Chapter 34: Step Towards

I woke up to an empty bed, and felt around. I didn't feel anything so I shot up. Seven shit I over slept. I tossed the covers up and saw a band Tshirt and slipped on a bra and tank top and slid into jeans before banging on Gavin's door. "We over slept bud get up!" I raced down the stairs and slammed into a body. "Relax Paisley Gavin is already off to school with lunch money from your wallet because he won't take my money. You are going to eat and then I'll walk you to work." I flashed a glace at the table and saw that he had made eggs and bacon. "You did this?" He nodded and walked me to the table. "Eggs, bacon, and I can make more toast since Gavin took a bunch with him." I nodded and looked at the heaping plate. "Why didn't you wake me?" I asked as Jackson put down some toast as I made him and I a plate. "You where sleeping really good, and so I decided I should let you sleep and step up. I really want this Paisley." He buttered the toast and brought over four slices. I grabbed one and pulled eggs on it before eating it. "You want me to make a sandwich for you?" Jackson asked as he watched me. "No this is good, thank you." He nodded and we ate in silence. I grabbed the empty plates and scrubbed them. Jackson took them and placed them I to the dishwasher and wiped the table down.

"Come on or you will be late." He said as he opened the back door. "You know you don't have to work if you don't want. Not anymore..." I glared at him and he tossed his hands up. "Just saying I can take care of you both." I nodded, and bit down on my cheek from lashing out at him. "I enjoyed last night and this morning. Do you think we could do it again sometime?" He kept his word and took care of Gavin so I nodded. "Yeah."

"You don't seem happy?" I stopped walking and waited till Jackson stopped and turned to look at me. "It's just a lot. After having no relief and running around places... It was just weird for me to have you there. I'm just not sure how to give up the control." Jackson looked at me. "I know it's stupid, but every morning and night we only had each other and I just feel off from not seeing Gavin this morning." He nodded again and ran his hands through his lightened hair. "I get that. I can wake you next time. Just Gavin agreed to let you sleep and said he had something at five tonight."

I nodded and looked towards Jackson. "He will come home at three grab food. An Italian sub with mayo and extra spicy mustard, and a milk which I'll grab on my lunch break, and then I will meet him at the school for his game." Jackson nodded. "If you want you can come with me, Im sure Gavin would like for you to see him play." Jackson's face broke out in a smile. "Do you want me to come? Because Gavin didn't invite me, he just told me to remind you five."

I smiled and nodded. "You should see him play." He pulled me to him amd kissed my cheek. "So excited I'm gonna go get those sandwiches and bring you back something for lunch. Don't worry Italian sub, mayo extra mustard and a milk. plus some sports drinks cause he probably will need it." I shook my head and opened the door to the tattoo shop. " Morning Ginger." She jumped and grabbed her chest. "Morning Paisley. Boss Man Jeff wants a word with you about yesterday." She said her eyes big. "You okay after yesterday?" she nodded, but seemed to be me more jumpy then usual.

I slid my bag off my shoulder and walked to the back room. "Jeff?" I called and a door opened. "Here come on in Paisley." He dissappeared and I followed leaving the door open. "You wanted to see me?" He nodded and took a seat in a swivel chair. "I wanted to apologize to you about my brother Hyde. He's a bit crazy and we'll you handled him the best way you could. I'd like you to have Ginger call me next time." I shook my head. "Next time? No I won't be doing a tattoo for him, and you are nuts if you let him in here again. he punched your employee. If he comes in here again I will do more then subdue him and hold him especially if he makes a move towards myself or Ginger." The door jingled and Ginger screamed for Jeff. I ran back to the front with Jeff behind me.

Hyde had Ginger by the hair and pulled her around the desk. "Let go of her you psycho. You have a problem with me so let her go." Jeff ran to Ginger and she cried as he picked her up and ran her to the office. "Psycho huh? Last person who called me that died." Hyde spat at the floor in front of me, but I didn't move. "Okay Psycho who comes into a place and pulls a woman by her hair. Fight someone who is your own size." Hyde reacted and ran towards me and I kicked his face. I straddled him and punched him in the jaw as hard as I could hearing a snap. "Stop!" Bellowed Jeff as I punched Hyde's throat causing him to wheeze terribly.

"You are fired." I laugh and grab my bag from the work station. "Better yet I quit for you obviously not caring about your employees." Jeff let oit a roar as Ginger peaked around the corner. "Ginger you need a job call me I'm gonna set up a shop near here and I think I may need a receptionist." I waved at Jeff who was glaring at me and walked out. "Good job Paisley." I said as I walked down the street looking for open shops.

I saw Jackson's car and took a deep breath as it slowed down. "What the fuck happened?" He yelled and I walked to the door. "Get in Paisley." Looking down the street I saw an empty shop. "One second." I ran to the window and saw an open floor plan with black tile and white walls. I snapped a picture of the number and ran back to Jackson's car. "I need a ride to the bank."

He glanced at me and when I looked down I saw the splattered blood. "Tell me what happened first." He sped down the road and whipped into my driveway as I told him what unfolded st the shop. "So now you are what?" I smiled and showed him a picture. "Now I am going to open my own shop and hire Ginger of she wants to leave that fucker Jeff." He nodded and acted way calmer then I expected. I grabbed a bag from the back and opened my door. "You change and I'll put these in the fridge."

I changed and dialed the number down on a pad before calling it. "Hello my name is Heather with Regular Reality how can I help you?" Came a small squeaky voice through the speaker. "Hey my name is Paisley and I am was interested in the barber shop on Main. The large open floor plan? I was wondering if you know how much it was and if there is a rent option?" I heard her clicking a few keys and huffed. "I'm sorry Mam it looks like an offer was accepted by the seller and is in co tract." I let out a deep breath. "Okay thank you. Do you know for any other places like that?" I asked hoping to get lucky. "No there's a restaurant on second?" I shook my head. "No that's way to big, but thank you Heather."

I hung up and trudged down the stairs. "You okay?" I nodded. "Do me a favor and don't mention my work situation to Gavin. He gets all nervous and stops eating as much when he worries about money." Jackson nodded and closed the fridge. "Okay no worries. Anything else?" I shook my head. "No the place is in contract so I will have to find another job tomorrow, but today I just want to relax." Jackson smiled and picked me up. Carrying me up to the couch on the third floor. "Up for a movie?"

I nodded and Jackson turned on the television and looked through our small collection. "Wow we need to borrow movies from your Dad. These suck." I smiled as he flipped through the channels instead landing on the Breakfast Club. "Here I know you like this one." He pulled me to him and tossed the remote. "I wish you would have called me when that guy showed up again." Jackson whispered as he pulled my braid apart and rand his fingers through my hair.

"Maybe I will next time." He groweled. "Paisley." I let out a laugh and he pushed me over. "I'm fine not even a scratch, just a bruised knuckle or two which are almost healed. Jackson snatched my hand and looked it over. "Damn it Paisley." He grabbed his hair and pulled. "Stop Jackson I'm fine." I sat back up and kissed his cheek. "I'm fine, and you are fine, and we are fine." He looked up at me and I smirked. he slid me onto his lap and grapsed my hair. "Let me kiss you." I nodded and a second later he kissed me hard. A moan escaped his throat as I ran my hands down his chest and pushed my tongue into his mouth.

He yanked my hair back and exposed my throat. "Oh how you test me." I smiled and his hand slipped under my shirt. He ran his fingers lightly over my stomach and towards my breast. "Tell me when to stop Paisley." He reached around and popped my bra loose as he kissed down my neck. "Your body has changed. You are even more beautiful." His eyes flashed as he tore my shirt leaving me topless and breathing hard. He cupped my breast and played with the nipple. "Still don't like it soft?" He didn't give me time to answer before he bit my boob causing me to gasp.

Jackson ways knee what I wanted and he released my hair. He slid off his shirt and bucked under me. "Fuck I want to tear into you." He said as he pinched both nipples. I threw my head back and knew he could definitely smell my arousel. "Do it Jackson. I want to feel you." He released my chest and tossed me on the couch dropping his pants and boxers. I rushed for mine. "Ride me. It's been to long since I've see you come Paisley." He whispered as he sat on the couch and pulled my leg towards him.

"I don't remember you being this playful." I said as I pulled myself up and sat on his lap. I looked down at his hardened cock and grabbed it earning a hiss from him. "Fuck Paisley." I loosened my grip and slid it towards me. "Don't play with me..." Jackson hissed trying to hold back his Wolf. I sat down on him and rocked my hips slowly. He groweled and tossed me backwards. "Nope to slow." He rammed into me making me moan and remembered how much I loved when he took control of my body.

Jackson pulled my legs around d him and I tightened them as he grabbed on to my hips. "Hard or Harder?" He asked with a gleam in his eye. "Harder." I said as he slammed into me and the couch broke. "Keep going." I moaned as he grabbed my breast squeezing me and moving his cock back and forth insode me. My walls contracted as I came hard and "More Jackson!" I gasped as I caught my breath. He grabbed my ankles and pulled them off of him as slipped from me. I let oit a whimper and he tossed me over the back of another part of the couch.

"Don't worry love. I am just getting started. He slammed back into me and shoved his hands between the couch and me. Jackson slid his finger over my clit and I jolted and convulsed around him. "Fuck Jackson. Harder." I cried as he pinched and let me have another release. This one was harder and I could feel myself running down my thighs. "One more position for now." He said as he slammed me against the wall and putting me almost through it.

The wall cracked against my back as he slammed into me like a truck. "Yes Jackson." He pulled my head towards him and kept up the pace as I shattered for the third and final time before he locked up and I felt his come spray inside me. A surge of power filled the room, and he pulled away. My legs shook as I fell to the floor and Jackson pulled away further. "Don't move for a second." He glanced back as the power thrummed through me and his eyes and fangs looked me over. He pulled his face away and pulled on his hair, before they returned to normal.

He hurried next to me when he regained control. "Are you okay?" I nodded and he kissed me as my veins pumped the blood fast around my body. "Sorry my wolf came out and wanted to mark you. I didn't want to drop you, but loosing control was not an option." I nodded as the power in the room diluted and my breathing returned to normal. "Same feeling?" He asked as I looked down at my hands and legs which now had a pins and needle feeling. "Yeah." I let out as he pulled me up and covered me with a blanket. "Sleep Paisley. I'll wake you before three to shower." I nodded and immediately fell out.
