Tori POV
"I never get tired of that." Jade moans as I pull the strap-on she gave me out of her, falling to her side.
"I never get tired of it either." I say, undoing the harness and letting it fall to the floor, intending to clean it up later. "Do you think they'll like me?" I ask, laying beside her, the wolf tail plug she gave me before still in place. I've grown accustomed to it, so much so I often forget I have it on until I have to get dressed for something and/or Jade points it out.
"Who?" Jade asks, rolling over to face me, our bodies glistening with sweat.
"My family. My human family." I say, pushing her gently so she's on her back so I can rest my head on her chest. "They haven't seen me in so long. What if they don't like me anymore, especially with how much like a wolf I still am?" I ask, closing my eyes as I listen to her heartbeat.
"They'll love you. The never gave up on you. The never stopped looking for you, even if they themselves weren't out there searching. They had friends looking for you when they couldn't, and they were always watching the news in case you were found." She tells me, pulling me closer to her. "When dad told them, they were ecstatic. They couldn't wait to come over to see you." She adds as a whisper.
"But I was a young girl, I don't even remember what they look like." I say, starting to cry. "I'm not their little girl anymore." I add with a barely audible whisper.
"Of course you are." Jade says, pushing me onto my back and climbing over me, making me open my eyes. "You will always be their little girl, not matter what." She says, her face less than a foot from mine. "You were there when my dad called them to tell them you couldn't wait to see them. Remember how excited they were to know you were alive, healthy, and so eager to see them after so long? I heard them, and I was farther away than you were, the phone wasn't on speaker, and I don't have your superior sense of hearing." She whispers, leaning down. "They will love you, the do love you, and when they get here tomorrow, they won't hesitate to pull you into a family hug, crying for you. I promise." She says, pecking my lips. "Now, let's shower and get dressed. Dad'll be home soon, and he's taking us out to eat." She says with a small smile, climbing off of me.
"Jade?" I ask, stopping her as she grabs a change of clothes.
"Yeah?" She asks, turning to face me.
"Thank you." I say, smiling at her.
"Welcome." She says softly. "Now get over here, and take the tail plug out. I feel weird seeing that when we're not mating." She adds, opening the door to her en suite bathroom.
The next morning, I wake up before the sun, eager to see my family after so many years. Too eager to wait, I roll out of bed, still a little sweaty from Jade and I mating again last night after her father went to bed and her air conditioner is broken, and head in to take a shower, not bothering with a change of clothes.
Twenty minutes later, I feel the wolf inside wanting to re-awaken, my nerves making me want to start acting the way I was when Jade found me, as I climb out of the shower and grab a towel to dry off.
'No. I will not give in to the wolf. Not today.' I say to myself, staring at my reflection in the bathroom mirror. 'I've come too far for that.' I add, sighing.
After drying off, my hair still a little wet from the shower, I head back into Jade's and my room, the towel wrapped around my hair.
"Your family will be here in a few hours. Are you sure you want them to see you au natural?" Jade asks with a smirk from the bed, equally nude as me, though not as fresh smelling.
"Huh?" I ask, staring at her, my mind focused on keeping the wolf side at bay.
"What's up? You're zoned out." Jade asks, all joking aside, as she gets out of bed and walks over to me.
"I'm afraid that I'll start acting the way I was when we met." I admit, pulling her into a hug. "I'm so nervous about seeing them, and I can feel the wolf wanting to come out again." I whisper, resting my head on her shoulder.
"Don't be nervous, and you don't need to be afraid. I'll be here, I'll be able to put the wolf back to rest." She assures me, holding me close.
"Easier said than done." I say, letting out a sigh.
"I'm gonna shower, then we're gonna get dressed and get something to eat before your family arrives." Jade whispers, making no move to pull away. "You'll be fine." She assures, finally releasing me.
"I hope so." I say with a small smile. When I hear the water start a minute later, I get dressed, a pair of light blue jean shorts that go to mid-thigh, a light grey, almost white sports bra, and a grey tank top. I don't grab a pair of underwear, not liking them, and forgo shoes for now. As Jade showers, I get dressed and brush my hair, the towel with Jade as she grabbed it on her way to shower.
Fifteen minutes later, Jade walks out, wrapped in the towel, and starts finding something to wear. "You'd like the place they work at. You might even be able to get a job there. It is a family business, after all." Jade says nonchalantly as she gets dressed, pulling on a matching pair of black lace bra and bikini cut underwear (for some reason, she felt the need to teach me about the different kinds of underwear, and forbade me from saying 'panties'.), before pulling on a black muscle shirt and black/purple plaid skirt and black mesh leggings.
"Won't it be kind of weird though? Especially with the wolves?" I ask, putting my hair into a single ponytail.
"You'll be fine, don't worry." Jade says, letting her hair air dry. "And admit it, you'd love to see the wolves, even if they're not from your pack." She says, walking over to me. "Let's go get some food. I know you're hungry." She says jokingly, her hand sliding across my lower back as she reaches for her phone.
"Like you aren't?" I ask, smiling at how she seems to be able to calm me down so easily. "You used more energy than I did last night." I say, following her upstairs.
"Not my fault you can go for so long without needing a break." Jade says as we enter the kitchen. "Though it is my fault my room is sound proof." She says with a shrug, pulling out some eggs, bacon (I couldn't help but salivate at the sight of the bacon, old habits die hard.), shredded cheese, and sausage (again, I salivate. I might not be as wolf-like as I was before, but like I said, old habits die hard.) before heading to the stove. "Would you like some eggs and toast with your meat?" She asks, turning the stove on as she grabs a pan to cook in.
"It's not my fault you always make so much bacon and sausage." I say with small pout, watching as she puts a few strips of bacon on the pan as it heats up.
"Yeah it is. When you first got here, you ate practically every strip of bacon we had, plus any and all lunch meat. I'm just glad you didn't know how to open the freezer at the time, or we would've been out of steak and chicken over night." She says as she cooks, sending me a small smirk at the end.
"And now, I eat you." I say with a smirk of my own, my nerves settled for the time being.
"I hope you don't mean what I think you mean." Jade's dad says, walking into the kitchen, dressed in casual slacks and a light blue button overshirt, his short hair slightly shiny from a fresh shower of his own. (My sense of smell is still higher than usual, I can smell the Old Spice body wash he uses, as well as the Dove men's shampoo/conditioner mix.)
"And what do you think it means?" Jade asks, not glancing at her father as she cooks, adding more bacon.
"I refuse to answer that." Her dad says, moving to the coffee pot to start brewing, grabbing two mugs as it gets warmed up. "So, are you ready to see your parents and sister?" He asks me, pouring the coffee for himself and Jade after it brews.
"Nervous, but yes." I say with a nod, watching him as he adds sugar to his and Jade's, then some creamer for himself. "Add a little bit more sugar for Jade's." I suggest, used to how she takes hers by the smell, the subtle sweetness from the sugar a bit less than she prefers.
"I don't think I'll ever get fully used to that." Jade's dad says as he does as I suggest. "What would you like to drink?" He asks, shutting the coffee pot off.
"Orange juice." I say, giving him a 'thank you' smile. "Did they say when they'd be here?" I ask as he pours me a glass of orange juice and handing it to me.
"They told me they usually have an early start, and they'd be here around ten to ten thirty. They'll call if they're earlier or later." Jade's dad assured, taking a seat at the kitchen table. "Make some bacon for the rest of us." He comments when Jade sets a plateful of almost fifteen strips of bacon (don't judge me) beside the stove as she starts the eggs and sausage.
"These are just for Tori. If I made anymore, there'd only be enough for each of us to have one and a half." Jade jokes as she cracks an egg.
"I do not each that much bacon anymore." I say, glaring at the back of Jade's head.
"You used to go through two or three packages a day. The manager at the grocery store once asked me if I wanted to just buy the whole pig and go from there because of how much I used to buy a week." Jade deadpans, turning around and raising an eyebrow at me.
"I'm not that bad anymore." I say with a pout, crossing my arms.
"No, but you do eat more than usual." Jade points out. "Don't worry, I'm not complaining. And by the way, we each get five strips of bacon. No more." She says, flipping the egg and checking the sausage.
"No promises." I say, sitting across from her dad.
Half an hour later, the three of us finish our breakfast, Jade got mad when her dad have me his two remaining strips of bacon, and put our dishes in the sink, Jade's dad telling us to go rest until my parents get here as he does the dishes for us.
"I hope they like me." I say, letting my fears show again, as we relax in the living room, Jade finding a random movie on Netflix. (Though I question the 'randomness' when a werewolf movie called 'Blood and Chocolate' starts playing.)
"They will." Jade assures, pulling me closer to her. "I know it." She says, eyes on the screen.
Originally, this was going to be a long one-shot, but I decided to break it into two, maybe three, parts. The next will be when Tori finally sees her family again.
By the way, not only do I not own 'Blood and Chocolate', I recommend it. It's an awesome movie. Though it is considered a werewolf movie, they're different than what you might think of. I won't give the plot away, but I do recommend you look it up and watch it.
Thank you for reading, hope you review.
Blessed Be.
