Jarrod continued looking through the contracts Archer sent him while Sam glanced over some paperwork for the Emporium located in Stockton. Sam had came by Jarrod's townhouse to tell him she needed to go back to Stockton for a few days before heading back to Nevada to meet her family. The only reason Jarrod was in San Francisco was due to Sam so he decided to go back with her. Besides he could deliver the contracts to Archer personally and have a few words with him in private.
Sam looked over at Jarrod and smiled. She got up and joined him on the small couch that was located in his private rail car.
Jarrod looked up from the contracts and smiled at Sam. "May I help you my dear?"
Sam smiled mischievously at him and said, "You could put those contracts down."
Jarrod raised his eyebrows and said, "Your wish is my command." He put the contracts on the small table in front of him and said, "Well?"
Sam smiled as she put her head on his chest and played with his shirt buttons. Jarrod wrapped his arms around arm inhaling her scent.
"Have you finished looking over the contracts?"
"Just about Archer made a few changes in the Barkley Sierra contract that I need to question him about but other than that it looks fine to me."
"What about his contract with Nick?"
Jarrod snorted, "I don't think he realizes he has signed a deal with the devil?"
Sam raised her head up and asked, "Who your brother or Archer?"
Jarrod laughed, "Both of them."
Sam laughed at Jarrod as she playfully swatted his chest, "You're horrible."
"I'm just being honest."
"So what are your plans for the next few days?"
"I need to meet with Archer first and foremost. Check with my office to see if anything has come up and make sure my calendar is empty to meet with your family next week in Nevada."
Sam rose up once again, "Are you going to tell your family?"
Jarrod sighed as he stood up, "I need to although it is not necessary. I am sure my mother will question me as to why I'm going to Nevada."
"How do you think they'll take the news?"
Jarrod looked at Sam as he answered, "I honestly don't know. I don't foresee a problem with my mother, Heath or Audra but Nick..."
Sam finished his thought, "He'll take it bad won't he?"
Jarrod sat back down next Sam, "Bad?" Jarrod chuckled, "not hardly. I know you haven't met my family yet but he is the complete opposite of me in every way."
"Are you regretting this?"
Jarrod sighed as he looked at Sam, "No. My brother has obviously moved on and hired another attorney so that frees me up to pursue other avenues."
"But you still think he'll be upset?"
"I'm pretty sure he will be."
"I'm sorry for this trouble between you and your brother. I'll understand if you change your mind."
Jarrod took Sam in his arms once again, "Honey, I'm not going to change my mind."
"I just don't want to be the reason for the discord between you and your brother."
Jarrod smiled and said, "That started before you arrived in town as a matter of fact it started the day he was born."
Sam giggled at Jarrod's remark, "And I thought my brothers fought a lot."
"Hmph. As we have gotten older the fights are not as often but we still do have them on occasion."
"I think my brothers have only been in a few fights that I can remember."
Jarrod laughed, "Sounds boring."
Sam laughed with Jarrod and said, "You are horrible."
"Well we may fight but I know when the chips are down Nick and Heath will both have my back regardless of what has happened."
"That's all that matters, family."
"Yes, I agree." Jarrod cleared his throat, "Speaking of families what would you say to meeting mine?"
Sam nodded her head and said, "I would like that but will it be before or after you tell them you're working for my family?"
"Most definitely before," Jarrod answered.
Sam giggled and said, "I need to check with my manager and see what nights he is wanting off and I can let you know?"
Jarrod gently kissed Sam's lips as he smiled, "Sounds like a plan to me. And if need be we can always meet for lunch or dinner at the Cattleman's?"
"I have a better idea Jarrod. Invite all of them to the VIP room at the Emporium. I can close the entire room off for us."
Jarrod smiled widely, "I think that is a marvelous idea."
Sam returned Jarrod's smile, "I'll check with my manager to find out what night we don't have the VIP room booked and I'll let you know."
"My brothers will certainly enjoy that."
Sam laughed, "The waitresses and waiters will be dressed properly."
Jarrod laughed, "I was talking about the food and liquor."
Sam blushed as she answered, "Oh. Well I need to make sure it is family friendly for your mother and sister anyhow."
