I
grab my broom and do some more sweeping. I see Jackson, Kelly, and Earl headed
this way. I wave at them and put the broom back against the house. I go down
to meet them.
“Dad has a thing
for Shirley.” I tell Kelly who blushes then I see it. Earl’s mark. “Oh
Kelly! Already?” I hear a chuckle behind me. “Did we interrupt?” Kelly
shakes her head.
“Yes you did, but
it is okay. I wanted to spend the evening with my new mate but I want to meet
her father too. Since he’s here and we have the rest of our lives we will put
our evening on hold for a few hours.” Earl says. Jackson is not happy about
this. I think he is uncomfortable with interrupting them.
“Earl and I are
mated and that’s all that matters.” Kelly said. “Daddy can’t make me leave.
I knew that he would show up here and try to take me back so I hurried Earl.
He wanted to have this whole romantic evening but I wanted to stay more.”
“Oh Kelly. That
sucks. That’s twice your mating has been subpar.” I feel bad. I knew when
Dad said that he wanted to see her that they may be…busy but I didn’t say
anything.”
“It wasn’t subpar,
it was beautiful.” She glanced back at Earl and flushed again. “Daddy can see
that I am mated to a strong and wonderful wolf. He can go home and leave me to
live my life.” I nod. If she is happy then I am happy.
Chapter 9
“I feel so bad
about interrupting Kelly.” Jackson said as he pulled his clothes off when we
returned to the house after a great dinner. Everyone was happy and had a good
time, even my dad with his two freshly mated, without permission, daughters.
“They’re okay with
it Jackson. Earl wanted to meet dad and Kel wanted to show dad that she’s
good. It worked out. I think Dad will be coming back often too.” One of his
eyebrows rose. “He’s sweet on Shirley.”
“No shit?” I
shook my head and put our dirty clothes in the laundry basket I found earlier.
“Good. He needs a woman to keep him sane and content.” I made a face. “You
brought it up.” He laughed. “Now come here.” I go to him and let him wrap me
in his arms.
“Jackson?” He
made a humming sound. “I don’t want to with Dad in the house. Is that okay?”
He gave me a squeeze and nodded but he still held onto me. “What do you think
he thought of Earl?”
“I think your Dad
likes him just fine. Earl did a good job of convincing him that he would take
care of Kelly and I think that he liked seeing her happy. It doesn’t really
matter now because they have mated. When is Autumn coming?”
“Tomorrow, she and
her posse should be here by dinner. We need to hit the grocery store first
thing tomorrow.” I say. Jackson leads me to the bed and we climb in. I’ve
made it with fresh linens that I found in one of the closets. He covers us and
nuzzles my neck. “We need to turn the cable and internet on too.” He kisses
my cheek. “Jackson.” He pulls me close and turns me so my back is to his
front.
“I know. I just
wanted to kiss my mate okay?” His body curves possessively around mine and he
is so warm and comfortable that I fall asleep quickly.

I wake to the
smell of breakfast, not just any breakfast but coffee, bacon and eggs, maybe
pancakes. It’s heavenly. It has to be Kelly. She is my angel. Jackson is
missing. He’s gone to breakfast and he’s left me here. I had better have a
pancake when I get there! I dress quickly then brush my teeth and hair. I
hurry through the house to find Dad, Earl, and Jackson at the table eating.
Kelly is in the kitchen flipping pancakes and she smiles at me when I come in.
I smile back but I scowl at Jackson. I hear Kelly laugh. “There is plenty
here Summer. Don’t get nasty with Jackson.”
“Yeah don’t get
nasty with Jackson.” He was at my side now kissing my cheek. He sits
