The Rising Moon Pack

Chapter 13

Jake POV

I watched as Maria’s brow furrowed in thought. I knew that she was a virgin, and I had absolutely no expectation of her giving it up to me just yet. She smiled at me shyly, her mind made up.

“Yours.” She said. “But we’ll stop at mine first so I can grab my toothbrush, if that’s ok!”

“Of course, baby.” I smiled at her as she locked her fingers between mine.

She showed me the way to her bedroom, although my nose knew the way there just from scent alone. She opened the door, and the warm vanilla wrapped me up, inviting me in. Her bedroom was moderately sized, and her bed was placed in the bay window sideways, so that every night she would fall asleep looking out to the stars. I smiled, it seemed absolutely perfect for her.

“What’s so funny?” She asked, smiling up at me as she watched me take in our surroundings.

“It’s funny, “ I said “ I had never thought about how your bedroom would look. But if I were to imagine it in my mind, this is exactly how I would have imagined it, right down to the bed by the window.” I smiled at her. I made the mental note to ask Lottie to move our bed at home.

“ I love it.” She said. “It makes me feel closer to the Moon Goddess.” She grabbed her toothbrush from her en-suite, as well as her hairbrush and a hair tie. I looked at her, amused.

“Trust me, you’ll be grateful for the hair tie!” She laughed. “You wouldn’t wanna be suffocated in your sleep.” I laughed, excited by the thought of sharing a bed with her comforting warmth.

“Are you ready?” I asked her.

“Yep! Let’s go.”

She took my hand again, and this time it was my turn to lead the way. As we walked back to the west wing of the house, Maria pointed out various photos hung on the walls. One, in particular stood out the most. Two teenage girls in a treehouse. One with fiery red curls pulled on top of her head in a messy bun, and another equally striking girl. Her eyes were silver, as was her dead straight hair. She had olive toned skin, with freckles dotted across the bridge of her nose, and she slightly resembled Beta Harry. My heart leapt looking at her, and without even asking I knew that this was Bella.

I stopped in front of the photo, and Maria stopped too. I swallowed, and she looked at me innocently. I suddenly felt a rush of guilt. How could I be stood here, basically eye-f*****g my mate's best friend with her holding onto my hand? I felt ashamed, and looked down. As if she knew what I was thinking, she squeezed my hand and said gently "She's your mate too, you know. I know she's not alive anymore in human form, but I guess its only natural you would react to her. She's the other half of Flynn, after all."

I turned to her, and before I could stop myself I pushed her up against the wall and kissed her passionately. She opened her eyes, and they were silver. Bella was at the surface, and I was in awe of how beautiful she was.

"I'm sorry, Bella. I shouldn't feel ashamed for the attraction I feel to you, but it's a confusing time." I confessed. "I've never been in this position before, 2 mates sharing a body when they used to be separate people is a bit of mind-fuckery I wasn't prepared for." I admitted, shaking my head gently.

"It's ok, darling." She purred calmly. "I know it'll take some getting used to."

Flynn howled jealously in my head, hearing me speaking directly to his mate. He was a possessive guy, I had to admit.

"Jake?" Maria was back. "You ready to go to bed?" She asked gently.

"Yes." I answered her honestly. "I can't wait for the best night's sleep ever, with my forever mate."

"Then let's go!" She giggled.

Maria POV

We got to Jake's room, and I held my breath in anticipation. I hadn't really been in the guest rooms before, and I was excited to be spending the night in one. The light snapped on, and flooded the room with a comforting warm glow. The bed was freshly made, and the scent of jasmine filled the air. I looked around, and saw a small well-packed suitcase sitting at the foot of the four poster bed. The sheets were a crisp white with a lilac and aqua comforter, the Rising Moon pack colours. I walked through the room, and discovered the en-suite had the most beautiful claw foot bathtub. I moaned out loud at the thought of a hot soapy bath, and realised at that moment just how much my body ached. Jake joined me in the doorway, and kissed my bare shoulder.

"I'll run the bath, you find something from my bag to wear to bed." He said to me, and I nodded.

I realised in my excitement that I had completely forgotten pjs of any kind, and unless I wanted to sleep completely naked, finding a tshirt of Jake's was probably my best bet. The sound of water hitting porcelain filled my ears, so I went over to Jake's suitcase. "JAB" was emblazoned the front, I assumed Jake's initials. I unzipped the case, and found a relatively comfy looking T-shirt tucked between all of the crisp suit shirts. Since Jake was going to be here for a week, I decided to unpack his case. As I unpacked, I discovered a tshirt wrapped around a photo frame. I unwrapped it gently, and looked at the photo. In the photo, there was an older man who looked like Jake, with a smaller, whiter haired lady. A younger looking girl was hugging a slightly older boy I didn't recognise, and then Jake stood looking proudly at the two kids. I placed the frame in pride of place on the bedside table, and went back to putting his clothes away.

Just as I was hanging up the final shirt, Jake appeared in the doorway of the bathroom.

"The bath is ready," He stated. "Do you need some help with that zipper?"

"Yes, please." I smiled gently to him. "Michelle helped me get into this thing. I had no idea how I planned on getting back out again!" I laughed. I slid off my heels, and Jake came behind me to work on the zip.

His fingers brushed my hair back from my shoulders, and I shivered at the contact. On instinct, I closed my eyes and leaned back into him as I felt the zip slowly slide downward, leaving my back bare. I moved my arms as I felt Jake slip the fabric forward, letting the dress fall to the floor. I was almost completely bare, in just my panties. I heard Jake swallow as he took my body in.

I turned to face him, and slowly slid my panties down over my hips. He sucked his breath in as his eyes watched my every move, travelling slowly over my bare body. I removed the silver clip that was holding my hair to one side, releasing every curl. They pinged back into place one by one, and Jake licked his lips as he watched. I took the hair tie from my wrist, and pulled my hair up into a messy bun. I stood on my tiptoes, kissed Jake on the nose gently, then whispered

"Close your mouth, or you'll catch flies." I giggled as I ran into the bathroom.

"No fair!" He groaned, following me.

Jake POV

She was such a tease, and she knew it.

I followed her into the bathroom, and watched as she took an appreciative sniff. I had carefully selected the bubble bath from the selection provided, and by the way she was excitedly wiggling her toes, I knew she approved of my choice.

"Do you wanna get in with me?" She asked, innocently batting her lashes at me.

"I'd love to, little one." I answered, honestly. "But are you comfortable with that?"

She chewed her lip gently as she thought over my question.

"Yes, I'm okay with it." She smiled at me confidently.

I started to undress in front of her, taking my time. I watched her eyes rake over me hungrily, taking every inch in. I was in good shape, even I knew that. My boxers were the final thing to hit the floor, and I registered the shock in her eyes as she took in the size of my p***s.

"Oh." She swallowed, hard.

"Relax." I reassured her. " Nothing will happen, not until you're completely ready."

She smiled at me weakly, the relief evident on her face. I couldn't blame her, at 10 inches my p***s was definitely something to behold. But I knew she was pure, so we would take things as slowly as she wanted.

I took her hand gently and stepped into the tub. She followed me, gripping the edge of the bath to steady herself. I sat down, and she turned around to face me. I guided her until she was sat between my legs, her tiny feet tucked either side of my hips. She sighed contentedly as the hot water rose around her shoulders, washing away the ache from dancing and being squeezed into that tight dress all night long. She yawned, and I knew she was seconds away from falling asleep. I gently manoeuvred her so that she had turned her body against mine, and whilst she rested her head on my shoulder, I set to work washing her gently.

Before I knew it, she was a dead weight in my arms. I leaned her forward gently whilst I rubbed the soap into her back, and breathe deeply. The water was making her warm vanilla sent even stronger, and I had never felt so complete. I rinsed her off and grabbed a towel from the chair beside the bath. I folded it, tucked it under Maria's head as I leaned her back against the tub. I stood quietly and took a bigger towel from the rack, wrapping it tightly and knotting it at my waist. I leaned over Maria and pulled the plug to drain the water. I grabbed her a fresh towel to wrap her with and prepared to lift her out of the bath.

"Jake?" She whispered, sleepily.

"Shhh, baby. It's ok. " I said quietly.

I carried Maria's sleeping body out of the bathroom, and noted she had laid out clothes on the bed. I smiled to myself as I noticed that she had chosen my favourite tshirt to sleep in, and after I dried her off carefully, I pulled it over her head, and pushed her arms gently through the sleeves. It swamped her, but she looked so beautiful. I pulled the sheets back, and placed her softly into bed. As soon as her body hit the mattress, she rolled onto her stomach and hugged the pillow tightly. I pulled my own pj shorts out from the drawer Maria had placed them in, and put them on. I climbed into bed next to Maria, and as I leaned over to switch the lights off, I saw Maria had placed my family photo frame on my bedside table.

My eyes travelled over the faces in the photo, my dad, my mom, my sister, and my brother, Wyatt.

"Goodnight, Kid." I whispered, switching off the light.
