26 Chapter 26: No place for being shy

The forest was not a place for everyone. One wrong turn, and you'd end up lost deep inside it, never to come out again. As she jumped over a fallen tree, she felt the wolves close behind her. Elize struggled to keep running. She was already exhausted to her bones, but she had to keep running. She didn't want to die. Not now.

'Zack! Help me!' She reached out through her mind link, ducking a tree branch.

There was no reply. As she jumped a puddle, she saw a clearing ahead with a huge mansion slowly appearing in the middle of it. It vaguely looked like the pack house. But why was the pack house in the middle of the jungle? And why did it look so different? Elize thought as she lunged forward. She could feel the wolves close in on her.

In her desperation, she jumped over another fallen tree. But this time she wasn't so lucky. Her feet caught on a vine and she tripped, falling face down in a puddle. Suddenly it started raining in torrents. What was happening? Elize was confused. Just a moment ago, the sun was shining bright through the the gaps in the trees.

Just as she was about to get up, she sensed it- a dark shadow loomed over her being. She looked up to see a pair of fiery red eyes staring down at her from a giant body which looked as if it was a cross between a wolf and a man. Unlike any other wolf she'd seen, this one had no fur on it. Grey pallid skin stretched on its muscular body which was grotesquely distorted.

Elize felt sick looking at it.

Suddenly it opened its mouth, only to reveal huge canines smeared with what looked like blood. Elize shivered at the sight.

"Hear my plea oh spirits of the forest, take this evil and engulf it in fire." She whispered frantically.

Nothing. It didn't work! Elize panicked.

The creature made a sound that almost sounded like a chuckle. It's expression suddenly changed as it narrowed its eyes at her and barked ferociously.

"Zack!" Elize called out.

There was no reply.

"Zack help!" She screamed as the creature's teeth were about to sink into her shoulders.

Suddenly somebody was shaking her. The scene was getting distorted. She was suddenly being dragged into darkness.

"Elize! Wake up!" Zack's concerned voice echoed in the bathroom.

Elize slowly opened her eyes, her breath coming out heavy. Her chest raised up and down as she struggled to calm down. Blue eyes stared at her, a concerned look marring his beautiful face, calming her down a bit. His brows were creased in tension and the bags under his eyes added to it, making him look like a mad man. A very hot madman.

Elize shook her head. Why was she thinking about how hot Zack was when she still was not able to get a grip on herself? Elize scolded herself in her mind.

"You okay baby?" Zack asked, his grip loosening on her shoulders.

Elilze nodded, suddenly becoming very aware of her nakedness. There were no more soap bubbles in the water, and her body was very much visible underneath it. Not taking her eyes off of him, she nervously bit on her lower lip. She watched as his gaze traveled down to her lips and darkened. Quickly realizing the effect on him, she licked her lips, hoping to dispel his intense gaze.

"Elize." He called her name in a husky voice. His hands slid down from her shoulders to gently hold her upper arm. As he did, his thumb grazed the sides of her breasts, sending chills down her body. She shivered, as a sense of pleasure took hold of her being. She kept her eyes down, not wanting him to notice the effect of his touch on her. As her eyes traveled down, she noticed it. Something hard was straining against his shorts. She blushed, seeing his aroused state.

Zack's breath was coming out heavy now. It fanned against her neck as he leaned closer. Desire burned inside her as he placed a light kiss just beside her earlobe. Elize moaned, unable to control herself. Zack chuckled against her skin, his breath sending tingles through her veins. Embarrassed, she tried to move away. Zack was faster. He gently pulled her towards him, and licked the side of her ear. This time, her moan was louder.

His teeth suddenly bit down on her earlobe playfully, and started sucking on it. The feeling was more than she'd ever experienced in her eighteen years of life. Pure desire seeped out from between her legs, as she felt a slight pleasurable pain in there.

Zack's lips traveled down her neck, placing small kisses on her skin along the way. Her neck arched back in anticipation. As his mouth reached the hollow of her neck, he gently licked the area. Elize's hand reached out to his and guided it to her breasts unconsciously. Zack squeezed her right breast slightly, making her quiver in the pleasure that the slight action provided her. All of a sudden the feeling stopped.

Elize opened her eyes, ever so slightly irritated. Zack was standing a feet away from the tub, a slight smirk on his face.

"Quite eager, aren't we?" Zack asked with a wink.

Elize quickly looked down embarrassed. She didn't want to admit it to him. She turned away to face the wall and quickly folded her legs against her chest. Behind her, she heard the sound of clothes rustling. What was he doing? She thought.

"Elize." Zack called her in a low voice.

She took a sharp breath. Even his voice was getting to her now. The pain in between her legs were getting more intense that she wanted to touch herself to make it stop.

"Mmm?" She asked, not wanting to speak. She didn't trust her voice right then.

Fingers trailed down the back of her neck. She trembled at the touch. A soft kiss was placed on the side of her neck. Elize tilted her neck and closed her eyes, wanting more.

"Baby. Look at me." Zack whispered against her ears.

Elize reluctantly opened her eyes and twisted her torso towards him. He was kneeling down outside the tub, leaning against it. His clear blue eyes were darkened with desire. She knew that he yearned for her as much as she desired him. Her gaze traveled down to his wet lips, which he licked nervously. Her eyes went further down his strong neck and further down to his chest. He had no shirt on, and the view that it presented her quickened her heartbeat. His perfectly muscled chest was heaving up and down.

Elize was suddenly curious as she leaned out of the tub and looked further down. Her assumptions were right- he was butt naked! Seeing the hardness of his member project out of his nether region, she bit down on her lip. It looked huge and it made her nervous. Zack lifted her chin up gently, a worried look marring his face. He opened his mouth to say something but closed it immediately.

"Will you hold me?" Elize asked, her voice breaking. It took a lot of courage for her to say that.

Zack smiled, "Can I come in?" He asked, his brows raised ever so slightly in anticipation.

Elize nodded, blood rushing to her cheeks. She was suddenly lifted out of the tub into his hands. Elize yelped in surprise and held on to her mate's neck. Zack laughed, the motions vibrating against his chest. Elize hid her face in the crook of his neck and rubbed her forehead against his skin, embarrassed. Zack moaned. Elize chuckled, but quickly regretted it as Zack suddenly sat down in the tub with her on his lap.

His member was now poking against her thighs as his hands traced patterns underwater against her tummy. Her back was pressed against his chest, giving him every advantage of the position. Elize arched her chest above the water, leaning hear head against his shoulder.

"Touch me" She whispered, looking at him.

"Whatever you ask for baby." He whispered against her shoulder, leaning in to kiss her there.

Elize was nervous. It was the first time he was so close against her, his member throbbing against her in all its hardness. He licked the part of her shoulder once, and slowly started sucking on it. As his one hand traveled up her stomach to her underside of her breasts, Elize gasped. The fire that built inside her roared wherever he touched her.

Unable to keep her hands still, she stroked the outer side of his thigh with her left hand. His skin was so smooth to touch. Zack moaned against her neck and grabbed her breasts with both his bands, continuing to suck on a different spot of her neck. He now squeezed her breasts with much more urgency, making her writhe in pleasure.

"Oh Zack." She called out his name in a broken voice.

"Yes baby, do you like that?" He asked.

"Mmm." Elize moaned in agreement between writhing.

It was so hard not to move. She was feeling so much and with so much force that everything else that all her nervousness was blanketed by it. There was no room to feel shy. She wanted his touch on every inch of her skin. The pain between her legs was getting more intense that Elize couldn't help but slide her hand in between them. As soon as she did, her fingertips grazed against his member. Zack groaned against her neck and bit down on her ear lobe. In the sudden excitement she widened her legs and reached out to his hard penis and started stroking it.

"Aaaargh baby!" Zack moaned louder.

Elize smiled, reveling at the effect her touch had on him. His right hand trailed down the middle of her stomach as his left hand kept squeezing her breast with his huge palm. As his hand traveled further down, Elize arched her lower body against his hand, yearning for his touch.

"May I?" Zack asked, almost in a whisper. His voice never sounded more sexier, Elize thought.

"Yes please." She replied, smiling.

His hand landed on her inner thigh, slowly stroking it while traveling further up with each passing second. She kept her hand steady on his member. She didn't want to take her hand off of him. Suddenly his fingers were in between her thighs, stroking at her wetness. Elize gasped, and thrust her hips further into his hands. He caught on to her enthusiasm and started stroking her insides with his thumb.

"Faster." Elize moaned.

Zack chuckled and thrust his finger inside her. Elize cried out in pleasure.
