Midnight Passion

Solidity

Maxim stood staring out into the mist slowly creeping over the forest floor. She had run off again. The cries of the night creatures of the forest told him she had come this way. Maxim laughed as he caught her scent, the chase was on. His laughter broke through the night air as he lowly growled her name "Kara" He knew he had to find her the need was upon her, and he could feel her fear. He unbuttoned his shirt and dropped it on the path in the grass.

There was no telling by her flight if she was still in human form. His wife, his Kara, wife of the leader of the western clan of panthers had run. Maxim followed her trail for a mile. He stood alert at the clearing, his eyes and ears were tuned into the surroundings and any sounds. He notices the silence all but the waterfall. He heard her sobs as she waded into the water. The smile on his face slowly died as need overwhelmed him as well. Maxim had been right tonight would be the final night of their bonding. His body needed her as much as she needed him.

"Kara stop!"

She turned to him letting him see the pain confusion and need in her eyes. Maxim watched as she backed further into the water.

"Stay away please I don't... I don't want this."

"We are mates Kara. It is not a matter of want. It's both want and need. We need this."

Maxim approached slowly he was prepared for her to change. He knew she would, he would have to over- power her. Something he did not want to do. He had to explain the danger she was in. "

"Kara, you need I need you to hear me out."

Again, Maxim watched Kara backed away. If she took another step she would come to the small drop off before she reached the waterfall.

"Wait" He thought as he opened his arms and a non-threatening way. "Kara after tonight things will be normal for us."

"Normal, that's a laugh. you're an alpha."

"Yes, and nature picked you to be my wife."

Maxim took another step forward and put his hand to his chest. His thumbnail sliced across the skin. He reopened the cut. The trickling but blood caught her attention, he knew she would change her eyes widened as she shook her head. He had opened the wound again, the scent of him floated through the night air to caress her mounting need.

"There is no running from this Kara."

He watched her take a step forward her eyes were glued to him. He could see steam rising off her body. Her temperature was rising. She took another step forward.

"Tonight, must happen or you will die."

Maxim could tell by her movements that she was past reasoning with, He saw the first steps of the change take place. He matched her pace for pace. if she changed he had to too. the final bond was going to take place. He reached her as she was about to step from the water. Her half transformation was beautiful to him. Tonight, would end the cat and mouse game they had played for a year. Although Maxim was sorry to see it go. He could not take it over Kara's life.

Need thundered in their ears as their body slammed into one another. Kara fed freely a she and Maxim bond solidified and became one. Kara screams of pleasure echoed through the forest as the bond between her and Maxim strengthened. Two loan figures stood in the Moonlight, he held her as she fed and held on to him for the rest of her life.

Kara's  POV

I awoke a day later in the bed of the cabin to find Maxim standing in a towel rubbing his wet black hair by the window. Did he know my secret? I said nothing as I watched him. I felt different but not different, my skin did not feel electrified as it usually did. Today I felt normal. Normal like before my 21st birthday. Normal like before I bonded to Maxim. The urge to constantly feed from him was alleviated. The feeling of being a possession and taken over was gone. The pain was gone. Now I sat up in bed confused. What was my role now? What was I to expect as Maxim's wife? A wife of an alpha. Maxim's voice pulled me from my thoughts.

"Good morning Kara."

I still felt shy around Maxim, even after all the feedings and love making. He turned to me inquiring.

"Did you swallow your tongue?"

Was that a joke? Maxim just threw a joke at me and I cracked a shy smile. I felt strange and wonderful. He stepped from the window and approached the bed. I clutched the covers to my chest to cover myself.

"I'm glad to see that you are awake I figured you would still be tired you slept Saturday away."

"What?" I ask in disbelief ,"What did you do to me?"

I lifted the covers and glanced at myself. Maxim hand lowered the cover.

"We did a lot of things to each other Friday night Kara. I just didn't wake you."

"Are telling me you let me sleep a whole day away."

"What better way to spend a Saturday than in bed?"

I... you... my tongue and thoughts were tied. I didn't know what to think or say. Had we spent the whole day in bed together? Maxim rose from the foot of the bed and walked across the room. Opening a small duffle bag, he pulled out a t-shirt, underwear, and sweats. My betraying eyes followed his every movement, after he dropped the white towel hanging loosely around his waist. Maxim's muscles looked as if they were chiseled by an artist. The ripples of the muscles in his stomach looked as hard as stone. His physique made my mouth water. I was starting to get aroused and quickly turned my head. When he walked back to the bed he placed a chaste kiss on my forehead. I looked up into his grey eyes, he hesitated for a fraction of a second before capturing my lips.

"Take as long you want in the shower. I will be back, I am going for a run."

I watched Maxim whistle and leave out the door. It took me another 10 minutes to get a grasp everything that had transpired on Friday. As well as to get my behind out of this comfortable bed...
