Jake and Angela (1st in werewolf series)

Chapter Sixteen

Lane, Jake and Angela all agreed that they should clean up and make themselves presentable before they called the family back to the house. Lane went up to his room and Angela and Jake went to theirs.

"I don't want to let go of you." Angela said, hugging him tight. Jake understood her completely since he felt the same way. He stood there and held her.

He kissed her and as their lips met Angela felt heat building in her. He ran his hands through her hair and deepened the kiss exploring her mouth with his tongue.

He kissed her and touched her with all the passion he possessed and she matched him. He raised her hands above her head and pulled off her t-shirt and then reached behind her and unfastened her bra. Her breasts fell heavy and full into his waiting hands.

He bent down and sucked her nipples greedily. She moaned with pleasure and buried her fingers in his hair. She looked down at his glorious naked back and ran her hands across it digging her nails in as he sucked harder.

Jake moved his mouth back to hers as he led her to the bed and laid her down. He stood over her and simply looked at her for several long moments. Her lips were red from his kisses. Her cheeks were flushed. Her eyes nearly black with passion. Her nipples were hard and red where his mouth had ravaged them.

He smiled when he realized that she didn't shy away from his gaze. She didn't try to cover herself as she had the first time they had made love. Instead her eyes locked with his and she smiled back.

His smile vanished when the images Draco had shown him flashed through his mind. His hand stabbing the knife deep within her again and again. His hands, covered in her blood, grabbing her face and twisting....

He felt her hand on his cheek. She seemed to read his mind though neither had spoken about anything that had happened during their time apart.

"I am here, Jake. Whatever he told you, whatever he led you to believe, I'm right here." She took his hand and placed it over her heart. He growled softly and crushed her mouth with his as he came down on her.

He slid himself inside her and she called out his name. There was no slow build up to pleasure this time. No slow passion. He rode her hard and fast and she clung to him desperately and moaned his name as she came beneath him and felt him stiffen and shudder inside of her with his release.

He fell down beside her panting and pulled her against him. She rested her head against his chest listening to his heart pound.

"He told me you were dead." Jake said after a few moments. "He told me that he killed you and I didn't feel angry. I couldn't feel anything but sadness. I knew that with you gone I had nothing left worth fighting over. Nothing left worth getting angry over." Angela raised up and kissed him lightly. She looked down in his golden eyes.

"I am sorry he put you through that." she said softly.

"Why in the hell were you and Lane even at that house?" Jake demanded suddenly. "And why the hell was Lucas with you?"

"You were gone a long time Jake. I was scared that something had happened to you. Lane contacted Lucas and asked him to contact you since we knew we couldn't. When he couldn't find you he told us he thought you were dead. I refused to believe that. I reminded Lane that when he was in the silver cage no one could contact him either and I convinced him to help me find you. Lucas helped us track you to that house."

"I told Lane to keep you safe...."

"But he did!" Angela said sensing Jake's anger and rushing to Lane's defense. "He told me to hide behind that big willow tree. I stepped out and Draco saw me... He charged up the hill at me. Lucas changed and jumped in front of him but Draco slapped him away like it was nothing and kept coming.

"That's when Lane changed and ran up the hill. He jumped on Draco and Draco threw him off but Lane jumped in front of him then. Lane attacked him so viciously. He yelled at me to run and I did. I was almost to the house but then I heard him yelp in pain.. I knew he was going to die if I didn't do something. I saw the arrow lying on the ground. I picked it up and ran at them praying that silver took down were tigers the way it did werewolves. I jumped on Draco's back and before he could react I stuck it as hard as I could into his head. He turned then and nearly got me before he fell over dead." Angela took a breath and waited for Jake to reply.

"You are one hell of a woman." he said kissing the top of her head. "Lane took good care of you before that then? He didn't leave you alone?"

"No. He didn't leave me alone for a single second." Angela assured him. "I want you to know that I love your brother" Jake growled low in his throat and Angela was quick to continue.

"Calm down boy." she said soothingly as she ran her hand down his chest and stomach and even lower before bringing it back to his chest again. "You are my mate and my one and only. I don't love your brother that way and he doesn't love me in that way."

"So how exactly do you love each other?" Jake asked feeling suddenly foolish for being so jealous. It was obvious that this woman was loyal and devoted only to him.

"It's hard to explain. I almost feel like he's my twin brother I lost at birth or something." Angela slapped Jake's arm as he chuckled.

"Don't laugh." she scolded. "I know it sounds silly but I feel like he's my real brother. I never had a brother. And do you know what he calls me? Little sister."

"Well he's never had one of those." Jake said kissing her head again. Angela yawned against his chest.

"Tired?" he asked.

"Part of being pregnant I'm afraid." she said. Jake stood up and moved her up onto the pillows and draped the blanket over her.

"Rest. I need to take a shower and talk to Lane. Then I'll let everyone know we're back." Angela nodded and he bent down and kissed her gently before turning and leaving the room.

Jake thought long and hard about what Angela had told him while he showered. He stepped out of the shower, pulled on a pair of jeans and a t-shirt and walked to Lanes room.

"Come on in, big brother." Lane said before Jake could knock. He walked in and found Lane lying in his bed in a pair of sweatpants. He was covered in bruises and cuts but they were all healing.

"I just wanted to tell you thank you." Jake said feeling awkward. He was used to yelling at and scolding his brother not thanking him.

"You don't have to thank me Jake. I would never let anything happen to Angela. During all those long nights in that cabin we got awfully close." Lane said. Jake felt his temper rise but fought it back. He knew Lane was trying to rile him.

"Yes she told me. She said that she feels like you are her twin brother separated at birth. She said she feels a real bond with you."

"So much for my reputation." Lane said sitting up and looking at his brother."I feel the same way about her though. Are you ok with that?" Jake nodded and smiled knowing that he really was.

"Of course I am. Angela is my soul mate and the love of my life. I am secure enough to know that she feels the same about me." Jake replied crossing his arms over his chest.

"Good." Lane replied.

"I should kick your ass for bringing her to that house instead of keeping her hidden like I told you to but I won't because I know how persuasive she can be when she wants something."

"She would have made you proud, Jake.. She said this exactly. 'Lane you know I love you but if you don't help me then I'll kill you myself.'" Jake found himself laughing and Lane was surprised by the sound.

"Anyway thanks for taking care of Angela and thank you for keeping Draco away from her." Lane nodded. "Thank you for not letting down." Jake added.

"Gosh big brother. You're gonna make me cry." Lane said trying to hide the fact that he was indeed beginning to feel emotional. Jake smiled but refused to react to Lane's goading.

"Now that that's settled lets call the family back home. I'm sure they are all worried sick about you." Lane said. Jake nodded and started out of the room. He stopped in the hall and looked back at Lane.

"Oh yea, Lane..." Lane raised his brow.

"What?"

"We're not naming the baby after you."
