The Alpha and the Kitten

13

Melody

His stay in hospital was too long. The doctors had forbidden her to visit too often as Denys got too excited to see her and they had even been caught once in a very compromising situation. His Beta, Loren had found that hilarious and had teased her the whole way home from the hospital. She had nearly died of embarrassment, and was happy not to show her face in the hospital again. Instead the two of them resorted to video-calling each other. She was happier to do this as she could watch him at any time. Often he called her late at night as she was going to sleep, knowing that just hearing his voice calmed her.

Denys

Finally he was allowed to leave. He was going to be able to hold Melody again. He felt like a school-girl about to see her crush. Loren had brought her with him when Denys was allowed out and immediately everything else was inconsequential. Denys saw her face and nothing mattered but her. He practically ran to her and lifted her easily up into a crushing hug. He could feel her little chuckle and her hand cupped his cheek. He couldn’t wait to get her home.

Loren laughed somewhere in the distant and he came back. “So I see that bringing her was distracting.” He said.

Denys put Melody down, and her arm snuck around his waist.

“It’s a stupid question, I am sure, but are either of you going to be riding up front?”

Melody gave her little giggle again and shook her head. Then she climbed into the back of the car. Denys happily followed. The whole way home he just held her hand in the back, feeling her skin under his thumb as he stroked it. He had felt empty without her.

Melody

Loren dropped them off and waved happily as he drove off. Melody smiled at him and waved back, but Denys had nothing in his mind except one thing. He grabbed her hand and pulled her through the door, using her weight to push it closed as he kissed her demandingly. Melody was happy to kiss him back, and even happier as he lifted her, his hand brushing her leg as it worked up under the long skirt of her dress.

Melody wrapped her legs around his waist, her hand twisted into his hair. The beard that was half grown was scratchy against her chin but for the moment she didn’t care. She wanted him as much as he wanted her. Denys growled deep in his throat, fumbling with his trousers. Melody helped him out and they fell to the floor. Denys grew too impatient to remove her underwear and so he just tore them.

Melody chuckled, her kiss as demanding as his, she gave a tiny little whine as he pulled away from her kiss. He grinned at her, moving his mouth to her throat. Her breath caught as he entered her, his warm mouth caressing her neck. She nearly jumped as his teeth gently nipped her skin.  He felt so good after being away from her for so long. She had missed him more then she had known. He filled her so completely. She could already feel herself reaching that perfect place. Denys moved her leg ever-so slightly. Holy f**k.

Denys

They shed their clothes shortly after they were done. Melody had closed all the curtains and had lit some candles. The soft glow made him just want to watch her. She was beautiful. They were sat on the sofa and he was idly stroking her skin as they watched TV. She was holding a steaming mug of tea and seemed totally absorbed in the program. Denys was in heaven. This was all he ever wanted to do. His mind envisioned a day when they would have a family and his dream would be complete.

He watched as Melody’s nose wrinkled and glanced at the TV. He quickly saw what had annoyed her. A tiger was stalking on the programme. He instantly moved to the remote, to change it. Melody’s hand stopped him though, she put her mug down and was leaning forward. He glanced back at the screen to see another big cat on there.

“Mel?” He asked. She didn’t even acknowledge him there. She was drinking in the cat.

“Mel, is that what you are?” He asked.

She glanced over at him finally and gave a tiny nod.

She reached over and took the remote. The TV turned off. She gave a shiver and before his eyes she transformed. He was looking into the eyes of a small and disfigured Snow Leopard.
