But Clarina just smiled and came slowly toward us with outstretched hand.
"Hi Mathieu, I didn't know if you'd be here, but I was hoping you would."
She smiled. I lifted my head, she hoped I would be here? Does this mean that she wants to spend time with me? I stared into her eyes while I slowly got up, and actually had to look down at her. Clarina giggled.
"This is unbelievable, how can you be so huge, and yet be so sweet and tame? And why do I feel this connection to you?"
She asked, wondering, more directed at herself, than actually me. I straightened up even more, and felt the joy flow through me when I heard her say she felt a connection to me. This perhaps was the plan I had spent so long to figure out. Maybe I could spend time with her as wolf, and then slowly begin to talk to her in my human form. I could almost feel how Matthew in my head nodded, totally agree that it was worth a try. Then slowly I went to her and cuddled her face with my nose, and when she smiled I licked her across the nose, which made her laugh.
"Mathieu that tickles."
She giggled while she gently caressed me. I lay back down on my stomach, and Clarina sat down beside me Gently I crawled closer to her, so I was lying with my head in her lap and looked up at her. And she smiled down at me. Within the smile slowly disappeared, and she stared straight ahead without really seeing anything.
"I really messed up Mathieu."
She whisper, I kept looking up at her before I licked her hand to get her to continue.
"I have become like the girls I've always said I wouldn't be, those who let a guy touch them without being the girlfriend of the guy ... He must think I'm a whore, one of the girls who's with everyone...How can I ever face him again?"
Quickly I jumped into the water and splashed Clarina with water. But she just laughed and splashed back at me. After 15 minutes of playing, we get up, I shook myself and the water go in every directions, I could hear Clarina laugh. I looked at her and just stared, there before me stood a goddess, light flawless skin, only covered by a purple bra set of lace. I saw Clarina blush, and take herself to cover up before she grinned.
"It's unbelievable, your gaze seems so human, and it's almost looked like you checked me out."
Quickly I looked down at the ground and whimpered, sorry that I had made her uncomfortable. But once again Clarina surprised me by coming over to pet me between the ears.
"Come, lets lay in the sun for a little while, so I can dry of, I didn't mean to jump in the water today so I don't have any towel with me."
As Clarina was dry, and was dressed, I took her once again into the woods to take her home. But froze when I heard a growl, I stepped in front of Clarina, and saw a gray wolf staring at me, I lowered my head threatening and growled. I was here with my mate and I would not let anything or anyone hurt her. This wolf was not from my pack, it seemed a bit familiar, but I couldn't place it, and I wouldn't risk Clarina harmed. I pushed at Clarina, and made her understandable that I wanted her to sit down. She looked between me and the other wolf with fearful eyes before she did what I asked her. As soon as she sat down, I stepped over her, so she sat under my belly, and was as well protected as I could make it in this situation.
