It had been a couple months since Jacob had confronted Leah on her front lawn. Since then tension between the two was still present but they stayed as civil as they could when on patrol together. Leah had closed on the abandoned house a week ago and begun the demo. Because of school, patrols and work Leah and Bella hadn't gotten a chance to spend as much time with each other as they wanted. Leah was sweeping the kitchen floor of the small house when she heard the familiar roar of her favourite truck. The truck moved slowly up the old driveway. Leah and Seth had only managed to clear large debris from it, but the driveway was still peppered with small obstacles. As the truck continued it's approach Leah sped up her sweeping efforts by sweeping the grime out the front door. She stashed the broom in a closet beside the front door and pushed her hair out of her face. She only then cursed herself for not leaving herself enough time to shower quickly. Leah had been sweating lightly and the airborne dirt had clung to her. Too late now, the truck was feet away and she was too excited to postpone seeing her girlfriend to hop in the shower. This would be the first time Bella properly spent time at her house. Bella had seen the house before and even helped with a few small things after school but Leah always insisted she go home for the night. This would be the first weekend either woman stayed in the rundown house. Leah started walking towards the truck as it slowed and parked.

"You know this is private property, right?" Leah smirked at Bella as the other woman hopped out of the truck.

"Really? I thought this was the country club" Bella feigned surprise.

"Well you're trespassing now, you better hope the guard dog isn't too close" Leah continued to smirk as she took Bella's overnight bag from her.

"I'm not too scared I hear the guard dog is a big softie under that tough exterior" Bella smiled up at Leah with admiration.

Leah laughed lightly and leaned down to quickly kiss her. "You're lucky you're so cute"

Leah took Bella's now healed right hand and led her towards the house, suddenly feeling a little anxious. She hoped Bella wasn't too disgusted or disappointed by the condition of the house. Once inside the door Leah stopped and watched Bella's reaction.

"Wow Lee, you've been busy" she tugged on Leah's arm, leading her further into the house.

"Yeah well I've got this real hot piece staying over for the weekend. I had to clean up a bit" Leah's cocky smirk surfaced again.

"Oh gosh, I should get out of your hair then" Bella mocked being flustered before turning in different directions looking for an exit.

"C'mere" Leah said low, pulling Bella tight against her.

Bella wrapped her arms around Leah's waist, all mocking gone from her expression as she got lost in Leah's deep black/brown eyes. Leah leaned down and kissed her, passionately. Bella sighed, content to stay like this forever. Too soon, Leah broke off and Bella whimpered softly in protest.

"Miss.Swan, I don't know what kind of woman you think I am" Leah exclaimed in a horrific southern accent as she lightly dropped Bella's overnight bag "but I am saving myself for marriage!" She made a dramatic face as she swept Bella up in her arms, lifting the small woman into a secure hug. Bella laughed loudly as her legs instinctively wrapped around Leah's waist, her arms finding Leah's neck.

"I missed you" Bella sighed as she buried her face in Leah's neck.

"Mmm...it's only been two days…" Leah practically purred as Bella gently kissed just below her jaw. "...eight hours aaaand" Leah swung them around so she could see the time on the old microwave " 27 minutes"

Bella pulled her face back from Leah's neck and screwed her face up "quit being an idiot and just say you missed me too"

Leah smiled at Bella with a dopey puppy dog face "I missed you more than you can imagine, so did my wolf"

Bella's face relaxed into one similar to Leah's. "When do I get to see her?"

Leah had discovered that although her wolf was apart of her there was something unique about being with Bella in her wolf form. Some guttural part of the imprint enjoyed being in a powerful form around Bella, solidifying that Leah could protect Bella indefinitely. Leah had felt weird mentioning it to Bella but Bella had broached the subject herself. Bella enjoyed the company of Leah's wolf just as much. She liked to draw the wolf or sit, wrapped up in Leah's soft fur just talking to the wolf about her day or listening to the world pass around them.

"Maybe in an hour or so" Leah's face lost it's love struck look and turned to an unreadable mask. The unspoken meaning behind the statement passed between the two women. Jacob was on patrol and wasn't due to be done for another hour. Bella nodded and then looked around, taking in the kitchen, noticing a sledge hammer.

"What were you up to before I got here?"

Leah followed Bella's gaze and smiled. "Just sweeping up some gross dirt from scraping the popcorn ceiling off"

Bella then looked up before her gaze returned to the sledge hammer.

"What's that for?" She inquired, jerking her chin towards the hammer.

"Well I'm going to take out those upper cabinets and replace them…" Leah admired Bella's excited curiosity.

"When are you doing that? I want to help" Bella finally looked back at Leah, her eyes alight with excitement.

"We can do it now if you want" Leah shrugged as she set Bella down. "But I'm not sure if you'll want to work in those clothes…"

"That's okay I packed working clothes!" Bella grabbed her overnight bag and was already moving towards the bathroom. Leah just laughed and started moving her few belongings off the kitchen counter. When Bella returned Leah had a few pieces of plywood on top of the counter to protect it.

"I'm glad you came to help, I needed some muscle in here" Leah grinned at Bella.

"Eyes off, I have a girlfriend" Bella failed to suppress her grin as she grabbed the sledge hammer.

Bella had a little trouble lifting the large hammer but refused to admit it or ask for help. She let out an excited war cry as she brought down the first cabinet. Within fifteen minutes Bella had all the upper cabinets in pieces all over the kitchen. She was breathing heavily and sweating but she gave Leah a huge grin.

"Pretty impressive, you're hired" Leah smiled, taking in every inch of her girlfriend.

Bella posed with the sledgehammer and flexed, quite proud of herself. Leah admired Bella as she posed and moved closer, so their chests were almost touching. Leah heard a small hitch in Bella's breathing before she set the sledgehammer down.

"And h-how do you plan on paying?" Bella tried to sound sexy but found it difficult to keep her composure under Leah's lust filled gaze.

"Well." Leah took the bottom of Bella's shirt in her hands. "I have a couple different forms of payment" she slowly removed Bella's sweaty shirt and tossed onto the small kitchen table. "It just depends on what you prefer"

Bella swallowed hard. She had wanted Leah since before they had started dating. Even if she didn't acknowledge it at the time. And now here Leah was, getting Bella all worked up when she was all gross.

"I uh-" Bella grabbed Leah's shirt and pulled it off, desperately, before closing the space between them and crushing her lips to Leah's. Leah groaned and it sent a jolt low in Bella's stomach. Leah's hands quickly found the button of Bella's jeans and undid them before slowly sliding them off Bella's hips. Bella wiggled out of her jeans and kicked them off. At the anticipation Bella felt another jolt travel low into her sex, igniting a small fire there. Leah growled picking up the scent of Bella's arousal and picked her up, pushing Bella's back against the kitchen wall. Bella moaned, biting down on Leah's lower lip. She fumbled with the clasp of Leah's bra before finally undoing it, she gave a triumphant squeeze of her legs, around Leah's waist. Leah broke from the kiss, to Bella's groaning protest. Leah smirked at her and shrugged out of her bra straps, letting go of Bella just long enough to remove it fully. Bella took her time sweeping her eyes over Leah's now bare chest, her lower lip pulling in between her teeth. Leah's smirk wavered slightly as her eyes traveled over Bella, still in her bra. Leah leaned in and began kissing and nibbling Bella's neck as she worked at quickly undoing her bra. Bella was glad to be rid of her bra and helped remove it from between them, hastily. Leah chuckled lightly and moved back to Bella's lips. Bella greedily attacked Leah's mouth. Bella could feel Leah shifting as she removed her own pants and kicked them to some random corner of the kitchen. Bella, now aware that both of them were only in their underwear gripped Leah tightly, pushing their bare chests together. Both let out their own soft moans at the feeling before Leah removed Bella from against the wall. She broke their kiss as she set Bella down on the kitchen table, kissing down her neck then moving along her collar bone. Bella sighed, enjoying the feeling of the delicate kisses, and ran her fingers through Leah's hair. Leah moved her kisses lower and took one of Bella's nipples in her mouth, gently circling it with her tongue. Bella's breath caught in her throat and she gripped Leah's hair, hard. Leah smirked to herself and continued her path down Bella's stomach, pausing at the waist of Bella's panties. Bella squirmed, impatiently.

"God.." she groaned as Leah kissed her inner thigh, careful not to get too close to where Bella wanted her most.

"Hmmm?" Leah asked dripping with mock innocence.

"You're such-" Bella's sentence cut short as Leah grabbed her underwear in her teeth. She looked up to make sure Bella was okay with where this was going. Bella's eyes were closed and she squirmed, taking the other side of her underwear in her hand and pushing it down hastily. Leah released the underwear and moved her mouth close to Bella's core. She gently brushed her lips across the top and Bella rocked her hips slightly.

"Leah" she moaned, slightly exasperated. Leah felt her own arousal rise as her girlfriend moaned her name. "You're such a tease" Bella groaned as she ran her hand through Leah's hair again. Leah smirked to herself again and gingerly licked Bella's clit. Her hips rocked against Leah's face and Bella's hands firmly rooted themselves in her hair. Leah was getting more turned on by every moan and hip movement Bella made. Leah began to touch her own clit as she buried her tounge inside Bella. She moaned against Bella, sending vibrations into her clit, just from the taste of her.

"Fuck!" Bella gasped, she opened her eyes and looked down at Leah, realizing she was touching herself. Another jolt of arousal shot through Bella.

"Oh fuck, Leah" she groaned as her head fell back, her eyes closing again.

Leah moaned against her again, loving the way Bella said her name. Bella's hands tightened in her hair even more and her hips rocked faster.

"Leah…" Bella was having trouble composing a proper sentence. "I'm going-" Leah began licking her clit again and Bella cut herself off with a loud moan. Leah could feel herself getting close to her climax and started licking Bella faster, losing herself in Bella's pleasure. Leah started moaning louder against Bella, causing the other women's leg to start shaking. Bella cried out as her entire body tensed and began to shake. Leah couldn't contain her excitement and began shaking as she reached her climax with Bella.

Bella slowly released Leah's hair and let her body relax with a content sigh. She watched as Leah stood, her signature smirk plastered across her face causing Bella to blush fiercely. Leah smiled and pulled Bella into a hug, kissing her passionately. Bella sighed, happily and wrapped her arms around Leah's neck, deepening the kiss. Leah broke the kiss and smirked at Bella.

"How about a shower?"

"That sounds like a great idea" Bella laughed lightly, even more sweaty now than she had been before. Bella looked in the direction of the bathroom, wondering if they'd both be able to fit in the shower.

Leah laughed and lifted Bella, like she normally did and out of habit Bella wrapped her legs around Leah's waist. Now that both women were naked Bella's sex pressed against Leah's, her cum now rubbing off on Leah. Bella blushed and looked from the bathroom back at Leah. Leah met her gaze with lust and kissed her more fiercely than before. Bella could feel herself getting horny all over again. Her nipples stood at attention and she began to grind her hips against Leah's, her cum making her slide effortlessly. Leah growled, seductively and started moving them into the bathroom. Once in the bathroom Leah pinned Bella against the wall of the shower and turned the water on. Leah began to grind her hips against Bella, roughly, causing her to cry out, breaking their kiss. Bella was already so close to getting off again but she didn't want it to end so quickly. She also wanted to make sure she returned the favour and pleasured Leah. Bella grabbed Leah's breasts in each hand, trusting Leah to continue to support her against the wall, and began to pinch her nipples. Leah growled and tightened her hold on Bella, almost painfully.

"Fuck Bella" Leah managed between clenched teeth. Bella could tell the other woman was holding something back from her. Bella didn't want her to hold back, she wanted Leah to feel as good as she had.

"More Leah" she moaned as she spread their lips more so their clits would touch.

"Fuck I can't" Leah groaned as she made to pull away.

"Whatever it is I want you to" Bella wanted all of Leah. She didn't know what Leah was talking about and she didn't care.

Leah let out a growl that was more animalistic than human and bit down on Bella's shoulder, hard, right as she began to shake and grind against Bella hard and fast. Bella cried out in simultaneous pain and ecstasy as she came, again.

After they came down from their orgasms Leah looked at Bella sadly.

"God Bella, I'm so sorry." She shook her head as she hung it in shame.

"For what?" Bella demanded, almost offended that Leah would be ashamed by anything they just did.

"For your shoulder!" Leah looked up, momentarily astounded then angry.

Bella looked down to where Leah bit her and could see an ugly bruise was already starting to form. In the middle blood was mixing with the water from the running shower, and rolling down her arm. She looked back at Leah who was watching her with deep worry lines across her forehead.

"I'm not sorry" Bella stated. She was pretty frightened by the sight of the injury but it didn't hurt that much. Bella was such a klutz that she had felt much worse.

Leah kept apologizing as they stepped out of the shower. Both having given up on the prospect of properly washing. Leah found a first aid kit that she explained she brought here because she knew Bella was going to get hurt doing one thing or another. And quickly covered the bruising skin under a gauze.

"It's really fine" Bella tried yet again to put Leah's mind at ease as they cuddled naked in the master bedroom. The bedroom wasn't much yet, just a mattress on the floor and Leah's laptop on a kitchen chair, streaming Netflix.

"I knew I shouldn't have done it, I should have had better control of myself"

"You mean you specifically wanted to bite my shoulder?" Bella was confused now, she thought Leah had bitten her in the heat of the moment.

"Yes but-well no" Leah sighed, paused for a moment to gather her thoughts then continued "I didn't want to bite your shoulder specifically but my wolf wanted to mark you" she looked at Bella to ensure she was following so far. "We mark our imprints as ours with a bite...well we have the urge to some of us can control ourselves to save our imprint the pain…" Leah's face twisted into one of anguish and Bella rolled on top of her, kissing her gently.

"So you marked me? How?" Bella asked, curious and flattered.

"I mean that bite wasn't too bad and it was only one but it's going to scar. My teeth are meant for killing leaches and whatever 'poison' I have in my saliva that kills leaches, scars on humans" She looked into Bella's eyes, apologetically.

"So you're saying I have this super personalized scar that brands me as your girlfriend?" Bella asked, smiling happily as she traced her finger along Leah's lips.

"I mean yeah I guess that's a good way of putting it. My scent will be stuck on you, more than it is when you hang out with me. It tells leaches not to fuck with you" she smiled weakly. "And other wolves…" she trailed off her weak smile completely disappeared.

"Well I think it's kind of romantic" Bella stated which plucked Leah out of her own thoughts.

"You are a strange one" Leah couldn't help but laugh at how absurd she thought Bella was being.

"Yeah yeah" Bella rolled partially off of Leah so she could watch the movie that was playing but keep her head on her base chest.

"Next time ask me which shoulder I want though. My bite mark scars are on the same side it's just super uneven" Bella played at being upset.

Leah couldn't help laugh at Bella and wondered at her ability to turn anything around like that.
