No, rephrase that Elena, you are in love with this beautiful naked woman sitting across the table from you. Do I have a right to feel this way? What about Dagomarus? Aren't you in love with him too? Well, I thought I was. What happens if he comes back? What do you do then, Elena? Stop loving Lena? NO! I can't. Well, there it is. Will you send him away if he returns? That's a tough one. Would I choose Marie over Damien? Then Elena realized it was a moot question. I have chosen Marie over Damien. She examined what she felt when she said it inside her mind, looking at it from all sides. Yes, I have chosen and I feel at peace."Penny for your thoughts, Luv."Marie was looking at her with love in her eyes. Elena returned that look and smiled."I was just thinking about us. How I really feel deep inside my heart."Elena wasn't sure if she should mention all of her thoughts."Well, Luv? How do you feel about us?"There was a trace of fear in Marie's eyes now, and Elena hated to see it. She w
Looking around the room, she realized she could see everything clearly; however, there wasn't any light source. Maybe the moon is up and it's shining enough to light the room and the sky. Yeah, that's what it is, the moon. Well, if it's just after four in the morning I should still be tired and go back to sleep. She closed her eyes and snuggled against Marie .She couldn't go back to sleep. She felt completely rested and wide-awake. She thought she would feel tired and worn out after what they had done last night, and this morning, she added to herself. However, she didn't feel tired or worn out; instead she felt more alive than she had in years. She smiled again, thinking that it must be love that's doing this. Yes, its love.She listened to Marie's breathing, the soft rhythm of it, deep and just a little loud in her ears. She frowned again, it is a little loud, but then her nose is right next to my ear. Elena concentrated for a second and realized she could hear the hum from the cl
"Like what, Elena? What do you mean 'other side effects'?"Marie hadn't really dwelled on what Elena had told her about Damien. She thought it was a fantastic surreal episode in Elena's life, but she had just taken everything at face value and let it pass. The sex act part of the tale had slightly disturbed her, but so what. It was over and that was that.Elena watched marie for a minute and sensed some of what she was thinking, mostly from the expression on her face, but there was that tiny little buzz in her head that told her that wasn't all that she had to go on for Marie's thoughts. It frightened her to think that she might have been altered this much by what Damien had done to her mind."Marie, it is over. Don't freak out, my love. No, I didn't just read your mind. I could see it on your face. What I was referring to when I said other side effects was that I found I could see better in the dark this morning, I could hear the buzz from your clock radio on the nightstand from over
She grabbed her ears and bent over in pain. She stabbed at the off button until the screaming stopped. She stood up slowly and looked at the microwave, and then what she had chosen for her snack and it hit her, OH GOD!! NO!Marie woke up and stretched, then frowned. Elena wasn't in bed with her anymore. Well, maybe she had to use the toilet. She looked over at the bathroom door but it was open and dark inside. Oh, I bet she went down to wash her clothes so she would at least have something to go shopping in. Marie slid out of bed and headed downstairs.She didn't hear the washing machine going; still she thought she'd just check. She lifted the lid, yep, done washing. She put the clothes in the dryer and went to find Elena. She heard whimpering coming from the kitchen. That's strange, why would she be whimpering? Marke stepped into the kitchen and saw elena on the floor in the corner, curled up in a ball hugging her knees, rocking back and forth. She was repeating the same words ove
"OH MY GOD! You just jumped across my living room and landed on your feet! How is that possible?"Marie stopped at that point and thought, oh shit. It's true. It's all true. She looked at elena."Oh god, Elena, what happens now? You aren't going to turn into a wolf, are you?""That's precisely why I screamed at you this morning, marie. I was so scared that I'd change and hurt you, or worse, I might have passed this shit on to you. I'm still trying to figure out how it got into me. I have my suspicions, but I'm not absolutely sure.""Okay, elena. I really do forgive you for this morning. I over-reacted myself. My past caught up to me for a few minutes and I let it rule my thoughts, instead of following my heart and knowing that you do really love me.""Thank you. I still feel horribly guilty about that and I guess I will for some time, but we're past that now. As for how I got like that, well, I fixed myself some breakfast this morning. Oatmeal. But after finishing that, I was still st
"Okay, so now I'm the one who's just a little jealous. I know I said I wouldn't get this feeling, but damn it. Was it that good?""Oh, marie. It's different with you. No, don't give me that look. I'm serious; it is different with you. I don't compare the two of you at all. How do I explain this? Okay, bear with me for a minute. When I had sex with him, it was completely with him; there was a mind-to-mind connection there as well, and I'm sure that was why it was so intense.""He was inside my head when we were having sex. So, he could do things to my body to make it respond. He played me like an instrument, literally. His tongue was almost twelve inches long and it could reach places and do things no human tongue could ever hope to duplicate. Do I miss that tongue? Yes, I do. Do I miss it when I'm with you? Absolutely, NOT! I love you, Marie. I love what you make me feel when we make love, and because it's YOU doing that to me, I feel great. You are giving yourself to me and I am givi
They both started laughing. They laughed until they cried. Then they just cried. They hugged and cried together. When the emotional release finished pouring over them, they stood there looking at each other. Marie had an idea."I think I know what I need to do, but I need to have your permission first.""What? Why do you need my permission to do anything?""I need it because I have to go find someone. I have to go find him. I won't do it unless you say it's okay. I love you too much to lose you just because of this.""Oh. I see. Yes, you can try to find him. I think I know what you are planning and it doesn't include that. You're going to go see if he can fix this aren't you?""That's precisely the reason, but I wanted you to know everything that I was thinking and planning. We are a couple now, marie. That means you have the right to put your foot down if you think I'm screwing up or if I am going to do something that might hurt you.""Thank you, my sweet Elena. I approve of your pla
He gave her an evil look but let go of Marie's hand. Marie tried to hide a giggle."Back to business. What the hell happened?""I'm sorry Elena, really I am. Yeah, he was labeled as dangerous, but the guards figured that since he was only dangerous to wolves, they didn't take him all that much more seriously than as a standard trustee. He jumped one of the guards at meal delivery time and he escaped. We haven't found him yet. We did confiscate his guns, so you shouldn't worry too much. His two cohorts in crime are still behind bars and their guns are in our possession as well."He tried to smile, but it wasn't very convincing. Marie looked at Mark for a second then at Elena."So, the guy that shot out your window and tried to kill Damien is loose?"'Yeah, and I really didn't need him running loose either."Mark was looking at Marie and then back at Elena. The look of surprise was written all over his face. Elena grinned."Yeah, Mark. She knows. She knows everything. She hasn't seen Da
