of her fingers and toes. Shivers wracked her body as she curled up against the intense pleasure of her climax. Waves of desire broke over her body, making her gasp with shallow breaths. She hadn’t come like this in years, and all from touching Cain for just a moment! It was a long time before she could fall asleep, visions of wolves and men floating through her mind.
When Rebecca drove up to the compound the following week, she wasn’t sure what she should expect. She knew the animosity that existed between the two groups, and she felt more than a little wary at the thought of being the only human amongst a bunch of werewolves. Stop it! This is just the kind of thinking that has brought so much trouble upon our two groups , she chastised herself, but she couldn’t erase her unease completely.
She was waved through quickly, the gates closing firmly behind her. Rebecca continued to drive for another fifteen minutes, before finally pulling up to a luxurious palace, cause it really was that big. She gaped, trying to figure out just how many wolves occupied those rooms. Suddenly there was a tap at her window, and there was Cain Fitzpatrick, bending down to her and smiling.
“Welcome.”
She stepped out quickly. This time she had tried to dress a little nicer, in a burgundy v neck sweater and jeans that actually showed her ass off nicely. Cain had dressed down at home too, in just a button up and dark slacks. Nonetheless, he had a polish that the rich could only have.
“Uh, hi. Wow. This is huge,” she said like an utter idiot.
“It is. We have our full pack of one hundred and forty lycans here right now actually, so the Fitzpatrick estate is at full capacity.”
That was a lot of wolves. She wanted to ask if she’d be safe, but knew it would be rude. Cain motioned to a servant who came forward to grab her bags, then walked inside. Rebecca quickly followed, her head craning to look at the splendid statues and architecture that adorned the palatial home.
“Now I’m sure you’re wondering what brings so many of us together this week. The reason is that we are having a special yearly ritual, which I’m sure you’ll be excited to attend.”
“Oh wow, yes, I’m honoured!”
“Of course, something like this is quite like a celebration for us, hence why we have gathered together. Think of it as a… family reunion of sorts.”
“I won’t be intruding on anything, will I?”
“No no, don’t worry,” Cain replied, stopping to look at her. “In fact, if you’d like, I want to ask you if you’ll have the honours of performing the rites tonight.”
Her eyes widened at the thought. She hadn’t dreamed in a million years that she’d be allowed view werewolf society for herself, and now she was being asked to participate!
“I…what is it? I don’t know if I’ve studied all of your rituals,” she admitted ruefully.
“I wouldn’t worry Rebecca, if I may call you that,” he said. When she nodded, he continued, “You’re already a natural, and all you will have to do is follow my lead. Now if at any point you feel uncomfortable, there will be others ready to help take your place. Will that ease your worries?”
“Yes,” she replied, perking up, “yes it would!”
Cain had led her to her bedroom now. He opened up two heavy doors, and she could see that it also held a small library and a study where she could write down her findings. A warm cheery fire blazed, and there was a tray of food beside it on the table.
“In case you hadn’t eaten before you arrived,” he said with a courtly bow.
“Thank you,” she said wandering in to explore. He was almost about to leave, when she remembered one last question: “What ritual is it?”
“Our fertility ritual.”
With that, he left, leaving her blushing. What on earth was a fertility ritual? Come on Rebecca, you know just what it is! You have a doctorate in this field. Still, it did nothing to ease her embarrassment. Truthfully, it was all
