Spending the entire day with Jamie's family wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Sure after our argument it was slightly awkward but no one actually voiced their opinion on that matter. In fact they acted as if the entire ordeal didn't even happen. Except for Trent that is, he's not very good at keeping his emotions in check. Even though he tried to be as respectful as possible the longing look in his blue eyes gave away what he really felt. As much as he tried to assure everyone and himself I knew he wasn't my biggest fan. He almost seemed bipolar... One minute he was fine with me as if we were two long term friends and then just a moment later he saw me as the anti Christ. He seriously needs to figure out his stance on me.

"Are you alright?" Jamie chuckled cutely pulling me from my mental analysis of her brother. Glancing to my right I caught her gawking secretly up at me. Nodding my head I jerked my arm back toward me knowing that she wouldn't drop my hand and I would have her closer. Her free hand stroked against my knuckles as her other clasped my fingers tightly mashing our flesh together. "What are you thinking about?" She questioned as we continued our walk up the stone path to our home.

"Your family..." I trailed lowly causing her fingers to stop tickling my skin for a moment before starting up again. "Mostly Trent, I'm trying to figure out if he actually likes me or not" I informed her honestly hoping maybe she could give me some insight into his twisted brain. "He keeps giving me mixed signals" I began to explain though I was cut off by her cheeky laughter.

"I'm sorry" she grinned her cheeks so high I imagined her face would hurt when she stopped. "It's just you sound like a girl... All of these mixed signals" she quoting sighing loudly in the process for dramatic effect as she teased me carelessly. It only took a second for my wolf to perk up enjoying the happiness that flooded from her.

Freezing on the steps she continued to walk but only went up one more stair before realizing I wasn't moving. Spinning back her features turned quickly into a scared expression as though she thought I took her playfulness to heart and was offended. Though as she caught on to my small but genuine smile she relaxed and let her shoulders slump back to their natural form. "Do you like teasing me, Jamie?" I purred tugging her to the end of the concrete step above me to where the toes of her shoes were hanging over the edge. Gulping lightly she nodded taking in the huskiness of my voice. My hand, having a mind of its own scooted up her side engulfing every bit of her body until it reached its destination, her neck.

Slowly I brushed her dark hair back revealing the tender skin underneath and my wolves mark which was continuing to heal nicely. I allowed my thumb to stroke over the soft flesh causing her body to shudder the second I made contact. "Nate" she moaned lightly, letting her eyelids flutter briefly as her knees buckled under her.

Hearing her call out my name in ecstasy was an immediate high for me. Being able to have much an effect on her made my entire being pulse as if being shocked back to life. At the same time my head felt empty as a dizziness took over. Even though Jamie was standing above me I was still a bit taller then her so when I leaned in to her I had to lower my head to reach her neck. "You're not the only one who can tease" I whispered softly as my lips greeted her marking, sliding slowly against the damage skin. Granted we were talking about two types of teasing but she got the point.

"Nate" Brody called out the second he opened the front door hoping to stop whatever Jamie and I were about to do before we did it. Huffing I pulled my face from its comfy nook known as my mates neck. He stood leaning against the door frame watching the two of us intently, I could practically see the wheels turning in his head as we had an intense stare down. Brody remained silent waiting for me to speak first but I had nothing to say to him. My grip tightened on Jamie's hand as I scowled at Brody silently warning him to keep his mouth shut. Without another word I began my walk up he steps having Jamie directly behind me. Brody stepped to the side allowing us inside the house making me think I was off the hook. "Nate" he grunted once more when I was moving up the stairs. Knowing everyone was near and could probably hear our exchange I tried to keep it polite.
