Bella drew back slowly, still holding his face, and tilted her head so their foreheads were touching. Jacob's lips continued searching for hers in the seconds before his eyes flickered open to see her biting her lip, as though holding back a grin.
"What?" he asked in a low voice, trying to kiss her again.
"You're a very slobbery kisser, Jake," she said, finally letting a giggle pass her lips,as she pressed a finger to his, 'in fact, you're a terrible kisser..."
Jake raised an eyebrow, "Sorry Bella...didn't realise the bloodsucker was that great. Not my fault I haven't practiced as much as you." He wished he hadn't brought Edward into it as soon as the words were spoken. Luckily, Bella didn't seem to notice as she pressing little kisses onto his cheeks.
"Well..I can teach you." She said. It wasn't a query as to whether he wanted her to teach him. It was a statement.
"Alright." Jacob said softly, pressing his lips to again for a few seconds before she started giggling into his mouth. "Right, Bella Swann..." He wrapped his arms round her in a bear hug and began to tickle her fiercely. When she'd begged for him to stop, and sworn to stop teasing him for the time being at least, he loosened his hold slightly but kept her tight against him.
He breathed in her scent, which was as familiar to him as his own. He'd kept it locked away in his memory, as a comfort rather than anything else, and now he had the real thing a small smile stayed on his lips as he pressed them into her hair.
Bella sighed softly, clinging to the arms that embraced her.
"This is so easy, Jake. To just lie here." She closed her eyes, "Sorry I teased you about your dog like kissing though."
Jacob laughed then, "Bells, I'm a wolfman...what do you expect me to kiss like if I've never kissed properly before.."
"True..." Bella yawned.
"Go back to sleep, Bells. It's still early..." Jacob said gently. He didn't mention her wedding that afternoon; he didn't want to remind himself, never mind Bella. Jacob knew that as soon as the light of dawn began streaming through the window, there'd be decisions made. He pressed his lips to Bella's head once more, as she seemed to have fallen effortlessly back into sleep, and shut his own eyes. The morning was going to come too soon for everyone.
