SHE ACTUALLY COMPLETED the bond with me. Excitement coursed through Walter’s body while he looked at Amethyst’s sleeping form. When he had walked up the stairs earlier in the morning, he honestly didn’t think she was giving him herself. Part of him wondered if she truly wanted kids. The idea sent a shiver down his body. He didn’t want to be a dad, he knew without a doubt he wasn’t father material. I hope she doesn’t go into heat anytime soon.
He moved a section of purple and brown hair back from her face, her eyes fluttered open. A smile lifted her soft lips, and she stretched out her body. “Crap I need to call in.” She scrambled off the bed and ran out of the room. A light cough met his ears, and he stood to make sure she was okay. She coughed again and looked up at Walter while on the phone.
“Yeah, tomorrow I should be better. I’m so sorry.” She coughed once more and then hung up with a grin. “I’ve never played hooky before.” She looked amazing standing naked in his hallway.
“Really?” Walter smiled. He wrapped his hands around her waist and leaned in to kiss her.
“We should eat, Walter.” She looked up at him through her eyelashes which only heightened his desire to have her again. Denying her when she went into heat would be hell but he didn’t have to worry about it till later.
“I need you. It’s my birthday after all.” He leaned down and kissed her neck making her moan. “And you don’t need to go into work.” This time he nipped at her shoulder, her body pressed into him.
“True, I don’t have work now.” Amethyst grabbed his ass making his cock twitch.
“And your sexy little body is still naked.” His cock pressed against her tummy.
“What are you going to do about it?” she whispered into his ear. He knew exactly what he wanted to do in the hallway. Slowly, he moved their bodies toward the wall, he caged her in.
She leaned her head back and met his gaze.
“I’m going to fuck you right here.” Walter gripped her hips tightly.
“What are you waiting for?” Amethyst smiled making him groan. He lifted her body, using the wall to keep her steady, and placed his cock at her entrance. With one swift thrust, he entered her.
“Yes!” Amethyst cried out in pleasure. He gripped her hips tightly while he pushed deep into her. He couldn’t go slow, something about her demanded he gave it all he had. The harder he thrust the more ragged her breathing became. He loved the way she surrendered her body to him. His balls tightened.
“Cum for me, Amethyst.” Walter kissed her neck. Her core tightened around his cock, sending him over the edge. Together they reached their bliss before slowly coming back down to earth. “You’re beautiful when you cum.”
Amethyst placed her lips on his in a soft kiss.
“I have an idea of what we could do today.” Amethyst wiggled in his arms. He liked having her so close.
“What’s that?” Walter set her onto the floor and a smile lit up her face.
“We should go on a run together in our wolf forms. My wolf is itching to get out and have fun with yours.” She rubbed her finger over his chest.
“Sounds like fun but you, my dear, need to get clean first.” Walter lifted her back up and carried her to the shower for another round of hot shower sex. She was all his, and he wanted to take advantage of it. Especially since he would have to be good when the heat came. Walter thought about how bad of a father he might be as he pulled on his robe.
“Come on,” Amethyst grabbed his hand and they walked down the stairs to the backyard. Amethyst grinned from ear to ear as she pushed the soft blue robe to the ground.
“You remember how to shift back right?” Walter asked, and she nodded. He leaned forward and focused on letting his wolf out to play. Slowly, his wolf took a front seat in his mind, pushing the witch back. Amethyst bowed over and brown fur covered her body. He loved her in her human form but his wolf loved her with the fur.
They stretched out their new forms and Amethyst led the way out of his yard. After a few minutes through the backyards of other witches, they reached the north end of Austin. The farther they moved north the more Walter thought about the battle with Kerine. Amethyst stopped in the place where a year ago the Crescent Coven fought with the Moon Coven. In the end, the battle was more of an execution of the Elder Kerine than an outright fight.
Walter shifted out of his wolf form. He looked around the valley and images of the battle flooded into his mind. Another reason he didn’t want to be a dad, he knew he’d done something bad with Kerine but he couldn’t remember. How the hell will I be able to protect a child from the Kerines of the world?
“Are you okay, Walter?” Amethyst moved closer to him. She helped to calm his racing heart as the memories faded.
“Yeah, I’m fine, just a little out of it.” Walter glanced down into her lake-blue eyes, worry reflecting his own unease.
“What happened here?” Amethyst glanced around the field.
“This is where Kerine died. I thought after that my life would get back on track. There were no more threats to my life, but I had betrayed everyone’s trust when I had been protecting them.” He wanted to tell his family everything but every time he had started to explain, something happened. He rubbed the back of his head, trying to clear his thoughts.
“Why don’t you tell them why you did it?” Amethyst wrapped her arm around his waist.
“Why would they believe me? If I told them and they still didn’t believe I did it all for them, then I’m still stuck.” Walter shook his head.
“And if you tell them and they forgive you, then you will be able to start moving on.” Amethyst paused and glanced around. “It’s the reason I completed the bond with you. You showed me you’re a good person inside and sexy as hell out.” She leaned her head on him.
Walter smiled at that last part. He knew she was right, on some level but he didn’t want to face it.
“Maybe tonight I’ll talk to them.” Walter leaned down and kissed her head.
“Sounds like a good idea.” Amethyst leaned up and kissed him. “How long is the spell binding us supposed to last? Do you know?”
“I’m not sure. Do you want to test it out?” Walter didn’t want her to go too far but let her walk a few paces away. There was no physical pull to be next to her but more of a mental pull instead.
“I think the spell faded.” Amethyst smiled. She tilted her head back. Walter’s body buzzed with magical energy, he knew the moon covered half of the sun, the totality of the solar eclipse would be soon.
“I wonder if it has something to do with us mating,” Walter called out trying to remember the different kinds of binding spells.
“Might be.” Amethyst snapped her head to the east. “Did you hear that?”
Walter looked where she stared but didn’t see anything. He wondered if he caught a shadow but he couldn’t be sure. Instincts kicked in and he moved closer to Amethyst. In the back of his mind, he knew something was wrong, but he didn’t know what. Walter snapped his fingers, covering their bodies with the clothes they wore before their run.
The light faded as the moon covered more of the sun. Once totality hit, Walter would be at his strongest for about five minutes.
“I found some wolves alone!” someone called out, making Walter’s skin crawl. Hunters!
