“Shut the hell up, you asshole.” He screamed at me. “You couldn’t keep it in your fucking pants could you?”
“What?”
“Don’t what me, boy. I know what you did to my daughter last night.”
How could he know? Did Emmalee really tell him? I didn’t think that was likely.
“You’re going to shut up and take responsibility. Do you fucking understand me?”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about, Bryce.” I yelled at him. “You clearly know what happened and I don’t know how, but I won’t lie to you. Yes, I slept with her. But she’s my mate, and I love her. I treated her with every ounce of respect.”
“Shut up you piss ant.” Bryce was furious. “You couldn’t wait?”
“Did you?” I asked him. “When you met Bree did you wait until you were married? The mating alone makes us as good as married in our culture.”
“No, the marking makes us married in our culture. Did you fucking mark her too asshole?” He wasn’t going to like my answer, so I just hung my head in shame, still kneeling in the water. “God dammit, you’re a real piece of fucking work.”
Bryce was pacing, running his hands through his auburn hair as his temper fumed. I took advantage of his distraction to rise from the water and step back on to the grass.
“So not only did you take my daughter’s virginity last night but you fucking marked her and knocked her up all in one fucking go. You had to hit the damn triple sevens didn’t you.”
“What?” I looked at him, stunned by his words. What did he just say? I felt the need to ask that out loud. “What did you just say?”
“Oh, so you didn’t know? You just banged her and left then?”
“That’s not what happened and you know it.” My temper was rising now. “I love her, I respect her, and I want to be with her in every way possible. I didn’t mistreat or abandon her at all last night. I took her back to her room and kissed her good night.”
“Where did you do it?”
“I don’t feel comfortable talking to you about my sex life with your daughter.” I felt the blood draining from my face.
“You better get comfortable right now, if I have to be ok with the idea of you deflowering her and stealing her away then you need to be pretty damn uncomfortable yourself.” His deep voice was growling at me menacingly.
“I had a date planned for us last night. I took her to dinner, and then after the sunset, we watched a movie on a projector in the mountains.”
“You took her on the dirt in the mountains?” He looked even more pissed.
“Hell no.” I felt offended by his words. I had a tent set up and an air mattress so we could be comfortable while we watched the movie.”
“So you planned it from the beginning.”
“NO!” I threw my hands up defensively. “No, I did not. I only planned for the movie. I wanted us to be comfortable, maybe cuddle and make out. But one thing led to another and it happened.”
“It just happened. That doesn’t sound too romantic. How could you be so cruel to my little girl?”
“It wasn’t planned, Bryce, I swear to that, but I promise you I treated her right. Ask her if you don’t believe me.” I heard Bryce growl in anger and frustration. I had a feeling that he would not be asking Emmalee, no matter what happened.
After several more minutes of pacing Bryce finally spoke again.
“Let’s get back to the house. You need to change, we have an appointment.”
“An appointment?” I felt my heart stop. “You’re going to try and make her have an abortion? I won’t let you.”
“No, I’m not. I’m going to go take you two to the court house. You’re going to get married, today.”
“Today?” I felt my stomach drop. “What about our friends and family? What about Emmalee’s dreams for a big wedding?”
“You can still have that. The big ceremony and celebration, later anyway. Right now, you’re going to get married and make an honest woman out of her.”
I followed Bryce back to the house, my clothes still dripping and my heart pounding too fast. Emmalee was just coming into the yard where her mother and younger sister Katie had just pulled up when we got home.
“Hey sweety, what’s wrong?” Bree asked Bryce as we walked up.
“Carter, why are you soaking wet and what happened to your eye?” Emmalee asked me.
I just locked my eyes onto my mate and walked to her. I pulled her into my arms and hugged her close.
“Stop, you’ll get me all wet.” She pushed against me playfully as she giggled. I just ignored it and buried my nose in her neck where I had bitten her, inhaling deeply.
“He was right.” I smiled into the curve of her neck.
“Who was right?”
“Your dad.”
