Yeah, it's been a long wait and for that I'm sorry. As an apology I decided to post twice and let you all know I won't be updating for another week because I have studying and finals to get done. Yeehoo, I love my finals...not really. I was being sarcastic. Anywho, I would appreciate it if you leave a separate review for each chapter. Please & thank you! By the way, I've taken notice of questions from guests and since I can't answer any way than here that's what I'll do. 'The Maker' as they say is like 'God' for them. So they would say 'Oh my Maker' instead of 'Oh my God'. Get it? Hope that answers that guest's question. Enjoy!

After Jade tackled me, torturing me with tickles so much I almost passed out, we had to stop so I could regulate my breathing and then help haul the bags upstairs to my room. I kept giggling every once in a while, causing Jade to raise an amused brow at me. I couldn't help it though. I was feeling light and happy, the combination of getting out some of my energy and being with Jade again, having a positive effect on me. We entered my room and Jade tossed both her bags in the corner by my desk.
"Ugh, time to start homework. I see no reason to, but whatever. Here, I managed to get your homework," Jade informed me, crouching down to dig in her bag and pull out a handful of papers. I took them from her and then sat down at my desk. I set my bag next to me before spreading out the papers so I could see.
"Not too bad," I commented casually. Jade glanced over at me with an incredulous expression.
"Not too bad? Look at all this! I don't see why I have to do any of this!" she exclaimed, yanking out the many papers to stand and wave them in my face. I laughed and pushed them away, standing so I could stretch.
"Be lucky Sikowitz doesn't give homework. I'm going to take a quick shower, and when I get out, we're going to sit down and get this done, ok?" I told her, slightly stern. I had a feeling she wouldn't agree but I hoped she would.
"I still don't want to but what else is there to do? We're kind of stuck here," she answered with a shrug. I sighed and rolled my eyes, walking back over to her so I could press a tender kiss to her lips. Maybe she'll listen to reason now.
"Relax, Jade. No matter how complicated the world gets, we still have the simple things to take care of too. We'll start there and work our way up," I told her encouragingly. She nodded, a sign she was at least listening.
"Good, now seriously, relax. I'll be right back," I said, moving to scoop up my pajamas before leaving the room. Maybe once we got the small tasks out of the way we could get something to eat and watch a movie. Just kick back for a while. Anything simple that gave us time to take a break from this constant activity was welcome.
~Jade~
I groaned and moved to retrieve my own pajamas from my duffel bag. I got dressed and then flopped on Tori's bed. I stared at the ceiling for what felt like a long time until I grew tired of that. I got up to sort out my homework for the day then resigned myself to the work. I worked through it as fast as I could, not understanding some concepts but fighting through that for the sake of getting it out of the way. By the time Tori came back in I was almost done. She tossed her dirty clothes into the hamper tucked away in her closet and then walked toward me to lean over my shoulder, a hand reaching over me to point out an algebraic equation hastily scribbled across my paper.
"You forgot the negative sign here. It's going to screw you over by the end of the problem," she told me softly. I glanced up at her before grumbling my thanks. I did as she suggested, and suddenly, the problem seemed to resolve itself.
"Well someone's a brainiac at math," I commented playfully, looking up at her over my shoulder. She smiled and gave a simple shrug.
"Math comes naturally to me. I was always good at it," she replied humbly.
"As for literature and language arts…" I began, purposefully leaving the sentence open for interpretation. A small frown appeared, her shoulders falling slightly.
"I don't do so well with," she said, finishing the sentence sadly. I chuckled and shook my head.
"Lucky for you, I excel at that. So, I'll tell you what, you get over here and tutor me in math and I'll give you pointers that will help improve your writing guaranteed," I wagered. Her smile returned as she nodded her agreement. She slipped onto my lap and made herself comfortable. I dropped my pencil to wrap my arms around her waist. I rested my chin on her shoulder, my eyes on the paper in front of us.
"Pay attention and don't get too comfortable," she warned me. I only grunted my acknowledgment before she began going over the problems. When it came time to apply her teachings I didn't let her get up. Instead, I held her against me with my left arm around her waist while my right was busy jotting down the problems. I might not catch on to math at first but I was a quick learner. It helped that I was willing to try harder for Tori. I finished swiftly and efficiently while Tori watched, her hands idly running over my arm around her waist, down to my hand, and then over my leg. It was only a slight distraction but it was also welcomed. As soon as I was done the math was moved to make room for the many papers, questions, and evaluations, Tori had to complete for our shared class. We took turns helping each other get the work done, and in this way, we finished effortlessly. A major break was now in order.
~Tori~
We went downstairs to eat after finishing the monster load of homework assigned to us. I didn't even want to think about how much more I would have again tomorrow. We took our much needed break to head downstairs and prepare to laze in front of the TV. I entered the kitchen to grab a snack while Jade got comfortable on the couch, memories of all the times the gang crashed at my house to hang out ran through my head. Now it was just me and Jade. I left the kitchen once I had my snack and joined Jade on the couch. I reclined at the end, placing my feet up on the coffee table, Jade's resting in my lap as soon as I sat down. I held my bowl of fruit on her shins, seeing as I had nowhere else to put it. My eyes appraised her relaxed form before going to the screen. I watched whatever Jade decided on, my hand picking out pieces of fruit on auto pilot. I soon caught on that she was alternating between watching me eat and watching what was on, but I could tell her attention was quickly changing to become solely interested in me. Of course, as with most things where Jade was concerned, a competition game of sorts began between us.
I flicked my eyes over to her, grinning when a small smile curled her lips. I tossed the grape I was currently holding in the air and caught it with my mouth, giving her a wink when she raised a brow at my antics. Without a word she sat up and copied my feat. Slowly but surely we were trying to up the scale of skill, and before we knew it, we finished the fruit. We moved on to rough housing with the remote, proving our strength against the other. Jade managed to twist it out of my grip at the last minute. I tackled her, attempting to get it back for no reason other than to get it. The TV was long forgotten. I held her down with one hand and reached for it with my other as she stretched it away from me and out of my reach over her head. I swiped at it again but I couldn't reach while her other arm wound around my waist, effectively keeping me from making any progress towards it. I looked down at her, ready to start whining and complaining that she was being unfair, but my eyes locked with hers. And just like that, the electric energy crackled between us without warning. We froze, our suddenly intense gazes focusing on each other.
"Tell me pup, are you going to have to work out this latest spike running around alone in the woods or are you going to let me take care of you?" she questioned me evenly, her undertone heated.
"I would have happily accepted your help last time but it kind of hit too suddenly and you needed to get to school…" I explained, my sentence fading when I noticed her roll her eyes in what I knew meant that shouldn't have been a factor in my decision.
"I wouldn't have minded it if you took what you wanted anyway. That doesn't matter. We have nothing in our way now," she mumbled, pulling me closer to capture my lips in a kiss that easily spiraled deeper. I groaned and responded ardently. Jade suddenly maneuvered me on my back and pressed me into the couch, tossing the remote on the floor uncaringly.
"Glad you agree," she told me, her intonation conveying the desire she displayed in her sharp blue eyes. The wolf roused from within, making me smirk in anticipation. I was more than willing to show her just what I was capable of.
~Jade~
Tori escaped my negligent grasp on her to reverse our positions just as easily as I had except she had me on my stomach, arms held behind my back, while she sat straddling my waist. I was amazed at her agile speed in which she pulled this off. Her grip on me was firm, a silent but very noticeable indication that I was now under her control. I wasn't going to complain, her newly revealed authority and strength was a complete turn on.
"You sure you won't run away this time?" I taunted her regardless of my position, holding back the moan that wanted to escape me when she tightened her hold on me and her body pressed into mine. I was securely trapped under her now, her lips brushing my cheek as she leaned down to growl in my ear.
"Humor me, Jade. When you want to get hot and heavy I don't question you, but when I feel like it you make the mistake in assuming I'll hesitate," she questioned, her hands further tightening on mine.
"Show it more often and maybe I'll reconsider. As for your hesitation, I don't assume, I know you hesitate because you haven't let the wolf fully free since you came of age. Now that you have the choice to act on your needs, it's driving you to a high you haven't dealt with before and you're unsure. I have to agree it's strange, because, well, this is new to both of us so I understand. I really do, but I still want to experience whatever happens or needs to happen with you. I'm just wondering why this is only coming up now. I thought only the moon triggered this?" I remarked curiously but at the same time trying to get her to give in and accept that part of her she carefully kept locked away.
"The moon does have a profound effect on us but we're animals like everything else. It's spring, and I guarantee you I'm not the only one reacting like this. Other wolves just find random partners to get the bursts of need out of their systems. But I have you, my mate for life, and a vampire who can't get tired," she explained, her voice a seductive purr by the end that made me shiver. So Tori was experiencing a sexual high due to triggering her sex drive during mating season? Fuck, I had no idea whether to celebrate or take some precautions concerning those around us. I was mostly hopeful she didn't get territorial as well. I was dragged back into reality with teeth clenched when Tori pressed into me further, her own teeth nipping at my neck. I couldn't believe I was going to say this, but, I took an unsteady breath of air to tell her to wait.
"Vega. Hey, pup. Tori, hold on. We need to take this somewhere else. Remember what Trina asked?" I mumbled, trying all forms of her name to try and get her attention. When she didn't want to listen and her hands wandered, I decided to use a different tactic. I used brute force to up-seat her, turned around, and then pinned her down. She bared her teeth at me but I just ignored her.
"Come on," I coaxed her, standing and then holding out a hand to help her up. She gripped my hand and I pulled her to her feet. I almost fell over when she used the momentum to try and trap me, but quick thinking allowed me to get out of her hold in time. I stumbled in the direction of the door with her in hot pursuit. I grinned at her flashing gold eyes, knowing I was dealing with the wolf within her now. She was taking my advice and letting go. It was beginning to get interesting. I dodged a few more of her attempts to catch me and bolted for the door once more but she snagged me before I could get far and slammed me to the floor on my stomach.
She sat on me, her clawed left hand on my left shoulder while her right tilted my head up so that my neck was exposed to her. She trailed the tip of her tongue over the sensitive and vulnerable flesh before her teeth replaced it, digging into in my neck. I writhed under her uncontrollably, my body responding to the harsh attack and sending my mind spiraling into arousal. A moan forced its way out at the sensation. I felt her powerful and toned frame grip me in a way that, when combined with her bite, made me feel utterly claimed by her before we even started. I was at her mercy in that moment. I was ready to accept that she needed me, wanted me; mind, body, and soul. I wanted her just as bad. Everything she had to offer and more.
"Fuck, Vic," I snarled, my hands clenched into fists. She pulled away to return to using her tongue until most of the spilled blood was cleaned and the bite sealed back up. I waited for a lull in her tender care on my neck to take the opportunity to escape from her hold on me. I wasted no time rolling her over on her back to hold her against the floor. I stripped her of her shirt and she helped, shoving her pants down so I could pull those off too. I pressed her back onto the floor and then dived in to trail kisses down her body, ending at her hip bone. I bit lightly into the delicate skin there, producing a moan from her, her muscles tensing under my hands. The moan was deep and aroused me further. I might not have wanted to start anything here but it was getting harder to stay focused when my body reacted to her so intensely, namely the way she smelled at the moment. I looked down into her penetrating gaze before an instinct within me took over for the first time since becoming a vampire.
I was no longer human, therefore my body and mind were programmed for actions I had no name for. Raw animal instinct, like the ones demanding Tori's inner wolf to claim me, were coursing through me. She wasn't thinking clearly so it fell to me to relocate while I still had control of my own actions. I smirked at her before slowly backing away. She watched me put space between us, all the while our eyes were locked on each other. I gave her one last taunting smirk before bolting for the door as fast as I could go. I only stopped to fling it open and then I was running down the dark street at top speed. I entered the woods at a location that would lead out to our lake. It didn't take long for Tori to chase after me and eventually catch up. I glanced back to see she had replaced her shirt and pants, if a little messily. The thrill of the chase rushed through me, making me anxious and excited all at once.
Tori let out a howl behind me, the sound almost making me stumble to a halt as it echoed around us, vibrating through me. I glanced back again to see her stripping as she ran, her body transforming the second all clothes left her body. She leaped, two feet leaving the ground only for claws to take their place, her wolf form galloping after me, muzzle open in a pant, eyes focused on me, nose flaring to collect my scent trailing behind me in the breeze. Even in that form I still saw her as my Tori. I burst out of the trees and across the short distance to the lake to run straight for the water. It was time to see just how far she was willing to go. I dived in and continued across, putting powerful strokes into the water to propel me forward and keep a good distance between us. She charged in after me, not needing to fully swim until a few more feet in due to her size and height. However, as soon as she needed to she swam fast.
"Oh shit," I swore, seeing just how fast she was gaining on me. Maker, I'd hate to see a horny alpha male if this was how fierce females got. I swam as fast as I could and quickly ran out the other side. Thundering steps against the ground met my ears soon after. I got a few more feet before Tori caught up. Her outstretched claw caught me by the leg to pull back and trip me. I fell forward but caught myself on my hands and knees. Her grip held firm, so that with just a tug, she dragged me over to her. I struggled to find purchase to slow her progress, but it was futile. She caught me. Her looming figure towered above me. I heard her low growl before her teeth found my left shoulder and dug in deep, effectively holding me still. Suddenly, I felt her teeth shift slightly on my shoulder and a lighter weight pressed me down complete with slick, bare skin. She was back in her human form. Her jaw tightened a little before releasing me. I threw her off but she had me pinned again with ease, this time on my back. She smirked at me, eyes hungry and flashing gold.
"Nice try, Jade," she grunted, securing my hands by the wrists.
"It was worth a shot," I commented calmly, loving every minute of it. It was like nature's way of proving we could keep up with each other and it was exhilarating.
"If you stay still I can get even more fun out of it," she promised darkly, her voice husky and deep. Her clawed hands pawed at my shirt, pulling it off me with minimal damage. My pants were quickly removed next. Her mouth immediately went to work kissing, nipping, sucking, licking, and grazing her teeth up my thigh, her hands following. I moaned and squirmed when she reached my inner thigh, too close for me to remain still anymore. However, she skipped over to continue up my stomach. Her hands made short work of my bra before her hot skin met my newly exposed cold skin, her rough handling pushing me further. Her hips began a steady rhythm against my own to which I copied her movements almost as soon as she began.
She let out a whine of pleasure before tucking her head in the crook of my neck, her hot breath bathing my skin. Her hands dragged down my body before traveling back up to cup my face. Her lips met mine in a kiss full of tongues and teeth which I won. I pulled her closer by the back of her head and finally got to taste her again. My fangs dug into her shoulder, my jaws locking. The moment I broke skin she gave a particularly rough buck against me, tearing a snarl from my throat. Her fingers deftly ran over my hips to pull off the remaining piece of meager clothing I wore. I rolled us over as soon as she got it off. I kept our bodies close so that I could keep the friction between us going.
"Jade," Tori moaned, clinging to me tightly. My hands slid up her slick flesh to begin roaming over her body.
"Are you still in charge Vega, or do you want me to take over?" I taunted her, my voice hoarse from strain but my smirk still in place. She instantly shoved me over, her teeth holding me by the throat just enough to keep me obedient but not enough to damage. I lied there, stunned by the sheer force of will she used against me and how adamant she was to keep me submissive. Her left hand slithered down to press on my waist just as her right followed to fall lower. Her teeth relocated to the crook of my neck where she bit harder and entered me with two fingers at the same time. I cried out as my body arched in an effort to get her to pick up the pace. I didn't have to ask because she did just that. With every thrust and stroke she grunted a growl that had me lost in pleasure. Her fingers frequently ran along my sensitive walls every time they entered and slid out. She relaxed her teeth's hold on me to begin dragging her tongue over the Marks she left behind instead. She licked at the skin below my ear before nibbling at it.
"Scream for me, Jade," she panted in my ear, her voice sultry and just as intoxicating as the rest of her. Her fingers curled in me, causing me to gasp and my hips to lift as my back arched. She pressed me back down and her thumb added to the building pleasure, rubbing leisurely.
"Victoria," I moaned pleadingly, feeling the heated pressure twisting in my abdomen. My hands pulled her face up so that I could kiss her roughly and then tilt her head back to get at more of her neck. She moved against me once more and my hands shot out to dig my nails in her hips. My hand snaked between us and slid over her, my finger plunging into her with as much abandon as she had done to me. She gasped and pressed into my hand before further quickening her pace in me.
"Shit," I ground out, speeding up as well.
"Harder," she grunted in my ear. I eagerly complied. By now we were both panting heavily, our bodies alternately pressing against each other and pulling back to repeat the process. I added another finger, making Tori whimper only for it to turn into a sigh. I worked her tightening walls, and in a few more strokes, she was thrown over the edge. She cried out against my skin, her head tucked close to me. Her body tensed and twitched as she came. I retreated lazily, caressing as I went. She didn't even give her body time to properly recover before she was slipping out of me, sliding down my body, and using her tongue in place of her fingers in a way that had me aching for release. Her hands gripped my thighs tightly to hold me steady as she worked.
My body was so close to giving in, shudders wracking my spine. A particularly thorough swipe of her tongue finally had me unraveling. I screamed her name, my hands turned claws digging into my own palms in an attempt to ride out the waves of euphoria cutting through me as I came. Tori dragged her tongue up my stomach before licking her lips and eyeing me smugly. She leaned up to capture my lips with hers in a languid yet passionate kiss before she pulled away to tend to my palms. They healed quicker with the help of her careful cleaning. She laid down on me after, the sound of our heavy breathing the only thing surrounding us. I held on to her, occasionally running over her smooth sweaty skin.
"That was amazing," she finally stated in awe, making me laugh out loud at the comment.
"It was," I agreed with a nod.
"I didn't mean to hunt you down like that. It's just how I get and the reason I have those restraints. Now you know," she mumbled, the shy Tori Vega I knew shining through again. Gone was the highly sexual predator whose only goal was to satisfy me. I chuckled and ran a hand through her hair.
"Are you kidding me? That was great," I admitted, moving to tilt her head up so I could gaze into her eyes as I said it. She was blushing but that could have still been from the flush in her skin caused by our recent activity.
"Love you," she mumbled tiredly, laying her cheek against my chest, her strong hold on me tightening so that her embrace was snug around my body.
"Love you too my pup," I replied, a grin stretching across my lips. She smiled and raised her head to kiss me before laying back down. I absentmindedly drew patterns on her bare back, just waiting for her to get the rest she needed before we had to head back. Hell, I didn't think she was capable of such a powerful sex drive. She blew my mind. It was way more forceful this time but that was a personal turn on for me so it worked well. I gazed up at the drifting clouds overhead that peeked through the dense trees. I brushed stray strands of hair from my face before running my fingers through Tori's hair again, loving the way it felt. The silky chestnut locks snaked between my fingers as I let my thoughts wander. I was way more than comfortable to move at the moment. I could stay like that forever.
