Hmm… does anyone smell lemons? I think I may smell a little lemony goodness…
Still not SM.
Chapter 12 – Magic
Two days until the dance and Jacob still hadn't kissed me. Three weeks since we'd declared our love and not even a peck. I was completely disappointed and beginning to get hurt. There had been so many times that I was positive he was about to kiss me and then, WHAM! Nothing.
"What if he doesn't want to kiss me?" Jon looked at me like I was an idiot and Willa raised an eyebrow at my blurted question. "Are you kidding me Ren? I bet every straight guy here wants to kiss you, hell… I bet even some of the gay guys here wouldn't mind kissing you, myself included." Jon winked. That little comment might have had me worried if I didn't already know Jon had a serious boyfriend in Seattle. "Come on Rennie, be real. I swear the looks Jakey gives you sometimes should burn you to a crisp, they're just that hot" Willa said. He looked at me like that? I'd never noticed. "I've been waiting 3 weeks for a kiss you guys. I keep thinking that maybe… and then I get the dreaded kiss on the cheek, or even the grandma kiss on the forehead." I thunked my head down onto the table. "What am I supposed to doooo?" I moaned.
I shot my head back up; I'd had the perfect idea. "Willa, you can teach me!" She raised her hands in front of her, making an 'X' with her fingers. "Whoa there Hun, as much as I love you, I am 100% strictly dickly babe." I glared at her as she grinned. "You know what I mean Willa… teach me how to get him to kiss me. Momma's already said I could spend the weekend with him after the dance, it'll be the perfect opportunity to test everything!" She thought it over a minute; I could see the wheels in her mind turning. "You get Jakey-poo to let Seth and I stay the weekend too, and you've got yourself a deal." It seemed like a fair trade to me, with conditions that is. "Fine. Deal. But you two doing anything in my bed is against the rules, got it?" "Darling, I'm pretty sure Willa doesn't need a bed to get things done." Jon said laughing. Willa just smiled slyly. Huh? How…? What?! I was slightly disturbed, yet intrigued at the same time.
I decided I really didn't want to know. "Spare me the details and just tell me how to get him to kiss me already!" They started blurting instructions immediately.
"Gloss your lips, they'll look plumper and more kissable."
"Bite your bottom lip lightly occasionally; it will draw his attention to your mouth."
" When you two are talking, look at his mouth a lot… like it's distracting you."
"Touch him, little lingering touches here and there, especially right below his navel" Jon pointed out the area on himself.
"Lean in closely and look up at him like you're hanging on his every word."
"Touch his face lightly like he's the most beautiful thing you've ever seen."
"The next time he looks like he's going to kiss you on your cheek, kiss his cheek first. Kiss right next to his mouth."
I could do this… touch + draw attention + pay attention= getting the kiss.
"Or you could just kiss him first. End all the worrying yourself."
I thought about my attempted seduction and how he'd pushed me away. "Nope, not an option. The last time I tried anything it ended with him pushing me away and Seth interrupting any further advances." Willa nearly choked on her chocolate milk. "What!? You've been holding out on us Rennie!" I shook my head and blushed. It was much too embarrassing to talk about. "I'm so asking Seth tonight when he comes over" Willa gushed. I tuned them out and thought of their instructions. Jacob was coming over tonight… I could start testing out the lessons a little early.

JACOBS POV
I watched as Ness bit her lip and ran the tip of her tiny little pink tongue lightly over where she'd just bitten. We were at the big house sitting on the couch talking about the dance and the weekend. Apparently Seth and Willow where now going to be joining us. She'd been doing most of the talking… She couldn't seem to keep her hands to herself tonight and it was distracting me mightily. Thank God Ed was at the cottage occupied with Bella, or else I'd be a dead man. "What does your dress look like?" she stared at my mouth again and leaned towards me a little. Her hand slid across my leg and settled on my upper thigh. I clenched my teeth to hold back a groan.
She turned putting her hands on my shoulders and shifted herself into my lap. I coughed pitifully trying to cover up the little moan that escaped my mouth. She brought her face towards mine like she was going to kiss me and I tensed in excitement, at the last minute she brought her face beside mine, our cheeks lightly touching and whispered "Alice said I can't tell you, it's a surprise." Her voice sounded husky and erotic when she whispered like that. Cars… engines… transmissions… She laid her head on my shoulder and lightly trailed her fingers up and down my bare chest. Brake pads… alternators… water pumps… "Oh, okay. Cool… a surprise." I said lamely. She sighed deeply exhaling her hot breath all over my sensitive neck and ear. Throttle cables… axles… condensers… She squirmed in my lap, snuggling closer to me, bringing her face to my neck. "I've seen what you are going to wear. You are going to look so handsome." Her lips brushed against my neck with each word she spoke setting the nerve endings on fire.
"It's a lovely evening, why don't you two go for a stroll" Jasper said from the doorway. Oh no! He could probably feel every single inappropriate feeling I've been having. He glared as if he were confirming my thoughts. I jumped up quickly holding Ness in my arms. "That sounds like a perfect idea." I said rushing around the coffee table and out the front door.
"Jacob… I'm pretty sure I can walk…" What? Oh crap. Flippin idiot! I had walked all the way down the drive leading to the big house with her still in my arms. I set her on her feet away from me and she still managed to drive me insane in the process. Her hands that had been on my shoulders trailed lightly down my chest and stomach as I set her down, leaving little ribbons of fire in their wake. I snatched away her hand trapping it in mine and started walking quickly, half dragging her behind me. "Jacob, this is hardly a strolling pace." I looked back at her. She was poking her bottom lip out in a pout; the moonlight reflecting off its moistness, making it shine. I stopped as if mesmerized, staring at her mouth. Kiss her Jake. Just do it.
She released my hand and stood beside me, wrapping an arm around my back and resting the other hand on the bare skin below my navel. I could feel my nether regions stirring at her touch, but was too enthralled by her to think of anything to prevent it. She looked up at me; her chin resting on my ribs. Like her lips; the moonlight was doing wonderful things to her big chocolate eyes, turning them into shining pools I yearned to drown in. "I love you Jacob" she whispered, her lips moving against my skin again. "I love you too Ness." Whoa… who's voice was that? I cleared my throat trying to lessen the deep huskiness I'd just heard come from my mouth. Her thumb started rubbing slowly back and forth under my navel. You are going to have to start wearing something besides sweatpants Jake. The thin material was doing nothing to hide the fact that all the blood in my body was slowly beginning to pool down there.
"Do you?" she whispered; her voice sounded low and sultry. That was hot…I had to touch her; the need to feel her warm skin under my hands pulsed through me. I leaned down and grabbed her hands; wrapping them around my neck, holding them there. Her face was so close to mine, her unique sunshine and peaches scent filled my senses like some sort of mind-numbing drug. Kiss her you fool. I ran my hands slowly down the length of her arms, down her sides to grip her tiny waist; my fingers digging gently into the bare skin under the hem of her t-shirt. I stood up straight lifting her with me, bringing her face level with mine, the length of her body pressed tightly against mine. "Do you?" she asked again; her eyes looking deep into mine.
She buried her fingers into the hair at the base of my skull, her nails lightly raking against my scalp. "So much" I groaned out. She wrapped her legs around my waist, locking them tightly behind me. Breathe Jake, breathe. She brought her cheek to mine, "Then show me" she whispered in my ear. A low guttural moan erupted from deep within me. Yea Jake, show her. My fingers convulsed against her waist. But you promised Ed…"I can't." She pressed her lips against my cheek and slowly rained little kisses along my jaw and down to my neck. Screw Ed. I ran my hands down her hips and gripped her thighs. She dragged her teeth against the sensitive spot just below my ear. "You can."
I was walking then; my feet carrying us into the woods as if they had a mind of their own. I pressed my face into her neck, inhaling her scent deeply. You should calm down Jake… Too much, too soon. Maybe just a little taste… I pressed my lips against the pulse in her neck then licked them. Her skin tasted just like it smelled, sunshine and peaches. More. I pressed hot open mouth kisses along her neck relishing in the flavor of her skin. I watched in amazement as her head fell back and a little throaty gasp came from her open mouth. Desire flowed through my system unchecked and I ran my hands down her thighs and filled my hands with the soft mounds of her ass.
She jumped and pressed herself tighter against me moaning lightly. I littered kisses against the rest of her neck she'd bared to me and nipped the edge of collarbone her v-neck t-shirt revealed. You shouldn't be doing this Jake. She started grinding her hips against my waist; I could feel the heat coming from between her legs burning into my stomach. I was shaking. You have to stop Jake… you're getting too out of control. I groaned pressing my face in the valley between her breasts. "Too much, too soon Ness… we can't…" She raked her fingernails against my scalp again and tugged my hair. Too soon… but damn it feels so good… "More" she said aloud, repeating my earlier thought. She brought her head down and trailed her tongue over my shoulder before nipping at my collarbone like I'd done to her. "More" she repeated. Ed's going to kill you. "Too soon" I mumbled against her chest.
She leaned back and pulled her shirt up and off, throwing it to the ground. I stared at the lacy black bra cupping her breasts and the creamy swells of flesh that showed above it. Oh. My. God. I backed her into a nearby tree, trapping her body against me. I searched her lust filled eyes before resting my forehead gently against hers. "You are so beautiful Renesmee… so wonderful… you deserve so much more than this…" I took my hands from her butt and gestured at the woods around us. The lust slowly drained from her eyes to be replaced by something unfamiliar to me. "It's too soon Ness…" I backed away from the tree and stood her on her feet, bending to retrieve her t-shirt. "It's late, you should get home" I handed her back her shirt and watched as she shook it out and put it back on.
******************
RENESMEE POV
"If you don't stop frowning I'm never going to get your make-up done Renesmee" Alice snapped. I'd been in a foul mood since my second failed attempt at seduction. "Sorry" I mumbled and fixed my face into a deadpan mask. I felt like I'd been sitting in this stupid chair for hours now. Rosalie had taken forever styling my hair and it didn't seem like Alice was moving any faster with the make-up. "Oh Rennie! You look amazing!" I heard Willa squeal and opened my eyes just to slam them shut quickly; I'd barely avoided being stabbed by the liner pencil Alice was wielding. "Willa hush, you're distracting her. Let me finish." I felt her apply more stuff to my eyes, then a fluffy brush smooth itself over my face and neck. "Ok, done."
I opened my eyes and looked at Willa. She looked amazing, as usual. The dress she'd gotten during our shopping trip was exactly her style. It was a halter style dress. Black with silver crystal polka-dots throughout the full heavily pleated skirt, the same crystals made a scalloped pattern along the bottom hem. They also went up the sides of the corset style top and made a similar pattern along the bust. She'd paired it with little black and white kitten heels, a black and white bow in her hair, and a large chunky black bracelet. I studied her hair trying to figure out what was unusual about it… She'd styled it the same way she usually does; the heavy side-swept bangs and lots of volume to the sides and back… Her make-up was the usual heavily lined eyes with a glossed lip… So what's different?? "You took the colors out of your hair! And no glasses!" She grinned sheepishly. "Alice insisted I torture myself with contacts and said if my hair wasn't one solid color she would never take me shopping again."
"I smell the stench coming, you need to get dressed Nessie. The pup's are almost here." Rosalie interrupted, pulling me out of the chair. I took off the robe I had been wearing, wrapping my arms around my chest. Alice was forcing me to go braless and wear nothing more than a string down below so the dress would fit correctly and I was feeling a little weirded out by it. Rosalie bent and held open the dress so I could step into it. I did and she pulled it up and helped me slide my arms through the straps. Alice zipped the back quickly and was on her knees at my feet sliding them one at a time into the strappy heels she'd chosen. Rose clasped an intricately woven gold bangle on my wrist and slid some dangly gold and green earrings through the holes in my ears. They all 3 stood together surveying the handiwork, Rosalie raised a hand saying "One minute" and went through one of the drawers on the vanity. She came back with a shimmery gold rose hairpin and pinned it above my ear. "Perfect" they all said in unison.
I turned to see for myself in the mirror. My dress was dark emerald green; the crinkly material clung tightly to my body falling just below my knees. It had a thin matching silk ribbon high around the waist and along the heart shaped bust line. The straps where a gold and green woven material, almost matching the bangle around my wrist; it wrapped around the front of the dress under my breasts and up the sides of them and over my shoulders. It pushed my breasts up and out provocatively. My shoes were a green faux croc with gold buckles on the toes and a thin gold strap around the ankle. My hair was parted to the side in loose sexy curls with the rose pin holding back the opposite side behind my ear.
Alice had given me a lightly smoky eye and mauve colored lips. The whole effect was awesome. "Seriously, you two should go into business as stylists. This is amazing!" I said turning around grinning at them. I hugged them both lightly in thanks. Willa looped her arm through mine "Let's go get our men!" she rushed out of the room and down the stairs nearly dragging me in her rush to see them. They were in the kitchen with the rest of the family. Momma was standing in front of Jacob fussing with his hair so I couldn't see him. Seth rushed to Willa and wrapped his arms around her. He looked great. Alice had paired his jet black suit with a silver and black vest and silver tie atop a black dress shirt; it complimented Willa's dress perfectly, hell, they complimented each other perfectly. Momma finally finished mussing with Jacobs hair and stepped to the side.
Seth had nothing on Jacob. Momma'd styled his shaggy hair so that it sexily fell over his brow. The white of his dress shirt against the russet color of his skin had my stomach in knots. He wore a button down vest with a tie too; his a slightly darker shade of green than my dress, with creased black slacks. His tall muscular body filled out everything to perfection. He grinned and shrugged. "The jacket was too much for me, you don't mind do you?" I shook my head. "No… it's perfect." I took a step towards him. "Time for pictures!" Daddy yelled and proceeded to herd us out onto the front porch. We posed for pictures alone, with each other, just the guys, then the girls, and finally Daddy passed the camera to Alice so we could get a picture together with Momma.
When we were done they took turns hugging me looking as if they would be crying if they could. "You're all grown up" Momma sniffed. "My Renesmee…You've turned into such a beautiful woman." Daddy said; his voice full of emotion. "Ok, ok… enough you two or I'm gonna cry and ruin all this make-up Alice put on me." I hugged them both one more time and told them I loved them then walked down the steps to Jacob. He was looking at Daddy with a weird look on his face. I turned back to Daddy and saw him frown and nod. Weird… I wonder what that's all about.
We piled into the Rabbit and took off for the dance.

Ok, I hope this chapter made up a little for the last one. Oh, and just in case anyone wants to look, I made a photobucket with the clothes/make-up/hairstyles for the 4 of them. I know my description was lacking.
