"Well as long as my chances of dying are higher in the war than your family."
He shifted where he lay, thinking that he should sit up but enjoying the attention now that it wasn't with an undertone of need boiling in his blood. "I mean... if they don't know about the bonding bite, they might risk it and set you up with a strapping young man or woman more to their liking. Doesn't sound like your family from what you've told me." He expected a hard time, expected to be put through the third degree, but honestly, it couldn't be worse than boot camp. Cracker had been the nicest thing he'd been called there, and he'd be dumped out of his bunk more times than he cared to remember.
Yet, he perked and tilted his head like an interested dog at the mention of whole pig. That wasn't easy to do. "A whole pig? He has to do that over a spit. Does he have an outdoor barbecue?" Now there was something he could get behind. Jack loved to barbecue, and he liked to think he was damn good at it too.
"Sunrise is something I can make happen." He shrugged his shoulders helplessly. "Ronnie thinks I'm stealing his ladies all the time, so he's been chasing me for years."
