[The Shifters Committee 05.0] Sensual Hero

by Rebecca Foxx

  “If you don’t save me from her, I’m not going to be a happy guy,” said Shane.

  Kelly felt relief wash over her. Just hearing him say that was so reassuring to her. He didn’t want Anita. He wanted Kelly and she knew it for a fact now.

  He took a seat beside Kelly. All of the other girls were still out on the dance floor.

  “So, you’re not into little Miss Thing?” Kelly asked him playfully.

  “Not even a little bit,” Shane said with a grin at Kelly. He reached up and brushed a stray piece of hair out of her face.

  They locked eyes for a moment and Kelly felt as if the whole bar had disappeared. She wondered if Shane felt the same way.

  Soon the girls came back to their drinks at the table and took their seats. They were all glistening with sweat. Anita hung on Shane’s arm and as she did, he looked at Kelly and gave her a squeeze on the knee. She smiled back at him.

  “Why have you been keeping this guy a secret from us?” one of the other girls asked.

  “Well,” Kelly began.

  Shane finished for her.

  “We only recently reconnected,” he said.

  “Yeah,” Kelly added.

  The girls kept asking Shane questions, all of them impressed by him being a cop. Probably more impressed with his muscles, though, Kelly thought.

  She excused herself to go to the bathroom. She went down a narrow hallway and found the women’s room. She went in to reapply her lipstick and check her makeup. When she was done, she exited and started making her way back down the dark hallway. Looking down she almost bumped into the person walking towards her.

  “Sorry,” she said without registering who it was at first.

  It was Shane.

  He laughed when she almost bumped into him. They both made efforts to go around each other, but each of them moved the same direction each time. They laughed.

  Kelly looked up at Shane and found his eyes in the dark. He looked down at her and reached up to tuck that same piece of hair behind her ear again.

  They were alone for the first time that night. Kelly shifted nervously in her heels.

  “I guess I should get back to the table,” she said, a little anxious now that Shane was right in front of her after all of the flirting throughout the night. Something about this moment felt intense.

  “Wait,” he whispered. In the noise of the bar she could only make out what he was saying by reading his lips. His bottom lip was thick and begged to be bitten, she thought. She licked her lips.

  He took her by the hand and leaned towards her slowly. Kelly began to lean towards him, too.

  His lips touched hers with a firmness that she hadn’t expected. Gently, he kissed her. He slid the tip of his tongue against the parting of her lips. He was asking permission and she granted it almost immediately. He crushed his mouth against hers then. His hands grabbed for her waist and he probed her mouth with his tongue, exploring every corner of it.

  As they began to pull away from each other, Kelly bit his bottom lip. He groaned into her mouth as though he’d wanted it all along, too.

  She smiled wickedly at him when they parted.

  “We’ve gotta get outta here,” he said with finality.

  Chapter 4

  When they arrived back at the apartment, Shane grabbed Kelly and pushed her into the apartment, kissing her and grabbing her ass.

  He shut the door behind him.

  “I told you to wear something that showed off your ass,” he said between kisses.

  He slid a hand up to feel her breast.

  “God,” he whispered. “Up the stairs.”

  She raced up the stairs and he followed quickly and they both collapsed onto the bed with Kelly on top.

  “Turn around,” he said.

  She did and he unzipped her dress. She pulled it off over her head and straddled him again, wearing nothing but a matching pink lace bra and panty set. It was practically see through and her nipples stood up hard and tight against the fabric.

  Kelly felt that she’d become wet just from kissing him. She longed to do more with Shane.

  He looked at her and took her in.

  “You’re so beautiful. So sexy,” he said.

  “You’re not so bad yourself,” she purred.

  She began to grind her hips against him while he was still in his jeans. He groaned and started to undo his pants. She moved from on top of him to on her side. He slid the pants off effortlessly and she could see the growing bulge of his erection in his briefs.

  God, she thought. He’s huge.

  She licked her lips and slipped a finger into the waistband of his underwear. He sighed as she did so. She ran it back and forth and got on her hands and knees. She slipped all of her hand into his underwear and slid them down, revealing all of him.

  There was a bead of shimmering liquid at the tip of his cock, indicating he was just as anxious to get things started as she was.

  Kelly smiled up at him and he leaned his head back in anticipation. She crawled between his legs and took his length into her hand. He made a noise of satisfaction and began to pump into her hand. She leaned down and flicked her tongue over his tip and he inhaled sharply. He ran a hand through her hair and caressed her face with the other one.

  She darted her tongue up and down, over the tip and back again. Just when he was really starting to enjoy it, she took as much of his length into her mouth as she could.

  Shane groaned deeply and his hips bucked upwards. She could taste him as he grew more and more aroused. Kelly continued for a few moments just like that and suddenly Shane stopped her.

  “My turn,” he growled, effortlessly flipping her onto her back. He kissed her deeply and then pulled away. He planted a kiss on her neck, then on the top of her breast. He moved the fabric of her bra to allow him to suck on her nipple, turning her on even more.

  He kissed her stomach and moved down her abdomen with his lips. He expertly removed her panties and he lied down between her thighs, positioning his head directly in front of her. She couldn’t quite catch her breath as she anticipated the feeling of his mouth directly on her. His hot breath on her sex was only a preview of what was to come.

  Shane slowly parted her lips with his fingers and then flicked his tongue across her pussy making her desire run wild.

  He thrust his tongue inside of her, reaching as far as he could with it. She gasped at the sensation and her hips came off of the bed, thrusting directly upward into his mouth. Shane only went to work harder. He swirled his tongue around her opening again and again. She felt herself getting close.

  He began to slow down and moved upwards. He again spread her lips apart with his tongue and found that sweet and swollen spot that he knew would send her over the edge. He licked and sucked gently.

  Kelly’s legs began to shake. Her body was no longer hers to control. It was his.

  He moved his tongue with expertise across her sex again and again and she felt the pressure beginning to build inside of her. She moaned loudly as the roll of pleasure began to send her body into shudders. Her hips rolled against him as she came. She felt her climax coming to an end and she began to relax. Her muscles contracted again, and she enjoyed the aftershocks of her orgasm.

  Shane crawled back up on top of her. He kissed her with the taste of her still on his mouth.

  He turned her onto her side and pulled her leg up to her stomach. From there, he guided himself into her. His eyes rolled back in his head as he sunk deep into her. He held himself there for a moment and opened his eyes to meet hers. His pupils were dilated completely with arousal. Slowly, he pulled back out of her and then slipped inside of her again. She cried out at his length. His tip hit her cervix in the most delicious combination of pleasure and pain. The angle made it even better.

  Shane grabbed ahold of her hip and her leg. He thrust into her and moved back out. He did it slowly several times and then his pace began to increase.

  Kelly moaned and said Shane’s name.


  “Fuck,” he growled when she said it. He threw his head back in pleasure and thrust harder into her.

  She could feel him throbbing, ready for release. He groaned with each thrust and grew closer to his climax each time.

  “I want you to cum for me,” Kelly said, breathless.

  “Oh my God,” Shane said. As if on command, she felt him slow down and begin to pulse inside of her. With each pulsation of his cock he thrust into her again. His abs contracted and he almost bent at the waist at the strength of his release.

  Finally, he pulled out and collapsed beside her.

  The both sighed in contentment and soon they were neither one having any trouble sleeping.

  Chapter 5

  When Kelly awoke, she reached to her left to feel Shane, but no one was there. She looked to her side and saw that the bed was empty. She wasn’t sure what to make of that.

  She grabbed a blanket and wrapped herself in it. She walked down the stairs and saw that Shane wasn’t in the kitchen, either.

  This is weird, she thought. Maybe he went to get food.

  She had a seat on the couch and turned the TV on. After about thirty minutes of watching the Sunday morning shows, Kelly heard the door to her bedroom open.

  She turned to see Shane walking out of it.

  She looked at him confused.

  He wiped the sleep from his eyes and looked at her only briefly. He went and got himself a single serve cup of coffee and then went to sit down on the couch.

  “We need to talk,” he said in a serious tone.

  This isn’t good, Kelly thought.

  “We both know last night was a mistake,” Shane said without looking at Kelly.

  “What?” she asked. It felt like she’d been slapped in the face with a wet rag.

  There was no way he thought that was a mistake. He’d been completely sober. So had she. There was no confusion. Everything had been leading up to this. Kelly just knew it.

  “I need you to move out as soon as you can,” Shane said with finality.

  Kelly was taken aback. She was speechless. She felt rejected and humiliated. She didn’t even know where to start making sense of all of it.

  “Okay,” she said finally.

  If that’s what he wanted, then fine. She wasn’t going to stay here unwelcomed. She’d start looking for a place today.

  “I’ll pack my things,” she said and got up. She let the blanket drop off of her and walked to her bedroom naked. At least she could show him what he was missing.

  It wasn’t the first time that she’d started crying after an interaction with a man in the last couple of months, she told herself. In her bedroom she cried harder than she had over Ron. She started packing up her things and threw on her sweats. She spent the rest of the day in there by herself.

  Finally, around midnight, she found a rental that met her budget and she wrote down the number to call in the morning.

  If he wanted her out of there, she’d be out of there immediately.

  Chapter 6

  Kelly got on her feet again in her new place. It was a cute little rental in the heart of the city. One of the kinds of places that people saw on TV or thought of when they thought of San Francisco. The hill outside of her place was steep, like many of the streets in the city. It was new and she loved it.

  It had been about a month since she’d moved out of Shane’s and she couldn’t have been happier. Her birthday was coming up that week and she’d made plans to go out with the girls. No guys allowed. A celebration of being single and of her twenty-eighth birthday.

  The week went on uneventfully. On the evening of her birthday she texted everyone to make sure they were still coming. Finally, she sent Anita a text. She heard back from Anita quickly.

  I’m coming. Is it okay if I bring someone?

  Sure, Kelly said.

  Anita had better sense than to bring a guy to her birthday, so Kelly wasn’t worried. She began to get dressed.

  She’d picked her dress without even thinking. It was the black one that showed off her ass, according to Shane. Ugh. She tried not to think about Shane. She still felt humiliated about the entire thing. It’s like he made her a promise and then went back on it.

  Kelly tried to get him off of her mind. There would be plenty of cute guys at the club they were going to. Plenty of guys that could get her mind off of Shane once and for all.

  She slipped on her dress and put her makeup on. The last touch was her heels. They were a pair of Steve Maddens that she’d bought in Oakland. They were black leather with leather straps that went all the way up the ankle. They zipped in the back. Little silver studs adorned each strap. They looked exactly like what a dominatrix would wear, she thought.

  Kelly called a cab and waited for them to let her know they were outside. Her phone buzzed and she went to the door and walked out onto the sidewalk. The cab driver smiled at her and asked, “Going somewhere special tonight?”

  “It’s my birthday, actually,” Kelly said. She’d always believed that birthdays were magical. Anything could happen on your birthday and it was practically guaranteed to be a good day. Nothing could go wrong.

  The cab driver took her to the club she was meeting her friends at. She paid him and tipped him generously, waving goodbye as he pulled off from the curb.

  She got in line outside the club but didn’t see any of her friends. The guys at the door were checking IDs and asking people if they were on the list. Kelly had reserved a table for her and her girlfriends, so she knew if they’d already gotten there they wouldn’t be stuck outside.

  “Excuse me,” said a male voice from behind her.

  She turned to meet a pair of beautiful green eyes. They were such a light green that they almost seemed to glow in the moonlight.

  “I’m from out of town,” the man said. “I was wondering if this is a good place to go.”

  “It’s great,” Kelly said, sizing him up. He was tall and extremely muscular. Just her type. “It’s my birthday tonight, actually,” she told him.

  “Oh, well, then I guess my friends and I should definitely stay,” said the stranger. He had a beard and light brown hair. He didn’t look like Shane and that was good enough for Kelly.

  He beckoned his friends over to get in line.

  “You’re supposed to have a reservation, so I’ll just say you guys are with me,” Kelly said in a hushed tone. She winked at the stranger. “I’m Kelly,” she added.

  “Joe,” he said, holding out a hand to shake hers.

  “Nice to meet you, Joe,” she said back.

  Joe’s friends joined him in line and they were a raucous group. That wasn’t really Kelly’s thing, but what the hell? she thought. It was her birthday and nothing could ruin it, especially not some party boys from out of town. At least Joe was cute and he didn’t seem too rowdy.

  They inched their way up in line until it was finally their turn. It came time to pay the cover and Joe touched Kelly’s arm.

  “Let me get it for you,” he said. His hand lingered a moment on her skin.

  “Oh, you don’t have to do that!”

  “I insist,” Joe said and paid the door guy for himself, Kelly, and his friends.

  Well, he’s not broke, Kelly thought. That’s a plus.

  They all walked into the club and it was lit by blue and red track lighting on the floor and fancy neon signs on the wall. The wallpaper looked like something straight out of a whorehouse and the chairs were velvet. The whole place dripped swank. Kelly loved it.

  “What do you want to drink, birthday girl?” Joe asked her.

  “You really don’t have to do that,” she said.

  “I want to. It’s your birthday. Plus, you got us in,” he winked at her.

  Kelly felt butterflies in her stomach.

  “I’ll take a vodka tonic with lime, please,” she said sweetly. This guy wasn’t so bad, she thought. She walked with him to the bar and he ordered, but he added two shots onto the end of it.

  “Whoa
, no shots for me!” Kelly said.

  “Oh, no, you’ve gotta do some shots!”

  “Shots just get me drunk and fast!” she shouted at him over the music.

  “How fast do they make you?” Joe asked playfully and Kelly laughed at the joke.

  “Okay, funny man,” she said. “I’ll take a shot with you, but just one!”
