Epiphany

Chapter Three

Bella's POV

I felt so much better once I was back in Washington, seeing Charlie waiting at the airport for me. Edward had told me that he would catch a flight to Alska, since the family was spendin time with the Denali's this week.

I promised to csll him in a few days when I had figured everything out in my head. I was so confused.

I practically ran at Charlie, wrapping my arms around his chest. He wasn't even close to as warm as Jake, but his hugs were always comforting.

"Hey, kiddo." I smiled to myself anf released the hug.

"Hi, Dad. Thanks for picking me up." He nodded proudly and with that we walked out to the cruiser It was quiet, long drive back to Forks. I wasn't gone for long, but it felt like forever since I had been back.

As soon as we got to the house, I sat my bag on the floor, walking to the living room.

"What happened?" I knew Charlie would want answers. I knew it would come. I just didn't expect it to come so soon.

"I guess I got scared." He sighed, but I didn't hear movement.

"Of what?" I took in a deep breath and spoke the truth.

"Making the biggest mistake of my life." He walked over and gave me a reassuring hug.

"It's okay, kiddo." I nodded and returned the hug.

"I know it is. I just have to have time to think. Edward went to Alaska with the rest of his family so I can have some time to myself, to get my priorities straight." He nodded and pulled back.

"That's fine, Bells. He told me that there was someone close that you would want to see when you got back?" A smile spread across my face as I thought of Jake and how close he was.

"Yeah. I need to go see Jake, Dad. When he was at the wedding, he got really upset over some things that I said to him and I really need to apologize to him. He is my best friend." He nodded. "I'm gonna call a cab." Another nod came and I grabbed the house phone, calling a cab.

After waiting for thirty minutes, the taxi arrived and drove me to the small red house. Just being close to it made it easier to breath. I paid the cab driver and knocked lightly on the front door. It only took a few minutes before Billy answered with a bright smile.

"Hello, Bella." Igave him a small smile in return.

"Is he in?" He nodded and opened the door, moving aside. I knew where Jake would be. It was where he always was.

His room.

"Thanks, Billy." He nodded and I slowly walked to Jake's room. The door was slightly ajar and I was hesitant to open it, but summed up the energy to do so.

It was like deja vu.

There he slept, an arm covering his eyeswhile he wore no shirt and had on a pair of long jeans. His sheet was spread across the bed while he lightly snored. I couldn't help the smile that came from seeing his peaceful state.

I walked over and sat on the edge of the bed, placing my hand on his chest. I loved his heat. He shivered for a moment and then a light hum came from his beautiful lips.

"Jake." It was a light whisper and I figured it would enough to wake him. I was wrong. He was passed the fuck out. I reached up and caressed my fingertips down his cheek, getting a grumble.

"Bells." I smiled again and tried waking him again.

"Jake." His eyes squinted shut and then they opened, a small smile starting to form.

"Hey, Bells." I blushed and put my hand back on his chest.

"Hey. Sorry that I woke you up." He shook his head lightly, chuckling.

"It's cool. I was just dreaming." I bit my lip and lightly rubbed his chest.

"Good dream?" He smiled brighter.

"Very good." I could only image how red I was, but I thought about a tomato.

"What was it about?" He reached up and pushed a strand of hair out of my face.

"You were the dream." I giggled gently and moved a little closer. I lightly clicked my tongue before speaking.

"Well, as you can see, reality is much better than the dream world. I guess your dream came true?" He had a thoughtful express as his hand rested on my hip opposite of him.

"Not completely. If it had, you would be in this bed with me doing very naughty things." My mouth was a-gasp and I smacked his chest, getting a laugh from him.

"Jake!" He pulled me down to the bed and wrapped his arms around me.

"You asked. Now, shush. You woke me up from a very good dream." I giggled and cuddled into his soft, warm chest, missing his sweet embrace.

"I missed you, Jake." He gently kissed my cheek, lovingly stroking his hand up and down my back.

"I know, honey. I missed you, too. Do you want to talk about whatever upset you and made you come back?" I wrapped my arms around his neck and held myself as close to his warmth as I could get.

"I had an epiphany." His breathing evened out while I kissed his neck, loving the taste of his skin.

"About what? Your marriage, your life, what?" I pulled back enough to see the side of his face and ran my fingers along the other side of his face, him turning to look down at me.

"You." He looked very confused and I had a tear fall. "I realized that if I didn't do something that I would lose you forever." Which wasn't a lie. I was too chicken shit to tell him the truth, which was killing me.

"You could never lose me, Bells. I'm always here for you. No matter what." My eyes flickered down to his lips and he noticed, his breathing getting heavier.

"That's not true, Jake. I had to come back before I made the biggest mistake of my life." There it is. His eyes suddenly turned full of lustas his hands moved from my back down to my bottom.

"What would that have been?" I knew my stare had to be reflecting his. I mean, look at Jake. He is a tall, dark, and handsome man with sex radiating from him.

"Having sex with my husband." His lips finally crashed to mine and I held his face, feeling his body press against mine. "Oh, Jake." He lightly growled, turning to where I was on my back him clinched between my thighs.

His hand gently glided along my stomach, up my shirt, and cupped my breast, massaging it perfectly.

"Are you sure about this?" I nodded and gripped both of my hands in his hair, holding his face to mine.

"Yes, Jake. I love you." He growled again, kissing me harder. His hips pressed into mine, creating friction by moving them.

"I love you, too." His lips moved to my neck as he started to unbutton my top, muttering in my ear 'fuck it'. He forced it off, revealing my black with baby pink pokka dotted bra. I sat up and continued to kiss him hungrily on the lips.

"Take off your pants, Jake." He growled and rubbed his hand between my legs, the only thing seperating him from my sensitive parts was my panties.

"Take off your panties and I will." He didn't get any resisstance from me. I swiftly pushed down my matching panties. His eyes darked as he stood on his knee, starting to undo his pants. I laid back on the bed and hiked up my skirt, spreading my legs for him to see me. I wasn't sure if he would like it, but his face prove that it turned him on.

I pushed down my stockings and kicked off my shoes, taking the hoseriery with them.

As soon as his bottoms were history, he moved between my leg and we started to kiss again, moaning loudly into each others lips.

"You didn't have to take those off. I liked them." I moaned and stroked his long shaft, rubbing my thumb over his mushroom top.

"Get over it. I want you now." He nodded and pushed my hand away, rubbing my clitirus with his tip. Now, the teasing had turned from pleasurable to annoying. "Jake, stop teasing me." His tongue glided around mine as he pressed his tip to my center, creating a little pressure. "Do it, Jake. You know I love you, baby." Then, his entire length was buried inside of me.

Just as suddenly as he went in is how suddenly the pain came. It wasn't horrible pain, but still pain. After a few minutes, it faded and I relaxed. With my relaxed state, he took complete control. He sat up, still inside of me, and propped himself up. He extracted most of his length and thrusted it back in, causing me to arch.

Our love sounds filled the room unstoppably. His movements were very hard and animalistic, but still soft and loving. It was the most unbeieveable experience of my life, up until then at least.

Once we both were spent, I laid sprawled on his chest, attempting to control my breathing the best that I could. His hands were stroking up and down my back. He was so perfect when we made love.

Bells?" I looked up at him and gave him a smile. I was perfectly happily until he said that one thing that shattered my heart and soul worse than when Edward left all alone in the cold, wet forest outside my house.

A/N: Ooooh! What could it be? Why does Jake have to do something wrong right after they do something so perfect and beautiful as making love? Please, tell me your ideas and thoughts. I can see so many people love this story by the story alerts and favorited's, but there are still not many reviews. We are getting up there though.

Turns out, I may not have to be off for a few days. I probably won't be able to update on the weekends because those are usually hectic for me and my family.
