Chapter 9

Jacob just couldn't understand what Edward wanted from him. No one forced him to leave Jacob…no one made him go to Bella…yet there Edward was…sitting at the piano in the living room, his eyes staring, blank and broken, at the keys. Having just arrived back from the arcade with Emmett, his arm around Jacob's waist, Jacob couldn't help but throw a pitying glance towards his ex.

He sighed audibly enough for Emmett to hear.

Emmett put his lips to Jacob's ear. "Just ignore him; he threw himself into this pile of shit, let him climb out."

Jacob nodded, actually agreeing with Emmett's compassionless, yet true, statement. They went up to Emmett's room' as they always had been since they came together. Three days had passed since Edward had been banned from La Push, and Jacob had been at peace with Emmett's company ever since. Emmett scooped Jacob up into his arms, carrying him over to his bed bridal-style.

"I can walk you jerk!" Jacob growled, hating being treated like a girl.

"Of course you can, pup," Emmett taunted, dropping Jacob onto the bed. "Doesn't mean I'll let you."

Jacob sneered as Emmett slowly crawled over him, intertwining their legs.

Jacob moaned slightly as Emmett cool lips brushed his neck. "Mmm…Em."

Emmett blew onto Jacob's adam's apple. "Do I tell you enough how much I love your skin, Jake?"

He ran the tip of his tongue over Jacob's throat up to his chin.

Jacob shuddered submissively. "Emmett…I…"

"Shhh, Jake, we're not going to do anything you don't want to," Emmett promised.

Jacob's head immediately snapped up. "No! No! I'm not worried about that. It's just…this is…new…"

Emmett raised a brow. "What do you mean?"

"I mean…I've never been…you know…like that before…Edward was always too freaking cautious with me. He never kissed me like he meant it; he kissed me like he was kissing a freaking fragile piece of china. Never once did we ever do anything that a couple who loved each should have done."

And that's when the question just slipped out. "Jake, are you still a virgin?"

Jacob eyes widened; he blushed and looked away from Emmett.

"Hey, it's nothing to be ashamed of." Emmett touched Jacob's cheek and turned his head so that he was facing him again. "I didn't even kiss a girl until I met Rosalie."

"Oh…" Jacob didn't know what to say.

"I don't want you to feel pressured to do anything, Jake," Emmett said sincerely. "But…if there's anything that you've feel that you've missed out on…we'll do whatever you want whenever you want."

Jacob smiled up at Emmett.

Blondie had it good, Jacob thought.

"Well…" Jacob smiled bashfully and looked away from Emmett again. "There is something that I've always wanted to do…but…nevermind! You'll just think it's stupid…"

Emmett ghosted his lips over Jacob cheek. "Just tell me, Jakey."

Jacob swallowed back his shyness and whipped out his boldness. "I'm…not ready for sex yet…but…I've always wanted to…lie in the same bed with someone…with neither of us wearing clothes."

Emmett couldn't help but find that request adorable on Jacob's part. "That's all you want, puppy? Well then, you have it."

Emmett pulled back and began to pull off his sweater, but was halted by Jacob grabbing his wrists.

"Let me undress you," Jacob purred, letting go of Emmett's wrists and grasping the bottom of his sweater.

Emmett chuckled as Jacob pulled the sweater over his head. Jacob took the opportunity to feel Emmett's broad chest after he threw the sweater aside. If Edward was considered a beautiful sculpture of Zeus…Emmett was the freaking Adonis. His muscular build was so mesmerizing it was nearly unreal. Jacob trailed his hands over Emmett's abs.

"Your turn, puppy," Emmett purred, already reaching under the brown hoodie that Jacob had cut the sleeves off to make it more manageable for the shifter he was. Jacob happily allowed Emmett to take the top off of him. Wasting no time, Emmett tugged Jacob closer by the belt loops of Jacob cut-off shorts, pressing their chests to each other. Jacob reached down and began to undo Emmett's belt, teasing sliding it from his pants.

Emmett was left in only a navy pair of boxer-briefs before he eagerly pulled those down himself. Jacob tried not to pay attention to the massive erection as Emmett carefully pushed down his shorts.

The boys then eyed each other, this having been the first time either had seen the other naked, well, intimately, at least.

"In we go," Emmett said, taking Jacob's hand and leading him over to his bed. The two boys both crawled under the black satin sheets. Jacob instantly crawled onto Emmett's chest, twisting his legs into his. Emmett put his arms around Jacob's waist and pulled him close. Though their bodies wanted to be released from the carnal tension, the boys drank in the physical intimacy of their bare skin pressing to each other.

"So…I haven't seen much of Mickey…or Bella…lately," Jacob said, breaking the silence.

"Well, Mickey, the poor paranoid guy, is keeping all of Forks under tight security. He's making rounds over and over around the town. We keep telling him to take it easy…and Bella…well…Ed hasn't really been paying much attention to her as of lately."

Downstairs…Edward slowly crushed the piano key, pressing down on each key one at time, each letting out a sour note as he demolished them with his lone digit.

Inside his mind…Edward began to maliciously plot.
