Chapter 8

After Jamison learned Ruby was a famous author, he’d purchased every one of her books in the local bookstore and started reading. He wanted to understand what she found romantic. But he couldn't seem to find a discernible pattern, at least one that made sense for his situation. He wasn't a billionaire CEO of a company on Wall Street, and he wasn't a rugged sea captain in Victorian England. He certainly wasn't an alien spaceship pirate. He was just Jamison. A real estate investor and military veteran. He supposed being a shifter and part of the Justice Squad was slightly exotic, but he really started to wonder if he could ever live up to the fantasy in her books. When he got to the first sexy scene, he sat up straight in his chair, wide-eyed and breathless, growing more and more aroused and intimidated as the pages flipped by. He set down the book and gulped. How was he ever going to live up to that?

He stood from his chair and looked out the window at the snow on the backyard. It had dumped a lot last night. The storm the weather report had been warning about had finally hit and Fate Rock was covered in a blanket of white.

He picked up his phone and clicked over to mate.com, wondering how Ruby was doing in all this snow. She'd said she wanted to move into the property right away, even though he knew that the old house needed too much work to be lived in. He was suddenly incredibly worried about her. He gritted his teeth, not wanting to seem like he didn't think she could take care of herself. She clearly could. He swallowed his pride and opened the messenger.

"Hey, it's Jamison. I was just checking in to see how you were doing. If you closed on the house, congratulations."

He sent the message deciding to leave it at that. He didn't expect to receive a reply. But only a minute later, a new message buzzed on his phone.

"What do you know about heating systems?"

"I know a lot. I was an HVAC specialist before I started investing in properties. Why?"

"My heater seems to be broken. How much would it cost to replace it?"

"I wouldn't know until I saw the system."

"Could you recommend anyone in town?"

His heart leapt. "I could do it for you for free.”

"I wouldn't ask you to work on my house for free," she replied immediately.

"Then you could pay me the going rate. I could come out right away and take a look if you want."

"You would do that?"

"Of course I would. I would be happy to."

This could be his chance to show her that he was worthy of her attention. He didn't want to screw this up. Jamison was not a man who anyone would ever describe as insecure; he had a lifetime of experience and had seen and done things that would shock and boggle the mind of lesser men. But this woman was his mate, and her imagination, especially about men, seemed to be limitless.
