Ms. MacNeil knew her daughter will do anything for them but this was a whole new level for them. She put them off on the whole affair with marrying a man to make them happy. They fear if they leave this world without some one to look out for her. She'll be alone without them.

They just want to make sure Jennie has happy and healthy. Years before Jennie was born. The MacNeils were childless for years they tried different methods to get pregnant. But no matter what they tried it was hopeless. Until the Demon King came in the picture. He changed the way in the medical world by using magic. Its was one of his many projects that he made.

************************************

A years ago. Jennie broke up with her long time boyfriend. They date through high school than college. Half way through college she find him with another woman. Jennie was going to celebrate with Sam. This the day that she was planning to go all the way with him.

He waited for years for her. She thinks it time to give him the one thing she have to him and that is her body. All her friends kept saying that she was old fashion. If he was the right that he wait until she was ready. He couldn't wait.

"Jennie don't be mad. You never let me touch you. I can't wait until we are married. My sister help me were you can't. This whole time I was with her. I fell in love with her. I was going to tell you, it's just that I was looking for the right time to tell you but it never came up." The woman in his arms was his own step sister. His father married a woman with a child. They grew up together. They both met went he was seven and she was eight. Their love grew went they were in high school.

They tried to forget about each other and started date different people. Sam date Jennie while his sister date different guys. He didn't want to go through the trouble of dating different girls. So Jennie was the one he thought would be a good choice. Only to find out that she was holding out on him. Told him that she was not ready to go beyond kissing. Not even second base. He was getting frustrated with her.

He was so frustrated even his sister find out why. She laughed at him. Told him, he was stupid in pick her. In his mad dash in trying to grab her. They both tipped and fell on one another. The next instant they were kissing. Sam started to move his hand down her body. Pulling on her clothes. She didn't stop him. That was a start to a whole new level to second base.

But they couldn't finish. Their parents show up to find them on the floor. Think they were wrestling like they were little kids. Sam didn't want their parents finding out about them. So his sister and him a little cool off. A week later they were at it. But this time he took her to Jennie apartment for she work after her classes. It was a perfect place for them . Had the key just in case Jennie was sick or she had forgot somethng that in had to pick up.

And here she find them in her bed and naked. They both were so happy about it. What the hell are they doing in her bed. Jennie nodded her head. Turned to the closet. Gabbing the shoe box in the corner of the closet. Put off the lid. There a silver 45 gun and a clip full of billets. Pulling out the gun and loadied it. There was one thing that Jennie never told Sam about. She was a hell a top shooter. Every week she will find time to going shooting. To take out her frustration on life. Sam and his sister seen her with the gun. They fear for they lives. Tripping over the blankets to get out to the door. Both forgot to put on their clothes. Ran butt naked out the street. Jennie didn't care about them. She pick up their clothes and threw it out the window.

Sam Banks drop out of college a month later. Him and his step sister have gotten in big trouble with their parents. Not to mention the baby on the way. She heard that Sam worked at his father company now. She knew that his father forced him to work at the company.

So her parents decided to help. Hearing good things about matchmakers from their friends and co-works. They did not expect to hear that the Demon King was looking for a bride. All the matchmakers looking for the ones that the Demon King was interested in. Jennie so happens to fit the criteria.

Jennie had her mother brown hair but her eyes were green. Her father said her eyes come from her grandmother. She pass way went her father was twelve. A far as she knew her beauty came from both side of her family.

Jennie was still angry with her parents. She knew they meant well but right now she has no interest in men. She phone kept ringing. Knowing full well that her parents are trying to get a hold of her.

The very next day Jennie went to work. She was a secretary to a large insurance company. E's insurance company was the third largest in the world. Her Inter ship end next month. She had no time for romance. She was not going to miss a day of work for a man. And not just any man the Demon King. Why go though that kind of hassle.
