"I'm 39, single, never married, no kids. I was engaged once. She cheated, I caught her, the same story happened a million times." He said.
"Parents deceased, no siblings, and directing is my life." He added.
"You're very good at it." Tamera said.
"Thank you, so what do you love to do?" He asked.
"I love movies and reading. Yes, boring, I know." She laughed.
"Not at all, without people like you. I wouldn't have a job." He smiled.
"I have to say this. Please don't think of me as one of those people. But I love "Changed!" I've seen every single episode, multiple times. I have them all purchased on Vudu and N*****x." She blushed.
"Wow, you're gonna make me blush, thank you!" Richard smiled.
"Okay, I'll stop now." She smiled back.
"So you're the one? We got a report that some crazed fan had viewed our episodes a million times." He said.
"Okay, now you're making fun of me." She blushed.
"Not at all, I'm flattered and pleased." He laughed.
"So who's your favorite character?" He asked.
"Dax." She blushed.
"And you know his real name. So, if I introduce you, will you go all fan girl on him?" He asked.
"Honestly? I'd probably pass out." Tamera said.
"Dax's a good guy. I'll make sure I'm close to catching you if you pass out." He smiled.
"Well shit, she's into Dax and she's exactly his type. Maybe the age difference will deter her. I've just decided to stay a few more days, I can tell she's attracted to me." He thought.
Lunch went great and Rich asked her to join him for dinner. They had dinner and lunch Saturday and Sunday. He left on Monday. He was returning on Thursday before the crew to check on the room. The equipment arrived on Wednesday, which was cutting it short. They hired some extra contractors to work and get it done. On Thursday, a little after 11am, there was a knock on her door.
"Come in." She replied.
"It's your favorite director." Richard walked in.
"Rich!" She smiled.
He walks in, and she stands. He kisses her cheek and she blushes.
"Please have a seat. Let me update you. So, the equipment didn't get here until yesterday. We hired extra guys to get it done. The finishing touches won't be done until Friday mid-afternoon. But it will be ready by Friday night." She explained.
"That's not a problem. So quit stressing, we actually don't need it until Saturday. Dax had a family emergency and won't arrive until Saturday morning." He said.
"I'm sorry to hear that. I hope everything is, okay?" She said.
"Yes, it will be. It just delayed him a day." He replied.
"Well, if you like, we can go see the progress so far?" She asked.
"Lead the way." He answered.
"So in that corner will be the snacks and drinks. There will be a small refrigerator beside it. In this corner will be the large table and chairs for you to sit at to discuss business. I went with 30 reclining seats. And we have 30 folding. There will be 20 seats at the table and the other 10 will be in the closet."
"Wow, this is amazing. And the electronic equipment?" He asked.
"I went with all your specs and added more for others to use. They can log in to their accounts like N*****x, Vudu, Hulu, etc., DVDs, and flash drives can also be used. As well as your professional recording equipment." She explained.
"Wow! You're amazing. Can I hire you as my personal assistant?" He smiled.
"No, sorry. I'm very happy here." She declined.
"My loss." He frowned.
"So lunch and dinner?" He asked.
"Sure." She answered.
Author time out.
So I saw another of my favorite authors do this and thought it was so amazing. I wanted to copy her a little. I hope she takes it as a compliment.
"Hey author?" Dax said.
"Yes?" I answered.
"I think your readers would like to know what my movie is about." Dax replied.
"Oh really? Whose story is this?" I asked.
"Mine, of course." He laughed and winked.
"Fine! Changed is about a werewolf family. The head of the family is Jerry. He lost his real family and over the years when he would rescue someone, he would bite them and change them to make them a permanent part of his family. There are 2 sons, Dax and Jake, and one daughter, Lainey. There are a few others, but these are the main characters. They have enemies and love stories etc. it's very interesting to watch. Love, action, drama, villains, what's not to love!"
"Thanks for explaining darling." Dax said.
I rolled my eyes.
"I saw that." Dax said.
Now back to the story.
"I see you have caught the eye of a certain director." Sheila said.
"We are just acquaintances. He hates to eat alone." Tamera said.
"Tell me you're not that naïve?" Sheila replied.
"Now, why would he be interested in me? He's gorgeous, rich, famous, and could have his pick. I'm fluffy, divorced, and a mom to 2 18-year-olds." Tamera explained.
"Why do you sell yourself short? You're beautiful inside and out. So, you don't have a perfect model body. So, you have kids, big deal. A lot of people love extra cushion, and kids. Some people can never have kids!" Sheila said.
"I'm sorry. I know you guys struggled for 18 years to have kids. I just don't feel worthy. I'm super self-conscious about my weight. But I'm working on it." She replied.
"I know, but you need to mentally work on it as well." Sheila responded.
"I'll try." Tamera said.
"So, to change the subject. How excited are you about meeting your crush?" Sheila asked.
"Terrified!" Tamera said.
The next day, the room is ready and the cast arrives. Rich is having them all check in and then meet in the room.
"Okay everyone, I'd like you to meet Tamera. She's the events' manager here. She created this room for us." Richard introduced.
"Tamera meet Lainey." Richard introduced them.
"Nice to meet you." Lainey said.
"I'm so honored to meet you. You've got the best role." Tamera said.
"Oh I like her, Richie." Lainey smiled.
"This is Jerry." Richard said.
"So nice to meet you. I have to admit sometimes I hate your character. He's a real hard ass at times." Tamera replied.
"Yeah, that makes two of us! Some of the roles get on my nerves." Jerry chuckled.
"And this is Jake." Richard said.
"Very nice to meet you." Tamera replied.
"Nice to meet you." Jake said back.
Rich introduces her to a few of the crew members. Then they all go to their rooms. They are all meeting for dinner.
Later at dinner.
"So is everything good with Dax? He got his family thing sorted out?" Lainey asked.
"Yes, all sorted. He arrives in the morning." Richard responded.
"Lucky us." Jake replied.
"So Tamera, how long have you worked here?" Jerry asked.
"About a month, what gave it away?" Tamera laughed.
"Your southern accent. What part are you from?" Jerry asked.
"Virginia." She responded.
"Lovely state." Jerry said.
"You have a family?" Lainey asked.
"Yeah, my mom and dad. And I have 2 18 year olds in college." Tamera answered.
"What were you 15 when you had them?" Jake said.
"Jake!" Richard warned.
"It's okay. I was 19." Tamera replied."Wow, at 37 you look good. I would have guessed 30, maybe 32." Lainey said."So no husband?" Lainey asked."No longer in the picture." Tamera responded."Run out on you as soon as the kids left the nest, did he?" Jake remarked."Last warning Jake!" Richard warned."Actually, as soon as they were settled in college, we had both decided to part ways. We only were together for the kids. He was a good provider and dad. We just didn't love each other. At least he wasn't like some of the husbands a few of my friends had. A man who was abusive and a horrible father figure. I've run into guys like that from time to time. If you will all excuse me, I've lost my appetite." Tamera replied.Tamera leaves everyone shocked at the table. Then they all glared at Jake. He grins and drinks his drink. Everyone was still glaring at Jake several minutes after Tamera had left."You're an asshat!" Lainey yelled."Jake, you will apologize to her and keep your mouth shut
"Well, if there's anything anyone needs, just text me. The fridge is stocked and the pastries are on the table. Your dinner reservations are set for 7pm." Tamera said."Thanks. You will be joining us, of course?" Rich asked."Oh well, I hadn't planned on it." Tamera responded."I insist. Besides, everyone got to meet you and chat, and I didn't." Dax said."Okay. I can join you. All of you for dinner." Tamera said."Great darlin." Dax smiled."Omg, every time he says that in the movie, I about go crazy with desire. Hearing it in person sends a tingling sensation to my girl parts, I'm going to need new dry panties." Her mind kept on."See you at dinner." She smiled. Tamera quickly leaves and goes to her office."I can see I've already lost. I didn't get that much reaction from her." Richard responded."She's intoxicating and mine." Dax smiled."I figured as much. Just be careful. She's a special lady and your lifestyle is complicated where she's concerned." Richard explained."It's work
OMG, did he just say girlfriend? Tamera thought to herself. Dax scowls, pissed off at her ignoring Tamera. She blushes but comes back to take her order."And what would you like to order?" The Waitress asked."I'll take the steak and cheese sub with only tomato and mayo." Tamera answered."We have very tasty salads." The Waitress said while she looked pointedly up and down at her body.Tamera is embarrassed and shocked at her treatment."Let me.." Dax started to say."I am well aware of everything WE serve here. I gave you my order, and I'd also like a Dr.Pepper." Tamera said."Diet?" Waitress asked."No, regular. Now be a good little waitress and fetch our food for us." Tamera ordered.Dax is seething mad by this point. He couldn't believe the nerve of this waitress. She may be beautiful on the outside, but she's rotten on the inside."I hope you aren't letting what she said bother you." Dax said."I try to ignore shallow people. Karma is a bitch. What comes around goes around. She j
"Hi, how are you?" She asked."Hello, I'm good." Tamera responded."I just checked in. This is my first time here, and it looked like you know your way around." The random girl said."Yes. I'm Tamera. I actually work here." Tamera explained."I'm Mona. Wow, you're so lucky! What do you do?" Mona finally introduced herself."I'm the events' manager. I plan all the events for the resort." Tamera explained."Oh wow, this is fate! I'm here to check out the resort for my wedding!" Mona smiled."Wow, congrats on your pending wedding." Tamera congratulated her."Thank you! We've been family friends since we were 5. We dated in high school off and on. He needed to sew his wild oats, if you know what I mean. But he always comes back to me." Mona said."Wow, that's a lot of history." Tamera said."Yeah. We have tons of history. And it's hard for him. He's drop dead gorgeous and women throw themselves at him. He's a man. So I always forgive him. It's not his fault the tramps hound him." Mona sai
"It's just, well I was just wondering." Tamera hesitated."Wondering what?" Dax asked."We've been on many dates, I know it's just been a week, but." Tamera said."But?" Dax asked."Why haven't you kissed me? Do you just want to be friends?" She asked.Dax visibly relaxed. Then looks at her calm but serious."I haven't kissed you because I didn't want to rush you. I was afraid of going too fast and scaring you off." He explained."How would kissing scare me off?" She asked."Because I'm afraid kissing wouldn't be enough. I'm not sure if I could control myself to stop at just kissing." Dax explained."Oh." She said."But I want to try." He said."Okay." She whispered breathlessly.Dax cups her face and slowly leans in. His lips lightly touch hers, and it's like static electricity. She gasps, and he presses his lips into hers more. The kiss heats up quickly. Tamera's hands went around his neck, pulling his body closer to hers.His tongue seeks entrance to her mouth, and she gives it acc
They lay still enjoying their joined bodies, letting their breathing return to normal. After their breathing returned to normal, they got cleaned up and climbed back in bed. Dax wrapped his strong arms around her and very soon they both drifted off into sleep. Tamera awakes in Dax's arms. She thinks back on what happened last night and smiles."You're finally awake." Dax said."Shit, you scared me." She said.Dax laughed."How long have you been awake?" Tamera asked."Not too long. I was enjoying holding you in my arms." Dax said."Yes, this is very nice." Tamera said."It is." Dax said."I don't want to ruin this special moment, but when are you checking out?" She asked."Well, I wasn't quite ready to leave as there was this brunette who kind of caught my attention. So I extended my stay for another week." Dax said."So, we have one more week together? And then what?" She asked."I'm not sure, but I only live an hour away. So even when I check out, I can come for lunches and dinners
"Yes, but I can still drive over for lunch and dinner. And I'm hoping I can talk you into spending the weekends with me." He smiled."And maybe you can stay over with me some nights?" She asked."Thought you'd never ask, darling." He smiled.Tamera squeezes her thighs together when he calls her darling. It always sends tingles of desire through her body. Dax notices."You like it when I call you darling, don't you?" He asked."God yes. It ah... it makes me.. I feel..." she stammered, not sure how to explain it."It makes you horny for me?" He smiled."Not sure if that's how I'd describe it." She blushed."It's nothing to be ashamed of. I find it very hot that it turns you on. Darling." He smiled."Oh god, now you're going to drive me crazy." She blushed again."Only a fraction of how crazy you drive me." He said.On Friday afternoon, Dax and Tamera are returning to her office after lunch."I'm going to go pack my stuff and load my car. Then I'll be back here when you're done for the d
Dax left to take care of some stuff at home. He said he'd be back in time for dinner. At lunchtime Tamera decided to go to town as she needed to talk with the Bakery and the Florist about some upcoming events. Just before she got into town, her brakes quit working on her car.Since she couldn't stop, her car went over an embankment and hit a small ditch. Her head hit the steering wheel just as the airbag deployed. The airbag thrust her back into her seat just before she passed out. Not sure how long she was out, she finally came to as her cell phone was ringing.She was super cold and at least the bleeding on her forehead had stopped. Her face burned from the deployment of the airbag. When she moved, her ribs also ached. Her right knee felt sore and swollen, like maybe it had hit something. Honestly, she just felt achy all over.She reached for her cell phone. "I need help, I crashed my car.""OMG! Where? I'll send Michael right now!" Sheila cried."I'm just before town, the last curv
"Ah yeah you do want to have Jake change you, right?" Brady asked.Paige sat back down on the bed. "I think I need a few more minutes.""Paige honey, it's completely your choice to stay human or be changed. It's not a decision you make spur of the moment, and not one you have to make today. It's for when you've sat down with Jake, and he's explained everything to you, then you decide." Tamera soothed."Ok. Let's do this." Paige agreed.Once again, Brady walked Paige down to the aisle where everyone was seated, but this time he kept walking. He put Paige's hand in Jake's and then stood behind Dax, who was Jake's best man.The wedding finally happened without any more interruptions. It was beautiful and Paige was happy. Pictures were taken, speeches were given, dances took place, and the food was amazing. They celebrated for hours before Jake finally whisked her away for their honeymoon. Paige did decide to be changed, since the three people she loved the most were werewolves.~~~~EPILO
"No honey, you're not. What you saw was real. I know how hard it is to wrap your head around it, but they do exist." Tamera soothed."Why aren't you shocked or scared?" Paige questioned."I found out a while back. I've had time to come to terms with it." Tamera explained."They're dangerous, right?" Paige asked."Some are, and some aren't. Those that love you will protect you with their life. They are dedicated and loyal, and they don't cheat." Tamera explained."We know dad cheated. He may have been discreet and kept it hidden well, but we could tell. And even if you guys didn't love each other you were still married and that should have meant something!" Paige retorted."Water under the bridge. Let's leave the past where it belongs, dead and buried." Tamera urged."You deserved better. I think a part of me will always resent him for that. He may not have been abusive verbally or physically, but not showing you love or affection and then going to someone else is just as bad in my boo
On Sunday morning, Dax brought Tamera breakfast in bed. "Mom and Paige have the triplets. Just relax and eat. Take advantage of the peace and quiet.""Ok, don't have to tell me twice." Tamera laughed.After she ate, Dax led her to the shower. He made love to her, then washed her head to toe. They got out of the shower and got dressed. Soon after, Paige and a few women she had never seen before came into her bedroom."What is all this?" Tamera asked."It's my surprise to you. To show you how much you mean to me, and how much I want to give you every dream you ever had." Dax kissed her and then left."My name is Arissa, and I'm here to do your hair." One of the ladies replied."And I'm Yolanda, and I'll be doing your makeup." Another one said.After her hair and makeup was done, Paige brought in a large garment dress. The wedding dress Tamera had loved."Mom, don't you dare cry! You'll ruin your makeup!" Paige warned.It was too late, Tamera was already crying."It's ok, nothing I can't
"Mom and Lainey are going to watch the babies tonight." Dax replied."They've been helping a lot, but why all night?" Tamera asked."Because I'm going to mate you and it's going to take all night. And I don't want any interruptions." Dax demanded.Tamera couldn't say a word. She was speechless. And so turned on."It's been 6 weeks darling. And the wait is over. My wolf is about to go insane." Dax moaned.They take each other's clothes off very quickly. Dax pushes her down onto the bed and climbs between her legs. He starts kissing her neck, then each breast before heading lower."Oh Dax!" Tamera moaned."I'm just getting started." He grinned mischievously.His mouth worked its way over to her sweet spot. Making her arch her hips upwards off the bed. It doesn't take his mouth long with the licking and scraping his teeth over it, for her climax to hit. It shakes her to her core."That's one, more to come." He promised.He climbed back up her body, kissing as he went. When his lips reach
"You aren't taking me back alive!" Rachel shouted.Just then Rachel transforms into her wolf. Jared does the same. They fight and he rips her throat out. Brady stands watching it all. Dax realizes that Brady just witnessed their secret."Brady?" Dax asked."What the actual fuck??" Brady demanded."I can explain." Dax replied."Yeah, ok." Brady scoffed."We're all werewolves." Dax explained."No shit! Ya think?" Brady retorted. "Does mom know? Is she one also?""She knows and no she isn't. That's a long story that will need to wait until we get your sister back to your mom." Dax explained.Brady looked down at his half sister Shay. She looked totally normal. They all did. It's no wonder nobody knew what they were. They hid it well."And what about Shayden, Caden, and Jayden?" Brady asked."Half and half. We won't know until they are 13 as to which half they'll take after." Dax replied."Well lil sis, good luck with that." Brady muttered."Your sister Paige doesn't know, and you can't t
"Hey man, don't know how to tell you, but long story short, your mom is alive. She kidnapped my daughter, and she's headed your way." Dax said on the phone."Is this a joke?" Logan asked."Not when it comes to my newborn daughter being kidnapped hours after she was born." Dax said."Shit!! Okay, I'll call in all my pack. How long before you're here?" Logan asked."2 hours." Dax said.They hang up and Dax grabs as many of his pack as he can and heads towards Wells territory. Dax forgets about Brady being with him but not knowing about their secret life. He's too consumed with rage and fear over his daughter to give it a second thought.They arrive at the Wells pack house."Welcome Alpha Dax. My pack is at your service. When Rachel died, well, when she left it was a relief. She was an evil woman. She never had anything to do with me. I later found out that she wasn't my real mom. My dad got a young girl pregnant, and she was killed after she gave birth to me. I just found out a few year
"Oh yeah. Well, I know we've discussed several. Now that you see them, which do you think fit?" She asked."I'd still like to go with the two boys' names, Jayden and Cayden, but what girl name would go with them?" Dax asked."Hmmm, well only 2 other names rhyme are Hayden and Brayden. Both boys' names." Tamera mused."Let's just think on it. We have a little time." Dax assured her."Grey? Are you disappointed in me for not breastfeeding?" She asked."Of course not. I know how much trouble you had with the twins. And three? Well i understand. Plus I can help." He replied."She's much smaller than her brothers, is she ok?" Tamera asked."The nurse said all three of them are fine and healthy." Dax confirmed."Ok I need pictures, daddy." Tamera grinned.She took one with Dax holding all three. Then one of him holding each one. Then he took the same pictures of her. The last one Tamera was holding their daughter and Dax was holding their two sons with one arm around Tamera's shoulders. A b
Tamera is in the bathroom looking at her massive stomach. Dax is trying to comfort her."Oh my. I think my water just broke. Oh god, another contraction!" Tamera groaned."Remember your breathing and focus points." Dax comforted her."I arghhhh, know!! Geez that was intense." Tamera yelled."Okay, I'm timing them. Let's get you dressed and to the hospital." Dax said.Ten minutes later Tamera is almost ready to leave when another contraction hits."Ohhh, god! You are getting neutered!" Tamera screamed.Dax instinctively puts his hands over his crotch. Tamera laughs at him after the contraction stopped.2 contractions later they pull up to the hospital. The orderlies get a wheelchair for her. They immediately take her to labor and delivery."I see a couple of boys are impatient to be born ." Doctor said."Yeah, but mom is so ready." Tamera said.About 7 hours passed before Tamera was dilated to a 10."Okay folks, it's time. Mom, next contraction go ahead and push these boys out." Doctor
"I know Jake talked to you and I want you to know how I feel about it." Paige responded."Okay." Tamera replied."First of all, no matter what, I'm getting my nursing degree and second of all, Jake is the one for me. I've never felt so loved, cherished, and so well taken care of by any other man. I have never loved another as much as I love him. He's my other half. When we're together, I feel complete, the world is right. When we are apart, I feel as if half of me is missing. We want your blessing. But if you don't give it, I'm still going to be with him." Paige explained."You are so young. So much of your life is in front of you. I just don't want you to make the same mistakes I did." Tamera said."He's not dad. Honestly, mom, when you married dad, you knew it was a mistake. You just need to admit it. Free yourself from the bad decisions of your past. Look at your life now. A good, kind, caring, loving husband who thinks you hung the moon. 2 awesome kids, and 2 more on the way." Pai
