Chapter Twenty Six
Just as he'd said, Jake hadn't returned until late after Bella had gone to bed. When she'd woken up in the morning she couldn't recall when he had snuck back into the cottage last night and wrapped himself around her in bed. He was now sprawled heavily on his stomach, his right arm thrown over her waist, pinning her to the sheets while his leg was draped over her thighs. It appeared that she would not be going anywhere anytime soon.
And so she let herself drift back into sleep as the sky behind the cover of clouds grew lighter as the day got later. Jake's heat acted almost like an invisible shield against all thoughts of starting this day. She found that she was more than content to remain in bed with her Jake all day. And then, the peace was interrupted by the shrill ringing of Jake's cell phone. Dazed and heavy with sleep, Bella rolled over onto her stomach and attempted to slip back into sleep while she heard Jake groan and shuffle around the room looking for his cell phone.
"Hello?" she heard his voice ask, rough and thick with sleep. It was a very attractive voice, she found.
"Yeah, I was being serious about doing it as soon as possible. I'd rather get it out of the way... I told you, it wasn't my idea, it was Bella's... Yeah, I know she is... Alright, we'll be there soon... Bye."
Bella heard the phone flip shut and she nestled into the soft sheets of the bed, waiting for Jake to return to her. Instead of feeling his body beside hers once again she jumped from surprise when she felt his lips at the small of her back. Breathing in deeply, she felt them continue a trail of scorching, open mouthed kisses up her naked flesh. Shivering, she let out a soft moan, and felt the curve of Jake's lips against her.
"It's time to wake up, honey," he whispered to her as his lips left and his fingers trailed up from her ankles, to the back of her calves and then to her thighs.
"What time is it?" she asked in a groggy voice. Blushing, she raised her head and pushed her hair away from her face. Behind her, Jake knelt with one knee on the bed, staring down at her with a warm smile.
"Time to get up," he replied with a smile.
"But I'm still tired," Bella sighed. It was only after the words left her mouth that she instantly felt embarrassed because of how whiny and petulant they sounded. Wasn't she supposed to be the older one in this relationship?
"I know, my love, but we have to meet with the pack. We're meeting with the Cullens tonight and everyone needs to understand the plan," he said to her and while she was excited that she would soon be getting answers, the only reply out of her mouth was a yawn. Jake's hands rubbed the back of her thighs gently and she hummed in contentment as she nuzzled her face back into the pillows.
Bella felt Jake's hands trail up over her ass and tug her hips so that her body was now face up on the bed, her eyes landing on Jake who had a smirk on his face while his eyes flashed mischievously.
"Do you need some convincing, Bells?" he asked in the dark, bass voice that made another involuntary shiver go up her spine and render her from any and all use of speech. Her eyes widened as she watched him kneel down at the end of the bed.
"I'll take that as a yes," he responded in his growling timbre. Bella's breathing began to grow faster as she felt his hands pull down her underwear, the only article of clothing that she had opted to sleep in, knowing that she'd overheat if she chose anything else with Jake sleeping so close to her.
His eyes never broke contact as they grew hungrier by the second. Like a skilled predator he lured her in with his gaze, soothing her with his gentle caresses back up her legs, all the way to her bare center. She should have been embarrassed by how exposed she was to him, but the only feeling she was capable of at the moment was pure lust. There were no words spoken as she watched his face lower to the soft skin of her thighs. His hands pushed her legs apart, further opening her most intimate part for his eyes. Jake's lips skimmed up her inner thigh, and then skipped directly over where she needed him to her other leg.
A small impatient noise came from her lips as he continued his leisurely kisses up and down both of her legs. Her eyes slipped closed as she tried to enjoy what he was doing to her instead of deciding whether or not to grab his hair and press him against her. For what seemed like ages he did nothing but work her up with his small nips, licks and sucks on the delicate skin of her thighs. She wondered if he was only going to tease her and then make them leave, but then he stopped his kisses.
Her body tensed slightly when she felt his hot breath wash over her lower lips. Quivering with excitement she let out a long moan.
"Jake," she pled breathlessly into the silence around them. It was as if the barrier of control broke, and almost immediately she felt the incredible sensation of his tongue parting her folds. The noises that broke free from her mouth were unlike any she'd made before. His soft, warm tongue set her body on fire as he laid a long lick up her wet flesh. Pulling apart her lips with his fingers his tongue swirled around her delicate, wet flesh, tasting every part of her most intimate part.
She was positive that she'd never expected anything this wonderful in the world. The feeling of his tongue making tight circles around the hardened bud of her clit, sucking the nub into his mouth and rapidly flicking his tongue over it. She was sure that she was going to combust right there on the bed.
His movements alternated from a fast, flicking pattern over her clit, to a slow lick, covering every inch of her soft skin. Her hips jumped off the bed at each change of speed that he made, and eventually he moved both of his hands underneath her body, holding her lower half up off the bed and against his mouth. She could not wriggle away from his relentless ministrations with his tongue and his name tumbled from her lips in pleasure as he continued his assault. She could feel her ecstasy building in the pit of her stomach. His mouth that sucked on her clit, and his tongue that bathed her intimate flesh in searing heat was becoming too much for her to handle.
Her hands found his head and fisted his short, silky hair tightly. She held his face between her legs and focused on the tight feeling that threatened to explode inside of her.
"Come for me, Bells," Jake paused momentarily to speak, still pressed against her flesh. The spring inside of her suddenly loosened rapidly as her body shuddered uncontrollably. The waves of her orgasm flooded through her body, carrying her on a tide as Jake's tongue lapped up every drop of her essence while guiding her down from her highest point. Her breathing was labored and her body still trembled with the force of her pleasure as Jake continued to place kisses and light sucks on her perfectly pink lower lips. It wasn't until her hands tugged forcefully on his hair that he finally relented and crawled up her body, a cocky smile on his face.
"You taste amazing, Bells," he smirked at her and then pressed his lips to her own. As their tongues tangled together she could pick up on the musky taste of herself and find that it didn't really taste that bad.
"I love you," she whispered to him as she broke the kiss and he smiled.
"I love you too."
"Lay down," Bella said suddenly and Jake laughed.
"Bells, we really don't have time," he said and she glared at him.
"You already wouldn't let me repay you before, don't do this again. I said, lay down," she ordered with a glare that would have melted any lesser man. She would be damned if he'd deny her repaying him once again. Jake looked at her for a moment and then shook his head while laying on his back beside her.
"I thought I was the alpha," he muttered to himself, but Bella beamed with satisfaction as she pushed herself up onto her knees and moved to straddle his lower legs. Without wasting any time she pushed down the mesh shorts he'd chosen to sleep in and was greeted with the sight of his throbbing member.
Carefully eyeing it, she crouched down so that her face was directly over it.
"Bells, I said you didn't have to," Jake said softly and she looked up to see his eyes watching her carefully. He was just as nervous as she was. She could see it clear as day.
"Have you ever gotten a blow job before?" she asked him quietly and he shook his head gently. In that moment she was struck by the fact that he was still four years younger than her. He was a teenager still, even if he did look like a grown man. Bella smiled gently at him and leaned her head down to kiss the tip of him. She was rewarded with a pleasure-induced hiss from her Jake, and damn if that sound didn't make her feel like the most powerful woman in the world.
Smirking, Bella lowered her mouth around the tip of him, using her small hand to steady him at the base. Her tongue swirled around him slowly as she began to lower her mouth as far down as she could go. Jake's loud moan seemed to travel straight from his mouth to her core and she found herself getting riled up once again.
Bobbing her head she found a steady rhythm, all while using her tongue to stroke the hot, silky smooth skin of his cock. She could hear his breathing grow heavier as each moment passed and his hands tentatively tangled into her hair. She moaned in approval of this gesture and he groaned in response to the vibrations of her noise. His hands pushed her down a bit on his cock and she relaxed her throat, accepting as much as she could, feeling him stretch her throat.
"Fuck," he cursed harshly he relaxed his hold on her and let her pull up once again. Her tongue worked on him and she looked up at his face under her lashes. Their eyes met and nothing had ever felt more sensual... Well aside from the feeling of him inside of her... Or perhaps his tongue against her...
"Bells," he managed to grit out between his teeth as his eyes clenched shut, cutting off their gaze. Bella moaned again and let her throat relax again, taking him as far as she could. Bobbing steady on his hard member she watched as his mouth slackened and her name was whispered harshly. And then she felt the hot, stickiness of his seed fill her mouth. She swallowed everything he gave her and gently licked his pulsing cock clean. She barely had time to finish when she was yanked up Jake's body by his arms and his hands pushed her face against his.
He kissed her without abandon, pushing his tongue into her mouth and claiming every part of her. Breathless she had to break away, but he continued to kiss every surface of her face. It was tender and passionate, and so incredibly loving.
"That was fucking awesome," he managed to pant out and she smiled through her own heavy breathing.
"I'm glad you approve," she joked lightly and then kissed his lips again.
"Oh, definitely approved of," he responded with a small laugh and she laughed with him. There were no awkward pauses between their moments. They were completely comfortable with one another, and Bella loved every second of it.

When they had arrived at Emily's, Bella was pleased that Jake had slipped his hand so easily into hers as they walked inside. Even from the entryway Bella was overcome with the loud noises of the entire pack being together. Jake's thumb soothingly rubbed against the palm of her hand and he gave her a reassuring smile as they walked into the kitchen.
Every available surface was covered in a hulking, tan body of a werewolf. As usual, the very pregnant Emily was placing food onto the table while the others launched themselves at the newly provided sustenance.
"Hey, Bella! How are you doing?" Embry asked from across the kitchen. This seemed to draw everyone else's attention as they realized that their alpha and his mate had arrived. Bella blushed slightly under the attention, but with Jake's hand in her own she smiled slightly at Embry.
"I'm alright... Just a little shaken. Kind of confused, but I guess that's why I'm here," she responded and Jake spoke immediately after.
"She's right. I want to get straight down to business so there are no questions for tonight," Jake said in his commanding tone. Bella realized that he had gone completely from the tender, incredible man that she had been with last night and had slipped effortlessly into the role of their brave and powerful leader. She smiled to herself with pride at her mate and left his side to sit beside Leah on the end of one of the benches at the table.
Leah said nothing, but instead gave Bella a small smile and dip of her head, which Bella returned as she sat down. The room had grown quieter as the pack's attention shifted to their alpha, waiting for his instructions.
"Clearly we slipped up last night when we let the girl leach get too close to Bella, but we know that she did not attack her, despite the fact she broke the treaty. The plan tonight is to meet the Cullens at the border... With Bella," Jake said, and to Bella it sounded painful for him to even suggest such a thing. Even Emily let out a small squeak from her place in Sam's arms. Bella didn't look at the others who were clearly staring at her, instead she kept her gaze on Jake's face, willing him to understand that she needed to be there, even if he was uncomfortable with the idea.
"Everyone will be phased, five will remain in the main formation that surrounds Bella while she is asking her questions and the remaining three will keep back, waiting as reserves in case this turns out to be a trap. Bella, you remember the conditions?" Jake asked her seriously, meeting her gaze solemnly.
"Yes," she replied with a resolute nod. She would follow everything he'd told her to a tee. She knew that she would be protected well by the pack, but the thought of facing a family of vampires was enough for her to understand that she stood no chance alone if she even put a toe out of line.
"Good. So, I've decided that the main formation will consist of myself, Sam, Paul, Leah, and Jared. Quil, Embry and Seth, you will be waiting in the forest behind us in case we need you," Jake explained and no one seemed to question this.
"And what happens if the Cullens do decide to start a fight?" asked the man named Paul who always seemed to be angry over something. Jake's face was serious for a moment as he looked back at Paul. Everyone waited for his answer, and when Jake finally spoke, his voice was completely absolute.
"Then we rip them apart and burn the pieces."
