Booty Call

* Embry's surname is Call - so it is a pun (unbelievably no one has thought of it before as a title - what is wrong with these people?)

Set after Breaking Dawn, Jake's pack is left with Leah, Embry and Seth not imprinted. Quil has Claire and Jake has Renesmee. Sam is still the Alpha of the other pack and has all the newbie wolves.

Disclaimer: the characters and all recognisable situations belong to Stephenie Meyer - this is a work of fan fiction, except for the legends and histories of the Quileute and the Makah that, of course, belong to them. I pay my respects to their gods.

Thanks to BanSidhe for betaing. And thanks to Sabbylou42. She and I were having a discussion one day and she said something that struck me as something Leah would say. The rest is, as they say, mine…

Chapter 1 Elements

Leah Clearwater liked the new Black pack. It was small; had no annoying new young (and all male) wolves to irritate her. It used to be just Jake and Seth but now Embry and Quil had joined. It suited her just fine. She was still Jake's beta. She appreciated that he had probably not been able to choose between his two best friends; leaving her in the job was an easy solution, but she took it as a compliment in any case.

And she couldn't hear or see Sam's mind. It was all good. Jake and Quil were kept busy with their imprints. Seth played with the vamps and that usually left just her and Embry to socialise. That was okay too. She had never had a problem talking with Embry.

Leah took another mouthful of beer. "Human guys just aren't doing it for me… it's all right for you… you can explain your crazy body temp to a girl. But what do I say? They feel like their dick is on fire and not in a good way. I can't tell you how many times I have got so wound up to be left … right at that point or they get in and get out as fast as they can. It's humiliating!"

Embry laughed. "No I agree. I know what you mean… human girls can't take it as hard as I want to give it to them; especially if I am having a good time and I lose control. I grab them too hard or slam into them a bit roughly."

Leah almost winced when he said that. She hadn't actually thought about that. She had a little more respect for their human imprints. Even if the men were hard wired not to hurt them; it happened sometimes. Just look at Emily's face to confirm that.

Embry continued, "They bruise… they complain… they say ouch a lot. They say it's too big. They pick up their shoes and run when they see my erection OR they say it was the best night of their lives. 'They've never come that hard before blah blah'." He took another sip of beer. "But when I ask to meet them on another night they are busy. It's like I was the one time sex toy night. And it was fun, but they have ticked that box… you know?"

"So you're big?" Leah asked. God knows why she picked that part of his litany to comment on.

"Wha… yeah I suppose I must be."

"You don't look it"

He blinked. "Excuse me?"

"I've seen you naked about a thousand times Embry."

"Gee thanks Leah. That makes me feel sooo much better…"

"Well… some guys are growers not showers… you know…"

"No I don't know."

"You haven't heard of that saying? There was one guy…" she was not sure why she was telling him this. "I mean he looked okay size wise but then he didn't expand at all; it just stood up. Didn't get a single half inch bigger… I mean not a freaking bit! It was kind of disappointing…"

"Whoa… too much information Leah! No, I meant I don't check guys out with erections..."

"Porn… Embry," she interrupted him, "You telling me you don't watch porn with the others?"

"No."

She gave him a look.

"It's not natural," he explained. "And you can't tell me any of those guys have normal dicks."

"Natural? Its porn."

"Come on… half the stuff the girls do looks like it would hurt and hardly be fun at all. And the flailing around when they come… they look like epileptics. That is not real." He pointed his beer bottle at her for emphasis.

"Yeah if a guy ever pulls out and jizzes on my face… Gawd, please do not send a man like that to me, 'cause I'll have to slap the shit out of his stupid ass."

Embry is laughing so hard, he almost chokes.

"Yeah! So I don't watch porn with the guys. Get enough wolf porn in the head…" Embry paused, "Well at least I used to. Now I've joined the sexless pack."

Leah snorted. "Ha ha, don't let Paul hear you call it that. We would never hear the end of it. 'Jake's sex free pack'."

"The sexless six," he suggested.

"No there are five of us."

"Okay, 'The abstinent five' then."

"No shouldn't it start with the same letter. What do they call that?"

"Alliteration?"

"Fuck, don't tell me you learnt something at school Embry."

"The passionless pack," he ignored her jibe. "Well, Jake and Quil have imprinted on babies. Quil has longer to wait on that one admittedly because Nessie grows at that freaky rate. And no one else has imprinted."

"Seth is happy talking to girls but doesn't seem to do anything else," his sister pointed out.

"And then there is you and me."

There was silence for a minute or two.

Something in the atmosphere of the room changed.

They looked at each other. They really looked at each other.

Embry's mouth twitched up a little at the edge; a tiny smile. "What are you thinking Leah?"

"Nothing…" she hastened to say.

"Really? …Pity."

"Pity?"

"Yeah."

"Why? What were you thinking Embry?" She had to ask; she was an idiot.

He stared at her again. "Will you slap the shit out of my stupid ass if I say it?"

"Say what?"

"We should… you know."

"You know what?"

"Yeah."

"No, what?"

"Jeez Leah do you want me to spell it out?"

"Christ Embry, you think we should…" She didn't spell it out.

"Why not?"

"Why not! I have about a thousand reasons why not?"

"Yeah? Name ten."

"Ten?"

"Name five, then."

Silence.

"It's complicated," she blustered.

"Complicated… that's one. How is it complicated? Neither one of us has a partner or an imprint. We are not cheating on anybody and nor are we upsetting anybody else."

"But we are both wolves."

"Exactly! Surely we just discussed that. That is in the 'for' column on my list. Probably should be on your list too Leah. Imagine…"

Silence.

"So that was one… two if you count the wolf thing… any more?" he asked.

"Jeez Embry, give it up! That kind of friends with benefits thing only ever works in the movies and this is real life."

"Okay," he agreed. He shrugged and looked like he had let it go, but he gave her the once over. It was a serious eye fuck. She managed to keep her bodily reactions under control; her heart rate even; her breathing unchanged, but he made her think about it.

She caught herself thinking about it on and off over the next month.
