Orcas
I was just making plans, I didn't even hear her talking, what the hell?
She stutters pretty badly.
I never heard her do this before.
She must be nervous around me.
I stood up and quickly stepped between her and the door.
She stomped on my foot.
" Ouch damn it!" I felt a snarl flare up on my lip as she sparked anger in me.
I grabbed her arm and growled too.
She was treading on thin ice.
I felt my arm hairs stand on end, I felt myself turning.
My eyes were feeling all swirly like they get when I get worked up.
She wasn't even looking at me, she looked away.
" I have been teased all my life for my speech. I don't handle it too well to be mocked, and..my name is Kennedy, not Ken."
When she said this, all my anger died down instantly. I saw her then as a small child being teased, tortured by mean boys.
I took her shoulders and pulled her to me.
" I'm sorry, that wasn't how it seemed. I was actually thinking of something else when you spoke, not laughing at you, truly Kennedy."
" What were you thinking of?" She had to ask me that.
" I was thinking of you and me together in that big castle going through all the old rooms and passageways, there must be some old, vintage furniture and antiques. I was feeling excited to see it all." I lied.
She looked up at me and nodded. "Then you will come with me?" She asked.
I didn't even have to talk her into it. It was like her idea.
I smelled her unique scent as I held her.
I leaned my head down to kiss her, poor girl.
She grabbed my face and kissed me, hard. Again I wasn't expecting this from one such as her, innocent...virginal.
" Mmmm"...she was moaning now, no actually that was me.
I felt kind of dizzy, like she was sucking my power from me somehow. I felt my knees wobble a bit too.
Her lips were made for kissing. It was very nice. I needed to remember who I was. I'm Howdy junior, not that...mmmm...nice. How? Howle, yes I'm Howle.
I'm a powerful Lycan male that scares little red heads, making them run and scream. That's me. There I remembered.
" Howle, I am not very good at this, but it feels right, do you feel it too?"
I slowly nodded.
I was all weak again, lost in her kisses. I don't get kissed, I'm the kisser.
She did something then that brought me to my knees. She whispered to me. "You are a good boy, a very good boy."
I actually fell to the ground then. It was like 5 little words that slayed me.
My mother would tell me this as a boy. My father hated her for it.
He would beat her when he heard it. My father was a very powerful Alpha. He was feared by all of my clan. Mostly by me.
But momma would tell me my true nature. " You are a good boy."
" Are you okay?" She asked me now, as if I could speak.
Kennedy is like my mother.
That's what she is, a lovely lady, like my mother was before he totally destroyed her.
My father drove her to an untimely death.
I would kill him, but he is just an old drunk now, he regretted what he did to my mother, but it was way too late.
My poor mother died of a broken heart. Everyone knew it.
Men should never treat their wives so poorly.
I vowed that when I found my true mate, I would be loving, kind, a good boy to her.
I am becoming overly devoted to this human girl with the red hair.
She can never be my true mate. But I can stay with her a while, see if she can be useful to the clan by giving back the family jewels, the crest. She might be mad if she ever finds out my true motives.
I am too emotional when the moon starts to rise. Tonight I will hunt those that killed my Serena.
I will chase any of them down and rip them apart. Tonight is a good night to kill a vampire.
*******
Kennedy.
I never kissed a man like that before. He was overwhelmingly responsive. I just fell into it naturally. Strange, when I really have no experience at this sort of thing. I mean...I'm a nobody.
I never thought I'd be here in Scotland living this kind of romantic life.
I feel something happening to me, deep inside. I grabbed myself around my waist and held myself.
I closed my eyes when I kissed him.
I felt somehow compelled to tell him that he is good. Very good. I don't know if men like to hear this or not. But here goes..."You are a good boy, a very good boy."
I saw him drop to his knees, he was holding his heart.
I thought he might have realized that I had bad breath at first, maybe I made him repulsed by my tongue in his mouth. I guess it's gross. But it felt natural.
I bit my fingernail waiting for him to speak.
He finally did. He said,"Mother."
So...kissing me is like kissing your mother, I thought...damn. I am that bad.
I started to panick, I had to get the heck out of there. I kind of stumbled back. I put my hands into my hair, something I did as a child when I was nervous.
I twisted my curls around my fingers.
I turned to run away.
He was very fast, I didn't even see him stand up, let alone grab me by my waist. He pulled me towards him and said, "No, you need to stay now."
Crap, this felt like a Ted Bundy type of sitch.
I shook my head. "Well, I just need to go get my pills, you know can't have s*x without them."
Damn why did I say that, I should have said for my STD.
Orcas smiled.
He had this creepy look on his face, he squeezed my ribs with his arms.
I was feeling suffocated.
He squeezed me too tight. It grew very uncomfortable. I was feeling crushed by him.
" Baby, now you should let go just a little, you know I need to have air in my lungs, not much ...but just a little. That's it...you got it. I will take a breath now." I breathed in and out real slow. I felt him relax against me.
My natural instinct was that my life was in danger, but since I decided I didn't really care that much about my life right now, or did I decide that. I couldn't think.
I let out a very tiny involuntary whimper. I didn't mean too, but my ribs were on fire from his arm around me.
He suddenly let me go. I fell to the floor, panting for air.
" Sorry." He said as he looked at me from above. His brown eyes looked all swirly again.
I smiled awkwardly.
The look on his face was like he wanted to hurt me. But then he changed, just like that.
Now, I am not so stupid that I would think that this was normal after kissing one such as me, a total novice.
In fact it felt very wrong.
This man could be extremely dangerous. I should be leary. I should run like hell.
I should...shouldn't I?
He helped me up and turned me towards him.
" I want you. Like a man wants a woman. I think you want me too right?" He nodded at me.
I think I was shaking my head no. But then he took his hand and pushed my head up and down.
" Orcas, I hhh..have nev..never been wwww...with a m..ma..man."
Damn, I shut my mouth, vowing not to say another f*cking word.
He pet my head. Like a dog or cat. Maybe a kitten.
He said," I am not just a man red."
Yikes!
