Falling for Lycans

Ch.5

Shelby has been trying not to think about Drew kissing her the other night but it has been hard. Drew has gone back to acting like his old self. Shelby opened her laptop and sat down at her desk. She started typing and was getting into it when her phone went off. She looked over to see Bryson's name on her notifications. She stopped what she was doing and picked up her phone. She opened the text and blushed at what he sent her.

Bryson: [Hey pretty lady! Sorry I haven't hit on you the past couple of days. I have been out of town for work. I just got home and figured you needed the Big Bad Wolf to make you blush and make you soak through your panties. ;) Hope to hear back from you soon. Until then I'll just have to keep thinking about you bent over my tailgate. :*]

Shelby clenched her thighs together and bit her bottom lip. She got bold and texted Bryson back.

[I was beginning to think the Big Bad Wolf was just a puppy and couldn't handle my dark side. Glad to see he isn't a pup. About to go shower. My body could use some hot water running over it after my play session. Don't think too hard. You may hurt yourself.]

Shelby sat back in her chair. Her heart was racing and she felt like she was about to have an anxiety attack. She didn't know what came over her to give her the confidence to text him back like that. She waited a few minutes to see if he would reply before getting back to work on her chapter. Just as she was sitting up, she got another text from him.

Bryson: [Damn, Damn, Damnnn! Didn't expect that. Mm. Mm. Mm. I'm hurting right now just thinking about all the things I could do to you..]

Shelby's face turned red at the thought of her being with him. She fanned herself for a moment and gathered her thoughts before replying.

[My toys and fingers work just fine. ]

Bryson: [Oh F**u**c**k. You're killing me, pretty lady.]

[I told you not to think too hard. Goodnight and sweet dreams Big Bad Wolf.]

[Oh, trust me they will be sweet. Probably not as sweet as I imagine you taste but sweet. Goodnight pretty lady :*]

Shelby put her phone back on her desk and finished her chapter. She turned her laptop off and went to take a shower. When she got out, she put on her pajamas and went to make herself a snack. Drew still hadn't come home so she decided to just go watch TV in her room. As she was turning the kitchen light off, she noticed movement out back. She looked out the window and saw what looked like bright green eyes looking back at her. She shrugged it off because it wasn't uncommon for wolves and other animals to wander through the backyard. She turned the light off and went to her room. The sound of her alarm woke her up. She grabbed her phone to turn it off when she noticed she had a text from Bryson. She sat up and opened the text.

[Good Morning pretty lady. Just a little something to brighten your day.]

He sent her a picture. He was laying in bed, shirtless and she could see down to his hips before the cover blocked anything else. "Holy F**u**c**k!" she yelled out. Drew came running into her room.

"Shelbs, are you ok? What happened?"

"I'm fine Drewy. Just saw something yummy."

"Yummy? What in the hell was so yummy that you yelled out Holy F**u**c**k?"

Shelby turned the phone around and showed Drew the picture.

"Holy F**u**c**k!"

"Yeah. That's what was so yummy."

"Shelbs, I'm dead ass. If you don't get that god into your bed soon, I am going to work my magic on him."

"Have at it, Drewy."

"You need to get laid and I will pay you my whole check to let him do it."

"Drew! I am not a street worker!"

"I didn't say you were but seriously I would pay you to f**u**c**k him."

Shelby threw her pillow at Drew and she laid back down. Drew crawled up in her bed next to her and put his arm over her. Shelby tensed but relaxed when he asked what her plans were for the day. She told him she had to go get some new undergarments and she needed to find a dress for the party the publishing company was throwing.

"So, do you have a date yet?"

"No. I don't have a date. I didn't want to ask you because of the new clients you just picked up and I wasn't sure if you would be into going."

"Shelbs, really? You are my girl and I would go with you if you wanted me to."

"I don't want you to go and end up bored out of your mind."

"I'm sure there will be plenty of hotties to entertain me."

"Fine. Will you be my date?"

"Let me think about it."

"Ugh. you ass!"

"I'm there babez."

"Thank you, now get out of my bed, you smell like a man-whore."

"Awe, thanks babez!"

Drew got up and walked toward the door. He stopped and turned to her. She stood up and stretched and he could see she wasn't wearing a bra. He shook his head and walked out of her room. After Shelby got up and got dressed, She headed out to get the things she needed. While in the store, She looked around at all the sexy bras and panties. She picked up a pair and looked at them. The saleswoman walked up and asked if she needed help finding anything in particular. She told her no and said she was just browsing. Shelby found a bra and panty set that she liked and she grabbed her size. She checked out and headed to the dress shop next door. She looked around but didn't see anything she liked so she headed home. Drew was making himself lunch when she walked in the door.

"Find anything?"

"No. Nothing caught my eye."

"What's in the bag?"

"My undergarments, Drewy."

"Oooooo. I want to see."

"Nope. For my eyes only."

"Aw, you are no fun, babez."

"I'm going to throw my new stuff in the washer. Will you make me a salad?"

"Of course, I will."

Shelby headed into the laundry room and started the washer. After she threw her new undergarments in, she went and sat on the couch with Drew and ate her salad. When they finished their lunch, Drew laid back on the couch and pulled Shelby back on him. He asked what she wanted to watch and she told him whatever he wanted. He found a movie the two of them had wanted to watch. They lay there until the movie was over. Shelby stood up and walked into the kitchen. Drew yelled out that she got a text and she asked him to see who it was from. He unlocked her phone and opened the message.

Big Bad Wolf: [Hey pretty lady, hope that pic made your day? I am going to be over in the area and thought maybe you would want to grab a bite to eat? I could swing by and pick you up.]

"Awe, the Big Bad Wolf wants to know if his pic made your day and he also wants to know if you want to go get something to eat."

"He asked me out on a date?"

"Well, not really asking you out but yeah pretty much. I'll tell him to go away."

"DREW! Don't you even think about it!"

"I'm just playing Shelbs. I'll tell him you are free to grab a bite to eat."

"DREW!"

Shelby ran from the kitchen and tried to take her phone from him. She struggled and ended up getting pinned under him. She stopped fighting and just started up at him. Drew smirked at her.

"It's either yes or no, Shelbs. I'm sure he is waiting for an answer."

"Fine. Tell him yes."

[That sounds good. Let me know when you are here and I'll come out.]

Big Bad Wolf: [Will do, pretty lady.]

"I so want the detz on this date!"

"It's not a date Drewy. It's grabbing food."

"Whatever you say, my love."

"Uh, Drewy, you, Um. You. Your."

She couldn't get the word out so she pointed. When Drew looked down at where she was pointing, he jumped up and turned around.

"I'm sorry Shelbs."

"It's ok."

"No, it's not. I've pinned you down plenty of times like that and that has never happened."

Shelby turned him around and he looked away.

"Drew, look at me."

"I can't."

"Oh, for the love of goddess, look at me, Drew."

Drew looked at her and she put her hand on his shoulder.

"Drewy, you didn't want things to be weird between us and I am doing a better job at not making it, than you are. I walked in on you, you kissed me and then heard me in my room. This isn't a big deal. I get it. You find me attractive."

"I'm sorry, Shelbs. I'm not trying to make it weird but I've not been myself and I am trying not to scare my best friend off."

"Never going to happen, Drewy. I'm sorry but you are stuck with me for the rest of your life."

Drew pulled Shelby into a hug and when she pulled back, She smirked at him and told him to go take care of it. When Drew came back out of his room, Shelby was dressed and ready to go. He told her to enjoy herself and to have as much fun as she wanted. Shelby got a text from Bryson letting her know that he was outside. She kissed Drew on the cheek and walked out the door. Bryson was standing next to his truck and opened the door for her.

"Hey, pretty lady."

"Hey, Big Bad Wolf."

"What are you in the mood for?"

"Um. I don't know. I had a small salad for lunch a couple of hours ago and I'm not starving yet."

"Hm. How about we go for wings? You can get as many as you feel you can eat."

"Ok. Sounds good to me."

They headed to a wing place Bryson liked and ordered. Shelby ended up ordering a twenty-piece half lemon pepper and half mild. Bryson got a fifty-piece all-barbeque. Bryson asked Shelby a few questions trying to get to know a little more about her while they sat and ate.

"So where are you from, Shelby?"

"I was born and raised here."

"Any siblings?"

"Nope. I'm an only child."

"Parents still alive?"

"Yep. We don't talk as much as we should but they are busy people and their jobs demand ninety-nine percent of their attention."

"Oh. What do they do?"

"Well, my mom is a nurse and my dad is a graphic designer."

"Oh. Sounds like two pretty awesome jobs."

"Yeah. I used to think so but the older I got, the more of a headache their jobs became."

"What do you mean?"

"Well, growing up, I had a life with school activities but by my freshman year, I gave up on all of it because it was depressing being the only kid on the team and in the clubs whose parents never showed up. I got tired of being talked about so I dropped all activities and started acting out."

"What do mean acting out? The woman before me is shy."

"I mean partying with friends and I became sexually active at 17."

"When did you and Tiger meet?"

"Drew and I have been friends since we were 17. I got wasted at a party and 3 guys were trying to take me into the bedroom to do goddess knows what to me, when Drew stepped in and saved me."

"Tiger rescued the damsel in distress?"

"Yeah. He knew the guys and told them I was with him and to leave me alone. Since that night, we have been inseparable."

"So have you and tiger ever?"

"What? No."

"Sorry. I was just curious."

"Drew and I have always been close but we have never been together like that. He kissed me but that's the only physical contact we've had other than playing around and wrestling."

"Wrestling?"

"Yeah. Drew likes to take things from me and I have to fight to get whatever it was back from him. He always wins though. I end up pinned under him and can't move."

"Hmm. I'd like to look down and see you pinned under me."

Shelby blushed and took a sip of her drink before grabbing another wing. Bryson sat there watching her. He liked seeing her cheeks turn pink and her fidget after he said something dirty.

"So Bryson, What about you?"

"Well, I was born here but was placed with a foster family 3 hours south of here who knew my mom, when my mom was murdered right after I was born."

"I am so sorry to hear that."

"Thank you. From what my foster parents told me about her, She was an amazing person. I've seen pictures of her and she was also beautiful."

"What about your dad?"

"I have no clue who he is or what he looks like. All my foster parents told me was, that he was a monster and had the power to take down anyone."

"Do you know if he is still alive?"

"As far as I know, the same people who killed my mom, killed him as well. He was the reason my mom was murdered."

"I am so sorry Bryson."

Shelby reached across the table and grabbed his hand and he smiled at her. It was hard for him not to tell her the whole truth about how he was a Lycan wolf and his father was an Alpha who turned his mother right before she got pregnant and that while she was out hunting one night, she went into labor with him and was caught shifting by local humans and he was born in a building with his mother chained to the wall. The locals knew his mom and because he was born in human form, they assumed he was fully human and gave him to friends of his mother. He also found it hard not to tell her that he was the wolf she saw in her backyard. After they finished eating, Bryson asked her if she wanted to go sit and talk. She nodded and they drove to the park. Bryson opened the door for her. They walked down to the bridge that was over a nice little creek and sat down on the bench. He asked her about her books and what made her get into writing.

"Well, I have 5 books out and as you know I am working on another. I have always been into werewolves and romance books so I ended up putting the two together."

"What started the dark romance?"

"Honestly, it was what happened the night I met Drew. I got the idea at 17 but didn't write my first book until I was 18."

"Is he in any of your books?"

"My first book. He was the hero of the book."

"I get it. He rescued you that night so you made him the hero of the book."

"Yeah."

They talked for a little while longer before Bryson took her home.
