New Bonds

~West

“West,” called Keith.

I glanced over at the door from the makeshift bed in the tub.

“West, I need to take a shower.”

“Use the other,” I snapped.

“West,” he laughed. “My clothes are in there.”

I sunk down into the bottom of the tub.

“I’m not going to jump you.” He tapped his fingers on the door. “I wonder if this is how sub usual reacted on their mating night.”

I jumped up and unlocked the door. Flinging it open, I marched past him to the bed. “There.”

Keith leaned against the doorframe.

“Go get dressed,” I muttered, keeping my eyes down.

“Thought you were used to naked men.”

I glared at him. “This isn’t the same,” I hissed.

Shaking his head, Keith went into the bathroom, and the shower started soon after. I laid down on my side and examined my hand. I really didn’t want Boss to stick me with his claw again, but I just couldn’t do that. Groaning, I pulled at my hair.

The shower turned off a few moments later. I sat up and saw Keith grabbed a towel from the pile on the floor.

“Do you mind putting the rest away?” He walked into the closet.

I shuffled into the bathroom and gathered up the towels. After they were placed back under the sink, I swung the cabinet doors closed. Keith walked up behind me, with pants on at least.

“Was it that shocking?” He kissed my neck and slipped down to my engagement bite. His hands rested on my hips.

“I’m not a sub,” I muttered.

Keith spun me around and lifted me onto the counter. “I know that. We’d be mated already is you were.” He stood between my legs, wrapping his arms around my lower back.

“Look Keith,” I sucked in my lips. “I know we have to do this, but this is a lot for me. I’m not gay.” I rubbed my face. “Bi maybe.” I peered to the side.

Keith leaned forward and kissed my cheek.

“I didn’t grow up dream of this kind of thing. I didn’t experiment with, with that. Hell before all this, I’d never thought that, that someone would be, you know.” Groaning, I rubbed my forehead. “It wasn’t really made for things to go in the other way,” I exclaimed.

He hugged me to him. “West, it will hurt a bit the first go around, but it does get easier.”

“Having to do it with you doesn’t help.” I rest my head on his shoulder.

Jerking back, he narrowed his eyes at me. “What are saying?”

Putting my arms behind me, I braced myself on them. “Don’t be modest, Keith. I’m not in the mood to boost your ego.”

He pulled me back into his arms. “I only have to work a couple hours today, so if you promise to not go outside the apartment, I’ll let you stay here.”

“‘kay.”

“But when I come back, we make this permanent.” He pointed to my scar.

My shoulders dropped.

“Alright?” He lifted my chin.

I nodded. “Fine.”

“Take a long bath, while I’m gone. It’ll help you relax. If you get hungry, just look through the fridge. There should be something in there you’ll like.”

“‘kay.”

With a smile, he kissed me. I pushed into him, deepening it.

“I’d say you’re bi.” He placed a peck on my cheek before going back into the closet to finish getting dressed.

I gripped the counter. “Maybe,” I whispered. Jumping off the counter, I went to the tub and started filling it. I sat on the edge with my leg dangling over the side.

Keith stood over me and dropped something into the water.

It started to bubble.

“What the hell?” I swung my leg out. “What is that?”

“It’s supposed to help with relaxation.” He placed the box on the toilet seat. “There’s two more in there.”

He left the room, and cabinets being opened and close could be heard soon after. I slipped my foot back into the water. The pink and blue ball at the sitting on the bottom was still exploding. It spelt good though, very soothing and light.

I eased myself into the tub and picked up the ball. It continued to dissolve in my hand.

“Weird.” I tossed it back in the water and leaned back.

“Be back soon, West.”

“‘kay,” I called back. “Take your time,” I whispered, sinking into the water.

I sat there until my skin started to get wrinkly. The water was starting to cool. I wasn’t relaxed at all though. Flipping down the drain, I started adding more hot water. I snatched another bath fuzzy thing and tossed it in as well. I ended up putting the drain halfway up, so I could keep the water on. It sounded like a waterfall and made the room not so quiet.

After the second ball had dissolved, I used the last one. It would be nice to have a pine scent one. Stretching out, I shifted to my werewolf form. I brushed my hands through my fur. Closing my eyes, I tried to imagine I was at a hot pool, out in the northern mountain ranges, during a cool winter day. That would be amazing.

I walked out of the cave and stretched out. Last night was much better than the one before. The wolf pack were all still snuggled together inside. I missed cuddling up to my mate to stay warm. I laid down on my stomach. One day, I’d get back to Ranger.

A human’s scent hit in my nose. I lifted my head and saw the woman from before watching me. I rose to my paws and wandered toward her. She hurried back to her truck. I jogged after her and sat down a few feet away from the vehicle. The window rolled down and she smiled at me.

“My snow prince has already made friends.” She sighed. “Don’t worry, I’m not going to let them ship you off.”

My ears perked up as my tailed swished from side to side.

She glanced at the seat next to her. “Are you hungry?” The woman opened the lid on a plastic container.

The smell of fresh meat hit my nose. I jumped up and yapped at her.

“Thought so,” she tossed a cut of meat down to me.

I quickly ate it and waited for more. I could smell it, I knew she had it.

“It’s supposed to be for the mountain lion cubs.”

I whined and tilted my head to the side.

“Alright,” she lifted the bin to the window. “You’re looking a bit on the skinny side anyways.” She started to toss the meat down to me.

They taste amazing compared to the factory mush. It had been so long since I had fresh stakes. She finished giving me the container. I sat down by her door and looked up at her with big eyes.

“You are a naughty thing,” she teased. “That’s all for today. You’ll be fed with the other wolves later, now go on.” She shooed me. “Go on.” She started up the engine.

I turned tail and wandered back to the cave. Glancing back, I saw the truck start down the dirt road. The wolves were awake when I returned. They licked at the remaining blood on the muzzle.

The water moved around me. I opened my eyes and saw Keith slipped into the tub at my side.

“What are you doing?” I shifted to make room for him. The tub was large, but I was still surprised it fit us both.

Keith turned off the water. “Shift.”

I did so and remained still as he moved on top of me.

He smiled and laughed. “You’re all pruny.”

I shrugged. “You’re lucky I didn’t drown.”

Pushing back my hair from my forehead, he kissed my cheek. “No more naps in the tub.”

I yawned, nodding.

Keith settled down between my legs. I was fully awake now.

“I’m going to touch you,” he whispered in my ear. “Just relax. I warn you before I go any further.”

I settled back in the water as the man ran his hand down my side. He sucked and kissed at my scar.

I jumped, splashing some water onto the floor.

“Relax,” he whispered in a deep voice. “I’ll make you feel good. I promise.”
