His mind was pushing against her's, a dull thud starting in her ears and thumping rhythmically. Ari gladly left his mind and forced herself to tear away from the old stag's as well. There was nothing she could do to help him pass, but she trusted Shade would do it quickly. Turning away, Ari leaned ...

Good, she answered, using her mind now that they were nearing the deer, me neither. As he gave himself one last bit of werewolf anatomy, Ari could not help but cringe. Feeling the popping and cracking of his bones was hard enough, but this last one she swore she even heard. Ari winced for him, her ...

His words hardly soothed her. If he was so at ease with her accidental groping, what sort of man did that make him? "I am not a young one." she said aloud, face still a shade or two pinker than normal. "Surely I am not much younger than you. I have seen most of the world already. How can I be young ...

The sickly sweet smell of the sugary sweets filled Ari's nose on entering the bakery. As the shop keeper grinned at them, enticing them to try what they liked, Ari glanced at the display in front of them. Treats of all colors, shapes, and sizes sat behind the glass display. Even though the shop was ...

The man did not seem upset at all by the accidental grope, which somewhat surprised the already shocked girl. As she stood there in the darkness, fists clenching and unclenching to try to stop her handing from shaking, Ari did her best to thrust away the images that were flying through her head like ...

It seemed as if they were already off on another adventure, hardly a good idea when half of their party was stumbling on the wobbly legs of drunks. Ari was even starting to feel a bit woozy, though her drinks had not been half as strong or as voluminous as those of the other two girls. She took ...

She hesitantly took the coat from him and put it back on. "Okay... as long as I won't be too heavy," she answered. She waited a moment and the silence stretched before them. Has he shifted? Yes... He must have. He is in a hurry, she told herself. Ari reached her hand out in front of her, feeling ...

This was not good. Not good at all. The calm, smooth guard had suddenly turned into a rough, lusty man boasting sexual prowess. Ari could feel her cheeks flaming at his words, "fucking" and "rutting." What the hell kind of women did he think they were? Well... at least herself. She could not speak ...

It was hard not to imagine just what sort of streak he meant, but Ari did her best not to, though she could not help the nervous chuckle which left her, successfully making the situation even more awkward by echoing off of the cave walls. She could not help herself, though. A naked man, sitting a ...

Ari did not need to ask to know what had happened. She remembered the panic she had sensed in his mind just before she had blacked out. That combined with the absence of the guard made it easy to figure out what had happened to the pig of a man, and she was not the least bit upset about it.

She ...

"Farius Masello," she repeated, letting her lips curve into the slightest of smiles. The name really did roll off the tongue. Smooth looks, smooth talker, and a smooth name. This one was dangerous. She knew she would be fine, and Ardys would probably be too (unless she was looking for trouble ...

"Well, actually it is Arisynn, but very few call me that. So yes, Ari for short," she added. "It is lovely to meet you too." She did not dare extend a hand, though still smiled nervously, as if he could see it. Her shy smile turned into a grin when he spoke again. "I am hardly a scammer. Perhaps ...

Though his body had changed, his voice still held the roughness of the beast he had been. Ari squinted in the dark, trying to make out his shape, but there was nothing. She could not even see where her own hand was touching his warm, bare skin... She drew her hand away quickly at the realization of ...

There was something not right about the man. His wandering eyes made her shiver. Guards were not to be trusted, no matter how good-looking or smooth-talking. And now this one was offering to buy three trouble-making women drinks? Something was definitely up. Ari watched the many skeptically as he ...

Great. Things had been fine when everything had been fun and games. Ari was still trying to suppress her laughter as she thought of the whole situation. Three drunk women stumble into a jewelry store. How much more fun could things get? But now, they had problems. Ari peered up at the guard, fists ...
