Life Lesson #1: If you are planning on going to a nightclub in the middle of sketchy, dark woods, don't. Life Lesson #2: If there are too many attractive, healthy people in said nightclub, be alarmed and rethink Life Lesson #1. Life Lesson #3: If you were foolish enough to ignore rules 1 and 2, I suggest you haul ass. Aeress is one of those special people who obviously need a couple more life lessons... ----------------------------------------------------------------- He chuckled. It was dry but it was an addictive sound. "No," he brought his nose against her collar, "not at all." His lips skimmed over her exposed skin. She sighed at his touch, riding the sweet, overwhelming waves that came with. "You've barely touched me," Aeress had her hands skimming up the back of his neck and in between his strands. "And I'm falling apart." His voice was a little hollow and this worried her. "The bond we have is responsible for that." She tugged at him until he looked up. For a moment she just basked in how handsome he was. "I don't think so," she leaned in for a kiss, "I think that you are just about the most fascinating man I have ever met. And we have only just met. I don't think a bond can simply erase the will of an independent woman like me." His eyes came to life with a blazing fire. He closed the distance between them and kissed sensation back into her body, setting off every nerve in her flesh. Everything came to a boiling point, sizzling with need. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ °°MATURE AND EXPLICIT CONTENT OF ALL KINDS, AND I MEAN ALL KINDS°° Highest Rank: #7 in Werewolf, #79 in Romance

*********MATURE 18 +********** I smiled as I leaned my mouth closer to his ear and said, "Are you always this chivalrous with your dates or should I pay extra for the special treatment." He snorted inelegantly and laughed. "Usually it's an extra thousand, but I'm feeling generous tonight." I laughed lightly and got a bit more comfortable in his arms, confident I hadn't offended him. "Handsome and valiant. How did I get to be so fortunate?" I said. It was a rhetorical question, but one he answered anyway. "Let's just say, I have a great dislike of assholes who get handsy with beautiful women." he said and I blushed. If this guy hadn't been a bonafide Lothario, he would have been the perfect man. I settled into the rhythm of the music and my dance partner, thinking dark thoughts.
