8. Primal Instinct

Jack

Bertha had said that I had frightened Doreen, and that she had the urge to leave our little town. Yet, I was glad that she had decided to keep her job, and stay here a little longer.

Not that she could have gone far anyway, because her car can’t be fixed. The owner of the garage had said so to Vic, when he was having a beer at the bar. It was almost like her car wanted her to stay here too.

I just wanted to make sure that she was safely at her room again, after the event at the bar. But an unknown confusion arose, when I had stepped into the entrance hall of my sister’s motel.

A smell so sweet, so delicious, so alluring, had pulled me up the stairs, and had dragged me in front of her room.

It was never my plan to walk upstairs, to stand in front of her door, or even knock on it, but here I stood.

I couldn’t understand, what it was that made me smell her scent, only at this moment. Why hadn’t I caught it earlier? What was different at this moment, compared to the other moments that I had seen her?

I had been annoyed by my attraction to her during the day, in fact, I couldn’t shut up about her, towards my sister. Ever since I had stepped into the diner, that morning when she was there, she had intrigued me in a weird way. A way that made me want to know more about her, yet I couldn’t place it why her being had been tormenting me.

But it was clear to me now, as if a curtain had lifted, showing me the truth of what my heart knew already, as here she stood, barely clothed, barely breathing and her eyes wide.

Her black hair was tied in a loose braid, and most locks of her hair, hung down by her face. Much better, than the tight ponytail I had seen her with, during the day.

I could barely contain my own urges, to grab her by the waist, push her onto the bed, and have my way with her.

Her nipples would be sucked by my lips, her throat would let out heavy moans, her back would arch underneath my touches. More and more ideas and fantasies came soaring into my mind, along with the need to find out what her body prefers under my thorough research.

She was talking to me, but I couldn’t fathom what she was saying. My mind was solely focused on her scent and body. There where the thin silk, was not hiding the nipples of her small yet perky breasts. Fuck, she is not making this easy!

“Jack?” She said clearly now.

I shook my head and looked her in the eyes. Was she frightened again?

“I’m sorry.” I said, and it took all of my willpower to step back and walk away.

I can’t do this to her. She doesn’t know about shifters and she is way too fragile to embrace me. It’s not meant to be condescending towards her, but she is too thin. If I would try and have sex with her, she would bruise and break, and not because I would want that to happen, but because I wouldn’t be able to control my own strength.

Suddenly, I felt her hand on my shoulder, and I turned around quickly.

She gasped from my movement, as now she was lodged between me and the wall, where I had put my hands against it, right next to her head.

“You shouldn’t have done that.” I whispered to her, barely containing my own primal urge to take her right here.

“Why? What have I done wrong?” She asked with red cheeks.

Shit! She is getting aroused by my presence! Not only her nipples hardened by the closeness of us now, but I can smell her honey, almost dripping between her thighs too. She is sensing the bond too, as that what it is that is making her body act like this.

No sane human woman would have walked out of the safety of her room, to follow and touch a rabid animal while it was enraged to the fullest! Not that she knew why, but I knew that I was like this, as I wanted to sexually rampage through her body!

My throbbing member was pushing against the inside of my pants, so I slightly moved myself, hoping that the feeling would dissipate. Of course not, it probably only made it worse.

I chuckled by her question.

“Wrong? You haven’t done anything wrong, that’s the problem here. You are so innocent, beyond your own understanding, that you can’t even see that it’s taking all of my strength to not claim you, right here, right now.” I growled to her. Fuck I growled!

Her eyes shot open wide, by my statement, or my sounds, I’m not sure.

“Cl-claim, me?” She asked me frightened now, as her heartbeat jumped a few beats.

“Yes, stop fearing me, I won’t hurt you. In fact, I won’t do anything to you. Get back into your room!” I deliberately growled louder now, meant to make her frightened, to scare her away from me, even though I said that she didn’t need to be afraid.

She isn’t good for either of us, or my way of life. Her knowing about us would endanger our kind, and she could end up hurt, or worse.

But even though I had growled to her, she no longer looked afraid. Instead, she just looked at me, and then let her eyes drift down my body. Bold move girl!

“No, and I’m not.” She said with the softest voice I have ever heard.

“What did you say?” I asked her, whispering in her ear, just to confirm what she is truly meaning.

“I’m not afraid, not anymore.” She repeated herself, a little louder now, while looking me straight in the eyes.

I leaned forward with my head, leaning my forehead against hers, and closed my eyes. Her arousal flared up even more upon our touch, and I grunted from the alluring scent her body gave off.

“You should be.” I whispered while trying to get my mind off of her scent.

“Yes, I know. I don’t know the why, and I know I should be afraid, but I just simply am not.” She said, while boldly putting her hands on my chest.

Her touch invigorated my primal instincts even further, which made it even more difficult to withstand the need to not take advantage of her body right now. It is normal within our kind that when mates find each other, they almost always seal their bond immediately by mating with each other. But since she is human, a tiny one even, as the top of her head would only reach up to my chest, I couldn’t let her know that she is mine.

Because that is what she is, as from the moment that I had caught her scent, how odd it may have been that I hadn’t had caught it earlier, I knew it was true.

I had to fight the urge to not shout out that I have found my mate, to tell her everything about shifters and me being the leader of them. It would be too much for her to handle both mentally as well as physically.

“I can’t control myself much longer, Doreen. You really have to get back into your room.” I said, while I could feel my fur break the skin on my back.

My fingers wanted to shift into claws, so I curled them into fists and pushed them against the wall. I could smell my own blood, as I perforated my own skin. And saliva filled my mouth, as the scent from her bodily fluids, swirled up into my nose as well.

“Alright.” She whispered.

While breathing heavy, still with my forehead against hers, I could feel her move away from me. I could hear her steps, slowly, agonizing me to open my eyes and to take her back with me, in my arms.

I didn’t want to leave her, but she doesn’t deserve love from a rabid creature.

Who knows what she has been through already? Or why she doesn’t want to give her full name to me. It was either to protect herself, or to think that I needed protection from whatever she has been fleeing from. Because I don’t believe she is dangerous herself.

No matter what the reason is, she doesn’t need any more trouble. Not from me, or any shifter in this town.

I took a few deep breathes and straightened my back as soon as I heard her door fall in the lock.

“Vic, you were right. I don’t know how, but she is the one.” I linked her.

“Told you.” She replied smirking. Of course, she would have known.

I need to take a jump in the lake, because my hard-on won’t disappear on its own...

Doreen

I let my body slide down, with my back against the door.

What the hell did just happen? This has never happened to me before!

My body was shaking from the things that had just occurred. His closeness had made me horny as a burning fire, with no dousing water within miles to find!

My mind was reeling with thoughts, thinking about all sorts of things. sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FindNøvᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

I know I have been afraid of him, earlier this evening. But now that Bertha has been telling me that I should give him a second chance, and the fact that I could see him using up every inch of power to not pursue any, probably pleasurable, endeavours that he wanted to unleash upon me, it made me turn my emotion.

But there was something else as well, that made me no longer frightened.

Call it naivety, paranormal, natural, or just primal... but his appearance, his voice, his... I don’t know how I even sensed it, but his smell...
