S. Yule - Lycan Lover

She cried out. Her body was so achy it hurt. “Please, Anthony.”

“Believe me, baby, I will please. Remember when you had your little fun with me in the shower?” Her eyes widened and she nodded. “It’s my turn.”

He flipped her on her stomach and pulled her hips back until she was on her knees. He turned her to face the back of the couch and placed her palms flat on the top of the leather. He placed his mouth close to her ear. “Don’t move and hang on cause the ride’s about to begin.”

His low words vibrated through her, exciting her until she thought she’d cry out in frustration. She wanted him in her. She didn’t move as he stood. She listened to the rustling of him removing his clothes and moaned when she heard the rasp of the metal teeth on his zipper. An image of his magnificent body flashed in her brain, and she moaned again. Within moments, he nudged her knees wider and kneeled between them. He kissed her back while he rubbed his fingertips down her spine. She broke out in a cold sweat.

“Do it, Anthony, Now!”

“Almost, baby. Almost.” He kissed the side of her neck while he toyed with her nipples, ran his long fingers down her belly, his bare chest pressing her forward into the soft cushion of the couch. He found her slit, creamy and wet, and ran one long finger over her until she squirmed. Her breaths grew ragged and she cried out his name. He yanked her hips back and seated his cock so deep inside her she thought she’d faint at the feel of him completely filling her almost to the point of pain.

He fisted her hair and pulled her head back for his kiss while he pumped eagerly into her. She opened her mouth and her body, welcoming him, begging him, screaming for him and his possession. The tide built fast and out of control and swept her over the edge. He threw his head back in a guttural cry seconds later and wrapped one arm around her waist to anchor her to him while his seed pulsed deep into her. She couldn’t move. She was spent, replete.

He sat back, pulled her into his lap once again, and snuggled her against his chest.

“I don’t understand how I can feel this way about you, Anthony. I just met you.”

He stroked her hair. “That’s okay, baby. I understand it.”

He gazed into her wide, confused eyes. But he glimpsed something else in the fathoms of blue. A fire burning that matched his. He knew she desired him, wanted him, but he’d be a liar if he didn’t admit that it bothered him she hadn’t said she loved him back. He hadn’t really expected her to say it. Hoped, longed and prayed she would, but expected . . . no. He had to believe that she would in time, if she didn’t end up hating him for what she was about to become.

He picked her up and carried her to his bedroom where he laid her out like a feast offered up to a god on his big bed. And he felt like a god at the moment, for surely no mere mortal deserved a goddess of such beauty. He kissed every inch of her body before concentrating on the one part of her he’d been dying to taste. He licked her slick entrance and growled at the thought of being inside her again. She arched off the bed, and he held her to him by her hips. He alternated burying his tongue deep inside her and sucking gently on the little nub that brought her so much pleasure. She gasped and let out a small cry. When her muscles tightened, signaling she was nearing release, he climbed over her and took her. She wrapped her legs around his waist, and he rode her hard until sweat glistened on their skin and they both fell over the edge and lay in an exhausted, limp, and satiated heap.

They slept for a while and awoke in each other’s arms, the fire igniting once again. They made love so many times after that he lost count.

October 31st, Halloween

She stretched like a contented cat the next morning and sleepily reached for Anthony only to encounter empty space beside her. She rubbed her eyes and yawned. She looked around the room, but didn’t see him anywhere. She listened and didn’t hear any movements in the bathroom either. She hoped that maybe he was cooking another wonderful breakfast. Too occupied with sharing each other’s bodies, they hadn’t spent too much time eating yesterday. They had gotten up late last night for a snack of fresh fruit and grilled cheese sandwiches, but her stomach grumbled now, letting her know she had more than worked off that meal.

She stretched one last time before getting out of the cozy bed. She put on jeans, a T-shirt, and another pair of Anthony’s warm socks. She brushed her teeth and hair before padding to the kitchen. When she didn’t find Anthony there or the living room, she called out to him, but he didn’t answer. “Where could he be?”

She peered out the windows of the living room and suddenly remembered that today was the day her whole life would change. Today she would change for the first time. Her heart skipped a beat and her veins iced with fear. Her breathing came in short, shallow gasps, and sweat broke over her upper lip. “Stop it, Karen. It will be okay. Anthony will be with you.”

Yet, when she looked around and noted his absence once again, panic rode her hard. She hurried to the front door, wanting to see if his car was still in the driveway. When she flung it wide, a shrill siren pierced the air and her ears. She cried out and backing up, caught her heel on the small table by the door. She was unbalanced and effectively landed on her rear.

When she looked up, a scream bubbled in her throat. There, in the open doorway, stood the hugest wolf she’d ever seen. Actually, she’d never seen a wolf in person, but she didn’t think they usually grew that big. It had to be four feet tall at the shoulder. She scooted slowly away from the animal and stopped when she met its eyes. Beautiful green eyes stared back at her. Green eyes she knew well. “Anthony?” She whispered the words.

The wolf growled low, but not a scary I’m-going-to-eat-you type of growl. In fact, she thought it was more like a response to her question. The wolf walked slowly toward her with its head down, which she took as a sign of submission. She held her breath when it sniffed her hair and licked her cheek. The moment the wolf made contact, she knew in her heart that it was, in fact, Anthony.

She stared at him in amazement, and when she reached out slowly toward the thick black fur covering his body, he leaned into her hand. She stroked him tentatively, and the wolf let out a low whine. He treated her hand to a slow lick, before he backed away and disappeared around the corner. Within a few seconds, Anthony stood gloriously naked in the entryway. He pressed a couple buttons on the alarm, and the shrill noise that she had completely forgotten about by that time stopped. He reached for her hand and helped her up from the floor.

She didn’t know what to say. He’d been the most magnificently terrifying, beautiful creature she’d ever seen. “I know I’m probably asking the obvious, but that was you, right? I’m not crazy?”

“You know it was me, Karen.” He hadn’t wanted Karen to see him in his wolf form just yet. He’d been unable to resist running in the forest that morning and had been about to head home when he heard the shrieking of the alarm. His heart thundered in fear as he ran the mile home in a blinding speed. He had thought someone had tried to break in to his house and only thought of getting to Karen, of keeping her safe. When he saw her standing in the doorway and realized that she had been the one that set off the alarm, he’d frozen, staring, waiting for her rejection of him and what he was.

She’d surprised him, though. He could tell by her wide eyes and open mouth that she’d wanted to scream, but she hadn’t. In fact, she’d let him walk right up to her and lick her. And, when she reached out to stroke him, he thought he’d die from the erotic pleasure her fingers enticed along his skin. He had an overwhelming urge to take her right then and there in wolf form, but common sense finally cut through his need. She hadn’t even changed for the first time yet. There was no way she’d be ready for such a mating with him. So, before his hormones got the best of him, he’d backed out onto the deck and changed back to human.
