“Nigel is an insipid fool and I’ve been this close to snapping his neck. You don’t have to put up with that kind of nonsense. I have everything that you need right here underneath this roof. Your own lab is in the basement and I stole all of your research.” Lyon had never been one to mince words. It was time to tell her the truth. “I’m in a bit of a bind and let’s just say that you bring a certain element to my life that has been missing lately. I do desire a relationship with you, but it’s not in the way that you think.” Liam wanted to believe that, but seeing her these few weeks had made his groin ache for something more than just a collaboration of minds. In his natural form of a gorilla that feeling was enhanced even more so. He wanted to have her, but it was her analytical mind that initially attracted him to bringing her aboard. “I have a condition that needs your medical expertise. I don’t want you to consider yourself a prisoner, but essentially you are to remain inside this place for as long as I deem it necessary.”
“I’m not a doctor. I’m a research scientist. I’m afraid that this might be something of a mistaken identity. I don’t know what you expect from me, but going about it this way is only going to make me fight harder to get away.” Erica didn’t dare let the sheets go and it was quite obvious that this man had taken liberties with her clothing. “I don’t want to get you angry, but taking my clothes off was a definite invasion of my privacy.” “I need to tell him that I’m not some kind of prize. I’ve always been a bit of a loner and coming here to the mountains of Montana was not an easy thing for me to do. I was terrified, but Nigel promised me the world and he had delivered it on a platter.
“I’ve never had anybody in my life and I’m tired of waiting for the right one to accept me. I want a normal life and you’re the only one that has been even close to getting an answer. Your work with genetics and stem cell research has not gone unnoticed. I can assure you that I have no ulterior motives about getting you into bed. My main focus is to cure me and then to move on with the rest of my life. You think that you have the cure for cancer and you might have that, but you also have something else. I know that this is going to be hard for you to believe, but I’m not exactly normal.” He didn’t quite know how to say the words, even though he did stand in the mirror for days trying to come up with the right words.
“What you need is a real doctor and why you think that I can help you with my research in a mystery to me.” Erica was trying to remain calm, but inside she was shaking like a leaf. She didn’t even know this man and yet there was this attraction that had her wanting to touch him. “I’m sure that whatever is happening to you can be dealt with in a hospital where they have the machines and the technology to go that extra mile.” What Erica didn’t know was that the lab downstairs was nothing, but the best. One look at what he had to offer and she would be practically on her knees begging him to stay. “Maybe being kind is the best way to get him to realize his mistake. I find him uniquely fascinating and the long dark hair and brooding deep blue eyes is seriously making me wonder what it would be like to be underneath him.
“I thought about what I was going to tell you when the time came, but I guess there really is only one way to do this. When I said that I wasn’t normal, I meant it in the most profound way possible. It was during my trip to the zoo when I was 18 that I got a little careless and too close to one of the exhibits. The gorilla in the cage bit me and I never did tell anybody. It wasn’t until later on that I started to put the pieces together. I even videotaped myself and maybe the best way for you to learn the truth is to see it for yourself like I did.” Lyon turned on the video and the screen appeared like magic from a cabinet across from the bed. Everything came to life on 52 inches of screen.
Erica had no idea what she was going to see, until the realization had her dropping the sheet and crawling on her hands and knees to get a better look. Even naked, she didn’t feel any shame and her eyes were transfixed on the young man that Lyon was a few years ago. She had to shake her head several times, but the proof was right there. It had to be some kind of trick of the light or camera lens or maybe some special effects like you would see in blockbuster summer movies. “It can’t be and there’s no possible way you could be an animal. I’ve heard of shape shifters, but I’ve never actually believed that they existed.” “As a scientist, I need more than just something that I can see on a screen. It’s quite convincing, but I’m just not sure what I’m seeing. Of course this means that I need to request something that I’m not sure that he’s going to be willing to give me.”
“I’ve been watching you and I’ve learned how your mind works. You may see it on the screen, but a lifelike example is the only thing that’s really going to convince you. I had a feeling that it would come down to this, but I was hoping that you wouldn’t make me walk down that path willingly again.” Lyon walked out of the room and was barely aware that his new charge had now followed him without hesitation. “It took a lot for me to adjust to my new set of circumstances years ago. I’ve been searching high and low for a cure. I’ve used considerable resources and money at my disposal through my family. Imagine my surprise when I found out about your research. I know, nothing is sacred anymore and these kinds of secrets have ways of finding their way into the light of day.”
“I’m guessing that Nigel might have had something to do with it. He did mention in passing that he was going to reach out to some people for necessary introductions. I would say that he moved past that and is trying to sell my research to the highest bidder. I should have known that was what his true agenda was going to be, but I really did believe at the time that he was on the level.” Erica watched him hunched over and then his suit began to shred down the middle with a profound backbone coming out to shape into something that was even more terrifying than being kidnapped. “If I hadn’t seen it, I wouldn’t have believed it.” Her eyes were glued to the spot and there was no way that she could deviate from where she was or what she was doing at the time.
The gorilla shook off the rest of the remaining clothes and leaped from the banister down onto the floor with barely a whisper. It had to weigh 300 pounds and yet it landed like the softness of a cat leaping from a couch to the floor. It pounded its chest and turned its attention toward causing havoc. Furniture went flying in all directions like it weighed nothing. He tore into the mahogany bar throwing bottles and smashing glass like that of a kid having a tantrum. It pounded that bar into kindling, until it was breathing heavy and standing with its hands firmly on the wood of the floor. Lyon was inside using considerable concentration to bring himself under control.
It was always the same way and once transformed, he had to let the beast tire itself out before tethering it to his mind. It took a lot of hard work to get this far, but he was through playing by the beast rule. He changed back and was on his hands and knees looking up at the concerned expression on Erica’s face. “I’m lucky that I had the forethought to come down here and away from doing you harm. I’m there at all times and I’ve seen that other part of me do some heinous things. I won’t go into detail, but there have been death and blood on my hands that I can never wipe away. This is why I have chosen you and it was destined that we were going to meet eventually.”
Erica put her two hands on his shoulder and in this position of kneeling at her feet; it felt almost serendipitous that this moment had happened. His hands gripped her thigh and the stockings that were smug up against her legs. He ripped them by reaching up underneath her skirt and pulling with enough force that it made her gasp with approval to his actions. “Whoa… I didn’t think that you were going to do that. I would say that the beast is still in there somewhere and it’s acting out on your behalf.” The grazing of his hand down the inside of her thigh had her holding onto his shoulders for some kind of support. “I can’t explain it, but I want him and I need him inside me. I know that this is the influence of the gorilla, but I can’t help the way that I’m feeling. I want him to show me the animal underneath the animal that he become
s by getting agitated.”
“I always get this way, but I’ve never had anybody here to witness it. I’ve always had to take matters into my own hands. I do have to say that being connected to this thing has its advantages. My stamina is a lot more than it was when I was even a teenager. I can go all night and I don’t know how many times I’ve shot my load with my hand in one night. My own personal best was 16 times. I know that seems impossible, but hand to god it’s the truth.” He kissed the bare skin of her leg, drawing his tongue in a straight line up to the crevice between her legs. The wetness that soaked through her panties was more of an aphrodisiac. Seeing him like this with the gorilla still inside him lurking in the darkness was too tempting an offer to pass up.
“I know that your condition is causing me to feel this way. It’s going to be up to you to stop this from happening.” This is the kind of sex I’ve been looking for and I’ve never found it, until this very moment. The scent in the air has the pheromone of sex and I want more of it. “I want you to eat my pussy and to make me moan with unbridled passion. You did say that you were quite proficient and it’s about time that you show me. I should be more shocked than this, but I’m not. Call it a scientific curiosity. I don’t believe that I’ll ever be in this position again. Why not take advantage of it. I would be kicking myself if I didn’t and I don’t believe in having regrets.”
Chapter 3
Looking up into her eyes, Lyon knew that he was never going to back down from a challenge like that one. “I’m not sure that you know what you’re asking. I brought you here to help me and not to be used like some common whore. I don’t see why they have to be mutually exclusive. Business and pleasure is made to go hand in hand.” He lifted her startled body off her feet and carried her heavy body encircled in his arms like that from a scene of an officer and a gentleman.
“I want to help you, but for right now I want you to help me out of my clothes. They are feeling a little too tight and besides, I believe that one of us is wearing too much. It doesn’t seem fair that you are naked and that I’m fully clothed and at the mercy of your hungry eyes.” “I want him to stay with me and for this moment he is all that I need. The fire I see in his eyes is not making me back down from this course of action. Whatever has infected his DNA is giving him this irresistible quality. It seems important that I should pull back, but my body is telling one thing and my mind is saying another. This is the way that sex should be and he has certainly brought about something in me that I never knew was there before.”
“This feeling for you didn’t just start today. You were always going to be here and I knew deep down that you were meant to stay with me, as my caregiver and possibly the one that is going to release me from this self imposed prison. I don’t allow it out, unless I can’t control it during the full moon. I’ve been procrastinating. I should’ve taken you long before now, as the full moon is approaching in the next couple of days. That doesn’t give you a lot of time. I’m not sure that I can survive the next time I change during the full moon. Each time makes me feel like I’m losing a part of myself. I don’t know how I know, but this next time is going to be the last time.” He laid her on the bed and proceeded to rip off her clothes.
“You are one fucking real man and that has been vastly lacking from my life. I thought that I was immune to anything that was just physical, but maybe there’s more here than meets the eye.” The scientist in me knows that this is just a reaction to the blood lust running through his veins. The woman in me wants more than anything to ride his cock and make him compliant to my wishes. I’m not sure which one is going to win out, but I’ve got a feeling it’s going to be my body that’s going to call the shots. I don’t think I would want it any other way.”
“Erica, I know that this is wrong and that I should have enough sense to know that you don’t really want to do this. I would like to say that I can stop, but there’s no way that I can with a straight face.” He looked upon her loveliness and felt the beast within unable to contain its excitement by having her in this submissive position. “I’ve missed everything that there is about sex. I can’t trust myself with other women, but maybe with you it can be different.” He moved his hands through her hair, looking into her eyes and seeing a compliant woman ready to do practically anything.
“You make it hard for me to see the writing on the wall, Lyon.” Erica looked at the impressive stiffness and wrapped her hand around the base to get a feel for it. It was everything that she wanted and more. She’d never felt so overwhelmed by a man and it was something that she didn’t know that she needed, until this very moment. “I have to have you and I ache for the feel of you to fill me up.” She had never said these words before to anyone and it felt like she was losing a part of herself. “I know that what I saw was real, but I still can’t wrap my mind around the fact that he’s a gorilla. I’ve seen with my own eyes and still I’m having trouble to adjust to my new set of circumstances. I see him as the perfect man and I know that it’s just his natural animal pheromones talking for him. I wonder if I will feel the same way if he were to be cured tomorrow. I can’t think like that and there’s no use in thinking about the future when the present is right here in front of me.”
“I’ve been running from the pain for too long and it’s a shame that you haven’t come into my life until now. My heart has been feeling empty and maybe what I needed most of all was not somebody to take care of me. What I needed most of all was somebody that was going to accept me and not to look at me like I was some sort of freak. Your scientific background has given you an interesting insight and you don’t seem to be afraid.” Lyon had never felt his cock so hard and all the blood from the rest of his body had now accumulated in that one very spot. His shaft was throbbing and that vein looked like it was something of an alien entity of its own.
He kissed her deeply, feeling her losing her composure and giving into those natural tendencies that come with a man and woman finding one another after so long. He used his knee to insinuate in between to get her ready for more than just a casual glance. His tongue found hers and they dueled like that of the renaissance to see who was going to come out the victor. It was like they were matched and that their bodies were pretty much in tune with one another.
The kiss was something special and she looked up into his eyes after they had separated to see more than just passion. This was a connection that went beyond a casual one night stand. She watched him intently, as he dipped below and started to make sweet love to her nipples. They were already erect, but they had become rock hard underneath his competent attention. “I lie here and let him take his pleasure from me and I’m getting the exact same thing in return. I’m not sure that I should give in this easily. I’ve never been one to just throw caution to the wind. I’ve always been more selective and took my time to get to know someone. This is different and it’s like we have always known each other and didn’t even know it.”
Erica was somebody that he didn’t expect to have in his life. He was going to take full advantage of this wonderful gift that had been laid right on his bed. All of his doubts went out the window and somehow he knew that this was meant to be. He left her nipples coated in his spit and moved down with his tongue taking some liberties by dipping into her navel. She giggled and that only enforced his desire to take her to new Heights of pleasure that she had never known before.
“Time stands still when I’m with you, Lyon. I’m trying to be brave and not do something stupid to ruin this. I’m fighting my natural tendencies and this urge to run is almost too powerful to resist. Fortunately, your body and the way that you look at me tells me that I have nothing to worry about.” She threw her chest into the air with her nipples straining to the ceiling. She let out a moan that was very deep and had no hidden meaning.” “I don’t know how I’m going to feel in the morning. I should’ve considered that before I did something, as reckless as getting involved with the man that kidnapped me. I should be cross with him, but I think I under
stand his motivation for doing something like that. His tongue ignites every part of my body and I know that being with him is the only thing that matters.”
“I have died every day waiting for you, Erica. I lost my breath the moment that I saw you for the first time. I thought it was that feeling of having nobody in my life that was causing me to react like that, but now I know different.” He lifted her legs onto his shoulders and it didn’t matter how much she weighed. She was beautiful and had a glow about her that he couldn’t pinpoint where it was coming from. It was like this natural aura of sex had surrounded them both and the only way to escape it was to succumb to their basic nature.
“I need you to eat me.” She turned her head to the side whipping her hair across the pillow, as he insinuated his tongue passed the lips of her resistance. “Oh god…you don’t know how long it has been.” Her confession was not meant for him to stop and it did the exact opposite. Her repression from her sexuality had now been awakened in a very profound way with his tongue now taking what her body had been waiting to give to someone. “I’m not usually one for being this open, but he really does take my breath away. I see the animal inside and I wonder what it’s going to take to unleash it from its cage. Will it be my orgasm or maybe his that finally allows me to see him as he was truly meant to be. What will my reaction be when he turns again?” She didn’t get a chance to really think about it. His tongue had now reached the very spot that every woman was begging their man to find.
