about your home.
    What you need is a bigger room, and maybe even a designated waiting area.”
    Jackie sighed out her agreement. “That’s actually my goal. I figure a few more years and I might be able to rent something bigger.” Kaylie’s hand slapped on the mattress. “I already know the perfect place. The Kolter House.”
    The former Alpha’s two-story mansion that had been up for sale for over six months and probably cost five times more a month than what Jackie was currently paying? Kaylie was insane. “You’re insane.”
    “And you’re a pessimist. Listen. Not only is it secluded, it’s custom made so each room is oversized. We could easily revamp the front two rooms on the first floor into an examination and waiting room. The den even has a monster sized wet bar so we wouldn’t have to worry about installing plumbing. We could block off the hallway at midpoint, since the stairs are towards the rear of the house, and keep your living quarters separate from your working quarters.”
    Jackie rolled back on her side and propped her head on her hand.
    “You’re saying I should live there?”
    Kaylie slanted her a confused look. “Of course. That’s the whole reason for having an at-home office. It’s at-home.” She punctuated her words with air quotes. “Geez, Jackie. I thought you were smarter than this.”
    Jackie wrinkled her nose at Kaylie’s obvious teasing. “Apart from your disparagement of my intelligence, what you depicted would be optimal for diagnoses of medical ailments.” Jackie ignored Kaylie’s grin.
    “However, I’m still paying off student loans. Ergo,” Kaylie slapped her hands over her mouth when she snorted with amusement. “I don’t have the kind of money available for that type of investment.” Before Kaylie could respond, the bedroom door opened. “Is this a private slumber party or can anyone join?”
    Dean strode forward to take Kaylie’s outstretched hand and lift it to his lips. “Hmmm. Are you wearing perfume?” When the women shot each other startled glances and broke out into giggles, Dean bounced his gaze from one to the other. “Something I said?”
    “No. We were just spending some quality girl time together.” Dean looked uncertain. “That’s good. I think.” He turned his gaze full on Kaylie, the desire obvious in his eyes. Jackie heard Kaylie’s soft gasp just before the energy in the room started to thicken.
    “I’m going to get Zan’s belongings from his rental car.” Dean said.
    “You want me to take you home?”
    “No, but, ah,” Kaylie sat up after a brief glance at Jackie. “I’ll go with you. I need to talk to you.”
    Dean quirked one dark brow, “That’s never good.”
    “Idiot,” Kaylie laughingly shoved Dean back to put on her shoes.
    “You should never assume. Besides. We’ve come up with some fantastic ideas to boost tourism.”
    “Uh-huh. You’re female bonding time was spent talking about business?”
    Jackie sat up and shrugged. “Maybe a little male bashing.”
    “Speaking of which,” Dean took the comment in stride. “Try not to kill my brother before I return.”
    “Hey. I’m a doctor. I don’t kill people.”
    “Right. Honey, the look you had in your eyes before you left the room made me glad females don’t have claws.”
    “What?” Kaylie asked. “Wait. What happened? What didn’t you tell me, Jackie?”
    In that instance Jackie could have easily throttled her Alpha. “I’m sure Dean will tell you. Just remember, it’ll be from his dominant male point of view.”
    “Doesn’t mean it’s wrong.”
    “Geez.” Jackie flopped back on the bed. “Would you leave already? Not only am I exhausted but your mate needs quality time.” As a distraction, it worked. Dean pulled a half-hardheartedly protesting Kaylie out of the bedroom, leaving Jackie to stare at the ceiling.
    While most mated couples shared the same wonderful love and affection Dean and Kaylie bestowed on each other, Jackie knew there
