Ginny nodded and looked over at Bitty.
“Uncle Luc, I’m sorry I used the spare key and figured I could use your house as my own. If I wanted to have sex, I should have been honest with Aunt Ginny and talked with her about things instead of going off stupid,” Bitty said.
“That’s a good start,” said Luc. “Now what are you going to do to fix this?” he asked.
“I’m never going to use the spare key unless it’s an emergency, and probably won’t get to see Mark again,” said Bitty in a quiet voice.
“I’m gonna start thinkin’… um… gonna just shut up, because I really screwed up,” said Mark.
“You two are both eighteen, right?” asked David.
“Yes,” the two answered at the same time.
“Fine. Go get dressed and we adults will have a chat,” said David. “Don’t come back in until we call you,” he added as the two headed off to the guest bedroom.
As soon as the two had left the room, Luc and Ginny both covered their mouths to suppress the giggles. David was smiling too, and just shaking his head. Meg looked on in amazement. She had no idea of what to expect, and laughter wasn’t an option she’d thought about.
“Oh, the looks on their faces!” said Ginny quietly.
“Was it me, or was Mark about to say he was going to think with his head?” asked David.
Luc nodded. “It was almost telegraphed on his forehead that he wasn’t going to think with his dick ever again,” Luc said trying not to laugh. At that point, all the adults were laughing.
“So, as the only non-parent here, what are we going to do with them?” asked Meg.
“Well, what they haven’t figured out yet is that the real ‘crime’ was breaking and entering. Legally, they are both adults and can screw their brains out if they want,” said Ginny. The two men nodded.
“Okay, so what kind of punishment are we handing out to two very naive teens?” asked Meg.
“Well, first off, they can’t see each other for a… a week. That way they can cool off those hormones,” said David.
“And, if they want to date, they have to clear it thought us?” suggested Ginny.
“Yeah, and I think they should have to take care of Joe and Sara for the next few weekends,” suggested Luc. “Plus get the ‘lecture’ about birth control from each set of parents.”
“Sounds good to me,” said David. “How much longer should we make them sweat?”
“Oh, give um ten more minutes. Want another cup of coffee?” asked Luc.
David nodded and the two men walked out to the kitchen.
Meg just sat there stunned. “Ginny, were we that stupid as teens?” she asked.
“Oh probably. We were just smart enough not to get caught,” she said with a smile. “The big problem though is the one we will discuss once Mark and his Dad have left,” finished Ginny.
Meg thought about what Ginny had said and realized what she was talking about. Meg just nodded.

Twenty minutes later, Mark and David had left and Bitty was once again in the hot seat. Meg and Luc went out to the kitchen while Ginny read the riot act to Bitty about being irresponsible with human dates.
“Oh gods, I hope I’m never at the end of her displeasure,” said Meg as the sub-vocals rumbled through to the kitchen.
“Been there. Survived it. It wasn’t a pretty occasion,” said Luc. “However, I bet Bitty will never just go off on hormones again with a human boy. Too much of a risk.”
“How so?” asked Meg.
“Well, first thing is that she didn’t discuss things with Mark first. The boy hadn’t a clue as to what Bitty is. Next, she’s still really wobbly on shifting. Since they didn’t talk, what do you think would happen if they were mid-stroke and all of a sudden she shifted?”
“Um,… been there, scared the hell out of me,” Meg said.
“Exactly. Now think of you were the man…” Luc said. “We had a girl shift first time she had sex. Boyfriend beat her up. She was a mess, but so was he, because the wolf defended herself,” said Luc.
“Oh shit!” said Meg. “What happened?”
“Kid went to the hospital and it was a real good thing they’d both been smoking pot. Doctors figured he got some bad pot and had a hallucination. Luckily, the girl had shifted back, and she was pretty beat up too. Both sets of parents settled out of court and the girl and her parents moved two states over,” said Luc.
“Oh hell,” she said. Thinking about everything that could have happened hit her hard and fast. “You were damn lucky.”
“Thank god it wasn’t any of my immediate family. However, Bitty should have known about it,” said Luc.
“Maybe her mom didn’t tell her,” said Meg.
“Maybe,” said Luc. “Here comes Ginny.”
“We are going home now. Sorry about all of this,” Ginny said as she hugged Luc.
“Shit happens. Or should that be hormones happen?” said Luc.
Both women nodded. Ginny hugged Meg goodbye and then headed out the door. She collected Bitty on the way.
“Alone at last,” said Luc.
“Yes, and what do you have in mind?” asked Meg.
“Well, as much as my hormones would love to romp your body, I am exhausted. A rain check on the sex and a good night cuddle instead?” he asked.
“You’ve got a deal. While your sub-vocals do the whole turn on thing most times, Ginny’s do not. In fact, they do just the opposite,” said Meg.
“Not surprised. Its female to female. No hormones to pull it the other direction,” said Luc.
“Hm, hadn’t thought of it that way. Still, snuggles and cuddles sound just about perfect,” said Meg.
They turned out the lights and headed to bed.

Luc woke up to see Meg staring at him. “What’s the matter Meg?” he asked.
“Did you know you use sub-vocals when you snore?” she asked.
“Huh?” replied Luc.
“When you snore, about half the time there is a sub-vocal that goes along with the snore,” said Meg. “It woke me up and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t get back to sleep.”
“I’m sorry Meg,” he said and looked over at the clock. It was 3am. “Did the snores upset you?” he asked.
