Thanks for the mound of reviews! Sorry this took so long to get to you guys, you mean the world to me. I just had a rough week, the flu and getting my wisdom teeth out, I was a girl in humongous amounts of pain!

Mystery: Edward, can you put your hand on my face?

Edward: Why

Mystery: You're like a big icepack

Chapter Five: Little Lover's So Polite

"Edward are you serious?" I gasped, leaning out of my bedroom window.

After our date Edward and I almost spent every moment together. He had a habit of sneaking onto the reservation at night and we would… entertain ourselves.

Edward placed his hands on his hips, "Jacob I won't wait here all night. Are you coming or not?"

Edward was trying to persuade me to sneak out with him. I was having a moral dilemma. I wanted to go with Edward, God I so did, but I didn't want Sam and the pack figuring out where I was. I'd already been shirking my patrol responsibilities and my "sore throat I'm contagious" excuse was starting to get old.

"Er… okay I'm coming." I said, jumping out my window.

Edward immediately scooped me off my feet into a hug. I gasped, he was squeezing the life outta me,

"Ed…ward… dying… here."

"Sorry." He said, letting me go.

"Miss me?" I said playfully.

Edward grinned, "Not really."

I punched him, "Oh now you've got jokes?"

That's why I liked going out with Edward. Never mind he was smoking hot, he also understood me.

"Where to?" Edward said as I climbed onto his back.

I thought for a moment, "The cliffs." It was my favorite thinking spot and I really wanted to share it with Edward. He smiled and took off running,

"As you wish."

Oh yeah, I was in heaven. Edward was holding me close and rubbing that sensitive spot on my scalp that made me shiver with delight. There was no talking as we lay together; there didn't need to be. We just needed one another. Only the sound of the waves colliding with the jagged rocks of the cliff permeated the air. I drifted off into a deep sleep, not caring about anything in the world but my imprint.

"Jacob? Jacob wake up."

"Huh?" I yawned loudly, wiping the drool I knew I'd collected on my chin.

Edward was staring at me, "Time to wake up."

I buried myself farther into his chest; the cold didn't bother me at all, "Seriously? I just fell asleep."

He smiled, "No you haven't, sleepy wolf, you've been sleeping for hours."

Hours?!

"Shit." I said under my breath, "Sam…"

Edward tensed up at the sound of my pack leader's name, "What about him?"

I stood up and stretched, "We had a pack meeting tonight and I totally blew him off. He's gonna fucking skin me."

Edward stood behind me, "I won't let him have a go at you, Jacob."

"No, no." I said, "Just take me back and I'll deal with it."

Okay, okay so I didn't deal with it. I just made up another excuse and got my leg broken for the trouble. Sam really needs to watch his temper. That crazy mofo almost ripped my leg off!

"I'll be walking with a fuckin limp for days." I grumbled as I woke up the next morning. It was Saturday, my goof-off day. Throwing on some jeans and a black tee shirt I ran downstairs only to find my dad staring at me.

I shook it off, "Yea, dad I'm going out for awhile."

"Where?"

Wait? What? Since when did he care where I went?

"Um town, I just wanna hang out."

"With who?"

Now I was getting pissed off, "Jesus dad, what's with the third degree?"

Dad sighed, "I'm just worried Jake. I mean, you're gone all the time and ignoring the pack-"

"Wait, wait, back up," I said, "Who said I was ignoring the pack?"

"It's not hard to tell Jacob." Dad said, "Besides, Sam was by here yesterday after you two fought. He wanted to apologize."

'Well that prick can go fuck himself.' Damon growled.

"Well, tell him apology not accepted." I almost barked as I grabbed my coat and stalked out the door. I could still here Dad calling after me to come back but I really didn't care about that. I just needed to get away. I didn't even make it five feet before I morphed.

'Fuck, I totally loved that jacket'

Damon smirked, 'I'm sure Edward will buy you another.'

By the time I realized I was running to the Cullen's I also realized I was being followed. So Sam really didn't trust me. That guy needed to re-evaluate his priorities. As I skidded into a small gorge I saw the other wolf try to hide itself behind a large evergreen tree. I immediately knew by the stupidity of the action that Seth was following me.

'Seth, I know it's you.' I sighed, sitting on my haunches.

Seth peeked around the tree comically, 'Jake? Oh please don't be mad at me, please don't be mad.'

'I couldn't be mad at you.' I lied. I knew Sam sent him to spy into my personal life, for that I was pissed as hell, 'Just get out here and we can talk.'

'Um… okay.'

Seth was just a puppy, and also my friend, so I didn't want to give him a hard time. Don't shoot the messenger, remember? Seth skulked out from behind the tree, his tail and head drooping in submission. He sat before me; shame was wafting from him in waves.

'Seth I told you I'm not mad.' I said. I was about to continue but was cut short when I smelled a familiar sweet scent on the breeze. Oh shit. I knew Seth could feel it too. The kid might've been dense but he wasn't brain dead. Seth was pretty accepting of everyone and was willing to potential change. Maybe things wouldn't be so bad with him knowing my secret.

'Cullens?' he said, going into a defensive stance.

Alice and Edward came running from the cover of the trees. I looked up in time to see Alice launching herself at me, giggling and laughing. I sighed; this was our ritual at every meeting. She would hug me like a stuffed plushie and tell me what a good boy I was and I would play along like I liked it. But I totally didn't. What can I say? Alice's giggly girl nature was contagious. Edward stopped at the foot of the hill, knowing instantly that Seth was with me. I could tell he was warning Alice but it was already too late.

"Hey good boy!" Alice cooed, scratching my belly. I'm not ashamed to admit it, it felt sooooo damn good.

Seth was staring at me, shock coloring his wolf features, 'Um Jake… this is weird.'

'Well it's about to get weird with a side of strange and an order of wrong.' Damon chuckled.

God, I had to get him out of my head.

When Alice finally let me go Edward was beside her, resign was clearly written on his face. I stared at him. Even when he was mad he was gorgeous. I felt my stomach churn and the familiar manlyflies (yes manlyflies, dudes don't get butterflies) start to flutter up my throat and into my brain.

'Jake, what's with you?' Seth asked, sniffing me, 'You smell like you're… turned on.'

Edward's lips quirked into a satisfied smirk.

Oh shut up.

Seth tensed, 'Do you think I'm hot?!'

'Oh fuck no!' It came out as an accidental shout. I mean, Seth was like my younger brother, the last thing I wanted was for him to think I had… feelings for him.

'So her…'

I shook my head, my russet mane of hair falling over my shoulder, 'Seth, if I tell you-'

"Jacob you can't." Edward interjected.

'You're not the boss of me Edward!' I snapped.

Edward looked taken aback by the tone in my voice. I whined low in my throat, something we only did when submitting to an older pack member or a mate. Seth was mesmerized when I stalked over to Edward, draping my large canine head over his shoulder in a makeshift hug. I enjoyed the feeling of Edward rubbing my back and whispering comforting words of encouragement in my ear. When we separated I gave him a playful lick on the cheek.

'Seth… you can't tell anyone.' I pleaded, trying to nuzzle his shoulder in a friendly way.

But he backed up, shock and hurt were printed all over his face, 'But Jake… you and Edward…' his breath came out in needy whines, 'I don't… understand.'

I took a deep breath, 'Edward is my imprint.'

I expected him to freak out. I expected him to start bawling. Hell, I almost expected him to go running for Sam. What I didn't expect was for him to go straight for Edward's throat.

Ohhhh Seth, you're bad! I just loved Seth in the books so I had to get him in here somehow. Yes, he'll probably be a permanent fixture in the story. I hope you liked this chapter! Maybe 7 more reviews? I like to start small. C'mon, reviews are better than Edward rubbing your scalp!
