Only Because I Have To

Naida || 23 || Witch

“Don’t we all?” Cierra asked, smiling at the witch. When Naida leaned in to kiss her, she returned it happily. Now that she was free of the fear that Naida would hate her, she was able to enjoy being with her fiancee. “That’s good, because I’m head-over-heels for you.” She didn’t plan on falling for Naida, but she had.

“Some people don’t.  Those are the most annoying of people.”  Naida laughed softly, staying close to her fiance.  Things felt different, more comfortable between the two of them now that Cierra had let her guard down.  Perhaps it was time for Naida to as well.  “Really?’  She looked at the woman in surprise, not expecting reciprocation.  She was admired, and lusted after, but none had ever been “head over heels” or at least no one had told her such.

“I wouldn’t call it stuck, exactly” said Cierra with a chuckle. “That sort of implies this is a bad thing, which it certainly isn’t.” She might have felt that way before, but she didn’t now. Then she shook her head. “I would never do that” she promised. Her hunting days were far behind her now. Besides, she doubted the Stone family were the sort to have ended up on her radar anyway. They sounded way too nice.

“Eh, I can have some bad habits too I’m sure.  you’ll get tired of me eventually.”  Naida smirked and leaned in, letting herself give the woman a long, slow kiss.  “I know darling.  Just trying to reassure you.  You’ve got yourself a witch that’s rather smitten with you.  Not going anywhere.”

Cierra loved the way Naida’s lips felt on her own. They were soft, but the kiss still made her feel like every cell in her body was on fire. When the kiss broke, she smiled back at the witch. “That’s good to know, because I’d like to keep you around for a while” she said. “I definitely intend for our wedding to be fun and happy.” If anybody caused drama on their wedding day, she’d chew them out. Just hopefully not in the literal sense.

“You’re stuck with me for as long as you’ll put up with me my dear.”  Naida giggled a little and looked at the werewolf happily. “Just know, nothing besides killing my family or something will make me run off.  I don’t give up on people for past decisions.”

“Its a huge relief” said Cierra. “I’ve been worrying about how to tell you this ever since our picnic.” She was worried that if she’d kept it bottled up inside any longer, the stress would start having physical effects. “And I’m glad to hear you won’t be shunning me” she added with a small chuckle. “That would make for one awkward wedding.”

Unable to resist the witch leaned in and kissed the wolf softly, smiling at her when she broke it.  “I’m glad you did.  Even if it was just to relieve your stress.  But you’re definitely not getting rid of me that easily.” Naida grinned a bit before nodding “and our wedding certainly isn’t allowed to be awkward.  Only fun and happy with small bits of awkward.”

Cierra felt a huge weight lift from her chest. At least Naida didn’t hate her. That would have been awful, considering they were going to be spending the rest of their lives married. She smiled widely when the witch mentioned how much she cared about her. “You’re definitely up there with my family” she confirmed. “And I’m glad I have your trust. I trust you too.” She hadn’t wanted to at first, but Naida was so outgoing and kind that she’d crept up on the werewolf. “You’re the first person I’ve cared about outside of my family in a long time.”

“Same.”  Naida nodded, keeping her trust to a very small few.  But Cierra had proven herself kind and sweet, and the playful witch was rather enamored of her.  “I’m glad you told me though. One less thing for you to worry about. I won’t be shunning you for anything anytime soon.”

Cierra smiled with relief, glad to know her betrothed didn’t hate her. Shaking her head, she said “I stopped hunting after my first full moon.” She could no longer bring herself to do it, for one thing. Not after the pain of her first transformation. For another, if anyone in the hunting community had figured out she was no a werewolf, they’d likely target her. She felt her heart lift when Naida mentioned the word love, and gently squeezed the witch’s hand. “I feel the same about you” she said, her smile growing. “I care about you more than I have about anybody in a very long time.”

“That’s good.  It would certainly complicate things just a touch, but no, I’d never hate you Cierra.”  Naida squeezed the werewolf’s hand back, smiling at her brightly.  “Yeah?  Me too.  You’re right up there on my priorities list with my sister and my aunt...and that’s about my list.  I don’t let too many people fully into my life and with you...I trust you.  You’re different.”

Cierra was taken aback by Naida’s reaction. Whatever she’d been expecting from her betrothed, that wasn’t it. “So you don’t hate me?” she blurted out in surprise. Then, after taking a second to recover, she said “I was pretty good with a crossbow.” It wasn’t the most popular weapon for hunting (that seemed to be a shotgun) but it had been good enough for Buffy Summers, so she’d decided it was good enough for her. Shaking her head, she added “I never did find out who killed her.” It was part of why she’d hated the supernatural. If she’d known who killed her girlfriend, she would have had a single person to focus her anger on. Instead, she’d taken it out on an entire group of people. Taking a deep breath, a small smile formed on her face. “I’ve been so worried about this ever since I got here” she said. That her betrothed wasn’t furious with her was a huge relief.

“Hate you?”  Naida smiled a bit, continuing to hold Cierra’s gaze honestly as she responded.  “Of course I don’t hate you.  I don’t know that I hate anyone.  You becoming a hunter makes sense, your love was killed and you wanted vengeance.  It’d be a little concerning if you were still a hunter, but I’m gonna guess you’re not as I’m not dead and I’ve given you plenty of opportunity.”  The witch took her wolf by the hand, still looking at her face.  She’d carried such a burden for so long that Naida couldn’t help but feel for her. “I definitely don’t hate you Cierra.  The feelings I have for you are much closer to love than hate.  No reason to fret.”

Hearing Naida say she was sorry just made Cierra feel more guilty. Guilty that she’d kept this a secret for so long and guilty for the bombshell she was about to drop on her now.  “But after I found out about how she was killed, I became angry” continued Cierra. “Instead of moving on, I decided to become a hunter.” She sighed, feeling some of the weight lifting from her chest at those words. She’d never told anybody that. “That’s what I was doing the night I was bitten. I was out hunting a werewolf.” As she finished speaking, she lifted her face to sneak a look at her fiancee.

Naida listened patiently, worried that her former lover hadn’t actually died or something else had happened to make her realize she hated witches and they weren’t compatible.  But hearing that the other had turned to hunting the supernatural after the death of her love didn’t come as much of a surprise, knowing she’d hunt down any monster if it’d hurt her sister or someone else she cared for.  When Cierra finished talking she was almost waiting for something else, only realizing when the woman gave her that nervous look that the wolf was worried about her reaction about it.  Without hesitation the woman set her glass down and knelt down in front of her fiance, wanting to be closer and to look at her.  “Okay.  Did you have a cool signature weapon or something? Did you ever kill the wolf that had hurt her?”  Naida really wasn’t bothered, never one to judge another’s life choices even if it involved death.  And vengeance made sense!  At least she wasn’t a sociopath or something about it.

Cierra took a long swig of her whisky, both to help steady her nerves and to help buy herself time. “Its about how I got turned into a werewolf” she began, unable to look Naida in the eyes. “And its kind of a long story, now that I think about it.” She sighed, rubbing her temples. “A few years ago, I met this girl. And I loved her.” It was weird, talking about her old love with her fiancee. “But then she died. And afterwards I found out from a mutual friend that she was killed by a werewolf.”

“Okay.”  Naida was silent, just letting the woman talk.  She wasn’t sure where she was going with this, or why she was so nervous, but the woman let her talk, listening intently.  “Oh..that’s dreadful. I’m so sorry Cierra.”  She wanted to hug her but stopped herself, gesturing. “Sorry.  Please continue,:

Cierra doubted Naida would be so happy to see her once she’d heard the truth. “Why don’t you take a seat?” she suggested as she closed the door to the hotel room. Sitting down on the couch, she began to pour them both a drink. When she was done, she pushed the unused glass towards her betrothed and took a sip from her own. Then she said “So there’s something I’ve been meaning to talk to you about.” She began playing with a loose thread on her jeans, something she did when she got nervous. “And once you hear it, I’ll understand if you never want to see me again.”

Naida’s smile dimmed a little bit, now worried about her fiance.  The silence was unusual, and she seemed on edge.  The witch was immediately trying to figure out what she’d said or done wrong...she hadn’t even flirted with anyone else in a really long time.  However, she took the glass and her seat, crossing her legs under her and studying Cierra closely.  “Never see you again?  Cierra, what’s wrong?”

Cierra sat in her room, drinking a glass of bourbon. She needed the alcohol to steady her nerves for the conversation she was about to have with Naida. She’d invited her betrothed over to her room tonight. But what she hadn’t told the witch was the reason why. She’d decided it was time to tell Naida the truth about her past. Namely, about the fact that she used to be a hunter. It might cost her the other woman’s affections, but she couldn’t live with the lie anymore. Just as she was polishing off the glass, she heard a knock on her door. Opening it, she saw Naida standing there. In spite of the nerves she felt, she smiled when she saw her fiancee. Somehow the witch just had that effect on her. “Come in” she said, holding the door ajar wide enough for the other woman to enter. “Thanks for coming over. Would you like a drink?” She gestured towards the open bottle of whiskey and the two glasses (one used) next to it.

Naida had responded immediately to Cierra’s invitation with a responding yes, the witch finding herself wanting to be with her bride to be more and more.  She was knocking on the door within minutes, and then her gorgeous fiance was in the doorway smiling at her.  It always made Naida melt a little, seeing her face and the happiness just to her.  “Of course! No need to thank me beautiful.  I’ll jump at any chance to see you.  And sure!  Whiskey sounds good.”

“Ah, they know me too well!  I am always down for a party!”  Naida laughed, leaning against the rail of the boat.  “Even if it’s a short one.”

Nye: Okay, so I'm finally giving this Netflix a go.

Nye: Have you any recommendations? I'm going to need them.

Naida: Stranger Things. Daredevil. Nailed It.

Naida: Wait, who even is this?

Cierra was happy when Nadia stayed close to her. She didn’t want to be apart from the witch right now. “Tell you what” she began. “How about we take all this stuff back to my room and watch the fireworks from there?” She wanted Naida to herself right now, and there were way too many people around for her liking. Hopefully they’d get to make some fireworks of their own while they were there. “Not that I don’t appreciate all the effort you went to” she added quickly. “But it might be more fun to do this alone.”

Naida nodded immediately, jumping at the chance to be alone with the woman. She was still jittery from just the soft touch, and the idea of having to sit on this blanket and not jump her bones was nearly painful to dwell on. “Oh no, no offense taken.  I would love to take this back to your place.”

Cierra blushed again and nodded her head.  “I like that. It makes it more…special” she said. It had been a long time since she felt romantic towards anybody she slept with, so the idea excited her. “At least, that’s how I feel about it.” She felt butterflies in her stomach when Naida reached out and touched her. The chemistry between them was almost electric. “As long as nobody got hurt. That’s the important part, right?” Looking back, Cierra realized how lucky she was she hadn’t hurt anybody during her first months as a werewolf.

“I’d like it to be.”  Naida was surprised at the energy she felt between them when she made her affectionate gesture, not expecting it to feel so intimate.  “Right...” She bit her lip a little, right then just wanting to be alone with her fiance, preferably in a bedroom.  The witch stayed closer to the other woman, but settled, not wanting to push it even if her stomach was doing flips around the other girl.  She never felt giddy like this and she didn’t know what to do with it.  “Non injuries are important.”

“All you had to do is ask” said Cierra with a wide grin. She was still adjusting to being a werewolf, but she had to admit, the sex was much better since being bitten. Not that she’d seized the chance to have sex with anybody but herself, but even that had been better. With a laugh, she said “That sounds dangerous. But if I was a witch, I’d have been tempted to do the same to some of my exes.”

“Maybe so, but I also didn’t want to rush there?  Like...that’s usually all I am.  I spread my legs, I take pleasure and I give it, then I’m done.  And I..well.  I wanted to be sure there was more feeling than that.”  Naida looked at the other girl through her lashes before reaching over to push a bit of hair out of Cierra’s face.  Laughing at the concern, she shrugged. “Maybe so, but I don’t think I had any huge messups.  And seriously, it was amazing.  Questionable morals, yes.  But It didn’t hurt anybody I like to think.”

Cierra laughed again. “Okay, maybe not” she said. “Forget that amendment.” She winked at Naida, glad the witch was the flirty sort. It made getting to know each other easier. Possibly on multiple levels. “This is true. I imagine that’s especially possible in a place as big as New York.” Cierra had never been to New York City, but she’d seen enough movies and TV shows to know it was huge. 

“Fantastic. Cause you’ve no idea how badly I’ve wanted to get your clothes off.”  Naida smirked softly, absolutely serious.  Her fiance was sexy as hell, and the witch really wanted to get to that intimacy without forcing the issue.  “Oh, it’s entirely possible.  Or I’d just use magic and make them forget me if they were too nagging.  Cheating I know, but it was just...easier.  I only did that to the aggressive ones though.”
