Koneko101- Wow, people like this story a lot better than I thought they would. Yay! Here's the first chapter. Hope you like it!
Chapter 1
Beck grumbled as he felt light hitting his eyes. Cracking them open, he glared at the window the sunlight was shining through. It was bright, meaning it was at least 9. Huffing slightly, he looked down when he felt something move. Jade stared back at him, eyes heavy lidded and sleepy. She looked like a kitten that had just gotten a bowl of cream. Pushing his lust down, he moved her hair out of her face and kissed her forehead. She plopped her head onto his shoulder, moving her hand to clutch onto his shoulder.
"Why're you up so early?" she whined, burying her face into his warm skin.
Beck chuckled slightly as he located his phone. Looking at the time, he saw that it was almost 10. Good thing it was a Saturday.
"It's actually almost 10, babe. You ready to get up yet?"
She snorted while snuggling closer. "When a certain boyfriend forces you to stay up until almost 5 in the morning, it's early. So no, I'm not."
Beck laughed loudly as she flipped him off before settling back down to sleep. He looked at her lovingly as she slipped back into sleep, her lips turning into a small smile. She was too cute sometimes, especially when she was tired. His smile turned impish as he remembered the previous night. Yeah, so worth it. Relaxing slightly, he listened to Jade's gentle breathing as she slept. He was used to living on small amounts of sleep, so he didn't really feel tired. Plus he generally lounged for parts of the day, so that kept him rested. He laid there for a couple of hours, just watching her sleep. He loved times like this, when she was just relaxed. Most of the day she was tense, either from school or from making sure that other girls stayed away from him. He constantly told her that there was no need to be jealous, that she was the only one for him, even though it was fun sometimes to make her a little jealous. It was nice to know how much she cared. He did admit that he took it too far at times, especially with the Alyssa Vaughn incident.
He winced at that particular memory. After thinking about it, he had to admit that Jade had been somewhat right. She had been hitting on him through text; she just hadn't understood why it wasn't a big deal. She still didn't, considering she had no idea about their true selves. He had been surprised when Tori had come over to talk to him, since she and Jade didn't exactly see eye to eye. Tori accepted her as Beck's mate, but wished she was a liiiiiiittle nicer. But he had been angry too, angry that she didn't understand that he wouldn't leave her. COULDN'T leave her. He had tried once with Alyssa, but it didn't work. He didn't talk to her much nowadays. Every time they had yoga all she seemed to do was try to get him to leave Jade. Said he deserved a real mate rather than a disgusting human. He growled angrily as his grip on Jade tightened. Human or not, she was everything he needed. He loosened his hold when she whimpered in her sleep, rubbing her hip in apology.
Glancing around, he noticed that the blanket had been kicked to the floor. Good thing he was warm enough for both of them. They stayed like for this for about another hour before Jade decided it was time to get up. Stretching with a little groan, she blinked sleepily as her eyes adjusted. Looking up at him, she smiled happily while reaching for a kiss. He returned it eagerly, flipping them so he was on top. He ran his hands down her sides, smirking when she arched into his touch. She broke the kiss to glare up at him. He tried to give her an innocent look in return.
"What?"
"Don't you what me, bud. You got plenty of that last night, and we have things to do today so up!" she snapped, pushing him off of her onto the floor.
Rubbing his head, he gave her a small glare as he sat up.
"And what exactly are doing today, babe? Because if I recall, you're the one who wanted to sleep more," he said in a faux sweet voice.
She glared at him again as she stood from the bed, stretching high on her toes with her arms over her head. She smirked when she caught Beck's appraising look.
"Well, I need to get some clothes from home. And I'm thinking of getting another piercing, so you can go with me if you promise not to wimp out like a little baby."
Beck huffed slightly as he rose off of the floor. Wasn't his fault he wasn't a huge needle fan.
"Just because you can handle some things better than others doesn't make me a wimp," he said snootily.
Jade let out a small laugh as she disappeared into the bathroom. He soon heard the shower running, and a few moments later humming filled the room. Shaking his head, he ran a hand through his hair before glancing at the time. 11:13. They had plenty of time to get everything done, even if they ended up being a little late. Grinning to himself, he made sure to keep quiet as he entered the small bathroom. Jade was washing her hair, white foam running down her back. She didn't notice his approach, and he made sure to keep quiet as he reached forward to grab her.
"Don't even think about it, Oliver."
Beck felt his jaw drop as he stared at her. How the heck did she know he was there? When he voiced his question, she just gave him a patient look like you would a small child.
"You try to sneak up on me almost every time I'm in the shower. Why would this time be any different?" she asked with a small shrug.
Beck considered her reasoning as she turned back to continue her shower. Shrugging, he wrapped his arms around her soapy form. Moving her now clean hair to the side, he placed a kiss on her neck as he inhaled deeply. Mmm, cinnamon and black coffee. Only Jade could smell like that. She shivered against him, despite the water being close to scalding. Taking the soap from her, he lathered it up before beginning to wash her back. She relaxed against him, allowing him to worship her body. Sometimes it was nice to be together without it ending in sex. Once she was clean, he made sure all the suds were rinsed off of her before gently moving her aside to wash himself. He shooed her away when she tried to return the favor, making sure to wash quickly. Once he was finished, he turned the water off before leading her out of the small cubicle. He wrapped a towel around her, rubbing her dry before doing the same. She just stayed silent, enjoying the spoiling he was doing for her. He often made her feel special, but a little extra never hurt now and then. It reminded her that he still loved her, even though she couldn't figure out why. She admitted she was horrible to him at times, but she did try to be better.
Wrapping her towel tightly around her, she reached forward and wrapped her arms around him. He looked down at her in surprise. While she loved any physical contact he gave her, she didn't often start them. Wrapping his arms around her in return, he smiled against her hair. His inner wolf growled in content, happy with the way things were. They stood like this for a few moments, until Jade seemed to get over her little cuddly moment. Pulling away from him, she gave him a smirk as she looked him over.
"As nice as this is, I need to get ready. Now…. OUT!" she snapped, pushing him out of the room and locking the door.
"That's not very nice, Jadey!" he called back in fake annoyance.
"DON'T CALL ME THAT!"
Laughing loudly, he went about getting ready. Getting dressed, he looked around for his red plaid shirt. Jade had stolen it the other day, and he wanted to grab it for when he did the laundry. Well, took it to his mom anyway. He had tried to do it once, total disaster. He found it hidden underneath the bed, along with a dozen or so mystery items. Making a note to clean under there, he threw it in the basket as Jade came out. She looked amazing as ever. Her dark makeup was done perfectly, and she had picked the red extensions for today. A black corset top with a lace cardigan and black skinny jeans showed off her body without making her look like a hooker. Grinning like a madman, he cupped her cheek and pressed a soft kiss to her lips. She hooked her hands on his cheeks, not letting him escape, not that he wanted to anyway. Walking them backwards, he felt more than heard her gasp when they went toppling onto the couch.
Catching himself so he didn't crush her, he grinned at her and winked, making her giggle. Cradling her neck in his hand, he tilted her up slightly to give her a chaste kiss. She sighed against him, and he spread out next to her so he could hold her close. They stayed this way for a few moments before Beck felt his stomach growl. Jade snorted before sitting up.
"Come on, let's do something before you wake up China," she teased.
Rolling his eyes, he allowed her to pull him up and out the door. He slipped his arm around her waist as they headed for the main house. His parents' cars were gone, so the house was empty for them. Beck went straight to the kitchen as Jade went to get dishes to set the table. By the time she was done, he had already started eggs and bacon while getting the batter started for pancakes.
'All he needs is a frilly apron and he'd be the perfect housewife,' she thought with amusement.
Going to the coffee maker, she set about getting it started. Beck watched from the corner of his eye as she added a few extra scoops to the maker. He was going to need plenty of sweetener to drink that. Turning back to the batter, he heard the chair scrape as she sat herself at the island. He focused on their food for a few minutes before turning to look at her. She had a large cup of coffee in her hands, and a huge grin was on her face. He raised an eyebrow at her while trying to figure out what was so funny.
"What're you grinning about, babe?"
"Oh, nothing. Just wondering if I should get you that frilly apron like Cat has, since your being such a good little wife," she said innocently, sipping her coffee to hide her smile.
Beck scoffed as he poured the batter onto the skillet. "If I recall, YOU'RE the one who almost burned the house down before learning how to cook. That was also the day Mom decided we BOTH needed to learn. Something about equality or some crap," he snarked, mumbling the last part.
She shrugged again before focusing back on her coffee. They stayed in comfortable silence until the food was ready. Grabbing the eggs and bacon, she went to the table while he grabbed the pancakes and toppings. She had already put the food on the plates when he got there, and he kissed her cheek in passing while setting everything down. After settling down and getting their pancakes ready, they both quickly dug in. Having dated for over two years now, Jade had become used to his eating habits but the amount of food he could eat never ceased to amaze her. They chatted lightly over their meal, mostly about school and the new play they were both auditioning for. Jade was pretty sure she would get the lead, considering all of the other girls auditioning were freshman. Beck had to agree with her on this one. They weren't experienced enough for the role of Christine. He had been surprised that Cat and Tori didn't want the lead, but both preferred the supporting leads instead. It was nice to be out of the main spotlight once in a while. Once they were finished, Jade wordlessly picked up the dishes and retreated into the kitchen to clean them.
Beck didn't comment as he relaxed for a moment. He had learned long ago, back when she first started staying over, not to argue with her on this. Even though he had told her hundreds of times she didn't need to do that, her response was always the same.
"You cooked so I'll clean. And if I ever decide to cook you can clean. It's fair."
Beck shook his head slightly as he remembered this. Many people thought Jade forced him to do things all the time, that she never let him have a say in anything. Very untrue. She always tried to keep things fair, well unless she really wanted to do something anyway. But even then she was usually willing to compromise. Stretching in the chair, he exhaled loudly before getting up. They had things to do today, after all. And if they got done fast enough, he had a little surprise planned. Smirking, he popped his neck before heading into the kitchen. Her reaction to his surprise would definitely be interesting. Here's hoping all will go well.
Koneko101- Once again not too fond of the ending, but it's better than nothing. Hope ya'll enjoy it!
