AN: here you go with the next chapter. thanks for the reviews. I can't remember who reviewed where, since this is posted in two places, but if you've reviewed good for you because you gave me the motivation to sit down and make myself write out the next chapter.

Colt sat back on the bed as him and Jessie took in the fact that they were mated. He looked from his palm to the woman sitting on the bed and back several times. He took in the worried look on Jessie's face as his mind reminded him that he had three weeks before he was impotent for the rest of his life.

"This is so screwed up." Jessie muttered, drawing his attention back to her. She gave a brief laugh. "It figures that I'd find the right guy and I can't have him."

"I agree on the screwed up bit," Colt interjected. "But what makes you think you can't have me?"

Instead of answering, Jessie reached for her pajamas and started pulling them on. She looked at him as she pulled her shirt on. "You might want to at least put on some pants. Sarah's coming down so we can talk about this."

Colt heard the sound of footsteps moving across the floor about them and jumped for his pants. He managed to get them on and secured as Sarah appeared at the top of the stairs. "You guys had better be decent. I don't want to add blindness to my list of complaints for tonight."

"We're good." Jessie responded, as Sarah came down.

Her and Colt were both sitting on the bed when she got to them. "Ok, what happened that you had to call me down here? I was really getting into Underworld."

Shock and disbelief covered Sarah's face as Jessie showed her palm and the mark on it. "Not something that I was planning on for tonight."

Sarah approached her sister and took Jessie's hand in hers. "Are you serious?" She looked at Colt who held his own hand up in confirmation. "Sweet. You could definitely do worse, sis."

"Sarah there are so many things wrong with this situation that it's not even funny." Jessie stated with a scowl at her sister.

Sarah shrugged. "Like what?"

"The whole significant others rule." Sarah waved it off with a 'he can take care of himself.'

"What about me being sworn to Artemis?"

"Please, like the bitch really cares about what any of us do."

"He travels with the Howlers and I have to stay here."

"Colt can phase back here when ever he wants, and I highly doubt you'll get lonely with him around every night or day, which ever way it happens."

"We just met. We know next to nothing about each other."

"You have like a month to-"

"Three weeks." Colt interjected.

"Ok, three weeks to get to know each other. Plus you guys already know the important things about each other."

Colt raised his hand in confusion. "What exactly do you view as the important things?"

"You both feel some attraction to each other, otherwise we wouldn't even be sitting here right now. You're both obviously good in bed, if what I heard half an hour ago is anything to go by." Colt and Jessie both blushed. "Also you guys already know the kind of world the other lives in." Sarah leaned in to whisper to Jessie. "Plus he's really cute."

Jessie shook her head at her sister's attitude towards the situation. "So you're basically saying I should just go with this? Mate with him, have kids, and tell Artemis to fuck off."

Sarah nodded as an evil grin spread across her face. "Exactly." She stood up and headed towards the stairs. "So get back to making cubs, or kids, I want nieces and nephews to spoil rotten."

"Shouldn't we at least Ash about this?" Jessie asked, casting a quick glance at Colt.

Sarah waved her hand in the air. "Yeah, we'll call him in the morning. Although, knowing him, he probably already knows the entire situation and doesn't have a problem with it. Now back to the baby making, I'm going back to my movie."

Colt casted a glance at Sarah's retreating back before turning to Jessie with a grin. Before she could react he pounced on her causing her to squeak in surprise. "Now where were we?"

Jessie started to laugh as Colt started nibbling on her neck. After a moment her laughter turned to moaning as he turned serious and started grinding his erection against her leg.

"Mmm", he moaned as he moved his hands under her shirt. "Have I told you that you taste wonderful?"

Jessie ran her fingers through his hair as she focused on the fire being rekindled in her stomach. "Maybe."

"Well, you do." he placed a kiss on her stomach as her pushed her shirt up and pulled it off.

She threw the shirt off to the side. "I'm glad you think so."

Colt smiled up at her as he moved to pull her shorts off. She lifted her hips to help him and she couldn't help returning his smile as he followed the waist band of her shorts with kisses. His kisses ended at her knees as he lifted her legs and threw her shorts with her shirt. After that her crawled back up her body and planted a kiss on her nose.

"Now, I think it's time to ravage you, my lady."

Jessie laughed. "I think that might run into a few problems at the moment."

He rubbed his face along her neck. "What problems would those be?"

She reached down and patted his butt. "You're still wearing your pants." She grinned at him when he looked up at her with a mock frown. "And I'm going to get you out of them."

"Really?" He gave a a disbelieving look. "And how do you propose that you do that, when I'm on top of you."

"Like this." Before Colt could react or contemplate her words, Jessie wrapped her arms and legs around him and threw herself to the side. They rolled over with Jessie ending up on the top, straddling his waist. She grinned as she leaned down and gave him a brief kiss. "Now to put us on even footing."

Colt watched as she moved down his body. He watched as she pulled his zipper down, somewhat hesitantly. He could've used his magic to remove his pants, but he knew that she needed to become comfortable with him and if it required this torture then he'd deal with it.

Jessie looked up at Colt as she gripped the legs of his pants. She gave a sharp tug on the material, pulling his pants down to his hips. She frowned and tugged on the material a couple more times with little more success. She heaved a sigh and glared up at Colt who only smiled at her attempt to disrobe him. "A little help?"

Colt chuckled as he used his magic to remove his pants. "Impatient?"

"No, your pants were just being difficult." She responded as she moved to sit beside him. "And I didn't want to fight with them."

"Impatient." He stated as she looked his body over. "Like what you see?" he asked with a grin.

She shrugged as she took in the sight of his muscular body covered in tawny skin. "It'll do, I guess."

He stared at her incredulously. "It'll do?! Where have you been the last few hours?"

She moved to straddle his waist again, fighting to keep the smile from her face. "Right here. You just look really cute when you're confused."

"Cute, huh?" he pulled her down for a kiss. "Well, you look cute yourself..."

"And?" she urged.

"And what?" He grinned.

"There just seemed to be more to that statement."

"There was."

"Care to elaborate?" She leaned her forehead against his.

"Maybe later." He grinned as he wrapped his arms around her and rolled over. "I'm going to be busy for a while."

He set about being busy for a while and she forgot about his statement.
