Amethyst

by Sharon Barrett

  Raw jumped up ran for down stairs out the front door with Mike, and to the side of the house. Just in time to see Joe coming from the woods. He had blood on his clothes, and looked at Raw, and said in a quivering voice, "I heard the shot I came running. I saw a man rushing through the woods. I shifted into wolf form, and chased after him. He shot at me so I attacked him, and tore out his throat. I didn't mean to kill him I just wanted to stop him."

  Raw spoke softly, "its OK Rain will understand. Your young you wanted to protect the pack. You did what you thought was right at the time. And maybe if you had not killed him, he would have killed you with that gun. Come in the house Joe, we'll get you cleaned up, and then you can tell Rain what happened." Matt walked in with Joe and Raw, with a feeling of this can't be happening. Knowing he would have to keep a closer watch on the house, and it's surrounding area.

  An hour later the man's body was disposed of, buried where no one would ever find him. Musk kegs were a perfect place to get rid of a body. A few weights and he would sink deep into the floating marsh. Some musk kegs were thirty to forty feet down, some even deeper. They found a rifle, and a hand gun near his body. There was also a tape recorder with a woman's voice on it calling Amethyst to come to her.

  When Rain had described the man to Amethyst she said, "His name was Big Red. He works for Mark Hartman. I have no idea what his last name is. But that he was big, mean, nasty person, "I do not think he would bat at eye, at murder." She went on to say "Big Red was here then so is Ray his buddy." Ray was a small man about five feet eight inches has a nasty temper, acts before thinking. The other two men she didn't know anything about without a description of them that might be with Big Red and Ray.

  Pend, Raw, and Matt sitting in Rains office discussing what to do next. Rain spoke up and said "there had been four men at the cabin, and one in side. So we know that Zand wasn't with them that means there are three more men plus Hartman. "We will take them on one at a time. Starting with Ray, if he doesn't think first then his temper will be his down fall. Pend you have Fire, Lilly, Silver and Willow stay here in the main house tonight. Raw, Matt, and I are heading into town to Wylie's bar tomorrow night, and do some drinking. A little celebrating my matting won't hurt any, but we won't over drink. No use in losing control in town. That just would not be worth the fall out. See if we can catch this guy that's staying in Spring Water."

  A knock at the door caused Rains head to come up. In walked Markus, "got the window all closed up with plywood until I can get into town for some glass tomorrow." Then Markus walked back out, and closed the door behind him. "Markus sure is a man of few words." They smiled. The rest of the pack can keep watch here, and keep Amethyst safe."

  Another knock at the door and Kelly opened it stuck her head in and said, "If you do not want to miss your own party Rain then you better come out now." She said with a smile. Turning to Pend she smiled winked at him."

  Well we had better go to the party it's getting later than I had thought it was," Rain laughed. As the men filed into the dining room Rain said he was sorry that they were so busy, and had for gotten about time. Rain taking his seat at the head of the table, Pend stood and said, "A toast to the happy couple, may your lives be filled with happiness and many cubs." Markus stood and said, "And no more missed lunches." Everyone laughed. That seemed to set the mood for the evening.

  The party was fun after dinner everyone headed to the basement. Markus was cuddling Silver in his arms, and talking about their last date. Amethyst thought they made the perfect couple. Markus's black hair, Silvers so blonde and fair seem to go well together, him tall her short. Smitty sat with Fire with his arm around her watching everyone else, and every once in a while she would laugh. Smitty and she were talking in their minds through the mind connection. Sparks and Lilly stood by a small bar that had been erected for the occasion. Everyone once in a while he would lean over her and kiss her. To Amethyst, Lilly could not get enough of Spark's kisses. Joe and the rest of the guys were at the pool table taking turns. Pend was mixing drinks for Rain, and Kelly was putting ice into them. Once Rain had the drinks he headed over to Amethyst. Pend and Kelly took drinks, and sat on the floor. Pend had his back to the wall, and Kelly was between his legs with her back against Pend's chest. Amethyst was surprised that they joined in long enough to leave their bedroom. Then smiled to herself, wondered what it was like to spend so much time making love. The thought make her feel warm inside.

  Kelly in heat, her demands on Pend would be; when, where and how she wanted to mate. Pend went into alpha wolf protection mode. Damn any male coming near his mate; Pend would not leave her for long. In the past when a female went into heat, and the male was not around to service her, she would hunt down a male. Now with the modern ways of doing things this was no longer permitted. The males stuck close to their females.

  Rain handed Amethyst her drink, and said come, she got up from her chair and Rain sat down on the floor with his back to a wall, and Amethyst sat beside him until he pulled her over to sit between his legs like Kelly was with Pend. The lights were turned down until the only lights on were those over the pool table.

  Amethyst realized that Pend, and Rain were much alike. They sat the same way with their females between their legs. They liked the same drinks, sports, and many of the same foods, thinking a like. "No wonder Pend was Rain's beta," she thought.

  Rain moved her hair to the front of her, and kissed her neck. Then Rain flicked his tongue into her ear. She turned red with embarrassment, and looked around but no one was paying any attention to them. She began to relax against Rains chest and he kissed her neck. Rains hand came around her waist pulled her back closer until her butt was up against his male parts. He was hard, and made it clear he wanted her. She quickly drank her drink down. Rain pushed against the back wall lifting her as he stood. "We heading to bed good night everyone, and thank you for the wonderful party."

  "Amethyst whisper they are going to know what we are going to do." He laughed at her innocent embarrassment, and sure enough. Along with some wolf whistles and good wishes Rain turned, and carried her up stairs. Just as Rain reached the top of the cellar steps she saw Kelly, and Pend right behind them. She smiled at them, and winked at Kelly. Kelly winked back and smiled.

  When her and Rain reached the bedroom Amethyst found the glass gone the window boarded up and the room in total darkness. The bed had been turned down; a quilt laid across the hope chest a gift from Fire and Kelly. Setting Amethyst on her feet

  Rain proceeded to remove his clothes walking to the bathroom for a shower with nothing on. Amethyst watch as her mate with his six-pack abs, and tight ass and strong legs moved across the room. The muscles in his back rippled with each step he took.

  Then the bathroom light went on, and Rain turned looked at Amethyst and said, "You can join me you know!"

  Smiling she walked at a slow pace to the bathroom, as she walked she began to slowly take one piece of clothing off at a time then dropped it to the floor. It was like watching a stripper in slow motion teasing with each piece of clothing that landed at her feet. Rain could feel him self growing hard, and when she noticed she smiled, clicked her tongue against the roof of her mouth, and then purred with delight.

  Taking a deep breath he grabbed Amethyst pulled her into the tub, and turned on the water, when the water warmed he stepped into the shower with Amethyst in his arms. Taking the soap he began to wash Amethyst from head to toe. Making sure he paid her breast, and her female parts special attention. As his fingers reached her core she leaned into Rains body. Her eyes were dilated she wanted him. Then he handed her the soap. She looked at it in her hand then she heard him say in her mind, "Wash me."

  She took the soap and rubbed it down his chest and across to his sides. Moving slowly down his body to his male parts she ran her hand with soap over his shaft and it jerked from her touch. Then she moved deeper to the sack that hung down in front of his legs and soaped them up and began to lift them with her hand. Rain's body s
hivered and he grabbed her hand pulled it away rinsing quickly he lifted Amethysts legs placed them around his waist. He stepped out of the tub pushed her back up against the bathroom door entered her quickly and deep. Amethyst purred, and then he began to thrust himself into her over, and over again until Amethyst cried out his name, and her body jerked as the orgasm took away all reason. And still he thrust in to her forcing her to throw back her head, and cry out deeper, more, please more, and her body once again jerked with orgasm and Rain rammed his shaft deep inside her, and spilled his seed within her tunnel. Slowly their breathing returned to normal, Rain kissed her lips then kissed her face. He smiled at her. His shaft was still hard in side of her. And he began to move within her and ten minutes later came in a whirl wind of purring and growling, mixed with moans, groans, and whispered words of love. Rain with Amethyst legs still wrapped around his waste, stepped back into the tub turned on the water, and he set her legs down in the tub. He washed her between her legs making sure to avoid her core. Then she washed him off. Then they toweled off.

  Carrying Amethyst to their bed he laid her down crawled in next to her pulled the covers up, and over them, and watched her as she fall a sleep. Rain thought it would be him who would decide how their love-making would be like, but he realized it was not him, but Amethyst who decided if it was going to fast, and furious, and lustful or slow, and warm mixed with love. He decided he loved that about her. Sex with her wasn't just an experience of satisfaction; it was a deep knowing of ownership, and a connection beyond anything else in the world. Closing his eyes, sleep came instantly.

  Chapter 5

  Amethyst woke to an empty bed, Rains side of the bed was cold, and so he must have left early. She turned and looked at the clock it was seven in the morning. Crawling out of bed she realized she was slightly tender between the legs. She smiled, "her mate was always hungry for her, and it delighted her to tip of her toes to the top of her head. It thrilled her to know that Rain found her so tempting, and a good bed mate. Moving out of the bed she quickly made it, and then headed to the bathroom for a bath. She filled the tub and put some bubble bath in, and then sank deep into the water until nothing was out of the water but her neck and head. After washing she added a little more hot water and closed her eyes. Her body was relaxed some of the tenderness was melting away. Memories of the night flooded her mind; "Rain had woken her three times to make love each time was sweeter than the last; each time she had orgasm several times. Rain was the perfect lover, making sure her needs were met before his." But it left her muscles sore and she was tender between the legs and the hot water felt so, so good. After half an hour in the tub she pulled the plug climbed up, out and dried off. Moving to the dresser she picked up her jeans, and looked at them. "Torn, well OK I will make shorts out of them; it wasn't like I cannot afford a new pair". Going to the bag of clothes that Fire had left her she opened it took out a pair of jeans, they fit to a tee. Then put on her bra pulled out a T-shirt slipped it on. Finding a pair of socks at the bottom of the bag she put them on.

  Heading down stair she was going to turn towards Rains office but the door was open, and no one was inside. She turned headed to the kitchen and found Willow there. Introducing herself to Willow she asked, "Do you happen to know where Rain is?"

  Willow said with a big smile, "yes Rain and some of the boys have gone to see who might be is sneaking around the grounds. You want I will make you something to eat"

  "Just coffee and a couple of pieces of toast will do this morning thank you." Amethyst smiled. After breakfast she headed to the room with the computers in it. Set her laptop up and got on to the internet. Looking up the Globe and Mail she searched the announcement page. Working her way down the page she saw another poem from Putter.

  The flowers sent arrived OK! A bank of flowers is ready to send your way

  Heart of Man charges filed this very day. Decisions I have made worked out OK.

  Putter.

  Amethyst began laughing, than yelling, and cheering with delight. She ran from the room to the kitchen screaming, "Has Rain returned yet Willow?" "No he has not returned that I know of." Rushing out of the kitchen to Rains office she looked in he was not there. Rushing up stairs to her bedroom she grabbed the briefcase then rushed down to Rains office. Willow rushed in, "Are you all right Amethyst she wailed?"

  "Yes oh yes I could not be better." Once Willow left she started laughing again. She sank down into Rains office chair opened the briefcase. She pulled out pack after pack of money. Most were twenty's and tens, but a couple of packs had fifty's and hundreds in them. She rummaged around until she found the envelope at the bottom and pulled it out. The poem had reminded her of the will she had written out, and not shown to Rain. She had to do that today. He will be surprised she thought. She had meant to tell him before now, but with everything that happened since they married she did not get the chance. She snapped shut the briefcase. Leaving the will on the desk she ran up stands to put the brief case away in her dresser.

  Amethyst turned around to rush down stairs so she could tell Rain the moment he came in about the will. There in the door way stood Rain she smiled up at him. Then the smile left her face, he was angry. She had never seen him so angry. Every muscle in his body seemed to be straining, and tight. His hands were in fists. Then she saw the paper in his hand. Between his teeth he hissed, "You kept a secret from me. I told you to never keep secrets from me. How dare you! You're just like my mother! She kept secrets from my father and it ruined their relationship!"

  The smile left her face, she began to get angry then calmed herself. "I didn't do it on purpose, just so many things happening, and I forgot. I am not trying to ruin things between us."

  "You conveniently forgot you mean! How could you forget something this important as your will, and not tell me?" Amethyst was getting a taste of the alpha side of Rain and she didn't like it much when it was turned on her. Suddenly Rain slammed his fist against the door of their bedroom causing the wood to splinter. Amethyst jumped her eyes opened wide, and she suddenly filled with fear. Rain felt her fear, but paid no attention to it. Then he felt her anger rising, and she screamed,

  "Don't you dare compare me to your mother? I am not at all like her, I honestly forgot! I put the will on your desk so you would see it! I brought the brief case up stairs, and was returning to the office so you would see it first thing!

  "Liar, you're a damn liar, and your ruining our relationship" Rain raged. "I am your alpha not just your mate damn it! The Reverend said, you gave him a paper, he said to wait until you told me. You had no intentions of ever telling me did you Amethyst?

  "Reverend told you about the will? He said he would let me tell you! I was going to tell you that night, but getting me here seemed more important at the time!" Amethyst felt as if the Reverend had betrayed her. She knew he was Rains friend before her friend. She thought he would keep it to himself. She would never trust him ever again. Anger seemed to be rising inside of her, and she was losing control. She wanted to shift into a panther and claw something up or was it someone?

  Rains sensing her desire to shift made his body fill with rage. If she dared he would certainly put an end to her ever doing that again. "You won't keep any secrets from me do you hear? I found it on the floor where you dropped it by mistake. If you had every intention of making sure I saw it then you would have showed it to me not left it on the floor of my office. I hate, sentence stood there unfinished!"

  Rain turned walked out the door and slammed it as he left the room, the door hit so hard it bounced back open, and hit the wall behind it. The door knob left a hole in the wall. He wanted to strike out he had to get away from Amethyst before he lost complete control. Down the steps he went, and out the front door jumped in his truck, and headed for town. Rain drove faster then he should have, but reached Wylie's bar with out incidence.

  Amethyst stood there blinking her eyes, then tears over flowed she turned to the bed threw her self on it. She cried until she felt sick
to her stomach. Her heart felt broken. He hated her, he felt deceived, lied to, and secrets kept from him. He had no right to feel that way. She had truly forgotten, and when she remembered she wanted to show him the will immediately, but he wasn't home.

  The afternoon turned to night, and still Rain had not returned. She moved out to the outer room looked out the window, and saw her vehicle parked in the back. She wondered, "When was it brought to the house. I see secrets on his part, but not on my part!" Grabbing her brief case she rushed out picked up her laptop, and then she began to sneak down the stair case. She heard someone coming and hid behind the stairs. When she saw Willow she stepped back and watched her leave. Once Willow was gone Amethyst started moving to the kitchen she went out the side door. Ran across the yard, and jumped into her vehicle. Opening the brief case she grabbed the spare keys. She closed her eyes, and tried to reach Rain, but she was shut out, and he was angry with her for intruding.

  Tears ran down her cheeks and she closed her mind. "So much for you can tip toe through any time you want too! He hated her so much he wanted to strike her. She couldn't stay with a man who hated her, life would be unbearable. Rain was going to say he hated her, but didn't finish the words; "doesn't matter now any way." Rain had closed her out of his mind more then likely once, and for all. Starting up the SUV she pushed the gas pedal down the tires spit dirt, and gravel as she left the yard. She saw Joe running behind her waving his arms. Then he was out of sight. "If Rain was going to shut her out, then she would shut him out of her mind as well." Then she wondered, "Am I able to shut Rain out of my life." Screaming, "I love you Rain, I won't stay with you hating me. A life like that would be unbearable; it would be the worse kind of nonexistence."

  She could not remember how she got out to Rains house. At the next cross-road did she turn left or right or go straight. She decided to go straight. The next cross-road she turned right, it came to nearly a dead-end, but there was a sharp turn to the left. She didn't remember any of this. The next road seemed to be getting narrow compared to the ones Rain drove earlier. Then suddenly lights appeared behind her. She sped up faster, the vehicle caught up to her so she slowed in hopes they would pass. The vehicle came up a long side then rammed into her SUV. She held the road, and tried to speed up. It was no use they kept smashing into her vehicle then just as they hit her SUV; she hit a pot hole, and went off the road.
