Chapter 53: In Which They Try Something New

  4,536 Chapter 53: In Which They Try Something New
A/N: All right, girls (and boys), I'm back as promised. I need to thank you all so, so much for all your wonderful, lovely comments and birthday wishes. You really are the best - I don't deserve you.

I'm sure this is something you've been waiting on, another Jake/Nessie . . . moment. And since my chapters are full of J/N moments, I'm sure you know what in particular I mean. I think a few people were expecting something crazy but you have to remember how conservative Jake is with Nessie - they're taking it slow. The next chapter is time-spacing, I'm going to warn you, so don't expect several chapters detailing each day. The days are flying past for Nessie and I want the readers to feel that too.

Make sure you let me know how I did. Again. :)

Oh, and because I've decided I like giving stuff away, reviewers can ask for a chapter title from the next chapter to chapter 60, and I'll add it into your reply. Just 'cause I love y'all. :D

Disclaimer: I don't own anything, most especially not the amazing quote below by Warsan Shire. I can't sing her praises enough and recently, to my complete astonishment, she has begun to read Undeniable. She's a busy girl, so I don't know how long it'll take her to get this far, but I'm just honored she checked it out at all. Who knew she was Jacob fan? Anyway, her poetry is amazing, as you can see.

- warsan shire, day twenty-two.

I woke up the next morning, naked and in bed with my husband. After the most amazing night. But eleven, eleven, eleven was pounding in my head. Another day gone. Another one of my Jacob-days.

But on the up side - I shifted my legs, tensed my inner muscles and arched my back. No soreness. Some tenderness, definitely, but no pain at all. Guess the second time's the charm.

I rolled over and pressed my lips to Jacob's shoulder, letting my hand trail down to trace patterns along the small of his back. He groaned and shifted his weight.

It was still early, and I hate to say it, but Jacob wasn't waking up to breakfast today. I had other plans for him.

I ran my fingertips lightly up his side, knowing it would tickle him. I sidled up a little and pressed a gentle kiss to Jacob's relaxed mouth.

"Mmm."

So, it's alive. I giggled a little to myself and kissed him again, reaching my palm up to touch Jacob's cheek. I flashed him a picture of last night. He groaned, a very different groan this time, and shifted again.

"Wake up, my Jacob," I urged, pressing my face into his warm neck and breathing in deep. He felt like home. "It's morning – it's time to wake up, come on."

His beautiful dark eyes opened slowly and he gave me a sleepy smile.

"There's a naked Nessie in my bed in my dreams and in real life."

"Good morning to you too," I said back, trying to hold back my grin as Jacob's lips came down to kiss me gently. "I feel really good this morning."

Jacob's eyes immediately lit with recognition. One of his arms threaded around my waist and pulled me flush up against him, making desire rise up in me. "Do you?"

"Really good," I assured him, running the side of my foot up Jacob's leg and back down again. "So, I was thinking . . . if your hungry-werewolf-self can tolerate some cereal for breakfast . . ."

"I was actually thinking about some Nessie for breakfast," Jacob said, which was corny but still ridiculously cute and sexy at the same time. I reached up to kiss him and he was already shifting his weight until he was more on top of me than before. "If you've got some to spare."
