Finally, after two more boring days, it was Saturday. Shopping day. I woke up at about eight and jumped in the shower. I'm meeting the guys at Sue's diner, which is surprisingly named 'Sue's', at nine for breakfast.

I washed my hair and let the water slide soothingly down my body. When I got out I dried and straightened my hair and put some makeup on. I pulled on some tight leather pants and a Aerosmith t-shirt and paired it with some kick-ass biker boots.

Dad stayed with Sue last night…cough, getting some, cough…so I was alone. I grabbed my keys, cell and purse and chucked them into my red and yellow Wonder Woman flight bag.

I rushed out the door, locking it behind me and dashed to the car. My eyes almost rolled back when the engine purred and the car came to life.

It didn't take me long to get to the diner. I may have been going a little over the speed limit but I wasn't that bad. I parked out the front and saw that all the other cars were there. I was the last one.

I walked into the diner, all the guys were at one big table with dad, Sue was behind the counter. There was a few other people having breakfast. Some locals and a few officers. I smiled and waved at Sue and she waved back.

I sauntered over to the others and grabbed a chair, plonking down. I grabbed a spoonful of Jake's cereal and sipped his orange juice.

"Hey guys." I said, "Hey daddy." I reached over and kissed him on the cheek.

"Hi honey, were you alright last night?"

I laughed, "Yeah, dad, believe it or not I am capable of looking after myself."

He rolled his eyes and Sam's ears pricked up.

"You were alone last night. Why didn't you call me?" he said.

"I wanted some thinking time." I shrugged. Really I didn't want to bother him, I don't need him thinking I cant look after myself.

"Ok" he sighed and ate some of his pancakes.

"Wow, Bells, rockin' the biker chick look!" Kim accessed from the other side of the table.

I winked at her, "Sure am. I cant wait to spend some money." I said. I had phone mom and Phil and informed them that my credit card was going to take a hit today and what did they say?, 'Its about time', that's what they said. Jeez.

"I prefer your hair when it has its waves." Sam said. I rolled my eyes.

"Oh, well. Get over it, big boy. I'm having it straight today."

He smiled at me, "Ok, you still look hot anyways."

"Wow, thanks" I said sarcastically, " Isn't that the first time you've called me 'hot' and not 'beautiful'. Losing interest are we?" I raised my eyebrows.

"Hell no, baby. Its just the leather, brings out a different side to me."

"And that side would be?" I asked innocently.

"The animalistic one." he smirked. Ooo-la-la, I was looking forward to meeting this side of Sam, that's for sure.

I smiled greatly, then became a little more interested in the plate of eggs and bacon, Sue had just placed in front of me with a kiss on the head.

"I cant wait to go back to school on Monday." I thought aloud.

"Why?" Leah asked.

"Ugh, I've been so bored this week. All on my lonesome most of the time." I pouted and Sam raised an eyebrow.

"Stop that pouting, you know I would have been there had you called me."

"You were working. Stop being an idiot." I stuck my tongue out at him and he pulled a face at me. We both looked down and smiled.

"So what are you buying today?" Dad asked.

"CLOTHES." I yelled, then remembered that we were in public and chuckled as the other people in here looked at me. "Clothes." I repeated in a whisper.

"And toys." Leah said, Kim and I suppressed our giggles.

"Toys?" dad said, without a clue.

"Yep, just a few playthings" Leah said, Sue, who was walking past, slapped her on the back of the head. Us girls, including Sue, started laughing. Dad dropped the subject. Thank god.

I shoved a forkful of eggs in my mouth and chewed. I leant forward and grabbed Sam's glass of something or other and took a gulp. When I set it down again, I blew him a kiss in thanks. He winked at me.

"Are you going to buy anything today, Sammy?" I asked, he raised an eyebrow at the nickname but didn't say anything.

"I may get a few things. What can I buy you?" he asked.

I frowned, "Nothing. I can get my own things."

He pouted, "But I wanna buy you things!"

"Stop being a baby!" I flung a piece of bacon at him but he just caught it and ate it.

"Hey, you guys aren't really taking me to that shop are you?" Kim asked cautiously.

"Hell yeah, we are." Leah and I said in unison, then laughed.

"You'll feel like a kid in a candy store…so to speak." I added with a giggle.

"You don't have to go anywhere you don't want to, baby." Jared said, obviously hoping the she would want to give Pandora's Box a miss.

She narrowed her eyes at him, probably remembering the reason for going to the shop in the first place.

"I'm so fucking in." she said only to look at dad and blush, "Sorry Charlie."

I raised my eyebrows "Why are you apologising? I cuss around him all the time." I decided to prove my point, "Shit, fuck, bitch, wanker—"

"Ok, ok, there's only so much I can take." Dad groaned.

"Dirty mouth." Sam scolded. I waggled my eyebrows at him and he smirked behind his glass of juice as he took a sip.

"Hey Kim, I got a joke for you!" I smiled. Since Luke's joke day I was feeling like a joker myself. Everyone turned to me.

"Go on then" Kim said.

"What did the egg say to the boiling water?"

"Dunno."

"How can you expect me to get hard so fast, I only just got laid."

The table erupted with laughter, even dad found it funny, I heard some of the other customers laughing quietly, maybe I wasn't being as quiet as I thought.

"I don't get it." Collin said, eyebrows furrowed.

"Ah, Collin. You don't need to worry about it." Kim giggled.

Sam was chuckling but shaking his head at me at the same time. I laughed at him and winked. He flashed me a heart-stopping, beautiful smile, his teeth a shocking white against the hot copper of his skin.

We all talked for a while, finishing our breakfast. At sometime Sam had sneaked his hand across the table and into mine. I didn't actually realise he had until I saw people looking at our hands with smiles on their faces. It felt so normal to touch him and my heart ached a little.

At ten o'clock we said goodbye to dad and Sue and piled into our cars. Us girls took mine. Poor ole Sammy was on his own and the rest got into a few different cars. Sam didn't miss the chance to kiss me before I got in my car. I didn't say anything, just waved at the others and got in.

Leah got in the passenger seat and Kim jumped in the back. I sped off, turning on the radio. Shontelle's Tshirt, blared out and we all started singing.

Try'na decide Try'na decide
If I really wanna go out tonight
I never used to go out without ya
Not sure I remember how ta

Gonna be late Gonna be late
But, all my girls don't have to wait 'cause
I dont know if I like my outfit
I tried everything in my closet

When the song finished, I turned the music down and sent a quick glance to Kim through my rear mirror.

"So, have you got anywhere with Jared?" I asked.

She sighed heavily, "Nope."

"Well, I suggest that you take it slowly. Experiment with a few things before you go straight into full blown sex." Leah suggest, I nodded.

"Yeah, it will help you get to know what each other likes and it will help you last longer when you get to the grand finale." I added.

"Last longer?" Kim said.

"Yeah, well, it will help Jared last a bit longer. Its his first time too right?"

"Yeah."

"Well, then, ease him into it. I've got the scoop and basically he's scared." I checked my rear view mirror and saw Sam driving behind me and the others behind him.

"Why?" Kim asked, shocked.

"Well, he doesn't want to lose control and hurt you."

"Ah, damn. Why couldn't you just have said he didn't want to do it. Now I cant be so mad at him." she pouted.

"Why are you so mean to him sometimes?" Leah asked.

"Cause it annoys me. I feel as though he would have slept with me by now if I wasn't his imprint." she was getting worked up now, her voice going a little higher. "I wish he would just trust me and himself. We belong together, if I couldn't handle all of him then that would be different."

"Look, Kim, you just really need to be a little nicer to him."

"Why should I?" She squealed, the sound reverberated throughout the car, so high-pitched that my advanced hearing couldn't take it and I swerved dangerously. I managed to pull over as my ears were ringing.

I cut the engine and Leah and I jumped out. The others had parked in a line behind us, worried. I pressed my hands to my ears and blinked vigorously.

Kim got out and smiled sheepishly. "Sorry."

"Its cool." Leah and I said in unison. They both jumped back in the car but I waited a little. My ears were still tingling, I shook my head to escape the feeling.

I glanced quickly at the others, waiting in their cars. Sam look worried, he was just about to get out, when he caught my gaze and I shook my head. I jumped back in the car and sped off again.

"Jeez, Bells. I'm really sorry." Kim apologised again.

"Really, its ok. Just a shock. I would have killed you had something happened to my car though." I smiled. She giggled nervously.

"Look, we'll figure something out. But first you should really be nicer to him. You have to seduce him, that takes being nice, believe it or not." I chuckled.

Kim sighed, "Your right."

"When aren't I right." I said, the girls laughed at me.

"Well, I cant wait to see how he reacts when he sees the things Kim gets in Pandora's Box." Leah giggled at the mental image.

"He wont know what hit him." I laughed. Ah, poor Jared. "I feel somewhat sorry for him." I admitted.

"Me too." Leah said.

"Hell, even I feel sorry for him…jeez." Kim sighed again.

There was a slight pause and then we all burst out laughing. I turned the radio back on and we sung every song that came on as we drove along. I checked back a few times to see the same sight of Sam driving behind me. It didn't seem to take that long before we reached our destination.

We all parked near each other and walked into the mall. Sam was on my right, his hand brushed against mine with every swing of his arms. By the way his fingers twitched when they touched mine I could tell he wanted to hold hands like Jared and Kim were doing.

We walked passed many glazed stares from boys and girls alike. Apparently people couldn't take their eyes off the tall, tanned, muscular frames of my La Push boys and the guys didn't seem to mind the much smaller female percentage of our group.

I stamped down my jealousy at the leering eyes of the horny teenage girls and even middle-aged women, that were aimed at Sam. There was some hysterical giggling and hush whisperings of how hot the guys were. But when a one of them made with the intent to come over and speak to Sam, I was having none of it. She looked at me walking next to him and faulted momentarily in her movement then obviously decided she didn't care and carried on towards us.

I looked her in the eyes and when she smirked confidently, I gave her a smug smile and tucked my hand into Sam's. Straight away, his grip tightened on mine and he pulled me closer, pulled his hand from mine and wrapped it around my shoulders, and the only way to walk comfortably like this was to put my arm around his waist. Which, no doubt, was his intention.

"Its not nice to use me to make others jealous." he chuckled in my ear, his hot breath falling on my neck, making me shiver.

"I wasn't. I was just letting them down gently. It would have been more embarrassing for them to come up to you and be turned down. I was being a good Samaritan." I smiled.

He sighed. "Of course." I tucked my hand in Sam's back pocket, trying to shut him up and being successful.

I didn't really know where we were going, I was just following the others when an ear-piercing collective squeal filled the air. We all turned our heads in the direction of the escalators and my eyes became saucer-wide as I saw something that made my heart leap.

My gang were currently riding the escalator down, looking at me and jumping on the metal steps. All of them: Nathaniel, Ava, Sofia, Wyatt, Evelyn and Rylan. I gave a shrill squeal of my own and let go of Sam, running up the down escalator and grabbing the girls and hugging them as we descended.

When we reached unmoving ground we all squealed and started jumping up and down. Me in the middle surrounded by the guys. Nathaniel grabbed me and spun me around. We were all laughing excitedly. Wyatt gave me a sloppy kiss and Rylan started kissing my entire face. The girls just cut off my air supply.

When they finally released me, we all started dancing. Right there in the middle of the mall. Doing the cabbage patch, twirling around, Ava dropped low and then spun up again. Rylan started moon walking backwards and smacked right into Leah.

He turned to apologise, but when his eyes landed on her he stood stock still. They stared at each other, hardly breathing. I frowned, wondering what was going on, when I caught a glimpse of the look Leah was giving him. Pure love and adoration…I did a mental squeal so loud that I think I gave myself a brain bleed.

Leah had imprinted on Rye!!!

Oh my fucking god! This is amazing. I glanced excitedly at Sam and saw the happiness on his face. He looked at me and I ran to him and jumped up, wrapping my legs around his waist and hugging him tight.

"Yes!" I whispered in his ear and he smiled against the skin of my neck.

"Excited much." he whispered back, chuckling.

I jumped down and turned to find Rye and Leah still staring at each other. The gang was trying to get Rye's attention but failing, and my guys were smiling greatly, incredibly happy for Leah.

"Dude, hello…you in there?" Wyatt waved a hand in front of Rylan's face but even that didn't work.

I knew what would, "Oh my god. There's Taylor Swift!"

"What, where?" Rylan jerked his head around, looking for the singer.

The entire gang burst out laughing. We all knew he loved Taylor Swifts music but he tried to pull it off as he thought she was hot. Just wait, it will probably be his excuse.

"Now we have your attention." I smirked.

He rubbed the back of his neck, embarrassed. "Don't look at me like that. Taylor Swift is hot!" told ya. Only this time 'hot' was whispered, as if he didn't want anyone to hear.

"Yeah yeah. Oh my god. What are you guys doing here?" I asked.

"We thought we'd surprise you." Sofia giggled.

"Well you did. How did you know where I was?"

"Well…"Nate started, "We were leaving the airport and was going to yours, when we stopped at some traffic lights, we saw you in the hot car next to us and told the taxi driver to follow your car. Then you came here and we lost you for a while, and were running around the mall when we spotted you." he rushed and then took a deep breath.

"You were going to take a taxi from Seattle for La Push?" I said incredulously.

"Yes, we wanted to surprise you." Evelyn pouted.

"Idiots." I murmured and the giggled and hugged them all again, "God, I've missed you."

"We've missed you too, things just aren't the same." They all said in unison, then burst out laughing.

I pulled them all closer to the others and started the introductions.

"Guys, these wonderful people here are my La Push fella's" I skipped to Jakey and pulled him forward a bit. "This is Jacob." I smiled.

"Ah, the infamous Jake." Sofia smirked then looked Jakey up and down and pursed her lips, "Dang!"

"Hey," I said, pulling Jake behind me a little, "Not touchies!"

She sighed, "Fine, I promise!"

I introduced the others and then named all my gang. Everyone either shook hands or smiled. When I finally reached Sam and I was a little nervous.

The girls gaped up at him.

"Dude, this is exactly your dream guy." Evelyn said, shocked.

I groaned and Sam smirked at me. "No." I said half-heartedly.

"He's hot!" Sofia whispered in my ear, but its was loud enough for everyone to here.

Sam grabbed my hand and pulled my back against him, I was to busy glaring at Sofia to realise that he had wrapped his arms around my neck and rested his chin on my head.

"Hmm, interesting." Ava pondered. I licked my dry lips and smiled at the way Rylan was looking at Leah.

"Are you playing hard to get, Bella?" Nate asked. I stuck my tongue out at him.

"You could say that." Sam smirked, I saw the girls shudder in pleasure as his deep, smooth voice filled the air. I inwardly cringed at the little bit of possessiveness I was feeling.

"Yeah, took me a year and a half to finally get her to give us a chance. To this day I bet she thinks I only started liking her before we dated." Nate said.

By the way Sam's chest rumbled against my back, I knew he wasn't happy with being reminded about my dating history but he kept in his growl. I blinked at the fresh knowledge of Nate's chase.

"You did not." I said

"Oh, I did, and I know you know I did. Stop playing." he raised his eyebrows. Ok so maybe he made passes over the years but I had never thought he was serious until we dated.

Sam lowered his lips to my neck and nibbled. I guess that was his way of telling the others that I was his. I didn't appreciate the obvious branding in front of my friends.

"Sam." I growled as the gang looked at me wide eyed.

"What, baby?" he said loudly, I frowned and moved away from him. Walking over to Jake and taking his hand.

"So…you getting a lil something-something." Ava said, wagging her eyebrows.

"Nope." I popped my lips on the P.

The guys scoffed and the gang raised their eyebrows.

"Can we do some shopping. That is why we are here." I ran a hand through my hair.

"Yeah, lets go." Sofia said. All the guys groaned.

"How about us girls go shop and you guys go then we can meet up in the food court in two hours." Leah said.

We all agreed and after a few more hugs, us girls went one way and the boys went the other.

My hardcore shopping spree was about to start!

Sam's POV

Bella's friends were something else, with all the squealing and dancing, my brain was on overload.

Sofia was tiny, reaching 5'1" if she was lucky. Her skin is a lustrous mocha hue and she has rich, black hair that tumbled down her back. Her eyes were dark and a little slanted, making her look somewhat exotic.

Ava was flamboyant. Her lime green drainpipes almost blinded me and her rainbow t-shirt added to the colour-fest. Her bright blue eyes were accentuated with a thick line of black eyeliner and her blonde hair was tied in a high ponytail.

Rylan was tall, about 6'4" and slender. His blonde hair swept over his eyes in a very surfer-boy style. Evelyn was tall and slender also, not quite reaching Bella's height though. She looked as of she could handle a job as a model. Her crisp white blouse and navy blue jeans, topped of with heels made her look business-like.

Nathaniel looked very…interesting. A few piercings here and there, short, spiky bright blue hair and emerald eyes that always narrowed when they looked at me. I guess it might have something to do with Bella being mine now. Wyatt was very average, jeans and t-shirt, wavy brown hair and almost the same green eyes as Nathaniel.

We walked around the mall for a minute, chatting about trival stuff when the questions started.

"So, you and Bella, huh?" Rylan said.

I shrugged, "Yeah…well, she's being stubborn right now but it wont be long." I couldn't keep the longing from my voice. They all look warily at me, looking out for Bella I guess.

"Now, you know how it is. Don't you hurt her otherwise we'll have something to say about…and we'll tell you using our fists." Nate said, smiling slightly. I inwardly laughed at the thought of them trying to hurt me but I knew they were protecting Bells and was grateful for that.

"I cant hurt her." I mumbled. There was a thoughtful silence, well other then Collin and Brady giggling between each other about a couple that they just saw kissing. Children, aye.

"So…about Leah!" Rylan started…

After a few minutes, us guys decided to double back and follow the girls, while they were none the wiser. They would be too caught up in the excitement to realise we were there.

Soon enough we had them in our and the humans sight and hearing range. The guys beside me were chatting, getting to know the boys from phoenix. Wyatt was cool, quiet and a little shy but cool. Rylan was now smitten with Leah and that was great in itself. I'm glad she's finally found her soul mate. She's going to be even happier from now on to have someone to share things with. Nate was…well, Nate. That's the only way to explain him, there is now words. He was an acquired taste and I'm not sure that I could fully understand him. Knowing that he had had my Bella made me dislike him even more. It was better with Rylan because now he was Leah's.

So the guys were talking about football and listening out for the girls conversation. Me, I was busy watching Bella's ass in those tight leather pants. Dang, those things cupped her backside perfectly and stretch even tighter with every one of her footfalls. I could really see the swing of her hips, the tantalizing sway that made my body harden.

Her t-shirt had ridden up a little, exposing a strip of the smooth, creamy skin at the small of her back.

"Sam is so fine!"

All our attention turned toward the group of girls as they walked through the crowd. I felt Bells tense up even though she was far from me. It had been Ava that spoke and Wyatt, Rye and Nate started laughing.

"Hmm, really I hadn't noticed." Bells mumbled, Kim and Leah threw their heads back and laughed, to which Bella smacked them both on the arm.

"How could you not notice? He was all over you. I hope you've been getting some!" Evelyn said, flipping her honey blonde hair over her shoulder.

I looked at Bella balled fists that hung at her sides. I felt somewhat happy that she felt something when they talked about me like that. It was jealousy and even anger, I shouldn't smile at the thought of her feeling that but I couldn't help it.

"Oh, yeah. Mmm, he looked built too; I wonder what he looks like under the clothes." Sofia giggled.

The guys all looked at me and I shrugged. I didn't now what was going on but it felt as if they were paying an unnatural amount of attention on me. But hey, they're women, like I have a hope in hell of figuring them out.

"Ah nothing amazing, what about…Paul, huh, he's hot isn't he?" Bella said, Paul smiled proudly and I smacked him on the arm. I sure hope she doesn't really think Paul is hot otherwise I'd have to have a chat with her.

"Hmm, he's alright but Sam is the bomb. Wowza, that man is sex on legs." Sofia said. The girls carried on walking; I guess there was a shop at the other side of the mall that they were heading to.

Bella's chest rumbled slightly, only enough for the wolves to hear. Leah turned to her and smirked.

"So, how was your flight?" Bella asked, trying to change the subject. Her advance was completely ignored.

"The things I would do to Sam if he was mine." Evelyn said in a dreamy voice.

"Well, he's not yours he's mine!" Bella half yelled and then slapped her hand against her mouth, as if trying to shove the words back in. My mouth dropped open as the guys looked at me, in either happiness — as it was from the wolves — or shock, which the humans were showing. My lips stretched into a huge smile.

She had called me hers. Yay. I feel the infantile need to jump up and down and scream out how much I loved her in front of the entire mall.

All the girls were smiling brightly at Bella. Giggling as Bella's wide eyes looked around, trying to see if anyone had heard which of course, they had.

"At last. I can't believe it took that long. I thought you would have cracked when Ava called him 'fine'." Evelyn laughed. Tapping a red stiletto covered foot against the ground.

"I didn't say that ok." Bella mumbled, running a hand through her soft hair. Just remembering how that hair felt between my fingers made my heart skip.

"Oh, you said it alright." Kim giggled, "When will you just give in?"

"Never." Bella called dramatically. The girls all giggled at her, "Oh, I don't know. I cant keep away for much longer."

God, I hope she couldn't stay away from me. I needed her so much. Everything about her calls to me. Her kind chocolate eyes that can shoot fire when she's pissed, the bright contagious smile, the soft creamy skin. And her, everything that is Bella. Funny, kind, loving and the moments when her dark— darker side takes over, when she stands up for her friends. Some part of me even likes the stubbornness that's kept her from me for this long.

"Well, hurry up. We cant wait much longer, its too suspenseful." Kim whined.

"Oh, shush…lets get ice cream." Bella said.

"Its not even noon yet." Evelyn raised her eyebrows.

"Sam would buy me ice cream." Bella smirked and the rest of the girls started laughing.

Bells flipped her hair back over her shoulder, turning her head to the side. She stiffened and crinkled her nose slightly.

"Shit" I mumbled and us guys ran to hide behind things. I hid behind a pillar, which in itself was a stupid idea cause the pillar width-wise was thinner than my shoulders.

I knew when she spotted me and my skin burned with her gaze. Not the ah-shit-I'm-on-fire kind of burn, more like a slow smouldering warmth that penetrated deep and left me wanting more.

Then it became the ah-shit-I'm-on-fire kind of burn as I knew she was glaring at me. I stepped out from behind the pillar, prepared to face my doom.

Bella POV

"I cant believe they were spying on us." I whined as the guys lined up, all looking guilty, in front of us.

Kim glared at Jared, "You should be ashamed of yourself." she scolded, he nodded glumly. It was pretty funny.

"As you're punishment you have to be our bag boys for the rest of the shopping trip. Sam is assigned to Bella, Jared to Kim, Nate to Ava, Rylan to Leah, Wyatt to Evelyn and Paul you can be my bag-boy." Sofia said, "The others can carry the odd bag here and there."

"I don't think they'd be able to pick you up, Sofia." Nate smirked. Sofia smacked him as the others laughed.

"I am not a bag!"

"Whatever keeps you sane at night." Nate replied.

"Bitch." was Sofia's comeback.

We all huffed away, towards Hot Topic. The boys following…which is the thing they obviously do the best. We ran into the store and went crazy. I ended up buying so much stuff. T-shirts with Spongebob, Charlie the unicorn and Tokio Hotel on. A Metro Station t-shirt and a Hello Kitty shirt. I got a short red, white and black plaid skirt with black lace trim, and a few pairs of skinny's, ranging in colour.

I also got some really cute Punkrose, black and pink, extra high tops. They are awesome. And some cool black heart shaped glasses.

The others bought quite a bit also. It was funny to see Sam waddle out with and my bags. I could get used to it.

We went to a few more shops. Popping into Victoria Secret to grab a few pairs of panties and some bras. Sam squirmed the entire time, and even resorted to whispering a few things in my ear that made the elderly lady next to us blush. I didn't think women as old as she shopped in VS, but hey, to each their own.

I brought some nice jeans and shirts in another shop and some more jewellery. Sam got some shorts and then brought some CD's, he got Hinder's album so I guess he really did like them. He also begged me to let him buy all the clothes I bought but I denied him every time.

It was about two o'clock when we decided to visit our last shop and then afterward grab something to eat and then go home.

Pandora's box was easy to spot, even though it was in the furthest part of the mall, down a right turn, corridor. I didn't think they had shops like these, actually inside malls, I thought it would be in a street somewhere, but apparently Seattle was different.

The floor to ceiling windows of the shop were blacked out, with 'Pandora's Box' written in red writing, one word on each window. The door was slap bang in the middle and had the word 'Push' written above the handle.

We left Collin and Brady and Seth to sit outside, guarding the bags. Ignoring Collin and Brady's whining and pleading to be allowed in. they would never get away with it. Seth wasn't that bothered, the cutie pie, he just sat on the bench and put his Ipod on.

I blew Collin and Brady a kiss and told them I'd bring them a souvenir, to which I automatically scrunched my face up with an audible 'Ew', I should really think before I speak.

I pushed to door open and emerge myself in the wonderfully wicked world of adult toys. I felt Jacob's breath rush out on the back of my neck and knew he was in awe…so sweet. Its his, Quil's and Embry's first time in a den of iniquity.

The room was large, but more long the wide. To the left of the door there was an entire wall of interesting looking battery-operated boyfriends. Some looking relatively normal and others…not quite so normal…and some downright weird. Before us stood two chest-height isles of things that included edible panties, blindfolds covered in spiked, whips and many other things.

On from that there were two mannequins marking either side of a step. Both mannequins were dolled up, blindfolded and gagged, one was wearing a leather bikini teddy that really didn't cover much of anything and the other was in a leather corset that left its breasts bare except for two tiny leather pasties.

Down the step were racks of lingerie and role-play costumes. A floor to ceiling shelf that held some books and another shelf the same that held many DVD's.

To the right of the door there was the cash register, resting on a glass counter, a plastic container of long feathers and a few penis shaped suckers sat on top of it. Behind the counter was a man, he was large, about 6'5", bodybuilder frame and covered in tattoos. He was actually good-looking, with wavy chocolate hair that fell to his shoulders and a slight shadow over his chiselled cheeks.

"Hi there." He drawled, coming out from behind the counter and walking towards us. He looked at me and his eye became hooded…smouldering. "I'm Butch. This is my store. What are you looking for today?" I think he was addressing everyone but he didn't take his eyes from mine. He held out his hand and I shook it.

"Just taking a look around." I smiled.

"Well, what are you guys into. That will give me an idea on where you can start. Are you all new to sex toys?"

I giggled and shook my head, Leah and the phoenix girls just smirked and Kim blushed, making us all giggle. Butch chuckled and smiled kindly.

"Don't be embarrassed. Everyone has to start somewhere." he said.

"Yeah, this is just the beginning." I said and Kim blushed even more as Jared groaned in frustration.

"Do I have to be here."

"Yes." Leah said.

"But its driving me mad."

"That's the point." Kim snapped and then groaned if annoyance when she remembered that she had to be nice to him. Butch raised his eyebrows.

"Bedroom troubles." I whispered in his ear.

"Not getting enough?" he whispered back.

"Not getting any, she's as horny as hell. We brought her here for her frustrations." I smirked and he chuckled.

"Well, how about you just look around, Darlin'. That way you wont have to be embarrassed around me." he said to Kim.

She smiled gratefully, "That might help."

"Here I'll help you." Leah said and grabbed a basket for Kim and one for herself as the others dispersed around the shop, some with baskets and others just fumbling around, not really sure where to look.

Butch handed me a basket and I handed it straight to Sam. That's his punishment, it wasn't going to change now.

"Right, show me the bestsellers." I said to Butch, he smiled, "I'm Bella, by the way."

"Well, hi Bella. Come this way. Where are you guys from?"

"La Push."

He led me straight to the wall of vibrators and picked up a long slim one. He pulled it from the packaging to show me all the different features. Every once in a while he brushed his body against mine and I felt his arousal against my hip, encased in his jeans. Not that I need that as proof, us wolves could smell his lust.

"Its also waterproof…" he informed, stroking the tip of the neon green toy down my bare arm, in what was possibly a weird flirting move. I could feel Sam, tense and mad behind me.

After a thorough description from Butch I grabbed one that was sealed in its packaging and purple instead of green and threw it in the basket that Sam was gripping. I was hoping to get him riled up.

I looked over to see Leah throwing things into Kim basket, left, right and centre. Kim's eyes were wide with either wonder or fear…I couldn't figure out which. Jacob was holding up a hanger that had a short nuns costume attached to it.

"That is so wrong." He muttered. I had to agree.

I looked at the isle items and threw in a pair of black leather handcuffs to add to my collection. The Pink Box was definitely going to get some new arrivals today.

I grabbed a jar of chocolate body paint and held it up.

"If you are interested in that I have a sample." Butch said before rushing to the other side of the counter and pulling out a taster jar. He got a plastic spoon and scooped some up before transferring it to his finger, which he then held in front of my lips.

"Here, taste." He smirked. Sam growled from beside us and just to piss him off, I lent forward and sucked the full length of Butch's finger into my mouth. I swirled my tongue around it, gathering the taste of the chocolate. I was suddenly hit with a wave of the aroma of fresh arousal from Butch.

"Yummy." I said as I pulled his finger from my mouth with a 'pop'.

Butch gave me a hooded glance as I scooped my finger in the rest of the chocolate that was on the spoon and turned towards Sam.

"Try some." I held my finger to his lips and with a smouldering look he took it into his mouth.

My stomach fluttered as his warm, sensuous tongue encircled the pad of my fingertip while he held my hand in his to keep it in his mouth. He nipped my flesh ever so gently with his teeth while he stared at me with a hot, needful look.

His scent washed over me. The aroma of woods and man that was my own personal aphrodisiac. He pulled me closer as Butch wandered to help Embry, who was staring in awe at the range of dirty movies they had to offer.

"Don't ever touch another man like that again. It kills me." he mumbled, although his voice was steel. I felt bad for teasing him like that, now.

"I'm sorry." I said honestly. He seemed to see that I was being sincere and nodded slightly.

"Come on then, Big boy. Lets see what else there is in here."

I chucked a jar of the body paint in the basket and jumped down the step, into the lingerie section.

"That stuff was nice." Sam said, talking about the body paint.

"I know." I smirked suggestively and he smiled back.

Straight away I spotted a cute shorty robe. It was sheer red lace, and reached mid-thigh. The thing was so see through but so cute. I grabbed my size and threw it in the basket, giggling at Sam's groan.

"What the fuck." Nate yelled, we all turned to look at him as he waved a massive dildo around in the air. "I could beat someone to death with this." he said incredulously. My mouth was hanging open in shock and awe at the huge purple toy.

"That's called 'The great American challenge'" Butch informed.

"I can see why." Wyatt gulped.

"Please, tell me people don't actually buy this thing." Nate said. Butch chuckled.

"Some do."

"What, to drive posts into the ground with. This thing is a freakin' giant." Nate shuddered and proceeded to drop the monstrosity, only to catch it before it hit the ground at put it back. He shuddered again.

I turned back just in time to catch Sam chucking a black lace baby doll in the basket and raised my eyebrows at him. He just looked at me innocently and shrugged.

"That was a bit presumptuous." I drawled. He smirked.

"Nah, it wasn't really. It would look lovely on you anyways, baby."

I shook my had and grabbed a few books. One titled, 'Tickle His Pickle' and another was a guide to 'super hot sex', also a few hot erotic novels. All for Kim and Jared of course. I figure they both needed to do a little reading to up their confidence before they jump head first into anything.

Everyone had paid for their stuff when I got to the counter. Jared was holding two bulging black bags. His cheeks flushed and he kept shifting his weight from one foot to the other. Some of the others had bags some didn't.

When Butch rang everything up and handed my bags to me. I gave him my credit card and gave Sam the bags. Butch gave me back my card and smiled.

"Hey, can I have your number?" he asked, everything became silent.

"Why?" I asked innocently.

He looked a bit put out now, "Erm…so I can inform you when new stock has arrived." he cleared his throat.

"What, a really realistic dildo that has a 6'5", heavily tattooed, muscle man attached to it?" Nate said, raising his eyebrows.

Butch smiled a little, "Well…Yeah, basically. It's a popular one."

"Eww…that's a bit man-whorish" I said.

He smiled even more, "If you got it flaunt it."

I giggled, when I was suddenly pulled into a set of arms and Sam's lips covered mine. I got to caught up in the kiss before I remembered where we were. I pulled back and hit Sam on the arm gently.

"Ok, see ya, Butch." I called and we left Pandora's Box behind us.

Collin and Brady kept asking to see what we got, but we wouldn't allow them. So they sulked…that was funny.

We went to the food court and all got our different stuff before sticking three tabled together near the back and sitting down. I slurped my coke and bit my meatball subway. Mmm, heaven.

Sam, who was sitting opposite me, held out a chilly fry for me. I leant forward and took it in my mouth, he had some sauce on his finger so I sucked it off. I offered him a bite of my sandwich and he smiled before taking some.

I heard some rustling and then chuckles. I turned just in time to see Kim stuff a napkin in her pocket with a worried look. I narrowed my eyes at her and dived. Grabbing the napkin and unfolded it. I growled low at what was written on it.

In Evelyn's cute handwriting it said;

Are they always like this, they really need to get a room.

X

Underneath that was Kim's handwriting;

Yep, they never stop acting like this. Always back and forth. Sam is at the end of his tether and is so desperate. They so need a room!

"Hey, we do not need a room!" I pouted.

"Well, I wouldn't object." Sam mumbled and everyone laughed.

"You needed a room when you had your hand down his shorts." Leah smirked.

I blinked, "That was different…I was drunk."

"They speak the truth, baby." Sam said.

I raised my eyebrows, "Hmm, maybe they do. They did call you desperate, after all." I smirked.

"What, give me that." he reached for the note, read it and then glared at the others, which just made them…and me…laugh.

After we had filled ourselves to the brim, we made the long trek back to the car. At least the boys were carrying the bags. After filling various trunks, everyone got in their cars. Kim and Leah went with Jared this time as the gang piled into my Bellamobile. Rylan in shotgun. Wyatt, Nate and Evelyn sitting in the back, with Ava and Sofia in their laps. The seat belts stretched across them all, to keep them in place.

I wasn't sure that this was entirely legal but whatever. I sped out of the parking lot and drove home at my phoenix speed of incredibly-fast.

About ten, maybe fifteen minutes after the gang and I had gotten to my house, the others arrived. I was laughing with my girls and guys when Sam came storming in. His face told me he was angry. Everyone stilled and looked at him. The other guys piled in the house warily and sat around.

"Do you know how fast you were going? You were speeding, you lucky you didn't get pulled over. You should respect the law." I felt as is he wanted to add 'young lady' on the end of that sentence.

I raised my eyebrows at him, "What are you going to do? Arrest me?" I said sarcastically, then stretched my arms out, my wrists touching. "I've been a very bad girl, Officer." I drawled, and heard Sam gulp.

"What is going on?" Nate asked, I could see the gang were confused.

"Sam's a police officer. He works with dad." I informed.

"That is so hot." Evelyn whooped, she had always had a thing for men in uniform.

"And annoying." I added, Sam glared at me.

"Don't do it again. You could have gotten hurt." he scolded, I just rolled my eyes.

We spent a while just catching up. Talking even more about things back in Phoenix. We ate Chinese take-away for dinner, ordering just about the entire menu…two times over. We chucked a movie in the DVD player…27 Dresses, it was. And watched that. I think everyone was going to be crashing around the house tonight. A few on the couch, a few in my bed, a few on the floor, etc…

At about 10pm, Sam got up from his seat next to me and stretched. All the other wolf boys followed.

"We just have to go do something quick. We shouldn't be too long." Sam smiled, I knew this meant that he and the boys were going for a run.

"Ok, be careful." I dot know why I said it but Sam smiled wider.

"I will, baby." he bent and kissed me gently on the tip of my nose, he waited there, so I tilted my head up a little and captured his lips. I sensed the elation build in him. He whistled a happy tune as he sauntered out of the door. The rest of the wolfy-boys following him.

As soon as the door had shut, the gang whirled around to face me.

"Get with him!" Ava all but screamed. I blinked at her.

"Dude, you two are perfect for each other." Wyatt smiled.

I shook my head and Leah smacked me on the knee. "You know you belong together." she said.

"Totally, we can see it. The way he looks at you…pure love, dude. And you look at him the same way, even if you wish you weren't." Evelyn said, tucking some of her hair behind her ears.

Sofia's mocha skin, glowed in the golden light from the lamp next to her. "Honey, you know its true. You two are like nothing we've ever seen before. With him…you have a future. We all see that."

I coughed, and blinked as tears burned behind my eyes.

"Aww, baby, don't cry. You're safe here. No-one is going to hurt you, Sam wont allow that. don't worry about losing control. We all need to let go sometimes, let Sam keep you whole, let him love you." Ava whispered, I was shocked to hear it from her mouth. She was always the commitment 'phobe.

"Hey, I think…in someway, that I understand how you feel." Rye coughed uncomfortably as Leah smiled greatly, although he did not see that as he was focused on me. "Its all good. You have what some people can only dream about…its obvious to everyone that Sam is your true love. First and Only, huh?"

"First and only." I repeated, agreeing.

"Being with Jared is the greatest thing I have. Just when I think I couldn't love him more, I get surprised. He completes me, even though I may make it difficult sometimes." we all giggled at this, "I'd wait for him. I'd do anything for him. It's the same with you and Sam." Kim smiled at me and pulled me in for a hug. I wrapped my arms around her and held her tight, needing the love that she gave me…that they all gave me.

After her I was embraced by everyone. Leah wiped the few tears that had fallen and left a wet trail down my flushed cheeks. My boys cradled me to them, whispering words of friendship, encouragement and love in my ears. Just having them near again made me see a totally new perspective of things.

I sat and thought about what the guys had said. Its surprising how their opinion had changed my thoughts. I mean, they are human, they know nothing about Imprinting, and they saw that we were meant to be together. That must mean something right?

Was I just being stupid all this time? Dwelling on some miniscule factor that wasn't really part of this whole situation. I was an idiot, I seriously was. Letting my fear and weariness take over.

I looked at Leah and Rylan. He didn't know of their future. He didn't know what was in store for him. He didn't even know that they were soul mates. Yet the way he was looking at her, within a few hours of meeting each other, his eyes light up. He smiles brightly, his chest swelling with what cant be just air but also love and understanding.

He didn't seem to fight it, he didn't seem to want to fight it. He was happy to stare and laugh and smile. He didn't find it scary or overwhelming. Maybe he was just happy to find the one he needed to be with.

I sighed and ran a hand over my face. I saw Kim looking at me and turned to her. She gave me a smile, then turned back to Evelyn. The girls were chatting amongst each other as were the guys.

Rylan looked at me and came over. He sat in my lap and put his arm around my shoulder. Rylan and I are so close. I put my arms around his waist and hugged him to me.

"What's up, buttercup?" he said, smiling kindly.

I sighed, "Nothing, just thinking is all." I placed a kiss on his back.

"You don't have to be afraid you know." he mumbled. I looked up at him and frowned.

"Huh?"

"You know what I'm talking about. If you felt for Sam the same way I felt for Leah the first time I saw her. Then you don't need to be afraid. This is different, this is real. I know that, hell, I've even thought about moving down here and I've only been here a few hours." he sighed happily.

"I'm happy for you Rye. It will be good for you to move down here. Its like a huge family. I love it. Although I miss you guys, you and I belong here." I smiled and he smiled back, and kissed my forehead.

"I love you Bells, I'm glad you're happy, but I know you can be happier." he hopped of my lap before I could respond and went over to Leah, who smiled lovingly at him, her eyes alight with adoration.

I spent another twenty minutes wallowing in my thoughts before I came to a decision. Just as I did the front door opened and the guys came in from patrol. They all walked in the door, laughing and joking. They all piled into the living room, and sat down on the floor. Sam was the last to come in the living room.

As soon as he did I jumped out of my seat, a huge smile on my face, and pounced at him. We collided hard and sent him flying back. He fell with a thud to his back and I landed on top of him.

He looked up at me and smiled. I smiled back.

"Did my boyfriend have a good time with the boys?" I asked, giggling at his confused look.

"Boyfriend?"

"Yeah, that would be you, silly." I giggled, suddenly his smile grew so huge, I was almost blinded.

He rolled me over, so that he was on top and laughed happily. He kissed me long and hard. And then went into a sweet, tender kiss that rocked my soul. When he pulled back his smile was still large and toothy.

"I had a great time. Did my girlfriend have a good time with her friends?" he asked, the word 'girlfriend' said smooth and slowly. He rolled the word around his tongue and he definitely liked the sound of it.

"I did." I giggled again, on a high.

He looked up at the gang behind me, "What ever you said to her…thanks." he kissed me again.

"Jeez can his smile get any bigger?" I heard Paul say.

"I love you." I sung, and I'll be damned his smile grew.

"Apparently so." I heard Jake answer Paul's question.

"I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you!" Sam voiced, kissing every part of my face. "God, you're mine, mine, mine. Ah, I'm so happy, baby. You make me so happy"

Wow, I've never seen Sam this excited. It was exhilarating.

I fisted my hands in his hair, "Kiss me baby" I whispered.

He didn't need to be told twice, his lips crashed against mine and his tongue sought entry straight away. Of course I opened for him at caressed his tongue as feverously as he caressed mine.

"Ok, ok. Break it up, we were going to watch a movie." Jake nudged me.

With a groan I pulled back and cupped Sam's cheek. Stroking my thumb across his cheekbone.

"Come on, honey. Lets watch the film." I said.

He sighed, "Ok, although I cant promise that I'll actually be watching it."

"Me neither." I giggled.

We got up off the floor and turned to all the smiling faces who suddenly burst out into laughter, whoops and claps.

I smiled and pulled Sam over to the armchair and pushed him down into the chair and hopped onto his lap. He pulled me in close and nuzzled my neck, wrapping his arms around my waist.

"At last." the guys said and the gang chanted "Bella, Bella, Bella!"

"Shut up! What are we watching?" I giggled.

"Juno." Sofia yelled, she loves that film. "Vampire's rule" she coughed.

"Fuck vampires my friend. Werewolves are the shitz, they is gangsta man." I said. They all laughed at me.

"Never use that accent again, baby. Its horrible." Sam whispered in my ear.

"I know." I giggled, I was so happy, my house could have exploded and I would have laughed.

Throughout the movie, Sam and I made out. I couldn't keep my hands off of him and he was just the same. We kissed and groped, ignoring the others as they shushed us and threw pillows at us.

Giving in, was definitely the best thing I've ever done.
