small voice.
    A look of excitement flitted over Ed’s face.  “No way, I love this show!” 
    Jamie giggled.  “No you don’t.”
    Ed nodded fervently.  “Yes, I do, it’s my favorite show.”
    “No, you’re too old,” she told him censoriously.
    Ed affected a wounded look, which just made her giggle even more.  “Well, I guess I can’t watch this with you then.”
    Ed pulled out a DVD from behind his back, and Jamie’s face lit up.  It contained brand new episodes of the cartoon, not yet broadcast on TV.  She squealed and grabbed it out of his hands.
    Kim let out a breath she didn’t know she’d been holding, and her wolf roared in contentment.  That was it; now, Jamie loved him.  “What do you say?”
    “Thank you,” mumbled Jamie as she started pulling the disc out the case.  Kim and Ed might as well have been invisible now.
    Kim motioned with her head, and Ed followed her into the kitchen.
    “Does she need help with that?”
    Kim shook her head and put her hands on his shoulders.  “No, she’s better at working the DVD player than I am.  I’m impressed, by the way.”
    Ed placed his hands on her waist.  “Thank you, it’s a reaction I’m used to.  I’m pretty impressive.”
    “Hmmmm, modest too.”
    She brushed his lips with hers, and he moaned lightly.  He smiled.  “So, how about that pizza?”
    Kim chewed her lip.  “Are you sure you don’t mind staying in?”
    “Of course not, I prefer it.”
    Kim raised an eyebrow.  “Really?”
    “Yeah, really.  If I took you out wearing that I’d spend the evening having to threaten all of the other males drooling after you.”
    Her lips curled up as her hands artfully made their way down his torso and round his back until they rested on his ass.  “How about me?  How could I stand all those other females leering at this gorgeous tushie?”  Her wolf concurred; no other female should be looking at him.
    Ed, likewise, found her ass.  “Tushie?”
    “Mmmm hmmmm, gorgeous tushie.”
    “Besides, I’m glad I got a chance to meet Jamie.  I hope she likes me.”
    Kim was amazed at the sudden worry she noted in the usually confident and easy-going wolf.  “I’m sure she will.”
    He waggled his eyebrows.  “Well, what’s not to like?”
    She swatted his ass.  “You really care, don’t you?  About Jamie liking you?”
    “Yeah, I mean, I’m hoping, that I’m going to be around for a while.” 
    He gave her such a puppy dog look that she couldn’t help the chuckle that bubbled out of her, but she soon sobered. 
    “I think you’re my mate,” she blurted and then cringed at her forwardness.  Her beast, on the other hand, was dancing about gleefully.  The wolf was all for telling him the first day they met.
    Ed studied her quietly, and she was suddenly hit by a twinge of doubt that he didn’t feel the same way. 
    “I didn’t mean to freak you out.”  She started trying to wriggle out of his arms, but he clamped his hands on her body.
    “I feel the same way,” he told her thickly.  “I felt it the first moment I saw you and scented you – you smell like lavender by the way.” 
    He started nuzzling her neck and she let out a sigh of relief.  “You smell like clean clothes,” she murmured distractedly as he kissed her neck.
    A rumbling laugh shook his chest.  “Mmmm, sexy.”
    “Yes, it is,” she reassured him.  He was sexy, beautiful, funny, wonderful, smart and just perfect for her in every way.  At that moment, she knew she never wanted to live without him.
     
     
     

Chapter Seven
    Present day
    Kim tried not to look too guilty or too happy as Ed rubbed her thigh under the table.  They were eating a late breakfast; everyone but Harold Jr., Helena and Kurt were present.  The room was quiet except for the clicking of Judy’s knitting needles.  Kim couldn’t care less about Harold, less was definitely more with him, but she was starting to worry what the twin absences of Kurt and Helena
