Chaos. Blood. Ripping of flesh and the howls of the wounded.
Kurt jumped into the fray, having shifted in the air and sinking his claws into the back of one of her father's pack members. She lost focus of Kurt after that as they rolled away further into the yard. Her attention was brought forward by her father launching at her. She only had enough time to dodge his charge and then they were twisting.
Teeth ripped into her hind leg and tore into the tendons there. She whined, feeling the bone crack and the blood pool out rapidly. She returned the favor by crushing her fathers hip with her body weight as she slammed him into a tree and pinned him there. They bit at each other's throats, teeth catching fur but not flesh.
She heard the growls of Jake's bear as another wolf came from behind the house to flank him. Marley was unable to turn and fight against her own pack; her wolf not allowing her too. Marley watched on in fear as Jake was being ripped into by the wolves; too slow to defend all of the attacks. Jake was taken down but not without snapping the neck of one of the wolves.
The remaining wolf jumped at Jake but Kurt slammed into him and drove him away from their mates on the front porch. She continued her struggle against her father. She was faster but not by much. He however was stronger and she couldn't match him. She was mostly defending herself and trying to find a way to attack in return but she kept leading him in circles and dodging his bites at claws. She would be doing much better but she could barely put any weight on her hind leg. The more they dodged and jumped, the more she lost blood. She was quickly getting weaker and it was only a matter of seconds until she misstep and her father got her in his teeth.
The howl of pain from Kurt distracted her. She turned her head just in time to see Blaine leap off the porch with a fire poker start beating on the head of the wolf that had its teeth clamped into Kurt's shoulder. She snapped back into the fight with her father as his claws ripped into her chest with enough force to send her toppling backwards, her bleeding leg snapping and twisting beneath her. She howled out in pain and writhed on the ground while trying to get back onto her feet.
She could not let him win. Her mate, her pack, their families, and this entire town counted on them to defeat this threat to all of their safeties. She found the ground beneath her good leg and brought herself back upright. She couldn't dodge him fast enough now. It was a matter of standing her ground and killing him before she was killed.
They circled each other and it allowed them both to access the situation of their pack members. Blaine was holding Kurt's bloody body while the wolf beside them laid on the ground with a fire poker sticking out of its skull. Jake was on his side still as a bear with Marley trying to shake him awake, another dead wolf by his body. Quinn stood next to Brittany on the porch, keeping her mate out of harms way. Another wolf of her father's pack was stalking up to them from the other side of the house to lend its alpha a hand. Her father was clever leaving some of his pack members out of sight to come into the fight fresh.
Her father shot a look back at his remaining pack member and she howled out in warning as that wolf turned around and stalked towards the front porch. She realized what was about to happen and she launched forward, her mates safety her only concern as she tried to run by her father. She was slammed into the ground teeth and claws tearing into her as she watched her father's pack member launch towards the porch right at her mate.
Her howl of anguish was cut off as teeth tore into her throat. The last thing she saw was Quinn shifting and launching herself in front of Brittany's body, the look of terror on Brittany's face clenching at her emotions. Red filled her vision. It was all just red.
Six years later
She snapped awake, flinging forward to an upright state. Her sheets were tangled around her legs, the pale early morning light drifting through the crack in her black out curtains. She bent her knees and rested her elbows on them, breathing deeply to catch her breath. After a few minutes she pulled herself out of bed and padded across the cold hardwood floors of her apartment till she reached her kitchen. She started a pot of coffee needing it to help her wake up and get her day started.
She walked out of her kitchen and turned on the news to check up on the weather again. She was hoping the storm coming in could bypass them or hold off till tomorrow. Today was too important for them all to be locked inside where it would be overly miserable. She'd suffer through it regardless but she would very much rather be outside.
She sank into her worn out couch and sighed as she sipped down her coffee. She hated how quiet her mornings were these days. It was only her. Thinking back on her nightmare and seeing how much things had changed since that day, it made her wolf whine.
The knock at her door snapped her out of her darkening thoughts. She set her cooling coffee on her coffee table and trudged over to the front door. She pulled it open not bother to say anything to Quinn on the other side. She turned back around and kept her eyes on the TV on her way back to the couch.
"Well good morning to you too," Quinn huffed. She came in and closed the door behind her, "You used to be more welcoming when you lived above my garage."
"I'm just focused on watching the news," She replied, plopping back down.
"It's not going to rain so you can stop worrying about that detail," Quinn told her. She finally broke her gaze from the news to watch as Quinn came to sit down on the couch with her.
"That's good," She muttered while reaching for her coffee again.
"Are you nervous?" Quinn asked while squirming in her seat.
"Of course I'm nervous," She shot back. Today was the day. Everything would be changing today.
"You have nothing to be nervous about," Quinn reassured her.
"I know that, but I can't help it. I've been trying to keep it off my mind but I'm so damn lonely here," She huffed and tossed her head back onto the couch.
"Well make it through today and tomorrow will be sunshine and rainbows," Quinn said with a roll of her eyes.
"Out of all of us you should be the darkest, yet you're all chipper when my nerves won't let me be," She groaned.
Quinn chuckled, "That's why I'm your Beta."
"Very true," She replied with a chuckle of her own.
"Want to go for a run before we meet up with the pack?" Quinn asked. Going for a run would be perfect to reel in her nerves. It would also help to let her wolf run wild for a bit to help with her control tonight. She nodded as an answer and downed the rest of her coffee before turning off her TV. Quinn was right, it wasn't going to rain today.
The nice thing about her apartment was she was in the very back of the complex right next to the woods. There was an old walking trail out there that either her neighbors didn't know about or they were all lazy. They took the trail for a few minutes till they reached the hollowed out tree trunk that they stashed their clothes in for situations like this.
Within seconds her skin was vibrating and her wolf was growling in transition. As soon as all four paws hit the ground she was off at a run, Quinn tight on her heels. The nice thing about these woods was that it lead out to their cages so she wasn't running far during her monthly cycles. It was one thing being alone for so long but another having to quickly get to her safe spot before falling into her frenzy. Being this close was the only reason Quinn let her get her own place away from the Fabray's.
Things hadn't been too stressful after her father's attack but the dynamic for everyone changed. But with what happened with Quinn, the Fabray's weren't overly welcoming to her anymore. As soon as they graduated and she got a job at the local bar she moved out on her own. Not having to see her adoptive family all the time helped ease that tension but she definitely didn't show for family functions or holidays.
The running helped clear her mind and when they returned she was ready to get this day underway. Quinn sat on her couch and watched as she had a minor panic attack while searching for an outfit. Most of her clothes were pushed off to the side as her reject selections before she growled in frustration and turned to glare at Quinn. Quinn couldn't contain her smirk as she stood from the couch, walked over and immediately pulled out the outfit she had pictured in her mind wanting to wear but not being able to find it in her closet.
It was minutes after she finished fixing her hair that Blaine and Kurt joined them. "You look amazing Santana," Kurt complimented as they joined Quinn on the couch. She however nodded her head in recognition before she resumed her pacing along her living room floor. Her eyes were glued to the object of her freshly frazzled nerves that rested on her coffee table. Time was ticking down and soon they would all be car pooling to this event that she'd been impatiently but supportive waiting for over the past four years.
"Everything is going to be fine. I don't know why she's freaking out," Kurt commented to Quinn.
"You freaked out the same way. Santana has told me all the times you would come over here and talk her ears off for hours," Blaine joked while poking Kurt in the ribs. Being reminded of that Santana caught a glimpse of Kurt and Blaine's gold bands.
"She's going to say no," Santana snapped finally voicing her fears.
"She won't," Quinn shot back.
"We haven't lived together since Sophomore year in high school Quinn. Hell we haven't seen each other for longer than a day since the summer two years ago. She's not going to say yes. She's going to smile in that sad way when she doesn't know how to hurt someone's feelings. Then I'm going to lose it and the wolf will take over and good luck ever finding me again," She ran her hands through her hair in complete frustration while squeezing her eyes shut in fear and trying her best to catch her breath again.
"Stop. You're freaking out too much now. She's not going to say no. You are mated. Marked. It's amazing that you two have managed this at all. But she's graduating today and everything is finally going to be right for you two," Quinn jumped up from the couch and pulled Santana into a tight hug hoping the contact will calm her down before she shifts and shreds her perfect outfit.
"And if not we'll just taser Brittany and lock her up in your cage until she comes to her senses," Blaine joked.
"All this worrying is for nothing. I know for a fact that Brittany cannot contain her excitement to finally see you again. I talked to her just this morning. Her truck is loaded up with her stuff and ready to move in here with you," Kurt huffed and tossed his hands in the air. He would have kept it a secret but he feared his Alpha might actually lose her mind if this kept up.
"Really?" Santana asked, looking at Kurt with all the hope and doubt in the world.
"I swear on my mate bond," Kurt promised.
She immediately calmed down and Quinn released her from her death grip hug. She shook out her arms and reached for the tiny velvet box. She opened it, taking a look at the ring tucked tightly inside and nodded her head in reassurance to herself.
She snapped the box closed and dropped it back onto the table, "Nope. I can't do it."
Quinn tossed her arms in the air and went back to plop on the couch next to Kurt, "Look, if it doesn't feel right then don't do it now. Either way she's graduating and coming back home. She's moving in with you and you two will have many pups and blah blah blah."
"I just want it to be surprising and perfect and everything she could want it to be," Santana pouted.
"Well it would be surprising tonight since you two haven't seen each other in so long. But I don't doubt it will be perfect and everything she could want since its you whose proposing," Blaine added his thoughts to this moment.
"How about you leave the ring here and not put that pressure on yourself. And if its right, then just ask her," Kurt suggested.
"I shouldn't have bought it," Santana grumbled.
"Well that's not true because then we would be having this conversation in a jewelry store right now and we really don't have time for that," Quinn commented.
The alarm on Quinn's phone went off signaling that it was time for them to start the drive to Brittany's campus. It was going to take five hours to get there and who knows how long to park. They each grabbed their jackets and Santana took another minute to silently debate if she was going to take the ring with her or not. She finally just grabbed it and shoved it into her nightstand drawer. This is what she gets for buying the ring back when they were still juniors in high school. After everything they had survived between her father, Brittany's mother, and Quinn's 'dark' period; she knew that they would survive anything and that was when she'd bought the ring. Not that she really ever had any doubts after they'd marked each other but it seemed as the year passed it was always something they had to overcome to find peace outside of their bedrooms. Then high school graduation rapidly approached and decisions had to be made.
She had stayed in Lima and went to college online while working at the local bar. Brittany had gone off to college to follow her dream. A dream that had been discover when Brittany had to nurse her back to health with Mr. Pierce's help after the Christmas attack and the Alpha challenge. Now that she was a graduate she would be returning to Lima to work as a Veterinarian Technician at her father's practice. Santana had to step aside and let Brittany follow her dreams. For awhile she had gone with Brittany so they wouldn't be apart but she kept distracting Brittany from her classes. She had realized she was holding her mate back and the conversation that followed was one of the hardest she's ever had. To admit to Brittany that she wasn't good for her. To convince Brittany that it was best for her to go back to Lima and let her mate focus on her education and to get to experience the college life. The year that followed was the hardest of her life. To feel the direction of her mate, to always have that pull tugging at her heart. To know what Brittany was feeling and keeping herself from going to campus and having her way with her mate. Not being able to restrengthen their bond and feeling as that connection grew weaker and weaker until Santana couldn't even feel her at all. That had been the worst of the year. For three entire months Quinn had to keep her locked up in her cage. She was very lucky that her boss loved her or she would have been out of a job.
Quinn wouldn't let Brittany see her when she was on break, not at first. Simply because her pack feared that she wouldn't survive her mate leaving again. It was just easier to keep her locked up like an animal. After those months of being lost to her wolf, it took twice as long before she was her human self again in her human body. It was as if she'd lost all progress she'd gained with Brittany finally going out with her. Then she'd gotten to spend time with her mate while Brittany was home for summer vacation. It was as if nothing changed between them. That their had been no distance and they acted as if it wasn't so up until the last day Brittany was in town. Then everything had crumbled again. At that point Quinn had put her foot down and not allowed Santana to see Brittany for more than a day since then. There was still so much to figure out but getting Brittany back would make the world finally spin in the right direction.
"Why are there so many fucking people?" Santana hissed in annoyance. This place was packed to the brim and it was causing her wolf anxiety.
"It is a big college. Doesn't surprise me there are so many here," Blaine commented as they struggled up the stands to find a group of seats so they could all stay together. Eventually they found a section and she was happy for her enhanced sight so she could actually see somewhat better than these people around her.
The wind wasn't too strong so it wasn't too uncomfortable as they sat through the ceremony. When Brittany's name was called and her mate walked across stage she screamed, clapped and whistled. Her hearing picked up on Brittany's family across the stands and a few rows down. It would be interesting when they all went on a hunt for Brittany. Normally she'd bet she'd get to her mate first but even this close she couldn't feel that draw to her mate. It broke her heart even more than it was already broken. What if Brittany met someone? What if it was just a myth that because she'd marked Brittany her mate would never want for anyone else? Had that really been tested? Was distance a factor?
She began to hyperventilate again and struggled in her seat as Kurt wrapped a strong supportive arm around her shoulder. She needed to get to Brittany. She needed her mate in her arms again and their bond strong like it once was. She couldn't survive another day like this, not without her mentality breaking and sending her running on four legs into the woods and never coming back.
The ceremony didn't end fast enough but eventually they were all pushing past the herd of bodies and using the Pierces scent to hunt down where they were. They had managed to find Brittany first and she paused in the crowd, watching as Brittany pulled back from her father's tight embrace. Her smile lit up her entire face, blonde hair in waves down past her shoulders. She could see the sparkle in blue eyes as she was congratulated by her family. Quinn kept a step back but Kurt and Blaine pushed forward and captured Brittany's attention. They pulled her into a tight three way hug and over Kurt's shoulder Brittany caught sight of her.
Her breath caught in her throat and she felt the smile slowly take over her face. The few seconds that passed lasted an eternity and then Brittany was breaking away from Kurt and Blaine quickly telling them 'thank you for coming' before she was running the distance between them. Brittany slammed into her and they wrapped each other tightly with trembling arms.
The smell of peaches overtook her senses and her entire body began to shake. Brittany was in her arms. She was finally getting to hold her mate again. Brittany pulled back, equally shaking and smiled softly. "Hi."
She reached up and brushed some hair back behind Brittany's ear, "Hi."
"I've missed you," Brittany reached up, cupping both of her cheeks.
"I've missed you too," She replied bring her arms to wrap around her mates waist. She pulled them tight together and held her breath as Brittany leaned down and closed the distance between their lips. Their flesh molded together and she breathed sharply through her nose allowing her senses to be swallowed by Brittany. Long fingers dug into her neck keeping her from pulling away, not that she would dare stop this moment. Brittany's body sunk more into hers and she reached up with one arm to pull her closer by the shoulders, her other arm still wrapped tightly around her waist. Their lips parted to take a deep breath before they crashed back together again. Her emotions twirled into a blaze of love, happiness, warmth before settling into a calm she hadn't felt in years.
Someone cleared their throat progressively louder until it caught their attention. Brittany pulled back to find her mother's annoyed look at their reunion. She caught sight of her pack respectfully hanging back with Mr. Pierce and Brittany's sister.
"Now that Brittany has her tongue back," Mrs. Pierce snipped, "We have dinner reservations to get to."
Brittany took her hand, intertwining their fingers. She looked down and smiled. It felt like her world was finally spinning the right direction again.
"Sorry Mom. Which restaurant so I can tell Santana how to get there," Brittany asked turning to her to smile.
"I only made a reservation for four. Santana can see you back in Lima if its so necessary," Mrs. Pierce snapped. Santana tenses as did her pack.
"Mother, we've talked about this. Santana and I are a package deal," Brittany spoke with a hardness to her voice.
"But she broke up with you. Good riddance too," Mrs. Pierce shot her a venomous look.
"We were on a break. We're not now," Brittany explained. Hearing Brittany declare herself as her mate again made her feel so much better about everything despite the fit Mrs. Pierce was currently throwing. Brittany was hers. They were a mated pair again. It was only just a break. Granted they still needed to talk but Brittany was declaring their status and it was perfect.
"Look, I respect Santana for finally seeing the right thing to do and letting you move on to better your life without her. Let's keep on that track. You're going back to Lima to be the best Vet technician there is and to train to take over the family business. Santana here is nothing more than a bartender and can not give you the life that my friends son can. He's a real doctor, you know," Mrs. Pierce ranted.
"Mother, I'm not getting into this now. You can enjoy dinner with Dad and Ash but I'm going home now with my girlfriend," Brittany snapped. She pulled them away from her mother and went towards her family. Brittany hugged her dad and the pack. They made plans to meet tomorrow for lunch to properly celebrate.
"Don't worry about your mother," Mr. Pierce advised pulling Brittany into another hug.
"I'm not. She'll either accept my relationship or not be involved with it. I'll see you at work on Monday," She smiled. Mr. Pierce chuckled and wished them a good weekend. Her pack joined them as they traveled with the dispersing crowd.
"Well that was fun. Sorry about my mother," Brittany apologized to the entire group.
"No need, Britt. So you're officially a wolf doctor now," Kurt joked wrapping his arm around Brittany's shoulders.
"Yep. I can removed those pesky wood splinters you like to get caught in your soft paws," Brittany teased.
"Hey, I have manly wolf paws," Kurt gasped in mock hurt.
"Totally babe. It's why you have me take you to a manicure every week," Blaine joined in on the teasing.
"You two are horrible together. I'm not sure if I'm okay with you coming back now," Kurt tilted up his head in annoyance and tried to keep the smile off his face.
"Oh please, you've been as bad as San," Quinn muttered under her breath. Not without all of them hearing. After all their mates had enhanced hearing from their bonds. Although Brittany had to strain to hear Quinn.
"I've missed you all two. Vet school was hard and I'm so glad to be done and going home," Brittany smiled and looked at her when she said home. Santana was just as glad that her mate was coming back. They could finally reconnect and everything they dreamed of would become reality and not just some haunting nightmare she'd been plagued with.
They reached the parking lot and found Blaines SUV they'd come here in. They all pulled Brittany into a tight hug before loading up in the car. Santana went to hug her too but Brittany laughed and took her hand, "What are you doing silly?"
"I'm riding back with them?" She asked not really sure what was going on.
"Nope, you're riding with me. Or do you not want to? Wait, are you not okay with us? Did something happen on our break? Oh god! Did you pull a Ross?" Brittany slightly panicked which tossed her into one.
"What? NO! I would never cheat on you. I just...it's been so long since we've even seen each other. I didn't want to assume anything but I was hoping we would just get back together right away. But then I thought maybe you met someone while I wasn't here or its weird. Does it feel weird? Did I ruin us by going back to Lima?" She voiced out nearly all her fears in one breath.
"Slow down. Let's just take a breath," Brittany took both her hands and held them between them and smiled. "We are okay. Sure, we have some reconnecting to do but I am still yours. Proudly so," Brittany announced.
She sighed in relief and closed her eyes with a smile. Brittany was still hers. They would be okay. But first they had to get back to Lima and unpack Brittany overloaded truck. She snapped open her eyes in a slight panic, "We're going to live together."
"I was hoping so. I did make sure my box of sexy underwear would be the first we unloaded," Brittany smirked.
Her insides flipped and images of Brittany's black lacy underwear, the last she ever saw Brittany undressed and teasing her, sent a wave of molten lava through her blood till it pumped painfully through her semi erection. Then she realized she hadn't had sex in two years. They hadn't been intimidate in two fucking years! What if it wasn't the same? What if she couldn't remember how to please her mate? What if she lost control?
"We don't have too. We can take as long as we need to be comfortable with each other again," Santana stuttered as her worries took over.
"I think we just need to get back to being us. First step is for us to actually get back home," Brittany teased leaning in to give her a small peck.
"Okay," She whispered against Brittany's lips before kissing her again.
She waved goodbye to her pack and walked hand in hand to Brittany's truck which was parked the furthest away from everything. They only parted hands as they climbed inside and she chuckled with how packed it really was. "I think you've accumulated some things," She joked finding a comfortable way to lay her feet against the box in the floor.
"Maybe. Think you have enough room for me?" Brittany asked with a teasing smile.
"I don't need stuff if we have to make room," She shrugged. Brittany laughed and started up her truck.
They were twenty minutes into the ride back home and not another word was spoken. It wasn't an uncomfortable silence and Santana spent that time starring at Brittany, memorizing everything about her again. Brittany just drove with a smirk and would occasionally look over and leave Santana blushing.
"You are beautiful. Memories of you don't do you justice," She finally broke the silence of her one thought she'd had since they started the trip back.
"I think the same of you. Just a shame I'm driving and can't stare like you are," Brittany teased.
She felt more blood rush to her cheeks but screw it, she was going to keep starring at the one face she's been dying to see for so long.
"I did the right thing, right?" She asked.
Brittany reached out and took her hand in hers, pulling into into her lap and running her thumb over the back of Santana's hand, "Do you think you did the right thing?"
"I was distracting you. You missed two of your midterms because I was in the middle of my cycle. I couldn't stay their with you," She tried to convince Brittany but really she was only trying to convince herself.
"Then you did the right thing. Had you stayed I would have flunked out. That's just a fact. I wasn't focused. I only wanted to get back to my dorm room where I knew you were waiting for me. With you not there, I still thought about you every second but I used my school work as a distraction from you not being there so I wouldn't be sad. I hate that we lost all that time together and that we couldn't really see each other without giving in and tossing away all of our progress. But all that pain was worth it. We're both college graduates and can finally get on with our adult lives. We have the whole future ahead of us," Brittany explained.
"That makes me feel better," Santana admitted. Brittany didn't hold any resentment towards her for leaving her and them taking a break.
"We really are going to be okay. I promise you," Brittany pulled her hand up and kissed it.
"I believe you," She sighed in comfort and happiness.
"So catch me up, how's everything at the bar?" Brittany asked bouncing in her seat a bit.
"Well a few weeks after I graduated last semester I was promoted to Assistant Manager at the bar," She shrugged.
"That's great! Is it everything you hoped for?" Brittany asked looking over at her with pride.
"First thing I did was fire Puck and not because I still hate him for how he treated you in high school. He was letting in the underage girls because they were hot and would blow him after his shift. The next day I hired Jake as his replacement," She smirked, still really proud of that moment and always how pissed Puck was when she sat in her office with that smile after firing him. She wishes she'd recorded it, taken a screen shot, framed it and hung it in her office.
Brittany laughed, "At least that's one good thing of being boss."
"That and I'm not behind the bar getting hit on by all the guys," She shrugged really happy about that.
"Okay, so two really good things," Brittany seconded.
"It's going to be hard working evenings when you will be working days," She stopped herself from pouting. It was a silly thing now that they were adults. They had full time jobs and bills to pay but really they'd only have the mornings if she could manage to wake herself up. She had a feeling her wolf would be wide awake with its mate finally within reach but opposite schedules was going to be tough. It was easy being apart and made the lack of communication between them bearable. Now that they were finally together it wouldn't be so simple. Especially when she finally got the courage to propose and when they started a family. She had great benefits and great pay at the bar but perhaps it was time to look at putting her business degree elsewhere.
"Dad has been talking about have the clinic be open later. I could cover the second shift and we'd have all morning together," Brittany suggested with a shrug.
"We could make that work. I can sleep while your working till I go in. Plus we'll have our days off together," She pondered out load. Nice thing about being a boss, she made her own schedule. Of course she had to cover anything that happened but she could work the hours she wanted. Shame it wasn't open during normal business hours, but then it wouldn't be a bar.
"Every thing is going to work out. We have each other now and that's all that matters," Brittany kissed her hand again with a big smile. She leaned over and kissed Brittany's cheek. They spent the rest of the ride catching up about their friends and what they'd done in their free time. She had mostly sleep or spent time with her pack while Brittany had been a part of a dance club for the school and volunteered at the local shelter for credit hours.
Before she knew it she was giving directions to her neighborhood and then they were pulling up next to her SUV. She was allowed two parking spaces for her unit and she hummed in thought realizing that Brittany's truck had its own spot and that spot was no longer vacant.
"To tired to unload tonight. I really just want to snuggle," Brittany turned to her with a pout.
"Sounds good to me babe," She nodded opening her door and not even realizing she was already back to using pet names. Brittany noticed but she didn't comment. It wouldn't take much for them to get back to where they were and calling each other babe again so casually was a perfect step in that direction.
Santana walked around and helped Brittany out of her truck and held her hand to her front door. She had a ground unit which would make moving Brittany's stuff in so much easier. She reached into her pocket and pulled out an envelop.
"I forgot I had you a present," She handed the envelop over with embarrassment and ducked her head while Brittany ripped open the card and beamed down at the objects that fell in to her hand from within.
"My own keys," Brittany held them up.
"Seemed fitting since you're moving in and all," She shrugged. Brittany rushed forward and pulled her into a passionate kiss that quickly turned to all teeth and tongue. Santana reached behind her and struggled blindly with the locks till she managed to get them inside without breaking contact to much. Brittany dropped her purse by the door and immediately used her free hands to dip underneath Santana's shirt. Sparks exploded underneath her skin at having this contact again. She had wanted to wait before jumping back into sex with her mate but neither of them could possible care about that at this moment.
Her wolf was pawing at her conscious, screaming at her to take her mate and make Brittany her own again. She bit back her control and lifted Brittany into her arms. Long legs wrapped around her waist in a tight grip and she spun them around. She walked blindly to her bed and dropped them both down without reservations.
Brittany reached up and ripped off her shirt before reaching down to rip off her own. She sat back and looked down at toned abs, heaving breast, and the raised mark on Brittany's shoulder. It hadn't faded over time and drew attention to itself. She smiled proudly at her mate that would always be hers, no matter what. They'd proven that.
Her moment of reflection was too long as Brittany bucked her hips up. Long fingers explored over her back before unsnapping her bra and tossing it somewhere in her bedroom. She leaned down, hissing as her nipples brushed against the fabric of Brittany's bra. She reached around, teasingly running her fingers underneath the edge of the material. Brittany's eyes turned into a stormy blue and she knew she was driving her crazy already. It'd had been to long and they both wouldn't survive much more teasing. She unsnapped Brittany's bra and leaned back enough to help her pull it off and toss it somewhere.
While there was space between them Brittany reached down and popped the button on her pants and quickly pulled down her zipper. She reached down and found the zipper to Brittany's skirt and between the both of them they had the rest of their clothes tossed across the room.
She paused, the tip of her member brushing against Brittany's entrance. She breathed in restraint from just plunging into her mate. It had been a long time. "Are you sure?" She asked, having a moment of clarity from her fog of arousal.
"I need to feel you like this again," Brittany panted.
"Are you still on the pill? I don't have any protection," She asked. Sure they planned for kids but it was still way to soon and if Brittany wasn't she would damn well find the strength to put clothes back on and go get some condoms.
"I never stopped taking them. Just in case," Brittany answered.
"Just in case what?" She asked leaning back. Did Brittany have moments where she could have cheated? Had she slept with someone because she was lonely and needed the extra protection?
"In case you couldn't stay away," Brittany answered.
Now she felt foolish for thinking such horrible thoughts. Why had she done this to herself, to them?
"Shh, it's okay. If you had condoms laying around I would have doubts too," Brittany leaned up and kissed her softly.
"I shouldn't have left you. I should have found a better way," She buried her face into the pillow next to them, completely ruining their mood.
"We did what we thought was best. We're both at fault but it doesn't matter anymore. We survived college and we're together now. So please just make love to me," Brittany whispered in her ear. It sent shivers down her spine and she leaned back up and looked deep into Brittany's eyes. Their was love and honestly shining through along with a thick cloud of arousal. Brittany bit her top lip and cupped both of her cheeks before lifting her hips and hissing as Santana's cock moved through her folds.
Her control slipped and she growled just a bit before shaking her head to clear the rising fog. She wanted to be clear minded in this moment. She reached down and guided herself into Brittany's entrance. Wet warmth sucked her in and with little resistance they were fully connected once again. Her wolf sighed in content to be buried within its mate.
She stayed still, memorizing everything about this moment. Brittany pulled her down for another kiss that turned into two, then three. She began moving her hips, her eyes rolling back at finally being surrounded by her mate again. Brittany's walls tightened around her and her arms began to shake from the pleasure of it. It was easy as breathing being intimate again. Every caress, gasp, moan was like following a map back home. Their climaxes washed over them and she collapsed next to Brittany trying to catch her breath.
Brittany turned and curled into her side and she quickly wrapped her arms around her, holding her close. She breathed in their mixed scent. Brittany didn't smell completely like peaches anymore. More like a fruity sex smell with a hint of wolf. They were starting to smell like them again. Her fingers traced patterns over Brittany's shoulder.
"I love you," She whispered, her breathing already evening out as she was falling asleep.
"I love you too," Brittany whispered back.
Authors note:
And now were on to their adult lives. I was going to pick up for their college lives but as I planned what was going to happen to them and what would logically happen I realized that was too much drama and I rather get to the part where they get back together. Also starting back this late we are closer to what a lot of you want to read. Brittana babies and marriage and all that. I know there was some drama in this. I hated to write it but that's how it happened. I look forward to your reviews on here and on tumblr. Also, hit me up with your requests. Now that we've got adult Brittany and Santana we can play even more with them.
