"Pleaseeee?" Allison whined beside Kristin.

"Allison," Kristin sighed, dragging out her name, "Please don't do this to me."

"To you? Come on Kristin, I want to meet your mate!"

Kristin groaned, leaning back into the passenger seat.

"Take a left up here," she told Allison, who was driving.

"Sooo, that's a yes?" Allison asked, hopeful.

"Logan?" Kristin asked, turning towards the backseat, "A little help here?"

Logan chuckled, "Actually Kristin, I want to meet him too."

"What?" she asked frantically, "Why?"

Logan shrugged, "I have to approve," he said teasingly.

"Me too!" Allison said, excitedly.

"You guys seriously want to meet Ryder?" Kristin asked, giving them one more chance to back out.

"Yes!" they both said in unison.

Kristin sighed, "Fine, but I'm warning you, he's a jerk."

"Okay Kristin," Allison said in a voice that meant 'stop over exaggerating, he's your mate.'

"Last chance to back out," Kristin said as Allison parked the car in front of the house.

"Nope!" Allison said cheerfully, hopping out of the car.

Kristin led them to the kitchen, not seeing Ryder anywhere downstairs.

"This is nice," she heard Allison say, looking around.

Logan took a seat on one of the bar stools.

"So, where is he?"

Kristin took a deep breath.

"Ryder!"

"What?" a familiar voice snapped.

"Come here!"

"No!"

"Ryder!" Kristin said, slightly whining. She wanted to get this over as quick as possible.

Allison and Logan gave her a weird look.

"What do you want?" Ryder snapped, coming down the stairs.

Kristin rolled her eyes, "See, I told you he's a jerk."

"You love it," Ryder smirked, walking into the kitchen.

"No, I don't."

"Don't lie, babe."

"Okay, let's get this over with, Allison, Ryder. Ryder, Allison." Kristin quickly motioned between them.

Allison grinned at Ryder and then looked at Kristin.

"You were right."
