I stood in the shadow of the woods, staring at the scene in front of me.

They were leaving.

My Nessie looked so sad, so withdrawn. She clutched my letter in her hand as she stepped into the car gracefully. She had been crying, I could tell. It took all the willpower I had to stand here and watch, and to not run over to her in my wolf-form and scoop her up. How long would it be before I could feel the warmth of her skin against mine again?

I knew she didn't feel the same way about me – yet. The change had only taken place within me in the last couple of weeks. It was as if I suddenly saw my little Nessie in a whole different way. It was as if she was a different person to the cuddly little child I had helped bring up. This is why I needed to give her some time. It was not what I wanted, but it was what she needed, and every bone of my wolf-body knew it. I had discussed this with Edward, and he had agreed wholeheartedly to get his daughter away for a year. Of course he would have. He didn't want me to be with her like that.

He didn't understand.

But as I watched the cars pull away from the Cullen's oversized drive, I couldn't help myself. The elastic bond between us was just too strong.

I would follow her. I had to follow her.

She would never have to know. I could keep my wolfy eyes on her, and stay down-wind. I would sleep in the woods. I could just watch her, going about her normal life. She would have no idea, but I could keep her safe.

Don't be an idiot, Jake. Leah's thought invaded my head as I took two steps forward. You promised me.

I didn't have time for this. I would have to start running soon if I wanted to keep up with the cars. And what would I do when they got on the plane? I would figure something out. But I didn't want to hurt Leah either.

I'm sorry, Leah… I wish you could understand.

I understand. You have started to feel things for her, and you've forgotten all about us.

I felt a pang of guilt. Leah and I had discussed this already. Our relationship was always going to end when Renesmee grew up. We both knew this. I loved Leah, in my own way. And I knew that she loved me. But I couldn't fight the incredible force that drew me to my soulmate.

I know Jake. But you promised me a year, and that's all I ask. I heard her approaching. She was behind me now. I let out a low growl.

Ah Leah, go away.

But Leah could no longer hear me. I whirled on the spot, and saw her naked form a few metres behind me. I couldn't help the stirring of lust as my eyes raked in her toned body. It was partially obscured by the shadows, and I strained my eyes to see more. She stood, willing me to change with her eyes.

She was keeping me here, the only way she knew how.

I growled again and turned my back to her. I could no longer see the cars, nor could I hear the soft purr of the engines. My Nessie was gone. I was so angry, so frustrated, and so powerless to do anything. But this was the only way.

"Please, Jake. I need you here. Let you make it better for you. Let me take your mind off her."

Leah's voice was so pained that I turned toward her and changed into the form she preferred. Without thinking, I closed the distance between us and crushed her warm body to mine. I was not gentle. I let instinct take over as I touched her body. All the hurt and anger and frustration that I was feeling made my arousal more desperate. I needed to be close to someone.

Leah moaned into my mouth and opened it, letting my tongue explore freely. Her body molded itself to mine, giving in without a fight. It was what she wanted too. My caresses became more urgent, and I digged my nails into her pert ass, lifting her up. Before I realised, I had her pinned up against a tree, the bark no doubt cutting into the delecate skin on her back. I didn't care. She would heal. She wrapped her legs around my waist and arched her back, throwing her head back. She was mumbling something, low sounds… but I was too far-gone to pay attention.

I didn't bother to feel if she was ready. My throbbing erection needed a release. I pushed myself into her quickly, and started pounding, hard and fast. I watched her gasp in joy? Extacy? Pain? I didn't know and I didn't care. I felt her long fingernails digging into my shoulders, and raking along my back. I dimly realised that she was screaming my name.

Her body shuddered and I was lost as I released myself into her.

It took a few minutes for us both to catch our breath. When I finally looked into her eyes, I was horrified to see her eyes glistening with tears.

"Oh my god. I'm so sorry Leah… I didn't – I – did I hurt you?"

Leah smiled at me sadly. "No, Jake. I'm just glad you decided to stay."


A/N:

Sorry to break it to you Leah, but I'm not sure he will stay! Hehe.

This was my first attempt at writing anything remotely lemony. I thought I would practice with these characters before letting myself lose with Renesmee. Please, please give me some feedback on it. What was good? What was bad? Apologies that it was quite short. I didn't want to over-do it.

Thank you so much to those of you who have reviewed – your kind words are spurring me on to make this story a much more lengthy, in depth one. And above all, it's making me want to update more often! I would reply to you all individually. But I have no idea how, and I would rather spend the time writing more for you.

Nobody has guessed what Vaara's talent is! Come on! I may just keep you hanging a bit longer…
