Ravishing Elizabeth

by J. J. Marstead

  mentioned everything should be there later this afternoon. I thank the store owner, and then we

  leave the store to catch a bite to eat. We were lucky they had every single item in stock at the store.

  R a v i s h i n g E l i z a b e t h ‘ W h i t e T i m b e r P a c k ’

  I cringed when I saw the amount being charged to Samuel’s credit card, Elizabeth was worried about

  it the amount spent, but I ensured her that Samuel knew how much everything would cost roughly,

  she was hesitant at first but then she finally nodded in response then dropped the subject.

  We find a little Italian place not far from the furniture store, we head into the restaurant; a

  waiter greets us at the door, ushering us to our seats. We order our drinks and an extra-large

  pepperoni and cheese pizza.

  “Are you happy with everything we got today?” she nods biting her lip worriedly.

  “I just hope Samuel, doesn’t get mad at how much today cost,” she mutters looking down at

  the table. The waiter comes back and brings our drinks over leaving the table quickly to attend to

  the other customers.

  “Don’t worry about Samuel, he told me to make sure you spent the money for stuff for the

  house. Elizabeth, he wanted you to.” She tries to hide the smile that starts to stretch from the

  corners of her mouth.

  “I can’t believe that in two days all three of us will be mated,” she says and I groan just

  thinking about having her under me, moaning my name, begging me to mark her and make her

  come. My jeans start to get a little tighter, causing me to shift in my seat; she blushes and looks

  away from me. Well, I guess she knows why I’m adjusting myself and what I was thinking about. The

  waiter comes back with our pizza, man, am I starving. We dig into the hot cheesy goodness, as soon

  as the pizza hits my tongue, tastes heavenly.

  It doesn’t take long for us to finish up the pizza, the waiter comes over, asking if we’re done,

  nodding that we are he leaves the check with us.

  “We better get going to the house to see if the delivery guys showed up yet,” Elizabeth nods

  and get out of the chair, I throw some money for the bill with a tip down on the table and I get up, heading to the door, nodding to the waiter then we leave. I left the spare key with the owner of the store, so if we weren’t there they could go in and put everything inside instead of leaving it all

  outside for people to see.

  Elizabeth is vibrating as we make our way to the house. She can’t wait to place everything

  where she wants it to go. When we left the restaurant she was jumping around in her seat while

  giggling and mumbling to herself about where she was going to place everything. She mentions that

  she hopes the delivery guys didn’t damage any of the furniture. I know for a fact if they did and it upsets her, it’s going back and they’ll exchange it if I have anything to say about it. I warned the owner that I wanted to furniture in top shape when it arrives at the house, with how much it all cost, yeah, I would think they would be a little extra careful. I’ll be letting Samuel, know that I will be paying for half of everything; it doesn’t seem fair for him to pay for it all. He’ll probably grumble about it, but hell she’s my mate too and I want like to contribute as well.

  R a v i s h i n g E l i z a b e t h ‘ W h i t e T i m b e r P a c k ’

  Three hours later…

  I lean in the doorway watching my lovely mate, she’s standing in the middle of our living

  room looking around at all the furniture in place, and she sighs happily. I jaunt up behind her circling my arms around her mid-section embracing her close to me. She meagers into me, putting the back

  of her head on my shoulder, I place a small kiss, on her soft skin on her neck she moans softly,

  turning her head giving me extra access to her slender neck.

  “Are you happy with how everything turned out, mate?” I whisper tenderly in her ear,

  causing a shivering effect to run through her body, and I chuckle, she’s easily affected by me, it’s a major turn on. She turns around in my hold, throwing her arms around my neck, kissing me.

  “I love it,” she says, the response causes me to smile down at her.

  “Are you ready to head out? Your parents said they were going to order out tonight,” I look

  down at my watch.

  “And Samuel should be at your parents in about three hours,” she nods her head, grabbing

  her bag, flinging it over her shoulder.

  “We have to start packing tonight, Samuel has all his things packed and it’s being delivered

  to the house tomorrow morning, and I’ll be moving all of your things to the house tomorrow. While

  you’re gone with the girls for your girly day,”

  She squeals we walk to the front door, heading outside; she takes off towards the car,

  opening the door and slamming it shut. I can’t help myself but chuckle shaking my head, running

  around the car, I open my door, getting in, putting the key in the ignition, turning it over we head to her parents.

  I’m pretty happy with how the day has gone, I got to spend time with Elizabeth as well as

  pick up everything that we needed for the house. Overall it turned out to be a good day but it was

  also a productive one. I’m going to drop my lovely lady off at home, then head off to my parents and pack all of my things. Elizabeth will be home packing up all of her stuff and Samuel will head over

  after supper to help her, give them some time together as well because it will be one hell of a time tomorrow to work some alone time in with her. The girls will eat us alive if we tried to take Elizabeth away.

  R a v i s h i n g E l i z a b e t h ‘ W h i t e T i m b e r P a c k ’

  I hope everything went well today for Elizabeth and Caleb. After they had left the store, Caleb sent me a text letting me know that they had picked up pretty much everything that was needed for the house. He also mentioned that Elizabeth’s worried that I’ll be pissed about how much was spent. I gave her my card to get what was needed and what she wanted for the house, I

  could never be angry with her for something I told her to do, or anything for that matter.

  It’s crazy to think that the day after tomorrow we’ll be mated, and in our own house. I can’t

  wait to actually begin living my immortal life with her, these past two hundred years have been long and lonely, well, maybe not sexually but having that connection with someone who’s destined to be

  yours for eternity, now that’s something to cherish. To say I’m over the moon happy would be an

  understatement.

  Caleb mentioned about paying half of the bill for everything, I know it’s a losing battle with

  him, so I agreed. He too wants to be able to provide for our mate, and what am I to deny him. He’s

  more than welcome to help. I’ve collected a lot of money over the years; I wouldn’t say billions but enough for all three of us to live a happy decent life.

  Chapter 17

  I’m just sitting here in the kitchen, having a quick breakfast with my mother before we head

  out, for our spa day, I can’t wait. My mother made an amazing breakfast this morning, pancakes,

  bacon, sausage, and eggs with toast. It’s was delicious, I’m stuffed; I think I ate way too much. My mother takes our plates and puts them in the sink; she runs warm water on them, she turns around

  smiling.

  “You ready to get pampered today, sweetheart?” she comes up to me, placing her hands on

  my shoulder, giving them a light squeeze.

  “I sure am. I can’t wait, it’s going to feel amazing, getting all d
one up,” she laughs then stops

  her eyes shining as she looks down at me.

  “My baby girl is all grown up, turning eighteen tomorrow and you’re going to be mated

  tomorrow… where did the time go? It feels like just yesterday you were just a little girl running

  around the house…” she stumbles on her words; I put my arms around her neck.

  “Mom, don’t worry. You’re not losing me. I’ll always be your little girl and think of it this

  way, you’re gaining two sons,” she chuckles, while she holds me.

  “I guess you’re right. They really do love you, Elizabeth, you’re lucky to have found them,

  well, they found you,” we both laugh, my mother looks at her watch, and gasps.

  “Sweetheart, we have to get going. We still need to pick up Tori and Kelly at the Jackson’s

  and we don’t want to be late for our appointment,” she mumbles as she rushes out of the kitchen

  My father’s not home this morning, he left early to help Caleb and his father move Caleb’s

  things into the house. He said it was better than staying home in a quiet house all day.

  “Elizabeth, are you coming or what? We don’t want to be late for our appointment,” she

  snaps me out of my little day dream.

  “Yeah, I’m coming.”

  R a v i s h i n g E l i z a b e t h ‘ W h i t e T i m b e r P a c k ’

  I make my way to the front door, where my mother is standing there patiently waiting for

  me. On the way to the Jackson’s, I notice something out of the corner of my eye moving in between

  the trees, looking closer, my eyes widen when I notice a huge grizzly bear.

  Hmmm… That’s weird; I don’t remember bear shifters being in town.

  “Mom, I think I just saw a grizzly in the woods. I’m pretty sure it was a shifter just by the size

  of it, I don’t remember any bear shifters being in town,” my mother looks over at me for a second

  before her eyes shoot back to the road.

  “Well, if I remember correctly, I think Mary mentioned that Darren said there’s a bear clan

  that just moved to the edge of town, not sure who they are, never met them,” well, that explains

  why I saw the grizzly. I wonder if they’re nice folks. Never met a bear shifter before, I’m assuming they are pretty big considering their shifter form is huge, well from what I just saw, they seem huge.

  I lean back in the chair at the spa with my eyes closed, enjoying my feet being rubbed. Now,

  this is so relaxing. It’s nice that Kelly could come today, she seems to be a little tense today for some reason, but as soon as we got here and she started getting pampered and relaxing she seemed to be

  better after that. I know it must be hard on her, about tomorrow. The one guy she thought she

  would mate and spend the rest of her life with. I feel for her. I turn my head, looking at Kelly with her eyes closed while she gets her feet massaged.

  “Kelly…I know today and tomorrow will be hard on you considering…I just want to let you

  know that I’m truly sorry for how everything turned out.” She turns and gives me a friendly smile.

  “Oh Elizabeth, it does feel a little weird but it feels right, I wasn’t meant to be with Caleb, I

  know deep down, we weren’t. It’s just, my wolf has been antsy lately and I’m not hundred percent

  sure why,” nodding, I really hope she finds the happiness she deserves it, she really does.

  My mother mentions that she also made reservations at the hair salon to get our hair and

  nails done after we’re finished here. Today’s turning out to be a pretty good day; I wonder how the

  guys are doing with moving everything to the house. After we’re done getting all dolled up, I need to get home and finish packing up my things, nothing like being last minute.

  My mother tells us we need to get going to the hair salon; the spa was nice, felt nice getting

  a foot massage. We all get ready to leave the spa, my mother pays for all of us, which I mention was too much, so did Tori and Kelly, but it seems my mother wasn’t having any of it, she said she plan

  the day so she is paying.

  R a v i s h i n g E l i z a b e t h ‘ W h i t e T i m b e r P a c k ’

  We’re on our way to the hair salon by foot; the salon isn’t too far from the spa. My mother

  mentions that it would be nice if I got so highlights and maybe a little trim, while she touches my

  hair, maybe get my nails done too, and the day of pampering continues. My mother stops in front of

  the salon and opens the door, holding it open for us.

  60 minutes later…

  I look at myself in the mirror with the blond highlights; it brings out the color of my eyes

  more. Wow… it looks amazing. Kelly got a little trim, Tori got some more highlights and my mother,

  well, she went all out, cut and highlights. Everyone look’s incredible with their hairdos. After our hair and nails are all done, my mother pays once again, even though when we protested, that we

  can pay for this, she wasn’t going for it.

  My mother gave us a stern look and told us to drop it, she was paying and that was it. After

  leaving the hair salon, my mother drops Tori and Kelly off at the Jackson’s, Kelly’s had to pick up her car. After dropping them both off, we head home to pack up the rest of my things that need to be

  packed for the guys to take over to the house.

  My mother parks the car in the driveway and we head into the house and up to my room.

  My mother places a box on the bed, and I grab a bag, throwing as many clothes as I can into it, while my mother fills the box. She looks at the picture of her, my father and me before putting it in the

  box; she tilts her head up looking at me.

  “I’m going to miss you, sweetheart,” she whispers she places the photo into the box. My

  eyes start to mist; I make my way around the bed to embrace her.

  “I’m going to miss you too, mom.” She sniffles while holding me to her, not wanting to let

  me go.

  “We should finish packing before the guys get here,” I mention with my face stuck in her

  hair, she chuckles lightly letting me go, she wipes her eyes. She smiles at me, holding my face in her hands; she places a small kiss on my forehead.

  A throat clearing behind us snaps us out of it; we turn and see my father starting there with

  a smile on his face.

  “Caleb should be here in a bit to help with your things,” he says, shaking his head as he exits

  the room.

  R a v i s h i n g E l i z a b e t h ‘ W h i t e T i m b e r P a c k ’

  All the boxes are downstairs at the entrance; we’re just waiting on Caleb to show up. My

  mother yells at me from the kitchen, well, I better go and see what she’s yelling about. When I get

  into the kitchen my mother is setting a dish of sandwiches out on the table with paper plates.

  “You hungry?” she asks grabbing the napkins from the counter, putting them beside the

  plates, and on cue, my stomach rumbles, chuckling, smiling I make it to the table, and sit down.

  “Yes, all this packing got my appetite in full gear,” my father snickers at me, sticking my

  tongue out playfully at him, he laughs.

  “You would think your still ten years old with the way you are sometimes,” he says grabbing

  a sandwich.

  “Well, I’m as old as you are most of the time, dad,” it’s my mother’s turn to snicker; my

  father looks at me wide-eyed with his mouth slightly agape.

  “Oh Roman, she got you,” my mother laughs out to the point where she has tears filling her

  eyes, my father starts to laugh at my mother who’s holding her side.

  “Yeah, sh
e takes after you, my sweet wife,” he says, while trying to keep a straight face but

  he fails horribly and lets out a bellowing laugh.

  God, I’m going to miss this. My parents, this… Having lunch and laughing. I know we can still

  do this after, but it won’t be totally the same. I’ll be different; I’ll be a woman living with my mates, with adult responsibilities. I’m going to miss these childish moments.

  A few minutes later we’re done eating our sandwiches; Darren and Caleb show up, they

  come through the back door, Caleb smiles when he sees me.

  “Good morning Alpha, Caleb. Would you like a sandwich?” my mother asks, holding the dish

  out to him.

  “Of course, if you have extra, that is,” Darren mentions tapping his stomach a few times; my

  mother giggles, while Caleb shakes his head at his father.

  “I wouldn’t have offered if there wasn’t enough,” my mother snips, Darren’s eyes widen and

  Caleb and my father chuckle. My mother looks at Darren with innocent eyes. He turns to my father.

  “You have one fine mate, Roman.”

  My father nods, “I sure do, if she has to put up with me every day,” my father chuckles and

  everyone in the room bursts out laughing. Caleb and Darren dig in grabbing sandwiches, putting

  them on their plates.

  I take a seat beside Caleb at the table; putting his arm on my shoulder.

  R a v i s h i n g E l i z a b e t h ‘ W h i t e T i m b e r P a c k ’

  “How was it, moving all your stuff to the house?” I ask, Caleb chews then swallows smiling

  he places a kiss on the side of my head.

  “It went well, I’m all moved in. All that’s left is your things. Then we’re all set,” he says,

  taking another bite of his sandwich. Tonight will be the last night in my room upstairs, in this house with my parents. It’s crazy, I’ll be in my own house tomorrow night, and I’m so ready.

  After Darren and Caleb are all finished, my father, Darren, and Caleb, start loading up boxes

  and bags in the trucks. Caleb gives me a kiss before leaving to unload the first trip at the house. I mentioned I could go and help them but he said I should stay here and enjoy some time at home
