Leah texted Sam what they had discussed with Carlisle and Jasper so he could get the Uley ball rolling. There had to be something. She prayed there was something. Carlisle and Jasper met in Carlisle's study and began pouring through all the history texts Carlisle had accumulated over the years. She leaned against Jake's side as they watched Shelby and Seth interacting. Both scents were light and happy which made Leah smile. Seth was currently laying on his back in the grass with Shelby sitting on his abdomen, looking down at Seth and smiling softly. Seth's hands were gently rubbing up and down the banks of her calves. Shelby's hands were holding onto Seth's upper arms under his shirt sleeves, needing the physical skin on skin contact with him just as much as he did.

"Look how innocent they are. It's so pure." Jake commented softly. "I wish I could make Sue see this through my eyes the way I see it."

"Way more innocent than we ever were. Even in the beginning." Leah said, smiling. "But that's Seth. Everything he does is motivated by love and wanting happiness for everyone involved. This is what he and his Imprint need."

Jake and Leah chuckled when they saw and heard Seth laughing happily when Shelby burrowed half of her body beneath his t shirt.

Seth sat up and smiled when he heard Shelby grumble at being moved before pulling his shirt off and laying back down. He quickly grabbed Shelby's hands when she tried to do the same. She whined in confusion.

"But I want skin to skin, too." Shelby frowned.

"I know…but I don't want to share that view with anyone else who's watching. I think I'm gonna be a visually greedy Imprint." Seth mused. "Like, I wanna be the only guy to see all of you. Just like you'll be the only girl to see all of me."

"Many people have already seen all of me." Shelby frowned. "Does that mean…that you do not wish to have me as your Imprint? Because my nudity has been viewed by male and female?"

"No! Oh, God, nothing would ever make me not want you as my Imprint! You're so perfect…" Seth said dreamily. "I didn't want any of the pack to see you and think things…sexual things…about you. Because I wanna be the only of to eventually think those things. And maybe do them."

Shelby felt herself smiling shyly as she laid her head back on Seth's chest, her ear right above his heart. That action made Seth smile and he was so thankful for this moment with his Imprint. He only wished it could last.

"I have decided this is my most favorite sound." Shelby said. "I find myself breathing in sync to try and make my heartbeat match yours."

"Can I hear yours?" Seth asked.

"Yes. Switch places." Shelby said.

Shelby rolled off Seth's stomach and laid beside him, holding her hands to him. Seth smiled so happily and moved so his head was resting on her chest. He closed his eyes and listened contentedly.

"Nah. Yours is way better. It soothes me. It calms my wolf down. He knows you're here with me and that you're safe. Yeah, your heartbeat is definitely the best sound you ever exist." Seth said confidently.

"I suppose I will placate my Imprint." Shelby teased softly. "Yes, you're right."

Seth raised his head and grinned down at Shelby who was trying to hold back a smile.

"So that's how you're gonna play?" Seth asked.

Before Shelby could reply, Seth licked his lips to distract Shelby before he quickly grabbed her hands and held them down and using his legs to hold Shelby's down before he leaned in. Shelby raises an eyebrow before Seth began blowing wet raspberries on her face and chest, even nosing her shirt up and blowing bigger ones on her stomach. Shelby shrieked with laughter and tried wriggling away from Seth but was unsuccessful.

"Say I'm right and not because you're placating me!" Seth laughed before going back to blow more raspberries.

"You-You're right! You're right!" Shelby said between fits of laughter.

Seth smirked and let her go but sat on his knees on her stomach, not putting much weight on her. Shelby was breathless and her face wet and slobbery. She sat up as best she could and rubbed her face against Seth's chest. Seth laughed and pulled her into a hug. He was so, so thankful to the Spirits and his ancestors for giving him the ultimate Imprint. Shelby pulled back slightly and Seth looked over at her. Shelby smiled sweetly before leaning in and licking Seth's cheek before taking off at a run. Seth laughed and gave chase. Shelby headed for the woods and pulled her shirt over her head and tossed it a second before shifting into her wolf. Seth smiled and kicked his cutoff jeans to the side before shifting as well. He chased Shelby throughout the forest, getting close enough to nip her thigh several times before she took even faster. She headed for the backyard of the Cullen house once again. Seth whined and flopped on the ground to take a break. Shelby trotted over to him as he huffed. She stood over his laying form and began to lick his face, a sign of affection. He wished they could communicate in their wolf forms. Maybe Sam would get her in his pack soon, he hoped. Seth laid there, wanting to memorize everything about this evening. Shelby licked his muzzle before moving to his eyes and finally the top of his head. Seth opened his wolf eyes and watched as she walked over to her shirt before shifting and putting it on. She picked his shorts up ands brought them to his wolf.

Seth picked them up in his mouth before going to find a bush to shift behind when Shelby's voice stopped him.

"I thought I was to watch you?" Shelby frowned, sounding confused. "Is that not what you spoke of? That only we are to see the other without clothing?"

Seth dropped his pants and walked up to Shelby and grabbed the bottom of her shirt and pulled her to a bush before shifting in front of her and pulling his shorts on.

"My sister and Jake are still out here. And who knows how many of the Cullens are watching." Seth explained. "It wasn't that I didn't want you to see me. I didn't want them to see me as well. You're always welcome to watch me."

"I like seeing your body." Shelby commented as they headed to where Jake and Leah stood.

Seth stumbled only slightly.

"Seth, we gotta get going." Leah said softly.

Seth whimpered. He automatically reached for Shelby and pulled her to him. Shelby felt his anxiety and pain of having to leave her because she had the same anxiety and pain as well. Seth buried his head against her neck, breathing in deeply, his arms wrapped tightly around her. He really, really did not want to leave Shelby. Leaving her felt very wrong and made him want to throw up. Shelby threaded her fingers through his short hair and scratched at his scalp, feeling him sigh and relax slightly.

"I'll try to get something scheduled soon that'll let you spend more time with Shelby, but I have to talk to Sam and Carlisle and Jasper to get it to work it out." Jake promised.

Jake and Leah both felt heavy emotions rolling off of Seth. Jasper and Carlisle stepped outside with Jasper trying to manipulate their emotions into less painful ones.

"I will stand guard outside of your bedroom window so you can sleep safely." Shelby said. "I'll be unseen by your mother."

Seth pulled Shelby even tighter. Why, why, why did his mom behave this way around Shelby? She want cursed or a demon or anything bad! His mom didn't know her at all! Shelby was his personal angel. The best thing to ever happen to him. The most perfect Imprint and wolf to ever be created. Jake had to bodily pull Seth away from Shelby and drag him to the truck. Shelby watched, rubbing at the tightness in her chest. She wanted to run to him but knew it would only be problematic.

"You are welcome to stay here, Shelby." Carlisle offered.

"I am going to protect my Imprint while he sleeps. Thank you for your offer, Carlisle. And for allowing my Seth and I time to be together here." Shelby said.

"You two are always welcome here." Carlisle said. "Thank you. I must be going. I need to watch out for my Imprint so he can rest." Shelby said.

Shelby ran to the edge of the forest and tied the shirt to her leg before running back to La Push.

Jake and Leah corralled a sad Seth to his bedroom finally. He wanted so badly to go back for Shelby.

"If you'll be still and look at your phone...I took a bunch of pictures and videos that you should look at." Leah said quietly.

"You're not allowed to leave this house to go after Shelby." Jake ordered.

Seth whimpered but grabbed his phone from Leah and tried to content himself with looking at the photos and videos. He fell asleep to the picture of himself laying happily on Shelby's chest. That was HIS paradise.

Author's Note: I've been trying to update this for 2 days but mobile updating is sooo not my friend so I have to wait until I get a free moment to get on my desktop and do it that way. So this chapter is kinda sad but soo super fluffy and I love it and I think we all agree Seth and Shelby need it to. The next chapter will get to advancing the plot! For those asking, this will have some mature scenes but it won't be until the end or so of the story so hang tight!
