Werewolves and Mages (Javorcek X ClearSight)

Jade had woken up more conflicted than ever before in her life, though it wasn't the conflicted she had expected, or usually experienced. Usually it wasn't a good conflicted, this time it actually was. She had met a great guy, had the most amazing sex of her life, and had woken up smiling. It was as happy as she could remember being. Then she thought about what she had done in her heat driven frenzy, how she had done things that just weren't... Normal for a first night, and how she no doubt looked like a slut after jumping his bones like she did. Riding his face had been the worst of it too, but fuck had it felt good, and Jackson had soldiered through the entire thing without once stopping to rest his jaw or tongue... Stamina. It was such a sexy trait in a man, as if Jackson really needed more attractive traits. Perfection was such a strong... Accurate word. Maybe not for everyone, but for Jade he certainly had come off that way in the short time she had known him. The blessing of desires, they always did block out the bad.

Jade hadn't stuck around to find out if things would be as wonderful in the morning, managing to slip out before Jackson woke and practically run away from it all. She didn't go back to her own tent or go to find someone, but disappeared into nature to think and let herself calm down. It was a bit dramatic, it wasn't like she hadn't enjoyed every second, and she didn't regret being with Jackson for a second, but... What must he think of her? She had been a complete mess, insatiable with her heat, riding his face for so damn long, practically jumping his bones and begging for it... Well, not practically, literally. It was impossible that all that happened and he didn't think she was a tiny bit depraved... Was there? Ugh! Liking someone was such a fucking pain in the ass! Things were easier when they never got that far, but nooooo, Jackson had to be a decent guy, because that didn't make things a million fucking times more difficult.

Her feelings, as fresh and baseless as they felt, were also the reason she caught herself constantly looking back in the direction of the tents, where all the wolves were. Jackson had a match. She hadn't lost her human matches, some girl with a samurai sword won the armed event, and now Jackson had his shot to get his second straight championship win in the unleashed event. The three biggest fighting events would be over with one more match, and Jade felt the desire to go see him compete. Jackson was a warrior, not only was it sexy, being a great reason to watch with her overstimulated needs doing so much of the decision making, but she also wanted to watch as a fellow warrior and a person he had toppled to arrive at the final round. It was about time, she had been out for a rather lengthy duration and now if she wanted to go see Jackson's fight she needed to get up and do it... But... Fuck. She rose to her feet and started heading towards the arena, all of her melodrama not being enough to stop her from going and at least watching him fight, she owed him that much, no matter how embarrassed by her actions she was.
 
“Mrgphgh…fuck…” Jessie grumbled as she woke. Bleary eyed and with a pleasant ache in her thighs and rear from fucking her mate all night, she was tempted to just roll over and go back to sleep, but the tent was bright with the morning light and-- Morning?! The wolf jolted upwards, untangling a snuggled up and sleeping Leslie from her in the process. “Shit, sorry baby. I overslept.” She wasn’t late, but she was definitely late for being early. The Alpha leaned down and gave her mate a hurried kiss to the temple before starting to tug on Leslie to get her awake. Jessie was like a little kid excited to show off at pewee soccer, pulling at her lover to get her up because she wasn’t so sure that if she let Leslie sleep in a little longer that the hunter would wake up in time for her match.

“Come on come on! We probably have only have enough time for a really quick dip in the lake and a bite.”

---

Jackson didn’t meditate to clear his mind or go for a pre-fight run to pump himself up like a lot of other fighters did, but he did have his own little ritual for getting ready for a big match. He liked to grab a bite to eat first, then go for a leisurely walk down to the lake so that he could wash up and shave. The wolf wasn’t particularly vain; yeah, he knew that he was handsome and liked to show off sometimes, but the reason he even bothered shaving and bathing before a fight was because it felt cleansing, made him feel ready to take on the day...and he needed to wash off Jade’s scent from the night before. The female’s smell was incredibly distracting, especially because she had run out on him this morning and whatever issues they had were unresolved. He couldn’t worry about all that right now, he had a match to win.

---

There were two extra officials in the Unleashed ring, their sole job specifically to make sure that no more wolves jumped into the arena today. With only a mute wolf and a human to deal with, they didn’t seem all too worried. If there was ever a time for fearful mates to run out onto the field, it was for this event. The finals were always the most violent, neither competitor ever wanting to take it easy on the other; they had made it so far, had worked and trained so hard to get up to this point.

Jackson and Jessie were no different, they may be related but they weren’t going to show any mercy. The prestige that came with winning Unleashed was huge. The fact that the Sandalio Alphas were in the top two slots spoke volumes to the strength of their small but sturdy clan. They may not have the same world-renowned power as the Chaumonts, Marroks, may not have a massive clan like the Berges, but the few in their numbers were all strong and just their genetic material made them very valuable in the werewolf world. Not like it really mattered because both twins were spoken for…well Jackson was only sort of spoken for, but still, it was a good reflection for their pack in it’s entirety.

As the twins took the field, the crowd erupted with cheers and applause. Strangely enough, the females in the crowd were actually cheering for Jessie, pushing aside their hormones long enough to realize that they wanted to see another female win Unleashed. Jessie had won the match twice, five and six years ago before her knee injury made it hard to train and compete. Jackson had won once when he was eighteen and again last year, so tied up two and two, Jessie was looking to take that third win for the sake of bragging rights over her brother. Jackson was pissed though, wanting just to kick his sister’s ass for meddling in his affairs.

Both twins shifted, Jackson was much taller and stronger than his female twin. But Jessie had her own advantages: she was much more flexible, faster, and actually trained to fight. Her training didn’t do much for her in this form, but having the mindset of a true fighter definitely help…at least it did, when your opponent wasn’t holding a grudge. As soon as the whistle blew, the pair of them were off, immediately going at one another like a pair of wild wolves. Massive paws batted at one another as they fought for position, bodies pressed against one another as Jackson and Jessie both tried to bite eachother’s neck in order to get leverage.

Jessie and Jackson had fought before, usually the two of them were on fairly even ground…but today Jackson had the edge. The male wolf was completely and utterly enraged that his sister had meddled in his love life. He could expect that from their mother, but his sister?! His twin?! They had come out of the womb together for fuck’s sake! If he couldn’t trust her then who the fuck could he trust in this world?

As Jessie tried to get low so that she could bowl her brother over, her brother saw his opening. The female launched herself at him, shoulder going straight into his gut and the pair of them tumbled to the ground. While they had been airborne though, Jackson had managed to bite down on his twin’s scruff, making the female yowl in pain as teeth broke skin.

”You’re supposed to be my family! You’re supposed to have my back!” The wolf male wolf snarled.

Still?! Jackson was still upset that she had gotten him laid?! ”It’s for your own good! If you weren’t so busy being miserable and alone all the time you’d be able to see when a female likes you.” Jessie batted at her brother, but when that didn’t do anything she played dirty and bit down on his ear.

The wolf howled and released Jessie’s scruff and in turn his twin released his ear, they broke away from one another and rolled, quickly scrambling onto all fours. The pair began to circle one another, Jackson still looking furious and Jessie trying to figure out if she could play her big dumb brother’s emotions like a fiddle.

”She doesn’t fucking like me! She regrets having anything to do with me!”

”How the hell would you know?! She can’t even speak! Jessie barked. “And it’s not my fault you can’t please a woman to the point that she regrets being with you.

Good point or not that Jackson didn’t know for sure what Jade felt, he heard that last insult loud and clear. He charged forward, ready to rip his sibling to shreds.
 
Leslie wasn't exactly in the 'wake-up' mood, but as her mate made it all to clear there was no other choice she opened her eyes and lazily flipped over. "Okay okay... I can't just jump up though, your relentless fucking has left my legs feeling a bit like jelly." She whined as she got to her feet, the idea of dipping in that mana pool of a lake helping her perk up, but she still didn't move as quick as she could have. Hell, nobody would be moving at top speed after as many rounds of sex as her and Jessie had made it through... And almost every orgasm had been from the ruthless pounding of her lover's wolf. As much as it aroused Leslie, she was looking forward to getting back home and doing things like cuddling and the more intimate things they often did... Holding back on the rough stuff, and for Leslie to want to pull back on the rough treatment was saying something. It was the first time in their relationship that Leslie felt a bit tired out sex wise.

Luckily the start of their day was uneventful, giving her some time to relax in the lake, eat a nice breakfast, and then head to the sidelines to cheer her mate on. Even more fortunately was Jessie's opponent. Leslie would have been hard pressed to interrupt a fight, unless someone was trying to kill her mate, she knew Jessie wouldn't be happy. With Jackson as her mate's opponent, the hunter didn't have to worry. She knew that Jackson wouldn't kill his sister, and wouldn't maim her... He would try and win, she knew enough about him to know he wouldn't back down, but he was still a nice guy beneath all the huffing and puffing. So as Jessie entered the ring and the fight started, Leslie just leaned against the railing and watched, chuckling about the extra protection for the match... How little a chance they would have to stop her if she wanted to be by her lover's side... They would die before stopping her.

---

Jade had started at the edge of the crowd, but curiosity drove her closer as the match started, her eyes glued to the pair of combatants, the twins. They were both powerful, Jade had found that out in person, but the ferocity behind the fighting was impressive. Generally it wouldn't be so vicious between siblings or friends, though really the only thing she had to judge that by was her and Clara's fight once upon a time. Neither of them were really the loud and flashy types... Well, maybe Clara was flashy when she wanted attention, but their fight had been, simple. A contest of power between two people who respected one another, Jackson and Jessie seemed more intent on the aggression aspect, and the wolf soon learned why. 'She doesn't fucking like me! She regrets having anything to do with me!' It had hit her in the gut, the words barely loud enough for her to her from the edge of the ring, but her hearing was quite exceptional... And she had been paying very close attention to him. It wasn't true... She didn't regret a moment of it, but Jackson thinking she did made her chest hurt, and Jade clung desperately to the wood of the arena, fingers digging in to the material and eyes staring out, silently rooting for Jackson to win.
 
Jackson was doing exactly what Jessie was hoping for: the big dumb lummox charged straight for Jessie in a blind rage. She knew that her brother was quick to anger and equally quick to go charging headfirst into battle. So as Jackson charged forward she jumped, grabbing onto her brother’s shoulders and landing on his back as he ran forward. Jackson quickly snarled and tried to claw at Jessie’s arm as she tried to put him in a sleeper hold, but his sister was too quick and too strong. All he could do was throw himself backwards onto the ground and hope the impact would be enough to shake her loose. Jackson’s ears twitched at the sound of a sickening crack upon landing. He immediately rolled away, knowing that his twin’s body wasn’t supposed to make those sorts of sounds. Sure enough, Jessie was clutching her bad knee that had popped out of place. He wasn’t about to hit his sister when she was down, even though he was pretty mad… Jessie didn’t know that though and began frantically waving her surrender.

“Hooooooly fuck put it back put it back!” Jessie hissed as she shifted back into her human form. She began banging her head back onto the ground, the little thumps of pain to her skull helping distract herself from the pain in her leg.

“Fine, fine, stop being such a baby.” Jackson grumbled as he transformed back. The official moved to raise his arm and declare him the winner but Jackson cut him off, moving to help his sister because he knew that she would freak out if the medics tried to fix her leg. Popping a knee back into place wasn’t really part of his EMT training, but he’d done this for Jessie a couple of times before and felt fairly comfortable doing it. He was still pretty mad at his twin, but he wouldn’t deny his flesh and blood some help when she needed it. Carefully he aided Jessie in sitting up and then grabbed her left ankle and calf. He bent her leg back and then slowly straightened it, trying to ease the joint back into place. The loud pop! of her knee locking back in made a couple of the more civilized wolves in the crowd cringe. By the time her leg was back into place, the medics had come out with a stretcher to put Jessie on so that she could be carried back to the medical tent and her leg could be braced for a few hours so that it could heal correctly.

“Hrrrmph. I’ll dislocate your knee sometime and see how much you like it.” Jessie huffed. She eyed the medics warily as they approached her but decided that there wasn’t much they would do to her besides splint her leg. The wounds that she had sustained weren’t too bad…a lot of cuts and scrapes all over her body, but nothing that needed stitches like the terrible bite that Mara had given her the day before. “Look…I’m sorry about whatever with Jade. I was just trying to help.”

“Yeah, well, before you try to ‘help’ me how about you ask first.” Jackson glared at his sister, but his anger couldn’t last him forever, the girl was his twin after all. “I guess it’s fine…knowing that your ass is stuck in a medical tent takes some of the pain away.”

Jessie stuck her tongue out at her brother and then flipped him off goodbye as the medics carried her away. It was disappointing to lose a match but she’d survive. Besides, Jackson being a champion would help improve his chances of landing a good mate, even if it wasn’t Jade.
 
Watching the match was exciting, Jessie was a strong woman, and Jade respected strong women, in fact both her and her mate were powerful, they made an impressive couple... Especially the human, she had been a big point of conversation for some of the wolves, even talk of her resembling a hunter. Jade didn't really care about that, and while a lot of people seemed pissed when the topic was brought up the consensus, as best an outcast like Jade could tell, was that any hunter marked and fucked in front of wolves like Leslie had been... Wasn't really a hunter. As graphic as their lovemaking had been it may have been a help in making wolves accept her, or not care because the woman was a clear beta in their eyes. Still, what was more impressive than the strength of Jackson's sister and her mate was Jackson himself. Not his strength, Jade had already been impressed by that, but his love for his family, how as soon as Jessie was hurt the male calmed down from one hell of a rage and went to help her, ignoring the spotlight of the biggest event at Parekura. It was a sexy quality.

The entire Sandalio family was passionate, only further proven when Leslie hopped the fence across the arena and gave the first person who tried to stop her such an intimidating look that he jumped back and let her pass. She wasn't running, she didn't make a scene, but she walked over and waited for Jessie to start getting moved and followed, eventually taking her hand as they walked. It was lovely, and it only helped Jade make the decision she had been fumbling with for the entire fight, even if it was a bit short. She didn't hop the fence, but she waited and moved in the direction Jackson did, making it over as he exited, standing in front of him, and just looking for a moment. It was a bit silly, everyone had been looking at Jackson and had all been ready to congratulate him, but whether they knew something had been going on between the two of them, or if some of them were just a bit scared of angering a fighter like Jade, even if plenty of the women were angry and envious, they did nothing.

Jade looked up at Jackson, chewing her lower lip and wishing she could just say it aloud and make things easy on both of them... Or have Clara translate... Or have a piece of paper or phone, but being practically naked made communication more difficult than ever for the wolf. So she did something that she hoped said enough... At least enough to make it clear she wasn't filled with regret. Jade took several steps forward, close to Jackson, and let her forehead smack against his chest, hiding her face in his body and wrapping her arms loosely around his waist. It was supposed to say, 'Sorry for running off, I'm an idiot, I like you'. She wasn't sure if it delivered its message but she looked up, blushing furiously, and gave him a quick peck on the lips to ensure he at least got some of her meaning. Fuck, she was so bad at relationships... Or whatever in the fuck they had going, their little Parekura romance not quite being a relationship, all they had done is fight and fuck, which while being amazing as far as Jade was concerned, didn't lend itself towards defining a relationship.
 
After he had been announced as a winner, Jackson made his way towards the exit of the arena. His victory felt a little hollow this time around… He should be jumping for joy and grinning like an idiot like last year when he had won. But now he just had a sense that everything was all over; Parekura was ending tonight, tomorrow morning he’d be on a plane bound for home and none of what he had accomplished here would matter because the female that he had been trying to impress didn’t want anything to do with him. At least, that was what he had been thinking until he came upon Jade standing in his path. For once he wished that Jade could talk to him. Usually it was a relief that the female couldn’t speak, Jackson much rather share experiences rather than words. She confused the shit out of him by actually coming up and hugging him. He watched her closely, trying to figure out what on earth had made her come back to him. A peck to the lips and an apologetic look made him smile. He’d have to go back to his tent and grab a pen and a piece of paper, but for now he didn’t care why Jade had been mad at him earlier, he’d fix it later, right now he just wanted to spend time with her.

Jackson leaned down, taking Jade’s lips in a deeper, more passionate kiss because the previous peck just wasn’t going to do. Besides, he wanted the females that were still eying the champion intently to back off, he was obviously interested in someone else. When he pulled away he smiled, then rubbed his jaw a little bit. “Guh…you really wore out my jaw last night you know?” The tall male teased in a low whisper. “Sooo…since you’re not mad…would you like to spend the rest of the day with me?” Jackson was a bit banged up and his ear was bleeding from where Jessie had bit him, but he wasn’t about to waste some time in the medical tent when he could be with his girl. It may be presumptuous to think that Jade belonged to him when they were in a poorly defined relationship, but too damn bad; he liked her, she had slept with him, that made her his.

“Maybe we can go for a swim in the lake? Walk through the woods?” Jackson wouldn’t object to being in the tent for a repeat of last night either, but he wanted to give Jade a sense that he wasn’t in this just for the sex.

---

Anna woke up to the sound of cheers erupting from the direction of the arenas. Dark eyes opened and peered around the tent; Clara was still passed out right next to her and the whole tent was lit up with sunlight. Crap… Even in her sleepy state, she knew that such roaring applause would only come from the Unleashed event, which meant that she had missed watching her siblings compete. It made her feel like a jerk for not attending a competition that was so important to the twins…but after looking down at the gorgeous, sleeping and satisfied young woman in her arms, she couldn’t keep beating herself up.

“I love you baby…” The young Latina whispered as she kissed Clara’s forehead, trying to rouse her as gently as possible. When her lover only whined and rolled over, muttering something about ‘cinq minutes de plus’, the wolf smirked. Oh, she’d give her mate five more minutes alright. Anna wriggled her way down her sleepy Alpha’s body, offering up soft kisses and licks to keep Clara dozing as she settled into a position between two lovely long legs. Last night had revolved entirely around strap on play and this morning Anna just wanted to sort of set off a signal that even though she had loved taking her mate in such a way, she also liked what they had been up to before. Kisses and licks soon turned into long, slow strokes of her tongue along the outher lips of her lover’s sex to tease her girlfriend into waking up. Part of her was curious to see just how long Clara would keep snoozing like this for, so she went slow, gladly taking her time to let her tongue explore the delicious slit that she hadn’t sampled in quite some time.
 
Nobody had ever said being with Jade would be easy, aside from her rather quirky personality, part of which came from being somewhat of a social moron, she couldn't communicate exactly what it was she wanted like most people could. She was like some overcomplicated contraption that came with a set of instructions in a different language... Nothing about her was simple. For the maze of confusion that she was, Jackson was dealing with it pretty damn well. The male seemed patient enough to deal with her various spasms of confusing, and most importantly of all he seemed to be attracted to the parts of Jade other guys didn't feel as strongly for. He found the real her attractive and it made it difficult to find fault with him, especially when his own qualities were so fucking charming. Hell, he was into her enough to send out the message that no other girl should be paying him any mind, and at the same time saying something similar to any guys looking her way. It made her remember his heroism, and that made her get all hot and bothered.

Still, they only had a small window to enjoy each other's company, and Jade wanted to make the most of it, so instead of trying to charades out what she wanted to do she took Jackson's hand and started leading him away towards the lake. After all, they needed to be clean before going back to the tent and 'bonding' a bit more. Yes Jade wanted to talk a bit, clarify that she wasn't mad, and that the confusing look she had given him when he suggested she had been was because she had been embarrassed. She was a girl, conversation and romance appealed to Jade, but they both had to know what their relationship was, a fling. It was a wonderful fling... Jade really liked Jackson, to the point that she was tempted to give him the title of 'most perfect guy she had ever met', but they had a fast approaching expiration date and she wanted to enjoy the bit of time they did have, and have enough sex to tide her over for a good while, because unfortunately for every other guy who looked at her, she would be comparing them all to Jackson, and they would come up short.

It was actually kind of sad, thinking that after Parekura she would be alone again, knowing that the best thing to happen to her in forever was out of her grasp, but as they made it to the lake, and she dragged him in, she made the resolution not to waste a second of the time they had thinking about it being over. It would be a waste...

---

Anna had been a first timer when they started, nervous and unsure of herself... But by the end of the night, well Clara was worn out, and Anna had seemed to develop a tiny taste for topping. She had a feeling her mate was still a bottom, but maybe switch was a more appropriate word, because once her cute bunny had started, well... There was now a new reason for her nickname to be little bunny, because she hadn't stopped until they were both exhausted. It had been enough to send Clara right into a deep, satisfying sleep, and her dreams were filled with snippets of Anna and many naughty things. Most tantalizing damn virgin ever, Anna was really a pain in the ass, being just as tempting as she was adorable, and really making it tough for the French alpha to keep her libido under control. Oh when she finally got a hold of her lover... She was going to fuck her so long she wouldn't be walking well the next morning.

That had been just the image in Clara's head when she regained consciousness, not opening her eyes but slowly becoming aware of what was being done to her, and it took all she had not to smile or giggle. She pretended to be asleep for a moment, letting Anna continue to lick and tease as she moaned ever so slightly, body reacting favorably to the current wake up method. She slowly shifted, and only opened her eyes when she was in position and let her legs wrap securely around Anna's head. "Mmmm, Anna alarm clock, how about you do this every morning and I promise I'll be on time to class... And I'll make you breakfast... And do whatever you want." She chuckled slightly but a moan soon drowned her playful promises out, not that she didn't mean it. If she could get woken up with soft tongue every morning, well Clara would have been a much more energetic and productive person. Maybe she could bring it up again when they got back home, pose it as some scientific research project to get Anna on-board. "Oh yeah, come on love, use your tongue... Fuck yes." She moaned, head back on the pillow and soft thighs keeping Anna in place.
 
Like most men, Jackson could be a little immature at times; a nice swim in the lake quickly turned into one of those times. A few laps around the shallow shore (Jackson had a fear of deep water because he had nearly drowned in the ocean as a kid) turned into a splash war, followed by some wrestling and racing about in the water. Most women found his playfulness and rough-housing off putting; his inability to grow up and take things seriously usually sent up red flags; but Jade seemed to be enjoying it….well she was smiling anyways, so Jackson thought she liked the play.

It wasn’t long before all their water battles turned into some light grappling, then to some heavy groping. By the end of the swim, Jade was pulled firmly up against Jackson’s body, the male’s strong hands resting on her perfect ass, and the pair of them were wrapped up in a passionate kiss. But unlike his twin who was apt to pounce on her mate in public, Jackson was a more private wolf… at least when he was in his human form. “Back to the tent…?” The tall male asked hopefully. It was hard not to sound too eager at the prospect of claiming Jade again, but Jackson couldn’t help it. He was a ‘live in the moment kind of guy’…and in this moment he wanted to claim the woman that he was so inexplicably attracted to.

----

Anna didn’t mind being a bottom at all. She loved servicing Clara and actually found that letting the more experienced wolf take the lead was actually rather relaxing. Taking the top role had it’s high points as well though: it was pretty thrilling…at least after all the bumbling around and awkwardness; after that though, Anna definitely felt an adrenaline rush and had really enjoyed taking control last night. Right now she was perfectly content giving teasing licks and flutters of her tongue to Clara’s slit.

Once her mate was moaning and those beautiful blue eyes were open and looking down at her, Anna met her lover’s gaze and grinned up at her, tongue never stopping it’s work. She kept up the slow, soothing strokes of the velvety muscle, barely suppressing a snicker as Clara began to lay out what would surely be the parameters to some ridiculous experiment. “If I did this every morning, you’d never want to get out of bed to go to class in the first place.” Anna giggled. Clara loved to just stay in bed and fool around, hell, they both did, but while her lover always felt more energized after a round of sex, Anna just got cuddly and wanted to take a nap afterwards.

When her lover prompted her for more, Anna dipped her head back down, tongue swirling over the swollen button of Clara’s clit. The more her mate moaned, the more enthusiastic Anna was about pleasing her mate. That sexy French accent was absolutely music to her ears and Anna wanted to hear more. So she doubled her efforts, lips wrapping around the sensitive bundle to suckle on as her tongue began to last the bud harder.
 
One thing about Jade that people either liked or hated, was the way she responded to childish games and rough-housing. As opposed to some people who found it all a bit silly, or the girls who couldn't handle the playful combativeness, Jade loved it. The second Jackson started splashing her and they began to wrestle, Jade was grinning and smiling, absolutely having a blast. It was like foreplay... And yes, Jade's idea of foreplay was a bit like a dominance match, wrestling and biting, teasing... She was a tad unusual as far as the traditional 'girl' ideology went. So, as it had been the entirety of Parekura, Jackson simply felt more perfect when his idea of fun wasn't some macho 'cool guy' act, and he stated acting like a giant kid. It was fun and more than anything it was relaxing. It almost made it frustrating, just one bad thing, one little nugget of 'he wasn't right for me' would have been nice for when it was all over.

By the end she had stopped thinking about Parekura ending however, thoughts once again moving towards more... Pressing matters. Her body was grinding up against his, the groping only serving to make her pant gently and let her own hand wander a bit. The only thing she wished was that she had a bigger chest to push against him... Sometimes having little more than a washboard was depressing. It didn't stop her from nodding her head when Jackson suggested the tent, to which she also leaned up and nipped at his neck before spinning around in his arms and giving him a few playful grinds, her ass pushing against his cock. A playful grin played at her face as she turned back to look at him... Jade had definitely made up her mind that morning to enjoy and not freak out for the rest of their time together, and she wasn't going to hold back and confuse the shit out of him anymore.

---

Anna was a fascinating woman, she was a virgin by strict definition, a bit shy, adorable and with this innocent little vibe... And yet she could give oral like a pro. "Oh fuck yes..." She moaned, eyes refusing to open as her head moved around and got perfectly comfortable on the pillow. "You're perfect..." She moaned, hand gently stroking Anna's head. It was a bit odd to be thinking about how perfect Anna was for her while on the receiving end of oral, but Clara's mind never did do normal things... Thinking of sex during sad movies and while cooking... Always while cooking, which was partially why her dinners always ended in Anna on her bed. Not that they wouldn't have anyways. So thinking about how every part of Anna made her happy while her lover gave her incredible oral sex, well it was about as common as anything else Clara did.

Her thoughts settled as she was pushed closer and closer to the tipping point, sweet moans growing in frequency and volume, her voice having a begging edge, and thankfully Anna never let up. It wasn't long before she cried out, hand balling in Anna's hair and hips slamming up to keep Anna's face right where she needed it. Juices were smearing Anna's face by the time Clara's bucking stopped. Fingers gently released and retracted themselves from her hair, and soft panting breaths escaped the mouth of the French Alpha, who now had brilliant globes opened and focused on her bunny.

"I love you Anna. I would list all the reasons but there isn't a part of you I don't adore..." She reached down and pulled Anna on top of her, kissing her mate for but a moment before beginning to nuzzle and lick at her neck, "You're mine." She growled softly, almost feebly, as if she was scarred Anna would break, and then followed it up with a slow, careful bite into Anna's flesh, as if trying her hardest to bite as deeply as possible without leaving the mark of a mate... Having no intention of doing so until Anna was ready, and her family know. She didn't really care if her family agreed, but Clara wouldn't do anything to hurt the relationship between the woman she adored and her family.
 
Anna was a quick study, it had only taken her a few minutes of bumbling around to figure out what Clara had liked their first night together. Now that they had been officially dating for little over a month, the younger wolf had had ample time to learn exactly what would make her girlfriend whimper, what would make her cry out for more, and what would make her scream in ecstasy. “Mmm…” Anna hummed happily as more salty sweet arousal poured from her lover’s slit. Her licks became eager, the strokes of her tongue steadily increasing in speed. When she felt Clara’s thighs begin to tremble around her head, Anna knew that her lover was close. She quickly wrapped her lips around her girlfriend’s clit, drawing the swollen nub into her mouth and relentlessly flicking it with her tongue as she suckled the poor bundle of nerves. Her efforts were rewarded with a hand pulling her hair and hips greedily bucking forward for more. Anna found the rhythm, not letting Clara’s force deter her from what she was doing for even a moment. When they had first started dating, it had been hard to keep up, but now Anna was used to the rougher treatment and could handle a lot more.

“I love you too…and I can think of a couple that you don’t adore.” Anna panted out and chuckled softly. There were a few things she did that drove Clara insane, like how the Latina insisted that shoes be taken off in the house, or how she repurposed everything so that Clara ran into booby-trapped food (like how I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter ended up being full of pico de gallo, or the Balsamic Vinaigrette bottle turned out to actually be full of a very spicy homemade marinade). All the bad was outweighed by the good though, the pair quite happy with one another despite all of their little idiosyncrasies. As her lover came down from her high, Anna smiled and rested her head on a porcelain thigh, panting softly as well as she regained her breath from having her face ridden. It made her happy to just watch Clara, but that was not enough for her Alpha; Anna found herself being tugged upwards, her body quickly coming to rest in a comfortable spot ontop of Clara.

“Mmm…all yours…” Anna purred and tilted her head to the side, offering up her neck as Clara licked and nuzzled at her. When blunt teeth pressed against her skin, all Anna could do was moan. This bite stung, much more than usual, but she didn’t care. Just the knowledge that there would be a deep, possessive bite mark on her neck turned her on. Sneaking around had been fun, but being able to show off that she belonged to the sexy woman underneath her had its own perks.

----

After spending the rest of the afternoon ravishing Jade, Jackson was finally feeling tired…or maybe just hungry… They had skipped lunch in order to keep up their sex marathon and that choice was finally catching up with them. “How about we go grab some dinner?” Jackson panted from his spot next to Jade. The pair of them were sweaty and complete messes, so a quick dip in the lake was in order first. After that though, they headed off to the feast. Because this was the last night of Parekura, the best food and drink were served. All of the grudges between competitors were to be forgotten tonight, and so there were plenty of Maori performers out, the wolves being gracious enough to provide various forms of entertainment with a delicious dinner.

Jackson caught up with his family, plus Clara and Leslie, who were all seated at a table. He held Jade’s hand the entire way, not wanting to get separated from the mute wolf because he wasn’t sure that he’d be able to sniff her out again with so many scents in the air. After they had gotten their food, they took a seat next to Anna and Clara so that Jade could be with her friend and have a translator. As they sat though, Jackson noticed the dark mark on Anna’s neck and gave his sister and her girlfriend a critical glare.
 
Clara smirked as Anna poked holes in her little, 'everything', statement. Still, it wasn't far from the truth, even the parts she found annoying in some fashion became endearing when they came from Anna. The girl had become her life, the most important thing she had, and it had all happened without her noticing. One moment Anna was another fling, a sex friend even if a damn cute and smart one, and then, out of nowhere, Clara found herself hopelessly in love. Her life had changed the day she found herself down to a single woman and head over heels, and she had never found herself happier than she was with Anna by her side... Or on top of her. Even with Anna's virginity sex had never been better, and it wasn't because Anna was some genius between the sheets, even if she was a quick learner it hadn't come that far quite yet, it was the emotional attachment and love she had for her cute little bunny. She just wanted Anna to know, know that above everyone else Clara loved her, and she spun the situation around to show it, soon having Anna on her back with a mischievous look on her face. "I'm glad everyone gets to see that you're mine tonight... Because I never plan on letting you go Anna..." It was possessive but that's how the Latina made her feel, and before they went to eat dinner she was going to make her desires so very clear.

---

Jade was on her back, muscles burning and chest heaving up and down as she panted, gasping for air. Never in her life had she been with such a man, Jackson wasn't just good in bed but also had the stamina and strength to wear her out. It was new, it hurt a bit, but she fucking loved it. Nothing had been able to stop them, and Jade had worked hard enough to feel like she had worked out, her body glistening with sweat as she lay next to the other Alpha. She was starting to really understand why so many women desired the Sandalio male. How lucky she was, not only to be the one out of so many enjoying his company, but lucky that he found her athletic style attractive... And after the lengthy and active sexual marathon they had just run there was no doubt he liked her body... Oh how many ways he had made that clear. No guy had ever seemed quite as obsessed with her ass, and her sore nipples told their own story.

Now that they had stopped Jade wasn't sure whether or not to be disappointed that she wasn't about to be flipped over for another go by the skilled male, her heat being sated for the moment but still active enough to make her mind consistently switch back over to naughty thoughts, or absolutely delighted that she was getting a break... A much needed break before Jackson broke her. Still, it was the last night of Parekura, and Jade had the notion that as long as she spent it with the male that she would be happy, though she truly wasn't looking forward to it being over and returning to her slightly lonely everyday life.

After their dip in the lake Jade found herself blushing as Jackson led her to a table by the hand... A table full of his family, as well as Clara who she quickly and giddily joined, still a tad peeved about the total domination match... But the results diffused her anger enough for her to hug her friend and kiss her cheek in a sign of thanks. Clara reciprocated and smirked, "I knew you two would hit it off with a little push." She was almost smug about it, especially when she turned to see Jackson giving her the evil stare, to which she had to stop herself from laughing. Champion or not Jackson didn't scare her, and nobody would take Anna away from her... Nobody. Still, she was civil enough not to rub it in like her childish side wanted, a long kiss or nip at Anna's neck, how badly she wanted to do it, even if it was the stupid path to take.
 
Jessie and Leslie were in their own little world, the pair of them snuggled up close to one another and happily chatting as they ate. It appeared that they had finally calmed down enough to not have to frantically fuck as though they were the last two people on earth and needed to repopulate the planet…but that was mostly because Jessie’s injury made her desire innocent affection over primal sex. For all her huffing and puffing, the big bad wolf certainly turned into a needy little pup whenever she had a boo boo. Her leg would be better in a day or two though, so this wouldn’t be a prolonged change in their power dynamic.

Manuel and Eva were in a similar setup, but all of their chattering was occurring in Spanish. Parekura was like a second honeymoon for them, a chance for the old wolves to be wild and free from responsibility, if only for a week. There was nothing to worry about, the pack back home was fine and doing well, their children were all paired off with their love interests; so while they did still steal glances at their pups every once in awhile to make sure that they were okay, the old lovers were more or less wrapped up in themselves.

That left Jackson, Clara, Anna and Jade to something that almost resembled a double date….almost being the key word. Jackson was obviously not very happy that someone was marking his sister in such a way; yeah, he had done the same thing to Jade’s neck, the other female’s throat was covered in bite marks and hickeys, but that was different! He was an adult and Anna was just his naïve kid sister. So he worried about the younger girl, but his worrying had a tendency to make him look like an overprotective asshole.

Anna caught the glare that Jackson threw Clara’s way and moved to give her girlfriend a chaste kiss on the cheek. She knew that her siblings just worried about her, especially because Clara was older than her. Hell, if Jessie wasn’t behaving like a child right now, her older sister would surely be shooting daggers at Clara as well. But Anna wanted to show her big brother that she was voluntarily in this relationship; the more experienced and more powerful Alpha hadn’t bamboozled her into being her girlfriend or pressured Clara into letting her mark her neck. “Sooooo…Jade, Clara said you’re a professional fighter. Does that mean you travel a lot? Ever get to compete near us?” Figuring that the best way to get the pressure off Clara was to redirect Jackson’s attention, Anna decided to break the ice by asking a question that her brother would have a special interest in.
 
Jackson didn't seem to enjoy his little sister standing up for her girlfriend, but Clara was so happy that Anna showed some affection and make her own claim clear in the eyes of those she loved the most. She was confident Jackson and the rest of the Sandalio clan would accept her in time, she loved the wolf and was quite envious that she had a family that cared so much. Her's did as well, they were always keeping tabs, but it wasn't the same warm love, it was a colder much more buried love. In time she hoped to appease both sides, get her family to let up a bit more and get to know the woman she loved, and to have Anna's family see her as one of their own, though she was sure neither would be simple. At least Leslie was proof it was possible, her and Jessie looked happy, and Jackson hadn't given her an evil glare while Clara was around, and the older sister and her mate were all over one another.

Still, as much as Clara hoped, and could wait it out, she wasn't immune to the look and how irritating it was that anyone try and scare her away from the person she loved. Fuck that. Her bunny was... Well her's! Calm... Calm... She needed to remain nice and calm. Besides, Jade liked him and that was important, Jade was like a sister and seeing her happy was nearly as important as being happy herself. Jade seemed in rare form though, not as closed off as she might have been on a regular day, which meant she really liked him. She did seem a bit surprised when Anna decided to strike up a conversation, especially what the younger girl was getting at, or what Jade's paranoid mind was telling her the question really meant. It brought the 'out of mind' deal with the end of her and Jackson's time together right to the forefront. It wasn't a great thing to think about, she didn't really want it to end, because as short as their time had been together, Jade felt a real connection... Not to mention absolutely incredible sex.

She answered honestly though, only hesitating for a moment as she looked to Clara for help, her friend not noticing at first but quickly paying attention once she did. "She does travel a lot and mostly fights in the US so there is a possibility, but it depends on the fights she takes." She looked up and over at Jackson, "You could always watch her on television, a good number of her fights are broadcasted... And she has quite the fan base as well." It was a slight shot, to try and get Jackson to think that there were a good deal of guys watching and cheering for Jade, and there were, but she never talked to any of them, Jade was shy, and private, and a bit nuts, but Clara loved it and any guy who was worth a damn could see the good girl behind all of it. Jackson seemed to have noticed, and if he hadn't and was just messing with her Clara would have made it a point to rip him apart, despite his relation to her lover. Luckily there was no indication he was anything but in to her best friend.
 
Jackson had inherited his father's protectiveness and his mother's possessive streak; the two traits coupled together made him quite the jealous, overbearing werewolf. One day he'd be sure to mellow out like his mother had and get into fewer fights, but for now he was aggressive towards any man or woman that showed interest in his prospective mate...even the imaginary humans that Clara was alluding to. In his eyes, Jade was absolutely gorgeous and he couldn't fathom anyone not looking at her. Her ass was tantalizing enough to make him unabashedly stare. The female's thighs were nice and thick and strong, perfect for gaining leverage and putting up a fight against the larger male. And while her breast's were small, Jackson didn't care, they just further showed off his lover's athleticism while giving her a sense of femininity, plus they were nice and not too distracting so that he could enjoy those bright green eyes and dazzling smile...

Guh...Jackson was staring. He had totally lost his train of thought... Oh! Right, he was mad at Clara and the nameless faceless fans that were checking out Jade's ass while she competed in MMA fights. With a soft, possessive growl, he used his free arm to wrap around the smaller female, tugging her just a little closer to him. Then he leaned down and gave her ear an affectionate little nip. "I hope you find time in your schedule to come visit." The wolf murmured softly, not really wanting Clara or his sister hear him be mushy. Most men would just hit it and quit it after Parekura, hell, Jackson had been like that when he was younger. But now that he was a bit older and had found a woman that could keep up with him, he wanted Jade to know that he would be eagerly waiting to see her again.

"Hey, how do you two know one another anyways?" Jackson was curiously whether or not Jade was from France, without the ability to talk, he couldn't really tell. Plus he was prodding a little bit to find out if they were old lovers. Many female wolves were bisexual...which only gave a guy like Jackson a headache because he couldn't very well punch a female sniffing around what was his in the face as he would an interloping male. It would be nice if Jade was straight, that way he could worry just a little less about losing her. He knew that there were few men that could compete with him, but there were just some things that a woman could provide that he could not.

He felt a little bad having Clara play translator, but he supposed it was a good trade for him not totally being an asshole towards her. So now was a good opportunity for him to learn more about Jade...and more about Clara herself. His questions were directed towards both of them, what they liked to do in their free time, what they had gone to/ were still going to school for, just friendly questions that gave him better insight into the two new females.
 
Clara was happy that her friend had found a male who seemed so possessive of her, partially because it wasn't simply a fling in Jackson's eyes, but some males took Jade's strength to mean she didn't want that protectiveness, and she knew it was embarrassing but appreciated by her best friend. Clara did the same as well, leaning over and nuzzling at her lover's neck, Anna being the most adorable thing and the perfect way to give Jackson another taste of Clara's 'She's mine and I'm not going anywhere' attitude. The question of how they met made Clara smile and relax a bit though, looking over to her best friend with a grin, it having been too long since she messed with Jade. Well, aside from signing her up for the match, but that had been a helpful hand and nothing more. "Childhood friends. Jade and I got to know one another when we were kids, she even lived in France for a time when we were teens. She's like a sister to me."

Clara was willing to joke around with a lot but she wanted to make sure Anna knew Jade was not someone she was attracted to. Sure Jade was beautiful, and Clara liked her a lot, but it was on the level of siblings, nothing romantic at all. Still, it didn't mean she was just going to leave them alone, she had to mess with her best friend a bit, especially when the guy was her lover's brother. "Well, Jade is a licensed trainer, and she took a few courses at a college here in the states before she went pro." She looked over at Jade who was signing a few things about being interested in biology and some of her hobbies. Clara decided to go a different route and knowing her friend made it easy to bullshit what she was signing and say a few things of her own. Oh how much trouble she was going to be in the next time Jade saw a chance to humiliate her, and guh the stories her friend knew.

"As far as free time goes Jade is pretty normal. She loves exercising and anything outdoorsy, as well as sitting around in the house... But she's also in to some kinky stuff, bondage and the like. She even goes to some kinky underground clubs. I guess you could say her love for fighting and her sadist tendencies go well together." Clara took bites of her food and smiled like nothing was wrong, as if it was absolutely normal for Jade to sign something like that, and Jade looked stunned. It wasn't all untrue, Jade had shown some interest in certain kinks, and nothing had turned her on more than being forced to submit to Jackson in their domination match, but that was not what she signed! Clara was taking advantage, and she had to juggle between glaring at Clara for being a complete asshole and looking over to Jackson and hope he wasn't ready to run off. Her hands balled up after a moment of confusion, settling down just enough to start feeling angry. 'Clara! Don't fuck with me, tell him I didn't say that! Tell him!' Her hands expressed how furious she was. Clara just couldn't, at least not before she got to see how Jackson reacted, the grin on her face as she looked over at Jade not malicious, they truly were like squabbling sisters.
 
Loved to work out, was outdoorsy; Jade sounded perfect so far. Jackson exercised a lot in his free time down at the firehouse and nearly all his free time was spent outside. It was so hard to find a girl that didn't complain about bugs or freak out whenever they saw a snake...the mute wolf was definitely turning out to be a keeper, even if she lacked the ability to speak. And she was really into bondage! Wait...bondage? Jackson's mouth fell open and he just stared at Jade, shock plastered all over his face, as well as some disbelief in his eyes. Part of him couldn't help but feel like this was a trap...some crazy female scheme to make him look like a sexual deviant.

Anna tried hard to suppress her giggles as Jade obviously started to freak out and so did Jackson. She could practically see the gears in his head turning, no doubt he was trying to figure out whether or not it was safe to admit that he was a pervert. Like she didn't know that the twins were both participants in taboo activities! Jessie was much more public about her kinky side than her brother, Jackson was a very private wolf...but he was also a messy wolf that left his toys out after using them for days and days until Anna stumbled upon them when she went over to visit. "Oh, don't pretend that you're not into it too."

"How do you...?" Jackson gaped at his baby sister after she revealed his little secret.

"Saw your wrist shackle thingies partially kicked under the end table in your living room." Anna shrugged her shoulders innocently. That wasn't the only thing she had seen laying around her brother's house, but she figured that it was the least embarrassing.

Huh, so that's where those cuffs were... He thought that he had lost that one set when he had moved, nice to know he still has them. "Uh...heh... I guess maybe we can set something up sometime." Jackson looked over to Jade hopefully.
 
Clara almost lost it when Anna helped Jackson to admit he had his own bondage fantasies, and while she could see the embarrassment on Jade's face she couldn't help but find it amusing that some of what she had said peaked Jackson's interest. Luckily she got to see a nice priceless look from both of them, and her evil little bunny had helped her along. Oh how easy it was to forget Anna had her own mischievous side. What was even better was knowing that the acceptance was about to really make it funny, when she got to tell Jackson that Jade had said nothing about bondage and see the wheels turn again... Though she couldn't stop herself from leaning over and nipping at Anna with a little, "Seems like all the Sandalio's have a bit of a thing for kinky play... Interesting." Just loud enough for Jackson to hear as she kissed and nuzzled Anna, "I love you Anna." She did, which made it all the better than she actually liked the girl's family as well, even if like was currently teasing.

While they all got to know each other a bit better in the weirdest possible way, Jade just looked up at Jackson and gave an awkward smile, only for a moment before glaring over at Clara. 'You fucking tell him I didn't say that! And... That it's not exactly untrue...' Clara chuckled, always having the feeling, especially with her friends preference for strong guys with strong personalities, though Jackson was a huge step up from every other person she had ever seen by Jade's side. "Oh, by the way, she never said anything about bondage, I kind of made that up... Interesting results." She grinned, watching for yet another brilliant reaction, and as soon as she saw it she quickly added in, "But, Jade just let me know it's not untrue..." Jade grabbed Jackson's face and turned it towards her, nodding softly before giving him a gentle peck, not wanting him to get angry that Clara was being her stupid self. Goofy... She was going to pay her back.

"Oh and Jackson, be good to my kinky little friend, she's not always treated right... And I break anyone who makes her cry." It was true, a few men who had mistreated her friend had been... Punished by the French Alpha, taught a lesson they wouldn't soon forget. It was rare that Clara got angry, or used her power for selfish purposes, but people she cared about getting hurt made her instantly go for the throat. Still, after seeing the look on Jade's face, and Jackson's, she decided to throw the male a bone, because he wasn't one of the bad ones as far as she could see. "Oh and by the way, Jade's quite straight, so continue to be the best guy I've ever seen by her side and I'll give you my blessing." She grinned, still getting the final word even while being partially helpful and nice. "Oh, and remember, you're going to have to figure out something interesting, considering she won't be able to use a safe word." Clara bust out laughing, never before having imagined her friend in such a situation.
 
"Don't you even think about it!" Jackson growled, his eyes narrowing on Clara as the French Alpha rapidly appeared to be more of a threat to his baby sister than she was letting on. Yeah, the twins liked bondage, and yeah, their parents probably did too...as creepy as that was to think about...but bondage was not for Anna! She was just a kid! And bondage could be dangerous, especially if no one knew what the fuck what they were doing or were drying to imitate the crazy shit they saw in pornos. "If you so much as--"

"Jackson!" Anna growled back at her brother. She -really- loved Clara and didn't want him scaring her away like he had her previous boyfriends.

"What?!" Jackson feigned innocence, hell, he was innocent because he hadn't even gotten a chance to properly deliver his threat. And because of Anna's anger, he wasn't going to get to. He'd have to make sure he talked to Anna about this in private, let her know that bondage could be dangerous, especially when no one knew what the fuck they were doing. To him, Clara didn't read as an experienced Domme, and his sister was innocent, she'd probably be a bottom, maybe a switch at best. BDSM play for the two younger wolves just seemed like a really bad situation, one where Anna could get hurt because of Clara's inexperience. He'd have to make sure to talk to his little sister later, alone. Or maybe get Jessie to have a talk with her... His plans to arrange a pep talk with his little sister disappeared though as Clara revealed that Jade hadn't said a damn thing about bondage. All the color in Jackson's face left him at the knowledge that something very personal about himself had been revealed, something that would make a lot of girls think twice about being with him.

This was like that time Mara had asked him, 'Don't you think Sammie looks pretty tonight?' on an evening when they had double dated with the nervous assistant and her piece of shit ex-boyfriend. Knowing that Sammie was a panicky little thing, he had responded with a very honest and confidence boosting, 'Yes, she looks very beautiful.' Such an answer had turned out to be a major mistake. The rest of the evening had been spent having Mara glare at him during dinner, a shouting match when they got back to her apartment, and then really great angry sex...followed immediately after with make up sex in the shower. Women just made these damn traps for him to fall in to, elaborate plot to see what the worst of him consisted of. It wasn't fair! He had a lot of good qualities...but no one would ever find them out if all of the bad was piled on all at once. Thankfully, Jade wasn't inching away from him or running off again. Instead she grabbed his face, redirecting his deer in the headlights look away from Clara and down to her. After the kiss to the lips, he felt a little better...still on edge, but less like he was going to die of embarrassment.

"Hrrmph...I'd like to see you try." Jackson was unable to resist some male bravado to combat Clara's threat. "But...I don't think you'll ever have to do that. I'll be sure to treat her well...very well." The male growled playfully at Jade and nipped at her ear before kissing her temple. The mention of bondage and safe words made him blush a little bit. He was pretty good at reading a woman's body, but was not so cocky as to believe that safe words weren't necessary. He'd definitely have to figure out a signal for Jade...maybe she could tap on something or he could put a bell within her grasp...it would take some getting used to, but Jackson was sure that he wouldn't mind making adjustments to his life to accommodate the beautiful female.
 
Jackson's reactions were only defeated by Anna standing up to her big brother for Clara, because nothing about Anna felt more reassuring than her taking Clara's side over her families. It was one of those constant thoughts on Clara's mind, how much Anna loved her family, how odd it was to her considering her own family drama, and how much she wanted to ensure the relationship between her mate and her family stayed perfect. "Don't worry Jackson, I'd die before I let anything happen to your sister... And that is not an idle promise, I mean that." She spoke in a confident tone, eyes unwavering as she made it a point to reassure the male that his youngest sibling was with someone who valued her so dearly. To Clara, at the stage her and Anna were currently at, Anna meant more to her than anything, and her life was not an unfair price if it was needed to protect Anna. She wasn't a hero, not some insanely brave fighter or warrior, and she would never throw her life away, but if things truly came to that, Clara would protect the gorgeous woman beside her. She loved her.

"But, don't think for a minute I wouldn't. Just consider the things you would do for your sister and realize that to me, Jade is at that level... She's like my sister, closer even. Luckily though, I don't foresee needing to do anything. As much as it kills me to admit, you seem like a good guy, and anyone Anna recommends is good enough for my best friend." She leaned over and nuzzled at Anna's neck, whispering gently, "Hey so... When we have a chance later I need to talk to you love." She kissed Anna's cheek before turning back to look at Jade and Jackson, both of them seeming to be enthralled with the other. She was sad to think her friend's fling would be coming to a close soon. Maybe they could do long distance... Clara had never been a fan of the idea, but she liked seeing Jade happy, and Jackson seemed to do just that for her.

Jade's feelings bubbled over as she nuzzled the male, embarrassed but taking some comfort in the fact he was as well. Besides, as difficult as the two of them seemed to think a 'safe word' would be, to someone like Jade who lived with it the idea was much simpler, and she looked into his eyes, gave him a little wink, and then clicked her tongue nice and loud. She had a strong tongue, and she could click it well, which was not a sound she often made, an easy way to signal discomfort as long as Jackson was paying attention during sex... And assuming he wasn't busy worshiping her ass she couldn't see him missing it. As they sat there her hand drifted down, rubbing his muscular leg and grinning, all the talk of bondage bringing out the needs that had been so strong in her, her heat... And now in her head she had just the type of play to make things interesting. A little wrestling and some tying of the loser's wrists, it sent shivers down her spine.
 
Clara’s promise made Anna smile brightly. Of course she’d never let her mate put herself in any danger on her account, but the sentiment was sweet. She nibbled and nuzzled at her lover affectionately, happy to have such a wonderful woman in her life. The only thing that could ruin her mood was the whole ‘we need to talk’ thing. Such words were never good, and immediately Anna’s brain worked to figure out what the issue was. Of course she rather talk things out and be provided the opportunity to fix things rather than have Clara just up and leave her one day, but still, it made her nervous. Did Clara think that her and Jackson were fighting and her lover didn’t want to be the cause of such squabbling? Was Clara going to express feelings of hatred for her big brother? Because as big of a jerk Jackson could be, his heart was in the right place… Maybe it was to explore the topic of bondage further…they’d talked about it in passing but had never really taken the time to hammer out a real plan to implement something so kinky into their lives.

Jackson had to admire Clara’s loyalty and love for her friend. Plus it meant that the two of them could understand one another and come to a little bit of a truce, just like he had come to with Leslie. Sure, he would probably make threats every once in awhile, but it would be markedly less than if the two of them weren’t on peaceful terms. “I guess…you’re not the worst person that Anna could end up with.” It may not seem like a very good concession, but for Jackson it was a lot.

With soft nuzzles delivered to his neck, Jackson could relax a little bit and just enjoy the company of his lover. The female put him even more at ease by clicking her tongue, making a sound that was loud and odd enough that would surely grab Jackson’s attention....like she was literally doing now… “Naughty minx…” Jackson growled huskily into Jade’s ear as delicate fingers played along his muscular thigh. The only thing that was keeping him from getting rock hard from the female’s wandering hand was the fact that his family was so close. He surely wouldn’t last long though…all he could think about was how good Jade was with her hands. “Back to the tent?” It was more of an order rather than a request. His hand moved down to Jade’s rear, giving the right cheek a nice squeeze. Fuck, he loved that ass and couldn’t wait to get Jade bent over again.

When Jade and Jackson beat a hasty retreat back to their tent, Anna and Clara were left to themselves for the most part, but still weren’t in a really private venue. “Do you want to talk somewhere a little more quiet to talk?” Anna asked, a note of worry in her voice because she was still nervous about what Clara had to tell her.
 
Jade grinned up at Jackson, perhaps she was a bit of a naughty minx, but it wasn't exactly a normal state for her. In fact Jackson had brought out a few things in her, and along with being in heat it made her sex drive unreal. That along with her best friend and the dreamy stud next to her getting along made things seem perfect. Really, most guys either wanted Clara over her or found her friend's over-protectiveness infuriating. So when the tent came back up she leaned up and bit at Jackson's neck. Him giving orders was sexy as fuck and the squeeze to her ass was enough to have Jade ready to go, practically jumping up and dragging him away towards the tent. If she was lucky he would be ready for some kinkier play... Because Jade was in the mood for rough... Kinky... Dirty play. Guh, the heat was killing her usual demeanor. She wanted things from Jackson that no other guy had been allowed to do to her. Fucking heat! Impossible to control around a man like him.

---

"Not the worst huh." Clara chuckled and took it as a compliment, already grasping how difficult it was for Anna's family to accept new additions. She would wiggle her way in... Just like she did into Anna's heart. The mood took a bit of a turn when she noticed how Anna reacted to talking, not that Clara hadn't expected it but she wished she could just tell Anna it wasn't something to worry about. Unfortunately Anna was not the type to stop worrying so easily, she over-analyzed and never let something rest until she absolutely knew it was no longer a worry, and while it was adorable it also took some care at times not to drive her lover insane. "How about we slip back to the tent and we can talk. It's nothing serious, though I'll explain more when we're alone." She smiled and kissed Anna's forehead, standing up and leading the way back to the tent, following Jade and Jackson's lead. It made her a bit nervous to talk to Anna about things regarding her family, which was precisely what the conversation was going to be about, but she wanted Anna to be a serious part of her life, and as much as she hated it, her family was part of her life.

Once they arrived back at the tent Clara climbed in and pulled Anna with her, a smile on her face as she looked at the woman she loved, and the only one she had ever thought about asking what she was about to. "So before you freak out my adorable little bunny... I have something I need to as you, and it's not serious and I'm sure you may not be able to..." She took a deep breath, "I have to go back home for a bit, I'm not sure exactly how long but it could be a week or two. Maybe even longer to be honest. Some things came up with my family, they asked me to return to sort a few things out." She leaned forward and nuzzled her mate, "I would really like if you could come with me though. Maybe not the whole time if it ends up taking too long, but maybe an extended vacation? You could get to know the nosy people that are my family... See where I grew up... See some amazing sights. Only if you want to thought." She smiled, nervous that she wouldn't be able to convince Anna to come, but desperately hoping she would.
 
Anna felt relieved to know that it wasn’t anything serious, but still, she was a very curious creature and her mind still raced as she tried to figure out what Clara wanted to speak to her about. More talk about moving in? No no…that was kind of serious, wasn’t it? Maybe something involving back home…something about school? She couldn’t imagine that Clara would need any more tutoring, Anna had already helped her pass the one course that she needed for the sake of having credit. Gah! What the hell was it that couldn’t be said out in the open and needed to be talked about in the privacy of their (well, really Clara’s) tent?!

“Home? You mean France, home?” Anna’s brow furrowed at the news that her lover would be leaving her for a week or two. It was summer! And Anna only had a week before she’d have to start her summer classes! The poor little bunny began to pout, obviously not wanting Clara to leave, but of course the girl had to, so there was little more that Anna could do than sulk at the news. Her sullenness didn’t last for much longer though as Clara revealed that she would like for Anna to come with her. The younger girl brightened up, though still looked conflicted. “I want to…I just don’t know how I’d be able to afford something like that though.” Maybe her parents would pay…after all, the Sandalios were loaded, not to the degree of some of the other werewolf families, but they still had more than enough money to spare for Anna to go on a trip. While her mother and father preferred to make their children work for their own money rather than handing everything to them, they did make exceptions for certain things such as traveling. Her parents had paid for her to go to Spain and be an exchange student in high school, they paid for her to go to many of the grand werewolf events that were hosted all over the world…surely they’d help her pay for a trip to France, especially if she could assure them that she would actually be going out and exploring the city rather than staying in a room and fooling around with Clara in another country. “I’ll figure it out…I’ll pay you back for the plane ticket, promise. I do really want to come with you. Two weeks apart seems like a long time…especially because I have that summer course that’s going to eat up most of my time.”

Last night had been absolutely amazing, easily the best sex that Jackson had ever had in his entire life. It had been a long time since he had really gotten into the role of Dom, but it was easy to get back into the swing of things when his partner was behaving like a sex crazed slut all night. He had had the opportunity to do a little bit of bondage with Jade, nothing crazy, just some binding of her wrists after the pair of them had wrestled for dominance in the tiny tent. But having the female all trussed up and at his complete mercy had been a rush…too bad it would be a long time before he ever got to experience that again.

In the morning, they had to split up for a little bit after their bath. Parekura was coming to a close and it was time to pack up their things and don their street clothes. Jackson didn’t take long to break down his tent and pack his gear; an experienced outdoorsmen, such a task was child’s play for him. Shoving his leather loincloth into his backpack, he pulled out a grey graphic tee and a pair of khaki cargo shorts. A very laid back man, Jackson’s clothing choices reflected that; most of the things he wore were functional and comfortable rather than stylish. All dressed up and ready for breakfast, he went to go find Jade, not wanting to be without her as long as he could help it.

---

Saying goodbye was awful, so Jackson didn’t even utter the words as he stood near the gate for his flight with Jade. Instead he merely tugged the female close to him, leaned down and gave her a deep, passionate kiss and a roguish grin as he pulled away. “I really liked spending time with you…” The male said as he pulled out a small, folded up piece of paper from his pocket and offered it to Jade. Jackson’s handwriting was nothing but chicken scratch, but it was still legible provided the viewer spent a moment deciphering it. He had written down his Skype ID, his phone number for texting, and his address. “Any time you’re around, feel free to stop by.” Having learned that Jade was a fairly skittish thing, he didn’t want to pressure her into coming, didn’t want to make promises that he would come to her to visit (even though he gladly would). If she wanted to see him, then she could contact him whenever she was comfortable.

“I’ll see you around.” Jackson gave Jade one more parting hug and kiss before he turned out, the sorrow immediately setting in as he took a step away from the woman that he so inexplicably felt a strong connection to.
 
"Of course I mean France silly." She giggled, nipping at Anna who seemed excited about the prospect of joining her but seeming to have the same reservations about going to France as she had with moving in. Money. For Clara money was nothing, she enjoyed the freedoms it could buy someone but never much cared about having a lot of it. Well... She did like nice things, but she was not the saving type, she just did what she thought sounded pleasant with it. Not difficult when one had as much as she did, well her family. Still, it had less of an impact on her life and decisions than it did for most. She only smiled and calmed down when Anna jumped at the opportunity despite the money, saying she would pay Clara back but agreeing, or at least that was what Clara took it as. A bright smile spread across her face and she pulled Anna in, hugging her tight. "I'm so happy, I did not want to spend time apart from you so soon, and I do want to show you where I grew up and how beautiful my country is..." She nuzzled at Anna's neck, playfully nipping the flesh and then whispering, "Though there's really nothing you could pay me back for. I'm going back on my families private plane... Dealing with them will be the payment for this trip love. Sorry." She chuckled and pushed Anna down, "Now, let's get a good night's rest..." Oh she planned just the opposite.

Jade and Jackson had an incredible night, and by the next morning Jade had never felt more satisfied or exhausted, but with the downside of really not wanting to separate from Jackson. Even more so when she got to see him in his casual clothes... Damn he looked good. She on the other hand was about as tomboy as they came, jeans, sneakers, a t-shirt that was loose enough to help hide the fact that her breasts were smaller than she would like. She chewed her lower lip as they said their style of goodbye, Jade not being able to say anything and Jackson avoiding the topic of a real goodbye. Getting his contact information almost hurt, it made it real... The one guy she actually liked wasn't someone she could continue to be with, at least not easily. She could only watch him walk away, half wanting to cry before turning around and running from the fact all the way to her own plane. Why in the hell were things always so difficult. As if finding a good guy wasn't hard enough, when she did he just happened to live somewhere completely different from her. She wasn't the only one parting though, she was sure others felt the same way.

Arlann smiled across the table at Mara, the mage being dressed up a bit for once, an actual dress and heels, she looked stunning. It was their night alone, the first date they had without Sammie since they went from couple to threesome. Never once had Arlann felt like Sammie's addition was a bad thing, they had all grown quite close, but being out with the woman of her dreams, just the two of them, it was nice. What made it even more amazing was the great wine and the restaurant they were at, some fancy ass Italian place Sammie had picked out for them, the little beta taking some initiative to help them plan the night together. She was the keeping of Mara's schedule after all, without her help they would likely have been interrupted by some business or another over the course of a date they themselves set up. While they were out, Arlann already having booked a hotel, Sammie would be at their place, so for once they didn't need to worry, it was truly a night for them.

"It's been awhile since we've been out alone. I'm glad we have a night together." She reached across the table, a hand resting atop Mara's. Her thumb stroked gently over her lover's flesh and she looked deeply into the gorgeous eyes she had admired since childhood. It was the perfect chance for them to enjoy the company of one another, to talk about things they couldn't really discuss with someone else around... And for Arlann to prove to Mara that no matter how fun their little threesome relationship was, that Mara came first. She understood what being a mate entailed, she wanted to be Mara's mate, and it had always been that way. "So there's actually something I've wanted to ask you for awhile, ever since we started seeing one another..." She paused, hand still stroking Mara's, and while Arlann had a gift and some relaxing things planned for later, she really wanted to just talk a bit about them first, and before the food arrived was the perfect time. "I've always wondered what you thought of me when we were younger... I mean, you could see I was in love with you back then, right?" There was no accusation or hostility, Arlann had grown past all of that, now she was just curious, and wanting to talk and reminisce a bit with the woman who was not only her mate, but who was, and had been, her best friend.
 
As much as Mara enjoyed getting in touch with her wild roots and reconnecting with her father’s side of the family, she was happy to be home. Home meant a lavish apartment, a –real- internet connection, a comfortable bed, and an actual shower! She was so excited about the latter that she kicked Arlann out of the master bathroom just so that she could hog the quad shower headed shower. After a nice. relaxing, steamy shower, Mara felt much better after their 23-hour flight; so good in fact that she was willing to put off jumping into her e-mails and missed calls for another day, just so that she could have a nice dinner with Arlann. Of course this gave Sammie a little bit of a heart attack, her assistant had to move a couple of things around in her schedule, but once that crisis was averted, the beta proved to be quite helpful in assisting them with planning out a date night.

Most of her dresses were suitable for work, but she had a couple that were a little more risqué for dates. Mara chose a cerulean blue dress with a lacey overlay, something that made her eyes bright pop and was intricate enough in it’s design that she didn’t have to bother picking out accessories to go with it. One pair of Prada heels and a Saint Laurent clutch later, and Mara was ready to go. Her and Arlann headed downstairs where her driver was already waiting, both women dressed to kill. The young CEO was glad that they lived in and were going to a restaurant in the nice part of town. A little bit of her was feeling wild still, and she’d surely rip out some guy’s throat if he dare cat-called her or her mate.

Sammie really had recommended a lovely place; soft music, dim lighting, a wonderful menu and an extensive wine list…they’d definitely have to come back here, provided that the place’s food was just as good as it’s ambience. After they placed their orders and were poured their wine, Arlann reached over the table to hold her hand, the small gesture making Mara brighten up. She never really went on dates…not like this anyways, and it was actually really nice. “Me too. I miss being with just you sometimes… I adore Sammie, but you’re the one that I’m in love with.” Mara smiled and flipped her hand around so that she could hold Arlann’s as the mage ran her thumb along the smooth side of her hand. It had been a long time since it had been just the two of them doing anything together. Not that she minded going out with coworkers and Sammie, but she did miss the intimacy of a private night together.

“Ah…no…I didn’t. But now a lot of things make sense.” Mara blushed a little bit at her own stupidity as Arlann brought up their childhood. How had she not seen it before? “I guess…I was always just busy with other things; school, sports, dance and all that stuff… When we hung out I just…I guess I just wrote off how excited we were to see one another as feelings that were caused by how much time apart we spent.” Admitting that she was a dunce when it came to recognizing the difference between light flirting and close friendship had been the easy part. Now she had to think about what on earth she had thought of Arlann when they were kids… “I liked you…I loved you. Not in a romantic way, well, maybe, I don’t quite know...” Mara paused for a moment, collecting her thoughts. It amazed her how she could give a complex speech in a room packed with her peers without faltering, but this simple conversation was causing her immense amounts of trouble. “I wasn’t attracted to you…well, I wasn’t attracted to any women when we were kids. When I was a little older, when I went off to college, I started dating women. I’d always compare them to you though, and of course no one could ever measure up. Men were easier to be with, but I never felt quite whole with them. They were a good distraction… But after I saw you in the bar a couple of months ago, I couldn’t get you out of my head, no matter how hard I tried, I just kept thinking about you.”

Mara leaned forward and pulled their joined hands up so that she could kiss the back of Arlann’s hand, she would have liked to do more, but with the table between them that wasn’t possible. “You probably should have just jumped me when we were kids, saved me the trouble of bumbling around in my early adult years.”
 
Seeing Mara dressed up made the entire night worth it, her mate truly being one of the most attractive women she had ever met in her entire life, and the only one Arlann had ever loved. She really had loved Mara for a long time, since childhood, and it was a bit relieving that Mara hadn't realized it. Sure it meant she missed out, and that her best friend was thick as fuck, because she had given plenty of hints as to her affection, but it also meant Mara hadn't ignored her feelings on purpose. She couldn't help but smile over at her mate, and she could guess just how different their childhood was now that Mara knew... All of the nights Arlann ha whimpered and begged to sleep over, crawling into bed with her... Cuddling much further into their teens than any other friends would have. It seemed normal in a way, they were both women and best friends, but Arlann had been forward enough to do a few things past the friendship barrier, but too shy to go as far as she should have to get noticed. Arlann hadn't exactly been confident that Mara would have the same feelings when they were kids. All the cockiness... Yet her confidence for the one thing that mattered hadn't been enough.

"I wish I had jumped you when we were kids. I tried to get my feelings across, but I was a bit scared if I did something like jump you, you would have not felt the same. The last thing I wanted to do was lose you as a friend, even if it meant living with the unreciprocated attraction. Honestly, that was probably one of the things that crushed me most when you broke ties... Knowing I never got the chance to tell you how I felt. Never got to touch you, kiss you, make love." She grinned and finally released Mara's hand, leaning back and taking a long sip of her wine. "You know all of that now, you've seen it all... I shared everything with you, how much I loved you, how difficult it was for me. I will say, it was a bit of a thrill to secretly grope you when we slept together as teens though, acting like I was asleep... Guh, I was a pervert."

It wasn't like she wasn't still a pervert, and as she took another sip she tilted her head. She wanted to feel everything Mara had in their time apart. More than that should just wanted to prove once more than the woman she loved was Mara and nobody else, even if she enjoyed the company of Sammie and found their odd form of a relationship thrilling. "I'm glad the woman I fell in love with is also my best friend. I hope you know that I love you Mara. I don't care what happens, what our relationship evolves into over time, you're my mate and I know what that means. You get my everything as cheesy as that sounds, best friend and mate..." She took a deep breath and looked over as the waiter approached their table with food, hungry and ready to dig in. "I think tonight is going to be a much needed time for just the two of us Mara. I'm happy we made time."
