Emotions Run Wild

Stroking Scarlet’s arm as she breathed deeply against my chest, I thought of what could be next in our relationship.

With Scarlet no longer under a deadline for her life, we could get married; go on an adventure somewhere exotic. I could show her my home in Texas.

I could make love to her and actually participate. No worries just love and the two of us.

“Scarlet-“ waiting for a response I was pleased when she pulled her head up to rest her chin on my chest, her gorgeous eyes watching me. “I meant what I said. I love you now and forever”

Pulling herself up from my body she leaned over and pressed her lips to mine. “I – I love you too,”

“OKAY LOVEBIRDS, EMMETT NEEDS SOME TENDER LOVE AND CARE TOO” falling on the two of us, Emmett crushed Scarlet into my chest. “AND WE SHOULD GO HUNTING LOVE BUT FIRST –let’s see how tough you really are!” winking at me he picked up Scarlet who was laughing for a change.

Had something occurred during her transformation that gave her that ability to feel again?

“I am telling you Em I beat your ass fair and square. Now I am starving!”

Standing from the couch where I had been seated I moved to her side and pulled her flush against me. I enjoyed the way she fit perfectly.

“I will show you how to hunt,” glaring at Emmett when he pouted and tried to follow us out of the house, I slowed only when we stood deep in the forest. “Listen to what’s around you?

Follow your instincts and we shouldn’t run into any – but if there are any humans I will stop you from getting to close.”

Watching her still as she let the forest fill her senses, I let her fill my own.

The way her body moved slowly, the way her hair moved in breeze and she made no move to stop it from fanning across her skin.

I could see her chest rise as she breathed in the scents around us and could have laughed when her nose twitched obviously picking up on something around us.

I wasn’t surprised when she took off running around the trees in search of the scent. Giving her sometime to find her prey, I smiled. I loved everything about Scarlet and being able to imagine what my existence – no my life could be with her made ever bad thing that happened since meeting her, the doubts and fears, simply just fade away.

Taking off in the direction she had gone, I followed her scent until I came upon her feeding on a deer. Staying back so as not to startle her, I watched her sure and steady movements that I could only describe as Scarlet.

As usual I felt nothing but my own feelings around Scarlet; something I was going to have to get used too.
