Tony nuzzled Kim’s sensitive neck as he caressed her firm B-cup breasts through her bra. “I have something special in mind for you tonight; last time was a little sudden. I want to take my time with you this evening. Show you what I’m really like.” Tony murmured in her ear while nibbling it.
“Mmm, I hope it’s worth it,” She whispered with a smile as she pulled away just long enough to remove her t-shirt. She leaned back in for another passionate kiss while wrapping her arms around Tony’s strong shoulders. Their lips met and their tongues stroked each other once again. Kim breathed in Tony’s musk and allowed herself to be swept away by the pheromones it contained.
Tony reached around her back and unclasped Kim’s bra and cast it aside. He lay her down on the futon and grinned, looking at her slim, topless body. He undid her tight jeans and pulled them off of her slim hips. Her tan skin gleamed in the dim lamplight. He took in her beauty as he stood up. Tony lifted Kim off of the futon, and she wrapped her arms around his neck. He took her to her bedroom and lay her down on the bed he had helped put together after her move.
“Stay right here, I need to go get something from the living room,” he said as he left the bedroom. He hastily took off his shirt and jeans, but left his boxers on, since he was pretty modest about his manhood. One time a woman he dated had seen it and fainted.
Tony grabbed the paper bag he had left in the living room and walked back to the bedroom. He smiled as he set it down next to the mattress.
Kim looked up and appreciated Tony’s lean, muscular frame. His muscles weren’t bulky, but still well defined. He definitely moved with a cat-like grace in everything he did. His tan skin shone with a thin sheen of sweat, due to it being warm in the house. She didn’t want to open any windows to give Smiley a chance to break and enter.
He sat back down on the bed. He smiled warmly at Kim as she reached for one of his lean legs. Her warm hand snaked up towards the leg of his boxer shorts in an attempt to give him pleasure. He grabbed her hand and stopped her.
“Shh, just being near you drives me crazy enough as it is. I don’t think I’ll be able to handle you touching me,” he smoothly lied as he bent down to kiss her.
She wondered why he didn’t want her touching his manhood, but she rolled with it for now. He might not be as comfortable with her as he let on; she’d figure it out eventually.
Kim’s train of thought was interrupted as she felt his mouth kiss and nibble its way down to her sensitive nipple. She moaned as he drew it into his hot mouth while his hand massaged her other breast. He lightly grazed her nipple with his teeth, which elicited a cry of delight from Kim’s throat.
His hand moved from her breast down her abdomen, and towards her moist womanhood. Shocks of pleasure surged through her body as his hand made its way down to the moist juncture between her thighs.
She craved his touch; the deep musky odor he exuded as he lay over her caused her senses to swim. She abandoned all rational thought, willingly this time, and let Tony work his magic on her body. No more fighting, not anymore.
Tony smiled to himself as Kim lay on the bed, panting, as his fingers gently grazed her dewy cleft, her eyes closed with pleasure, eagerly expecting the next jolt of erotic pleasure. He gently spread her smooth pussy lips with his long, sensitive fingers and gently stroked the warm, moist folds within.
Kim cried out with pleasure as Tony softly touched her most intimate area. While she was distracted, he reached into the bag and pulled out a bottle of warming massage oil. He pushed open the top with his free hand and drizzled some over Kim’s soft mound.
Kim gasped as the cool oil dripped on her skin, the sensation jolted her unexpectedly, but it wasn’t an unpleasant jolt. She then felt Tony’s fingers massage her sex causing the oil to warm up.
Kim began to move her hips and moan as Tony’s fingers massaged her inner lips. Up and down, gently pinching each side and rubbing the oil gently into her already sensitive folds. He purposefully avoided her pleasure pearl as he gently massaged her. His fingers picked up more moisture from her deep, eager well as she became more and more aroused at his ministrations. He then judged it was a good time to concentrate on her erect, pink clit.
Kim cried out in pleasure as Tony gently rubbed her pleasure bud with his sensitive, oil covered fingers. He gently squeezed and tugged on her sensitive clit causing her to cry out more in response. Her climax began to build as he gently teased her button with his hot, oily digits. He noticed she was about to orgasm, and kept up his expert massage of her sex. Stroking her exposed clit with well-oiled hands, the combination of cinnamon, ginger and a bit of capsaicin from the massage oil drove her wild. Her nerves were on fire, in a good way, and before long, Kim cried out as her orgasm washed over her, filling Tony’s hand with her juices.
Tony brought his hand up from Kim’s quivering womanhood and inhaled deeply. Her sexy musk mingling with the cinnamon flavored oil caused his desire to surge to the point that his animal instincts almost kicked in. He shook his head to gain control of himself once again as he stared down at the panting Kim. Her eyes opened up and looked at Tony with an expression of lust he had never seen before on a woman. He growled in his throat and bent down to kiss her.
She returned his passion in kind. She allowed her animalistic nature to take over as well. Deep within her she felt something awaken. She didn’t know what it was, nor did she care at that time but she let out a growl in Tony’s ear as he nipped at her neck with desire.
She felt his mouth move down her body, stopping briefly at each breast to draw in and lightly graze a nipple with his sharp teeth, sending Kim’s body rocking with pleasure mixed with pain. Tony’s hungry mouth moved down Kim’s flat, tanned stomach and rested on the small patch of dark pubic hair she allowed herself to keep.
“Put your legs up,” he instructed. Kim followed his command and put her feet flat on the mattress and bending her knees, spreading her legs provocatively. “Now close your eyes,” he ordered.
Kim did as she was told, quivering in anticipation. She knew he wouldn’t hurt her, but she was uncertain as to what game he wanted to play. All of a sudden she felt a cool, round object being inserted into her canal and her eyes flew open.
“Keep ‘em closed,” Tony growled. “I just want a little dessert after that wonderful meal. I like grapes but I like to eat them a certain way.” He popped in a few more of the green grapes causing Kim to shudder with pleasure.
Tony knelt down and moved Kim’s hips to the edge of the bed. He inhaled her sweet, spicy scent as he licked her with his rough tongue. She cried out with pleasure as he sampled her juices. “Shh, don’t move, you don’t want to crush them,” he whispered as she bucked up.
Kim felt his tongue snake into her moist canal and fish out a grape; he placed his mouth on her sopping wet opening and applied a bit of suction, and popped out a grape. He relished the combination of sweet grape juice and Kim’s tangy love juices as he drew each fruit from Kim’s sweet well.
Kim was mewling with ecstasy as she gripped the sheets while Tony enjoyed his sweet feast. After he had finished eating the grapes, his tongue swept up and down Kim’s pink folds to clean up any residual grape juice. He then moved upwards towards her clit and placed his mouth over it, and began to suck gently. While he was sucking, he inserted two of his long fingers deep inside of Kim’s hot tunnel and pushed upwards, engaging her G-spot.
Kim’s hips bucked up and she cried out with pleasure as Tony suckled and nibbled on her sensitive nub. The pressure inside her abdomen was building once again as another orgasm was about to take over. She reached for Tony’s long black hair and grabbed it, pushing his face deeper into her folds as he licked and sucked her to another peak.
He kept pressing up on her G-spot while he feasted upon her juices. His tongue darted over her clit between gentle sucks. Kim felt an intense urge to pee but Tony held her down with his free hand, preventing her from rising and leaving before he was finished.
Kim clawed and tried
to fight the sensation, a deep buildup of orgasmic pleasure built up within her womb as it gushed out of her in a torrent of ecstasy. She yelled out as her crisis hit and Tony lapped up as much of the juice that erupted from her well as he could. He was like a kitten at a saucer of milk.
Tony noticed that Kim was more than ready for him, so he rose from the floor and leaned over her. He nuzzled her neck and shoulders as he worked his boxers off with one hand, while holding her hands over her head with his other one. Tony kicked his boxers off to the side and moved his body between Kim’s open legs.
He entered her tight, deep well with one deft thrust, growling as her heat enveloped him. She cried out as he filled her entirely with his thick, long member. Tony rested on his elbows over Kim while buried deep within her. She opened her eyes and made eye contact with him. She reached up and drew him down for a deep kiss as he began to move deep inside her.
Her hips rocked along with his as they moved as one. She clawed at his back as he thrust gently at first, but once he hit her G-spot with his manhood, she let out a deep, almost feline growl in his ear, and his senses were filled with nothing but the urge to mate.
Tony growled in response as he felt Kim’s nails grip his taut buttocks, urging him on. He picked up the pace and began to thrust harder and faster. The pressure began to build at the base of his spine as his climax drew closer.
Kim was gripping Tony for all she was worth. She felt her nails grow a little longer and she bit down on his shoulder as her third climax of the night rocked her body. Her teeth sunk in to his shoulder and Tony let out a yowl of pleasure as he emptied himself deep within Kim’s eager body.
She felt that odd pressure again as Tony pulsed his seed deep into her womb. She looked into his eyes and noticed they were golden with a vertical pupil. He blinked and the reverted to their normal dark brown color.
Tony pulled out and grabbed a T-shirt from the pile of dirty clothes Kim had strewn about her bedroom to wipe himself off. He sat on the bed and smiled sheepishly at Kim who lay prone on the bed with a satisfied smile on her face. She reached out and touched his hip with her small hand.
“You know, that was much better than the first time, thank you.” She yawned. The exertion, on top of the stressors of the day’s events, had left her exhausted.
“You’re welcome,” Tony said with a smile, while he turned away from her and put his boxers back on. “I still think it’s a good idea for me to sleep on the futon tonight. That way if Smiley tries anything...”
“Yeah, you’re right,” Kim said. “You know it’s best if you’re not here when Keith gets back from his conference. I don’t want him to get the impression I already picked.”
Tony nodded sadly. “Yeah, you were given until the solstice to choose, and it’s perfectly okay for you to take that time.” He had hoped he had made an impression on her. She would be safer with him, knowing his job. However, she had a greater chance at being widowed, as well.
Kim looked at him sadly, she felt drawn towards both him and his cousin, Keith, equally. “Yeah...anyway, I hope you sleep well.”
Tony nodded. “You, too,” he whispered quietly, as he closed the door behind him.
Kim sat on her bed thinking to herself. Her birth control ran out last week. She hadn’t been able to get to the doctor to get it renewed because of all the drama that had been going on. She hoped she wasn’t pregnant... she wouldn’t know who the father was out of the two men. What would that mean if she was, though? Would she have to choose the sire as the mate? She’d have to ask Rusty when she got the chance, if she remembered.
CHAPTER SEVEN
The days progressed steadily as the summer moved lazily on. Kim’s long hot days and short cool nights were filled with pleasant domesticity. When she wasn’t working at the general store, she puttered around her garden, bringing in the ripened produce and preserving it as Betty instructed. She had never canned anything before, so she hoped that she did everything properly.
“Now, you need to make sure the water in the canning pot is at a nice rolling boil before putting the jars in,” the elderly lady instructed as she put Kim’s share of the fruit preserves in the cupboards. “You need to get the food inside nice and hot so it kills off whatever’s in there, and makes a seal to keep everything else out.”
Kim nodded as she slowly lowered the full mason jars into the boiling water. The recipe of the day happened to be sweet mustard pickles since all her cucumbers were perfectly ripe. Her beans were drying in a food dehydrator she ordered in from the catalog company, and her freezer was stocked full of meat and frozen vegetables.
Kim was fully prepared for the long, harsh winter the Canadian Rockies would bring. She had lived in the mountains for her entire life, so she knew exactly how tough it could be. Betty helped her as much as she could, teaching her how to preserve the bounty of the garden her and Keith put in the day after she moved into the house. This was her first time preserving her own food so she wanted to make sure she did it correctly.
Betty looked over at the young woman as she lowered another mason jar into the canning bath. She wondered if the she’d had made her choice yet between Keith and Tony. She had been steadily dating both over the course of the few months that she had been living in the small community. From the energy she was putting out, though, she might have the choice already made for her.
“Kim,” she said, “I would like for you to come to my house tonight and sit in while I mentor the two girls who are about to go through their first shift. Keith told you it’s more dangerous for women than men to go through their first time. If you ever have a daughter, you’ll need to know how to go about it as she grows up. Also, there is talk about how the mating ceremony goes. You’ll need to know about your role and what preparations you’re going to need. It’s still a few years off for the young girls, but for you...”
Kim nodded. “Sounds great. I would like to know more about this community. You guys have accepted me like family really quickly, despite the trouble I brought with me.”
“Oh, don’t think too badly about that.” Betty put a wizened hand on Kim’s youthful one. “That bad man will make one mistake too many and finally get caught. They always do.” The elderly woman pulled a few more mason jars out of the dishwasher and ladled in the pickle mixture. “There are only two girls in the ritual this year. We usually lose half of them to the transformation. The year Keith and Tony came of age, we lost both girls to the wild. It was sad. Keith took it the hardest. He always was a sensitive soul. Tony on the other hand, didn’t mind much at all. He didn’t get along well with his match, I guess.”
Kim nodded as she listened to the old lady prattle on. She was distracted by the growing sense of dread she felt prickling the back of her neck. “Hey, Betty,” she began. “Do you feel something off?”
Betty looked at her sharply. It was a lazy Sunday afternoon in late July, birds and crickets were usually singing in the bushes, but everything was quiet. She closed her dark eyes and inhaled deeply. Kim felt the old woman’s consciousness reach out as she searched.
Kim felt herself being dragged away by the old woman’s psyche as she searched for the source of discord in the area. She felt as if she were walking along side an old female mountain lion, as they traveled invisibly through the village. She spotted a human skulking around the closed general store and caught a whiff of sour body odor.
“It’s Smiley!” she thought, but Betty was able to hear her.
“I wonder what that man is doing?” Betty thought. Kim was surprised she could hear it.
Kim caught a whiff of gasoline as she moved closer to the man, aware that he couldn’t see her. “Oh my god, he’s going to...”
All of a sudden she felt herself snapped back to her body. She looked at Betty as she fished out her phone. She dialed Tony’s cell, but got bounced directly to voice mail. Betty was already out the door and running towards the general store. The wizened woman might be old, but she was in top shape. She shifted in mid
stride to a formidable silver mountain lion. Another, larger silver cougar was running towards the general store, as well. It must be Rusty, Kim thought as she sprinted towards where she had seen Smiley during her dream walk.
Keith had been outside mowing his lawn when Betty and Kim came charging out of their house. He killed the gas to the mower and sprinted behind, finally catching up. “Hey, what’s going on?”
“Betty and I ....we saw, no… no, not saw, well, I can’t describe it, Smiley. He’s about to set fire to the general store!” Kim panted.
Keith’s eyes widened as he took in Kim’s news. “Did you call Tony?”
“Went right to voicemail.”
“Damn, fucker must be out of town again. Let’s go see if we can stop that son of a bitch,” Keith growled.
Keith saw a movement out of the corner of his eye; he wouldn’t have noticed it if it weren’t accompanied by a flicker of light, as if someone was flicking a lighter.
He looked at Kim with panic in his eyes and decided now wasn’t a good time to pamper her. He shifted into a bulky, tawny mountain lion and sprung towards the light.
Kim could never get used to the ease that the residents of this town changed their skin from human to animal. She saw Junior do it, Betty do it and now Keith. It still sent cold shivers down her spine. She always wondered where their clothes went when they shifted. She’d have to ask. She shook her head to clear it from the nonessential questions that filled it. She had to help stop Smiley from setting fire to the general store.
She went the opposite way that Keith had gone, in order to trap Smiley where he was, until they could wrestle him into the police station and lock him up. The young deputy was standing at the door, looking confused as to what was going on. He was brand new to the job so had no idea how to react. He was just there to man the phones. A sense of dread filled her as she turned around the corner. She knew that Smiley wanted to hit her where it hurt. He wanted to destroy her morale entirely before he murdered her in cold blood. Taking her job away, literally, was one step towards that goal. She wasn’t going to let him win.
