[The Shifters Committee 01.0] Time Shifters

by Rebecca Foxx

  “So was your father a—” I couldn’t quite get the words out. Maybe I was afraid to offend him. Maybe I still couldn’t believe that the wolf and the man were the same being.

  Thankfully, he didn’t have trouble understanding what I was trying to ask him.

  “A wolf, you mean,” he said with a smile. “Yes, he was a wolf as well. That’s why he chose to live so deeply in the woods. This is where we were meant to live. I feel at home here.”

  He turned his eyes away from me and sighed. Suddenly it seemed like he had been overcome by an extreme sadness.

  I reached out and touched his arm. “What’s wrong?” I asked.

  He took a minute before answering. I feared that I had done something to upset him.

  Before I could ask, he turned and looked at me. “I am very happy that my father chose to raise me in this environment. There’s no way I would have been able to tolerate life in the city. But because I’ve spent all of my life here, I have different problems than he ever experienced.”

  “Like what?” I asked.

  Instead of answering the question, he kissed me gently on the lips then began to pull back. But I wouldn’t let him. I pulled him down on top of me.

  I opened my mouth wide and he slipped his masterful tongue inside it. We kissed hungrily and began tearing at each other’s clothes.

  We made love for hours in his bed. And we stayed in each other’s arms until morning.

  When I woke up, I reached out to the other side of the bed. It was empty. For a moment, I was seized by panic. But I quickly got a hold of myself. I could hear movement in the rest of the house and I could clearly smell food cooking.

  I looked under the covers at my naked body. I really enjoyed staring at my curves. And I was excited that I had finally found a man who could appreciate them as well.

  I smelled like sweat and sex and I felt like washing off before I went down stairs.

  After showering, I slipped into a silk bathrobe and walked out of the bedroom. I made my way down a long, winding staircase.

  Frederick was waiting for me with a tray in his hands.

  When I got to the bottom of the stairs, he smiled and kissed me on the lips. “I didn’t make this food,” he said. “But I wouldn’t allow anyone else to serve it to you.”

  I blushed and thanked him.

  "You have your own chef?"

  "Yes, as you might imagine, I have quite the appetite."

  "I think I could imagine that," I said a twinkle in my eyes, wondering when I would get to experience his voracious sexual appetite.

  He leaned down and kissed me gently on the lips, cupping my face in his strong hands.I gazed into his eyes. They were dazzling, sparkling, penetrating. They were eyes that I wanted to wake up next to every morning for the rest of my life.

  I pulled Frederick down on top of me. I could feel his hard dick pressing into my thigh. I closed my eyes and moaned as I reached out for his cock.

  "I can't wait to feel you inside of me," I said. "You make me so wet."

  He smiled and kissed me lustily on the mouth, his tongue darting in and out, sloshing around.

  As the large head of his cock pushed into my wet pussy, pleasure and excitement gripped my body. He grabbed my ass with both his hands and thrust even deeper. I could feel the juices oozing out of my pussy. I wrapped my legs around his torso, dug my heels into his ass urging him to fuck me, to fuck me harder and deeper. My body trembled. My voice quivered.

  He was taking me to heights of pleasure that I'd only imagined.

  The next day I moved all of my belongings into Frederick’s forest mansion. I knew that I would be staying there for a long time.

  Seductive Passion

  Chapter 1

  "Colton. Come on. Take this blindfold off of me."

  Sophia stumbled, loosing her footing.

  "Careful, we're almost there. Just another few steps."

  Sophia sucked her teeth, frustrated and excited all at once.

  "Okay, we're here. Stand still. Are you ready?"

  "Yes," she blurted out, ready for this whole surprise to be over with. While it was a sweet gesture, Sophia hated surprises.

  She could feel the blindfold slip off of her face, and she worked hard to get her eyesight in focus.

  "What? We're at Bonnie's?" She immediately recognized the small clapboard house that was a favorite haunt for her and Colton. They had been there more times than she could remember, and now standing here, she could not figure out why he would make a big deal out of bringing her there.

  "Yes," Colton replied, beaming proudly.

  Sophia wanted to stomp in frustration, but she knew that if Colton brought her there, it must be for a reason.

  "You don't get it do you?" The look of excitement and pride started to fade from his face.

  "No, I don't." Sophia did not want to hurt Colton's feelings. He was the love of her life and she wanted him to know that she appreciated anything that he did for her.

  "Tell me, Colton. I know that you are doing something special though."

  "I am. Look, I know that this is just Bonnie's. The same place where we go evey week to eat sliders with extra bacon and milkshakes, but it is also the place where we first met, where we had our first date. It's one of the places where we have a lot of memories. And I thought that with it being Valentine's Day Eve, it would be a nice idea to come here and grab a bite. You know, before the Cupid Day rush."

  He took her by the hand, drawing her near. Sophia loved the way he had no problem managing her curves. He loved her from the moment he saw her, she was completely aware of that fact. And she loved him as well. It was what worked so well about them.

  "That is a beautiful idea, Colton. Thank you for thinking of me. And just so you know, I would have a slider with extra bacon and a milkshake with you anytime and anywhere."

  Colton twirled her around and spun her back in to him, holding her close. She loved his kisses. Lived for the feel of his lips against hers. He was like the air that she breathed for the past few months. Now that she'd had life with Colton, she could not imagine life without him.

  "I'm sorry. Maybe I was being a bit bratty."

  Colton held up his pointer and his thumb, squeezing them together. "Just a little bit. But I'm used to it. That can't push me away. Let's go inside."

  Taking his love by the hand, Colton led the way. They walked inside of Bonnie's.

  "Colton, is all of this for me?" Sophia gasped, taken aback by the change in décor. The place was a whole in the wall, normally with sparse decorations. Today, there was a table in the middle of the floor with a white cloth, flanked by candlelight, and a bouquet of roses.

  "It is. My lady, please have a seat."

  Colton pulled her chair out, waiting for her to have a seat. Sophia was overcome with emotion, as she tried to hold back the tears that were forming.

  "Now I know that this is not going to be a gourmet meal, but it is from the heart."

  One of their favorite waiters came out and served them all of the foods that they loved from the menu. Chocolate milkshakes, cheesesteaks with extra peppers, chili cheese fries, and fried apple pies.

  "Colton, you know that I'm trying to watch my figure."

  He eyed her, full of desire. "I should be the only one watching your figure as far as I'm concerned. And I like everything I see."

  Blushing, Sophia knew that she had hit the jackpot when she agreed to a date with Colton. He was rugged and the requisite tall, dark, and handsome. The complete opposite of the kinds of men she'd dated before. He was a bit of a loner, the kind of man that made sure that things were taken care of but on his own terms. She loved his free-spirit and the way that he grabbed life by the horns at all costs.

  "All of this and it's only the day before Valentine's Day. What can I expect tomorrow?"
/>   "Tomorrow and everyday after nothing but the best."

  Gushing, Sophia ate her food and the two shared a milkshake. Colton would not reveal his plans for her for the holiday. He was able to keep a poker face whenever she asked him about it.

  Colton was not the guy that she thought would steal her heart. They were opposites in so many different ways. When at first it did not seem like they had much in common, they soon found that they were a perfect match.

  "Do you remember the first day that we met?"

  "I do," Sophia nodded. "You walked in to Bonnie's and I was standing at the counter for takeout."

  "I saw this gorgeous, voluptuous woman with skin the color of cinnamon. I couldn't take my eyes off of her and I knew that I needed to have her."

  "Oh really?" she quipped.

  "Yes."

  Sophia loved when he smiled. Colton was often stoic, but when he smiled, it lit up the room.

  "And what did you think when you first saw me?" he asked.

  "I was never much for the biker kind of guy. And you had that mess of curly dark hair on your head. But when you walked up to me and I saw those blue eyes, I knew that it was going to be hard to resist you."

  "Most of the ladies think that way about me."

  Sophia playfully slapped his arm. "Let's go loverboy."

  "Anywhere you want, my love."

  Colton held his hand out to her, gesturing for her to take his. She did and they left Bonnie's, taking a walk under the moonlight.

  "Do you see that?" she asked, pointing to the night sky.

  "I do. Haven't seen a crescent moon in the sky so clear like that in such a long time. Tomorrow night there is supposed to be a full moon that is even more beautiful. Speaking of tomorrow, I need to make sure you have cleared your schedule."

  "I have. What did you have in mind?"

  Colton waved his finger at her, then took his fingers and mocked closing a zipper.

  "My lips are sealed. Just be ready."

  Chapter 2

  "You are the talk of the office, Sophia. I don't think that your cubicle can take any more flowers."

  Her co-worker Brandy came in and handed her a vase filled with roses.

  "This is number five. If there are any more, then we'll have to start putting them in the break room. When are we going to meet this mystery man of yours?"

  "In due time." Sophia stood up and inhaled the scent of the fresh red roses. She wanted to tell Colton to stop spoiling her, but she enjoyed it way too much.

  What could he have in store for her tonight if he was doing all of this already?

  She had not heard from him by phone all day and it was already lunch time. They would spend the entire evening together doing something special, so Sophia tried to stay as focused as she could for the rest of the work day.

  It was difficult when she was staring at his gestures of love. Chocolates, flowers, a card to say how much he cared.

  Colton did not look like the type to be so mushy, so loving, and so affectionate. But he was just that. He was the man that helped her to know that love was possible after she had just come out of a relationship that had shook her faith in love.

  As Sophia clocked out of work for the day, she felt giddy with expectation. She wanted so badly to know what Colton had planned. It was going to be a gorgeous night, full moon and all.

  She'd read somewhere that the energy of the full moon was magnetic. It was the kind of thing that had power and Sophia hoped that the power tonight was romantic and passionate.

  "Looking beautiful. I'm the luckiest man in the world."

  Colton's eyes were shining, as he stood there with open arms.

  "I think you just might be."

  His kiss made her knees weak. With his hands in the small of her back he steadied her balance.

  "Whoa. I can't have you falling out here when I have so much in store for you tonight."

  "I'm fine. But I need to get all of the flowers in my office home."

  "Not today. I brought the bike." He pointed to his motorcycle.

  Sophia giggled. She loved riding the bike. The wind to her back, the rush of the pavement rolling by, and her arms wrapped tightly around Colton's waist. Nothing was better.

  "Are you ready for a wonderfully romantic evening, Sophia?"

  "Very ready."

  On the back of the bike, Sophia felt so free. Despite the fact that she hated surprises, she was ready to see what the night had in store for her.

  She closed her eyes for a moment, feeling the depth of the freedom, and then she opened her eyes so she would not miss where they were headed.

  They made their way down to the lakefront. Colton was always doing something special for her.

  It was almost nightfall. The stars were sparkling in the sky and the moon was rising. The night could not have been more beautiful.

  "The lakefront, you, and me. What else is next?"

  They parked the bike and Colton took a basket off of the back of the bike.

  "Right this way, Sophia."

  He led them to a small part of the lakefront right by the shore. Colton whipped out the blanket and sat the basket on top of it.

  "I'm surprised that we are here alone. I would think that there would be more people here on the lakefront besides us."

  Colton chuckled. "I'm sure that they are all in town packing the restaurants."

  "So that leaves the two of us out here all alone. What will we ever do to pass the time?"

  Sophia reached out her hand, gently touching Colton's face. Running her fingers across his squared jaw line, she felt the roughness of the stubble on his skin.

  "I can think of a few things."

  Colton popped the cork on the wine bottle first. Pouring a glass for her and then a glass for himself, they toasted to the night and sipped the red liquid while staring in to each other's eyes.

  He set his glass aside and began preparing a small plate of food for Sophia. She watched as he set the plate with care. Just as he reached to hand it to her, he flinched, sending the plate crashing to the ground.

  "Are you alright?" Sophia reached for Colton.

  He shook his head, trying to get his bearings straight.

  "I think so. I've just been having these headaches lately. This throbbing and then some dizziness. I'm sure I'm fine."

  "No. Let me get you something to drink."

  She fished around in the basket and pulled out a bottle of water.

  "Here." She broke the seal and offered it to him.

  Colton gulped down the water, taking a deep breath afterwards. "See. I'm already better."

  Sophia was not buying it. She wanted to know more about what had been going on, but was sure that he would not reveal anything to her.

  "I'm fine, really. Don't go worrying about me."

  "How can I not worry about you? What's wrong, Colton?"

  "Nothing." He shook his head.

  "Maybe you are a little tired from work or something?"

  "Very well could be. But let's not think about that right now. Right now I want to focus on the fact that I have this gorgeously sexy woman here with me, sharing a meal and some wine."

  Sophia quickly cleaned up the mess and the two inched closer together.

  "Tell me more about this gorgeously sexy woman."

  Colton stared her deep in her eyes. She was lost in his blue pools, as soon as he turned his attention to her.

  "She's the most ravishing, intelligent woman that I know. Did I mention how sexy she is?"

  "Several times, but I'm sure that she can bear to hear it again."

  Colton leaned in, whispering in her ear.

  "Did I tell you that I love you today?"

  "Not enough."

  "Then let me tell you again. I love you, Sophia."

  His kiss was intense, taking her breath away. He laid her back gently, making sure that he did not let go of the connection.

  "I love you, Colton."

  The fire burned between the two. Sophia's bo
dy went limp under the weight of Colton's body. The moon was at its height in the sky by this point, casting a soft light on the lovers.

  He began to undress her, slowly at first. Taking time to admire her curves and her cinnamon kissed skin. Sophia liked the way he made her feel like a siren, like she was the most desirable woman on earth.
