The Breeders

Rhenium

Things were moving a little quicker than I had anticipated as Mark and I were full on making out like a couple of horny teenagers.
It had to have been half an hour of us solely making out before he slipped a hand down into my pants, cupping my ass cheek with one hand while the other rolled up the front to gently roll my nipple bud between his fingers. Each move was calculated, leaving me silently begging for more.
He gently bit on my lip as a yearning started to pool in my stomach. It was something I haven't felt in a long time. I started to stroke him through his pants and he groaned into my mouth, shooting sparks down my spine and into a very specific nerve bundle.
"Fuck.." I half-heartedly whispered into the air as he lifted me up, kissing along my neck and collar bone. It felt like heaven.
And then I turned my head just long enough to see Doll making her way from the store across the street to this one.
Which then promptly had me wriggling out of Mark's grip and readjusting all my clothing.
The confusion on his face ceased as soon as I hissed about our unwelcome company and he immediately sprinted to the other end of the store.
"Boss??" Her voice echoed in the store as we pretended we were looking for something salvageable.
"Over here, Doll!" My heart couldn't have been racing faster, adrenaline just taking its time to hightail it out of my system.
"Hey, you guys weren't back at the meet up site and we got worried since those guys came through.." She squinted for a second, looking at me.
"We found a bunch of food here so we've been trying to figure out how to get it back. There's a bunch of canisters as well." She smiled a bit, nodding.
"Okay, well, I'm gonna go tell the others you found some more stuff and to come grab it." She turned on her heal, walking out.
Just before she did, though, she whispered more to herself than me,
"And I wonder where that hair tie went.." Of course, my hair immediately went back up.
After we gathered together again, there was definitely a thick tension in the air as the shifters were just looking at each other with a bit more excitement than I'd like.
"Alright. Spit it out." Be'eal just looked to Cassie, who looked at Doll, who looked at Mark, then at Me.
"Well.. you smell really heavily of Mr. Man over there~" Said man pretended not to hear as he climbed up the natural steps back to the bunker.
"Yeah, we had to hide to cover our scents." As we made our way up the steps, I trailed back a bit to wander my thoughts.
Which were promptly interrupted by Doll who almost tumbled backwards into me.
"Please watch your fucking step, Damaell.." She nodded, readjusting her bags so they evened out the weight on each side.
My stomach was still in butterflies as Mark held back a bit, looking behind us as a pair of birds scattered away from a predator.
"Watch your step ahead, there's some moss."
"Haha very funny." But I still fucking slipped on it.
The group tried their best to stifle their laughter, but it was in vain as they laughed a little louder now. This time I did catch myself, cutting my hand on some bark as I did.
But with Mark's expert sense of smell his pupils expanded and my hand was now in his being examined.
The laughter immediately ceased to exist, more than one person coming down to make sure I was okay.
"Yes, we need to get back to the bunker so I can disinfect-" But most of the debris was being soaked away by some water Mark has stored in a canister.
"We need to fill these first." I nodded, flinching at the pain when he started to wrap it up.
"You guys go fill them, I'll disinfect and organize the food we collected."
And just like that, we were back at the place we now called home.
Mark stayed behind to help organize while everyone else, except Everent, Journey, and Jackis, went to fill the many canisters we now had in our possessions. I camped out in the infirmary with my hand wrapped and talking to a sleeping Jackis.
"How you holding up, big man?" I held my hand over his forehead and went to get him a new towel. I knew what was happening to him at least.
When I returned, Everent was taking his temperature.
"I wish he'd get better already.. Journey's been down my back since he's been in here." I handed him the cold towel after waiting for him to take the temperature.
"How's everyone else doing so far?" He glanced to me while slowly washing off Jackis with a rag.
"Not too bad, to be honest. Most are concerned that you came back reeking of Mark. Humans are concerned that you have bruises..," He glanced back again, "Everywhere."
"I had to hide with him, for starters, and second, I slid down a hillside. Cut my hand on a fucking tree, for crying out loud." He only looked to back to Jackis, covering the kids ears.
"Listen.. if you two want some alone time.. I could make sure everyone stays clear of the lower levels.." I went to hit him with a pad, but Cassie caught it before it could hit him.
"Boss, Mark's looking for you. Says he found something in one of the pantries downstairs." I got up, wincing as I used my cut hand to do so.
"Don't use that hand."
"Oh, and here I was gonna use it to cut some roses." I clicked my tongue at him and he only laughed, continuing to wash Jackis off.
As I made my way down, I bumped into Journey, who apologized while carrying the BIGGEST teddy bear I have ever seen.
"Aaand where was that at?" She looked at me with eyes like a child and only giggled.
"You'll see!" And that was all she left me with, hurrying to Jackis with the giant bear.
