Chapter Eleven

Kelsey

Aaron starts undressing and I can’t understand why.

I mean, why, in the middle of the flippin’ forest, is he getting naked?

What could he have to tell me that involves being completely naked?

Does he have some outdoor fetish? Is that even a fetish, actually?

I mean, if that’s what he wants, I don’t mind.

Might be sexy. But why in the world does he need to tell me like this? Naked in the forest?

Now, don’t get me wrong, it’s a beautiful sight, but I don’t know what to think. “Aaron, what’s ...?”

I start to ask him but then, he just holds up a hand, gives me a smile and says, “It’s me. It’s still me.”

I glance over his body and I say, “I know it’s you. Believe me I know. Come on, Aaron. What’s going on?”

He smiles and says again, “It’s still me.” Then, things get fuzzy. I feel like I must be having a stroke because the place where Aaron is standing wavers like the heat waves coming off asphalt on a hot day.

Then, “Oh, holy fuck!”

I jump back and my heart catapults into my throat and starts clawing to escape. I feel like my legs have turned to Jello.

Aaron is gone. That’s the first thing.

The second thing is something else entirely! Where he was standing there is now a super-sized panther. Sleek and muscled. Huge. Its large head swings in my direction and I can see its teeth.

It makes a low rumbling sound, and I almost pee my pants.

“Aaron, where are you?”I whisper his name hoping he’ll come save me like he has before. I feel frozen. Any ability I may have to get going and run is just switched off.

The panther makes a small huffing sound and then, just casually lowers onto its belly and sits there, staring at me.

“Aaron, I need you. Come back because…”My mind begins to work again and I remember something. It was a news segment on the announcement of shifters in our world and whether we could take it at face value or consider it to be some political ploy.

Well, this big cat switching its tail is not just a political statement, let me tell you.“It’s still me,” I whisper. “It’s me. It’s still me.”

My heart begins to work at a more normal rhythm and I take a step forward.I’m nervous but the edge of the terror is gone. The terror isn’t gone. It’s just not debilitating. “Aaron. It’s… it’s still you.” I swallow hard and take another step. “Aaron, is that you?”

The cat lifts its head and rowls . I don’t say growl because it’s a soft sound, not an aggressive one.

It looks at me again, and something in me feels that connection.

Crazy, I know, but it’s there.I walk up to the huge thing and reach out a hand.

It presses its nose into my palm and I laugh.

“I’m going to have to think of you like those dragons in that cartoon.

” I slap his big cat face. “You should have told me before!” I swear it sounds like the giant cat is laughing at me.

“Asshole,” I whisper, “I can’t stay mad at you. ”

I cradle his hand in my face and kiss between his eyes. His head is as big as my whole torso! That gives me an idea. I mean, he’s as big as a horse. Maybe bigger. “Can I...ride you?”

It’s a crazy question. I still can’t be sure about anything here and I’m now thinking of jumping on board Bagheera. What’s wrong with me?

But I get a nudge from the huge head and laugh again.

“Okay, then.”

And I climb up onto his back. Aaron’s back. Because this is Aaron.

Right.

The cat stands up and I shift forward. It strolls off into the woods and slowly picks up the pace once I’m a little more comfortable.

My heart beats faster but, this time, it’s the excitement and thrill of the moment, not fear, that drives it.

How in the world does a girl survive something like this?

There is such power beneath me right now.

If this never stops and I just spend the rest of my life holding onto him as he runs until finally I just die, it will be a happy life. That’s kind of scary, right?

Well, thankfully Aaron has enough sense for both of us. We run a bit and then, we round a small hill to a clearing. The Aaron panther stops.

He gets down onto his belly again and I slide off.

My body is humming.

The cat stands again and then, the air does that weird fuzzy thing and the cat is gone.

And naked Aaron is back.

I don’t even say a word. I just pull at my clothes like they’re on fire. In seconds, everything is off, and I’m in Aaron’s arms.

He picks me up and I wrap my legs around him. We kiss, all our pent-up hunger for each other making everything rough and fast.

I feel wild and needy. I want this man. I want to feel him as if we are pressed into one person.Well, that’s as over the top as it can get. Anyway, you get the point. I want him to fuck me now and I want him to fuck me hard. Sorry if that’s a bit vulgar, but that’s the level I’m at right now.

Yeah, he’s changed me. Now, there’s such a thing as vulgar.

Aaron obliges me. His strong arms hold me up easily. His cock, hard and ready, slides deep into me and I end up bouncing on top of him. His hands grip my ass cheeks and help me stay stable as I move.The truth is that he does most of the work.

I feel myself getting close and I moan and try to shift my body in an attempt to urge it along.

Aaron smiles and bites at my neck, sending ripples of sensation straight down to my filled pussy.

Suddenly, he pulls me off and drops me to my feet.

My legs shake and I start to fall. He catches me and helps me land gently on the grass.

In another life, I may have thought of making love outdoors with no blanket or towel…

well, kind of icky. My mind would’ve focused on the bugs and the itchy grass and a million other little unpleasantries.

I may have been a bit loose, but I never just dropped to the ground and went at it.

Okay, I was more than just a bit loose. I may have been open for business at the free sex store. I still never had sex on the ground!

But it’s not icky at all.

But this man and this moment are world’s away from anything I knew before. In my heart, I know that I’m also far away from the girl I used to be.Aaron is on top of me and I stare at that face as he thrusts into me.

Different. So different.

Yes, I see the lust and the desire and the heat, but I also see something I’ve never seen when I was with other guys.

I see love.

Schmaltzy, sweet, powerful, consuming love.

And I know my gaze mirrors his.

I gasp as he picks up the pace. I reach up to him and pull him down to me. I kiss him and wrap my legs around his hips, driving him deeper inside me.

I feel him shudder and I shiver with him.

My orgasm hits me so hard! I moan soundlessly, my body twisting beneath Aaron as he starts to explode inside me.

We writhe together on the grass, shaking with each wave until we fall beside each other, exhausted and spent.

It sounds like a fucking porn movie, I know, but hell, it feels like one, so I guess it works to talk like that.

But it makes me laugh, and then, I feel something brush over my arm and I jump up, all my rationality making me jittery about my surroundings again.

I run around and grab and shake my clothing. I start to get dressed and Aaron just watches me.

“What are you smiling at? You could’ve at least thought to have a blanket ready.”

He laughs harder. “Well, I didn’t think things would end quite like this.”

I walk over and pull at him until he languidly complies and stands.

“What do you men end? How did you think it might end?”

He pulls me close and kisses me. With a shrug, “Not like this.”

“Explain what you mean!”

“I thought I would show you my panther and you would think about it for a few weeks before finally being okay with it.”

“Oh! You meant how telling me about this would end!”

“What did you think I meant?”

Well, there’s no way I’m going to tell him I thought he was talking about the end of our relationship. “I’m a happily ever after girl, Aaron, you better believe it.”

He brushes fingers through my hair. “I absolutely do.”

“Good.”

“Very good,” he murmurs and kisses me along my jawline.

I sigh. What’s a little grass?I mean, it’s one thing I can do with Aaron I never did with anyone else. And I have a whole lifetime to do it!

Did you enjoy reading Angry Lion's Naughty Little Neighbor ? I hope so. I really enjoy writing about the Company 417 firemen shifters. You already know that if you’ve read any of the other books I’ve written.

I’m definitely a shifter-loving girl. I don’t just have book boyfriends.

I have a whole wilderness park full of them!

I go on picnics with wolves, to movies with bears, and on vacations with lions.

I’ve been known to double date with dragons.

I wish!

I loved writing about these two. Of course, I hope you found Aaron as sexy as I did.

Any girl can go for a firefighter, I think.

They’re just badass and sexy, right? When a man is more than just a tough, sexy fireman and is also a badass lion…

are you kidding me? Maybe I set my standards too high but I can promise you Aaron can live up to all of it!

I love that the whole situation starts out with Kelsey getting herself in trouble.

You know, I was never an out-of-control girl like Kelsey so I don’t know why I love stories of girls who are incorrigible getting whipped into shape by sexy, strong men.

It must be something about the human female subconscious, right?

There’s some archetype or something. Who knows?

I love that Kelsey was acting out and got a dramatic and eye-opening lesson about the dangers she created.
