Amethyst Page 3

  "Could she stay here?" Feeling her heart drop she thought," more than likely not!" If her father's business partner Hartman had anything to say or do about it. The thought was so over whelming she cried out," I want to stay! Maybe she could come back once things were settled! What is the use he more then likely won't stay single forever, not with his good looks."

  After a shower and deciding a trip to the diner would be better than cooking for herself, off she went. Thinking," I am pretty useless in a kitchen at the best of times". Deciding that since the diner was only a little over a quarter a mile away she could walk, and then thought better of it, "I will drive just in case of a need to get out-of-town quick. Now is not the time to take chances."

  The diner was busy it was Friday afternoon and made a metal note not to come in on Friday afternoons ever again. Finding a spot at the end of the bar she took a menu and looked it over. Susan came up with a cup and some coffee and said she would be back to take her order. Five minutes later Susan walked up, "Sorry it took so long. Have you decided what you would like to eat for lunch?"

  With a smile she said, "how about the veal dinner for one? Susan do you have an internet hook up here in the diner or are there one in town some place? I need to hook up my laptop and read the Globe and Mail."

  "Goodness no internet in this town, we get the paper here! I'll just get it real quick so you can read it as your waiting for your lunch. The owner likes to read the Globe and Mail that is why we get it."

  "Yes, need to check out how the stock market is doing on a certain stock. Invested a few dollars on the suggestion of a friend, hoping it pays off."

  Susan walked away and set the order into the cook, Susan returned and said, "Sorry no veal left, but here's the paper."

  What is left Susan?"

  "You can have any sandwich you like, she said with a smile."

  "OK I'll take a hot chicken sandwich with fries. Can you take a break and sit with me and chat for a while?"

  "No break right now to busy, maybe when things slow down I can."

  Picking up a newspaper Amethyst worked her way towards the announcements. Read a short poem.

  Purple flowers in total are left to you in bloom; those in power have cleared the way. All that is yours access will be soon, I for see at this time absolutely no delay. (Putter)

  Smiles broke out all over Amethyst face. Her day just got brighter. "The lawyer was making progress; the will had been read everything was left to her. The investigator is working on the case. Now all she had to do was wait for the money. Every thing has to be placed in her name and some money transferred over to a bank that could be accessed by her. She had to wait for another poem to find out how things were progressing on the blackmail scheme that Hartman had devised. If she could just relax take a breath and hang on for a little while longer things just might work out for her. Or at least she was hoping.

  Susan smiled at her as she walked up to her and said, "What has made you so happy? You're smiling all over and your eyes are bright as a light. Did your stock go up?"

  "Oh just a silly poem is all! Stock went up a little so no big profit, yet!"

  Susan smiled as she set the hot chicken sandwich down on the table and said read it to me. So Amethyst read the poem and Susan said, "Well that is silly and does not make a lot of sense."

  Laughing she said, "Susan that is why it's so amusing. No sense at all to anyone." She thought, "no one would even think the poem was meant for her. Putter was a nick name her father had given to her best friend, no one knew about it but Putter, herself , and her father and now of course her lawyer. She had met Putter when she was twelve. There parents owned homes on the same lake. Each year they met and spent their summers together. Emily got the name Putter because she loved to get on the golf course and putt balls into the cups on the greens. Her eyes began to water slightly, she missed Putter. Right now she could not dare call her." Blinking quickly to get rid of the tears that were about to erupt she looked up at Susan she said, "Are you working tonight at Wylie's Bar?"

  "I'll be there it is Friday night and it's the best tip night of the entire week. Everyone gets paid on Friday; I only work Friday nights at the bar. Are you thinking of dropping in tonight?"

  Yes, will pop in, must check out those yummy guys you mentioned. So I'll come in for a little while! Finishing the last of her chicken sandwich, leaving the money on the counter she said, see you later Susan."

  Stepping out side she looked up and down the street she decided to pick up a couple of things at the local drug store and head back to the cabin and relax. The drug store had two customers. She moved around the isle picked up some aspirins, shampoo, and cream rinse. Went to the soap isle picked up some bubble bath, and a bar of soap.

  Driving up to the cabin she saw some one sitting on the porch a silver colored truck sat in front of the cabin. The smiles left her face and for a moment fear replaced her smile. She slowed her SUV down trying to get a better look at who was on the porch. Finally he turned and she saw it was Rain. Thinking, "oh great what the hell does he want? He probably wants to warn me to stay off his land or sue me for assault? The jack ass! Oh but, what a handsome jack ass he was, she purred to herself. Oh I have got to stop this!"

  Stopping her vehicle and getting out she grabbed the bag from the drug store and marched up the steps of the porch. "And what brings you to my door this day, she said in a huff?"

  Rain put his arms out and she handed him the bag and unlocked the door. Then taking the bag from him set it inside the door on the floor and stood there looking at him. "Damn he had no right to look so handsome, her inner voice said. Then stand there and say nothing. She decided to just stand there and say nothing herself. Let him be the first to speak after all he came to see me, I didn't go see him."

  Dismissing Amethyst irate voice at seeing him standing on the porch he smiled. He knew his smile could melt the heart of most women, would it melt Amethyst's heart, and it was a wait and see. "She was so different from the women he was used to, or ever met come to think about it. If her looks could kill there wouldn't be a male within a hundred feet of her." Rain put on his most charming smile and smoothly spoke. "I came to ask you if you would like to go out with me this evening. It's Friday and Wylie's bar is having fish, instead of his usual hamburgers and fries. We got off on the wrong foot and would like to make it up to you."

  Thinking fish dinner would be a nice change. She did not want to agree to easy or to quickly she stood staring at him. She watched the smile leave his face and a frown begin to appear. "Good she thought he thinks I am going to say no;" Then smiling and without thinking further "I will meet you at Wylie's Bar at 7 P.M." Leaning in towards her he kissed her quickly before she knew what he was going to do. Then moved off the porch and down to his truck hopped in and drove off.

  Thinking to her self "I feel like a run in the woods, a roll in some leaves and barking at some small animal."

  Running into the cabin she put the bag away then locked up and headed behind the cabin. Walking down the path a ways she shifted into a wolf and began to run she leaped over a log came to a small stream and jumped over it. Then stopped and smelled the ground then began to roll in some leaves and whimpered in delight. Catching a small squirrel on the ground she bounced towards it barking. Then laid down on the ground, placed her face between her paws, and enjoyed the different scents around her. After a few minutes she raised herself up stretched and headed back towards the cabin. Wagging her tail; happy as a bird in a field of grain."

  Rain had decided he would sneak back to the cabin via the woods to take a last look at Amethyst before heading home. Rain stood watching Amethyst as she ran through the woods, rolled, and barked at the squirrel and thought even in wolf form, "she was beautiful. Her fur was black and shinny it appeared marbled in places, he wondered about the unusual coloring for a wolf. She was remarkable female. He had to get to know her there was no such word as no in his vocabulary when it came to her."

  Rain headed home
showered, changed into a pair of jeans, shirt, and boots, and "told the pack he was heading into town." His beta Pend teased him about going in to see a certain lady. Rain laughed because "they thought it was some one else other than Amethyst. They did not know a new wolf female was in town; he wanted to keep it that way, just for a little while longer. "Not seeing Kathy any more! Told her yesterday it was over, she was getting far too serious for my liking. Don't want to settle down with a human. Not fair to her or to me to keep the relationship going."

  Turning, out the door he went hoped into his truck and pulled out and headed for town. Rain felt a challenge in Amethyst demeanor at times and could not help but quirk his top lip to one side. She would never be boring he thought. Maybe a relationship with her would not be such a bad idea. His inner wolf agreed and wanted to howl. Then thought he was just being foolish.

  Raw one of the men staying with Rain got up from the table, "I think I will head into town and check up on our alpha, he's up to something. I am thinking it is a new female and I should check her out. He might need some help" he laughed. Raw stood five-feet ten, black hair that was kept in a style that made him appear younger. Smile lines filled his face, his happy go lucky attitude showed as he left with a big grin on his face.

  Amethyst had gotten back to the cabin and took a long hot bubble bath, washed her hair. Her soap made her smell like flowers in a field. She was actually looking forward to her date with Rain. "He was exciting! There was this animalistic odor to him she couldn't seem to think when he was near her and he filled her senses putting them on over load." He had this body that was to die for. He looked like a body builder, but knew it was from working hard. She began to wonder, "Could he accept me the way I am or would he think of me as a freak of nature and would he be angry. He would more than likely shun me once he knew what I am. It does not matter tonight I am going to just have fun and see where it would take me. After all I am wealthy, carefree, and; still in danger."

  "Need to set up a will just in case something happens to me. I will do that tomorrow, making a mental note." Slipping on a denim wrap around skirt that was knee length, high healed black boots, and a light loose top that showed a little cleavage and high in the back, the color of purple to match her eyes she smiled. "I look pretty darn good." Brushed out her hair took two leather laces tied them together into a knot then a bow she centered it at the back of her neck and then crossed over and under her hair to hold her hair in place working to the bottom of her hair. She was ready and it was fifteen minutes to seven she grabbed her purse locked the door and headed to the bar.

  Walking into the bar letting her eyes adjust to the dim lights, she looked around and then felt someone right behind her turning around a man of about six feet was standing there smiling at her. "Want to dance sweetie?" He said with a purr.

  "No thanks I have a date! I expect him any minute now! That is if he is not already here"

  "If he does not show I'll be at the bar; Am, ah lady!" He purred as he walked away.

  Then she saw Rain at the bar talking to the bartender, he had not noticed her at first and she stood there watching him. Then she slowly moved across the room between the tables just about five feet from Rain he turned and smiled. Looked her up and down and his smile widen and she could see a beautiful set of straight white teeth. Smiling back at him he rose from his seat and walked to her. Placed his arm around her, lead her to a table in a corner. Pulled out a chair for her, and then took a seat across from her.

  Still smiling, "your beautiful Amethyst, and you know it; you're so secure in yourself it makes you even more beautiful. You walk with such grace it is like you float across the floor. Every man in this place saw you when you came in; including me. I am surprised I have not had to fight them off one by one."

  "You may still have too before this night is over! Rains laughter made her laugh. Tell me about your self Rain who are you really? I know you live close to the cabin I am staying at, but where is your home?"

  "My home is five miles to the north of the cabin you're staying in. My land borders on Paula's and Ned's land. I actually own the lake behind the cabins. I live in a large house with eight bedrooms. I have some friends that live close by and a couple who live with me. Pend and his mate Kelly married not long ago and she moved in. Markus also stays in the house; he is getting married next week. A house is in the process of being built for them. I have a house keeper her name is Willow she stays in her own house on the property. A couple more friends live in the house. There are a couple of small families that live in their own homes very close by. I own ten sections of land in total and it borders on Government land, to the north and west. Now tell me about your self?"

  "She wondered about the use of the word mate instead of wife. “More than likely just a Canadian way of speaking," she thought. Nothing to tell I am here visiting; I am from the State of Wyoming. I love taking pictures had some published. Worked for my father he had a company in Casper, Wyoming. Keep pretty much to myself. I have never been married, no boy friends to speak of. Have dated in the past, had one serious bow once. With those words Rains eye brows came up and he smiled. And I have never really got close to anyone since. That is the full story!"

  "I think there is more to you then what you said Amethyst, but I will respect your privacy. For now; that is!" Rains mind could not accept the fact that a woman with her beauty and grace had no boy friend and never got close to any one but one man. And he wondered why that was. "Could be because she is a werewolf or was it something else. Females are very picky when it comes to a life long commitment. So not being mated did not surprise him. And he wondered why she was not part of a pack some place, than maybe she was and was not saying for some reason. If she was part of a pack then she would be protected. Females were prized possessions and were not permitted to sleep around. Fathers made sure their daughters remained virgins. No male wolf would mate a female who was of loose morals. So she can't be apart of a pack. Well if she had one serious relationship then she would not be a virgin. That won't stand in my way.

  "Susan walked up to the table and smiled what would you like to order?"

  "I will have a Cosmo and a fish dinner, smiling at Susan warmly.

  "Make that fish for two Susan and bring me a beer," Rain said.

  Susan smiled, and leaned in and whispered to Amethyst. "He's a looker, is he not? And if you haven't noticed he's got a great butt." Susan laughed when Amethyst turned to her and said, "I've noticed!

  Rain rolled his eyes, and then looked at the two women. "They think I didn't hear," he thought. "Well it is nice to be appreciated by the fairer sex even if it was for my looks and my ass. Wait until Amethyst finds out there is more to me then good looks, and charm!"

  Dinner was delicious the fish was not over done. The fries were hot and she had to admit so was her date. Dancing turned out to be a couple slow songs played on a juke box. Rain surprisingly was a great dancer. Rain sang along with a song on the juke box. And she found him extremely good. He has a wonderful voice. A few drinks later and some small talk they left the bar.

  Rain found her to be a challenge at times; she was quick-witted, and intelligent. Some of her smart remarks left him either laughing, or confused. Not one moment of boredom in her company. He really enjoyed his time with her. He didn't want the night to end. Even his inner wolf was delighted, lusty as hell, but still content with her company.

  Rain was walking her to her SUV. "I had a wonderful time Rain!

  Rain moved forward took her in his arms and kissed her and she melted against his chest. Opening her mouth she placed her tongue against his lower lip and rubbed it gently. His tongue slipped into her mouth rubbing against her tongue then the roof of her mouth. He broke the kiss and began kissing her neck, then over to the order side then up to her ear back to her lips. Heat began to form inside of her consuming her body entirely. She could barely stand, he held her up against the vehicle so she could not fall or escape.

  As he grew harder and harder,
he began to move it against her core until she was whimpering in need. "Rains mind told him take her back to the cabins. Here on the street anyone could walk by and see them, plus he wanted time with her. She was well worth more than a quickly, and see you later beside a vehicle."

  He pulled her away from the SUV and over to his truck parked two vehicles down. Slipped her inside on the driver's side all the while he kissed her. Sliding her over to the passenger side he turned, started up the truck said, "I'll drive you to the cabins."

  When they arrived at the cabin he shut the truck off. Jumping out of the truck he moved around to her side of the truck and opened the door lifting her out then carried her to her cabin. The key in her hand unlocked the door.

  The cabin was dark except for the moon light. Rain could see without any trouble, he moved her towards the bedroom. He laid her down on the bed and then lay next to her. He began kissing her lips and slowly moved down her neck which she made available to him. He ran his tongue into her ear and she whimpered with delight. His hand roamed her body. Rains hand moved to one breast to the next down her rib cage and back up again; just to repeat the moves over again. He slowly removed her top and then her skirt leaving her bra and panties on. His kisses took on a whole new meaning for her as he moved down her body. First the top of one breast and the other he pulled her up slightly ran his hand behind her removing her bra. His mouth took one nipple that was already pebbled and waiting for him. She growled with delight, and then she whimpered when he moved away from her breast but quickly growled again when his mouth took her other nipple in his mouth and he sucked slowly. Rains tongue ran over her breast and down her stomach to her belly button. There he made little circles with his tongue all the while his hand were moving all over her body. He began nipping her gently at first one side then the other. His tongue moved down to the black curls at the apex of her legs. She spread her legs to him like a flower opens to the sun. He took in a deep breath of air through his nose and scented her arousal. The scent drove his need for her beyond his limits.
