PAUL POV

"Stay with me tonight." I said

"Huh." she said looking up at me.

"Here…stay the night here tonight…..with me." I rushed

I noticed her hesitate a little, and I knew what she was thinking.

"We don't have to do anything Bella. I just want you to stay with me tonight."

"Yeah…sure" She said after a few moments. "Let me just call my dad and let him know."

She finished washing the plate in her hand and reached for the towel laying next to the sink. Drying her hands, while walking to her bag, she picked in up quickly and left the room.

The last six weeks I've noticed a change in Bella. She's opening up more and letting people in. Out on patrol, I'm constantly getting visuals from the other guys, and I'm genuinely happy to see that she's doing better. The only problem…I'm starting to get worst. When I cant seem to get enough of her. When I'm on patrol, I ache to be where she is. I've found myself sitting just behind the trees behind her house. The guys are giving me hell, but I cant seem to help it. Every day it gets worse.

I've been sleeping in her house, in her bed with her just about every night. And I'm not ashamed to say that I wouldn't mind doing that every night for the rest of my life. I love waking up to Bella sleeping next to me. Using my arm as her pillow. Her hair splayed across my chest. Half the time I say to myself…fuck patrol… just so I can lay there and watch her sleep, but Charlie would come in and make my ass get up. The one thing I notice most though, is when I start touching her….she shuts down.

"What's got you thinking so hard?"

"You". I said honestly with a smile on my face, and she giggled.

" I talked to Charlie. I told him I was staying the night, and I'd be back sometime tomorrow." She said shifting from one foot to the other.

"Bella? What's wrong?" I said. She only acts like this when she's got something on her mind.

"I was just wondering…." she started and stopped.

"Wondering what?" I asked.

"Do you remember when you said you'd show me you in wolf form?" she asked. I knew where this was going.

"Yes…" I said dragging out.

"Well I was wondering if maybe….if you'd…if maybe you'd let me see you." she asked. I don't know how I hid my smile.

"You want to see my wolf?"

I moved closer to her and grabbed her hand. Pulling her towards the back door.

"Where are we going?"

"Well you wanted to see the wolf , I cant phase inside and risk hurting you, or breaking something…so come on." I said pulling her out the door.

When I made it to the forest, I pulled her in a few feet, then turned to look at her.

"Bella I need you to stay here for a second so I can go phase."

"Okay."

I gave her a quick kiss, then walked out of her line of sight. Taking my shorts off, I laid them on the ground, and phased.

"What's up Paul?.. I thought you and Bella were hanging out tonight." Quil said.

"Oh …. Oh never mind good luck with that." He said again when he saw in my head what I was doing.

I turned to walk back to where Bella was standing. When I locked eyes with her I didn't move. I didn't want to scare her.

"Paul?" she asked

I nodded.

"Your silver."

I nodded again, and she started walking closer to me with her hand out, palm up. Like I was going to sniff it, causing Quil, Jared and Sam to snort and start chuckling.

When she finally made it to me, she reached her other hand out and stroked me from the top of my head, and down my back to right between my shoulder blades. I stuck my tongue out and lapped it up her face from her jaw to her hairline.

"Eww…gross." She said wiping her face on the back of her arm, making me laugh.

She sat down slowly, so I inched closer and laid down, and put my head in her lap. After a few minutes of her watching, she reached out and started petting me again.

I'm sure the guys are going to give me hell for this later, I was thinking to myself.

"You know it." Jared said.

"Oh shut the fuck up…you were worst with Kim." I though back.

"Well…you gave me a bunch of shit for it then…. Paybacks a bitch."

"Paul?" I heard Bella say.

I looked up and nodded for her to continue.

"You know your a lot cuter in wolf form." She said giggling.

"Oh…Burn…!" I heard from Quil.

"So, never going to live this down." Jared thought.

"Oh shut the hell up." I thought to the both of them, only getting them to laugh harder.

"Hell no… keep baiting her, so she'll bash you some more." Quil thought.

I quickly got up, and licked her face again, then turned and walked back to the tree, where my shorts were.

"Hey Quil." I thought.

"What?"

"I'm telling Bella."

I quickly phased back before he could say anything.

"Cuter as a wolf huh?" I asked making my way back to her.

"I was only playing, Paul." she said laughing.

"Yeah Quil thought it was funny too." I said smiling.

"Oh really?"

"Uh-huh."

"Want to get him back?" She asked.

"How?"

She turned and walked away from me, scanning the ground for something.

"Ah-ha." She said, as she leaned over and picked up a large stick.

"Watch."

"QUIL?" she screamed, yelling into the woods. "I KNOW YOUR OUT THERE. COME HERE."

A few minutes later a dark chocolate colored brown wolf, Quil, slowly made his way over to where Bella was standing. His face hanging low. She stared him down quickly, and then turned to me.

"Your definitely cuter."

Quil snorted, and I started laughing. Bella turned back to him, and raised the stick and started shaking it back in forth in front of him.

"Here boy…. Here it is…. Fetch." and she threw it into the woods.

Quil turned quickly and went after it.

"Okay lets go back inside.." she said walking back over to me.

"How was that getting him back?" I asked.

"Well now, the other guys will see that, and be picking at him." And I laughed.

"How about a movie or something." I asked, walking back towards the house.

"Sounds good."

We went back inside, Bella went into the kitchen to grab a couple drinks while I put the movie in. And we sat together comfortably watching it.

By the time the movie was over, it was getting kind of late, so we decided to head up to bed. She asked to barrow a pair of shorts and a t-shirt, and I grabbed myself a pair of shorts. After giving them to her I left the room and went into the bathroom to give her a little privacy.

When I finished changing I went back to the bedroom and knocked….yes knocked on my own door, before opening and moving inside. Man what the fuck is she doing to me.

She was already in bed when I went in, so I walked around to the other side and climbed in next to her. She curled up next to me, and laid her head on my chest. Laying there, something occurred to me.

"Bella?"

"Hmm?"

"You saw my wolf today." I said hoping that my next question wouldn't make her run for the door.

"Yeah…"

"Can I see your tattoo?"

She pulled herself off of me and looked down into my eyes….Fuck she's going to run.

"Close your eyes." …..she said after a few minutes, her voice shaky.

I closed my eyes, and then felt her hand in front of my face, probably seeing if I was peeking. Then I felt the bed shift.

"Bella?"

"You can open them now." I heard and I slowly opened my eyes.

I was amazed at what I saw.

She was sitting by my knees, facing the end of the bed, her bra the only clothing across her open back. She was clutching her shirt in front of her. Her breathing heavy. I knew it took a lot for her to do this, and I'm not lying when I say that I was overjoyed that she let down one of her walls.

The tattoo was like none I've ever seen before. It started at her left shoulder and ran the length of her back, ending under the hem line of the shorts, near her right him. Its long wings spread wide in an amazing pattern of red's and greens'. Orange flames where in the background, symbolizing its rebirth.

"Wow." was the only thing I could think to say.

When I continued to take in the amazing expanse of Bella's back, I noticed a faint ending of a scar on her left side. Taking my chances I sap up slowly and lightly traced what I could see of it with my finger. She flinched.

"Does it still hurt?" I asked.

She turned her head to look in my eyes.

"Not anymore." she replied

"Lay down Bella." I said, trying to think on how I was going to do this. She needed to know that I wasn't going anywhere because of some scars.

She shifted a little bit but began to slowly lie back down, still holding on to her shirt. Like it was a lifeline.

"You'd know I'd never hurt you." I whispered reaching for her shirt.

"I know."

Still gazing into her eyes, I slowly began to pull the shirt away. She resisted a little, but then closed her eyes and let her arms fall to the side.

I let my eyes drop from her face, to take her all in. Yeah, there were scars, lots of them scattered all over her torso. And it did make me even more angry at the sick fuck that put her through this, but they didn't take anything away from her. If anything it made me realize, how strong she really was. Stronger than anyone I've ever known.

"Beautiful" I mumbled, tracing one of the marks that went from right below her right breast to her belly button.

"Beautiful? Are you looking at the same thing I see everyday?" She said pointing to her stomach.

"I see them, but I also see you. These…." I said tracing another one. "Only help me realize what you've overcome, and that makes me love you even more."

Fuck there goes my filter.

"You love me?" She asked…

"Yes Bella, I love you. I love you so much it hurts to be away from you. It hurts to know someone did this to you." I said not really caring how cheesy I sounded.

"Paul?" Bella asked when I looked away after my confession. " I love you."

I slowly brought my eyes back up to meet hers again, and lifted my hand to wipe away the tear that fell from the corner of her eye.

"Kiss me." She whispered. And who in the hell was I do deny her anything.

She reached her hand up and wrapped it around the back of my neck, pulling me down to her.

I brought my face down to meet hers, our lips meeting. It was soft at first, but then she parted her lips and brushed mine with the tip of her tongue. The fire began to roar. I pushed myself harder into her, and let my tongue slip out to meet hers. I needed more. Battling for dominance I moved off of her so I was laying on my side and brought her with me.

A few minutes later I released her lips and she groaned in disapproval, which only encouraged me more. Starting at the corner of her mouth I started at trail of soft kissed to her ear. I nibbled lightly, and then continued down her neck. Her breathing increased, and she started trembling lightly. Continuing the decent on her neck , I stopped every so often, to savor the flavor of her. The taste intoxicating. My hands were moving at there own accord. Like they had a mind of her own. Starting on her stomach, then moving down to her waist. Feeling her. She was so soft. I was finding it hard to control myself.

"Bella, this has to go." I whispered when my hand moved back up to her breast, running my hand under the offending material of the bra.

Her hooded eyes never left mine, as she sat up and reached around to unclasp the straps. She let the material slowly fall. Fuck she was gorgeous. Her breasts weren't large, but they were enough to fit in my hand.

"God give me the strength." I said as I sat up and pushed her back down on the bed.

Leaning over her I pressed my lips against her throat, flicking my tongue out to taste her again.

"You're perfect." I whispered.

Laying my hand back on her stomach I slowly glided my hand up to cup her right breast. When she arched, pushing herself more into me, I knew she was enjoying this as much as me.

My mouth started moving lower and lower, stopping every so often to flick my tongue out or nibble, causing her to groan in anticipation. Urging me to do more.

When my lips finally made it to her breast, I lightly flicked my tongue over the hardened nub causing her to flinch.

"Paul?" She groaned out.

"What Bella?…Tell me what you need." I said continuing my slow torture.

"Please…"

"Please what Bella?…tell me…." I said sucking her hardened nipple fully into my mouth, circling and flicking it with my tongue.

"I need.."

"What Bella?… Tell me." I loved that I was making her this way. She wanted me. But I needed her to tell me, I didn't want to push her.

"You…I need you."

Slowly I moved my hand away from her other breast and moved it lower. Stopping at the waistband of her shorts. I let my hand slide just under the elastic, my fingers lightly dancing from him to him. I was fucking torturing myself.

"Are you sure?" I asked. Please don't let her back out now.

"Y…Yes!" She panted

I released her breast from my mouth, and started moving down her body, stopping to trail my tongue around her belly button. Bringing my other hand down I reached for the waist of her shorts.

'Lift up Bella." I whispered .

Pulling her shorts and panties down in one fluid motion I was hit full force with her arousal. Fuck how am I going to make it through this.

I stood up quickly never taking my eyes off of her, and pulled my shorts down. Sitting on the edge of the bed I reached for her leg.

Starting at her ankle. I slowly kissed lightly, moving inch by inch up her leg. I wanted this to last. My cock was painfully hard, but I needed this to last.

When I finally reached her thigh, I switched , and started my ministrations on her other leg. My hands gently massaging her hips.

Reaching the inner thigh, I stopped briefly to gage her reaction of my torment. Her lips were parted, her head thrashing, back and forth, and her breathing was ragged.

"Look at me Bella.." I said, and when her eyes locked onto mine, I lowered myself completely. Running my tongue from her dripping entrance to her swollen pink nub.

She started bucking her hips wildly, so I wrapped my arm around her waist to hold her still.

"You taste so good." I said circling and flicking my tongue over her softness.

"Ugh…fuck…I need more…Paul…Please."

Starting at her knee I gently massaged small circles up her leg. Reaching its destination, I slowly slid one finger into her.

"Fuck, that feels so good Paul…don't stop." She panted.

"Cum for me Bella." I said pumping her with my finger and licking her swollen nub. I felt her walls begin to he clench around me. I removed my hand , and quickly replaced it with my tongue, mimicking what I was doing with my finger. I moved my hand up and pinched her clit lightly, sending her over the edge.

"Oh god… oh god… oh god…" she screamed out, thrashing back and forth….

"You taste so fucking good Bella." Lapping up all that she offered.

"Mmm." She said coming down from her momentary high.

I gave her one more quick kiss on her swollen clit, and started moving back up her body. Stopping here and there to kiss the exposed skin.

When I made it make up she grabbed my head and held it, while she licked her juices from around my lips, causing my dick to twitch and jump. It was just so fucking sexy.

She slowly ran her hand down my chest, moving lower and lower, which felt fucking amazing, sending liquid fire right to my hardened member.

When she reached my stiff cock, she gasped and I moaned, my head dropping down to her shoulder. She wrapped her hand around it and started moving…from the base to the tip…over and over… fucking torture. But it felt so fucking good.

"Ugh Bella."

I had to stop her though. Their was no fucking way I was cumming in her hand. And if she didn't stop soon, I didn't have another choice but too.

"Bell…" she kept moving. "Bella…baby stop." I said reaching my hand down to stop her.

"Is everything okay?" she asked…worry in her voice.

"Yeah baby…. But I need to be in you." I said reaching over to the bedside table. Opening the draw I found what I was looking for, opened it quickly with my teeth and threw the wrapper…somewhere…, and rolled the condom on.

Moving slowly, I parted her thighs and positioned myself in-between. Rubbing the head of my swollen member up and down the her wet opening. I leaned down and kissed her lightly, and started pushing into her, inch by agonizing inch.

"So fucking tight…. Ugh…so wet.." I said when I pushed myself in as far as I could go.

She wrapped her legs around my waist, bringing her hips up to meet mine, which made me go even deeper.

"Fuck, Bella."

She started moving her hips, encouraging to me to start moving, and I did, picking up pace, I started pumping. She matched each one of my thrusts with her own. And I was silently praying not to blow my load to early.

"Fuck ….Paul…feels so good." She panted out, which of course went strait to my cock.

"I'm not going to last long Bella…. I …need you…to..cum with me."

Pumping even harder, I reached between our bodies, and lightly pinched her clit. Her walls almost instantly clamping down around me. Her nails were digging into my back, as she tried to pull me closer to her.

"Ugh…PAUL." she screamed.

"Fuck…Bella." I groaned falling over the edge with her.

I collapsed on top of her, bracing my weight on my arms, and kissed her head.

"I love you Bella…so much." I panted out.

"I love you too." She whispered.

"I'm going to go clean up." I said rolling off of her.

Walking into the bathroom, I took the condom off and threw it in the garbage, and grabbed a washcloth to wipe myself clean. When I finished up I rinsed it off and went back into the bedroom. When I made it to the bed I heard the even breathing of Bella. She was asleep. Climbing in I wrapped my arm around her, pulling her into my side. I closed my eyes, and drifted off, dreaming of Bella.

This was my first attempt at a lemon…. I hope I did it justice. Please Review.
