by Anna Collins


  Raj had been a good lover, but she felt weird afterwards, as though she’d betrayed someone. With no explanation, she had gathered up her things, gave him a kiss, and caught a cab back to her place. It was strange to do so, but she had a desire to be in her own space- her own territory.

  She looked in her fridge and nothing appealed to her. She poured a big glass of water and drank it down, then found she was looking through the cabinets. Four cans of tuna caught her eye and without a second thought she pulled them all down, opened all of them, and poured them as they were in a bowl. She’d had a sense that she ought to find some spices or excuse for the weird dinner, but instead Lisa dug out a big spoon and dug in.

  There was a knock at the door, and she didn’t want to answer. All she wanted to do was eat. But she sniffed the air and picked up Raj’s scent. His scent? But the door’s closed, she thought. It was too odd not to understand and so she set the bowl aside. She wanted answers for what was happening to her.

  She flung open the door. He walked in without an invite, much as she had before. “Nice place. I couldn’t let it end where it was, though.” He said. Spotting the bowl, he licked his lips. “Good idea. I can’t blame you.”

  “What is happening to me? You know, don’t you?” She demanded, getting in his face. He backed away, but she pursued him to the bookshelf, pressing against him. A complex desire to fuck and to kill him arose inside her and she bore her teeth looking up at him.

  In return, he just smiled. “I can’t believe he didn’t tell you. It’s The Change, of course.”

  “What Change? What the hell are you talking about?”

  He gently pushed her away and found a seat in her recliner. “You’re becoming one of us. We don’t know why it happens or exactly how, but in very rare instances if you mate with one of the Secret Society, you can gain our ability to shift form. It’s not a guarantee what you’ll become,” he continued smoothly, as though explaining a sophisticated architectural design to an underling. “But your odds are likely to take on the characteristics of the shifter you select as your mate. Right now, it could be either of us.”

  Her head felt like it was on fire from the rising blood of sexual desire, the confusion, the fury. “You’d better make a lot more sense or … or … I’ll tear you apart!”

  “I bet you’d like that.” He said, rather smugly. “But the fact is, I am the hunter and you are my prey. I have claimed you for myself from that filthy panther. The sooner you accept your new form, the happier you’ll be.”

  She paced before him, and as she observed her own behavior began to laugh. “Of course. I get it. I’m turning into a fucking panther, aren’t I? I’m not just going insane. Well- I might be.”

  He held up a pill bottle. “This will suppress your instincts and prevent you from undergoing a full change. From time to time, the pills won’t work and you’ll know it. Mating can help. Going into the wilderness for a few days to hunt and be your new, more natural self is the ultimate solution. But these pills won’t do a damn thing for you until you’ve chosen your mate. And you, my dear, will be mine.”

  “And what are you?”

  “A prince of India. A tiger. Join me or ...” He flashed an evil smile when he said this, showing his own slightly sharpened teeth. “The other option isn’t something I’d look forward to.

  She was surprised to find her own teeth were becoming sharper. She felt them with her tongue and found herself giving him a low growl.

  As he made his proclamation, the door swung open. They both looked and saw Jerome, his nose sniffing the air. He saw Raj and started for him.

  The two were upon each other with fists flying in a moment. The intensity of their fighting warned Lisa that they’d destroy her home without realizing it and, possibly, one of them would die in the process. She roared and stepped between them.

  “No!” She shouted, and they stood apart, heaving and angry. She placed a hand on each of their chests. “I choose. Not you.”

  “Then choose.” Jerome demanded, glaring at his opponent. “Tell me it can’t be him. He’s unworthy of you.”

  “And this mongrel will never come between us.” Raj insisted, a dangerous look passing over his face as he said so.

  She grabbed them each by the shirt and pulled them to her, each flanking her hip. “I will choose.” Lisa demanded, feeling heat rise within her. “I will choose my way.”

  Lisa reached over to Raj and tore his shirt open, buttons snapping away beneath her fingers. A moment later, she used her bare hands to rip open Jerome’s shirt. They followed suit, pulling away at her clothing until all three stood naked and aroused in her living room. She took each by the hand and led them to her bed.

  “Please me.” She demanded. “Prove yourselves to me.”

  They circled to opposite sides of the bed. Raj came behind and pressed his body tight against her back while Jerome expertly started to kiss her nipples, reaching a hand down along her soft, warm stomach. Lisa put her arms around Jerome while Raj gently nibbled at her shoulder. She tipped her hips towards him so he could rub his rod against her sex. Each of the three became lost in the feeling of touch and pleasure.

  She pushed herself down to all fours, looking straight at Jerome’s erection. She grabbed him and began to stroke and rub him while behind her Raj entered her as she bent over. His hands went to her butt while he moved up and into her deeply, mounted and fully inside. She felt wonderful and as she felt Jerome touch her head, she placed between her lips, mindful of her still sharpened teeth, to allow him to fuck her mouth. With penetration on both ends of her, all she could think of was how good she felt and how much she was pleasuring each of the men.

  They moved in her until she decided she wanted a change. She took each of them out of her and lay on her back. Raj moved his cock to her mouth and she reached up to take hold of him. Jerome moved her to the edge of the bed so he could stand as he entered. When he entered, she cried out with delight and began to jerk Raj off, watching as the first drops of pre-cum dripped from his shaft. Each of her boys were heaving and groaning as they serviced her pleasure and she gave it in return.

  “Oh, you’re good.” She taunted each of them, making eye contact and baring her incisors. Jerome let out a low rumble from his throat as he filled her, and she sighed. “But you both need to show me more. Do it. Do me.”

  Raj straddled her chest, took her breasts in each hand, and began to fuck them. She liked that and reached her hands down to cup his ass as he was mounted. Jerome lifted her legs as though holding a wheelbarrow and began to pile drive down into her, aggressively and satisfyingly. As the three worked, each felt their passion rising further up as the sweat and sex mingled in the air.

  She pushed each of them off of her, sat on the edge of the bed, and grabbed hold of each of their members to help jack them off on her. The men reached down as well, Raj rubbing her nipples while Jerome placed two fingers against her clit to rub her off. The three increased the frantic speed of their friction until she couldn’t take it. Her orgasm rose up as Jerome positioned himself to come on her stomach. Raj placed a knee on the bed, held her breast, and came onto one. As they covered her with wetness, she felt her own pussy climax and she opened her mouth, threw back her head, and laughed and moaned, thrilled with the conclusion of her own desires.

  ---

  After she’d showered, she found Raj wearing his underwear and relaxing on the bed. She felt a strange sense of disappointment that Jerome had left already.

  “Where did he go?” She asked, covering herself in the towel. She found clean underwear and started to dress.

  “I guess he backed off, knowing I’m the better man.” Raj saw the look of sadness on her face and snarled, “It was a competition, you said. He withdrew. You should be pleased to have me to guide you through the Change.”

  “I wanted to decide.” She found herself irritated, not at all happy to discover they’d decided without her. It felt like a cheat, and Lisa hated that feeling more than any
other.

  Arrogantly, Raj rose up and pulled on his pants. “Perhaps I am the one who hasn’t decided if you’re worthy.” He laughed, flinging on his clothes. Noting the broken buttons on his shirt, he simply flung it on. “Perhaps I don’t want a slut who’d take two men at once.”

  He wanted to shame her? Lisa didn’t hesitate to turn on him, furious and ready to take him down. “You wanted that, you piece of shit. Don’t pretend you didn’t love every minute of sharing me. It turned you on. I could smell it on you.”

  He snickered. “Well- yeah, you got me there. You are advancing quickly if you can sense that with your nose. That is one of the strongest feelings to arise, by the way. Along with hunger and sexual desire, you’ll have a heightened-”

  “Yes, I know. I don’t need you to tell me.” She hurled back at him once she had slid on her jeans and an old t-shirt. They both smelled something and turned to the doorway, recognizing the smell of their recent sexual partner.

  “Jerome.” She murmured.

  He nodded and smiled. “I went back to my apartment to clean up. Lisa, I want you to know that the desire, your desire, made me lose control. I want you to choose me. But as your mate, it’s not necessarily for life. You don’t have to marry me or even make love again. I want that,” he assured her. “I want it all. But whatever pace you need, it’s okay. This is a time of discovery. Choose me, and-”

  “Oh, shut up already.” Raj yawned, bored. “You want him? You two deserve each other.” He headed for the door and jostled shoulders with Jerome. “Just know that I don’t like being led on. In fact, I deplore it. I’ve been known to take my revenge, little girl, and when I seek revenge-” He gave a low roar, his face momentarily turning orange and white, “I hunt to the death. Ta!”

  The man exited, leaving the two stunned and alone.

  Chapter Five

  Lisa rolled down the passenger seat window as they drove further and deeper into the California mountains. They’d gotten into some heavy forest, which smelled and looked glorious. She was excited about her first trip into the wilds.

  She was happy she hadn’t had to take any of the pills that morning or the day before. Once she’d been introduced to the Council, she was given her own supply, most of which she chose to keep in a box in the closet. She encouraged Jerome to do the same in his apartment, but he just shrugged.

  “I’d be too afraid of forgetting to take them or to order more. This away, I know when I’m close to running out.”

  “What if you did?” She asked, worried.

  “Well- it wouldn’t be good on the streets of San Diego. I’d get shot by animal control and taken to a zoo or a preserve or something equally horrible. Everyone would wonder how a wild panther arrived in the city. The Council would shun me, of course- no way they’d appreciate a shifter revealing their status to the humans. In addition, there’s the risk of killing someone.”

  “How about out here?”

  He looked around. “No, it should be fine. Humans enter every wild place and there are very few places we’re safe to roam and hunt game. However, this area is off-limits to everyone but poachers. Hopefully, they have the good fortune to steer clear of us. Honestly, there is no more ideal scenario than this.”

  “So remember,” he reminded her, “We’re going to hike in about twenty miles. That should be good enough. We’ll make sure there’s food and water ready for the change. Then we shift. You should be able to do it at will.”

  The sun was high in the sky. He’d assured her that despite the hardship of the hike, he had done it once before. “This path is known to our kind. We’re relatively secure here.” He assured her.

  After they’d parked his car, they started the hike. As she walked, she found little things were already changing. She reached up and touched her ears which were feeling distinctly furry. Under her shirt, a thin layer of hair had arisen on her belly and was moving up her chest.

  They stopped for a quick rest after several miles of hiking and she looked at her man. Jerome’s beard was starting to cover his face. His eyes had turned green, while his teeth were now protruding from either side of his mouth as fangs might. He shifted slightly more and was able to tuck them into his lips.

  “Fingers won’t work much longer. We’ll have to stop now.” He tried to talk more, but it was too late. She looked down and saw her hands turning into paws.

  They both rushed to peel off their clothes and move their gear to the side. He poured the water; she got the food together. It was just in time, for as she fell to all fours, human thoughts eluded Lisa. Instead, the two panthers dined, drank, and slunk away from their base, ready to enjoy a few days in the wild with each other.

  About the Author

  I live on the East coast with my two kids. They are my world and I find inspiration for my stories through my friends, who always have stories or just something to say that will spark my creative juices.

  I've lived like it was my last day on earth, always striving to do something new, just because it scares me. I went to high school, but it wasn't my favorite time and sometimes I got lost in my own imaginations. College was another story and I have a few close knit friends....hey Barry....what's up. Just a shout out to a friend...you know who you are. Life has been 2 miracles and several more that I just haven't seen yet.

  It was never my intention to write and I never really thought that I had that kind of creative feel. It just so happens I write all the time in my diary and some of the stuff can be pretty steamy. If its not about a past love then its a fantasy about a co worker or someone I saw and I wanted to explore. Life can be boring, but sometimes all it takes is for one to look around at the wonders of the world.

  I have been writing erotica for years. I am the type of writer that enjoys what she does and writes stories that are compelling for the reader. My experience ranges from extremely sexual, soft core, romance, paranormal, action/adventure, supernatural, sci-fi and fantasy.

  I go along for the journey, never quite knowing where the story is going, until it presents itself to me. I go by the seat of my pants, working with no outline, but a theme that I can draw inspiration from. If you are reading my stories, you will feel compelled to live vicariously through the characters I portray with vivid clarity. Their emotions, thoughts and desires become your own.

  With love and respect,

  Polar opposites

  Gillian and her girlfriend Margot have finally saved up enough money to go to Iceland. It’s in the middle of winter, but that’s when the prices are the lowest. They’ve always been fascinated by what they have seen about the culture. They arrive on an early morning flight and they are greeted by Johan, who takes an instant liking to both girls. They find him attractive, quiet and mysterious, but what they don’t know is that he hides an interesting secret that is going to change both of their lives. Can they get over and past what he is and see what’s underneath all of it?

  •••••••••••

  Chapter One

  Gillian was running her hands through her long blond hair, looking out the window of the plane and seeing the clouds and nothing more. She was hoping for a more picturesque scenery, but it appeared that the weather was not going to cooperate. She turned and looked at Margot, her dark haired friend that was 5 inches shorter than she was. They both had this plan from the moment that they were 16 that they were going to visit different getaways that weren’t of the norm. The one that had surpassed all their fantasies was Iceland, but the on
ly thing they could get that was affordable was in the middle of winter.

  “Gillian, I have no idea what to expect, but if the brochures or anything like real life, then we are in for one hell of a trip.” Margot was always excitable, ever since that she was a little child and ran downstairs on Christmas time to see her presents wrapped and neatly tucked beneath a tree. She wanted to wait for her parents, but the temptation was too much and before she knew it, she was tearing through them like a whirlwind. “I just checked our hotel and it is this bed and breakfast that is so quaint that you won’t believe it.”

  “Margot, we’ve been over this several times and I’m just as excited as you are.” This wasn’t necessarily true and even though they had both fantasized about going here, she secretly harbored a desire to go to Hawaii, instead of this icy tundra. “We’ll be landing soon and I’m sure that our guide will be there to greet us.” They had taken the precaution of getting somebody that knew the lay of the land and his name was Johan. He was apparently sought after, but still Gillian just couldn’t stop thinking about the fact that they had just walked out of a wintry wonderland in Maine and now they were going to step back into something even colder.
