in the garage.

"Whatever her reaction is, I'll deal with. At least there won't be any secrets between us anymore."

Embry sighed and stood up. "Good man. Ready to get food? Or do you really need that sex talk?"

I sighed. I had no idea how Lena handled Embry, but then again, I had no idea how he handled her. They were made for each other.

"Food sounds perfect."

Embry and I went to my mom's diner for lunch, and we spent the majority of the time there talking about my school. Although Embry could be brutally honest and sometimes made jokes at the wrong times, he was the main person in the pack who was pushing me to do something beyond Jake's auto shop. Not that those guys didn't do well for themselves, but Embry made his own path. He was a lawyer, and he made a crap ton of money. I saw what he was able to do for Lena, and I respected him for that. I wanted to be able to do the same for Jane one day.

We were talking about Jane and Lena's surprising friendship, when his phone buzzed on the table, interrupting us.

"Speaking of the devil," He chuckled, picking up his phone.

"Hey Lennie."

I focused on my food for a while and zoned Embry out so that I could daydream about Jane a little bit. We hadn't discussed plans for tonight, but I though that I might die if I didn't get to see her. Even though all I wanted in the whole world was to undress her and blow her world, I thought that I should tone it back today, make sure that I called her beautiful instead of sexy, maybe held her on the couch, letting her know that I wasn't expecting more. I thought that was the best plan of action before telling her everything. I didn't want her to think anything crazy, like I waited until after I told her to sleep with her because I worried how she was going to react.

"-don't know. I'll ask him."

I caught the trail end of whatever Lena and Embry were talking about just as he pulled the phone away from his ear.

"Hey. You free tonight?"

I shook my head. "Hanging with Jane. Remember?"

"He's free," He said into the phone.

I narrowed my eyes at him. "Embry-,"

"Jane and Lena already talked," He waved my complaint away. "She asked Len to check with us to make sure it worked because she's working."

"To make sure what worked?" I asked suspiciously.

"Hey, love you. I'm at lunch though babe. Can I call you back?" Embry ignored me.

I waited patiently until he got off of the phone. Once the call ended he tossed his phone onto the table and took a bite of food.

"The girls decided we're going out tonight," Embry cocked an eyebrow at me. "I guess that suicide talk will have to wait."

I didn't answer. All I could think about was what Jane might wear, and worry we'd make it out in the first place.


Jane's POV

I took the bus home today. Although Seth insisted that I called him when I got off, I knew that he was working today, and I also knew that I had been taking him away from work much too often to be my chauffeur. Although, that wasn't really my fault! I was perfectly fine using public transportation, it was Seth who insisted otherwise.

Instead of texting him letting him know I was going to take the bus, for which he would surely have argued with me, I opted to just text him once I was home, letting him know what I had done.

He sent back a simple, -_- I could have picked you up. I laughed to myself. Seth was the only guy in the world that got annoyed at me for being too courteous to him, not anything else.

Did you talk to Lena? I typed back, pulling my hair from my pony and letting it flow loosely down my back. I sighed; that felt so good. It had begun to hurt from being back all day.

Yes. What are we doing tonight? Think we'll make it out?

I giggled to myself and then bit the corner of my finger. I wanted to flirt with him so badly, and texting was a perfect way to do that. In person I had to deal with the red cheeks and nerves, but over text I could be pretty damn confident.

I slipped out of my work clothes and sat down on the edge of my bed in my bra and panties.

I guess that depends on what I wear. Or what I don't...

I bit the center of my lip as I pressed send, and then nervously held the phone up to my face, waiting for a response.

His response was quick. Could you be more specific?

I nibbled on the corner of my lip. Sure. Or I could show you. I pressed send before I was able to talk myself out of it.

You're killing me, Jane. When? His text popped up as I lied down on my bed.

I slipped my panties off and then twisted my hips so that my thigh was covering my center. I took a few pictures before I got one that was sexy enough, showing off the curve of my butt while still leaving enough to the imagination.

Are you alone? I thankfully remembered to ask before sending.

Yes. Just in my office.

I pressed send, and then covered my face with my pillow. Holy crap!

I threw it to the other side of the room once he responded, devouring his response like some sort of animal.

You. Are. So. Sexy. A few seconds passed. Wow. I'm obsessed with you. Another second. And your body. A half a second. Please don't move. I could be over in ten?

I laughed to myself before responding. I have things to do;) Sorry! Delete that picture, by the way.

I will after I look at it for a few more minutes. A beat passes. I mean hours. I promise.

I chuckled. Teasing Seth was so much fun. It was becoming one of my favorite activities. I slipped on a tee-shirt and then my panties once again and headed for downstairs. I knew that I needed to shower and get ready for tonight, but I also needed to play; it wasn't really a competition as to which took precedence over the other.

My music was a little unusual today.

My core didn't carry the tune to something deep, depressing and emotional. I didn't let out the feelings and pain that I had been holding in through the keys. The sound didn't reverberate through my soul, hurting my chest and making my bones ache. It wasn't that I didn't play from the soul, for that I always did; I couldn't help it. Only, this time, what came from my soul wasn't depressing and dark. It was happy.


I went over to Seth's apartment later that night for some pizza before we met Lena and Embry out. I had only realized once he invited me over that I had never been to his apartment before, and for some reason that made me very nervous.

Something about a man's bachelor pad; the irrational part of myself wondered if I was going to find something like a pair of panties on his bedroom floor. I had to remind myself that just because I found two pairs in my ex's dorm room, didn't mean that I would find them in Seth's place.

Seth's apartment was only a few blocks from me, but because I was wearing heels tonight, I really didn't feel like walking. Plus, it was dark out and I was in a going-out dress. I could imagine Seth wouldn't be too pleased about me trying to re-create how we met. So, I called an Uber. It was only $7 total, including the tip, so I wasn't too upset about it.

His apartment was nice from the outside, more like a condo I realized. He told me once that he used to live with Quil before he got married to Claire, but he kept the original place because he really liked it, even though it was a little bigger than what he needed. I could see how why he did.

I found his number and knocked lightly, Now, suddenly bashful. I wondered if I should have put my heels on rather than have them dangling in my hand, but before I could ponder it, I heard his voice come through the door.

"Come on in!"

I took a deep breath, and then I stepped inside.

Seth's house smelled incredible. Like seriously, seriously incredible. Like a restaurant in Italy.

"Woah," I moaned. "What's that smell."

"Pizza," He grinned at me as I walked into the kitchen. His eyes widened once I stepped into view. "Wow," He commented, his eyes traveling up and down my body. I had on a black dress with a little bit of black beading at the top, accentuating the chest area, with thin spaghetti straps that highlighted my collarbone. I would call it coincidental, but I hadn't forgotten how much Seth said he loved that part of me when I picked out this dress.

"Thanks," I blushed.

"I didn't even get to complement you yet," Seth chuckled at me. "Don't thank me yet."

I tried to ignore him and steer the direction in a different direction. I hated this kind of attention, especially complements. I never knew what to say back.

"I didn't know you were actually making pizza!" I chuckled. "I thought you meant you were picking some up."

Seth washed his hands at the sink and then walked over to me, wrapping his arms around my back and then pulling away to look at me.

"Wow," He said again, his jaw tensing just a little bit. "You look... wow."

I giggled. "Seth," I sighed in a complaint.

"You look incredible," He told me. "Seriously. There aren't adjectives to describe how you look. It makes my life very difficult."

"Thanks," I blushed. "Now please stop it."

"Why?" He laughed, brushing a piece of my hair behind my ear.

"Because it embarrasses me."

"You seemed shameless on the phone earlier," He smiled, kissing me gently. Seth's fingertips just barely brushed against my cheeks before he slid them down to my jaw and held it gently in his hands.

I couldn't help my body from having an overwhelming, physical reaction to his kiss. I let out an uneven, shaky breath and pressed my lips to his, loving how warm he was, everywhere. Seth's hands stroked my cheeks before dipping to my arms, and then sliding down my skin there slowly. His hands fanned out, his fingertips just barely brushing against my chest. I gasped, biting the center of my lip in anticipation.

Seth chuckled against my lips, but his laugh was deep and throaty. I could tell how badly he wanted me, too.

"Aren't you hungry?" He asked me, breathless.

I let my lower lip bounce from underneath my upper teeth's grip. "Mhm," I mumbled, reaching for the waistband of his pants.

There was a knock on the door.

I tilted my face up to his, confused.

A vein in Seth's neck tensed. "I invited Embry and Lena over for dinner," He complained with a tensed voice. "Insurance. To be sure we made it out."

I moaned and reached for his collar. "Tell them to go away," I whispered.

Seth laughed as he raised his hand to stroke my fingers. "I can't," He whispered back.

"Seth," I practically whined, shifting my hips closer to his.

He moaned. "Later."

He kissed me quickly, but I wrapped my arms around his neck, deepening the kiss. In an instant, I felt the tension in Seth's body all but give out. He melted into me, placing one hand on my lower back and one behind my neck, pushing me up against the counter.

Our mouths worked feverishly, lost in each other. I swear we both forgot that they were even there...

"Hey! Anyone home?" I heard Lena's voice sadly not soon enough.

I gasped, twirling away from Seth instantaneously. My eyes were wide and I swear my entire face filled with fire. Crap!

"Oh my God!" Lena's mouth dropped. "You freaks!" She laughed. "We were knocking for like five minutes!"

Embry came in behind her, took one look at me and then at Seth, shook his head, and laughed to himself.

"Did we interrupt something?" He joked, coming into the kitchen to open Seth's fridge.

"No," Seth covered for us. "Just teaching Jane how to make pizza."

"Is that what you were teaching her?" Lena laughed, taking a seat at the island.

I moaned and then gave into the embarrassment, giving up on trying to cover it. I walked around the kitchen to take a seat next to her.

"So is the pizza safe to eat?" Lena joked, apparently not done using that moment to my expense just yet.

"Shut it," I demanded, but once I saw her face it took everything in me not to laugh. A giggle slipped between my lips, and then we both exploded at once. I could tell in the glint in her eyes that she wanted to say more, and that she knew about what happened due to the dress from the other night. Oddly enough, I found myself wanting to tell her about what happened in the Black's bathroom the other night, too. I had never been interested in sharing my personal life; was this what it felt like to have a girlfriend?

"How was rehearsal today, Lennie?" Seth asked, going back to his pizza making, which was incredibly sexy, might I add.

"Amazing. I beat out three girls for a solo and stole back center spot after I screwed up at rehearsal last week."

"You? Screw up?" Seth joked with her, a smile on his face. God, even Seth's teasing was nice. Was there anything wrong with this guy?

"Shocking, huh?" Embry played along, coming up behind her with a water and then handing it to her. Embry placed his hands on her shoulders and began massaging them; Lena winced, and then let out a moan and let her body fall into it. I blushed and looked away; it seemed a little intimate to be watching that.

"Have you ever had Seth's pizza before?" Lena asked, her voice obviously strained as Embry massaged her.

"Oh, no," I blushed.

"It's amazing," Embry finished. "Better than his mom's. Don't ever tell her I said that."

I chuckled. "I won't."

"Have you even met Seth's mom yet?" Lena asked.

I blushed ruthlessly. "No."

"Seth!" Both Lena and Embry yelled at the same time.

"What?" He held up his hands in shock.

"You can't keep Jane all to yourself!" Lena demanded, crossing her arms and pulling herself out of Embry's grasp. "This is ridiculous! You've been dating for how long? And your poor mother has been begging to meet her for weeks."

"She has?" My eyes widened.

"You're the worst," Lena shook her head at him.

"Yeah! The worst!" Embry said in a mock female voice. Lena punched him in the gut for that, though he merely laughed it off. I may have gasped at that one; it really seemed like she put some force behind that punch, but Embry acted like she had merely swatted him.

"I didn't know that," I whispered, and then suddenly I turned my attention to Seth. Was it crazy that I found myself wondering why Seth didn't want me to meet his parents? Was it even crazier that my heart dropped as I wondered why that was? Was he not as serious about me as I thought?

"No, don't-," Seth dropped his spatula, cocked his head and moaned, his expression dropping as he looked at me. "Do you see what you two did?" He pointed at Embry and Lena and then back to me.

Lena and Embry both laughed. "We're just kidding, Jane," She said as Embry wrapped her arms around her neck. "Seth's not a total jack-ass. He's just trying to do the whole, 'don't scare her with everything all at once because I've got a giant, crazy family with loads of drama' thing. It happens with everyone."

I chuckled, though it still didn't help that sinking feeling in my gut. "Do you not want me to meet your mom?" I whispered to him, unable to help myself.

Seth moaned. "No, Jane. Of course not- I mean, of course I want you to meet her." He narrowed his eyes and shook his head at Lena and Embry as he rounded the island to come over to me. "I just didn't have a chance to invite you over to her house for dinner, yet. We've been really busy."

"That's true," I murmured, because it was. Between my school schedule, work schedule, and now Seth schedule, we barely had time to see each other.

"Please don't think that," He brushed a piece of hair behind my ear.

I sighed. "Fine," I blushed, feeling a little embarrassed by the attention. "But you're buying me a drink tonight for that one."

Embry burst out laughing. "She's learning so fast! Look out Sethy, boy!"

We all laughed easily together, as Seth threw a pepperoni at him.

After dinner, which was incredible, by the way, Lena insisted on making a few drinks before we left.

"I'm terrified," I laughed, staring at the blender mix up a light pinky-orange concoction that she swore was delicious.

"Don't be!" She demanded. "It's amazing. This is what my best friend used to make for us when we would go out. He called it 'Tanner Juice,' because apparently it made him irresistible and without it he wouldn't be able to bring any girls home."

My eyes widened. I peered over at Embry, who was smiling at her casually.

"Hopefully not you," I stated after a moment.

Lena burst out laughing. "No, idiot! Not me!"

I laughed. "Well that was the weirdest thing to say ever! I thought you forgot your boyfriend was here for a moment."

"See!" Embry pointed at me. "Yet another person who thinks that you being best friends with a playboy football player was weird! Thank you, Jane. I arrest my point."

Lena rolled her eyes. "Oh relax," She giggled. "We were never like that. He brought back a different girl every single night. I was literally his wing-women on most nights."

"Are you two not friends anymore?" I asked, curious about her use of the past tense.

"Oh, we are!" Lena grinned happily. "But he went off to school out of state on a football scholarship. He's super good. Embry and I were going to go to one of his games soon. You should come!"

"I'm good with Jane never meeting Tanner," Seth cut in, holding up his hands. "I think I still have PTSD about your last Tanner fight."

"Seth!" Lena lunged at him, knocking him over playfully as he stood up with a laugh. "Stop giving away all my secrets!" She turned to me now. "Embry likes to push my buttons, and I have a teensy bit of a temper." Both the boys laughed at that, though she merely rolled her eyes. "So we'll have a drag-out fight every six months or so. They like to make it sound like I'm insane and this happens all of the time."

"Nah not anymore, Lennie," Seth kissed me on the cheek as he said this, making me blush, and then gently punched her shoulder. "We just like to make fun of you because in the beginning it was pretty hysterical."

"Will I ever live down the plate throwing incident?" She moaned.

"No!" Embry laughed. "It was at my head!"

"Well you were a douche!" She fought.

"Here we go," Seth whispered in my ear. I giggled, loving this ridiculous dynamic already.

Embry winked at her, and she merely rolled her eyes, though I caught the hints of a smile playing on the corner of her lips. It was obvious that there was so much love between Lena and Embry, and that those fights were merely expressions of passion. Even so, I thanked God that Seth and I had a magnitude of passion without the plate throwing.

Lena finished mixing the drink and then poured me a giant glass. I peered at in uneasily.

"Can't we just get drinks when we get there?" I asked nervously.

"Drinks at the club are always so expensive," She shook her head.

"Why are you worried about it?" Embry teased her. "Have you ever bought a drink for yourself in your entire life?"

"Nope," She popped the "p" and cocked her head. "Hot girl perk. Right Jane?" They all turned towards me.

I blushed. "No comment," I giggled, taking a sip of the drink just to get off the subject.

"No comment?" Seth exclaimed.

I giggled. "Wow! This is actually good!" I took a bigger sip.

"Told ya!" Lena grinned. "You really don't want to know how much alcohol is in it; that's the best part."

"Oh dear," I laughed to myself. It had been forever since I let loose and get wasted. As if sensing my thoughts, Lena asked just that.

"Do you go out often? Can you hold your liquor or should we be worried about you?"

I laughed. "I used to. Not anymore. I hold my liquor quite nicely, though. I've only puked... three times? Well, four times. Actually, I think seven, but a few of those times don't count."

"Holy crap!" Seth laughed, shaking his head at me incredulously. When. I turned towards him, his eyes were wide with amazement, his jaw dropped.

I suddenly felt very self-conscious. "Isn't that normal?" I asked.

"Ugh, no," Lena laughed, hopping onto Embry's lap. "You're way cooler than us. Embry's practically an old man, I'm career oriented, and Seth's a goody-two-shoes."

"Oh," I giggled. "Well, my friends in high school were the party people, so I always judged myself compared to them. I swear, in comparison I was the good girl!"

"Nice criteria," Lena giggled.

"Well, I didn't cheat, didn't black out, and didn't get handsy when I was drunk," I shrugged. "Compared to my ex I was a saint!"

Lena spit out her drink she laughed so hard.

"You're really funny, Jane," Embry told me, honestly. "I'm surprised."

I blushed and then looked over nervously at Seth. I didn't mean to always bring up my ex, and I hoped that it didn't come off that way to him. Only, his expression was humorous, proud even, as he beamed down at me. He tipped his glass towards me, and then we both took a sip. He leaned down to whisper in my ear.

"I can promise you that I'll never cheat or blackout, but I can't make any promises about the handsy part. Especially with you in that dress."

I blushed and peered towards Lena and Embry; thankfully, they were saying something secretly to each other, too.

I took the chance to kiss him, chastely this time, while they weren't looking.

Once we made it out of the house, to say that Lena and I weren't pretty buzzed would have been an understatement. I thought that Seth might have been, but I couldn't really tell as easily, and Embry was practically fine, though I could tell from the way that he watched Lena that he enjoyed her like this.

"Where'r we going?" I slurred.

"Wow," Seth widened his eyes at me. "Babe, are you already that drunk? Len, what did you put in that drink?"

"No!" I laughed. "I sear I'm not!" I slurred again. The entire Uber laughed at me, including the driver. I forced down my laughs to explain. "No matter how much I drink, a glass of wine or a bottle of tequila; my speech is always the first to go. I can't help it."

"Yeah, she also has a severe super power called 'liquid courage," Seth kissed my cheek. "Ask her anything!"

"Oo! Oo!" Lena perked up.

"Not now!" I flushed, somehow already knowing where her mind went.

Lena laughed. "Later," She promised me.

"Oh boy," I sighed, leaning back in the seat. "Thanks," I whispered to Seth.

"Sorry, he reached for my hand. I curled into his side. Maybe I was that drunk, because I was seriously turned on, and it was getting harder and harder to care that there were two other people in the car with us.

Thankfully, we got to the club before I did anything I would regret in front of Lena and Embry. The girls got in for free, as both of our men had to pay, which I felt a little bad for, but Seth assured me not to worry about. We first went up to the bar, where Embry insisted on buying the first round of shots.

Four clear shot glasses of vodka arrived in front of us. I picked mine up expectantly. What I didn't tell them, is that I self-medicated with this stuff way more than I should have after my parents. I knew how to take a shot down.

We were about to cheerz, when we were interrupted.

"Hey!" The bartender suddenly slid another shot in front of me and Lena. "From the guy across the bar!"

Lena winced. "Embry!" She grabbed his hand immediately. "Stop."

My eyes widened. I peered over at Seth, who was making death glares at the guy across the bar. I leaned into him. "Don't get jealous," I whispered into his ear. "I don't even know him."

Seth's fingers brushed my hips as he hugged me from behind and pushed me up to the bar.

"I'm not. You look incredible. I told you. You're bound to draw attention, even if I wished you didn't."

I giggled. "Stop!"

"Now that Embry's not going to cause a riot," Lena blew hair out her eyes, even though his jaw was still tensed and his eyes narrowed. I was slightly frightened of him.

I chuckled. "Well, now we've got two shots to take. Think we can handle it?"

At this, Embry seemed to lighten up. "I will pay you girls if you can do this. I know Len can't."

"Hey!" She argued. "I can!"

"Show me," He winked at her.

"Hey," Seth nudged my shoulder. "You don't have to."

I tilted my face up at him, over my shoulder. "I know," I whispered. "But I can, promise. Then cut me off for a while. I don't want you to have to carry me home."

Seth laughed, squeezing my waist just slightly. "You know I would, though."

I giggled. "Let's have a lot of fun," I turned to wrap my arms around his neck. "Let's be young and dumb, just for tonight!"

Seth kissed me easily. "Done."

"Jane, come on!" Lena pulled on my arm.

I turned around, where Embry had his phone ready. "Don't do anything with that!" I laughed. "I'm underage!"

Embry rolled his eyes. "So is she! Trust me, I'll keep it on lock and key! Just show it at family Christmas parties in years to come."

"Oh gosh," I laughed.

"On three?" She asked me.

"Help," I responded.

We clinked our first shot together, then hit the table top, then took it down. I winced just barely as I quickly picked the other one up and took it myself, not bothering with the cheers because it was taking Lena much longer. I finished the second and then burst out laughing, turning towards Seth.

He pulled me by my waist out to the dance-floor. "Do you dance?" He asked with a sweet smile on his face.

"Not really," I giggled. "But I might with you."

"Same here," He kissed me gently, and then more deeply. I melted into him as the alcohol seeped into my veins, burning a little, making everything a little blurry, but slowing everything down, too.

"Let's go home," I whispered sweetly against his lips. I pulled back to raise my eyes to meet his.

Seth laughed, brushing some hair out of my face. "We just got here," He quieted his voice, even with the music, so that only I could hear.

"Yeah but I only care about hanging out with you, anyways." I suddenly felt like a jerk. "And Lena, too," I mumbled after a moment.

Seth grinned and pulled me to him by the waist. He swayed my hips from side to side before I finally giggled and moved them on my own accord. "You're just turned on, aren't you baby?" Seth teased me. He twirled my hair in his hand behind my back.

I giggled and then bit the corner of my lip, dropping my chest against his. "Maybe a little."

"Maybe a little," He chuckled, kissing me once more.

"I think you created a monster," I nodded seriously.

"You're the sexiest monster I've ever seen," He brushed his lips against mine. "Trust me."

"Do you have ex-perience with monsters?" I giggled, struggling with the word.

Seth let out a quick breath and then shook his head to himself. "You're a good dancer," He looked me up and down appreciatively.

"Now I know you're lying!" I laughed. "I can't trust anything you say anymore."

"I'm not lying!" Seth laughed. "You are."

"Wever," I slurred.

"Wever" Seth laughed, pulling me to him by my waist. "That's pretty sassy, Janesie. Are you trying to turn me on or something?"

I giggled wildly against his lips; I suddenly realized that I couldn't feel my own. "Is it working?" I asked.

"Jane," He cupped my cheek in his hand. "I realized a long time ago that I'm in a constant state of being turned on when I am in your presense. It never ends. Never goes away. I just have to live with it."

I giggled. "Well I am sorry about that. That seems very... frustrating."

He kissed me gently, his lips molding into mine easily. "You're perfect, Jane," Seth whispered into my mouth. "And being constantly tempting is part of your charm. It's not a bad thing at all."

The song changed, and before I could come up with a response that would be half as good as all Seth's are, Lena grabbed my hand, pulling me away from Seth and towards her. It was a girl-power pop anthem that we both knew well, and the alcohol had just begun to hit enough so that I was able to easily dance along with her, throwing my head from side to side and shaking my hips in that way that I knew attracted male attention, only I wasn't looking for any attention besides from Seth's. I put an extra sway to my hips as I hoped he was watching me, the alcohol making me brave.

The room was getting dizzy now, my vision getting spotty. I held my eyes closed for longer periods of time now, for everything was so out of focus. The lights were blinding me, the different colors were making me have to blink my eyes rapidly together.

It was amazing.

This was the most fun I had, had since my parents died.


Seth's POV

We arrived home from the club around three am. Lena and Embry took an Uber from my apartment, where we hung out some more and sobered up a little, before taking one back to his place.

Though Jane and I had our fair share of flirty glances and sensual smiles, I don't think that Jane nor Lena stopped talking to each other all night. I think that both Embry and I were shocked at their easy friendship, especially given both of their propensities to having friendships with other girls.

Once they left, Jane was barely even slurring anymore as she sighed and said that she was tired. I led the way up to my room, bear hugging her around the back as she attempted to walk with the added weight. Both of us were laughing ridiculously as I flicked on the light and she took my small room in.

She blinked her eyes a few times tightly together. "Wow," Jane sighed loudly, turning me on almost immediately, not that I hadn't been turned on all night long just staring at her. "I'm dizzy."

I mentally kicked myself. I really hoped that she wasn't too drunk tonight. I wouldn't take advantage of her, but God I really, really wanted her.

Jane stumbled a little, I managed to catch her around the waist, and then raise her up to rest her on the dresser next to her bed. A few of her things fell to the ground, but neither of us really seemed to mind.

"Oo," Jane giggled. "Woops."

I smiled at her as I brushed all of her messy hair out of her face.

"Sorry," Jane giggled, her eyes bright. "Is my hair ridiculous."

"I love your hair," I told her gently.

Jane's lips pulled up into a wide grin. "Well," She began slowly, hesitantly reaching her hands out to tangle them in my collar. "I had a great time tonight." Her voice was so freaking sweet. It made me want to hold her and never let her go.

"Me too," I brushed my thumbs against her cheek. "You look so incredible. It was hard for me not to have my hands on you all night."

Jane blushed. "You kind of did," She murmured sweetly.

"Kind of?" I breathed into her mouth.

"Kind of," Jane breathed, but her voice was merely a whisper now.

I pulled back a little to see her eyes closed, her cheeks red and flushed. Thank God.

"You know what, Jane?" I skimmed my hand below her jawline and then held her head delicately in my palm as I kissed her jaw. Her breaths were audible as I followed the trail to her ear, and then down her neck. I spent my time breathing against the skin there, hitting the spot that I knew she loved.

"Oh, Seth," Jane let out a long, shaky breath.

I breathed the sounds of her needing me. It was so sexy. Jane was so sexy. Everything about her was sexy.

"I realized something terrible," I kissed her soft skin.

"Terrible?" Jane's voice picked up at the end, her eyes still closed.

"Mm," I sucked just a little bit on that spot right behind her ear and she gasped. When I pulled away she had the center of her lip between her teeth. I brushed my thumbs against her lips and then replaced them with my mouth. I kissed her sweetly as she breathed into my mouth, begging for more.

"I realized that I've never made love to you in a bed before."

Jane's lips slowly pulled up into a small grin. She bit the center of her lip and batted her eyes up to meet mine.

"That's a tragedy," She whispered, her lips parting.

"Such a tragedy," I agreed, skimming my fingertips along the edges of her dress.

"Are you gunna do anything about it?" She asked slowly.

I hitched my hands up her thighs, right between her legs, and then slipped my fingers underneath her panties.

Jane gasped, her eyes growing wide as I felt her wetness underneath me. Jane was already ready for me. I wanted to watch her some more first, though.

I began moving my fingers delicately against her, in a slow up and down motion that made her mouth dip and breaths come out faster.

"Mm," Jane moaned and bit the corner of her lip, dropping her head back and closing her eyes.

"Jane," I delicately pulled her head back down. "Look at me," I whispered to her.

The crease between her eyebrows deepened as I continued. She moaned again. "You always want me to look at you," She struggled to get out.

I smiled. "I love watching you like this," I admitted.

"Take me to bed?" She asked sweetly, her face flushed. "I'm ready now.

I groaned, lifting her into my arms and then covering the short distance to the bed. I laid her down underneath the covers and then followed suit. Jane was already reaching for my shirt, pulling is over top of my head, as I quickly slid her dress off of her and threw it on the floor. Jane pulled her bra-straps off, and I unhooked it for her, before sliding that off of her as well. I skimmed my fingers along her nipples as I did that, and breathed in the sound of her moan. Pleasing Jane was my favorite thing in the entire world.

Jane didn't wait for me to take her panties off, and then immediately she was reaching for my pant buckle. I let her unhook those, and then allowed her to slide my pants and boxers off before I took a little bit of control, but there really wasn't any control left in either of us.

I climbed on top of her, careful not to hurt her, as Jane clawed for me to press myself against her.

"I need you," She whimpered, her breaths fast and uneven.

I moaned, and then I slid inside of her.

Jane gasped, her mouth holding open as I pulled back to watch her. Her breathing came back slowly, and in short gasps, until she was begging for more. I obliged, because making Jane feel good was the only thing that I cared about in the entire universe.

I tangled my fingers in her hair as I moved myself in and out of her, this time not worried about hurting her because I knew that I wasn't hurting her at all. Jane was louder now than she had been the prior two times; I wasn't sure if that was the alcohol or if now all the pain was gone, and all that was left was pleasure.

I stroked the sides of her thighs in my hands before reaching for them and pulling them up to hold them at my sides.

Jane whimpered when I went deeper than before. "God, Seth," She arched her back. "Fuck. Don't stop."

I moaned as I made her wishes come true. I could tell that she was reaching her peak almost as soon as it was happening. Jane's eyes closed in concentration, and her whimpers and moans all but ceased. Her mouth fell open, and her breaths froze for a few seconds, before suddenly, she erupted around me.

Jane let out a loud moan and then bit down hard on her lip, a ripple going through her abdomen. Her thighs tensed tightly to my hips, and I felt her insides quivering against me, again and again.

I slowly lowered her thighs back to the bed, and then went to pull myself out of her.

"No, no," Jane opened her eyes, reaching for me. I kept myself inside of her and pulled myself up so that we were face to face.

She closed her eye again, moaned so very softly, and then wrapped her arms around my neck. Jane lifted her legs and tangled them around my back, as I suddenly realized that Jane had no intention of stopping anytime soon. That was so sexy, how she wanted more. I wanted to make her cum again and again and again, so many times that she forgot everything except for my name.

I moved slower now, taking the time to kiss her delicately, as she whimpered sweet sounds of pleasure into my mouth. Jane ran her nails down my back. I had to tense to keep from coming apart. I dipped my lips to her neck and began to suck on her skin there, hearing her sigh in ecstasy.

Jane's hands slowly slid from my neck to my shoulders down to my chest, and then she pushed on me, pushing me away, off of her. I immediately pulled back, worried that she was done and I hadn't realized, only, Jane followed me with her body. She rolled on top of me, and then pushed herself up.

"Holy shit," I mumbled to her as I watched her position herself on top of me. Jane's hair was everywhere, sexy and messy and full. Her cheeks were flushed, lips were pink, and eyes were wild. I fucking loved this angle. At this angle I could see her facial expressions more clearly. I could see the pleasure display on her face, and I lived for it. I was soaking it in, so, so, so close. Until...

I gasped and pulled her off of me, coming undone on the skin of my stomach. It was a little inconvenient that I had to pull out every time I had to cum, but I didn't think that Jane nor I wanted to risk that, even if she had birth control. Not that anything about this situation wasn't perfect.

Jane moaned gently, and after a second, I looked up to see her watching me. Holy crap. How was I still so turned on by her, even right after my release?

She crawled down my legs, and then looked up at me with playful, sensual eyes that told me that she knew exactly what she was doing to me as she ran the tip of her tongue along the length of me.

I took a noisy, deep breath. "I can't Jane," I told her. "Not so soon."

She picked me up in her palm and twirled her tongue around the tip of me. "Try," She begged sweetly.

I moaned.

Jane put me inside of her mouth now, moving me up and down and pressing me into her throat. I was hard again before I thought it was possible, and when I reached for her back on top of me, Jane was more than ready. She moved naturally and sexily on top of me. From this angle I could take in all of her delicious curves, and I memorized every part of her.

It was so unrealistically sexy, watching her get herself off on me. I reached my hands up when I knew that I couldn't help myself anymore and rubbed my fingers against her nipples, that hardened for me almost instantly.

I pulled her down, so that her chest was pressed into mine, making me moan, and then moved my hips so that she didn't have to.

Jane moaned loudly as I kissed her deeply. Her moans and our tongues all tangled and meshed together. I rolled her over so that I was back on top. Jane tangled her fingers in my hair, and then wrapped her arms around my neck, pulling herself up. I sat up, pulling her into my lap with me, as I moved her on top of me.

Jane's whimpers were even now, timed and in tune. I never wanted to stop. Nothing in my entire life had ever felt this incredible.

I lowered her back down, and Jane now was the one to roll on top of me, taking control again and riding at a rate that she seemed to like. She hit a spot that I could tell she liked, and I started moving my hips in tune with her's, to make it deeper for her.

Jane gasped. "Fuck Seth. Fuck."

I gently guided her arms down, so that her back was parallel with the bed as she rode on top of me, using her hands to steady herself ontop of the covers.

Her thighs tensed. "Seth," She whimpered.

I pulled myself up, pulling my legs behind me and taking her thighs into my hands, and then went hard so that she could get off.

Jane practically exploded this time. She let out a whine of pleasure as her entire body shook. Her toes curled. Her nails dug into my arms. Her mouth was quivering. She was tightening and loosening around the part of me that was still inside of her at a feverish pace. Her thighs were so tight they began to quiver.

I pulled out just in time, and this time I finished right on top of her sweet spot.

I let her relax against the mattress as I grabbed my shirt from off of the floor and cleaned her up. After that, I dropped down next to her.

Jane was breathing deeply, her chest still rising and falling much faster than normal. She licked the center of her lips as she took a deep breath. I wrapped my arms around her back and pulled her to me. Jane responded instantly, by burying her face into my bare shoulder and tangling her fingers into the base of my hair.

"Wow," She breathed, her voice raspy.

I kissed her shoulder, and then I ran my hands up and down her back.

"Thanks," She whispered.

"Stop," I told her gently.

"No. I'll never stop thanking you," Jane argued. "You're so attentive."

"You deserve that, Jane."

"You're amazing. You could cum inside of me, you know."

I tightened my grip around her. "You want me to?"

She nodded against my skin.

"Okay," I kissed the side of her head. "Are you relaxed and ready for bed now?"

"Mm," Jane answered in response.

I chuckled, running my fingers through the ends of her hair. "I love you, Jane," I whispered to her.

"I love you too, Seth," Jane replied, just before falling asleep in my arms.

I spent the next few hours before I fell asleep too, running through how I was going to tell her everything that I needed to, and worrying that she would somehow not understand. Jane was so innocent, so sexy and perfect and kind and sweet and ultimately damaged. She was orphaned, and alone, and had been treated like crap by a guy who never respected her. She deserved to know the truth, which was why I had to tell her. No matter what.


YAY! What did you all think of this chapter? The story is about to take off from here; I have a lot of things planned! Any predictions?
