Resolutions

[Âłíșōñ]

I laugh melodically and can't help but find that funny. It sounds outrageous, but it's true. I did kind of sound like cat. The laughing stops when he finds my lips again. I hear the opening of a drawer and open my eyes to see he had retrieved a small packet. I sigh, and roll out from underneath him for a moment, catching my breath. I'm breathing heavily and my body is moving with my breath as I lay on my back, gazing at the ceiling. I've done this before. After the first time, I had woken in this position. I smile a little and then roll onto my side, propping my head up on my elbow. You're...okay with it? With my being a--what I am?

[/color] Strangely, I have difficulty saying the word. I don't know why. Maybe it's because in the past I had programmed myself to never say that word around him, but maybe it's just because I'm still having a little trouble with coming to terms with what I am. Even after being the Beta Female of my pack, being a werewolf for nineteen--almost twenty--years, and being born and raised around them. It baffles me. I purse my lips, trying to gauge his reaction to my question as I know it can be a tricky one.[/blockquote][/blockquote][/blockquote]

[Eri]

He looked at her quizzically when she sighed while rolling out and away from him. He had to keep himself from groaning with frustration, not liking having her stop. His frustration dissipated at her question though, and he reached towards her to pull her in against him. Her body molded so perfectly with his, and he nuzzled his head into the crook of her neck as his lips traced the skin there.

"Being apart has been total hell for me. You are what you are, and I am what I am. If you're okay with being with someone who has hunted your kind, I'm okay with being with you, werewolf and all."

[Âłíșōñ]

I smile and nuzzle my head against his shoulder. I laugh softly and silently. The fire has left me, but as Seth's lips moved softly up and down my shoulder I shiver and sigh with pleasure, perfectly happy and content with being with him. I knew exactly who you were when I spoke to you the first time. Hence my little crocodile reference when we first met. I don't know if you could tell, but by telling you just some crocodiles may be bad and untamable, some can be good and kind.

[/color] I raise my head to look him in the eyes. I smirk softly. When I first saw you I was petrified. I knew exactly who you were, what you've done. What you were in my home town to do. And, really, the only reason I had approached you was to face my one and only fear. Also to protect my pack. But then, sitting there with you. Talking. Getting to know you. I realized maybe I was sticking around for something other than what I originally thought. And before I knew it, I was hopelessly, madly, and irrevocably in love with you. Nothing could change that. And then I actually became fearful. My fears of werewolf hunters went away, but I gained new ones. Severe ones. I was afraid you would find out about me being a werewolf. Afraid you would kill me. Or my pack. Or both....but....I was lost inside. I knew it would be better if I stayed away from you--kept my distance--but I just couldn't. I couldn't bare the thought of living without you.[/color] I smile warmly and softly brush my lips against his. But my quick kiss turned into a long one. And then I couldn't bare to separate us again.[/blockquote][/blockquote][/blockquote]

[Eri]

He couldn't help the small shake of his head. She worried so much, going back and forth between her decisions and actions. He had always been one that acted, but he wanted her to voice her worries. He didn't get to respond to her right away when she kissed him though, and instead of fighting for dominance simply enjoyed her need to be close again.

When they finally split apart again, he twirled a finger in her long hair. "If I didn't want to be with you, Luschka, I would have left already. I've told you before, I'm a man of action. I don't get into things unless I want to." He pulled her close again. "And I want you. Not a human, not a werewolf. Just...Luschka." He felt that what he was saying made sense. It was hard for him to explain. "I'm not going to go anywhere."

[Âłíșōñ]

I grin when he pulls me closer and tells me he's not going anywhere. I remember when we first met and he said he wasn't staying forever, but he wasn't going to leave soon. Now, at least it seems so to me, that the answer has changed. If it hasn't though, that's fine. Beta Female or not, I'm not letting him leave without me. If he ever does that is. I nuzzle my head into his shoulder. I love you. So much.

[/color] I ghost a few kisses up and down his shoulder and neck.[/blockquote][/blockquote]

[Eri]

"I love you too..." he murmured, still finding those words strange to voice out loud. He pressed his lips to her forehead, before his hands slid down her sides. "Just don't try to take any nibbles, got it?" he teased as he ghosted his own teeth on her neck. He wanted to ease into this werewolf thing, and changing into one was still low on his list despite his feelings for Luschka.

[Âłíșōñ]

I shiver when his hands run down my sides and I laugh joyously when he says not to take any nibbles. Don't worry, darling.

[/color] I kiss him and his teeth graze down my neck making me shiver again, but more earnestly. Then my hands do what they want, chuckling while they do.[/blockquote][/blockquote]

[Eri]

He raised a brow at being called 'darling'. He wasn't really into pet names, but this wasn't really the time to bring that up. He held up the packet he had taken from his night stand earlier. Last time they had been together they hadn't thought about protection, but this time he was a bit more level headed.

(ooc: I vote skip to ze afterwards...)

THE NEXT MORNING


I awake in strong, warm arms. Arms I have felt around me before, but oh so long ago. Well, actually not that long ago, but it sure feels that way. I haven't opened my eyes yet. I'm trying to savor the dream. Once I fully wake up, it'll be over and I'll be back in my bed in the Infiniteria house all by myself with my broken down bedroom door from all the times Eclipse had broken down the door making sure I was alive. But, yet, something about this dream is different. It's just too real. I don't just feel the heat of the arms around me, but I can smell the masculine scent, hear his heart groggily pumping warm blood through his veins. Feel his breath move his chest in a steady rythem. His bare chest. My eyes flutter open and as soon as they do, I am greeted with warm, pleasant memories. I'm healed, healthy again. And, most of all, I'm with him. For real. This isn't a dream. I smile to myself and just remain as still as stone looking at his tamned shoulder right in front of my face.

[Eri]

Seth stirred as the morning sun began to rise. His room had no windows, a safety precaution, but he had an internal alarm clock that never missed a day. He stretched, the muscles in his body protesting slightly from being forced to move so early in the day.

He felt a presence against him, and felt his heart skip a beat before he remembered who it was lying next to him. He turned his head, hazel eyes peering out before he yawned. He reached for Luschka, pulling her against him as he pressed his lips to her forehead. "Morning..." he mumbled groggily.

This was the second morning they had woken up together like this, yet somehow it felt a little bit different. He was lighter, and less nervous.

[Âłíșōñ]

I smile wide and lightly kiss his shoulder. G' mornin'.

[/color] I'm still a little dazed from sleep and can't really form a coherent sentence. I lightly touch his cheek with the tips of my fingers and smile again. My love. Seth. I stir a little bit and I tangle my fingers in his hair since I know how much he likes that. How'd ya sleep...?[/color] I trail off, closing my eyes a little again. I'm still quite tired. A nice morning run should do the trick, but I think it would be best if I had four legs instead of two. I use more energy and I can move faster. My brows knit together and I purse my lips contemplating this. I don't really wanna leave Seth's side since we were just reunited, but then again I was just reunited with my wolf self as well and I have tons of unspent energy. Too much.[/blockquote][/blockquote]

[Eri]

He seemed to mull her question over, giving a lazy shrug. "I've had better..." he mumbled before chuckling and sitting up. His already unruly hair was in a big mess, and he surveyed his room. The sheets were strewn about, and their clothes had been tossed to all corners. "Probably the best sleep in days though." he added, turning to her again.

[Âłíșōñ]

I laugh but it's full of acid. I know exactly how he feels. I sit up as well, looking at him with my sky blue eyes. I know exactly how you feel.

[/color] I sigh, and survey the room. I chuckle to myself when I see our clothes everywhere in the room. How funny. It's like deja vu. Still smiling, I rest my head on Seth's shoulder. I still feel the burning urge to rip out of my human flesh and become covered in stunning white fur, but I'm good at hiding it. I have to be. I live in a world full of humans. And humans are afraid of us. Well, some are. Others wanna hunt us but then there are also the ones who wanna join us.[/blockquote][/blockquote]

[Eri]

He leaned against her, placing an arm around her as he brought her against his side. "You seem tense. Don't try to put it past me, I'm slowly beginning to realize I know you better every day." Which he found a little nerve wracking. He was an observant guy, always being the silent one that took in his surroundings. At the same time, he didn't take the time to learn people's habits or body movements. Well, outside of his hunting targets.

[Âłíșōñ]

I purse my lips when he says I seem tense and that he can tell when I'm upset and that I shouldn't try to hide it from him. I sigh and nod. It happens. It's actually quite common. You might know this already, but if a werewolf ignores their wolf they become weak and when they start letting it all back in, they have so much energy they need to use....it's like....being trapped in a cell for a while and then when you're finally released, you just wanna let go and run.

[/color]--a pause--But I can't do that. I want to stay here with you. We just got back together. I don't want to leave your side. Not yet, anyway. I wanna spend the day with you...[/color] When I talk about werewolves with Seth I always feel like I'm walking on egg shells. Like maybe I might step on the wrong one and go crashing down. I don't know if I should use the word werewolf around him or not. I don't know if I should keep bringing up how I'm a werewolf. I don't know what to do.[/blockquote][/blockquote]
