Hazel kissed him back and held his chin in her hands in the most gentle manner possible. Mercury eyes watched red ones as she assessed how to proceed with his request. Finally, he kissed her once more pushing her down and she felt her heart seize up. She knew what he was going to ask because he had been begging for it all along and she was finally ready.

“Yeah, you can have that. I think I’ve tortured you long enough,” she pulled him down into another kiss as he slowly but surely got rid of their clothing. He was enjoying that a bit more than she was but she let him have his fun with it.

He was gentle at first but eventually, the wolf in him kicked in but Hazel was ready for it. In the morning, the loft was a disaster thanks to Rex throwing things everywhere and hay was strung about. She had various bruises all over her but it didn’t compare to the marks she had left on him. “Does it hurt?” She let her fingers trail the marks on his sides, shoulders, and back.

“Do you want me to put some herbs on it?” She tilted her head as they cuddled under a blanket. Her touch was light and gentle like always.

“Also… it didn’t make you want to run away did it?”

When the morning came, Rex woke up to Hazel gently tracing the marks she had left across him. It felt…nice. This was the first time that he had woken up like this in a long time, and even better, it was with someone that he deeply loved. Bonus points were awarded for the fact that he didn’t have to jump out of a window to avoid an angry father.

“No,” he said, answering her as she traced down his back. He shivered at her touch. “That feels really nice, actually.” She moved in to cuddle, and he wrapped himself around her, just feeling her skin against his. Compared to his skin, her’s was nice and cool. It felt amazing.

“No. No running…” he muttered, still half asleep as he pulled her tighter into his embrace. “‘Was nice. Really nice.” He took a deep breath. Spices filled his nose, and he smiled. The scent was strong, and it started to wake him up. “Though after all of that, we definitely need a bath…and I’d prefer a non-public one…” He thought for a moment. “Could go home…Mom and Dad would want to see me too…”

Despite this, he didn’t let go of Hazel. She was too comfortable. “Maybe…five more minutes,” he muttered. “I like this…” He closed his eyes again, taking in her scent. He was starting to pick out each individual spice, and for some reason, it was lulling him back to sleep.

“I really like this…”

“Well, all I got is a bucket and a towel Lover Boy. If you want a non-public bath with me you’ll just have to take me home with you,” she tickled his sides lightly before laying a few kisses on his chest. “Fine, the puppy gets five more minutes,” she smirked a bit as she watched him get comfortable again. “I really like it too…” She whispered to him. “Just like I like you~ and like what you do…” She kissed his neck softly. “And… You aren’t too shabby of a teacher.”

Almost if prompted Rex’s eyes shot back open and looked at her before rolling her over. It wouldn’t be too bad to show her another thing so soon~ At least it wouldn’t be overwhelming like their first night trying things out… She had to smack him for that.

Exhausted, Hazel laid next to him and nuzzled his neck once more, “You are going to make me want to stay in bed all day… We really need that bath now.”

Once they were dressed and had clothes in hand to change into they made their way to the Terrowin castle where they were greeted by Simone, “REX! MY BABY!” She ran towards him and hugged him tightly. “You are okay! Why didn–” She gave him a sniff and looked at Hazel. “He finally got in your pants.”

Hazel was bright red, “Rex’s clothes don’t fit anymore…”

“He can borrow some of Lucas’s… The kid grows too much.” Simone scampered off happily before coming back with a pair of pants and a shirt, “Here until he can get more clothes made. You can use the kids’ bath upstairs.”

Once they were in the washroom Hazel about collapsed to the ground, “I didn’t know how she would react… She looked pleasantly surprised but that was nerve-wracking.”

With Hazel’s prompt, Rex felt almost obligated to show her a new trick or two before going back home. Like the night before, it was explosive. At this point, Rex wasn’t sure if it was his love and attraction for Hazel, or the lycanthropy, but sex with her could easily become an addiction. Finally, though, they managed to get dressed (in Rex’s case, forcing clothes onto him), and they went back to the Isle de Koskaan.

The first thing that happened was, of course, Simone greeting them. The second thing that happened turned both him and Hazel red.

“Mom! Doooonn’t…” He flushed, and looked to the side.

As she scampered off to get clothes, Rex apologized to Hazel. During this time, the shirt he was wearing started to tear at the seems. Simone came back with extra clothes, and Rex thankful took them as they went to the upstairs washroom.

Rex was naked in a flash, thankful to get out of the tight fitting clothes. He pampered over to Hazel with a half smirk. “Mom is…a lot less worried about it than Dad, but…Dad isn’t too worried about me.” He grinned, though, as he loomed over Hazel for a moment. “I think…if you’re quiet enough…….” There was that hunger in his eyes again.

Hazel blushed, and nodded. He moved over to her, kneeling down to kiss her….

Lucas rolled out of bed, yawning. He looked over to Ezili, who was comfortably sleeping under her sheets. He wanted to let her sleep for the moment, and he stretched. They had moved downstairs to one of the larger rooms at Simone’s behest where there was more room for the two of them. Unfortunately, due to a variety of Mira related reasons, the downstairs bathroom wasn’t an option. So, like every morning, he wandered up the stairs.

He heard a loud banging noise first. Still have asleep, Lucas assumed Kalina was working on something. He moved down the hall, and suddenly he heard a feminine voice. It sounded…familiar, but Lucas couldn’t pin it down. It was growing louder, and suddenly he wondered if someone was in danger. Determined, he ran down the hall, and slammed the door open to where he heard the voice; the bathroom.

Rex paused as he looked over with a sour look, as if he was pissed that they were being interrupted.. Hazel was leaning against the sink, her eyes wide as she slowly turned a bright red.

“…” Lucas blinked, and then slammed the door shut, turning around almost instantly. As his face started to turn red from embarrassment, he realized that Ezili had followed him up.

“Was that…?” Ezili asked sleepily.

Ezili stretched and flailed around a bit in the big bed. Their bed was hugeeee now! No longer was it the small single bed now it was a large canopy bed. The room wasn’t done up for children either. Simone was still renovating and it showed she was bored though with three little ones always around her she wondered how long she could keep Kalina entertained with her projects.

Padding after Lucas like a puppy she followed him up to the second floor. Her opal eyes got only a glance at what Lucas saw and her face lit up red. “Whoa.”

Then it processed in her mind and she got up close to the door, “I’m so happy for you two! I knew you would be perfect! You look so muscular to Rex! Good job! She looks happy!”

Inside Hazel had a hand clamped over her eyes now as she was red from embarrassment. She was now sitting on the sink and she couldn’t even bring herself to look at Rex.

“Okay, well, Lucas and I are going to go back downstairs and we’ll be back up in a few to take our bath! So please don’t have sex too long okay?” Ezili skipped away only to turn around and take Lucas’s hand dragging him back down.

Hazel looked up at her lover, “I’m never going to be able to look Lucas or Ezili… in the eyes ever again. The sad part is? Ezili will look us both in the eyes and be HAPPY about it. Let’s just…” She dragged him for a bath and soon they changed into their new clothes and got ready for breakfast.
