Leah woke the next morning to a light pinch on her left nipple. "Bella," she whispered hoarsely.
Bella looked up from her fleshy pillow. "I was hoping you'd wake up soon."
"Baby, you fell asleep last night, you fell asleep before I got to…"
"Hmmm?"
Leah looked outside. The sun has just peered over the horizon. It must be about 5 am. "Before I got to taste you, baby." She flipped them over so Bella was on her back and Leah was hovering over her. "You falling asleep like that, it gave me time to think. So I've been thinking, you see, about some injustices we have in our little set up."
Leah started unbuttoning Bella's pajama top, kissing down her core after she undid every button. Then she put both hands on Bella's stomach and moved them up until each hand cupped one of Bella's breasts. She squeezed them together and groaned softly.
She kept squeezing and gently rubbing while she continued. "See, I sleep naked, I don't know if you noticed." Bella giggled. "But you sleep covered. So you can touch me anywhere, everywhere, any time."
"I can?" Leah nodded.
"But I can't touch you without feeling like I'm invading, you know?"
"I didn't mean for you to feel that way." Bella looked up at Leah's lips lustfully.
"I know, baby, that's why we're talking about it. We've got to talk through our problems, right?" Bella nodded.
Leah brought her hands down, over Bella's stomach to the waist of her pajama shorts. Leah started teasing them down. "May I?" She asked Bella. Bella lifted her butt and the next thing she knew, her shorts were at her feet. Leah pulled the shorts over one foot, then the other, flinging them toward Bella's desk.
Leah kneeled between Bella's knees, then lowered herself more, sitting on her butt, criss crossing her legs. That forced Bella's legs to open a little more. Bella bent her knees, not quite sure what to expect next from this chat.
"So I was thinking of how to solve this problem. I came up with two solutions. Now, you're smart so you might see more solutions that I didn't see. Please tell me if you have suggestions."
Leah spread open Bella's lower lips. "Beautiful," she whispered. Then she started touching every part, the hole and rim, lips, clit, taint. She was burning a map of it into her mind. Then her fingers focused in on the clit.
"My first idea to bring equality for all, is that I wear clothes to bed. Then we'd have equal access to each other's bodies. The main drawback to this plan is that I hate it."
Leah thought she should probably be making eye contact during this speech but her eyes were glued to Bella's clit.
"I hate it because, one, I hate wearing clothes to bed, two, I love waking up with your face in my boobs and finally, three, I really love option two."
Leah glanced up to Bella's face to see if she was still listening. She really couldn't tell. Her eyes were closed and she was biting her lip, biting it hard.
"Are you following, Bella?"
"Yeah. What's. Option. Two." She was having trouble forming sentences.
"Option two is so simple, but also similar." Leah was rubbing along the side of Bella's clit with firm pressure now. "It is also based on the idea that we wear the same thing, like sexy twins. But instead of me wearing night clothes like you, I want you to wear nothing like I do. Thoughts?"
Bella was breathing heavily. "Option two," she was moaning.
"You sure? You don't have any other suggestions we could try?" She slowed down on Bella's clit.
"God, Leah, no, please don't stop. Option two. Please don't stop!"
With that decided, Leah lifted Bella's butt into the air placing Bella's thighs on her goddess shoulders. She moved her nose to Bella's mound and smoothly replaced her fingers with her tongue. Leah could feel Bella's clit begin to twitch but Leah had only just begun.
She licked her from bottom to top, starting at the anus and ending at her hairy muff. She gently bit the top edge of her labia, licking the inner folds that were in her mouth. Then she edged down to the tip of her sensitive nub but didn't linger. She moved to one side and worshiped that spot for several minutes.
Bella was watching Leah's face, the top part at least. She was watching Leah devour her. Leah's eyes looked wild, darting back between Bella's face and her breasts. Bella could swear there was a golden tinge to her otherwise dark brown, almost black eyes. She was mesmerized by the gold, starting as a ring around the outside and pulsing closer to the iris.
That's how she didn't notice that Leah had changed her grip, freeing one hand to slide inside of her waiting pussy.
They didn't get out of bed until 11:00. Then they hustled to make a hearty brunch to fuel Leah's patrol.
o.~*~.o
Leah phased in for patrol and was immediately assaulted with an image of her cousin's breasts.
JACOB, YOU NEED TO CONTROL YOUR THOUGHTS!
SORRY. He replied sheepishly. Now he was just thinking about making out with her.
JESUS CHRIST, JACOB, I HAVE TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT SOME SHIT, BUT I HAVE TO BE ABLE TO TRUST YOU.
IT'S OKAY, SETH ALREADY TOLD ME.
HE DID?! Leah hadn't seen Seth since yesterday, so it was possible that he let it slip, but she was sure he would have warned her.
YEAH, I'M OKAY WITH YOU AND BELLA BEING FRIENDS, I JUST DON'T WANT TO KNOW ABOUT IT.
THAT'S NOT WHAT I WANT TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT! Leah countered.
OH, WELL, YOU KNOW YOU CAN TRUST ME.
YOUR OWN IMPRINT CAN'T EVEN TRUST YOU! DID YOU TELL HER THAT YOU SHOW US ALL YOUR NUDIE PICTURES OF HER?
Jacob winced. He thought Leah might be right, but she just didn't understand how powerful an imprint was. DON'T YOU DARE TELL HER! Jake barked.
Leah couldn't handle this right now. She ran. She lapped the whole border twice before she calmed down enough to talk to Jake fact that she was bombarded with memories of Jake pounding Jen the whole time may have made it take longer for her to calm down.
CAN YOU JUST, LIKE, THINK ABOUT, I DON'T KNOW, BROWNIES FOR TEN MINUTES SO I CAN TALK TO YOU. An image of Bella in his kitchen came to mind. She was leaning down pulling brownies from the oven, her sweet ass in the air. Jacob stood behind her, an erection in his shorts.
SHIT. SHIT. SHIT. GIVE ME SOMETHING ELSE TO THINK ABOUT, LEAH! Jake begged.
BILLY'S WHEELCHAIR. Leah suggested.
OK, THANKS, NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT? Jacob was picturing Billy going up the ramp to his house. There was a bump in the ramp that he really needed to fix. He was making a mental list of what materials he would need to level it.
OK BLACK, I'M TELLING YOU THIS FIRST AS A COURTESY. I'M NOT READY FOR THIS TO BE IN THE PACK MIND. UNDERSTAND?
YEAH, IF IT'S IMPORTANT TO YOU, I CAN KEEP IT TO MYSELF. SPIT IT OUT.
OK, WATCH. Leah replayed her memory of entering the diner just two days prior. She stopped the memory when Bella came out of the diner to see what was going on.
OH FUCK, LEAH. THAT'S A MESS. THAT WAS SO FORCEFUL. DOES SHE KNOW THAT YOU IMPRINTED? DOES ANYONE ELSE KNOW? MAYBE OLD QUIL KNOWS SOMETHING ABOUT BREAKING IMPRINTS THAT-
WE'RE NOT BREAKING THE IMPRINT! Leah bellowed. YES SHE KNOWS, SO DOES SETH, MY MOM, SAM AND EMILY AND JARED AND KIM. AND NOW YOU. I DON'T WANT IT TO GET INTO THE PACK MIND YET BECAUSE I DON'T WANT PEOPLE THINKING DIRTY THOUGHTS ABOUT HER, ABOUT US.
HA! GOOD LUCK WITH THAT! THAT FANTASY HAS BEEN SWIMMING AROUND QUIL'S MIND FOR MONTHS.
Leah growled.
BUT IT'S JUST A FRIEND IMPRINT, RIGHT? OR IS IT MORE OF A SIBLING IMPRINT?
Leah was quiet. She was trying so hard not to think about the erotic images that were bubbling in her brain from that morning.
NO, IT'S ROMANTIC.
NO IT'S NOT. BELLA'S NOT GAY. YOU MUST BE MISUNDERSTANDING HER KINDNESS FOR FLIRTING OR SOMETHING.
MISUNDERSTANDING HER KINDNESS? MISUNDERSTAND THIS! Then Leah flashed him a quick memory of Bella languidly licking Leah's nipple, gazing up at her with adoration. In the memory, Bella's dainty hand is plunged between Leah's legs, pleasuring her. Leah chose this image because it showed her body, not Bella's, but it still clarified the nature of their relationship. It showed that Bella wanted Leah that way, too.
Then she suppressed the image again. I'M REALLY ENJOYING HER KINDNESS, JACOB, BUT THERE IS NO MISUNDERSTANDING.
WHAT THE FUCK, LEAH! THAT'S MY GIRLFRIEND!
SHE. IS. MINE. Leah did not share.
OKAY, OKAY.
Then he was silent for a while. Leah didn't know what he was thinking because he was actually keeping his thoughts to himself.
WHAT DID SAM SAY? He finally piped up.
Leah flashed him an image of Sam hugging Bella, welcoming her to the pack. Then she played him the entire memory of the meeting at Sam's house. She figured it was probably best for Jacob to have the whole story.
Leah could feel Jacob's rage growing.
WOW. THIS IS KIND OF A LOT TO PROCESS, LEAH. I'M TRYING TO KEEP MY COOL ABOUT ALL THIS. BUT SHIT, LEAH, I LOVE HER. HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME?
Leah showed him every single image and memory that Jacob had shared about Jen over the last few weeks.
YOU DO NOT LOVE BELLA. YOU LOVE JEN, REMEMBER? YOU DUMPED BELLA, TREATED HER LIKE TRASH. YOU TREATED HER WORSE THAN CULLEN DID.
Leah phased to human and ran naked through the woods for a few minutes. She needed to calm the hell down.
When she phased back, Jacob was still present but silent for once. She could feel his rage and confusion but no direct thoughts. Maybe he could control his thoughts. Maybe he could keep this a secret at least.
o.~*~.o
Bella decided to work five hour shifts during each of Leah's patrol shifts. The work at the station was simple enough. She needed to concentrate to do it right, but none of it was challenging or outside of her capabilities. She was making a good headway on the backlog created by unstable employees before her.
After her shift, she called Kim. She wanted to see if she had some time to hang out. Kim agreed to come and meet her at the diner. She waited for Kim in the same booth where she waited for Leah.
As soon as Kim sat down, Bella apologized.
"I'm sorry I didn't reach out to you, Kim. I didn't think you wanted me to, which feels so silly now. But at the time, I just felt… replaced. I didn't even consider how you were feeling. I'm sorry."
Kim responded, "I'm so sorry too. I was considering what you were feeling and I just thought you were mad at me for introducing them. I didn't know what to do. This is all just a big misunderstanding. If either one of us had texted, it wouldn't have happened. Can we just pretend all that didn't happen and go back to how things were?"
"It would be my pleasure." Bella agreed. "So what's new with you?"
"Can I get your order?" the waitress interrupted.
"Yeah, I'll have the garden salad with the house dressing and a small strawberry milkshake." Bella knew what she wanted.
"And I'll have the Caesar salad and black tea." Kim added.
"Ok, I'll be right out with those."
Bella got back on track. "So what's new with you?" she repeated.
"Honestly everything that is important or interesting in my life revolves around you. Important: I got my best friend back. Interesting: my best friend's ex-boyfriends new girlfriend is kind of an obnoxious bitch and a bit of a drama queen."
"Oh no! Tell me everything." Bella's eyes were twinkling.
"First, what is going on with you and Leah? I mean I know about the imprint, obviously, and the nature of your relationship. How did it happen? How is it going?"
"It's amazing. It's all out of order. My happiness is surreal."
"How's the sex?"
"Who said there was any sex?"
"You're glowing. How's the sex?"
"Oh, Kim, I never knew it could be this way."
"You little whore!" Kim smirked. "What's it been, two days? I made Jared wait two whole weeks before he got in my pants! I just love this for you, though. What's the saying? Happiness is the best revenge? Or something like that."
"I don't care about revenge. I just want peace." Bella bit her lip, nervously. "Leah and Jacob are patrolling together today."
"Caesar salad and tea." The waitress confidently put down the salad and tea in front of Bella. "And a garden salad and milkshake." She put those in front of Kim.
"Thank you!" Both girls smiled up at the waitress. When the waitress turned her back, they swapped orders, giggling.
Bella started digging in. She loved the house dressing at the diner. Kim just stared at her. "So does Jacob know about the imprint?"
"She's planning on telling him during patrol," she looked at the clock over the counter, "so yeah, he probably knows by now."
"Let me know how that goes. Do you want to hear about Jen?" Kim took her first bite of salad, eating around the chicken. She liked to save the chicken for the end.
"Of course."
"So, you know she's Leah's cousin, but what else do you know?"
"What! She's Leah's cousin!"
"You guys need to take a break from the bedroom and talk every once in a while."
"It's been two days. You expect me to know her life story already?"
"Haven't you two known each other your whole lives?"
"Touché. So assume I know nothing about Jen. Leah hasn't talked about her at all. I know nothing about Jen other than what I learned at the beach that day. What I learned then was that her name was Jen. I have since learned that she is Jake's imprint and that's why he dumped me. And just now I learned that she's Leah's cousin."
"Ok, so you know nothing." Kim had a lot to cover. "I had been hanging out at the beach with her before you guys came. She honestly seemed really chill. I introduced her to you guys because I thought you would be good friends with her."
Kim continued, "Backing up a little, she came to La Push to visit Leah. Leah was being all bitchy during her visit - sorry, but true - and she wasn't having a good time but she was trying to be patient with Leah because they used to be close. So I thought you would be a good friend for her to hang out with while she was here so she wasn't so bored, playing video games with Seth while waiting for Leah to get her head out of her ass. Again, sorry, but true."
"After Jake imprinted, both of them totally changed. They both became clingy and jealous, but not happy. Jen thought we were friends since we hung out at the beach that one day but I wasn't interested in the new Jen so she got really mad at me. Jared told her she wasn't allowed on his or my family's property or else he'd get the council involved."
"Let's see," Kim thought, "also Jared and Sam have had to do mediation between her and Jake. They fight constantly, violently even. Bella, it's crazy. I think something is wrong with their imprint. It's a fun drama to watch but it's real life and it's dangerous."
"The weirdest part," Kim added, "is that who they were before the imprint, I could see that being a healthy relationship. But they both changed so much and there is nothing healthy there. They just tear each other down and fuck away their anger."
"That's really sad." Bella said. "I was hoping, at least since I got with Leah, I was hoping that he was experiencing that same happiness."
"That's sweet of you, but I say fuck him." Kim asserted.
Bella giggled. "Let's leave that to Jen." Bella kept chomping her salad, thinking it all over. "So you said Jen came to visit Leah?
"Yeah, they used to be close."
"She's not staying with Leah anymore. Is she still here?"
"Yeah, that was crazy too. Jared said Leah went ballistic when she found out about the imprint. She made it clear that Jen was not welcome in their house. I don't know how, but she got Seth and Sue to agree. Jacob said she could stay with them. Billy was pissed. He still is pissed because Jake and Jen have broken a bunch of his shit during their fights. I don't know what's going to happen at the end of summer. She's Makah and has no standing here so I don't know how she'll get into the res school. She'll be a senior in the fall. But if she goes back to her own res, well, I think that could mess Jacob up even more."
Later, as they both walked out to their vehicles, Kim told Bella to hold up just minute. She had got her a gift and it was in her car.
She handed her a book with a vague title. "What's this about?" She opened the cover and read the subtitle. The art of lesbian love making. She turned so red. "Kim, you really shouldn't have!" She hugged her friend. "But thank you!"
