"Well if you're telling me the truth then I guess I should take you back to your car." I said slightly embarrassed, I turned to Caleb, "I might have kind of kidnapped Kaiba, in a weird harmless way."
Caleb just busted up laughing and I blushed. While Caleb continued his rib slitting laughter I stood back up so I could lead Kaiba back to my car.
"Let me go get some flip-flops and I'll drive you back." I said and started down a hallway.
To my surprise Kaiba started following me, I didn't exactly invite him, but I did not invite him either so I just let him follow behind me. I figured that if he was going to follow me I might as well explain everything that I could about the house.
"That's my office over there," I said and pointed to a set of French doors, "And this is our TV room, we spend most of our time in here on weekends watching football." We walked into a large room and a sectional couch and several gaming chairs, and a large 65' flat screen hanging above a fireplace.
We walked through the TV room and up a set of stairs that let to my room. "Up here is my room… You can come up if you want." I said as I paused on the first step. Kaiba nodded and I continued on my way. We came up to a hallway that had pictures of different mountain regions hanging on the wall and then another set of French doors that led into my room. I opened one of the two doors and walked inside.
"So this is my room you can look around I'm just going to step into the closet to grab my sandals." I said and crossed the large room into my walk in closet. When I came back out Kaiba was inspecting the picture Tea had given me on my bed side table. I just watched Kaiba and walked back across the room to close some blinds.
"Your room is… normal for a werewolf." Kaiba said and set the picture back down.
"Well what is a werewolf's room supposed to look like? I need somewhere to sleep and I prefer my California King bed to a dog bed." I said with a laugh.
"True, just knowing what I know now I figured your house would be different than anyone else." He said embarrassed.
"Well I can open the doors in the house with a push on the walls. We fixed it up so that we can still move around as wolves and not have to mess with pesky door knobs… Come let's go." I said and started back down stairs.
We made it outside when I decided that I didn't feel like driving my Audi back into town. "Hold on give me one second." I said and started running around the other of house to the attached garage. I drove back around in a sleek black Aston Martin DB11, and rolled down the passenger window facing Kaiba.
"You coming?" I asked with a wide grin.
Kaiba smiled softly and opened the door to get inside.
"You like it? I just got it the other day and I hadn't got a chance to really drive it yet." I said and I revved the engine a little. "It's got a V12; I had it imported from Europe. You might want to buckle up."
Suddenly we were going 100MPH down the drive way. When I said I really had the chance to drive it I meant I hadn't had the chance to push it to its limits. We were coming to the end of the drive way so I let off the gas, but just enough to take the turn onto the street like a professional drifter.
"I like this car; I think I'll keep it. I was thinking about giving it to Corey for his 15th birthday but not anymore, she can really handle turns." I turned to look at Kaiba's expression to my driving skills. I was happy to see that I hadn't scared him, he wasn't completely expressionless though.
"I promise I won't wreck, I have excellent reaction timing, and this car is proven to be very responsive. Please don't puke all over the interior though." I said jokingly
"I have nothing to puke up we never got to the dinner part of our dinner." He said a little bitterly
"Oh yeah, sorry about that… We can go back to the house if you're hungry? I really am a good cook, Corey wasn't lying about that." I said apologetically
"It's fine, some other time." He said and smirked.
"I do owe you a redo on tonight I guess, or at least let me cook you dinner sometime. I mean we just exposed ourselves to you, I owe you a lot for not running out on us." I said and turned onto the main highway back downtown.
"How about you let me take you back out to dinner, and this time we will actually get to the food. We can leave the family history behind this time." He said but never made eye contact, just stared out the windshield.
"Okay but clearly not tonight." I with a chuckle and looked down at my attire, "I don't think they would appreciate my shorts, tee-shirt, and flip-flops. I'm not even wearing colors that look good together."
Kaiba looked at me from the corner of his eyes and I could smell roses; the smell of attraction. I smiled and suppressed my giggling.
"You suddenly smell of roses Kaiba." I said as if he would know what that meant. He raised his eyebrows in confused but never said anything back.
We continued in silence, but it wasn't awkward. It was a comfortable silence, I didn't feel the need to strike up a conversation, and instead I turned up the volume on the steering wheel. The car was linked to my phone and began playing my classical music station on Pandora. I swore I could hear Kaiba humming along with a couple of the melodies and I just smiled. We started getting into downtown before I spoke again.
"So am I taking you to your car at the restaurant?" I turned to look at him
"No, to my headquarters is fine. I have more work to do tonight." He said still looking straight ahead.
"Okay it's close to our offices so I think I know how to get there from here." I said and made a left quickly. Kaiba's heart rate jumped a little as I turned to cut across the opposite direction of traffic.
I started laughing, "Kaiba I told you I'm not going to wreck. I couldn't put my car through that I care to much about it. I won't do anything to harm you either; I couldn't live with myself if I did."
Kaiba finally looked over to me to with a look of shock.
"We have a connection remember? I could never deliberately hurt you; everything inside me would stop me before I could. It would take an act of you destroying the connection for me to be able willingly hurt you." I said sweetly
"Like exposing your family as werewolves?" he asked
"Exactly. You would break any connection inside by making me have to perform my alpha duties." I said hopefully hiding my sadness.
"Oh, well in that case your driving is scary." He said and relaxed as the words left his mouth.
I threw back my head and started laughing deep inside from my body.
"Please watch the road!" Kaiba nearly screamed at me
"Sorry, I can sense things around me, I see things differently than you too, and fast movements like cars are processed different in my mind." I said and wiped tears from my eyes. "And like I said this is my first drive in this car, I'm testing her out." I stopped at a stop light behind several cars. Downtown was busy at this time at night because of college kids getting out of classes. As we were stopped at the stop light a group of college guys pulled up next to us in a Chevy Camaro. They were on my side of the car so I turned to look at them. They began trying to get me to roll down my window; thankfully my windows were tinted so it was hard to see inside the car. I obliged and rolled down the window to expose my face to the group in the car.
"Hey baby how you doing tonight?" yelled the passenger.
"You think you can handle that car you got there; I think you should leave the powerful cars to the big boy's sweetheart." The driver said and leaned forward so I could see him.
Little did these boys know the car three behind me was a cop, I could hear his radio dispatching different officers. I decided to have a little fun with these assholes.
"How about I show you how well I can handle this beauty? Let's make it interesting; If you beat me to the 3rd stop light from this one I'll hand over the keys and the car is yours, but If I beat you I get your car. Deal?" I asked as seductively as I could manage while yelling.
The boys in the car all looked to each other all agreeing that it should be easy to take on a girl. "Alright babe you got a deal, but if I win have to go out on a date with me. That way you get to ride in that car of yours when I pick you up." The driver said confidently.
"You got a deal." I said and winked. Clearly they couldn't see Kaiba in the passenger seat. I rolled the windows back up so I could talk to Kaiba.
"You're kidding right? This is stupid…"
"Settle down there is a cop behind us; we aren't going to do anything other than drive normally. You don't know what they smell like, but I have a feeling when that cops pulls them over he is going to find some very interesting drugs and find out they are drunk off their asses." I said and stared at the stop light in front of us. I revved my engine a couple of times to let my new friends that I wasn't messing around. The light turned green and to my pleasure the Camaro peeled out in a cloud of smoke. To their surprise I pulled forward completely normal, and when they looked back to me I saw the look of horror as the cop flipped on his lights and sirens.
"HA! I love when things work out like that." I said as we passed by the Camaro while they were stopped. I rolled down my window and waved. "See I'm not going to purposefully put you in danger." I said and smiled at Kaiba. He just let out a deep breath and chuckled.
We turned into the parking lot at Kaiba Corp. not to long after that and I pulled up to the sidewalk in front of the front doors.
"Is here okay?" I asked
"Yea this is fine I can get in from here." He replied but didn't start to get out.
"Thank you," I said and turned in my seat to face him
"For what?" He asked confused, he stared deep into my eyes.
"For not lying, for promising to keep our secret, for believing that I wasn't going to hurt you while I was a wolf." I said shyly. "We've never had to tell anyone about us before, but I knew I needed to tell you when you said you felt the same thing in the restaurant." I looked up from my hands to see Kaiba still completely calm and look at me. "Can I try something?"
"Depends on what it is, I don't think a wolf is going to fit in here though." He said jokingly
I laughed, "No it has nothing to do with turning into a wolf. Just sit still okay?"
I began to lean forwards slowly, carefully watching Kaiba's body for any signs of distress or nervousness. He remained still and I continued my approach. I was inches from his face with my own, I looked up and down the structure of his face and this closed my eyes and gently placed my lips against his. He didn't recoil but instead his lips slightly parted and formed against mine. The feeling was indescribable, it was like stain was wrapped around my lips and I was being lifted up to the sun. Soon I was leaning further into the kiss and I felt a hand at the side of my face holding me there. Another hand was on my side and I placed my hands at on the back of his neck. His touch was sending electricity through my body, every fine hair on my body was standing on end, and my insides were floating with the feeling of weightlessness. The kiss deepened and my lips parted to let his tongue brush against mine. Soon I felt the wolf inside me rustle and I felt a primal need to control him, to throw him down and take what I wanted. Power surged through and I began to feel dangerous, I was lusting but I was lusting for more than his body, his skin against mine, I wanted blood. I knew if this continued it could turn bad enough that I might hurt him in this primal takeover of feelings. I wanted to hurt him and I wanted him to hurt me in passion. I quickly pulled away breaking the connection between us and the feeling of primitive passion stopped immediately. The windows of the car were fogged over; I knew it was because my body heat wasn't the only thing to blame. I was crouching in the driver seat, my back pressed against the driver's window. I was breathing heavily trying to stop myself from phasing inside my car.
"Are you okay? Your eyes…" Kaiba was looking at me like I was about to break into a million pieces.
I pulled down rearview mirror so I could see my face. My eyes were red, but not my normal blood red when I am a wolf, they were brighter, glowing.
"That wasn't a good idea, I shouldn't have… I'm sorry" I said hiding my face behind a curtain of black hair. "I didn't know what would happen."
"So you didn't feel what I felt?" he asked trying to sooth me
"I felt it and more, much more, and that feeling could have got you hurt if I didn't stop when I did." I said running my hand through my hair pushing my hair back to expose my face again.
"I thought you couldn't purposefully hurt me?" He asked confused.
"I can't, but his wasn't about inflicting pain to hurt you. Werewolves who mate with other werewolves, well their intimacy is very… passionate and strong. It's like clawing backs, pushed up against a wall, hardcore kind of sex, but 10 times more hardcore when you can instantly heal. The best way to describe it is as fucking, not making love. It's the primal wolves in us that like it rough…" I blushed deeply at my description. I didn't dare to look at Kaiba's face. "My inner wolf was latching on to that extremely small part of you that is wolf too, and it wanted to…" I didn't want to say what my inner wolf wanted; I was already embarrassing myself enough.
I stared down at my steering while tracing the wings of the Aston Martin logo with my finger. I soon felt Kaiba's hand tucking a strand of hair behind my ear. I stopped tracing and turned my head to look at him. He just sat there watching me.
"I know you won't hurt me, I probably trust you more than I should seeing I just found out about your inner self a few hours ago now." He said confidently.
I smiled because of the kindness that was in his voice when he said he trusted me. He placed a hand on my shoulder and leaned forwards, I got ridged expecting him to kiss me again, but instead he pulled me towards him and wrapped his arms around me. I relaxed and press my face against his defined chest. I knew Kaiba's sent, I had stood close enough to him out first meeting to get a good whiff, but now with my cheek against the fabric of his suit I could smell he hints of mint from his toothpaste, the subtle hints of mountain air from the fabric softener, and the smell of axe deodorant. I closed my eyes and placed my arms against his chest and held on to the lapels of his suit jacket.
"Is this easier on you?" he asked gently
I couldn't say anything; I didn't want to stop breathing through my nose to reply. Instead I shook my head and let out a soft 'mmhmm'. I listened to his heart for a while and was calmed by its strength and steadiness. I didn't want to let go, but I knew I had to. Once I was calm enough to know I wasn't going to wolf out I gently pushed off his chest and he let go of me.
"Your eyes aren't red anymore, that's good right?" he asked as I adjusted myself to sit in the driver's seat properly.
"Yes, much better than I was a little while ago. Thank you." I said sweetly
I started the engine again and Kaiba opened the door to get out. When he was closing it I rolled down the passenger window.
"So you really are a sweet man outside of the corporate world?" I asked as I ducked to look out the window up at him.
"No I'm not, but something about you makes me a better man." He smiled and walked towards the doors.
I rolled the window up with a wide grin, and speed out of the parking lot. I looked in the rearview mirror to see Kaiba watching me drive through the parking lot, he was shaking his head.
