New In The Territories (Book 1) COMPLETED

Chapter 85 Sam

Moping around the house, refusing to call anyone just so I could sit outside for some fresh air. I made a promise to Jack and wouldn't break that promise if it was in my power. Staying inside was in my power. Not expecting Nickoli for a few more hours, I decided to start making dinner. Not really hungry, but when all else fails and bored as all hell, eating was a great substitute.

Making it to the kitchen as my front door bell rang, I had a moment of excitement before the nervousness hit and worry about who could be at my door unexpected. Creeping around the kitchen door, and slowly made it down the hall and stared at the front door debating whether to answer it. My friends have succeeded in making me into a paranoid wreck. The doorbell rang again followed by a deep raspy voice calling my name. The voice sounded familiar, but I couldn't place it. Lowering my shields, which I chastised myself for not doing at the beginning, to feel with if my senses who it might be. Definitely three wolves and they felt familiar. They were from the pack, that I was certain but I didn't recognize who they were.
This time it was a loud thunderous knock, "Sam, its J.B. Jack sent us over." Now I remembered why the voice sounded faintly familiar. J.B. was the head bouncer from Dmitri's bar. I met him the first time I went to B.B.W.'s, Dmitri's bar and he caught me off guard when he knew my name when I first walked in.

Little more relaxed, but curious, I headed for the front door. "Hey J.B. what are you doing here?" I asked when I opened the door. He was a bear of a man, not as tall as Dmitri, but just as wide and stood behind him were two other wolves that looked vaguely familiar from the barbeque.

"Jack sent us over and said working out to the point of exhaustion may help with your problem." It was amusing seeing a guy that large looking sheepish and embarrassed as he repeated Jack's message.

I laughed, right about now I was up for trying anything that would help lower my libido or at least made me so tired that my body would be too exhausted to even think about sex. "Ok, what does he have in mind?"

J.B. looked relieved with the way I took his Alpha's message. "Well I was thinking about a run in the woods. Not too far, more like the outskirts of your property and with me and the boys here it should be pretty safe."

Opening the door all the way to let them in I said, "You want me to go running with you?" Was he high? "First, I am out of shape. Second, I never ran besides back in grade school for track and field. And third, you are fucking shifters, how the hell am I supposed to keep up?" The idea of going out running was not a good one. There was no way I could make it a half a mile without collapsing, never mind the fact these guys could move and move fast.

My remarks and attitude about running earned me a chuckle from J.B. and smiles from the other two wolves. "We can run at your pace and you never know you may surprise yourself. Go get something lightweight on and we will head out. You may even enjoy the burn of your legs and lungs as you push yourself to farther limits."

I stared at them with disbelief for a minute. "This is nuts," I turned to head upstairs to get changed. "You now there is a good chance you will be carrying my fat ass back home," I added over my shoulder then mumbled to myself not caring if they heard me or not, "I am so going to get you back, Jack, if this doesn't work."

Outside and following J.B.'s directions on making sure I stretched properly before heading off, I did have to admit it was nice to be out of the house and the stretching of my muscle felt even better. I could tell the men were doing it more for me than themselves. In about five minutes they were going to be bored out of their mind, the speed they were going to be running would not affect them one tiny bit.

"I'm going to thank you all now for coming over and getting me out of the house while I still can breathe and not cursing all of you," I said with a smile and truly meant it. There was no doubt in my mind these guys were going to push me past my limit. They did not know me, which meant they had not had a chance to acquire feelings for me. That would end up being a bonus if they did and decided to give me a break, but the look on their faces I knew they were going to push me and push me hard.
