Cats Graces(Chiffon and ShadowStalker)

She had jumped back from him when he stretched. And as she listened to the velvet tone of his voice, she shook her head.

“No, please, don’t go.” She said softly as she met his eyes. She moved to sit back beside him, her hand gently cupping his cheek.

“You are real, aren’t you?” Genna was amazed. His features where identical to the man in her dream. Almost as though he had walked right out of the folds of her mind into flesh and blood.

She had no understanding of how it could be possible that he was in place of her cat, but somehow it just seemed to make sense. She blushed as her gaze followed his chiselled muscles.

“You can’t leave like this anyway. You need some clothes.” She stood. “Let me see if I can find you something.” She paused at the door way of her bed room and looked back at him.

He was incredible, and he was in her room! She flushed deeper and rushed into the guest room. Her brother had left a box of clothes for her to add to and then take to the donation centre, surely she could find her mysterious man some clothes.
 
"Yes i am. I'm sorry. I didnt know how to tell you..... Thank you, clothes would be nice." He smiled at her as she turned to fetch him something to wear.

Nathanial stood up, he walked to the door way and waited for Genna to return. He stood stark naked in the door frame as she walked near. " My name is Nathanial Walker, I am the last living member of my familily. Also the only heir to the Walker legacy.... Thank you, you saved my life the other day."

Nathanail took the clothes she handed him and began to get dressed.
 
Genna leaned back against the door jam after she passed him the clothes. She was using it as support since her head was spinning. His name sent tingles up and down her spine, in a good way, and his admission of being alone sent them down it, in a wrong way. He may have had somewhere to go, but it would be alone, and in some way that
cause her heart to break just a bit. She looked at him.

“Nathanial,” she said softly trying it out on her lips. “My name is Genna Lands. Genna, short for Genevieve. I am very glad I found you, if it
made the difference between life and death.” She lowered her eyes, trying not to stare as he dressed himself. Her brother, thankfully, had been about the same height, and while the jeans were just fashionably loose, the shirt was stretched taunt over his broad shoulders and well developed chest. She stole a quick look at him, dressed and in her room, her breath catching slightly.

“Can I make you something to eat, Nathanial?” She asked softly, still leaning against the door jam, her hands braced behind her back. She wanted to touch every inch of him, his whole being calling to hers. Genna was afraid if she let her hands go, they would touch him of their own volition.
 
He dressed slowly, noticing how her eyes never truelly left his body. "Nice to officialy meet you Genna". He greeted her and held out a hand his pants only half up his legs, a sly smile touching the corner of his lips.

"Well, breakfast does sound good. But, dont you have to get to work? I dont wish to be anymore burden on you". He finished getting dressed and followed her out the room. "Besides, there are a few things that i need to take care of, now that i can".

He hugged her, a warm grateful hug. "thank you". Stepping back from the hug he looked at her, taking her in completely with his eyes. "How can i ever repay you for your kindness"?
 
“The pleasure is all mine,” she smiled at him, blushing a bit deeper as she looked away and let him get dressed. “I have a late shift today, and really am owed some time, so no one will question if I am a bit late.”

She smiled softly at him as she made her way to the kitchen.
Genna shivered as Nathanial pulled himself away. She smiled softly at him.

“You paid back my kindness already, but not hurting Jaxson.” She forced herself to focus, as she began cooking some bacon and some eggs. Having such a good looking well built man in her kitchen though was definitely distracting. Genna couldn’t decide if he’d been more dangerous as a panther, or as a man.

She set a plate of hot food before him, handing him some cutlery, she turned to the fridge. She poured a small glass of juice and a larger glass of water for them both, then stat beside him to eat as well.

She could feel the heat of his body radiating to hers, the deep sensual musky scent of his skin. Damn, she was in trouble.
 
Nathanial stood leaning on the wall just inside the kitchen as Genna cooked breakfast. It smelled great, and his mouth began to water for both the food and the woman that was prepairing it.

When she gave him his food and drink then sat next to him, Nathanial could feel the desire start to heat up within him abit more. He could smell her sent and feel the heat her body gave off as if she were a furnace. He felt himself getting aroused sitting there, and loose fitting pants began to grow tighter by the sec.

Nathanial ate slowly. He hoped that his erection would die down some given enough time unattended. How ever, even as he tried to ignore it, every second he spent sitting next to this woman, perfect in every physical and emotional way, his lust and desire to make her his grew stronger.

By the time he finished his meal, Nathanial was finding every excuse to not look at Genna. His erection had got so out of hand that it caused him physical pain in its attempts to continue its groth. And Nathanial KNEW there was no possible way for him to get up with out revieling his desire to her.
 
Genna flushed, she was nearly breathing hard just from sitting beside him. She licked her lips gently, her tongue lightly caressing them before she smiled at him, the blush evident in her cheeks. She hoped she hadn’t done anything to make him feel uncomfortable, but the intensity to which he seemed to be looking anywhere but at her, said otherwise.

“I’m sorry,” she murmured softly as she stood and cleared her plate from the breakfast bar. Rinsing her plate before setting it in the dishwasher, she had her back to him, as she contemplated. She was unbelievably conflicted. Part of her knew this was the same soul as the cat, and longed to touch and caress him. She sighed and the turned back to him.

“I don’t understand how you exist, but I want you to know, “ she paused, raising her eyes to him. “If you need anything Nathanial, you know where to find me.”

She approached him and leaned over to take his plate, her body, gently brushing against his accidently. The slight touch made her breath catch, as close as she was, she knew she had her answer. He was more dangerous as a man, a gorgeously sexy man.
 
Nathanial watched her naked body stand and walk to the sink to put away her dirtied dishes. Even though she was fully dressed the image of her perfectly curved hips, tight round ass, and plump firm breasts he saw the night before over powered his fully aroused mind.

"If you need anything......"

He needed her. Right now... As she reached for his plate and he felt her body rub on his own, he moved with concious thought. The fluid grace of predator rippling through his body as he stood to face her. His right hand found her ass with a gentle squeeze as his left pulled her body tightly against his own.

Nathanial had pressed his lips to hers before her mind could even work fast enough to register that he had moved. He tasted her mouth and felt her body against him. His erection screeming for freedom trapped between them and inprisoned by the pants she had given him.
 
Genna’s mind was swirling. When had he moved to capture her? Her gasp of surprise was cut off by the pressure of his lips against her own. God, his mouth was even better than she had imagined. She opened her mouth to his, letting him probe and taste every inch over her. She felt the rush of heat as his hand gently cupped her ass to him.

Oh my, those jeans!

Genna felt the overload in her system as her mind tired to sort out all the sensations. She could feel the heat of Nathanial’s hard length against the crook of her hip, and it made her ache. The warmth of his hand on her backside as he possessed her mouth was like kerosene on a burning flame, growing her desire making it leap to his will. When her lips left his, she was nearly panting, short of breath, as her body moulded against his. She looked up at him, her green eyes dark with an answering need, that she say in his smouldering gold ones.

“Nathanial,” she whispered softly before offering her lips back to him.

The taste of his smoky tongue was addicting, and at the moment all Genna could focus on was wanting, all of it and more.
 
Nathanial was loosing himself in the kiss as Genna pulled back to catch her breath. As she leaned back in to take his lips back to her, he let loose. Nathanial reached down grabbing Genna's ass firmly in both hands, picking her up off the floor, never breaking her kiss. He set her down on the table and began to explore her neck and ears, along with her mouth, with his lips and tounge.

Nathanial grabbed hold of Genna's shirt and ripped it off her body as if it were none more than thin paper. Leaning over her now half naked body, making her lay back across the table, Nathanial moves to include Genna's breasts to his exploration.

His hands roamed over her body as he kissed down Genna's neck and chest. He sucked her nipples and lightly nipped each one with his teeth. He quickly cut of any noise that tried to excape her lips with his own pressed firmly back to her mouth.

Nathanial loved to hear the moans and cries of a woman in the throws of passion, but right now he wanted to build the tension with in her body and not allow her to release even the slightest bit until it overwhelmed her. He continued to work her upper body. Sucking, licking, kissing, and lightly biting her breasts neck and lips, cutting off all sighs and moans quickly before they could fully develope.
 
The heat in his eyes had nearly been her complete undoing Genna though, until he picked her up and lay her on the dining room table. This was her undoing. Her shirt popped open effortlessly as Nathanial rented it, his mouth, his lovely mouth, claiming every inch of her skin.

She had a moment of wonder, as he licked and laved at her nipples, if he knew how similar the action was to the lick he gave her as a cat. But it didn’t matter, the heat he was building in her was all because of him, as a man. She arched her back to him, and tried to moan, but then his lips were on her, pillaging her mouth yet again. She slid her hands into his hair and tugged him closer to her, feeling his intent to move before he did so.

He was positioned between her thighs in the most intimate of ways, she could feel his need pressing against her own as he continued licking and kissing her. She arched up under him, allowing one hand to stray from his hair, and wander down his back to his hip and the tight compactness of his ass. She felt another moan rising in her throat, and in seconds his mouth was back on hers, his hands claiming her skin in place of his mouth as their lips locked. The shift in his weight more on to her body drove her deeper in to the flames of desire.
 
His lips moving back to her breasts, Nathanial quickly undid Genna's pants. One hand under her back he gently lifts her to slide off the offending barriers between himself and the woman beneath him.

Running his hands back up her legs Nathanial massages Genna's lower body with hith his hands as his mouth does the same up top.

Breathing heavy her presses his lips to hers once again, sealing the world away with the passion he gives to her as his hands reach down and finaly free his aching member from its prison within his pants. Breacking the kiss only long enough to remove his shirt and take a quick breath before diving back in to capture her soul with his lips.

Nathanial could feel the heat burning from her skin, the musles fighting to release the preasure built up within her. He could smell her sex and knew that by the strength of the beautiful aroma that her juices were flowing freely all over the table she lay on.

Nathanial held the kiss in place, sealing the much needed oxygen away from her lungs driving every other sensation of shear pleasure even higher. As her body began to fight against the preasure of his kiss, Nathanial released her lips and drove his throbbing member deep within Genna. Half out of breath himself, Nathanial cried out as he felt her tightness squeeze him.
 
Genna gasped for air as Nathanial released her lips and then plunged hard into her. Her whole body tensed about him. She spread her thighs wider for him as she arched her back. She opened her eyes to look into his.

“Nathanial,” she cried as he pushed into her again. The movement of his hips against hers was incredible. She linked an arm about his neck, pulling herself nearly to a sitting position her breasts crushing against his chest, as she gently licked at his ear. Caressing the ridges with her tongue then slowly sucking on his earlobe. She let her fingers move down his powerful shoulders, stroking the rippling muscles in his back, down to his tapered waist. She pulled back looking into the golden orbs of his eyes, and licked her lips before letting her hand clutch at his firm tight ass, pulling him deeper into her body. Genna moaned softly as she felt his muscles flex as he withdrew from her then pushed easily back into her wet willing body. She moved slightly hooking one of her legs about his waist and pulling him closer.

She’d never done anything like this before, having hot wild sex with someone she barely knew. But then, that wasn’t right was it? She knew him, just in a different form. And oh how she was loving THIS form.

“Don’t stop, Nathanial..please...”
 
Nathanial wrapped his arms around Genna's back as she pulled herself up to him. He held her body to his feeling the steam they created rise to his face making him sweat in thier bubble of flames. He pumped his dick in and out of her with rythmic percision.

When Nathanial felt her leg wrap around him, he stood up. Easily lifting Genna off the table. Keeping himself burried inside her, Nathanial kissed Genna's lips as he walked across the floor. His hips moving with fluid grace making her body rock as if on water. His dick sliding and twisting within her body.

Nathanial pressed Genna against the wall of her kitchen. Pinning her suspended over the ground with his own body. Grabbing her legs, he lifts lem higher giving better access to her, and opening her wider.

Pulling back his hips Nathanial releases his kiss. His soft golden eyes flashing for the briefest of moments before being replaced with the eyes of his predator cat.

Thrusting forward back into the goddess of woman that he held before him, Nathanial let loose the softest of feline screams. He drove his dick into her with more power and grace than any normal man could hope to match. He kissed her lips, sucked her ears and lightly bit her neck as the house began to shake from the force of thier love making against it.
 
Genna was losing herself. As Nathanial changed their position, and pressed her against the wall, she gasped. She’d never been taken like this, and it was thrilling. She clutched at his broad shoulders, her eyes dark with need as she looked at him. The flash in his eyes lit what was left of her control on fire.

She wanted him, every inch of him.

She found his lips and kissed him deeply. Her tongue invading his mouth, searching for his own and tasting it as she gently sucked it into her own mouth. She flexed her thighs, tightening her walls about his shaft as he pushed in and out of her. She tore her mouth from his and licked his neck to his ear, her breath coming in fast short pants.

“Nathanial, I’m so close...” she whispered in between moans of pleasure. She was going to cum hard for him, and then she planned to lay him down in her bed and lick every inch of his body into making love to her again.

Threading her hands into his hair she stroked his head, wrapping her arms about his neck as she cradled it to her collarbone. The embrace itself as intimate as anything she’d ever experienced. Genna cried out softly as the waves of muscle contractions began radiating from her core.
 
“Nathanial, I’m so close...”

Nathanial worked his hips harder and faster till he felt Genna begin to sqeeze him harder. Her body working his, trying to milk him of every last drop of cum. He could feel himself loosing the battle to hold back his own orgasm.

He stopped driving his hips back and forthhis dick deep inside Genna's body. Letting her off the wall, Nathanial lifts her left leg and passes it before his face. Spinning Genna on his dick and setting her down on her hands and knees on the floor.

Nathanial reaching around Genna's body and grabbing her breast in his left hand and teasing her clit with his right, nathanial fucked her from behind. He felt her pussy pulsing around his dick. Her cum flowing around his cock and dripping from his hand.

He fucked her hard, his hips pounding her ass turning it red. She squeezed him tighter and tighter till the friction between them refused to let him do more than throb inside her. Thier body thobbed together and it threw him over the edge. With another feline scream he exploded inside her filling her with his own cum.

He quicky flipped her over on her back between spirts of cum. Her tightness twisting the skin around his dick still sealed inside her. Laying ontop of her he pressed his lips to hers and took her tounge with his as he rolled her over to lay atop of him as he finished his orgasm. Holding her naked body tightly against his own he kissed her passionately.
 
Genna was breathless as she lay on top of him. His lips were smoky and masculine, as they kissed. She gently pulled back, his body still lodged deep in hers as she looked down into his golden eyes.

“I have never,” she started to say, but drifted off. He knew, she didn’t need to say it. She braced herself up with her arms as she looked down at him, her thighs straddling his trim hips. She had the fleeting though she should have asked him to wear protection, but quickly dismissed it.

“That was incredible, Nathanial.” She whispered as she let herself get lost in his eyes. Genna felt a tug at her heart as she looked down at him. She wanted to know everything about him. How he had ended up so wounded, what he was, who he was. She was about to ask when the shrill sound of the house phone went off. She looked over to the phone, which seemed a million miles away, and then down at Nathanial. She smiled softly.

“I should get that,” she said, her tone making it more of an apology than a statement, yet she made no effort to move.
 
Nathanial lay on the floor looking up into Genna's eyes. She sat atop of him looking back. Her bright green eyes captured his soul in that intimate moment and he felt her gentle tug on his heart."You are amazing Genna". Just then the phone rang.

“I should get that”

When she didnt move to answer the phone Nathanial sat up, kissing her once again. He gently held Genna by her hips and effortlessly lifted her off of himself. "Perhaps you should." As she walked over to answer the phone Nathanial stood and follwed after her. He wrapped his arms around her shoulder and side from behind, crossing diagnaly over her chest and kissed her softly on the neck.
 
Genna’s body protested as Nathanial made her get up, every fibre of it wanting nothing more than to stay locked with him. She walked over to the phone and picked it up.

“Hello?” She asked, trying to keep her voice steady. Nathanial’s arms wrapped about her, and the heat of his naked body behind her countered that effort well. Even with his heat, she felt her body go cold as she listened to the voice on the other end.

It was her brother.

Jaxson wandered away from school at the morning recess, and had not come back. Genna listened to him, in shock. Part of her wanted to accuse her brother and his wife for fighting again within ear shot of their son. But the other part of her knew her brother was just as worried as she was. She glanced at the clock. It was nearly lunch now, and still no sign of him. Her body collapsed against Nathanial, as she used him for support.

“I understand, I‘ve not seen him either, but I will look...yes..you called them. Good, saves me from having to. No, I was supposed to. But something came up this morning, so I was late.” She blushed from that explanation, but it was true. She hung up and momentarily stared at the phone, before twisting in Nathanial’s arms to face him, hot tears beginning to streak her face.

“Jaxson is missing. He went out for recess this morning and never came back.” She choked on the words.
 
Nathanial held her close, pressed her tightly to his own body. He could feel her shiver in delight as he held her and kissed her neck. Then her joy was gone. Faster than a blink her body got hard, then she lost herself and fell into his embrace. She would have hit the ground hard had Nathanial not been there to catch her.

He couldnt hear who it was or what they said, but Genna began to shake in his arms. “I understand, I‘ve not seen him either, but I will look...yes..you called them. Good, saves me from having to. No, I was supposed to. But something came up this morning, so I was late.”

Listening hard, trying to catch something that would tell he what was wrong. He could hear her voice growing weaker with every word. Nathanial began to get angry at who ever was calling his gaurdian angel causing her this pain. He caught the refference to her having to work and figured that they were calling to harrass her. Every musle in his body flexing, he was ready to defend her to the death if need be.

When she turned to face him, Nathanials heart stopped. The look in her eyes almost killed him. “Jaxson is missing. He went out for recess this morning and never came back.”

He didnt stop to think about what she just told him. In his family, and the war they faught, people were catpured sometimes. He knew exactly what had to be done, and it needed done NOW.

He quickly scooped her up and carried her to her bed laying her gently down. "Where is his school? How long has he been gone?" Nathanial spoke with a calmness that would startle an army general. He could feel her body shaking and knew that his words would take a moment to register. Nathanial walked into Genna's bathroom and searched the cabinet for sometging to help her nerves. He found a small bottle of tylenol, he filled a small cup that sat on the sink, prob used for brushing her teeth, with water and took them to her. He sat next to her on the bed. "Here take these." he offered her the pills and water. "Breath Genna, where does Jaxson go to school and what time is recess?" running his hand through her hair and across her cheek to help sooth her Nathanial waited for Genna to reply.
 
Genna took the small cup of water and the Tylenol. She focused on Nathanial.

“His school is about 5 blocks north and then two east of here. Recess was at 10:15am, it’s now nearly 12:30pm.” She paused, her hand on his arm.

“Nathanial,” she started and then choked on the words. She was scared.

Jaxson was a curious sort. Maybe he’d gone to the woods to look for the big cat his Auntie had. What if he ran into the same beast that Nathanial had? What if that creature had smelled Nathanial on him? Genna’s head swam, he was just eight. She took a deep breath and tried to steady herself. She needed to focus. She raised her eyes to Nathanial’s and she felt a calm heat centre her.

Her brother and wife were at wits end. They had checked everywhere, even the sanctuary to see if he’d gone looking for Genna. But there was no sign of him. They had called the police and an alert had gone out along with a photo of Jaxson. But none of it mattered as she locked eyes with Nathanial.

She knew without a doubt he would make it right. Tears streaming from her eyes, she pulled him in and kissed him deeply, hoping it could express better her depth of emotion.
 
Nathanial listened to Genna as she gave him directions to Jaxsons school and filled him in on the details of when he disapeared. He kissed her back when she her lips met his. Then he laid her back and pulled the blankets up her body. "Stay here incase he comes by. I would also recomend you put some clothes on if you wanna get up. I will be back soon after Jaxson is safe." He kissed her again and walked out the room pulling the door closed as he left.

Nathanial went back to the dining room and quickly got dressed himself. He walk out the house locking the door as he left. His Genna was naked in her room, he didnt want want someone walking in and suprising her.

Nathanial took a quick look around. Nobody in sight. He let the animal in him slowly rise. His eyes took on the sharp vertical pupil of the cat, and his smooth skin got slightly darker as the fur rested just beneath the surface. He took off running towards the school Jaxson had gone missing from.

As he got near, Nathanial saw several police cars parked out front thier light flashing. He worked his way around the building, keeping out of sight of the officers working the missing kids case. He worked his way back into the brush and completed the shift into the powerful panther.

Nathanial worked his expert tracking skills and quickly picked up Jaxsons trail. The relief would have been visible to anyone, had they been able to see him, when he discovered that the trail was Jaxsons alone. Nathanial raced through the woods behind the school following Jaxsons path as the predator he was after his prey. The panther ran through the woods for about five minutes.

He found Jaxson sitting under a tree crying. The panther walked up slowly to the small boy. He reached him with out being bnoticed and rubbed his panther head against the boys arm. As Jaxson looked up and saw the large cat in front of him he began to screem, but the panther quickly licked the boys cheek and sat down.

"Your aunt Genna's cat arent you?" Jaxson asked through the tears streaming from his eyes. "I dont where i am. I was playing and followed a this really cool bird in here. Now im gonna be lost forever!" Jaxson began crying again as he finished telling his story.

Nathanial leaned forward and dried the boys tears with the side of his head. Nathanial walk around beside Jaxson and worked his head under the boys arm. Helping him up, nathanial began to slowly walk back towards the school. What had taken Nathanial only 5mins to cover alone, took nearly a half hour with with the crying boy in tow.

By the time the school grounds came into view, Jaxson had been laughing playing again for a few minutes. Nathanial sent the boy off to the safety of the school and quickly shifted back to human and got redressed. Before making his way back to check on Genna.
 
Genna’s lips were slightly bruised from the power and promise in Nathanial’s kiss.

He would make it right.

She knew he would.

She moved to the closet and pulled out a long t shirt, slipped into it and then went to retrieve the rest of her clothes from the pile on the kitchen floor. She slipped into her jeans and gathered the other items, tossing them in the wash. She made herself a cup of tea, and then took the phone to the sun room where Nathanial had found Jaxson just the other night.

She sat in the rocking chair in the corner, thinking about her nephew. She hoped he would recognize Nathanial. Jaxson was smart though, and would likely put it together. She just hoped he was found okay, and that Nathanial didn’t endanger himself by doing so.

She gently moistened her lips, the taste of his lips still lingering on her own. Genna blushed deeply. She had let a complete stranger take her body in places she never would have imagined. She knew, the next time she had a guest over, she would be dying of embarrassment knowing what had gone on this morning on that table. But the memory of his body, his lips, and his touch, made her ache for more.

Somehow, he was wedging himself into her heart, not only as the cat she’d come to enjoy but as the handsome man he was.


She jumped out of her skin when the phone in her lap let out a shrill wail of an incoming call.
 
Nathanial had made it back to only a block away from Genna's house when the thought that he could really use some clothes that fit him properly.

He changed course and headed into town to stop by the bank. Jaxson was safe, And word word be reaching Genna soon if not already. He reached the bank not long before they closed and procceded straight to the branch managers office. When he finaly left almost an hour later, he walked out the building with $2000 cash, a card with no limit, and the keys to a new Porche. He left and went shopping for some 'desent' clothes.

Nathanial pulled back up to Genna's house around 8pm that night. Placing the 911 in park and shutting off the engine, he stepped out in his brand new slacks and sports coat over a dark blue button up shirt.
 
Genna answered the phone.

“Auntie Genna?” The voice on the other end of the line made her heart melt.

“Jaxson!!!! Where are you??? Are you safe??? What happened??” Genna sat up completely alert.

“I followed a bird into the woods, and got losted. But he found me. Your kitty found me. I tried to tell the teacher that, but she wouldn’t listen. Neither would Daddy. He is yours though, right? Cuz, Daddy said that I was telling stories.” His voice seemed so small and unsure of himself.

“He is mine,” Genna replied softly, knowing as she said it, that it was true. At least one of them belonged to the other. “But sweetheart, most grownups won’t understand about my special kitty.” Genna nearly laughed as she said Jaxson’s word. Nathanial a kitty, oh he’d make her pay if her heard her using that term she was sure.

“He has to be our secret, between you and I okay? But I am glad he found you.” She leaned back in the chair smiling. She was very glad Nathanial found him. She could feel her heart swelling with pride for him. As she hung up the phone with her nephew, Genna smiled.

She quickly dialled work to let them know everything was okay, but she was taking a personal day. She made the bed, took a shower and got dressed, putting on her best lingerie. A red satin bra with black lace trim, matching panties and black garter with sheer black stockings were discretely hidden under her snug blue jeans and white button up blouse. She then went to work, on cooking a roast. She had a feeling when Nathanial reappeared her would be hungry.

When her door rang at 8pm, Genna raced to open it. She stopped short. Nathanial was before her, elegantly dressed in his simple yet well fitting clothes. Just the sight of him made her lips part slightly, and her heart race.
