didn’t scare you did I?” “No not at all.” “You know most of us are good guys and we never hurt humans, right?” Despite the fear and scare tactics people had used, shifter attacks had been far and few between even when they’d first rolled into town and not been that civilized. “I do.” “So what are you doing? I mean seeing how you can’t sleep.” “I was reading a book.” “I love reading too. Mysteries are my favorite.” “Mine too,” I said. “You know what helps me sleep?” “Hot milk with honey in it?” I asked him. “Shit, that sounds revolting. No, there’s nothing like a good old orgasm to make you sleepy.” “Well my fuck buddy’s out of town and we don’t have a permit so I guess that’s out of the question.” “I could talk dirty over the phone to you and you could pleasure yourself. Don’t think you need a permit for that. In fact, think of it as your warm milk and a bedtime story.” I glanced in the mirror opposite my bed and knew I was blushing. “You want to give it a try?” he asked. “Haven’t you got anything better to do?” I did want to try it, but I also wanted to see what it was like to tease a bear so I pretended I could take or leave his offer. “I was working on a client’s new logo but I wasn’t in a creative mood and the reason I shifted and went outside.” “Did it help?” I asked. I pulled at a loose thread on my quilt while suddenly feeling nervous, anticipating what we were about to do. My question had also been a way for me to stall the inevitable. “No just made me horny. Would you like to help me get into a creative mood? You’d be helping my client too.” “How can I refuse that request.” “You can’t. So let’s start with you telling me what you’re wearing?” I burst out laughing. “That’s a bit of a cliché.” He laughed too. “I’ve never done this sort of thing with a non-shifter.” “I’ll give you a free pass this time,” I told him. “That’s generous of you.” “I’m wearing a tatty t-shirt and panties.” I looked in the mirror. I was happy that he couldn’t see just how tatty. “The thought of that’s making me hard,” Andy said. I pulled on the loose thread in the quilt again. “If you saw the t-shirt you wouldn’t be that aroused.” “How about the panties? Are they tatty too?” “No, in fact, they’re pink lace.” They were actually my favorite and I had no idea why I’d worn them to bed. Maybe meeting Andy, being kissed by him, had put me in a sexy state of mind. “Fuck, I’m getting harder by the second. And how about your nipples? Are they hard and pushing against the tatty t-shirt? I noticed this afternoon that you have great tits. Well at least what I saw of them through the dirt crusted top you were wearing.” I glanced down. Sure enough they were. It must be Andy’s voice that made them react like that. “And your lips. I mean your pussy ones. Are they as pink and plumb as the ones on your face?” Shit, I almost climaxed just hearing him talking about my pussy. “They are even pinker,” I said. I grew more brazen by the second. “Oh boy, I can’t wait to see them and put my lips on them, and flick my tongue inside your channel.” I actually felt my juices running down my left thigh. “Does your fuck buddy talk as dirty as me?” I hated to admit that even when he did, it didn’t turn me on as much as Andy. “Sometimes,” I said. “Would you take your panties off for me?” I didn’t want to admit that I’d do anything for him. “Sure.” I set the phone down, stood, and then pulled my panties down my legs. “Maybe I’ll have to drill a hole in the wall so I can peek in on you,” Andy said. I heard two bangs against the wall. The mirror on it shook. Even our bedrooms were side by side. The thought of him being on the other side of what was probably a thin piece of mortar and sheetrock excited and scared me at the
