Chapter 6

Paul woke up disoriented, and then the scent of Bella reminded him of where he was. He looked around and she wasn't there, the smell of food made his stomach growl. He stood up from the bed and picked up just his jeans, after yesterday night he didn't feel like dressing up, fuck it, she had seen him naked already.

When he opened the door he stood still when he saw that she was only wearing his t-shirt, it reached her mid-thigh. Mouthwatering was his first thought, and it wasn't about the food. She was cooking, listening to music and singing along. Paul didn't know if he wanted to run out of the door or to her, he gripped the doorpost and tried to calm his wild heart.

Why was she arousing this kind of reactions from him? Did he really have a chance to get out unscathed from their relationship?

His wolf growled and after a moment he stalked towards her, she turned in time to see him coming and to put down the spoon she was holding. Paul looked at her and then pulled her into him, his mouth found hers and they kissed heatedly. Paul took her into his arms and then turned and pushed her against the fridge, he quickly trailed his hands down her waist until he arrived at her ass, he grabbed it and pulled her up.

Slowly he lowered her onto him, and then stopped. He could feel every inch of her pressed against him, he was inside her and he felt complete. It was a strange feeling of exhilaration and fulfillment; she was kissing his neck, sucking it and trying to leave a mark. After a moment he felt her teeth breaking his skin and he moaned, loving the feeling of being bitten. He was getting lost into the intensity of the moment; both the wolf and the man were feeling her, savoring and enjoying being close to Bella.

Paul was pressing his body into hers, and his hands probably were causing bruises on her, the idea of marking her skin was arousing him even more. She was making little noises and moans that were driving him wild. He pushed in and out of her until he felt her tightening around him, with a final push he came too. Slowly his legs weakened and he lowered himself and her down on the ground.

"That was hot." She whispered.

Paul smirked. "You could say that Swan." She laughed softly and he moved away, standing up and pulling her up too." For a moment he forgot everything that was wrong with the situation and let himself enjoy her presence, basking in her scent.

Too soon he realized what had happened again, he couldn't really make sense of why he had behaved that way. "I need to get going."

She nodded, looking very understanding. "Have some breakfast first."

He hesitated, but then sat at the table. They ate in silence, Paul was torn because part of him wanted nothing but to slam her down on the table and fuck her again and the other half was scared shitless because to him it was too much like a relationship what was developing with her. Shaking his head he finished his meal and then thanked her, without promises or other words he left.

While driving back to his place, his mind was in conflict. The wolf was very satisfied but wanted more and the man felt that he had betrayed one of his pack brothers and was very ashamed.

...

The day passed by slowly, Paul arrived a little late at work but nobody minded, he started working trying to divert his mind from her but it was useless. There was just Bella in his mind; the scent of her was imprinted into his nostrils. A sigh escaped him when he was time to go to school, sitting in class he felt so different. Being physically with Bella had opened up again a wound he wanted to stay close, he had left La Push and didn't want to go back but at the same time she was the link to it and he craved her.

There was another problem as well, what was he going to do when he had to phase and confront Sam? What was there to say? He had fucked Jacob's Bella, didn't tell anyone that she was alive and lied to his Alpha. His punishment was going to be harsh, and what if Sam ordered him to go back? Could he leave her behind? Was he already too attached to her to be able to leave? He was confused and scared, was there anyone who could help him? Paul thought it over and then decided to make a phone call.

He got out of school and picked his mobile phone out of his pocket. Dialing the number was hard, but he needed to do it.

"Hello?" A gruff voice answered.

"Hey Jacob, it's Paul, how's going bro?" He asked.

"As usual Paul, why are you calling me?" Jacob said with a bit of impatience.

"I need an honest opinion and you're the best at that." He told him. "I met a girl, and one of my friends at work is in love with her. The problem is that she doesn't want to be with him for many complicated reasons... but she's willing to be with me. Now what do I do? I like her but at the same time I feel like shit for going behind my friend's back."

Jacob remained silent for a moment and then said, "If you really really really like her then go for it, she chose not to be with him so he has to get over it. But if it's just a fleeting thing, then the friendship is more important."

"Fuck Jake! I think I'm too drawn to her to step back, my wolf likes her and that has never happened before." Paul said passing a hand nervously through his short hair.

"Well, this is the first time I hear you so involved. If I was your friend and you could make her happy, I would feel better knowing that the girl I liked was with you and that you were taking care of her. Though why a girl would pick you it's beyond my understanding." Jacob told him jokingly and Paul felt a little bit better but not much. He was sure that if Jacob knew who they were talking about he wouldn't be so accepting.

"Thank you, and Jake... I hope you'll eventually feel better about..." Paul didn't end the phrase; they both knew what wasn't said.

"I'm never going to feel better." Jacob replied and hung up.

Paul shook his head, he knew the feeling well, Bella was like venom spreading slowly through his bloodstream and ensnaring him. He craved her body, her scent, he wanted to fight, fuck and do so much more with her. Paul had never taken the time to date women, the imprint and his personality had always prevented him from deepening any relationship. Sex with Bella had been so different from any experience he had ever had before. When he realized where he was, he swore. His bike was parked near Bella's house.

With a sigh he got to the door and he heard some rustle inside. He knocked and Bella opened the door. Her eyes were wide and she looked agitated. "What's wrong Swan?" He asked.

"Ed-Edward is suspecting that I haven't really died and he's trying to get into Rosalie's mind to find out where I'm hiding. I need to leave." She whispered and then got inside her house and he noticed that she was packing all her stuff.

"Are you fucking leaving?" He growled.

She nodded, still bustling around her place. "I can't risk for him to get my address, Rosalie almost revealed him my location when she sent me the note warning me. I can't be here if he comes, I don't want to see him ever again."

Paul was watching her, and his wolf was not pleased about this development, his inner animal wanted her near him. "Move into my flat." He blurted out and then was shocked about his words.

Bella looked at him like he was crazy. "I need to leave this place Paul; a few kilometers won't help me. People will see me and he might see me into anyone's mind."

Paul's mind was working frantically, trying to find a solution. "Move with me for a few weeks, I need to finish my business course and then we can leave together."

"Why are you doing this Paul? You don't even like me." She said seriously.

He agreed with her, but at the same time he knew that what there was between them was more than skin-deep. "My wolf wants to go with you, and I don't particularly like this place. We can sell your car and my bike and buy a truck, travelling the US has always intrigued me. I have no ties anywhere." She bit her lip, and Paul was studying her. "What's scaring you?"

"You." She answered honestly. "I don't know what you really think or why are you behaving like this."

"Fuck Bella! Does it really matter? I'm willing to come along. I haven't asked you to marry me, I get to fuck you whenever I want and at the same time I'll be looking for a place to stay. Nothing more, nothing less. Eventually we'll part ways, but I'm not ready right now, and I'm selfish as is my wolf." Paul told her.

Bella nodded again. She looked down and then up at him. "Okay." She whispered. "Okay… I'll stay with you for a while, but if I want to leave you'll let me go."

"Of course." He growled, knowing full well that he probably wouldn't. Fuck if he wasn't putting himself into a shitty situation once again! But he loved taking risks, so he was in for this weird new adventure.
