I Hope You're Ready (Asa//Anyone/Open)

[Asariel Wolff]

The shove was a line that once tripped surprised him that he held his calm as well as he did. His beast was on him enough to habe his eyes gone amber. As she lowered her shields he was in her.

One blink and he was loosed. The switch was thrown. Inside her gaurd he pinned her to the door jam kissing her fiercely.

[Jezebel Kendrick]

She saw him coming but there hadn't been much time to react. Her hands came up as if to stop him but then he'd pushed her against the frame of the door his mouth on hers and she no longer thought about much of anything.

Several minutes later he finally pulled back and both of them were breathing hard. She needed him and she needed him now.

Jez pushed him away almost as if she were rejecting him. When he'd backed off some she slammed the door shut and locked it. Asa seemed to be standing almost perfectly still in the middle of the room except for his wolf eyes as he tracked her progress across the room to him. She was playing the perfect part of the she wolf in heat.

[Asariel Wolff]

He paused as she again pushed him in way. Slinking before him her bestial grace apparent in every step. It seemed on the surface he was stopped by her actions and while true was as equally untrue. She might not have noticed but he did. As they kissed a heat had built that was nearly scalding. At the corner of his vision danced light and even as she smiled deviously as she closed them in he noticed a less than subtle change in her. He wasn’t sure what it was but it made her even more attractive to him.

Enough thought he all but pounced upon her scooping her into his arms he cut off her escape bodily. He gave himself over to the potential she meant what she presented herself as. He was all unmet need and expression of want. Her skin as hot as molten lead each touch causing third degree burns clothes an after thought simply there one second gone the next. Their strength melding into a whirling wave of destruction breaking furniture and everything in between.

[Jezebel Kendrick]

It had been as if she'd something close to tunnel vision really. There hadn't been anything but him in her sights as the will to be together just seemed to take over.

She knew her wolf was riding her this close to the full moon but somehow this was different. She couldn't recall a time in the past when their coupling had been anything like it was right then. The heat between them was almost too much to bear. But there was no putting the brakes on, she certainly could have but it never occurred to her.

Much much later they lay in the middle of the destroyed room. She lifted her head and looked around at all the broken furniture and started giggling, everything was going to have to be replaced.

Looking down she smiled before leaning in for another kiss when something caught her attention. All humor drained from her face as she quickly sat up and stared at the dark vine like markings appearing on the left side of his chest and spreading fast.

Jezs mouth fell open in shock as she quickly realized what was happening but for the life of her she couldn't form words.

[Asariel Wolff]

Eyes low as he recharged he sat up as Jez looked as if she’d seen a ghost. He touched her assuring himself that she was okay. She was she was whole he hadn’t let the beast slip too much the bruises were already fading the love marks would do so in the next few days. But the swirling vine settling down over her shoulder would not. It’d grow slightly fainter but it wouldn’t disappear it was designed to standout. It loosely formed a six point star which faded into a wolf he was afraid to see what the vine like pattern formed on him portended What was most important to Jez things she even kept form herself. As he was vain enough to know that it was him and her in this bond.



His eyes wide and shocked. He hadn’t meant he hadn’t known really and truly that he was ever that important enough for anyone including himself.



“I know breathe its okay if you don’t want this it can be changed I’m good lets decide now and we don’t have to stand before everyone…” he said again trying for the better version of himself. It fell hollow as he oly wanted to trumpet like the sun would only rise if he declare his intentions.

[Jezebel Kendrick]

The look on her face went from shocked to flat out pissed at hearing the words that came out of Asa's mouth. She seriously felt like screaming at him but that would have been pointless.

She didn't look at him again until finally his mark settled into the shape a tree and she just scowled at it. When her eyes did finally meet his again she was glaring daggers at him.

"Excuse me?" Did he somehow think he was going to get out of this? "Are you saying that for my benefit or yours." Really it was more of an accusation than a question and she had to get off of him before he got himself slapped. Moving quickly she slid off oh him and headed once again for the door, she needed to grab some clean clothes.

[Asariel Wolff]

"Yours of course you prat."He growled at her. Couldn't she see how happy he wanted be but was waiting on her response. Screw this good shit. Fuck it all he thought rising to his feet as if he would knock the sun out of the sky.

"Stop! Running away!" She knew how that triggered the hunt instinct and he was more instinct than thought more times than not. "You want to be mad be mad because I'm not the Prince charming or otherwise to your story fine be mad about that but be honest. Do you want to do this or not?"

[Jezebel Kendrick]

Stopping at the door she turned and not quite yelling but definitely rather loudly. "You think I need or want you to be my Prince Charming? You think that's what I want?" Shaking her head god he was acting like she wanted a fairytale or something.

"I just want you to be yourself because that is the guy I want, that is the guy I fell for even with the issues he's got." She was clearly talking about him though she wasn't certain he knew that.

On the off chance... "Of course I want this. If I didn't this wouldn't have happened." That was about as honest as she could get frankly and now it was his turn.

[Asariel Wolff]

He stopped moving only as he wasn’t sure he knew what to do. Looking down at the ground between them then back up his voice lower still vibrating with the stress he was under. He said, "Then why didn’t you just say that?" He shrugged it was hard to look coo and collected when he’d just blew his stack but he was at least calmer on the surface. There was so much that could go wrong still. There was the second mark and the chase then the whole pack accepting them for the third mark. God there were certainly more in the pack that would love a chance to throw a monkey wrench into whatever he was involving himself in. And this way t would be completely unactionable. They could claim loving Jez from a distance for so long or just being taken by their urges. It was a potential social black eye.

"I am still that guy. This guy is still the same the wrapping changed a little but only because I had to. We have sixteen different small packs of rogues answering to us. We have the entire Borough to look after and keep clean and … because of obligations we has only been me. So, I am tired and cranky and trying to not take it out on you. Trying to not pick a fight because fighting is easier when you know the other person can take it and dish it back… Plus fuck I’m starving. " He ran his head through his hair sighing. “Look truce okay. You want me I want you we want each other but shit gets in the way. Lets ignore it for a few minutes and get something to eat then have makeup sex?”

[Jezebel Kendrick]

Shaking her head they had communication problems but then new couples always had issues like they were having now. It would take some time to work things out. They would certainly still argue but that had to do with who they were as people. "The way you made it sound.. like this wasnt something you wanted and I didnt think you had either." If anything she had figured that while she was away he would have filled his bed with another. There had never been any spoken agreement between them and with the way he had come to her, that had just been her impression. She wouldnt ask if only because it would hurt if he had.

Leaning against the door she listened to him and again felt sad. She would have to make it up to him somehow.

Nodding her head yeah they needed to eat and soon. "I don't think we need a truce.. we just gotta work on our communication skills." She smiled a little at that and then scowled. "Makeup sex? What are we making up for then? Though I probably won't say no to it." She grinned, "but I need clothes first unless you intend that we eat somewhere not downstairs." She didn't have a problem with nudity but the humans certainly would.

[Asariel Wolff]

He smirked at her as she rambled. They were good she was okay he was calmer. He was underneath it all a simple man. Fight or not. As they were not fighting he was good. Now as far as food went he didn’t want to really dress especially as the hot water heater was woefully lacking in volume. It mean that it would make it problematic to have a shower as hot as he liked. Plus watching her naked was even better than watching her clothed. "We’re making up for me being me." He said dryly but smiled betraying the fact that he was completely joking, at least n the surface.

Mind on stating at least his hungers he joked twice in one conversation making it a record. As well as a sign as to how much he actually missed her. "Lets order in I know this great authentic Italian place that just might deliver to us."

[Jezebel Kendrick]

Her eyebrows rose suspiciously as she eyed him. Two jokes in the same conversation was certainly new. Still she stayed leaning against the door as she smiled at him for the effort. But she didn't wholly agree with him as it was not just his fault. "I disagree with you there, it takes two you know." And didn't they both know that.

She started to giggle and then realized how girlish she sounded and immediatley stopped. She was certainly not young anymore and it just sounded weird. Making a face and looked around the place wondering how he planned to eat in when they had no where but the floor to eat on which also happened to be covered in debris.

"I imagine they would happily bring up takeout but uhh... where do you propose we eat?" She gestured around the room in case he'd forgotten about the mess they had made.

[Asariel Wolff]

Looking at the mess they would have to clean up later he nodded to their couch. It was still useable for what they needed it for.

"Well there us enough couch left. We don't need the legs really." He shrugged grasping at straws because he really would much rather eat here in the nude.

[Jezebel Kendrick]

She couldn't help the smirk that settled on her lips as he appeared quite determined that they not leave the room. She was not certain of his reasons but it was definitely amusing.

Using her fingers she pushed away from the door to slowly saunter across the room to him putting just a little more sway to her hips than normal. By the time she stood in front of him it appeared obvious why he didn't want to leave.

There wasn't much of a height difference between them but she still had to look up. Grinning she stroked a finger down his chest "baby, we could just move to our room. No one has to get dressed to do that you know. We could order food here and have it sent there... Just food for thought." They were shifters and nudity was generally not a hang up they had.

Laying her palm flat to his chest she nipped a line up his neck as she waited for him to pick.

[Asariel Wolff]

He hadn’t wanted to leave the office as he didn’t know where his phone actually was in the debris and there was a call coming in soon about a potential new member. Some guy out of Atlanta he ran his hands through his hair glanced around the room and said fuck it.



“Alright we order then head to our room. A bed some stretching and limbering up a little food and a lot of exercise…” He said his right brow shooting up. His attempt at being a charmingly roguish lothario. He’d never been smooth with anything except drawing down on someone or handing out beat downs didn’t mean he couldn’t try.
