Marie blushed and nodded,"I swear, those words were never uttered in this room. It was a fragment of my delusion; I mean a figment of my imagination. That's my story and I'm sticking to it."Marie giggled and hugged her."Honestly, if, and I stress that part, if, he ever comes back, we will face him together and he'll have to accept it, that I have found another person to love."Elena looked into Marie's eye when she said it. Marie shuddered."God! Elena, after what you told me about him, I'm not sure I would want to face him. You said that he spoke to you in your mind, does that mean he can manipulate you as well?""Damn you're smart!"Elena kissed the end of Marie's nose. Marie beamed."Yeah, you're right, he can. He did it to me once. I really tore into him for it and he swore he'd never do it again. I believe him, but that promise doesn't extend to you. So, maybe that would be a bad idea, seeing him together.""Hey, I don't want to break the mood, but I need to get up. I put th
Then to top it off I took your shoes off and got a look at your feet, and now you know how I get over those. So, yeah, I was pretty worked up over you when I crawled into bed and I just, well, to be honest, I had a pretty good orgasm thinking about you.""Now who's giving out super compliments? Okay, so we've firmly established that even though I've never been with a woman, I am fairly comfortable around you and have no problems with us touching and smelling each other. Oh, and let's not forget the kissing. I really do like kissing you. That's a good solid fact."Elena grinned mischievously at Marie."Point taken."Mariw leaned over and kissed elena, just a quick kiss, and then leaned back. Elena pouted."What was that? That wasn't a kiss. This is a kiss!"Elena slid her arm behind Marie's head, pushing her fingers up through her hair and cupping the back of her head, she pulled mariw to her and really kissed her firmly. Elena rubbed her lips back and forth gently over Marie's and the
She tilted her head and kissed Elena's ear. Her voice thick with emotion,"Oh, my elena! You've just made me the happiest girl in the world just now!"Elena whispered back, her voice just as thick,"Make that two of us."They kissed to seal their mutual feelings for each other. They hugged for a few minutes and then leaned back to look at each other. Elena spoke first."I guess we'd better get a move on if we're going to go get my truck. But no stopping for boilermakers! I don't think I could handle even smelling one of those things after last night. Okay?"Mariw gave her a lopsided grin,"And so it begins. Yes, dear. No boilermakers."Elena's jaw dropped at Marie's remark, the she snapped her mouth shut and gave her an irritated frown."I can't believe you just said that! No, wait, yes I can."Elena took a quick guess at the best spot and then zipped her hands to Marie's hipbones and tickled her. Marie let loose a whoop and shot her legs out, launching herself off of Elena's lap and
"Oh, my! Marie, you got a virgin! Congratulations!"Elena gave hima scowl, but didn't really take offense to his comment. Marie was looking a little embarrassed and she was blushing. She leaned over to Elena's ear and whispered the meaning. Elena's jaw dropped and she turned beet red."OH! Uhm, REALLY? Wow."Elena sat there and thought about it and then she remembered what Marie looked like. She suddenly got a great big grin on her face and turned to Marie."That sounds fun! Want to dance?"Marie turned deep crimson and looked at the floor. Josh fell off his stool laughing. He was coughing and trying to breathe."GOD! Your incorrigible! I am not taking you out into the public with me ever again."Josh had recovered enough to stand up and speak again."Elena, you are wonderful! You two are perfect together. I wasn't so sure about you last night, but you just redeemed yourself a hundred times over. Thank you! I have never seen anyone beat Marie at her own game. Congratulations!""Stop e
Elena wrapped her long arms around Marie's small frame, curling one arm up and cupping the side of Marie's head against her chest, and did just that.At some point Marie fell asleep in Elena's lap. She listened to Marie's breathing and could feel her heartbeat through her hand on her back. Elena thought about what had gone on between them in the last twenty-four hours and smiled.She was content and happy. She had never considered being with a woman before, but then again, she had never thought about being with a werewolf either, and that had happened. So, all things considered, this wasn't bad. Actually it was great. She had to be honest with herself on this, could she really make love to a woman.She knew the concept and the mechanics of sex, but could she really do it? Perhaps not with just any woman, but she thought she could with Lena. Yeah, she was nervous about it, but okay, your first time is always a nervous experience.She found that her hand had been wandering while she wa
"So, how am I going to take you out to dinner if you keep leaving your juices on my thigh? You do realize this is the only pair of pants I have with me?""I think I want to eat in tonight.""Ah. So it does work both ways very well, doesn't it?"Elena giggled."Yes, it does. Do you like Chinese?""I'd prefer blonde with a side order of pink, with extra juice, please."Marie moaned and rubbed her lips against Elena's thigh."Oh, don't tease me. That's cruel.""Who said I was teasing you?"Marie pulled her head away from elena's chest and looked up into her face to see if she could detect any humor or mischief. Elena returned her gaze, slipping the tip of her tongue out and running it suggestively around her mouth, and then she grinned."Really? Here? Right now?""Unless you can think of a better place for my first time, yeah, right here, right now.""Oh, my sweet Elena, I will make it so special for you, trust me."Marie pushed her face to Elena and they kissed. Long, slow and sweet. Sh
She lowered her head and licked the insides of Elena's thighs. She worked in ever-smaller circles until she was licking the soft mounds of Elena's mons. She could tell by the feel of the skin that Elena waxed them.Marie slipped her tongue out and ran the tip up the wrinkly edges of her lips. Elena moaned and pushed her hips up to meet that tongue. Marie smiled and opened her mouth and latched onto her mons. She slid her tongue up and down the smooth slit several times, just savoring the juices that were flowing out. Elena's breathing was getting faster as the shudders waved through her body. Marie was giving her twin foot massages while she licked her lips, the effect was to totally relax and excite at the same time.Marie circled her tongue around the entrance of Elena's tunnel making her moan louder. After several minutes of this, marie flicked her tongue under the hood and pushed the tip against the hard nub and wiggled it back and forth. Elena's body was twitching and shuddering
Elena slipped a single finger into marie and hooked it up; probing for that rough patch she liked to have pushed. Marie was almost there; Elena was trying to keep her on that knife-edge just a little longer.Then she found it, and started to rub light circles around it and into the center of it. Elena sucked Marie's lips into her mouth and used her tongue to rub them against the roof of her mouth, and then she pushed her nose over Marie's hood and pushing hard, she rubbed it back and forth rapidly. This triple stimulation shot marie over the edge and she screamed all the way over. Her whole body shook, her arms flopped around, her legs jittering, and her head pushed back into the cushion as far as she could.Marie arched her back and rocked her hips up and down, making it difficult for Elena to hold on to Marie's lips, but she managed. Elena kept up the little circles on that special spot inside her and it sent Marie over another ledge, wracking her body with shuddering spasms. When M
"I forgot to eat dinner last night and camping always gives me a huge appetite. I'll burn it all off before the day is over. Well, maybe. You have brought some horses but when I go camping, I'm always on foot. So I normally hike ten miles in one day when I go out.""Oh, okay. Yeah, I'd eat that much too if I was going to hike ten miles."Gab just sat there and grinned as he sipped his coffee. Marcy and Elena finished their breakfasts almost simultaneously. They washed their plates and cleaned out the skillets. Gab doused the fire while Elena and Marcy drank their coffee. She watched Gab as he saddled the horses. She was still nervous about this exercise. She didn't know if the horse they would try to get her on would stand still enough for her to do so. She went through her calming exercises in her head, trying to still her nervousness. She figured that if she didn't feel nervous, the horse would be calm as well.They finished their coffee and went over to where Gab was waiting for th
This was the truth, so she knew her voice wouldn't detract from her excuse. They both stared at her a few seconds; and then at each other, they shared a look together before they turned back to her. Marcy was the first to break the silence."I'm sorry to hear that. Again, I didn't mean to embarrass you."Gab was looking at her, and she could see that he was mulling something over in his mind; finally he shrugged and grinned."Well, I guess if you're willing to forgive our lapse in manners, then I'm willing to forget about it and just enjoy the weekend with a new friend."Elena smiled and let out a big sigh of relief."Thank you. I'm sorry too, I should have warned you, but it slipped my mind in all the excitement and rush to get out here."They all smiled their relief at the averted social faux paux. They started chatting about the next day's plans and Gab reassured Elena that she would be just fine around the horses. Eventually they all yawned, Marcy first and then the other two in s
Elena blushed again and she saw Marcy shoot a look at Gab that was a mixture of surprise and annoyance. Goob just grinned and shook his head. He had wanted to surprise his wife with his new friend, and it had worked."I surprise a lot of people, Marcy. So don't feel embarrassed about it, you should have seen Goob's face when I shot that rifle for the first time and just grinned at him like a kid at Christmas. He didn't know what to say or do for a minute there."Marcy laughed and nodded, immediately taking to Elena's easy-going personality and humor."Yeah, I've managed to do that to him a couple times myself. Let me just get the rest of the food into the cooler and then we can hit the road."Marcy went back into her kitchen and Elena waited with Goob."Okay, Elena, we're heading for a friend's ranch and the roads are almost non-existent once we get into the higher elevations. Here's a radio for you to use so we can stay in contact if we get separated. It's got a 12-mile range out on
Damn, but at least with this one I can clean the outer shell of any accidental blood stains and re-proof it with a can of repellant. Hopefully it will pay off in the long run. If I go out every month and ruin a cheaper bag, I'd be spending more than this in four months time.The next morning she was happy when she went to work. Yes, I'm leaving but Rhoda won't be there to ruin my mood anymore. Charlenne proved herself to be as smart as Elena thought she could be. She had no trouble getting her acquainted with the software, but she needed to find some inspiration with the graphics layout. That's where natural talent comes in, you are either inspired or you are not. It's an artist part of the job, and this was where Charlenne had the most difficulty."Honestly, Elena, I've never thought about art or graphics. Can I take a class or something?""Well, yeah, you can. However, this is where you need to let your imagination flow and try to feel for the client. Find out what they are looking
"It's got a custom ladder sight and the wood has been reworked and reinforced to take the recoil of that brutal cartridge, they hand rubbed five coats of Tung oil into it."She really didn't know about the wood finish, but the ladder sight was neat."Okay, sold."He smiled and nodded. He got out the paperwork for her to fill out and he called in her ID and information and the NCIC check came back clear. He put the sling kit on the rifle and slipped it into the carry case and handed it to her."I do have one more favor to ask, if you don't mind?""Miss Brandt, anything for the lady who can shoot a Rossi .454 Casull and smile."Elena laughed."I need to find somebody who can teach me how to hunt and skin the animals. I want to go hunting so I can fill my freezer with good meat. I want to be able to do that myself.""Miss. you just went up three notches on my respect scale. I would gladly teach you how to do that. My wife goes hunting with me and I know she would love to have another wom
He smiled at her confident response. Well, what the hell? Why not?"Okay, so you won't need a scope or at least a big one.""No, no scope. My eyesight is perfect.""Okay. Any preference on caliber or action?""Nope, that's where I need your expertise. I've never hunted before, but I really want to learn.""Okay, great. Well, in that case, um, have you ever shot a rifle before?""No, but I'm an expert with a H&K Tactical .45 ACP."His eyes widened again and he started laughing."Okay, I had that coming, sorry. Well, if you don't have any preference on action or caliber, I'm not sure where to start. How about I show you a couple of standard hunting rigs and you tell me if it's something you might be comfortable with, okay?""Yeah, that'd be great."He reached back on the rack behind him and pulled off a bolt-action rifle with standard iron sights. He handed it to her with the bolt open. She hefted it and put it to her shoulder. She looked at the bolt and then slid it forward and down, l
"There you go mark, all your troubles are answered. It's my resignation. I quit."Elena turned, went to her desk and gathered up her things before heading for the door. Rhoda had just heard her announcement and she was pissed. She had wanted to get Elena into trouble and here she was walking out before that could happen. She had hoped to get her fired, but by quitting, Elena still held the high ground."Elena, wait a minute. Why?""Well, mark, I have had it with that little bitch over there. I was in a perfectly happy mood when I came to work today. But when she jumped me three seconds after walking in and implied that I was trying to get her fired because I wouldn't let her finish the interview, which by the way, lasted over two hours yesterday. Then she had the gall to grab me physically, which I told her was a really bad idea and to not ever do it again. Since I was planning on it anyway, that just put the icing on the cake and instead of in two weeks, I'm out of here today.""She
"Me moving in with you, silly. I still want to keep this house. It's paid for, thanks to dad's life insurance policy. So all I have to pay for is the taxes and homeowners insurance. I will need it for the down time after my monthly trip into the woods.""Heh, the way you keep saying it like that, you make it sound like you have a bad case of the monthly cramps, not, well, you know.""See, even you can't say it out loud. It's like if we don't say it, it won't be true. Yes, Marie, once a month my PMS goes all to hell and I turn into a werewolf.""Yeah, okay. I guess maybe because I haven't seen you like that, it really hasn't sunk in.""Trust me,. Until Damien teaches me to control the shift, to become aware inside myself when I've shifted, you don't want to be anywhere near me. I killed and ate someone who was near me last time.""I'm sorry, Elena, I didn't mean to bring that up.""No, that's okay. If I keep these thoughts inside, it'll make it worse. I do know how you can make it up t
Elena nodded that she had and took it out of the fridge for her. She finished cooking her bacon and eggs. She then smothered honey-butter on her toast. Marie watched her in awe and still wondered how she could eat so much. When she wiped up the last of the egg yolk with her toast she popped it into her mouth and hummed contentedly. She sipped her coffee and felt the rush of caffeine hit her system. Marie sipped hers and smiled, Elena had been right, it was very dark and very rich but it wasn't bitter at all."Well, now that I don't have the raving urge to fill my mouth with eggs and bacon, we can talk. I saw that look, and I'll eat that for dessert, now hush. I want to run an idea past you, but I don't want you to feel pressured in any way. I'm thinking of quitting at the Acantha and trying to find something in Helena."Marie beamed and snickered."You're trying to see if I want you to move in with me, aren't you? Well, the answer is YES! I would love it if you would move in with me."
