I hugged him happily. “This is so exciting. We’re going to buy a house together!”

  He swatted my bottom. “Hurry up and get dressed so you can show me the house before we go to the Council meeting.”

  I froze. “We?”

  Paul’s eyes blazed in sudden anger. “That fucking Council will never hurt you again. I didn’t forget that you told me Malarias pushed you. Nobody’s going to be putting their hands on you while I’m around…or using their mind power to hurt you ever again.”

  “Paul…you’re strong, you’re fast but-”

  Paul put his hand on my cheek and he kissed the words away. “Shhh. Don’t be afraid for me and don’t think I’m planning to start a war out of some need for vengeance. I just want to have your back. Hurry up and get dressed. Wear jeans because I want to take you on my bike.”

  I conceded and took a luxurious bath. The thought of Tony at the meeting made me really apprehensive. Would he think I was trying to rub his nose in the fact that I was with Paul. And if I was going to be completely honest with my self, I had to admit that I was the one that was afraid. I feared that the attraction I felt for Tony would be overwhelming; that I would regret pushing him out of my life. With a sigh I put Tony out of my mind. That was the only way that I would ever get over him.

  The council meetings didn’t start until 3:00 am. If Paul wanted me to rush then he must have a full evening planned. Excited about what our day would hold I dressed in black jeans, ankle boots and a white knit sleeveless shirt. I’d have to wear a helmet when I rode on Paul’s bike so I left me hair down.

  When I came out of the bedroom Paul was talking on his blackberry. “I gotta go. Just have all the paperwork ready to go no later then midnight. Here is fine. Talk to you later.”

  I slipped into his arms and kissed him. “What are you doing?”

  “Mara is getting our marriage license. We’ll need to sign that so that we’re all legal.” He kissed me. “You look beautiful, Baby. Are you ready to go? Do you need to feed first?”

  “No. It’s Kat’s day and before we head to the Council meeting I’ll flash to her place for a feeding.” That’s usually how we do it when no one’s required to be here. “Oh, and don’t forget that if you’re coming to the Council meeting with me then we’ll need an extra hour and a half. It’s a fairly long drive.”

  “Or, I’ll take one of the cars…probably the Porsche then while you’re with Kat I can be driving to the Council house. Then you can flash yourself to the car.”

  “That sounds like a plan…but I don’t have a Porsche.”

  “WE have a Porsche. I had my Porsche taken out of storage. A mechanic will drop it off here later tonight after they give it a thorough once over.”

  Wow. “One thing I remember about you is that you are a man of surprises. I like that.”

  “Kim, I want to bring you life.”

  My eyes stung and my chest felt tight. Life.

  ***

  We got on his bike. He turned to place a helmet on my head and spent some time making sure it was secure. Once he started the bike I gripped him around his waist tightly, and when we began moving I felt that Paul had achieved his wish. I felt alive!

  The ride to the house was exhilarating! It was so fun, especially when we bypassed the city and highway. I could have rode for hours I think, with the forest at our sides and the moon over our heads. But soon we were riding up the private drive to the house that had captured my heart.

  “The driveway is cobblestone.” I said to Paul excited. He nodded and we parked on the circular drive. I hopped off and stretched. Paul climbed off slowly examining the house but also the surroundings.

  “The lights are on.” I commented.

  “I called Kat earlier today and had her make arrangements for us to view the house in private. I have the code to the lock.” He took my hand and we strolled up the walkway.

  “It’s private. And I see that there is lots of wooded space.” He commented.

  “Seven acres.” I said. “I didn’t want to bring any Vampire business to our home so we won’t be attracting that kind of attention. And there are no neighbors close enough to worry about.”

  “That will be good, especially when I change. We don’t want the neighbor’s dog disappearing.”

  I looked at him in surprise but he was smiling widely. I punched him playfully in the arm.

  A Vampire and a Werewolf in a residential district. Sounded like the fall line up for the FOX network.

  Paul entered the combination and opened the door and then swooped over me and picked me up in his arms. I gripped him tight in surprise as he carried me over the threshold.

  It made me retrospective of the last time I’d been carried across the threshold. Alexis had done it under the guise of carrying me over sharp rocks at our private beach house…

  He paused. “You okay? You seemed…”

  I hugged him. “Thank you for being you.”

  He kissed me sweetly then lowered me into the entrance of what would become our first home together.

  Paul whistled under his breath. “Wow! It’s great.” We explored each room hand in hand each of us throwing out decorating ideas. The lower level had a wine cellar. This level was completely windowless if I needed to have a sunless space for any Vampire guests. And with the right touch it could be very comfortable and stylish.

  We went back to what would be the Master bedroom. Paul was just as impressed as I was at the size, the french doors and the walk out to a private patio. The patio impressed me because it had its own gardens but cozy enough for two to enjoy comfortably. I suggested a few lounging chairs and Paul said that he could clean up the fountain and we could put floating candles in it. The patio led out to the rest of the backyard where there was a pool with hot tub.

  “Late night swims.” He held me and kissed me. “This is going to be beautiful. But there are windows in the bedroom…”

  “Remember, that shouldn’t be a problem. But Kat said they can be replaced with special glass that won’t hurt Vampires.”

  He pecked me on the lips then looked up into the sky. “The moon will be full in two or three days.” He was breathless when he spoke.

  “Honey,” I said carefully. “I know you don’t want me to be around the first time you change without the pack, but I think I need to.”

  Paul held me against him. “It’s not that I don’t want you there…to be honest baby I don’t know what to expect. The other night, when you bit me, I never expected to strike out. The Werewolf and I are one but me at my most primal. Before I was just worried that I’d want you so bad the lust might be too much for the Were…Now, I don’t trust the Werewolf not to see you as a predator.”

  “Hmmm. Can I talk to you when you’re changed? Will you understand what I’m saying?”

  He smiled at me amused. “Yeah. I’ll understand you.”

  Why was he amused? These questions were normal. “If we had a dog, would you be able to communicate with it?”

  “Huh? I don’t know, I don’t think so...” His lips quivered like he wanted to crack up at me.

  “What are you going to look like? Is it…scary?”

  Paul’s face grew serious all of a sudden. He watched me close.

  “Kim, baby, if you really want me to change and satisfy your curiosity then I can do something for you.”

  I was so curious but still, we were having such a beautiful night that I didn’t want to ruin it by having a Werewolf bite me. Finally I nodded.

  “I won’t put you at risk by changing completely. But I can change partially for you. You’ll get the idea and I’ll still be in my present mind. Oh, and I won’t have the tail.”

  I smiled. Damn, that might have been kinda fun.

  He released me and removed his jacket, handing it to me. Then he unbuttoned his shirt and handed that to me as well.

  “You have a tattoo.”

  I ran my finger along the tattoo on his upper bicep; a thick, black tribal band. I
hadn’t noticed it earlier. His chest was thick and muscular and I wanted to run my hands along the ripples at his belly and up his pecs. The Lycan blood had done some miraculous things to his human form.

  Paul’s breathing came faster and he took my hand away from his body and kissed each fingertip and then he turned my wrist out and kissed that too. He then released it and backed up. Paul rotated his neck and I heard it crack. Suddenly his shoulders rapidly broadened. Then his neck thickened, and his arms almost doubled in size! I gasped in surprise. Like a ripple effect the veins seemed to pop out of his arms and traveled downward until they reached his fist which he flexed and released until I could see his hands had curled up into claws. His nails elongated and thickened until they were impossibly sharp. Paul shook out his hair which seemed bushier then before. It fell into his eyes which while hidden turned a vibrant gold not much unlike my own eyes turned at times.

  “Paul…” I said hesitantly.

  “It’s okay, Kim. I’m still here.” Paul looked at the moon and I could see joy on his face. “It’s so beautiful.” His voice was thicker, grittier, almost raw.

  He swept back his hair and I could see that his face hadn’t really morphed but the veins there still stood out more then before.

  He walked to me with his gold eyes. I watched him closely trying to get a sense of the Paul I knew. I knew that he was still my Paul…but somehow he seemed to be someone else when he morphed.

  He took his taloned hand and ran it down the buttons on my shirt. They were so powerfully lethal but his touch was so gentle. Despite my misgivings I was becoming turned on by his touch.

  “Take off your clothes.” He said gruffly.

  I hesitated only for a split second and then put his shirt and jacket down on the tiled ground. I was wearing a leather jacket myself. This I slipped off, and then I carefully removed my boots. Paul watched me intently. I noticed that his talons had retracted and his hair seemed to be a bit tamer. But the added muscles were still present and so were the unearthly gold eyes.

  I pulled off my shirt and carefully laid it on top of Paul’s clothes. My nipples hardened in the cool air. Paul reached down to undo his pants at the same time I did and we swept them off with Paul kicking out of his own boots. We were soon standing nude on the stone patio beneath the moon.

  Paul came to me slowly. “Do you want me to change back?” I noticed that his teeth were newly canine in appearance.

  “No…” I said hesitantly. This was my Paul. No. I wanted him anyway he came…

  I absorbed his beautiful, nude body. His penis was thick. Thicker then the last time I’d seen it…which was only briefly a year ago. He hadn’t been erect then, and it had just been a normal penis. What I was seeing now wasn’t normal by any stretch of the imagination.

  It rose above him, looping up and to the right. It could easily touch his belly button, but what got me was that it was so thick.

  I wasn’t going to ask if it was morphed…I was just going to accept it in all its glory.

  I shivered slightly in the night air with the tension of everything that was happening…and of course my desire.

  Paul reached out and stroked my breast. It was the first time that he’d ever seen me completely naked and he seemed to drink me up, too.

  “I knew you were beautiful. But…You are…indescribable.”

  I allowed my own fingers to glide down his front. His muscles seemed to shiver beneath his skin at my touch. I meant to just glide my fingers along the sensitive skin of his penis but my hands had a mind of their own and I gripped his thick cock, sliding my fist up the length of him.

  His mouth opened while his eyes closed. “Oh…Baby…” I couldn’t stop myself if I had wanted to…and I didn’t. I went down to my knees on that smooth patio stone and I slipped my mouth over his throbbing head.

  My tongue explored him, savoring the taste of the drops of precum that he deposited into my greedy mouth. Paul groaned and slipped his hands into my hair to hold me. He was so hard in my mouth that if not for his gentle thrusts I would not have been able to get him fully into my mouth. I sucked and lapped until Paul’s body shuddered and then his back arched and he howled. The sound of it caused my body to tremble as I continued to slurp and lap him down. Moaning I worked over his cock even faster until his knees began to buckle. He gripped my arms and pulled me to my feet.

  Paul pulled me to him, kissing me frantically, his tongue probing my mouth and my tongue explored his new teeth. He lifted me swiftly and I wrapped my legs around his hips. Lowering his mouth to my breast, Paul lowered teased my nipples into hard pebbles. Secure that he wouldn’t drop me I let my head fall back and the sight of the moon was getting to me too. A weight grew inside of my chest and exploded from my mouth…And I was howling not much different then the way Paul had before me.! He paused and his voice joined mine. We looked at each other and grinned. Again he kissed me, although now we were less frantic and more passionate.

  I wrapped my arms around his neck as he held me while we kissed and kissed and kissed. Paul looked down between us. He maneuvered himself until the tip of his cock was poised to enter me. He kissed me again and gently I felt him pivot his hips forward until he was slipping into me.

  I whimpered as he parted my tight flesh. Paul buried his face into my neck and calmly he continued to push until he was completely inside of me.

  I didn’t move because he had passed my cervix and was inside of me in more then one way. I squeezed my eyes closed until the pleasure could alleviate the pain. Paul withdrew slowly and I gasped.

  “Okay?” He asked breathlessly against my neck.

  “Yes.” I croaked. He pulled out of me almost completely and regripped my bottom. His next thrust was faster and smoother. He stopped short at my cervix. My breath came fast. He repeated the move again even faster and I tightened my muscles there as the pleasure built. The fourth time he did it he didn’t stop at my cervix and when he entered me there I yelled out in pleasure and hung on to him even tighter. He held me taut against him and rolled his pelvis against mine. I cried out again and shuddered at the contact with my sensitized nub. Quicker and quicker he pumped into me. His pre-cum mixing with my juices created a loud squishing that seemed to turn Paul on even more. I felt his teeth against my shoulder nipping but not breaking the skin. My teeth wanted to drop but I couldn’t take any chances that biting him would aggravate his wolf.

  Paul’s breathing became so loud and his body was hot and slick with sweat. His hoarse breathing told me that he was on the verge of coming. Before I knew it my back was pressed against the stone siding of the house. In this position I couldn’t keep up with his movement.

  “Oh, baby…oh God!” He cried hoarsely. The smooth pumping motion became hesitant and then suddenly faster as he drove into me roughly. I felt my own orgasm closing in but the animal sounds issuing from Paul made me even hotter. When I felt his hot fluid shooting into my body I screeched, my nails raking down his back. Paul shuddered and his teeth sank into my shoulder.

  Being bitten by a Werewolf is not like being bitten by a Vampire.

  Paul’s teeth were thick and used for ripping and shredding. Vampire’s teeth were long and thin and only used for puncturing. Plus our saliva acted as an anesthesia.

  Paul didn’t have any anesthesia in his saliva.

  I bucked and pushed against him biting back a scream of pain. But my body surprised me. The pain brought the orgasm on stronger and despite my attempts to get away from him my pussy clinched down, gripping him and convulsed rapidly.

  Paul looked at me with wild, apologetic eyes and then his eyes rolled up in his head. His chest seemed to quake and then he looked up into the sky and the sound that came from his throat was half a growl and half a cry. He did it repeatedly while I pushed him away with my arms at the same time that I gripped him with my legs.

  Finally, when my body stopped convulsing and I had stopped emanating my own animal cries Paul collapsed with me on top of him.

  I mov
ed to untangle our limbs from each other and he slid out of me leaving me feeling deflated and empty. He turned to his side and coughed and gagged until he finally got sick and vomited up my blood that he’d just ingested.

  “Paul…” I tried to hold his head off the hard stone but he came up weakly on his knees.

  “Kim…I’m so sorry.” He croaked. “God…” He came to his feet and I helped support him. His entire body was shaking. He was the old Paul, and not bulked up. It had taken a lot out of him; morphing.

  He gripped my shoulders and examined the bite then he looked at me closely. “I hurt you…again.”

  I smiled sheepishly. He had, but he needed to understand something. “Paul…didn’t you feel how hard we came? We were like…animals at the end and it was…fucking wonderful! Yeah, you bit me. It hurt, too. But I clawed you. Look at your poor arms and back. We lost control…we both did. But I liked it.”

  He stared at me trying to find the lie in my words. “But…you were pushing away from me. And I just…kept going.”

  I touched his face. “Was I really trying to get away? I was gripping my legs around you so tight you couldn’t have gotten away from me if you had tried.” Paul looked at my shoulder again. It barely hurt at all now.

  “It was a love bite.” He said quietly. “It’s what wolves do when they mate, except it doesn’t do as much damage when it’s with another wolf.”

  “Please, Paul.” I gripped his hand and led him back into the house where there was light. I led him into the bathroom and I turned on the water at the sink. Careful not to make a mess I splashed away the blood on my shoulder and arm. It was nasty and I hid a grimace. Paul gasped and paled. I put my fingers against the bite marks and concentrated on sealing the flesh. Paul watched curiously. Soon the wound was healing. It wasn’t perfect but I had never tried to do this before, at least in that way.

  “See.” I smiled. “You can bite me. It won’t kill me and I won’t change into a Werewolf…at least not more then I already am.”
