Aaaaaaand chapter 13. Imma answer ALL your questions at the bottom...teehee I said bottom (I say worse in this chapter so hold on)

Delicate - Damien Rice and Coin Laundry - Lisa Mitchell

I own nothing except a pervy brain, my betas whom I love with the force of an April monsoon, and my imagination where...never mind. Read on...

He said anything. Anything... good Lord, have I been talking in my sleep? Did that little puppy rat me out? Anything... ANYTHING!!! Damn him for being so vague... anything...

"Anything usually means anything, Bella," Seth cut in. We were dancing aimlessly on the beach. Well, Seth was dancing with more purpose, dragging me along in the process. Emily had decided we needed more practice after the morning session. Leah was sitting gleefully on the sand since Jacob had left to drop Billy off at my place. A boom box played "Heavenly Day" in a corner.

"Huh?"

"You've been mumbling that word all night." He smiled, twirling me. I laughed nervously. This wasn't a conversation I wanted to be having at this moment.

"I'm sure he means that he's willing to give you anything you want..." My head snapped up. He released me and held up his hands in a gesture of innocence, "...in a strictly friendly way, I mean."

"Dammit, Seth! Anyone ever taught you not to eavesdrop on other people's conversations?" I hissed.

Stupid wolf boys.

He flicked at his ear and rolled his eyes.

"It's my job to look after you, Bella. We're pretty much family now."

"You're gonna fight your Alpha to keep me safe?"

Cause I'd sell tickets for that shit.

He shrugged. "If that's what it takes."

"Brave words from chicken shit. 'Oh Jake, please don't hurt me. I'm widdle!' " I said in a high-pitched voice. I heard Leah cackle from where she sat.

His lips curled up in a wicked smile.

Uh-oh.

"Better than 'Jake, oh, Jake... do me… do me now!' " Leah was rolling about in the sand now. I punched Seth on the shoulder and started walking towards the cliffs.

"That's just sick, Seth! And I never said that! You're just a perve… a sick, nasty, voyeuristic perve!" I yelled back at him.

"Seth!" I heard Sam and Emily yell at him in unison.

"Bella, where are you going? It's not my fault! Jake… thinks... time." The wind cut through his words. I kept walking, muttering curses as my feet dug into the sand. I needed time to think, away from everyone and their sonic hearing ears.

I made my way up to the edge of the cliff. The same one I had jumped off many years ago. I tripped a few times on the way but that was expected. Sitting on the edge, I dangled my feet off the precipice. I could see the fire and silhouettes in the distance. Seth looked like he was getting a royal telling-off from Emily.

I'm not sorry. Big dumb Alpha can't keep his thoughts to himself. I hope Sam fursplodes on his ass.

"I knew you'd be here." I didn't even hear him come up behind me.

"Yeah, well, congratulations! Want your grand prize?" My voice dripped with sarcasm. I heard him sigh before he sat behind me, his long legs pressed against mine. I felt my hair being pushed aside, his fingers kneading at my neck.

"Jeez, you're tense." He kissed the base of my neck, his other hand wrapping around my waist. I gave into the sensation, humming as I dropped my head back against his shoulder.

That feels so good.

My eyes popped open and I immediately snapped my head back up.

"What are we doing, Jake?" I covered my face with my hands.

Damn him and his sex god ways.

"I think the Oxford dictionary calls this...friendship."

I twisted my head around. He was being serious.

"Being friends, my ass. Why are we doing this?"

"Cause we were made to torture each other." He smirked.

"No... I was made to torture myself and you were made to imprint on some random chick you've never met."

"About imprinting..." His other hand fell down to my upper thigh.

"You know what, Jake? I don't want to hear about you imprinting.... ever again!" I spat out. We sat in silence for a few minutes, listening to the waves hit the rocks below. In the light of the full moon, my hands shone silvery against his.

"Why are you so jealous?"

"I'm not. I just... I just don't want to lose you." I pulled at a stray piece of thread on my top. His other hand wrapped around me and I wanted to sigh in contentment.

"You'll never lose me," he murmured. I laughed like a maniac.

"Yeah, I'm sure your future wife would love that. 'Hey, where you going, honey?' 'Oh, just to hang out with my best friend, who I may or may not have slept with. Are we gonna have apple pie tonight?' It'll all be so... peachy."

We went back to silently stewing. I focused on his slow breathing, feeling his chest rise and fall against my back as his fingers made little circles on the top of my hand.

"So, what do you want to do?" His voice was low.

I wanna rip your clothes off. I wanna have hot, dirty sex with you forever and ever and ever. I want you all to myself. I want you to fall in love...

"I can't believe I'm gonna say this. I think we should be friends."

"Tell me something I don't know, Bells." He rolled his eyes.

"Friends… with benefits," I muttered.

"Err… what?" He sounded flabbergasted. As if I said I was half a tuna or something.

"I mean, it's the best way. We have amazing chemistry and..." I flapped my hands.

"I rock your world."

"Yeah, and that. And..."

"It's the best sex you've ever had..." He pursed his lips to keep from laughing.

You don't need to know that...

"Will you stop stroking your ego for just one second?" I yelled. His smile was almost reaching his ears.

"Would you like me to stroke something else?" His fingers twitched against the hem of my skirt.

"Jake…" I groaned.

"Bells…" he groaned back, mocking me.

"You know what? Forget I ever said anything. This conversation didn't happen. You know what? I'm not even sure this is real. I must have hit my head really hard on the way up here. It's the moon, I tell you, making me go cuckoo. This could be me sleep-" He grabbed my cheek, pulled me against him and kissed me. I felt his fingers on my hip, holding me close, no doubt making sure I wouldn't fall off the cliff.

Shit, he could make awkward angles sexy.

I put my hand on his jaw, exhaling sharply as he nipped at my lower lip.

"I said anything, Bells..." he murmured against my lips before walking away. I took a step back and almost lost my footing. He was the only thing keeping me safe and anchored.

I couldn't let him leave. I needed him and if this was the only way I could have him in my life then...

"JAKE!"

He turned around and I ran, launching myself at him with such force that an ordinary guy would have fallen over. He hoisted me up by my thighs as I covered his face with kisses.

"Anything?" I whispered, holding his face between my hands. His eyes burned.

"Anything..." he whispered back, covering my mouth with his.

It felt like only a few minutes and we were back at his house. He had me naked five seconds after we reached his room. I think he tore my shirt but I didn't care. I tugged at his clothes, pushing him against the door, wanting to feel his skin against mine. He flashed me a "patience, Bells" smile before pulling his shirt off. I skimmed my fingers over his chest, hoping that tonight I'd get to run my tongue down the sexy Vs along his hips. He pushed me down on the bed and I giggled, realising he was making me giddier than usual. I pushed myself up on my elbows and watched as he knelt on the bed, biting his lower lip while running his hands over my legs.

"Fuck, you have sexy legs."

I blushed in the darkness and squirmed under his touch. He grabbed me by the ankles and pulled me close, covering my entire body with his lips, tongue and hands. I thought I heard him mumble something about heels but he was kissing down my leg and I didn't care. He took my foot, placing kisses on my ankle before pushing it down till it was tucked up against my body. Before I could even question why, he pushed inside me, making me gasp with pleasure. I wanted him to go faster but he kept a slow, steady pace. He was killing me. I snaked my hand down, desperate for release.

"Jake I..." I pleaded as he pushed my hand away, pinning it down on the bed.

"Not yet..." he growled.

"But..."

"Trust me, Bells..." He sped up his thrusts as he cupped my ass. "I want you to come with me."

"Oh, God… Jake..." I groaned as his fingers rubbed at my clit, getting me closer to the edge with each thrust. He grabbed my ankle again, pulling it over his shoulder, slamming into me faster and faster. His gaze locked onto mine and I watched him watch me as I cried out his name once more, feeling him lose himself in me as I came apart around him.

He collapsed onto me, breathing hard, the sweat on his body evaporating already. He rolled to his side, pulling me with him.

"Maybe this wasn't a bad idea, after all," he whispered into my hair. "That was amazing."

I hummed in response, snuggling closer as the cool air made me shiver.

I could get used to this.

It was still dark when I woke up and I panicked a little when I couldn't feel him next to me. His side was cool so I assumed he had left a while ago. I groped around in the dark for my shirt and came up with his, slipping it over my head. It fell past my knees. After fifteen minutes of staring at the ceiling, wondering where Jake was, what he was doing and if this was a huge mistake, I sat up again. I switched on his bedside lamp, reaching for whatever he was reading.

Dracula... snort...way to get into enemy minds, Jake.

I crossed my legs, pulling his tee between them, and started on the first chapter. He hadn't gotten too far and I figured I'd read till he got back from patrols. I was up to chapter three when I heard the door open. I nervously pushed my hair behind my ear and put the book back on the night stand.

"Hey," his voice was husky and his jeans hung low on his waist. I swallowed thickly as my eyes travelled down his chest, landing on the chiselled Vs that peeked over the waistband.

Gawd, obsessed much? Why don't you write a sonnet about them and stick it on that secret shrine in your closet?

"Hey... patrols?" I stretched out my legs, pulling at the edges of the shirt.

No, Bella, he runs around shirtless hosting midnight carwashes.

"Yeah." He crawled onto the bed and flopped down, his legs hanging off the edge. I reached over to run a hand through his spiky hair. He'd had a shower. His hair and scalp was already drying under my fingertips. He moaned before dragging himself up a few inches, pushing my shirt up with his hot fingers.

"Jake!" I hissed.

He "mmmed' and rested his head on my thigh. "So cold," he murmured, pulling my other leg onto his back. I tugged at the tee, trying to keep it between my thighs to preserve some kind of dignity.

Yeah, there's nothing he hasn't seen now, dumbass.

"You're wearing my shirt," he mumbled, his breath tickling my inner thigh.

"Yeah, I'm sorry. I couldn't find..."

"I like it. You look really hot." He smiled sleepily.

"Jake, we need to discuss...stuff."

He rubbed at his eyes, groaning at the thought of having to wake up. I tugged at his hair, slipping my leg off his back. He finally relented, pulling himself up the last few inches to sit up next to me.

"Why?'

"Cause we couldn't earlier. Busy, remember?"

He smirked but I could tell he was gonna pass out soon enough.

"We need to talk about terms."

"What terms? We fuck when we need each other and if we find other people..." he paused and scratched at his temple, "...and if we find other people, we'll always be friends...blah blah blah. I know how friends with benefits works, Bells."

"You've done this before?"

"Let's just say I'm no Edward."

Burrrn...wait...oh, shit.

I scrambled out of the bed and started hunting for my clothes, finding my shirt by the door. Sure enough, he'd ripped it.

"Jesus, Bella, what the hell?" He wrapped his arms around me, trying to make me stop. I struggled ineffectually against him. It was like fighting a wall.

A hot, sexy wall that smells like soap and makes me goose bump like a camel in the Arctic.

"I don't wanna be on your list of conquests."

He sat on the bed, pulling me between his legs.

"Too late for that, Bells." He smirked, pulling my shirt from my hands and throwing it over my shoulder. I watched it hit the wall before landing on a table.

Poor shirt, battered and torn.

He put his hand behind my knee, effectively toppling me onto his lap. I sat as far away from his upper thighs as I could without falling over and fiddled with my hands. His fingers slipped into the crooks of my knees, sliding me till my chest was against his. I didn't want to look in his eyes.

Jeez, Bella, did you expect him to be a monk? Remember that talk we had about exclusivity?

"If it makes you feel better, it was a long time ago." He lowered his head and tried to make me look at him.

"Feel better? What do you mean? I don't feel bad in the first place. It's not like we're exclusive or anything. You can be with anyone you want."

"Bells," he breathed. It sounded like disappointment but I wasn't too sure.

"Right now, it's just you and me..." he held up a finger when I opened my mouth, "...but when...if I ever find someone, I promise, I'll drop you like a hot potato." He leaned in, "I would never cheat on my imprint."

His imprint... focus, Bella, this is what you wanted, remember? Best of both worlds? Best sex you've ever had? Ooooh, speaking of...

"Bells," he murmured into my neck.

"Mmmmm?"

God, the things he could do with that tongue.

"I thought you were tired..."

I smiled, letting my head fall back against his hand.

"Nah, something came up." I felt him smile against me before biting down on my neck.

"Too much Dracula," I murmured and shifted till I could feel him pressed against me. His hands were urgently pushing his shirt up my body. I braced myself against his shoulders, running my hands down his back and over his waist. I paused to rub my thumbs over the ridges on his stomach.

God, he's ripped... I'm sure I look like a sack of flour next to him.

"I love your body....It's so..." he said huskily before kissing me. It took a few minutes for us to come up for air. "...perfect."

How did he know what I was thinking?

I hummed in response, wanting him to kiss me again. He gave in, groaning as his fingers slid over my hip.

"Bella, you're naked," he growled against my lips.

No shit, Sherlock.

I moaned as he cupped my boobs under the shirt. He sucked at my neck as he pinched my nipples.

"Jake...now," I gasped out, grinding myself on his lap.

"Hmmm?"

I wrapped my hands around the nape of his neck, my thumbs digging into his jaw to get his attention just as he ran his fingers over my centre.

"Jake..." I breathed into his ear, "...fuck...me..."

He looked amused as he raised me up momentarily. I heard the zip of his jeans before he lowered me back onto him. I whimpered as I felt him slide inside me, still a little sore from our earlier adventures. His shirt was bunched up around my waist as I thrust against him, getting a little louder with every passing second.

He knew I was close and right before he could feel me clench around him, he covered my mouth.

What the hell?

"When you scream my name, I wanna be the only one who hears it."

Billy...oh, shit.

I nodded, parting my lips to taste his fingers. I sucked each one in turn as he stared. He thrust deeper into me, replacing his fingers with his mouth as I came, hard, moaning and whispering his name against his lips. I wrapped my arms around his neck, hardly able to open my eyes for the pleasure washing over me.

Good gravy, I think my legs have fallen off.

I pressed my slick forehead against his, breathing hard. He smiled, still inside me, his fingers dancing over my thighs, making me want to giggle.

"That was amazing." I rubbed his nose with mine. "Did you...? Errr...you know?"

"No, but who said we were done?" He grinned wickedly before peeling his shirt off me and throwing me onto the bed.

I squealed as he rubbed his head on my stomach and growled.

"There's this one move I wanna try..."

Huh? Huh? Huh? Let me know what ya think! I love that you guys are so invested in this story. A hot Jake or a cool Edward for every one of you! :)

Now questions...cause I've been slack...

Was Bella a virgin? In my head...nope. Its hard to resist Edward with protection. Protection you ask? yeah...titanium strength. Stopping now.

I live in Sri Lanka. I was in NZ for University and now I'm back, writing lemons and hiding them when my parents walk by. :D
