Erotica: Beyond: Dark Action Romance Paranormal Thriller (Adventure Demon Humor International Interracial Mystery Short Stories)

by Iaz Grant

  After spending two weeks in her room, she finally got enough courage to get out into the world. She missed her friends and her job. Her first day back at work was almost like a party. Her colleagues bought a cake and they celebrated during the lunch break. One of the other waitresses told her there was a good looking guy watching her from one of the tables.

  “That is my table but we can switch. He is clearly into you.” Said her colleague smiling.

  Jenn blushed as soon as she saw him. He was the best looking man she ever saw. He was tall with broad shoulders and dark hair. He smiled at her and this made her a little weak in the knees. As she got closer to his table, she saw with horror that his eyes were of a golden shade. This was the only characteristic humans had to tell apart shifters from people. She took a deep breath and got closer to him. She had to be a professional and do her job. Shifters were hoping to be treated the same as people and she never liked to make anyone feel bad. As her grandma used to say, “Every forest has its dry leaves.” This meant shifters had their own negative characters just like people did. This didn’t mean all humans or all shifters were bad. However, this didn’t stop her hands from trembling. She almost dropped the tray with the drinks on his lap.

  “Are you okay? Let me help you with that.” He touched her hands while trying to take the tray from her. She was shocked by how cold his skin felt. Even so, his touch sent her hot shivers all over her body. She never longed for the touch of a man as she did now.

  His smile was breathtaking. Jenny never felt this way for any man. She had boyfriends before but she viewed them more as good friends. None of her friends knew but at 20 years-old, she was still a virgin. This was something she wanted to share with someone special. All her friends had already plenty of experience in that area and she was too embarrassed to talk to them about it. Of course her ex boyfriends insisted to get her to bed but she didn’t feel ready. None of them had the patience to wait around so she decided to be single until she found him. Now that perfect man was standing in front of her. Unfortunately, he was a shifter.

  “Thank you, that is very kind of you. My name is Jenny.”

  “Nice to meet you Jenny, I’m Mark.”

  For a moment she lost herself in his sexy smile. If only he was human…A romantic relationship between a human and a shifter was forbidden by people and especially by shifters. Since she didn’t have any parents, there was no one to forbid her to be with a shifter. However, it was known that members of the shifter clans used to kill humans who fell in love with shifters. They wanted to preserve their special powers. If they mixed with people, their babies would be half human and their powers will be less strong. The shifters also feared that their species would soon disappear.

  Needless to say that night she couldn’t fall asleep. All she could think about was Mark. He had something that attracted her like a magnet. As she was thinking about him, she felt unfamiliar waves of pleasure. She slowly touched that special spot between her legs and imagined those were his hands. For the first time in her life, Jen felt that he was the type of man she would give her virginity to. Since she knew this was not possible, all she had was her imagination.

  The Other Shifter Clan

  The werewolf shifters were separated in more clans. Mark was one of the 5 leaders of the Hannibal clan. He was trying to lead everyone on the right path. His goal was to fight some of the other clans and make them stop the attacks against humans. He knew that they would never get accepted in the world if some of them kept hurting people. Worst of all, a shifter from a rival clan hurt Jenny. She was the girl he secretly loved. Until the other day he just watched her from a distance. Now he had to make his presence known to her because she needed his protection. The shifter who attacked her was a female from the Hell clan.

  Her name was Tara and she was in love with Mark. Since he rejected her, she started to follow him. This is how she caught him spying on Jenny. She knew then that was her rival. The solution seemed simple enough. All Tara had to do was to kill Jen. However, she wanted to make it look like she was attacked by a human because she knew Mark would end up hating her if he found out. So instead of shifting into a werewolf and tearing her to pieces, she took a brick and hit her in the head. What she didn’t know, was that Mark had a special power.

  His sense of smell was very strong. As soon as he found Jen lying on the ground, he sniffed the brick and he could tell that she was attacked by a shifter. He then sent an anonymous text to her friend Tom. This is how he knew where to find her. Mark didn’t know yet which of the shifters was responsible for hurting the woman he loved. Since it happened, he made it his priority to find out the truth. It was the only way to save her life. Whoever it was, he or she was going to try again and he couldn’t allow this to happen. He would prefer to sacrifice himself for her.

  Mark gathered all the members of the clan and they set up a plan. Each of them had to infiltrate in the other clans and find out if any of them had plans to attack any more humans. If they found something out, they had to be stopped. Of course he didn’t tell them that he especially wanted to protect Jenny. His parents didn’t need to know that he was taking an interest in a human girl.

  This would had put her life in danger. While his family didn’t usually attack people, they all agreed that a relationship with a human was a legitimate reason to kill. His love for Jenny had to remain platonic no matter how hard he got every time he saw her slim body. He had sexual experiences with other shifters before but none of them managed to drive him as mad with desire as Jenny did.

  Mark took it upon himself to inspect Tara’s clan. He had a strong suspicion that her jealousy made her attack Jen. Before he killed her, he had to make sure. His plan was to get close to her and make her believe he was in love with her too. This way he could catch her with the guard down. He was going to succeed even if that meant he had to become her boyfriend. He was willing to kiss the enemy on the lips. All the clan’s members got on their motorcycles and separated into small groups. From a distance, anybody who saw them would say they were a normal bike club. While they were on their bikes, they were all wearing sun glasses and it was impossible to tell they weren’t human. Mark chose to go on his own to the Hell clan. There, he saw Tara training her members for fight.

  “Preparing for a battle?” Asked Mark.

  “Not at all, just training for our safety in case we get attacked.”

  Answered Tara. Her heart skipped a beat as soon as she saw him coming. For the past hundred years she has been in love with him but he never gave her a chance. Today he was actually smiling at her. This took her by surprise.

  “Are you busy all day long? I was thinking maybe you want to have a walk in the woods with me.” Said Mark.

  “Sure, I can let them train on their own. I would love to walk with you.”

  They left hand in hand into the forest. There, they both shifted to be able to enjoy nature better. All their senses were heightened whenever they shifted from human form into werewolf. At one point, Tara changed back into a woman and invited Mark to sit next to her. He changed into human too. Without too many words, he grabbed her head and pulled her towards him. His kiss made her very happy.

  “What does this mean? You never showed any interest in me before.”

  “Well, shifters can change more than their shapes.” He said with a smile.

  From that day on he become her official boyfriend. He had absolutely no feelings for her but he had to play his role in order to find out if she attacked Jenny. He took her into his arms and pulled her clothes off. He asked her to take a sit and she obeyed. It sounded almost like an order and she loved it.

  He kneeled in front of her and raised her skirt for more access. Now her shaved pussy was open and exposed to him. He could not stop himself and he started to explore it with his tongue. The intense sensation made her shiver all over. Her hips were moving, rubbing her wetness on his face. She normally closed her eyes during sex but now she loved to see his beautiful head pleasuring
her. From time to time he was looking up at her face and this drove her crazy. He loved to see what an effect his mouth had on her. It gave him a sense of power stronger than anything ever could. Knowing that he can drive a woman so crazy with desire and making her explode on his tongue, got him so hard that he could barely control himself. However, he still had some more exploring to do. As soon as she moaned, he knew she reached climax. He then got her up with her legs around him. While holding her buttocks, he entered her moist tunnel. Her back was pressed against a tree while he pushed deep inside her. Tara had to bite her lower lip to hold back her scream. He increased his speed until both of them came almost at the same time.

  He also wanted to keep Jen close in case the attacker was another shifter. To succeed this, first he had to gain her trust. He noticed how her hands trembled when she looked into his eyes at the coffee shop. To make her get used to him, Mark became a regular customer. He even started to ask her opinion about different things and slowly, she opened up to him. Whenever she was on a break she sat at his table and they would talk and laugh together. Before they knew it, their friendship blossomed and they started to hang out outside the coffee shop too. He didn’t tell her yet about his girlfriend. He wanted to keep the fantasy going a little longer.

  The initial physical attraction she felt for Mark transformed into real love. She was decided to be entirely his no matter what the risk was. However, she wasn’t sure he felt the same way. He became her best friend but he didn’t seem to want more from her. Jenny was a beautiful girl and she never had to make the first step with men. They always pursued her and the choice belonged to her. With Mark she felt very insecure. The fear of rejection stopped her from confessing the feelings he had for him.

  Every time he gave her a hug she never wanted it to end. All she wished was to feel those sensual lips of hers. His touch made her tremble with desire. However, she had her pride and she was terrified of rejection. Jenny was also scared to say or do something that could ruin their beautiful friendship. If she couldn’t have him as a man, at least she was able to spend time with him. For now she was happy with that and was counting the minutes until she could see him again.

  Mark told her that he suspected her attacker was a shifter and he wanted to spend as much time as possible with her to protect her. Secretly, Jenny wished that she will never be out of danger. When she was with him nothing else mattered and the fear vanished.

  Fighting for Him

  Jenny was happy to finally finish her shift at the coffee shop and meet Mark. She saw him coming towards her and she started to run towards him. She stopped cold when she saw a beautiful tall girl appearing next to him. She looked at her and then gave Mark a kiss on the lips. Jenny’s heart was breaking into little pieces but she did her best not to show it. Now she understood why he never made a move on her. He was already in love with another woman. When she got closer she could see her golden eyes and realized she was a shifter.

  “Hello, you must be Jenny. I’m Tara. Mark told me so much about you! I hope we can be good friends. If you are my boyfriend’s friend, this makes you my friend too.” She said with the sweetest smile she could find.

  “Nice to meet you Tara! Mark never told me he had a girlfriend. Sure, I would love to be your friend.” She said while looking surprised at Mark.

  After the initial shock, Jenny understood that Mark didn’t owe her any explanation. He was free to be with any girl he wanted. It would had been entirely different if he made her any promises. She created a romance story in her mind and now she had to snap out of it. Even if he felt the same way for her, there were too many things against them. Her first impulse was to hate Tara but her kind nature didn’t let her. It wasn’t Tara’s fault that she fell for a shifter.

  Tara could see the way Mark was looking at Jenny. She understood then that he would never feel the same for her. Not while Jenny was still alive. He was watching her all the time and it was difficult to get to her. To succeed with her evil plan, Tara started to hang out with her every day. She pretended to be her friend and it wasn’t very difficult to trick Jen. She had such a kind heart that it was difficult for her to imagine so much malice.

  Tara was such a good liar that she even tricked Mark. At first, he was very suspicious but then he started to doubt himself. Maybe Tara was not the one who attacked Jenny. Still, he knew it was one of the shifters and he didn’t want to let Jenny too much time alone. Even while she slept he was standing in front of her house, guarding. As a shifter, he didn’t need very much sleep. Mark could never forgive himself if in a moment when he didn’t pay attention someone would kill Jenny.

  “Take a break honey, Jenny is my friend too now. I can watch her for a couple of hours.” Offered Tara.

  “Are you sure? I could use some rest. I will only be away for an hour.”

  “Sure, take your time. I will be here.”

  Tara had her chance to kill her right then but she didn’t want him to suspect it was her hand. This is why, the first times she watched over her, she didn’t take any action. The goal was to gain Mark’s trust and to make him believe some other shifter killed Jen. Tara wasn’t a very patient person so it took a lot of effort for her to sit around and wait for the perfect opportunity. Usually, whenever she wanted something she would get it. She was the leader of her clan and everybody respected her.

  Even though Jen started to really like Tara, at night, when she thought no one could see her, she cried herself to sleep. Her jealousy made her feel like a really bad person. She didn’t want to betray Tara’s friendship but she found it impossible to get over her feelings. She loved Mark more every day and her body reacted whenever he was around her. She knew that if he kissed her she would be too weak to refuse him. She would let him get deep inside her and become one with him. Luckily, he never showed any signs that he was interested in her. Therefore, Jenny could not betray her friend in fact even though her desire was getting stronger.

  Since Tara showed up, she was never alone with Mark. Even though she liked her, Jen really missed her private moments with Mark but it wasn’t like he could tell his girlfriend to back out. All she could do was to accept the new situation. Worst of all was that Tara was now like the sister she never had. She had more experience and she felt that she could ask her anything about life and men. She was the only one she could trust to tell her about her virginity. Tara taught her all she needed to know about sex and she was grateful for this. They were both having their morning coffee together and talking like girls.

  All of Jenny’s human friends were shocked to see her hang around with the shifters. Most of them warned her to stay away because they were unpredictable and dangerous. She tried to convince them that Tara and Mark were different but without any luck. Her relationship with the humans cooled off because none of them wanted anything to do with the shifters. If before, Jen was very popular, now people were barely saying hello to her. Tara was now her only female friend and this made her feel even closer to her. Because her guilt was eating her up, she finally confessed to Tara the feelings she had for Mark. She promised to never act on those feelings and asked for her forgiveness. To her surprise, Tara was very understanding and told her she could talk to her about anything. After sharing her secret, it was like a heavy burden was lifted off her chest.

  Love and Deception

  The three of them were spending time together like usually, when Mark saw Tara’s eyes getting black while watching Jen. The eyes of a shifter were usually golden but whenever they felt hate, they changed to black. When Tara felt his eyes on her, she quickly got her eyes back to a bright golden color. It was too late though. He could see how much hate she had for Jenny. This clue was enough for him. He knew now that she was the one who attacked Jenny and wanted her dead. He could had killed her right then but he controlled himself. From that day on he spied on Jenny and Tara. He made them believe he was busy and waited until Tara made her move. That moment came sooner than he expected. They were both taking sun by a pool and s
uddenly, Tara shifted into a werewolf. This took Jenny by surprise and she screamed terrified. She knew Tara was a shifter but she couldn’t understand why she shifted when they were alone and why the shifter standing in front of her showed its teeth and growled. As the shifter jumped on her and pinned her to the ground, Mark shifted too and pushed Tara off her. In that moment, Mark and Tara changed back into humans.
