The three heralds of Hope County had very different ways of running their regions, but Joseph asked them all to maintain a few similarities. The Father's requests for his siblings were to convert as many people willingly as possible, to help members of his flock to find the right path, and to treat every member of his flock equally. Yes, the heralds weren't meant to have favourites.
But just like many other rules that Joseph had provided for the Project, Jacob managed to break another one. The eldest Seed had a favourite member of the flock, not that he would ever actually admit that. He simply called them the 'strongest' but that only meant that they were his favourite in one way or another. And that person was you, his favourite soldier.
You started out as a soldier but you worked your way through the ranks, earning your place in Jacob's army. It wasn't too long before Jacob took an interest in you, noticing how fast you climbed the ranks and how many of his soldiers you put to shame. You were his strongest.
His personal interest in you intimidated you at first, you assumed he was going to work you to death and he nearly did but you proved that you were worthy to stand beside him in combat. You eventually earned your place at his right hand man, or woman in this case.
You basically did the work that he didn't have time to do, train the new recruits when he was busy, observe the soldiers with him, plan the schedules for the following days.
Your days were spent by Jacob's side. You got to see him as something other than the scary soldier or the monster people believed him to be, you got to see him when he had fallen asleep at his desk, or the nights were he worked himself so hard because he couldn't sleep, the nights were you had to force him to go to bed, the times that you caught him outside in the dead of night outside either chopping fire wood or training by himself. An unofficial part of your job was to look after him and make sure he didn't work himself to death, of course he would never say anything like that and you didn't mind that part of the job at all. To the rest of the flock you were just Jacob's right hand, nothing but completely professional.
But when you spend that much time together you are bound to develop a more personal relationship. You had both become friends in some way, you were the only person outside of the family that Jacob had normal conversations with and sometimes you even felt like you were Jacob's equal and not his soldier.
You would accompany Jacob to Joseph's church, usually you would both show up to the sermon and just head back to the mountains afterwards, but sometimes you would stay to speak with his siblings. This was one of those times.
Jacob was standing with Joseph, the preacher was speaking to him but he wasn't listening, he wasn't even looking at him. Instead Jacob was looking behind Joseph, watching you speaking to his youngest brother. He couldn't hear what either of you were saying but he could see both of your faces. John just spoke with a small smirk on his lips and you laughed, making Jacob furrow his brow. Jacob had never really heard you laugh, sometimes he would say something that you found funny but you always seemed to stop yourself before you actually laughed. You did it because Jacob was your superior and he taught you that something like that was inappropriate, but Jacob didn't understand why you would laugh with John and not him.
You nodded as you tucked your hair behind your ear, looking up at John as he spoke to you. Why was John even talking to you in the first place? No. Why were you talking to him?
"...Jacob? Are you listening to me?...are you alright?" Joseph asked, grabbing Jacob's attention again.
"Yeah, I'm fine" Jacob nodded, shrugging slightly.
Joseph frowned before looking behind him, spotting you and John. That's when Joseph realised what was going on with Jacob. Joseph opened his mouth to speak, most likely to give Jacob some brotherly advice, but the soldier just dismissed himself and pushed past him.
"Time to go soldier" Jacob ordered as he walked past you and towards the exit of the church. You said your goodbyes to John, Joseph and Faith before following your boss out of the church, climbing into his truck with him.
The drive back to the veteran centre was silent but you could feel the unusual tension coming from Jacob. When you got back to the centre you followed Jacob up to his office, noticing that he seemed much more tense and stressed than when you were going to the church. Once you got into his office, you shut the door behind you and watched as Jacob sat at his desk.
"Do you want to take the evening rounds or should I lead them?" you asked after clearing your throat, hoping to ease what ever this tension was.
"Since when do you talk to John?" Jacob asked, catching you off guard.
"I don't really talk to him, he introduced himself properly about two weeks ago when we were at the church" you explained, still standing by the door.
"I don't like my soldiers being distracted" he huffed, leaning back in his chair.
"I promise you that John isn't a distraction at all. I was just being polite to your brother" you shook her head, a little worried that Jacob was going to demote you. At this point you weren't worried about rejoining the soldier, but you would miss your time with Jacob. You would never let anyone know but you had developed feelings for Jacob Seed. You thought that it would be a small crush that would go away but as you spent more time with Jacob, learning more about the real him, your feelings only grew. Little did you know, Jacob was feeling the same way.
"I'm sorry, I didn't realise that I did anything wrong" you apologised, hanging your head slightly.
"No, you didn't do anything wrong. Just don't talk to John" Jacob ordered roughly as you heard him standing up and walking towards you. "You're my soldier, your focus needs to remain on your duties" he reminded you.
That was when your head shot up to look at him with a confused expression, his facial expression was neutral but there was a unfamiliar look in his eyes. Was he...jealous? No of course he isn't. Why would Jacob be jealous? He isn't interested in you, you are just a solider. Aren't you?
"John isn't a distraction Sir, I have no interest in him. He's not my type" you joked slightly, scratching the back of your neck, but when you saw something in Jacob's expression change you thought that you said something wrong and apologised quietly.
"Alright then pup, what is your type?" Jacob asked and your eyes widened slightly at the sudden change of nickname. He normally just calls you soldier.
"Excuse me?"
"If John isn't your type, what is?"
"I-I don't know"
"Give it a shot" he shrugged and you were sure that he just likes to watch you squirm.
"I-I guess...kind of rugged, strong, not just a soldier but a leader. I don't know, this is stupid" you sighed and shook your head, adverting your gaze.
"Is there something that you aren't saying pup?" Jacob asked. Jacob wasn't stupid, he was pretty sure you were describing him, he was pretty certain that your behaviour was because you didn't want him to know about your feelings. But he just couldn't be sure unless he was 100% certain, he needed you to say it.
"No-I...what is this all about Jacob?" you asked, getting frustrated and flustered.
"Just asking a question" he shrugged, raising an eyebrow at you.
"Right, well. We are going to be late to the evening rounds, I'll lead them tonight" You turned around quickly and reached to open the door but Jacob pressed his palm against it and held it closed.
"You will be dismissed once you answer my question" Jacob spoke sternly but not threateningly.
"Look, I'm not interested John because..." you began but paused. Part of you knew that Jacob's behaviour was because he was jealous, and that meant that he had feelings for you, right? But another part of you though that this was some act so that you would confess your feelings for him and he would mock you for them, by the way he was acting and pressing you for an answer you knew that he was already aware of your feelings. But you wondered how he figured it out. "...I have feelings for you" you confessed, adverting your gaze from him. You were embarrassed and just couldn't bring yourself to even look at him, you were sure that he was going to laugh in your face.
"That's all I needed to hear" Jacob huffed, making you look up at him with a confused expression. But before you could even comprehend what was happening, his lips had crashed into yours, stealing your breath from you.
Your eyes fluttered shut as you began to kiss him back, gripping onto his army jacket like you were afraid to let go and his hands moved to your hips, pushing you back against the door. His body pinned yours to the wood of the door. His grip on your hips tightened and you wrapped your arms around his neck, running your fingers through his hair.
One of his hands drifted up, slipping under your shirt and the feeling of his rough, calloused hands against your soft skin was like heaven. That's when you pulled away from him, your hands on his shoulders to push him away. He was stronger than you so he could have easily stayed were her was but he lent back, looking down at you as if he was waiting for you explain what was wrong.
"Jacob...Sir, I can't do this and pretend that nothing happened" you shook your head. Jacob took some time to think over your words and you almost thought that he was going to tell you to leave, but then he spoke.
"You think I was jealous of John because I just wanted to fuck you?" he asked, almost sounding amused. You just nodded slighting, refusing to look at him. "Y/N look at me" he sighed and brought one hand up to cup your cheek and forced you to look at him. "If that's all I wanted I would have done it already" he told you, making you try to look away again but he held your head in place. "I was jealous because you were talking to him and I wanted to be talking to you, I was jealous because you belong by my side not his" he explained. "This won't be a one time thing, pup" Jacob promised you.
"I didn't think you were the jealous type" you smiled a little, just now realising how red your face was.
"I am actually a very jealous man, and when I see something I want I will have it, and I certainly won't let somebody else have it" Jacob smirked slightly as he lent back down to press his lips to yours again. This time you weren't hesitant, you instantly kissed him back and wrapped your arms around his neck.
One of his hands remained on your hip while the other drifted under your shirt again, running up your waist and stopping at the bottom of your ribs. His body pressed yours against the door more as his hand on your hip drifted down you thigh until it reached the back of your knee. He hitched your leg up to his waist, and before you knew it his other hand did the same. You were swiftly lifted off of the ground and pressed against the door. Your legs instinctively wrapped around his waist.
Jacob pulled his lips away from yours and you already missed the feeling of his chapped lips against yours, but you accepted the loss when you felt his lips against your neck. You knew that his kisses and nips were going to leave marks and you didn't mind at all, especially when all you could focus on was how his beard felt against your skin. Jacob made sure to leave dark marks on you, just to remind you and everyone else that you are his. You let your head fall back and rest against the door as he worked down your neck. It surprised you when he rolled his hips into yours, making your breath hitch.
Jacob reached around you and you heard the click of the door being locked. You whined, actually whined, when he pulled away from you and placed you on your feet. Your legs felt weak. This man had barely touched you and you were already finding it difficult to even stand.
Jacob turned around and began to walk away, leaving you confused. Once he reached his desk, he turned back to you and lent back against the surface. "Strip" he ordered with a gruff voice.
For a moment you couldn't move, to stunned under his intense gaze. Suddenly your mind snapped into action and you began to remove your clothing. Jacob watched with a predatory look in his eyes and his arms crossed over his chest. Once you finished undressing, just leaving your clothes in a messy pile on the floor, he beckoned you towards him with a single hand gesture.
You obeyed, shyly walking towards him until you stood in front of him. Jacob smiled slightly as he placed his hands on your, now bare, hips. You closed your eyes as you focused on the feeling of his warm, rough hands moving up your waist. His hand glided around to the small of your back, pulling you against his chest and making your eyes shoot open at the sudden movement. As he kissed you once again he spun you both around, swiftly picking you up and sitting you on the edge of the desk, him standing between your legs.
You reached up and began to push his jacket off of his shoulder, and he let you as it dropped to the ground. He couldn't help but notice how adorable you were as you tugged at his tee shirt, silently begging for him to take it off. Having mercy, Jacob pulled away and lifted his tee shirt over his head and threw it to the floor.
You took this time to admire him in a way you never have before, you never thought that you would be in this situation and you wanted to remember every second of it. Without you even realising it your hands lay flat against his stomach. Jacob was definitely well built, there was no doubt about that. You wants brushed up his stomach and over his chest, your fingers exploring every scar and burn on his skin, trying to commit them to memory.
Your hands began to trail down his stomach again, this time you looked up to meet Jacob's gaze and noticed that he was just been watching you with an unreadable expression on his face. Your hands stopped moving once they reached his belt buckle.
Jacob's hands moved up your waist as he lent down to kiss you passionately, then moving his hands to your hips and pulling you as close to him as possible. The skin on skin contact that you craved from him was better then you had imagined, your chest pressed against his. You were so busy focusing on the warmth coming from him that you didn't notice his hand drifting between your legs until you let out an involuntary moan.
He began to kiss down your neck and chest and you held onto his shoulders, preventing yourself from falling backwards. You knew that he was good with his hands from all the hunting and training he does, but this was ridiculous. It wasn't long before he had you burying your face in his chest to muffle the sounds coming from you as you came undone.
Once you came down from your high, you lifted your head and pressed kisses against his neck and shoulder. "You ready, pup?" Jacob asked, his voice lower than you have ever heard it before.
You just nodded and shivered slightly when you heard the sound of a belt buckle and a zipper. Jacob's hand moved to the back of your head and tangled his finger in your hair, tilting your head back before bringing his lips down to yours. An almost strangled sound came from your throat as he pushed into you without warning.
Your grip on Jacob tightened as his hands moved up to your shoulders, pushing you down onto your back and he was too strong to fight against. You lay back on his desk, hearing a few things fall to the floor but you did see or care what it was.
Jacob didn't move at first, he looked at you to make sure you were alright and then he began to move, being signalled by the way your breathing became steady again. His started with a few slow and careful trusts, listening to the slight gasps that you were making.
He soon began to pick up the pace until his trust were hard and fast. You reached over your head and grabbed the edge of the desk. One of his hands held your hip strongly to keep you in place. His other hand ran up your stomach and chest, your back arching into his touch, until his hand was loosely wrapped around your neck.
It felt too soon when you were both finishing together, as a reaction Jacob swiftly and easily lifted your back off of the desk and pulled you against his chest. He simply grunted into the crook of your neck and you called his name. "You're mine pup, don't forget that" he spoke, more like growled against your ear. You both stayed like that for a moment, his face buried in your neck and your forehead resting on his shoulder. You only smiled when you felt his hand beginning to stroke up and down your back.
Jacob pulled away from you and zipped up his jeans and fastened his belt again, before looking back at you. Sitting on his desk. He hoped that he would never forget that image. He assisted you down from his desk before guiding you to his chair.
Jacob sat down in his desk chair and pulled you onto his lap, you smiled and curled up in his lap the best you could and buried your face in his neck. "Definitely not a one time thing" Jacob hummed, holding you against his body and kissing your forehead, an uncharacteristically gentle and tender gesture.
"I think we missed the evening rounds" you mumbled into his neck, feeling his chest vibrate as he chuckled.
"Well, I think we are going to be missing a few more" Jacob commented, making you laugh. There it was, your laugh. But this time you weren't laughing with John, you were laughing with him. He smiled to himself and rested his head against the back of his chair, feeling your breathing change. You had fallen asleep. He had hoped that you would have enough energy to at least wait until you were both in his bed, but he was happy to wait right here.
