Sam's Soul Bonded
AN: This first part will be about Jared and from a general perspective.
Part Eight
Jared walked slowly on his way home. His anger had worn off, and now he was feeling guilty. Not only did he make a royal ass out of himself, but he made his Kim mad. He spotted some wild flowers on his way back to his and Kim's cabin, he picked some and hoped that they would save him from sleeping on the couch.
Kim was sitting on their bed with her head in her hands, Jared walked into the room and knelt in front of her. He gently lifted her head out of her hands and looked into her tear streaked face.
"I am sorry I was a jerk to you tonight, I had a bad day at work and I took it out on you." Jared said softly.
Kim sighed she could never stay mad at him. She looked down and saw a bunch of wild flowers sitting on the floor beside him.
"I forgive you this time, Jared you need to confide in me more. I am not just your imprint, I am your equal I want to share in your good times as well as your bad. I can't do that if you don't let me in, do you understand me?" Kim asked.
"Yeah I do, I guess I just didn't want to trouble you with my problems. These are for you, I saw them on my way over and thought of you." Jared said as he handed her the flowers.
Kim held them up to her nose and breathed in the light floral scent. She then leaned down and kissed Jared lightly on the mouth before getting up to put them in some water. Jared smiled at her before pulling out his cell phone, he had to apologize to other people too.
The first person he dialed was Jake. Jake picked up on the second ring.
"Hello?" Jake asked into the phone.
"Jake it is Jared, I am calling because I owe you an apology. I had a bad day at work and I took it out on you." Jared said.
"Hey its cool, I thought it might have been that. Just so you know I didn't want to be the beta automatically. Sam convinced me by saying that I have more leadership skills, and that I naturally draw people to me." Jake answered.
"He is right about that, well I have more people to apologize to so I will let you go now." Jared said then hung up.
The next person he called was Paul, Paul answered the phone on the second ring.
"This better be good Cameron!" Paul growled as he was still mad at his friend.
"I was just calling to apologize for being an ass earlier, I was having a bad day at work and took it out on you guys." Jared explained with a wince, Paul pinched the bridge of his nose.
"Alright but you owe me a few favors to be cashed in at a later date." Paul said and Jared laughed relieved.
"Alright I will apologize to Sam and Bella tomorrow, don't want to interrupt the new imprints." Jared said as he knew first hand how possessive wolves were when they first imprint.
"yeah good idea!" Paul said and they hung up.
Jared set his phone on the side table before he stood up and stripped down to his boxers. He sensed as his mate came up behind him.
BPOV
I woke up first the next morning and turned looking at the relaxed features of my boyfriend. I would have loved to sleep in but my full bladder convinced me otherwise. As I tried getting out of his arms, they tightened and he growled at me.
"Stay!" He commanded in a sleepy growl.
"I have to go pee!" I said as I felt like I was about to explode. Sam sighed before letting me get up, I kissed him on the cheek before I dashed off to the bathroom.
After I did my business and washed my hands, I was no longer tired so I went down to the kitchen where I saw a sheepish Jared and an amused Kim making breakfast in the now messy kitchen.
"I am sorry about being an ass yesterday, I had a really bad day at work yesterday and I took it out on you and I am sorry." Jared said to me and Sam who had come up behind me.
"You will be taking double shift for patrols today, after that you are forgiven. I can't let you off easy it sets a bad precedent." Sam said as he gathered me in his arms and kissed the top of my head surrounding me in his heat and scent.
I relaxed into him, silently wishing he would do more than just chastely kissing my head. I whimpered in pleasure as he kissed my ear.
"help Kim cook and clean." he said before releasing me as he dragged Jared out back.
"What a tease!" I pouted at Kim as I went and helped her clean Jared's mess.
"They can be at times! Especially before you consummate your bond. Jared was the worst! He would come and hold and kiss on me getting me all hot and bothered and then saying something inane and then bolting off somewhere!" Kim concurred with a wink, and a laugh at my no doubt blushing face.
"So when will we get to the good stuff?" I asked my older friend.
"Well the thing with the imprint bond at least, is that the wolf will know when the right time to progress the relationship is. It is what the imprintee needs that drives them, not what they want. It is unfair, but there are ways to incite the wolves so that they will claim you faster." Kim confided with a wink as she made sure the boys were gone before she gestured me closer.
"There are three sure fire ways to get your wolf to stake his claim. But make sure you are absolutely sure you are ready for that, because condoms melt, and the birth control pills are over ridden by the super shifter sperm." Kim said in a very quiet voice.
I pondered that for a minute, I really wanted Sam, but I wasn't sure I was ready for getting pregnant. I only knew him for a few days, but I already knew I wanted to marry him some day. Leah entered at that moment and Kim quickly brought her up to speed.
"Well since you have a stronger bond it makes sense that you have stronger urges towards your mate. Jake and I consummated ours right away, and it takes everything in me not to jump him whenever I see him. Lovemaking is so much more intense with a wolf than it is with a mortal man. But Sam is a good man and won't force you into anything." Leah said at length.
"Alright tell me them, for when I am ready I mean." I said figuring that at least knowing how to get him to stake his claim was better than not knowing. Leah and Kim shared a smirk.
"The first step is dressing provocatively, Alpha Males hate when other men ogle their women. I already got you started when we were in Seattle." Leah said and we shared a smirk as we remembered me slapping Edward.
"The next step is going places/seeing people without telling your wolf. They hate that and will get very territorial." Emily said as she came in followed by her smirking mate.
"Please don't tell him!" I exclaimed using the puppy eyes.
"Damn I can never resist those eyes! Alright I won't warn Sam you are plotting ways to jump his bones." Paul said as he hugged me before he went out back.
"And the final step is flirting with an unattached male where your mate can see you. This last one is to only be used if the first two doesn't bring the desired results." Kim said in the same quiet voice as all four of us worked to get breakfast going
After it was ready I headed out to call the heathens in.
"Breakfast is ready!" I called out and jumped away from the doorway as the heathens zoomed in at warp 9.5 speed.
Before I could blink I was plucked up and plunked down onto Sam's lap as he had two plates in front of me. I ignored the hysterically laughing girls as I scooped up a bite of egg and fed it to Sam. He groaned sending moisture pooling to my core. Seduction was a double edged sword I realized as we continued to feed each other throughout breakfast.
We were lost in our own little world and were about to kiss when several voices cleared themselves.
"Get a room you two!" Leah called and I blushed as I realized all eyes were on us.
"Jealous Leah?" I asked bravely.
I reluctantly climbed down from my favorite perch, and gathered mine and Sam's dishes and brought them to the sink and began washing them. Kim and Leah cleaned the rest of the kitchen. Emily and Paul left for their appointment after being wished luck.
"Well Kim I will see you at home, I will cook tonight." Jared said as he hugged and kissed her cheek before he ran out the back door.
"Well that is unusual! He must feel really bad about being an ass yesterday." Kim mused as Leah snorted and muttered "whipped".
"Jared is an excellent cook but with work and patrol's it usually falls to me to do the cooking." Kim said.
"Why don't you get at least a part time job?" I asked as we all finished up on the kitchen and sat around the table.
"I will leave you lovely ladies to your gossip!" Sam said dropping a kiss on the top of my head.
"I am taking business classes online, I hope to buy out or open a restaurant with in a few years. So far I haven't found any job openings yet." Kim said.
"Well I have $10 million, how about we go in together? Since I am still in school you would be the one running it full time until I graduate and take business classes." I said.
"Isn't it too big a risk?" Kim asked though I could see she wanted this as much as I was beginning to.
"maybe but it just feels right to me somehow." I said.
"Can I be in on this?" Leah asked.
"Of course and Emily too if she wants." Kim said and we all put our hands in the middle.
"Wolf Girls!" we yelled throwing our hands up then bursting out in laughter.
We spent the next hour devising a business strategy. We were busy on that when Emily came back looking radiantly happy.
"I'm pregnant!" She exclaimed and we all screamed and had a group hug.
"Leah, Kim, and I are planning on opening our own Restaurant/Bakery would you like to be a partner?" I asked.
"Do you need to ask? Of course!" Emily said and we did our hand thing again.
We took a break to prepare a simple lunch of sandwiches, we called Sam and Paul who had snuck around the side in.
"hey Sam do you know of any vacant lots or buildings for sale or lease?" I asked him.
"no but the owner of the diner in Forks is retiring, I can give you his phone number after lunch." Sam said.
"We are planning on owning a Bakery/Restaurant." Emily said with a smile to her mate.
"Good luck! It is very hard getting a restaurant to last past a few years." Paul said and we breathed a sigh of relief.
After they finished eating Sam and Paul went into the home office. I plucked up my courage and called my dad, he could be either a big support or a hard sell. I put it on speaker phone we all took a steadying breath as my dad answered.
"Bells did you punch anyone else?" dad asked .
"No but could you put your phone on speaker? Leah, Kim, Emily, and I have something we need to discuss." I said rolling my eyes. I punch one guy and I won't live it down.
"alright, its on speaker now." Charlie said and I heard the difference.
"Dad I know I am still in school and only 18 but we want to open a restaurant/bakery up." I said barely holding my breath.
"That's all? I thought you were going to drop out and elope with Sam." Dad said as Harry and Billy chortled in the background.
"So what is your plan?" he asked and I started with how the Cullen's gave me $10 million and then we took turns explaining what we have come up with.
"I will give Jessica Hayes a call in the morning and see if she is willing to meet with you girls. Bells I will help out with the start up I don't want you spending all your money." Dad said and I had tears of happiness in my eyes.
"Same goes for me, I am sure Old Quil will provide some backing as well." Harry and Billy said together.
"Thank you dad! This means so much to me!" I said and smiled at Sam's amused face.
"I am proud of you for thinking ahead, but I do want you to keep your grades up while you are working. Well I will see you in twelve days, Love you Bells." Dad said gruffly.
"I love you too dad." I said and we hung up.
"Now we just have to convince Jared and Jake." Kim said.
"Sam do you have a legal pad you can spare?" I asked him.
Sam went back in his office and came out with a blank pad. I kissed him on the cheek in thanks as we went back to work planning our futures out. The time flew by and Soon Jake, Quil, Jared and Angela came in bringing pizza's. We looked at the time and realized it was pushing 7:00.
"Sam told us the news and I am 100% behind you girls." Jared said with a loving prideful look at his girl.
"Same goes for me." Jake said as he looked at his Leah.
"If you need any help I am willing to learn." Ange said volunteering to work.
"so what is your complete plan?" Quil asked as we spent the next hour explaining what we worked out as we ate pizza. After every one but Quil and Angela left Ange and I worked on our school work. While he and Sam talked in his office
"Wow not even out of school and already you are going to be a business owner!" Ange said as we finished up.
"I know but I feel so much more settled now that I know what I want to do with my life you know?" I asked as we sat down in the living room to gossip some more before she had to head home.
Since tomorrow is Friday she is spending tomorrow night here after the bonfire.
"Yeah I do, I might not know what exactly I want to do with a career, but I love knowing that I have a good man in Quil." Angela said then Quil came out and they had to leave.
Sam sat down beside me and I cuddled up to him, and giggled as I remembered my dad's comment about eloping with Sam. As scared as I normally was at the thought of marriage, I liked the idea of marrying him sometime in the future.
"What are you thinking about?" Sam asked me amusement clear in his voice.
"My dad thought we were eloping when I started the conversation." I said and he froze momentarily.
"and you don't mind that idea?" he asked.
"Maybe in a few years, after the restaurant is up and running smoothly, yeah I wouldn't mind getting married to you." I answered.
"Alright I will ask you in a few years to marry me." he said and we just sat their for a while in silence.
