"Shift Zaryn. Tell me what you found. Was there anyone there?" I whisperer nervously.

He shifted instantly, no clothes to cover himself since his previous ones were torn from the first shift. I averted my eyes once they came in contact with his finely muscular and sculpted body.. His member was very large for a male of his size and age. I kept my eyes straight ahead but my wolf wanted to admire him.. Every inch of him. I wouldn't let her.

He sat next to me, naked, and grabbed my hand in his. "I didn't find any trace of anyone else. There was a faint scent but I couldn't pin point it. It was probably from earlier in the day. Lots of rabbits are out so there's nothing to worry over Nova." His voice was husky.

I gulped, feeling fire spread through me at the mere thought of him naked beside me. He was the most beautiful specimen I had ever seen... His hand clutching mine sent electricity straight to my lower region.

"Zaryn don't you have any clothes in the woods?" My voice broke at the end. I silently cringed at how my voice sounded...

He let out a breathy laugh. "Not here. I have some closer to the pack house down below. Why? Are you embarrassed?" He was amused...

I snatched my hand out of his grasp and turned to glare at him. "No.. I just think it would be appropriate considering..."

"Considering you want me and I want you?" He teased. "You can look. I don't mind. You can also touch if you want.."

"Zaryn! " I gaped at him before finding myself glancing down at his hard chest which went down to washboard abs and then down to his erect member standing tall. My eyes widened and I instantly felt heat creep into my cheeks as I looked away quickly. He chuckled in response.

"Sorry Nova. Its the side affects of being close to you." I watched out of my perriphrial as he stood up beside me, taking my hand and tugging for me to stand. I sighed, standing up and turned to look into his eyes which held emotions I have only ever seen from him.

Wonder.

Lust.

Want.

"Nova I want to show you something .. Follow me." He tugged on my hand for me to follow and I did. I tried not to pay attention to the glorious muscles flexing in his ass but found myself glancing ever so often as he led me through the wooded forest behind us, away from the trail that led back to the pack house.

Moments later he stopped. He turned to face me, hands on my hips as he smiled down at me flashing his perfect white teeth.

"Look up." He smirked.

I tilted my head back, glancing up into the tree tops, seeing a good sized tree house at the very top of a giant oak tree. My mouth fell open as I glanced back down at Zaryn.

"When did this get here?" I asked with wonder. I know these woods.. I have never seen this here.

He smiled a knowing smile. "I built this myself when I was fourteen. No one knows about it aside from your brother. He helped. We told no one about it. He's forgotten about it all these years. Come. I want to show you."

Unsure, I bit my lip. "Are there clothes up there for you to wear?" I rose a brow.

He chuckled, shrugging his shoulders. "Let's find out."

He took my hand and placed it on the first ladder rung which was a block of wood nailed into the tree. I glanced back at him, unsure.

"Go on. I'll be right behind you. I would go first but I doubt you would want a face full of -"

"Okay! Okay I'm going!" I sighed, hiding my smile at his words. Rung after rung, I climbed my way to the top, feeling his eyes on my ass and bare legs. I continued, coming up through a trap door and hauling myself up into the sturdy tree house. It was dark but the full moon over head allowed me to see that the tree house was a pretty decent size. I stood, noticing I had plenty of room.

Zaryn climbed into the treehouse, shutting the door behind him and grabbing a spray near by, spraying the treehouse floors.

"What's that?" I asked, noticing it didn't have a smell.

He looked up at me, blue eyes glowing beneath the moon beams. "It's a scent masker. So no one will smell us here. I use to use it when I wanted to be alone and hide from everyone."

I walked around the room, noticing a hammock at the far corner and a bookshelf with a lot of werewolf books next to it... A twin sized mattress in the other corner with a blanket and pillow. I wonder if he had slept here when he was young.

I whipped to face him with curiosity. "I know these woods. The clearing is my special spot. How come I've never seen this here?" I glanced out the window, seeing the exact spot we were at moments earlier in the distance. My special rock was visible.

He sighed, coming up behind me. "I built this when I was fourteen, you were about ten. You and Deacon would come up here all the time when you guys were around eleven.. That's when I would sit up here and I would just watch you as creepy as it sounds. I had a crush on you though I would have never admitted to it. I was fifteen then and you were just eleven. Sometimes when you were by yourself, I would just sit and watch you for hours. I'd mask my scent so you'd never smell me but this treehouse is camouflaged on the outside with limbs and ivy so its not noticeable with the naked eye. Especially not with the tree canopies hiding it." His breath was now on my ear, his body right behind mine. I could feel the heat from him flow into me from being so close.

He liked me even then?

"Nova. Look at me." He turned my body to face him. His blue eyes pled with me to understand.. To love him.

But I can't . not right now. If Ever.

I took a deep breath, "I would come up here by the stream sometimes to think about you Zaryn. You should have said something." I admitted. His eyes widened a fraction.

"You did? God Nova.. I wish I would have but I always believed it would ruin our families since we both had mates out there . if I had known it was you... I would have confessed my love for you." He admitted. My breath caught and he closed his eyes tight, head bowing down at realization of what he just said.

He loved me..

Its too late now..

"Dont let me down, Zaryn." I breathed.

"Zaryn.." My hand reached up, cupping his cheek as his eyes found mine once more. We studied each other for a moment before his lips found mine in a passionate kiss. Hands on my hips pulled me into his hard body and I felt his excitement against my stomach as his tongue invaded my mouth. Breathing heavy, his hands pushed up into my shirt, finger tips running against the flesh at my waist, reaching higher over my ribs before lifting my shirt off and over my head. Breaking the kiss only slightly for him to remove my shirt, his lips were back on mine, hands running across the naked flesh of my back.

I gasped into his mouth and his hands were at my bra, unclasping it and pulling it off of me. Excitement swept through my body and I found myself quivering with need.. My breasts pressed up against his chest, my hard pebbles, brushing down his torso giving me pleasure.

Lips kissed mine one last time before trailing down my jaw lightly and down my neck. I wanted to stop but my wolf wouldn't let me. Neither would my body.

"Zaryn.." I panted, out of breath, into the night air. He replied with gentle kisses to my neck, licking and sucking the skin into his mouth before his large calloused hands cupped my flesh, making me gasp in surprise. He kissed down my collar bone before bending down to take me into his mouth, sucking and massaging with his tongue.

The lust in my body pulsated, throbbing my insides as liquid desire pooled in my lower belly, my panties ruined.
