SCENES
DISCLAIMER: M-X, DON'T OWN THEM. ENJOY!
THE ISSUE IS
Thanks to everyone reading my work! I've enjoyed ALL the reviews ad E- MAILS, and to Lana Lang - I wish I could rent out Brennen also- just for a day^-^
"Shalimar, how many women have you seen him go through in the time that you've known him?" Emma asked, shifting underneath her seatbelt. "As beautiful as he may be, the habits can get pretty ugly sometimes."
"I know, and THAT's why I'm not saying anything." The feral focused on the road gripping the wheel in thought. Why did she have to want him so? ALL of her, animal and human, had intentions for the 6'3", two- hundred- plus pound elemental. If she could figure it out. maybe just find away to deal with the physical desire, maybe then the mental would subside. Like hell it would!
"Shal, what's probably the most serious moment where you nearly lost it around Brennen? And was it possible that he could pick up on your feelings?"
The blonde snatched her head towards Emma sharply. "OH YEAH!"
'That Time' had come after a long mission with Jesse. The feral found it thankfully refreshing to be away from Brennen. But whenever his voice came over the COMM link all rich and thick it its deep charm, her knees trembled. No man had ever made her feel like that- until now.
She remembered getting off the Helix tired in dire need of a shower. The woman could have run to her room right then, but found a strange need to track through the dojo. There in the center, he moved fighting some simulated agents and totally unaware of her. The man only seemed to wear sweat (Even though the large workout pants and white tank were a nice touch.) Shalimar just wanted to wait and watch the sleek executions. He's so large to be so graceful. And so strong to not be feral, she thought. The black hair was slicked back in its drenched state almost curling on the ends. Shalimar had to shake herself just to get moving, and somehow, she managed to get back to her room. In the confines of her space, she tore out of the leather and into a much-needed shower, drowning her thoughts in a bottle of Emma's aromatherapy body wash. It was there that she became calm, and managed to gain control of some side of he emotions. I could be in heat, she thought. But that wasn't possible. If she were then poor her feral side would undoubtedly mark Brennen. The woman washed until her body had gotten enough of the water. Steam barreled around her thickly as the shower opened. Her need for cool air was dominating the one for a towel, causing her to exit into her room. Boy, did she have the timing!
"HE SAW YOU NAKED?!" Emma nearly gasped.
"It WAS an accident." The feral started. "I just picked the wrong time to not wear a towel."
"Well, he left out right?"
The feral smirked back towards the road. "Come on, Em. We are talking about Brennen."
In fact, Brennen was just as frozen as her. He'd come around the corner to say hello, and entered when finding the door unlocked.
"Shal-WHOA!" he snapped as the woman stopped in mid walk. The towel, in her hand dragged limply along the floor till then. Her eyes widened with disbelief. The man found it in him to turn his back, but that was nowhere near the end of the moment. "Shal, I'm so sorry, but the door was-"
"It's okay." She smirked still naked. The woman thought it comical to see him nervous and thus made no attempt to move. He was still in his workout clothes and sweaty at that. The feral smiled to herself, knowing all the trouble she could start. "It was an accident right?"
In that signature Brennen fashion, he lied. "Well, if you really-"
"Brennen!"
"Okay, it was an accident. A nice one but an accident, non the less."
"So," She smirked, enjoying the time to view his nicely constructed backside. "You tried to see me naked?"
"Am I straight?" He chuckled. She made sure to hit him in the head with a pillow. "Okay! Okay! I didn't try to."
"What did you want, Brennen?" she grinned, sitting on the bed.
"You ask me that now?"
"Yeah, man-whore, what do you want?"
At that, he turned back around, only to freeze up again at the sight of her still naked. The man returned to his former pose chuckling. "Are you trying to kill me Shal?"
"Yep, It'll teach you not to stare."
He crossed his arms, causing the broad shoulder and back muscles to strain under his skin. Her fingernails were begging for him. "I wouldn't stare is a certain blonde would put on some clothes."
"It's alright." She replied tucking the towel around her slender form. "Staring is all you'll ever do with me, anyway."
"Don't remind me." he smirked. "Seriously, I just came to say hay, see how your mission went."
She walked over to him, contently studying the curves of his spine and shoulders. "You couldn't ask Jesse."
"Shal, if I just saw Jess the way I saw you, I'd be running right now." The feral moved in front of him, purposely standing in his line of sight. Brennen eyed her almost hungrily. Her tongue so wanted to tease him, with words and actions, but she knew better. He was easily stronger than her-feral or not. That made him all the more exciting.
"So, welcome me back." she grinned.
"The man wrapped sweaty arms around her, pulling the woman into a much wanted hug. "Welcome back." he whispered. Shalimar would have died to stay right there for just a few more moments, but that would have sparked his curiosity. Thus she pulled away.
"Now get out." she grinned. "So I can put on some clothes."
"What? I can't watch that?" he smiled, feeling small hands push him towards the door,
"Nope. You already got your show."
Emma roared with laughter as her friend drove on.
"You know, I could you out. " Shalimar smirked.
"Okay, Okay. I'll stop."
"But you know what it is? That didn't have to be me he saw naked. It could have been any woman he'd been with or wanted to be with. And I didn't want to be on the list."
Emma relaxed back into her concern. "You want to end the list."
"Destroy the list." she added. "But with Brennen, he'll never stop browsing or flirting. That means sooner or alter another 'face' will end up in his bed, replacing the one before. Emma, I don't want to be a 'one time use' thing."
"I understand. But still, you have to wonder if you two did get together, would it really make a difference in his life. And I for one, tend to think it would." The redhead looked back towards the road with purpose. "You just may be what he needs to change."
"Maybe," the blonde exhaled. "I just don't want to be the one he runs all over. Couldn't take it."
"Which is why I said you don't trust him."
"Emma, don't you think that's a stretch?"
"I'll put it this way, you trust him as a friend and a teammate. The man would risk his life for you, but when it comes to your heart, he can't get past the front gate."
The woman again exhaled at her teammate's words. "You got it, Em."
"So what will you do?"
"Same as before, not tell him."
"I'm sorry, Shalimar." the woman replied sitting up. "That's not an option."
