Ok, been thinking of putting this up here for a few days, if for no reason other than to entertain. It's actually a back ground for an older character of mine, that I've not brought here, yet. Kind of a personal spin on a modern-fantasy RP that had going with Erato some time ago, on a seperate forum. It's pretty lengthy and graphic.

December 1995, Near Vail Colorado:
Day 1:
Gabriel had left home three or four days ago, packing up his snowboard and skis onto the back of his four wheeler and heading north. He knew his family would be looking for him, they always looked for him when he took off like this, so he'd headed further away from home than usual and slipped enough money out of his father's stockpile to keep him funded for a couple of weeks. He'd headed up to Vail to just relax and enjoy some skiing and snowboarding, away from the opressive environment his parents seemed to thrive in.
He'd gotten to Vail early yesterday, before the resort had opened and found himself a comfortable enough spot to sleep in an old abandoned wood shed about ten miles away from the resort, a quick drive on the four wheeler. He'd spent all of yesterday on the back of his snowboard, shredding the mountain and just enjoying his time alone. Well alone in a fashion, he'd spent more than his fare share of time hitting on some of the snow bunnies near his age, but that was part of the fun in being gone like this. No one here knew him and to them he was just some local ski bum kid that the more well off girls would think of as nothing more than a fun fling, just how Gabe liked it.
He'd started this morning much the same as yesterday, strapping his board on and taking the lift up to the top of the mountain, the first one on the lift. He'd made sure to be there early so he could get first tracks after the foot and a half of snow they'd gotten the night before. Now, standing at the top of one of the peaks he looked down at the untouched powder that lay out before him and just grinned. This was freedom, this is how people like him were supposed to live.
He savored his moment a little too long, for suddenly a pink and white form shot by him on a snowboard, stealing the run. Gabriel looked on in shock as the figure shot down his run, which just got his blood boiling, that was his run damnit and he'd be the first down it today, one way or another. He spun his board so he was aimed down hill. He leaned back to put pressure on the back of the board and help him gain control of the board before he dropped his weight forward and felt the sudden acceleration as he began to slide down the hill.
Gabe didn't hold anything back, for the intruder had already gained quite a bit of ground on him, but Gabe knew the run was long and his added weight and strength would allow him to push his board to greater speeds. The sound of the board slicing through the fresh snow was exhillerating as he hurtled down the mountain, in hot pursuit of the young woman who'd stolen his run.
He was suprised by how fast she was going, and even though he was gaining ground it was a real race, and that just made it all the more exciting. A rise to the left side of the run was what he aimed for, dropping down a bit and putting more weight forward to speed up his descent. He watched the young woman jog around the rise, carving hard to make a nice C-shaped curve around the terrain.
Gabe on the otherhand shot right up the natural rise and at the crest of it had enough speed that he caught air, a lot of air. He rotated in the air, lifting his board up towards himself, right hand grabbing ahold of the inside edge of his board as he sailed through the air, passing right over the young woman as she straightened out to continue her descent. Gabe's whoop of excitement drew her gaze up and a he saw a slight scowl on her face at the fact that she'd been caught up to and passed.
Gabe hit the snow on his board, knees flexing to absorb some of the blow and resumed his crouch, careening down the hill, carving shallow S turns as he went, keeping his speed up. He glanced back to see the young woman mimicing his crouch in an attempt to catch up with him. So it really was a race. Gabe grinned at her and then returned his attention to his course down the run. The trail swung a rather hard left and he did a flat spin over the surface of the snow so he could be facing the inside of the turn and have better control when he went into it.
As he entered the turn he saw the girl gaining ground having angled in early to try and pass him in the corner. He laughed a bit as he cut into the corner and glanced back to watch her. He was suprised by the fact she'd caught up and was passing inside, on the higher terrain of the corner. She then cut down infront of him, cutting him off and sending up a spray of fresh powder at him. Her voice was pretty, yet there was an irritation to it that he noted. "Quit trying to steal my run you ass.. First tracks are mine."
Gabriel reacted first to her attempt to cut him off by carving hard into the side of the turn and then arching back out, his back towards the girl as he carved along the outside edge of his board and came back down behind her, turning the board to aim back down the run, crouching down to maximize his speed. He passed to her back and then did another flat spin so he was facing her and cut right infront of her, leaning towards his outside edge in the middle of the turn, changing the direction of the turn and sending a spray of fresh snow up into her face in return. "I don't think so sweetie, you gotta be the first one down to claim first tracks."
The girl threw an arm up and wiped off her goggles from Gabe's spray of snow and then growled as she pursued him down the hill. Gabe glanced back at her, watching as she fought to catch up to him, their speeds almost equal as they continued on their crash course down the hill. Gabe looked ahead, to where the run took a long C-like route around a small cliff face, which was blocked off by a thin hunter orange rope, meant to keep skiers and boarders from dropping off the edge.
"Screw it." Gabe glanced back at the girl and waved goodbye as he aimed right for the edge of the cliff, which dropped probably 15 feet or so, not a bad drop, especially with all the fresh powder that would surely be piled up at the base. Right before he got to the rope he leapt, his powerful legs launching him over the rope. He did a nose-grab on the board and quickly executed a 360 degree spin as he began to fall, keeping the nose of his board up so when he landed he didn't lose control and crash. He let out another whoop of excitement, and almost lost his concentration during the spin when he saw the girl leaping the rope right behind him, executing a tail grab in opposition to his nose-grab.
When Gabe hit the snow she was right behind him and to his left, and the two continued their race the short distance to the base of the run. The two ended up facing each other as they made their way down the run, both checking the other's progress as they fought for position. They were neck and neck down the hill, both trying to push for more speed. Gabriel just barely got the edge with about 100 yards to the base of the run and he used it to his advantage.
Risking a rather nasty crash he swerved in at the girl, forcing her to slow down and swerve to avoid colliding with him. "You fucker!" Ah it was sweet music to his ears as he swerved away from her and sailed casually off of the run, having won the right to brag about first tracks on it. He merged out onto the nearby main trail and slowed down, balancing comfortably on the board, now straightening up a bit to keep from pushing such extreme speeds.
Within another minute or two he was back at the bottom of the hill and had just reached down to unbuckle his boots as he heard another boarder carving towards him. He glanced up to see the girl in pink and white aiming right for him. She didn't hit him, but instead spun the board 90 degrees and put her weight on the outside edge, spraying him with snow. So suprised was Gabriel that he fell backwards onto his ass, his foot popping out of the loose bindings.
"What the hell?!"
He wiped snow from his face as he pulled his goggles off and looked up at the girl who was glaring at him with pale blue eyes, her own goggles having been pulled off. "That's what you get for cheating and stealing my run you jerk!" She smirked and then reached down to unbuckle her own boot as Gabriel pushed himself back up, leaving the board on his left foot so he could slide over the snow.
"Hey it's not my fault you couldn't keep up." Gabriel said as he slid by her, smirking when she looked up at him with a glare. "But hey, it'd be unfair of me to not at least give you a chance to eat my dust again sweetie, but I expect a good prize for winning twice."
He didn't stop to see her reaction, instead he slid up into the lift line with the rest of the skiiers and boarders heading that way. He figured she'd just give up and take a different lift, until he heard her pretty voice asking people if she could go up with her 'boyfriend'. He glanced over as she slid up next to him, giving him a murderous glare, her pretty face not really the right type for such looks, in fact he thought she just looked cute looking at him like that.
"Alright wise-ass, you're on. When I beat you this time I get what ever I want." The way she said that made Gabriel at first curious and then made him fidget slightly as her eyes trailed down over him and she got a devilish smirk.
"Alright girlie, and what if I win?" Gabriel arched an eyebrow as they slid up to the lift and the chair came around and scooped them up off of the snow.
The girl seemed to think for a moment and then smirked looking back at him with a shrug. "Anything you want, anything at all." She winked at him and then put on her goggles and looked straight ahead.
Gabriel just gulped a bit and put his own goggles down as he looked down at the runs they were passing over. Well that sure was an open ended prize and Gabriel wasn't quite sure what he'd ask for when he won, but she did say anything and that made things even more interesting. He found himself grinning like a school boy as he leaned back in the lift and watched the soft white world pass under them.
The ride up the hill wasn't quick and while Gabe usually liked silence he found himself wanting to talk to this pretty young thing next to him. He glanced over at her, catching her sending a curious glance his way. "I'm Gabe, so what's your name?"
She looked back over at him and smirked a bit before looking back out at the top of the hill. "If you win maybe I'll tell you."
"Alright, be like that, I'll just keep calling you Sweetie and Girlie.. works for me." He replied in a cocky manner, leaning back amiably in the lift and looking back up at the hill infront of them. He heard her grit her teeth together at the mention of what he'd call her, but she kept quiet, just shooting him another irritated glance before shifting so she was ready to get off the lift.
Gabe adjusted a few seconds later, helping her push the bar infront of them up so they could get off the lift chair. When they got to the top of the lift both of them slid off in unison their rear foot, coming to rest on the board infront of the open binding so they could slide away from the lift and not bottle up traffic getting off. They slid to a stop 20-30 meters away and both leaned over, putting their loose foot in the bindings, buckling themselves into the board.
Gabe straightened up first and glanced up at the sun, which was rising higher in the sky. It was getting warm so he pulled off his hat and tucked it into a pocket in his coat. He reached up, ruffling his hair a bit as he looked over at the girl who was straightening up as well. She glanced over at him and smirked before pulling her cap off and putting it away too. Her thick brown hair fell down around her face, framing it nicely, which made Gabe stare for a moment before collecting himself. She was one hell of a looker, that was for sure, but that didn't change the fact that she was his competition.
Once the girl'd put her hair up in a pony tail she glanced back at him and arched an eyebrow. "So you ready to get your ass kicked there pretty boy?" Her tone was mocking as she looked at him, full lips pulling back into a smirk.
Gabriel just arched a brow and snorted in amusement. "Lead the way Sweetie. Oh, and just so you know that'll be the only time I'll be enjoying looking at your ass, the rest of the time you'll be eating my powder."
"Oh we'll see about that." She replied before she turned towards the run they'd just raced down, stopping at the edge and waiting for Gabe, who lingered a little bit, good as his word and enjoying the sight of her shapely behind as she made her way down to the top of the run they were going to take.
He slid up besid her and looked down over the edge before glancing back her way. "When ever you are ready Sweetie." He smirked at her as he said it and watched her face flush in irritation before she readied herself.
"Ready.. Set.. GO!" When she said go they both rotated their boards and leaned forward, almost in unison. They started their descent right beside each other, picking up speed as they started down the run, both staring intently down the hill.
They remained side by side, separated by only a few feet for almost a minute, carving side by side as they wound down the hill side, each guaging the other one in an attempt to figure out where they could make their move. A few people that had come up the lift before them were on the run and most got out of the way as the two racing teens shot down over the snow.
Gabriel made the first move, dropping his weight down and back on the board to lift the nose and pick up speed, though with less control than if he'd leaned forward. The board shot forward a bit, giving him some ground on the girl as they headed towards the first turn, where she'd tried to pass him before. He glanced back to see her trying to cut the same angle as she had before, which made him laugh. He cut hard to the left to get infront of her and slow her down, but found that when he did so she jogged right and picked up speed, passing him easily.
Gabriel swore and spun his board, crouching down to make up for lost time. The two were now hurtling down the hill at break neck speeds, aimed right for the same cliff they had jumped before. She'd actually gained some ground on him and leapt off of the edge of the cliff a couple of seconds before Gabriel.
As Gabriel cleared the lift he watched her rotating in a flip and angled his board down to drive himself down faster, so he'd hit the snow faster and be at a greater speed shortly after hitting. At least that was his plan, and that went to shit as he watched her fully invert infront of him and reach to the bottom of her coat, jerking it down over hear head, along with her shirt and revealing large, bare breasts to his view. He totally lost concentration and forgot what he was doing.
It cost him as he hit the snow, too busy thinking about her amazing breasts. He hit the snow with his board pointed down too much and lost control, flipping over and hitting the snow painfully. "SHIT!" He heard her laughter as she continued onward down the slope. Gabe pushed himself up and resumed the chase after her, going as fast as he could to make up the lost ground, but it was a losing battle. When he reached the end of the run she was standing there watching him with an amused look on her face.
Gabriel stopped beside her, glowering. "And you call me a cheater! What the hell was that?!" His accusation just made her laugh as she stood there on her board, arms crossed under her full breasts, watching him in amusement. "Hey, you were the one that said it's not unfair if you can't keep up. Should have been watching the snow and not my tits."
"Ha ha very funny. Alright so you won." Gabriel said, glowering and hating the fact he'd lost. His competative nature didn't deal well with failure and loss and now he was sure she'd do something to embarass him, probably making him board naked down the hill or something.
"Yes I did.. First and foremost, how long are you going to be staying in Vail?" She asked, an eyebrow arching a bit as she watched him, those pretty blue eyes staring intently at him.
"I dunno, a few more days maybe. Why?"
She just grinned a bit and slid closer to him, leaning up and in so her lips were almost touching his ear. "Because my prize for winning is the fact that you are now my slave, and since you said you were staying for a few days you are going to be my slave for the next three days."
Gabriel almost fell over when she made that statement, looking at her in shock as he relaxed his body a bit and slid back from her a few inches before stopping. "You have got to be kidding! No way am I gonna be your slave for three days!"
She arched an eyebrow and looked at him threateningly. "Oh really? So I guess that I should just call my parents, who are down in Denver and tell them that I found the wayward son of the Kwatee. Yep, before you even ask I am Tocho, suprised you didn't notice, but my parents did say you only worry about yourself. So, I've got my parents condo nearby and they won't be coming up for at least three days, maybe more. So either you are my slave for those days, Gabriel Harrison, or I'm going to call my daddy and tell him where you are."
Gabriel did fall over now, so shocked that he forgot to pay attention to keeping an edge on his board and slipped, crashing down onto the snow. "You've got to be kidding me! You're blackmailing me by threatening to call my father if I'm not your slave?"
She nodded with a smirk and put her hands on her hips. "Yep, that sounds like a pretty fair deal don't you think. You get your freedom from your parents for a few more days and I get a pretty-boy slave. Last chance 'Sweetie' make your choice, or I'll get my cellphone out of my pocket and call right now."
Gabe just sat there staring at her for a moment, not really processing exactly what he was going to do about the situation. He could run, but then he'd eventually end up being caught by his parents or one of the other Tocho, especially since they'd realize he was traveling well outside of his usual haunts. He took a deep breath and looked down at the snow between them, chewing on his bottom lip for a second.
"Alright fine.." He looked back up at her as he said it, pushing his goggles up ontop of his head as he locked eyes with her. "I'll play along for the next couple of days, but if you let it slip that I'm here the deal's off."
The girl just grinned happily and nodded. "Sweet! I've always wanted someone to do everything I want, and I promise I won't tell on you as long as you are a good slave and do everything you are told." She giggled and reached forward, putting a hand out to help him up. When he took it she helped haul him up onto his feet and smiled at him, leaning up and kissing him lightly on the cheek. "There, now the deal is sealed. I'm Angelica by the way, but for the next few days you are only allowed to call me 'Mistress'. Got it?"
Gabriel rolled his eyes and glanced back up at the hill. "Alright, 'Mistress', so what's your first order, want me to let you win a couple more races or what?" Gabe glanced back down at her and then felt a suspicious itch crawling down his spine at the devilish look that was shining in her eyes and the smile on her face.
"Nope. Come on, we're done boarding, I'm not going to waste three days of having a slave snowboarding." She grinned and turned, leading down the hill towards the base of the lift. Gabriel on the other hand looked in the direction of where he was staying and almost took off in that direction. By the time she figured out he wasn't behind her he could have changed form and be most of the way back to the cabin.. He'd be on the road within an hour or two and probably able to stay ahead of the rest of the Pride for at least 3 days.
"Aw fuck it." He shook his head and turned his board downhill, following her to the base, to find her standing there, already out of her bindings and giving him an irritated glance. "I said to follow me, you've been my slave for 5 minutes and you are already screwing up.. Tsk tsk.. I might just have to make that call if this is the kind of service to expect from you."
Gabriel yanked his bindings off and picked up his board, glaring at her a moment. "What ever, you're too excited that I said yes to make that call yet. You'll at least make me squirm first." Gabriel said as he walked away from the loading area for the chair lift and down to the trail leading back towards the lodge and shopping area.
Angel was beside him almost instantly, smirking up at him. "You know you're right.. and believe me I am gonna make you squirm." Her saying that didn't make Gabe feel any better about the situation, in fact it made him flinch ever so slightly as he wondered exactly what her plans for him were.
"I need to go back to where I'm staying and grab some clothes, it'll take me maybe half an hour." He said as he glanced in the direction of the woodshed he was staying at, still wondering if he could escape. That'd give him an even better chance.
It was like she was reading his mind as she looked up at him with a smirk. "Nope, you're not going anywhere. I've got my parent's credit card and permission to use it for buying clothes and what ever I want, so guess what?! We'll buy you all new clothes. Come on."
Angel grabbed his hand and led him towards the rows of boutiques that had clothing for every occasion, from skiing to dressing up for formal events. Gabriel felt her dragging him along and just shook his head. 'Great, this is going to be a wonderful few days, being led around by some crazed chick with a superiority compex. Fuck my life!' Gabriel thought.
Angel stopped before they got to the boutiques and went into one of the condo lobbies, leading Gabe through to the ski/board lockers. She put her board in one of the lockers and then his. She then peeled off her pink and white jacket and hung it inside before looking over at Gabe. "C'mon, off with the jacket, it's not like you get that cold without it."
Gabe had really not heard her speak, instead he was looking at her upper body, which was rather nicely displayed by a skin tight sweater. She wasn't your usual anorexic looking teenage girl, instead she was nicely filled out with an hour glass shape, full breasts and a narrow waist. He felt himself salivate slightly at the sight and then twitched as he looked back up to her face and her outstretched hand. He realized she wanted his coat and pulled it off, handing it to her.
At 15 Gabriel was rather well formed for his age, his slim build well toned and rather muscular, nothing compared to the way he would be as an adult, but still an impressive specimen for one so young. He felt Angel's eyes looking him over appreciatively, and caught her licking her lips very briefly. "Well glad to see I didn't end up with a skin and bones cub for the next few days. Yeah you'll do nicely."
That made Gabriel squirm slightly, which just made Angel grin more as she pressed up against him and leaned up, lips brushing his ear as she whispered. "See I told you I'd make you squirm, but believe me, there is a lot more to come." Her breathy whisper stimulated more than his mind as he felt himself become aroused, even more so when she gently nipped his earlobe and then pulled back.
"Alright then slave, lets get you some new clothes. Follow me." She took his hand and led him back out the door. Gabe followed her, his eyes now fixing themselves regularly to her gorgeous form as she led him down the row of boutiques. She stopped from time to time to look into some of the windows until she found a store that seemed to tickle her fancy. She led him inside and smiled at the young woman that was there to help customers.
The young woman approached, looking over the two teens almost distainfully at first, as if they weren't really supposed to be in a place like this. Angel didn't act like she noticed, but Gabriel did and it irritated him. Angel responded to the woman's snippy "Can I help you?" with a friendly smile as she held a hand up towards Gabriel. "My boyfriend here needs some new clothes, shirts, slacks, sweaters, a jacket, some swimming trunks, shoes, the whole bit."
"I see.." The woman said, arching an eyebrow as she looked at Gabe who was staring intently at her, his predatory nature adding to the intensity in his gaze. The woman couldn't keep eye contact for more than a second and she looked back towards Angel. "That won't be cheap young lady, are you sure you have enou..." The woman suddenly shut her mouth as Angel pulled out a platinum Visa and handed it to the woman.
"Yes, I'm sure I have enough, thank you." Angel just smiled at the woman in an almost demeaning manner and the woman stumbled over herself to apologize as she took the card and gestured for them to look around and that she'd be more than happy to help them if they needed anything.
Angel led Gabe through the store, picking out clothes, stopping to ask sizes for the different articles and then finding ones that she fancied and dumping them into Gabriel's arms. With each arm full she'd send him into the dressing room and have him try everything on, telling him what to keep and what to put back. She'd then do it over again.. It felt like an eternity for the earthy young teen, who detested shopping, and about an hour and a half later they were done, with Angel leading him out of the store, waving to the ever so helpful young woman.
Gabriel was now wearing an alpaca wool sweater of earthy tones, a pair of chocolate brown slacks and italian leather shoes that were lined with wool to keep his feet warm. His arms were practically loaded down with bags of clothes, but it seemed that Angel wasn't about to finish shopping. They went to another couple of boutiques, one selling jewelry where she bought a few things for herself and then spotted a platinum and ivory feather pendant. She had the man behind the counter pull it out for her. After looking at it for a few minutes she had Gabe put down the boxes and bags and clipped it around his neck, looking at it speculatively for a moment before nodding and giving the man the credit card. That necklace was the one thing Gabriel always kept, only taking it off when he planned on being in Cougar form, even as an adult Gabriel kept that trinket, often toying fondly with it.

December 1995, Near Vail Colorado:
Day 1:
Gabriel had left home three or four days ago, packing up his snowboard and skis onto the back of his four wheeler and heading north. He knew his family would be looking for him, they always looked for him when he took off like this, so he'd headed further away from home than usual and slipped enough money out of his father's stockpile to keep him funded for a couple of weeks. He'd headed up to Vail to just relax and enjoy some skiing and snowboarding, away from the opressive environment his parents seemed to thrive in.
He'd gotten to Vail early yesterday, before the resort had opened and found himself a comfortable enough spot to sleep in an old abandoned wood shed about ten miles away from the resort, a quick drive on the four wheeler. He'd spent all of yesterday on the back of his snowboard, shredding the mountain and just enjoying his time alone.

No one here knew him and to them he was just some local ski bum kid that the more well off girls would think of as nothing more than a fun fling, just how Gabe liked it.
He'd started this morning much the same as yesterday, strapping his board on and taking the lift up to the top of the mountain, the first one on the lift. He'd made sure to be there early so he could get first tracks after the foot and a half of snow they'd gotten the night before. Now, standing at the top of one of the peaks he looked down at the untouched powder that lay out before him and just grinned. This was freedom, this is how people like him were supposed to live.
He savored his moment a little too long, for suddenly a pink and white form shot by him on a snowboard, stealing the run. Gabriel looked on in shock as the figure shot down his run, which just got his blood boiling, that was his run damnit and he'd be the first down it today, one way or another. He spun his board so he was aimed down hill. He leaned back to put pressure on the back of the board and help him gain control of the board before he dropped his weight forward and felt the sudden acceleration as he began to slide down the hill.
Gabe didn't hold anything back, for the intruder had already gained quite a bit of ground on him, but Gabe knew the run was long and his added weight and strength would allow him to push his board to greater speeds.

Gabe's whoop of excitement drew her gaze up and a he saw a slight scowl on her face at the fact that she'd been caught up to and passed.

As he entered the turn he saw the girl gaining ground having angled in early to try and pass him in the corner. He laughed a bit as he cut into the corner and glanced back to watch her. He was suprised by the fact she'd caught up and was passing inside, on the higher terrain of the corner. She then cut down infront of him, cutting him off and sending up a spray of fresh powder at him. Her voice was pretty, yet there was an irritation to it that he noted. "Quit trying to steal my run you ass.. First tracks are mine."
Gabriel reacted first to her attempt to cut him off by carving hard into the side of the turn and then arching back out, his back towards the girl as he carved along the outside edge of his board and came back down behind her, turning the board to aim back down the run, crouching down to maximize his speed. He passed to her back and then did another flat spin so he was facing her and cut right infront of her, leaning towards his outside edge in the middle of the turn, changing the direction of the turn and sending a spray of fresh snow up into her face in return. "I don't think so sweetie, you gotta be the first one down to claim first tracks."
The girl threw an arm up and wiped off her goggles from Gabe's spray of snow and then growled as she pursued him down the hill. Gabe glanced back at her, watching as she fought to catch up to him, their speeds almost equal as they continued on their crash course down the hill. Gabe looked ahead, to where the run took a long C-like route around a small cliff face, which was blocked off by a thin hunter orange rope, meant to keep skiers and boarders from dropping off the edge.
"Screw it." Gabe glanced back at the girl and waved goodbye as he aimed right for the edge of the cliff, which dropped probably 15 feet or so, not a bad drop, especially with all the fresh powder that would surely be piled up at the base. Right before he got to the rope he leapt, his powerful legs launching him over the rope. He did a nose-grab on the board and quickly executed a 360 degree spin as he began to fall, keeping the nose of his board up so when he landed he didn't lose control and crash. He let out another whoop of excitement, and almost lost his concentration during the spin when he saw the girl leaping the rope right behind him, executing a tail grab in opposition to his nose-grab.

He merged out onto the nearby main trail and slowed down, balancing comfortably on the board, now straightening up a bit to keep from pushing such extreme speeds.
Within another minute or two he was back at the bottom of the hill and had just reached down to unbuckle his boots as he heard another boarder carving towards him. He glanced up to see the girl in pink and white aiming right for him. She didn't hit him, but instead spun the board 90 degrees and put her weight on the outside edge, spraying him with snow. So suprised was Gabriel that he fell backwards onto his ass, his foot popping out of the loose bindings.
"What the hell?!"
He wiped snow from his face as he pulled his goggles off and looked up at the girl who was glaring at him with pale blue eyes, her own goggles having been pulled off. "That's what you get for cheating and stealing my run you jerk!" She smirked and then reached down to unbuckle her own boot as Gabriel pushed himself back up, leaving the board on his left foot so he could slide over the snow.
"Hey it's not my fault you couldn't keep up." Gabriel said as he slid by her, smirking when she looked up at him with a glare. "But hey, it'd be unfair of me to not at least give you a chance to eat my dust again sweetie, but I expect a good prize for winning twice."
He didn't stop to see her reaction, instead he slid up into the lift line with the rest of the skiiers and boarders heading that way. He figured she'd just give up and take a different lift, until he heard her pretty voice asking people if she could go up with her 'boyfriend'. He glanced over as she slid up next to him, giving him a murderous glare, her pretty face not really the right type for such looks, in fact he thought she just looked cute looking at him like that.
"Alright wise-ass, you're on. When I beat you this time I get what ever I want." The way she said that made Gabriel at first curious and then made him fidget slightly as her eyes trailed down over him and she got a devilish smirk.
"Alright girlie, and what if I win?" Gabriel arched an eyebrow as they slid up to the lift and the chair came around and scooped them up off of the snow.
The girl seemed to think for a moment and then smirked looking back at him with a shrug. "Anything you want, anything at all." She winked at him and then put on her goggles and looked straight ahead.
Gabriel just gulped a bit and put his own goggles down as he looked down at the runs they were passing over. Well that sure was an open ended prize and Gabriel wasn't quite sure what he'd ask for when he won, but she did say anything and that made things even more interesting. He found himself grinning like a school boy as he leaned back in the lift and watched the soft white world pass under them.
The ride up the hill wasn't quick and while Gabe usually liked silence he found himself wanting to talk to this pretty young thing next to him. He glanced over at her, catching her sending a curious glance his way. "I'm Gabe, so what's your name?"
She looked back over at him and smirked a bit before looking back out at the top of the hill. "If you win maybe I'll tell you."
"Alright, be like that, I'll just keep calling you Sweetie and Girlie.. works for me." He replied in a cocky manner, leaning back amiably in the lift and looking back up at the hill infront of them. He heard her grit her teeth together at the mention of what he'd call her, but she kept quiet, just shooting him another irritated glance before shifting so she was ready to get off the lift.
Gabe adjusted a few seconds later, helping her push the bar infront of them up so they could get off the lift chair. When they got to the top of the lift both of them slid off in unison their rear foot, coming to rest on the board infront of the open binding so they could slide away from the lift and not bottle up traffic getting off. They slid to a stop 20-30 meters away and both leaned over, putting their loose foot in the bindings, buckling themselves into the board.
Gabe straightened up first and glanced up at the sun, which was rising higher in the sky. It was getting warm so he pulled off his hat and tucked it into a pocket in his coat. He reached up, ruffling his hair a bit as he looked over at the girl who was straightening up as well. She glanced over at him and smirked before pulling her cap off and putting it away too. Her thick brown hair fell down around her face, framing it nicely, which made Gabe stare for a moment before collecting himself. She was one hell of a looker, that was for sure, but that didn't change the fact that she was his competition.
Once the girl'd put her hair up in a pony tail she glanced back at him and arched an eyebrow. "So you ready to get your ass kicked there pretty boy?" Her tone was mocking as she looked at him, full lips pulling back into a smirk.
Gabriel just arched a brow and snorted in amusement. "Lead the way Sweetie. Oh, and just so you know that'll be the only time I'll be enjoying looking at your ass, the rest of the time you'll be eating my powder."
"Oh we'll see about that." She replied before she turned towards the run they'd just raced down, stopping at the edge and waiting for Gabe, who lingered a little bit, good as his word and enjoying the sight of her shapely behind as she made her way down to the top of the run they were going to take.
He slid up besid her and looked down over the edge before glancing back her way. "When ever you are ready Sweetie." He smirked at her as he said it and watched her face flush in irritation before she readied herself.
"Ready.. Set.. GO!" When she said go they both rotated their boards and leaned forward, almost in unison. They started their descent right beside each other, picking up speed as they started down the run, both staring intently down the hill.
They remained side by side, separated by only a few feet for almost a minute, carving side by side as they wound down the hill side, each guaging the other one in an attempt to figure out where they could make their move. A few people that had come up the lift before them were on the run and most got out of the way as the two racing teens shot down over the snow.
Gabriel made the first move, dropping his weight down and back on the board to lift the nose and pick up speed, though with less control than if he'd leaned forward. The board shot forward a bit, giving him some ground on the girl as they headed towards the first turn, where she'd tried to pass him before. He glanced back to see her trying to cut the same angle as she had before, which made him laugh. He cut hard to the left to get infront of her and slow her down, but found that when he did so she jogged right and picked up speed, passing him easily.
Gabriel swore and spun his board, crouching down to make up for lost time. The two were now hurtling down the hill at break neck speeds, aimed right for the same cliff they had jumped before. She'd actually gained some ground on him and leapt off of the edge of the cliff a couple of seconds before Gabriel.
As Gabriel cleared the lift he watched her rotating in a flip and angled his board down to drive himself down faster, so he'd hit the snow faster and be at a greater speed shortly after hitting. At least that was his plan, and that went to shit as he watched her fully invert infront of him and reach to the bottom of her coat, jerking it down over hear head, along with her shirt and revealing large, bare breasts to his view. He totally lost concentration and forgot what he was doing.
It cost him as he hit the snow, too busy thinking about her amazing breasts. He hit the snow with his board pointed down too much and lost control, flipping over and hitting the snow painfully. "SHIT!" He heard her laughter as she continued onward down the slope. Gabe pushed himself up and resumed the chase after her, going as fast as he could to make up the lost ground, but it was a losing battle. When he reached the end of the run she was standing there watching him with an amused look on her face.
Gabriel stopped beside her, glowering. "And you call me a cheater! What the hell was that?!" His accusation just made her laugh as she stood there on her board, arms crossed under her full breasts, watching him in amusement. "Hey, you were the one that said it's not unfair if you can't keep up. Should have been watching the snow and not my tits."
"Ha ha very funny. Alright so you won." Gabriel said, glowering and hating the fact he'd lost. His competative nature didn't deal well with failure and loss and now he was sure she'd do something to embarass him, probably making him board naked down the hill or something.
"Yes I did.. First and foremost, how long are you going to be staying in Vail?" She asked, an eyebrow arching a bit as she watched him, those pretty blue eyes staring intently at him.
"I dunno, a few more days maybe. Why?"
She just grinned a bit and slid closer to him, leaning up and in so her lips were almost touching his ear. "Because my prize for winning is the fact that you are now my slave, and since you said you were staying for a few days you are going to be my slave for the next three days."
Gabriel almost fell over when she made that statement, looking at her in shock as he relaxed his body a bit and slid back from her a few inches before stopping. "You have got to be kidding! No way am I gonna be your slave for three days!"
She arched an eyebrow and looked at him threateningly. "Oh really? So I guess that I should just call my parents, who are down in Denver and tell them that I found the wayward son of the Kwatee. Yep, before you even ask I am Tocho, suprised you didn't notice, but my parents did say you only worry about yourself. So, I've got my parents condo nearby and they won't be coming up for at least three days, maybe more. So either you are my slave for those days, Gabriel Harrison, or I'm going to call my daddy and tell him where you are."
Gabriel did fall over now, so shocked that he forgot to pay attention to keeping an edge on his board and slipped, crashing down onto the snow. "You've got to be kidding me! You're blackmailing me by threatening to call my father if I'm not your slave?"
She nodded with a smirk and put her hands on her hips. "Yep, that sounds like a pretty fair deal don't you think. You get your freedom from your parents for a few more days and I get a pretty-boy slave. Last chance 'Sweetie' make your choice, or I'll get my cellphone out of my pocket and call right now."
Gabe just sat there staring at her for a moment, not really processing exactly what he was going to do about the situation. He could run, but then he'd eventually end up being caught by his parents or one of the other Tocho, especially since they'd realize he was traveling well outside of his usual haunts. He took a deep breath and looked down at the snow between them, chewing on his bottom lip for a second.
"Alright fine.." He looked back up at her as he said it, pushing his goggles up ontop of his head as he locked eyes with her. "I'll play along for the next couple of days, but if you let it slip that I'm here the deal's off."
The girl just grinned happily and nodded. "Sweet! I've always wanted someone to do everything I want, and I promise I won't tell on you as long as you are a good slave and do everything you are told." She giggled and reached forward, putting a hand out to help him up. When he took it she helped haul him up onto his feet and smiled at him, leaning up and kissing him lightly on the cheek. "There, now the deal is sealed. I'm Angelica by the way, but for the next few days you are only allowed to call me 'Mistress'. Got it?"
Gabriel rolled his eyes and glanced back up at the hill. "Alright, 'Mistress', so what's your first order, want me to let you win a couple more races or what?" Gabe glanced back down at her and then felt a suspicious itch crawling down his spine at the devilish look that was shining in her eyes and the smile on her face.
"Nope. Come on, we're done boarding, I'm not going to waste three days of having a slave snowboarding." She grinned and turned, leading down the hill towards the base of the lift. Gabriel on the other hand looked in the direction of where he was staying and almost took off in that direction. By the time she figured out he wasn't behind her he could have changed form and be most of the way back to the cabin.. He'd be on the road within an hour or two and probably able to stay ahead of the rest of the Pride for at least 3 days.
"Aw fuck it." He shook his head and turned his board downhill, following her to the base, to find her standing there, already out of her bindings and giving him an irritated glance. "I said to follow me, you've been my slave for 5 minutes and you are already screwing up.. Tsk tsk.. I might just have to make that call if this is the kind of service to expect from you."
Gabriel yanked his bindings off and picked up his board, glaring at her a moment. "What ever, you're too excited that I said yes to make that call yet. You'll at least make me squirm first." Gabriel said as he walked away from the loading area for the chair lift and down to the trail leading back towards the lodge and shopping area.
Angel was beside him almost instantly, smirking up at him. "You know you're right.. and believe me I am gonna make you squirm." Her saying that didn't make Gabe feel any better about the situation, in fact it made him flinch ever so slightly as he wondered exactly what her plans for him were.
"I need to go back to where I'm staying and grab some clothes, it'll take me maybe half an hour." He said as he glanced in the direction of the woodshed he was staying at, still wondering if he could escape. That'd give him an even better chance.
It was like she was reading his mind as she looked up at him with a smirk. "Nope, you're not going anywhere. I've got my parent's credit card and permission to use it for buying clothes and what ever I want, so guess what?! We'll buy you all new clothes. Come on."
Angel grabbed his hand and led him towards the rows of boutiques that had clothing for every occasion, from skiing to dressing up for formal events. Gabriel felt her dragging him along and just shook his head. 'Great, this is going to be a wonderful few days, being led around by some crazed chick with a superiority compex. Fuck my life!' Gabriel thought.
Angel stopped before they got to the boutiques and went into one of the condo lobbies, leading Gabe through to the ski/board lockers. She put her board in one of the lockers and then his. She then peeled off her pink and white jacket and hung it inside before looking over at Gabe. "C'mon, off with the jacket, it's not like you get that cold without it."
Gabe had really not heard her speak, instead he was looking at her upper body, which was rather nicely displayed by a skin tight sweater. She wasn't your usual anorexic looking teenage girl, instead she was nicely filled out with an hour glass shape, full breasts and a narrow waist. He felt himself salivate slightly at the sight and then twitched as he looked back up to her face and her outstretched hand. He realized she wanted his coat and pulled it off, handing it to her.
At 15 Gabriel was rather well formed for his age, his slim build well toned and rather muscular, nothing compared to the way he would be as an adult, but still an impressive specimen for one so young. He felt Angel's eyes looking him over appreciatively, and caught her licking her lips very briefly. "Well glad to see I didn't end up with a skin and bones cub for the next few days. Yeah you'll do nicely."
That made Gabriel squirm slightly, which just made Angel grin more as she pressed up against him and leaned up, lips brushing his ear as she whispered. "See I told you I'd make you squirm, but believe me, there is a lot more to come." Her breathy whisper stimulated more than his mind as he felt himself become aroused, even more so when she gently nipped his earlobe and then pulled back.
"Alright then slave, lets get you some new clothes. Follow me." She took his hand and led him back out the door. Gabe followed her, his eyes now fixing themselves regularly to her gorgeous form as she led him down the row of boutiques. She stopped from time to time to look into some of the windows until she found a store that seemed to tickle her fancy. She led him inside and smiled at the young woman that was there to help customers.
The young woman approached, looking over the two teens almost distainfully at first, as if they weren't really supposed to be in a place like this. Angel didn't act like she noticed, but Gabriel did and it irritated him. Angel responded to the woman's snippy "Can I help you?" with a friendly smile as she held a hand up towards Gabriel. "My boyfriend here needs some new clothes, shirts, slacks, sweaters, a jacket, some swimming trunks, shoes, the whole bit."
"I see.." The woman said, arching an eyebrow as she looked at Gabe who was staring intently at her, his predatory nature adding to the intensity in his gaze. The woman couldn't keep eye contact for more than a second and she looked back towards Angel. "That won't be cheap young lady, are you sure you have enou..." The woman suddenly shut her mouth as Angel pulled out a platinum Visa and handed it to the woman.
"Yes, I'm sure I have enough, thank you." Angel just smiled at the woman in an almost demeaning manner and the woman stumbled over herself to apologize as she took the card and gestured for them to look around and that she'd be more than happy to help them if they needed anything.
Angel led Gabe through the store, picking out clothes, stopping to ask sizes for the different articles and then finding ones that she fancied and dumping them into Gabriel's arms. With each arm full she'd send him into the dressing room and have him try everything on, telling him what to keep and what to put back. She'd then do it over again.. It felt like an eternity for the earthy young teen, who detested shopping, and about an hour and a half later they were done, with Angel leading him out of the store, waving to the ever so helpful young woman.
Gabriel was now wearing an alpaca wool sweater of earthy tones, a pair of chocolate brown slacks and italian leather shoes that were lined with wool to keep his feet warm. His arms were practically loaded down with bags of clothes, but it seemed that Angel wasn't about to finish shopping. They went to another couple of boutiques, one selling jewelry where she bought a few things for herself and then spotted a platinum and ivory feather pendant. She had the man behind the counter pull it out for her. After looking at it for a few minutes she had Gabe put down the boxes and bags and clipped it around his neck, looking at it speculatively for a moment before nodding and giving the man the credit card. That necklace was the one thing Gabriel always kept, only taking it off when he planned on being in Cougar form, even as an adult Gabriel kept that trinket, often toying fondly with it.
