This story begins by re-imagining a favorite scene from Eclipse, in which Edward and Bella are stuck in a blizzard and must call on Jacob to keep Bella warm.  The original scene hints at Bella's curiosity, Edward's awareness, and Jacob's lust, and the possibilities that lie within that love triangle.  This version asks, what if Bella took what she wanted? What if Edward's long-dormant humanity were finally sparked? And what if Jacob's fantasy finally came true?

"Anything I had ever felt, allowed myself to feel, had been only a hint, a taste, a glimmer of that all-consuming heat.  That heat that Bella had plunged me headlong into, mercilessly immersing me in Jacob’s subconscious, ruthlessly repaying me for her months of frustration.  Teaching me desire in one cold, confusing night."

happy to see my local Blockbuster advertising my fic for me:
