Evening Sun

Chapter 42

Jacob stopped dead in his tracks. He looked at me like I was crazy.  “What did you just say, Bella?”  He gasped.

I paused, wondering if I should change my mind.  No, I need to make sure Jacob doesn’t do anything he’ll regret.  Or something he won’t be able to forget.

“Kiss me.”  I repeated.

Jacob quickly closed the distance between us and leaned down, pressing his warm lips against my colder ones.  He froze, when our lips touched.  

I had no clue what to do.  

He stopped responding for a very long five seconds.  I needed to make him kiss me back, I needed to distract him from his pain… from my pain…

I reached up, and wrapped my arms around his neck, tangling a hand in his short dark hair.  Memories of kissing him before, in the snow, flooded into my head.  I was pretty sure those were his thoughts too.  His lips parted slowly, and I smiled against them, knowing I was helping.  His hands were burning hot when he touched my icy waist, pulling me against him.

But he was holding back.  I wasn’t Nessie, and I would never make him fully forget, or move on.  

Our tongues tangled against each other, and I found myself slowly drifting off into pure bliss.  Bliss I never felt when kissing Edward.  A new feeling; a feeling of danger.  I knew this was bad. This was wrong.  

But I loved it.

After a few minutes, Jacob pulled away, but keeping his hands on my waist.  “Bella…”  He whispered, shaking his head slightly.  “I shouldn’t have…”

~~~

Laying in bed next to my husband that night, I realized Jacob takes the pain of losing Nessie away.  Just like he took the pain of losing Edward away.  I know he doesn’t try to, it’s just our slight connection to each other that seems to fix our problems.  We distract each other.

“Bella, I know what happened.”  

I turned my head and looked at Edward, guilty.  “It was only becau--”

“I know why you did it.”  He said softly, interrupting me.  “You wanted him to stay.  Just like last time.”  

I felt horrible, realizing what I did to it’s full extent.

I kissed Jacob Black.
