AN: Written for the Summer Mini Challenge for three prompts: "golden amber", "fire" and "whimsical" in three related perfect drabbles.
Mind, Body & Spirit
Erica feels like she's losing her mind. She's constantly reminded of what a pathetic girl she once was.
Now she's changed and her skin's stripped away; she becomes a creature that's stronger, faster, and sexier.
She can't go back. No more teenage awkwardness, and her nightmare is finally dead.
She stares at the golden amber of the half moon and her lips thin over gritted teeth. She turns to her pack mates, studying them, wondering what she should do next to prove she's no longer that girl. Her eyes settle on Isaac, and heat pulses between her legs - ready.
She's feels a fire rising within her, burning under a skin, a growling wolf snapping its teeth to get out. There's so much heat she can't control herself. She feels like she wants to jump out of her skin, let her emotions fly, and let go with primal need.
Their pack disperses for the evening, and everyone is wandering around, going their separate ways. Erica watches Isaac, follows him and pulls him aside.
The kiss is startling; then deep, and when his hands roam over her, returning her desire, Erica wonders if he's been feeling the same.
Want, need, possession.
Under the waxing moon, she mates with him, their naked bodies rolling around the dirt of the forest. In Isaac's bruising touches, Erica feels a sense of peace. He's growling in her ear, flipping her onto her knees, and pushing deep inside her.
She cries, almost like a howl, and suddenly the caked dirt on their buddies, the sweat slick between them, and the chill of the forest begin to calm her spirit.
For a second, Erica entertains the whimsical notion they could become lovers, but then she knows the raging beast within her will never settle for just one.
