Hidden Within

Moonlight ignited the pond in an ominous glow, silence doubling down the gut feeling to flee. Not a single leaf rustled in the wind nor crunched under the hooves of the heavy deer populated surrounding woods. Only luminescent darkness and soundless miles resided.

It was the night of my twenty-first birthday and against all odds I had escaped not only my chaperones, a.k.a. my friends, but also my overly clingy boyfriend. Lafayette has been latched to my hip since we first met, at 5 years old. It only felt right after so many years of friendship to give it a shot at something more. However, I was starting to realize, disappointedly, I wasn't sexually attracted to Fay. He was an amazing guy and an even better boyfriend, but something didn't click and we both knew it. We were just waiting each other out at this point, the moon goddess had different plans and mates for the two of us.

I slowly lapped the pond I stumbled upon, I had been unaware of its existence even though it was only a mile from my childhood home. The eerie ambience was sending chills up and down my body. However, the liquid dumb pumping through my twenty-one year old veins adamantly rejected all my instincts to simple go home.

As I rounded my second lap a subtle exhale from somewhere past the tree line caught my attention. A normal person wouldn't have been able to pick it up, but my wolf would never miss something so obvious. Searching the tree line ended in nothing, I couldn't see a damn thing with the reflection of the lunar cycle bouncing off the water and into my eyes. Before I could blink away the light blurs a deep rough voice rang in my ears with only one word, "mate."

Never in my life had I ever felt this feeling before. My legs began to vibrate weakening my knees, sweat droplets began to form spontaneously all over my body, and a sharp piercing pain of pure agonizing pleasure shot from my chest straight down to my clit. Without thinking or even knowing who I was talking to I responded, "mate?"

Drawn to me as I was to him a large sun kissed man emerged from the brush, wearing nothing but a pair of black joggers. As he made his way towards me, having to circle half the pond, I took in every bit of his appearance. His beautiful green eyes were arched with bushy yet manly jet black brows, his hair was scruffy, the bangs falling in alternating lengths above and below his eyebrows. His lips were a faded creamy pink and his bearded face failed to hide his finely cut jawline. If I had to say he probably had an entire 12 inches on me if not more. Lost in my analytical gazing I hadn't realized how close he had gotten... and by close I mean he was right in front of me.

A dominating yet mischievous glint sparked back and forth in his eyes. His lips began to curl at the edges exposing no less then three inches of beastly canines. He began to lean forward towards my neck, my body frozen in place by the moon goddess's will.

Milliseconds before impact a loud beckoning snapped me from my trance, "Kakieri!". It was Fay. My golden retriever boyfriend had just stopped my mate from claiming me then and there without even knowing each other's names. I wasn't angry, I took a startled and hesitant step back only for the man to match me. He reached out his hand with a delicious smirk painted on his face and caressed my cheek, sending tingles everywhere. "Baby! Where are you?"

The man paused and his ears seemed to perk in the direction Fay had called even though he was in human form. The brute of a man just mere seconds from marking me with a smile had drastically morphed, his smile long gone, his eyes burning red, and an angry sneer polluting his handsome features. Before I could say anything he took off in the direction he had originally come from, Fay topping the hill that overlooked the pond right as the last bit of his built figure slipped from view.

"Where have you been? We have all been looking for you, I was so worried!" Fay panted breathily, he had jogged to me from the top of the hill. I turned to him, my face drawn in a sorrowful frown.

"Fay, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." I managed.

"It's ok baby, I found you now so don't worry about it," he replied.

"That's not what I am talking about, I didn't mean for this to happen. I didn't want it to. Not now, not tonight. Not with someone I don't know..." I trailed off looking once more to the last place I had seen my mate.

"What are you talking about my love?" I could feel the fear in Fay's words. He wasn't dumb by any means and I was sure he had already figured out what I was talking about. He was just waiting for me to say it.

"I think I just met my mate, Fay." I conceded. I kept my eyes locked on a single leaf sticking out from the bottom of Fay's boot. I was scared to see the expression on his face. We may not be the pair that the moon goddess had ordained but over the time we had been together we still had genuine love and care for each other. The idea of hurting him was tearing me apart inside.

"So?" his voice was shaking, I could tell he was holding back his true feelings, "If he is your mate then why are you here all alone? I don't care what the goddess has to say, you are my girlfriend until we decide otherwise. Are you going to break up with me?"

His ending question sent a pain through my chest, I didn't really know what to say to him, it wasn't going to work for us in the end. I knew that and so did he but for some reason instead of sparing him the pain of being led on I simply said, "No. I don't know him or have any feelings for him. I know we are still trying to figure out what we are and how it is but I have spent too much time with you not to see it through. Screw the moon Goddess and her plan!"

This new found revelation caused Fay to return to his normal goofy self, he was the embodiment of life and happiness. Unlike my mate who I am sure was the cause of the pond feeling so remarkably eerie. Their difference in polarity was disheveling, even now thinking back on it, I didn't ask my mate's name and two, didn't really grasp how deeply dark his aura had really been until I had Fay and his lighthearted theatrics next to me.

Fay broke me from my train of thought by snatching my hand, I turned to see his cheeky smile. I had to give it to him Fay was extremely attractive himself, his cocoa brown hair was styled in a military fashion, faded on the sides with clean angles and a decent amount of hair on top. His body was lean but still provided an abundance of muscle definition. In contrast to my body, which was thick in all the right places and only slimmed at my waist, most people considering it to be the perfect hourglass shape. My long strawberry blonde hair tickled my naturally large rear end with its subtle waves. Fay's eyes were dark black, while mine were an awkward and unnatural purple. I received many remarks growing up on how beautiful they were or on the other hand how I must be cursed. The only physical similarity between Fay and I was our fair skin and minimal spotted freckles going across our noses.

We walked hand in hand the mile back to my house, he grabbed the keys out of my purse I hadn't even known I left and he had grabbed for me, unlocking the door. Unsure of where the urge came from, I stopped Fay in the doorway and began to kiss him. Though we had been together for five years we had yet to have sex. Both of us twenty-one year old virgins and for some reason I felt the need to change that tonight.

Fay gasped as I pressed him against the entryway wall, kicking my shoes off. Rather hesitantly Fay copied my action, right after I pulled him deeper into my house. My destination, my bedroom, a place him and I had spent many hours talking, laughing and making some of my happiest memories. It was time and I wanted this.

His hands slid under my shirt and bra, his finger tips caressing my nipples in one of the most euphoric sensations I've ever felt. It wasn't long before he had my black lace bra unclasped and was lifting my shirt above my head, I returned the favor and pulled his graphic T off, all the while his gaze locked on my breasts. My nipples hardened under his lustful stare. He reached his hand around my waist boosting me up so I was wrapped around his body. His lips pressed against mine again as he took the remaining steps to my room, he stumbled over a pair of jeans I had left on the ground and we both crash landed on the bed with a giggle.

He propped himself up on his hands towering over me and my bare chest, my insecurities ate away at my will and I covered myself with my arms, "No," he growled pulling my arms above my head pinning them both with one hand, "I want to see every inch of your gorgeous body." The rough tone of his voice sent a warm throb to my clit, wetting my pussy. It was like an alarm bell went off, Fay took a deep breath and his eyes darkened, "you smell amazing." I smiled nervously, but at the same time my desire for him grew. I arched my back bringing my breasts up to his chest, he immediately curled down and brought his plump lips down to my nipple. Slowly he stuck his tongue out circling my hardened bud of pleasure, his circle began wide and slowly closed in. His tongue slid across my nipple pushing it side to side as I let out a soft moan. I felt a pulse from within his pants against my private parts making me even more turned on. He felt big and ready to take me.

My focus was drawn back to the actions of his mouth as he enveloped my nipple and began to suck. It was almost like my entire body lit up in pure ecstasy. I began to squirm pulling at my pinned hands and arching my tit deeper into his mouth. I began to bring my hips up and down just enough to grind against his wood. He moaned, letting go of my hands and falling down on one elbow. My hands now free reached down to his belt buckle, releasing it and the button to his jeans. Fay quickly acted, standing up and unzipping his zipper, grabbing his waistband he pulled both his pants and underwear off, stepping out of them. He now stood entirely naked in front of me, his cock pulsating so frequently it looked like it was keeping rhythm to a EDM song. I had never seen a guy's manhood before except for in sex ED diagrams. I couldn't help but gasp, "I'm sorry, it is just.... so big." I stuttered.

Fay grinned in what I could best describe as triumph, he began to crawl back on the bed stopping at the top of my skirt. With agonizing slowness he layered kisses back and forth across my stomach. He slowly slid his fingers under my skirt and thong, removing them and tossing them to the side of the bed. My pussy was already dripping and as I let my legs fall apart he took a deep breath. "I need you," he grumbled. My heart fluttered sending another wave of heat straight to my clit. He placed both hands on each of my thighs, spreading my already open legs farther. He looked up at me as he lowered his tongue straight to my entrance, gently pressing it between my lips and inside me. Every muscle in my body tensed up and at the same time my hips thrusted my wetness against his face. He took it as a sign he was doing well and quickened his pace. I could feel a tension building in my stomach begging for release. He migrated north as he brought his fingers up at the perfect trajectory to enter me. As his lips wrapped around my bundle of nerves he inserted a single finger, sending me over the edge. I cried out, "yes, baby. Just like that!" My body bent up, my head flew back, and the ball of tension in my stomach released in an orgasmic explosion sending my legs into an incontrollable shake.

Fay removed his fingers from inside me, looking at the remnants of our act before sucking them clean. When I regained my composure I sat up and gently pushed him back, lowering myself to my knees right in front of him. It was his turn. Without hesitating I took his entire length into my mouth, his tip shoving itself down my throat. He hissed out a moan as I reversed off his cock, stopping at the tip swirling my tongue in a circle before taking all of him inside me again. His hands were in my hair shoving me onto him as he thrusted deeper and deeper into my throat. I began to gag, spit dripping from the corners of my mouth but he didn't stop. He fucked my mouth hard and fast, each one of my gags motivating him to do more. He let out a grizzly moan and I could taste the sweet and salty prize of making him cum, a lot of it hitting the back of my throat. I swallowed multiple times to get his entire load down. I looked up and his face was littered with beads of sweat. He again picked me up and laid me on the bed, nuzzling his face between my breasts while bouncing between sucking and licking them. I was ready for him, and I think he knew exactly what I was thinking because he positioned himself between my legs.

He kissed my neck, my lips, then back to my nipples. With one hand he began so slide his throbbing cock up and down my tight virgin slit, just as he was about to breech me an excruciating pain shot through my body. I pulled back in pain and rolled into a ball, "What happened? Are you ok? Did I hurt you?" I could hear the fear in his voice but the figurative knife stabbing into my body stole my words away. I began to rock side to side crying out as the pain refused to stop. Fay jumped off the bed running to the side to look at me in the face. I managed a glance and could see tears in his eyes, I could tell he thought he had caused this. Even though it seemed that way I knew it wasn't his fault, it was that man, my mate. When Lycans find there mate there is no other, loyalty isn't forced but the moon goddess definitely makes you question your decision in her own fucked up way.

When I forced my eyes open through the pain Fay was gone and I could hear the bath tub running. Moments later he was back at the bedside sliding one arm under my legs and the other around my shoulder blades. Everywhere he touched felt like it was on fire, I squirmed in his arms while wailing as he walked me to the bathroom. He stepped into the tub and lowered us both into the artic water. I immediately began to shake from the dramatic temperature change as did Fay. The warmth that had been radiating from between my legs along with the agonizing piercing sensation began to subside. Fay had grabbed a washcloth from the hall closet at some point and began to slide its water seeped softness down my shoulders. He moved gently across my skin and even made his way across my chest briefly grazing my nipples. He continued south, separating his cloth covered fingers so they slid in-between the lips off my pussy. He singled out one finger and carefully glided it over my opening before placing the cloth on the edge of the tub.

We sat there naked, vulnerable and confused for what felt like hours before Fay squeezed my hip and began to slip out from behind me to stand. He reached out his hand waiting for me to take it while looking at me with glossy eyes. I placed my hand in his and we returned to my room, not even worrying about drying off. He pulled back the large red and black comforter and motioned for me to get under. I did without hesitation. What I hadn't expected was for him to join me. His nude body slid in next to mine, turning my back to him he wrapped himself around me. I felt like a caterpillar in a cocoon of warmth. His manhood wedged itself against my ass pressing between my cheeks as one hand wrapped around my waist and the other under my neck resting between my abundant bosoms.

That was how we fell asleep that night. No questions, no talking, no sexual intent. Only what seemed in the saddest of ways to be the final time the two of us would embrace and lay together. After this moment, and this night we both knew what was to happen... so together both having tears in our eyes, we let our minds be consumed by sleep.
