Chapter 03:
BPOV
“So last night was kind of weird huh?” I asked Matt. Now that I was away from the Quileutes my head felt much clearer. I don’t know what that was last night.
“Yeah. Definitely strange. Must have been the atmosphere. Dark, sitting around a bonfire. That sort of thing. Yeah that must be it. Sue’s daughter, Leah was acting really strange. Did you see how she kept staring at us all night?”
She did? Honestly I am ashamed to say I didn’t notice anything apart from Paul.
“You kids have fun last night?” Charlie asked walking into the kitchen.
“Yeah, great time. Bella and I are going swimming with that group of people we met last night.” Matt responded.
“Great. Glad to see you two are making friends here. Jacob Black is a good kid. And Sam is too. I don’t know the others well.”
“What’s the deal with Paul, Dad?”
“Paul LaHote?”
“Yeah I think that’s his last name.”
“He’s the man whore of LaPush. Been with damn near every pretty girl there. A few ugly ones too. Loves them and leaves them. Hot tempered, been in the back of my car many times for fighting and disorderly conduct. Sam has sort of taken him under his wing and is trying to make a better man out of him. But… he’s still trouble. Is he going to be there?”
“I don’t know.” I admitted. I hated that a part of me wished he was going to be there. What the hell was going on?
“Well if he is stick close to Matt. That guy has a temper. I don’t trust him. You kids have fun. I have to get to work. Hey Matt, maybe we can throw the ball around some this afternoon after work?”
“Sure thing Charlie.” Matt told him, making Charlie’s day.
“So what is with the sudden interest in Paul LaHote?”
“What do you mean?” Dammit.
“Just wondering what it was about him that made you ask Charlie about him.” Uh…
“Well baby he was kind of acting crazy last night.” I reasoned.
“Yeah I suppose so.”
“And he wasn’t the only one. You mentioned that Leah was staring at you.” Yes! Take that logic!
“Us. I said she was staring at us.”
“Same difference.”
“Are you sure you want to go to the beach with them? Maybe we should, I don’t know, stay away?”
Matt POV
Please say you want to go. I don’t know why but the idea of not going bothered me. It bothered me greatly. It shouldn’t but it did.
“Of course I want to go. Sam and the others were nice.” Bella said to my relief. Why was I relieved? This was ridiculous. I love Bella. She loves me. No one has ever come close to how I feel about her.
“What about that Jacob Black kid? I think he has a little crush on you. And have you noticed those guys are the size of gorillas on steroids?”
“Yeah the last time I saw Jake he probably weighed 120 pounds.”
Strange. “Really? How long ago was that?”
“About three years ago.”
“I guess he hit a growth spurt”. Or the needle. “Hey guess what I just realized?”
“What’s that lover?”
“Charlie is gone.”
“Yep he is.”
“So…”
“So you want to take me upstairs and ravish me, right?” She knows me so well.
“Unless you can think of something better to do.” I told her giving her my best sad face.
“We do have an hour before we told them we would meet them.” She whispered into my ear. I picked her up and carried her upstairs. An hour my ass. The Quileutes could wait.
Sam POV
Bella and Matt were 30 minutes late. I was beginning to believe they weren’t going to come. That would probably be best. Paul and Leah were pacing the beach. Seth said Leah didn’t get much sleep last night. At some point she went to the Swan house and stood on the porch for a while. I understand that Paul was in the trees watching Bella’s window.
I heard a car off in the distance parking. Ten minutes later Bella and Matt had arrived. Oh crap. They smelled like sex. Maybe Leah and Paul… Nope they are sniffing the air right now. Paul is walking up to Matt. They are the same height. Paul has slightly more muscle though than Matt and can turn into a giant wolf. This was bad.
“We were beginning to think you two weren’t going to show.”
“Sorry. Charlie left to go to work and we kinda got occupied.” Matt said staring back into Pauls’ eyes and smiling. Please don’t do anything stupid Paul. I knew neither he nor Leah could hurt them because they were both imprints. But still. I didn’t want to test that theory.
“No worries. Just thought you weren’t gonna show. So Johnny Football, you want to show us Rez boys how the big boys play ball?”
“I’m sure Matt is tired of football Paul. Right Matt?”
“I’ll be on your team Matt.”
We all turned to see Leah walking up. Leah had taken her shirt and shorts off. Leah was wearing… oh spirits, the tiniest damn black bikini I had ever seen in my life. I think I just heard Matt whimper.
“Forget the rest of your clothes Leah?” Bella asked.
“What’s wrong, Bella? Bikini’s intimidate you?”
Bella was pissed. Leah was challenging her.
“You know football would be a great idea. Why don’t we break up into teams?” I suggested.
“You pick first football star.” Paul told Matt, shoving the ball to Matt’s chest .
“Nope. Your beach your rules. Go ahead LaHote.” Matt responded shoving the ball back into Paul’s arms.
“No problem. I pick Swan.”
“Uh Paul, I don’t really play sports. At all.” Bella had a look of panic on her face.
“Don’t sweat it Swan. Why don’t you go sit on the sidelines over there and watch.” Leah told her smiling. Dammit.
“You know what? Fuck it Leah. I’ll play.”
“Baby you sure?” Matt asked her with skepticism.
“Sure thing baby. I spend most of the time as your receiver. May as will be a receiver out here.” Bella said, glaring at Leah. She then pulled off her top and shorts to reveal, oh my spirits, a blue bikini that had about the same amount of material that Leah’s did.
“And you’re talking about my bikini?” Leah asked, raising an eyebrow.
“Okay. I guess it’s time to pick my player. Uh Leah why don’t you come over here. That way you and Bella can be seperat… cover each o… uh yeah.”
“I would love to be on your team Matt.” Leah said with a pointed glance Bella’s way.
“I got Jake.” Paul responded.
“Sam.”
“Jarrod.”
“The guy who can’t stop smiling.”
“Quil.”
“Yeah Quil.”
“Embry.”
“The kid. What’s your name kid?”
“Seth.”
“Yeah I got Seth.”
“Collin.”
“The other kid. Sorry, Brady isn’t it? Sucks to be picked last but it has to be somebody.”
“Hey cool no problem. Football is not really my thing.”
Paul POV
Damn Bella looked good in that bikini. So much pale flesh. She looked so soft. Dammit LaHote, get your head in the game. We need to kick this guys ass.
“The rules?” he asked.
“Tackle. No first downs. Four plays to go. Water is out of bounds, end of the sand is out of bounds up to the driftwood is out of bounds.”
“We will kick off.”
“Oh No Matt. You get the ball. I insist.” This asshole was in for a world of hurt. I wonder if Bella would like him as much if his nose was caved into his skull.
“Paul.” Sam warned.
“I know Sam. Just a friendly game of football.”
“Stay off my Mate, Paul.”
“Stay off mine Leah.”
BPOV
I can’t believe that skank. She is practically throwing herself at my boyfriend! Fucking bitch. I’m not much of a cusser but I will cuss her out. Thinks I can’t play football. Oh shit! I can’t play football. Paul walked up to me. Damn he looked good. Stop it Bella!
“Listen Swan. You are going to cover Brady over there. You go where he goes. Understand? “
“Yes, I go where he goes.”
“Good. Try not to let Leah knock your head off. I like it where its at. I like everything else where its at too.” He winked at me. Did he just flirt with me? I think he just flirted with me! In front of my boyfriend. What the hell is wrong with these people? Dad did say he was the man whore of La Push. Matt took the ball from Sam and I followed Brady. He ran past me and I tripped over me feet getting to him. He was nice enough to stop and help me up. I stood up and saw Matt launch a ball at least 60 yards down the beach that fell just over Jakes outstretched fingers into Sam’s arms. Everybody started jumping up and down so I guess that was good. I started jumping too and ran to kiss my man. I turned around and saw Clearwater thought it would be a good idea to congratulate him too. And she was jumping. She was jumping with her arms around Matt. And she was about to jump out of her bikini. Matt was laughing until he saw my glare and stopped. He gave her a high five and walked away. I walked up to him.
“Nice pass.”
“Thanks baby.”
“The throw was pretty good too.” I told him glaring.
“C’mon Bella. She just got excited. She didn’t mean anything by it.”
“Are you defending her? She was rubbing her tits all over you and practically dry humping you!”
“Swan, c’mon. It’s our turn.” I heard Paul say. Two could play at this game. “Yeah, show me your moves Paul.”
“Baby I haven’t begun to show you my moves yet.” Okay. I’ll admit his voice got to me a little. Matt was scowling.
Matt POV
What the hell is wrong with these two? First Leah is all but dry humping me on the beach in next to nothing, getting Bella mad at ME and now Paul is talking to her about showing her his “moves”.
We had to get away from these people. This was the last social outing we were coming to.
“Nice pass Matt.”
“Good catch Sam.”
“I tell you what, why don’t you cover Bella? You know to make sure none of these guys gets too rough with her?”
“Yeah and we wouldn’t want you getting hurt either football star. What would the University of Washington think if there star quarterback got taken out by some natives?” Paul joined in.
“You cover Bella, Sam. I trust you. That asshole is mine.”
Sam POV
“Sam you can’t let him cover Paul. Paul will hurt him!” Leah whispered to me.
I shrugged my shoulders. What the hell could I do?
Jarrod was the quarterback and threw the ball to Embry, who dodged Jacob and began heading for the touchdown marker. The only one with a shot at catching him was Matt. Damn Matt was fast. But not as fast as Paul. As Matt was about to overtake Embry, Paul collided with him from the side. Matt was thrown about ten feet into the sand. Bella and Leah both ran too him.
“Baby?”
Quil ran up. “Holy shit Paul. Did you kill him?”
Matt was moaning. He opened his eyes to see Bella and Leah’s breasts hanging over his face. Not a bad way to wake up.
“You okay?” I asked him. I really didn’t want ESPN coming down to interview the Tribe that took out the Huskies QB.
“Uh I think so.”
“Ladies why don’t you give Matt some air?”
“Baby let me help you up.” Bella said.
“What’s wrong Swan? Your man can’t take a little hit?” Paul asked her laughing.
“You blindsided him you asshole! What the hell is wrong with you people! Sam you’re a nice guy and we appreciate the invite but I am taking Matt home. You guys have a nice rest of the afternoon. And forgive us if we stay away from anymore of your outings. Paul you can go fuck yourself and Leah for the love of God put your tits up already!”
Bella stormed off dragging Matt behind her. I heard him mumbling something about the asshole must have Samoan blood in him and then they were gone.
I turned to look at the Pack. Specifically Leah and Paul.
“Well that went nicely. Get your shots in you two? Have your fun? Because your imprints just went off with each other and pretty much said they won’t be around us anymore! You know what? I give up. I’m tired of this shit. They are your imprints, they are your problem. I’m out of this.”
“Sam…”
“No Leah. You deal with it.”
Leah POV
Dammit. I saw the way he was looking at me. I know he wanted me. Why the hell did Paul have to knock him out. I went home. There was actually no reason for me to be here. I only came because he was going to be here. Fucking Bella Swan. She knew when I hugged him and felt his skin on mine that he was mine. Possessive little bitch can’t take a little rivalry. Oh who am I kidding? I acted like a slut. I can’t do that. He could have had his pick of women at UW and he chose Bella Swan. Obviously he wants someone who acts like her. But I can’t do that. I can only be me. And I am nowhere close to being her. She is a sweet, pretty college girl who everybody loves to be around. I am a bitter woman who is stuck to this reservation for life. Why the hell would he choose me even if she wasn’t around? And Paul. What the hell is he thinking? She had Cullen and all his money and she has the star QB. For a bookworm she does well for herself. And she probably doesn’t even try. What the hell would she want with him? What would either of them want with either of us? This sucks. My whole life sucks.
But I was not going to quit. I was going to make him mine. Even if it meant doing something I really didn’t want to do. I picked up my house phone and dialed his house where I knew he would have stomped off to after seeing his “Mate” taking care of someone else.
“What Clearwater?”
“You want her. I want him. We have to work together. It’s the only way.”
“I’m listening.”
BPOV
Matt was resting peacefully in my bed. I had him holding a bag of ice on his head. Fucking LaHote. Why does he have to be such an asshole? I heard a door knock. I left Matt laying on my bed and told him I would be right back.
I opened the door wondering who the hell could be knocking that wouldn’t just normally come in.
And Paul fucking LaHote was standing there. I crossed my arms and glared at him.
“What the hell do you want?”
He raised his hands in surrender. “I come in peace. I just wanted to apologize to you.”
“You should apologize to him. That was a cheap shot!”
“I admit it was. Can I come in?” I sighed. I wanted to tell him no. But for some reason I couldn’t. He smirked at me and brushed past me. I shivered a little when he touched me. Dammit, Bella get your act together.
“He’s in bed right now. You can’t talk to him.”
“I don’t want to talk to him. I want to talk to you.”
“Wh… why do you want to talk to me?”
“I want to know you.” He was so close to me. I didn’t want to fee this way but God I was turned on. What the hell? Why does he do this to me? I could feel his breath inches away from my face. He smelt so sweet. He brushed my hair back with his finger letting it graze the side of my head. It was like his touch was electric. I closed my eyes.
“Please stop.”
“No.”
“Yes. Why are you here? Why are you doing this?”
“I think the question you really want to know is why you feel the way you do about it.”
“What are you doing?” He was stroking my cheek. God it felt good.
“You belong to me.” What?
“I belong to no one.”
“Keep telling yourself that. I’ve asked around about you Swan. I know how you were with Cullen. You were submissive to him. You like to belong to someone. You did everything he wanted right up until you dumped him. But it doesn’t change who you are. You want me to own your body and soul. You knew it from the moment our eyes met. All you have to do is admit it. And Bella I am the one guy you could give yourself to that won’t change who you are. Because you are perfect the way you are.”
It’s not true. I realize I am somewhat submissive. I learned enough in intro to psychology to know that I have a submissive personality. But I do not want to belong to this man. And my submissiveness has nothing to do with my sexuality, no matter what Paul thought. Right Bella? Right.
“I’ve been asking around about you too. Want to know what I have found out?”
“Whats that Swan?”
“That your a violent, drunk man whore who uses women and leaves them.” I whispered.
“Is that right? I bet you’ve been talking to daddy haven’t you?”
“Yes.”
“And you don’t like me now right?”
“I have a boyfriend.”
“Yeah? Do you get this wet just standing by him like you are for me right now?”
“Excuse me?” What the fuck? How did he know that? What was wrong with me?”
“Your so turned on I can smell it on you. I bet your panties are soaked. Your nipples are like rocks. I bet they are aching for me to take them between my teeth and gently bite down. Don’t believe me? Take a look. But you already know don’t you?” He grinned at me.
“You need to get the fuck out of here.” I told him with what breath I had left.
“You really want that Swan?”
“Yes…” He leaned down and smelt my neck. It was like he was breathing me in.
“Fine I will leave. For now. But you will be seeing me. We belong together. You are mine.” He walked out and I felt like collapsing.
Matt POV
My head felt like it had been kicked by a horse. Damn this ice felt good. Wonder when Bella is coming back? If I ever see those Quileute guys again it will be too soon. Still, Leah looked damn good today. I heard the window slide up. Wait the window? What the fuck? I rolled over and saw Leah climbing through the second goddamn floor window!
“Leah what are you doing? How did you get up here?”
She smiled at me and it made my dizzy head get a little dizzier.
“I climbed the tree. I figured Bella wouldn’t be too excited about seeing me.” She was in a pair of tiny cutoffs and that damn bikini top that got me in trouble today.
“Not excited? She will fucking kill you and me!” I whispered. I did not need this shit.
“I was worried about you.”
“Now I’m worried about us!”
“Don’t worry, Bella will be downstairs for a while. I will hear her if she comes up.”
“Leah this is not cool. Bella is my girlfriend.”
“Then why are you so excited to see me?”
“I’m not!”
“You get a hard on like that for every girl that climbs in your window? Impressive by the way.”
I looked down to where she was gazing. Damn you traitorous body!
“Look obviously I’m glad to see you but…”
“You want me. I can see it in your eyes. And other places.” she smirked looking at my shorts.
“Leah Bella and I live together. We have a relationship. She isn’t just some girl I met at the club last weekend.”
“Then why can’t you stop thinking about me Matt?”
“I can!”
“Like hell. Don’t tell me you havent been thinking about throwing me down and ripping my clothes off and fucking me like an animal every single time you see me. Because I know that’s what I have been thinking about doing to you.”
“Leah I am not confirming or denying that comment but you don’t even know me. What is going on here?” She looked at me seriously for the first time today.
“You’re not ready to hear it. Soon though. Soon you and Bella will both understand.”
“Understand what Leah?”
Oh man she just grabbed my dick through my shorts. My very thin shorts.
“Understand that you belong to me! And I will belong to you. I swear to you Matt. No woman will ever make you feel like I can. I was made for you baby. I have to go Matt. But I want you to know something before I leave.”
“What’s that?” I whispered. Damn her hand was still on my dick. My dick that felt like it was about to explode. I was acting like a damn 14 year old kid watching porn for the first time. She leaned over me and I felt her breasts brush my chest. It felt like electricity runing over my body.
“I never wear panties. And I am completely shaved. No body hair. Anywhere. Everytime you see me I want you to think about that. And you will be seeing me Matt. You are mine. I have to go. Your girlfriend is coming.”
She kissed my forehead and jumped out the window. Shit! She jumped out the window! The door opened and Bella walked in. She had a weird look on her face.
“You okay baby?” I asked. She looked a little flustered.
“Huh? Oh yeah, I’m, I’m fine. Are you okay? Are you feeling better?”
Judging by the issue going on under my shorts I rolled over and smoothly pulled the sheets over me.
“Yeah, I’m fine. I’m feeling better. Let me take a nap and I will be up and at em okay?” I should tell her about Leah but that would get her so angry. She would go after her and none of us needed that.
“Who was that knocking at the door baby?”
“Uh. Oh, uh. It was the mailman.”
“Oh okay. Kinda late in the day for the mail isn’t it?”
“I think he forgot something when he left earlier. Hey I’m going to go start dinner.”
“Okay.”
BPOV
I should have told Matt about this. I should have told him Paul was here and what he did and said. But I couldn’t. He was having a bad enough day as is. And I needed to calm down. My damn nipples were still hard as fucking rocks. Damn you Paul, you fucking asshole. I sat at a kitchen chair and buried my head in my hands. This has been three days. How the hell am I supposed to avoid him for the rest of the summer?
