Shaky's POV

Every summer, it didn't matter whether or not I put my bathing suit in my dresser. When I went for it it just wasn't there. When Kate texted me last night about the little pool party that her family was throwing I was excited. When I laid down though I told myself I would just pick it out tomorrow. When that came I had slept in until twelve and now I was stuck looking for the damn thing.

I had already gotten dressed in jeans and a T-shirt, even though for the most part I was just gonna be wearing the bathing suit. Still though I didn't know if we were just going in, or doing something else first. It was unlikely but better safe than sorry. After about twenty minutes of ranting and cursing to myself I finally found it in my closet somehow. I groaned and held onto it as I got ready to go. I grabbed my car keys, wallet, and phone before heading for the front door. Dad had already left for work so there was nobody to say bye to, but as I reached for the door knob there was a knock at the door. I froze for a second and wondered who it could be. Maybe Humphrey came to get me or something?

When I answered the door however I felt my heart sink as I recognized the dark white fur and hair, putting the face and everything else after that. Why was Stephanie here? Other than the obvious reasons now just… wasn't the time. It had been weeks since we last spoke when I was standing on the porch, and Lilly was waiting for me just inside. She stood before me looking nervous with jean shorts and a tank top, the summer air blew which made me pick up her familiar sweet scent. On top of that she had put on had been awhile since I saw her looking more dressed up and less casual. Still, I really didn't know what to say.

"Uh… hey… Stephanie" I greeted awkwardly. I noticed as she bit her lip, trying to figure out what to say next.

"Hey, can we talk?" she asked. I hesitated but nodded. I stepped to the side, letting her come in. I shut the door behind her and then walked over to the couch to take a seat. She however walked over to the reclining chair and sat on the arm of it. "Were you about to head out?" she asked.

"Uh… yeah, yeah. Kate's parents are having a little pool party. I was just on my way out" I answered.

"Oh yeah. Lilly invited me to that a little while ago but I said no. I thought you would be there and… didn't want to ruin the fun. I forgot about that though, I guess I'm lucky I caught you when I did" Stephanie laughed nervously. Honestly it made me feel bad, but I also miss spending time together. Both before and after she left the group.

"Look, I know what you want to talk about. It's not easy for me to stay away from you. I think about you every day" I explained.

"But why? Why do you stay away? I thought it was something I did to upset you, but then over the phone you said it wasn't. You said what we were doing just… wasn't right. It took me some time to realize what you meant, only because it was confusing to me. Why would you sleep with me even after talking about what Angel would want? I still don't get it. Did you change your mind?" Stephanie asked. I squeezed my eyes shut at the mention of Angel's name.

"I… I miss her so much. After my mom I thought I would never recover. But then you guys helped me. You helped me forget for some time, and that grief was replaced with joy in the fact that I still had people that loved me. That cared about me. But then you and Rick happened and you left. The group was different for a while. But then Kate came along, and all the drama happened but through it all I finally found someone I loved. Someone who apparently had a crush on me for years. She loved me for who I was. Something that no other girl I ever dated did. Not only that but she was just… perfect. She was sweet, loving… funny. I'll never get that back. But then she left and it didn't feel like I went through it all over again, because this time it was worse. It was so much worse. But then… the same people came to help me out, and it was tough but they eventually helped me… and then… you came along… you came back… and… and…" I explained but didn't know how to just come out and say it.

"Shaky do you?..." Stephanie started to ask. I looked up and over at her and began to work up the courage to say four words that would clear everything up. I love you Stephanie. I could do this. That wasn't the problem, the problem was who I would be leaving behind. Who I would be forgetting, who I would be replacing. I didn't have to go with it. I could just tell her just so she could know. So that she knew she wasn't the problem. I had to do it for her, not me.

"Stephanie… I know you have feelings for someone else, someone who can never be replaced. We've talked about that. That's why we worked for awhile but… over time, and I think you know this. I… kind of started developing feelings too. It's only natural. So to answer your question Stephanie yes… I-" I went to say but was instantly cut off as my phone began to ring. My heart was racing, and I felt as though I was about to break a sweat, even with the air on. I scoffed, digging my phone out of my pocket.

"Who is it?" Stephanie asked. I looked up to see her looking down at the floor with her ears down. She looked sad which broke my heart. I was so tired of feeling like this. It began to make me feel angry, not with her but with myself. I was so fucking sad and pathetic. She looked from the floor, over to me again, giving me a side glance. We made eye contact for a moment and then I looked at the caller ID. It was Humphrey.

"Humphrey" I said. Stephanie said nothing, letting out a barely audible sigh. I shook my head and then answered the call, putting the phone to my ear. "Yeah?" I greeted.

"Shaky, man. Where are you? Everyone's here except for you" Humphrey said. He sounded concerned but also just a tad impatient. No doubt he wanted me to be there to join in on the fun.

"Um, well I was on my way out but Stephanie just stopped by. I'll be there as soon as I can, okay?" I said as Stephanie walked over and finally sat on the couch next to me.

"Oh shit really? Everything okay?" Humphrey asked.

"Yeah, we'll be fine. We just need to clear some things up" I answered.

"Alright. Well, we'll be here" Humphrey replied. I nodded.

"Okay. later dude" I said before hanging up and tucking my phone back in my pocket.

"You said that it wouldn't be goodbye when we last talked. But since then you've avoided me" Stephanie continued. I stayed silent, not knowing what to say. Eventually guilt made me lie.

"I didn't avoid you-"

"Oh come on, Shakes. I messaged you to see if you were okay… often. You never answered. I had to ask Lilly and Humphrey if you were okay" Stephanie explained. I squeezed my eyes shut again as my ears lowered. I just felt guilty. "Shaky, I only want to know the truth. I care about you" she added as she placed a hand on my leg.

"Stephanie… I meant what I said. I said it wouldn't be goodbye because I didn't want it to be, but I knew that I shouldn't see you again. If I did, my feelings would only grow" I said. I then turned to her and looked her straight in the eye. "I started to love you Stephanie. That's what that was before. I woke up that morning and finally realized what I was feeling. When I did I was scared. Terrified that I would forget about Angel, move on" I said.

"You don't have to move on though. Holy shit Shaky, we have had this conversation already. You don't have to move on, you can still be around me, treat yourself, but if it becomes more than that then… you can love me… you can love me because… I was starting to love you too" Stephanie explained. I felt my expression soften even more than it already was as she said those words.

"You love me?" I asked. She nodded slowly.

"I've said it before, we're in the same boat. But I know your situation is different. So if you don't want me, if you want to stay miserable then just tell me. I'll leave right now and you don't ever have to see me again if you don't want to. No matter what Angel will be waiting for you when the time comes, but until then… until then you have the right to be happy. This is about so much more than a quick moment of pleasure it's… just being happy, not being alone. So just say the words, be truthful and I am gone. No hard feelings" she said, even though there were tears in her eyes, and cracks in her voice.

It might have seemed as though she was trying to encourage me, or steer me to her. Some might see it as manipulative but I knew she was being truthful. What she meant was that she would leave even though it would crush her, and while I knew that the alternative was strong. Happiness, and Angel waiting for me no matter what. But then what about after for her? What then?

"What about after for you Stephanie?" I asked. She shook her head.

"You're all I want right now" she said. I didn't know she felt so strong about me. But we had known each other since we were pups so I guess it was way more strong than the other guy she was seeing before. But I still worried for her. But if I was what made her happy and vice versa then what was the problem? We both wanted each other so why not do what we wanted? Why fight it? I guess I just needed to hear those words. Angel will be there no matter what. But the bond… the time… what if our bond grew stronger? And Angel watched that… it would be more time… more bonding… the thought just killed me. "She still loves you, Shaky" Stephanie added.

I looked at her after she spoke once more and simply stared. It was just silence as we looked into each other's eyes full of hurt. But I couldn't do it anymore. She was right. We both deserved to be happy. Angel wouldn't be forgotten or replaced as said before. Moving things to another level wouldn't change that. It would just make us happy. I know that now.

I leaned forward, instantly scooping up Stephanie's lips with my own, kissing her sweetly. She gasped as she was surprised but kissed me back hungrily. Still keeping it going I moved my body closed to cup her cheeks, deepening the kiss and slipping my tongue into her mouth. She moaned and accepted it, slipping her tongue into my mouth now, and letting me taste her sweet saliva. I shivered, breaking the kiss to give her neck multiple pecks as she nuzzled me.

"Want to move to your bedroom?" she asked. I chuckled and gave her another wet smooch. I missed her so much. I needed her, and was so thankful to have her. I stood up and then helped her to her feet. She giggled and gave me another smooch. I then took her hand and walked happily and quickly to my bedroom.

Once there I shut the door and locked it. I then turned around and was met by the beautiful wolf once more. She cupped my cheeks now and kissed me again and again. We both smiled in between kisses as we walked over to the bed, her walking backwards as I guided her by holding onto her wrists gently. She felt the edge of it hit her legs and stopped. I took a step back to let her sit on it but she seemed surprised as she lost balance, sinking into it.

"Is this a water bed?" she asked. I knelt over and nodded.

"Yeah" I answered.

"Well this is a first '' she said as she lunged at my face again. We kissed each other again as she pulled me on top of her. She spread her warm legs and instantly I began to dry hump her, feeling me penis grow hard. I sucked on her tongue as she licked around the inside of my mouth, rubbing my back. I moaned into the kiss a bit before breaking it to roll off of her and begin taking off my clothes. Stephanie saw this and began removing hers as well. I threw my pants and shirt across the room, and finally when I got to my underwear I pulled them down and looked to my left.

Stephanie was removing her bra which was her last piece of clothing. When she turned to me she took it off but kept her breasts covered with her arm to tease me. She smiled and giggled, making my dick twitch as it craved her. Her soft legs looked so welcoming, and I missed feeling the fur from them wrap around me to hold me close. I shakily exhaled and then pulled my weighted blanket down. Stephanie crawled over and into the bed, turning over to lay on her back. I got into the bed with her as she finally moved her arm, revealing her amazing, juicy and fluffy breasts to me. I chuckled and then began to suckle on one of her nipples. She laid her head back onto the pillow and moaned, licking her lips.

I suckled on them for a bit, giving them wet kisses and licks. I then lifted my head to meet her lips again which she loved. She moaned into the kiss as I shifted my legs between hers. I could feel hers wrap around me, and the heat of her pussy luring me down. I broke the kiss to exhale again with closed eyes. I felt the outline of Stephanie's mouth as she smiled.

"Put it in," she whispered. I gave her lips another peck and then grabbed my penis. Already she was drooling on my bed, wetting it which allowed me to slip right in. We both groaned as I went in deep, realizing that her pussy missed my cock just as much as we missed each other. I felt myself twitch as I lowered my body onto hers. She pulled me into a tight hug and kiss, licking my tongue as I began humping. She moaned as the shifting of the blanket and licking tongues could be heard.

Her pussy clenched down again and again, making a bit of pre cum leak out of me as I felt myself tingle within her. Her hot pussy continued to leak onto my bed, wetting our legs as well as it squeezed me again and again. It wasn't long until I found myself lost in our sweet kiss, to the point where I didn't even feel the pleasure of our humping. I could tell she was lost as well, but that didn't keep her from moaning. Normally she was pretty quiet, but now she was just a bit louder than usual. Probably because she didn't have to worry about anyone hearing us.

I felt her tail sway back and forth, brushing my legs and testicles as they rested on her soft ass. She squeezed my dick again, making me snap out of my trance and break the kiss. I moaned with closed eyes and focused on the humping a bit, working as I tried not to cum. We had probably been going for about five minutes now and I wanted this to last. Most of this was just making out as we had sex, making me realise that not an ounce of her neck was wet with my spit yet. Before I could give her neck kisses she gave my nose a small lick as I was still in my position from breaking the kiss.

I huffed hungrily and then burned my muzzle in her neck. She moaned again, throwing her head into the pillow even more as I licked lovingly. Her hands continued to run up and down my back, giving it light squeezes and occasionally running through my hair. I coated her neck with hot saliva before giving it kisses and then suckling on it. She hummed in please with another clench of her love tunnel. I moaned, feeling myself twitch again. For a second she lifted her legs a little more, making me feel her feet on my butt, but it wasn't long as she got tired, lowering them and instead keeping me close with her hot and sticky thighs again.

Lifted my head from her neck, drool connecting my lip and her neck. She moaned again, moving her head to her right to relax, wetting the pillow as her drool coated neck now pressed against it. As she moved she met my cheek with hers, causing us to nuzzle each other passionately for a few moments as I began humping her deeper. I humped up to get as deep as I could, causing her to moan loudly again. Her cute noises were bringing me closer and closer to my climax. They were already cute and sexy before, but now that they were louder they were even sweeter.

She clenched again, causing me to twitch again inside of her. I moaned again and then stopped nuzzling her to kiss her once more. Yet again I felt her clench down on my dick but this time it was hard and repeatedly. We licked each other's tongues, swapping spit more and more until I couldn't take it any more. I broke the kiss without realizing it, getting lost in pleasure. Our mixture of saliva connected our lips as we broke the kiss by simply opening our mouths. I lifted my head slightly, both of us now moaning and panting into each other's mouths as I gave the final thrusts.

I felt a bead of sweat roll down my forehead, almost falling down on her which made me recognize the familiar feeling of her sweaty breasts. That was my breaking point. I felt my penis retract before shooting a hot line of thick sperm inside of her. We both moaned loudly through open mouths, both of us putting our head up a bit, which for her meant deeper into the pillow. Another hot line of semen shot into her, causing her to clench again and trigger her own release. A warm splash of cum was sprayed out of her, adding to the warm puddle beneath us on the bed. I felt another splash shoot out of her as another hot string of semen shot out of me. Her grip on my back tightened as my grip on her shoulders tightened as well. We continued shooting cum on and in each other until eventually we had nothing more to give and we were left a hot, sweaty mess, panting desperately on each other.

I kept my eyes shut as I smiled, feeling good about what just happened and refreshed. I really needed that. I just laid between her hot body, sweating and attempting to catch my breath, when I felt another hot but this time long and slow lick on my nose, painting it in her hot saliva, feeling and smelling lovely. Finally I opened my eyes to see her looking up at me with her own smile which looked stunning, even with her hair and fur a mess.

"I love you, Shaky," she said. I kept my smile as I tilted my head, looking down at her as I ran my fingers through her soft white hair. It took a second but I put my head down, kissing her again, mixing our saliva as our tongues met one last time. I felt her pussy wink again as our cum continued to leak out of her, my dick still inside her. She ran her fingers through the fur on my back as we kissed, moaning into it. I kept kissing her, trying to get as much as her saliva as I could as I was beginning to love the taste now more than ever. I felt my penis twitch again as it was still hard and the scene was hot. She moaned lovingly as we made out, but finally I broke this kiss, proper this time so there wasn't a line of saliva connecting our lips this time. We opened our eyes again, keeping our smile as I looked down at her again.

"I love you too" I replied, out of breath. We fell asleep not long after.
