William blinked at her sudden touch, more gentle and tender then he would ever have expected of the rumbustious Peri.
His blush flared up immediately, burning the tips of his ears with acute embarrassment.
Not that he wanted her to drop her hand. Somehow her touch only managed to brighten the little spark of confidence inside of him.
He swallowed and smiled nervously, meeting her fond gaze with a shy, happy little one of his own, his mental tail starting to wag with even more enthusiasm.
Gently he reached up and took her hand again, enfolding her delicate fingers in his own slightly pudgy little fist.
His smile grew.
"T-then...Then I shall"

Feeling her heart leap as he took her hand in his and held it tightly, she couldn't help but grin as a blush lit up almost his entire face, her inner wolf running circles in her mind about how cute it looked. Placing her free hand on his shoulder, she leaned forward, very gently putting her lips to his, having not quite regained her confidence enough just yet to all out jump on him.
But it was all the encouragement she needed for now, at least. She kissed him softly, still a little nervous that too strong a move would send him bolting out the door like a frightened rabbit. She was just thankful that her wolf lie submissive in her mind; if it had been any stronger, she would have locked that door and not let him leave.
...Funnily enough, that almost didn't seem like such a bad idea anymore. But for now, her inner wolf would have to wait. Taking it slowly seemed more appropriate in this situation, and Peri didn't mind in the slightest. It gave her more of a chance to savour each and every moment, unlike the previous night, especially with the mask of alcoholic fog that clouded her mind and her senses.

William's eyes shot open in surprise as she kissed him, a small instinctive urge to run, here and now, flashed through his consciousness for half a second before quietly fading in a feeling of gentle bliss.
He sank into the kiss, tender and softer and more nervous than it had been the night before, lacking the confident edge that had pulled him through, but this time unfueled by alcohol and certainly more sincere.
He hoped that by the end of this, maybe one of them at least would know what they were doing, where they intended this all to end, if even at all.

Tensing up a little herself as she felt him go stiff against her lips - filled with fear that he would simply push her away, or worse, run for his life - she could have fainted with relief as he responded, noting how different this felt to the previous night. Instead of the passionate, alcohol fuelled heat of the night before, this was nervous, like the first few steps onto ice, yet soft, filled with more emotion than she could even imagine.
Somehow, there was a small part of her that preferred this, feeling something other than lust. Whatever that something was remained to be seen, but for now, this was perfect. The wolf stirred within her at his encouragement, but Peri suppressed it, kissing just a little more passionately, and just a little deeper, perfectly restrained, not wanting to push her luck. If he encouraged it further, then he did so. She didn't want to be quite the devilish temptress she had been the previous night... Not just yet, anyway.
What the wolf made her do was the wolf's business, not hers. Or at least that was what she kept telling herself.

Feeling that maybe the next move was his, William found himself gently releasing his grip on her hand and moving up to slowly wrap his arms around Peri's slender frame, drawing her close into something that felt more like a soft, friendly hug than a tender embrace.
But it was a start.
Finally he withdrew slightly to take in air, gazing across at Peri, a light blush still roaming across his cheeks.
Finally, after several long moments, a large, bright, almost relieved smile swept across his face, transforming his usual hangdog expression and making him feel almost..confident.

Feeling his arms wrap around her - even if it was only a soft, harmless hug - Peri felt her heart flutter lightly, not enough to cause a blush, but enough to bring a smile to her lips, opening her eyes once more as he pulled away for breath, still held in his embrace.
His sudden broad smile was surprising, causing a look of faint awe to cross her features. This was probably the first time she'd seen him look so happy... It was strangely uplifting, causing joy to sweep through her at the thought that the smile was her doing.
Grinning back at him, she absent mindedly twirled a stray strand of his hair around her fingers near to the nape if his neck, having now returned the embrace, loosely wrapping her arms around his neck, almost wanting to giggle at how unusual it felt. To be held in this way... Despite being well experienced in certain departments, this was an area she was less well versed in, being more used to the throes of passion as opposed to... This. Whatever this was.
"It's nice to see you smiling..."

His smile only widened at this. Gazing unabashed across at Peri, William realized that he no longer felt scared, or nervous or even faintly worried.
In fact he felt happy, content almost, to see where this might take the pair of them.
Finally he had someone to share both sides of himself with; not just the cowardly little man, but the cowardly little wolf too. Maybe one day the pair of them could run together in the forest; the wind rustling their pelts, small animals scattering in their wake. Their own little pack of two.
The idea made his inner wolf shiver with excitement and want to howl loudly at the moon with utter delight.
He felt her begin to fiddle gently with his hair, and grin widely back at him, mirroring his joy in her face.
He chuckled.
"it's nice to have someone to smile about..."

Peri stared at him for a moment as he spoke, feeling a definite, strong flutter in her chest this time, enough to make all the emotions rush to her head, making her almost dizzy.
Oh God. That was just... so... cute...
Peri pressed her lips together firmly to stop these very thoughts exploding, trying to suppress the urge to very well pick him up and spin him round, squealing about how adorable he was being. And she could very well do that, she did have werewolf strength after all... No. No, concentrate Peri, this is important.
"I-I..."
Her voice tailed off, the head rush and sudden abundance of emotions now getting her inner wolf very much excited, yapping and howling at her to make this man hers, and to never let him go. Apparently, her efforts to go slowly were wearing thin, and it was becoming more and more obvious that all the wolf... no, all she wanted to do now was kiss him endlessly, to claim him as hers, and make sure he knew it.
The strange possessive feeling stemmed from her wolf side, the idea that she could find another that she felt so strongly connected to, a person to be her mate... That kind of bond was for life. A thought that scared her a great deal, but she couldn't deny that she felt it, somewhere deep down.
"Y-you shouldn't... act so... cute around me..."
Calm yourself, Peri. Don't get ahead of yourself...

Cute? William blinked, just a little startled. He hadn't expected that response from her. Not that he could say just what he'd expected from the woman before him...
But for a man who could barely be called 'sweet' in a good light, cute was certainly more than enough for him.
His grin widened, a small sense of utterly unfamiliar humor rising up inside him, turning his grin into a small laugh.
He was happy. Oh God, he was so happy. And standing before him was something that had made him happy for the first time in nearly six years.
And to think this evening had all started with a drunken Peri threatening to knock his door down.

Even after her strange comment, he still continued to smile, that overjoyed, adorable smile, that almost seemed like nothing could wipe it off his face at this point. Not that Peri minded, she didn't ever want to see that smile fade. She would personally make sure it didn't... Well. She'd start that mission tomorrow. Tonight, she had more pressing matters to attend to.
Her inner wolf was now howling, and it was hard to ignore, let alone suppress. She had given him fair warning... And he'd chosen not to take it, so this obviously meant that she was more than allowed to jump on him. Obviously. Peri's logic was so brilliant, how could she possibly be wrong?
Entangling one hand into his hair, she pulled him towards her, kissing him with a new passion, like the night before, but with far more feeling and emotion, with care and softness mixed with the heat and lust that she had tried and failed to push back. At least she'd tried to be considerate.
It was more than she'd do for anyone else... But then again, Will meant more than anyone else to her now.

William didn't even pause for this kiss, seeing her obvious intentions when she clasped the back of his head, he leaned in to meet her
kiss with as much passion as his shy little self would allow, his grip tightening as her embrace sent little firework explosions running through his elated brain.
He never wanted to let go, he wasn't going to let go. Regardless of where this took the pair of them now, William found himself determined to ride it out until the end, whatever awaited them there.
As long as he was with Peri, he didn't care what happened next.
He knew it would be...exhilarating.

After a few long seconds of uninterrupted passion, Peri drew away once more, surprised at how at ease he seemed with all this now, seeming to be almost completely comfortable with it... with her. He would submit to her as she saw fit, and nothing else could make her happier, or her inner wolf for that matter.
She grinned slyly, feeling his grip on her tighten, wondering how best to abuse her new power over him, or at least, a power she was now allowed to have. As she recalled from the previous night, or at least what she'd pieced together, she'd gotten very little chance to really tease him, being that they'd both been caught up in a whirlwind of alcohol and raging hormones, leaving only a few fleeting moments before they both succumbed their wants... no, their needs.
Leaning in close, so that her lips just barely brushed his ear, she smiled, trailing one hand down his chest, travelling lower and lower with painful slowness.
"Come with me..."
She murmured softly, veering off her devilish path south to take his hand, gently leading him towards her bedroom, grinning like a wolf who'd got the best cut of the meat. Perhaps now she could assert the dominance that had been laying dormant since the two of them had met...

Well...This was certainly new territory for William Hughes.
For the second time in as many nights, he found himself struggling awake in a room that was most definitely not his own.
At least this time he didn't have a raging headache to compliment it, and also a very clear image of just why he was where he was.
managing to pull himself into a sitting position, his body aching in protest, William glanced around the room, with only the slight noises of traffic outside, and Peri's light breathing to disturb the silence.
Oh God...He was blushing again. Even here, without anyone to see him, he was blushing.
If this was to become a regular occurrence, he would really have to stop doing that...
He smiled weakly to himself before glancing round at the alarm clock and uttering a tiny shriek of terror.
Not again!

Peri was fast asleep, extremely contented, warm and happy. There was still a slight dull throbbing in the back of her mind from the copious amounts of alcohol she had consumed in her quest for confidence, but somehow, even having a hangover didn't feel that bad this morning. Laying lazily on her stomach next to Will, she held the duvet to her almost like a cuddle pillow, not even stirring as he sat up, disturbing the bed a little.
What did wake her up, however, was the shriek of horror that followed. Jerking awake, she half sat up, letting the duvet fall into a crumbled heap in front of her, blinking blearily as she tried to focus, her eyes still blurry with sleep.
"W-wha... what's going on?"
She turned her attention to Will, blinking at him in confusion, wondering if she could simply just pull him back down and fall back to sleep again, at least for another hour or so...

William glanced round wildly as Peri sat up, his eyes wide and beseeching, silently begging her to have an alarm clock that didn't work properly, anything that could disprove the time that is currently showed in small green numbers.
"I-It's...i-it's 11:30"
He managed to whimper, running a hand through his already messy hair. Not quite ready to dart for the door- his mind still struggling out of the happy fog that was last night- but the realization that he was, yet again, late for work was certainly doing a wonderfully sobering effect on him.
