Tomas walked slowly back home right before dawn, his handsome features etched with frustration and fatigue. It had taken every ounce of will to keep the wolf far away from the cabin during moonrise. And he very nearly hadn't made it on more than one occasion. The beast had been eager for its mate. The need that had engulfed it had been stronger than the bloodlust he usually fought. He had finally solved the problem by jumping into a deep stone gully that was impossible to jump out of. The paws that he was cursed with in the beastly form made climbing vertical stone walls nearly impossible; not that he hadn't tried. It was only at moonset that he was able to climb out, using human hands and feet to find almost nonexistent crevices.
Now, all he wanted to do was get home, eat, and spend time with the lovely Candace. He knew he was being selfish for keeping her with him, especially with the danger he put her in with every full moon, but he couldn't resist her. He had been so lonely for so long, and she was like a breath of fresh air. A smile curved his lips at the thought of her at home waiting for him.
The smile stayed until he had made it the half mile he had left to get back home. And it widened when he walked into his home and found her, curled around his pillow, in his bed. She was wearing only the sheet around her slim body, the cotton hugging her curves lovingly. Her long chocolate curls were tousled around her head, some streaming out over the white covers and pillow, a few tendrils fallen over her beautiful face. Breathless, Tomas watched her sleeping, awed by her. "An angel," he whispered softly, "sent to save me."
Candace stirred at his voice, rolling onto her back. One hand rolled with her, coming to rest on her tiny waist, emphasizing the swell of her full breasts under the sheet. The other stretched towards him, as if imploring him to join her. He stilled, torn between wanting to join her and wanting to continue watching her. Finally, his body's fatigue decided him and he shed his clothes while walking towards the large bed. Carefully, his slid onto the empty half, not wanting to wake her. She only murmured sleepily and rolled into his body, her warmth instantly seeping into his chilled body. Tomas smiled again, a smile of contentment as he wrapped his arms around her protectively and pulled her closer, letting sleep overcome him.
Hours later, Candace woke slowly, her groggy mind computing the fact that she wasn't at home in her own bed. Freezing in place, she tried not to panic and to remember details. But for the life of her, she couldn't remember where; until the warmth under her cheek and the heavy weight around her shoulders brought her back to awareness. Holding her breath, she looked up at Tomas, wondering if she had woken him. But, to her relief, he stayed asleep, looking completely exhausted. This worked perfectly with her plan to change his opinion of her. Carefully, she sat up, slipping out from under his arm, the sheet pooling around her waist. Blushing, she snatched up a spare pillow, using it to cover her bare breasts.
'Come on Candace, grow some balls,' she thought to herself, feeling her courage start to falter now that the moment was at hand. Holding out one shaking hand, she went to pull the sheet down. But, she paused, right before she grabbed the sheet. She couldn't do it. Despite all her planning last night and her resolve to do this, she just couldn't do it. Dropping her hand back into her lap, she buried her face into the pillow she was holding, smothering a growl of frustration. Then, a soft sound and movement next to her made her go still, her heart pounding in her chest.
Lifting her head slowly, she watched as Tomas started to wake up. He moaned in complaint as he twisted and stretched, obviously fighting it. One hand, the one that had been wrapped around her, started to search across the covers for something. And with a start, she realized it was looking for her. Candace's eyes widened and she realized that it was now or never. She had to do it before he realized she wasn't lying beside him and woke up completely.
Tugging the sheet down his body, she took in the sight of his body being revealed inch by inch. He was already hard and throbbing, his cock lying flat against his stomach and twitching from time to time. Nervously, she moistened her lower lip with the tip of her tongue and grabbed that large cock, feeling it jump at her touch. Dropping the pillow to the side, she rose up on her knees and swung her leg over his hips. Then, straddling him, she started to slide her hand up and down his cock, making sure he was almost awake before positioning it at her wet entrance. Rocking her hips a little, she stroked the head through her pussy lips, coating it in her juices. She was rewarded with the sight of groggy green eyes watching her and a throaty groan.
"Mmm, Candace, what a way to wake up," Tomas murmured, trying to thrust up inside her. But, to his surprise, and growing frustration, she moved with him, keeping him exactly where he was. "Stop teasing me," he growled, moving to grab her hips. Only to have his hands slapped smartly and her to grin a coy little grin he had never seen before.
