A Samantha

~Justin~

I have been checking the window and watching the door, for how long now I don't know. Once I got back to my place, I saw the men get into the SUV and drive. It was a struggle for them to make it across the street, but I have no sympathy. The challenge has been issued and now I have to wait to see what the response will be.

I look out the window again, but there is nothing there. Maybe I can actually sleep; maybe no will be coming for me tonight. A knock on my door pulls me out of my thoughts. I glance at my phone and it is a bit after 4 am. Is this it? Is this the response to my challenge? One knock turns into numerous knocks and the knocks are starting to sound more like bangs. If they were really trying to end me, why not bust through the door. I would be at a loss and they would be able to end things quickly.

I finally make my way to the door. I'm not going to lie and say that I'm not nervous. I have always been a few steps ahead of the company, but this time, I may not be so fortunate. I don't know how they got on top of me so fast so I'm at a loss as to how to stop them. I stand in front of the door and look through the peephole. I look away and look again because I'm sure the lack of sleep has me seeing things. When I look through the peephole again, everything is confirmed.

"Let me in, Justin! Now!"

I left the packhouse as quickly as I could. I was going to hop in a car, but decided to shift instead. I made sure to keep my clothes in my mouth and took off through the woods. The woods are dense enough to keep me covered as I get closer to the humans in town. The last thing anyone needs is for humans to spot me in wolf form or switching between the two.

I finally make it to the woods not too far from Justin's apartment and I shift back and put my clothes on. I make my way to Justin's door, going from knocking on it to banging on it. "Let me in, Justin! Now!" The door flies open and Justin grabs my wrist, pulling me into the place. I can feel the sparks all around my wrist, but now is not the time to dwell.

The room is dark, with the only light coming from the slight opening in the curtain, but I can still see thanks to my wolf vision. The place is scarcely decorated. There is a couch set up, but no TV. There are no pieces of art or pictures around anywhere. This place does not have a personal touch at all. "What the hell are you doing here, Janessa?" I turn to face Justin.

"Who are you?"

"What? What are you doing here?" I take a step closer to Justin.

"Again, who are you?"

"I don't know what you mean. Why are you here?" I take another step closer to Justin and his scent washes over me. I'm trying really hard to stay on topic rather than give into the mate bond. I try not to stare into his eyes, the eyes that seem to see right through me. I have to stay focused and find out who he is.

I take another step towards Justin and we are now inches from touching. His smell is overloading all of my senses. It feels as if there is electricity sparking between us. I'm not sure how much longer I can refrain from giving in.

Janessa keeps taking steps towards me and I haven't moved. Every step she takes should be me taking a step away, but I feel glued to my spot. I can't move an inch and I can't take my eyes off of her. She is gorgeous as always. Her lips are so plump and I can't help but imagine how soft they are. Her brown eyes are piercing mine and it feels like she can see my soul. I don't know what scent this is, but it is filling my every pore. I feel drawn to her like I always do. My thoughts are starting to run away from me. I am imagining her breasts in my hands and I'm gently squeezing them. I can see her on her knees, taking me into her mouth with her luscious lips wrapped around me. I want to reach down and grab her ass and pull her against me. My pants are getting tighter and I'm having trouble fighting the urge to grab her.

Janessa takes another step towards me. Her breasts are touching my chest and I swear I can feel her nipples tighten on me. I can feel her breath on my neck and goosebumps are forming. I'm losing my cool and I don't know how to stop it. My hands end up on her hips and I pull her tight against me. Janessa doesn't move or fight me. I bend down and slowly place my lips on her neck. I can feel goosebumps grow under my lips. I continue to kiss up her neck and across her jaw. Janessa still hasn't moved, but she is starting to breathe heavier. I make my way to her lips and pause. I stare deep into Janessa's eyes, giving her time to back away if she wants. I slam my lips to her and she responds in kind. I have never felt this when kissing someone. It is intense and pleasurable all at once. I can't get enough and her lips are as soft as they seem. Janessa opens her mouth giving me access to shove my tongue in and I do. I taste every inch of her mouth. Janessa starts to suck on my tongue and it is the most erotic thing I have ever experienced. She releases my tongue and we go back to our passionate kiss. Janessa moans in my mouth and I feel like a bucket of cold water has been dumped on my head. All of my senses come back and I'm horrified. I take a step back from her and she looks confused. "I…..I'm sorry." I take another step away from Janessa. "I can't do this to Samantha."

~Janessa~

Samantha? Samantha?! What the fuck is a Samantha?! I can hear Sky howling in my head. She is feeling the pain just as I am. My heart is constricting. It feels as if someone has my heart in their fist and they are squeezing tighter and tighter. I feel the air is leaving the room and I'm having trouble breathing. I say nothing. I turn around and run out of his apartment and I can hear him call my name after me. I don't turn around, I can't. I feel like my world is crumbling around me and I don't know how to stop it. I run back to the woods and shift into Sky, not caring about shredding my clothes.

The minute my paws hit the grass, Sky takes over. She takes off into the woods. She and I are both upset and in so much pain. He has someone. How could he have someone? I never smelled any one on him. I was given no indication that he was taken. He didn't mention anyone and nothing about a marriage or live-in girlfriend came up in his background check. His apartment didn't even have any other scent but his. I don't know what to do or how to stop my pain. Sky runs through the woods, and I pay no attention to where she is going. Eventually, she stops and howls in pain and then there is darkness.

I come to next to a lake. I know where I am, I'm deep in my territory. This has always been a place of calm and reflection for me. I guess Sky has always felt the same. I notice that I'm in human form. It must have all been too much for me and Sky retreated. The sun is out and shining bright. I get up and start to slowly walk back to the packhouse. It takes me some time to get back to the tree line. Once I do, I grab a shirt from one of the tree trunks and I continue my walk to the packhouse. I can see people getting set up for breakfast. I walk through the dining room and kitchen speaking to no one. I walk up the stairs past Gemma and Lana. I head to my office and go to my oversized windows. I slide down to the floor and wrap my arms around my knees. I can smell Gemma and Lana in the room, but I don't turn to look at them. I continue to look out the window. "He has a…..a Samantha," I say quietly, but I know they heard me. I feel two sets of arms wrap around me and we all just stay there for a while with no one speaking. He has a Samantha....
