able to keep them happy. She knew she wasn’t the prettiest thing to look at, but she would do everything in her power to take care of them as they were taking care of her. She smiled. Maybe being chosen for Alpha wasn’t the worst thing to happen after all.

Chapter Seven
     
    “Hey, Piper, it’s time to get up.” Tripp kissed her eyelids and then her mouth.
    She stirred, stretching her body as she did. Then her eyes flew open.
    “What time is it?”
    “A little after seven. I think we wore you out last night, baby.”
    “Oh, God. I bet you’re hungry. Give me a few minutes to get dressed, and I’ll have your breakfast ready.”
    He handed her a cup of coffee. “Don’t worry about it, baby. We already had breakfast. We’re going out to finish up the garden. I didn’t want you to wake up and not know where we were, or I would have let you sleep.”
    “No, I needed to get up. I have to fix your lunch and get something started for dinner tonight.”
    “Don’t get upset. It’s okay, Piper. Like I said, we wore you out last night. You didn’t get a two-hour nap like we got.”
    “Still, I should have made your breakfast.”
    He watched her run around in the bedroom getting dressed. He shook his head. He didn’t know why she was so worried about having everything ready for them all the time. He’d have to ask her once they all knew each other better.
    “I’m going on outside to help Keith. We’ll be in around lunchtime.” He grabbed her around the waist as she hurried by and pulled her in for a kiss.
    She kissed him back and melted against him. He loved that about her. She was always so responsive to him.
    “See you in a few hours, baby.” He tromped down the stairs toward the kitchen and the back door.
    When he made it around to where Keith was running the tractor, he noticed a dorrie slinking around at the edge of the trees. He wished he’d brought the damn rifle with him. Keith had one, but he wouldn’t hear him above the noise of the tractor. He had to hope the thing would leave without attacking. He stood absolutely still and waited.
    After what seemed like forever, a rifle retort startled him. The dorrie yelped and ran back into the trees. He looked behind him, and Keith was standing up on the tractor holding the gun. He sat down and turned it off.
    “You okay?”
    “Yeah, how did you know?”
    “I saw you standing stock-still and figured that meant there was something out there. I looked around and spotted that damn dog thing.”
    “Thanks, man.” Tripp walked over and slapped hands with him.
    “I’m almost finished with the second pass. How many times do you think we need to go over it before we row it up?”
    Tripp walked to the middle of the garden and ran his hands through the rich, red earth. It looked like it ought to have clay in it, but there wasn’t any. It crumbled just fine in his hand.
    “I think a couple more and we can row it up.”
    “Sounds good to me. What are you going to do about Piper? You know she’s going to want to do some of the planting. Can’t say I blame her either.”
    “Hell, I don’t know. After seeing that dorrie, I don’t want her out here.”
    “Don’t you think that, with both of us out here watching, she would be okay?”
    “Maybe. I’ll think about it.”
    Keith nodded and, after handing him the rifle, started the tractor again. Tripp walked around carrying the gun and watching for anything else lurking around. He thought about her and how giving she was. She was absolutely the best woman they could have ended up with on a new planet. He was sure she would be upset if he didn’t let her come out and plant. Keith was right. She would probably be just fine with both of them watching out for her.
    He blew out a breath and continued walking around the area. Nothing moved other than the slight wind blowing the weeds surrounding the cleared land. The sun shone hot for a spring day. Of course he didn’t really know what the weather truly was like
