Chapter 2: The Mysteries of the Lupine

A/N: Since a few of my readers like this story and say that it is a better approach then the Original "Burning Desires" I'll be continuing on with this story.

Kursed couldn't understand it at all. The situation she was in now didn't seem to be possible, she never thought she could feel this way before nor did she even wish to feel this way. The image of her kissing Jessy kept repeating itself in her head and every time it did, she became angry. How could she have allowed herself to do such a thing to a person she had just met.

"Damn, he most likely thinks I'm some slut or I've got it in for him just cause I've researched about him." Kursed thought as she laid in her bed looking up at the ceiling. Kursed got fed up with just laying there to her thoughts and picked up the file the General had left her. Kursed opened the file and pulled out a bunch of notes about Jessy L. Wolf and read through page after page at her small coffee table.

Kursed read the file from back to front five times and nothing about the file on Jessy could remotely explain why she was acting the way she was. Kursed nibbled on her right thumb as she eyed Jessy's photo. Kursed thought about seeing what Jessy was doing right now, but after all she knew Jessy would most likely be asleep in the bed she aloud him to have for the night.

Kursed couldn't take it anymore, she got up slowly and walked over to her wardrobe and pulled out a black lace dressing gown and put it on her nude body before tying it up and leaving the room before standing in front of the room Jessy occupied. She slowly reached for the door knob and turned it slowly before slowly opening the door enough to peek in and see someone in the bed.

As she opened the door further and walked into the room slowly she closed the door behind her before approaching Jessy and looked at the sleeping Lupine. She noticed he had removed his shirt and left it folded on the chair near the bed with the cloak hanging of the armrest.

Kursed couldn't help what she was about to do, she slowly lent down close to him and breathed in hi scent slowly before slowly kissing his soft lips. She prayed that he wouldn't wake up as she kept softly smooching him, but before she knew it he was returning them causing a low murr to escape her throat. Kursed's eyes widened however when Jessy's eyes opened and looked at her, before she quickly pulled back. "Ah…I Ummm…" Kursed blushed deeply as he ears pressed against her head, she couldn't believe what she had done.

Jessy sat up slowly causing the blanket on him to slowly fall off his chest. Kursed watched as the blanket slowly feel, revealing Jessy's muscular frame, which she was now focused on completely. Jessy knew what she was staring at and sighed lightly before he poked Kursed's nose. "It's fine Kursed, can't sleep either huh?" Jessy asked pretending as if nothing happened.

Kursed looked at Jessy's light blue eyes and instantly began to purr loudly before slowly placing her hands on his chest and pushing him on to his back again. Jessy looked up at Kursed confused before he suddenly realised what was going on. Jessy tried to move away but before he got the chance Kursed sat on top of him and slowly undid her gown before letting it fall off her body slowly and tossing it to the side of the room and kept her right hand and forearm over her breasts so her nipples didn't show as she lent down and rested on Jessy as she kissed him slowly.

To Kursed's surprise however, Jessy quickly wrapped his arms around her and began to kiss back more passionately, causing Kursed to purr louder as she wagged her tail in the air happily.

Kursed suddenly opened her eyes and sat up straight panting as she looked around the room. She was in her own bed with no one else in sight. "W…Was that a dream?" Kursed asked herself as she felt her head. Kursed sighed in relief lightly as she laid back in bed. The realisation that it was all just a dream relaxed her greatly but at the same time she was a little worried that she had a dream like that about Jessy.

Kursed felt strange however, she couldn't relax a lot and somehow she felt wet, her heart was beating rapidly as she rested in her bed. Could it be? Did it happen in her sleep? Kursed decided to check slowly as she slowly began to slide her hand down her body and felt her panties she decided to sleep in, her eyes widened slowly as she felt her black laced panties. They were wet and she knew why.

"I…I got turned on in me sleep." Kursed said quietly to herself feeling embarrassed. As Kursed sighed, she got up out of her bed and walked over to wardrobe before pulling out a pair of white panties and a bra before she reached in again and grabbed a white tank top and a pair of black shorts before she went out of her room and opened the bathroom door before entering and locking the door behind her. As Kursed left the water running, she began to remove the rest of her clothes slowly before leaving them on the floor before she slowly entered the warm shower and stood there to allow the water to run down her body slowly.

Kursed really enjoyed her showers since they relaxed her a lot whenever she woke up. Kursed then grabbed the shampoo and conditioner before pouring some in her hand and rubbed it into her fur everywhere to keep it all nice soft and clean before washing it all off with the water and sighing in relief. "I got to be more careful I believe, otherwise I have no idea what I'll do to him." Kursed said to herself quietly. She still shivered at the thoughts her dream had caused her, it had only been one kiss that she didn't expect to give and surprised her gravely.

Kursed turned off the water before slowly getting out of the shower and used a towel to dry her hair and fur off fast before she put on her clothes and left the bathroom and looked at Jessy's door. Kursed walked over to the room and opened the door slowly to see if Jessy was asleep or not and as she peered into the room her eyes widened to see that he wasn't in the room. Kursed looked everywhere in the house for him fast, where could he have gone to?

Kursed ran into the kitchen before stopping still and looked out the sliding door that led to her backyard and breathed in a sigh of relief to find that he was standing under a tall tree with his long sword in it's holster that hung from the side of his belt. "What's he doing?" Kursed thought as she watched from her kitchen.

Jessy's eyes were closed as he held the hilt of his sword, breathing in deeply and slowly Jessy listened to the wind as leaves slowly fell from the branches. Kursed's eyes widened in shock as the leaves that slowly fell to the ground split vertically in half as soon as they touched the ground. She couldn't believe it, to her eyes Jessy didn't budge an inch. Kursed then watched as Jessy knelt down on the ground and began to pick up the leaves before he walked over to her bin in the backyard and placed them all in the bin feeling that it'd be rude to leave her house a mess.

Jessy then walked back inside after he had opened the door and closing it behind him after walking into the house. Jessy looked around the kitchen and noticed that no one was in sight before he walked up the stairs again and into the room Kursed said he could use. Jessy opened up the wardrobe and took his long sword off with the hilt from his belt and placed it in there next to the giant great sword that normally rested in a holster in his back before he closed the wardrobes doors.

Jessy slowly let out a low sigh as he kept looking at the wardrobe. "You do realise you're in the wrong room right." Jessy said before slowly turning around to find Kursed sitting on the bed with a light blush across her face.

"Oh shit… I really am not thinking straight today." Kursed thought to herself. "Um yeah I do realise that, but then again after all this is my house so I can go wherever I like." Kursed said in an attempt to save her fur.

Jessy just laughed lightly as he stood still. "Good point but still, being in a room where someone else is sleeping first thing in the morning? Kind of creepy wouldn't you think?" Jessy asked as he looked at Kursed's lightly embarrassed expression.

Kursed felt really embarrassed about showing up in this room, though she did try to save her embarrassment by pointing out she was allowed to go where she wanted in her house, it didn't help the fact she chose the room Jessy slept in last night. "Okay fine, you win. This is whole contract has been embarrassing enough for me already." Kursed said as she got up and walked towards the door, but to her surprise Jessy's right hand slammed onto the door so she couldn't open it. Kursed looked at Jessy with an aggressive look in her eyes as Jessy looked back with the same expression. "And what do you think you're doing blocking my path Jessy?" Kursed questioned sternly.

Jessy slowly stepped closer to Kursed as he focused more on her eyes, slowly breathing in and out deeply, Kursed could feel his breathing on the fur of her face and neck as Jessy closed in. "This was never a contract Kursed, it was a job of you're choosing and you chose to muck it all up the moment you kissed me. Now the question I've been asking myself all this time since then is; why did you kiss me?" Jessy asked as he moved closer to Kursed, causing her to slowly begin moving back.

Kursed was finding Jessy's behaviour amusing. It had been awhile for her to meet someone that'd think to cross her like this. A slight smirk began to slowly form on her face as she kept slowly moving back as Jessy approached. "Heh, you think it's wise to try and threaten a Bounty Hunter Jessy? Do you even know the rumours about me?" Kursed questioned with obvious humour in her voice almost devious.

To Kursed's surprise however, Jessy didn't stop approaching her, and it wasn't long till her back hit the wall meaning she had nowhere else to go. But Kursed wasn't afraid, she didn't mind being cornered so long as she wasn't going to be attacked. "You mean the rumours of you being able to read minds huh? Yeah I've heard them, but in my line of work it's not difficult to trick the mind." Jessy said as he placed his right hand on the wall behind Kursed, but right next to her head.

Kursed grinned a little, baring her teeth on the left side of her mouth as she looked at Jessy's hand before looking back at him. She was obviously enjoying this and Jessy could tell. "So what now 'hero'? Going to hurt me a little and be on your way making sure I don't find you again? Or are you going to try and kill me?" Kursed asked deviously. Kursed's eyes widened in shock however when Jessy kissed her passionately. She was taken a back as she felt Jessy's lips touch hers as he pulled her body against his with his left arm. Kursed's eyes slowly closed before she knew it as she slowly began to melt into the kiss, slowly opening her mouth a little with Jessy's as she brushed his tongue with her own. Her heart began to pound rapidly as she slowly wrapped her arms around Jessy's muscular frame. As she slowly broke the kiss and looked in to his eyes and placed her hands on his chest and gently pushed him back slowly from her with a slight smile. "Or you could just do that. But why did you?" Kursed asked.

Jessy rubbed the back of his neck slowly with a pleased smile on his face as he looked at Kursed. "Call it payback for the alleyway Kursed." Jessy said.

Kursed's heart suddenly leapt as some overwhelming sensation swept over her. She knew what it was, but she didn't believe it. Kursed gave Jessy a little giggle before smiling. "Sorry but I better go right about now. Besides you should get a little more rest after all, you did say you hardly get any sleep due to those troops that were chasing you." Kursed said before she walked out of the room and closed the door behind her before she walked over to her room and closed the door behind her before walking over to the dresser next to her bed and rummaging around through it till she found what she was looking for and slowly pulled it out. "Can't believe I have to use this again." Kursed said as she looked at the deep purple vibrator she was holding before she flicked the switch, her eyes widened in horror however when the vibrator didn't vibrate. "Th…The batteries…are dead?" Kursed questioned as her body trembled, as the thoughts of Jessy began to swarm her mind.

Jessy sighed deeply as he stood in his room, he couldn't believe he did what he did. He knew what was happening between him and Kursed. Jessy slowly turned around and opened his bedroom door before he slowly opened Kursed's and walked in and noticed what Kursed was holding even though she was facing the other way pouting. Jessy slowly walked behind Kursed towards her silently till he was directly behind her. Jessy slowly reached for the hand that held the vibrator and slowly guided it to the top of the dresser and made Kursed let go of it, causing her eyes to widen in shock when she finally realised Jessy was there, and slowly looked into his eyes and noticed the look in his eyes, before she looked away.

"Tell me…how long have you know Jessy?" Kursed questioned as she looked down at the floor. She knew Jessy knew what she was, and now who she was.

"The moment you kissed me…Krystal" Jessy said, mentioning Kursed's true name.

Sighing deeply she slowly smiled. "Yeah, that's my name, the dreaded bounty hunter of the Lylat system is none other then the ex-member of Star Fox and the final Cerinian alive: Krystal." Krystal said sounding a little amused, but at the same time saddened. "I'm sorry Jessy, I suppose I should tell you why I've been like this." Krystal said.

Jessy slowly wrapped his arms around Krystal's waist, causing her to jump a little in surprise as she looked over her left shoulder at Jessy. "There's no need to… you'd be telling me what I already know." Jessy said. "Cerinians look for a mate this time of the year if they don't have one already and go into heat. You never got with Fox, that's why you're body is reacting the way it is." Jessy said.

Krystal was shocked, Jessy had known about Cerinians extremely well. But she also knew there was only one way he'd have that knowledge. "There's only one way you'd have that knowledge Jessy…so you're also." Krystal stopped talking as Jessy gave a nod confirming her theory. "So that explains why the feelings have been stronger. I was wondering why I felt this way more towards you then how I felt with Fox." Krystal said still facing away from him. Krystal let out a low sigh as she knew the jig was up. "So what happens now?" Krystal asked.

"What do you want to happen now Krystal?" Jessy asked.

Krystal smiled a little. "I don't know Jessy, I really don't want to jump into anything to be honest." Krystal said trying to be as nice as she could.

Jessy nodded in agreement and smiled a little but only enough for Krystal to just notice causing her to smile before Jessy let go of her and walk towards the door. "I'm gonna go out for a bit okay, and I'll leave my weapons here to not draw any attention to myself and so you know I'll come back." Jessy said as he opened the door.

Before Jessy could take a step out however, Krystal grasped his right arm tightly while she looked at the ground. Just being around Jessy was enough to drive her crazy and it was obviously killing her pride, Jessy felt extremely bad for what was happening to her, but at the same time, he knew he couldn't do anything about it. Krystal's heart was pounding just from holding his arm made her body shake with temptation, and she was straining to hold back her desires with every amount of will power she could muster. "Don't go…" Krystal said with sadness as she moved closer to Jessy and rested her head on his shoulder.

Jessy's expression now faded into sadness as she felt the pounding of her heart through his arm as she pressed her body against it. She was fighting it as best as she could, but being near him made it near impossible. Jessy quickly loosened Krystal's grip enough for him to free himself from her grasp and he looked into her eyes with sadness. "Krystal…one of us has to leave here." Jessy said.

Krystal nodded slowly and sighed. "I…I know…I will. I need the fresh air in order to clear my head." Krystal said as she walked past Jessy quickly and down the stairs before she grabbed her boots and put them on quickly. "I'll come back later when my head is clear." Krystal said before opening the door and closing it behind her as she walked out of the house and ran down the street into the city.

Jessy stood in the doorway of Krystal's room staring at the stairs that lead down to the front door with sadness in his heart. "Damn it…why does life have to be so god damn difficult?" Jessy asked himself as he shut the door to Krystal's room behind him as he walked down the hallway and back into his room before laying down on his bed face first. "Just be careful Krystal." Jessy said quietly as he slowly closed his eyes and quickly fell asleep.
