So, this took me for-FUCKING-ever to write! This is literally the sixth version of this chapter that I have written so I really hope you guys enjoy this! I apologize for the long wait (I really can't believe it's almost been a full year since I've updated) and I hope that I haven't lost too many of you over the wait. This is the final chapter of this story but it is not the end of the story of Jacob and Casey but I do believe this is the chapter you have all been waiting for!


Jacob POV

The wind blowing through my fur for the first time in what felt like weeks, felt beyond amazing. The truth though was that it had only been a few days since the Newborn War. This was the first time that I had even been allowed out of bed aside from using the bathroom. While I had loved how Casey had taken care of me and had taken charge, putting me in my place a couple of times, I really wanted to put her in her place.

Where? Under you? Quil asked making the pack howl with laughter. Paul even tripped over his paws at the joke.

Casey even laughed from her spot on my back. "You know I can't wait to be in that exact spot tonight," she whispered seductively in my ear.

A mixture of howls and cat calls accompanied the comment and I growled at the dumb fucks which succeeded in making her laugh.

"I better go, baby," she said kissing me just below my ear. "I'll see you tonight." She launched herself off of my back, straight up into the trees to god knows where.

You lucky son of a bitch, Paul said. You finally get to tap that.

Crude, Leah commented snapping at his tail.

What? Like no one else has thought it?

Not that blatantly, Embry said.

I'll see you guys later. I have to go get ready. With that I phased out and went into the house to shower. My heart was going a million miles an hour; after this ceremony Casey and I would be considered married in her culture. Married at sixteen and a father by seventeen probably. The sound of that was so wrong though. With what Casey and I had gone through, we should have at least been in our late twenties or something. I used the soap that Casey has given me.

I smiled at the memory of her telling me how to get ready for the Bonding.

.

"Ok, first thing you're going to do is wash with this," she handed me a small bar of soap it smelled earthy and very masculine. I couldn't really imagine Casey washing with something that smelled like this… "You're gonna wash with that and ONLY that," she stressed as she stared into my eyes making sure I was paying attention.

"Only wash with this. Got it," I said with a smile humoring her. She was stressed out about this I could tell but she was trying to hide it as much as possible.

"Normally someone gifted with fire would dry you but you'll use this instead," she said handing me a linen towel. Then you can just wear jeans with this," she said handing me a simple white button down long sleeve shirt that was a similar material to the towel. It felt really organic and a little rough but soft at the same time. I looked up from the fabric and saw Casey chewing on her lip which almost always meant she was worrying about something.

"Case, what is it?"

"I've dreamed bout this day coming. About how perfect it would be and how I would have the perfect man for me," she smiled up at me. "I always thought about how I wanted the day to go but now, I don't care how it is for me. I only care that the day is perfect to you." Her smile grew even larger, "I guess that's how you know you truly love someone."

.

I couldn't disagree with Paul. I was looking forward to the part after the Bonding but the part that I was most excited about was tying myself to Casey for the rest of our lives together. I would have the girl of my dreams for the rest of my life. I turned off the shower and dried off with the towel that Casey had given me before putting the only pair of jeans I had that for one, fit me and two, weren't cut offs. I then put on the shirt deciding to just leave it unbuttoned since I would sweat through the thing otherwise and rolled the sleeves up to my elbows.

I started heading for the door when my dad called to me.

"There's something that you need to know before you Bond with Casey," he said patting the couch, indicating that I should sit.

Once I was settled he started speaking. "You have a great responsibility as the future Alpha of this pack. One of them is to have a mate that knows you better than you know yourself so that she can balance you."

I opened my mouth about to speak.

"I know, Casey does balance you but the wolf has another way of ensuring that. You'll have to mark her."

"What do you mean mark?"

"You'll have to bite her."

"Like a leech?!"

"No! It won't change her other than infuse some of yourself into her. It'll help to speed up her healing time, make her stronger… Things like that. It protects the Alpha's mate. It will also infuse your scent with hers so that no other male will try to take her."

My wolf was squirming in happiness at the thought that no other male could take her from us.

"How will I know when to…"

"You'll just know," he said with that ridiculous smirk on his face.

"Thanks, Dad."

Casey POV

I was freaking out! I was Bonding…TONIGHT! How was this even possible? I should have died long ago and never gotten to this point! Where were the damn bathrooms in this house?!

Oh, right…Up stairs.

Edward was having a great time with me stressing out. He was just sitting on the couch laughing up a storm at the panicked thoughts running through my mind. Four hours before my Bonding I couldn't use any of my powers aside from the elements which meant blonde hair and blue eyes and no mental shield! Damn it all!

Another laugh from down stairs.

Shut up, Edward!

I dashed into the shower that I had finally located not knowing whose it was…

"Rosalie and Emmet's!" Edward yelled up the stairs.

Ew! Gross! I was probably stepping in Emmet's vampire spunk. I quickly got out of the shower and dashed into a different one all the while Edward's laughter filled the house.

FUCK OFF!

I finally showered and paid special attention to my feet. It would probably be better to just cut them off. I finally got out of the shower and heated my body so the water evaporated from it. I stepped into my dress. It was almost pure white and hand made. No machines what so ever. It had a deep v in the front and the back, with small ruffles along the neckline. It had sleeves but there were large cutouts leaving my shoulders exposed. It stopped right at mid-thigh, leaving my creamy legs exposed.

I took a deep breath and walked to Carlisle's office. I stood at the door waiting for him to finish whatever he was working on at his computer.

"Ready?" he inquired finally looking up at me.

I nodded.

He stood and walked over to me, enfolding me in his arms. "I would give anything for your parents to be here with you."

"Me, too," I whispered.

"Right now though, we need to get to the clearing," he stated, pulling away from me and giving a small smile.

I nodded and we walked out of the house together.

Jacob POV

I was nervous; so incredibly nervous. My heart was pounding, I felt warm everywhere,—even more that usual—my palms were sweating, my eyes were dancing around the empty clearing searching for her. Maybe I actually wasn't nervous but excited. Yeah, I was excited. I was going to be tied to the girl of my dreams, my soul mate, for the rest of my life. What guy wouldn't want that? Especially with Faith? She was so incredible; stubborn but kind, fierce when provoked but a softy at heart, a quick temper but would give her life for anyone she cared for. She was smart and beautiful; a deadly combination when she made use of it, especially when she used it on me. I was a goner. The things she made me feel could bring me to my knees if I weren't frozen by the emotions that would pass through her eyes. She always hid her emotions when we were in public but when the two of us were alone, she was an open book to me, expressing every single little emotion through her eyes.

A slight wind blew and her intoxicating smell filled my nose and lungs. It filled me and made my heart beat even faster than before. She stepped from the shadows of the trees looking every bit the goddess that she held inside. The way she moved made my breath catch in my throat. She moved in such a seductive way, so fluid and gracefully. Her hips moving from side to side making me think of a wave. She was just so incredibly beautiful. Every time I saw her without her hiding her true self, it would feel like I had re-imprinted on her. Over and over and I never grew tired of the feeling.

He lips moved into something between a smile and a smirk. I knew she couldn't read my mind at the moment but what I was thinking was probably plain as day on my face. I hadn't even notice Carlisle until he cleared his throat with a smile on his face. Yep, my face was definitely an open book right now.

She stepped up to me and took my hands in hers with the bit of a smirk falling away completely to leave a pure smile and I vowed to put more of those beautiful smiles on her face.

"Are you both ready?" Carlisle asked from beside us.

"Do you really need to ask?" Faith responded not looking away from my eyes.

Carlisle chuckled before falling silent with closed eyes. Then, very quietly, he began chanting in a language I didn't recognize. The words flowed from his mouth without a pause or hitch in his breathing. The world around us seemed to grow quiet before disappearing all together as his chanting grew louder. I felt drunk, my mind moved slowly and my body felt sluggish and almost weak like the only thing holding me up was Casey's grip on my hands. Everything looked fuzzy except for Faith who looked crystal clear. I felt a pain on my wrist which I quickly forgot about once Casey's wrist was pressed against mine. My heart started beating faster as a burning that started from where Casey's skin touched mine moved its way slowly through my veins, up my arm making me feel like something was building within me but what it was I had no idea. No longer was Carlisle chanting, instead it seemed as if the very heavens and the earth had begun to speak the same words. I felt the words reverberate through my very body making me feel weak. My eyes met Casey's and I was lost. She wasn't what held me to the world, she was my world.

The fire had almost reached my heart and the wolf was roaring, wanting to have his mate in every way possible. A gasp left her perfect lips causing the wolf to instantly quiet in concern for our mate before he recognized the expression on her face. Complete and utter passion and pleasure. Her eyes fluttered shut as her hand that wasn't pressed to mine clutched at my bicep as her body arched into mine. Then, I understood why she had gasped. My spare arm wrapped around her waist as the fire finally reached my heart and made it wash over me. It was pure unadulterated pleasure, it was unrestrained love, it was heart-crushing pain, it was such powerful passion that I couldn't move or make a sound, it was burning anger at the people who had ever dared to hurt this woman. I felt it all because of this woman, my woman. And she would be mine forever.

.

When thought finally returned to me, I was holding Case tight against my chest with both of us breathing in short, ragged gasps. I felt more exhausted than I had ever had as a wolf but at the same time I also felt stronger than I ever had. I looked down at Case and she looked a couple of inches shorter. Did she shrink?

A laugh came from her as she looked up at me with tired but blissful eyes. "I didn't shrink, you grew."

"Why in the hell would I grow?"

"Cause you absorbed Hecate and Yang. Your body probably responded to the extra power by growing," Casey replied.

"You probably are feeling light-headed too, Faith," Carlisle said. I had forgotten that he was even there.

"Slightly and a bit weaker too but it somehow feels good," she said looking confused.

"No body or mind is meant to hold five separate entities within it as you did. You'll feel better now that you only have three. You will feel more balanced."

"Thank the Goddess."

"So what do I do with Hecate and Yang?"

Casey turned her eyes back to me, "Not too much will change. You'll be stronger, faster, have more endurance. You'll probably be able to shield your mind too. It varies from Bond to Bond with what they're able to do with what they're given."

"Can I control the elements? Or fly?"

She shook her head. "Only a thing for the Carlyles."

"Damn, I wanted to fly."

She laughed giving me the most sincere smile I had ever seen on her face.

Carlisle cleared his throat causing both of us to startle slightly and turn to him. He was staring at Faith with a mixture of sadness and nervousness on his normally serene face. "I know that I might be over stepping my bounds but I felt that this tradition should be kept," he said softly as he pressed something into her hands.

There laid a pair of keys, shiny and new without a scratch or trace of dirt on them.

Casey's eyes widened and then started to fill with tears as she gave Carlisle a one armed hug since her arm was still tied to mine. "Thank you. You're not over stepping anything. I always thought of you as a second father."

"What are the keys for?" I asked completely lost on what was going on.

"A house," Case said wiping away her stray tears. "It's customary that the father would build a house for the newly Bonded couple."

"But you didn't build it right? You just bought it."

Carlisle shook his head in answer to my question. "I did have help with the design. Esme went through both architecture and engineering school so she was qualified to make sure that the house does not fall down around you but I did build it all myself. Esme once again helped with the interior design as well. It's right above Strawberry Bay. Sam gave me permission to build it for the two of you."

"I—thank you. That really—" I started but Carlisle held up his hand to silence me.

"I need to no thanks. I am happy to do this for the two of you and your future family. Go. Enjoy the rest of your night."

.

"Where the fuck is this place supposed to be?" I growled. We had been looking for this place for over an hour and we still could not find the turn off. Casey was being of no help since she would start to say something then would start laughing like crazy. I even rolled down the window and started driving at only ten miles per hour to try and catch a scent of the leech but so far nothing. I knew Casey knew exactly where it was since she said she could now actually hear the trees and the earth talking to her but I was too proud at the moment to ask for her help.

"You've passed the road twenty times now. It's right—"

"Don't say anything! I'm going to find where my own damn house is!"

Cue the laughing. Then a tree bent down and blocked the road from me going any further.

I stopped and glared at Casey whose only response was to smirk and raise an eyebrow at me.

I rolled my eyes and turned around just to have another tree do the same thing two minutes later. U-turn, minute and a half later…tree. U-turn, minute later…tree. U-turn, thirty second later…tree. I could now see the tree in front and in back of me and the only way to go was to one of the sides where there was absolutely noth— Oh… There on my side of the car was a small road that was almost shielded completely from view by branches and ferns.

"So, did you find it?" Casey asked as she inspected her nails with a giant smirk on her face.

"You will pay for this later."

She leaned over and whispered in my ear so that I could feel her warm breath on my neck, "I'm looking forward to it."

I quickly turned down the road making Casey laugh and sped as fast as I could down the winding road. It was narrow but thankfully it was actually paved so there were no pot holes or roots to worry about ruining my Rabbit.

After about then minutes of driving we came around a bend and to our left was Strawberry Bay. The road was cut into the steep hill side and gave a fantastic view of the ocean for almost the entire drive.

"Carlisle also said there was a bedroom down stairs if Billy wanted it. Everything in the house is wheelchair accessible."

"He's gonna look out for us a lot isn't he?"

"Yep. You just married into the Cullen family."

I pretended to gag just to make her laugh again. "I'm not really sure if my dad would want to live with us actually. He likes being close to the Elders and Rachel is moving home soon so she can take care of him. It's really about time that she helps out."

"Let's not think about all that," she said placing her hand on my thigh. "Let's just think about us and how amazing the rest of this night is going to be." By the end of her sentence her voice had dropped down into that sexy purr that drove me and set the wolf on edge with wanting to claim his mate.

He was patient for the moment just under the surface pacing back and forth until he had a chance to pounce. Somehow the wolf could sense that it would be wrong to pounce now. I'm sure that was because he was aware of the steep cliff just to my left and the danger that it could pose to his mate.

We turned around the final bend and were faced with a massive house by La Push standards. The house was made out of grey stone with massive windows covering almost every available wall space. The entrance was in the center of the house with a deck that stretched to the left and expanded out over the steep hill. There was also a three car garage that succeeded in distracting me from thoughts of Casey under me for about a minute before a fantasy of her covered in grease working on a car came into my mind.

"Come on!" Casey said jumping out of the car just before the car stopped giving the wolf a heart attack. The fucker was getting more than a little protective but none the less he raced after our mate. I swung her up into my arms making her let out a laugh that sounded just so care free and happy that my knees almost gave out with the want to worship her right there. She unlocked the door since my arms were a little occupied. I carried her over the threshold before I let her slowly slide down my body.

Her navy eyes darkened slightly and she got a mischievous look on her face before she turned and disappeared into the opening to the left. I took a moment to look around and admire what Carlisle had done for us. The entry was small but to me an entry was just a waste of space so this worked for me. Across from the opening that Casey disappeared through was a door that lead into a bedroom that was just large enough for a bed and a couch. Just to the left of that was the stairwell that must lead up to the master suite. Down a small hall was what looked like a large kitchen with a giant open closet stretching the length of the left wall of the hallway.

I went through the opening to my left to find Casey but she wasn't in that room at all. I really shouldn't have called it a room though since the ceiling was easily twenty to thirty feet high. The room stretched from one and of the house to the other doubling as a living room and a dining room. Windows covered almost the entire wall were there was a large fireplace in the centre of the wall with the largest flat screen I had seen mounted on it. There was enough seating to fit the entire pack in here and the same went for the dining room table. I followed the French doors outside to where there was an exact replica of the fireplace inside also outside. The deck was large and would be great to have people over for fun. The most amazing part of the deck though was the un-obscured view of the ocean which Casey was also admiring.

"Carlisle outdid himself," she said not turning away from the view.

"Yes he did." The house was absolutely perfect. Everything we needed and nothing more. I was even more impressed by the fact that I could not even detect a tiny sniff of his scent. All I smelled was pine which was used all over the house and Casey's scent. I couldn't even smell fresh paint.

I walked up behind her and wrapped my arms around her kissing the juncture of her shoulder and neck. With a soft moan she leaned back into me and tilted her head to the side. I continued placing soft kisses up and down her neck taking in the smell of cherry blossoms and peaches that was just uniquely her. At the moment the wolf was drunk on the smell of his mate, a complete puppy that would do anything that she asked of us but that started to change though the moment the heady scent of her arousal reached my nose. The soft kisses turned into nips to taste her skin and my motionless hands moved everywhere over her body that I could possibly reach. Her soft sighs turned into moans and groans that made the wolf growl in hunger.

Suddenly Casey twisted out of my arms with that sexy smirk gracing her lips and her eyes darker than the night. Her hand reached out to me, taking to my hand as she led me back into the house without removing her eyes from mine leaving the wolf salivating. We moved up the stairs and through the double doors that lead into the bedroom. I barely noticed anything other than the king size bed that stood proudly with sheer white drapings and a fluffy red comforter.

Casey took a step back from me releasing my hand as she reached to her shoulders, pushing the thin straps that held the dress up, away causing the dress to fall to the floor. My jaw dropped to the floor at seeing her completely naked in front of me. If only I had known that she was wearing nothing under that dress, we would have never made it back to the house. Before I even registered what I was doing, she was up in my arms, our lips crushed together in a frenzied kiss with our breaths loud in my ears and our teeth clashing together as we tried to get as close together as possible. It wasn't close enough though, not nearly close enough. Even with her legs wrapped around me, with my arms wrapped around her and tangled in her hair. Even with no space being between us, with our lips practically fused together. We were still too far apart. I wanted to crawl inside of her and devour her. Make her mine in every sense of the word.

The emotions I was feeling were tearing me apart, swirling around inside of me like a tornado. She was the tornado slowly pulling me apart piece by piece and rebuilding me just to rip me apart again. She burned me but soothed me. It was then that I saw the truth; we were made for each other but we could also destroy each other. Two strong people whose weakness was the other. To lose the other was to completely lose themselves. I didn't care though, even if I was to lose her tomorrow, I would never change what had happened between us.

I walked to the bed laying her gently down upon the bed as I ravaged her mouth. Once she was below me her hands were pushing the shirt off my shoulders to someplace else in the room that wasn't important. Her nails raked through my hair and down my back causing me to growl into her mouth as the mix of pleasure and pain assaulted me raising goose bumps on my skin. I tore my lips away from hers and kissed a path to her ear.

"Do you know what you're doing to me?" I growled barely even recognizing my voice as I gripped her hips in my hands. "I can barely even control myself," I moaned as I pressed my hips into hers making a gasp that transformed into a whimper to fall from her lips.

"Then don't," she said so softly that I barely even heard her.

"Could you handle it though?" I asked as I gently pinched and rolled her nipple between my fingers. "Could you handle the Alpha?" I continued with even more of a growl working its way into my voice.

"Yes!" she gasped as she trembled beneath me. "Please! Goddess Jake, I need you!"

"Not yet honey," I whispered taking her breast into my mouth.

Another gasp fell from her mouth as she arched into my touch. As much as I loved her breasts, that was not where the wolf wanted to be right now. I wanted to know the taste of the smell that was clogging our nose, driving our mind into a foggy haze of lust. I needed to taste and devour her until she couldn't remember her own name. I slowly kissed my way down her body, pausing with each kiss to suck and nip at her skin making gasps and soft moans to escape her as I tortured her. Her body was tense with her hands gripping at the covers as I approached my destination but as much as I wanted to taste her, I wanted to torture her more. I kissed just around the outside of her causing more strained gasps and breaths move past her lips. My tongue reached out to her, gently parting her folds making her jump and her hands bury themselves into my hair. The combination of her taste and her nails gently scrapping against my scalp made a growl build in the very depths of me.

"Please, Jake," she begged in a voice that made the wolf into a puppy. This was not how I wanted my mate the first time, having to beg me for everything. She was to be worshipped and loved, not taken like an animal.

I took her hands from my head and kissed each palm, "Relax honey."

"Jake," she whispered as a plea.

"I know sweetheart," I said as soothingly as I could while bringing myself up to where I could stare directly into her eyes. "Don't you know that I'll always take care of you?"

"Yes but…"

"I don't want you tense like this," I whispered kissing her softly on the lips. "I only want you to be tense when you're about to fall apart, okay?"

She nodded but her body didn't relax any.

"Roll over."

She gave me a confused look but did as I asked. I carefully straddled her before running my hands up and down her back, warming the skin. She sighed in contentment, relaxing slightly but still not all the way. I gently started pressing along the spine, adding more pressure when I found a knot in the muscle. Her shoulders where almost rock hard with how tense her muscles were. I was afraid that I was hurting her but every time I was about to ask her if she was alright, a soft moan would come from her. She slowly started melting into the mattress and it was then that I started noticing them. No human would see them on her skin and even with my own eyes, I could barely see them but they were still there. Hundreds of scars everywhere on her back overlapping each other with their volume. My hands started tracing the marks. Some were short, only an inch long, others were much longer, the worst traveled from her waist on the left up to her right shoulder. I studied her arms and the small white lines were there too.

Tears clung to my eyes as I gently turned her over and found they were even there on the front of her. Seeing the tears in my eyes, Casey sat up quickly holding my face in her hands as her eyes searched for a reason for my tears.

"The scars."

Her eyes lost all worry as she stared sadly at me. "They'll fade."

"But you still had to feel what caused them."

"Yes, but I wouldn't wish away a single one." She must have read the confusion in my eyes because she continued. "This one is from fighting with a psycho killer," she traced a line that ran across her arm. "This from fighting a vampire that had killed over one thousand people in two months," five parallel lines ran across her stomach. "And this is the one I'm most proud of," she said turning so I could see her back. There, next to her shoulder blade was a thick one inch line. "I stepped in front of a man who was trying to kill a little girl," she turned to face me again. "I don't hate my scars because I think of them as remembrances for the people that I've saved. I can never hate them. Can you?"

"No, because I love the woman who wears them."

She smiled at me.

"I just never noticed them…"

"The City does a good job of healing us so that normal human eyes can't see them but they're not perfect."

"Doesn't matter. Nothing could stop me from loving you."

"And nothing could stop me either."

Casey POV

This was the Jake I had fallen in love with, the kind, sweet, caring man that would do anything for those he cared for. I of course loved when he let his Alpha side out but I also loved his gentle side. How he would cradle me in his arms like I was made from the most brittle glass that would break with even the softest of caresses; he allowed me to not be strong all the time, he allowed me to fall apart with the assurance that he would gather all the pieces and put them back together even stronger than before. It was a breath of fresh air with him by my side, where I was drowning before I met him, I was now on a strong island ready to defeat anything that came my way. With him by my side I could do or be anything that I put my mind to and he would support me every step of the way.

His kisses drugged me, making me melt into him and submit to him. Made me crave his touch and his taste; made me crave everything about him. I wanted him in every way that was possible, I was ready to give him something that I hadn't given anyone else, something that no one else would ever have. I would give him the most intimate thing that a woman could ever give anyone and I would expose myself to him completely. It was a terrifying thought but it was also comforting and electrifying and freeing. I was Jacob's and he was mine.

His lips moved slowly down my body kissing every portion of my skin that he could reach making goose bumps raise on my skin. He took his time but this time I wasn't in a haze of lust that just wanted him, I was able enjoy the slow journey that he was taking, savoring every kiss, nip, lick, and touch. Soft sighs and small hitches in my breathing were the only signs to Jake that I was feeling the immense amount of pleasure that I was.

He finally reached the cleft between my thighs and a mix of a sigh and a soft moan left me. He was still taking his time, languidly licking and sucking on my clit as he teased my folds with his fingers. I remained relaxed knowing that he would give me exactly what I needed but that didn't stop the jerks that my body would do when he hit just the right spot or sucked just hard enough.

Quicker that I expected, I began to crest; my back arched and my breath came in shallow pants. My hands gripped the pillow beneath my head and my toes curled. This was different than anything I had ever felt before. The pleasure wasn't just building in my lower body; it was building everywhere, like every nerve was coming alive. I climbed higher and higher before falling.

The feeling was extraordinary. It wasn't earth-shattering but it was mind-altering. It didn't feel like I was lost in the pleasure; lost in a tidal wave of emotions. It was like getting your first breath of air after being held below the waters; it was like releasing a breath after holding it for too long; like the cool water on a hot summer's day. It was relief in its most healing form.

I didn't even notice Jacob crawl up my body until I felt his lips on mine.

"I love you so much," he murmured.

"And I you."

Our lips danced together, at times barely toughing. We both were taking our time, enjoying what we had and what we were feeling. There was no need rush this, we were in our own world far from anything else.

"Are you ready?" Jake asked laying gentle kisses down my neck. I could feel him at my entrance ready to be one with me if I was and I more than was.

I nodded not even sure what words would be enough to communicate what I was feeling in this moment.

He kissed me again as he gently pushed forward. I broke the kiss though with a gasp but not from pain. There was no pain just a wonderful feeling of fullness, of finally becoming complete. He moved at the same slow pace which I could tell was difficult for him from the tenseness of his face and his rigid form. I could read from his mind that he was extremely worried that he was hurting me but he wasn't. I wasn't surprised that my hymen was already broken since that could break from horseback riding, or gymnastics, or any sort of strenuous exercise and my job was full of that.

He was fully sheathed within me and all I could do was let out a sigh. I felt full and complete, like the missing part of me had finally come into place.

"Are you ok?" Jake asked gazing down at me expectantly.

"Doesn't hurt in the least," I murmured leaning up to kiss him but before I could even reach his lips, I froze with a moan escaping my lips from the tiny amount of friction that was generated from my movement.

"What? What'd I do? Are you sure you're ok?" Jake asked looking panicked.

"Jake!" I partially yelled to get his attention. "I'm fine. You just moved in me and it felt really good."

"Oh," he said sounding relieved. "So, I should move then huh?"

I started to laugh which caused both of us to moan at the feeling. "Definitely move," I gasped.

And he did.

The feeling was incredible, I felt so much more sensitive than ever before. Even the smallest movement of Jacob's hips had me gasping beneath him. His movements were slow and even moving me closer to the edge once again. I could feel this time though, that when I did come, it would be earth shattering.

"Faith, look at me," Jake whispered.

I opened my eyes not even realizing that I had closed them and stared into Jake's eyes. I wouldn't need to be a mind reader to be able to see how much he truly loved me. It was all there in his eyes; his deep, fathomless eyes. He was an open book to me, never trying to hide what he was thinking or feeling, always letting me into his deepest thoughts and feelings. My heart swelled and I held back tears of joy at knowing that this man was mine for as long as I would have him and I wanted him for forever.

His thrusts started getting faster and harder making me climb to that cliff even faster. My back arched from all the sensations running through my body.

"Jake," I gasped.

"I know, honey, I know," he growled out.

His eyes were clenched tight obviously trying to hold out for me. His hand snaked down between us and started rubbing at my clit. Almost instantly I was at the cliff peering over the edge waiting for just one more thing to push me over the edge and almost as he himself were reading my mind, Jake have three hard thrusts to send me flying.

I couldn't move, I couldn't think. Nothing could even begin to describe what I was feeling. I wanted to cry from everything swirling within my body, the only thing that even registered in my mind was the roar that Jacob let out obviously finding his release as well. And just as I thought I couldn't take anymore, I felt Jacob's teeth pierce the skin of my shoulder sending me even higher as my body arched completely into him. I wasn't even sure if I was making any noise anymore, all I could concentrate on was the influx of pleasure coursing through my body and the weight of Jake pressing me down into the mattress.

Slowly I started floating down to earth regaining my other senses and my wits. I could feel Jake pressing gentle kisses to my shoulders and neck. Whenever he touched a certain spot just between my shoulder and neck, my body would spasm slightly like the aftershock of an earthquake.

"I meant to tell you that I was going to do that," Jake said against my skin. "I kinda forgot to though."

I chuckled softly. "I kind of enjoyed the surprise."

Jake pulled away from my neck and gave me a tired but blissful smile. "I love you."

"I love you, too. You know, there's no getting rid of me now," I teased.

He laughed rolling off of me, onto his back before pulling me into his side where almost instantly, I started dozing. "And you should know," he whispered pushing my hair over my shoulder, "that I wouldn't have it any other way."


It may be a bit of time before I upload the next installment but it will be happening! I want to get a couple of chapters written before I start uploading them.

Also, I really proud of myself for writing a chapter this long! Over 7,000 words! Maybe you guys aren't as excited as me but I definitely am!

Anyway...

Let me know what you think! Your reviews do help kick my butt into gear!
