"But I'm not a werewolf. I can't be... we can't be..." I feel the urge to run but deep down I know that my fight or flight instincts are going to get me nowhere with Max. He's a werewolf.
As if he can read my thoughts he tights his grip on my hand and my chin. Pushing my chin up I close my eyes anticipating a kiss. A kiss I shouldn't want. I don't want. I shouldn't want.
"Don't run." Max whispers into my ear. I hear him breathe me in and sniff me.
"Did you just smell me, wolf boy?!" His eyes were black with those golden flecks swirling around. They were mesmorizing.
When he loosened his grip on my chin I jumped back. "I'm not running." My hands are up as I walked slowly backwards towards his car. "But, come on, Max, that was like...weird. Boarderline creepy. Are you going to sniff my butt next?" This time I knew I heard him growl.
I can feel myself back into his car. I said I wasn't going to run and I meant it, so I put my hands do
The chaste peck on the lips created sparks between us. I'd never had this feeling when I kissed other guys. It felt like I had found a piece of me that I didn't know I had been missing. Just one quick peck, and the aching black hole that my father left when he died was a tad smaller. I uncrossed my arms and put my hands on his face pulling him down towards me. He looked surprised, but didn't wait to kiss me back. I closed my eyes and enjoyed every single sensation. Soon his hands are on my waist bringing our bodies as close together as they could be. His tongue massaged mine and quickly knocked out every other make-out session I've ever had. He definitely knew what to do. I followed his lead, copying it's every move his tongue made. That made him groan. I smiled knowing that I had made him groan. My body seemed to have a mind of it's own when he did that. I started to grind on him. He pushed a leg between my thighs. He was tall and strong. His thigh did
I skulked to the door, opening it without having to use my key. There were two women, one older and one younger. The older woman was sitting with Ginny, laughing. The younger one was cooking something that smelled delicious. Maybe it's our dinner? My stomach growled. "You have fresh linens on your bed and I cleaned up some of your crap lying around." She didn't even look up from the pan she was stirring. She was like an A****n warrior: tall, gorgeous, and intimidating. "Wash up. I'll serve dinner once your mom is home." "My mom works late on Tuesdays." I waited for her to introduce herself. I stepped forward and she snipped at me "What do you want, Tara." "A name would be nice." Wow, that came out with more attitude than I was trying to give. I'm not a harsh toned person. "And thank you, whoever you are, for everything." "Names Naomi." No explanation of how she came to be here or a last name, just Naomi. "Okay. Thanks again, Naom
The next day at school was normal and I hated it. I wanted Max to come find me and take me away. He didn't pick me up to drive me to school, or walk me to class. And there was no sign of him during my lunch period. I felt bad for being so hard on him yesterday. It was fun to get him all riled up and I liked seeing his eyes darken into black and golden swirls from bright baby blue. Why had I been such a jerk yesterday? I went over our conversation again and again but came up blank. I told him that his kiss was swoon worthy. It was the best kiss I'd ever had. I complimented him. Why did he get upset. I looked down at my notes and I realized I hadn't been paying attention, because there were drawings of wolves all over the page. It's not like I was a great artist or anything, but I could tell the wolf I was trying to draw was Max. I didn't know how to find Max or if he was even here today but since he's the most popular guy in school, it shou
I felt sexy in my new clothing. The dress hugged me in all the right places. But the under garments were far from comfortable. My mom gave me a hug and asked me to be safe and offered me condoms. "MOM! Why do you have those?!" My eyes bugged out of my head as I saw her with a jumbo box of condoms. "I'm a woman with needs too." She said unapologeticly. "Just because your father isn't around and I'm not a teenager anymore doesn't mean I stopped being a sexual being." I covered my ears. "La La La La La I can't hear you!" I ran out the door to be met with a familiar voice and a loud engine. "Oh My Goddess! Get in you sexy bitch! We have to do your hair and make-up." Lacey's head was out the window. They stopped at the curb before my driveway."Too late, I've already gotten it all taken care of." I jumped into the backseat. Beyoncé's voice welcomed me into the Hummer. Halo was one of my favorite songs. The fact that she could sing that with such lov
The sun was now down and stars were out. We were cruising along a long dark road that turned into gravel and then dirt or something. When we pulled up to a house that looked like it could have been home to a big time celebrity. It reminded me of one of the houses in the nicer part of Los Angelos, secured in gated communities with serious security guards. They parked on the well manicured lawn that covered every side of the house except the front. That had been paved. a circular driveway with somesort of pretty plant growing out of the groung and protected with plastic fencing. "Isn't it rude to park here?" I felt self conscious while walking tip-toing on the grass so my heel wouldn't get stuck. "No. Max's mom is totally cool with it." Laura linked my arm on one side and Lacey had the other. I was locked in. "Take a deep breath - helps with anxiety." "So do shots. Let's get shots!" We strolled up an
The house was bumping. Laura was off doing her own thing but I was taking shots with the petite, strawberry blond bombsell that was my friend, Lacey."Let's go get more!" I winced as I tried to take a step. I hate heels. I'm already really tall, so I only like to wear my red pumps when I want to stand out. "Urg! Damn heels!"In my bodycon black dress I sat on the floor finally. Max wasn't looking at me so I didn't care about these anymore. Since I was tipsy, I know I wasn't graceful sitting against the wall and bringing my feet up, one at a time, to my face to take my red pumps off."LADY DOWN!" Lacey yelled."Stop. I'm fine. Just go get the shots. Pretty please. With a cherry on top. like your hair. It's more strawberry but reddish still.""Okay, Sweetie pie, let's get you up." She tried to pull me up to my feet but ended up dragging me along. "I can't leave you alone and you are too tall for me to keep you upright. We need to get you a male babys
"Do you think we should wake her?" "No. We shouldn't she needs her rest and honestly she hasn't bee sleeping well lately." "Oh, really. She's slept like a baby here all through Saturday. Why don't you come downstairs, Carol, and have some tea while we wait." "That would be lovely. Ginny speaks very highly of you and your family. And that's saying a lot because she barely talks." "She's my namesake, you know?" I heard the door shut and their voices became faint. Once I was sure they were gone I slowly opened my eyes, aware I wasn't in my own room. "Good morning, Sleeping Beauty." I felt like I jumped out of my skin. "How long have you been here?" "Well, it's my room. Soooo, the entire time. You snore, little mate." I blushed knowing that I do snore and it's not the cute, quiet snore. I can sound like my father did. I went to pull the covers back over my head but two arms stopped me. An
The pack had been nice to my mom and me, but it was time to go home. I snuck a pillow case out in the overnight bag my mom had packed for me. I needed it to get through this seemingly hopeless time.My mom kept saying not to worry, there are always loans and academic scholarships I could apply for, but she didn't understand. A free ride wasn't actually going to be free. I would have to take loans out for books, housing, food, and other living expenses.I wasn't surprised that there was a welcome party waiting for us. My new girl friends, Laura and Lacey, Naomi and her mother, Talia. And Ginny. I couldn't believe my eyes; Ginny was outside! Not just outside but outside and smiling! She seemed more vibrant and healthy. It made me wonder if taking in my mom and me had been not such a good thing for her health.Everyone was cheering and greeting us. I got the full treatment from my wolfie friends. Lacey could pick me up and carry me to the couch or my bedroom
