After our family meeting Michael took my hand in his, I couldn't look away from him. He asked, "Bri, will you spend the afternoon with me? I feel like we need to actually spend time getting to know each other." I could only nod affirming his place in my heart. I too wanted to know this man who was my mate. Our wolves needed to meet as well.
"Mom, I want Michael and I to talk before we begin to plan our wedding.", I understand the working of her mind so I make sure she doesn't plan it her way. "You kids have a wonderful afternoon honey", my mom said.
We practically ran down the steps, out the door as we shifted into our wolves. I let Zafiro take control. The wind was flowing through the fur on our bodies. Zafiro looked at Luther as they ran. The suns warmth making her feel a desire to be in the water. She changed directions and Luther followed as if he was set with her navigation system.
Zafiro started to slow to a walk and then rubbed against Luther. He howled before he got to the waters edge. "I think we need a swim after such a vigorous run.", Zafiro said through the mind link. Luther was the first in the cool water from the waterfall. "This is called Anna Ruby Falls. Have you ever been here?", Zafiro said again using the mind link. "It really is beautiful but no I haven't seen this place.", Luther answered her mind link.
The woods were lush with many plants. Even though we are considered predators I could still hear the sounds of many animals. Birds were twittering, many small animals were forging, deer were hidden in the brush. A rabbit ran out in our path. Normally they would run from us however they were not afraid of us today.
After a nice cool swim the two wolves ran back towards the house. They were both very hungry and decided to give control back. Luther was the first to give his human back control. Michael sat on the soft grass waiting for Bri. Zafiro just wanted to meet Michael first. She snuggled up to him as he ran his fingers through her fur. She used the mind link to speak to him, "You are a gentle mate, Bri is very lucky to have someone with so much power that has a gentle touch and smooth voice." Before Michael could respond Bri was sitting in front of him.
"I'm starving, our cabin is not to far from here. We can cook, find clothes and rest before we go home. Mom left her car there just in case it was needed. Why don't I give Luther the directions and I can ride on his back.", Bri was using the mind link. Michael just nodded and gave control back to Luther.
"Hi, gallant steed. May I ride on your back?", Bri used the mind link with Luther. "Yes, of course my love. ", Luther couldn't get enough of Bri"s scent or the sweet sound of her voice. She smells like rain, the beach and a clean earthy fragrance, Luther thought. Her lips plump. Her breast were a perfect handful not so large you couldn't enjoy them, perfectly bouncing against his muscular body as he ran. She held onto him using her leg strength to keep her in place and her hands in his fur. He felt the muscles of her stomach move with his back muscles as he turned or moved faster. She was short but fit him like a glove. He could smell her arousal and it was all he could do to focus on the run.
When they got to the cabin, Bri got down to open the door. When she turned around it was Michael's eyes she faced. He was much taller than her but she didn't mind. She couldn't resist just one kiss. She tippy toed to kiss him, leaning her body towards his. As their naked bodies touched it was like sparks flying in all directions. She had never felt anything like it before. He began to purr again, putting his hands on her hips. They walked in the cabin, neither paying attention to where they were going.
Michael pushed the door closed with his foot but he had no idea where the bed was. He broke the kiss to ask but Bri spoke first. "Michael I've been waiting for you all of my life. I've never been with a man and I would like to wait until our wedding day. That is if you don't mind?", She had never sounded so timid. Even though he was extremely hard for her wanting to make her his right then, he said, "Bri I respect you, love you and treasure you. I would wait for you forever if it took so long."
The cabin was hidden in the protected woods of Bent Tree, Jasper Georgia. The gated community had many animals that couldn't be hunted by men. It was a small 2 bed room 2 bath cabin. The kitchen was small but stocked. Not much in the refrigerator but the basics. The laundry room was just a broom closet with a stackable washer dryer set. The fireplace was small but cozy. The living room and dining area were back to back. A loft was up a small staircase. The loft was a mix of game, tv, bedroom.
Subrina showed Michael where to shower, and find clean clothes. She retreated to her room to shower, and dress. When she came out he was already cooking. She went over to the fireplace to start a warm cozy fire.
"What are you cooking there handsome?", Bri wrapped her arms around his waist as she talked. "I found eggs, onion, green pepper, mushrooms, and turkey. I thought of omelettes. What do you think? Breakfast for dinner love.", Michael looked so pleased with his decision. "Sounds perfect!", Bri sighed.
"I found an old notebook in my room, I thought we could sit in front of the fireplace to eat and plan our wedding. ", Bri said. She walked over to the chest that served as a coffee table. She opened up the notebook and begin to write.

"Michael do you want it to be inside or out?", Bri held her breath until he answered. "Outside sounds perfect to me love. What time are you thinking? Morning, noon or late afternoon?

The wedding plan was completed. Now to return home. They cleaned the kitchen, put out the fire, and used her moms car to return home. Luckily they had no problems since neither of them had a license with them. He walked to the door with her, kissed her goodnight and said "I love you Bri." As he walked away she whispered, "I love you to Michael Brown." He smiled never revealing he had heard her.
Mom was waiting at the bottom of the stairs. I gave her my notes and kissed her cheek. I ran up to my room. I had never been happier in my life. I didn't want to share anything with anyone yet. I wanted to let this feeling engulf me. I was happy in love. Love that was the unknown feeling I had. The Moon Goddess was exactly right this unexpected mate was perfect. I don't know what his snake powers are yet but I do know I love him very much. I hope the snake will only help us in the days to come. His mother's warning was still on my mind.
