A.N. Here's another chapter. I know some of you aren't fans of Paul or Steph at this moment lol; to be honest neither am I. They're so cheesy! Lol .
Steph woke up and turned off her alarm; nine a.m. that meant that she only had one hour to get ready for patrol. Great. She rolled over to find nobody there; only a small piece of paper on the pillow. She picked it up and read it;
Didn't want daddy to catch us
Good luck on patrol
Paul x
Steph smiled as she ripped up the evidence and tossed it into the bin beside her bed; she buried her nose into what she had deemed 'Paul's pillow' and inhaled his woodsy scent. The speed at which things had changed between them over the last few days was unreal. But then again, wasn't everything in her new life?
Steph got out of bed and had a shower, dressing in her uniform tank and shorts before making her way downstairs for breakfast- alone as usual. When she was done, she looked up at the clock- ten a.m.; time for patrol. Steph walked into the woods and phased.
Morning Embry – Steph.
She ran to the clearing where they had agreed to meet.
Hey Steph, how's it going? - Embry.
The two of them ran alongside each other through the forest following the trail that Sam had marked out for them.
Not too bad. What did you tell your mom when you left this morning? – Steph.
She tried her hardest not to think about the night before.
Well first when I got back last night from Sam's there was a lot of shouting. This morning I left before she woke up– Embry.
Im sorry Embry, why don't you get the council to just tell your mom? It would make this whole thing easier; oh yeah, how did you like your introduction meeting last night? – Steph laughed.
She knew that in reality they were boring.
First of all, trust me when I say that my mom's better off not knowing and second of all, the meeting wasn't that bad, that was until the council decided to take it upon themselves to find out who my father is – Embry.
Steph felt kind of guilty for bringing it up.
Right, you're from the Makah rez – Steph pretended like she had just remembered and tried to close her mind up so that only her voice was heard by him.
Yeah but now we know that my dad was definitely Quilieute- Embry.
Steph kept quiet after that, she didn't really know what to say; neither of them spoke for a while; instead they enjoyed each other's company in silence.
…..
She phased out and walked out to Embry; her legs felt like jello. Surely that much running was not healthy.
"I feel like im gonna pass out." She groaned, pretending to fall all over him; Embry chuckled.
"I know what you mean... Now im starving." He said as-a-matter-of-factly; Steph nodded in agreement.
Paul walked out and stood at the door with his arms crossed, glaring at Embry; Steph sped up her walking speed and leaned up to kiss his lips chastely. He kissed her back and squeezed her ass before smirking smugly at Embry who trudged inside with his head down.
"Don't do stuff like that Paul. It's not cool." Steph scolded as she pulled away from him with a frown; Paul gave her a lob sided smile.
"Relax babe, I was just showing the pup who you belong to." Steph's mouth dropped open.
"I am not a possession." He pulled her closer again.
"I know that, you're a woman. You're just… my woman." Steph felt a shiver go down her spine; she moved her hands to her hips.
"Im not your woman… and you're a jerk." Paul's mouth opened and closed like a goldfish; Steph flipped her hair and walked inside, leaving him standing outside like a lemon.
"How are you today Emily?" Steph asked cheerfully as she sat down next to what she knew was her plate.
"Im fine. How was patrol?" Emily asked as she set down a glass of water; Steph picked it up and downed it in one gulp before tucking in to her lunch.
"So tiring!" She replied before continuing to eat; when she was done she moved into the kitchen and washed her dish. When she turned around, she realised that Paul wasn't inside so she peaked out of the door; he wasn't there either. Where the hell did he go? Steph wondered if she'd upset him with what she had said; the thought was unlikely though.
Steph walked back inside and caught sight of a very distraught looking Embry; she walked over to him and settled on his couch.
"Hey." She nudged him.
"Hey." He didn't take is eyes off of the television.
"Look, about what Paul said…" He cut her off mid-sentence.
"Don't worry about it Steph…" She cut him off this time.
"No, I will; you know why?... Because he was being a dick." She conceded; Embry smirked at her words and turned to her; looking right into her eyes as if he was searching for something.
She laughed nervously as if she could tell what he was thinking; he muttered something so low under his breath that she could barely hear her. She caught the word 'perfect' and put two and two together.
"But not the perfect girl for you… but you'll find her. Maybe not today or tomorrow, but I know you will." She told him; she couldn't promise him anything right now, since she had started phasing, her future dreams had stopped. All she knew was that he wasn't imprinting anytime soon. Steph smiled at him once more before getting up and leaving.
"Guys, im going down to Forks, see if I can get some shopping done." She left without another word.
Steph went home to change into something more casual before leaving again. She made her way through most of the shops picking up tanks, short sleeved tops, sweatpants and shorts. She thought she'd leave footwear for another time; her money was running out anyway. When she got home, she took her bags upstairs and unloaded them into her closet before flopping face down on the bed out of pure exhaustion.
"Steph?" A voice called from downstairs; her sleepy face popped up.
"In my bedroom!" She screamed unnecessarily before putting her face back down; her visitor sat on the bed next to her.
"What are you doing?" He chuckled; she smiled and turned over before stretching like a cat.
"Resting face down on my bed fully clothed. Nothing weird." She replied as she sat up and brushed her wayward hair out of her face.
"…Where did you disappear to earlier?" She asked him as she moved closer to him; he lifted her body easily and placed her on his lap before moving them further onto the bed.
"I had to go do something." He replied gruffly; she cocked an eye brow. Paul lifted her butt before removing something from his pocket; Steph gasped when she saw the little wooden wolf attached to a small silver chain and cache.
"Now, I was wondering if you would wear this… and become my first ever girlfriend." He asked her shyly; a single tear left her eye. His first girlfriend.
"You made this?" She asked as she examined it; he nodded his head shortly.
"It's beautiful….. But I can't accept it." She told him sadly as she pushed it back towards him; he looked sorta depressed so she continued.
"Those are for imprints only Paul, they're tradition." She told him what he already knew; he exhaled.
"But…." She cut him off.
"Please don't, okay?" She pleaded; he nodded sadly but refused to give up. He could feel it, somehow he just knew that he wasn't going to imprint. He felt that she was it for him.
Paul dug his hand into his other pocket and brought out a silver necklace with a large diamond incrusted P.
"…Well will you at least wear this?" He asked as he held it up for her to see; she gasped again, this wasn't the five dollar chizz she was used to. It was proper silver and those were proper diamonds. This must have cost him a fortune!
"It's beautiful…. Yes Paul, I'll be your girlfriend." She laughed; he smiled widely.
"Really?" Steph nodded brightly; he placed it around her neck before pulling back to growl proudly; his wolf liked seeing it on her. All that was left was to mark her…. Just not yet.
Her fingers intertwined in his hair as she pulled him in for a chaste kiss, he wanted more though. Paul brought her lips back to his and pushed his tongue into her mouth; she accepted it willingly and their mouths began to move together in perfect synchronisation.
Paul lifted her slightly and rolled them over so that she was on her back and he was settled on top of her between her long legs. Steph moaned in his mouth and wiggled her hips against him; Paul groaned into her mouth and began to thrust violently against her. If she were human, he probably would have broken her pelvis.
"Steph." He whispered as they broke the kiss for one second; she responded by pulling his mouth back to hers. Paul ground into her again once more until his eyes widened and he jumped up like something had bitten him.
"What? What is it?" She asked him as she sat up; he looked away and clenched his jaw.
"I promised I'd take it slow. Im sorry Steph…..." He felt ashamed; all his wolf wanted to do was hump her like the dog that it was. She cocked her head to the side at his response.
"…I just wanna show you that you're different. Im in this for you, not sex." He continued although he was going through an internal battle. His wolf was scolded him for stopping, It wanted to continue and claim her as his mate.
Steph stood up and walked towards him. She intertwined both of her hands with his and just stood with him. She knew that was what he needed right now, just some silence…
"I'll wait as long as you want." She said after a while as she shifted her weight from one foot to the other; Paul's nose rose to the sky before he broke out in a grin. Steph blushed and groaned.
"Please tell me you didn't do what I think you did." She said as she put her head down in embarrassment. He chuckled and used his index finger to lift her chin before placing a soft kiss on her forehead.
"It kinda turns me on." He conceded with a shrug; Steph's red face grew darker.
"… so don't be embarrassed." He continued. They stayed quiet for a while,
"We've gotta go out tonight." He told her; she put her head up to look at him.
"Why?" She groaned.
"Because the elders wanna figure out what's up with us." Steph's eyes widened and she stepped away gingerly before turning around to the dressing table so she couldn't see him.
"Nothing's up with us Paul, we like each other. That's all." She tried; she didn't want to have to go to the meeting, only to be told that they couldn't date because they weren't imprints. Paul stepped behind her and pulled her into his hips while breathing into the crook her neck; she shivered instinctively.
"Are you sure about that Steph?... Because im not."
Thoughts?
So they're officially together.
