I slept in the next morning, I knew Charlie wasn't in bed so I stretched out and felt just a bit sore. I sat up and moved right to my dresser and pulled out a nightgown I've had forever and fluffy socks because it was cold.

I opened the door to my room and was hit with the smells of bacon and coffee. I pushed my lips together and moved almost silently and I saw Charlie in the kitchen still. Now making eggs and I just watched his body move and flex.

He was huge, his muscles and height. Just knowing he was in the house made me think I would never need that security system.

He was a large Yeti that any shifter should be afraid of. Yetis were known for their short tempers and 'barbaric' ways in how they treat their mates. But that was mostly because the last generation was from the 1800s since most hadn't found their mates.

Charlie was born in the same generation I was, so he couldn't want me to be his little mate that was only a baby maker.  He turned when I stepped inside and he sent me a smile.

"Good morning." He leaned down when I got close and gave me a kiss. I wrapped an arm around his side when he pulled away to finish the eggs. "Your coffee is on the table." He told me and I looked over to see two plates, orange juice in a pitcher, a cup of coffee that was still steamy and I snatched a piece of bacon as I went to sit down.

I chewed as he got things separated on plates before sitting down with his own coffee and I started to eat as he scarfed his plate like the other day at the diner.

"Charlie?" I giggled his name and he looked at me quickly as he chewed.  "No one is going to take your food."

"I know that." He told me and I smiled and started to eat. Once he was done he stood and leaned into my space, grabbing my chin to align with his.

"What was that for?" I asked him when he pulled back and inhaled my neck where he had bitten me.

"I have to go. The roof repairs are being done today. I know you're sore from last night, and I don't want you to clean the inn. Stay here and relax. I'll be back by lunch and then we can have a day in since the guys will be done." He told me and I just nodded to him and he smiled before leaning back in to give me another kiss.

"I just have one question for you." I told him when he pulled away and he nodded. "Why did you seem surprised I was a virgin? And why did you say you were going to kill Jason?"

"Just something he said during that holiday he spent with me." He told me and I just crossed my arms and waited. "Don't make me say it." He begged and I just looked away.

"Obviously he made you believe I let him have sex with me... did he at least say I was good?" I asked him and he didn't say anything. "Of course not. He had been talking shit about me that holiday which means he probably said I was crappy." Now I wanted to kill him. I wanted to find his smug ass and best him to a pulp.

"You are my mate now, fully. If he says another negative thing about you, I will do something about it. And I will not tell you what he said. I refuse to see you upset over him again." He sank to his knees beside me and I gulped and tried to put it in the back of my mind.

"Fine but one day... you will tell me all he said about me." I told him and he smiled.

"You will try." He leaned up and kissed me again. "I will get the mail as you finish then I will make more coffee for you and then run you a bath."

"Where did you come from?" I laughed out loud too hard as he just smirked. There was no way that he would be like this forever. Jason has been in the 'honeymoon' phase with me less than a month.

I watched Charlie walk back towards me with lots of magazines and he had a wide smile on his face. He seemed like something right out of a romance novel. Big bulky man who was dominate and protective. Sweet after he and I had sex. He made breakfast and he was giving me free will over his wallet do make my wildest wish of an Inn come true.

He was something right out a Nicolas Sparks movie.

"You can take the rest of your morning ordering what we need for the Inn. And maybe a bigger bed, yours is a little short for me. Maybe a Cal King. And get your pretty sheets and more pillows. Maybe look at stuff for-" he paused when we heard a knock and he smiled down at me and leaned in to kiss me. "Just look at everything."

"Okay." I stood up as he turned and walked with him to the door. He opened it after pulling in his jacket and leaned back in to kiss me one more time. He opened the door and I paused when I saw Luke.

"You need a roof repair?" He asked me and completely ignored Charlie's presence.

"No. He does. On the Martins mansion." I was glad he called Luke.

"And you hired out of town people in stead of just coming to me?" He asked me again and I looked right to Charlie.

"I didn't know there was a guy in town that would do repairs in the snow." He told me when he noticed I was waiting for answer.

"I do everything from roofs to pipes to-"

"I know Luke. Give me a moment." I begged the pissed off Jaguar and moved to look at Charlie fully. "You have to give him the job. It's just how it's done in the town. I thought you had already hired him. You said you looked it up." I said and he frowned and looked from me to Luke.

"These guys came all the way here from-" He paused when he looked at me and I just crossed my arms. "Fine. I hope you can start today." He told Luke and I just nodded happily and shivered as a breeze swept through the door. 

"I will go get my supplies." Luke took off quick and I bit my lip and looked up at Charlie.

"That is Lukas Tackett, the one guy I said Jason was friends with in high school. His other best friend." I added and Charlie looked at the retreated back of the man I knew to be stubborn, childish, and a really good friend.

"And?" He asked me and I just bit my lip.

"As much as Jason isn't my favorite person right now... we both know he should not marry Claire. And even if Jason won't listen to you anymore because of me... Luke is our best chance at getting Jason to see things clearly." I told him and grabbed his hand. "Claire is going to bleed him dry and leave him as soon as he runs out of money for her."

"I know." He sighed and looked around. "I will try and talk with him about talking to my cousin." He told me and I smiled and wrapped one hand around his neck and pulled him down to give him a kiss.

"I am going to take a bath... then I will look over some of the catalogues, then I will meet you both for lunch at the Inn. I will be there around noon. Please play nice. He's a little rough around the edges and he might be a little... bitchy about the fact you chose outsiders rather than him to come to town." I fully warned and he nodded slowly before leaning down and kissing me again.

He finally left and I smiled wide as I locked the door and went to finish my breakfast. I cleaned the dishes after I was done and moved to get my clothes picked up from last night, only to spot the small streaks of blood on my sheets in the bed from last night.

I nibbled my lip and moved quickly to get some hydrogen peroxide and started to soak the small spot as I got the rest of my dirty clothes together and into the washer. I got it all in, including the nightgown I was wearing before rushing to get some clothes for after my bath.

I started to run the water as I started to smear on some shaving cream on my legs. It was supposed to smell like mixed berries but to me it smelled like sour berries with sugar on top. But it got the job done and it wasn't too powerful. I shaved my legs and armpits, and added my bath salts to the hot water before making sure they all dissolved.

I wiped down my legs and slowly climbed in, sinking down and moaning at the great feeling. I used my magic to flip on some music from my phone and I sat in the water until it was nice and cool. I drained the tub after getting out and I sat down on the toilet as I wiped my legs and then lathered them up with a lotion that smelled like flowers.

I got dressed in a pair of pretty panties and then leggings and then jeans. I put on the matching bra and then a tank top and a sweater shirt before going for fuzzy socks. By the time I was dressed I had worked up a small sweat so I went and turned off my heater for the house. It was mostly out of habit. I couldn't afford to keep it on all day so on days when the snow was bad and I knew I would have no clients... I stayed home and watched tv under a blanket.

And now... now I just pulled a blanket over my feet and grabbed a pen and those catalogues. I looked through the simple things like the long dressers we could put a simple TV on, and I looked at lamps and simple plain sheet sets.

 I circled what I thought we would want, then put the amount we would need. I did three sets of sheets for each bed we would have just incase anything happened that we would need to change sheets and then do it again before the other set was clean.

I decided that since he chose the size of the bed he wanted to just look at them, and it was mostly just looking at headboards and sheets. That mattress that was in his size only cam in like three brands and I didn't know what any of them felt like. So he would be able to pick that out.

But the sheets for them were mostly manly. Black, grey, and white. There were a few blues and reds as well but they were special order. I wrote 2x White and one of the other colors. I looked through the others and saw one completely about baby stuff. Nurseries, and swings, and walkers.

I looked through it and cooed over the happy babies they used for models and something inside me started to almost crave a baby. Now it was a real possibility. Charlie and I both wanted kids, we had already said 4 was a good number.

I was officially bonded to him since we had sex, and since I wasn't sure if my magic was going to affect my 'mate' because I wasn't a full Fairy, I knew for sure that I was claimed by him. A Yeti would take the blood of his mate, and the female he was fated to mate would take in his semen to complete the bond. And since Charlie didn't wear a condom last night I knew without a doubt from my side, that I was bonded to him.

I couldn't believe that I cried last night. But I was so happy. I could have everything I wanted. Everything I was always too scared to have with Jason. I knew he would have a mate, and I knew I wasn't it. We both did. Which is why we never chanced me having sex with him just incase my fairy side sort of claimed him.

I knew that I couldn't claim Jason because he wasn't my mate, and I knew that if he did find his real mate he would leave me and I would be stuck with any kids we would have had, just like my mother, and now... now I never had to worry about that.

I looked over at the time and realized I should start on lunch and I pulled out some stuff for sandwiches and salad and moved to get it all packed up to take to the Inn. I packed away the catalogues, all of them, and pulled on a thick jacket before heading out and arming the security system before locking up.

I got to the Inn with no issues on the ice and moved in and up the stairs where I could hear laughing and talking. I got to the small room the two men were in and looked at them both talking.

"Lunch call." I knocked as I spoke and they both looked over at me. Charlie had a glow in his eye as we made eye contact and Luke just groaned and started to say how hungry he was as he moved towards me and the food.

"How was your morning?" Charlie asked me as they started to eat and I mixed my small plate of salad.

"I got started on my laundry and started to look at the some of the things we might want for the Inn, like the beds, I just wanted you to make sure that they would all fit in a room or how many we could fit in a room." I said and he nodded and looked over to Luke.

"Do you also do stuff like bed frames?" He asked him and I smiled at Luke as he seemed to wonder where this was going.

"I have before, a bunk bed for a couple kids in the Chester family." He told him and shrugged but took a huge bite of his sandwich with no thought to where this was going.

"And how much would it take for you to make bed frames for all the rooms in this house. A full size for each,  a couple queens, a lot of twins?" Charlie offered out the numbers and Luke seemed frozen. "Can it be done?"

"Well yeah, but are you sure you would want me to do it?" He looked from Charlie to me before back to Charlie.

"There is something nice about wooden bedframes. And it would just keep putting money back into the town." Charlie looked back to me and I smiled wider.

"You're serious?" He looked from me to Charlie again and I just nodded.

"Luke just say yes you'll do it and then go home tonight and make a work up of the price you would need for the wood and then talk to me about your commission for doing everything." Charlie told him and I focused on my food as Luke just sat there stunned.

"Why?" Luke asked me as Charlie left to go to the bathroom 20 minutes later.

"What?" I asked him and he looked from me to the roof.

"You made him cancel on those guys. Made him choose me. Why?" He asked again and I just bit my lip.

"You know what Jason is doing?" I asked him and he nodded. "We both know Claire is there for the money. She might not run out of it in the first couple years but... the way she spends without a care in the world... she'll go through his fortune. And when she is done... he is going to be left heartbroken and alone. Maybe with kids or maybe not. But he's not listening to me about anything anymore. And you... she kicked you out of his life the first month they were together. And while Charlie wants to talk him out of it, they are also on the outs."

"And you want me to what? Chain him to a tree and beat the idea of leaving her into his head?" Luke asked and I shook my head and sighed.

"No. I want you to try and talk to him. Make him realize what he is going to do. Make him see that Claire is a gold-digger. Just try." I said and he looked at the now repaired roof.

"And if I can't get him to leave the she devil?" He asked me and I just didn't get what he was asking me. "Do I still get to make all the beds? Or is this a deal depending on how well I do with Jason?" He asked me and I saw the skeptical side come out and I just walked closer.

"You get the deal whether you try or not. It's yours. But this is Jason. And while he is proving to be more than a jackass than I ever thought possible... he doesn't deserve to be attached to Claire for the rest of his life. Jason and you were so close, and when she is gone that can happen again." I offered and he scoffed.

"Do you know what he even said about you?" He asked me and I just worked my jaw.

"I have been getting some kind of clues from my mate, but Charlie says he won't tell me anymore." I told him and he smirked.

"Then neither will I." Luke told me and I just gulped.

"So will you try and talk to him?"

"Sure. But I make no promises that he will suddenly listen." Luke promised and I rushed to hug him tight.

"Thank you."

I am going to add one more chapter for Jesse until I stop. I have already said that it would be taking place after the Moroz brother Series, and the first 11... I think it will be 11 chapters will just be a teaser.

Jesse and his family will each have their own books.

So.... I have this series, Moroz Brother series, and Jesse's family series.

Plus the one on my new page NormalLover007 about the RAZORBACK MC series. It is started on that page. The first couple chapters are up, or will be soon.

Check it out.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
