JACOB HAVE I LOVED

Chapter 30

On the way to the airport, Embry was for the most part extremely quiet. He kept fidgeting in his seat and wiping the sweat from his hands onto his jeans. He would look over at me frequently and smile that same goofy grin I saw on Collin's face the previous day at Steph's wedding. Had all the men in La Push gone completely mad? I couldn't help but wonder.

Then, something inside me began to change. I could feel some sort of attraction or pull to Embry. I just couldn't explain it. I glanced over at him and couldn't help but to stare at his biceps protruding from the strains of the T-shirt he was wearing. My eyes then marveled at his peck muscles clearly visible through the taunt, blue fabric.

My mind flew back to the day I first partook in cliff-diving, remembering how sexy Embry had looked in that dripping wet T-shirt. Before I knew it, I was salivating at the very sight of Embry, and I couldn't for the life of me understand why. Steph had always had a crush on Embry when we were in high school, but I could never comprehend her irrevocable fascination with him.

Until now.

Catching me drooling at his muscles, Embry peered over at me and reached his hand across the seat. He gently placed his palm on top of my hand resting on the leather cushion at my side. Surges of electricity streamed through my body as he held his hand on top of mine. I had never felt more emotionally charged in my entire life. I immediately felt love for the man sitting beside me.

Had my true love finally come at last? Was he the one I was destined for? Embry Call?

"Embry, pull over." I commanded him and quickly pulled my hand away. My breath was coming in short gasps now. I felt like I might be having a panic attack.

"Is everything okay, Jess?" Embry's expression hardened as he parked the car on the side of the road just outside of Olympic National Park.

"What happened back at the diner?" I questioned Embry, hoping he could give me the answers I needed. I tried with little success to control my rapid breathing.

"Um . . ." Embry ran his fingers through his hair, and I don't know why, but that simple action seemed so damn sexy to me. "Jess, have you ever heard of imprinting?"

"No, what is it?" I responded, remembering Jake's son and the observation he had made at the diner earlier.

"Well, you know the legend of our tribe. How we supposedly descended from wolves?" Embry stared down at his hands as he spoke. Somehow the pieces of the puzzle began to click right into place.

"I know about the wolf thing, Embry." I told him, and he snapped his head up at me in wonder. "I know you are a wolf."

"Really? How long have you known?" He asked, exhaling in relief.

"For eight years now." I confessed, looking out through windshield at the desolate highway. "I'm one too or I used to be."

"What? You mean Leah isn't the only female wolf?" Embry's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Leah's a wolf?" I retorted. I couldn't believe there was another female wolf in existence. I was completely astonished.

"Yeah." Embry sighed, his eyes softened.

We sat in silence for a few more moments, and then Embry continued, "Jess, male wolves find their soulmates by imprinting on them. The moment I saw you, I knew you were my soulmate."

"That's why you stared at me so rudely?" I joked, smirking at him.

"Sorry about that." He laughed, a smile broadening on his face. "I've always liked you, Jess. But the moment I saw you again, I knew that I would always love you and spend the rest of my life with you. Does that make any sense at all?"

It sort of made sense, but how was it possible for someone to fall in love so quickly? I couldn't believe what was unfolding right in front of me. All I knew was that I was beginning to have the very same feelings for Embry as he felt for me. It was the most exhilarating feeling on Earth.

Embry reached out his hand, taking my right palm into his and leaning his head toward mine. I involuntarily leaned in toward him as if his lips were pulling me like some kind of invisible magnet. I couldn't control myself. I wanted to feel the heat of his lips pressed against mine.

Our lips touched tenderly, and the electrical current of bliss shot through my body like a raging tide. Before I knew it, I was knotting my hands in his hair, and our kiss was becoming more passionate. The taste of his lips was like smooth caramel, and I drank it up as though it were the sustenance to my very existence.

Embry shifted in his seat, pulling me into his lap. As I straddled his hips, he moved his fingers up the fabric of my purple blouse, placing kisses down my throat and around the exposed flesh of my décolletage. The sensation of his skin against mine sent shivers down my spine, and I could feel him hardening against my ass. I wanted him, needed him. NOW.

"When does your flight leave again?" Embry inhaled deeply, his lips leaving my skin.

"What flight?" I whispered back, smirking at him.

Embry mirrored my smirk and instantly crushed his lips back to mine. Laying me down on the leather seat, he sat up to remove his shirt, and I responded by removing mine as well. I rose up on my elbows to gaze at his perfectly chiseled abs, my mouth standing agape at his gorgeous form. He was like an Adonis in russet-colored skin before me. How in the world could I be so lucky?

And was he really about to take me in a truck? On the side of the highway? I must be going nuts. But I didn't fucking care at that moment. It could have been broadcast on national television, and I would have waved at the damn camera.

Embry carefully unbuttoned and unzipped his jeans, allowing his erection to spring forth in front of me. I blushed, for it was so much bigger than I was expecting.

"No underwear?" I giggled, my right eyebrow arched.

"I don't wear them." He replied, helping me unhook my bra and flinging it to the side. If I couldn't get any wetter from the sight of his cock, I gushed at his very words. "God, every part of you is so beautiful, Jess. Why did you ever leave La Push?"

"Um, I had to, and you're not so bad yourself, wolfboy." I laughed as he took my left nipple into his mouth, circling it several times with his tongue. My God, that felt so amazing. I moaned, elevating my body slightly off the seat at his touch.

Slowly, Embry moved his lips down to my waist, tracing my torso with featherlike kisses, and unfastened my jeans. The tension between us was almost unbearable. I couldn't wait to become one with him.

Sliding off my jeans along with my panties, Embry positioned himself between my legs. He leaned down to place a kiss on my lips and then looked into my eyes. His eyes appeared as though they were flushed with tears.

"Embry, what's wrong?" I asked, returning his gaze.

"Jess, I've been waiting for this moment for eight years. I want this more than anything." Embry answered. "Are you sure you want me?"

I couldn't think of the right words to say to him in that moment. All I knew was that I wanted him with every fiber of my being. He was the love I had been searching for, the greater love that awaited me as Ephraim had foretold those many years ago. I knew it now; I knew it with all my heart.

"Yes, Embry." I took his hardened member into my right palm, placing him at my moist entrance. "Make love to me."

Embry kissed me again, thrusting inside me with all of his might. As soon as he entered me, my whole world spiraled out of control. Completeness shot through my veins like a drug, and I became immediately addicted to him. We both cried out in ecstasy, looking into each others' eyes. I could feel the charge of rapture taking me over as he began to make love to me, slowly and lovingly in the cab of his truck.

I could feel my peak begin to build as I detected the soft sounds of rain hitting the roof of our blissful haven. Embry massaged my breasts with his right palm while using his other to rub the bundle of nerves between my legs. I screamed out in pure unabashed pleasure as my orgasm rocked throughout my core, radiating outward to the rest of my body. Talk about mind-blowing.

The contractions of my climax triggered his own, and he began to pound into me more forcefully. Embry cried out and released inside me just as the flicker of a lightning bolt flooded my eyes and the crack of roaring thunder boomed off in the distance. It was as if our passion triggered the electrifying storm all around us.

"Wow, Jess." Embry collapsed against my chest, and I hugged him close against my body.

We lay there holding each other for what seemed like hours, savoring the afterglow of what we both had just experienced. We talked about our lives and shared memories of the past eight years. I couldn't believe how easy it was for me to talk to Embry, to share my innermost and deepest secrets with him—even those regarding Jake. He told me that he had been working at a garage with Jake for three years now after flunking out of college. How everything he had done up until the moment we met again had left him unfulfilled and unsatisfied. The moment I reentered his life, the world instantaneously made sense to him again. I smiled and told him I felt the very same way.

Embry held me close as the rain gently beat down on the roof of his truck, and the memories of Jake and the love we once shared evaporated without a trace.


I couldn't believe how easy it was for me to fall in love with Embry Call. After that afternoon in the truck, Embry and I couldn't spend even a few hours apart from each other without feeling the need to be together again. I decided to leave my firm in Sacramento and find a job at a local practice near La Push. Embry couldn't be happier at my decision. I wouldn't be making as much money as I did in Sacramento, but I couldn't bear to take Embry away from what he loved the most (other than me)—La Push.

Within a month, I moved into his small house in La Push, and Embry proposed. We were married that summer, only three months after I returned for Stephenie's wedding. Imprinting, Embry explained, was irreversible. We were meant to be together, so why put off the inevitable? We were madly in love with each other. Not to mention, we couldn't go a single night without satiating our physical desires for the other sometimes into the wee hours of the morning.

I also learned more about Jake and why he ended up with his wife Nessie instead of Bella. To my utter amazement, Nessie was Bella and Edward's daughter—Nessie Cullen Black. I told Embry it just didn't make sense that a seven-year-old could grow up so fast and have three children already. Despite Jake's objections, Embry told me that Edward was really and truly a vampire . . . no fucking joke. That's why Nessie grew up so quickly. Could vampires even sire children? Still confused, but elated to have found my one true love, I finally decided just to accept it as reality.

I realized that Ephraim's prophecies were true the moment I saw them together as a family at my wedding. Of course, Jake served as Embry's best man, and Nessie looked stunning in her beautiful sundress as she sat amongst the congregation. Jake had found his soulmate in Bella's daughter; that is why he felt so connected to her those many years ago. I couldn't have been any happier for them.

"Hey, beautiful." I opened my eyes the morning after our wedding night to the most angelic face on Earth. "I mean Mrs. Call."

Embry hovered above me, his eyes radiating with the love he held for me. I lifted my head to press my lips lovingly to his, and he returned my kiss with a fervor I had never seen him display.

"Jess?" Embry spoke after several moments of liplock. "How come you decided not to phase anymore? I think it would be so sexy to see you as a wolf."

"Embry Call, you are disgusting!" I smacked him on the back of his head.

"Ow!" He rubbed the spot on his head. "You know what I mean."

"I don't know why I did." I laughed, feeling the warmth of his body become even stronger as he lay on top of me. "I guess I just wasn't in La Push anymore with the rest of you guys. I didn't need to anymore."

"That's fair enough." Embry rolled off my body and rested on my left side. "I've never been able to figure out why you are a wolf. I mean, your father isn't a descendent of the first wolves."

"Actually, my grandfather was Levi Uley's son. I'm related to Sam." I confessed, resting my head on his chest.

"Well, I know one thing." Embry said after pondering my statement.

"What?" I asked rising up to take in his face.

"I guess we can rule out Sam's dad as mine." He chuckled, placing a hand over his face. "Either that or we're cousins and that's just sick!"

"I guess so." I replied, pulling his hand from across his face. I looked deeply into his eyes and felt my body soar with the love I held for him. "I love you, Embry Call."

Embry's eyes became serious, taking my hand into his. "I love you, too, Jessica Call."

Our bodies melted into each other as our lips met. My mind raced back to that Saturday on First Beach those many years ago. I thought I would never love anyone as much as I loved Jacob Black that day on the beach. I had been greatly mistaken.

Jacob have I loved, but Embry have I loved . . . forever.

THE END

Attn: I would just like to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for partaking in this journey with me. At the end of March, after finishing My Renesmee, I was in a bookstore, trying to think of an idea for a new fan fic. I thought, "What if Jacob had a love before Bella?" I thought it might be interesting to tell the story from a girl's POV just as Twilight was written from Bella's POV. I scoured the book for any mention of a girl who could possibly be my heroine, and on page 118, I found Jessica. Thus, Jacob Have I Loved was born.

I am going to miss Jessica so much. I hope you have enjoyed reading her story as much as I have enjoyed writing it. Love you guys with all my heart! I am still writing True Alpha (EJ's story) and would love to hear your thoughts if you haven't read it already. Thanks again for reading.
