AN: More fluff to come, sadly but secretly gladly, heehee…. I don't mean to make them so fluffy I swear, but they're still technically in their 'honeymoon' phase as they're in their new home, and fluff is a dirty little secret of mine. Which, that's understandable that they're excited right? Hope you don't lose interest, I'm trying to keep them in character as best I can. Read, review, and I really hope you like it. Critics are always welcome, but please do so in a nice way. I'm still learning every day, and it's always good to have advice.
Gabriel turned the motorcycle on and it blared to life with a vicious roar and Vivian climbed on behind him, wrapping her arms around his rock hard waist. As they sped off she traced a finger up under his shirt so she could feel his abs. Vivian grinned as she felt goose bumps crawl over his tanned flesh. She then looped her fingers through the belt loops closest to his pelvis.
Onward they drove towards the inn and the closer they got the more nervous and excited Vivian became. Her breath quickened and her heart beat erratically. Gabriel noticed and took a second to bring her hand to his lips, his large hand caressing hers as he brought it back down, the soft and rough touch sending a delicious shiver down Vivian's spine. Then she returned her hand to their previous resting position on his belt loops.
There was an immense hill that they began to crest over when Gabriel cut the bike's engines, resting his arms from their place on the handle bars.
"What's up?" Vivian asked, removing her arms.
Gabriel turned his head to Vivian, grinning. "You're about to see the beginning of our territory. As we drive over this hill shift your eyes so that you can see the forest down below."
Vivian nodded in sheer excitement that caused Gabriel to place a quick kiss on her lips, his eyes fire once more. He then gassed the bike and they zoomed over the hill. Vivian's breath caught as she saw the black forest down below.
The forest was an immense shadow before she shifted her eyes and the moon cast an eerie glow down below. It was beautiful, and then her eyes were ablaze also. The forest lit up into the multicolored Loup garou vision that was more than wolf and human. Immediately she knew she would draw that moment, on the bike next to her mate. She squeezed Gabriel's waist and howled in pure delight. He chuckled ahead of her but Vivian could sense the excitement underneath his bravado. She couldn't wait to be there, underneath the trees, beside Gabriel, running with their pack with no limitations.
Gabriel sped the bike up faster, speeding now along the black highway towards their destination. Vivian kissed and nipped Gabriel's neck over and over again, being sure to leave her mark, and letting him know she was content. They passed Vivian's new school before heading back up the mountain. Eventually they came upon a long dirt road that led down to the inn. Along that dirt road trees boarded each side of the it. Vivian held her breath.
An enormous manor came into view, one that needed some work on it sure, but that was how they got the land so cheap. Gabriel already had hired help fixing up the place.
Vivian's face lit up. Right next to the inn was a lake that was gleaming beneath the silver glow of the moon. There was also a collection of stables that stood on the other side and she heard horses snorting inside. Vivian saw where the lake turned into a river. She also noted that beside the lake was a store that had tubes, rafts, canoes, and all kinds of whatnots for swimming, rafting, or canoeing down the river. There were buses somewhere nearby, Vivian knew, that would bus tourists up so that they could come down the river. Also Vivian was told there was a bike bus and a bike trail winding its way down the mountain. Visitors would be bussed up with bikes and they could bike down the trail to the very bottom of the mountain or hike it if they wished. There would be a bus at the bottom waiting to bring them back up to the inn when they were done. The inn also included a camping ground so tourists could camp at a very specific location on specific nights. Gabriel had gone through a lot of trouble getting all of this set up with enough jobs so that the entire pack would be well taken care of. He also made sure that all of the visitor's activities would be on the opposite end of where the pack would make their runs. He had told Vivian there was another river around the area they would be hunting, and it was way bigger.
Vivian leapt off the bike and took off running down the stone walkway to the door at the entrance to the inn. She tried to yank the huge door open but it would not budge. She growled in frustration.
Gabriel was emitting a throaty laugh and he shook something gleaming and silver in his large hand. "It's locked Viv, here are the keys. There are extras for you."
He took long strides to get to Vivian and handed her the key which she immediately placed in the keyhole, unlocking and then swinging the door open.
Gabriel flipped on the lights and Vivian took in her surroundings. The main room was in slight disrepair, but Vivian knew it would be fixed in no time.
A large chandelier hung from the ceiling and the den had large leather couches, a few armchairs, and a good sized fireplace. Vivian though, barely glanced at it because she grabbed Gabriel's hand and was jerking him towards the spiraling staircase.
The sounds of their arriving pack made Gabriel hurry as he led Vivian up the stairs to their master suite.
The room was still relatively empty save for the huge king sized bed in their room, which was down a short hallway.
The first thing Vivian noticed about their bedroom was that three of the four walls was comfortable beige while the fourth wall was completely bare of all paint, save for the white of the wall, and nothing was placed on it.
Next to that wall was a stand filled with every kind of art supply Vivian could dream of.
"Your mom told me all about your mural. This wall is for you baby." Gabriel whispered in Vivian's ear as he came up behind her, tracing his fingers underneath her shirt and to her bra, which he unclasped before she knew it.
"Thanks Gabe, you have no idea how much that means to me." Vivian whispered breathlessly, uttering a moan as Gabriel reached around and placed both her breasts in his strong hands. He then picked Vivian up and carried her to their bed.
Silk and cotton caressed Vivian's skin as he laid her down, baring his weight on her as he brought her head up to him, devouring her mouth with a kiss that was more teeth than lips. It didn't take long for them to lose all of their clothing. Gabriel bit all up and down her entire body lovingly, possessively. He claimed her then as his mate once more, on their bed, not hers, not his, but theirs, in their inn where their pack was shuffling noisily outside. They could tell the pack was ignoring their suite seeing as how they were making more noise than any of the pack members outside.
They spent a few more good hours making love at every spot of their new home as both man and wolf all the time. There was nothing to hide here. This was theirs alone.
They finally finished their escapades in the kitchen and Vivian was resting with her butt on the counter. Instead of tiring the two of them were wired. Adrenaline was speeding down their veins.
Gabriel hadn't moved from his position inside his mate, standing, and his arms on either side of the counter, "ready for our first run with the pack in our new territory?"
Vivian nodded, wanting to go for a run but not wanting to move from their position. They broke apart though and dressed minimally, calling their pack for a run.
It was an amazing sight as the doors to the inn opened and people ran from the inside, towards the sweet night, shifting into magnificent wolves as they did so. Vivian and Gabriel were at the head of the pack, learning the land as they went too.
Afterwards it was about seven a.m. in the morning as they rounded back inside the inn. Vivian and Gabriel collapsed on their bed in a tangle of fur, skin, and limbs.
Gabriel had worked his arms around Vivian, resting his head in her hair, taking in her scent.
"Have you decided how much longer yet?" He mumbled lazily into her ear, his deep voice and hot breath causing chill bumps to rise on Vivian's body.
Vivian groaned, she knew what conversation he was referring to. Normally, in a pack of Loup garoux such as them, it was custom for the mated alpha's to produce offspring sometime soon after they had mated, to carry on their blood.
"Gabriel," Vivian began, trying to word it correctly, "Like I said, after I graduate so I can have more time to take care of them."
"You could always take time off." Gabriel pleaded as he kissed the nape of her neck tenderly.
"Later." Vivian ordered, becoming aggravated at his persistence.
Black fur took the place of his flesh and soon he was his enormous wolf self, splayed out across the bed with his belly to her. He whined like a puppy, which, in a way, shocked Vivian.
"Big bad Gabriel resorted to begging?" Vivian teased and rubbed behind his ears.
He growled and that frightened Vivian a little but she'd never show it. She could smell his desire to make pups.
"Damn, you never give up huh?" Vivian questioned as she stood.
That big bad alpha male shook his large canine head no so Vivian stood and chose that time to use their bathroom, careful to lock the door behind her. Gabriel probably wouldn't use condoms that night and Vivian faintly wondered about earlier when they had made love. Had he used one then? She wondered how long he had been plotting this. She wasn't ready although it was required above all else that she do so quickly.
There was whimpering at the door and Vivian glared, pissed. He knows better than that, that arrogant jerk. He's playing low when he knows all he'd have to do is order me, well I'm not falling for it. Stupid alpha, trying to butter me up by playing nice when it's all a charade. He thinks I will fall for it but I won't.
His voice game from beyond the door, "Vivie I wanted to be in there when you took your first bath in there."
"Not tonight wolf-man, you won't trick me." Vivian called out as she took in the sight of the beautiful bathroom.
The tub was enormous and suddenly Vivian was wishing he was in there with her. It would be lonely without him.
A thought crossed her mind though, 'what if some other bitch mated with him for pups before she did?' Vivian let loose a growl, she wouldn't let that happen. Just one more year of school and she could start her family with him, but why was he so impatient? Vivian chalked it up to the excitement of a new home, that and large families ran in Gabriel's blood line. He had three sisters and one brother, the brother of whom their family didn't speak of. Vivian shrugged it off and let the steamy water consume her.
When she finally exited the shower she saw her mom in her room instead of Gabriel.
"Beautiful room," Esme commented, "Minus the stench of sex that literally takes up the whole suite." Esme wagged her eyebrows and grinned.
Vivian laughed, "Gabe did good with the room mom, and you were young once."
Esme looked exasperated, "I'm still young now." She paused, "but I'm glad to see you happy," Esme spoke quietly, the pride evident on her beautiful features, "I know that we haven't had much time to talk since that night, but things are going to get better between us."
Vivian thought for a moment then spoke seriously, "What's that saying mom? As children we want all of our parent's attention, as teens we want them to leave us alone, and then as adults they become our best friends and then we leave, but I'll always be around mom. Dad left us so we have to stick together always."
"You are becoming quite the alpha too Vivian, soon you'll have your own pups to chase after." Esme implied.
Vivian growled, "Is that what's on everyone's minds? Gabriel wants them now."
"So why are you holding back?" Esme questioned.
Vivian snarled, "Mom, have you lost your head? I'm a senior in high school. I'm not ready and I don't have the time. Mom, you had me after dad and you were out of school. You had enough free time to take care of me. When I want pups I want to be able to spend all of my time with them. Just leave me alone until I'm ready. I do not want to be pressured."
"Baby you are so much more mature than I was at your age, you will make the right decisions. I know it." Esme spoke as though reassuring herself.
A knock on the door brought Gabriel back inside, and Esme headed out. He raised his eyebrows. "What was that about?"
"Nothing," Vivian grumbled and pulled the bed sheets back, crawling under them, "and keep your paws to yourself."
