Reika pulled away from me after a while and said, “thanks for helping me, I feel better now.”
“Sure, no problem.” I stood up to leave.
“Oh, Adam?”
I looked back.
“We have another hunt tomorrow.”
“Hunting what?”
Her expression hardened.
“A werewolf who has a thing for forcing himself on females, not just werewolf females but any female.”
I took a deep breath to control myself, nodded and walked out.
I went and had a shower and was halfway through when I slipped on the shampoo bottle I dropped and went crashing to the floor.
“f***k!”
I held my head after smacking it against the wall hard and I thought it was all over, but nope, there was a little shelf above me and it collapsed a minute later landing on me along with all the shampoo bottles and soap.
The bathroom door flew open and Reika ran in to me then stopped dead.
She stared.
Luckily my bits were covered by the shelf and the shampoo bottles. Once she finished looking stunned by my body she pulled herself back to reality and acting flustered asked, “are you ok? I heard a loud crash.”
I picked a bottle up, grinned and gave her a thumbs up.
“Yep, all good darling. I slipped on this motherf.ucker. Sorry I broke your shelf.”
She gave a relieved laugh. “It’s fine, I’m more concerned with my pack members health than the things we have. Do you need any help?”
I was going to give a flirtatious answer but thought better of it. “nah, I’m all good babe.”
I always knew when she was blushing and she quickly backed out of the room.
I got up and finished cleaning up and then fixed the shelf. One thing Zack had always taught me that I appreciated was how to fix things around the home.
Plumbing.
Shelves.
Broken doors.
I liked fixing things and it was one of the reasons I ended up working for Ellie.
I missed her and wondered how she was, she was probably worrying about me seeing as I’d just vanished without a trace.
Maybe I could go and see her, Zack said he would leave me alive, and her workplace was outside of his territory but if he saw me looking less broken hearted these days he might decide to kill me or worse hurt Ellie to make me suffer.
Maybe I could get protection from him with the council too? Eh, I doubted they would but it could be worth asking about.
Today really wasn’t my day because when I ran down the stairs like I always did I went to jump the last few as usual when Harriet came around the corner to come up.
It was too late, she had taken her first step and I had already launched myself in the air, what happened next you might wonder? Well my beauties, I will tell you because it was burned upon my mind as one of my most stupidest moments.
I reached out to grab hold of something and that something just happened to be Harriet, our bodies crashed together and I took her with me as we went flying in the air and crashed to the floor. Poor Harriet took all of my weight as I landed on top of her hard.
She lost her breath and I quickly and clumsily climbed off her.
“S.hit, I’m so sorry.” I pulled her to her feet while she stayed bent over for a while until she was able to breathe again.
“No more jumping down the stairs,” she gasped breathlessly.
“Yep, I definitely won’t.”
She patted my shoulder and carried on up the stairs.
I saw some Pringles in the cupboard so I grabbed them and a drink and sneakily ran up the stairs before anyone saw me and tried to stop me.
I was relaxing on my bed and watching the small tv that was mounted on the wall. The series Manifest was on and it was pretty damn good.
I was lost in it and eating the Pringles when Reika knocked but didn’t wait for an answer, she came right in making me jump so hard I threw the Pringles tub across the room making it hit the wall and the crisps fall out.
“Ah f***k! No!” I got up to get them but stilled at the stern look Reika was giving me.
“Uh, hey baby,” I tried, smiling.
“Don’t you ‘hey baby’ me, I am your Luna not your lover. If you want food Adam you can have food, you don’t need to hide it away in here.”
I saluted her and she rolled her eyes.
“So what did you want?” I asked.
She grew more bashful. “Oh, right, yes, well I was wondering if tomorrow you’d like to maybe travel in wolf form again?”
She tried staying serious but I grinned at her, “you really enjoyed playing with me didn’t you.”
“No, I just enjoyed the run and you were right, it’s faster.”
“Come on, Reika,” I teased.
Finally she laughed shyly. “Ok, yes, it was fun but if you ever tell anyone I’ll forever deny it.”
“My lips are sealed darling.”
She was blushing hard I could tell no matter how much she tried to stay serious.
“Ok well, please try to be up in the morning, goodnight.”
She left me to it and I almost finished the whole season of Manifest before finally I was too tired to watch anymore. Unfortunately for Reika I didn’t wake early in the morning.
“Adam!”
I think I heard her yell but I was still dreaming so I couldn’t tell if it was just a dream or real. I sure as hell knew it was real when she came in with the alarm and threw a cup of water in my face.
“f***k me sideways and bend me over!” I yelled jumping out of bed.
She looked at me and blinked. “What the hell did you just say?”
“I don’t f.ucking know, random s.hit spews out my mouth when I’m shocked, what the f***k was that all about”. I wiped my face.
“I’m sick of you never being up when you know you need to be, I am your Luna not your mother, I shouldn’t have to keep calling for you to wake up and coming in to your room. Keep this alarm clock by your bedside and I want it set for seven am everyday.”
I squinted at her still half asleep and just gave a thumbs up. “Sure.”
My hair was wet and so was my chest and I caught her staring. Blushing she quickly rushed out of the room.
The weather was cooler today so I put on a dark blue sleeveless hoodie with black khaki trousers and my combat boots. My hair didn’t need doing it already looked good and tousled so I just left it and went downstairs.
I dropped heavily into one of the kitchen chairs and slouched down in it with my legs spread wide.
The females watched me hungrily.
Andrea flirted, “sitting like that makes me want to climb and straddle your lap.”
“You can straddle me anytime,” I winked.
Sandra cut in, “you should sit up and close your legs boy, manners.”
“Babe, my d.icks too big for that, and my balls, this is more comfortable.” I clearly shouldn’t have said that because their eyes grew dark with lust, while Sandra’s grew dark with annoyance. “Close them.”
I sat up and closed them, or tried to but I was being deadly serious about it being uncomfortable, it was like a girl with massive t.its trying to fold her arms over them, not easy.
When Sandra was gone I went back to being slouched and spreading them wide. Reika walked in noticed me and quickly turned her head away from me. I don’t know why. It wasn’t the first time she’d done that lately and I hoped she wasn’t beginning to feel uncomfortable with a male in her home. I enjoyed being here.
She was wearing her usual jeans today with a green tank top and her hair was up in a high ponytail again, it must be her kick a.ss hair up do or something, not that I minded, she looked hot.
I’d always personally been super attracted to blondes with blue eyes, that was my type, I had always found blondes incredibly sexy and hot but the more time I spent around Reika the more she was becoming my type.
I hadn’t been here long enough to have as big a crush on her as I had Kaitlyn, but I was getting there, I certainly was crushing on Reika, she was so hot but I’d noticed over the last week she didn’t actually see it herself, whenever one of the women complimented her or her style she shrugged it off or laughed as if they were messing with her.
I ate my cooked breakfast and left my half finished orange juice.
Harriet asked, “can I have that if you’re finished?”
“Sure,” I passed my glass and she grinned, “I’ll have anything that your lips have been on.”
She’d never flirted before and I grinned at her, getting up I went over and gently took her face between my hands.
I dropped a playful kiss on her lips. “There, now my lips have been on yours.”
She blushed so hard I worried she would pass out, I looked over to Reika who looked annoyed but hid it when she saw me looking at her. Weird.
Then again she was probably mad I was pestering the females when she’d warned me not to.
When she finished her food and coffee we left.
