Through the Monsoon

Through the Monsoon

The fire crackled in the heart- the rain thundered against the window and the wind howled outside. Jake sighed as his eyes drifted from the window to the fire- he could hear Draco in the kitchen making tea for them both. He could also hear Draco's heartbeat which recently he tended to hone in on. Jake liked to know that Draco was there even if he could hear and smell the blond- there was nothing more reassuring than a heart beat. Jake thought it would the most beautiful sound he had ever heard.

The shrill noise from the kettle made Jacob sit up properly in his chair and look at the door and a few moments later Draco walked through with the tea tray. With a small chink from the china Draco placed the tray on the table and proceeded to pour two cups of tea. Sometimes Jacob didn't understand why Draco didn't pour the tea straight from the kettle and just bring the cups though Jacob did admit it was nice to not have to move when you were just nice and warm from the fire for another cup.

Draco picked up the cup with an elegant hand and handed it over to his Mate before grabbing his own cup and settling down in his usual chair. Jacob could easily see Draco living in a huge Manor with the title of Lord. Draco was regal in his every move despite lingering sorrow.

After a few moments with nothing more than the fire making noise and the chink of china Draco placed his cup down on the table and looked at Jake with serious eyes.

"I think you should contact your pack," Draco said.

"What about the interference?" Jacob asked as he placed his cup down next to Draco's.

"My magic can overcome that. Though they will not be able to see your memories of here you can talk with them," Draco explained.

"Okay," Jacob agreed and Draco stood from his chair in some flowing movement and moved to sit down next to Jake on the sofa. Draco then placed his wand on Jake's temple before muttering a string of Latin and closing his eyes.

Jake closed his eyes too as his felt a warm spread through him and the overwhelming and intoxicating smell that was Draco settle over him. As he opened his eyes he realised he wasn't at Casway Cove anymore but on the La Push beach with his pack standing around him.

"Jacob?" Sam's deep and rumbling voice sounded in a strange echo around them and the Alpha looked at Jake with concerned eyes.

"Hello, Sam," Jake replied with his mind.

"Where are you?" Quil asked looking around the landscape which showed the beach on a sunny day.

"Safe," Jacob answered not wanting them to know about his intended at the moment.

"Why haven't we been able to contact you?" Sam questioned.

"I can't explain that to you. I need to know when Bella's wedding is," Jacob asked looking at them.

"Bella and Cullen are marrying in one week," Embry answered looking at him.

Jake gave a sigh and wondered how he could leave Draco so suddenly. They needed more time. Jacob looked at the pack with a smile.

"Tell Bella I'll be there for her wedding," Jacob told them and as the landscape darkened as the sun fell over the horizon Jake opened his eyes to the grey and bleak landscape of Casway Cove which lie outside the window.

Looking to his side he saw Draco putting his wand away and looking at him with a questioning gaze.

"The wedding is in one week, I will have to leave tomorrow night to get there in time," Jacob told Draco who nodded silently before getting up and walking from the room.

Running through the monsoon
Beyond the world 'til the end of time
Where the rain won't hurt
Fighting the storm into the blue

Jake knew that he would have to leave tomorrow if he wanted to make it in time for the wedding but he also knew that they had both expected more time together and Draco would not leave Casway Cove yet. He would be returning to Forks alone and he gathered that Draco didn't think he would return to Casway Cove after the wedding. With a sigh Jacob knocked on the bedroom door.

"Come in," Draco's voice sounded from inside and Jake pushed open the door and went into the bedroom.

The room was a pale green but the furniture was a dark brown which were antiques Jacob knew. He didn't know how the Malfoy family came to have the house but he could see evidence of Draco's wealth in every room. The whole house was full of beautiful furniture which Jacob secretly thought could have easily looked at home in a royal palace since every item was beautifully ornate and grand. Draco had truly turned this lonely home into a luxurious sanctuary. Draco's taste for fine things wouldn't allow for any less.

Jacob looked at the blond who was sat at the desk in the room, leaning back in the comfortable chair and unfocused eyes looking out onto the stormy horizon.

"I will be coming back, Draco," Jacob said getting right to the point.

"I know you care for me, we are Soul Mates after all," Draco whispered his eyes still fixed outside the window, "but you have responsibilities out there that I don't have. The world still turns without me being out there- your pack though needs you."

Jacob sighed and walked forward and grabbed Draco and pulled him firmly but gently from the chair. Placing Draco in front of him he took the smaller man's face in his large warm and hands and looked into those eyes that he loved dearly.

"I would never be able to leave you for long," Jacob whispered, "my heart is with you- you are my home."

Jake leaned down and kissed the soft lips while moving his hands to the small waist as Draco's hands rested on his biceps. Gently he coaxed and teased Draco's lips trying to put across everything he felt for the blond in that one kiss.

Draco's gave a moan from the back of his throat and opened his mouth allowing Jake to caress his tongue as he felt Jake's thumb push the bottom of his top up exposing his hips. Jake hummed happily into the kiss and his fingers rubbed gently over Draco's soft skin.

Draco pulled back from the kiss and took in a breath before diving straight back for those warm lips and attempting to take control of the kiss. Jacob gripped Draco tightly to him and slowly moved from the lips to the pale jaw and kissed gently along there to the heated skin of Draco's neck.

Draco gave a moan as his hands grasped Jacob's broad shoulders and he titled his head back to allow the shifter more access. Jacob slowly manoeuvred Draco back and as his knees hit the bed they both tumbled down into the soft cushions and pillows Draco had on the king-size bed.

Clothes were quickly shed and curious hands travelled over smooth skin as the lovers explored each other for the first time. Heated kisses and hushed words were whispered between the two. They writhed together in the sheets of the bed as they raced towards their climax and clung to one another as they gave themselves to each other in the most intimate way.

With a cry Draco climaxed and a moment later Jacob followed spilling his seed inside the blond. Draco's magic rushed forth from the wizard and wrapped Jacob in an almost warm caress before settling into the blond once more as they collapsed exhausted onto the bed and gently wrapped their arms around each other.

"I will come back, Draco," Jacob whispered.

"I know," Draco replied as his eyes drifted shut.

And for a brief moment the sun broke though the clouds and shone over Casway Cove.

And when I lose myself I think of you
Together we'll be running somewhere new
And nothing can hold me back from you
Through the monsoon
