Love Bites: Maddie and Jasper

1

“Get the bags, will you?” Maddie asked, flipping her long brunette hair over her shoulder as she bent to close the trunk of their rental car. The Scottish twilight had passed during their drive, and Maddie was hard-pressed to make out the details of the graveled driveway where they’d parked. When Jasper didn’t answer, she turned around to see him halfway across the front yard of the Dancing Goat, the little bed and breakfast they’d booked an hour’s drive north of Edinburgh.

Pursing her lips, Maddie sighed and grabbed two of the oversized rolling suitcases before following her mate’s footsteps. Luggage toting aside, Maddie had to admit that she didn’t mind Jasper going up the steps ahead of her; the male was absolutely incredible to look at and his ass was at the top of her list of his best attributes.

At the top of the steps, the door was just opening. Light spilled out onto the porch, illuminating Jasper. He paused, turning to wait for her. He grimaced when he saw her dragging the bags up the stairs and in a moment he’d lifted them clear of the steps.

“I’ll come back for these, Madd,” he said, his voice belying his exhaustion. It was no wonder. They’d driven quite a way to get here, and that was after an hours-delayed flight in from London and navigating through Edinburgh proper to find the car rental place.

Jasper pushed the front door open further, then stepped back to allow Maddie to enter first. She smiled at her mate, a Southern gentleman if there ever was one.

“You’ve arrived quite late,” came a gruff voice. Maddie turned and blinked at the man, barely comprehending his words due to his thick-as-sludge Scottish burr. The innkeeper was a tiny, gray-haired man of indeterminate age and sour expression. Jasper stepped forward, offering the man a handshake. After studying them a long moment, the innkeeper shook hands with Jasper, but he didn’t look as though he approved a mite more.

Maddie stifled a giggle as the thought occurred to her that the innkeeper might feel put out by the sheer height difference between them all. Maddie was fully six feet even, and she was an easy head and shoulders taller than the elderly man. Seeing him next to six and a half foot tall Jasper was practically comical.

“You can call me Harrold. Let me tell you about the grounds and your room…” the innkeeper said, launching into what must have been an oft-practiced speech about his domicile. Maddie’s tired brain immediately tuned him out, focusing on scoping out her mate instead.

Maddie would almost swear to the fact that Jasper only got better looking the longer they were mated. His deeply tanned skin contrasted nicely against his light blond hair, grown out a little now from it’s buzz cut and starting to show just a hint of wave. With his stunningly crisp ocean-blue eyes and dazzlingly perfect smile, not to mention the sleek physique he’d earned with a lifetime of mercenary work, he was almost too good to be true.
