"You ruined all my plans, you know?" Jake accused me between kisses, his hands were pressing my body flush against his own. Despite the accusation there was still a sparkling smile on his face, one that seemed to match the sparkling ring I now wore on my finger.

My cheeks were starting to ache from the constant smile but I didn't want the dull pain to end, I wanted to stay in this moment forever and ever. "How so?" I remarked switching my gaze from his dark eyes to the beautiful ring that rested on my finger.

"I was going to propose in two weeks, I had it all planned out — it would have gone similarly to this —but you just had to start getting antsy didn't you?" He joked, swaying us softly from side to side as if we were dancing to inaudible music.

"I admit I felt left out." I confessed as I locked my hands together behind his head as I let him twirl me around. "Everyone was getting houses, or getting married, or having babies... I just wanted to start our life as well. Your excuse this morning was complete crap."

"I realised that... I just couldn't think of anything else to say." Jake's explanation seemed valid but there was a hint of guilt in his eyes.

To distract him I pulled away from his arms and took his hand instead and began to walk us back in the direction of my house. "Come on, let go celebrate." My voice dipped just a tone lower as I tried to sound as seductive as I thought possible.

"Actually, I had something else in mind." He confessed and my expression faltered as I tried to read him. He had got annoyingly good at hiding his particular thoughts from me, right now he was covering his real thoughts with the idea of me stripping in front of him.

"Nice." I chastised, though it was lighthearted, he knew I was reading his mind.

"You have to promise me one thing." Jake requested, stopping us mid walk to spin me back into his body.

"What's that?" I asked curiously, were there more surprises waiting for me?

"Put your shield back up." He clarified with a sly smile playing on his lips.

I narrowed my eyes at him suspiciously; there was definitely more surprises. "If you say so, fiancé." I let my shield drop into place, my senses dulling minutely. Jake then proceeded to pull a thick, grey tie out of his front pocket. "Oh, it's going to be that kind of surprise is it?"

I couldn't help but giggle as Jake's cheeks flushed pink. He stared at me, kind of amused but shocked and even a little thoughtful. Then, he suddenly shook his head and got back on point.

"No!" I laughed at his outburst. "It's for your eyes." He said.

"It still seems like that sort of surprise to me." I loved torturing him. He huffed a breath out and seemed to become even more awkward. That wasn't like him.

"Oh, shut up." He rolled his eyes before moving forward with the tie. I closed my eyes for him and let him place the tie over my eyes and knot it into place behind my head. "It's not too tight is it?"

"No, it's fine." I told him softly, holding my hand out in front of myself ready for him to take it. Losing my sight and my mind reading heightened my other senses. It was like I could feel the air shifting as Jake moved closer to me, I knew the exact moment that he would take my hand.

I became a whole new level of excited and I tried my best not to let my sense of smell lead the way for me. Immediately my mind went to Jake taking us to somewhere private and comfortable for us to celebrate rather than my house, but the longer we walked for I realised we were heading back down the path of rose petals.

"Where are you taking me?" I asked, the questioning tone very clear in my voice as I stepped along slightly behind him.

"It's a secret." He told me, again the teasing lilt mixed in with his words.

I soon realised we were approaching my yard, I could tell from the smells of the pack and their family members as they lingered in the air, though they were fresher than I remembered. Not being able to help it, I strained my ears and was met by multiple sets of thumping hearts. Were all our friends waiting for us?

Jake stopped and I could feel a warmth radiating from behind me, it was strong but it felt nice on my skin. It may sound strange but I could tell there were a lot of people, all their scents were mixing together, the almost synchronised sound of their lungs filling with air and their hearts beating to an awkward, grouped rhythm.

"Ready?" Jake whispered as I felt his hand begin to unknot the tie behind my head.

"What for?" I asked innocently, though my highly sensitive ears could hear what he had planned for us.

"This." He pulled the tie from my eyes and I got a flash of the back of the house before he gripped my hips and whirled me around to the inside of a marquee.

The heat I felt before radiated from a small open fire in the centre of the marquee, there was a small opening in the ceiling of the tent for the smoke to escape. The rest of the the room was again adorned with bouquets of fresh blood red roses and petals were scattered across the grass. Candle lanterns hung from the ceiling illuminating the room to give us some light. I couldn't have imagined anything more beautiful.

"Congratulations!" Chorused Jake and I's family and friends. Our closest family members were in the centre of the room, with the Cullens standing just to the side of my dad and siblings.

"Oh my god! Wow!" I was shocked... I couldn't believe that Jake was able to pull this off without me finding out. "I need to keep a closer eye on you." I muttered to Jake as our families swarmed towards us.

"Don't ruin it for yourself." He laughed and pulled me into his side so he could place a sweet kiss against my temple.

"I'm so happy for you." Tori greeted me with open arms as she threw herself at me. "Lying to you was such a struggle."

My face blanked and I stepped back from her. "So you all knew he was going to propose tonight?" I asked bewilderedly. How had they all kept this a secret?

"We all did. What happened at the house earlier was part of the act." Scarlett explained with a giggle, covering her mouth to try and muffle the sounds.

"You guys!" I whined exasperatedly. "I do not like how you got around my mind reading, I'll be keeping an eye on all of you." The group laughed as my dad pushed through to envelop me on his arms.

"We are so happy for you, Aria." He was beaming with pride as he held me close. "Congratulations to the both of you, I know you've been waiting for this."

"Sorry, Rob. It just had to be perfect." Jake chimed in, again his body moved into mine as he wrapped his strong arms around me.

Jake and I were then passed around from family member to family member and then Tori shoved a phone in my face. "It's Mom!"

I placed the phone to my ear and then my mother's sweet, warm voice spoke out. "Hello?"

"Mom! Mom! Mom!" I answered back, my voice showing the sheer happiness and excitement that was coursing through me.

"Yes, sweetheart?" My expression faltered as her usual light-hearted voice came back shaky and unsure.

"Oh, is everything okay?" I strained my ears to see if I could hear anything on her side but all could hear was her breathing and another's that was a lot heavier and deeper.

"Yes, yes it's fine." She said quickly, I could almost imagine her waving me off with her hand.

"Are you sure?" I pressed, something was definitely wrong. A new nervous lump formed in my throat and the pit of my stomach. I swallowed harshly and ignored the wondering and confused stares of everyone around me as I focused on my mom's voice.

"Yes. What were you so excited about before?" She asked but from the tone of her voice she already knew why she had been called by Tori.

I remained silent for a brief moment trying to decipher why she sounded so weird. I listened to the two sets of breathing through the receiver and realised it must have been due to the other person there with her.

"I'm engaged!" I announced, trying to put the enthusiasm back into my voice. I smiled widely when my mother began squealing down the phone.

"Oh, honey, I'm so happy for you. I'm sorry we couldn't make it in time, Jacob said he had to bring the proposal forward because you were beginning to ask questions." Well I ruined my own chance at seeing my mom... at least she suddenly sounded brighter.

"I'm sorry I ruined your trip. But, I'm just so happy it feels like I can't breathe." I admitted, waving off the awes I got from those listening around me.

"Aww, darling. But don't worry its fine we'll visit soon." There's that we again. Who is this we?

"Sorry, Mom but who's we?" I couldn't help it, I didn't mean to sound guarded and slightly rude.

"Oh, well Scott and myself of course." Oh yeah, I forgot about him. I didn't think I liked him when she described him to us a few months ago. He just sounded a little demanding. "He's here let me hand the phone over." Mom said enthusiastically and I panicked. He must've been the other breather on her end.

"Oh no Mom—" I tried to protest but I wasn't fast enough.

"Hi Aria, you have no idea how excited your mother and I are for you." Scott's words seemed fake. Of course I knew how happy my mom was for me but he didn't sound believable at all. He didn't even know me.

"Hi Scott, thank you." My smile became a tight lipped one.

"I can't wait to meet you and your siblings when we visit." It may seem strange but even his voice didn't sound trustworthy... maybe meeting him would be a good chance to figure him out. I could just be imagining this weirdness.

"It'll be nice to meet you too. Erm, is my mom—" As I mentioned her name his breathing hitched and he cut me off.

"Well we have to go." He said quickly and a new jealous kind of rage began to bubble up in the pit of my stomach. Who did he think he was?

"At least let me say goodbye." My mom's quiet, pleading voice in the background set the rage inside me on fire.

"Goodbye Aria congratulations to you both." Scott spoke over her in an overconfident, controlling tone.

I held the same amount of fierceness in my voice. "No, let me speak—" the disconnecting click interrupted my demand "—to my mom." I brought the phone away from my ear and stared down at the screen with the beginning of a snarl etched across my face.

"What happened?" Jake asked as he placed his hand on my lower back.

"He wouldn't let me talk to her." I growled as I gave Tori back her phone.

"Who?" She asked, looking confusedly from me and back to the phone.

"Scott." I spat his name and her eyes narrowed cautiously.

"Why?" Jesse spoke through gritted teeth.

"I could hear him standing there with her, his deep, heavy breathing. Mom said she'd be visiting with him soon and then handed the phone over so he could speak to me. He didn't sound... right." I explained as I wrung my hands together nervously. Surely Mom knew what she was getting in to?

"What do you mean?" Jesse pressed, subconsciously taking a step closer towards me.

"Before he hung up, I could hear her pleading in the background to say goodbye. He just ignored her." My siblings and I exchanged an anxious glance as we thought about what to do next.

"Let's give him the benefit of the doubt. Mom will visit soon because of the engagement and to see our house, we can ask her then if anything is wrong." Jesse said practically, though I could sense his own unsureness.

I knew for a fact I already hated Scott. Who did he think he was to end a conversation between me and my own mother, a conversation discussing my engagement no less? When and if he arrived with my mother he'd have to watch himself.

"Fine." I seethed just as Tori muttered the words "I don't like this."

"Guys, we can discuss this further in the morning. Let us celebrate for now." Dad broke the tension with an easy smile. After all he was right, there was nothing we could do at this instance, we'd look into it tomorrow.

"He's right." Jacob whispered into my ear before pressing his lips against my temple. "Let's try and remember this night in a good way."

Of course he was right. I was only going to get one engagement party and I'd want to remember only the good and happy things from this night for the rest of eternity. I couldn't dwell on it — not tonight.

I turned my body into Jacob's and wrapped my arms around his neck. "I love you." I whispered as I stared into his beautiful dark eyes. His hands were firm on my hips as he leant down to press his sweet lips against mine. He clasped my bottom lip between his own as I melted into him, running my hands down from his neck and across his chest and along to hold his glorious biceps.

The tent erupted into cheers leading for Jake and I to pull apart, his face adorned with a cheeky smirk. Our eyes never left each other's as the next group of people swarmed towards us. "And I love you." He breathed lovingly as he caressed my cheek with his thumb. We only needed to save the good memories tonight.

"For the happy couple." Alice's fairy-light voice trilled from beside us. I turned to look at her and in her hands she had two glasses of champagne.

"Thank you." Jacob took his gladly and then downed the whole glass. I gawked at him in surprise. "What? I've had a nervous night."

"You've had a nervous night?" Jasper scoffed as he approached with his own glass in hand. Of course this was for show. "We had to ensure that Aria didn't go back home until the perfect moment."

My eyes widened further in even more surprise. "You were all in on it too?" I spluttered.

"Edward and I had the most difficult job." Bella spoke up as she weaved in and out of the other guests with Edward, the couple holding their own display champagne glasses as well. Nessie had one clutched in her own hands but handed it straight to Jake as soon as she reached us.

"Thank you." He whispered down to her with a wink.

"I had to look out for any revealing thought in the family." Edward began his explanation. "And then I had to shield that person without you noticing. It was quite straining."

"I bet it was!" I remarked as I left Jacob's side for a second to hug the five of them.

"Let me see it! Let me see it!" Rosalie sang as she ran over (human pace of course). She immediately grasped my hand in her own to admire my ring. "Wow! Jacob I am impressed." She complimented without even looking up.

"Well you helped me pick it so you should be." Jake laughed as I felt like my head was about to explode.

"Right. I'm never putting my shield down again!" I'm proclaimed as I swung round to lightly punch Jacob in the stomach. "You have gotten way too sneaky."

Esme, Carlisle and Emmett then proceeded to join our small group. "Congratulations to the both of you." Esme beamed as she brought Jake and I into a joint hug. "If I could cry I would be right now."

"Oh Esme." I chuckled as Carlisle hugged me and then Emmett did so as well. "Thank you for coming."

"We wouldn't miss it for the world, you're our youngest daughter and now you're all grown up." Carlisle's words were enough to bring a little tear to my eye. Finally everything felt right.

* * *

We were a little tipsy, I had to admit it takes a lot of alcohol to do that to someone like Jake and myself. In an attempt to carry on his romantic gestures he decided to bridal carry me up the stairs through my house and to my bedroom. It didn't go as gracefully as he hoped, my feet took out a shelf of books along the landing and they fell to the floor with a loud thump.

The giggles then began to escape me and I had to cover my mouth to try and muffle them. It's was pointless really, the falling books were sure to have woken people.

Jake stumbled into my bedroom and shut the door with his foot before graciously dropping me onto my bed. He got to work on undoing his shirt buttons almost immediately, an eager, sexy grin on his face. I rolled onto my front and propped my head up on my hands to watch the show. It was now time to celebrate the way I originally wanted to.

He shrugged the shirt off over his toned, tanned shoulders and dropped it to the floor. I sighed happily as I watched him walk towards me, my fiancé, my man, my imprint.

He leaned over my body and slipped both my heels off of my feet, then his hands travelled back up my body. They touched over the backs of my calves, and then my thighs and ass until he reached the zipper to my dress and pulled that down too.

I sat up and met him halfway for a deep kiss before we switched places and I was the one standing before him. I let my dress drop to the floor in a single swoop and stepped out of it so I was standing before Jake in nothing but my black lace panties. He sat on the edge of the bed, staring at me with complete adoration, enough to make me blush. The smile that lit up his face was extraordinary.

"Do you have any idea how much I love you? You're so perfect..." He stated as he stood to his feet again, his pants now sitting low on his hips with the button undone.

He ran his knuckles gently down my cheek and then took my chin between his thumb and forefinger and tilted my head up. Slowly, he pressed his lips to my own and ran his tongue over my lips.

My hands travelled upwards across his chest and danced over his collar bones and strong shoulders as I began to admire every inch of him. "You're beautiful Jake, do you know that? I don't tell you that enough." I whispered against his lips.

He held my face gently between his palms and placed a kiss against the tip of my nose. "Move in with me." He blurted out.

"There's no room at your dad's." As much as it pained me to say it I had to. Jacob's bedroom at his dad's house was way too small for the both of us.

"Please?" He asked, resting his forehead against my own.

"We can't, Jake." I replied honestly, I'd rather wait and have our own space. I could make up the small difference he needs to make, I could ask the Cullens for a loan?

"Soon?" He begged, trailing his lips down my neck.

"It depends on the money, Jake." I breathed, my nails digging into his chest as he reached that perfect spot.

He spun me around and pulled me back against him. "I nearly have it." He spoke against my neck and his breath sent a shiver down my spine. "Why do you think it took me so long to propose? I was saving for both."

"You were?" I asked breathlessly as he crouched to pull my panties down my legs, pausing to kiss one of my ass cheeks before standing to his full height again.

Jacob's POV

"Of course I was. I know what you want, Ari. I always do." I smirked against her skin as I dropped my pants and boxers to the floor to join the pile of already discarded clothes.

I could smell her arousal and it was driving me insane. I still couldn't believe that this woman was all mine, a woman soon to be my wife. After all that I had done I still didn't believe I deserved her, I was so lucky.

I moved her forward towards the bed and of course she knew what I was thinking. As soon as she was on her knees I pulled her ass back into me and pushed her top half forwards. "So fucking sexy." I growled, seeing her before me on her hands and knees.

Gently I ran my hands over her soft ass cheeks before placing my cock against her hole and slid into her tight wetness. A long, low moan escaped her as I groaned, "fuck Ari."

Her silky, dark hair was tempting me, I bunched up her hair and wrapped it around my wrist, grasping it at the nape of her neck and pulled back gently. "Jake." She said softly, backing herself up onto my cock to meet my every thrust.

Aria dropped down onto her elbows as I released her hair and placed my hands firmly on her perfect hips, pulling her back against me. I paused my movements to watch in amazement as I held myself deep within her, she rolled her hips back against me, causing me to let out a throaty groan.

"More, Jake, please." She begged as I placed my hands higher on her waist and slammed into her. She buried her face into the duvet to muffle her screams and moans brought on by her orgasm.

"Roll over, Blue." I groaned out as she did as I said whilst trying to catch her breath. I pulled out of her and watched as she laid on her back with her knees bent. I moved between her legs and she watched me with the cheekiest grin on her gorgeous face as I jacked myself off.

I watched her beautiful breasts rise and fall with her quick breaths and I reached my hand down to her clit and began to rub her fast. "Oh god, Jake." She moaned as she squirmed under my touch.

"I love watching you cum, baby." I groaned as I worked my fingers even faster against her. "Where do you want it, Blue?" I asked with my hand wrapped firmly around my cock. Her whimpers sounded her next orgasm, stopping her from answering as I continued to move my finger against her swollen clit. I grunted as I reached my own release and spilt it over her breasts. "Fuck." I moaned as she sat up and wrapped her warm mouth around my cock, cleaning both our releases off of it.

I pulled out of her mouth and crawled between her legs and placed my mouth against her throbbing clit and ran my tongue over it. "No, Jake, please." She cried with her eyes wide as she tried to push my head away. Seconds later I realised the cause of her screams. Her pussy pulsated against my lips and I pulled back to place my finger over her nub.

She grabbed a pillow and held it over her face to dull her screams as I watched in wondrous amazement as a thin stream of cum squirted from her pussy. "Oh my god!" I couldn't help my gasp, in the next instant I placed my tongue against her, trying to savour each drop of her.

Aria continued to squirm against me, the intense orgasm causing her to rip her decorative pillow in half, the outcome resulting in a flurry of feathers to fall down around us. "Holy shit Ari, you just came so hard." I acknowledged proudly as I climbed over her.

"No shit, Jake." She panted, her arm across her eyes. Her breathing was shaky but that might have been from the light chuckle that escaped her.

I groaned satisfactorily as I rubbed my hands along her body before lowering myself against her. She peeked out from below her arm and gave me the most beautiful and bright smile. "So..." I kissed the tip of her nose. "Damn..." Then kissed her soft, rosy cheek. "Beautiful." Her lips were the last place I kissed, leaving a long lingering kiss for her to savour. I was rewarded with another perfect smile.

"That was insane, Jake." She laughed in disbelief before pecking my lips again. She wrapped her arms around my neck and pulled me closer before laughing.

"What's so funny?" I asked curiously, narrowing my eyes at her uncontrollable giggling.

"You're covered in your own cum and feathers!" She exclaimed, her beautiful smile now a cheeky grin.

I leapt off of her, disturbing the settled feathers whilst trying not to gag at the feeling of the stickiness coming apart as our bodies pulled away from one another. "For fucks sake." I groaned, staring down at the mess that was now stuck to my chest. "I got too wrapped up in you." I admitted with a slight frown.

"Well, I see nothing wrong with that." She taunted, still looking completely sexy despite being covered in feathers and cum.

"Hmm, I guess you're right there." I confessed as I pulled her up into my arms, her legs wrapped tightly around my waist. "Let's go get showered, future wife."

"Okay, future husband." She beamed up at me, and my heart swelled with the immediate excitement that this would be what our life would be like together for all eternity. Just me and my wife. Forever and always.
