Sofia's POV
How simple everything is when you get help! Not because the house has become particularly messy in the little time we have been at home, but there are some minor things to get in order. Jacob's the one who’s been living here the longest and is the best option to do the shopping. Lucas and I clean up the
house and then we carry extra tables and chairs out onto the patio with the extraordinary view. When Jacob comes home, I help him put away all the groceries before I prep the meat. I'm slicing up the potatoes as Lucas comes in and pulls me away lifting me on the kitchen counter. I guess this is our spot! He puts his hands on my hips and leans his forehead against mine.
A smile sneaks over my lips. His soft lips caressed mine lightly before releasing me and taking over the work I was doing. I sit and watch with my legs dangling over the edge. Wonderful
Jacob comes in and steals a kiss Before waking out again.
As Lucas prepared dinner, I jumped down and walked off to bring everything needed to make a sandwich for lunch. Cheese and ham are underestimated. I hop onto the kitchen counter again with my sandwich and continue studying Lucas while eating. He moves close to me, and I think he wants kisses, but instead, he steals a bite of my sandwich. He laughs at my offended expression, a deep rumbling sound that makes my knees weak. He kisses me on the nose before stealing another bite and returning to cooking. I stick out my tongue to him before I jump down to make a sandwich for him as well, and one for Jacob. When I'm back at the countertop with the sandwiches, I shouted to Jacob at the top of my lungs. It can be heard throughout the entire house. Lucas jumps high in surprise. He drops the knife and puts a hand over his chest.
"Damn woman, you have one strong voice!" he exclaims, still holding his heart. I shrug my shoulders and extend his sandwich towards him. He looks at me but doesn’t take it out of my hand. Instead, he takes a bite and continues slicing. So I continue to feed him piece by piece. When Jacob shows up in the kitchen and sees me feed Lucas, he gives me his best sad puppy eyes and walks up to me, where he stands between my legs.
"What about me?" He whines.
I hold up his sandwich in the air and spin it in front of his face.
"Hungry?"
I ask, holding it towards his lips.
When he opens his mouth to take a bite, I snatch it away from him with a giggle. His eyes glow with surprise but slowly turn to mischief before he growls at me. He grabs my hips and pulls me towards him with a firm grip.
"Are you gonna let me starve?" He whispers and fake-pout at me.
"Maybe…" I mumble and tease him by taking a bite of my own.
Jacob, who until now has leaned immensely close to me, suddenly backs away and turns to Lucas.
"That wasn’t very nice, was it? If our little angel doesn’t want to play nice, maybe we don’t need to either? ”
"Speak for yourself, she's kind to me!" Lucas answers complacently and gives me a dazzling smile.
Jacob's hands wander up on my hips and sneak up on my back. He presses my body against him before he turns his face back to me and catches my eyes with his. Slowly he rubs his nose against mine and mumbles, "Don't be mean, little angel?" his nose slides over my cheek against my ear. His lips touch my earlobe, and a shiver goes through my body as he begins to place small feathery kisses along my neck. A small moan escapes me before I bite the left corner of my lips, and my head tilts to the side. His feathery kisses become more intense, and soon he sucks lightly where my throat meets my shoulder. I am so engrossed in the feeling that I do not notice when he backs off and stops his treatment of my neck. Cold air against my moist skin makes me open my eyes, I did not even know I had closed them. When I look up at him, his eyes flicker excitedly.
"Now, would you be so kind?" he mumbles in a deep voice before opening his mouth, ready to be fed. I am betrayed by my own body. Rolling my eyes, I give in and offer him his sandwich. He stays between my legs but lets one of his hands sink back to my hip. I continue to feed them both with a sandwich in each hand while Jacob picks up mine and feeds me. I giggle at them. They are so weird sometimes! When we have done everything we can in the kitchen and have eaten up, we clean up
after ourselves.
"Come, angel, we have something to show you!" Jacob says happily and takes my hand. He leads me up the stairs and turns right towards his bedroom. Lucas follows us silently. But when we reach the door, Lucas suddenly puts his hands over my eyes from behind, and Jacob releases my hand. My ability to breathe stops in a heartbeat. And my body solidifies. What's going on? What are they going to do?
"Easy, it's a surprise!" Lucas comforts me. And I take a shaking breath, trying to calm down. We slowly go into the bedroom, but I see nothing, I hold up my hands so I don't walk into
anything and gently feel in front of me with my feet. When Lucas seems happy with my placement, they count down, three, two, one, and he removes his hands. Against the wall to the right of the bathroom door is a brand new dressing table, with a beautiful oval mirror. On the dresser are three small boxes and one larger, wrapped gift. I stand frozen in my seat and just stare at the surprise in front of me. Through the mirror I see them looking at me with expecting eyes. I breathe and feel the fear letting its hard grip on me wilt. Through tear-filled eyes, I smile at them and mumble silently: "To me?"
They both nods in response, and I walk forward and carefully sit down on the padded stool. The boxes are ordered of size, so I start with the smallest. I blink away the tears and gather myself. It feels like I'm doing nothing but cry nowadays. When did that happen? My hands shakes slightly when I opened the first
box. In it are two gold stud earrings with a yellow stone in each, they glisten beautifully in my hand. In the second box is a gold bracelet, a simple twisted chain with the same yellow stone. In the third, and the last box is a simple gold
necklace. It has the same thin twisted chain with a simple charm containing the same stone.
"It's your birth crystal!" Lucas says carefully. It’s so beautiful, I've never been given anything close to this, so exquisite. It’s simple yet the most wonderful jewelry ever. I’ve had enough of tears and smile at them, I try to tell them everything
whit this smile. When I attempt to get up, they put one hand each on my shoulders and stop me.
"Open the last one too!" Encourages Jacob with eyes that shine with happiness.
I tear off the paper from the large gift and open it. Everything picked up in the bookstore is in it. The sketchbook, the pencils, the two books… My plans to not cry go down the drain and I burst into a full-scale ugly cry. I sob like a child and am barely able to breathe. I quickly turn on the spot and throw myself up and wrap my arms around both of them, I'm so incredibly happy. The tears flow from my eyes like water from a waterfall, and I
probably look terrible, but right now, I don’t care! I kiss them both on the cheeks several times while thanking them again and again. They chuckle at my joy and take turns answering my hugs and kisses.
"I'm glad you like them, honey!"
"Your welcome! Angel!"
They say through the laughter.
After I have calmed down a bit, Lucas needs to leave to pick up his mother and sisters. Jacob scoops me up and carries me to the bed. He puts me down and gives
me one last kiss on my forehead before telling me to rest before everyone comes. When he attempts to walk away I take his hand.
"Stay!" I mumble. I feel spent!
"Of course!" he says and lies down in bed in front of me, he takes my hands in his. He rubs his nose against my fingers and kisses them. I give him my happiest, softest, most loving smile before drifting off to sleep. Lucky me, Jacob has set the alarm, and after a quick power nap of fifteen minutes, we
wake up well-rested. I walk off to the guestroom and take a shower. I shave my legs for the first time in a month, and while my hair is wrapped in a towel, I start to put on some moisturizing cream. I dried my hair while contemplating what to do with it. After some light makeup, I still haven’t decided on what to
do to my hair and give up leaving it as it is. I put on a flowery wrap dress that Lucas picked out at the mall. When I’m done I walk off to the master bedroom to put on the new jewelry that I left on the dressing table. Walking in, the smell of Jacob is strong. The bathroom door is opened. Quickly I walked over to the dresser and put on the neckless, bracelet, and earrings. As I turn to walk out Jacobs stands there in all his glory, a towel wrapped low on his hips. His chiseled chest looks delicious, and his damp hair and beard are glistening. I stand there like a fool staring at him in all his splendor, realizing he is doing the same.
“Mine!”
He whispers and is on me in a split second. He lifts me onto him and kisses me with a needing force. My legs wrap around him and I feel him walking off with
me. I yelp as he suddenly throws me onto the bed with soft covers. I bounce, and His hands grab my hips and pull me down to the edge. I held my breath as he pulled up my dress, exposing my thighs. His eyes as black pools, he looks at me as he pulls the strings to the dress and slowly opens it up to expose me fully to him. His breathing is strained when he leans over caressing my body with his hands capturing my lips in a new fiery kiss that makes my head spin. The desire for him is tremendous and I push myself towards him in an attempt to get even closer. He moans against my mouth and rolls his hips pressing against me. He plants kisses down my chin, throat, and collarbone before turning back to my mouth.
“You are, truly beautiful!” I hear him moan against my lips before pulling back panting.
“So are you!” I gasp, not wanting him to stop. I grab him by his neck in an attempt to pull him back down, but in vain.
“I’m sorry Sofia, but now isn’t a good time!” He breaths, “let’s get ready before everyone is here!”
Where the f**k did all this self-control come all of a sudden?
I nod before letting him go and fall back against the bed with a disappointed grunt. He closes his eyes tight, apparently having an internal fight with Blue about this while backing up.
I quickly stand and walk up to him, taking him in my arms and holding him tight. I rest my head on his chest and feel his warm skin and hear his pounding heart.
“This isn’t helping angel!”
“Let me talk to him!”
“No!” he says definitively!
“Let me talk to him, pretty please!” I beg, rubbing my nose against his chest, following the outlines of his muscles. He sighs defeated, and when he lifts me and wraps my legs around him holding me by my ass I know who I’m dealing with.
“You wanted me, mate!” Blue growls against my neck.
“Yes!" I mumble against his hair as he kisses my throat, "could you please stop fighting him for control?” I beg, making him stop dead in the middle of sucking the exact spot as Jacob did a moment ago. He puts me down and looks down on me tilting his head to his side.
“He is trying to protect me from moving too fast, and you are making it hard on him!” I explain not knowing how I can be so sure of myself regarding his intentions. His shoulders slump, and he breaks eye contact before nodding.
“Thank you!” I mumble and kiss his chest softly.
Jacob and Blue stay silent, so I stand still and wait.
When Jacob hugs me I know we are all good.
“Thank you, he never listens to me!” he chuckles.
“He is a complete puppy, and I’m happy to help!” I answer satisfied by my ability to
at least "tame" this wolf.
He takes a step back and ties my dress for me before kissing me again and sending me off so he can get ready!
