The head was still inside of her, but I refused to give in to those natural urges. That reserve of strength crumbled underneath her watchful gaze.
She finished one orgasm and moved on to the second one almost simultaneously. This one was stronger than the first, pleasing and teasing until there was nothing left to do.
I walked the tightrope without a net. The fall was spectacular and gave me that sense of free-floating. The moment of truth hit me like a ton of bricks.
One thing remained to be done.
I buried it one last time and held completely still well aware of what was going to happen. It felt like somebody had reached in and turned me inside out. The power of the dam bursting almost brought me to tears.
Lying over the top of her let me kiss the back of her neck and spine to prolong the ecstasy for as long as possible. She drained me and I had nothing left in reserve.
Being completely empty was a new and foreign concept for me.
A haze hung over the bed.
It made me smile when I saw the aftershock tremors when I was lying behind her. The intimacy temporarily snuffed out my pleasure.
"Where do we go from here?" she whispered.
"There's a lot of work to do to get the land and make it ours but I want you there with me. I know I'm asking a lot. You won't have to give up everything. You can still have one foot in this world. Are you ready for a new adventure?" I asked in return.
"On one condition," she said with one finger raised.
"All you have to do is say it. I will give it to you if it is in my power," I answered with my lips touching the nape of her neck.
"I want you to move in with me. We can commute from your world to mine on a regular basis. It's going to be difficult to juggle, but I think we can manage with a little help from our friends," she referred to Jack and Luke picking up the slack in our absence.
"You have yourself a deal. Do you want to shake on it?" I teased.
She twisted her head to look at me. "I think we can do better than that." Her hand moved to touch me. It was time for round two. .

SARAH
One year later and things were progressing nicely. It was interesting how easy it was to adjust to a life that seemed fantastical. The others took a little while to accept me. Some said disparaging things about me behind my back.
I made inroads by getting the land designated as a conservation area. It would receive protection. There would be no exploitation of natural resources by outside forces.
Being a senator gave me a modicum of power. It made me feel good to do that for them.
The boundaries of the protected area would include every acre. An invisible fence was erected. Anybody trespassing would immediately face prosecution. It was considered off-limits.
The canopy of trees became a natural camouflage. The building blocks of a society came about quickly. Others traveled far and wide to join the pack. Word had gotten out this was the place to be.
I walked among the locals. They were in human and wolf forms. They were comfortable living off the land. The food was plentiful, and the water was brought in via an aqueduct.
Fresh water was something people took for granted. The wolves worked together to build something special and long-lasting.
I didn't even flinch when a hand touched my shoulder.
"We should have another three buildings built before the first snowfall. We have radiant heat in the floors courtesy of a hot spring nearby. The pipes give us natural heating for our homes. Just look at how happy they are. This is what I have always wanted and dreamed about. I don't mean to get emotional," Flex said with his voice cracking.
They were hard at work putting on the finishing touches of our new home. The planning stages took longer than expected. Building materials didn't come cheap but most could be found in nature. Plumbing and other more hard-to-come-by supplies had to be bought on a budget.
We lived in tents for almost six months. It made me appreciate indoor plumbing when we went to live at my place for half of the month. My office was extremely busy but I knew how to delegate. Jack was taking much of the work and thriving with his new responsibility.
