Thread: Big Bad, Little Red, and the Hunters. (Fates.Gamble and Gunner)

Catty reveled in the feel of Aeric even as he rolled back over. Her arms draped around his body, halfheartedly clinging to him. She was exhausted and satiated. His final sweet kiss made her grin happily as she snuggled down into his warmth. She couldn't even say it had been ages since curling up with such a raw, prime male specimen. Her type, pretty much forever, had been the spindly bookish type. Carl was even minus the bookish. Just spindly. It was...wonderful. The way he could engulf her body, radiating warmth and security. Catty could get used to such a feeling. Too bad it was just a dream. Her final thoughts before drifting off back to sleep. Slowly her breathing evened out. Even in sleep she was tangled up to him, nestled in as close as could be. A little squirrel in winter. It wasn't long before another dream penetrated her thoughts. Warmth and light. Dozing on a beach in summer. Hot sand, the gentle whisper of waves. Someone was near but not too near. Tan lines of course. Can't cuddle on the beach. Peaceful. Serene. She hadn't had such a simple, joyful dream in a long time. Catt smiled in her sleep, huffing happily. Morning came and light spilled into her room. The soothing warmth was fleeing. Catty lay abed a little long than Aeric, now a canine once more and her utterly unaware. She gave a muffled little groan of protest as the warmth left, turning and burying her face into her pillow. Slowly she came awake with a mild headache and a weakness in her limbs. She danced too hard in the night. With a groan she shifted her legs feeling the wet, slickness of them. Catty sat up suddenly in surprise, her head giving a painful throb. It wasn't the second week! It always came on the second week. She looked down to find...nothing. Well not nothing but not the nothing she didn't expect. Catty blinked a moment, staring at her naked self with a puzzled frown. Her dream came crashing down and her puzzled stare turn to crimson shock. Seriously? A wet dream? Was she a teenager? Oh she remembered the dream vividly. Vividly enough her core gave an aching throb. She shivered at the fleeting memory of the dream. It had seemed so real. For a moment she sat and reveled in it, trying to imagine the feel of that hard body between her legs. Another long groan and she scrubbed her face with her palms. Stop being stupid... she grumbled to herself and slow got up. Her legs wobbled and she nearly collapsed at the attempt. If she was utterly insane she'd say the dream was real. Of course she was quite sane and knew Aeric didn't swoop in from the night like some...crazy vampire guy and absolutely fuck her silly. Get a grip Catty.... she groaned again and staggered to the bathroom. There she cleaned up with a short shower, brushed her teeth and staggered into the living room. She smiled at the massive dog in her dwelling as she wandered to make coffee. Anubis...you wouldn't believe....well you're a dog so maybe you wouldn't believe anything since you have no idea what I'm saying. Her expression was wistful as everything poured back. She shivered again at the memories as he coffee brewed. The morning went by simply enough. Catty made them both some breakfast before settling down on the couch for some Saturday morning cartoons. Her headache was receding somewhat. Close to noon her phone rang. Hey Jess, she answered. The women launched into several hours of chatter. Plenty of which was about the previous night. They combed every possible detail, recalling everything they could. So do you think he'll call? Jess finally asked. Catty heaved a sigh, absently stroking Anubis. A name she finally settled on for him. Doubtful...it was fun while it lasted though...I've still got a handsome date to the fair, she said with a laugh as she ruffled the dog's coat. You're talking about the dog again... Jess said with a heavy sigh. Well I can rely on him being around can't I? The whole thing about his phone was probably some...excuse to be able to get out of going... Catty somehow sounded deflated and blas about it at the same time. The girl hung up after a while and Catty hefted another sigh. Yeah...just an excuse. Ah well...it was still fun...and that dream... She sighed wistfully again, her eyes going dewy. Suddenly her stomach gave a grumbling squeal. She laughed quietly and patted her stomach. Well if I'm hungry I am sure you are too, she said as she got up and stretched. Her back popped as her shirt lifted just to the underside of her breasts before she dropped down and headed to the kitchen to whip them something up. It was certainly a lazy Saturday. After their dinner was cooked and eaten Catty made sure to fill up the water bowl for Anubis before heading to bed, leaving her door open if he wanted to sleep on her bed again. Honestly she didn't mind. A whole day and she hadn't heard anything from Aeric. No surprise. She'd had a small hope he might call but didn't entirely believe he would. No reason to be upset. Just let it go. Catty curled up into bed once more, swearing she could smell the spicy, masculine scent of Aeric there. She was losing her fucking mind. Sunday morning she was up early to shower and get ready for the fair. Nothing extreme. She parted her curls neatly, pinning some back with her leather barrette to keep it out of her eyes but still flowing down her back in wavy fire. Still she did her makeup, not nearly as much as the club, a far softer look. She chose a strapless, summer dress of pale purple that complimented her bright blue eyes. Once ready and with comfy sandals on, a little ugly perhaps but hidden by the dress, she grabbed Anubis' collar and leash to bring him with her. We'll have fun today. First trip out side. Hopefully you are on your best behavior today, alright Anubis?
