πππππππππ πππ ππππ ππππππ ππππ ππ'π πππππ, Jacob figured he could have a more in depth conversation with his girlfriend later on about what'd she done out on their date, but there was no reason to have that conversation in front of the others.
Once again it having no sign of forced blaming in his mind or eyes, he could only reach down and softly grab the muffin that was in Catherine's lap and taking a soft bite out of it as he pulled her closer.
Laying a soft kiss to the top of her head, not wanting her to have any guilty thoughts towards what they'd done despite his want to bring it up later on after he'd taken her home tonight.
Where'd no doubt stay over and test the strength of the acoustic noise control the room had.
"Figured it'd happen eventually," The teen softly compromised as he readjusted in his seat, taking a moment to softly catch Catherine's gaze before he finished. "you should hear what they think about you when we're on patrol?"
At his question and confession, Catherine couldn't help but taking a glance at the others standing around them, curious as to what they had been speaking about when she wasn't there.
That being said her questioning glance around, Paul couldn't help but catch her eyes almost immediately understanding the look she was giving them as who wouldn't be curious with Jacob's open question.
"Nothing bad," Paul answered her unspoken question, a smirk on his face as he tipped his head at a remembrance to the thoughts, they all had and could hear about their imprint. "more so, explicit."
The thoughts of which having been reciprocated by everyone but Embry, who before now had to silently put up with them unable to see Catherine in that way given, they weren't imprinter and imprintee yet.
More specifically the mention of those thoughts and their explicit nature, the admitting of which causing a soft blush to come over Catherine's face, before she glanced back at her lap.
No longer having her muffin to play with, since it had momentarily been stolen and currently chewed upon by Jacob, who'd previously often eaten her food before now.
"So, who's next," Embry spoke up from his seat on the recliner, attempting to hide his enthusiasm at the thought of getting a date with their imprint, despite having to go last for it.Β "for the dates, I mean."
The teen more so trying to ask, when the next date would be rather than who, but he didn't want to seem overzealous given this was his first time really feeling this way for any kind of event that pertained a girl, let alone his imprint, whom he know wanted nothing more than to impress.
That being said as he nervously picked at the muffin in his hands, it still being whole as he hadn't managed to take a bite out of it as he had been mentally planning his and Catherine's date.
Although he now needed to ask the others what they would be doing for there's since he didn't want to seem unoriginal.
"Me," Paul almost immediately answered with a bright smile on his face, living for every chance he could use to make it known that he not only was next, but also, that he was: "the first imprinter, of course."
As he spoke, the older teen softly leaned back in his seat, turning his eyes to Catherine as he softly licked his lips, before pulling his bottom lip down between his teeth.
Silently fantasizing about how happy he was planning on making her for their date, his eye contact easily maintained with Catherine, not particularly carrying for the rest of his fellow pack members that were in the room.
Catherine unable to fight off the small smile that came over her face, especially as she glanced down at her twiddling fingers, once again unable to pay attention to the muffin that had been there at one point.
That being said as she glanced down the thought of her upcoming heat inevitably ran over the forefront of her mind, the young shifter knowing she had to tell all of them at one point about it.
Since at the moment only Jacob and Sam had any knowledge about the lewd events that were more than likely going to take place.
"Uhm, I should mention that my heat is coming up soon." She softly squeaked out as she looked up again, running her eyes from left to right over the group of werewolf shifters.
Starting at Sam, on her left, and taking it all the way around to Jacob, who was on her right, calmly making eye contact with all of them despite the bright blush on her face given the elicit things she was about to mention.
Although hearing her words, three out of five of the shifters around her couldn't help but look confused, Jared shifting over to the left and turning a bit to look at her from over his right shoulder.
Embry's eyebrows creasing together as he sat up a bit further in his seat, his nose scrunching softly through his confusion, and Paul on the other hand only tilting his head with lowered eyeb
"Heat?" Embry asked openly confused before taking a glance around the room, needing to verify whether he was the only one confused or was this a new topic with everyone.
That being said he quickly found that at the very least Paul was confused as well, Jared having turned his back toward him, whilst Jacob and Sam only furthered positioned themselves to be looking toward Catherine.
Both seemingly becoming more concerned by the words she'd just spoken, the two of them being the only ones that actually knew what the youngest in the room was talking about.
"What's that, Bun-Bun?" Jared asked curiously as he looked up at her from the floor, the teen's head tilting in the same manner as Paul's had as interest built up in head.
However looking down at him, Catherine had went glanced at the ground again trying to see just how she would explain it to all of them without dying after all the blood in her body rushed to her cheeks from blushing.
Yet before she could, Jacob asked something else instead giving he knew just how bad she could get during her heats since the two spent a while talking after she'd told him about her shifting.
"How soon?" He asked softly as he looked over her frame, lightly sitting the now half eaten muffin back on the table beside the couch before he lightly pushed the coiled hair from her forehead to behind her ear.
Causing her to look over and up at him, the minuscule amount of shyness leaving her body as she looked at him, having already partaken in an intense amount of love making with him taking more than a bit of her bashfulness away.
Nevertheless if she really was to reminiscence over the details of what'd happened between her and Jacob over a multitude of times, she wouldn't have been able to honestly look him in the eyes since she was always a better flirt when she didn't have to face the repercussions of her actions.
"I don't know exactly," She spoke with a dip of her head given her heat wasn't like the menstruation cycle of normal human women, it not have a specific date only always coming around right before spring. "but probably in the next few days or a week or two, it's usually right before spring but it was a little late last year."
"How late?" Sam asked from her other side quickly bringing her attention over to him rather than Jake, Catherine swiveling her head over toward him as her ears lifting as she remember how an when she'd told Sam about her heat.
The situation being nothing like the one with her and Jacob, instead being even more sexual and explicit especially given they'd done it in what would soon be her new home, whilst two complete outsiders wondered around.
Nonetheless, before Catherine could honestly answer his question, Embry's voice spoke up from the recliner speaking out on the very thought Jared and Paul where having.
"I still don't know what it is." He spoke with a softly raising of his right hand before he dropped it back down onto the arm of the recliner not frustrated, but obviously confused and a bit left out.
Although instead of Catherine answering, Jacob took it upon his self to answered the previous posed questions by Jared and Embry, needing to gather information himself rather than having Catherine reiterate her entire heat back to the others.
"It's the only time period where she can get pregnant."Β He answered clearly with a tip of his head whilst raising one of his eyebrows, silently asking if there was any other questions needing to be answered.
However he didn't really have any intention for any other question to be answered other than the ones he deemed helpful at the moment, yet before he could even turn back to Catherine someone else spoke.
"She's also, for lack of a better word, a lot more lustful," Sam stated a clear cut and amused smile on his face as he'd laid his hand on her left thigh, lightly running his hand over her plump leg before throwing her a soft glance. "or so I've been told."
Clearly hinting to just how he'd found out about her heat, minutes before he was shown just how lustful Catherine could get when she was in the right settings, or wrong as it didn't seem to matter as long as they had privacy.
Something Sam hadn't expected to come from the usually shy short woman, but obviously looks could be misleading.
"Do you have everything you need?" Jacob asked this time taking Catherine's attention away from Sam, his words more so worried for her state as he knew she became more goal oriented during her heats.
Her only goal being to hopefully get pregnant by whomever she decided was best at the time.
"Sort of," Catherine answered as she once again began twiddling with her fingers, however her line of sight was on the floor as she broke into a full blown explanation, the proceedings of her heat having been weighing on her conscious recently. "I was gonna book a hotel room so I wouldn't bother Charlie, but with the new house expenses-"
At the recollection of her soon to be home, Catherine paused her words before turning back toward Sam, offering him a large smile as she started speaking again.
Knowing a large part of how she could afford such a spacious knew home, especially on the Rez was due to Sam and his amazing ability to negotiate plus the fact that non-natives don't usually get to live within Reservation lands.
That simple clause also having been fixed by Sam, or rather will be fixed with a bit more permanent paperwork which is to soon be handled by Sam, Michelle, Catherine, and Jacob's Dad.
The last of which being the current leader of the Quileute Tribe, but being their imprint there was little to no way she'd be able to live off of the reservation anyways.
"Thank you again, Sam, for getting me that discount," She spoke sincerely for the umpteenth time causing the smirk on Sam's face to broaden into a smile, the man never being one to shy away from a little praise. "I don't know if I'll be able to afford one on the higher end of the city without my parents help, so I'll probably have to get a job."
"You're slipping off topic, Bunny." Jacob couldn't help but speak up as he realized she was starting to ramble off, although despite his words a small smile still bloomed on his face.
The teen having always been able to notice when Catherine would stay to ramble or trail on and on, which he honestly thought was entirely too adorable, yet that didn't stop Catherine from asking him to try and keep her on track.
Although this conversation did happen long before the two ever engaged in sexual activities, Jacob still made a habit of keeping her on whatever she was talking about in the moment.
"Since, I don't know when it'll come," Catherine started up again after giving Jacob a wide grin after she realized she had begun to ramble thanks to his words, causing her to go back to what she'd originally been talking about. "I just bought a lot of snacks and water, cause I figured I'd be able to get a place when it's closer to spring."
"If you need a place, doe-" Paul started from the other chair, willing to solve whatever problem Catherine needed at a moment's notice, but before he could openly finished Embry spoke over him instead.
"Don't even go there," He started once again happy to burst Paul's bubble, the shortest of the quileute shifters often having a fun time tempting that short fuse in Paul's head to see how fast he could get him to go off. "you live with your mom, most of us do."
Although this time before instead of openly glaring or barking angry curses at Embry, Paul's face only went deadpanned as he turned back toward him, trying his best to not look like some rabid animal in front of their imprint.
"Can I finish?" He asked calmly yet clearly annoyed by Embry's words, however he did wait until Embry rose both hands and sat back in his chair, obviously leaning back in order to let Paul have the floor without interruption.
"I was gonna say she could stay in the pack house," Paul spoke with a soft resolution, knowing that no one stayed at the pack house other than one of them whenever they were to tired to go home. "on pack land, so we can protect you."
Not even Sam still really stayed in the pack house, the house having been left to him and Emily, although quickly being abandoned by both after he'd ended up accidentally creating the harsh marks on her face outside of the very home.
The infamous incident being the effect of Sam completely blowing off Leah after he'd shifted and learned that she wasn't his imprint, the news of which quickly ended up in the ear of Emily's mother, Sam's aunt; who sent her to speak to him since the two of them were the closest growing up.
Although with the way Emily had pestered her older cousin outside of the house left to them by Sam's father and her uncle, only caused a teenage Sam to spontaneously shift unable to handle all the emotions flowing over him in the moment with Emily just being a little to close.
That being said afterwards Emily had only gained the knowledge of shifters and a rather four twisted looking claw marks over nearly the entire right side of her face, which she only had the ability to grow to love as it was permanently etched on the side of her face.
And to the rest of the world's eyes, only came from a horrible run in with a large black bear, which Sam then had to hunt down to cover the tracks and not have the woods packed with those trying to hunt the non-existent bear down.
