You guys are amazing! Thank you so much for the awesome reviews and alerts. I just wanted to remind everyone that this story is going to be relatively short. Only 1 (maybe 2) more chapter after this one. I already have so many ideas for another Jacob & Bella fic, it's so exciting! Anyway… This chapter includes another lemon. This one is a little more graphic than the 2 from Chapter 2, I think. I included a warning once again, just in case there is someone who would like to skip it! Again, thank you so much for taking the time to read and review this story. Enjoy!
Chapter 3
I was trying to kick Jacob out the day they returned. I promised Leah I would go shopping with her and she was supposed to be at my house to pick me up in 30 minutes. I still needed to shower and get ready, but Jacob was hard to get rid of. Not that I was trying very hard. He was so hard to resist, that stupid sexy werewolf.
Every chance he got he was kissing me, and because I was such a sucker, I melted every time I felt his lips on me. He knew exactly what spot on my neck to kiss to make my knees weak.
Somehow I'd managed to get us outside but he still would not give up. He had me up against my closed front door, kissing along my jaw, gently nibbling on my exposed skin. I was giggling and swatting him away telling him he needed to get going but he stayed put, his lips never stopped moving against my skin.
"Babe, I have to get ready. If I'm not ready when Leah gets here she's going to kill me,"
"I don't wanna." Jake whined, kissing along my jaw to my ear. I gasped when he gently tugged on my earlobe with his teeth. His fingers were lightly caressing the exposed skin of my lower back.
"I'll see you tonight, I promise." Even I sounded pathetic to myself. I loved the way his lips felt on me, and my resolve was weak. You try pushing away your extremely gorgeous boyfriend and tell me how easy it is.
He pulled away to stare into my eyes. My heart was racing, I was sure he could hear it. "Okay fine. I'll see you in a few hours." And with that he turned and walked toward the rabbit parked a few feet away.
I stood there for a second, shocked. What just happened?
"Jacob Black!"
He turned to me, a big smile on his face. That little punk! He thought this was funny. I'll show him funny.
"Is that any way to say goodbye to your girlfriend?" I teased, walking toward him and pushing him against his car. He was going to pay for that.
"I don't know what you're talking about, babe." He was laughing now.
"Uh huh. Give me a kiss and get outta here wolf boy."
He laughed loudly, pulling me close to his body. He wrapped his arms around my waist and smiled down at me. "Why would I kiss you? You're kicking me out." He pouted, trying to hide his smile.
I laughed, reaching up to wrap my arms around his neck. "Because I love you." I kissed his lower lip softly. "And I'm the luckiest girl in the world, because you love me too." I smiled.
He paused, seeming to think about it. "Mmmm. Maybe." He teased and before I could respond, he was kissing me.
I meant for it to be a simple kiss goodbye but I couldn't help myself. I slid my fingers into his hair and pulled his face closer to mine, tilting my head to deepen the kiss. He wrapped his arms around my waist, hugging me close.
We were still kissing a minute or two or ten later when I heard a voice I never thought I'd hear again.
"Bella?"
I don't remember ever seeing Jacob move as fast as he did that day. One minute we were wrapped in each others arms, mouths fused together and the next he had me behind his back, glaring at someone I never expected to see again. Edward Cullen.
Edward was standing in front of us, staring at us like someone had just run over his puppy. I imagine it wasn't a pleasant site to see me wrapped in the arms of another man, but that was his fault.
"Edward?"
I peaked around Jacob's vibrating form to look into the eyes of my first love. I was surprised to see how quickly he'd gone from upset to infuriated. I'd never seen Edward look so murderous.
"Bella, you need to get away from him, he's going to hurt you." He didn't even look at me as he spoke, his black eyes locked on Jacob. I couldn't see Jacob's face from behind him, but I didn't have to see him to know how furious he must look.
I ignored him, reaching up to rub Jake's arms, willing him to calm down. The vibrating stopped a few seconds later, but he remained tense.
Edward watched us with a curious expression on his face, and I briefly wondered what he was thinking. Seeing some fragile human girl calm down an angry Quileute werewolf probably looked strange, I admit.
"I'd never hurt her, bloodsucker. That's not my job, is it?" The double meaning was not lost on any of us.
"What are you doing here, Edward?" I asked, still rubbing Jacob's arms gently trying to calm him down. The last thing I needed was for them to fight.
"I wanted to see if you were alright, love." I winced. If he noticed, he hid it well. "Alice failed to inform me that you'd disappeared from her visions long ago, though I believe that is my fault. I did ask her to stop looking."
I didn't say anything, looking up at Jacob's face for the first time. I couldn't read the expression on his face for the first time, and that scared me. It was killing me not knowing what was going through his head.
"Bella, I'd like to take you to the house. The family is there and anxious to see you. Everyone has missed you very much."
I looked at Edward, my heart gave a painful tug at the mention of the Cullens. Though I was still so angry at them leaving, I couldn't help but miss them.
Jacob growled quietly from beside me, I couldn't imagine how difficult it was for him to keep from phasing.
"I think it's best you leave, Edward." I reached down, grasping Jacob's trembling hand tightly. "Please give my love to your family."
His eyes seemed to be glued to mine and Jacob's hands. Finally, after several moments he looked up to meet my eyes, nodding once before disappearing into the woods.
I stood there silently, waiting for Jake to say something. I felt like it was forever before I couldn't take it anymore.
"Babe?" I stepped in front of him, gently resting my hands on his chest.
He looked down at me, his expression still unreadable.
"Talk to me." I was begging, and I hated it. I couldn't help it, though. I was desperate to know what he was thinking, but he gave away nothing.
He stared at me for a long time before he finally spoke. "I have to call Sam. I'll see you tonight, ok? Leah should be here any second."
I knew that arguing with him would be pointless, so I nodded, frowning. I wanted to talk about this. I didn't want him to leave with things so strained between us.
With a quick kiss, he got into his car and drove off. I watched his car until it was out of sight, not moving from my driveway.
Luckily, Leah's car appeared seconds after Jacob's disappeared. She knew something was wrong as soon as she saw me. We sat on my porch as I explained Edward's return and Jacob's abrupt departure, all the while fighting back the tears blurring my vision.
"It's going to be okay, Bell. He'll be back." Her reassuring words did not comfort me. I needed Jacob to come back, take me into his arms and tell me that he loved me and that we would get through this.
He didn't come back to my house that night.
Things only got worse from there. Edward wasn't happy to learn that I was dating a werewolf. Jacob wasn't happy that the Cullens were back. I wasn't happy that my life had been damn near perfect and now I had no idea what the hell was going on.
I found out through Jacob that the Cullens returned when Alice had a vision of Victoria returning to Forks. Apparently, they panicked when Alice tried to search for my future and had come up blank.
We realized early on that whenever Alice was around the pack, she couldn't see anything. It was kinda amusing to see her getting to aggravated.
Thankfully, I hadn't seen very much of the Cullens since they returned. Sam and Carlisle came to an agreement that they would only have contact with each other when Alice saw something new. So far, she'd seen nothing, and I'd kept my distance.
Things with Jacob were strained and I felt terrible. Every time he looked at me, I felt like he was waiting for me to disappear. Not to mention that we'd barely had any alone time and I missed him.
Edward had taken it upon himself to annoy the ever loving shit out of me. I'd practically nailed my bedroom window shut after the first night he showed up. I'd been dressed in a tank top and boy shorts, waiting for Jacob when he let himself in. It'd taken me over an hour to convince Jacob not to hunt him down.
After 2 weeks of driving me nuts, I finally agreed to talk to Edward. He'd been just short of begging and I couldn't take it anymore. I hated that they were back and that I cared. I missed them, but that didn't mean I was happy to see them. Jacob wasn't happy when I told him Edward was stopping by that night. He'd felt a little better when I told him Charlie knew that Edward was coming over, and I promised to stay downstairs.
I hated that Edward still had any affect on me. I'd spent the better part of my first year in Forks loving Edward; it was hard to just ignore that. I knew it hurt Jacob to know that Edward being here affected me, but I assured him every day that it wasn't what he was thinking. He never voiced his fears, but it wasn't hard to guess what was going on inside Jacob's head.
"Bella, Edward's here." Charlie called, stepping aside to let Edward in. I hurried downstairs, wanting to get this over with as quickly as possible.
"Hello Edward,"
He smiled at me. "Bella, you look lovely." I mentally rolled my eyes. I looked the same as I did everyday, tank top and sweat pants.
"Shall we?" I motioned toward the kitchen, ignoring the confused look on his face. I knew he expected to go up to my room, but after the last incident, he wasn't going anywhere near my bedroom. My bedroom was a werewolf only zone. Ha.
Charlie watched us for a moment, I could tell he didn't know what to do with himself. I wanted to laugh, but I held it in. I felt his pain. I didn't know what to do with myself either.
"Dinner's almost ready, dad. I'll call you when it's done." I gave him a reassuring smile before following Edward into the kitchen. I opened the oven to check the lasagna first and then sat at the table across from Edward. I didn't have to wait long before he began to speak.
"Thank you for agreeing to talk to me, Bella." I gave him a tight smile in response. "I know this isn't easy, my family and I returning to Forks unannounced. I apologize for that."
I stared at him for a moment, waiting for him to continue. When he didn't, I folded my arms across my chest. "No, it's not easy, Edward. You left with barely a goodbye. Your familyleft without any goodbye. Now you show up a year later and you expect everything to be the same. It's not, Edward. Nothing is the same. I'm not the same."
He nodded, slowly. "I see. I apologize for our abrupt departure, Bella. I was trying to do what is best-"
"Don't you dare say that you were doing what's best for me. How do you know what's best for me?" I lowered my voice. "You said yourself, you can't read my mind. How do you know what I want? I don't want to hear that." Jerk.
He silent for a few moments before leaning forward to rest his arms on the table. I unconsciously leaned back, though he was across the table. He winced, but I ignored it. He deserved it, and I refused to feel bad.
"Bella. Please understand that while my actions are unforgivable, I had the very best intentions for you, love."
"Stop calling me that. I'm not your love, Edward. I haven't been for a long time."
He nodded slowly, but he didn't comment. "I can see that you are still very angry with me. I cannot apologize enough for the pain that my family and I have caused you, Bella. You should know that my family has not been happy with me since we left Forks." His voice was sad.
I sighed. "I'm sorry to hear that."
He was about to say something, but stopped when Charlie walked into the kitchen to grab a beer from the fridge.
"Everything alright?" Charlie asked, looking back and forth between us. I was sure he could feel the tension in the small room.
"Absolutely, Chief Swan. Bella and I are just catching up." I rolled my eyes as discreetly as possible. I could tell by the look on my fathers face that I didn't do a good job at hiding my annoyance. He laughed once, grunted in response and walked out, leaving us alone once more.
"I have to finish dinner, Edward. Jacob will be over soon. I think we've said all that we needed to."
"Not everything." He frowned, staring at me with one of the most pitiful looks I'd ever seen.
"What is it?" I finally asked. Something about the look on his face was making me nervous. I was sure that I didn't want to hear what he had to say next.
"I lied to you when I left that day, Bella," My stomach dropped. "You believed me so easily. You really thought that I no longer loved you? I will never love another the way I love you, Bella."
Love? Did he just say love? Present tense. Oh God.
I sat there for a long time, unable to form a response. This wasn't what I was expecting.
"Bella? Are you alright, love?"
Was I alright? I didn't know. This was too much to deal with.
"I told you to stop calling me that. I don't like it, and Jacob doesn't either." I paused. "Why are you telling me this?" I finally asked. I cringed. I sounded so weak.
"Because I love you, Bella. I love you, and I'm so sorry for ever hurting you. I know that things are different, with the werewolf now, but what we had is once in a lifetime. Our love is pure, Isabella."
My heart clenched at the mention of Jacob. My Jacob. I needed him here. I needed him to be here with me, to hold me and tell me that this was a nightmare and that this wasn't happening. But I knew that it was. This was happening, and I needed to deal with it on my own.
What did this mean, though? I'd spent the better part of the last year thinking that Edward never loved me. That what Edward and I shared wasn't real. To find out now that I was wrong, it knocked the wind out of me.
Could I see myself with Edward ever again? Could I really see a life as a Cullen? As a vampire? Could I really give up my family? My wolves? Could I let go of Jacob, for the life I wanted so long ago?
I shook my head. "No."
Edward looked confused. "No?"
"I'd like for you to leave, Edward. My boyfriend will be here momentarily to have dinner with my father and I, and I'd like for you to be gone when he gets here." I mentally patted myself on the back for how strong I sounded.
"But-"
"I'm sorry Edward. I love Jacob. I can't and wont give that up. I'm sorry." I turned toward the stove, ending the conversation. I busied myself, removing the lasagna from the oven and calling out to Charlie that dinner was ready.
"Good evening, Chief Swan."
"Edward." Was Charlie's response and then the front door opened and closed. I sighed in relief.
I was putting our plates on the table when Charlie walked into the kitchen. "Everything alright, Bells?"
I looked up and smiled. "Everything is great, dad." I turned to grab the pan of lasagna, gently setting it in the middle of the table.
"Where's that son of mine?" Charlie teased, taking his seat next to mine. My heart clenched at his words. He had no idea how much his words meant to me. I briefly wondered if Edward was still within hearing distance and heard Charlie refer to Jacob as his son. I shrugged the thought away. It didn't matter to me. I almost hoped that he did hear him, maybe then he'd realize how close Jake and I were.
"He'll be over soon. He was with Embry and Quil last time I spoke to him. There's another lasagna in the oven for him," I winked. Charlie always made jokes about Jake's large appetite.
He laughed loudly, shaking his head. "Bottomless pit." I smiled.
Charlie and I talked through the rest of dinner, exchanging stories of the week so far. I listened with a smile on my face as he talked about his fishing trip with Billy and Harry. I was glad that he had such good friends.
He excused himself from the table once we were finished, making his way to the living room to watch sports center.
I was still sitting in the kitchen when someone knocked on the door. I'd been so lost in my own thoughts that I nearly jumped out of my skin when Jacob walked in. I was so happy to see him that I jumped into his arms, not caring that Charlie was standing there watching us.
He excused himself upstairs after a few awkward moments on his part, I'm sure. I didn't miss the smile on his face, though. It wasn't a secret who my father preferred.
"How'd it go?" He asked, moving so I could sit on the counter in front of him. He lifted his hand to tuck my hair behind my ear.
"It was hard, but it's over." I smiled, reaching up to cup his cheeks. "Hungry?" I knew the answer to that.
After Jacob finished 3 large helpings of lasagna, I climbed onto his lap, wanting to be as close to him as possible. I hugged him close, kissing his neck softly.
"Let's go upstairs." I whispered into Jacob's ear, gently tracing my tongue along the rim of his ear. I heard him take a deep breath and smiled slightly. I took his earlobe between my teeth, grinning when I felt him shiver beneath me. I was unable to continue my teasing before he lifted me from his lap and hurried upstairs. I buried my face in his neck, placing gently kisses on his warm skin.
It was in the next seconds that we were laying on my bed, Jacob hovering above me. I reached up, running my fingers through his short silky hair.
"I missed you," I whispered, leaning up to kiss his lips softly.
"I missed you too, baby." He whispered against my lips before kissing me deeply. I moaned into the kiss, wrapping my arms around his neck.
Jacob pulled away a few seconds later, chuckling when I protested. "I'm not going anywhere, Bells." He kissed my nose gently before raising himself onto his knees. He motioned with his finger to come closer, and I sat up quickly.
[Lemon Warning]
He smiled at me as he lifted my shirt over my head, tossing it behind him. He leaned forward, brushing gently kisses along my collar bone, gently running his fingertips along the exposed skin of my back. He was about to undo the clasp on my bra when I stopped him. The confused expression on his face made me smile.
"Babe?"
I bit my lower lip, lifting my body so I was on my knees before him. "You have way too much clothing on." I smiled when he gave me a knowing smirk. He allowed me to lift his t-shirt above his head, dropping it to the floor. I paused to place delicate kisses on his chest.
"Mmm. Delicious." I whispered, smiling. I glanced up to see Jacob watching me with hooded eyes. I moaned at the sight. "God baby, you're so sexy." I mumbled against his warm skin, trailing wet kisses up his chest to his neck.
"Bells, I need you."
I gently ran my hands along his chest to the waistband of his jeans. He leaned back, watching my shaking hands undo the button of his jeans and lower his zipper before he pulled them off and tossed them to join our shirts on the floor. His hands were pulling my sweatpants and panties down in the next second, and we were both naked.
I laid back on my bed, bringing Jacob on top of me again, kissing his lips hungrily. He pulled back too soon, and before I could protest for the second time that night, he was attacking my neck. I tilted my head to the opposite side, giving him complete access to my skin.
"Mmm. Babe, I want you so bad." He growled into my neck, his hands drifting down to my breasts. I groaned loudly when he pulled on my nipples, lowering his mouth to take one into his warm mouth.
"Oh Jacob." I sighed his name, laying my head back on my pillows. I loved the feeling of his mouth and hands on my body. I bucked my hips against his, causing us both to groan.
"Do that again," He whispered, removing his mouth from my nipple to kiss me. I bucked my hips against him, pleasantly surprised when he thrust himself inside me.
"Uhhh," We groaned loudly into the kiss. I wrapped my legs around his waist, arching my back as he continued to pound into me. I felt like it'd been forever since we were intimate, and I was loving this. I felt like our need for each other had reached a new high.
"You like that?" He growled into my ear, his hands squeezing my hips in a steady rhythm with his thrusts.
I moaned in response. I loved when he got like this. Making love to Jacob never got old. Some nights it was slow and passionate, and on nights like tonight, it was rough.
I leaned up on my elbows, kissing him deeply. I lifted my hips, meeting him thrust for thrust, our bodies slick with sweat. I pulled away a few seconds later, his head leaned into the crook of my neck, allowing me to whisper into his ear. I knew he loved when I talked dirty to him.
"Fuck me, babe. Just like that. Oh yeah. Do you like fucking my wet pussy?" He groaned into my neck loudly, speeding up his thrusts. "Oh yes, baby. You're gonna make me cum. Do you want me to cum all over your hard cock?" I bit into his shoulder, feeling my orgasm approaching quickly.
"Dammit, Bells. I feel you about to cum. Cum baby. Cum all over me." He moaned, reaching down to pinch the swollen bundle of nerves between my legs. That was my undoing.
I bucked against his hips repeatedly, riding out the waves of pleasure. I moaned his name repeatedly as he thrust into me, prolonging my orgasm as long as possible. I could tell he was close, so I pushed against his shoulders, stilling his movements.
"Babe, I'm so close." He whimpered, but I silenced his protest with a sweet kiss.
"I want you to cum in my mouth." I whispered into the kiss. I smiled as he groaned, pulling out of me and laying down next to me.
I didn't hesitate to follow, lowering my head to his swollen shaft. I took him into my mouth, humming in delight. He groaned loudly, gripping my shoulders in his hands.
I watched him as I pumped him in and out of my mouth. His eyes were closed, and his mouth was wide open, panting.
I could feel his entire body shaking as I sucked him harder, drawing him further toward the edge.
"Bells, baby. Oh Goddddd." He groaned loudly, gasping for breath. I could feel him about to cum. I reached up, lightly caressing his balls, moaning around him.
"Bellaaaaa!" He bucked his hips, as his warm seed filled my mouth and I swallowed as much as I could.
[End of Lemon]
It was several minutes later when he finally calmed down, pulling me into his arms. "I love you." He whispered. I smiled, kissing him softly.
"I love you, too." I laid my head down on his chest, hugging him close to my naked body. I never wanted to move from that moment.
"Can we just stay here, like this, forever?" I whispered, tracing patterns on his chest. I leaned my head back to look at him, smiling.
He chuckled softly. "I'm not sure your dad would like it very much if we stayed in your bed naked forever."
I laughed, shrugging. "Then we'll stay in your bed."
"Naked?" He asked, amused.
I nodded. "So I can take advantage of you whenever I want."
He laughed again, shaking his head. "Only if I can take advantage of you whenever I want."
I pretended to think about it for a moment before I shrugged. "Sounds like a fair deal to me."
He smiled. "I love you, Bells."
I nodded. "I know." I laughed when he poked me in the side.
"Ok, ok. Geez. I love you, too." I paused. "But only because that poke hurt."
I wanted to give you guys a little fluff at the end there. Hope you liked Chapter 3! Let me know what you think! =)
