The man was turned on by my open sexuality. His grin widened. "You like what you see?"

"Hell yeah," I blurted.

"You want some?" he offered.

My mouth watered. I almost did one of those begging things a dog does, sitting on his hind legs with his paws up and panting. I did have to swallow down a small bark of agreement. Kyle didn't say I would have doggish ways outside the moon, damn it. Maybe it was all included in that first year deal.

What could it hurt to sleep with this guy when it wasn't a full moon? "Sure," I said as nonchalantly as possible. He indicated my half full cart. "You want to finish that first?"

Was he crazy? I grabbed hold of his arm and dragged him toward the exit. I hoped he didn't mind doing it in the car because I was going to be ripping apart those sweat pants as soon as the car door closed.

We were in the parking lot. The guy was lying in the car and I was outside it pacing back and forth and chewing my fingernails to nubs. Customers occasionally eyed me as they came and went from the store, but I did my best not to look like a lunatic out there so no one would call the cops.

"Where the fuck is he?" I screeched for the fifth time. As soon as I said that, a red sports car turned down my row and parked in the open space beside me. Kyle slipped out looking as yummy as he had the night before. I swallowed my desires, which I should have done with the guy in my car. The grey eyes turned almost black didn't look happy. "One night, Chelle," he grumbled. "One freaking night and you screw up."

"Look, I'm sorry. I'm new, and I don't need you coming down here getting on me about it. I've already been kicking myself."

"Oh you don't need me?"

"You know what I mean!" I nearly screamed it. He marched up on me, getting in my face. "You called me. Remember that. Said you killed a human." He lifted me up off my feet so that they dangled in the air while he looked like he was going to bite my head off. "Did you have sex with him?"

"Are you jealous?"

He let me fall. I crumpled to the ground and then scrambled to my feet embarrassed. Why couldn't he have had turned me into a cat, with grace and beauty? By the time I 34

was ready to attack him for his rough treatment, he was already opening my back door and cursed up a storm when he saw the man.

"Damn it, Chelle!" He glanced around to see if anyone was around. No one was near. It was getting late. Kyle reached inside to check the guy's pulse. "He's alive." I breathed a sigh of relief. "I cracked his skull really hard on the side of the door. I mean
really
hard."

"I can feel. He's bleeding from a head wound ... and several other places. I'll have to take care of him."

"W-What do you mean take care of him?" My throat had gone dry.

"Don't worry about it."

"Can't we just take him to the hospital?" I had called Kyle because I thought I had murdered a human, and panic had made me crazy for a little while. When I calmed, I remembered he had given me contact numbers and instructions to call any time I needed him. I was sure he didn't expect the call the very next day. Kyle at first didn't answer. He shut my door and faced me with a grim look on his face. "Well let's see. You had sex with him."

"I didn't!" Calming myself, I looked at the ground. "I didn't get to that, I was so worked up."

He sighed, not seeming to be anymore relieved that I admitted not riding the guy like I wanted to. "Either way, at some point, you went nuts with his body. He looks like a pin cushion. You dug your nails into his body like you did me. And 35

from the looks of it, you bit him. I told you in no uncertain terms are you to bite a human or they will turn!" I gasped. "Oh no. Oh no. He's going to..."

"No, he won't."

I frowned, "But you said—"

"If you bite a human as a werewolf, he will turn. If you bite him as a human, you will cause us and all our kind a hell of a lot of trouble. If I take him to the hospital, they will find traces of your wolf DNA in him. It will mutate his cells but not allow him to turn into a werewolf. They will have a field day trying to figure out what's with the mutations. And we will be at risk. Do you get it?"

I nodded dumbly. I didn't really get it, but I was feeling overwhelmed with thoughts of almost destroying this human's life as mine had been. Kyle didn't admit what he would do, but what could he do? Would the mutations cease after while?

Would his human immune system fight off my wolf infection?

I thought it wasn't likely, but I was too terrified to ask. Right then, I was good with blissful ignorance. When I didn't say anything, Kyle stepped up to me. He shook me a few times, and I was just about to drag a newly grown nail across his face when he stopped. "You cannot have sex with a human. You cannot, Chelle. Can't!"

"Okay, okay. I get it."

Without warning, he released me and leaned down to kiss my lips. For a while, we silently tongue-kissed, moaning with pleasure. I slid my hand down to his dick and found it hard. I was about to reach in and take hold of it, but he stopped me 36

and drew back. "We have to get out of here. Get in your car and follow me."

This time, I didn't hold back. I dragged my nails across his face and cussed him out. He simply turned on his heels and slipped into his car. When he had started his engine, he looked back at me waiting. I saw that the scratch on his left cheek was already fading.

The ass didn't leave me any choice. I walked around to the driver's side of my car and climbed in. Soon we were pulled over to the side of a dark road with no streetlights. We killed the headlights on our cars and turned off the overhead light. Both of use could see just fine in the pitch black. Kyle popped his trunk and pulled out a blanket to spread over the passenger side of his car. He transferred the human from my car to his and then pulled out a spray bottle and a cloth from his trunk.
What the fuck?
He had obviously done this before.

Before he started cleaning the door and backseat of my car, he indicated a spot a little down the road. "Go over there. This will hurt your nose."

When he turned his head, I flipped him the bird and did as he said. The man was right. When that liquid hit the leather, even from yards away, the sting in my nostrils was intense. I yelped and covered my nose. Tears filled my eyes, and I jumped up and down. How was I going to drive home with that smell?

Turned out that I didn't have to worry. Whatever the concoction was, the scent faded quickly. As I jogged back over, I heard Kyle on his cell giving instructions to someone. 37

He didn't explain what he had said or what he intended. I sighed.

He put away his cleaning supplies and closed his trunk before turning back to me. "I've arranged for everything. Chelle, don't let this happen again."

"I won't. I promise."

For a moment he stood glaring at me as if determining if I was serious, and then he looked down at my shorts and strappy heels. "Take those off." I didn't ask questions. I kicked off my shoes and stepped out of my shorts and panties. I knew just what he intended. Kyle hiked me up on the hood of my car, checked to see if I was wet—of course I was—and let me have it. Right there on the side of a dark road, with a guy unconscious in his car, two werewolves were humping each other like the animals they were.

I whimpered and gripped his ass cheeks while I wrapped my legs around him. In one night, I had forgotten how big Kyle was. His shaft filled me and stretched my cootchie, plunging deep and hard until I screamed my climax into the quiet night air.

Knowing I prefer day, my boss put me on night shift all that first week. And wouldn't you know I couldn't sleep during the day which meant I was out by nine and late for work at eleven-thirty at night. I tried sneaking in behind a delivery of boxes to the loading dock, but he was standing right there waiting.

"Chelle!"

"What!"

The man was all of four feet nine with a gigantic belly that always made me imagine he was carrying triplets. He tugged at what was left of his hair when I agitated him. I never saw whether he did it with other people. "Chelle, you're half hour late! You obviously don't need this job." I panicked. "That's not true, Mr. Nowicky. I do need this job. Bad." Even more now since I was waiting for the appetite to chill. "Look, I'm sorry. You know I have a hard time with the night shift."

"Everybody rotates. Period!" He sniffed. "You're not special. Now since you can't get in here when the floor assignments are done, you can take the perfume counter for a couple hours."

Shit no!
"Mr. Nowicky, nobody even comes in here to buy perfume in the middle of the night. You have got to be freaking kidding me." I wanted to say 'fucking' but the last time I did, he had the nerve to dock me. What was I going to do; he held all the cards.

39

He didn't give a rat's ass apparently. He turned away and began scanning his clipboard like the matter was closed. I ran after him.

"Please reconsider. I can't do the perfume counter. I just can't!" All too well, I remembered the smell of that crap Kyle used to clean my car. A perfume counter must be a thousand times worse. And to test my thought, I lifted my nose to the air. Wicky-Mart was forty thousand square feet and the perfume counter was near the front with me standing in the docking area at the back. The strong scent lit the air around me. I sneezed a few times.

Mr. Nowicky turned back to me with a serious expression of dislike in his eyes. "You can work there for the rest of your shift, or you can go home and not come back." When he swung away again, I snarled at the back of his head, thinking surely Kyle could get a friend to dump this jerk in a back alley somewhere. That thought made me remember the other human, and I nearly lost the dinner I had scarfed down earlier. I was still convincing myself that Kyle had taken him to a friend who knew how to make him better, and that he was back to his own life no worse for the wear. Accepting my fate, I schlepped myself up to the front. The closer I came to the perfume, the more my nose burned. By the time I got there, I was holding my nose, my eyes were running, I was sneezing uncontrollably and my head was pounding.

I had miserably waved away two customers looking for other departments when Ree came strutting around the corner. As usual she was wearing something too short and 40

too tight, with cleavage coming at you live. I eyed her weave which one of her men had paid for her to get for five hundred dollars. Oh yes, my hair had grown out some in the short time I had been a werewolf. Just this morning, I had woke up with it a good three inches longer and seemingly twice as thick. Streaks of brown mixed with the black. But mine wasn't silky and bone straight like Ree's. My hair was thick and coarse. I hated it.

"Hey, girl," Ree exclaimed. "Oh my goodness, what did you do with your hair. Sexy!"

"Sexy!" I shrieked around sneezes, "it's wild and uncontrollable. I can only pull it into a ponytail because out it's too big." I grabbed hold of the end of my hair. "And look, it's still growing!"

"Well, baby, I think it's hot.' She grinned. "So what's up with the sneezing? Allergies?"

"Smell," I whimpered.

Ree took my arm and pulled me out from behind the counter. "Well, come on. I need a smoke break. You can keep me company."

We strolled down an aisle, zigzagging through the store in Ree's zany idea of a stealth move to avoid our boss. Funny thing was, it usually worked. The girl was seriously lucky. We were almost to the outside door when my nose began to clear and the sneezing stopped.

Ree rubbed my back. "Damn, girl. You got it bad. You should tell the old freak you can't work the perfume counter. You're liable to sneeze out a lung." 41

I rolled my eyes. "I told his ass, but he didn't care because I was late. I can't do it though, Ree. There's no way I'll last all night. My, uh, allergy is worse than you can imagine." I wasn't sure yet if I wanted to share my secret with her. Kyle had said to keep my mouth shut, but this thing was a big deal. I needed somebody I could confide in. And since Ree didn't have that many girlfriends—something about their men not keeping their eyes off her ass—she was the only one I had to share with.

The employees' side door, where most of us who smoked gathered, came into sight but I stopped cold. Now that my nose was clear, I could smell again and something strange was in the air. I turned to Ree.

"Go ahead; I'll catch up. Gotta pee." She went out and I turned to go sniffing around. Over in the pet section against the back wall was a guy standing in front of the kittens, watching them play. The scene wasn't unusual. Plenty of people liked watching the little fur balls, satisfying that longing for a pet while not taking on the responsibility and expense. But this guy wasn't right somehow. And the kittens were all pressed up against the back wall of their cages, mewling like a dog was bearing down on them.
A dog?

I sniffed the air again.
Fuck!
Werewolf.

I strolled as casually over to him as I could. "Um, sir, I'm afraid you're upsetting the animals. I'm going to have to ask you to move on. Sometimes they sense something about a person and—"

He turned to face me. My words stuck in my throat. The madness Kyle mentioned that's possible when a werewolf eats the wrong thing? Bingo. Here it was. His eyes had that crazed look. They were just plain black, no distinguishable pupil and the hooded coat he wore was covering the fact that he was apparently stuck in werewolf form.
