We'd woken that morning and had an amazing breakfast buffet downstairs in their grand ballroom; Jacob made sure he was full which was quite the task and I couldn't resist leaning into him and giving him a hug as we checked out. He kissed the top of my head and wrapped his warm arm around me while he signed the papers with his free hand. The consierge lady smiled at us and leaned in to whisper, "Congratulations Mrs. Black." I just smiled and said thank you. Sure, she thought we were married but I took the congratulations as me finding the love of my life in jacob. I was surely head over heels in love with him and wanted everyone to know it.

We'd been on the road for 8 hours, only stopping to use the bathroom and grab food so we could stretch our legs. At our next rest stop Jacob groaned and threw the car into park and killed the engine and I looked at him, "What's wrong?"

He furrowed his brow and pointed to the bathroom door that read 'unisex' and I laughed instantly knowing what he wanted. He quickly followed me into the bathroom and locked the door. I didn't much mind that people thought we stopped for a quickie as his lips crashed onto mine.

"8 hours is just too long, we need more breaks." he moaned across my lips.

We kissed some more before I pushed him off of me, "Okay, Okay" He was resisting but he finally broke the kiss and went for my neck that shot electricity through my veins connecting to my intimate area.

"OK Casanova. I need to use the bathroom now."

We headed back onto the road and as he rubbed his thumb across my hand I squeezed my legs together, he tensed and I wondered if it was because of my movement, could he tell what I was doing? I glanced up at him and he was stone faced except for the smirk he had on his face. I dared go there, "Why are you smirking?"

He chuckled, "Do you want me to answer that?"

"Well I asked didn't I." I laughed, he was so cute.

He chuckled, "OK then." he flipped his signal and changed lanes effortlessly before answering me, "When you get turned on you clench your legs together, it's cute."

My smile dissolved like it was never there, "How do you know?"

He chuckled again and gripped the steerling wheel tightly with both hands, "Ah..."

"Well...tell me."

He merely tapped his nose and when I groaned he let out a booming laugh that made me laugh along. "That's disgusting."

"What, that I can smell your arousal? No, it's hot."

I shook my head and watched the city lights that began to come into view. "You'd think so."

"Oh, come on. I'd much rather have that problem than popping a boner every time. At least you can hide yours."

"True."

"Besides, it's not a normal smell anyone can smell. I have heightened sense of smell due to the wolf gene."

I mouthed 'O' and clutched my sweater around me, so my boyfriend could smell when I was turned on...how could that possibly pose a problem? I was being sarcastic by the way.

We'd checked into another hotel, this one wasn't as nice as the New York one but was still very nice. We got a simple hotel room with a queen sized bed overlooking the plains of eatern Ohio, a thunderstorm was rolling in and being on the 18th floor was kind of cool looking.

We were fresh out of our showers and cuddling on the couch, "Bells, I don't understand these cooking shows. Is the point to make your mouth water or help you cook the meal?"

His stomach growled on cue and I giggled, leaning over to grab the room service menu. "Here, I think we need to order some dinner." Despite neither of us really having a good job yet this was a really nice break and vacation for both of us. Though I'm sure Charlie was having a coronary. "Oh my god! I forgot to call Charlie."

He looked at me like he'd seen a ghost, "Uh, same here. Let's do that first."

We separated into different rooms, keeping each other in our views to make sure we didn't have that suffocation feeling and ended about the same time.

"Well, are you D.O.A?" He asked, tossing his phone to the desk.

"No, he just said if I come home pregnant he'd kill you." I blushed.

He laughed, "Same thing I got from mine, I think those two gossip more than old ladies."

Dinner was long gone and digested and I was aroused again, I couldn't shake the feeling. We'd been kissing and I guess that's what did it. As his tongue swirled mine and his hand rubbed the skin on my back his skin burned into mine, it really turned me on and I knew he could smell it. When we'd pull back from a kiss I could see or feel his mouth curl into a smirk and I wanted to slap him but thought I would actually like to tease him instead. I knew I wasn't ready for naked grabbing or anything like that and told myself this was an innocent step and my inner diva to calm down.

I got up on my knees while kissing him and threw my left leg over his so I was straddling his thighs. He acted as though he hadn't noticed other than his re-adjustment of his hands from my waist to my hips. So I ground forward slightly, the crotch of my pants hitting his buldge. He noticed that! He groaned as I pressed down onto his own arousal and pulled me closer to his body. I ground down for a few minutes, boldly getting braver as I did it and threw my head back, breaking the kiss. He growled animalistically and stilled my hips.

"What's wrong Jake?" I asked innocently, grinding my hips forward causing him to hiss.

"You are about to make a mess."

I stood up and stood in front of him to look at him innocently and he shook his head standing up near the bed. He laughed and gingerly pulled his pj's away from his bulge. "You...tease!" I blushed at the size of it, and smirked knowing that I did that to him. He was right, he got the short end of the stick as far as that went, I was lucky I could hide mine and ignore it.

He went into the bathroom and I heard the shower turn on, I threw my hands onto my face and laughed hysterically. When I calmed down I knocked on the bathroom door and heard him hiss and knock something over. "You okay Jake?"

"Mmhm" it was more of a constrained moan than an answer and I blushed, knowing the water was very cold that night.

I let slumber take me over while he was in the shower and woke at some point during the night to go to the bathroom. I noticed a blanket laying over me and frowned, I was missing Jacob's arms around me. But when I turned on my light he was laying on the furthest side of the bed, curled into the fetal position facing the wall. He must not have wanted to touch me and I giggled and went to the bathroom. When I came back I leaned over his back and peeked at his face, he was pretending to sleep because I could see his eyelids moving.

"Come snuggle with me, I promise to be good." I ran my hands through his hair and he jolted out of the bed, "What?"

"You can't...touch me." He groaned, swearing and slammed the bathroom door. Moments later I heard the shower turn on and him swear again.

I felt guilty that I was turning him into a raisin, but it was also kind of funny to me. I waited for him to come out hesitantly and he put his hands up in protest, "Please, for the love of God don't touch me."

I laughed, "Why is touching you suddenly making you need to be extra clean?"

I got the two headed look again and he sat down on the corner of the bed, "You nearly got me off. Now you want to innocently touch me, everything is heightened."

I made an 'O' with my mouth and he laughed, "You are going to kill me. Just, don't touch me. Please."

I nodded and did a boy scout salute, "Scouts honor, just hold me."

"If I end up in the shower a fourth time tonight I am sleeping in the car." He laughed, curling up behind me.

I played nice and went straight to sleep, letting him hold me until I fell asleep. This would be a great road trip.

We made it to Chicago quickly and wanted to spend our day sight seeing to break up the trip, we wanted to spend it at The Navy Pier. We headed down the pier hand in hand, Jacob having forgiven me for last night though I still found it funny.

He tugged my hand into Build a Bear Workshop and I giggled, "Jake, this is for kids."

He looked from side to side like we were doing something illegal then smiled, "I don't see an age limit. Let's build something together, you can cuddle with it at night." He gave me a knowing look and I giggled again.

We picked out a simple teddy bear and a pink heart and we both gave it a kiss before the worker shoved it inside of it. We made it cuddly soft with less stuffing and she sewed it up, Jacob demanded I buy something to put on it. I was looking through all the t-shirts and Jacob nudged me, holding out the tiny t-shirt on the cardboard hanger. It was a grey henley that had a wolf on the front, which sort of matched mine it was perfect!

"Jake! This is so perfect!" I giggled, holding it up to our teddy bear. I leaned up to give him a kiss and he hesitated briefly before looking at my mouth and kissing it quickly. "Did I break you?" I laughed, walking towards the counter.

"Yes you did. Don't you feel bad?" he scoffed playfully.

"mmmh, nope." I emphasized the beginning of the sentence to sound like a moan and he pretended to choke me.

He paid for our teddy bear and I groaned, "We should've done this last. Now we have to carry this house around all day." waving the bears cardboard house.

"Hadn't thought of that, it's okay. Let's go down here."

We thought about taking in a movie but wanted to eat first so we went to Jimmy Buffets Margaritaville and ordered some burgers. "Hey Bella..." He wiggled his eyebrows at me over his menu, "You want a drink?"

I shook my head, "No thanks." I giggled, "You trying to get me drunk?"

He laughed and tossed the menu on the table, "No I don't think I need to get you drunk in order to seduce you."

I raised my eyebrows at him and licked my straw with my tongue in a sexual manner, slowly. "Is that so?"

He sat back in the booth and looked around the table and smirked, "It is." Suddenly I felt his toe gliding up my bare leg towards my knee and I sat up. He had slid his sandal off and was going to prove he could seduce me right here.

"So what should we do after this? I heard that there's a nice botanical garden here too, we should take pictures."

"Yeah, let's do that." I felt his toe inching towards my thigh and I clenched my legs together and he chuckled out loud.

"What's wrong?" His eyes darkened and he wiggled his toe on the crotch of my shorts and the sensation was killing me. His body that close to my sensitive bits was enough to drive me over the edge.

I smacked his foot down with my hand and pursued my lips, "You'll pay for that."

He laughed and said a thank you to the lady who placed our food in front of us, giant burgers with all the fixings and tons of fries. "I know I will."

The sudden sexual teasing was really fun, it made our relationship even more fun and carefree.

We rode some rides and caught a new movie at the theatre and grabbed dinner at the mexican restaurant on the end of the pier and watched the sunset. Our day had been wonderful and full of laughs, I'd missed this so much. I didn't want our trip to end, I wished we didn't have to go back to mundane life in Forks but I was in this for the long haul. Jacob was my life now, and the pack came with that. I loved the guys back home, but I loved spending time with Jacob alone even more.

When we'd gotten back to the hotel we both showered and crashed, nothing eventful and headed west around 6 am. However around 11:00 I began to feel funny and I wasn't talking down below, "Jake...I think you need to pull over."

"Why?" He eyeballed me but began to pull over anyways. The car barely stopped before I leaned out the door and threw up my breakfast. I heard Jacob hiss and he reached out to rub my back, when I was done I turned to him and he handed me a bottle of water. "Was it something you ate?"

I shrugged and sipped the water, "Hopefully that was it." Only it wasn't he'd had to stop four more times within the hour and he finally said we needed to find a hotel and stay until I felt better. He picked a small motel, so we could save some money if we had to stay extra days and left me at the hotel to get me some medication and some food for us since this hotel didn't offer any kind of food service.

I was curled up in one of the double beds with the air cranked on high when Jake returned with several bags. He left them by the door and crawled up next to me and handed me a box that read nyquil. "The pharmacist said it sounds like the onset of flu, so to be on the safe side to take these now and hopefully it won't get too bad." I nodded and fumbled with the packaging, he smiled and took it from me, popping two green capsuls into my hand. "Here." He handed me a bottle of water and I sat up to take them. "I bought dayquil too for tomorrow or whatever, get some sleep though." He kissed my forehead and I gripped his shirt.

"Can wolves get sick?"

He chuckled, "Not likely, you want me to lay with you?" I nodded and he pulled me into his side. "You are burning up. Hopefully your fever will break, get some sleep. I love you."

I love you too. I said that outloud right? The medicine took over my brain and I felt myself drift into a peaceful drug induced slumber.

The next morning I glanced at the clock, it was 1:30, i'd slept nearly 12 hours. My throat burned and my head was throbbing but my body aches were gone and I could think clearly, "Jake?"

I heard the shower turn off and giggled from the memory and he poked his dripping wet head into the room. "Yeah?"

"Sorry, I just wondered where you were."

He nodded, "I'll be out in a second. Okay?"

I nodded and covered my head, it felt cool to the touch and I'd hoped it was just a bug. He came out of the bathroom in his pajama pants and nothing else. "We, need to do laundry at some point. I'm running out of clothes."

"That's unfortunate." I giggled, my head still covered by my arms.

"Yeah yeah" He laughed, "Here, take some more. I also got you some crackers and sprite while you were sleeping." I took the pills and then the crackers as he sat the sprite down next to me. He leaned down to kiss me and I put the roll of crackers in front of my mouth.

"No! I don't want you to get sick." He just laughed and pulled the crackers out of my hand and opened them, kissing me anyways.

"I laid with you last night, besides I can't get sick, I called my dad. They send well wishes by the way." he kissed my forehead and I went to wrap my arm around his back but he stood and turned at the same time. Instead of grabbing his back, I brushed his penis and he chuckled. "Now now, I think you need to take it easy."

I blushed furiously and shoved a cracker in my mouth while he laughed. "You sure are up and down." I looked at him questioningly and he smiled, "One minute you are grinding on me and the next you are catatonic with fear."

I felt bad. "I'm sorry."

"Don't be, it's kind of fun." He flipped on the tv and lounged on the opposite bed and I ate my crackers in silence.

I woke with a start, my chest was on fire and I felt like an elephant was sitting on it. I opened my eyes and looked around frantically, not seeing Jacob and I began to panic. "Jake! Jacob!" I got out of bed and looked out the window, the car was still there but where was he. The clock read 4am and I began to feel dizzy and lightheaded, I let my body slide down the wall and held my head in my hands and cried. It turned into a hyperventilating kind of sobbing and I couldn't catch my breath. I heard the door open and suddenly I could breathe again, his arms wrapped around me and I wrapped my legs around his waist.

"Where were you?!"

"Hey, it's ok I just went down to get more ice. What's wrong?"

"I woke up in pain, it was worse than the anxiety we've had. It was like 10 times worse, like you were in danger and I couldn't save you and I was watching you die." I felt myself tearing up and I swallowed thickly.

"Oh, I got scared some guy was lurking outside of the ice machine room for no reason and I was worried he was going to jump me. Maybe you sensed my fears or something?"

"Maybe...This is definitely something, Jake." He lowered me to the ground and sat the ice on the table.

"I know, is it too much to handle?" He ran his hands through his messy hair and I frowned at him, plucking a piece of ice to chew on.

"Don't go getting all confused on me Jake, it is just difficult to manage that doesn't mean I can't and won't conquer it in time."

He nodded and I put another piece of ice into my mouth and stood between his legs and bent down for a kiss, his hands insticntivly went to my hips and I pushed the ice chip into his mouth, it instantly dissolved from the heat of his tongue and left our tongues slicker than normal. Water slipped down our chins and we pulled apart with laughter.

"That's kind of..." He looked at my lips and reached for another ice chip, "Kinky." We laughed and he kissed me again with ice in his own mouth this time, the same result happening but I swallowed the water and sucked on his tongue, it warming my mouth.

I sat on his right thigh and we kissed until we could hardly breathe, we cleaned up the room and settled in for bed.
