Hey, sorry this took so long folks. I wasn’t sure how I wanted this story to go from this point on. I’m a fan of pure smut as much as the next person, but I really wanted this to be a story you could keep reading and not just get your sex-fix with. But, I digress. We’ll get to that so please keep reviewing, and thank you for all the alerts. Yay!

Beneath the moonlight
Chapter 3 - Shimmer
The blank landscape of southern California continued to whiz by, keeping all of Jacob’s attention as he tried to keep his mind quiet. The car never slowed, merely keeping the same pace as it had for the past couple hundred miles since they had started this journey.
Suddenly they hit an exit ramp at break-neck speed, flying all too fast at a line of cars at the stoplight.
“Edward..? Edward?! “ Jacob’s eyes became saucers as they failed to slow down. He braced for impact when suddenly the Volvo flew into the parking lot of a lone building right before the intersection. Jacob looked up over the dashboard.
“And, where are we?”
“A store I haven’t been to in about ten years, I just wanted to see if it was still here.” Edward jumped out of the car, shutting the door and leaving a very confused Jacob to blink to himself.
Well, he could’ve told me before he scared me half to death. I mean, I would’ve survived, but damn, it wouldn’t have been fun.
Edward smiled as he walked through the door into the hazy shop, the wolf shaking off his fear and getting out the car too.
The little shop was nice and cozy, little strings of beads hanging here and there. It smelled faintly of patchouli and another smell he couldn’t quite recognize. Edward seemed at ease by the smell, sighing softly. Jake was too busy trying to figure out the mysterious scent to notice they were not alone.
“You don’t seem to have changed over the years. Not that I expected you to.”
Amber eyes darted towards the source of the voice, his face softening, a smile breaking out across it.
“Ah, Blaire, you look wonderful. It’s good to see you again.” He moved much more quickly than he should have across the room, literally picking the woman up in great hug. “I’m so glad you hadn’t closed. I was worried.”
“Edward, it is lovely to see you again, truly, but please put me down.” He chuckled and set her down, still smiling largely.
“And, who’s this?” Blaire gestured towards the almost forgotten teenager in her store, poking around in the incense. Jacob looked up at the mention of himself, blinking in a very confused manner. It’s kinda cute when he looks like that, like a bewildered dog. Edward smiled to himself, pulling the little woman over to his over-sized companion.
“How terribly rude of me. This is Jacob. Jacob, this is Blaire. A long time friend of our family.”
Jacob reached out to shake her hand. “It’s nice to meet you.”
She waved his hand off and pulled the surprised boy into a very low hug. He blushed bright red, trying to wiggle free of her grasp without actually hurting her. “Really-really. This isn’t necessary…”
“Oh, nonsense! If you’re a friend of Edward’s, then you get a hug!” She finally released him and looked back to the pale one of the pair. “So, what can I do for you today? I’ve got a few more interesting scents if that’s what you’re looking for.”
He nodded. “Yes, I was wondering if you were still in that kind of business. What have you got?”
She tugged Edward over to a small out-of-the-way shelf next to her back room door. Jacob followed, curious as to what they were talking about. On the shelf were a little selection of small candles, each a different shade of red. This seemed to be where that weird odor was coming from. He picked up one.
“Sweet Magnolia? I thought magnolias were white.” He opened the jar and sniffed it. It didn’t really smell like a flower. It smelled almost like…”- Blood. It’s blood.”
“That you’re right about. They’re called blood candles. And they’re my specialty. I usually do online orders though, since not many vampires choose to live in sunny California. But, every once in a while they do come through, so I keep a few.”
He couldn’t get his head around the fact that the candle was made of blood. He gawked at it for a few seconds, then set it down with a sour look on his face. “It’s still blood. Why?”
Blaire smiled softly, picking up the jar he had just put down, handing it to Edward to smell. “The reason is a lot of Vampire’s like to have the smell of particularly sweet smelling blood in their house. I mix the scent with essential oils like citrus or even magnolias and make what is fast becoming a trend in Vampire households. That’s how I met Edward here.”
“Yes, I could smell the store from the freeway. So I came to investigate. Much to my surprise there was this little human woman who could smell different types of blood. And made the oddest candles. Ooo, you have Midnight Blush. That one is nice. Is it the same girl?”
She laughed loudly, taking the jar from Edward and moving back towards the cash-out counter.
“What’s so funny?” Now Jacob was really curious. Like there was a big joke going around and he was left out of the loop. As usual.
“Nothing really, except I make this scent with my own blood. It’s funny really.”
Edward laughed as well. “Must be why it makes me giggle.”
Jacob blinked. “You giggle?”
“Not all the time, but occasionally. Why?”
“No reason.”
Blaire coughed, successfully ending the conversation. Something of which, Edward was thankful. Geez, did I have to say ‘giggle’? I mean that just makes things so much worse when I give him reasons to think I’m weird.
He sighed, and paid for the candle. As the little shop keeper handed over the change, Jacob wandered off to look at some of the novelties the store carried. He came to one in particular that caught his attention. It was a little snow globe. Not just any snow globe either. It had sand instead of snow, and there was a large dark brown wolf inside. His eyes reflected the large wolf, almost as if it’s own eyes had captured his. Just then another face was cast into the globe. He turned sharply to see the vampire standing behind him.
“You should get it. It looks like you.”
“Nah, I wouldn’t know where to put it. Maybe on the way back, if this all works out.”
Edward shrugged, moving towards the door. Jacob followed him out, watching him with a weary looked as he waved cheerfully to Blaire and got in the car. I wonder if we’ll ever be back this way again? Maybe with Bella. Maybe not. I wish we could just find her and go back to everything being normal again. Even though he knew the other could read his thoughts, he didn’t particularly care at this point. He was just waiting for someone to jump out and yell “Gotcha!” And the backdrop would fade back to his familiar woods in La Push. Everything would be back to the way it was, Edward vs. Jacob for Bella’s heart. Those days seemed like just a distant memory, and he had a feeling they would never come back.
**********************
Back on the road, the silence once again fell over the vehicle, Jacob going back to staring out the window while Edward kept a faithful eye on the road ahead of him. At some point on their journey they had stopped at fast food place, and the bag filled with burger wrappers lay sitting behind Jacob’s seat, leaving the smell of the charred meat in the air. Edward sniffled awkwardly, rubbing his eyes a bit and clearing his throat.
“Something wrong?” Jacob asked with mild curiosity.
“No, it’s nothing.”
Even trying to sound calm, the large teen could sense the edge in the other’s voice. Edward was ‘hungry’ as well.
“Maybe we should stop somewhere for the night so you can go hunt.” The evening was fast becoming darker as they spend along the empty highway.
“I don’t need to.”
“Yeah, come on. I want to sleep in a real bed anyway. Plus you need to be at full strength for whatever comes our way In Phoenix. Let’s just pull into a motel. Look, there’s one at the next exit.”
Sighing in defeat, the vampire swung off onto the exit ramp, coming to a stop in the parking lot of a little motel. At least it looked clean. Jacob hopped out of the silver car, beating the other to the office. Edward followed him in, looking around thoughtfully before coming up to the desk and pulling out his credit card.
“We need one room please. Double.”
The cashier hardly looked up as she swiped the card and handed him a room key. Jacob grabbed it from his hands and literally bounced away to find the room. Finally, a hot shower and a bed! I may be a wolf, but damn a guy needs to be civilized and comfortable once in a while.
Edward followed without a word, closing the door behind him once they had entered the room.
“I’ll only be gone a little while. But I’ll take the room key just in case you fall asleep.”
“Whatever dude. I just want to shower. Have fun.” He waved slightly as he stripped on the way to the bathroom, barely noticing the door open and close. Shoooower!
*******************
A couple of hours passed, and Jacob laid on one of the beds watching TV in a pair of shorts, his long black hair dangling around his shoulders, still slightly damp from the shower. He sighed changing the channel. Where the hell is that idiot? Did he decide to have a funeral for the animals he killed? Geez. Okay maybe I shouldn’t be joking like that, but really now. He’s taking a long time. Wait, since when did I have an inner monologue? I should really stop this. STOP!
He managed to scare himself out of his inner thoughts long enough to get up off the bed. Shaking his head, he made his way over to the door, opening it to the clear crisp night. It was fragrant tonight, the desert smells strong and intoxicating. The moonlight poured down onto the bare earth, unhindered due to the fact that there were no trees for miles really.
It was then he noticed the sparkle in front of him, like a crystal object catching every ray of the moon. The lone wolf couldn’t seem to take his eyes off the object, as it drew him to it. Jacob stepped away from the motel room, walking across the empty parking lot, closing in on the glittering thing. A light wind blew his black tresses around his face, the thing becoming clear now.
It was Edward.
Edward was glowing. It’s….beautiful.
Jacob just couldn’t get his mind around it. Here was the vampire he knew he was supposed to hate, was not supposed to see like this.
Edward was sitting cross-legged on the ground, looking up at the moon, his shirt open and blowing in the light breeze, The moon caught his porcelain skin at every angle, causing it to shimmer. It wasn’t the same shimmer he had seem the boy give off in the day-time, no, this was more of a mystifying glow. He couldn’t stop looking, couldn’t stop moving closer.
It wasn’t until he was on his knees, his hand stretched out, that he realized what he was doing. By then, it was too late. His fingertips ghosted over the vampire’s bit of exposed collarbone, tracing it up towards his neck. Oh shit, he’s gonna turn around and kill me. I know it.
But, instead of getting a fist to the face, or any kind of retaliation, the vampire merely leaned into his touch, a low purr radiating from deep within his throat. Jacob wasn’t entirely sure what was going on, but he continued to let his fingers run along the other’s neck, the cold skin un-yielding beneath his burning hot touch. Just as suddenly as it all started though, it was over and Jacob was running back to the motel at full speed, leaving Edward sitting stunned underneath the desert moon.
