A/N: Hello all! I'm very sorry this isn't an update though of sorts, it is. I'm alive! Sorry, I know I've been MIA for so long on this story and you all have been incredibly patient and supportive. I want you to know I am working on it. The rest of the story has been planned out to the last detail; it was when I was really in the throes of first writing it but now it's all been finalized and touched up. It's just a matter of getting it there. While I can't give you a definitive number just yet (the muse tends to break free and go on writing rampages sometimes and things come out of nowhere that I had no idea were even there but she won't give me any peace until I write them out lol), I can say there will be less than 30 chapters. I've posted previews and excerpts in the past, answered questions, etc. And while I can tell you that some have been included in the story and some have been scrapped, I'm afraid I can't tell you which. We'll get there, I promise. =) Speaking of past posted excerpts, some of you might have seen this before. The upcoming cabin chapter(s) might be a bit raunchier than I usually get but Jake did bring a bag full of goodies and Bella did prepare. ;-) So, hope you won't mind. ;-) This scene is definitely being included. ;-) I'm almost there, I'm working hard to get this up ASAP. If I don't get the next chapter up by the end of the summer, feel free to reactivate the Stay With Me Stalkers (*wink wink* you know who you are) and hound me until I do. Again, thank you so much for being so patient and sticking with the story as you have. I apologize for not responding to individual reviews yet but I promise I soon will. I'm catching up. =) I'm grateful to each and every one of you who have shown this story support and love throughout my finding my way with the story's direction. Thank you. x3

Jacob slowly unbuttoned his shirt.

Bella started to breathe faster.

He gave her a hint of that knowing smirk as he continued his work. He reached the last button, teasing it out of its hole.

She couldn't take it anymore. "Jake-"

His right hand immediately flashed up, setting a finger to her lips, silencing her. He trailed it along her bottom lip and when she tried to move forward to take it in her mouth, he retracted it. He ignored her quiet whines and inaudible pleading whimpers, fisting the the ends of his shirt. He stared at her for the longest time. Why was he taking so long?

She cocked her head questioningly and bit her lip.

His eyes darkened and he ripped the shirt open forcefully, drawing a startled gasp from her.

The action had been so sudden, so hot, she uncontrollably dripped onto his jeans.

She felt her cheeks flame slightly when his eyes darted down to the spot that she was sure was now just as wet as she was.

He glanced back up at her and let his gaze slowly rove over her body, drinking in the sight of her body bared before him.

She saw his chest heaving in and out and when he lifted his eyes to her, they were completely black.

"Tell me," His voice sounded gravelly with need. "That you," He gently dragged the pads of his fingers down in between her breasts, stopping right below her bellybutton. "This is mine."

He stared into her eyes imploringly.

"Please."

She couldn't deny the pain she heard in his low whisper. She didn't know what to say. She knew it wasn't fair, to either of them, but most of all him. Her body, her heart, were not wholly hers to give away. There was still someone else that had staked his own claim a while ago. And that fact would not be erased by tonight's passion or the next night's or even the next week's. As much as she wished it could be.

Right now, all she could feel, see, hear, was him. She wanted to be completely dominated by him. She wanted him to make her belong to him, just him. She wanted him to yank her hair roughly, holding her head back as he slammed into her from behind, forcing her to submit to him. She wanted him to bite her neck, the way he had not that long ago, and make his mark on her. She wanted all of these things but she wasn't sure how to say it, never mind if she should.

She just wanted him.

So, instead she showed him.

She glanced down at the spot on his abdomen that was still glistening with his juices that he had released from the self-love session at her behest. God, how she had enjoyed watching that. She thought she had never seen anything sexier.

When she found what she was looking for, she smirked at him, gathering some on her pointer and middle fingers and as he watched breathlessly, eased them inside herself, going as deep as she dared, gasping loudly before emitting a small delicious moan.

She bucked once, twice, as she rotated her fingers, feeling her walls and trying to spread his semen wherever she could.

When she felt she was finished, she slowly pulled her soaked fingers out, feeling her core clench down on the digits, trying to suck them back in, as if they had more to give. The contractions alone felt so good, she started to rock her ass softly against his thigh.

She stuck them inside her mouth, moaning in satisfaction at the taste of their combined essences, before lazily pulling them out. She thought she heard him groan but she couldn't be sure. She was too concentrated on her ministrations. But, he was definitely as turned on as she was. One quick glance down confirmed that.

His eyes were glued to her, blacker than before if it was possible.

Her tongue darted out and did a teasing sweep of her top lip.

"It is now."

Before Bella knew what was happening, Jake had surged forward and immediately lay claim to what was now rightfully his.
