Chapter 9: Time for Lunch

We reached the shore at the same time, purposely, because despite the teasing, Jacob really could be shark bait off the shore of the island. I had enough of a vampire scent that I really was needed for him to swim around in the deeper water.

My aunts and uncles were now all sitting in lounge chairs, sunning themselves on the shore. We climbed out of the water, and luckily, none of them commented on how long it had taken us to swim to the shore, although Uncle Emmett was shaking his head and grinning. Aunt Rosalie gave him a look like she was going to rip his head off, and he stopped.

I really was hungry now. The idea of hunting sounded pretty good, not just for my hunger from lack of eating, but also to help me control some of my hunger for Jacob. I wasn't raised to be a slut. My parents were both virgins on their wedding night (yeah I know, TMI from one of Dad's lectures about the importance of virtues), but I had so much pent up energy. I was just going to jump on Jacob and make him have his way with me unless I burned some of this pent up energy off.

"Does anyone feel like going hunting," I said to the entire assembled group.

My Aunts both looked up, "I'm up for a hunt Nessie, Aunt Rose and I were just talking about that," Aunt Alice quickly answered.

"Great," I replied, "Just give me a chance to dry off before I put my T-shirt and shorts on, OK." I grabbed a towel from off one of the lounges and started to dry my hair and body off.

"Three girls out on the hunt, this will be fun. It has been a while since we had some girl time with you Nessie," Aunt Rosalie added.

"You mean three girls and a wolf, Jacob's coming," I quickly chided in, "Jake's going hunting too."

"Oh no he's not, this is going to be a girl's day out," Aunt Rose hissed back at me.

"OK, fine," I said, "I'll just go home with Jake and eat human food. No big deal." I grabbed Jacob by the hand, and turned to walk back toward my parent's house.

"I know that it is at least partially my fault, but you can be such a little spoiled brat sometimes Nessie," Aunt Rose snapped as I continued to walk away. I just ignored her and kept walking away.

"Fine Nessie, you can bring the Do-, I mean Jacob," she said disappointedly and then added, "As if they weren't practically inseparable before, now I am never going to get to spend any time with my niece without him around."

I half turned back toward the group and said, "Promise to be nice to Jake, Aunt Rose, or I am still not going."

I heard a loud huff and a resigned sigh from Aunt Rose and then a reluctant, "Fine."

I called Mom and Dad to let them know that we would be going hunting for lunch and then Jacob and I joined the group for about an hour soaking up the sun. We sat on two lounge chairs next to each other, just holding hands. We really didn't talk to each other, but it was a comfortable, familiar silence. It was a silence which enhanced how I now felt electricity pulsing between us, even with the most innocent of touches, like our intertwined fingers. We kept up with the group conversation when prompted to, and would sneak glances into each others eyes from time to time, but even with the lack of physical activity between us, the hour flew by, and once I was sufficiently dressed to put my clothes on over my bathing suit, the four of use made our way to the boat to head to the Brazilian mainland.

On the hour long boat ride to the shore, we did get in some girl time. Aunt Alice rambled on about all the stores that she had missed on the West Coast and how she was going to take me with her on many shopping trips. I reminded her that I was going to be attending school and she just chuckled.

Aunt Rosalie began a conversation about how much she missed having a car on the island, and that she couldn't wait to bring me car shopping. "When it comes to cars and learning how to drive, I am the one in the family who you really need to talk to. Your father has a lot of cars, but he can barely do a tune up," she said at one point, which to my surprise, set Jacob off.

"Sure, sure, Blondie, I am sure that you think you are a great mechanic, but I am a real mechanic, and I can handle any mechanical needs Nessie may have," Jacob chided.

"Well, we'll just see about that when we get back to Forks, dog," she hissed.

"Both of you, stop it, no name calling," I snapped. We were almost to the shore by then.

We pulled into our family's small private dock which bordered the Rainforest. Grandpa Carlisle had bought 1000 acres of Brazilian rainforest to set up a nature preserve. Actually it was our mostly private hunting grounds, although as with anywhere, we always had to be careful to ensure not being seen by humans, it was very isolated. The preserve was filled with the abundant wildlife of the forest, but my family and I tended to like the taste of Jaguars and Panthers the best.

"It's 1:30 now, so we'll all meet back here at five pm, OK," Aunt Alice said. Everyone nodded in agreement. Aunt Alice and Rosalie quickly snuck into the forest. Jacob and I held hands and walked off together in the opposite direction. We walked about a mile into the forest, then Jacob let go of my hand and pulled away from me.

"I have to go phase, I'll be right back," he said.

"Why do you have to go behind a tree to phase, why can't you phase in front of me? You saw me with my top off this morning, I think that it is only fair," I said coyly.

Jacob pulled me into his arms and passionately kissed me for several minutes then pulled away smiling. "When you see me naked for the first time, I don't want it to be while I am phasing, I want it, well, I want it to be for other reasons," he said blushing.

It was so sweet, that I couldn't argue with him. "Go ahead, I'll wait right here." He quickly ran into the bushed and returned as his large russet wolf self. He gave me a goofy smile with his tongue hanging out the side of his mouth, and then he moved his head, gesturing that we should head deeper into the forest.

About a half mile further into the forest, we both caught the scent of a Jaguar about 100 feet ahead of us. Jacob nudged my shoulder with his snout to indicate that I should take the prey. I looked back at him and smiled, knowing that he was thinking Ladies First, such a gentleman.

I slouched down into my hunting crouch and sauntered toward the Jaguar. He didn't know what him, when I pounced. It felt so good to have blood for a change, and the warm liquid filled my belly better than human food ever could. I quickly drained the animal, and then turned to locate Jacob. He had phased back to human, had his shorts back on, and was standing where I had left him moments ago in the forest, looking really confused.

"Jake, I'm sorry, you could have eaten first, I would have understood," I said to him as I walked back to his side.

Jacob shook his head and replied, "No, that's not it." He leaned down to whisper into my ear, looking like he was too embarrassed to say it out loud even though no one else was around for miles, "you looked so hot hunting, and it was driving me crazy. I phased back to human quick so the pack wouldn't hear all the dirty thoughts I was having."

"I never knew that seeing me hunting had that effect on you," I said coyly.

"It never did until today," Jake said in return.

"Well, I am sure that you, are hungry, so shake those thoughts out of your head and go bag a Panther. I think I smell one about a half mile to the west."

Jacob quickly gave me a peck on the cheek, and then ran back into the forest to phase. Instead of heading back toward me, he stalked off toward his prey.

I stood still, surveying the forest to see if there was anything else about that may be interesting to eat, when my cell phone went off. Damn it, I forget to put that on vibrate. When I grabbed the phone I realized it was Aunt Alice, who obviously knew where I was and began to panic as I answered.

"What's wrong," I yelled into the phone.

"Nessie, calm down, it will all be ok, but you and Jake need to make it back to the boat immediately. I'll explain my vision on the boat, but come now," she anxiously replied.

Jacob was already at my side, still in his wolf form, but I could still tell he was concerned.

"We've got to get back to the boat now. Aunt Alice saw something, I am not sure what, but we have to go."

He began pushing me with his nuzzle, and we both began sprinting as fast as we can toward the dock.
