Jared's POV

When they arrived at his house, Jared entered first just to check that there weren't any surprises waiting for them. He smelled the place, and no trace of leeches was evident.

"Come on in Bella." He said, and when she entered he saw a slight frown on her forehead. "What is it?"

She turned to look at him, and blushed. "Sorry, I was just recalling what happened after the dance... The place is nice… it's just… well, has Kim been here often?"

Jared understood what she wanted to say, he walked towards her and put and arm around her shoulders. "We'll should paint the place, rearrange some furniture and make it more our place. What do you say?"

Bella smiled, and he could tell that she was relieved. "Thank you Jared, you're an amazing boyfriend."

"Soon to be husband." He whispered, and she shivered. He liked that he had this effect on her. "So, not to be too curious, but what happened in the kitchen? I couldn't hear anything; Selina was asking me so many questions that I couldn't focus at all on your conversation. I hope that my mom was at least nice to you."

Bella snuggled closer to him, and as usual he saw her breathing him in. Probably his scent calmed and reassured her as much as hers did with him. "I just told her that I love you, and that I was only asking for a chance to prove her that I could take care of you. We discussed briefly my history with Edward… and then she seemed to understand where I was coming from. I can definitely sympathize with her, it must have been difficult."

Jared nodded. "I guess part of her will always wonder how it would have been if my father has stayed. Do you? Do you wonder how your life could have been with Edward?"

Bella bit her lip nervously, and then shrugged her shoulders. "Honestly, I think I might have been happy with him. But what I have with you… it's so much more than I could ever dream, I don't have to die, or give up my family and my friends to be with you. And I like how sometimes you lose control; I like the wolf as much as the human part of you."

Jared was touched by her words; she really understood him and the dichotomy of his personality. While the human part was a laid back and sometimes funny; the animal one was darker and the pain of losing a mate had hardened him some. "What do you say if we go to bed?"

She turned to look at him and seriously said, "Only if you promise me to make love to me."

Jared was shocked, and pleased at the same time. "We could wait until you move in."

Bella shook her head. "I'm done waiting, we only have one life and I want to live to the fullest. Please show me how much you love me."

He took a deep breath and then took her hand, she was trembling slightly, but he knew that she wanted to be his. And he wanted her far too much to refuse what she was offering.

He led her into his bedroom and laid her down on the bed.

Bella was staring at him, her eyes shone with trust and love. The wolf wanted nothing more than rip her clothes off and have his way with her; but his healthier and saner side was still prevailing. He leaned over her, resting his weight on his forearms, hovering over her body, kissing her lips at a slow, sensual pace. She followed his lead kissing him back; knowing that she desired him as well was the best feeling in the world.

He didn't want to scare her by moving at a faster pace than she was comfortable with; he kept repeating in his mind slow, for her.

Jared brushed his lips against her jaw, down her neck; then placed wet, open mouthed kisses on her collarbone. She still had her clothes on, so he put his hands on the hem of her t-shirt and started to pull it up. Her heartbeat increased, he looked into her eyes; she was getting nervous. "Bella, is everything okay? Am I rushing things?" He asked, while his wolf, who was tightly caged in, was snarling demanding that he speed up the whole thing.

"No… I'm just… it's nothing really. It's all so overwhelming, to think that I'm finally going to be yours." She whispered her cheeks redder than usual.

"Don't worry I'll take good care of you. "He smiled at her and let the hem go, and instead went back to kissing her lush lips. Bella melted into him as soon as his lips touched hers. A sweet little moan escaped her when his tongue slipped into her mouth, twisting with hers. He groaned when her fingers scraped his scalp, pulling him closer.

Her rough behavior stirred his wolf; he always knew she liked that side of him. Erotic images of everything that he wanted to do to her flooded his mind. The inner war began, man against the wolf, and both wanted to be considerably more aggressive with their mate. Jared decided to test the waters... see how much of his aggressive side his Isabella could take.

Jared tore his lips away from hers, "Do you like this?" He growled in her ear, she shook her head. He held onto her shirt, and then ripped it in half. Her eyes widened at the forceful gesture; however he knew she wasn't scared, in fact he could smell how wet it made her. Jared further realized right then and there, that she was perfect for him. Bella wouldn't cower from him, and she would enjoy everything that he planned for tonight.

He pulled the remnants off her shirt away from her body, and gave her an eye-fuck that left her panting from its intensity. The simple black bra contrasting against her milky skin was magnificent; in that moment his need for her doubled. "God Isabella, you have no idea how much I want you. You're gorgeous."

Jared growled and then continued kissing her, eliciting soft moans from her; he trailed his kisses down her neck once again. When he reached the top of her bra, he dragged his tongue across the top of her breast, then placed his hand behind her and unhooked it.

"You're really perfect Bella," he told her, because she was. Absolutely stunning. Her smell and her skin were two things he always found intriguing, even before she was his.

Her blush deepened, he lowered his mouth to her nipple, she arched her back, moaning loudly as his tongue swirled around it. After taking his time on each of her tantalizing nipples, he caught the sweet, mouthwatering scent of her arousal; he almost went wild. Jared was still wearing all of his clothes while Bella was just wearing jeans and panties. He discarded his shirt, Bella's hands timidly touched his abs; her feather light touches made him growl, he was more than ready to make her his. Her innocence was something that drove him even crazier about her; she was a mix of everything he found fascinating in a woman.

"Jared… tell me what to do. I want you, I want all of you." She whispered, but the spark in her eyes contrasted the shyness that usually poured from her. She was getting bolder, and he loved it.

He leaned back and stood near the front of the bed; Bella looked at him curiously. Jared grabbed the bottom of her jeans and discarded them with a swift pull. He crumbled them on the floor, and kneeled in front of her. She had no idea what she did to him, just looking at her caused the blood in his veins to boil over with ravenous want.

He put his hands around both her ankles and yanked her down toward him, then rested her thighs on his shoulders. Her breath hitched, and her thighs shook with excitement. Jared tugged her panties aside, the scent of her filling his lungs; the heady, musky perfume of her arousal making him feel light headed. Jared leaned in, and flicked his tongue over her clit. More, his wolf growled hungrily and for once Jared agreed with his desire.

"Oh, yes." Bella cried out as his tongue slid down the length of her lips in a gentle caress, followed by a harder lick that pressed between her folds. Her hands moved to the back of his head, her muscles tightened to lift herself toward him. Intoxicated by the scent and taste of her, Jared devoured her. The moans and whimpers escaping her lips were like music, and the feeling of her folds twitching beneath his tongue like heaven. He was drunk off Bella's flavor, greedily lapping every drop of her sweet juices.

"Don't stop… So good." She let out long moans when he sucked her clit with fervor. Her body writhed as she edged closer to climax, the sounds of her sexy voice growing louder with each breath.

She began to jerk and pant, the sweet tang of her juices increasing. "Jared! I'm gonna-" Bella sucked in a breath, unable to finish, and screamed as she came. Her fingers dug into the back of his neck pressing him hard against her. The screams changed to whimpers as he continued to drink the flow of nectar, another orgasm tearing through her. He relented only when her sounds of ecstasy took on a slightly pained edge. A violent tremor quaked her body, accompanied by a loud warbled moan.

When she finally caught her breath, her eyes fluttered opened and she let out a satisfied sigh. Jared unbuttoned his pants, peeling them off along with his boxers, and lay on the bed next to her. "Take off your panties Isabella." She nibbled on her lip, then stood up and slid her panties down in a sensual, hip swaying dance. Wearing a sexy smile, Bella crawled up the bed and straddled his thighs. A concentrated dose of her essence made his nostrils flare. His chest vibrated as he growled at his mate, he needed to claim her.

Jared leered at Bella, "You'll have to come and get me if you want me Isabella."

The way he spoke seemed to turn her on even more. He knew that she loved it when he was aggressive with her. Jared didn't treat her like she was a porcelain doll like the leech did, he treated her like the woman that she was.

Bella moved up until she was squatting over him, then she took hold of his hot length in her hand and lowered herself, sinking down on him. Her velvety soft walls contracted tight around him as he split her innocent barrier. She sucked in a breath through her teeth, hissing in pain.

Jared waited until she settled on top of him, her eyes pinched closed, her little pink tongue licking her lips. She was even tighter, hotter, and wetter than he imagined.

After her discomfort subsided, she wriggled her hips, pumped her knees and started to ride him. Jared let out a stuttering groan as he slid in and out of her, his moans accompanied her vocalizations of pleasure. He reached one hand up to squeeze her breast and put the other hand between her legs, his fingers finding her swollen nub.

"You feel so good," Bella said as she bounced harder, instinct driving her as she rode him with wild abandon; his fingers steadily stroked her throbbing clit. She held her breath for a beat then threw her head back as she came and screamed. Jared breathed hard between his clenched teeth as her walls tightened around him almost painfully. Several more screams erupted from her as she continued to come; her body eventually limped and collapsed on top of him.

Jared waited until her erratic breathing returned to a semi-normal rate; he was still hard, throbbing inside her. "Get ready," and with that he sat up, easily holding her weight in his arms, then turned them so she was lying on her back.

Jared leaned up, pressing himself further inside her, and grasped the headboard with both hands. He thrust into her once, stretching her a bit more, then took her hard and fast. Their sweaty bodies collided combining with the sounds of him slamming into her. He grunted and growled.

Bella was watching him intently and he was watching her back, it was amazing to see her expression changing every time he changed the angle and hit a different pleasurable spot inside her. Again Bella screamed her orgasm until she ran out of breath, ending in a squeak, and still he continued pounding in her depths.

Jared released the headboard and leaned down, hovering his lips over her neck. His hips slammed harder into her, it all felt so good, she felt so fucking good. He licked the side of her neck once, feeling her moan and shiver under him, then he bit his mark again. Bella reached up and pulled his hair as hard as she could, wrapping her legs around his waist, letting out a strained groan. The slight change in angle made him gasp out loud followed by several clipped grunts as he reached the point of no return.

Bella's head thrashed on the pillow, her hair sticking to her sweat dampened face as Jared pounded into her erratically, he was close. His hips lost their rhythm for a beat, then he drove into her as hard as he could one last time with a great roar.

They both fought to catch their breath, their overheated bodies still tangled together. After some time passed, he rolled onto his side and took her with him; she rested her head on his chest, lovingly caressing his torso. "That was so intense and amazing Jared. I loved it, I love you so much."

"I love you too Bella." He told her, and they cuddled together until she fell asleep. He held her a little longer, feeling her breathing getting steady. He could get used to falling asleep like this; Bella in his arms, in his home, waking up next to her.
