“Why?” she asked trying to get her brain online.
“Cause you’re sitting in a puddle. Then again, you came so hard, maybe it isn’t all me,” he said.
Meg nodded. Feeling around for one of the bath towels, she tried to mop up. It wasn’t working. She was soaked in cum. Finally, she just stuffed the towel under her ass and grabbed the covers. “Shower later,” she said.
Luc nodded. He fell asleep with Meg wrapped in his arms.

The wolf licked the back of Meg’s neck. He’d wrapped himself around her and was keeping her warm. He nuzzled her neck again and inhaled her scent. “Soft One, good scent,” he thought and went back to sleep.
Meg woke up. She’d been dreaming… an X-rated version of Little Red Riding Hood that was very explicit. She stretched and tried to clear the fog of the dream from her head. Luc was still in wolf form, which was probably why she’d had the dream. Sex had been oh so good last night. Meg smiled and hoped that he’d feel good enough for a repeat of that tonight.
She stretched again and the wolf began to wake up. Rather than staying in that shape, he shimmered and soon a naked Luc was next to her in bed. She pulled the covers up over the two of them.
“Good morning,” she said.
“Oh yeah,” he yawned. “Last night was great, and I slept well. You?” he asked.
“Last thing I remember is grabbing a towel and pulling up the covers,” said Meg.
“Uhuh,” Luc agreed. He had started to shift right about then and didn’t remember much at all. There were days he wished there was a better connection between his two halves.
“So, what’s on the agenda today? It’s 8 am,” said Meg.
“I don’t know about you, but I think I want to go to work,” said Luc.
“Now that’s a novel idea,” said Meg. “That should cause Ginny all kinds of tizzies and hiccups in her little universe.” Meg smiled. She knew that Luc was anxious to get back to work. The big thing was whether or not he had healed enough.
“Well, I really don’t care. If she wanted the shop, she should have taken it first time round. Let’s shower and get going. I’ve had enough of staying home,” said Luc. He got up out of bed and headed for the shower.
“I know, but then again, she didn’t expect you to get chewed by a bear,” Meg reminded him.
“I know, I’m only grousing because I have been home for so long. Let’s go to the office, and see how things go,” he said as he started the shower.
“Okay,” said Meg as she climbed in beside him and started to clean the remnants of last night off her skin.

An hour later, Luc and Meg walked into the offices of Alpha Wolf Tech. The phone was ringing and Ginny had a look on her face that would have sent clients running for the nearest storm shelter. Luc grabbed the phone and answered it.
Ginny gave Meg a look of sheer joy. She motioned Meg off towards her office. When the two women reached the office, Ginny shut the door behind them and leaned against it.
“Thank god you got here when you did. That phone has been ringing off the wall, and I needed three hands today just to keep up,” Ginny said.
“Has it been this bad the entire time Luc was down?” asked Meg. Thinking back, she didn’t remember it being that busy last week when she was in.
“No, it is like the customers knew Luc was planning on being here today. Oh, and we have three contracts waiting for outside work,” said Ginny.
“Outside work?” asked Meg.
“Trenching,” said Ginny. “All the stuff that Duke use to do and now can’t.”
“Oh shit. Who else can do the work?” asked Meg.
“Sandy, Luc and maybe a few others, but the first two are not available,” said Ginny.
Meg understood why Luc wasn’t available, but not Sandy. “Why not Sandy? Or George for that matter?” Meg asked.
“George doesn’t fit in the cab. Sandy on the other hand has work. He’s helping me with the kids and running that grocery at night,” said Ginny.
“Oh, I had completely forgotten about the kids. Are they coping okay?” asked Meg.
“Yeah, Joe and Sara asked for their dad, but he’s been gone so much of their life, that him being gone now isn’t anything new. The big issue though is that Bitty has a new boyfriend, and I don’t trust them as far as I can spit,” said Ginny.
“Oh?” asked Meg.
“Most shifters are a horny lot. Teens are worse. Two sets of biology both striving for the same thing,” said Ginny. The frustration was bleeding through.
“I never thought of that. Is she on the pill?” asked Meg.
“Like those things work! She’s had the shot and carries condoms, but still…” Ginny trailed off.
“Have you talked to her about it?” Meg asked.
“Oh yeah. Gave the lot of them the talk. Enough so that the pre-school teacher called me and asked why Sara was trying to show her classmates about ‘comdumbs’,” said Ginny.
Meg started giggling. Ginny joined in and the two of them were still laughing when Luc walked in the room after bumping Ginny off the door.
“What’s so funny?” he asked.
“Sara talking to her friends at school about ‘comdumbs’ during recess,” gasped Ginny.
Luc blinked, thought and then he started to giggle as well. After a moment, they all caught their breath. Luc sat down on the edge of Meg’s desk and just shook his head.
“Condoms eh, who’s gone into heat?” he asked at last.
“Bitty, and ‘Solda isn’t far behind,” said Ginny.
“Oh, and with Duke gone,…” Luc trailed off thinking of the various ramifications. “Who’s watching the kids?”
“Sandy. He works nights and has the time to do it,” said Ginny.
