Chapter Fourteen




After having eaten all the juicy fruit, Armand decided we needed a bath to get rid of all the stickiness from breakfast. He picked me up and took me to the bathroom. He placed me on only the only seat of the room. I was giggling uncontrollably. I felt high on life. I wanted to shout to the world how happy I was at that moment. I didn't though, because it wasn't proper. Grans always said a lady should acted proper around others. Armand turned the water on and started to laugh too. "Will you stop that?" he whispered. "Why?" I asked in my childish voice. "It is very distracting. Besides, you don't know how erotic that laugh really is." "How erotic is it, sweet kitten?" "Erotic enough that one could lose all thought on what one is doing."

Did that comment stop me? No, it most certainly did not. I don't care if we flooded the bathroom. I was in a mood to play and I wanted to play. I stood up off the commode and quietly walked toward the door. I was going to run out into the night and climb the biggest tree I found.

Armand didn't turn back around when I stood next to the door but he somehow knew what I was about to do. "Ana, you leave this room and I will catch you before you open that front door." That made me smile, "Then catch me." I was going to win. I popped into my little bubble and headed out the door. I went to the front door and opened it as fast as I could. Armand was there two seconds after me. I moved slowly back across the living room. I went inside my room and climb out the window. I balanced myself on a pine branch. I could hear Armand searching every tree out front in the courtyard. I stepped out of my bubble and began to change into my beast. After all, the girl needs to come out once in awhile.

I never have figured out how to conceal myself during change. The day I could do that would be the day I will have total control over my beast. I had finished the change when Armand came around the corner. He looked so tasty in the moonlight, all naked. I set myself up to pounce on him. All the while I purred with excitement. Armand stopped fifteen feet away from the tree and looked up. He smiled at me and I heard a voice inside my head, 'Damn, you are beautiful to look at.'

I knew it wasn't Logan talking to me. He doesn't use that kind of language around me. This was new. Armand was changing there on the sidewalk. Black fur growing, bones breaking and reforming. His bare skin sliding down his fur making the moon light dance on him. When the show was over, he crept ever so slowly towards the tree. I knew right then he would play with me. I ignored the new person's voice and jumped from my perch. I landed two stories down, on my front paws with a soft thud in the grass by the tree. I ran the opposite direction from where Armand was posed.

When I say posed, I mean posed. He was in a tight formation ready to spring at me when I drew near. I ran as fast as my paws could carry me. I ran around the complex, into the parking lot. Two cars pulled into the lot and I remembered that shifter play was forbidden in the parking lot. I made a sharp right and leapt on top of a Black Toyota 4 runner. The car alarm went off. I padded across the hood of the S.U.V. and jumped the black iron fence.

Armand was waiting for me. I was not going to give up. I backed away a couple of steps. Then I ran at him at full force and jumped over him. I landed six feet away from him and ran back to the courtyard. I stopped in the middle of the lupanar circles. The oaks were wide-awake and wanted to talk to me. Their words hit all at once and sent shimmers down my fur. I looked back to see Armand not far behind. I turned to the leopard circle on my left and jumped into the tree. I climbed up into the high branches and relaxed. Normally I would have changed back into my human form but I just couldn't make a good excuse why I was naked and up in a tree. I lounged on the tree and listened to its woes.

I got a pretty interesting tale from them. They have been here for many years and watched many shifters come and go. They missed the blood rituals performed here. They got used to feeding off the blood and wanted more. I didn't know what to say. I said nothing. I relaxed some more and felt myself become sleepy.

Next thing I knew, Armand was lying on top of me licking my fur. I got all my playfulness out and was ready to sleep again. By this time, the sun was fully up over the mountains to the east. It had to be around six thirty. I looked to Armand, "I...am...reeadyy...forrrr...myyy...bath." I leaned into him letting him clean my body. The little bath felt erotic. It's hard to explain because I never had feelings like this before. I purred in response to all the places he cleaned. I decided to return the favor and clean him. I twisted my body in half and licked behind his ears. This made him stop and stare at me. I heard words dancing in my head, "Keep this up and I'll show you what it is like to mate in animal form."

I could read his thoughts. When did THAT happen? I was shocked by what he thought. Then I became curious, what would it be like to mate in our present forms? I licked his face. He stopped what he was doing. He gave a low growl deep inside his throat. I knew what he meant; it was a warning not to push him. I licked his face again and that was the breaking point.

In a heartbeat he had pushed my body around and mounted me from behind. I felt his manhood enter me on the second beat. I wrapped my tail around his hind leg. In no time, we had a steady rhythm going. It was so exciting, what we were doing. Dawn came and went. The dew was still fresh on the ground and here we were balanced on this tree limb mating. I dug my claws into the branch. I felt bad when I did because the oak became upset.

The tree tried to move us off its limb. It began to shake. The shaking only made things better. I was climbing to a climax, along with Armand. Power was building higher and then the tree stop shaking. I could feel the power plants have when I feed them. Armand and I were still going higher in our fulfillment when I felt the other two oaks join in the feeding. I looked down to the limb and notice that half of my body was changing to human form. I was glowing. I thought, "How weird is this?"

We hit climax and the world went spinning. We fell to the ground. I heard whispers from the oaks saying thank you. I was so happy that I could please them. Oaks were always my favorite to feed. I rolled over to Armand and licked his chin and mouth. It was the only way I knew to tell him how I felt. I heard footsteps headed our way and knew we would be seen if we didn't leave. I nipped him behind his ear and changed by body back to full animal form. I ran back towards my bedroom window. He followed me without any coaxing.

I hit my room in no time flat and began the change to my human form. I finished changing back when Armand was climbing through the window. I lay on my bed laughing at the thought of someone finding us doing what we did. Armand stood before me in all his glory. It amazed me how gorgeous he was from head to toe. He had several strands of hair still hanging across his face. I had the urge to move them back into place. I went to my knees and smiled. A cautious look went across his face, "Why did you change like that?"

"I couldn't stop it. Everything was so beautiful. I didn't know I was doing it until it was to late. Sorry?" I began to tremble. The fear of rejection was coming on strong. He sniffed my body and touched it lightly, "I'm sorry. You frighten me a little when I saw what you look like after the fall. You were complete human on top and all cat on the bottom." He smiled, "And I know you were in animal form when we started." I began to blush. He kissed the top of my head. We snuggled close to each other.

There was a tap on the door and I heard Abby's voice, "Ana are you awake? Doctor Peters is here to check on you." "Just a minute," I replied. I felt caught with my hand in the cookie jar. What would he think seeing Armand in the room in his birthday suit? Armand answered my worries, "Shshsh, He would probably scold us because you didn't get enough rest. I'll go out the door and let him in." He picked up his jeans from the floor and put them on. He grabbed his shirt off the floor and threw it my direction. I hastily put it on. He opened the door and greeted Abby and Dr. Peters.

Armand was right. Dr. Peters did scold me for not resting. He even hinted that he saw a strange leopard running around the complex, with who he thought was Armand. He dismissed that it might be us because we were still in the bedroom. He said that I would be able to go out tonight only if I stayed in the bed the rest of the day. Someone walked into the room and asked, "Why should my great-granddaughter stay in her bed?"
