Chapter 14

Jo had hardly made it out the truck when she found herself pinned against it once again. She gasped as she felt Paul cup her butt cheeks and pull her up. She complied and wrapped her legs around him. He quickly led them into the house and managed to lock the door while holding her. Just as they were moving upstairs without breaking their kissing they heard something shatter.

"Ahhhhh...my eyes! My eyes! My poor eyes!" Rosie cried as she covered her eyes.

"Nana! What are doing awake?" Jo asked as Paul unwillingly set her down. OK. So sometimes it wasn't fun to have someone elderly around, he concluded.

"I was getting a midnight snack! Turns out you can get a lot more when staying with youngsters!" She said

Paul chuckled while Jo sighed tiredly.

"Go to sleep. It's late. And is that ice cream and chips?" Jo asked looking at her disapprovingly.

"Why yes it is! And you won't take it away from me!" Rosie said as she clutched the snacks to herself.

"I thought you said your doctor advised you against eating all this especially after dinner?"

"Yes but then they never said anything about having it for dinner!" Rosie argued

"Argh..fine just please don't get sick. Goodnight!" Jo said as she moved upstairs.

"Goodnight Rosie" Paul said as he gave her a peck on the cheek and followed Jo.

"I'm sure it'll be better for you!" Rosie called after them.

Way to ruin the mood.

But Paul wasn't having that. When Jo moved to go into her room, Paul pulled her to him.

"Where do you think you're going?"

"Hmm..to sleep." Jo answered innocently even though she was fully aware of his not so little problem since it was nudging her.

"I don't think so!" Paul said as he grabbed her and carried her into his room. Jo gave in easily.

Their love making wasn't hurried though. The touches were gentle, exploring. Their movements slow. Their kisses light, savoring the taste of each othe's lips, skin; their hands exploring the lines and curves of their bodies. The height, the pleasure of their orgasms bringing them closer in spirit and body. The two lovers slept curled into each other.

The next morning was rushed. They both had things to do and work to attend to. But it was the night of the bonfire and they agreed to be home by 5pm to make it to the bonfire together.

Rosie was extremely excited. She had read the legends but had never been to any of these bonfires. She had always been curious as to why she had never been invited but then she had noticed that very few people were and she thought it was more of a family thing than a tribe get together. Now, she felt that she was somehow a part of it as well. Of course, she had the suspicion that her granddaughter was the reason for it.

The day was spent working and planning for the week ahead. Paul too had to go attend to his business and then patrol. He was excited for Josie to hear the legends. He wanted to see how she would react to them. He only hoped she would accept him truly with all his thick silver fury.

When Paul made it home in the evening, he was disappointed to find that Rosie and Jo had already left. He saw a note saying that Seth and Kim had taken the two of them with them. He sighed. He had two people he'd need to fight off for Jo's time. He freshened up quickly before leaving for the bonfire.

Paul reached to find the bonfire in full swing. He had no trouble locating Jo who had been squished between Kim and Seth. He grinned when he saw Jo lock eyes with him. He was walking with his eyes only on her and that's why he was confused when he saw Jo frown. He smelled a strong not very pleasant perfume especially to his sensitive senses before he saw the person wearing it, who had now blocked his way and before he could stop or even comprehend what was happening, he was pulled in to a kiss.

Paul pushed Rachel, Billy's daughter away. Sure they had gotten together a couple of times whenever she had visited La Push but they sure as hell weren't exclusive or particularly open about their relationship. Paul felt a strange pang in his chest and he gasped before he understood what had happened. Jo had seen them and she was hurt. Paul cursed beneath his breath and moved away from Rachel who seemed to be talking to him, confused by his behavior. But Billy had called her to him and they were talking quietly now. Obviously the chief was trying to distract her and inform her of Paul's committed status.

Paul looked towards Jo again but was met with a glare from Kim while Jo was talking to Seth. He too looked towards Paul and raised his brows but returned to keeping Jo entertained. Paul knew she wasn't following the conversation completely because of the pain he could feel. He had to talk to her. But before he could reach her, Claire, Quil's imprint, pulled her to her feet and towards the water.

Jo was on the verge of tears. This was exactly what she was afraid of and it was happening. She chided herself on being so stupid. Of course he'd have another girl in his life. She had been introduced to Rachel who was at least 30. Paul would find her attractive. She was older to Jo by 8 years so she was definitely more experienced. She was attractive as well. She was wearing a short skirt with a tight figure hugging jacket. She looked hot. Jo on the other hand was casually dressed in jeans and warm thick sweater. She knew she looked decent but not sexy. She was glad when Seth had tried to distract her and got talking about random things. She would probably need to move out of his house now. It would be extremely awkward if Rachel ever decided to visit him.

Jo was playing with Claire in the sand when she felt rather than hear him come behind her.

"Hey Uncle Paul!" Claire called out happily.

"Hi Claire-bear! How have you been? You know Quil's looking for you. I think he has some marshmallows for you." Paul said in an attempt to get Claire away from Jo so he could talk to her.

Claire squealed and rushed off to find Quil, who was looking around for marshmallows, the moment Paul mentioned it to Claire.

Paul sighed glumly when he saw Jo get up to leave. Her posture was extremely stiff and uninviting.

"Josie, before you make any assumptions please hear the truth from me." Paul pleaded.

Jo knew it would be unfair to judge him and she did see him looking only at her and then Rachel had kissed him.

She nodded but didn't turn to face him.

"Rachel and I..we've..gotten together whenever she was in town which was never long. She's come back after a year or two, I really don't remember. We were never a couple or in a relationship or anything. I didn't even know she'd be here tonight! And she kissed me! I pushed her away...please tell me you saw that..."Paul was only a step away from getting down on his knees.

Jo simply nodded but didn't say anything. She started moving back towards the bonfire. Paul noticed her shoulders were now slumped as if in defeat. She was still not talking to him but she didn't seem angry.

"Hey, come on! Let's get the food before these hooligans finish it all!" Kim joked as she grabbed Jo's arm and pulled her towards the food while giving Paul the stink eye. Paul looked up to see Jared shaking his head at him. He sighed. You upset the imprint, you upset the wolf.

Paul had to figure out how to make Jo understand that she was the only girl he'd ever want to be with.

AN: Poor Paul! Let me know what you think of Rachel kissing Paul and will Jo get over it or will she move out?
