"I've been a lot of lonely places; I've never been on the outside."-Taylor Swift

For some reason I couldn't stop dreaming about Jacob. Every night I would have the same dream.

There he was, standing in front of me with a small smile on his face. We were in a dark forest, all alone.

He walked closer and closer to me until we were inches apart. I could feel his breath on my lips.

"I love you," he'd whisper slowly, tracing his hands up and down my body.

But then I woke up.

The rest of the guys started noticing too, and they hated me for dreaming about her. I realized that if I dreamed of him, so did the rest of the guys. Which meant Jacob saw my dreams.

It made me feel vulnerable to have him see them, and I hated feeling vulnerable. It was the worst feeling in the world. I was always a strong and confident guy, so feeling vulnerable was terrible.

I loved Jacob more than anything in world that not having him with me made me physically and mentally sick. I wouldn't eat or sleep. And when I did sleep, I had that dream. It wasn't very helpful to have him in my thoughts all the time. I couldn't relax because he wasn't with me. I had a duty to protect him, and I wasn't even with him. My wolf told me to go find him, but I didn't want to scare him more than he was already scared. I had to let him get used to this before I tried anything. I would never do anything that could result in him leaving me. I didn't like this imprinting stuff very much.

But I never hated it more than when I saw that leech lover.

We were walking to get Jacob from his house when we saw her run out towards us. Immediately I thought she was there, fucking Jacob, and that's what got me angry to begin with. She never should've been there. Jacob knew he wasn't allowed to see her.

"What did you do to him?" she screamed, running towards us. "He didn't want this!"

"What did we do?" I growled at her with wide eyes. I was already so angry. "What did he do? What did he tell you?"

"BOTH OF YOU CALM DOWN!" Sam ordered.
Bella scoffed at me. "Nothing! He tells me nothing cause he's scared of you."

I laughed out loud; Jacob wasn't scared of us at all. If anything, he thought he could control us.

But then she slapped me. I was gone.

"Paul don't!" Sam ordered.

My breathing started becoming irregular. I was so angry that I could barely control myself.

"Too late now," Jared chuckled.

"Bella get back!" Sam warned. He turned to me, but I couldn't hear him. "Paul, Paul calm down now!"

Everything was red as I phased. I snapped and growled until I saw another wolf come at me. It was Jacob, and he pushed me into the woods.

"What do you think you're doing?" he screamed at me through his thoughts.

"She slapped me, and she's messing with my imprint!" I growled back. "You guys could've been doing anything in there! You're mine Jacob!"
"We weren't doing anything!" he said. "I didn't even know she came over until I heard the yelling! I was sleeping!"
"Stay away from her Jacob! You're mine."

"I'll do whatever I damn please! You're not the boss of me."
Finally, I got him pinned under me. He showed his neck to me. I bit it gently before we both ended up phasing back. There he was, naked bellow me. I couldn't help myself.

Instead of biting his exposed neck again, I kissed it gently. I kept kissing it, and the most surprising part was that he didn't budge. He staid right there under me, still showing me his neck. I kissed up to his mouth, and we shared the most amazing kiss of my entire life. I couldn't believe what was happening, but I didn't stop. I couldn't stop, even if it was just a kiss.

I think Jake finally came to his senses because he opened his eyes and pushed me off him.

"Don't do that again," he growled.

"Kiss you?" I teased.

He looked at me seriously, brushing himself off. "No, phase in front of her and try to touch her again."
I was surprised as I walked towards him, draping my arm around his waist. "So, I can kiss you again?"
He looked at me with wide eyes. "Maybe. Just don't touch her again."
I smirked and kissed his neck. "Don't worry; I'll only be touching you."
"Paul," he whispered. "Paul, please stop. Not now; not yet. I'm- I'm not ready."
I looked up at him with a smile. "Alright, baby, but you're still mine, not hers."
He rolled his eyes. "They took her to Emily's. Let's go."
"I'd rather stay here with you," I whispered huskily into his ear, nipping it softly.

"Paul, I know this is gonna make you mad, but I need to check on her. This was all my fault."

"She can wait." I licked his earlobe. "I know how much you like this Jacob."
"Paul, later," he said, and I knew he was just saying it to get me off him.

"I'm holding you to that," I breathed, pulling away from him. I saw him shudder.

He gulped. "Oh-okay."
We ran to Sam and Emily's and phased when we got back. There was a delicious smell coming from the house, and I was kind of excited to eat. I was starving. Jacob was with me, and I stopped feeling sick.

Jacob and I walked in, but he immediately left to talk to Bella. Jared and Embry were staring at me.

"So," Jared started. "What happened?"
I smirked at him. "We kissed."

"Eww!" Embry squealed like a little girl.

Jared chuckled. "Then why is he out there with Bella?"
I shrugged. "Because he's a good boy. He said this was all his fault and he needed to make sure she was okay."

Sam walked into the room. "Paul, what did I tell you about controlling your anger?"
"I know, Sam," I muttered.

"Jacob would've never forgiven you if you hurt her."

"I know."
He sighed. "I'm not trying to be your dad, but, God dammit Paul, control your anger."
I sighed. "Okay."
"So what does this mean now?" Embry asked.

I smirked. "It means he's mine. And no one can take that away from me."
