Gray's Fear
Gray-
God help me. I have never been so scared in my life. Two thoughts continue to swirl in my brain since I saw Tala this afternoon. I think I'm in love with Tala. And I think she's in danger. Christ, he didn't know what the fuck he was supposed to do but damned if he'd ever let anything happen to her.
He met her at the cliffs earlier that day and took her on a hike to his favorite spot. It was a small secluded beach, which was only found after a hike through the woods. He was so nervous. He had honestly never really cared about a woman enough to care what she thought, but he found himself desperately wanting to please Tala.
He chatted with her as they hiked. He was dying to ask her a million questions starting with if she realized he was a wolf! Or why was she here? Who turned her? Why was she so skittish? But after that first day he quickly realized she was incredibly uncomfortable when she talked about herself, added to the fact that she was becoming quite the flight risk!
When they finally got to the beach, he started to draw in the sand. He realized he loved making her smile, and his goofiness always seemed to do the trick. They were laughing and joking as he drew shapes in the sand and without realizing it, he drew a heart. He stared down for a moment, then looked into Tala's face.
She was so beautiful. He knew so little about her, but he saw her strength, her fragility and her fear all at once and all he wanted to do was love and protect her from the world. And God, she was gorgeous. She was naked when they met, and that memory would be burned into his brain for the rest of his life.
He stared at her after he drew the heart in the sand, and before he knew what he was doing, he took a step toward Tala, slowly raising his hand. He was so scared that he would scare her off, but as he caressed her cheek, she looked into his eyes and smiled. He kissed her then, half expecting her to run away from him as she did so often, but instead she leaned into him, deepening the kiss. It was the best moment of his entire life. They spent the next few hours kissing and talking, sitting on the beach.
It would have been the best day of his life, but as they headed back through the woods, his heart stopped. It must have come from miles away, but faint on the breeze he caught the scent. Another werewolf….!
