We fell to the bed still joined and panting. The fur at my back was slowly turning back to skin. Joel’s human hand came up to stroke my arm gently as we rested. His heavy breathing filled my ears and I luxuriated in the post orgasmic bliss.
A slight noise toward the door caught my attention and Nate appeared at the door way raising his nose and scenting the air. I shrieked and tried to cover up but Joel just laughed.
“Pardon the interruption my Alpha. I heard the howl and figured it was a good thing. Can’t be too careful anymore, though,” Nate said.
Joel reached around me and pulled me close kissing my head. “Very good thing, old friend, we’re going to need a key for these cuffs, though.”
“Right boss, be back in a minute,” said Nate closing the door and walking out.
“I have to get dressed,” I said as I tried to pull away and found I couldn’t.
“We’ll be tied like this for about an hour, love, nobody’s leaving until then. As far as your modesty, I’ll try to respect your human up bringing, but things are different here. Sex is often public and there is nothing wrong in the showing of affection between adults. It is encouraged and often ceremonial.”
“Tied, what’s tied?” I asked trying to catch all he was saying. I moved my hand to feel our joined bodies. Joel’s cock was thick and buried deeply, thicker than I had felt before.
“It’s called a knot; it holds my semen in place to help ensure when you are ovulating you will get pregnant,” said Joel matter of factly.
“I’m going to get pregnant?” I shouted.
I preach safe sex all day long and I forgot to use protection. My hands were shaking I was so scared.
“Do you have HIV?” I asked looking over my shoulder. “Can werewolves get sexually transmitted diseases? Are there werewolf diseases I can get?” I felt like crying.
“You aren’t ovulating now, I can smell that much, so no you won’t get pregnant. No, I don’t have any sexually transmitted diseases and to my knowledge the werewolf immune system can fight off the human diseases quite effectively,” soothed Joel.
Nate reappeared in the doorway knocking softly as he entered. He sniffed deeply and smiled knowingly at us. My cheeks were burning as he approached the bed bowing low. “My Alpha, congratulations on taking your mate, may the moon bless you with many pups.”
I looked around as he spoke looking for a blanket to pull over myself. Joel chuckled and laid one across us.
“Hiding really doesn’t change anything love,” Joel informed me.
“I understand your discomfort with this, Madam. Modesty is not a custom here. Others that haven’t been around humans much may find your reactions odd,” Nate said as he handed a small silver key over to Joel
I tried to relax as Joel deftly worked the locks on my wrists. The metal bracelets dropped to the bed and I felt like cheering I was so glad to be rid of them. Joel gestured to my feet and Nate took the small key and removed the cuffs.
I was blushing crimson and wished he would just leave. Nate continued to stand watching us respectfully once he was done. I wondered angrily why he wasn’t leaving.
“Because it would be rude to leave without being asked to do so,” Joel answered my unspoken question first and then said to Nate, “Have them here in about two hours, I’ll let you know if we need more time. You are excused.”
“How did you know what I was thinking just then? Are you psychic?” I asked turning to look at Joel quizzically.
“Mates can sense things from one another, usually it’s like having a conversation and you have to want to tell me something to communicate it. It works a little different for us, because you’re human. I’ve read a little on the subject, I’ll probably catch bits from you, more so if you are concentrating or upset. Being fully human you may not begin to sense me until I change you.”
“Change me how?” I asked suspiciously.
“I want to make you like me, a werewolf,” said Joel looking over my shoulder and directly into my eyes.
“Could I think about it?” I asked hesitantly. Outside the lust filled haze that idea seemed scary.
“Of course, love, no rush, just rest now,” he answered snuggling into my back.
