The Surprised Wolf

Chapter 16, Strike

Waking up in his arms was all I needed. It felt so right. Nothing in this world mattered to me right now except lying with him. I never wanted to leave this bed ever again. Aw s**t, I have to use the bathroom.

So much for never leaving this bed. I slipped from under his arm and ran into the bathroom. I washed my hands and looked at myself in the bathroom mirror. I had this bright glow on my skin that made me look so carefree. I tilted my head to the right to look at my neck, acknowledging the reddened scar. Strangely, it was already nearly healed but it still kind of hurt.

“Good morning?”

Glancing into the mirror, I looked to see Steven wrapping his arms around my waist. He rested his chin on my head and stared between my face and my neck. He placed his lips on my scar and licked it gently. The pain dimmed down to a pleasurable warm feeling as he touched it.

“You’re mine now”. He acknowledged the finalization of our bond. I was his. I turned around to face him. I placed my hands on his face, caressing his cheek with my thumb gently. “I know”. I smiled up at him. He leaned down and planted his lips on mine for a gentle yet exhilarating kiss of passion. He pulled away from me. A flash of confusion and alert crossed his face.

“Baby, are you okay?”

“Um there’s a small problem at the packhouse, but Roman will deal with it”. He pulled me closer. “No. You need to go. You need to help. Should I come to help?” I asked. “No, you’re fine”, he assured. He kissed me again. “You’re going to make a wonderful Luna Blossom”. I smiled and looked down at my floor. He placed his finger under my chin to raise my head up to his, our eyes meeting.

“I love you. Will be right back, okay?” He confirmed. “Yes”. We walked out of the bathroom and back into the bedroom. I pulled a bag out of the closet and placed it on the bed. “What’s this?” “Well, this is a bag if close because I had a feeling you would manage to shift out of some”. I laughed.

“Thank you”. He pulled out a white t-shirt, a pair of basketball shorts, and some sneakers. “How are you getting there? You shifted and ran here”. “Yea I know. Roman has the truck outside. He offered to come by earlier just in case we needed anything”. He pulled me into another hug and kissed me. “I’ll be back as soon as I can”.

“Okay”.

He left the small cabin. The sound of the car pulling off made me realize he was no longer in my presence. I walked into the bathroom and showered. Once done, I walked over to the bed and snatched up the bag full of clothes. I pulled out a silk robe and wrapped it around my body.

Thoughts of Steven swirled around my head, turning me on again. The delicate touch of the robe left me lost in a world of pleasure. I was yearning for him and he had only been gone no more than ten minutes.

I heard the front door open. A smile crossed my face as I realized Steven was back.

Strange.

I didn’t hear the car.

Maybe there was a false alarm and they did not need him anymore. I slipped on my slippers and ran downstairs, running toward the kitchen to see if he was there. “Baby what are you doing back--”. I stopped dead in my tracks. My smile instantly dropped as a look of fear crossed my face. My heart thumped against my chest, my mind went black. I turned around to run out of the kitchen but was hit in the head, forcing me to fall to the floor. I looked up, my eyes sight fuzzy and my head spinning. I tried to stay awake to see who it was but I couldn’t my vision gave in as I blacked out completely.
