Erica's Perspective.
I woke in the morning, Jessica had her arm draped over my front half and I looked over as I sat up and saw Rachel had joined us in the middle of the night and was spooning up against Jessica. God, that woman.
I reached over and flicked Rachel hard in the forehead.
There was no reaction, she was out cold.
Jesus, I don't know what to do.
Jessica would have a heart attack when she first woke up.
I slowly slipped out of bed and threw on some clothes that Jessica had given me, cause apparently I dress too fancy for the farm life...
I was in a flannelette shirt,
Before exiting the motorhome, I was hit with the very warm morning air. Despite only just being winter in Estio, I hadn't been climatized yet. During the winter months here, it didn't snow in this region apparently, but it rained a lot during the spring season.
I walked over to my car, The White Pearl paint was covered in mud, it looked terrible, I pouted.
"Clean Paint doesn't last long out here." I heard from behind me.
I turned around and saw Jessica's dad loading up his work car with wire.
"I bet." I said to him.
He walked over to me, and I was small in comparison to him.
He was a big bloke, built like a brick shithouse type of man.
He walked around my car, bending down and checking the rear tyres.
"You'll have to take me for a drive one day, yeah?" He asked me.
"I can do that." I told him.
"Not now though, do you wanna come for a drive with me?" He asked me.
"Yeah sure, what are we gonna do?" I asked him.
"Well I've got a few fences to fix, I could use the help." He told me.
I nodded and agreed to come with him.
We both got into his car, and drove off down the dirt driveway.
"So how long have you and Jessica been a thing?" He asked me.
"About a month or two I suppose." I said to him.
"You're not gonna hurt my daughter are you." He asked me.
"I hope you know that I'm the 'Alpha' around here." He told me.
I gulped, I was a tad worried with what he was saying.
"I don't think It'd be possible for me to hurt your daughter, Sir, I love her too much." I said to him.
"Damn right you do, She's very special to me, so If I hear one thing that you've done bad to her, you'll be gone, understand?" He said to me.
Here I was, sitting in the passenger seat, I was an Alpha, yet this Beta sitting next to me was Outranking me, even I was feeling threatened.
I calmed myself down and let it happen, I didn't want to hurt Jessica.
"I understand." I said to him.
He started to laugh.
"What's so funny?" I asked him.
"You shit your pants then didn't you?" He said to me.
"Wait what?" I stammered.
"I'm only joking, about most of it." He said to me.
"If you really do hurt my daughter, I'm a crack shot with a gun." He said to me.
Fucking hell, he got me worked up nice and good.
We arrived at the field, and for the next few minutes I helped him repair and tighten a fence in this paddock we were in.
"This country is beautiful." I said as I turned and looked at the field, the forest off in the distance, mist coming off nearby mountains.
"God's Country." He told me.
"Come on, we've got some more to do." He said to me.
We fixed seven fences in total all before 10AM, I thought we'd be heading home, that's when we pulled into another field, with a rusted out shed sitting just off the side, leading into a forest.
He parked the car and both of us got out. He walked around to my side of the car, lowering the cover that sat on the tray of the car.
He used a key to open up the side of a metal container and lifted it open.
Inside the metal container was a rifle bag.
"Let's see how well you can shoot, shall we?" He said as he handed me a box of ammunition.
I'd never shot a gun in my life.
I honestly felt weird about this, I was more so scared that Jessica's father carried a gun around with himself at all times.
He loaded this.22 bolt action rifle, handed me an ear protector and put his own ear protector over his head.
I watched him shoulder the rifle and shoot at a target off in the forest, he missed and swore.
He handed me the rifle, and I watched him reach into the metal cardboard and pull out a bottle of whiskey wrapped in bubble wrap.
What on earth was Jessica's family on.
I was out of my element really, I watched as he unscrewed the cap and took a quick shot out of the bottle.
He held his hand out and I passed him the Rifle back.
"I shoot better after my whiskey." He told me.
"Do you?" I asked.
"Yeah." He said as he pulled the bolt back and caught the casing that ejected out of the gun in his hand.
He put the bolt back in and I stood there, I saw him aim at the same target, then shoot.
There was a distance PING, from the bullet hitting the target.
He cycled another bullet in and shot at another target. PING.
Again and again, at different targets in the forest, PING PING PING.
He was a crack shot.
"Are you bullshitting me?" I asked him.
"Yes I am my dear, I was a part of a gun club during my youth and I still practice and go into competitions sometimes." He laughed at me, his whole belly joined along with him.
"Here, give it a shot." He said as he cycled five bullets into the rifle.
I was handed the gun again.
"Just aim down the sights, and off into the distance you'll see the targets, they've got a piece of tinfoil on them so they flash in the sunlight." He told me.
"Is there anything I should know?" I asked him as I held the rifle in my hands.
"Never aim at something you don't plan to kill."
"Don't look down the barrel."
"Always keep it pointed to the ground unless you're firing."
Lots to learn it seemed.
I shouldered the rifle and I felt him grab my hand and slide it up the wooden underside of the gun, then he moved the gun right against my shoulder.
"Keep it up against your shoulder otherwise you'll drop it with the recoil." He said to me.
I did as I was told and aimed out at the target, I could see it very clearly through the scope.
I squeezed the trigger in and fired.
I heard a distant PING and Jessica's dad clap at me.
"Very nice, that's a good shot." He said to me.
I handed him the gun back and he unloaded the rifle.
"Don't wanna shoot any more?" He asked me.
"I'm good, thank you." I told him.
The truth was I loved it, I had to stop myself from firing again, I don't know what it was, but the feeling of holding something like that made me feel very powerful.
Like I could have taken on the world with just that.
It was definitely having an effect on me simply because of my blood line.
I was going to get addicted to that feeling, so I cut it off quickly.
We returned to the house just in time for lunch, Jessica and Rachel were out playing with the family's pet dog and their puppies when Jessica's dad and I pulled into the parking area.
Jessica came over to us.
"Where did you two go too?" She asked us.
"Father to Daughter's Girlfriend private talk." Her dad said to her.
I shrugged my shoulders and agreed with him.
"What did my dad say to you?" Jessica asked me.
"Nothing serious, he just wanted to talk about me really." I told her.
"Hmmm, alright then." Jessica said to me.
Rachel and Jessica's Mother were playing on the grass with the puppies now.
Since I had been gone, Jessica's Brothers and Their Girlfriends had also arrived on the scene.
Brooke and Vivian came outside after Jessica's dad went into the house, and they hung out with us.
We sat and watched the puppies play in the grass for the next thirty minutes, that is when I began to notice that Brooke was getting closer and closer to me.
This girl, I thought Rachel was annoying, I'd barely met her but I knew what she was doing.
She eventually moved around enough times that she sat directly next to me as Jessica got up with Rachel, both of them attempting to do a cartwheel on the grass.
I tapped my pocket, I did have some inhibitors on me, thank god.
I took them out of my pocket and put them in Brookes Lap, as I stood up and walked over to Jessica.
I danced with Jessica on the grass, Rachel joining in with us and I could see the shocked look on Brooke's face as she looked at the packet of Inhibitors I had given her.
Sucker.
God it was very hard to resist just going wild now, but I loved Jessica to bits.
"I love you Jessica." I said to her.
"I love you more." She said back to me as she fell into my arms as we stood there.
"Get a room, oh my god." Rachel said to us.
"Just hurry up and Mark the girl already." She continued as she walked off.
Jessica and I both laughed at Rachel as we watched her walk away while we held each other.
There were 4 more days until Christmas, we had a lot of time to kill.
Later that night, after we played board games with Jessica's Family, I rang the local bar at Savanna, the town nearby.
I booked a table for two, tomorrow night at 6:30PM.
I was gonna wine and dine my Omega.
For the next day, I didn't hear a peep out of Brooke and noticed that she was definitely taking the inhibitors as she had lost the smell she had on her.
We ended up going to the river nearby for the day, Chris and Jacob both had Jet Skis and Jessica's Father had a speedboat that they were planning on skiing from.
For the entire day, we just had fun, flat out fun.
I'd never felt so relaxed around people.
