short. I assured him all
was well on the home front. He sounded relieved that I was doing
nothing more exciting than reading an old book and eating
cantaloupe slices.
“ Artemis,” he said
somberly. “It would be a good idea for you to stay inside the house
until I return tomorrow.”
“ I have no plans to do
anything else.”
“ All right,” he coughed.
“And keep some arrows handy.”
I frowned. “About the arrows…isn’t
there something more effective, like maybe guns?”
“ No,” he said quickly.
“Silver tipped arrows. It’s what hunters use.”
“ But I’m not hunting,” I
pointed out. “I’m sitting here at the kitchen table. Unless…will
something be hunting me?”
A long pause. “We’ll talk tomorrow.
Good night, Artemis.”
I felt uneasy when the call ended. If
my father knew about me and Gideon, I felt sure he would have raced
back here, no matter what else was going on. And he certainly
wasn’t aware of Michael Casteel’s explicit threat. Whatever was
happening, it didn’t have anything to do with the Casteel
brothers.
The afternoon light was gradually
softening into evening. I stared out the kitchen window for a long
time, my eyes inadvertently trained to the small crest which
separated Max’s property from the Casteels’. A pair of rabbits
skittered into the woods but other than that there was no sign of
any other living creature.
By the time darkness began to fall I
was growing tired of wearing nothing but a towel. With a cluck of
regret as I fingered my damp clothing, I realized I would have been
much better off hanging them outside to dry in the
sunlight.
As I passed the kitchen window again, I
saw that the moon was swiftly rising in the sky. It wasn’t full,
but nearly so, casting an eerie silver light over everything in
view. I sighed and began washing the few dishes I’d used during the
day. Before I finished, I recalled Max’s warning to keep some
arrows nearby. That meant a visit to the shed.
As I opened the front door, my body
registered the warning before my eyes did. Then door was already
open and standing there, a mere twenty feet away, was an enormous
golden wolf. He looked at me plainly. I couldn’t breathe. I’d seen
him in this form before, although only at a distance. And then when
he’d partially shifted at the Landons, he had not allowed the full
wolf to take over.
Gideon didn’t move. His changed eyes
stared at me. He wanted me to see him, really see him. The towel
around my middle began to slip off and automatically my hand went
to secure it. Then I stopped. Slowly I removed my hands and the
towel fell way. I wanted Gideon to see me too.
In the space of a heartbeat he rose as
a man. Gideon’s desire for me was very evident as he reached me in
a few quick strides. We barely had time to touch before my legs
wrapped around him in a fury of want. He slammed the door behind us
and we crashed against its closed interior. Our tongues collided
furiously and our hands explored one other with urgent pleas. I was
open, ready for him completely.
“ Wait,” he whispered, and
carried me into my bedroom.
Gideon laid me down on the bed and
climbed on top of me. He let out a strangled cry as the eager tip
of his manhood grazed my moist center. I reached for him, almost
crazy to guide him inside of me, but he was holding back, wanting
something else first.
He held my arms down and looked me in
the eyes. “I need to hear you say it, Artemis.”
I could hardly breathe, dizzy with the
promise of his rock hard passion. “What?” I moaned.
“ That this is what you
want. That you understand what it means.”
I spoke with soulful honesty. “I want
you, Gideon. Always.”
He didn’t need any more coaxing. Gideon
filled my waiting core, plunging deep without apology. He was
larger than anything in my experience and I groaned and arched up
to take him inside as completely as possible. A distant part of my
mind crowed with joy that for all this time, this
was well on the home front. He sounded relieved that I was doing
nothing more exciting than reading an old book and eating
cantaloupe slices.
