I'm not going to say I didn't know where I was when I woke up. And I am not going to say I didn't know why I was being held in someone's arms when I woke up. I clearly remembered that David had pounced on me the minute that Jackson had left last night. He had then proceeded to carry me in his arms to my room and ravish me. OK, I need a better phrase for that. David had taken charge and then he proceeded to ** me stupid. It was great.

I was just coming to while laying in his arms, the sun peeking through the curtains waking me like it usually did. I felt satisfied and sore in all the right ways. That had been an amazing night. David had taken the lead just how I liked.

I was just about to stretch and yawn, my usual way of waking, when I heard my door fly open.

"Are you **ing kidding me?!

" I heard Jackson scream, breaking the silence and serenity of the moment.

"Dude, shut the **ing door!

" David growled at him.

"Have you never heard of privacy?

"

"Don't **ing go there with me wolf boy. That's my **ing sister you got you paws all over.

"

"Sister?

" David sounded confused as he looked at me with a tilted head.

"Pseudo sister.

" I told David as he looked really worried there for a moment.

"He is a good friend, an excellent work partner, and an honorary adopted brother.

"

"You're my little sister and that's that. And I don't like coming home to find out that some dirtbag has violated you.

"

"Jackson.

" I growled his name.

"Man, you're fixin' to get hurt here.

" David spoke with a little southern drawl for a moment, almost as if he wasn't always a resident of Colorado. It sounded so cute.

"I would like to see you try.

" Jackson scoffed at him.

"Then you better get-.

"

"ENOUGH!

" I yelled at the two of them, cutting David off mid sentence.

"Stop **ing arguing. For crying out **ing loud you two are acting like toddlers.

" I glared at them both, breathing heavily in my anger.

"Jackson, like it or not I am a big girl and I will ** anyone I want.

"

"Like hell you will!

" Both Jackson and David yell at me at the same time.

"And David, just try to understand that Jackson is protective of me. We are often the only family that the other has around. We may not be a real family but we act like it. So just try to come to terms with the fact that I come with an idiot human brother who will try to stand in our way.

"

"As long as you stick by me, Babe, I will be able to handle anything at all.

"

"We will see. I am still wanting to continue in my career.

"

"And I would never stop you.

" He grinned at me and hugged me tight.

"Blech. I think I'm going to be sick.

" Jackson feigned some gagging noises as he pretended to hunch over.

"Deal with it, Jack. This is my life now whether you like it or not.

" I laughed at him and his overly dramatic ways.

"Oh, where did I go wrong when raising you?

" He added some extra drama for my benefit.

"When did you become my dad as well as my brother? That's just way too freaky of a family dynamic you're spouting now. Take it down a notch.

"

"Oh shut it.

" Jack laughed at me again.

"I'm allowed to be upset. I walk in on you with a man you don't even know.

"

"Like this is the first time I have slept with a man I didn't know? How many women have you slept with and didn't even remember their names? Huh? I don't want to hear it Jack. And David is going to be around from now on.

"

"Oh, I am so glad to hear you say that.

" David purred next to my ear as he squeezed his arms around me.

"Can you not try to seduce her while I'm standing in the doorway?

"

"Then shut the door and leave, I have more important things to do.

"

"Shut up! Both of you! Geez! I can see the two of you are going to be giving me a lot of headaches.

" I heaved a sigh as I rolled my eyes.

"Jackson go away.

"

"You're not about to, to-.

"

"I'm going to get up and get dressed. You two are annoying the **ing hell out of me.

"

"Fine. We need to get to work anyway.

" He glared at David once more before leaving and, thankfully, shutting the door.

"Good, he's gone.

" David purred as he wrapped his arms around me, attempting to pull me closer to him.

"Stop it.

" I snapped at him.

"I was serious, I'm getting up and taking a shower.

"

"Hmph.

" He pouted then, taking on the look of a lost puppy.

"Not even for a nibble.

"

"No.

" I laughed as I pushed his hand away as it crept toward me.

"Not for a nibble, lick, taste, nothing.

"

"Fine.

" He seemed to whine a little, but I could tell it was fake.

"Can I shower with you at least. It's economical, saves water and all that.

"

"David.

" I glared at him.

"Just a shower. I promise.

" He held up his hands as if he had been told to freeze, it was quite funny.

"Fine, just the shower.

" I couldn't help it, he was gorgeous after all.

I tossed the blanket aside and stood, heading for the bathroom door. That was one good thing about this house. It may be small and all that, but both bedrooms had their own private bathroom. I may love Jackson like a brother, and that's why like any other sister I didn't want to share a bathroom with him.

I hadn't taken more than two steps before David called out to me.

"What the hell is that?

" When I turned back to him I saw that he was pointing at my leg. When I looked down I saw that there was a black tattoo like image wrapped around my thigh, and right there on my inner thigh was a set of teeth marks that David had clearly left on me.

"You marked me?

" I asked him, curious.

"On my thigh?

"

"I was just moving on instinct. I didn't know I was going to mark you. But you bit me too. I remember that.

" He was grinning.

"But hey, look at it this way, you won't have to hide it for work.

" He was so happy it was making him look like a fool.

I was just standing there, looking at the image on my body. It was like the branches of a wisteria tree, the flowers dangling down my leg. It was larger than any other mark I had seen yet, but it was so beautiful.

"I did say you smelled like flowers to me.

" He was grinning again as he went to stand up himself. That was when I noticed that he had a mark on his leg as well.

"How the hell did I mark you?

" I asked him, curiosity and awe were about to make my head explode.

"What? Really? Sweet, the Alpha was marked by the Luna but everyone just thought that that had to do with her being the Luna and all that, plus she's not exactly a full wolf. Half witch and all that.

"Really? She marked him?

"

"Yeah, I don't know the specifics, but I guess it can happen to any couple, not just them.

"

"Do you think it was because we bit each other at the same time?

" I asked him as I stared at his mark now. It looked like three ropes of ivy loosely twisting together as they circled his upper thigh. The marks were in the same place, but since mine had the flowers dangling down my leg mine looked bigger.

"I am just glad that I can say that you're mine.

" He walked over and kissed me then, a sweet little peck on the lips, it was the tamest thing we had done yet.

"And I am glad it won't be visible at work.

" I heaved a sigh, frustration or relief I'm not sure, and headed for the bathroom. David was hot on my heels.

I did my best to make it just an innocent shower so that we could hurry.

I failed! There was a lot of hands on time. There was a lot of intimate touching. There was a lot of moaning and cries of pleasure. There was definitely some ecstasy that came before breakfast.

What could I say? David was a beast, he was a stallion, a mad man. Actually he was just a really take charge kind of wolf and I really, really liked that about him.

I could see a lot more times like this one and definitely more like the night before. I would be more than happy to spend my nights with my new mate. I was actually starting to really appreciate this whole mate bond thing. But I still wasn't giving up my career for it. I had worked too hard for it after all.
