Fury

Relaxing escape

Pulling into the spa I smiled. It has been forever since I had a nice rub down. Of course in more than one way. My heat would be coming soon and the difference in my bodily urges was coming in hot.

The glass door opened to reveal the bright while walls with green couches along the front windows. Large day lillies framed the entrance desk that stood tall against the black backdrop. The same green color of the couches written on the wall " Mani rilassanti". The white marble clicked against my heels as I made my way to the sign in kiosk.

"Good evening Ms. Reaux." The receptionist Claudia chirped with a bright smile. She was always so nice and happy, a perfect balance to the cool undertones and atmosphere here.

"Hello Claudia, I want the full escape today please." I smiled back and winked at her. The full escape was pricy but it had been so long since I had treated myself I was willing to pay. Her light brown hair was pulled back in a sleek ponytail and swayed side to side as she clicked on the monitor screen in front of her.

"Yes, of course Ms. Reaux. Shannon will be out shortly to collect you for the deep tissue and will follow with your facial and waxing. If you will follow me please." She stood revealing her black scrubs and motioned for me to follow her down the hallway. I nodded moving behind her as she led me to the locker rooms to change.

"Here is your locker and key number 17. Please leave all personal items in the cabinet and put on the robe and slippers provided. Once your ready ill be waiting by the door to lead you to the transitions room." She bowed her head at me and disappeared giving me privacy to change.

The buzzing of my phone went ignored as I removed the navy dress and my heels placing them in the locker. My undergarments slid off easily and I folded them placing on the top shelf then placing my badge, gun and cuffs on top. The white rob felt like silk gliding against my skin, I sighed in content as I tied the belt around my waist.

Slipping my feet into the fluffy wool slippers I padded to the doorway for Claudia to lead me. She smiled as I approached her and turned down a separate hallway. I passed around 12 doors in total, six to each side as the blue rope lights dimmed the structure. I made it a point to always know my surroundings now.

Call it training or paranoia but you could never be completely at ease with how I knew the world worked now. My experiences all have shown me to be ready for anything. The space opened into a rock wall room, the middle of the space having a small rock pool and waterfall. The music filtered throughout giving a rainforest feeling.

I listened to the background noise of birds calling and water trailing down the rocks. I smiled to myself thinking of my homeland now. Delilah purred in content feeling closer to her clan but soon turned  sad at missing home. I nudged her in comfort and found a plush armchair close to the rock pool to wait.

Claudia appeared with a tray of crystal flutes filled with what I assumed to be champagne. I smiled gratefully and took a glass sipping it and whispered a low thank you as she bowed and left. There were only two other females in the room, I took a supple deep breath to gain my surroundings again and realized they were human. 

Thankfully the males and females had separate rooms for lockers, waiting and procedures. I couldn't be comfortable dressed like this in the presence of a male.  

I closed my eyes to relax a little, enjoying the sounds and natural scents from the plants in the room. A light hand on my shoulder and her winter scent gave me a chill. I opened my eyes to smile at Shannon. She nodded to me and I downed the rest of my champagne getting up to follow her back down the hallway.

She stopped at the 3rd door down with spiral black markings, pushing it open to reveal her room. The white walls had small similar patterns to her door with the scones surrounding the walls and a light stone wall to the back. Her table was in the center of the room with her varying machines to the right.

She lead me over to the long glass table against the rock wall. "Agent if you would please remove all items and place on the hook your robe and your locker key in the basket. I will return shortly, face up on the table we will begin at your shoulders first."

I smiled at her gratefully and nodded. The soft click from the door prompted me to slide the silk down my body and do as instructed. The warmth in the room licked at my skin like the sun of the plains at home and it made me feel comfort. Climbing onto the massage table I layed back pulling the covers up to my breasts, the light purple sheets tucked under my arms as I looked up at the ceiling where a landscape was painted.

The painting was of the tropical rainforest variety, many colorful birds and greens of plants surrounded a bright blue pool of water. The artist did a fine job of capturing the serenity and calmness of the space. The speakers still played the background noise of water and birds giving you the feeling of being in the forest.

The smell of winter with soft knock made me smile as I called for Shannon to enter. She was a beautiful girl small frame only reaching to my breast as her height. Her long raven hair pulled into a sleek ponytail as well framing her oval face and light grey eyes. I watched her move to the glass table and could smell the aroma of her eucalyptus oils as she rubbed her hands together.

She spoke softly as she came closer " Agent it has been some time since our last visit. By looking at you I can see you have been quite busy."

I huffed "Way to tell me I look like s**t Sha," I laughed a little as she smirked back at me.

"I have never said those words dear, only a slight observation." She cooed moving her hands over my shoulders making me sigh in relief as her delicate fingers soothed me. She rolled her palms over my collar bone and angled them over my breasts applying pressure.

I held in my moan just barely as she continued to roll and press her fingers into me. she spoke softly again " If you would like Delilah should be included, I can feel her restless aura. How long has it been since your last transition?"

I opened my eyes looking up at her " A long while I hate to say. At least 5 weeks I am sure, heat is close though and I am not sure if it is the best idea for her to be roaming around. " Del growled in my mind giving me goosebumps causing Shannon to giggle.

"I see, well this is a safe space. My own Lusha would like to run free, it has been three weeks since our last. However at our pride we run freely almost always in true forms. Our king is a wonderful leader, we even have caverns in the hillside for heat cycles to choose mates and breeding." Her hands rounded over my neck pulling and pushing at the tense muscles causing me to close my eyes in pure bliss.

" Mhm. That sounds lovely Sha. I haven't been to my home clan in a few years. I haven't even been taken in my lion form yet either. I am not sure if I want to be honest. That is alot of trust and power to give someone as a life mate." I shook the thoughts away and changed the subject 

"As long as Lusha is okay with her, I would love to share this with Del." I spoke softly between the movements I was lucky to speak at all. I knew it wouldn't be long and I would be drooling over her bedsheets.

" Yes of course she is. Lusha loves Del just as much as she does you. It is not often I get to massage a fellow shifter so I have to suppress her alot. I cannot risk hurting a client you know, most of the men I get are downright pussies." She whispered the last part in a smirk as I snorted a laugh in return.

Delilah rolled in my mind and nudged as I let her free to mold with me. Feeling her morph with my human skin gave me a rush and tingles spread through my muscles. We were one like this, every thought, motion, and image at heightened levels. The air in the room felt purer and the smells swirled in color, opening my airways and soothing my lungs.

Del sighed with me as Shannon nodded in awareness to us and continued to work though my neck. We closed our eyes and let our muscles completely relax, the shift in the air giving up peace. Her hands moved over our neck turning our head to stretch the muscles for better access.

The birds called to one another in happy song as her movements flowed in time to the water. She left our neck moving into our arms and hands using the same motions, her fingers sliding over the veins in our body. It felt as though she was caressing my broken pieces and molding the cracks on my mind.

She tucked my arms back under the blankets moving down to my legs. Del purred at her love and attention, it had been so long since we had been cared for. Shannon owned the business and had Italian heritage hence the name of the business Mani rilassanti. The meaning of soothing hands, she was every part of it.

Her smooth hands ran over my thigh muscles swirling back to pull at the calf then heel. I growled in bliss as I felt her slide over my sore feet. Shannon chuckled at our display but said nothing as she continued to work applying the perfect amount of pressure to my tight spots.

She slide her hands over the blankets back up to my shoulders and whispered for me to flip over. She held the sheet for me as I rolled like an obedient puppy when told to do tricks. Placing my face the cradle she had opened I wiggled my butt to get comfortable.

Del rolled her eyes at me but it was a one action so our eyes actually did roll. Shannon covered us again adjusting the roller under our ankles and smoothed the blankets back over or body. She moved to untuck our leg again and started working over our calves and thigh. We groaned again lightly and smiled.

"You are amazing Sha, you know that right. Like your hands are heavenly. I am shocked you haven't taken a life mate yet." We mumbled into the cradle.

"Thank you Agent, I appreciate the compliment. You are amazing as well, so strong and confident. I envy you sometimes but honestly this is my calling so I do the best I can to help others. I had my eyes on a life mate but he is well not ready I don't believe. I am patient though it has been 4 years since our last session in human form."  She replied softly, moving to the opposite leg.

"Oh wow, that is patient. Have you told him you want him?"  I asked as she continued to work.

"Yes, I call for him in my true form but he doesn't answer my call. I don't want to settle for someone else. He deserves the world and I know I can give that to him if he would give me a chance." She sighed softly. 

"Well you are perfect and do deserve the best. If he is to stupid to see what you are then move on girl. Don't wait for someone who doesn't give you what you need, you are only punishing yourself." I spoke gently and tried to word it without telling her she's stupid for waiting on a man. They never change and its rare to find one to be everything you need especially to be faithful and good. 

"Thank you Mia, now enough chat. Let's enjoy this escape." She playfully patted my arm and smiled. 

 I felt safe and happy in this moment and wanted it to last as long as it could. Closing my eyes I refocused on her hands moving up my thigh to my lower back. The curving of her palms over my piriformis muscle and pushing had me wincing. I knew my lower back was tender but she always set my ass on fire.

She chuckled as my muscles twitched under her fingers but said nothing as she pulled along my spine and up to my neck again. Sliding her hands down over my traps to the lower back again I sighed in content feeling all the tension and stress front the week leaving my body.

I hadn't realized how sore I was from getting hit by the car this morning, immediately my body tensed remembering Taylor and his striking similarities to Tom. A sharp pain in my butt had me lifting off the table and staring open mouthed at Shannon who was glaring at me. I hadn't realized I had said that aloud. 

"How could you not tell me you were in an accident this morning? I could be pushing blood to your brain and kill you." Shannon's eyes were glowing at me in anger and underlying hurt.

I stammered as I looked at her beast " Sha, Lusha I wasn't hurt this morning only a small scratch that healed over almost immediately. I am fine see" I motioned to my body and gave a week smile.

"Look I will make an appointment to see a physician as well just to make sure if that helps." She growled in return but nodded as she searched my eyes for a lie. Once satisfied she came back over and started to work on me again I sighed in relief but chuckled that she just s*****d me.

"Tell me everything Mia, I must reassure that I am not hurting you." She softly spoke as she continued to run her fingers in circles over my back. I sighed in annoyance but decided I should enjoy the attention so I started with my morning coffee and surprised myself by telling her about the hottie at the coffee shop. She chuckled to me and continued to listen as I relayed the rest of my day to her.

By the time I finished she was covering me back up and telling me to flip back over on my back.

"Well that is some day. I'm sure I have never had that much action." She laughed aloud and winked at me. " Now get up slowly and put your robe on then move to this chair for the facial."

I nodded to her and smiled when she disappeared out the door to give me privacy although at this point we didn't need it. I was more than comfortable with her but I liked that she had enough respect for me to give me it.

I sat up slowly letting the sheet pool around my waist as I stretched my arms out into the air. Hearing the door click open I stayed stretching and called out "I'm going Sha, give me just a second. Your fingers are such magic I almost felt like Jello." I laughed at the last part and moved off the table.

I turned to the door when I didn't hear it close but found it slammed quickly. I jumped and c****d my head but no-one was there. I smelled the air but didn't notice anything different. I shrugged and continued on getting dressed for my facial getting comfortable in my chair I waited for Shannon.
