Chapter three
I ran after him and I lost him, until finally I heard what sounded like growling coming from down an alley across the street. I went over to the other side, hugged the façade of the brick building and looked around to see something that made my eyes go wide with surprise. A black bear was tangling with a white wolf. They were attacking each other and if I didn’t know any better, I would think that there was something personal involved in all of this.
I was about to call for help from animal control, but then something compelled me to watch this dance take place between two rival factions. It didn’t look like either one of them was going to back down.
The white wolf had blood on its paw and a bandage, which brought to mind the very thing that I had seen on Eric’s hand. It had to be a coincidence, but I had never believed in such a thing and that wasn’t going to be any different this time around. They were angry and they fought, until the black bear was hurt severely enough that it was necessary for it to run off in the other direction. I saw that the wolf was going to follow, but it stopped and turned towards a noise. I didn’t mean to do it, but my boots had scuffed the corner of the building. It only happened, because there was a little bit of ice left over from the rainstorm. I slipped and I caught the attention of an animal that didn’t look like it was use to being spied on.
It walked right over to me and stood there looking at me. I saw in its eyes something that couldn’t be. It sneezed and then shook its head and then it morphed and changed in a way that made me take a step back in horror and fascination.
I heard the cracking of the bones and all those things that my father said about there being no such things, as monsters came back to me in a flash of memory. I remember him telling me that life was unpredictable and there was no room for those things that didn’t have any semblance of being real. If he had seen what I had seen, then I think that he would have a change in tune. Unfortunately, he had died several months ago and I was still feeling his loss profoundly deep down inside. My mother had disappeared when I was younger and I had no way to reach out to her for comfort or anything of the sort.
A naked Eric was on all fours in front of me. I could see that he did not walk away from that fight unscathed. His face was bloody with claw marks and his body showed bruises that came from going toe to toe with an animal that was three times his size. I should’ve run the other way, but instead I put out my hand and helped him to stand.
I couldn’t help, but to notice that his cock was flaccid and still it rivaled some of those ones I had taken in the past. It had to be 6 inches of solid beef between his legs and that wasn’t even when he was excited.
He could barely stand and I saw a bundle of clothing peeking out from behind two garbage cans. He leaned against the building and I went to collect them, keeping my eye on where the bear had gone off to and straying my hand to the can of pepper spray in my brown Gucci purse.
He had the good fortune to change, most likely worried that changing into the wolf would destroy the expensive clothing that he had on. I helped him put on his pants, taking some liberties in feeling the length of him and touching him in a not so subtle way. I couldn’t help, but to grab a feel, even if it was inappropriate at the time.
“I’m not going to insult you by saying that it’s not what you think. I’m a werewolf and that was a bear shifter. We’ve been enemies for a long time. Sometimes I look back and try to think what started it all. I know that it had something to do with a girl, but her name escapes me.” He hobbled to the curb and thankfully there was a taxi driver nearby that came to the rescue.
The black man behind the wheel looked into his rearview mirror and saw the damage to Eric’s body. “I’m assuming that you want me to take you to a hospital. Then again, I have no idea what ‘you’ people do.” He was obviously mocking the very fact that we had money at our disposal.
Eric tossed a card into his lap “Take us there and don’t be stingy about flying through a couple of red lights.” There’s always something to say about people with money. It may not make you happy, but it does make things easier. I was sitting on the other side of him thinking about what I had seen and I was trying to put everything into perspective.
There was no need to talk and even Eric was unable to put into words what he had to say to me. Every time he turned to speak, he would have his mouth open, but then he would turn away like he was disgusted by the entire thing.
Keeping my voice low, I whispered to him “That had to be some kind of mass hallucination. There are no such things, as wearbears or werewolves for that matter.” I didn’t know how I could say such a thing, especially with the evidence being that overwhelming.
We got to the hotel and he quickly went to the front desk and flashed his smile. The man with the dark hair behind the counter jumped into action. He escorted us by a private elevator up to the penthouse floor, opening it with a private key and then helping him up the winding metal staircase to his master bedroom. There was nobody to greet us. I was surprised that he didn’t have a butler or a man Friday.
“I’ll be fine, Randal. Just make sure that I am not disturbed for 24 hours. I don’t care if the place is on fire.” This was not a side of him that I wanted to see. He was nasty, opinionated and was pushing his weight around like he owned the place. “Let me make this perfectly clear. If I am disturbed for any reason, then you will not have the luxury of me staying at your establishment ever again. I will also make it my mission to make sure that people like me shy away from this hotel. I think you know what kind of influence I have.” Randal bowed politely and left the room shaking in his boots.
“Eric, I don’t think it was necessary to berate him like that.” In a moment that I would look back at later and wonder how I got myself into this, I found myself being grabbed by his hand and being pulled onto the king size bed with the red silk sheets. If it was kind of predictable, but the kiss that he landed on my list was a lot more spontaneous. I tried to struggle free, but I don’t think that I was fighting very hard. He had his hands wrapped around me and his fingers playing my spine like a xylophone.
“I understand that if you want to leave and it’s not every day that you find out that the impossible is possible. You’re a woman of science and you’re probably trying to come up with a reasonable explanation to make yourself believe. Trust me, I’ve been doing that ever since that I was bit 25 years ago. I’ve been fighting him for almost 20 of those years. I don’t think that it’s ever going to stop, until one of us is 6 feet under. We know each other, so well that it’s like we are doing the two step. I know exactly what he’s going to do and he knows exactly what I’m going to do. We fall into the category of a stalemate.”
“There has to be a reason for this animosity between the two of you.” I was still lying on top of him and I could feel his projection of manhood striking up against my body. I hadn’t had a good fucking in a long time. His attention was causing all things sexual to stir to the surface. My breasts were poking into his chest and he wasn’t wearing a shirt. The jacket was removed and the only thing that was preventing me from seeing him au natural was the pair of pants.
“Believe me, I’ve tried to make peace, but he just won’t listen to me. He is, so wrapped up in the fact that I took away the love of his life that he can’t see straight. Once I open my mouth, I find myself entrenched in a battle for my life. It’s getting old and I’m hoping that he feels the same way. I want to put all this behind us, so that we can live normally and not endanger innocent bystanders. Those two girls got into the middle of us and we couldn’t stop, even if we wanted to. Our animal sides were attacking and the only thing that was going to stop us was either death or an injury.”
“That would explain the two girls, but what about the guy that’s in a coma.” I figured that I may as well learn what I could. I decided to treat this, as an experiment and work it from every angle.
“He panicked and tried to pull a gun on us. That was the first and only time that
we ever worked together towards a common goal. We hunted him down and we tore into him, until we were able to finally pull ourselves away. He was still alive and I think we deserve some credit for reining in the animal. It’s not the first time that each of us has had blood on our hands and it probably won’t be the last.” I hadn’t noticed, but during our interaction, he had somehow relieved me of my black leather jacket, pulled my dress down over my healthy bosom and had now buried his head in between.
Chapter four
I tried to collect my thoughts and get into the frame of mind of wanting to walk away. It wasn’t easy and the way that he was touching me was igniting all those little nerves. I was almost powerless against his advances. I finally said fuck it, pulling down the dress and showing him what I was hiding underneath. My bra was already a distant memory, tossed aside like it was day old bread. My panties were stripped from my chaffed thighs, leaving a red strip where they had once been. Those marks streaked across the inside of both of my thighs.
“The one thing that I can tell you, Sheila is that you are a woman after my own heart. I’ve always had a desire to be with a woman of color and substance and you certainly fit those criteria down to the letter. He kissed me again, but it was not on my mouth. I strained my muscles, lifting my body into the air, as he stuck me with his tongue and made me feel it. I sensed that there was an animal component within him and it was that ferocity that made me want to stay here.
“If I was being honest, I would have to say that I’ve never had any interest in white men before. You might be the only one that has gotten past first base. I was using a sports metaphor, something that I wasn’t very comfortable with, but it seemed fitting.
“I have no interest in getting to first base. My interest is going around all the bases and then sliding into home.” He continued to explore my flesh, delving deeper and showing me nothing that would even resemble mercy. The feeling was indescribable and I wanted to tell him that if he didn’t stop that I was going to give him a different kind of mustache.”
“I feel like I’m spinning on my heels and I want you to know that I don’t think that I’ve felt like this with any other man.” I had my hands gripping the pillowcases, holding them tightly and digging my fingernails through the fabric like it was made of butter. I should’ve been worried that he would change me with one bite, but for some reason it never even entered into my mind.
“I’m feeling a little lightheaded myself, but I don’t think it even compares to what you’re going to feel in a few seconds.” That was a bold claim to make and then shooting fireworks appeared in front of my eyes. My body lifted to meet his tongue thrusts and then just like that, I was finding that moment of inner enjoyment. There was no other way to describe it, as I thrashed and moved against his face. I thought that I would break his nose, but he was conscious enough to keep me plastered and writhing in a pleasurable agony that I never wanted to stop.
“Fuck me…fuck me…you just took my breath away.” I had barely gotten those words out of my mouth, when he buried himself. There was no room for error and his stroke was with precision. I felt like I was sick and that I would wake up and he would be gone. I closed my eyes to what I was going through, feeling my stomach twisting in knots. I finally came down from that immeasurable high. I looked down between my breasts to see that we were joined.
He kissed me again, while pistoning in and out between my thighs. He never gave me a chance to gather my thoughts, as I was now consumed with the need to feel him deep inside. His face contorted and I could tell that he was struggling with keeping the wolf inside. He obviously wanted to let it out to play, but I had this funny feeling that it wouldn’t be good for anybody.
“Your body is a marvel of god’s mechanics. You have a very nasty little hole that can’t get enough of what I’m giving it. I have to tell you that the wolf is very happy. I’ve never felt him, so calm and in control.” It was strange hearing him talking about the wolf, as if it was a separate part of his identity. Maybe he wanted to keep the wolf and the man away from each other, but I didn’t think that was even possible. “I love the way that my cock feels and the way that your pussy grabs onto it and never lets go.” It was doing that and I could swear that I had a tight glove down below that I didn’t even know existed before.
It had to have something to do with the animal inside him. It was bringing about these changes in me. I’d never felt so fired up that I had to have a man by any means necessary. He had obviously had this effect on me and it wasn’t like I could fight back. It wasn’t even like that I wanted to fight back. It was nice to wander down this road and reach into a part of my psyche that I thought was only for those that were comfortable in their own skin. For most things, I was, but sex was an entirely new breed of problems.
“I love having your cock and you will surely know how to work what you’re blessed with.” I didn’t even think it was possible that I would be able to take something of that magnitude. He really did have me at a loss for words, something that had not happened in all these years that I have been living on this planet. “If you don’t mind, I would really like you to speed things along. I don’t want this to end, but I’m this close and all I need is that extra special touch to get me there…AAAHHHHHH.” I was no longer calling the shots and my body was now taken me for a ride that I did not request or even desire at the time.
He turned me, so that I was the one in the driver’s seat. I put my hands on his chest, feeling his heart beating against my fingertips and knowing that he had nowhere better that he needed to be. I could also tell that his wounds were healing and maybe it had the influence of the wolf to feed off of, or maybe it was the sexual energy that was surrounding the both of us. Whatever it was, it was bringing him back to what he once was. There was no weakness and I saw nothing to indicate that he was in any sort of pain. He did moan, but that was because I was driving my hips down on top of him with an insistence that came from knowing that he was keeping something from me.
“Sheila, you have been a very interesting surprise. Yes…fuck me with that sweet little body of yours. Show me no mercy.” He was obviously into this and he was meeting me with thrusts of his hips, as I was coming down for that inevitable strike against our thighs. We were both naked and in our own little world and nobody was going to pull us away from serving each other’s needs.
“I’m going to…fucking cum.” That was the only way that I could describe it, but it was so much more than that. It was like we were connected body and soul and I could actually feel the wolf scratching to get out. It was overexcited and I could tell that a part of him had changed. His chest was now covered with hair all the way down to his belly button and it was soft to the touch. I rode him and made sure that he was well aware of the fact that I was not going to abandon him.
“I’m so sorry I’m very sorry about this… YESSSSS.” His loins were on fire and then I felt the expulsion of his seed, as it fired from the tip and drove into me like a gunshot. One after the other, I was surprised by the force, but I was actually able to have a third orgasm during his own. It was then that the window shattered and it was lucky that the bed was not situated in such a way that it would be able to get in the line of fire of those shards of glass.
Chapter five
I felt myself in the air and then I landed heavily on my padded ass. It hurt, but mostly I bruised my ego. I was momentarily stunned, after such a climactic moment, but I was able to wrestle myself to my feet in time to see these two animals going at it again.
They went through the door and they crashed through the railing and down onto the glass coffee table. I was naked and I had to grab something to cover myself, which turned out to be a white fluffy robe that was hanging haphazardly on the door that was almost ripped off its hinges.
I took off down the stairs, moving my heavy ebony body at a speed that I hadn’t moved, since I was younger and a lot less weight.
They were attacking each other and once again it didn’t look like it
was going to end, until one of them could no longer breathe.
“I think that’s more than enough. This has been going on too long and it’s time for the both of you to stop acting like children. The past is the past and if you can’t get over it, then you may as well just continue, until one of you are dead. Don’t kid yourself. Just because it hasn’t happened yet, doesn’t mean that it’s not gonna happen.” This stopped them and they look towards me. I think that they were trying to understand what was going on. “I mean it…if you insist on doing this, then you may as well just get it over with. I don’t think that this is really what you both want. Living in harmony might not be an easy thing to do, but it only takes one person to make a difference.”
I didn’t want anything to happen to Eric. He had been very kind, all be it in a way that was most unexpected. The passion had been unparalleled and there was no denying that the chemistry between us was something that was going to keep us coming after each other.
I stood there and waited for them to finally come to the conclusion that this was barbaric and not necessary. They may never be friends, but surely they could leave each other in peace. They stared at each other and then the anger that I had seen earlier was now disappearing. The wolf was the first to make the first move, turning the other cheek and changing back into the human form of Eric.
The bear shifter could have killed him in that moment of weakness, but it decided that it was better off changing back to its normal human form.
“I don’t think that I have ever told you this, Quinn. I really do regret my part in taking away the one true love of your life. If it helps you sleep better at night, I was never able to satisfy her. I think you know what I mean by that.”
“Actually, it does help a little. I guess we may have taken this a step or two too far. I don’t like you, but it does make me smile to think that you are not capable of giving her what she wanted. I always thought that it was me, but apparently she’s just the dictionary meaning of an ice queen.” They had found common ground and it turned out to be an unsatisfactory love life with the woman that had gotten in between them.
