Chapter Three

I couldn't shake the feeling I had. I didn't know if it was because it was my first time going out since I've been home or because the last time I was in Port Angeles I was with him. I shook my head free of those thoughts. I was going to have a good time with my friends tonight. It was the first time all of us had been together since freshman year of college.

I ran my hands over my dress. It was latex and hot pink. I figured out what a gym was in college and finally developed some curves. It also helped with my balance which is why I'm able to wear these ridiculous heels. I knew I was an attractive woman. Confidence was something else I developed over the years. I was no longer the awkward, insecure, dependent, mousy teenager everyone knew all those years ago. I was a strong, independent woman. I applied my lipstick and walked out of the bathroom of Angela's apartment.

"Bella get over here. We're taking shots." Angela said as she dragged me to her island.

"It better be Patron."

"You're such a tequila snob Bella." Katie snorted and I stuck my tongue out.

After Angela told us the Uber was on its way we all shut up and started drinking, dancing, and taking pictures. I made a lot of friends in college but nothing could compare to this group of girls. They were my best friends. At that moment I forgot about all of my worries and just enjoyed being here with them.

When our Uber showed up we all made our way downstairs. He greeted us and let us pick the music. We pulled up in front of the club and the line was wrapped around the block. Katie told us not to worry and just follow her. Katie was a beautiful girl. She had waist length blonde hair and the prettiest big blue eyes. As soon as we walked up to the bouncers they got a good look at us and let us in.

"Told you not to worry Bella Pop."

We made our way to the bar and ordered our drinks. Tonight will be fun.

Outside of the club…

"Was that Bella Swan?"

"In tight pink dress that looks painted on and the fuck me heels? Yes Embry. That was Bella and she's smoking."

"Shut up Quil. That's my sister." Seth complained.

"Sorry Seth but your sister is hot." Brady agreed with Quil.

"Is Jacob coming?" Collin asked.

"Yup," Embry popped the pee, "Paul, Sam, Jared, and Jake are parking then meeting us at the entrance."

"I wonder if Bella will dance with me?" Brady asked no one in particular with a dreamy look in his eyez.

"Unless you want your arms broken I wouldn't try it big dog." Seth patted his shoulder as responded.

Brady smirked, "I'll heal."

Just then the other guys walked up and the group walked in. All of the guys who knew the girl in there knew something was going to happen tonight. They hoped it didn't end up bad.

Bella POV

I was having the time of my life. Katie and Jessica were surprised I learned how to dance at OU. We were on the dance floor throughout the night. Turns out there was a new owner and he had the hots for Jess so we got a VIP section for free with bottle service and all of our drinks were on the house.

"This is my song let's go dance!" Katie screamed as No Hands came on.

We all made our way to the dance floor and started dancing like no one was watching. Someone bumped into me and I turned around to see who it was. He was so tall I had to look up at him, "Embry?"

"Hey Bella!"

I attacked him with a hug, "Oh my god! How are you?"

"I'm great Bella. You seem like you're doing good but you look even better." He winked at me.

Now he was probably expecting the old Bella Swan who would blush and get shy but he was in for a surprise. I put on a flirty smile, and did a little spin for him, "The gym does wonders doesn't it? I worked pretty damn hard for this ass."

His mouth dropped open and he tried his hardest not to stare at my ass. Finally collecting himself he spoke, "Trust me I can tell. Would you like to dance?"

"I thought you'd never ask." I smiled and dragged him to the dance floor. He was shocked when I took control and started dancing on him.

"I thought you didn't dance B?"

"Let's just say college awakened a new me."

"That's an understatement."

We danced for a couple of songs and caught up. It was nice talking to Embry and it also helped that he was attractive. Despite the flirting I knew Embry and I could never even attempt to be anything more than just friends so it was harmless.

"One more dance?" He asked with his lip poked out a little. For just a second I wondered how it would feel to kiss him. I caught him staring at my lips but I shook my head because obviously the alcohol was getting to me.

"Okay Em. One more dance just to help with your new obsession." I teased.

The song ended and I gave Embry a hug. He walked me back to my table and my friends instantly started drooling.

"It was good seeing you Bells. Call me sometime so we can catch up." He kissed my cheek.

"You too Em. I'm at Sue and Charlie's come by anytime babe." I hugged him and sat down.

As he walked away I was bombarded with questions.

"Who the hell was that?" Katie demanded.

"That was Embry Call. We were friends in high school. He's Jacob Black's best friend." I explained.

"That boy is fine. Do you care if I go talk to him?"

"No, not at all. Have at it."

"Awesome! Time to go work my magic." Katie winked and flipped her dramatically. As if she would have to work that hard. The rest of us did another round of shots and continued dancing. Some girls gathered with us and we turned into one big group.

I was mid conversation when big hands covered my eyes and I smiled. There's only one person who would greet me like this.

"Guess who?" The deep voice asked.

"Quilly!" I yelled jumping into his arms, my legs wrapping around his waist.

"Hot damn Bella! You're sexy as hell. Fuck woman are you trying to give every man in this club a boner!" I laughed and he put me down.

"So what if I am? A girl has needs." I tease, shocking another member of the pack.

"Who are you and what did you do with our sweet, innocent, little Bella Swan?" He questioned.

"I gave her some confidence and a backbone." I answered. He smiled and dragged me to dance for a few songs before returning me to my friends with a hug and a kiss on my cheek.

"Bella, I swear you always have the sexiest men following you around." Jessica sighed. Staring after Quil.

"Do you think Jacob is here?" Angela joined in the conversation. I would be lying if I said I hadn't wondered if the whole pack was here. I'm sure they are, but Jacob was the last pack member on my mind.

"I'm sure he is. If Quil and Embry are here then he's not too far behind." I answered.

Angela and the girls knew how Jacob had behaved after I broke up with Edward and during our relationship. He was convinced he was in love with me, but I didn't feel the same way and that damaged our friendship to the point where we weren't even speaking before I left. To this day I still haven't said a word to him.

"Hopefully he's over it by now. I mean you guys were kids. It would be ridiculous to still be upset." Jessica ranted.

"I'm sure he is. It's been so long." Angela agreed and I nodded. Unfortunately Jacob wouldn't be over it. I've known him since I was two and he's the most stubborn person I know.

After that, I decided I needed another drink. I made my way through the crowd and pushy men. Finally I got to the bar and waited to get my drink. A guy came up to me and I wasn't the slightest bit interested but he wasn't taking the hint. When I got my drink I tried to leave but he grabbed my arm, "Let me go."

"Oh come on sweetheart. You were just flirting with me." He got so close to my face that I could smell the cigarettes and alcohol on his breath. Palming my ass he leaned in to kiss me.

"I fucking told you to let me go." Before I could do anything else I was jerked out of his grip and he was being thrown against the bar.

"Seth?"

"Are you okay Bells? Did that fucking prick hurt you?" He screamed.

"No, I'm fine." I told him as the bouncers walked up.

"What's going on here?"

The bartender explained what happened and they escorted Prince Pervert out of the club. I looked to see who had thrown the guy against the bar and I swore my heart stopped. I wasn't ready. It wasn't supposed to happen this soon. I'm not ready to see him. He still looked as gorgeous as he did four years ago. I trailed my eyes up his body and finally reached his eyes. It was like seeing him for the first time. I knew I still loved him but seeing him again made it all real. I needed him like I needed air to breathe. He was my reason.

"Holy shit." Ripped me out of my staring contest. The whole pack was surrounding us by now.

"What just happened?" I asked.

No response. Everyone's mouths were just hanging open. I turned to him, "What just happened?"

He swallowed thickly, there was so much emotion in his eyes it almost made my knees buckle. He opened his mouth and closed it again. He took a step closer and gripped the top of my arms. He looked down into my eyes and changed my world with six words, "I just imprinted on you Bella."

I stopped breathing and the world started spinning. Imprint. The word I hated more than anything. The reason I couldn't be with the man I loved all those years ago. There was no way that just happened. I mean it was impossible, I think. The alcohol was getting to me and my stomach started turning.

"That's impossible. You've seen me before. Is this some kind of sick joke?" I yelled before I walked off. I realized he followed me out when I was down the block.

"Bella! Stop!" I ignored him and kept walking..

"Fuck off." I shouted without turning around.

"Come on, Bella, you can't walk around by yourself in the city at night. Talk to me please." He begged.

"Leave me alone. I don't have time for your games." I shouted. Everything in me wanted to turn around and listen to him but I was far from sober and I was pissed off.

"God damn it Bella! Stop!" He roared pulling me into his chest and pushing me against the concrete building, "You're still so fucking stubborn."

"What the hell do you want from me?" I fumed.

"I want you to talk to me. I haven't seen you since you left four years ago. We finally got what we wanted to happen before you left and now you run away."

"Because you're lying," My bottom lip was wobbling and I felt the tears forming, "You've looked into my eyes so many times."

"Bella, you know I wouldn't lie to you. Especially about this." He cupped my cheek. I leaned into his hand and tears started falling, "Baby please don't cry."

I started sobbing and he held me tight. Being in his arms felt like home. I realized this was the safest I've felt in four years. He was still gorgeous. Strong jawline, full lips, eyes that screamed 'fuck me'.

"I'm sorry for running.I was just shocked. I mean it's kinda unbelievable." His body was pressed against mine and it was distracting. I was drunk and the imprint made me want to jump him.

"We obviously need to talk but I don't think you're in the right mind for the conversation."

"I agree." I was staring at his lips the whole time I spoke.

"Bella no." He said as I started to kiss his neck. His breath caught in his throat and he hissed, "Bella stop right now or I'm not going to be able to."

I made my way up his neck to his jaw and kissed his lips. We both gasped when our lips touched. We always had that spark but that was electric. He devoured my lips. Kissing me like there was nothing else he would rather be doing. I knew we should probably talk first but there was no way in hell I was going to stop this.

"Fuck me." I demanded.

"Not here." He rasped.

He ran all the way to Angela's apartment after I told him where it was. As soon as we were through the door he started undressing me.

"This dress has been taunting me. You look so fucking hot." His lips were all over me and I was making sounds I didn't even know a human could make, "I want to taste you baby."

He sat me on the counter and licked me from my clit to my ass. I cried out in pleasure as he sucked my clit into his mouth.

"You taste better than I remember."

He made me cum so hard my eyes rolled into the back of my head. We somehow ended up in Angela's guest room and he was inside me as soon as we hit the bed.

"Stop!" I yelled.

"What? Are you okay? Did I hurt you?" He got a panicked look.

"There's only ever been you." I whispered embarrassed.

"Oh baby," his eyes rolled back and he kissed me. I finally gave him permission to move. He started slow and then picked up his pace.

I'm sure the neighbors could hear my moans and cries but I couldn't bring myself to care. He flipped me over to my hands and knees and it was a whole new feeling. He moved his hand to my clit and started rubbing it.

"I need you to come for me baby." As soon as he told me to cum, my walls clenched. He roared and I felt his teeth pierce my neck. He licked the wound and held me close.

"You're mine forever now babe."

"Only yours, Paul."
