Chapter 7

Rex tapped the door handle and watched as Larry made his way up to the huge log cabin. Moments later a man with the exact hair color and facial structure as Rex’s mother exited the cabin. He came to the edge of the porch and stood with his arms behind his back. His back made him appear as tall as Rex’s mother, but she had an inch on him. He bore her same eyes and lips. They could have been twins if he had boobs.

What was going on? Mom said the people he would stay with were friends. This guy looked more like a relative. Not to mention they bore the same last name. Had mom lied to him? She wouldn’t have. Would she?

Larry and the new guy had a conversation for a moment then Larry came back down to the car. He opened the door and waved Rex out.

“You have been honored and Mr. Chamberland has come out to greet you.”

Honored? Wasn’t it polite for him to greet his guest?

“Follow me and remain silent until Mr. Chamberland has spoken to you.” Larry’s eye deep and intense eyes told Rex how important that command had been.

Rex’s skin felt like fingers tickled across it as his head throbbed so hard a bomb might be readying itself to explode. He’d never felt so much tightness coursing through him. Nor had he experienced the dire urge to charge the man in front of him. The man was bigger than him, but the way he held himself screamed weakness. There was no air of authority or desire to respect. Not that there should have been. Rex hadn’t even met the man. New nothing about him. Nor was he one to gage or size up a man by his appearance, but something about the man’s set in stone glare set Rex’s teeth on edge. Something deep inside him longed to knock some sense into the man and teach him how to respect those who . . . who what? His mind screamed outranked him, but there was no rank among people. Not strangers at least.

“I assume you are Daniella’s child.”

Why would he not know that? Mom had been in touch with him. She told me her friend expected him.

“Can you not speak when spoken to?”

The sharp command pulled a small snarl from him, which had Mr. Chamberland stepping down. “Do not dare to presume to push your power on me. You are nothing here. Get it through your head now.”

Power? What was the man going on about?

“While you are here, Larry will be your escort. When he is not with you, you will remain in your cabin. There will be no wondering around the lands. Are we clear?”

“Mom told me I was to be shown around her homeland, while I am here. If that is not the case, then I will schedule me a flight home.” There was no way he’d stay where he was not wanted. Or where a man wanted to shove him inside a cabin for an entire three months.

“You will do as I tell you. Your mother was granted the right to send you here by our father, and I will uphold that, even if I do not wish to do so.”

He was not wanted here. Rex was kin to the man. Mom had lied to him. Just great. He was spending his summer before college in some hidden away town in the mountains with people who did not want him to leave a cabin. Just great.

“Sir,” A young woman smiled down at him as she held a phone out to Mr. Chamberland.

“Take a message.” He snapped.

“I’m afraid it is important, Sir.”

“Who is it?”

“Dalton from his office, Sir. He has news you must hear.”

“Stay there.” He pointed at me and then to a man wearing a gun belt low on his hips, who stood on the left edge of the house. “Keep an eye on him.” He waved Larry to follow him back inside the house.

Chapter 6

Rex had held onto the handlebar for the last thirty minutes. Every since Larry had turned onto a barely noticeable road. Might as well have been a roller coaster from all the bumps that bounced Rex around.

“How much further . . .”

Rex’s word died from his mouth when he saw a nice little cabin appear. Sitting across from it, there was another one, and a few feet down from it sat another identical one.

“There’s cabins out here?”

“Welcome to Chamberland.” Larry waved at the woman sitting on the front porch of the cabin on their left. “That’s Mrs. Timbers. She’s been here since before your mother was born.”

Made no sense. Mom had no heir about living in such a place. She always loved the city and all the shopping malls. Had that been why she left Chamberland? Rex would have hightailed it from here in a heartbeat. He could also see why Larry would be so closed off about who he was.

“How many people live in Chamberland?”

“More than you expected.” Larry slowed down and made a turn onto a smoother driveway.

“How many does that mean? Two hundred? Five hundred? More?”

“Here we are.” Larry put the car in park. “Mr. Chamberland will want to see you before I take you to your cabin. Just wait here.”

Chapter 5

No radio. No talking. Nothing, but the whooping of the tires and the whizzing of other cars passing by. Oh, and the oceanic blue eyes darting his way. Not just a dart of curiosity, but there was some sexual-intense heat floating around among those blue pupils. Rex would not have minded discovering just how much heat the two of them could muster up together.

The flirting glances last throughout the ride until they came to some small town that held a bunch of old rundown buildings. One of those Larry pulled not and up beside a gas pump that came from another century. Rex had only ever seen one on television. He would not have known how to work it.

“What are we doing here?”

“Getting gas. It’s the last town before we reach Chamberland.”

Chamberland? Didn’t recall mom saying anything about the town being named after her family. Lord have mercy, I should have paid better attention.

“If you need to use the restroom then best do so. We’ve got another forty minutes from here.”

“Forty?” He glanced at his watch. “You said we had a two hour ride. We’ve been on the road for an hour and forty minutes.”

“That was just to get our last turn off.” Larry turned lifted the spigot style handle and stuck it into the gas tank.

Just where in the hell was his mom from? He tugged his phone from his backpocket and frowned down at it when there was no signal.

The car door shut, jerking him from his mental cursing, until Larry dropped his next huge bombshell.

“You won’t have no cell service while you are up here.”

“You mean until we get to Chamberland, right?”

Larry shook his head.

“What am I to do?”

“There’s lots we could do.” Larry cranked the car and swung onto the road.

“We could do?”

“Yes, I’ve been assigned to shadow you while you are in town.”

“Shadow me?” What in the world? “Mom said her friend was going to . . .”

“Mr. Chamberland, has assigned me to be your tour guide while you are here this summer.” Larry smiled over at him. “It will be my honor to accompany you during the daytime.”

There he went again. He had clearly showed his dislike for same sex coupling, yet . . . he kept flirting with me. What was going on with Larry? More importantly, what was going on with him? He kept checking the guy out, even though he knew the man disliked same sex couples, or despised what he was. Or worse, was so far in the closest that he openly based people like himself. Either case, he wasn’t someone Rex mixed with.

Chapter 4

“Then you are with me, Sir.”

Sir? Eighteen years old did not constitute a Sir. What was up with this guy? He sure did not look old enough to be a friend of mom’s. Wasn’t go anywhere with him, even if he could have won the hottie of the year award.

“Who are you?”

“Mr. Southern sent me to bring you in.”

“Mr. Southern?” Mom had not told me who would be meeting me. Just that someone would. And who brought someone in from the airport.

“Yes, Sir.” The guy spun on his heels and made his way toward the sign that read luggage belt. “Come show me what bags are yours and then we can go.”

“I think I’ll just give my mom a call.” Rex pulled his phone from his pocket and hit speed dial. Mom answered on the first ring. “Do you know a Mr. Southern?” his mom said that was who was supposed to pick him up. She wasn’t to keen on the fact that someone else had been sent to fetch him, but told him to go with the young man. That Mr. Southern would send only the most responsible person after him. After her confirmation, Rex joined the young man and snagged up his three bags. Together they made their way outside and into a hug parking lot.

“How far away did you have to park?”

“Half way down.” The young man said as he looked backwards. “You going to be okay?”

Rex stood up taller and squared his shoulder. He wasn’t the most fit person in the world. Sure not like the man that spent hours upon hours in the gym, but he could make it to the car. He was sure of that. It was just the humidity outside sucking the life from him.

“Do you not workout on a regular basis?”

“Not all of us love the gym.” Rex hefted his tote bag further onto his back and muttered. “Like you do.”

“I do not go to the gym.” The guy walked in a silence for some time before stopping in front of a beat up Ford pickup truck. “Let’s put them in the bed and get on the road. We have a two hour ride ahead of us.”

“Two hours?”

“Yes, Sir.”

Damn it. Hadn’t thought it was that far from the airport. Not that Rex asked his mom many questions. He’d been ticked off and stubborn before he left. He should have asked more of his mom. Just like he should have asked more of the guy who came to pick him up. Least he could rectify that.

“Sorry, but I forgot to ask your name.”

“Larry.”

Simple plain name for a man that stood out among everyone. “Nice to meet you. Where exactly are we going?”

“Did you mother not tell you?”

“Somewhat, but not exactly.” If she had, Rex had not taken it in. all his mind had been focused on was the fact that his entire Summer had been ruined.

“Then I guess you’re in for an adventure.”

The tone in the man’s voice put him on edge, more than fill him with excitement. Wasn’t sure how much of a good thing that was. Guess, I’d just have to figure that out.

Writer's Ramble

Hi,

Won't be a story chapter today. I'm sort of having a writer's block. On this story as well as the one I'm revising. Sucks. But it happens. Until I can get over it, I'll flounder around like a fish out of water. Hopefully, it won't take long. Keep those fingers crossed that I'll have the next chapter of Life and Love Lesson up for you on Wed.

Chapter 3

The hoard of passengers seemed to move out of his way as he made his way through the tunnel to the main entrance of the airport. He wasn’t sure why. Most of the time people pushed and shoved him aside. He was on the smaller side. Took after his father side of the family on that aspect. Or so his dad said. His dad swore up and down that his great-grandfather barely stood five feet. Rex was taller than that, but compared to his mom and dad, and most other men his five-six stature was short. His mom stood over six feet and his dad was six-five. Made for some interesting family photos and more than one person asking if he was adopted. Always ticked him off and made his mom bite her fingernails. Dad would always pull her against his side and nuzzle her neck, whispering how he knew she’d never do such to him. Had she betrayed him? Not then. That was for sure. But had someone came along that . . . .Nah. Mom would never do such. She was beyond in love with dad. Wasn’t sure what there problem was, but . . . “

“Sir,” A deep, gruffy voice had Rex halting.

A bright red haired, almost seven foot guy stood to his left, holding a sign that read, Rex Chamberland. It wasn’t the simple plain jane sign that had Rex searching the man from head to toe. Nope. It was tight tank-top stretched across a smorgasbord of washboard abs. Man had to spend at least three hours a day in the gym.

“Are you, Rex Chamberland, Sir?”

Rex traced the abs up the broad, manly chest, stopping on the perfect contoured high-cheekbones, that begged to be licked.

“Sorry, that I bothered you, Sir.”

Rex let his eyes move on up to the man’s rounded eyes, pausing as the oceanic blue eyes filled his chest with rush that went straight to his cock. If he’d not been standing in the middle of airport he would have jumped the man then and there. That was for sure. He’d not given off any sign that he was into men, but there was something about the man that screamed, “I’m ready for a hard fuck.” Rex might be young, but he knew what a man wanted. He’d always been able to read a man’s body language and this man . . . He might be tightly woven, but he was ready to be taken and worn out so he could relax.

The man took a step back, which kicked Rex’s mouth into gear. “I’m Rex.”

Chapter 2

Rex sat in protest of leaving until three in the morning. Mom’s parting words before bed was if I didn’t get up and pack, that’d the summer would be a smelly one. Rex admitted defeat at three and made his way upstairs to pack and catch an hour or two sleep before he had to get up and head to the airport with his mom. Flight wasn’t going to be a long one, but from all the stories mom told of her childhood home there’d be nothing but small town living for me for the rest of summer vacation. Wasn’t sure how many times mom told me how well off I had it to be living in such a big city and around so many people. Mom’s hometown was some small backwater country place that sat off in the mountains between the border of North Carolina and Virginia. Said the closest town was the one known for some black and white show called Mayberry. Never saw. Didn’t sound interesting. One thing Rex had done while he sat in protest was talk with Seth and Calvin. Explain to them why their summer plans had been turned on their heads. Wasn’t fun being the one responsible for exploding a well laid out plan of attack for the last summer before college. Wasn’t fair.

“Would you like some water?” The flight attendant asked as she came to a stop in the aisle beside him.

“No, Thanks.”

Rex’s stomach was upside down. Not because of flying. He’d done that several times. All their vacation trips included planes. Nope. It was fact that he was less than half an hour away from walking into an area he knew no one. Not even who to look for when he deboarded the plane. All he knew that one of his mom’s childhood friends would be there to greet him and take him where he would be staying. Then it would a hotel living for the summer and following the rules laid out by whoever would take the time to show me around mom’s old haunting grounds. Her words.

The buckle seat belt light came on. As Rex did so, he took one last look out the side window and sighed. Long way down. Long way away from home. Every other minute of the flight he had wondered why he had not listened to Seth and just told him mom and dad he was going to do as he wished. He was eighteen. Graduated from high school. Legally he could leave at any given moment. He’d considered doing just that, but . . . . He did not want to make things worse on his parent’s already strained relationship. He knew his parents loved one another. Not only that, they were paying for his college education and if he left there went his education. One of his lifelong dreams had been to open his own coffee/computer/arts oasis. Seemed like an odd business, but he believed there would be a great nitch out among the world for the combination of a place that catered to all three areas. He wanted to go about it the right way. Legal way. That required education, which meant he needed money, so he could make money to save up for his dream. He might be losing out on his last Summer before college, but he would gain his dream in the end. That was more important. Right? Yes.

“Please exit the plane in an orderly fashion and thanks for flying with us.”

Chapter 1

Not another one. Rex cranked up the stereo, drowning out his mom and dad’s shouting match. He was not sure what was taking place between the two of them. They never once raised their voice to one another. Not until his eighteenth birthday. Last two weeks, they’d had a continuous shouting match. Wasn’t sure if it was the same topic or something different each night, but always ended up the same way, dad storming into the guest room and mom into their room crying until she fell asleep. It was old. I wanted my lovy, dovy parents back. I missed them making me sick with their PDA around my two best friends. It was two weeks from Summer Break and it was my last one before I left for college. I did not want it full of them yelling at one another. Nope. Wanted it full of time on the ranch, racing the horses with Seth and Calvin, and nights spent two towns away in the clubs.

The bedroom door flew open and mom’s short, hard working built frame body marched in and over to the stereo.

“Downstairs, please.”

“Mom, privacy much.”

“You should have answered when I knocked.”

“Didn’t hear you.”

“Guess not, dang gum radio up loud enough they could hear it ten miles down the road.” She grinned at me, then marched out the door, as she repeated herself about getting downstairs.

Took a few more minutes to tidy up the bedroom, since mom had glared at the dirty shirt laying on the floor. She was one for neatness. Always had been. Then I made my way downstairs, finding dad sitting on the left side of the room, on the sofa near the window, staring out it. Mom sat on the opposite side of the room, which put a good twelve feet between them. Mom stared at dad, but her lips were down and her typical happy filled blue eyes were dull and sad. It broke my heart. Filled me full of fear.

“What’s up?” He sat down on the sofa that sat in the middle of the room in front of the red brick fireplace.

Mom moved to the edge of her seat and sighed, putting my already anxious body on edge. He sure did not get what he was expecting.

“Rex, your dad and I need some time alone to work out our issue.”

Good. No divorce. He could take a deep breath. Or so he thought.

“We are going to send you to North Carolina for the Summer. You are going to stay with some of friends of mine.”

“What! Hell no.”

“Watch that mouth.” Dad snapped.

“Dad, it’s my last Summer before college.”

“You will be home many times before you graduate from College. You will see Seth and Calvin lots. Not like they aren’t going to same college as you.” Mom sat back, nailing me with her  the subject is decide it’s over with stare.

“Dad, help me out here. You always told me about your Summer before you started college.”

Dad stood and walked over to the doorway, turning back to look at mom and then sighed deeply before he walked out of the room. He’d never walked out before a conflict was resolved. What in the world? None of this made any sense.

“Mom, please. I’ll stay at Calvin’s. You know his mom won’t care. You won’t have to see me at all.”

“No, Rex. I’m sorry, but this is the way it has to be.” She shook her head and looked me in the eyes. “I’m sorry. This is my fault, but you will understand soon enough. Go pack your suitcases. I’ll take you to the airport tomorrow morning.” She got up and left the room, leaving him sitting there seething.

Prologue

Cool grass tickled his palms as he pushed himself up. He jumped to his feet, coming down on bending knees, scanning the area. His hand went behind his back, but his wand was . . .

Where was it? For that fact where was he? He knew all of Northern California’s mountains and he was not in them. What was the last thing . . .  Carp! Where was Daniella? She had just told him . . . No. He had to find her. He needed his wand. He needed to get to her. Tell her he knew she told him the truth. And how he knew it. It was beyond time to tell her who he was. And that he knew who she was. If his head did not hurt so darn bad, he could have figured out what had happened right after she told him they had just created their child.

He wasn’t helpless though. He came from one of the most powerful family among the Supernatural World and knew how to use his natural born given gifts. He could locate his mate and his unborn child. Bring them back together as a family. First things first, locate his mate. He had given her the perfect tracker the day he ran across her. She’d promised to never take it off and over the last four months she’d wore that purple stone necklace every day. Jut had to get home to the tracking board and let it’s do it’s magic. As much strain as it put on one’s body to travel through time and space without the use of a locked on location he’d have to. He took one more around, but gained no perspective from where he was. It was some nondescriptive barren circle among a cluster of pine trees. There was no birds chirping to give me a clue as to what native creatures called the area home, or none scurrying around the ground. There was nothing to aid me, so I had to do it the old fashion, and more challenging way.

He lifted his arms, walked in a circle four times and took on a melancholy tone as he chanted the phase that would transport him through air to his home in Northern California. There he could get to work on locating his mate and unborn child. That was all that mattered. Once he had them, he could take them home to the Virginia, North Carolina state line.
