I tilt my head back so I can look up at him. “You can stare at me all you want. I just wanted to use you as a bed.”
He sure as heck is big enough. Not only that, I love the feeling of being pressed up against him. It soothes me. “I like being close to you.”
He wraps his arms around me, making me feel as though we are in our own little bubble. Letting me forget everything else in the outside world for a little while.
“I don’t think many others have ever shared the same sentiment.”
“Good. I don’t want others enjoying being next to you.” I laugh. He’s mine now, and everyone else can stay far away.
I sit up, naked and feeling so good in my skin.
“You’re soft everywhere.” His rough hands start to roam my body. I let out a long sigh, enjoying his hands on me. If I were a cat I bet I’d purr louder than Bernie, who’s made himself scarce. I bet Jacob and I scared him. His hand moves higher to my throat.
“Talk,” he orders.
“Oh, you wantmeto talk?” I laugh.
“I enjoy the sound of your voice.”
I lean down and kiss his chest.
“I enjoy yours, too.”
He keeps moving his hands. They’re now pressing firmer into me, massaging my muscles. I do have small aches everywhere now that I think about it. I didn’t know there was such a thing as a good ache before Jacob, but there is.
A memory surfaces. “I remember the first day I saw you. I didn't think you noticed me at all.”
“There is no fucking waynotto notice you. When you’re in a room, nothing else matters.”
My heart goes to mush, and I can’t stop looking at him. I bet he had no clue that he has this sweet side to himself. I’m not sure he even knows that what he just said is sweet. I love that he’s opening up more to me. This is something that’s just for me. I don’t care if it’s selfish. It’s my turn to be selfish with somebody’s attention for once.
“Jacob, I’m not sure if you’re aware of this, but you’re pretty noticeable yourself.” He is a force to be reckoned with. He doesn’t even have to look at you or utter a single word. You can feel him in the air all around you. His presence in a room could never be denied. It’s what drew me to him to begin with. “You were so stoic. Always so calm and focused. I wondered how someone could be so quiet and if you could teach me your ways.” I shake with laughter as I say it. “I wanted to talk to you so many times but knew that I would never be able to control my mouth. It always gets me into trouble.” I send him a wicked little smile as I recall what I did to him with my mouth last night.
“I rather enjoy when your mouth gets you into a little trouble.” He smiles, then reaches up and runs his thumb over my lips.
“Jacob Black. Did you just make a joke?” I smile so wide. I love that he’s coming out of his shell. I swear he lets out a small laugh that makes my heart fill with happiness.
“I’ll never teach you how to be quiet.”
The real him, the one he hides, is the one I love. Jacob. And now I can finally see him. I knew if I wanted him to start talking more I’d have to lead the way. It’s the first time in my life that being a chatterbox is useful.
“I do think I enjoy talking, but sometimes I wonder if I talk so much because I’m lonely. I can’t seem to make friends at work. The only one that’s really stuck with me is Selena. She can be quite a lot like you, too. I mean, look at my parents. I haven't heard from them in forever. Most of the time it’s me reaching out to them.”
I feel good admitting that insecurity out loud. The best part of it is that when I look down at Jacob, I still have his full attention. He’s listening to every single word I say. As if the next one is just as important as the one before it.
In a flash I’m under Jacob. He looms over me, anger etched in the lines on his forehead. “Fuck them and anyone that made you think you weren’t worth their time. You say no one in that office wanted to be your friend, but all I ever witnessed was you being kind to everyone. Even though you thought they didn't like you, still you gave them your respect. Not many could say the same.”
My eyes sting with tears. “For someone who doesn't care to talk much you sure do say the sweetest stuff to me.”
“I say the truth to you.”
I wrap my arms around his neck.
He growls into my ear. “Look at the effect you have on me. One touch from you and I’m done for. One look and I’m putty in your hands. One smile is all it took for me to know that I’d always want you. That my life was meaningless before you were in it.”
“I feel the same about you. You keep telling me you’re bad, but leaving you hasn't crossed my mind once. I wasn’t lying when I said it doesn’t matter to me how bad you are.” I don’t care what he’s done. His touches and caresses don’t lie. He may be bad, but he’s so damn good for me.
Jacob doesn't say or do anything he really doesn't want to. Hell, he might even pretend to take orders. He might even believe he’s taking them. You’ll never convince me Jacob isn't doing something because he chooses to for some reason or another.
