Page 52 of Under A New Moon

In the distance, a wolf could be heard as it bayed at the moon, sending shivers down his spine and, no doubt, hers.

"I feel the same, Galen," Darla said as they continued their ascent up the hillside. "Where are you taking me anyway?"

"There is a little cave up here that I noticed coming in," he puffed a little air out, getting winded from the climb. "Part way up from where the pack is."

"I hope it's not too much further," she said as she rubbed an arm to fight off a chill. "It's getting colder out here."

"It usually does get colder at night out here," Galen offered, as he helped her over a fallen tree trunk. "Outsiders aren't prepared for it."

Darla's toe caught the edge of a branch as she climbed over the trunk. She fell on top of Galen and caused him to fall backward, with her body on top of his. Galen felt his dick get hard beneath her.

"Umm, I'm sorry," Darla tried to move off of him, but he grabbed her around the waist and kissed her deeply. It set a fire ablaze inside of her and she wanted more.

Galen helped her up and then stood himself, as he swiped dried leaves and earth from his pants. He turned and Darla smacked his ass, pretending to get more earthen debris from his clothing.

The musty smell of the soil-filled her nostrils and she remembered being a kid and camping with her family in the Poconos.

She turned to allow Galen to lead on. A few more strides and they reached a short plateau that was surrounded by trees. A small cave was barely visible in the waning light of day.

"So, this is it?" she wiped her hands on her pants.

"What?" he smiled over to her playfully. "You don't like the first place that I want to make love to you in?"

He led her into the cave and lit a small fire. She could see it was already prepared with various furs and some wine. The dampened smell of earth was chased away as the fire roared and crackled. As was the darkness.

"Take me? In a cave?" quizzically she asked. "Are we safe? I mean here with your dad and the pack?"

"Darla. I don't know of a safer place at the moment," he hung his head and shrugged his broad muscular shoulders. "Besides, I wanted to bring you to meet my dad, knowing that we are fated to be together. I have to do what I can to protect you. To protect us."

Darla took Galen's hands in hers and gently swung them. "Then I guess, we hang here for now."

"Just until we can figure out what to do about all this bullshit happening," Galen's icy blue eyes pierced hers to the very core of her being and she believed him.

She moved her arms up and around his neck, while she pulled him down for his lips to meet hers in a passionate kiss. For a long moment, they remained there, locked in that kiss to allow the fires of passion to build and erupt into a flaming inferno.

His hands moved down her curvaceous frame and he squeezed her ass as she leaned into his massive sculpted chest. He picked her up and carried her over to the furs. He laid her down gently on the pile and smiled at her lovingly.

"I love you, Darla," he stared down into her eyes. He laid down next to her and began to play with her breasts. Galen unbuttoned her gear and shirt and tossed them to the rocky floor with a thud. "You don't need these tonight."

Running his hand under her bra and over a nipple, he felt it harden to his touch. He leaned over to kiss her as she brought her hands around his shoulders. His cock hardened just as her nipple did and excitement ran through his veins.

He began breathing heavier and wanted her the more he tasted. She was his dessert at the end of a meal full of veggies. Nothing tasted sweeter.

Nothing.

More than anything he wanted to please her and protect her from the harsh realities of this cruel world. She was a human soldier, but she wasn't invincible.

As he continued to kiss her, his hands left her breast and unbuckled her utility pants. His hand was difficult to get in there, but when he did…WOW!

Was she soaked…ready for another form of action. Her clit stood at attention and waited for orders from his manipulations. She took her hand and placed it over his in her pants and she started thrusting to his teasing of her clit.

He moved her bra with his teeth and began to lick and suck on her nipple. He enjoyed how her body responded to his touches and his desires.

He heard Darla as she moaned while he rubbed her nub and she continued to thrust, slowly at first, then faster and harder. She and Galen's hand worked her clit over until she tensed up. Her back arched up and she was breathing quickly and heavily.

Everything released in one quick moment as she wailed and shook in the warmth of the cave, surrounded by Galen's arms.

"I love you, too, Galen," she nestled her body next to his until the next round.
