Chapter 8

 

“Are you ready, Hannah?”

Hannah eyed Will nervously. They had waited until dark before leaving the facility and traveling deep into the woods.

“Not really. I don’t even know how to shift on purpose.” She sighed.

He nodded. “It can take a great deal of concentration at the beginning.” He stripped out of his clothes and after a moment, she followed his lead.

“Close your eyes and take some deep breaths. Try to think about your wolf and allowing it free. Don’t fight it. Just allow it to happen.”

“Right.” She muttered. She closed her eyes and concentrated.

After nearly five minutes, she sighed loudly and opened her eyes. “I can’t, Will. I just – I don’t even know where to begin.”

He didn’t reply. He was staring at her naked body and his cock was full and erect. She could feel the answering call of desire in her own body and she smiled lazily at him. “I want you, Will.”

“I want you too.” He growled.

She gave a soft gasp of surprise when spun her around roughly. He dragged her back against his body, one hand cupping her breast and the other reaching between her legs. He thumbed her clit harder than he normally did and she growled softly at him even as wetness pooled between her legs.

He ignored her growl and bit her lightly on the back of the shoulder. She moaned, her nipples hardening in delight at the feel of his sharp fangs, and he slid two fingers deep into her pussy. She gasped again at the sudden invasion and tugged at his hand.

“No, this is mine.” He breathed into her ear. He cupped her throat gently with one big hand and held her firmly as he moved his fingers in and out in a quick, hard rhythm.

She moaned and twisted in his arms and when he pushed her to her hands and knees on the ground, hard lust exploded in her belly. She spread her legs eagerly as he dropped to his knees between her legs, and gave a loud howl of delight when he pushed his cock into her slick entrance.

He held her firmly around the hips, his cock sliding in and out of her in a hard deep rhythm, as Hannah arched her back and pushed back against him. To her surprise, she was already close to coming and when he slid his hand between her legs, leaned over her and sank his fangs deep into the back of her neck, she howled hoarsely as she climaxed explosively. Dimly she was aware of his own hoarse howl and his warm seed spilling into her but the shift was happening and she was trying desperately to stop it.

Will was suddenly kneeling in front of her and he cupped her face with his warm hands. “Let it happen, honey.”

“Will…” She moaned as her back arched and hair began to sprout on her face and body.

“It’s okay.” He whispered soothingly.

She closed her eyes, fear and excitement coursing through her body at the same time, and Will watched as with a loud growl, she shifted to her Lycan form. She crouched on the ground for a moment, staring unblinkingly at him and he gave her a reassuring smile.

“It’s alright, my love.” He whispered before shifting. He nuzzled her throat and she whined softly before licking his face.

She stood a bit shakily and stretched as she looked around the forest. Will barked quietly and she turned toward him. He grinned at her and then turned and bolted into the trees. With a sharp bark, she chased him through the trees.

The moon, half full and shining brightly through the trees, called to her and she skidded to a stop. She stared rapturously at it, whining again when it disappeared behind the clouds. Will bumped her head with his and she licked his face again before suddenly darting away. The urge to run was too strong to deny and she panted happily as she loped through the forest. Will ran beside her and she breathed deeply of the clean, night air as they moved easily across the ground.

A scent caught her attention and she stopped, lifting her head and inhaling deeply as Will returned to her side. It was the scent of a deer and she growled deep in her throat as an urge to hunt - an urge to kill - overtook her. Will nudged her with his head and she snarled at him. He growled back and bit her in the shoulder until she whimpered and collapsed to her belly. He held her there with his teeth until she whimpered again in submission. He licked the shallow wound in her shoulder, it was already beginning to heal, before inhaling and slowly moving away.

She followed him, every nerve in her body singing for the deer’s blood, and she gave a soft yip of excitement when the deer’s scent grew stronger. Will growled and nipped her again and she bowed her head before creeping after him.

They followed the deer’s scent for nearly half an hour until Will stopped and crouched to his belly. She did the same and could barely hold in her excitement when the deer stepped around a tree. Beside her, Will’s body was vibrating with excitement and she panted lightly as he gave her a quick look. Moving as one, they stalked silently toward the deer.

“Leanne? What are you doing?” Selena flopped down in one of the armchairs in the common room and stared at the redhead.

Leanne was sitting alone in the room and holding a large bottle of whiskey.

“What’s it look like I’m doing?” Leanne took a large gulp of whiskey.

“Why are you drinking whiskey straight out of a bottle?” Selena asked patiently.

“I couldn’t find a glass.” Leanne snickered softly before sighing. “Dwight broke up with me.”

“Dwight from the babies?”

Leanne nodded. “Yeah.”

I’m sorry. I didn’t realize you two were dating.” Selena replied.

“Yeah, apparently Dwight didn’t either. He’d heard the rumours about me and figured I was good for a roll in the hay. I mean I was, obviously, but we’ve been sleeping together for nearly a month. I kind of thought it was starting to mean something.”

Selena gave her a look of sympathy and Leanne snorted loudly. “Don’t look at me like that, Selena. I know what you and Hannah and the other women think of me.”

“Leanne – “

Leanne drank another swallow of liquor. “I hate being alone, okay? Does it make me a bad person to want someone to keep me warm at night? To want someone to make me feel good, to maybe even love me a little?”

Selena shook her head. “No, it doesn’t. I’m sorry, Leanne. I was being a judgemental shrew.”

Leanne shook her head. “Fuck, who am I trying to kid? I deserve it. You’re Hannah’s best friend, and I tattled on her and Will like a little kid having a temper tantrum. Why wouldn’t you hate me?”

“I don’t hate you.”

“No?” Leanne laughed bitterly and Selena reached out and swiped the bottle from her.

She took a long drink, crinkling her face at its taste, before handing the bottle back to Leanne. “No, I don’t. And I think you’ve got the right idea tonight. Do you mind sharing?”

Leanne shook her head. “My dad always told me to never drink alone. Bottoms up, Selena.” She tipped the bottle to her lips, drank deeply, and handed it over.

Selena staggered down the hallway, running her hand along the wall to steady herself. She stopped in front of a door and studied it before pressing her ear against it. The faint sound of guitar playing could be heard and she smiled with satisfaction before knocking.

The guitar stopped and she smiled again when she heard Reid’s footsteps. He was going to be –

The door opened and, still leaning against it, she fell forward into Reid’s hard body. He caught her instinctively and frowned at her. “Selena, what are you doing here?”

“What? I can’t knock on your door? It’s a free world, you know.” She pushed away from him and weaved into his apartment, glancing around curiously. It was on the small side and she eyed his unmade bed with interest before studying the posters on the wall. Most of them were of musicians and she trailed her hand along the neck of the guitar propped up against the couch.

“It’s two in the morning.”

“What are you? The time police?” She rolled her eyes before nearly tripping over the small footstool next to the couch.

“Are you – are you drunk?” He asked in disbelief.

“No, just tipsy.” She giggled. “Now Leanne on the other hand – wasted. The girl can’t hold her liquor.”

She toyed with the buttons on her shirt, a small smile crossing her face when his gaze dropped to her breasts.

“Where is Leanne?”

“I dropped her off in her room. She’s sleeping it off.” She shrugged.

“Why are you here?” He asked cautiously.

She pouted at him. “What? I can’t drop by for a visit? I thought we were friends.”

“We are.” He acknowledged. “But you should probably go back to your room before you do something you regret.”

“Like what?” She asked innocently.

He shook his head as a small grin crossed his face. “You know what. Here, I’ll walk you back to your room.”

He reached out to take her arm and she grabbed his hand and placed it on her breast.

“Whoa! Selena, this isn’t a good idea.”

She kept his hand on her breast with surprising strength for her size. “Hey, I’m just trying to be nice. Aren’t you the one who said you’ve never felt a real breast before?”

“No.” He said patiently as he struggled not to stroke his thumb over her hard nipple. “I said I hadn’t felt that many.”

“Well, here’s your chance to feel another. Go on.” She purred at him.

He closed his eyes and prayed for strength. “That’s very sweet of you, Selena, but you’re drunk and I’m not – “

He gritted his teeth when she threw herself against him and rubbed her small firm body against his. “I’m not drunk. I’m tipsy. There’s a difference.”

“No, there isn’t.” His hands were circling around her waist and she leaned into him before reaching behind him and squeezing his ass.

“Your ass is amazing.” She said softly.

“Thanks. Now that we’ve groped one another, what do you think about heading back to your room? We’ll go for a little walk, I’ll tuck you in to your nice warm bed and – “

“Will you sing me a song?” She asked.

“Uh, sure, if that will get you to go to your room, I’ll sing you a song.” He replied. He was starting to feel a bit desperate. Selena’s warm body, her hands kneading and stroking his ass, was giving him an erection despite his best intentions.

She suddenly gave a soft coo of delight before rubbing her flat belly against his cock. “Ooh, someone is happy to see me.”

“Selena…”

Sweat was breaking out on his forehead as she slipped her hands under his shirt and traced her fingers over his back. Her fingers were unbelievably soft and why did she have to smell so fucking good?

She stood on her tiptoes and tugged his head down to her mouth. “You were right, Reid. I do want you. I want you so badly I can’t sleep. Every night I crawl into my cold bed and I think about your mouth and your hands. Every night I slide my hand between my legs, and I rub my wet pussy and pretend it’s your hand touching me until I come so hard I can barely breathe.”

“Selena!” He hissed out. “Please…”

“It’s not enough for me anymore, Reid.” She sucked lightly on his earlobe. “I need you. I need you between my legs, and I need your cock in my pussy. Please, can you do that for me?”

“Yes.” He said hoarsely. “I can do that for you.”

“Good boy.” She whispered.

“But not tonight.” He said firmly. “Another night when you haven’t been drinking.”

She glared at him. “I told you I’m only tipsy.”

“I know but that’s still not – “

She yanked his head down and sucked roughly on his lower lip. “God, I love your mouth.” She muttered. “Do you know that? You have the nicest lips.”

He groaned and pulled her body up against his before slamming his mouth down over hers. He devoured her mouth hungrily, licking and kissing at her soft lips as she moaned sweetly. When she thrust her tongue into his mouth, he sucked firmly on it, and she arched her hips into him.

She tasted like whiskey and bad choices, and with a loud groan he forced his mouth away from hers. “Seriously, we need to stop.”

She frowned at him. “No, we don’t.”

“Yes, we – “

She grabbed the front of his shirt and yanked hard. The buttons flew off and she gave a soft squeal of delight before pressing her mouth against his bare chest. He groaned again and then cursed loudly when she sucked firmly on one flat nipple. His back arched and he cupped her head, threading his fingers through the dark curls as she sucked and licked.

“I think you like that.” She whispered. She licked her bottom lip as her hand squeezed between them and she cupped his cock.

“Hmm, something else wants a good sucking.” She winked at him.

“You are fucking killing me, woman!” He moaned.

She giggled softly before suddenly stripping her shirt off. He stared hungrily at her breasts and, his hands shaking, cupped them gently. He ran his thumbs over her nipples, feeling them harden against the soft material of her bra and she moaned loudly.

Her hands had moved to his belt and they were unbuckling, unbuttoning and unzipping. She slipped her hand into his jeans and wrapped her fingers around him.

“My goodness. You’re nice and thick, aren’t you?” She made a soft sound of delight and he moaned as she stroked him firmly.

“Sit down, Reid.” She surprised him by shoving him hard in the chest. He dropped with a loud grunt to the couch, and she quickly knelt between his legs before reaching into his jeans and tugging his cock free.

“Selena, wait!” He gasped out as she bent her head.

“I don’t want to.” She said primly before sliding her mouth over his cock.

At the feel of her wet, hot mouth, he cried out and forgot entirely about her making her stop. He forgot about her being drunk and being worried that he was taking advantage of her, and arched his hips up off the couch.

She made a muffled sound of surprise as his cock slid further into her mouth before she sucked enthusiastically. Her soft tongue traced the head of his cock as she slid her hand around the base of him and pumped firmly.

“Fuck!” He moaned as he threaded his fingers through her hair again and held tightly. She licked his entire cock before taking just the head into her mouth and sucking in a wet, hot rhythm that had his toes curling. He panted and moaned above her, his hips rising up and down helplessly as she brought him closer and closer to the edge.

“Selena!” He gasped. “I’m going to come!”

She stopped immediately and he made a soft groan of dismay as she climbed into his lap. She rubbed her pussy against him and grinned.

“We can’t have that, now can we, Reid?”

“I think we can.” He muttered.

She laughed and kissed him. He could taste himself on her mouth and it drove his need higher. He crushed her against his broad chest as he stroked her tongue and nipped lightly at her lips.

She reached between them and rubbed his cock. “I need you to fuck me, Reid. Right now. Will you? Will you make me feel good?”

“Yes.” He whispered. “Hell, yes.”

“Good.” She stroked his face with her soft fingers. “Take me to your bed. Make me yours.”

An odd little shiver went down his back at her words and he studied her carefully before tracing her bottom lip with his thumb. “Mine.”

“Yes.”

Without another word, he held her firmly and stood up. He carried her to the bed and set her down gently. He lay down next to her and placed his hand on her flat stomach as he kissed her upper chest lightly. She moaned in response and he moved to her throat, licking and sucking gently at her soft skin.

“Do you have a condom?” She muttered.

He sat up. “Yes, don’t move. I’ll be right back.” He stood up from the bed and gave her an almost anxious look. “Don’t go anywhere.”

She grinned as she traced her hands lazily along the quilt on his bed. “I’m not going anywhere, handsome.”

He turned and nearly ran to the bathroom. He popped open the medicine cabinet, groaning softly when the box of condoms wasn’t there.

“Fuck! Where the hell is it?” He muttered as he pawed through the contents of the medicine cabinet.

“Son of a bitch!” He bent and ripped open the door of the cabinet under the sink. He tossed things out carelessly as he rifled frantically through the cabinet for nearly five minutes.

“Oh come ON!” He nearly shouted with frustration. If he didn’t find the condoms he was about to be stuck with the worst case of blue balls in the goddamn history of blue balls. He muttered another curse and stuck his entire head into the cabinet. There was a muffled shout of triumph and he emerged clutching a box of condoms.

“Thank you, God.” He tipped a salute to the ceiling before leaving the bathroom.

Selena was curled on her side and he dropped on to the bed beside her and placed a soft kiss on her bare back. “We are good to go, sweetheart.”

There was no response and he placed his hand on her hip and shook her lightly. “Selena?”

She made a soft snoring noise and he leaned over her. She had passed out, and he groaned and collapsed on his back and stared up at the ceiling. His balls throbbed and his dick was hard as a rock, and he was still holding the now-useless box of condoms in his hand.

He sighed and dropped the box on to the floor beside the bed before tucking his hands under his head and taking a few deep breaths. Selena mumbled something in her sleep before turning and snuggling up to him. She put her arm around his waist and buried her face into his throat before slinging one thigh over his.

“Nighty night, handsome.” She murmured.

He sighed again before putting his arm around her and stroking the soft skin of her back. “Goodnight, sweetheart.”

The dark brown wolf backed away from the fallen deer. They had eaten their fill of meat and Will barked sharply at her as she made a low whine. He watched as the wolf began to shiver and shake and its whine turned into a hoarse cry as Hannah shifted back to her human form.

Will quickly shifted, wiping the blood from his mouth as Hannah stared in horror at the dead deer. “What - what have I done?”

She touched the blood smeared across her face. “Oh my God, I – “

She turned and staggered a few feet away before bending over and vomiting. Will hurried over to her and rubbed her back soothingly as he held her hair back. She continued to vomit until there was nothing left and she was dry-heaving wretchedly.

She wiped her mouth with a shaking hand and gave him a miserable look. “Oh god, Will.”

She stared at the mess of guts and blood she had vomited up and Will picked her up and carried her away. “Don’t look at it, my love.”

She started to cry, her naked body shaking in the cool air, as Will made soft noises of comfort. They were close to a small creek that ran through the forest and he sat her down next to it before dipping her hands into the water. He scrubbed them clean as she cried silently before using the clear, cold water to wash the blood from around her mouth.

“Honey, it’s okay. Don’t cry.” He pulled her into his embrace. She wasn’t cold, her Lycan half was keeping her warm, but she was shaking uncontrollably and the tears were still flowing down her cheeks.

“I’m sorry, I’m so sorry.” She moaned. “I don’t know why I did that. I just – I saw the deer with, well with my human half I guess, and there was so much blood and I ate the raw meat and – “

She dry heaved again, slapping her hand over her mouth as Will rocked her back and forth.

“You have nothing to be sorry about. This is my fault. I should not have allowed you to hunt so soon. I’m sorry, my love.”

They sat quietly until Hannah’s crying had slowed to the occasional sniffle. She wiped her hand across her nose before sighing quietly. “I suck at being a Lycan.”

“You don’t.” He kissed her forehead. “Most humans who are turned take months to start hunting. I should not have taken you hunting with me. It was stupid of me.”

“I don’t – I don’t think I ever want to hunt again.” She said softly.

“That’s fine. You don’t have to.” He replied soothingly. “Being a Lycan does not mean you have to hunt, Hannah. Alright?”

She nodded and curled closer into his warm, naked body before staring at the moon. “The moon is so pretty.” She whispered.

“It is.” He agreed.

“I’ll hunt when the moon is full, won’t I?” She said sadly. “Even if I don’t want to – I won’t be able to help it.”

“Maybe, maybe not. You’re strong, Hannah. If your human side is that opposed to hunting, it may be able to stop the Lycan in you from hunting.”

“I don’t think so.” She whispered. “I’m not as strong as you think I am, Will.”

“You are.” He replied firmly. “In another month or so, when you have better control of your wolf, you’ll understand.”

He hugged her tightly and then stood up, dropping her gently to her feet. “We should grab our clothes and go back. Okay?”

“Okay.” She gave him a wan smile and he kissed her again before leading her away from the creek.
