Eric had brought Paul home that evening from the hospital. Jennifer had broken his nose, given him various bruises, and told him who knows what. He was already healing from the physical damage, but her words kept swirling around in his head. Layla was in her bedroom, FaceTiming with Kai on her phone while Embry was laying on her bed, relaxed and calm.

"Dad, stop. I want to talk to her." Paul said.

Eric stopped with Paul in her doorway. Embry sat up, his body instantly tensing, ready to jump up and protect Layla.

"I gotta go, Kai. I'll call you back later, yeah?" Layla said.

"You better. I love you, bitch." Kai said.

"Love you." Layla said, turning her phone off.

Embry stood up and walked over to Layla, pulling her into his arms, as close as he could get her. She leaned her head on his arm and looked over at Paul in the doorway. His face was already looking better than it had a few hours ago.

"Are you okay?" Layla asked, feeling Embry trying to tug her behind him.

"Yeah. I'll be okay. Thanks...for what you did." Paul said, looking down. "Why did you do it, though? I've done nothing but hurt you." he asked.

"The same reason I'd do it for Kai or Jake or Leah or anyone here...we're family, even if we are batshit crazy." Layla said.

"What about me?" Embry asked, grinning.

"I'd kill a bitch over you." Layla replied, looking up at him. "I nearly did."

"Twice." Embry said.

"And to think, you kept choosing that cow over me." Layla said. "I think I'm still upset at you for that." she added, moving away.

"What? No." Embry said, trying to pull Layla back to him.

"Yes. I think I gave in a little too quickly. Yeah, way too quickly." Layla said, winking at Paul and Eric, letting them know she was playing. "You know, I have a date scheduled for tonight, actually. Patrick. I better start getting ready!"

"Tough luck, man. Looks like you're outta here." Paul said, going along with Layla.

Layla grinned, seeing Embry going from looking a little panicked to downright possessive. He bent slightly and picked Layla up, wrapping his muscular arms around her and lifting until she was eye level with him.

"Can Patrick do that?" Embry asked. "Can he make you scream until you pass out?" he growled.

"I think that's our cue to leave, Paul." Eric said, going on down the hallway with his son.

"Hmm, we'll find out tonight, I'm sure." Layla said, trying to keep a straight face.

Embry growled even louder, tightening his hold on Layla. His wolf demanded that they go out and find this Patrick and remove him from the picture. He wasn't about to give Layla up without a fight.

"You know I'm kidding, right?" Layla asked, seeing the murderous look in Embry's eyes.

"Can I still go kill him?" Embry asked.

"I made him up, but yeah, sure." Layla said, wrapping her arms around his neck. "Now you know how I felt whenever I saw you with that cow, or heard about you two..."

"I still think I was more tortured than you were." Embry said.

"It was your own fault. I offered you all this, but no. Nope." Layla said, sighing. "When I think about all the times I had to get myself off..."

"Tell me?" Embry said, grinning. "In explicit detail. I might have to take my shorts off."

"Not a chance." Layla laughed. "Maybe if I tie your hands to the bed, I will."

"I'm not sure if that's kinky or cruel." Embry said, pouting.

"Both." Layla said. "Definitely both. See, after I tied you up, I'd describe it all in such wonderful, amazing detail...and then start touching myself. The only thing you could do it watch. No touching, no sex, nothing else."

Embry actually whimpered at her words, imagining it. He'd snap her headboard into pieces within seconds and pull it behind him to get to her.

"Embry?" Layla asked, smirking.

"Yeah?" he replied, his voice gravelly.

"I'm not sure what you're thinking of, but keep thinking of it." Layla said.

"Why?" Embry asked.

"Because you're hard as a rock and I like it." Layla said.

"Fuck, I love you." Embry said. "I'm keeping you."

"Damn right you are, brother." Jake said, standing beside Leah in the doorway. "We came to check on Paul, but here we have our own private show."

"Get it on!" Leah said, whistling. "Let's see some ass!"

"Mine or Embry's?" Layla asked, leaning her head backwards.

"I've seen Embry's." Leah said, sounding bored. "Jake's is better. So yours."

"Ooo, but Embry's is really nice. I don't blame you. Not everyone has this bubble butt." Layla said. "We could go shower together and lock the door." Layla suggested. "You could see this TnA."

"What? No!" Embry said. "Mine!"

"I'd break down the door to watch that." Jake said.

Layla laughed, sliding out of Embry's arms, pulling Leah to the bathroom and shutting the door, locking it.

"Oh, yeah! Show me them titties, baby!" Leah called out, trying not to laugh.

Embry and Jake made a mad dash for the door, banging hard on it.

"Let me in! I wanna see!" Jake called out.

"Oh, fuck, right there, Leah! Harder!" Layla yelled, adding in a moan. "Shit, you're better than Embry at that!"

The door splintered apart, showing a very worked up Embry and an equally horny Jake, both breathing hard. When they saw both girls nearly laying in the floor laughing, they stopped, realizing they'd been tricked.

"You two aren't going at it?" Jake asked, sounding disappointed.

Layla shrugged and looked over at Leah, pulling her face towards her and kissing her. She felt Leah being pulled away from her, seeing Jake having her over his shoulder and running out of the house. She giggled until Embry walked up to her, whispering.

"That was pretty hot, but those lips are mine from now on." Embry said, pulling Layla into a deep, passionate kiss.

"I can deal with that. So, you love me, huh?" Layla asked.

"We both do." Embry said. "Me and my wolf." he added, tapping his chest.

"Yeah? Your wolf form is pretty gorgeous." Layla said. "I think I'll keep you both."

"You couldn't get rid of us if you tried. We'd follow you to the ends of the Earth and beyond." Embry said.

"Give me a 30 minute head start and let's test that...unless you're not up for a chase." Layla said, grinning.

"Start running, little red. The big bad wolf is coming!" Embry said, watching Layla take off.

Jake walked up to stand beside Embry, looking thoroughly sated, his hair standing every which way. Embry could definitely smell the bonding scent that was unique to Leah all over him.

"You know Layla's phone was ringing up a storm? I heard it so I grabbed it on my way out here." Jake said, holding up the pink iPhone. "She's got 13 missed calls. And 12 voicemails." Jake said.

"From Kai?" Embry asked, looking over at the other male.

"No...dude...from her mother." Jake said. "I listened to one. Her mom is coming. Here. Well, Seattle, but that's really close to here. Said she's bringing her husband, that Stefan dude that pissed Layla off so much. And they've adopted a girl they're bringing here for Layla to meet. They've rented a ballroom up in Seattle and said Layla has to be there."

"Layla will be pissed off." Embry said.

"Should we tell her or just delete everything?" Jake asked.

"If I do that, she'll be pissed at me. I just got her, I'm not going to make her mad and freeze me out." Embry said. "We'll deal with it. She can't be that bad."

Oh, how wrong he is.
