We Are Forever

Conversations Understanding And Compromises

Talon chases me through the woods for a while before we walk around the land. Tall trees cover the forest and there’s a small creek that goes through it. We stop there for a drink of water and I lay down in the soft grass. Birds chirp and other critters run through the trees. I’m content to lay here forever.

Talon comes over to me and licks my nose. I can’t believe everything that’s happened to me lately. I can’t deny the way Talon makes me feel either. The only issue is we just met and with everything going on it seems too fast.

Your beautiful as a wolf mate.

What do I look like Talon?

Your fur is soft like cotton candy and sleek. It’s a silvery blue color which isn’t very common at all. You have black ears and around your nose a little. And your paws are black. Your bigger then an average wolf which makes me believe your parents may have been alphas.

I sigh as I think of how my wolf looks. I can’t wait to see her in a mirror. I realize the twins will probably want their next meal soon. I get up and shake my fur out before heading back towards the house. Being out here with Talon has been magical.

We make it to the house in no time and I see the back door open. I grab my clothes with my mouth before I head inside. Talon shifts outside and throws his pants back on and follows me. He leads me back to his room where he has a mirror hanging on the door so I can see myself. He’s right about my wolf. She is stunning.

I try shifting back only nothing is happening. I let out a small wine and Talon chuckles.

“Guess my mate needs help changing back huh?” He asks playfully. He comes toward me in his room and rubs my fur. His touch is incredible. He scratches all the best spots and massages my body.

“Think of being human. Picture your body. Then picture coming forward and pushing your wolf back.” He encourages me softly as he backs away from me.

I do as he says and I shift back fairly quickly. When I do I realize I am standing naked in front of Talon. His eyes darken with desire before flashing amber then back to grey. I blush and look down before putting my clothes in front of my body like a shield. Talon puts his finger under my chin and lifts my head up so I look at him.

“Your beautiful Marie. No need to be shy about it. I will see your body plenty. And I must admit I can’t wait until I can explore and taste every inch of you.” He smolders out.

My heart is racing and my n*****s harden as if demanding his touch. I look at his full pink lips and wonder what it would be like to kiss him. I’ve only ever kissed Adam. I’m eager to know if it would be different with Talon. My body flushes thinking how everything else with Talon could be. His nostrils flare and his eyes turn amber again.

“Why do I react this way with you near? I don’t understand any of this.” I pout. I like how I am feeling but I don’t want to be in a constant state of arousal around him.

“It’s the bond. It’s pushing us to mate and claim each other. It’s not easy to resist you.” He says huskily.

“Get dressed so we can check on the kids. If I stay here much longer I don’t think I will be able to control myself.” Talon says as he turns around and walks out of his room.

I quickly dress and realize as I’m putting my bra on that my breasts feel full and heavy. Thank God it’s almost time for the twins to nurse again. This whole nursing business is a painful mess. But I am determined to breast feed for at least their first year. I find Talon on the couch in his suite and walk toward him.

“Let’s go find the twins. It’s time for their next feeding.” I feel embarrassed about telling him I need to nurse them but it’s how they eat. He nods his head in understanding and stands up. Only his eyes don’t make it to my eyes. They are focused on a wet spot on my shirt. Right over one of my aching breasts. I blush and look away. So embarrassing!

“No need to be embarrassed. It’s sexy as hell.” He says huskily as he walks toward me. He really needs to stop being so damn hot. I am having a hard time controlling myself.

Let’s not control ourselves. Let’s give him the control. My wolf purrs in my mind.

Down girl! I scold her. We are not going to act like a b***h in heat! Talon leads me out of his suite and down the stairs. We find his family in the sitting room. The twins are laying on the floor on top of a bunch of folded up blankets.

“We didn’t want to hold them and spoil them too much. Hope you don’t mind?” Joanna says when she sees me enter the room.

“Not at all. I do that often myself.” I say as I look at my twins. I sit on the floor next to them and rub a finger down Ellie’s face then Eli’s. I love my babies so much and I wouldn’t trade them for the world.

“They just had a bottle too before you came back so they should be good for a while. I found the breast milk in the diaper bag when they started fussing. I hope you don’t mind.”

“Not at all. It just means we are going to have to get going. This nursing business is great and all, except for the fact I keep getting engorged. It’s so painful.”

“Why don’t you squeeze it out so it isn’t uncomfortable on the trip home?” Abbi asks.

“It’s not that simple. Plus I don’t want to waste my milk. I spilled a bottle the other night and I cried. Whoever came up with the saying ‘don’t cry over spilled milk’ was not a nursing mother” I laugh as Joanna and Abbi start cracking up.

“Yeah I guess that’s true. Maybe you should keep a manual pump in the diaper bag.” Abbi says.

I hadn’t even thought of doing that but I think it over. Maybe it would be a good idea.

“Maybe” I say.

Talon looks like he is thinking hard about something. But he is frowning and for some reason I really don’t like that. I don’t want him to be upset.

“Why are you looking at me like that?” I ask Talon. His eyes snap to mine and I see the genuine concern in his eyes.

“I don’t like the idea of you being uncomfortable.”

“I’ll be okay. It’s been worse.”

I guess that was the wrong thing to say because he growls lowly. I sit straight up and look at him.

“Talon do not growl at me. I’m fine. They don’t even hurt yet. A little tender yes. But it isn’t painful. Believe me you would know if it was.” I try to reason with him.

“Marie I know we just met but this is unusual for shifters. Usually when we find our mates our lives start together. My wolf is having an issue with this along with the fact your uncomfortable. I’m not rushing you into anything. But try to see my side. How’s your wolf responding to leaving?” I think over what he is saying and I understand. My wolf is howling in my head at the thought of leaving Talon. But I got my aunt to worry about. This isn’t normal for us humans.

“How about I come back early tomorrow and we spend the day together? Would that help?”

He seems to consider my offer for a few minutes. My wolf seems to have quieted with the promise of seeing her mate tomorrow. She likes seeing him and the babies. He seems to have already gotten wrapped around them.

“That’s fine. But I’m following you home.” He says with finality in his tone. I agree easily and grab Ellie off the floor. Talon grabs Eli and the diaper bag before following me out the front door. After he straps Eli and makes sure Ellie is secure he pushes me up against the van.

“I won’t argue you leaving tonight or mark you tonight on one condition.” He whispers as he runs his fingers through my red locks.

“I’m listening.” I tremble in his arms. He smells so good and feels amazing pressed against me.

“Let me kiss you.” He says while looking into my eyes. I see the desire in his grey eyes. It makes my own desire sky rocket. My breathing quickens and I flush all over.

“Okay.” I barely get the word out before his mouth is owning mine. He nibbles my lips like they belong to him. Like he can’t get enough. He presses his body ever closer as he tilts my face upwards and kisses me deeper. He parts my lips with his tongue and swirls it around my mouth. I brush my tongue against his and suck on his bottom lip. He must really like that as his chest rumbles. God Talon is easily the sexiest man I have ever met! He pins my hands above my head with one hand while the other he trails down my side. He pulls me closer to him by my waist and squeezes me. Guess this mate thing is like any other relationship. Full of conversations understanding and compromises. But I am especially looking forward to the promise of the future Talon is making with his kiss.
