PAULS POV
I could feel my nose healing, which was probably even more painful, then it was first broken. Unlike the form it broke, the healing process, was much more slower.
I balled my fists and let my head drop above the sink Letting blood still fall. There wasn't as much as earlier, but some was still falling. I tried breathing through my mouth, without getting the blood.
Why did you say you loved her? I asked myself.
You're a competitive person. Seth said I was a competitive person, could it be possible that that's all it was? But I started to like her before I even knew Seth did. Before I even knew she had Seth.
And besides, she liked me too. She wanted to be with me too, not with Seth. I closed my eyes, and thought about her features, her beauty, her scent, her strength. And it actually made me feel a little weak… or maybe it was from the blood loss. But one thing I was sure about, was that Hannah was going to be my girl.
The only thing was, what if Seth told Hannah? What if he told her everything? Would she believe him? Or would she think it was jealous lies? I couldn't go ask if he would say anything, because he had left already.
HANNAH'S POV
I thought about going back home, but another part of me thought about looking for Seth.
After he had left me, all alone. I didn't know if I should have followed after him. Or if I should go ahead, and head home.
One thing that was stopping me from going home, was that I was crying. I didn't want my parents to ask questions, and I didn't want to explain the whole situation with Paul. Whatever you could call that situation to be.
I decided I would just wait, Seth had to come back.. he just had to.
This was all my fault, I had no doubt in my mind that Seth had gone to confront Paul. And if anything happened to either of them. I don't think I could even forgive myself for it.
I paced back and forward, until I heard footsteps. I turned around to see, Seth with different clothes. He must have borrowed if from someone.
"Seth?"
He marched up to me, and grabbed me by the back of my head. Pushing me up against a tree, and started to kiss me.
I allowed him to do it for a few seconds, before I pushed him away.
"Wait Seth. What happened? What did you do? Did you hurt Paul?" I asked him.
"Why do you care?" he asked me.
"Did you?"
"He'll be fine." He said.
"What did you do?" I asked loudly.
"He hit me too you know?"
I stood quiet, just staring at him until I found something to say.
"You know, I'm not worth fighting for, I'm not worth fighting you're brothers." I said.
He smirked and rested his hand on the tree, above my head. Allowing him to lean forward, inches away from me. He grabbed my chin with his free hand, and began massaging it.
"If only you knew. There's so little you actually know about Hannah. You don't even know, every detail about the clash for you. That some of your family gave up their lives for you. This isn't the first time I choose you over my brothers Hannah. I did it before, and you know what it got me? This."
He pulled up his shirt, and showed me long and thick matching scars on his chest.
"And this." He turned around and showed me the scar on his back.
"Who did it to you?" I asked. Please don't say Paul. No not Paul. It couldn't have been him. But he had scars too. I remembered the one on his neck, the one I had continued to look at, but never asked, and the one on his ear.
Seth smirked. "It doesn't really matter right now, but I am trying to show you, that fighting my brothers for you, again. Is worth it. Because these scars aren't the only things I got." He said.
"What else did you get?" I trailed his body with my eyes, wondering what other horrible scar he would show me.
"You."
NEXT MORNING
As I turned into the schools parking lot, I felt the most horrible. Emmett wasn't with me, because he had a three day suspension. I didn't understand why I was asked to be picked up yesterday, and not serve any days. But whatever.
I parked my car in my usual spot.
Checking myself in the rear view mirror one last time. I took a deep breath, and decided it was about time I faced the other kids. I just hoped that none of them had anything smart assed to say. Or ask.
I had to go to my locker and get my books for Mr. Arks class.
As I headed towards the schools front door, I heard someone call my name.
I looked turned around and found Mulan.
"Hey gurl!" she said, wrapping her arm around me.
"Where were you?" I asked her. She and her sister had been absent.
She rolled her eyes. "We had family over from India. So we took them up to Vancouver."
"For the hell of it?"
"Yeah." She said shrugging.
We stayed there talking for a bit, until I saw her try and hide, apparently from someone behind me.
"What?" I asked, about to turn around.
"DON'T!" she said.
"What?" I asked.
"What is he doing here?" she asked herself. "Its Mayleen's ex boyfriend. She was like crazy obsessed with him."
"And why are you hiding away from him?" I asked.
"Cause! He's like really cute, and I look like hell right now. I always had a small crush on him, but he only laid eyes on Mayleen. Not that he ever took her serious. After he dumped her, she turned.. well the way she is now." She said.
"Hot?" I asked.
"No a whore." She said looking over my shoulder.
I started to laugh, and I mean really laugh. And once again that same foreign to my mouth, musical laugh came out.
Mulan stared at me odd.
I rolled my eyes. "Let me see."
I looked over at the playgrounds direction and saw Paul.
He smiled as soon as he saw me.
"She dated Paul?!" I asked her.
"You know him?" she asked.
"Mayleen dated Paul!?" I repeated.
"Well sort of. She claim they did, but he had never actually asked her to be his girlfriend, something about him not being into relationships. He pretty much just, had fun with her."
Great.. out of all the shoes I have to fill now. It was Mayleen.
I suddenly felt even uglier then I ever had.
I turned to look at Paul, he stopped smiling as soon he saw Mulan.
"Is he here for you?" Mulan asked.
"I guess." I said.
"Are you two dating?" Mulan asked.
I didn't answer, because someone caught our attention, it was Mayleen.
She had just rushed past us, bumping me hard on the shoulder as she did. She ran over to Paul and jumped on him.
Legs wrapped around his waist, and arms around his neck. He was trying to pull her off, but she was hugging tightly on to him.
"Oh oh." Mulan said.
A burst of anger came to me. Jealousy… wow did it suck.
"Hannah?" Mulan asked, as I started to walk towards Paul.
I was going to teach Mayleen, that not everyone wanted her… even though she had already had Paul.
"I knew you would come around again. You missed me right?" Mayleen asked Paul.
"Mayleen, get off." Paul said.
He managed to push Mayleen's legs off him, but she still had her arms around his neck.
As I got closer I faked a huge smile to Paul.
"Hi Paul."
Mayleen turned to look at me, letting go of Paul.
"What do you want butch?" Mayleen asked. We were almost the same height, since she had on high heels.
"I didn't know your name was Paul." I said glaring at her.
"Good morning beautiful." Paul said kissing my cheek.
Mayleen glared at me.
"Morning handsome." I said hugging him. "Are you done?" I asked Mayleen.
She turned around and stormed towards the school.
I turned my back to her, and glared up at Paul. The smile he had one his face gone.
"What?" he asked.
I crossed my arms. "You and I, need to talk."
"What did I do?"
I turned away from him, and walked towards my car. I could feel Mayleen's eyes glaring at me. But I didn't even bother to turn her direction.
I pulled my keys out, and clicked the open lock button.
Getting in, I waited until Paul got in, before slapping him hard across the face.
"What did I do?" he asked again. "Is this about Mayleen?"
"NO! I mean YES! I don't know!"
He looked at my confused. "So is it yes or no?"
I sighed loudly as I turned the car on, I backed out the parking space fast, even making a few students stare, and a few move out the way.
"Maybe you shouldn't drive while angry." Paul said. As he put on his seat belt quickly.
I smirked, as I stepped on the gas pedal, and practically flew out the parking lot, and on to the road.
"So you dated Mayleen huh?" I asked. Looking down at the speed, and pushing it even more.
"No." he said, I could see him squirming in his seat. "Maybe you should slow down."
I turned to glance at him quickly and smiled. "What? You scared? Aren't you a motorcycle rider?"
"Yeah, but I'm not the one speeding right now."
"Ah, so you didn't date her huh? So your one of those asshole guys, who just fuck girls huh?" I asked.
From the corner of my eye I saw him turn to me.
"No Hannah, its not like that. Don't think I just want to fu- sleep with you. I really do like you.
I pushed the car even faster now.
"So what? Is this like some sort of revenge? A small way to get back at my parents? Fuck the daughter, make her fall for you, then rub it in their parents face?" I shouted.
"No, Hannah, its not like that… I told you before that I never had a girlfriend before, that's because I hadn't met the girl to take serious. And I want to take you serious." He said.
"Oh cut the bull crap Paul, we've only just met." I said.
I could see him squirming in his seat, as I sped past a car.
"Hannah slow down!" he shouted.
I slammed hard on the breaks, as they tried to stop the car, the tires squealed loudly.
I pushed my body against the steering wheel, with my hands, to stop myself from flying forward. Once the car had came to a halt, I put the car on park.
If he hadn't put his seat belt on, I had no doubt that he would have flown out the wind shield.
The car I had just passed, passed past us, honking.
I turned to look at him and slapped him hard again.
"What was that for!?" he asked.
"For hitting Seth." I said.
"He told you?"
I nodded. "Yeah."
"What else did he tell you?" he asked.
"That he loves me. That you and your friends hurt him. The scars one of you animals gave to him! He showed them to me." I said.
I raised my hand again to slap him, but he grabbed it, and pulled me towards him.
He started to kiss me hard. I wanted to pull away, but I couldn't.
The burning desire to bite him started again, I tried pulling away, but he grabbed on hard to the back of my head. Parting my lips with his tongue, he started to kiss me with desire.
I bite down on his lower lip as softly as I could. But the will to not bite him, was agitating me.
A growl escaped my lips. I heard him moan as he dove back into them. As the burning desire to bite him began to fade, another burning desire, began to spark.
I moved away from the drivers seat, and sat on top of him. Grabbing his face with both hands, I continued to kiss him hard, as lust began to consume both of us.
It wasn't until a car passed by, that we both seemed to realize what we were doing.
We both stopped kissing. I quickly jumped back into the drivers seat and started breathing heavily.
"Well then." I said wiping my lips, with my arm.
"Sorry." He said.
I cleared my throat. "We better head back. I can still make it to my first class."
I was about to put my car back on drive, when Paul rested his hand on mine.
"I know this is a bad time to ask. But did you think about it?" he asked.
"About?"
He leaned forward and kissed my lips gently.
Oh!
"About being your girlfriend?"
He nodded.
"Paul, its just .."
How do I tell him, that I have feelings for Seth too? When I'm with Seth, I love the time, but when I see Paul, I forget about Seth.
He nodded and put his finger on my lips. "I understand."
"Maybe we can just be friends?" I asked hopefully. "Like, best friends?"
I could tell he was putting on a show for me, he smiled cheekily and nodded. "Sounds great."
I made a U-turn on the road, and headed back to school. Finally realizing exactly how far I had gone, because of the speed I had gone at.
Luckily it was still early, and I would make it on time to class.
As I pulled into the parking lot, I kissed Paul one last time on the lips, before getting out the car with him.
"Hey Paul?" I said as I walked away from him.
"What's up?" he asked.
"Was there a reason you came today?" I hadn't even asked why he came around.
"I wanted to see you. I wanted to invite you to my side of the line." He said.
"Line?" I asked confused.
He smirked. "Never mind. Have a nice day."
It had already been half an hour into Mr. Arks class, and I was already incredibly bored.
I yawned before raising my hand.
Mr. Ark didn't seem the least happy to stop his speech for me.
"Yes… Miss.. Cullen?" he asked, almost through gritted teeth.
"Can I please go use the bathroom?" I asked.
"Must you always interrupt my class?" he asked.
"I have to change my tampon." I lied. My monthly nuisance, was gone.
He just glared at me. As other of the students laughed.
"Or I can just change it here, really it doesn't make much of a difference to me. It has to be done." I said.
"Go!" he said pointing at one of the hall passes.
I smiled as I walked from my seat to the pass. Stepping out the room, I headed to the bathroom down the hall.
After I had finished using the bathroom, I took my time washing my hands. Just to waste time. I should have stayed with Paul. I wasn't missing anything in class, as I said before, anything these teachers tried to teach us, was really basic knowledge to me.
I was interrupted from me thoughts, when I felt someone pull my hair hard.
Since it caught me by surprise, it scared me.
I felt my body be pushed back to the wall.
"You think your little miss perfect don't you?" Mayleen asked.
I glared at her, wondering what sort of damage I could do, by just slapping her across the face.
"What's your problem Mayleen?" I asked.
"You're my problem! Your very existence is my problem. I don't see what guys see in you!" she said.
"Is this about Paul?"
"Its about everything! Ever since you came, all the guys like you, all the girls talk about you, your little miss perfect!" she said pulling my hair again.
I balled my fists, trying to control myself from hitting her. With my strength, I could easily kill her.
"And to top it off, out of all guys to date, its Paul!? Paul is mine! What doe he see in you? Your practically the virgin Mary herself. You can't do things to him like I was able to. I know what he likes and how he likes it." She said.
She was right, I was a virgin, I wouldn't know what to do, if Paul wanted to sleep with me. Not that I should get ahead of myself.
"You know all he really wants to do is use you. He does that you know? He only cares about sleeping with you, then he'll send your ass packing. He's probably slept with more girls then he can remember."
I started to tear up.
"Oh no is the little virgin going to cry? I wouldn't do that if I were you, you wouldn't want your make up to get ruined, then people would actually be able to see your ugly face." She said.
As I started to jog out the bathroom I heard her say something about staying away from Paul.
I ran out the double doors, leading to the side of the school. I pulled my keys out my jeans pocket, and tried opening the car.
Why was I even crying?
Of course I didn't expect Paul to even be, slightly close to being a virgin, if anything, the closest thing to even being a virgin on him, was his hair. I knew he had slept with her. But actually hearing it, made me feel even more jealous.
My hands were shaking in my anger, that I couldn't seem to find the car key hole.
"Shit!" I said still trying to open the door.
"Hannah whats wrong?"
I turned around to see Paul. What was he still doing here?
"Leave me alone Paul." I said turning to the door, and trying to open it.
I heard him sigh loudly. "It was Mayleen wasn't it? What did she do?"
"According to her, what didn't she do." I said. Why isn't the key going in!?
"Wait, wait, wait, what?" he turned me around.
"Never mind, its none of my business what you two did." I said.
"Are you jealous?" he asked.
"Of course not!" I said.
He chuckled and brought me to him. Hugging me hard.
"Come on." He said pulling me with him.
"Where are we going?" I asked.
"Somewhere I never took any girl before. Not even Mayleen."
We walked into the woods, I was confused, where did he not take any girl before?
"Where are we going?" I asked.
He started to take his shirt off. "I'm going to introduce you to my brothers. They have never personally met any of the girls I have… spoken… to. They have only seen them, but I have never brought them… home if you want to say."
He wants me to meet the others, who killed my family?
"Paul.. I don't think that's a good idea." I said as I turned away.
"Here, can you put this in your purse?" he asked.
He handed me something. I looked down and saw the clothes he was wearing, I tried stuffing them into my purse, the best I could. When I finally looked up at him, I saw the beautiful grey wolf, from the other day.
He leaned forward, his chin touching the ground. Paws forward. He wanted me to get on his back.
"Paul…" I shook my head.
He whimpered.
"Paul I'm scared." I said.
He whimpered again.
"Will you protect me?' I asked him.
I didn't realize it during the time. But that was a useless question to have asked. For all I had known, he could have also killed me as well. He could have been the one, to have brought me to my death.
He panted a little, sticking his tongue out. I rolled my eyes and giggled.
"Okay." I said as I walked over to him. "Okay, how do I do this? Its like riding a horse." I said to myself.
He growled a little. Making me laugh.
"I'm not saying you're a horse!" I said.
He laid down, which made it easier for me to get on top of him. Since he was so big.
His fur felt so soft and warm.
Grabbing a hold of his fur with both hands, I kept my legs tightly around his torso.
I leaned forward, resting my purse by my stomach.
I rested stomach down on his back.
He stood up on all four, and started to run. He pulled forward at a quick pace.
What would mom and dad say, if they found out, that I have fallen for the enemy?
This reminded me a little of Romeo and Juliet. Except, unlike them, we actually were enemies by nature, not by choice. He was a wolf, I was a half vampire.
I massaged my face closer to his soft, warm fur. The rhythm of his body, was swaying me into a sleep.
He said he has never took a girl to see his brothers before. I wonder if that's true.
It was times like this, that I wished I had inherited my dads power to read minds, instead of my mothers, to mind block. Mind block. Pfft, what was the point of it? The only good thing it served right now, was against my father.
"He's probably slept with more girls then he can remember." Mayleen's words spoke in my head.
PAULS POV
I was aware of Hannah on my back, and I made sure that she was away from harm, away from hitting herself on a low branch, or from falling off.
But I wasn't aware of the pack. Not until Embry contacted me.
"Paul, what are you doing!?" He asked.
"I'm bringing her home." I said.
"She's going to live with us?" I heard Johns voice come.
I looked over to my sides, and saw Embry and John running together to my left. To my right I saw Brady. He was staring at Hannah.
"No. I want her to meet Jacob, and you guys." I said.
"Paul, I don't think Jacob is ready to meet her. You know how he feels about her mother." Embry said.
"Wait, that's Bella's daughter? As in the leech? The one Jacob loved?" John asked. He had been told about Bella, and what had happened to her. But he didn't know that Bella had, had a daughter.
"Yes." I said to him. I continued to run. Wondering if Hannah had noticed them yet.
"Why are you bringing a leech home!?" Brady asked.
"She's a half breed." I said. Now quickly becoming impatient with their questions.
"But she's still part of them!" Brady yelled into my head.
"BRADY! YOU ARE NO ONE IN THIS PACK TO QUESTION WHAT I DO. THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN, IS JACOB. AND THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN OPINION ON THIS BESIDES HIM, IS EMBRY!" I roared.
"Brady, go tell Jacob we are coming. And that so is Hannah" Embry said.
"Hannah? As in the girl That guy from yesterday, told Paul to stay away from?" John asked.
"So much for staying away Paul." Embry said.
HANNAH'S POV
I had been so consumed in my thoughts, that I hadn't noticed the other wolves running not too far form us. I raised my head, and looked at either side of me.
To the left of us, there were two of them. One had pale white fur mixed with black spots, he sort of reminded me of a cow. While the other one next to him, had grey fur, with noticeable black spots on his back.
Turning to the right, I saw a chocolate brown wolf run past us, and far off.
"Your brothers?" I asked Paul.
He howled.
"Their beautiful." I said, looking at the two big wolfs to our left. And they really were. Just imagining all of them, including Seth once running together, gave me goose bumps.
Paul growled.
I had been distracted by Paul's brothers, that I didn't notice the two guys in front of us in the clearing. Not until Paul slowed down at least.
As Paul came to a stop, he let me down, before taking my purse along with him.
The two wolves that had been running with us, had stayed in the woods.
"So your Hannah." One of the guys said. Both were shirtless.
I remembered him from the diner. He had been the one smiling, while he watched the other guys messing around.
He was taller then Paul, same skin tone, his hair was a little fuller then Paul's, but almost the same length.
The other guy who was thinner, and about the same height as Paul, was much more lighter in skin tone. He must be the other wolf I saw, who rushed away.
I nodded. Turning back to the woods, trying to find Paul.
"He'll be back, he's getting dressed. I'm Jacob Black. And this is Brady" He said handing me his hand.
Brady nodded to me, I nodded back to him.
I took Jacobs hand and shook it. He pulled me closer to him, but still kept his distance.
"Amazing." He said studying my face.
I felt uncomfortable. "What?" I asked.
"You look so much like you're mother. You have her eyes, her nose, her pale skin. You look so much like her, before she became a vampire." He said.
"You knew my mother before she became a vampire?" I asked.
He smirked. "We we're best friends."
I felt my lips part, as I gaped at him. They were once best friends? Exactly how old were these guys… how old was Paul?
He let go of my hand, and turned his gaze behind me.
I turned to look at what he was looking at. And found Paul, already fully dressed walking towards us. Close behind him, where two other guys, both had pants on, but shirtless like Jacob and Brady.
It was then, that I noticed that they all had extremely fit bodies, and all bore a tattoo on their arm.
"Hannah. This is Jacob, Brady, Embry, and John." Paul said, resting his arm around my waist. He handed me back my purse.
I knew he was reassuring my safety to me.
"Guys. This is Hannah Cullen. Bella Swans daughter." He said.
I wondered why he didn't mention my fathers name. But I figured, it was probably because they had only knew mom.
"So these are your brothers?" I asked Paul smiling at them.
"We we're once a bigger pack.. but this is us now." Jacob said.
"So how is Paul treating you?" the one named Embry asked.
I smiled. "He's a very nice guy."
I noticed both John and Brady exchange looks.
"How's your mother?" Jacob asked.
"She's um good. A little upset about my brother getting in trouble, at school yesterday." I said to him.
"Jacob." I heard Paul warn him.
I looked up at Paul. Why didn't he want Jacob to ask about my mother?
I felt a little weird, the others guys were all looking at me. I felt like I had a "Look at me." sign on me.
"Do you have any… abilities?" the one named Embry asked.
I nodded. "I took my mothers ability to mind block. I don't know where I got it from, but I have a great sense of hearing, and strength. Neither of my parents have it, so I don't know where I got it from." I said to him.
"From your father." Embry said.
"No my father can only read minds." I said.
I heard Paul and Jacob make a sort of growling sound.
Embry apologized and looked away.
"What's going on?" I asked.
I felt like they knew things I didn't.
"Nothing. Come on, lets go inside." Paul said smiling at me.
I could still feel Jacobs eyes on me.
"Jake, you mind switching shifts?" Paul asked him.
He shook his head. "It's fine." He said "Come on guys, move it out." He said to the others. He continued to stare at me as he did.
"See you later." Embry said to me.
Both John and Brady both glanced at me one last time, before running with Jacob towards the woods.
"Where are they going?" I asked Paul.
He laced his fingers with mine, and walked me to a house before us.
"Their doing rounds. We protect the woods, make sure no one un wanted causes harm." He said.
"You mean us leeches. I don't think your brothers liked me very much." I said to him.
"They just aren't used to girl being on the rez. I mean excluding Emily. Emily was our Alphas fiancée." He said. Opening the screen door for me.
"Was?" I asked. Stepping inside, the house felt warm and cozy. It had wood furniture, with padding. A small fireplace at one side was on.
Much to expect, it was messy. Noting odd to see for a guys place.
"He died." He said.
"Oh.. how did he die?" I asked.
He gave me a look, that answered the question right away.
"Oh.." I said. We were standing in the middle of the living room. I tried thinking of something else to say. "Who's the alpha now?"
"Jacob. He was the Beta when Sam was still alive. Now I'm the beta of the pack." He said.
"Wow." I said.
"Like Jacob said, we were a bigger pack. John and Brady are new. Before they came, and others died, and Seth and his sister left us. It was only Embry, Jake and I." he said.
"Seth had a sister?" I asked surprised.
"Yeah, her name was Leah. She was in love with Sam. But Sam imprinted on her cousin Emily. You have seen her already, that time in Port Angeles." He said.
I nodded, remembering.
"You want to see a picture of the old pack?" he asked.
I nodded.
He held out his hand put for me, grabbing it, he took me to a room, that had a un made bed, clothes all over the ground, and a dresser. It was actually very empty.
He walked over to the dresser, and pulled out a picture.
He sat down on the bed, and waited till I sat down, before showing it to me.
It was a black and white picture, featuring eight tan figures.
I scanned the picture, taking my time, before Paul named them to me.
"That's Sam, Emily's fiancée." Paul said, pointing to a handsome, broad shouldered guy. He was muscular, and big, but not the tallest.
"That's Embry, and Jake." He said pointing too them. They still looked exactly the same, as if they hadn't even aged a day.
"That's Colin, and Jared." He said pointing to two other guys.
"Me." He said pointing to himself.
"Wow, you guys haven't changed at all. Its like you took this, this morning." I said.
He nodded, "We don't age as long as we are shape shifters."
I looked down at the picture again.
"Who are these?" I asked pointing to a baby faced guy. He looked out of place. He was muscular and tall like the others. And equally as handsome, but his face made him seem to young.
Next to him, was a tall, slender, beautiful girl.
"That's Seth and his sister Leah." Paul said.
"That's Seth?" I said bringing the picture closer to me, as if it would make any difference.
"Why does he look so different now?" I asked.
"Because he aged. When he became stuck in the in between he was able to age. He's been gone for so long, but his body aged him by five years. And he will continue to age, until he finds a pack, or decides to age." He said to me.
I stood quiet, and moved my gaze to his sister.
"She was so beautiful." I said to him.
He nodded. "Yeah, but bi-polar as hell. She was always angry, and upset. She wasn't always like that though. She was actually a very nice girl, up until Sam choose her cousin over her. After that, it was like she choose to live in misery, and she wanted company, dragging us along with her."
I just stared at him, as he spoke.
"Paul.. how come when Embry mentioned my father, you and Jacob became nervous?" I asked.
He looked away, as if thinking of what to say.
"Please don't hide things from me. I barely found out about things about my life. I don't want any more surprises. I just want to know what my family doesn't allow me to know." I said to him.
"I can't tell you anything. If you really want to know. Ask your mother." Paul said.
"But they won't tell me anything. No one ever does." I said.
PAULS POV
"Please Paul?"
"Damn you Embry" I thought to myself.
"Why won't you tell me?" her voice changed. She sounded whiny.
Quick Paul, shut her up!
And what was the only thing I thought of doing?
Kissing her. Shutting her up. Covering her mouth with my lips.
Luckily for me, she didn't reject it. She wrapped her arm around my shoulder, and held on tightly as I kissed her.
I thought the kiss would end quickly, but instead I felt her mount on top of the bed.
She pushed me back, as she continued to kiss me.
Once I had my back to the bed, she kept mounted on top of me. I rubbed her shoulders as she massaged the back of my head, grabbing fist full of hair at a time.
I could feel myself starting to become aroused.
Until I felt her pull my arm away from her back, and grab my hand, bringing it to her breast.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait this wasn't right.
I sat up, and stopped her.
"Wait Hannah." I said pushing her back.
"What?" she asked, trying to kiss me again.
"No wait, this isn't right." I said.
"What do you mean this isn't right?" she asked, her eyebrows arching in.
"I mean, we can't be doing this." I said.
"So you can sleep with Mayleen, and other girls. But you can't even touch me?" she demanded.
"So that's what this is about?" I asked her. "You think you have to sleep with me, for me to like you?"
Was I really that much of a whore? That even Hannah thought so.
She crossed her arms and sat still. She stared at the wall.
I waited for an answer, but she wouldn't give me one.
I stared at her for what felt like a long time. And it freaked me out, how still she was.
She was like a statue, perfectly still, unblinking.
"Hannah."
She continued to glare at the wall, arms still crossed. But she had at least finally blinked again.
"I didn't say I wanted to sleep with you." She said angrily.
"Then what?" I asked. I couldn't believe I was even having this conversation with her.
"I have to go." She said getting up.
"No wait." I said grabbing her by the wrist, I pulled her on to the bed next to me.
I got on top of her and tried getting her to look at my eyes, but she kept avoiding my gaze, looking at the wall again.
"Then what? What do you want then?" I asked her.
Her face started to become red, with her eyes still focused on the wall. She finally answered me.
"I don't know what I want." she said.
"Honestly, do you feel like I only want to sleep you?" I asked.
"No."
"Then what's wrong?"
She shrugged. "Every time you kiss me, I feel different. I feel like a rush in me, and something in me just wants to… I don't know how to describe it." She said frustrated. She finally looked into my eyes.
"Do you get what I'm trying to say?" she asked.
I looked away from her, trying to re cap on what she said. And to be honest, no I didn't get what she meant. The only real explanation I could think of, was that she was describing her vampire instincts.
I remember Sam once making a joke, about how the only other thing hornier then me, was probably a leech.
Their sexual drive is a needed desire. In other words, they were sexual beings.
"I think I do." I said to her.
"I mean. I didn't even feel like this, when Seth kissed me." She said.
I turned to look at her slowly.
And the competitive side of me came. The one Seth had told me about, the one who wanted to get it more.
I pushed her back down on the bed, and started to kiss her aggressively.
She didn't push me off, but instead she wrapped her legs around me.
Running my hand up and down her side, I started to feel her up, before I brushed my hand on her stomach.
As she bite down on my lip, and scratched my back through my shirt, she pulled at my hair. With my hand under her shirt, I ran my hand up until I felt the material of her bra at my hand.
Once again, my arousal began, the material of my pants quickly getting in the way. I felt her push her hips up, as she rubbed herself against me.
How did it even come to this?
And then in between the current thoughts, the desperation, the want for her, I remembered.
It was all because of Embry.
I had to shut her up, so I kissed her. Triggering her.
And at that moment, in my head, I thanked him.
