Chapter 8: Determination.

Jacob took this as an invitation, leaning in for more. I did not resist. He pressed his hot lips on mine, and kissed me fiercely-my lips moving with his. His hands found his way into my hair, while my creped up his back finding their way into his .

My lips molded into the shape of his- though they held their own in a way .I curved my lips upward breaking the kiss- gasping for air.

Jacob held me a tight embrace, not saying anything for fear of breaking the moment.

I tried to wriggle out of his embrace; he tensed.

"Relax," I breathed as I pulled him to lie on the massive bed with me. I snuggled into his side laying my head on to his shoulder, absentmindedly tracing designs onto his muscular chest.

"Renesmee. I love you," he said simply. And I could tell that he meant it in a way other than when a brother told his sister that before bed.

"I-" I started but he cut me off.

"You don't have to say it if your not ready, I-"

" I love you too, Jacob black." I replied without having to think it through. It seems as if you're my whole world now."

"You have always been mine." I replied, emotion thick in his voice. "And always will be."

"I love you," I repeated. Now that I had said it once I wanted to say it a million times more. " I love you, I love you, I love you." I repeated over and over again. Each time the smile on Jacob's face grew wider- even though I thought it impossible.

I lifted my cheek to look at his face. His black eyes were full of happiness and joy; deep with love and admiration. I pressed my lips to his once, twice, a third time. He smiled.

" I love you too Renesmee Carlie Cullen," He whispered in my ear, his hot breathe caressing my face.

We laid there for what seemed like an eternity- me and Jacob- Jacob and I.

I didn't want to speak - for fear my ragged voice would break up this perfect moment. But it was getting late - everyone would be home. My dad's irrational thoughts can't keep them away for much longer.

"Jake?"

He seemed to understand what I meant and swiftly stood, pulling me with him, crushing me to his chest once more before reluctantly releasing me.

As he let go of me I felt a sudden - sort of- pull toward him. As if he was some sort of metal and I was a paperclip. I was being drawn to him.

I quickly pushed back- embracing him again. "Is this part of being" I struggled to find he right word "an imprintie?"

"An imprintie? That's a new one. Most people just use imprint," he chortled. "But yes, being drawn to me " He pulled me as tight I could possibly get to him-"Yes. That's part of it. I've been drawn to you, our whole life. You've always been my imprintie-"He snickered"-have you never felt drawn to me?"

I looked at his face- he pretended to pout. He expected an answer. Crap.

"Umm. . . I'm not exactly sure. I've always loved being near you. . . And I've felt the need to be near you, but never as strong as this before."

He beamed at me- despite the let down my words must have been- and hugged my closer, even though I thought it impossible.

Suddenly I heard the door open and voices trail up the stairs. Everyone was home- to get the details from me I suppose. Everyone knew my dad could . . . Exaggerate, when he was angry or shocked.

"I think they're home," Jake whispered into my ear.

"Oh, yeah. . .right." I stuttered. I felt oddly pressured. I knew that I had to tell them for myself, but I didn't know how. They must have all know by now- but still I had enough dignity and self respect to let them know- myself.

"There's nothin' to be afraid of Nessie- it's your family. 'Sides, they've all known it was coming anyway. I mean , come on look at me." He gestured toward his naked torso.

I giggled Ahh Jacob. My Jacob.

He released me ad walked toward the door dramatically slow- waiting for me to follow.

I didn't move. Anxiety still overwhelmed me.

Jake turned around on his heels "Nessie. . ." He whispered sarcastically, edging me forward. "Come on. We have to go down stairs."

No," I said obstinately.

He started to walk out the door - testing me. He knew all about this metal pull and he was seeing if I could stay away. How cruel. I was forced to follow.

Jake stood by the staircase- waiting I suppose.

I glared at him. He just laughed and pulled me to him to brush his soft warm lips against mine.

He started to pull back, and I started to panic. I swiftly pulled him back to me his bare torso held tightly to my clothed one, I lead a trail of kissed down his neck and over his perfectly sculpted muscles, stopping only when coming to his waist line that was met with fabric.

I froze.

Jake laughed and pulled my face back his for one last peck before descending the staircase. I followed, not wanting to be the paperclip again.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I told you they saw it coming, Nessie," Jacob chortled. "And you really didn't even need to tell them you know." He held my hand as we walked along that formed behind the main house.

"Of course I had to tell them Jake!" I snapped. He gave my hand a little squeeze.

"No. You didn't Nessie." I started to protest but he held a large tan finger to my lip to silence me. "They all knew already. I imprinted when you were born. That's about nine years of knowing; preparing." He cooed. "And not to mention- word travels fast with the Cullens."

This confused me. "What do you mean?"

"Remember, you Mom and Dad walked in on us. . ." He trailed off.

"Laying in the same bed, isn't exactly a way of telling them I've finally come around Jacob"

He came to a stop and turned toward me leaning his head down resting his forehead on mine. "To you." He all but whispered.

"Jacob I had to tell them for myself. Not just leave it to assumptions." But the fact that they did expect made it that much easier.

Everyone had pretty much taken the news well. . . with the exception of Aunt Rosalie. When I told them about Jacob and me, I could feel the anger bubbling off her skin, as Uncle Emmett grabbed her waist holding her to him- in what he tried to make seem like an act of love.
