The White Wolf of Winter

Part Eleven, Getting Close

Chapter Eighteen
    We watched the Big Foot Marathon for several hours, cuddling and laughing about some of the silly people claiming they saw big foot. By the time it was over, we were both in a jovial, silly mood.
Dan bent down and kissed me, passionately, inserting his tongue into my mouth and pulling me tight against him.

    "Can I stay the night, Mary?" I promise not to touch you unless you want me too. I just want to cuddle with you. Can I cuddle with you, Mary?"
He looks so adorable with that little boy look on his face asking if he can please stay the night.

    "Well, I was saving myself for the right man. But Joey blew that all to Hell!"

    "Mary, you have to put that thug behind you and go on. I know it won't be easy but I'm here for you and I'm not going anywhere, ok?"

    "You are a very special man, Dan. I am so lucky to know you."

    "Well, I'd like you to know me even better. But only when you're ready, Mary

    "Thank you, Dan, that means a lot."

    "Ok, let's get our jammies on and we can talk in bed under the covers."

    "I have to warn you, though; my dogs sleep in the bed with me."

    "I do not have a problem with that, Mary, come on; let's get ready for bed."

We took turns washing up and I put on my night gown. Dan said he'd sleep in his underwear. So we climb in and both dogs climb in between us. Making us laugh out loud.

    "Mary, how can I ever get close to you, if your dogs won't let me?"

    "Sammy, Jake, can you boys move down, please so mommy can cuddle with Dan?"

I am nudging them down to the foot of the bed, playfully. Then I jump quickly into Dan's arms before they get a chance to work their way back up between us. Dan finds the entire thing hilarious. But he pulls me closer and wraps his arms tightly around me. I feel so safe, so loved, so in love. He is kissing me again and I feel desire souring through me.

    "Mary, can I remove your night gown? I won't do it unless you want me to."

Those beautiful blue eyes are looking deeply into mine, pleading with me to say, yes.

    "Yes Dan, I want you to."

    He reaches for the hem of my gown and tells me to raise up, as he pulls my gown up and over my head leaving me naked in his arms.
    "Mary, I need to ask you something?"

    "Sure Dan, what is it."

    "If there actually was such a thing as a woof man; do you think you could ever love him?"
I laugh out loud.

    "Why are you asking me such a silly question? Ok, if you were a woof man, Dan; I would still love you. As long as you promised never to eat me."

    "Oh, you mean like this?" He burrows down under the covers to tease my pussy with his tongue.

    "Oh my God, Dan, you are pushing me over the edge of ecstacy."

He comes back up and pops his head back out from under the covers.

    "Good, that's what I was shooting for."

    "Well, blow me away then, Woof man.
He made love to me with so much patients, tenderness and love. After being with Joey, I felt like I died and went to Heaven.

    "Danny?"

    "Yes, Mary"

    "I think I love you Mr. Woof Man"

    "I think I love you too, Mary" Remind me to go shopping for a couple of extra large dog beds?"
We both laugh and all four of us fall asleep.

Chapter Nineteen.
    Dan and I decided to spend the entire day together. We made breakfast together, took the dogs out to run together, gathered firewood together and then just climbed back into bed to watch some TV and make love, over and over again. We shut the door this time, leaving the dogs out in the living room, with the doggy door open so they could come and go. I showed Dan my backside where Joey beat me with his belt. Dan said it was a good thing he was already dead. Then he rubbed more healing balm on all the affected areas. Then later we decided to hitch up the dogs and go shopping. Dan bought two great big doggy beds for Sammy and Jake. Then we stopped at a cafe to eat and warm up a bit.

On the way home we sang songs and laughed together.

'Dashing through the snow on a two dogged open sleigh'

'Oh the weather outside is frightful, but the fire is so delightful'

    We got home, let the dogs free and put the sled away. When we got back inside, Dan added more logs to the fire and we all four huddled together on the rug in front of the fireplace.

    "Mary, have you thought anymore about coming home with me for Christmas?

    "Well, Dan, I have my dogs to take care of. I just can't leave them. Where does your family live anyway?"

    "Oh, they stay up North. We have to take a small plane to get there."

    "Do you live alone, Dan?"

    "Yes, Mary, I do. My family sent me here to get an education. My dad comes around to check on me from time to time. He's a pilot who owns his own plane. People pay him to bring in supplies or people to isolated areas. Like where my people live."

    "You know, Dan, the kids at school are right, you are a strange dude. But you're my strange dude, and I love you so much. Do you want to spend Christmas here with me and the boys?"

    "Well, I will spend Christmas Eve with you, but I need to fly home after that to spend time with my people."

    "I understand, Dan. I would go home with you but I can't leave my dogs."

    "That's fine, Mary, I understand. Your dogs are your family, I totally get that."

    "Thank you for understanding, Dan."

    "Do you have any Christmas decorations, Mary?"

    "Ya, I have some out in the shed. I haven't put up a tree for several years. It's just been me and the dogs, so what's the point? You know?"

    I understand. Well, Mary, I need to get going. We can't keep skipping school to make love all day. Although I wish we could. Are you gonna be alright?"

    "Sure, Dan, I'll be fine now that Joey's dead. Thanks for staying with us."

    "Mary, you never have to thank me for staying with you. You're my girl."

    "I'm glad I'm your girl, Dan. I love you so much!"
"I love you too, Mary. I'll see you at school tomorrow."

    "Ok, see you tomorrow, Dan"
