THE HEALING HEART

by Zelda Clemens

  “Why don’t you pop up your hood and I'll have a look at it for you,” he winked at her, walking to the front of the truck as she popped it open.

  He lifted the hood and looked into the engine, trying to see what the problem was. He heard the door opening and she came out of the truck, walking around to the front to stand beside him.

  “Do you think that you can fix it for me?” she asked, still sounding a little frightened as the scent of adrenaline oozed off her flesh.

  “I'll just try and figure out where the problem is and then we can drive to my ranch a couple hundred meters away so that we can call a mechanic in the morning. What were you doing in these parts at this hour anyway?” he asked, her feminine scent mildly arousing him as he checked and tested several things in the hood.

  “I think I must have missed the entrance to my ranch. I guess that you could say that I was coming from watching some of your games in the city,” she said cautiously.

  “You should never take that kind of risk around here, animals could kill you, for heaven’s sake,” he said, checking the cables to make sure that they were intact, since it had to be an electrical problem.

  “You could say that again. But just out of curiosity, what are you doing out here in the rain?” he could feel her eyes on him taking in every detail as they both soaked in the rain.

  “Well, you can say that after a hard game, I love to take a stroll in the rain. I have my own way of scaring away the wild animals,” he smiled, turning to look at her briefly. “Why don’t you get into the truck, it’s raining pretty hard and you’re getting soaked.”

  God, he couldn’t imagine how sexy the stranger looked with the rain pouring over her body. Her blonde hair stuck to her face and she clung onto her jacket although it was light and water still managed to seep in.

  “I don’t think that it would be fair to let you get wet on my behalf,” she protested.

  Her presence was making it hard for him to concentrate on looking for the problem with her car. This woman sort of had this effect on him that he could not explain. It was as if fate had brought her to him in this storm, and he had turned up to rescue her right in the nick of time. Maybe she was the one that he had been waiting for all his life, even though he could tell that she was not a lion shifter. A lioness shifter would never have freaked out the way that she had.

  “Ah, here we are, one of the wires seems to have loosened and disconnected the battery. I'll just fix it up for you, but in the morning you'll need to have a professional look at it and patch it up for you,” he said, relief overcoming her even though she barely listened to what he was saying, her eyes roving over him and not seeming to get enough of him.

  “Perfect, does that mean that I can go home now?” she said half heartedly.

  “Home? You have definitely got to be out of your mind. What if your car breaks down again and I'm not there to save you from the animals, or bandits, for that matter?” he said, walking around to the driver’s side of the truck and turning the ignition. The engine roared to life and then he came back and slammed the hood shut. “Well, you had better get in, I'm driving you to my ranch. You can go home in the morning.”

  Vanessa Parker felt more and more attracted to the sexy man who was standing next to her, and there was no way that she was getting into her truck and leaving him standing there all alone. God knows for how long she had waited to stand next to such a sexy being. The sight of the way that his clothes clung onto his body due to being wet only seemed to make him look even more sexier. Vanessa loved the way that Ethan seemed to take control of the situation, even telling her that he was the one driving when it was not even his truck, but hers. She walked over to the passenger side of the car and got in, breathing a sigh of relief because at least she knew that she would be near him until tomorrow. Maybe it would give her a chance to get to know him a little better. Something about being with him felt right unless maybe it was just her obsession with him. He put the truck into gear and soon they were on their way. Unlike her, he seemed to know his way around in the storm pretty well, almost as if he had cat’s eyes that could see right through the rain.

  “Hey, Ethan, thank you for everything,” she said, looking at him as he easily concentrated on the road, nothing the way that his muscles stood out through his wet clothes. One word, sexy!

  “Well, you could at least tell me your name. I've never seen you in these parts, you must be a new ranch owner here,” he said, blue dark eyes looking into hers and making her feel like her insides were melting.

  “Ah, my manners. I'm Vanessa Birdle,” she said to him. “And yes, I'm new in Houston. I bought a ranch here a couple of months ago, but I live in New York. I just thought that I could take a break and spend some time here.”

  “Yeah, you didn’t strike me as a country girl. It is my pleasure, Vanessa. Are you here with your family?” he asked.

  “No,” she answered a little too quickly for her liking. “I'm still single, which means that I'm the only family that I have. Well, my folks are back in New York and my brother moved to Europe.”

  “A pleasure to meet you. As I said before, I'm Ethan Parker- “

  “I know who you are Ethan, the baseball batter. I watch your games every chance that I get,” she interrupted him.

  “At least now I know that I have one more admirer on my list of fans,” he smiled, dimples forming on his cheeks and making him look even sexier than ever.

  “You can always count on me for that,” she said, sitting back as the truck made yet another turn.

  “Well, here we are,” he said as they drove up to a huge ranch house in the compound. He brought the truck to a stop next to another truck. “Now, it is time to get you something warm to wear. I can imagine that you must be freezing in those wet clothes. Come on, let’s dash into the house on the count of three.”

  She opened the door and at the count of three, she jumped out of the truck, slammed the door shut and ran after Ethan. They bounded up the stairs and onto the porch, where they were safe from the rain. He pushed the door open and they entered into a spacious living room that was tastefully furnished. The couches were covered by furry linen that reminded Vanessa of a lion’s mane, and the walls were dotted with photographs of Ethan and several awards.

  “Come on, I'll just show you to a bathroom where you can take a hot bath while I get the fire going in here,” he said, leading her out of the living room and down a corridor. They stepped into what had to be a spare bedroom. “Here we are, why don’t you get yourself warm and I'll see if I can find a robe for you to wear.”

  He shut the door, leaving her standing there, still unable to believe what was happening. How badly she wanted this man and yet she had to hold herself back because he was only being courteous to her. Every nerve within her being was alive in the most intense ways possible with desire. She slowly pulled off her wet clothes and tossed them onto the floor before walking into an adjoining bathroom and turning on the shower. She was burning with need in between her thighs as the water began running down her body. Her nipples pebbled hard and all that she could think of was sex. Maybe she had gone for way too long without it and that was why it was affecting her like this, but then again, who wouldn’t be attracted to a hunk like Ethan. He had everything that a woman wanted. Apart from being one of the best batters in baseball, he had a body that anyone would die for, tall, athletic, muscular and dark sexy eyes. He was the sort of guy that made a woman immediately imagine great sex.

  Ethan went to his bedroom and got a robe before taking it back to the guest bedroom, where Vanessa was. He knocked lightly and pushed the door open. She had gone into the bedroom, but her wet clothes were on the floor. He placed the robe on the bed and reached down for the clothes with the intention of taking them to the drier. It was then that he realized that her red sexy lingerie was also included. He took her thong to his nose and sniffed it and he felt his dick becoming hard instantly. He could smell the s
cent of her pussy and her arousal in the wet thong, and it went straight to his head, making him want her more than ever.

  Unable to resist the urge, he decided to go and take a peek at her in the shower, since the door was slightly ajar. The sight that greeted him was the sexiest one that he had ever seen. She stood under the shower facing the door with her eyes closed. She had one of her hands massaging her nipple, and the other one was in between her thighs rubbing vigorously over her swollen clit. Ethan felt as if he was going to go crazy, his dick hardening even more. Her nipples were huge and thick and the sight of the shower water running down her body was priceless. She was feeling horny and so was he. He slipped off the shorts he had worn and gently pushed the door of the shower open, stepping into the bathroom.

  “Ethan,” her eyes were wide, staring at his massive erection as he walked into the shower with her.

  “I just thought that you might want some company- “

  Before he could complete his sentence, Vanessa pulled him under the water with her, her lips locking tightly over his as they began kissing hungrily. It was as if they had both been waiting for this to happen. She pressed her body into his, his cock pressing against her. At this rate, it was going to be hard for him not to shift into his semi lion form. Whenever a lion shifter felt too aroused, it was natural for him to shift into his semi lion form. Ethan held it back as much as possible, although it was hard, he felt his dick growing huge, way bigger than a regular human cock. Vanessa pushed her hand down in between them and touched it, moaning into his mouth when she felt how huge it was. She wrapped her fingers around it and began jerking it up and down slowly, flipping her thumb over the tip and spreading the precum that had formed over his sensitive skin.

  Ethan felt as if he was drunk with desire. This woman brought out desire in him unlike any other woman, and the best part was that he felt that she was the right woman for him. They were compatible in every way possible and even their hearts seemed to beat en sync. He took her breasts into his hands and began massaging them, taking her nipples in between his fingers and pinching them with just the right amount of pressure to make her moan into his mouth. Her breasts were huge and well filled out just the way that he loved them, and touching them only seemed to get him more and more aroused.

  Taking her hand off his dick, she wrapped them around his neck and hoisted herself up onto him, wrapping her legs around his waist. Ethan held Vanessa by the waist to support her, and he could feel his dick poking at her entrance. She began lowering herself onto him and his dick pushed into her heat. She was steaming hot and she fit snugly over him as she lowered herself onto him until she was fully inserted inside her.

  “Oh my God, you are so huge, Ethan,” she moaned as she began riding him.

  He jerked his shaft into her whenever she came down on him and soon he felt as if he was in a completely other world. Her breasts rubbed against his chest and Vanessa fused her lips onto his tightly as they fucked. He knew that it was now going to be completely impossible for him not to shift into his lion form, because this pleasure that he felt was beyond human.

  Vanessa Birdle had never felt so sexually heightened before, and it almost felt like some fantasy dream as she felt Ethan's pecker driving in and out of her love nest. It felt thicker and bigger than any manhood that she had ever been with and she knew that she was never going to be able to get enough of it. To heighten the pleasure that she felt was the water that was running down their bodies as they made out. It was a contrast from the cold that she had been feeling only minutes ago. Her hands were still locked around Ethan's neck, and Vanessa was not sure if she felt as if there was hair growing behind his back. It was probably just her mind because of all the pleasure she was feeling. Vanessa could feel the heat beginning to build up deep inside her, and she knew that she was going to get the biggest climax of her life when it came.

  She concentrated on the pleasure that she was getting, loving the way that she could feel every inch of the shaft as it drove in and out of her love slit. It seemed to become longer and thicker with each stroke, and the hair on Ethan's back seemed to get longer and longer. She paid no attention to it, instead putting her focus on the way that the thickness was pulling her clit in and out of her pussy with it. Ethan parted Vanessa's butt cheeks and she felt a finger pushing into the rim of her butthole. She almost couldn’t believe it when she felt him beginning to push his finger into her forbidden hole, stopping after every inch to let the finger get used to the new intrusion. When she felt the finger rubbing over the cock through the thin membrane that divided the two holes, Vanessa couldn’t help it any longer.

  “Oh shit, I'm cumming, I'm cumming, Ethan, I'm cumming!” she screamed loudly as her climax suddenly came to life, taking her over the edge.

  She gripped her muscles tightly over the cock as pleasure rippled through her being, right to the very nerve endings of her toes. Vanessa felt as if she had died and gone to heaven, and she even thought that she heard Ethan growl. She rode him violently until her climax finally came to an end, before he lifted her off him and made her stand before him. It was then that Vanessa noticed that Ethan had turned into some sort of beast. She had just been fucked by some wild creature, and she had loved every moment of it. She pulled away from him and looked at him closely. He looked like he was half human and half lion, a long dark mane at the back of his neck and head. His back was also colored by golden fur and his legs were those of a lion. His cock had grown incredibly long and thick, which explained the thrill that she had just felt when she was coming.

  “Ethan,” she finally managed to breathe. “What sort of creature are you?”

  “A creature that is your guardian angel, Vanessa. I am a creature that is willing to do anything for you right now, you don’t have to be afraid of a thing. I'm a male shifter lion, Vanessa,” he said as she looked at him wide eyed.

  “Shifter?”

  Vanessa had only read about such fantasies, but would never have believed that they were actually real. She moved slightly closer to him and ran her fingers through his mane, smooth and getting longer with each and every single minute. If she was in some sort of fantasy story, then she was really enjoying it and was not sure if she would ever be able to get enough of it.

  “So, they really do exist,” she said dreamily.

  “Yes, Vanessa, we do exist, and I would like to ask you to keep that information to yourself,” he said as her eyes travelled down to the cock that had just taken her to the moon and back.

  “Are you kidding, I wouldn’t want to share you with anyone else, Ethan, you are mine and I am yours from today onwards,” she said, beginning to get aroused again when she noted the way that his pink cock was sort of sticking out of a sheath, the head smooth and huge.

  “Are you sure about that, Vanessa?” he sounded sort of nervous. “I have been searching for a pride mate and the moment that I set my eyes on you earlier today, I knew that you were the right one for me. I know that we barely know each other and all that, but my instincts are never wrong- “

  She silenced him with a kiss, driving her tongue deep into his mouth. Of course she was going to be his pride mate. She would ponder about what sort of kids they would get later on, and whether she too would turn into a shifter lioness or not. For right now, he was all that she wanted. If her life as a human being had been boring, she hoped that her life as a lioness would be a lot more interesting.

  “You should stop worrying yourself silly. My life has been one boring ride until I met you today,” she said, pulling her lips away from his and crouching before him to study his dick closely.

  She moved her mouth closer to the cock and sucked the head inside, getting a taste of him. He tasted funny, sort of salty and sour at the same time, but she loved it. She brushed her tongue over the huge slit on the tip of the manhood and got a taste of his precum, and it had to be the most addictive taste ever. Vanessa wrapped her fingers around the sheath at the base of the pecker and began j
erking it up and down as she began giving Ethan a blowjob. He groaned with pleasure as her head bobbed up and down on his cock, taking more and more of the flesh into her mouth. It felt thick and long against her jaw, but she was enjoying herself so much, she could not stop herself even if she had wanted. In between her thighs, her vagina was already breathing fire, the heat within making her feel as if she was going to lose her mind.

  He grunted, taking his hands down to her head and beginning to push it harder against his dick. She felt the manhood forcing its way deeper into her mouth as Ethan held her head still and began pumping his cock in and out of her mouth. She finally felt the head sliding into her throat, and the huge size made her gag, making her pull her mouth off the shaft.

  “I want to feel you inside me once again,” she managed to say, her voice heavy with desire.

  *****

  This woman was wilder than the few lioness shifters that he had made out with in his lifetime, and it only termed to strengthen his belief that she was the right person for him. She was the mate that he had been waiting for his whole life. She pulled her mouth off his cock right on time because any longer and he would have come in her mouth.

  “I'm going to make you mine, Vanessa Birdle, I am going to initiate you and make you my mate for life,” he said, kissing her deeply in the mouth before he pulled away and made her spin around to face the wall with her back to him.

  Ethan made Vanessa bend forward such that her ass was in the air behind her, and facing him. He moved closer to her and parted her thighs a little wider, running his finger through the hot slit in between her thighs. He then took a hold of his dick and guided it in between her thighs, driving the tip into her tight hot slit. He eased in slowly, not wanting to hurt her, although all that he really wanted to do was to bone her hard and fast as if she was a lioness. He held her by the hips as he began driving himself in and out of her pussy, loving the way that it gripped him nicely.
