BEAU

A sudden change in the breeze caught my attention, carrying Jake's scent tainted with fear into the house. I bounced out of the chair, my instincts kicking in, and rushed towards the open back door. My eyes scanned the tree line, desperately searching for any sign of Jake. I didn’t want to intrude on his space after our argument, but the overwhelming aroma and sense of urgency pushed me forward.

I couldn’t see him anywhere, and panic gripped me tightly.

Taking a few steps outside, I hoped to catch a glimpse of him near the greenhouses on the left.

Then I heard it—the sound of heavy footsteps pounding against the earth.

“Jake?” I yelled, voice sharp with panic.

“Beau, help!”

There was no time to waste. I took off running toward his voice, my heart pounding like a war drum. Just ahead, a figure darted through the shadows.

And that was all it took.

The shift hit me like fire through my veins. My body surged forward, muscle and bone stretching, clothes tearing at the seams. Fur spread across my skin, thick and coarse. My legs elongated until I towered over seven feet, and my hands morphed into wide, clawed weapons.

I bolted around the corner—and there he was.

Jake, running flat-out toward the house, wild-eyed and breathless. “There are two guys!” he shouted—

And then he saw me .

His feet faltered, his eyes widening. He froze mid-stride, staring at the creature barreling straight at him.

At me .

His mouth opened slightly, like his brain was trying to form a question faster than his adrenaline-flooded body could process.

I slowed just enough to meet his eyes. “Jake,” I said, voice deeper now, roughened by the shift. “It’s me. Keep going—I’ve got this.”

His breath hitched, but he gave a tight nod and turned back toward the house. He ran—but he kept looking back over his shoulder, like part of him couldn’t quite let go of what he’d just seen.

I tore past him, instincts crackling. My senses went into overdrive, searching for the intruders. The scent of sweat. Movement in the brush. But before I could track them down, a heavy thud echoed behind me.

My heart seized.

I spun, eyes darting.

Jake was on the ground .

I lunged back toward him, scanning the area, every muscle coiled and ready—but the shadows were still. Whoever had been chasing him was gone, for now.

I didn’t hesitate. The shift melted away, fur retracting, limbs shortening, until I was just me again.

I dropped to my knees beside him, cradling his head in my hands, our faces just inches apart. “Jake. Jake, are you okay?” I asked, my voice low, urgent, human again—but full of the wild.

He stumbled over his words as he struggled to catch his breath. "I’m fine. I just rolled my ankle."

"Okay. It seems like they're gone," I replied, scanning the tree line once again.

"Let's get you inside so I can take a closer look at your ankle.

" Without a second thought, I scooped Jake up into my arms, effortlessly supporting his weight, remnants of torn clothing hanging from me.

Jake stared at me, his breath still ragged and his heart pounding, his gaze filled with a mix of awe and shock.

I met his gaze and whispered, "I'm sorry. "

"You came to my rescue again," he said, a playful smirk on his lips. "I know I've had quite a bit to drink earlier, but you'll have to explain a few things to me. Because what the actual fuck." His words were laced with curiosity, and was that a hint of desire...?

I took a deep breath, preparing myself to reveal the truth. "Yes, I will. Now you get to learn about the real me."

Once inside, I carefully placed Jake on the sofa, his injured ankle clearly in need of attention. As I stood up, ready to assess the damage, Jake surprised me by wrapping his arms around my neck and pulling me back down into a full-on kiss.

This time, there was no hesitation. Jake had seen the true me, and yet he still wanted me. I didn’t wait for his tongue to seek entry; instead, I eagerly parted my lips and dove deep into the passionate exchange. Our lips met with fervor, igniting a flame that burns brightly within both of us.

As our tongues danced in perfect harmony, the taste of Jake's lips intoxicated me, filling me with an insatiable desire. The sensation of his hands on my face sent shivers down my spine, and our bodies pressed against each other, yearning for closeness.

The room faded away as the kiss deepened, taking on a life of its own.

It became a symphony of passion and longing, a connection that transcended words.

I explored every contour of his mouth, savoring the sweet taste of desire that lingered between us.

The air crackled with electricity, our bodies entwined in a dance of desire and vulnerability.

Breaking away for a moment, our lips mere inches apart, we both gasped for breath. The intensity of our connection was undeniable, our eyes locked with a shared hunger and understanding.

"You have no idea how much I want you," I whispered.

Jake's response was a mere nod, his eyes brimming with a mixture of passion and anticipation. We were on the precipice of something extraordinary, a love that defied boundaries and swept us into a world where only our desires and emotions mattered .

With our lips drawing closer once again, we dove back into the intoxicating kiss, losing ourselves in the depths of our shared passion. The world around us faded into oblivion, leaving only the echoes of our love and the promise of a future filled with endless possibilities.

"I can't believe we're really finally doing this," I gasped.

"I know, it's surreal." Jake agreed, his brown eyes shining.

"I've wanted to do this with you for so long… but I was scared you wouldn’t accept me for what I am.

" I said, my usually strong voice now shaking.

Jake looked at me like I was talking nonsense; I was flawless to him and nothing else mattered.

With little effort I scooped him up into my arms and led him upstairs to my bedroom.

My room was dark and spacious, the walls covered in a thin layer of dust that I needed to get around to cleaning.

But all that mattered to him was me, and the warmth of my body as I pushed him against the bed and claimed him with a passionate kiss.

We undressed each other with a gentle but insistent touch, our mouths never parting for long as we explored each other's bodies with reverence.

Our fingertips brushed against one another, sending shivers of pleasure racing through our bodies.

As our clothes fell to the floor, we were finally skin on skin, united in a way that transcended words and touched something deep within us.

I reached down and cradled his face in my hands, gently coaxing him closer until our lips meet again.

He tried to get up, but with gentle insistence I pushed him back onto the bed and began to explore his body with my hands, careful not to inflict any bruises or welts from our frenzied lovemaking.

As my fingers danced over his skin, Jake moaned softly, his body trembling with desire.

We were lost in each other, consumed by a passion that knew no bounds.

And as we explored each other's bodies, Jake's hand drifted down to my cock.

He wrapped his fingers around me, eyes wide with something between curiosity and awe.

I moaned as he started to stroke me, the pleasure blooming fast and deep.

Reaching into the nightstand drawer, I grabbed the bottle of lube and slicked up his hands, guiding him with slow, deliberate movements. “Just like that,” I murmured. “Yeah… that’s perfect.”

He bit his lip, watching me closely, and I paused just long enough to check in.

“You okay with no condom?” I asked, my voice low but serious. “Sasquatch biology’s… a little different. I can’t catch anything or pass anything on. Promise.”

Jake met my eyes, breath hitching slightly, and nodded. “Yeah. I trust you.”

My chest tightened for a second—something warm and real—and then the moment swept us back under.

His uncertainty soon gave way to confidence as he began to jerk me off with ease.

He pushed away my hand with vigor and started moving faster and faster, like he wanted to be in control of my orgasm.

This continued for a few minutes but suddenly, without warning, I felt a surge of power within me and flipped him over onto his back with my superhuman strength.

His eyes widened in shock and excitement as I positioned myself between his legs.

I lowered myself onto him and as I slowly entered him, I cried out in pleasure.

It felt like heaven. His moans filled the room as I slowly thrusted in and out, savoring the tightness and warmth of his body.

Jake's hands gripped onto me, pulling me closer as he begged for more. I moved slowly at first, allowing him to adjust to my size and girth, but as his body relaxed and he began to moan louder, I couldn’t hold back any longer…

My Sasquatch instincts took over and I picked up the pace, pounding into him with a primal need.

Jake's moans turned into screams of pleasure as I hit just the right spot, sending electric shocks throughout his body.

“Fuck… you’re so strong! I totally love it…

” he moaned. I leaned down to kiss his neck, nipping at his skin as I continued to fuck him.

He wrapped his arm around my head, hinting that he wanted to be pounded even deeper.

Our bodies were slick with sweat, our moans echoing in the quiet room.

I could feel myself getting closer to the edge, but I didn’t want this moment to end…

I could feel myself getting closer to release, but I wanted to make sure Jake was satisfied first. I reached around to stroke his cock, adding another layer of pleasure to our already intense union.

"Yes, Beau,” he whimpered. “Please… Don't stop. I'm close. ”

Pumping my hand faster, I felt Jake's body tense up. I could see the droplets of sweat that were dripping down his body. He was close; the great moment was about to come!

I cupped his balls in one hand and squeezed, sending him over the edge into blissful release; with one final thrust, he cried out and his cock burst in my hand, spilling his release all over his and my body with unpredictable speed.

I followed suit a few seconds later, finding release deep inside of Jake.

We collapsed in each other’s arms, staying like that for a while, basking in our orgasmic bliss before gradually coming to our senses.

Jake reached over to brush his thumb over my cheek, tenderly wiping the sweat and cum from my face. "You're amazing," he said breathlessly. "Absolutely stunning, and I’m not drunk this time."

I could feel the warmth of our bodies mingling as we lay there, limbs entwined in the aftermath of our lovemaking.

"I never imagined I'd find someone like you," I confessed, still trying to process what had just happened.

Jake seemed equally as taken aback by the depth of my feelings. "Neither did I," he said sincerely.
