Sapphire: A Werewolf Love Story by Devyn Dawson Read Free Book Online Page B

she
talks about the cat. 
    “I saw a cat last night when we got here.  He was in
the garage when I was getting my bag out of the trunk.”
    “Oh yeah?  He has a little door to come and go as he
pleases in both sides of the house.  I bet he got himself locked in the
garage.  I always set the door to not let him in, but I think I do it the wrong
way…I’ll be back in a minute.”
    “Take your time.”  I pull out my phone to see if
anyone is looking for me.  I know everyone at the farm is waking up and going
for a morning run.  There’s a chef who usually does our cooking, especially the
pack breakfast.  There’s a pool-house with dressing rooms and doggie doors to
enter and exit.  In the movies, werewolves shift back to human form in their
clothes.  In real life, we’re naked and we have all seen each other at one time
or another.  The guys give the girls privacy if available.  My stomach rumbles
as I think about breakfast.  Maybe she’ll want to go grab something to eat.
    My voicemail had one message from the General.  He
wants me to hunt down a rogue wolf that’s been causing problems down in the
south-east part of the state.  It’s a guy by the name of Avery, he’s a real
dick.  He’s old for a rogue, probably in his fifties if not older.  We age
slower than humans.  Rogues live a hard life; they are usually drunks and take
part in illegal acts after years on the run.  A few years back, Avery got into
trouble with the law for illegally selling horses.  I close my phone, not
before turning off the tracking device.  Rogue-chasing can wait until Tuesday,
right now I have a jewel to polish .
    The patio door slides open and Sapphire has an armful
of food and a bag of cat food.  I go over and help her with everything.
    “You did some grocery shopping at your mom’s I
see.”  I set the pack of bacon and carton of eggs on the counter.  That
counter , the one with my special memory of seeing Sapphire completely naked
for the first time.  I smile to myself and reach up to the pan rack and pull
one down.  “If you’d like, I’ll make us omelets.”
    “Oooo, tall, dark, and can cook, what did I do to
get so lucky?”  Sapphire says as she digs in the refrigerator.
    “When I was a teen, I took a few cooking classes. 
I’m pretty good if I do say so myself, but I’m not the best baker.”
    “We’d make a good team then, I’m pretty good at
baking.”
    ~~~~~~
    We spent the morning cooking and talking.  My head
kept going back to the same question.  How do you say you’re a werewolf?  It’s
never been an issue, until now.  I tried to divert the conversation to stories
of her life.  When she told me about the night she left the library and being
attacked a couple of years ago, it almost made me shift in anger.  It took
everything I had, not to run out and find the guy immediately.  She told me she
still has the outfit she had on that night, just in-case they find the guy. 
When she gets in the shower, I’ll get the bag from her closet and memorize the
smell.  The guy will never be prosecuted; I’ll be the judge, jury and executioner. 
He’ll never stalk a woman again, and that’s a promise.  I’m going to teach him
the meaning of fear.
    The water turns off in the bathroom.  After a minute
or so, I hear the shower doors open, causing a waft of shampoo to circulate in
the room.   “Come here, I want to dry you off,” I say and hold a hand out to
her.   I remove the towel off her head, allowing her hair to fall over her
shoulders. 
    She giggles as I pick her up and toss her on the
bed.  “You have a glorious body, a goddess in your own right.  I could say a
lot of adjectives to tell you how I appreciate your beauty but I prefer to show
you...” I pause to kiss her neck, and tug her towel open as I run my fingers
down between her breasts. “Your olive complexion and soft skin are a turn on
like you wouldn’t believe.  I was enchanted the moment you walked
