My Mate

It’s such a beautiful evening. I watch from the balcony of my cabin as the sun starts to dip low in the sky, casting the forest in a warm, golden glow. When it reaches the tree line, everything will become shadows. I’d better get moving before it gets too dark. There’s a full moon due tonight which I’m sure is going to look spectacular. I go back inside, fetch my walking shoes, and a lantern, just in case. Better safe than sorry.

This mountainside cabin is my favorite place to just reset and get my head straight. I come here for a week or two when I really need to hunker down and get work done or when I just need time and space to think. No other people, no technology, no distractions.

The scent of pine and cedar is so relaxing. Ever since I arrived yesterday morning, I’ve felt more like myself. Not to mention the scenery is really inspiring for my writing. Solitude helps me concentrate, I suppose.

I start along the well-trodden path going west. Enormous trees stretch high into the dark blue sky above me. Instead of bearing north along the mountain’s edge like I normally do, I decide to continue on going west. It doesn’t look like many people have gone this way. I guess I can see why. It’s much darker and the trees are denser. I check my phone for the time. Hmm, I probably still have a good hour until I lose the light completely. I’ll go half a mile or so and turn back.

I take note of a moss-covered tree and a post sticking out of the ground as points of reference… just in case I can’t find my way back. What’s that? Maybe a racoon or something? Maybe not... that sounds much bigger than a raccoon. Maybe I should double back. I don’t fancy my chances with a moose; or worse, a bear. A sense of dread starts to come over me...and I start to get the strangest feeling...that I’m being watched.

Could there be someone else out here? No, no. That’s really unlikely. My cabin is the closest structure for miles. Suddenly, I see something quite unexpected. You step out into the clearing, dressed simply in a black t-shirt, skintight jeans and walking boots. You look strong and muscular, like you could probably take any wild animal one might encounter out here.

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to startle you…”

You walk towards me...as you get closer I take in your dark hair framing the most spectacular eyes I’ve ever seen. They’re golden. Almost… yellow.

“Oh - that’s okay. I’m just not used to seeing anyone else out here.”

“It’s a great place to clear your head.”

You smile at me from under thick, black eyelashes. I’m momentarily dazzled.I hear myself speaking again before I’ve even thought about what I’m going to say.

“Are you finding your way around okay?”

“Oh, yeah. I know these woods like the back of my hand.”

“I wish I was as confident as you. I’m renting the cabin a ways back. We’re pretty much in the middle of nowhere here, huh?”

“Pretty much.”

You look up at me with a half smile. You don’t seem to be worried about being lost at all; if anything, you look… excited. I wonder how long you’ve been out here. Walking...or whatever it is you were doing.

“Well, um, if you’d like, you’re welcome to walk with me. It’s getting dark and I’d hate to leave you on your own. The main road is right beside my cabin.”

You take a step closer to me.

Are you… smelling me?

“You’re probably right. Who knows what kind of beasts are out here?”

Having you close to me makes every hair on my body stand on end. There’s something about you. I’m intrigued, but… something isn’t right. I ignore the small voice in my head raising red flags. You’re just another traveler.

We make it back to the cabin just before the sky goes completely dark. The entire walk I’ve been pushing away thoughts about you as our shoulders brush or your hand presses against mine. I know we’ve only just met, but I can’t shake the feeling of intense chemistry between us. And I think you feel it, too.

“Hey, so… I really wouldn’t feel comfortable with you walking alone at night out here. I could drive you to your car or––”

“You got anything to drink?”

My mouth hangs open slightly as you make your way inside my cabin, leaving me behind.

“Uhh––yeah, whiskey––I think. Do you--? You want some?”

“Yeah, that’d be great. Damn, I’m starving, too. I could go for a huge steak right now.”

You make your way to the balcony as I fumble to find the half-empty bottle of whiskey I saw in one of the cabinets. You are… something else. You’re looking into the sky when I walk out onto the balcony and hand you the bottle.

“Sorry, I don’t have any glasses.”

“Mmm, look at that moon. It’s beautiful, isn’t it?”

I glance up at the sky and see that it’s a full moon tonight. When I finally look away, I find you staring at me from under those long, thick eyelashes. Something is changing…you seem intense, electrified…sexually charged, even. And the sexier you become, the more in danger I feel. You advance towards me, your eyes locked on mine. You curl your lip and bare a flash of perfect white teeth. You look…hungry.

You place your hands on my chest and yank me forward by my shirt. Our lips meet and suddenly my senses are reeling...

Oh god, my whole body is on fire. My heart is racing and you… you’re… you’re like an animal. So hungry and wild and… I have to have you. You pull away from our kiss and bring your nose to the base of my throat. Inhaling deeply, you throw your head back and I watch as your eyes roll back like you’re drunk on the scent of me. When your eyes open again...they’re…yellow. Like the eyes of a wolf.

My stomach is in knots. What ARE you? I don’t have time to listen to my fears as your lips meet mine again and your tongue dances in my mouth...

Oh my god. Kissing you makes my blood hot. I feel it rushing and pounding through my body as you push yourself against me greedily, demanding more.My cock swells as you devour me. I love the feeling of your hands firmly around my face, taking what you want. Suddenly, your hands move to the buttons of my shirt, and with a single pull, you rip my shirt buttons clean off. You step back and admire my bare chest, your eyes wide and wild. Then, you push me backwards with surprising strength towards the bedroom door.

I collide with the door and stumble backwards onto the bed. You follow me into the bedroom and...you rip your shirt off and tear away your jeans. Untamed dark curls pour over your small, lovely breasts. As you grasp at the waistband of my jeans, I notice a large scar across your abdomen. Three jagged lines that look a lot like they were caused by some sort of animal. You pull my jeans away and find my cock hard and waiting for you.

Those huge yellow eyes look into mine and you’re just as beautiful as you are terrifying. You take my cock in your mouth, your tongue hot and slick, and run it along my shaft. You take my cock all the way to the back of your throat before sliding it back out again. Your tongue flicks against the tip as your fingers dig into the flesh of my thighs. The pain is… so good...

Your sharp fingernails dig harder into my flesh. Your mouth moves faster. My hips buck and thrust towards your mouth. God, I want to feel myself inside of you. As if sensing my need, you slip my cock from your mouth and push me back roughly onto the bed.

You pin down my shoulders with amazing strength. I don’t think I could move if I wanted to. And I love that feeling. You straddle me and take my dick in your hand, guiding it towards your entrance.

You ease yourself onto me...and I fill your wet, warm pussy completely. I’m desperate to thrust into you, but you pin me down firmly. Your legs are locked around mine like a vice. You roll your hips, slowly. Faster, now…ohhh, god.

Even faster now...ohhh, god, yeah, ride my dick.Just like that! Fuck...

I watch your breasts bounce just slightly and your hair falling wildly around your face. Suddenly, you grab the back of my neck and pull me up. You put your face close to mine, and inhale deeply, just like before. Your golden eyes sparkle in the dark. And it’s only by the light of the moon coming in through the window that I see your teeth are sharp and pointed.

You sink your teeth into my shoulder as you continue to thrust against my cock. The sharp points of your nails dig into my back. Every one of my senses is overloaded...my blood pumps like crazy in my ears. Strength rushed through my body. I feel wild, careless...animal instinct is taking over completelyI grasp you tightly and thrust my hips into yours.

I push my face against your breasts, taking your nipple in my mouth and sucking hard. I hold you tight as you cum, thrusting in and out of you over and over again. Oh, fuck.

Ohhh, god, watching you cum. I’m… I’m almost there. Oh, fuck, yes, yes––!

You collapse next to me. Time feels...strange. Everything feels heightened, sharper almost. I can’t quite shake the mist that’s overcome me. When I open my eyes, I’m alone on the bed...what?

I move to the window of the bedroom. Under the moonlit sky, I see you running back towards the woods. As you reach the tree line, I swear I see your body changing. Becoming larger, and something taking over your skin…but before I can tell for sure, you’ve disappeared.

I’ve no idea who or what you are. But I’ve a feeling it won’t be the last time we encounter each other.

On the next full moon, perhaps…
