An English Rogue

Pizza and promises.

POV: Anna

How is it possible for your whole world to be shaken upside down in such a short space of time? It had felt like a whirl wind of emotions as she’d started up into those dark eyes. How could your soul be completed by a stranger?! We had left the club together hand in hand and I had felt relieved that he seemed to be as nervous as I was. It was such an incredible feeling. The sparks his touch created went off like fireworks in my mind and Rose whined every time we let go of each other, which had actually only been once!

He suggested we grab some food, so we headed in the direction of some of the late night food venues. We settled on a trendy pizza place and quickly found a free booth and ordered some drinks. I had absolutely no idea what to say to him, I felt so nervous, and every time we looked at each other I got lost in his eyes and couldn’t keep my train of thought! So I kept my eyes down and sipped my drink.

I had so many questions! But I didn’t know where to start! Would he fit in with my family? Even if Lena became Oliver’s legal guardian would he accept four pups that weren’t his? What happens if he didn’t want to live in the flats with us? Would we have to leave? I needed to know about his history with Lena too! Rose wouldn’t stop growling at the thought of them together! Was he going to reject me? Why would he want us if Lena was his type? I felt so overwhelmed by it all I had no idea where to start!

POV: Geraint

As the silence between us lengthened I found it harder and harder to think of anything to say. We’d held hands on the way from the club and my heart had done a flip at the thought that she could accept me with my history with her friend. But now she wouldn’t even look at me and I didn’t know what to do!

“Just talk to her you prick!” Afon shouted in my mind, he was getting so frustrated by the lack of progress “SPEAK! SPEAK! SPEAK!” He demanded! “At least ask her bloody name, you i***t!” He shouted getting more and more frustrated!!

“So, I was wondering…” I started and as I caught her eye I completely lost my train of thought again and just stared at her speechlessly.

“Hi guys, are you ready to order” asked the peppy young waitress approaching our table with her pad ready, but I didn’t really even hear her.

“Can we have a few more minutes please” she answered for me looking from me to the waitress and back again nervously blushing as I continued to stare at her.

“I’m sorry” I said nervously running my fingers through my hair, Afon is giving me a mind-kicking and I have to be honest I don’t even know your name!” I said blushing myself now.

“i***t” snarled Afon.

But to our surprise she started to laugh!

“I can’t believe I haven’t even asked you your name, she chuckled. “Hi, I’m Anna” she said happily holding out her hand across the table. I took her hand happily, glad to be touching her again, and not disappointed by the sparks that ignited up my arm.

“Geraint” I replied happy to see her smiling and to have the ice broken. “And my ‘friend’, is called Afon” I said dropping my voice low.

“River?” Anna asked, what a beautiful name!

I could practically feel Afon puffing out his chest at our Mates approval.

“My ‘friend’ is called Rose” she also said quietly as she spotted the waitress returning and looking slightly impatient.

“Are you ready to order guys” she asked.

“Yeh I think so” Anna replied confidently, “Shall we get two and mix and match?” She asked happily.

How is it possible to be besotted with a stranger? I asked Afon dreamily.

“Mate isn’t a stranger!” He answered defensively, “mate is the other half to us!” Wagging his tail.

As the waitress left with our order I was worried we’d lap back into silence and was determined to keep her talking.

“Quick fire questions!” I said impulsively.

“Favourite colour?” I asked her

“Hmm green” she answered quickly playing along “my turn!”

“Favourite food?” she asked

“Ooh good question! Mashed potatoes” I answered quickly.

“Favourite country? I asked her,

“Hmm definitely Wales” she said, flashing me a wicked smile that made my trousers feel tight around the crotch.

“Favourite film?” She asked

“Gremlins” I said without a second thought.

“Any hobbies?” I asked next, wracking my brains a bit.

“Pottery making” she said quickly, smiling again.

“Umm, favourite holiday?” She asked

“I had a great trip to Greece recently, but would love to go to Alaska, or Canada” I said extending my answer from the quick fire format.

“Do you live alone?” I asked running out of questions myself.

“Saved by the pizza” Anna laughed as the waitress returned with our food and I wondered if I could ever get tired of her laugh as she cut the pizza with the roller and grabbed a slice.

We ate in silence for a bit, but the question game had given me hope. She didn’t shut me down and she seemed happy to play along, which felt like a positive start”.

“Ask her if we can mark her!” Afon shouted in my mind.

“Dude calm down! we don’t want to scare her away!” I answered standing up for myself against the horny old wolf. I was snapped out of our debate by the delicious sound of her laugh again.

“More mind-kicking?” She asked

“Yeh Afon likes to get his opinion out” I chuckled. “He’s impatient and wants to meet Rose”. I added regretting it instantly as I saw her face drop.

“Geraint there’s still so much to talk about” she said hesitantly and sighed deeply. “We aren’t baggage-free 18 year olds, meeting on the first full moon…” she said dropping her voice lower, “we both have lives, and if this is something we both want to pursue, we need to make sure we are on the same page from the start.” She said nervously. “Maybe we can go somewhere neutral to talk after we’ve eaten?” She suggested

I agreed this was a good idea, and I held on to the spark that it wasn’t an outright rejection, there was still hope. I’d have to open my heart and soul to her from the start, which wasn’t really in my nature, but I was super aware that I may not get a second chance, and I wanted her to know how serious I am about making this work.

We ate the rest of the pizza’s, and we both seemed happy to keep the conversation light, knowing there was a lot to talk about when we had privacy.

We booked a large room in a local hotel. It felt weird, and far too presumptuous but there weren’t many options and Anna was determined to keep the location neutral. Afon wagged his tail in approval.

We headed up to the room both of us falling into a nervous silence.

“Right let’s get the kettle on!” Anna suggested with a forced enthusiasm, “everything’s easier with a cup of tea in your hand.”

“What about juggling..?” I asked cheekily trying to lighten the mood. She laughed at that, and the sound of that angelic laugh lifted both mine and Afon’s spirits instantly.

Finally with a cup of tea each, I let Anna sit on the small sofa while I took the matching arm chair. It meant we could still look at each other but also gave Anna some personal space. Afon wasn’t happy but conceded as he wanted Mate to be at ease even though he wanted to touch her.

“I’ll go first.” She said with a determined voice.

“You asked me earlier if I lived in my own, and I didn’t answer”, she paused. “I live with a few people actually, but most importantly I live with my sister Lena and our other sister Kerri.” She paused again, allowing me a few seconds to absorb this new information. “Tell me about your history with Lena”. She said bluntly, and I sipped me tea giving myself a minute to compose myself! I had no idea they were sister and this information made me sick to my stomach. She was going to hate me.

I took a deep breath. “I’m not making excuses for myself when I say this” I said honestly, “but I need you to know that I had given up on finding you. I thought that after all of these years I wouldn’t meet you.” I had another sip of tea. “I met your sister, at one of the last True Moon events. I was given free tickets through work and thought ‘why not?’. I wasn’t surprised when I saw the moon and didn’t feel the bond. I had already convinced myself I would never meet you. But at the same time we- Afon and I couldn’t help being disappointed. We ended up talking to Lena at the bar and things got physical.” I glanced up at her now, but wished I hadn’t, her face was an emotionless mask. “It may sound cruel, but that’s all it was, physical, we both already knew it wasn’t her we really wanted. If only I’d know! I’m so sorry! If I’d know…” I felt disgusted with myself, like id given up on her, id failed her before we’d even met. My heart hurt at the thought that I’d caused her pain.

She sighed again, and I risked another glance in her direction. She had a tear rolling down one cheek, and she quickly wiped it away. It broke my heart but I didn’t dare reach out to touch her. I didn’t deserve her now.

She sighed again. “So when I met you this evening we’re you hoping to be with Lena?” She said, without letting her emotions out.

“No not really”, I confessed I had the ticket and decided to go, but as Lena was getting up to give her speech she caught me eye and I realised what would happen if I stayed. I was leaving when I glanced back and saw the Moon and then your scent hit me. It knocked all the air out of my lungs. I couldn’t think I had to find you” I confessed.

“I was telling the truth earlier, I do think we’ve got a harder job trying to fit our lives together. I can’t lie it hurts, it shouldn’t but it does! The stupid thing is I feel cheated on! But I also know I wasn’t a factor then”. She sighed again. “Thank you for being honest with me. Now it’s my turn.” She admitted taking a big sip of tea, and playing with the handle nervously. “I think I’ll have to start at the beginning.” She said thoughtfully “Although we’ll do the short version. The truth is, both Lena and my sister Kerri were adopted by my Mum when we were all kids. Mum had strong faith and believed that if we rounded up enough rogue pups and loved them we could change the world. Or at least their world.”

I could hear the love and sadness in her voice as she talked about her family.

“So after Mum passed, we decided to carry on her mission.” She paused again to let that information sink in. “I have five adopted children, although Lena is taking guardianship of one of them.” She sighed again sounding relieved to have finished speaking. “Unfortunately for you, we are a package deal. It’s a non-negotiable fact. Now I’m going to pop to the bathroom and give you time to think things over.” She said calmly.

“Five pups!” Roared Afon in the back of my mind jolting me out of my own thoughts. “Five pups!”

POV: Anna

There we go, it’s all out now, I thought to Rose as I turned on the tap and washed my hands and face to revive myself. I felt physically and emotionally drained from the eventful evening, and honestly I was missing Juno. Rose had been pacing back and forth in my mind restlessly. We had both been so jealous when Geraint had been talking about Lena. Rose wouldn’t stop growling, and at one point I nearly lost control as she pushed her way forwards. But now we were just nervous, he hadn’t said anything after I had finished my story, and I was so scared.

I glanced in the mirror and realised it had been a mistake to wash my face, I’d forgotten about my mascara and it was quickly streaking down my cheeks! I looked like such a mess. I grabbed wads of tissue and gently dabbed my eyes, trying to remove the black streaks. As I grabbed more my heart stopped at the unmistakable sound of the hotel room door opening and shutting!!

“He’s left us!” Rose howled over and over again. “Mate has left us!!” The sudden pain in my chest took my breath away. I couldn’t breath and I gulped at the air as if it was being sucked out of the room. I felt dizzy and stars pricked in my eyes as I felt faint.

“Anna! Are you ok?” Called his deep voice and I felt the explosions on my skin as he caught me mid faint and carried me out into the room. “Anna, just breath, I’ve got you,” he said the worry showing in his voice.

“I thought you had left” I said too relived to worry about being embarrassed.

“Left? Nah I just called room service cariad” he said picking up a bottle of fizz to show me. “I’ve just found out I’m a father! I want to celebrate!” He laughed and I could tell he was trying to lighten the mood.

I jumped up impulsively and kissed him full on the mouth. He was shocked and it took him a fraction of a second to respond. He caught me around the waist and held me firmly against his muscular body. The bond made my skin explode and I could feel a hardness in his trousers as he held my body against his. “Be gentle with me, I whispered” as he kissed down my neck leaving a trail of explosions in his wake.

“I will always look after you cariad” he whispered back, and I felt my core tighten as I became aroused.

He removed his shirt, and I couldn’t take my eyes off his chiselled abs. I responded in kind and lifted my own dress over my head not caring where it landed. He cupped my small breasts gently, and I took my chance to undo his trouser button and pulled them down, my eyes widened further as I took in his erect manhood. I felt so nervous and I suddenly felt out of my depth. “Don’t worry Anna, I’ll help said Rose” and I let her come forward. My eyes turning a deep amber as she took control.

“Hello Mate”, she said wickedly, “we’ve been waiting for you!”

Geraint grunted with pleasure as Rose took his manhood in her hand and gently pumped his shaft building up momentum as she maintained eye contact. She took the advantage and used her foot to knock the back of this knee, whilst she pivoted him by the hips and threw him on his back onto the bed.

Loving his eyes on us, she gently unclasped me bra and slowly lowered my pants teasing him.

Rose crawled on top of our naked mate and kissed his delicious abs before moving her way down to his shaft. She made sure she had his full attention before seductively licking the end of his p***s and then licking the shaft before taking it into her mouth. She frolicked in his moans and sucked harder using her hand again to pump his shaft.

“Mmm Rose”, he groaned and we nearly lost it at the sound of her name on his lips.

We needed him now and Rose released his manhood before climbing back up his body and climbing over him so that he was straddled between our thighs. Rose kissed him full on the mouth again, and she moaned as he held our firm breasts gently tweaking both n*****s at the same time. Then with one hand he reached down between our legs and gently stroked our aching folds.

Rose could feel my nervousness as she aligned our opening with his erect member, but I couldn’t wait any longer, I needed him. I needed him to be mine and only mine.

Rose gently lowered us onto his shaft and we moaned as his manhood penetrated our core, we gently pumped up and down on our knees allowing our core to adjust to his size before lowing ourselves further. As we got used to the pressure we pumped ourselves faster and faster as our orgasm built and we felt Geraint reach his climax under us and he released his warm seed inside us.

Rose let her canines extend as she looked Geraint full in the eyes. “Let me meet my mate!” she ordered. Geraint’s dark eyes turned deep blue as he allowed Afon to push forward.

“Mate” he said in a deep voice that started our arousal again. He extended his canines too and held me around my waist as he manoeuvred himself into a sitting position, his manhood twitched inside us as he gently licked the spot where his mark would go.

“Do it!” Ordered Rose again. He gently kissed my neck where his mark would go, teasing us as her felt our core contract around his manhood, before letting his canines extend and he gently piercing our neck to mark us as his. He gently licked my new mark to encourage it to heal as our newly created link flooded me with emotions. Rose didn’t hesitate as our teeth extended and she almost hungrily sunk our teeth into the soft side of his neck, marking him as ours. Rose howled with excitement as her connection with Afon solidified and became real, almost like a physical connection between our two souls.
