Jared's point of view: Chapter 4

I kissed her softly holding her arching body over the cliff as the sun set. I loved her soft body, her silky long hair, and her innocent lips. I was gentle with her, I wanted to be with her and protect her. I wanted to earn her trust and earn her love. I wanted to be a gentleman to her.

I finally found the strength to pull away. I held her so our foreheads were still touching and she was still in my lap over the cliff.

"I should probably get you home." I breathed. She frowned but nodded.

"Can you help me get away from the cliff? It's starting to freak me out." She said glancing nervously at the cliff.

"Yeah just close your eyes for a second so you don't look down." I smiled. She slowly closed her eyes. I stood up and lifted her gently by the waist up with me. I then turned us around and gently set her feet on the ground.

I kissed her hard missing the taste that her lips allowed. I had to stop kissing her because I was losing the will to stop when I did. I finally pulled away. She faltered and I caught her.

I grinned loving the fact that I had that effect I had on her. She blushed a light pink but smiled.
I grabbed her hand and began to walk toward her house. We finally reached her house and I walked her to the front door. We stood on the porch.

"Thanks for walking me home Jared." She blushed.

"Thanks for today Kim. I had a great time." I smirked.

"I had a great time too." She smiled making me grin brightly. I leaned down and wrapped my arms around her waist lightly kissing her. Kim was so tiny she stood on her toes and I had to bend down for our lips to touch.

The urgency of the kiss increased. I thought when Sam was with Emily he was whipped, but now I understand how amazing imprinting was. I wasn't forced to love her, I wasn't a love slave. I was completely in love with her. I knew I loved her already and I knew it would only get stronger. I just really hoped she would fall in love with me.

I heard someone clear their throat roughly. Kim and I jumped apart. I saw Kim's father standing by the door.
"Hey dad." Kim said flustered.

Oh shit. I was caught making our heavily with Kim by her father. This was the situation most guys feared. Only it was significantly worse because he was on the council and knew I was a werewolf. Yeah I almost phased by fear right then.
"Hello Sir." I said offering him my hand.

"Jared." He said roughly shaking my hand. We all stood there in silence.
"Kim diners ready now. Why don't you join us Jared?" Kim's father suggested.

"I wouldn't want to intrude Sir." I said politely.

"Nonsense, besides I want to have a talk with any young man that is that friendly with my daughter." Mr. Lexicon said smirking and embracing his power. I nodded and I saw Kim glance at me apologetically.

"Did you imprint on my daughter?" He asked so quietly knowing that only I could hear it because of my super hearing. We walked inside. I looked at him nodding and Kim gave me a questioning glance. I just gave her a big smile and I heard her heart rate go up.

"Hey honey we have a guest. This is Jared Cameron he helps around the Reservation and the council." Mr. Lexicon said.

"Hello Jared I'm Mrs. Lexicon. So where were you today Kim?" Her mom asked.
"Well I'm assuming she was with Jared considering I just interrupted their make out session." Kim's dad barked out laughing. I looked down really embarrassed.

"Dad stop!" Kim shouted in embarrassment. I instantly glided over to stand near her dying to comfort her.
"Okay, okay I'm done." Her dad laughed trying to calm her down.
"Everyone sit down. Dinner is ready." Her mom said laughing.

I sat down right next Kim. I never realized how big her family was. Her younger brothers who were twins, Matt and Mark sat across from me. And a young baby sat in a booster seat was next to them and her mom sat at the head of the table next to the baby. And her dad sat at the head nearest to me and little Sophie sat by Kim.

I was actually having fun. Everyone was fun and accepting.
"What is your favorite animal?" Sophie randomly asked.
"I don't know. What's yours?" I asked.

"Me and Kimmy love Wolfies." She grinned. Her dad choked on his wine. I grinned and started cracking up. How more perfect could this get.
"What's so funny about that?" Kim asked smiling.

"Sorry inside joke. I'll tell you about it someday." I smiled genuinely at her. She gave me a gentle smile. Diner finished and Kim and I sat outside alone.
"Sorry my family's embarrassing." She blushed. I pecked her lips.
"No their great. I'm not used to big families." I smiled.

"Do you have any siblings?" She smiled.

"No, well Paul's like my brother." I said softly. I saw her wince slightly when I mentioned Paul.

"Hey I know you don't like him. I know he can be a stupid dick but he's been through a lot. We both have dad issues. Mine left and his was very abusive. His mom is an alcoholic. We are brothers and have always had each other's backs." I said softly cupping her face in my hands.
"I didn't know. I am so sorry." She whispered. I kissed her letting her know it was okay.

I kissed her softly and she wrapped her arms around my neck. I finally pulled back.
"Your dad is about to come outside, I can hear him." I frowned just as he opened the door.

"Goodnight Jared." She smiled before going inside blushing.
"Goodnight Kim." I smiled back.

"I think it's time for that talk now Jared." Kim's dad said.
"Yes sir." I said respectively.

"Well you have to understand Kim's my oldest daughter and I'm protective of my children. I understand you imprinted and what all that means with you and my daughter. If you hurt her in any way that imprint means nothing. You will let her go if she gets hurt. I understand that that would break her but at least she could live. I would rather die than have any of my children be unhappy. But I would rather burn in hell to see any of them in a hospital or dead." He said shaking.

"Sir I would never hurt her." I replied seriously. My stomach dropped just thinking about it.

"I understand but Sam told Harry Clearwater he would never hurt Leah. But then he imprinted on Emily and he broke his promise. Sam also hurt Emily and he has to live with both for the rest of his life. No one means to hurt someone but it's those monumental accidents and events that do. I believe you but I need you to understand I am trusting you with my daughter and just not for now but for life." He said softly.

"Yes sir I understand. May I still see her?" I asked hopefully.

"Yes but don't wait too long to tell her the truth. Secrets don't benefit anyone. Also no phasing near her and don't think about getting too hands on with her." He said the last part seriously.

"Sir?" I asked puzzled.
"Keep it in your pants is a modern way of saying that. Understood?" He threatened.
"Oh yes sir. I wouldn't. I understand. Yes sir." I said turning beat reed. I haven't even thought of going that far with Kim.

"Then that's all I have to say. Have a nice night and be careful on patrol." He laughed.

"Thank you sir." I said and left. I phased and ran patrol with Sam. Everything had changed in a matter of days. All I thought about was Kim and how I was going to tell her. I hoped she would accept me because I was falling in love with her.
