er purrs were a sound he didn't expect to hear but he had quite liked it. It beckoned him to continue on, to go further, and his wolf even seemed to be pushing for it. But Felix was a respectable man. This was not his intentions of slipping into her bedsheets on this faithful night. His intentions were -- unknown at least to him anyways. He felt like he was merely reacting as the strings from the puppet master was being pulled. Fingers twitched as he sat on the pillows beside her, his front half partially over her, wanting to further explore the curves of her body. Sample the delight of her flesh and feel the silky pleasure it had to offer. No less Felix resisted in doing so. Even as he resisted the sleepy feline did not. She purred louder as she pulled his head in with her arm around his neck lifting to nuzzle in. It was weird and he supposed he shouldn't think much of it considering she was practically half awake but it got his thoughts going again. It got the wolf delightfully growling as his tongue slipped over his jowls. He wanted a taste. he wanted teeth into soft skin.

He turned his nose only slightly towards her as he breathed in her scent for that small second and had she stayed any longer he probably would have a bit. His jaws though clamped shut to keep the wolf from slipping out still twitched as did his lips. However she pulled back just in time and in his hazy vision, he looked at her as she seemed to gather a quick revelation of this not being a dream. A small smirk rest on his lips as a brow rose. "The storm on the horizon." he said just as lightning flashed and almost seemed to reflect off his stormy deep gray blue eyes. He had a small few scrapes here and there from his tango with the boss but it wasn't enough to cause him too many problems. "Aren't you excited to see me?" he teased. "You seemed to be." His brows waggled at her clearly ebbing at her seductive moves she had just pulled.


"I am teasing don't get your kitty panties in a twist." though he briefly wondered if she was wearing any. Again he felt the wolf surge a little, could see him twitching his nose as if to catch a sweet smell of her scent. Blinking a few times he went to the question she asked. "Nothings wrong." he whispered. "I suppose I am feeling a bit more reckless than usual. Thought maybe you would be up for a late night prowling." his head tipped to the side. "if not I'm sure I can find someone else to go adventuring with me.... if the kitty is too scared of the storm." Thunder again rumbled and he could feel the vibrations in the flooring even as he sat on the pillows. "It's electrifying and I am energy bound." he wasn't sure how he was since most of his muscles were stiff, sore, and he was tired but at the same time... the scent the air carried made him also feel so alive/

smirk laid itself on his lips again as she denied she was dreaming about him. "Alright. sure, sure." he winked at her before moving on to the presented issue. He wanted to go play in the on coming storm and he wanted her to go with him or rather maybe it was the wolf that wanted her to go with him? he couldn't really tell the difference right now. There was too much pulsating energy surrounding him that he wasn't sure if it was his energy or if it was the wolfs. All he knew was that he had it and he had to release it some how. "He'd probably have my head again." he said pointedly but with a shrug. He wasn't worried about the boss right now. He was worried about missing the storm. It didn't matter that his limbs were hurting or that his face felt a little achy and swollen. The lightning was flashing again speaking of it's approach and he almost wiggled like a pup with anticipation. Her harsh throw of a word merely rolling off his shoulders like she hadn't even said them. She couldn't bring down this high at least not yet.

"Probably but who else wouldn't want to be in my brooding company than a lonely girl who wants my attention." He didn't give any of them attention and if he had he was sure he would end up like the rest of his co-workers. Favoring one more than the other making the girls turn on one another or getting some attachment to them that he would do anything necessary to keep them from doing their job. Even though he may technically already be doing that. However, it wasn't being done out of love or affection. It was done because he felt the need to protect his soft cuddly little bunny. He felt it was his responsibility. "They would if I gave them the chance too and they thought I was an out." he wasn't dumb. He knew when he was trying to be used... Lucia had done it and so have the others.

He flexed his fingers a bit feeling the urge of the wolf right beneath his skin. He was at the surface and he could feel it but he didn't push any further up. Instead, he seemed to be just laying low. The wolf wanted to draw nearer to her as she stood and grabbed her clothing. Even his blue eyes were watching the form of her body that was hugged by the shadows of the room. He felt unlike himself. He felt different some how. "I have." he said cooly but he wasn't talking about the time he nearly swallowed her whole. "When a leopard was running and trying to not get caught and dragged back." He stood to his feet as she was done primping and took a looked towards the window. The clouds starting to build in ferocity as was the wind steadily picking up. Drawing his eyes cooly to her for a moment as she spoke, he smirked. He didn't say anything though but moved towards her for a moment allowing one hand to go down the side of her arm and brush softly towards her hand where he grabbed gently. He tugged her only for a breaths moment as her scent filled his nose.

He was acting peculiar and yet he didn't feel the wolf taking over. It was almost a co-inhabiting.

Cooly he whispered again. "We'll see." and then tugged on her hand to follow him on outside.

Once they snaked their way out of the quarters and were back outside he let go of his light grip from her hand and deeply inhaled the nighttime air. It was freeing. "Don't you wish you could be as free and reckless as the thunder and lightning in a storm?" He asked her. His head was tipped upwards feeling a drop of cool rain every now and then to his hot skin intensifying his nerve endings. Lowering his head again he looked at her. "Come on. I wanna show you what I found." With that he turned on his heel and headed off. "It's just on the outside of the city. Maybe we can beat the storm before it dumps." And started in a jog before breaking out into a brisk high-speed run though being sure he didn't leave her in the dust of course.

It took them a little bit but he slowed down near a few trees and high big rocks. He looked around for a moment moving in and out of the brush before finally finding what he was looking for. "You ready?" he asked her. Quietly approaching her again and grabbing her hand he lead her in through the brush to a hole that went into the ground and underneath the rock. "It had gotten so overgrown I think it was forgotten." Or maybe it was haunted? He didn't really know now care. "Mind the steps though. Their loose." It was about then that the sky opened and buckets of rain poured. He led her down the narrow stairs which seemed like it led down forever before it started to open up into a large open space. Sounds of the rain dripping from an opening in over head could be hear dropping into pools of water that opened into another larger area of water that someone could probably swim in. "Feels like an old ruin that was under ground." He wasn't sure if she would appreciate it or not but it wasn't very often he shared anything with anyone. "It looks like it could go further down that way." he pointed acrossed behind some pillars that were half broken and only a few still studily standing. "But I don't really know where it goes."

is mind felt like it was racing a mile a minute, thoughts overlapping others, and the more it was doing it the more he was finding it hard to concentrate on one thing. Everything moved at highspeed and was slowed down all at the same time. He wasn't sure how he got this way. There was no way that the storm had alone done this to him yet at the same time he couldn't concentrate long enough to fully question his motives here. The sounds of mother earth above them rumbled the stone in the cavern and vibrated the water. He liked the power. The raw unruly force he wished he could harness.

Watching her move around in the cavern, he followed almost in a predators movement -- except he wasn't hunting her. He was more or less mirroring her as she explored keeping perfect amount of distance between them. The water from the hole above them dripped down on to her skinned skin as she coolly let it slid along the curves of her shoulder and instantly it made his pupils constrict. It was like every nerve in his body pulled and the temperature to his core flushed with warmth. Her question fell on deaf ears for a moment as he zoned in on that bit of water. Quietly after a moment like the question finally registered, stormy blue eyes moved up towards hers. "I didn't think cats actually swam." he said. "But no that wasn't my real intention of bringing you down here." his wolf urged him to say more, urged him to take a wild card out of his deck but that is exactly what it was. A wild card. He never knew what was up and what was down when the wolf took control. "Do want to?" he asked completely bypassing where those words could have led him. Eventually, though he pulled his eyes from her and moved them towards their surroundings. It was beautiful and peaceful even with mother earth being a show off above ground.

"I don't want to kill you, Lucia." he said with a roll of his eyes. Even if he was feeling weird and she obviously picking up on it... he knew he didn't have the urge to hurt her. Not like he did the other day. This was different and unexplainable. Eyes peered towards the darkend hallway passed the pillars and he moved up closer to her, peering just over her left shoulder. "Ghosts maybe. I often hear sounds coming from it." His voice was low and rumbling like a growl. A small smile cast upon his face as he looked at her now. "You ever see a ghost?"

”No but you sure can purr like one.” a slight toothy grin was given to her as his brows rose upwards, expression curious but smug. He would be a liar if he said he didn’t like that he made her purr. That purring was for him and for him alone. It was nice that he still had that touch after so long. It helped that electric rushing energy course through him so much stronger. It also made his wolf keener on every little thing she did such as the water dripping over her shoulder. He wanted her to purr again but this time a breathless purr as he held onto her throat between his hands. He was lured in, standing in close just over her shoulder allowing his warm breath to just ghost a crossed cooled flesh.
Her scent was tempting him to step closer.
Inhale deeper. He wanted to lick right along that trail of where the water went and go lower.
Explore the uncharted land that was known as Lucia. Fingers itched to draw closer and feel her skin beneath them but he curled them into fists at his side. Her eyes were soon narrowed in on him but he didn’t flinch away, instead, much like the wolf he welcomed the gaze daringly. ”Then you should be at home.” She then quickly snatched his hand and he willingly followed her to be engulfed by shadow.

Her fingers let go of his the moment that the shadows over took the light and his keen sense kicked into high gear. He wasn’t afraid of the dark nor of the unknown that laid in them. Shadows could play with the minds of its victims and turn sane men crazy. Maybe that was his problem? Maybe he had spent too long in the shadows of his own mind. ”They say your worst fears become real in the dark. You scared?” He crooned to her as he was hot on her heels. The wolf was excited now. She was going into his territory as the shadows were his playground. She could probably see better than he could physically. Cats tended to have a better eyesight in the dark but that didn’t make him all that entirely blind. He could smell her. That sweet smell that he grew to know her as. It was an attractive smell that much he could admit. Blindly he allowed his hand to reach for her hip just to keep himself steady and not trip over anything such as a rock jutting out and he missed. ”How deep you wanna go?” he asked.

.

He ignored the irritation in her voice or the mere body action he could see vaguely in the shadows. He didn’t, at this point in time, care what she thought or felt. It was all a genuine question. He wanted to know what made this cat tick. He knew only small bits of information enough to have been put on a file with her name on it but that didn’t uncover what was really going on. His expression remained solid even in the dark as she moved a ways away from him, asking him what he was afraid of. There wasn’t much but he supposed if he really had to stop and think about it. ”Not being able to come back.” he said. Would she catch what it was that he was meaning? Hopefully she had witnessed the dark soul that he harvested. ”He’s made me lose a lot of things.” He said again. ”And I’m afraid one day, something’s just going to snap and I’m going to be gone.” It wasn’t an unreasonable thing to be afraid of. He had been for as long as he could remember a man of control. He didn’t like losing his shit and once everything calmed back down and he came back to the light having to answer for his wrong deeds. The wolf was a loose cannon and he knew it. It was just easier to avoid and be distant than it was to tangle himself up with someone…. Though he has already made that mistake.

He had gotten himself wrapped around a hybrid out in the woods that he was hiding. A hybrid that was worth a pretty penny and one the boss was infuriated with him for losing. He claimed she was dead upon his arrival and naturally the boss would send out informants to check to see if this information was true. It was only a matter of time he suspected before it was found to be a lie. He would have to move her and probably disappear himself unless of course he really wanted to end up dead for keeping the bosses girl from him.

His hand touched her hip and asked her a casual question however he knew exactly which direction her mind took it. A crafty smile placed upon his lips as she purred yet again. The small hallway causing the sound to literally bounce off the walls, she however stopped again and turned on him forcing his hand slipping a crossed her abdomen to the other hip. He made sure not to remove it not only because he couldn’t see but vague outlines but because he had wanted to do that. Wanting to let his fingers brush along her skin and body just to feel what she was like. Though he didn’t admit to it he was a very physical man. Physical reaction was the quickest way he could actually attach himself to someone. Maybe that was how Larkin slid in. She had kept placing herself against him, continuously touching him, and subconsciously he built a bond with her. Her question was soft against her loud carnal purring and as she moved in closer, he did also except his hand was still the only thing present on her body. He wanted to remain in this breathless suspension for a moment. Let her scent rush through him. ”You are the guide.” he said. He knew she could see him and at the question of whether he was too scared, he shook his head no. ”I wouldn’t want to do anything you wouldn’t approve of first.” Though the first set of words literally meant them walking through the shadows the second lingered on the thought she was playing upon. ”Despite what you may think. I won’t take something unless instructed otherwise.” which wasn’t a lie. He wouldn’t have taken her no matter how beautiful she was if the boss hadn’t instructed him to.

He moved in a little closer, his fingers moving with a lovers touch right up along the side of her body just under her arm. Fingers resting on the curve just above her hip bone. The wolf urged him to lean in closer, to smell, to claim. Ever slightly he did as he was told except not as skin touching as perhaps the wolf wanted. ”But I must admit… You have me curious.” It was a major difference between him and his wolf. His wolf would force, Felix allowed her to decide if she wished to go through with it or not. Would she dare to cross that border? He moved in little closer just inches away from actually reaching her neck but knowing too well not to touch. He wouldn’t. He also knew that the irresistible vein pulsed just in her neck also. He didn’t want to give the wolf the chance to ruin this.

Not yet.

It was a charming notion in believing that she could hold the wolf at bay and that he wouldn't get lost in his own shadows. He however knew better. He knew there was no stopping the changing as he had tried. He had tried to find ways to cope with losing control of his other side. A side that was far more deadlier than he could ever be. Still it felt good to know that she was at least willing to help. Willing to understand he liked the wolf about as much as she did. It made it hard for him to remember that this woman was not his for the taking and though he knew well he shouldn't play with that fire he couldn't help himself. He wanted to get burned. He wanted her to singe his skin and leave her mark. The wolf of course couldn't agree more and as she started to engage with him in his little game he couldnt help but grin ear from ear. His blue eyes almost seemed ignited with this new found 'chase'. She pulled in just close enough to be ghosting him and it left his skin pulling eagerly towards her. He had never thought about touching any of the girls and though Lucia had tried multiple times just to get herself off the hook for something... he never showed interest. But this weird feeling had him pulling and wanting to draw her near. He wanted to hurt her. He wanted to please her. He wanted to be sure he left his mark and she remembered just exactly who had left her breathless and yearning for more.

Her lips teased his just barely touching but enough to make him want it. "Or wolf." he murmured so soft and so low. Crooning to her in such a loving manner. He tipped his head to one side allowing lips to briefly move from brushing her to slip towards her chin, then glide ever so carefully to avoid full contact to her jaw. The more he withheld himself from just taking and allowing the contact between them the more the anticipation was killing him. It would be so pleasuring when he had finally allowed himself the action. As she seemed to be okay with his fast approaching her he eventually allowed his body to know pressed into her own, dropping his lips right to the dip where her neck and shoulder connected. He gave her a love bite, fingers slipping up underneath the fabric to find skin. he clawed a little at it but not in a violent or painful manner more or less kneading her like a kitten would. He moved his lips right under her chin to her throat where he again allowed teeth to softly graze lovingly and delicately. Fingers went down to start tugging on the hem of her pants exposing more skin before allowing his hand to slip in them running up and along her thighs.

There was a deep growl that came from neither of them. It was a growl he hadn't ever heard before and with it came the sound of a voice. "Hey!"

The sound stopped him and he immediately bristled, snapping his head away from Lucia and glaring down into the darkness. Almost in an instinctively protective way, he stuck himself more over her but facing the sound. The growls continued and more chattering started to aid in the sound like many voices at once."We need to head back." he said to her hand grabbing her fingers as he started to back up intentionally bumping into her to get her moving the opposite direction. Whatever it was it didn't want them there and he wouldn't be sticking around to wait and see what it was.
