more. Strong emotionally and physically? This was his dream girl!
They stood there in the bowels of the alley, just holding each other. He thought maybe she just needed reassurance, and he was more than happy to comply, as long as it meant he could have her in his arms. Stroking her hair to soothe her, he shushed her anxiety, or at least tried to. But eventually she pulled back and peeked over his shoulder to the alley’s entrance.
“I’m sorry, Jess,” she started.
Cold pierced his heart. “No, don’t say it Veronica, please.”
Keeping half her attention on the alley’s entrance, she gave him a small smile and stroked his cheek, her face relaxing just a bit. Then, almost as fast as she’d gone cold and stiff in his arms, her mouth was on his again. Jess was as bewildered as he’d ever been but her lips were blowing the cobwebs of confusion from his addled brain.
With a deep sigh, Veronica pulled back, her tongue flicking his upper lip along the way. His head was spinning and his need for her stronger than ever, which was evident by the panting he couldn’t control, not to mention the bulge pressing into her.
“Ronnie…” he whispered.
She put a finger to his lips to shush him. “We need to get out of here. Fast. I’ll meet you at your place in an hour, okay?”
Jess could only nod as Veronica disentangled herself from him and hurried down the alley. His heart simultaneously ached at their separation and swelled with emotion at the thought of finally becoming one with the love of his life.

“Tell me everything!” Bethany was giddy, practically jumping up and down in the passenger seat when Veronica climbed in the 4Runner.
All Veronica could manage was a tight smile while her eyes darted around, every muscle in her body tense with worry and lust. “I scented a were . I don’t think we were spotted but if I could smell him — and it was definitely a him — he could smell me.”
“Oh…oh my,” breathed Bethany.
“Yeah. That would have been…bad. I looked around on my way to the truck but didn’t see anyone, and the scent had faded so I think we got very, very lucky.”
“So…what now?”
Veronica’s thoughts turned to her make-out session in the alley and her heart started beating fast again. She hadn’t expected to make out with him, but truth be told, she’d been ready to go so much further when she’d caught the scent. If they’d been caught by a member of her clan, there’s no telling how their little rendezvous would have turned out.
She glanced down the alley as she started the engine and roared out of her parking space. She could see Jess’ silhouette in the shadows leaning against the wall, and couldn’t wait to get to his cabin.
Bethany started giggling. “You’re blushing, girl. Spill!”
Veronica threw her a sideways smirk and winked. “Mind if I drop you off a bit early?”
Bethany hooted and clapped in response.
The rusty gray Bronco that was following them went unnoticed.
J ess raced home to make sure he hadn’t thrown any dirty underwear on the floor, which of course he hadn’t. He uncorked a bottle of Napa Valley merlot, worried that maybe she preferred pinot grigio and quickly cut up some fancy cheeses he’d bought for the occasion. He plopped a piece of smoked salmon on the plate as a final touch. Fred could sense his excitement and ran around the cottage like a maniac.
“Down, boy,” he laughed at the dog’s antics. “Now be good when she gets here. I want to make a good impression.”
He was just setting a plate of crackers on the table when he heard her rig pull up. Fred started barking like crazy. He wasn’t used to visitors.
Wiping his damp hands down his khakis, Jess took a deep breath and opened the cabin’s door. Veronica was a vision climbing down from her 4Runner. She looked exactly the same as when she’d left him in the alley but he lost his breath just the same.
