Scarlett

Dressed and showered, I stepped into the cabin again. Matt was outside. I saw him through the open window.

“Hey, I fixed dinner. Join me!"

The scent of homemade food filled my nose and made my mouth water. Yum.

“Here, I made some pork chops with mashed potatoes. I hope you like them!"

“Looks yummy."

Happy birthday, Little Flame." He lifted a glass filled with champagne.

I smelled it, and it smelled good.

“Thank you, Mountain Man."

We ate in silence, each one of us lost in our thoughts. Now and then, when I lifted my eyes from my plate, I could feel the mark of his deep green eyes on me. They burned me.

“I promised you something special for your birthday. Are you up to it?"

I took a sip of champagne. The bubbles tickled my nostrils and made me smile.

“You’ll get to ride a wolf!"

I imagined all kinds of things, hot things, when Matt stood up and started to unbutton his shirt. Matt stripped and shifted in a few seconds. I could not stop myself from watching him. He stood in front of me in his beautiful grey wolf shape. The wolf smiled and nodded towards me to jump on his back.

I did. His fur was so much softer than I imagined. I wrapped my legs around his midsection and put my arms around his neck, allowing myself to lay my face into his soft fur. He didn’t smell like an animal. He smelled like forest and sunshine and coffee.

Matt started walking, and I adjusted my position on his back. When he felt comfortable, he started running. He ran so fast, my head spun.

The rush of wrapping myself around his body made me feel warm and fuzzy.

Matt

`What was going on with me when I was so close to Scarlett? A day had barely passed since she lived with me. This was already the craziest carousel of emotions. She turned eighteen today. I wanted to kiss her on the spot, and her body betrayed her. She would have enjoyed it. I’m a good kisser. I know how to touch a woman to make her moan and shiver, and I cannot think about anything else except my lips.

This can’t be. I shifted into my wolf and offered her a ride, another type of ride. Now that the wolf took over, he kept calling out for her--mate, mate, mate. Being closer to me in wolf form will make her feel better.

She felt so good on my back. I felt her heartbeat inside my chest as if it were mine. She laughed and giggled on my back and moved with me as I moved faster, rubbing her sex against me driving me crazy with her scent.

My feet took me toward my favorite place, the waterfall. Just like that, I jumped. The air around us felt warm and filled with magic, and she held on to me, allowing a scream to leave her lips. I took the brunt of the impact, but as soon as we hit the surface of the water, Scarlett started to laugh. She filled my heart with joy. I hid under a thick wall I was sure would protect me for so long. Then this young woman came by, with her laugh and smile, smashing all my protection. My heart jumped when I saw her move in the cool water. She swam, not very well, but she held herself on the surface of the water.

I lay on the bank and watched her swimming. It made my wolf happy.

She stepped out of the water, her clothes drenched. “Let me show you something.”

She closed her eyes. I noticed steam rising from her clothes. What was she doing? Just as I was smelling the changes in her body, one of her sleeves caught fire. I wanted to do something, but all I could think of was jump and push her into the water.

“Why did you do that?" she asked, her hair wet and hanging down on her shoulders.

I half growled.

“I had everything under control, you know."
