The Healing Heart

Bite

As soon as my finger touches the trigger, a wolf jumps up biting my arm. The shotgun fires into the air, I then drop the gun. The wolf shakes its head, dragging me to the ground. It ends up on top of me, jaw locked on my arm. I can feel the skin ripping beneath my flannel shirt. The wolf that was in the coop is now darting out and fleeing for the hill, while the one on top of me lets go, giving a ferocious growl before running off.

Adrenaline pumping through my veins, I get up running for the house and grab the phone. "Alex, I got bit by a wolf.. yes, it's bad... ok, I'll see you soon." I hang up and start wrapping my arm in a towel.

After a few minutes, the door swings open and a shorter woman with dark brown hair walks in carrying a large bag. "Dart, I came as quickly as I could. Let me see." Alex grabs my arm and gently removes the towel. "Ouch... Dart, you should-"

"-I'm not going to the damn hospital! I hate hospitals, and I hate doctors!" I interrupt her.

"I'm a doctor." She says while pouring a cleaning agent over my arm. It stings and I moan out, trying to keep my arm still. "I just worry about you." She says, sounding sad.

"Yeah, I know, but you're not wearing white operating gear ready to cut me open." I try to make her laugh.

"Dart, you should be getting out." She finishes the last stitch. "It's been years since you have been out."

"I don't want to be out. I don't want to get close to anyone ever again. I just want to be left alone."  My voice is flat and sounds like I'm trying to convince myself of these words.

Alex wraps my arm up and then hands me a bottle of pills. "Take one every four to six hours, I will be back after my shift." She pats my shoulder before heading out the door.

Once she is gone I take a pill and head to my bed. I look at my clock. 8:34 am. Once my eyes close, I pass out.

2:55pm. I wake up feeling a burning sensation on my arm. I hiss in pain grabbing a pill and go to the bathroom. I take the wrap off my arm and hold it under cold running water. After a few minutes, I rewrap my arm and grab a beer before heading out to the porch. Once I sit down I open the beer and take a heavy sip before placing the bottle down.

I grab a smoke, taking a drag, letting the burn hold before blowing the smoke out. It tastes awful and the smell becomes nasty. I look over the lit cigarette before putting it out. "Can't even enjoy a smoke anymore." My face is covered in sweat. I take the bottom portion of my shirt and wipe my face off. Why do I feel so cold all of a sudden? I finish my beer and head inside to the den, turning on a western.

10:45pm. Alex is sitting me up and putting a light in my eyes. "Dart! Do you know what day it is?"  She starts checking my  pulse with her fingers.

Waking up fully I could swear that I could smell her and I feel like I'm noticing her for the first time. "Monday I think..."

"You must have slept hard. My shift was 23 hours, it's Tuesday." She leans over me turning the tv off, when she leans back up she stumbles into me. She has a shocked expression in her blue eyes. Heavy bags from lack of sleep. "I'm sorry Dart!"

The smell of her so close makes me growl lowly. "You are beautiful," I say without thinking and grab for her waist. I expect her to pull away, or say no and give chase, but she kisses me, leaning into my body like a young cat clinging to someone to stay out of the rain.

As soon as the kiss starts, it stops. Alex pulls away searching my eyes. "I better go it's been a long-" I claim her mouth with mine, shifting my body so I can topple over her. My body heat rises more than just a fever. "Dart, you are burning up!" Her hands press against my chest making my hips press into her. Alex gasps feeling my erection swollen against her.

I jump up, embarrassed more than anything. "I'm sorry... you're right, you best leave." I turn away running my fingers through my short hair walking towards my room.

"Wait!" Alex grabs my good hand swinging in front of me. "Please don't shut me out!" She pleads. "I just couldn't bear it."

I continue walking, but I grab her and pick her up kissing her and taking her to my bed. I wasn't feeling gentle, hell I wasn't feeling anything but need. A need I keep pushing away. Perhaps everything that's happened is taking its toll. I bite her lower lip before taking her shirt off, followed by unbuttoning her pants. She pulls my flannel button up off and I feel an excitement wash over me once I realize how much she wants me. After taking her pants off I can't help but stare. Alex is smaller than me yet curvier. Her breasts were perfect, pink and bouncy about a handful was all one needed.

Alex grabs for my belt buckle and I clench back a bit. "Please, trust me." It's like she was begging me to let her in. And perhaps I am too eager to be touched as well. I let her undo my belt followed by my pants. Even though I have underwear on, I know she could tell. She smiles and pushes me back so she can straddle my lap, and passionate kisses ensue. After a while, we both break to take our underwear off.

"Are you sure that you want me"? I look at her uncertain. She is playing with my breasts her thumbs moving around in circles around my nipples. Her movements are answer enough. I pull her close to kiss her and lay her under me. Kissing her deeply my fingers run down her sides, then to her inner thighs. She gasps and her hands have traveled from my breasts to my shaft. I moan loudly and move my fingers to her clit. She is soaked and my fingers easily move inside her.

"Please. I want you." She looks up at me, her blue eyes showing her need as they glisten. She pulls gently on my shaft to guide me inside her. "Gods yes!" Her head rolls back once I've entered her, and I can't help but rock into her. Those noises, I wanted more of that. I got harder as I continued, her voice helping me find my way. "Dart, you feel so good. Yes, right there!" I thrust my hips faster and grab her legs, putting them up on my shoulders. I wanted to hammer right into her, using a push-up formation. "F-fuck!" Alex cums hard, her muscles clenching around me, her juices spilling out over me. I cum instantly, throwing my head back. We both pass out over the blankets, cuddled together. I sleep through this night have someone to hold.
