A few days later
Daine yawned and looked out the window at the forest. She looked at Numair who sat reading with Kit in his lap.
"I miss Brokefang and the pack. I hope they are doing well now." Daine said wistfully thinking of her wolfish friends from long ago. Numair set down his book, Kit chirped angrily, she had been reading too.
"Well, why don't we go see them, its winter now and neither of us have much work," Numair suggested, Daine stared at him open-mouthed.
"What?"
"Most nobles are coming to the palace for the winter and its getting crowded. I know your restless, so am I. I think a trip would do us both good, we would be back in plenty of time for midwinter," Numair, stood and walked over to Daine, who was very surprised, Numair was never spontaneous. She knew he was doing all this for her. She hugged him tightly.
"Numair! I love you," she whispered and kissed him softly.
"I love you too, magelet,," He went to their drawers and got out some clothes.
"Lets hurry and pack, I want to leave before it snows," Daine happily complied.
After a few explanations, a couple hours, and a favor from Tkaa, Daine and Numair were on their way. Kitten, who dreaded the cold decided to stay with Tkaa, she had recently learned to read and was reading anything she could. Daine smiled at the thought.
This is ridiculous you know. It's freezing outside and you and stork man are going to see bunch of wolves. You humans make no sense, Cloud told Daine stubbornly. Daine smiled and patted the pony.
"You didn't have to come you know," Daine told her. Numair looked back at her with a questioning glance.
Who else would keep you out of trouble? Certainly not stork man, he's the one who let you come out here. I wish you two would just have a colt already and maybe then you would come to your senses, Cloud snorted and Daine blushed fiercely, and at the same time was infinitely grateful that Numair could not hear Cloud. Numair rode a tall horse named Albert, good natured, despite being a bit stuck up, but then most horses were. A broad packhorse named Thumpy carried their packs. He kept mostly to himself, but liked Daine well enough. They traveled in companionable silence, soon they would reach Long Lake Pack territory and Daine was bursting with excitement.
"Oh Numair! I'm so glad we came," she reached over and hugged him and Cloud snorted. Numair laughed.
"Me too. I love spending time with you and I must admit I've missed the pack too. Interesting creatures, wolves are," he smiled and straitened himself on Albert's saddle. Daine's hug had made him slip, he was no great horseman. Daine grinned at him and he felt his heart melt. Oh how he loved that girl.
Sometime later they met the pack. All the wolves were happy to see them, even Frostfur. This made Daine curious, but she didn't press the matter, as long as every one was happy. The only pup that still remained with them was Silly. The others had gone to form their own packs.
It's good to see you again Pack sister, Brokefang told her .Daine agreed. They moved to some caves, so as to give Daine, Numair and the horses a more comfortable stay. They build a fire as night fell and the wolves gathered around to warm themselves as the chill wind blew. Daine sat in the circle of Numair's arms. She breathed in his unique smell and kissed his neck. He bent down and kissed her softly. She purred against his mouth. He tasted of mint and spice. Numair ran a hand through her hair. It was so soft, like her lips. And oh her lips were moving so sweetly against his. The pulled apart and smiled at each other. Brokefang, Frostfur, Russet and Short Snout stood and looked at her, their eyes glowing in the firelight.
"They want me to run with them, do you mind?" she looked up at him with softly glowing eyes.
"Of course not Magelet, have fun," he kissed her swiftly and she undressed and changed. Her coat was a smoky brown that matched her hair, she turned to look at him and then ran off. Numair went into the cave, bidding the wolves a goodnight, they looked at him and some barked a reply. He gathered up his extra thick bed roll and extra blanket, he made a few heating stones, but did not conceal himself, because Daine would have to find him and he suspected the wolves would wake if trouble came near.
It was sometime later when Numair felt Daine crawl under the covers, she was cold so he snuggled closer. He fell asleep, but soon felt something tugging at the breeches he wore to sleep.
"What?' he muttered.
"Mmmm Numair, help me with this," Daine said huskily, trying to get his breeches off.
"Daine-" he started, but was cut off as Daine attacked his mouth with hers. She ran her tongue along the inside of his mouth and her hands traced patterns on his chest, Numair was taken aback, Daine was never this.feisty. That's when he realized she was still naked. "Uh Daine are you sure we should do this here? Now?" She pressed her body against his.
"Oh yes, we must, right now, hurry," she pulled off his shirt and rubbed against his chest. Numair liked it, but well, this just wasn't how Daine acted.
"Daine, I think there's something wrong with you. Did something happen during your run?" he tried to ask calmly, but Daine was making it very hard for him. She muttered something. "What?"
"It's mating season," she told him. He groaned, Daine was out of her mind. Turning wolf had made her open to all wolfish desires. It was mating season for them and so naturally when Daine had become a wolf she had been exposed to these needs and it had carried over to her human side. Daine again stretched her body against his.
"Great mating season."Numair muttered, he couldn't do this when she wasn't in her right mind, but how was he going to resist?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~
A/N: Wow this is getting risqué.hehe and a cliffhanger.. oh I AM evil. Poor Daine finally she's awake and willing, but she's out of her mind. What will Numair do?
As always please r/r
