So fall when you're ready baby
Let our kiss count the moments and hearts set the pace
I'll be your love song and I'll love you right off your feet
Until you fall into me
Fall Into Me- Brantley Gilbert

Bella gasped and woke herself from her dream. Sam had been laying over her, her legs around his shoulders as he slammed his hips into her welcoming heat. She frowned at the sight of rain outside her bedroom window. She thought back to three nights ago. She couldn't help the smile on her face at the moment.
The feel of Sam's hands on her waist as he held her still while pointing out her birthday on the calendar, the feel of his hot breath ghosting down the flesh of her neck while his lips barely brushed against the sensitive and tingling skin of her ear. She bit her lip in remembrance of his lips on hers, the way he's shown his dominance over her by forcing her back flush to the wall.
A groan escaped her lips as her body remembered the way he'd felt lying over her on her couch after their friends had gone home. His weight settling against hers was welcomed. She thought about his eyes- glazed with passion and desire. She thought about the feel of his length, hot and hard, wanting and teasing all at the same time as he'd lightly ground their hips together.
Her eyes closed again as her imagination took over. The images of Sam's naked torso were still fresh in her minds eye. Without any conscious thought, her hands began ghosting over her body, much the way Sam had in her dream. Her fingers grazed across her perky nipples, straining to be free of the tight sleep shirt she wore. She let out a quiet shudder as one of her hands moved ever so slowly, inch by torturous inch down her stomach.
Her body thrummed with desire as she thought of Sam's lips dancing over her, grazing the soft skin of her neck with barely there kisses.. Trailing down to her chest, his tongue darting out to tease and torment her straining nipples. She whined when she thought about his lips moving in a central line down her stomach.
Her body shuddered as her fingers slid beneath the band of her sleep shorts. She pictured him hovering above her, his teeth catching on said band before pulling them slowly down her thighs. Lavishing licks and sweet kisses were placed over the flesh of her legs as he crawled back up to her already soaked slit.
Bella's back arched slightly as her fingers made contact with her clit. She imagined his mouth teasing her as the fingers of her other hand barely dipped inside. It was the most well kept secret she possessed. She and Jacob had given themselves their virginity after the first time she'd caught Edward cheating on her. She'd been crying… crying led to cuddling… cuddling led to slow kisses… that led to other things.
There'd been no regrets and their friendship had only gotten stronger.
Now though, as she dipped her fingers inside of herself, she thought of Sam. His muscular body hovering over her. His arms caging her to the bed as devoured everything she had to offer. She groaned and quickly bit her lip to keep her voice down. She didn't know if her dad was still home.
Little did she know that the very object of her desire was being let into the house by Charlie as he was leaving for work. "Just go on up, Sam. She's probably still asleep. She doesn't have any classes today and no work either."
"Thanks Charlie." Sam grinned, waving him off.
Bella heard her dad's cruiser pull out of the driveway and let a small grin leave her lips. She'd dodged a very embarrassing bullet on that one. Not to say she was loud, but she really didn't want her father to over hear what she did when the door was closed.
"Sam…."
Sam's eyebrow arched. Had she seen his truck? She sounded… off. He pressed his ear to the door, startling when it opened slightly. It hadn't even been closed all the way. He heard another breathless sigh, another whisper of his name escaping her lips and had to fight back his own echoing groan.
"Sam! Please…"
A shiver ran down his spine. Was she… he pushed the door open a little wider. Oh god, she was. He felt his jeans tighten almost painfully as he watched her back arch in pleasure. He knew it was wrong to watch, but he couldn't help himself. She was so sexy.
He bit his lip to keep the groan from escaping as he palmed his throbbing cock through his jeans. There was no way he'd be able to hide this from her. Her whimpers and groans, the breathless pleas and pants for more were heading straight to his already steel hard dick.
"SAM!"
A shiver raced down his spine as he listened to her scream his name. he'd never seen a more gorgeous sight. Her orgasm had taken her into a world of bliss and as she fell back to the mattress, a content smile graced her lips. He swallowed thickly and made his way quietly back downstairs. He'd give her a few minutes before bringing to attention he was here.
Sam didn't have to wait long. Ten minutes later found Bella dressed in a pair of curve hugging, low rise dark washed denim jeans and a solid black, almost second skin tight, sleeveless black shirt. She startled momentarily when she saw Sam sitting in her living room- seemingly asleep- before making her way slowly to him.
When she was close enough, she could see that he was wide awake and was currently rubbing his hand over his very prominent cloth covered erection. Had he heard her? Had he SEEN her?
"Hey Sam!" She chirped happily.
Sam jumped. "Hey Bella…"
Bella grinned at him. "You ok? You seem a little jumpy."
"No, I'm alright." He very nearly came in his jeans at the sight of her before him. "You look good, girl." He mused.
She grinned. "Thanks. You don't look too bad yourself, cowboy."
It was Sam's turn to grin. "I know I promised you we'd go out all day today… but I forgot about the rain.. So… I was going to come and see if you wanted to hang out somewhere until tonight when I take you out to dinner."
Bella motioned for them to head into the kitchen so she could make them coffee. "Sounds good. What do you want to do?" She asked while it was making.
'You?' He mused before the thought was shoved to a back corner of his mind. "How about I kick your ass in a game of call of duty?"
Bella grinned. "You're so going down. Come get your coffee, it's ready." She said before turning to find he'd backed her into the counter top.
Her eyes shyly met his. He watched her draw her lip into her mouth, her teeth nibbling on the soft flesh. "I'd be more than willing to go down." He promised, his eyes smoldering with passion.
She gasped as he invaded her personal space even more. Their lips met with ill hidden desire being pushed into the kiss from both of them. Her hands moved to card through his hair as he grabbed her by her waist to sit her on the counter. Her legs wrapped around his waist causing a groan to escape his lips.
When the kiss broke so they could breathe, his name was whispered from her lips, hitting his ear and sending shivers down his spine to pool like liquid fire in the pit of his belly. He had to control himself before he took her in her father's kitchen. But it was so hard when she was releasing little mewling whimpers and pleas.
"Sam… please…"
"Please what, Bella." He almost growled.
Bella whined. "Please… Sam…I…"
Sam's hand fisted in her hair, dragging their lips back together as he pushed his hips rhythmically into hers. They were on the verge of a much needed release. The waves of nirvana were building higher as each of Sam's thrusts became harder. His lust was all consuming as he worked them closer and closer to the edge.
Bella's head fell back and she groaned when she felt his lips dancing over her skin, the way she'd imagined them doing this morning. "Sam…"
"Bella…" His voice was strained as he worked their bodies over the edge. She fell limp against him, her breath leaving her lips in pants of breath. For his part, his arms were braced on either side of her, holding himself up and he let his forehead fall to her shoulder until he could catch the breath attempting to leave his body completely.
He lifted his head to meet her gaze when he felt her gentle fingers raking through his hair. She smiled and he echoed the smile in return. She gave him the briefest of kisses before resting her head in the crook of his neck.
"I'm sorry." He finally whispered. "I really shouldn't have done that… I don't want you to think that's all I came here for… I really like you, I wanted to do this right…I-"
"Sam… hey…" She cut him off with a finger to his lips. "I'm not mad… I've been trying to find a way to tell you I really like you too…. I have for a while… and this…" She motioned her finger between them, "It's nothing to regret."
Sam let out a deep breath. "Wow… I didn't see our morning going like this." He grinned.
"No, I can't imagine you did." She teased. She squealed when Sam bodily lifted her and walked them into the living room.
"Hey… the rain let up!" Bella mused looking out the windows.
Sam grinned. "Wanna go mudding?"
"How about a horseback ride? Embry said I can take Comanche out any time I want…" She grinned.
Sam arched an eyebrow. "Is that right?"
"Yeah. He said Comanche really likes me." Bella grinned.
He moved his fingers to tickle her sides. "Do I have competition from a horse now?" He teased.
She giggled. "Of course not. Comanche is a sweetheart, but I'm a one guy kind of gal." She mused.
Sam tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and smiled. "I think I like that."
She blushed a little causing him to chuckle. "We have to stop up at the house first though. I don't wanna ride with… less than dry jeans." He quipped. With a few more giggles, kisses and sweet words about her gorgeous appearance, Bella and Sam were climbing into his truck. Bella only grinned. She loved his truck.

Edward sneered when he saw Jared and Paul walking into the local diner. He'd been sitting in the back corner booth and hadn't been seen by the two just yet. They were casually talking to the waitress and just as casually following along after her. He couldn't help but take in the way they seemed to anticipate the other's moves. He mused it came from years of not only growing up together, but working together on a ranch. Sometimes things were just easier that way.
The scathing remarks poised to fall from his lips towards them fell short when he heard Jared talking about Sam and Bella. They'd gone for a trail ride down one of the lesser used trails on his property. Jared was worried. Snakes were abundant in the tall grasses.
Edward smirked. The ultimate payback if you will. Horses didn't like snakes. He slipped out to hunt down one of the local boys who owed him a favor still.
"Ben… just the person I wanted to see." He grinned. "How's Tia?" He asked the tan boy.
Benjamin narrowed his eyes. "She's fine… what do you need?"
"I'm calling in my favor. Now… I know you like to play with snakes… odd as it is, you've never been bit and you're pretty good at finding them as well."
Ben nodded. "Yeah… I found a couple big canebrake rattlesnakes the other day."
"Good… I'll pay you to follow after Sam Uley and his new little harlot, Bella Swan. When you're close enough, I want you to let the snakes go."
Benjamin arched an eyebrow but shrugged and took the offered 50 bucks from Edward's hands. There were worse ways to earn some easy money.

Bella arched an eyebrow and shook her head in amusement when Sam led them out to the back trails on his property. His horses loved it this way. So he mused at least. He always found a few out grazing in the tall brush. It'd been a while since he'd let them out to roam, however, due to the spike in coyote activity and the sighting of rattlesnakes as well.
He helped her down from the saddle and grinned before spreading their blanket out to eat. He'd packed them a few sandwiches, a couple of apples, a couple bags of lay's brand wavy chips and a canteen of sweet tea. It wasn't the most romantic thing she'd ever seen- Edward used to try and impress her with dinners that only left her uncomfortable at the end- but it was one of the sweetest.
They had no idea they had been followed and with their little detour it gave Ben ample opportunity to place the hissing snakes on the ground close to the horses. By the time he was gone, Comanche and Apollo, one of the horses used for riding, were already nervous.
"What's up with the horses?" Bella wondered seeing Comanche paw at the ground again for the third time.
Sam brushed his hands off and stood. "Dunno… stay here right quick. I'll check." He said walking slowly over to them.
Bella bit her bottom lip and grinned. His ass in those jeans. It was a sin. She watched him freeze and tilted her head in confusion. Beside him, Apollo and Comanche were snorting in obvious fear. "Sam? You ok?"
"Yeah, it's a snake.. Stay put." He told her.
He didn't have to ask twice. She liked looking at snakes at a distance. Up close was another matter all together. She blamed her friends chasing her with them when she was little. She watched Sam pick up a sturdy stick from the ground and promptly drop it with a quick curse leaving his lips. He'd not seen the second snake.
"Sam!"
By the time Sam got past the bucking and startled horses, he was clutching his hand to his chest. He smiled when he saw that the snakes had been trampled. Bella was quick to calm the horses down and even quicker to pull Sam's shirt from his body. She used it as a make shift field tourniquet before helping him into his saddle. She wasn't a cops daughter for nothing. She flung the blanket onto the fence, dumped the dishes into a pile under it and grabbed up one of the trampled snakes.
"Smart woman." Sam quipped.
"They'll probably want it. You sure you're ok to ride?" She checked.
"I've been bit a couple times. I'm usually on Jessup though. I can't believe these two stayed as calm as they did." He said patting Apollo's neck.
"Maybe that's not so fortunate. They didn't know to be scared. Sure they were leery… not scared." Bella told him as they rode back.
Sam only groaned as his arm began to throb. With Bella's quick thinking the venom wasn't spreading as fast, but the pain was intensifying. He'd need medical attention soon or he'd be in for a world of trouble.
The last thought that crossed his mind when they finally made it back to his house was that their date had been ruined in some ways and gone amazing in others. They'd admitted they liked each other. Now all they had to do was take the next step and Sam would have to ask her to be his officially. He sighed and allowed his dad to help him out of the saddle. An ambulance was on it's way and Bella told him she was staying by his side until asked to leave.
He only grinned. She was definitely a spit fire. And she was well on the way to becoming his.
