That night, Theo lay in bed listening to Karen please herself yet again. She was so into it, he couldn't help but wrap his hand around his throbbing member and start stroking himself in time with her moans. His orgasm built quickly and he came with a grunt and a curse, when he heard her cum with his name on her lips.
Karen smiled a satisfied smile to herself, he wasn't the only one who could hear through the walls. She stretched and then got up to lay her clothes out for the day. As she rummaged through her panty drawer, an idea popped into her head. As she pulled out a purple satin bra and boy short set, a plan formed.
Running down to Becca's room, she burst in, only to find a tawny colored wolf laying on the bed with a ratty, stuffed animal that squeaked, in its mouth. Karen stared in shock for a second before bursting out into laughter
"Oh my god!" she cackled and the wolf shifted into Becca. Karen bent over and grabbed her sides and she continued to laugh. "Oh God. Becca!"
"I'm going to kill you!" Becca cried as she threw the stuffed animal at her doubled over friend.It squeaked on impact which made Karen laugh harder "Get out!"
Karen tried to calm her laughter, "I'm sorry," she snickered "I should have knocked."
Becca huffed and wrapped herself in a bathrobe "What do you want?" she asked sullenly.
Karen finally was able to calm her laughter "Seriously, I'm sorry Bec. I won't tell anyone. I promise. I was just excited because I have an idea for payback on Theo for his shit at the gym today."
Becca glared at her, but her curiosity was too great and she smiled. "Okay, what's the plan?"
Karen whispered it in her ear and they both giggled like school children.
The next day, a gently knock on his front door woke Theo up from a deep sleep. Groaning he got out of bed and made his way downstairs. Halfway down, he saw a small piece of paper slip under his door.
"What the...?" he said quietly as he descended the rest of the stairs. He stooped down and snatched up the small piece of paper. On one side, in delicate a hand, was two words:
Purple, Satin.
"Purple?" he whispered to himself as he looked at the door. He yanked it open, but no one was there. He looked around and spotted a figure walking towards the main hall. He'd recognize that walk anywhere. Immediately, his mind went to it's daily question of what type of lingerie she was wearing. The answer hit him like a ton of bricks as he looked down at the piece of paper again.
"Oh my god." he groaned as he stared at the neat script, his body jerking to life. She was wearing purple satin lingerie today. That knowledge kept him preoccupied all day, through his shower, breakfast, and various meetings, all he could think about was her delectable body clad in purple satin.
Finally, he decided to go to the gym to try and work out his pent up frustration. Once at the gym he threw himself into a demanding routine. He barely noticed when a short, slender, theta cleared his throat to get his attention. Theo stopped, and turned towards the man who looked a little sick.
"Are you okay?" Theo asked, his protective nature flaring to life.
"Sir," the theta said "I was directed to give this to you. I was heavily warned not to look at it, so I didn't." He swallowed. "I know that the rules are to open any suspicious mail before giving it to one of the pack leaders, but I was threaten life and limb. Please don't be mad." he held out his shaking hand that held a small, white envelope.
"You are not in trouble." Theo said calmly taking the envelope and placing a hand on the theta's shoulder "Can you tell me who threatened you?"
The theta nodded before answering "The human female. I have no doubt that she could cause great harm. Everyone knows that she is on par with Beta Becca."
Theo growled softly, making the theta before him quiver and bare his neck. Shaking his head Theo gently squeezed the man's shoulder "Do not fret. It is her that I am mad at. Not you. Be at peace. Thank you for bringing this to me."
The theta nodded and rushed off leaving Theo seething. He knew that she didn't know pack law or behavior, but to threaten a poor theta, it was unacceptable. He glared at the envelope. Hesitantly he opened it and pulled out a single small piece of paper. On it was a picture of Karen, striking a seductive pose in her purple, satin lingerie. Theo felt like he had been kicked in the gut, his member immediately going rock hard. He gently tucked the picture away and stalked out of the gym.
I'm going to kill her.
He growled to himself, both he and his wolf torn between anger and lust.
No. I'm going to teach her a lesson.
His wolf sent him steamy images of what those lessons could be
Yep. I'm going to teach her a lesson, and then I'm going to fuck her brains out, then I might kill her
. His wolf chuffed in agreement.
Karen walked the woods wondering if he had gotten her picture yet. She felt kind of bad after telling the young man that she'd chop off his arm and make him eat it if he looked. He looked so scared. Couldn't he tell she was joking? Lost in thought, she didn't notice someone creeping up behind her. Theo used all of his training to track and stalk her silently. He got closer and closer until he was finally able to lean down and whisper in her ear as she walked.
"You're in trouble, Missy."
Without a second thought, Karen stepped back into the person behind her, bringing her head back making contact. Spinning around, she grabbed an arm, using her momentum to bring the attacker up and over, slamming them into the ground. She followed him down, a knee on his throat and a knife at his armpit.
Theo was in shock. No one had taken him down like that in a very, very long time. He looked up at the beautiful, wild woman on top of him.
"Karen." He said softly, realizing that her eyes were a shade darker than normal and void of all life. This was not the same Karen he had come to know these past few weeks. Instead this was a deadly warrior, trained to protect herself at all costs. She didn't seem to register the name and dug deeper into his neck with her knee
"What do you want?" she growled, not noticing who it was under her knee from the dapple shadows on the ground.
Theo grunted softly and did something he never thought he would do to a female, much less a small, human one. Slowly, he raised his chin and turned his head, baring his neck in submission.
"Sweetness..." he croaked under the pressure of her knee.
Karen blinked a few times, and his face finally registered in her head, as it caught the light.
"Oh my god!" she cried as she flung herself off of him, the knife disappearing back where it came from. She quickly scuttled backwards until she hit a tree, and she scrambled to her feet.
Theo sighed, rubbing his neck while he propped himself up with his other hand. He chuckled quietly and he looked at the now terrified woman plastered against a tree.
"Mental note," he said roughly "Don't sneak up on Karen."
"I'm sorry!" she blurted skirting around the tree slightly "I'm so, so sorry!"
Theo moved to get up, and go comfort her, but in a flash she took off down the path at a surprising speed.
Groaning, Theo let himself fall back to the ground.
"Well," he said to no one in particular "that was interesting."
His wolf chuffed back, just as stunned as he was. Then he wagged his tail and spread out his front feet in a playful manner, sending a steamy image of Theo and Karen sparring naked. The man groaned and laughed "Yeah, it would have been hot if she didn't have a knife at my heart."
The wolf gave him the equivalent of a shrug and smiled lopsidedly, his tongue hanging out, reminding him that they loved danger and a challenge. The simply groaned again and shook his head as he got up.
Taking his time he made his way back to the duplex. He quietly crept across the porch and entered his side. He didn't want her to know that he was home and right next to her. Once inside he made his way to his bedroom to wait and see if she would leave again.
Karen ran all the way back to the house, only stopping when the door was shut behind her. Gasping in great gulping breaths she slid down against the door to the floor. She could have killed him. The thought shook her to her core.
At least your training is still up to par
a small voice in the back of her mind said.
Karen let out a deep sigh. That was a really true point, she hadn't been training on her defensive skills, only her sparring with Becca. It was nice to know that all of those many years of training were still imbedded in her, but still...
After a few minutes sitting on the floor, she got up and made herself a cup of tea. God what she wouldn't give to talk to Josh, tentatively, she called out with her mind.
Josh?
She thought,
I could really use you right now
A warmth slowly spread throughout her body.
"Hey there sugar cube." drawled a familiar voice.
Looking up, Karen let out a small cry of joy and flung herself at her best friend. He hugged her tight, and she could feel all the little pieces of her broken life start to mend.
"I've missed you so much!" she sobbed, the tears flowing uncontrollably
"I've missed you to Karebear." he responded in a shaky voice.
They simply held each other for a while, reaffirming their bond. Finally Josh gently untangled himself from her and stepped away.
"We have a lot of talking to do." he said simply.
Karen chuckled and nodded leading him to the sofa in the living room. They sat down and Karen snuggled into him.
"First," he started with a touch of amusement in his voice "I see your tattoo has grown."
Karen mocked him silently before slapping his chest. "Yeah, way to warn me about how AWFUL it is when it grows. Jesus."
