The sun was sinking below the horizon, tinting the Los Angeles sky with shades of orange and purple as I smiled, my eyes fixed on the line where the light was leaving, the night falling like a soft veil over the mountain. The twilight brought a silence that danced around us, the chill of the breeze cutting through the air as I noticed Tory shivering slightly beside me, her arms wrapped around her body in an attempt to retain heat. I reached out to her, the gesture filled with a tenderness that came from deep in my chest, a flame that I wanted to use to warm her against the icy wind.
She didn't say anything, her blue eyes shining like the sea at dusk as she stared at me, a mixture of surprise and trust dancing there like a soft melody. She approached slowly, the heat of her body finding mine as she snuggled against me, her head resting on my chest as if it were the place where she always belonged. "Your body is warm…" she murmured, her soft voice echoing against me, the sound cutting through the silence like a breeze that carried the love I felt for her.
"Of course," I replied, my voice thick with playful passion as I held her tighter, the heat of the wolf inside me pulsing like a flame I couldn't extinguish. "Being half wolf, my body was made to withstand cold temperatures…" The tone danced between us, my love for her shining like the last ray of sunlight that was setting on the horizon.
"Clark…" she began, her voice shaking with a mixture of uncertainty and longing as she lifted her blue eyes to mine, the weight of the question dancing there like a soft shadow. "How is this going to work? You know, between me, you, and Larusso…"
Honesty burned inside me as I stared at her, the love for her and Sam dancing like twin flames I didn't want to extinguish. "I'll be honest with you, Tory…" I said, my voice firm but filled with a vulnerability I couldn't hide. "Even I don't know how this is going to work. I just know I'll find a way. You don't have to think about that right now, Tory… Just know that from this day forward, you two are my priority. I won't betray you, and I intend to create a family with you both…" The weight of that promise echoed between us, a melody I wanted her to hear, my heart beating fast with the desire to protect them and love them forever.
"I see…" she murmured, her blue eyes softening as she stared at me, her tone laden with an acceptance that danced like a gentle breeze. "Arrrg, okay then, you pervert…" she continued, her tone rising with a skeptical teasing that sparkled in her eyes like the sky at dusk. "Are you sure you can handle two women at once?"
"Do you doubt that I can handle the two of you?" I replied, a smile dancing on my lips as I pulled her closer, my love for her burning inside me like a flame I wanted to rekindle. I hugged her with a playful grip, the warmth of her body against mine erasing the chill of the night, her laughter echoing between us like a melody I didn't want to silence.
"Ahhh, stop, you idiot, I'm going to fall from here!" she screamed, throwing herself backwards as she fell onto the grass, the sound of her laughter cutting through the air like a ray of light that illuminated the gathering darkness. Her body rested on the earth, her blond hair spread out like a golden halo against the green.
"Pff, hahaha," I laughed, laying down next to her as the sound danced between us, the love for her burning in me like a flame I couldn't extinguish. "What's wrong, are you scared of heights?"
"Hmph… you idiot…" she muttered, her blue eyes flashing with feigned anger as she patted my chest, the gesture filled with a tenderness that cut like a soft knife. Then she turned to me, her eyes meeting mine with an intensity that made my heart race, and kissed me, the heat of her lips against mine like a promise I wanted to seal forever. She climbed on top of me, the weight of her body against mine erasing the world around us as we kissed, the minutes fading into a dance of sighs and touches, the love between us burning like a fire I didn't want to put out.
After much kissing and losing ourselves in each other, she pulled away, the air between us filled with a warmth that echoed like a never-ending melody. "Ahh, Clark, I think we should go now… It's already night…" she said, her tone laden with a soft tiredness as a line of saliva glistened between our mouths, her blue eyes shining with a mixture of passion and serenity.
"Hmm?" I looked at the clock, the hand showing 6:15 p.m., time flying by like a breeze I couldn't hold back. "Wow, time flew by so fast… You asked to see my werewolf form, didn't you?" I stood up, holding out my hand to her as I stared at her, the love for her dancing in me like a flame I wanted to share. "Come on, let's go to my place…"
"Your house?" she asked, her blue eyes narrowed with playful suspicion as she stared at me, her tone thick with a curiosity that sparkled like the sky at dusk. "Hmmm… Okay…"
With my back to her, I curled my lips into a predatory smile, the wolf in me—now mixed with the vampire—growling in anticipation. Thoughts: Hehe, you won't escape me today, Tory... Not after teasing me like that... Love for her danced in me like a flame I wanted to consume, the desire to have her near burning like the moonlight rising in the sky.
We descended from the mountain, the cold wind cutting through the air as we climbed into the car, the roar of the engine echoing like thunder that carried us to the next chapter, the weight of that special night dancing between us like a melody I would never forget.
