Most glorious night!

Thou wert not sent for slumber!

AMOC: Chapter 22: Thoughts of You at Night...

JPOV:

"Yes. We made it." Bella moaned as she rolled around on the queen size bed.

"I was starting to think you didn't even want to be here." I chuckled as I put our suitcases in the closet. She barely spoke a word on our drive over.

"I was just dealing with my own guilt. I mean, I can't remember the last time, if ever, I left Charlotte with anyone while I spent some alone time." Bella confessed.

"Oh. I guess I could understand why you would feel that way."

"Really?" Bella stared at me with a disbelieving smile.

"Yes. I would think as a mother, you tend to forget what it feels like to be just a woman who has her own set of needs. I've noticed that you are comfortable with giving your love and attention but you struggle with receiving it. Trust me, it's time for you to relax and let go. You can't be superwoman all the time Bella."

"I know."

" I'm starving. Would you prefer we dine at the restaurant here or order up room service?" I offered.

"Room service." She yawned.

"Okay. While I do that how about you go take a hot bath."

Opening the bathroom door I showed Bella around our penthouse. Once she was settled into a hot bubble bath, I called in our order. Changing out of my own clothes, I put on a pair of black and white flannel pajama bottoms and started up a cozy fire when our food arrived. Tipping the bellman first, I put the silver tray on the coffee table and poured myself a full glass of champagne. Staring at the fire I realized this evening was similar to the one we spent on our honeymoon.

Hopefully we would enjoy the pleasures of other bodies just like before. I wasn't going to pressure or manipulate her this time however. If Bella felt any longing for us then I would wait for her to give me the signal. This weekend wasn't about me and my selfish needs. No, I wanted her to do whatever she desired but that didn't stop me from hoping for a little fun between the sheets.

I was starting my second glass when Bella entered the living room area of our suite. I noticed that she hadn't attempted to blow dry her hair. She looked like a drowned rat and I found it not only sexy but sweet.

Bella was a practical young woman who always seemed to bring out a side of me that I swore was dead and buried. Just a look from her made my heart flutter these days. Whenever we accidentally brush up against one another, I would literally feel desire course through my veins, a longing to bury myself deep within her velvety walls crept up over me She wasn't the most beautiful woman that I'd set eyes on before but there was something deeper about Bella that sent my hormones into overdrive. She was naturally beautiful inside and out.

"Did you save me any?" She asked as she cocked an eyebrow and gazed at my glass.

"Of course." I stood up and poured her a glass.

"What did you order? It smells delicious." Bella licked her lips sending my dick into hard mode instantaneously.

"I ordered crab legs. I hope that is okay?"

"Ummm...let's dig in. I'm starving." Bella plopped down on the seat next to me.

Taking the lid off I made her a plate first and then helped myself. The sounds that slipped out between her lips as she chewed her food made me smile. It was crystal clear that she enjoyed the meal I ordered.

"I can't remember a time when I heard you moan while you ate. " I teased, licking my finger tips.

"Haha. Sorry. I told you I was starving and these are gourmet crab legs. I have to get the recipe before we leave." She replied before sipping on her drink.

"I will twist the chef's arm if it comes down to it."

"I bet you would." Bella's laugh sounded like Angel's singing to my ears.

She pulled her robe together to prevent me from seeing if she wore clothes underneath it. I was tempted to push her back on the couch and throw the offensive robe away so that my eyes could soak up her body but I didn't.

"Thank you Jacob. The food is wonderful and so is this suite." She smiled happily at me.

"Your welcome Bella. I am here to serve your every need."

"Every need, uh?" She chewed on the corner of her lip as her eyes locked with mine.

"Every single one. Whatever it is you wish, I shall do my very best to make it come true this weekend." I found myself wanting to promise her an eternity of happiness but stopped just in time.

I didn't want to give her the wrong idea about us. Or was it wrong? Every day we were together I found myself learning more and more about her and I never found anything that I didn't like. She was a constant surprise to me. If there was ever an almost perfect woman it would have to be Bella.

I was already feeling protective of her and the thought of her being with anyone but myself drove me into a jealous rage. When was the last time that I honestly felt either emotion for any woman? Never. These feelings that I was experiencing were foreign to me and I couldn't really label them. All I knew for certain was that Bella had crawled under my skin and I didn't want to ever stop feeling this way about her.

"Well, how about we start with you taking me to bed."

I gulped as my cock twitched beneath my pajama pants.

"As you wish." I stood up and took her hands in mind as I gently tugged her up on her own two feet and then without hesitation I scooped her up in my arms. Slowly I walked over to the bed and placed her down.

"Will you lay with me?" She asked with a sheepish smile that I hope was a signal that she wanted me to do more than lie next to her.

"Yes." I walked around to my side and laid next to her.

Placing my hands behind my head I stared up at the ceiling and waited patiently for her to make the next move.

"Jacob. Would you...I mean...do you think..." Bella rolled over on her side and looked at me while she tried to find the words to ask.

"What?" I continued to remain as still as a moose but moved my head slightly to the side so I could get a better look at her face. It was difficult to read what was going on in that complicated head of hers.

"I know that I said I didn't want us to have sex but now that we are here and since we are sharing this bed, do you...can we have sex?" Her breathing was ragged as her hand reached out to touch my bare chest.

"Is it what you really want?"

I took her hand and pulled it up to my lips. Grazing my teeth over her soft flesh I looked up and saw the desire in her eyes that matched my own.

"Yes, please." She moaned.

"As you wish." I replied with a hoarse voice.

I crawled over her body, pushed her thighs aside with my knee and stared deeply into her eyes.

"I would do anything you asked of me." I vowed before my lips covered her delectable mouth.

To back up what I promised I gave her everything I had and more. Bella was not only satisfied she passed out in my arms before I could remove myself from her delicious body. Pulling the blanket over us both, I fell into a deep and sated sleep.

Slamming her up against the wall made me feel alive and all my senses were heightened as I saw the fear in her dark brown eyes. She was frightened of me and that would only make what was planned next even more exciting.

"Get on your knees bitch and suck me like I deserve." I demanded.

Watching them shiver in fear was only half of what helped me find my climax. The other half was of course from the act of pain that I couldn't wait to pound on their thin flesh. Women were all alike as far as I was concerned. They needed to be put in their place, which for most of them was lying down with their legs spread opened.

"Can't...breatheee..." she gagged as I shoved myself completely down her throat.

"Shut up and do it. Since you can't seemed to find me enough information on Mr. Black then you will repay me the money I gave you with what little you can offer. Let's start with your mouth and any other orifices on your body that I can stick my dick in. Now do what I say or I will march down to that police station and tell them how you broke into Jake and Bella's house." I warned her.

"Okay." Tears streamed out of her eyes as I forced myself deeper and pumped her mouth with such force I wondered if it was possible to rip a woman's mouth open doing this.

Once I felt less tense and was able to clear my mind, I cleaned myself up and left her lying in the bed with my cum all over her and anything else I could spray it on.

Learning about Jake and Bella's trip out of town put me in a seriously rotten mood. It wasn't like I was jealous necessarily that Jake was fucking her, but it did irk me when I learned that she was falling in love with her husband. In the beginning when I heard of their relationship I just laughed it off. I suspected it was all a ruse to get even with me somehow or Billy hoped it would help her case against me. However, I never imagined that the two of them might have actual feelings for one another. Splitting up a couple in love was a lot harder to do but it wasn't impossible.

Climbing into my car I made a quick call to an investigator I often used for business dealings and hoped like hell that he was able to find me a woman from Jake's past that could cause more damage than Lauren had failed to do.

Driving to my parents house I realized that soon we would all have our day in court and although I hated the thought of raising Charlotte, I did look forward to watching her mother's pain when I won and they lost.

BPOV:

I wasn't sure what time it was when I woke up but the urge to relieve my kidneys tore me away from a wonderful dream. Climbing out of the bed I tip toed into the restroom and did my business without waking up Jake. When I returned to the room I found myself smiling as I crawled back into the bed. Jake was lying with his arms above his head, his eyes were closed shut and the shallow breathing led me to believe he was still asleep so I took advantage of the light from the moon that spilled over him.

Watching him sleep wasn't something I got the chance to do often and I found myself wondering what it was exactly that drew me to him. Even while he slept calmly next to me I heard the voice in my head warning me that Jake was dangerous and to keep my guard up. There was moments like this that I found myself more frightened of Jake than Edward.

I know what you are thinking, how could that be possible? Jake never laid a hand on me or made any remote physical threats like my ex but Jake was doing something to me that Edward couldn't. I was feeling strong emotions for my husband and I knew it was risky to feel anything other than grateful. Sure, Jake was helping me in a difficult period of my life but we both knew he wouldn't stick around too long once the court settled the custody battle.

I couldn't blame him if he left. He was a young and extremely handsome man who had his own future ahead of him. If he left Forks years ago due to his dislike of the town, why would he want to remain here now? Yeah, I better prepare myself for the day he would tell not only me but Charlotte also, good-bye.

Tears filled my eyes as an image of how that day would look and feel popped into my head. Scooting closer to him I felt my smile fading and a frown replacing it. This man was more than I deserved and someday he would find a woman who would complete him and it hurt like hell to imagine any other woman enjoying his bed.

He wasn't perfect but he was definitely on his way to being as perfect as I could hope for.

"Are you awake?" He groaned with his eyes still closed.

I jerked slightly unprepared to hear him speak and my cheeks grew warm as I realized that he knew I was staring at him.

"A little." I whispered.

"Do you need something?" He asked softly.

I wasn't sure how to answer that. Of course I needed something. I was human after all and we all have needs. It would have been wonderful if we were close enough for me to confide how I really needed him to love me the way I was falling in love with him. Yeah, I would also explain how Charlotte was crazy about him and how I thought he would make a wonderful father someday but of course I didn't reply with my answered thoughts.

"No. I had to go pee." I answered instead.

"Oh." He rolled over onto his side and his eyes opened slowly as we stared at one another.

"Do you need something?" I asked curiously.

"I need to get some sleep. I'm exhausted and we still have a full day ahead of us." He replied as his lips curled up to make his usual sexy smile that made my heart flutter.

"Oh. Sure." I forced my eyes to close but my brain wasn't ready to close down and allow me to fall back to sleep.

"Night Bella." Jake leaned in and brushed his lips over mine.

"Night Jake." I whispered back.

A smile formed on my face as I felt his hand travel under the covers and it found my own hand. The feel of his warm hand intertwined with mine helped ease my earlier painful thoughts and soon sleep engulfed me again.
