“I thought we already decided this,” Mary said placing her hand back on his cock. “We go together,” she said, and thought about breaking into GREASE to emphasize her point.
“He will be looking for high ground,” Dorek said, ignoring her. “That’s what they always do when they get out— look for high ground. He is going to try to summon a mate. Do you know what the highest place nearby is?”
“Probably the observatory,” Mary said. “Just opened up. I’ve been wanting to go, but didn’t want to go by myself. Oh, are we going?” she asked, excitedly.
“If you don’t mind riding on a Harley,” Dorek said. “The cold doesn’t bother me. But will you be okay if I give you my coat?”
She smiled warmly at him and nodded.
He handed her his coat. She put it on and flipped the collar up, breathing in his scent.
“Thank you,” she said. “I will cherish this always.”
“I’m not GIVING it to you!” Dorek said. “I’ve had that coat for like… well, never you mind how long. But I’ve had that coat for a really long time.”
“You must really care for me to give it to me,” she said, cooing at him.
Dorek shook his head and led her to his Harley-Davidson parked in front of the apartment building. He straddled the bike and said, “Come on. Get behind me.”
“OK!” Mary said, and snuggled up behind him. She encircled her arms around him and put her head on his back.
“So this is what heaven is like,” she said.
“Where is this place?” Dorek asked as he sped down to the light.
“Near the university,” Mary said. “If you take Spring River, veer left onto Quarter Street before Spring becomes Loft Street.”
“OK, I know where you’re talking about. About ten minutes away?”
Mary nodded and squeezed herself into him.
She began to slide her hands down to his penis to see if he was still hard.
Hmf! He wasn’t. She started rubbing him to get him big again. His cock immediately began to grow and slide up the side of his right leg.
He was a beast.
“Mary,” Dorek said. “You’re a very attractive girl, but I don’t know if now is the right time for that. We’re chasing down a violent werewolf.”
“It’s OK, I’ll tell you where to turn,” Mary said. “Just keep driving. You can do that, can’t you?”
“Seriously, stop it.” Dorek removed her hand from his growing cock and placed it on his stomach. She ran her fingers lightly up and down feeling him up.
The gray, drab winter streets turned softer and greener the farther away they drove from Mary’s apartment. She hated where she lived, but couldn’t afford anywhere else.
They turned right onto Monument Avenue and the smell of ancient, tall conifers hit their noses. The concrete became cobblestones, announcing to their butts and spines that rich people lived nearby.
Dorek sped down the street and got on Spring River Road and headed towards the university.
“So,” Mary said, feeling him up, “You’re not human, are you?”
Dorek was silent, but Mary didn’t backtrack.
“No, I’m not. I was for thirty-three years, though. What gave me away?”
“Your reflection,” Mary said, nuzzling against him further. “Or lack of one. I checked to see if you were looking at my butt. The window reflecting me said you weren’t, or that you weren’t even there. But then I saw you. Staring all googly eyed at me. So you like my butt? You do, don’t you. It’s really okay.”
“Yes,” Dorek flatly stated. “You have a nice butt.”
“Good,” Mary said and ran her hands up to his developed chest. “That wasn’t so hard, was it?” Confirming he liked her butt was more important than hearing him say he was a vampire.
“Now what was wrong with your friend the other night?” she asked.
“Oh,” Dorek said and laughed. “Jordan? He’s my partner. He worked too long without eating. He smelled you nearby.”
“And did he need to be invited to be let in?”
“Yeah, that part of the legend is true,” Dorek said. “You see, he needed you because as vampires we can only drink from people that have the same blood type as us. If we drink from a person of a different blood type, we get sick. Plus, if we don’t drink for a little while, our brains start acting funny and we get a little crazy. We work together, Jordan and I, I mean, because we’re of the same blood type. Just something weird the police department thought would be a good idea— there aren’t gangs of vampires walking around united simply because they have the same blood type.”
“So we have the same blood type?” Mary asked excitedly. “You and I?”
“Yep.”
“Since when are vampires also police officers?”
“Apparently for a long time,” Dorek said. “Long, long before my day. We’re the reason there’s so much order. And believe it or not, it would be a lot worse if we weren’t around. Vampires, werewolves, that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Werewolves are only bad two nights a month. We vampires, well, we’re like children. Keep us well fed and give us something to do and we don’t cause any trouble. Other creatures… let’s just say there are a lot that aren’t so easy to tame.”
“I thought it was weird my upstairs neighbor Scott only had a dog a few nights a month.”
“Most werewolves lock themselves up before they turn,” Dorek said. “We never have to worry about them. They’re law abiding citizens. I wonder why he didn’t this time…”
“So he’s trying to get lucky right now?” Mary asked, sliding her hand back down to his cock. He just smelled and felt too good to not push the envelope as far as she could.
He let her hand stay on his member.
“Um, well,” Dorek stammered.
Ha! I’m having an effect on him! That’s right. Let me feel your cock.
“That’s really all werewolves want to do,” Dorek continued, voice slightly out of breath. “They don’t really go after raw meat. Really the only thing they care about is having sex with another werewolf. But if they do happen to find another, that’s a different story.”
“So what was that in Scott’s apartment? It looked like a body part.”
“It was. But I’m thinking it was an animal’s— say a skinned cow or pig.”
Mary slapped her hand to her forehead. “Oh, shit-duh!” she exhaled. “He grills all the time and is a butcher!” She felt like an idiot, but then remembered Dorek was driving with a hard-on and all was well again.
“There’s still the question as to why he didn’t restrain himself, though,” Dorek said. “I looked at his file the other night. He’s been a registered werewolf for a few years now, and he’s gone through a lot of full moons. The question is why is this the one time he didn’t take any precautions?”
“How do you know Aniela?” Mary asked, changing the subject.
“We were childhood friends,” he said.
“So she knows about you?”
“Of course. I couldn’t keep something like that away from her.”
“Were you ever together?” Mary asked. “Married?”
“No, I’ve always acted like we were. It’s a lifetime joke at this point. No, she was married, and had lots of kids. He died, though, and now her kids are all grown up. They don’t visit her as much as they should. It’s a shame. She’s just as cool as she ever was.”
“She makes you look good,” Mary said, warming her hands under his shirt. The wind was getting to be too much.
“She has a good eye for that kind of stuff. Always has. Are we almost there?”
“Yep, your turn is coming up in just a few blocks.”
They hadn’t seen any sign of Scott on the way, and Mary, though extremely content to be behind Dorek (a nice, tall Polish boy? What wasn’t to like?), was beginning to wonder if they were on a wild goose chase. But then they saw an Uber van smashed in the front, and heard the driver say while talking on his phone that he jus
t hit a very large wolf. “Yes! That’s what I’m saying. I hit a wolf!”
“What are going to do if we find him?” Mary asked, not afraid, just mildly interested.
“Well, you’re going to have to hide somewhere, while I try to restrain him.”
“Oh…,” Mary said. She didn’t want to be bereft of him. Plus, it didn’t bode well for her knight in shining armor. He just got thrown from a three story building…
They turned onto Quarter Street and began going up the steep, tree lined road.
A white SUV with a shattered windshield roared past them and shrieked to a stop. An old man leaned out his window. “Turn around! There’s some kind of beast up there!” He didn’t wait to clarify or reiterate before speeding away.
“Well, I think we’re getting close,” Dorek said.
At the top of the hill overlooking the city, the observatory parking lot was completely empty. The white dome housing the telescope shined in the moonlight like a moon itself.
Mary shivered. It was much colder up at the top!
“Ow owww owwwwwwwooooooooooooooooo!” Scott howled at the moon. Dorek pointed to where he was. He was sitting up in a scraggly oak tree, all the way at the top. Naked save a thick matte of fur. She couldn’t help but notice his wobbly dog junk and wonder what it would be like if it was hard.
“He’s calling for a mate,” Dorek said.
“What are we going to do?”
“Agent 246 do you copy?” Dorek’s walkie said.
Dorek pulled out his walkie. “Agent 246 here.”
“Agent 135 here. I’m tracking a Debbie Wise here. She, for whatever reason, didn’t put her restraints on tonight. She’s heading south at the moment. Are you with that Scott fellow?”
“10-4. We’re at the observatory right off of Spring River on Quarter. He’s up a tree doing a mating call right now.”
“Great,” the voice said sarcastically. “Have you dealt with a situation like this before?”
Dorek clicked to answer, but Mary started stroking his hair, and slipped into speaking her mother’s tongue without noticing. “Masz ładne oczy.” Your eyes are beautiful. “Wyjdziesz za mnie?” Would you marry me? “Jesteś moim powietrzem.” You are my air. “Moje slońce.” My Sun. “Kochasz mnie?” Do you love me? “Nie bój się kochać.” Don’t be afraid of my love. “Chciałbym spędzić swoje życie z toba.” I want to spend my lifetime with you.
Dorek stared open mouthed at her. He let go of his walkie. Mary dropped to her knees and was reaching up to him with her mouth against his engorged cock, kissing him through his trousers.
“Agent 246, did you lose your sunglasses?”
“10-4. Yes, I did.”
“Don’t forget how violent males get once they’ve mated. He’ll strike anyone down he views as a threat to his girl, and will bring his mate back a post romp snack. Be careful it’s not whoever’s with you.”
“Haven’t forgotten. I’m trying to formulate a plan now.”
Dorek’s stomach lurched and he bent over in pain.
He needed to eat.
Mary noticed him twitch and said, “What’s wrong, my love?”
“It’s been too long since I’ve eaten. That blow from the fire escape took a lot out of me. Body’s used any extra blood to expedite healing itself.”
“What can I do?” Mary asked. “Can’t you drink from me? You said my blood matched yours.”
“Yes, it does. But you’ll be weakened. Your brain’s not working too well now. It will be even worse after I drink from you.”
Scott howled in the trees. He scratched his ear with his back foot and seemed to pant excitedly. Debbie must be close.
“There’s no time,” Dorek said. “Listen, I have an idea. It’s horrible, and I feel like a schmuck for asking you.”
“No, don’t ever,” Mary cooed and stroked his face.
“Female werewolves are very territorial. When she smells that you’re near her future mate, she’ll want to kill you even though you’re not a werewolf.”
“Oh… oh dear. Why doesn’t the male care about you?” Mary asked.
“All he cares about is ejaculating. And he smells that she’s on the way. To him everything is looking good.”
“So what do we do?”
“We need to get you inside the observatory, but we have to wait until we’re sure she’s noticed you and is coming for the kill.”
“Make love to me first before I die,” Mary said dramatically.
“Stop it, you’re not going to die,” Dorek said. “No one is. I promise you that.” He took her by the hand and said, “Come on, we have to hurry.”
The entrance to the observatory was a large bronze door with planets and stars etched into it. It seemed custom made, and probably cost the city a lot of money. Thousands upon thousands, even.
Dorek looked it up and down and sighed, “Well, it can’t be helped,” and punched a hole through it. He reached in and unlocked it.
Mary’s knees quivered and she moaned out loud. So hot.
“This way,” he said.
The air was cold, not warm like Mary had hoped, and the room was bare. One massive telescope pointed upwards towards the heavens in the center of the room of an empty, large room, and that was it. Not exactly the greatest place to lure a werewolf in.
“OK, change of plan,” Dorek said. “We’re not going to be able to do anything fancy. We’re just going to have to run in and run out and pray we can close the door fast enough.”
“You just punched a hole in it,” Mary said. “Totally sexy, by the way, but what good does it do now?”
“I can keep it closed until backup arrives. Jordan is on his way.”
“Are we putting the male in there, too?”
“Yes, we have to lure them both in. I’m thinking that with her right there, the male won’t care if she wants to take you out. He’ll just pin her down and take care of business.”
“How are we going to lure them both in?”
“Well, he’ll be chasing her, and she’ll be chasing us. The girls are naturally faster than the boys, so it’s going to be a test of how fast I can move tonight and yet not lose him.”
Despite being drunk with lust, Mary bit her lip. She was scared.
“Don’t worry. This isn’t my first polka dance,” Dorek said.
“Owwwwwooooooooooooo!” Scott howled.
“She must be almost here. Come on. Get on my back,” Dorek said.
Mary did. She wrapped her hands around his neck and squeezed his torso with her thighs.
He jumped suddenly from the entrance of the observatory to the middle of the parking lot.
A good 70-foot jump.
“Holy shit, Dorek!” Mary exclaimed. “Do it again! Do it again!”
“You’ll have your fill of it in just a moment,” Dorek said. “There she is.”
Flying through the branches like a banshee, the female werewolf stopped in a thin, swaying pine tree. Heavily matted in light, golden brown fur. Ears pointy, breasts perky, she smelled Mary and growled loudly. She readied to pounce from the tree top, wiggling her but and swishing her tail.
“Oh Dorek,” Mary said and buried her eyes in him.
She squeezed him as hard as she could and felt him lurch to the right, jump quickly forward, and then practically fly high up into the air among the treetops before stopping quickly. The trees rustled again soon afterwards, and Mary heard the female growl only a few feet away as Dorek evaded her grasps and plunged downwards.
He landed lightly.
A quick lurch forward, and Mary heard the stillness of the observatory before she felt her body rushed upwards again.
Hollow metal sounds. Tap, tap, tap.
Mary braved a glance and saw that they were skipping to a stop at the top of the telescope.
The female quickly came in and sniffed them out. She growled angrily and stuck her butt up in the air again preparing to pounce. Scott the werewolf hurdled in and tackled her to the ground.
/> “That’s is our cue,” Dorek said. He jumped with such tremendous speed that Mary’s head had trouble processing. One second they were only a few feet away from red eyed beasts, and the next Dorek was zipping around and slamming the bronze door closed.
“Jump off!” he shouted.
Mary did and he leaned against the door with all of his strength.
The door pounded and jerked his body forward, but he kept it closed.
Then screaming… horrific, gut wrenching screaming. Breaking glass, falling pipes. They sounded like they were killing each other.
Mary said as much to Dorek.
“That, my dear Mary, is just what it sounds like when two werewolves fuck,” he said and laughed.
“Oh… well what do we do now?” Mary asked, tracing a finger from the top of his chest to the bottom of his groin. He quickly got large.
“Mary, please, not right now. If this door opens and one of them gets out, people will die. And one of them would probably be you.”
He winced as his stomach turned over and growled. She could hear it. It was really grumbling.
“Do you want to eat now?” she said worried.
The door started pounding rhythmically but not forcefully enough to cause him to lose his footing.
They were fucking right against the door.
“I don’t know how we would manage that,” Dorek said. “This whole game changes once they realize they can both push at the same time.”
“So you’re going to need your strength,” Mary said and raised her sweater up, showing him once again her round, magnificent breasts.
“Oh god, reposition my cock,” Dorek said. “It’s right against the zipper!”
Mary giggled and reached in and moved him to the side. “Here,” she said, raising her breasts to his mouth. “Drink.”
Fangs descended from his mouth. His canines on both the bottom and top of his mouth were much larger and sharper.
He took a deep breath and plunged his fangs into her soft breast, puncturing the skin around her nipple.
It only hurt a little bit at first, but then his tongue started swirling and sucking around her areola. Oh, she could cum just by that alone!
“Don’t stop! Don’t stop!” she exclaimed.
