"No nightmares?" Emmett asked as I rubbed my eyes.
"Nope. Just a nice nap." I said with much content.
"It sounded wonderful."
"Oh god, what did I say?" I asked since I had been known for talking in my sleep.
"Nothing really. But you kept saying 'Emmett is the king' and that you wanted my body... Just stuff like that."
"Shut up." I said playfully hitting his chest.
"You did say his name, though." I looked up at him in confusion.
"Edward." He said. I sunk further into the bed. I was so embarrassed.
"I need a human moment." I said thrusting myself out of bed. I ran to the bathroom and shut the door. It was so cold in there. I turned the water on in the shower and heard a gentle tapping at the door.
"Bella?" Emmett called.
"I'm okay, Em. I'm just taking a shower." I yelled through the door.
I took off my clothes and emerged in the close to unbearable heat of the shower. I took my time washing my hair and body then shaving my legs and underarms.
When I got out of the shower my skin was throbbing. It was bright red. I could feel my pulse all over. I hurried to my room where I had forgotten Emmett was. I screamed in sudden terror but quickly calmed down.
"I'm sorry, you scared me."
"It's okay." He said laughing. "Lemme just get out of your way." He walked passed me and shut the door behind him as he entered the hallway.
I threw on a smaller pair of grey shorts that I wouldn't have to fight to keep on my body, a black v neck that draped over me loosely and a light blue hoodie. When it came time to brush my hair I took my time carefully undoing each tangle. Once I had finished I threw my hairbrush on my desk and flopped down face up on my bed. I stared aimlessly at the ceiling just looking for something.
A loud rumble coming from the bathroom kicked me out of my daze. I burst out of my door and found Emmett standing over the toilet.
"Just reflecting on old memories." He smiled.
"You are the most bizarre person, I swear." I said walking back into my room. All of a sudden I was swept up in the air. I didn't hear Emmett's footsteps behind me.
"Take it back!" He growled.
"I meant it in a good way!" I giggled.
He set me down on my bed. I brought my knees up to my chest and stared up at him.
"What?" He asked. I must have had a weird look on my face or something.
"Nothing." I said. He opened his mouth to say something more but stopped when he heard my cell phone ringing. I walked over to my desk and looked at the caller ID. I saw it was Jacob and I answered right away.
"Hey, Jacob."
"Bella, Hi!" He sounded really excited.
"What's up?"
"Not much. I was just wondering if you wanted to come over tonight. We're having a little get together at La Push."
"Yeah, of course. I'd love to come." I said. But as I looked up I saw a glimmer of something that wasn't exactly joy in Emmett's eyes.
"Great. You can come by my house at eleven and we can ride down to the beach together."
"Eleven?" I asked in amazement.
"That's how brown kids party." He laughed.
"Alright. I'll see you at eleven then. Bye, Jake."
"Bye, Bella." I set my phone down.
"What's wrong?" I asked Emmett.
"Jacob is your friend from La Push?" He asked.
"Yeah."
He took a step closer to me. "Bella, I don't think you should be hanging out there." He said with concern in his voice.
"Jacob is my friend." I protested.
"I know. I've just got a bad feeling about it."
"Emmett, it'll be fine. There's absolutely nothing to worry about. Jake-"
"Bella, I know Jake will keep you safe." He interrupted.
"I don't understand." I said. He walked over to me and placed one hand on my cheek and the other on the small of my back.
"Bella, stay with me." I had to catch my breath. His words stunned me. His voice was so seductive, yet serious. I had never seen this side of Emmett. Then suddenly he pressed his lips to mine. I had trouble registering what was happening and how I felt about it. He pulled away from me slightly and I met his gaze. All of a sudden I felt it. This need and hunger devoured every piece of me. I desired him.
I pulled him closer to me and he kissed me with more passion then he had before. As I stepped back closer to the bed he followed without leaving my lips. I started tugging at his shirt and he looked at me with panic in his eyes.
"I'm sorry." I said lowering my hands. I felt so foolish.
"Bella, no." He said with a smirk. "I just want to make sure you're ready."
"Of course I'm ready, look at me!" He chuckled.
"I'll treat you right, Bella." He whispered into my ear. My stomach did exited nervous flips knowing what was about to happen.
He laid me down on the bed and crawled over me. He pulled his shirt over his head and revealed his broad muscular chest and rippled abs. His skin glowed in the moonlight. I stared in awe at the god like figure before me. The one who wanted me.
I slipped my arms out of my hoodie and threw it on the ground. Emmett lifted my oversized t shirt over my head then slid his stone cold hand from my chest to my waist and removed my shorts leaving me bare, naked and vulnerable. I heard his jeans hit the floor. He descended to me and kissed my neck before it happened. With a quiet grunt he thrust himself into me. I winced.
"Are you okay?" He asked with terror in his voice.
"Yeah," I gasped. "Just don't stop." He rhythmically slid in and out of me. I clutched onto his shoulders and moaned in delight. He cocked his head back and let a groan linger in the back of his throat. My whole body was shaking. I had never experienced anything like this. I couldn't believe that obtaining this much pleasure was possible without dying of a heart attack.
The tender touch of Emmett's lips on my skin made me shiver. He suddenly slowed down.
"Are you okay?" He asked again.
I gripped his neck. "Emmett, I'm fine." He gently slid inside me again. I let out a quick moan. "I don't want to hurt you." He said kissing my forehead.
"You won't." I said trying to catch my breath. "I'm still alive, aren't I?" He chuckled.
I brought myself up to his chest and he held onto me. Emmett was still on his knees but my body was against him now. I wrapped my legs around his waist and he entered me again. Our bodies moved together in perfect harmony. I tangled my fingers in his hair and pulled his lips to mine. With every movement he let out a low grunt. The noises he was making sent my stomach on a rollercoaster ride.
I was still straddling his waist as he stood up and pinned me against the wall.
"Mmm... Bella..." He moaned into my neck.
"Oh, god, Emmett!" I screamed in delight. I let his tongue past my lips and tangle itself with mine. His moans became louder. All I could hear was my back slamming against the wall and Emmett's sounds of pleasure.
He pulled his lips away from mine and gazed into my eyes.
"Bella..." He breathed. "I love you."
"I love you, Emmett." I said in one big breath. He smiled then carried me back to the bed. We were in the position we began and I felt something building inside me, starting where he began. By the look on his face I knew he could feel it too.
"Bella..." He moaned as he reached his hands over my head. Something was coming. Every move he made it became more intense. My breaths became shorter and shorter until it came. A moment of grand euphoria. Like a volcano erupted inside me leaving me shaking and breathless. It was at that point Emmett made a loud moan and I heard something snap above my head. I looked up and saw my headboard had turned into a pile of sawdust. Emmett looked at me in embarrassment. I laughed and met his lips.
"I love you." I said. "You're amazing." I whispered before kissing him again. As we parted I saw a smile drawn on his face. He fell next to me and I placed my hand on his chest.
He held it over where his heart beat once was and said, "You're so warm, Bella."
"Thanks." I said awkwardly and unsure of how to respond. He laughed. I moved closer to him and wrapped my arms around his body. My heart was still racing. I wondered if it would ever stop.
My alarm clock made its hourly tone and I looked up. It was eleven already.
In a slight panic I pulled away from Emmett's arms, gathered up my shirt that had fallen on the floor and put it back on.
"What're doing?" He asked.
"Getting dressed. It's already eleven. I'm supposed to be at Jacob's by now." I said as I put my jacket on.
"Bella, I thought you were staying." He said, confused.
"I did stay. Now Jake is waiting. I won't be gone very long."
He grabbed my wrist. "I'll make you feel good again."
I jerked away from his touch. "That's what this was?"
"What?"
"You had sex with me so that I wouldn't go see Jacob?"
He looked at me in disbelief. "No, Bella. I love you-"
"I'm going." I said cutting him off. I opened the drawer where I kept my jeans which I hadn't opened in months, pulled out the first pair on top and put them on. They didn't fit right, of course, but it didn't matter. I just wanted to see Jacob.
I darted down the stairs, out the door and into my precious truck. The engine started and I eagerly pulled out of the driveway. I pulled out my cell phone and dialed Jacob's number. It rang twice before he answered.
"Hello?"
"Hey, Jake. It's me. I just left my house. I'm sorry, I'm trying to hurry."
"Don't rush, Bells. It's cool. I'll be waiting when you get here."
"Okay, thanks."
"Anytime." I could hear him grinning.
"Bye." I pushed the end button before I had the chance to hear him say it back.
I arrived at Jacob's house in less than ten minutes. He must have heard the truck pull up because he was already standing on the porch when I got there. I turned the key in the ignition and the truck suddenly stopped rumbling. I left the keys in and jumped out of the car. I started wobbling when I tried to take a step towards Jake.
"Bella!" He cheered as he ran up to me. He wrapped me in a hug. The temperature of his skin shocked me again.
"Geeze, Jake. Maybe you should see a doctor." I suggested.
He chuckled. "Maybe."
"So what are we doing at the beach?" I asked.
"Just a few guys hanging out. Nothing to special. There's gunna be a campfire, though."
"A campfire is special." I said with a hint of sarcastic whimsy in my voice.
He gave me a pity laugh. "C'mon. They're expecting us." He started walking and I followed behind him slowly. It hurt to walk. The pain shot through where Emmett had been before. I shook my head and quietly told myself to buck up.
Jacob walked into his dark garage and came out with a motorcycle and a simple black riding helmet. You have got to be kidding me…
"What'da think?" He asked proudly.
"It's cool. I didn't know you were into motorcycles."
"I wasn't. I just bored after I was finished with the Rabbit. This is more of a ladies magnet." He said pushing the bike closer to me. Jacob lifted his leg over the bike and sat in the middle of the seat.
"Hop on." He smiled. He put both of his hands on the handle bars. I faked a smile and swung my right leg over the bike. It hurt so badly, like I was being ripped down the middle. It got worse when he turned the bike on. He handed the helmet to me and I placed it securely on my head.
"Hold on tight!" He shouted. I wrapped my arms around Jacob's waist and he took off.
He drove a short time down a winding road to a small trail him and his friends had made for easy access to the beach. Jacob took my hand and helped me get off the bike. We had taken a few steps down the path and he still hadn't let go. I shook my hand free from his.
"Jacob!" I looked up to see three tall muscular figures approaching Jacob and I.
"Hey, bro." Jacob said to greet them.
"Guys, this is Bella Swan. Bella, this is Embry, Qui-" We all started to laugh.
"What?"
"Jake, we've met before."
"Oh, right." He looked embarrassed.
"You guys look different, though. Is it a rule once you become sixteen you have to chop your hair off and grow ten inches?" I asked sarcastically.
"Yeah. The tattoo is just the icing on the cake."
"A tattoo? No way." I said. Embry flashed me his right bicep. An egg shaped outline filled with random shapes covered the upper part of his arm.
"All of you guys got one?" Quill and Jared pulled up their shirt sleeves as well to show off their ink. It was the same pattern.
"Why?"
"It's a part of joining the pack." Jared said. Embry hit him in the stomach. Jared curled over in pain.
"Dude, not in front of her!"
"What?" I looked at Embry and Quill. Their eyes gave nothing away.
Jacob grabbed my arm. "C'mon, Bella."
"Jake..." Embry said like he was trying to warn him about something.
"I know." Jacob nodded. We started walking further away from the group huddled around the campfire.
"What's going on Jake?" I asked.
"It's complicated." He said looking at the ocean.
"I figured that." He stared at his feet while he walked.
"Jacob, you can tell me anything. You know that. You're my best friend." He halfway smiled.
"I wish I could."
I groaned. "I can keep a secret, Jake."
"I know. But this is bigger than just any secret because it's not mine to keep." I didn't really follow along with what he was saying.
"Maybe if you could figure it out somehow..." He looked at me with a twinkle in his eye. "We'll play the question and answer game. Ask me any question and maybe you can figure out the big picture." I didn't have to think long at all to come up with my first question.
"How do you know about the Cullens?"
He looked straight ahead of him. "Something inside lets you know. It clicks on and you don't really know why at first but then you start to notice patterns. Things smell and feel different."
"So you guessed?"
"No." He laughed. "It was more like an instinct."
"Okay. Um... Why are you so hot?"
"That just the way God wanted me to be, I guess."
"You know what I mean." I said backhanding his chest.
"It's all a part of the change." He said.
"What change?"
He lifted his head up abruptly and sniffed the air.
"Speak of the devil." He muttered.
"What?" I asked. Then in a split second his eyes got really wide, he looked at me then sprinted back the way we came. I would have chased after him but Jake was way too fast and I was afraid that my insides might fall out.
A loud growling in the distance startled me. It sounded like large angry dogs fighting over a piece of meat. I took a deep breath and did what horror movies taught you not to do when you heard a mysterious sound in the night. I walked towards the ruckus and it grew louder and louder. I got close enough to see what was making all the noise. Three gigantic wolves were going at it. One was grey, one was black and the other was auburn brown. I heard Embry and Jared's voices cheering. The sight was so bizarre I had no idea what to do. I kept walking closer.
"Jake! Get out of there!" Embry yelled. The monstrous auburn wolf stepped back and looked at Embry. It almost shook its head then made eye contact with me. The auburn wolf pounced on the black one and bit his neck. It let out a loud screech of pain. This distraction let they grey wolf run into the darkness. The auburn wolf looked at me then suddenly vanished out of thin air. The black wolf shook himself then disappeared as well. Where the wolves were just a second before Jacob and Sam now stood. Jake looked at me with concern in his eyes.
Embry stood between us. "Well, I guess the cats out of the bag!"
AN: This is officially the longest and my personal favorite chapter so far. I apologize for any virgin eyes that were soiled by reading about the sexual encounter between Bella and Emmett. We've all gotta grow up some day. Reviewers and readers, thank you so much! And people who have added this story to alert also. You're why I'm doing this! Hopefully the next chapter won't take long to arrive but until then, Tchaio!
