"Come ...quickly", he said in a hushed voice. With every single breath of his, I felt the need to obey.
At this point, I couldn't help but obey his every word. I slowly bended onto all fours and crawled my way over to him. I felt the tickle of fur on my back, but I couldn't turn around to check. I couldn't break the spell I was under.
"Hurry, Kristen", he said using his hand to call me over. I crawled over a little faster, against my own will. Soon I was in front of him.
"See how beautiful you look with your ears out? And you're not even in full form yet", he said putting out his hand and rubbing my head. The movement of his hand made me want to melt into him.
"You're so obedient, aren't you", he said now smirking. I looked up at him with tears in my eyes. I didn't want to go to him at all, but his words were so powerful, I couldn't help but obey.
...And still ...I felt like I wanted ...needed more from him. What the hell happened to me?
"Are you willing to risk everything?" He asked, leaning his face in closer until our foreheads touched and our lips were barely an inch apart. His blue eyes were so deep and dark today, but not in the menacing way, more so in a lustful longing. My heart was speeding so erratically in my chest that I was afraid that it might just pop right out.
Say yes! My wolf cheered. She was waiting for this ever since we first found his smell. That alluring smell of security. Well my thoughts were really getting muddled.
"I have nothing to lose," I stated bluntly while trying to distract my heart. And then abruptly he backed away, taking my breath away with him. I wasn't sure what to make of the situation. We both stood there standing speechless for a moment. I couldn't help but to feel a disgusted that he would act like he wanted me and then pull away so harshly.
"You selfish son of a cunt,"
