Can't Be Helped

Chapter 5

Embry's POV

Embry heard Jacob's moaning, and grinned. He was so going to give him hell tomorrow. He was lying on his back in one of the Cullen's numerous guest rooms. Quil's body was curled up into the curve of his, head lying on his chest. Quil unconsciously whimpered and buried his head farther into Embry's chest, shaking. Embry gently stroked his back and pulled him closer into him. Quil's whimpering subsided some, but didn't stop completely. It had taken almost two hours to get him to sleep. He was still in pain from what happened to him earlier and was terrified of having nightmares. Embry was there for him every second. Holding. Comforting. Always there for him.

Embry really envied everything Jake and Edward could do together. He really wanted to make love to Quil, but he knew that would hurt them both way more than help them. Quil was a mess right now and desperately needed Embry. And Embry would do anything to make sure that Quil was always safe.

If Embry was being totally honest, he himself was a mess as well and also needed the comfort that only Quil could give him. What he went through, and what he saw happen to his beloved Quil today with the pack and Sam scared him. He had never been so scared in his entire life. When he had hurt Jacob so bad or when he phased for the first time couldn't even come close. Seeing Quil broken and bleeding on the ground nearly drove him insane. It hurt seeing him abused by them, but also it hurt being abused by them. It hurt to find out that Quil had been dealing with Sam's abuse far longer than today and never told him. He understood that Quil was just trying to protect him, but it still hurt. He loved Quil more than anything in the entire world and he would do absolutely anything to keep him safe.

Quil's slight whimpering and shaking turned into screaming and trembling. Embry's heart broke seeing him in such a state. He shhh'd and whispered into Quil's ear, rubbing soft circles into the small of his back. His face contorted into one of terror, and Embry tried to wake him up. He just wouldn't wake up.

Carefully he sat up and pulled Quil into his lap. He placed his hand on the back of the boys head and gently pushed his face into the crook of his neck, rocking back and forth slowly.

"Shhh... Baby it's okay. I'm here; I won't let him hurt you anymore. Shhh... He'll never hurt you again. It's alright. I know it'll be okay. I'm here. Shhh..." Embry whispered. He was filled with rage realizing just how badly the boy he imprinted on was hurt. The screams turned into cries as he woke up, tears soaking the skin of Embry's neck.

Quil clawed at Embry's shirt, crabbing a fistful and pulling Embry painfully against his chest. But Embry just wrapped one arm around his waist and let the other tangle its way into silky black hair. He rocked them back and forth slowly, whispering into Quil's ear to calm him. The over protective werewolf pulled the shaking boy tighter against him, attempting to merge their body's together.

Quill tried to speak through the sobs, but Embry knowing what he would say, placed a slender finger against his lips. "Shhh... Quil. Not right now. You're tired and need to sleep. I know you want to talk about that, but let's wait until tomorrow when it's not," he glanced at the clock, "two o'clock in the morning okay? It's been a long day and we've both been through a lot. It's time to just relax with just the two of us. I need you so badly Quil and I know you need me. We need to talk, but not now. Sleep my love. I'll be here to calm your nightmares."

Quil was quiet for a second but then nodded into the crook of Embry's neck. Fresh tears started spilling out but all he really needed, all he really wanted, was to stay in Embry's warm embrace. Embry rocked the traumatized boy and softly cooed into his ear. Finally Quil let out a long sigh, and fell into a fitful sleep. He knew that if he were to have a nightmare, Embry would be there to support him.

Embry placed a gentle kiss against Quil's temple, held him tighter, and closed his eyes letting out a deep sigh. Carefully he lay back down, arms full of Quileute wolf. Even in his sleeping state Quil still felt the need to be close to Embry. He rolled himself on top of him, lower half resting in-between his boyfriends legs, and sighed contently as he continued to sleep. Embry smiled and softly laid his hands on the sleeping boy's lower back. He found his eyelids drooping closed even though he had intended to stay up all night to watch over his sleeping lover. Embry was soon fast asleep, snuggled up closely with the boy he imprinted on.

Edward's POV

Edward lay with his boyfriend in his arms, watching him as he slept. He was glad to be able to say that Jacob hadn't had any nightmares at all last night. The closest that the smaller boy had got to a nightmare was at about three o'clock in the morning when Jacob had started to whimper and thrash around the bed. All Edward had to do was pull the boy closer against his skin and murmur soothingly in his ear to get him calmed down.

Edward watched as Jacob's eyes slowly fluttered open and smiled when they caught sight of him. He leaned down and placed a tentative kiss against his temple. Jacob whimpered and pulled Edward on top of him, rubbing his hardened length against Edward's. Edward smiled and whispered, "Somebody's needy."

Edward slowly licked the shell of Jacob's ear. He nibbled and sucked his way day the side of Jacob's jaw. Slowly he looked up at the horny boy and kissed him hard, dominating his mouth with his tongue.

"Please, Edward. I need you," Jacob whimpered out. He didn't know what was wrong with him; all Jacob knew was that he really needed Edward inside him right now.

Edward smirked at his needy boyfriend. "You can have me whenever you want," Edward said huskily. He kissed a trail down Jacob's chest and massaged his thighs slightly. Edward was going to take his beloved's ass, again.

Seth POV

Seth grinned up at Jacob when he finally came down two hours later. He watched as Jacob sat down at the kitchen table and laid his head down, groaning. Edward stepped up behind him, and wrapped his arms around his slightly smaller lover. Something told Seth that all the moaning he had heard last night left Jacob with hardly any sleep.

Slowly he walked up next to Jacob and slapped the poor boy lightly on the shoulder. "Thought I should tell you this seeing as you probably forgot. It's mating season buddy," Seth said cheerfully. He squeezed Jacob's shoulder and stepped away, afraid of the boy's wrath.

Jacob just groaned, banged his head on the table, and promptly fell out of his chair. Edward, not expecting it, lost his grip on the boy and dropped him. Looking down at the boy on the ground, Seth realized he had passed out and grinned. So he did know what this meant. Edward however didn't.

"What's wrong with him? And what does mating season mean?" Edward said, slightly freaking out as he pulled Jacob into his lap and wrapped his arms around him, trying to wake him up.

"What does this mean? What does this mean? Well my vampire, this means that Jake will get pregnant. You know, if you guys were to have sex, and judging by all the moans I heard coming from your room last night and for past two hours, you probably did. Congratulations, you'll be a daddy in five months," Seth said once again cheerfully and slapping the vampire on the shoulder.

"Shit," Edward whispered.
