“My house. I figured it was closer and I know I have a shower that will handle all the fur,” he said with a grin.
“You… you have ulterior motives!” she said. Standing up out of the car, she realized just how stiff and sore she was from her tumble in the river. “Ow. God I hurt!”
“Yeah, well you bounced around in the water and then after a short nap hauled ass down a mountain. Let’s get inside and get warm. Oh, and wet,” he said as he grabbed their packs and headed for the door.
“Funny Luc, real funny,” she said as they headed for the house.
Luc dropped the packs on the back porch and then grabbed Meg’s hand and headed to the shower. His bathroom wasn’t small, and the shower stall took up at least half of it. They dropped their clothes to the floor and Luc turned on the shower. He had it adjusted in a second and they stepped into the warm water. The water felt so good.
Luc looked at Meg, and saw that her shoulder and arm were bruising where he’d grabbed her after she’d fallen into the river. He grabbed the shower gel and started to soap her up.
“You have all day to stop that,” Meg said. His hands felt good as they ran over her body. He was soaping all the places that hurt. He rubbed more soap into her hair and then stuck her under the water to rinse.
“My turn,” she said from under the stream of water. He handed her the soap and then stood there as she lathered him up. As her hands ran over his stomach, his cock sprang to life. Meg smiled and made sure his cock and balls were very well soaped.
“Oh Meg, that feels so good,” he said softly. He hugged her to him and ran his hands down her back. They moved under the water and let the soap run off. When they were rinsed off, Luc turned off the water and stepped out to grab towels. Meg and Luc wrapped up in towels and Luc lead them to his bedroom.
“Don’t know how long I’ll last,” Luc said as he flopped on the bed.
“Me either. I’m still sore from last night,” said Meg. She smiled as she remembered how he’d tongued her until she’d shivered and then passed out.
Luc started by running his hand over her shoulders. Meg snuggled next to his chest and reached around his ribs to stroke his back and ass. Luc’s hand moved slowly as it trailed down her back. Meg slowed her touch to match. Neither one was aware of when the other fell asleep. The both snored.

It had been a week since Meg had left early in the morning with a note left on the fridge. She’d had to get to work and he’d been in wolf form when she woke up. She no sooner got in the door of her apartment than the phone started ringing. She grabbed the phone. “Hello, Meg speaking,” she said. “Oh, Sorry, I’ve been out of town this weekend. Out of cell phone range too,” she added quickly. “Yes, I’ll be in as soon as I can,” she said and rang off. Meg looked at the clock, and realized it was barely 7am. She wasn’t due into work until 9am, but that had been her supervisor and from the sounds of it, all hell had broken loose over the weekend.
Meg dived through the shower and dressed as fast as she could. Out the door thirty minutes later had her at work by 8am. Walking through the door she realized that a water main must have burst over the weekend. Crews were mopping water and everything was either up on furniture or being carted outside.
“What the hell happened?” she asked a guy she knew from one of the offices.
“Pipe burst. Flooded everything,” he said as he passed her with an armload of stuff.
Meg headed for her office. The carpet squished under her feet, and there was a tide mark about a foot up the wall. Right in line with all the electrical plugs. “Shit,” she said to no one in particular, and started trying to figure out what to clean up first.
Luc had woken up to an empty house. The note in the kitchen explained that Meg had needed to get to work and that she would call him during the week. That was fine with Luc. He certainly didn’t want to rush this relationship. The camping trip had been rather intense, and both of them needed to have time to think about things. Luc cleaned up his camping gear and got everything packed away. Then he headed into work.
It was like every computer or server in the county died and needed his help. Luc and his staff of five were swamped. Alpha Wolf Tech had more work than they could cope with and for once Luc was afraid that he’d have to turn customers away. Out the door at 6am and if he was lucky, in by 10pm. He ate, and either shifted for a run or went straight to bed. Most nights, bed won. He had no time for personal computer use, much to his frustration.
Thursday morning, he actually had time to catch up on office paperwork. Three of his techs were out in the field and one tech was in the work room dealing with the backlog in there. His office manager just kept piling the paper work in the baskets and filing what he got done with. “She deserves a medal after this week. Didn’t snarl or bite a single one of us.” he thought. What most people didn’t know was that the entire staff of Alpha Wolf Tech LLC were shifters. It made life much easier if you worked with someone who understood it when you suddenly grew a foot in height and got furry when you were pissed off or upset. Ginny, his office manager, was one of those understanding people that kept a large bowl of peanut butter flavored dog biscuits on her desk. Most people thought they were for customers dogs. In reality, they were the treats she handed out to staff and some of their customers. Ginny knew how to keep the office on an even keel.
“Hey boss,” said Ginny as she strode into his office.
“Hi Ginny, what do you need?” he asked.
