Animal Heart(58)

“Jesus, Maddy... Mayor Stevens is going to be in a double state of shock,” he said slowly. And it didn't fill him with any kind of joy. The Mayor himself had been responsible for unleashing them on the people of Heart, through his unknowing, mindless determination to persecute them. But his punishment had definitely exceeded his crime, and he had a momentary sense of pity for him. That vanished as soon as it came, as the complications and future hate war became clear in his mind.

Once Bill Stevens realised what he was, and everything fell into place, he would be facing a much darker and potentially very violent and evil enemy. A werewolf with a deep need for revenge. For his wife, for his townsfolk, and for himself. They'd turned him into a monster. And he'd know they were to blame. You could see others of your kind so easily, once you became. There was no hiding from him anymore. Their secret was out. It would have been better if the Mayor had died last night. Because before long, he might be wishing that on himself.

“We need to get him alone, talk to him...” she said. “Maybe I can?”

“Well there's not much else we can do, other than abandoning our ranch and leaving town.”

“No, this is your home. Our home. He's not going to win this war. If he hadn't been so pig-headed about the ranch, none of this would have happened. He started the whole fucking thing to begin with,” she said, her voice growing louder with righteous anger. “I'll go to town and speak to him tomorrow. Let's give him a day to grieve and for his changes to begin. Then perhaps, I can reason with him. Take advantage of his fear and grief, somehow. I can explain to him what I am. That I'm different, and that I've learnt I can help. Because he's gonna need help. He's got no one to turn to, has he?”

“Maddy, I don't think he'll want our help. We killed his wife, horribly.”

“No Aden. He does. I just have to make him understand that.”

“Well good luck. I don't think he'll be easy to persuade.”

“For once in his life the damn stupid idiot's going to listen. To me,” she said, crossing her arms and adopting a steely-eyed, determined look, directed at him. As if to say, 'just you try and stop me'...

“Sweetheart, come here... I'm all overcome with love and lust. What a wonderful bossy little shifter you are.”

“Excuse me... I'm not bossy!” she objected.

“Yes you are and thank God...” He pulled her towards him and kissed her thoroughly. Lust took them over. A desperate need for physical love and affection. He pulled off her torn clothes and kissed her heated body all over in a frenzy of wild desire.

“Have I told you you're completely gorgeous?”

“Aha...”

“Let me tell you again anyway... you're gorgeous and edible and lickable...”

“Mmmm, so are you, and very suckable too,” she sighed, sucking at his neck and ear.

“And loveable... very loveable, right now in fact,” he murmured as he opened her legs and moved across her. His eyes held hers as he entered her wetness, and she squeezed at his hard cock, buried so deeply inside her, in pleasure. She let out an adorable, long, chest swelling, and breathy sigh of delight.

“Boy, do I need a lot of your love. Life's been hard on me the last few days,” she whispered, taking his hands in hers.

As he moved slowly inside her, kissing her face and soft warm lips, and she responded so beautifully to his every touch and thrust, his heart was lost forever. No one on this whole earth could make him feel this way. He loved her beyond love. It was a meeting of soul mates, destined to go on after death, he was certain of it. He'd never been one for feeling particularly religious before. But he suddenly did. She was a divine angel. His guardian angel.



He flopped down on the bed, at her side, the both of them drowsy, satisfied, and warm. She turned her head to look at him, eyeing up his far too sexy and scruffy bed hair and overgrown stubble.

“We should get up, the others will be wondering what went on last night.”

“Let them wonder for a while longer, I feel some more love coming up,” he said, casting a glance at his rapidly growing erection.

“Mmmm, honey you are completely amazing. How d'you do it so fast?” Her eyes glazed with renewed desire and she grasped at him with her hand, stroking him up and down with a very pleased grin plastered on her face.

“It must be you. I've never had this fast a reaction before. It just won't behave itself when miss bossy boots is around,” he laughed.

She pushed herself up, sitting astride him, and lowered herself onto his long length with a moan of satisfaction.

“So, I'm miss bossy boots, am I?” she asked with a twinkle in her eye.

“You'll pussy whip me into shape, I'm sure,” he grinned, flashing her with his eyes, sexily.
