Chapter 15

**Katherine**

At that moment, in the middle of the forest, in communion with my wild nature, a wonderful feeling came over me. I felt free and unconcerned at the moment, which made me close my eyes and appreciate as much as I could. It was rare to have time to appreciate the best things life could offer, and so I was about to decide to stay there a little longer. But suddenly the atmosphere around me changed.

Immediately my eyes were open and my instinct was at its best. I looked around and felt that I wasn't alone, even if I didn't see him right away. In seconds, a wolf appeared out of nowhere. Holding my breath, I watched as the wolf with the shiny black fur slowly approached me. His movements were perfect and took my breath away.

I should have been scared, but incredibly, I did not feel that way. Even though I wouldn't admit it to anyone, not even myself, I had wanted this encounter for a long time. The sun warmed my skin as I lay down on the large stone next to a small lake. With one foot dangling, my toes dragged in the deliciously inviting water, I made sure the wolf male could see my entire naked body. Yes, I was naked, but I didn't mind at all. There was no one there to see me except this wolf ... and I wanted him to see me ... completely.

He stopped about ten meters away and stared at me. His eyes burned with human intelligence, but also latent lust. He didn't growl or show his teeth. He just froze for a moment. Not even his ears moved, although he did become alert, but there was no sign of any aggression at all. He was just caressing me with his gaze, sending shivers down every inch of my skin as he looked at me in detail, from my head to my toes.

Something inside me vibrated, my body heated with intense blush, the desire arose and I stood hypnotized, watching him. I didn't move, I couldn't. But I felt a brief instinct to cover myself, the shyness that came from being watched so lustfully. The wolf moved close enough to touch me, and immediately a sound came from deep inside his chest. A grunt that sounded almost like a groan of pleasure.

He nudged my shoulder with his muzzle and I gasped at the electric shock it sent through my body. His mouth opened slowly as he ran his nose along my arm and up to my neck. I froze, would he be able to bite me, mark me?

I was tense, apprehensive for a moment, not sure if I wanted him to touch me, yet I didn't move. He licked the drops of water sliding down my neck, dripping from my long, still-wet hair and I shivered. The touch of his tongue, rough and warm against my skin, made me moan.

I lifted my hand and touched the wolf for the first time, running my fingers through his silky fur, and hearing him moan as well, with the pleasure he was feeling at my touch. The moans of pleasure coming from his chest grew louder and that made me happy. Smiling, I hugged him and rubbed my face against his neck, and he returned the affectionate gesture, rubbing all over my body. Suddenly his head lifted, his ears pricked up and he slowly danced backwards, shaking his head. His movements were graceful, I might even say sensual.

A gust of wind lifted my hair, forcing me to close my eyes as the sand lifted off the ground. By the time I was able to open them, the wolf was gone. I looked around for him and sighed in frustration, I had hoped he was there to claim me. Disillusioned, I stood up and jumped into the lake. The water surrounded my bare skin, touching me like the hands of a lover. It was a fantasy I had for a long time, but never a feeling. If only Jared hadn't left, he would have touched me the way I wanted it to. The thought hit me hard and turned me on instantly.

The thought had barely taken shape when something crashed to the left of me, and I immediately felt a pair of strong hands close around my waist. I was suddenly pulled against a hard body that was warm despite the icy water that surrounded us. I held my breath and turned my head to look around. Jared was standing right in front of me. His long, wet hair was pulled back, his masculine face glistening from the drops running down his cheeks, his mouth just a millimeter from mine.

"Jared... you ...scared me !" " I stammered. Unable to speak as I saw lust overtaking me just because our bodies were naked and joined as one.

**Jared**

" Sorry!" I said with a seductive smile on my face.

**Katherine**

"I thought you left..." His yellow eyes were fixed on me, still remembering the wolf that I had been petting just a few seconds ago.

**Jared**

" Really? " I ask in disbelief. My hands caress her soft skin before my fingers brush her spine. "Do you want me to go?

**Katherine**

" No! But we are... naked." I whisper the word just to get close to his lips. In the same second, a shiver runs through my body and a moan leaves my mouth.

He looked at me lustfully and although he didn't smile, I knew he was mocking me, he could feel what was happening to my body, and he could smell how much I wanted him. I tried to keep my voice firm as I added. "It's not...wise."

**Jared**

" I know that.." I glanced at the hot woman, hungry for her kiss. My voice sounded hoarse as I got closer to her ear, and my lips began to move down to the curve of her neck. My hands slid from her back to her buttocks as I whispered. "But I want to feel you... Kat..." I scratch her skin sensuously before asking. " Can you feel me too? "

**Katherine**

"Oh yes ..." I just said, my blood boiling, my body almost exploding in an intense climax as I felt his hard member pressing against my belly. He was rubbing against me in a way that stimulated and shocked me. Even the cold water couldn't dull the tingling between my tights. I was so desperate for more of his touch. I'd never expected him to touch me like this. Without hesitation, my hands caressed his muscular arms, while my body rubbed against him as well. I was breathless, unable to believe what was happening. He usually didn't notice me and I always pulled away when there was a danger of getting too physically intimate with him. All of a sudden my voice just came out, sensual, provocative. "I feel you... completely! "

**Jared**.

"I... want you... Kat!" My mouth was drifting over hers, while my legs were keeping us both afloat.

**Katherine**

"Oh, Jared!!!" I gasped as I heard the words that came out of his mouth like a caress. As he spoke the words slowly and with determination, his lupine eyes remained fixed on me. "I want you too." Jared leaned his head closer and my lips parted instinctively in preparation for a kiss. Suddenly a buzzing sound entered the air and Jared stopped. His lips were just above mine, so close that I could taste his breath. "Jared...what's wrong?" I heard myself whisper the words as I waited for the lustful kiss. The sound grew louder and louder and I cursed as I woke from a hot dream.

"Damn... not again!" Annoyed I realized that I was dreaming with Jared. How many times would I wake up kissing my cushion? The sound, now more realistic, echoed through the house and I got up, someone was knocking on my door, but I had no idea who it was.

Damien had already left, leaving me to get some rest once again, this time just as a precaution. He had stayed for a few hours until I woke from my restorative sleep, forcing me to eat the meat he had prepared for five people. I had complained about it, even though I knew that I needed to regain my strength. I took a deep breath and analyzed the wound on my thigh, the torn flesh was almost healed, but the fatigue was still in my body from the lack of blood, even so, if someone were to look at me now, it would be as if nothing had ever happened. That made me more relaxed as I got dressed, I didn't want to show my fragility to whoever was at my front door.
