Paul's POV

I stared at Mercedes who face was blank. She was trying to hide her pain and hurt from me. I took her hand and absorbed her warmth.

"Mercedes," I said again, "What happened to your parents?" Mercedes looked away from me her black and blond hair shielding her face from view. I reached up and tucked her hair behind her ear. "Benz, you need to trust me," I sighed.

"I know," she looked over at me, her brown and green eye dancing. "Paul, you're a wolf and I'm a wolf." I raised an eyebrow. What a way to change topics!

"So your point, Benz?"

"Paul! Haven't you imprinted yet?" My throat dried and I ignored the question. Yes I had. On her none the less. But she thought I would leave her at any given moment! HA! Like that could a happen! Well, it would if she told me to leave and it made her happy… but I pray that day never comes.

I looked at the hand I still held smiled a bit and then dragged her down the stairs away from her brothers. She giggled as she missed a step and toppled into me. I rolled my eyes and continued running down the stairs.

"The living room's that way," she pointed to the left just seconds after our feet touched the landing at the bottom of the stairs.

"Benz," I smiled at her as she plopped onto the couch next to me. "You drive me up the wall you know?" she looked fearful and rather shocked. "What I wouldn't give to know what you were thinking!" I sighed, somewhat wishing that I had that filthy leech's (Edward) power/ ability/whatever you wanna call it, to read peoples thoughts.

"Why would you want to know what I'm thinking? I could be thinking horrible, mean and nasty thoughts about you and you're pack of dogs," I growled and barred my teeth at her playfully. Benz did the same, her lower lip trembling as she growled. I leaned forward and rested my forehead on hers. "Or," She finally said stopping the growling between us, "I could be thinking really sweet, but rather dirty thoughts about you…" she blushed.

I smirked and wrapped an arm around her waist, pulling her closer. Our foreheads still touching she whispered, "Paul, I never thought that it was me for one moment."

"Well believe it," I leaned and pressed my lips to her lips. Slow, soft. Not like me at all. I pulled back I looked over her head to see the twins sitting at the bottom of the stairs. "We have some company' I whispered.

Benz jumped up from the couch and glared at her brothers. "What are you doing down here! I thought you were supposed to be in bed, boys."

They gave her a toothy grin and Krys (I think) said, "So you are going to live happy ever after with him! Benz blushed and looked at me still sitting on her couch. I stood and held her shoulders. The smell of her vanilla and cinnamon washed over me.

"That depends on her." I said looking at the twins. "Now do what you're told," I paused, "Before that mean old nasty TICKLE MONSTER gets you!" I darted around Mercedes and towards Mitchie and Krys who both went flying up the stairs shrieking and trying to climb over one another before I got to them.

They were in their room before I'd even finished climbing the stairs. "Good night." I hollered. Benz came up the stairs after me and lead me to her room and shut the door behind her.

"Benz, I love you."

"I love you too Paul, You said you wanted to know what happened to my parents. They left me herewith the boys because when I phased….they thought I was a monster." She started to shake really hard. Fearing that she would phase right there, I stood and wrapped my arms around her frame holding her tight.

"You were afraid I'd leave you?"

"Well… DUH Paul! I hadn't thought that you would have imprinted on me. I know I imprinted on you and when that stupid boy, Jake started flirting with me I flat out yelled at him. I really thought that you would leave me!"

"Mercedes I will never ever ever leave you as long as you want me here by your side, in my arms, or near me, I will be there…. Here." I kissed her forehead and smiled at her.

She grinned, "Always." She kissed me rough, hard, with way I liked. Her teeth scraped on my lower lip. Opening my mouth, I tangled and fought her from total dominance. Neither of us would give it up, we ended up pulling apart.

"Always, Paul. I always want you with me."

THE END!
