something when Brenda and Shelly both popped up and said, “We have to go to the bathroom and help.”
    “You forgot to raise your hands!” Cherri said sarcastically.
    Shelly glared at her daughter and then picked up her bag and walked out of the room.
    “Cherri, we need to check their meds,” Rissa whispered loudly and then smiled at Kade innocently.
    “Hey, we forgot to introduce the newest member of the mad house. Calix Preed is Pilar and Brooks’s mate,” Calli announced and smiled.
    “Your parents didn’t like you, did they?” Simon asked Calix who was frowning.
    “Of course they did, why?” Calix asked.
    “They named a dog…a cat.” Simon laughed.
    “Fuck you,” Calix growled and looked around the room. “I may be a psychologist, but I can kick anyone’s ass.”
    “Psychologist?” Rissa laughed. “Hell ya, we have a head shrink to help you, honey,” she said and patted Simon on the arm.
    “I don’t think there is any helping him.” Calix grinned. “Seriously, I am a psychologist, I have been working with shifters to deal with the abuse of humans.” Calix shrugged.
    “Do you have a personality test we can give Simon?” Rissa asked.
    “Ris, you need to get over that shit.” Calli rolled her eyes. “You mated him.”
    “I know, and I love him. It is the whole, he is gonna snap and kill me in the middle of the night that has me stuck.” Rissa laughed.
    “Get over it.” Calli laughed.
    “Back to—” Kade growled and Calli interrupted him and turned her attention to Blackie.
    “You know enough with the niceties, what the fuck do you know? Spit it out. And what the hell is your name, I mean I can call you bitch all day long but Kade seems to think it is disrespectful,” Calli growled.

    “Real smooth,” Vivi glared at her friends.
    “What?” Brenda shuffled. “Kade was looking like he was gearing up for one of his long speeches, we needed to get out of there first.”
    “Whatever, okay, Cherri’s rooms first, stash the bags, and only take what we need. Let’s go and get you some grandbabies.” Vivi smiled and the women grinned.
    *****
    “Call her Blackie, she likes it,” Gio said with a smile, which earned him the finger from the woman.
    “Good, okay, Blackie.” Calli smiled knowing it pissed her off. “Now what do you know?”
    Kade put his hand over his eyes and then slammed a hand down on the table making everyone but Calli jump a little. “Damn it, I got this.”
    Calli raised an eyebrow at her mate, then grinned, and leaned back, folding her arms across her chest. “Please, by all means continue.”
    *****
    “Damn it, would you get in here,” Vivi growled at Shelly who was in her daughter’s bedroom.
    “Who would have thought though, I mean Cherri is a little wild, but really? They have cuffs attached to the bed. I am really proud of her,” Shelly said and then came into the bathroom. “Brenda is the lookout, she said that if she ‘hoots’ once it means to be quiet someone is in the hallway, if she ‘hoots’ twice, then someone is coming into the room and to hide.”
    “They are shifters, I am pretty sure if they hear a hoot they are checking it out,” Vivi said dryly.
    “Well, it is the only thing we could think of.” Shelly laughed.
    “Where is the needle?” Vivi said and pulled out a box from under the sink.
    “Wow, ex-large and ribbed?” Shelly grinned and held out her pincushion that held their weapon of choice for the day.
    “Make sure you put enough holes in so it leaks but doesn’t break,” Vivi warned and she pulled the first condom from the box. “They may throw them away if they think the box is defective.”
    “That’s why we are only doing half, remember. I mean I will give them a sporting chance not to figure it out.” Shelly shrugged and pulled a needle from the cushion and began to poke holes in her son-in-laws’ condoms.

    Kade glared at his mate and then shook his head in frustration. Calix wanted to laugh;
