Hearing a bark above she slowed to a trot, coming up and stopping so that she was walking a step or two behind him. She didn't know any of the wolves in front of them and she didn't want to get into an altercation. It seemed as if the black wolf in front of her was in charge of all of them as well so she stayed near him, looking around in a seemingly innocent and yet calculating way. She knew there were too many of them to fight off so she hoped for her sake that they would stay peaceable.

Waking up in the woods was not a pleasant experience for Isabella, nor was the fact that she was completely naked and in the woods next to a man that she had only known for a brief time and one that was in a higher level over her. She could feel the anxiety coming back to her but she couldn’t focus on it now. As she did every full moon she began to take inventory of all her injuries however she could find none without moving. Standing up gracefully, silently, she noted that while she felt a couple twinges from the previous activities they weren’t pains so much as more muscles that she never used telling her to use them more.

She turned immediately away from the man who was a few feet away from her asleep, the man who had convinced her to run with him. It had been a liberating experience however she couldn’t fully remember the night before, only having the memory up to when they had met up with the rest of the wolves and after that it seemed as if Luna had taken over more forcefully, pushing her away as much as possible.

She assumed that there had been no altercation due to the fact that she wasn’t injured but she kept silent anyway in case anyone else was around. Moving silently through the woods she found the bush she had hidden her clothing in the night before and began to shake them out and pull them on. She pulled on her sports bra and then her pants, feeling much better about things now that she was covered at least somewhat. Her jacket followed before she pulled on her Nike Shox. She did this as quickly as possible as she saw no need in facing the man who tomorrow would go back to being her principal and that was unacceptable. She had found during the past few days feeling were springing up for the mysterious man and it was uncalled for.

No, she was better off leaving and dealing with him in a school setting where neither of them could get confused. She was completely clothed when she heard footsteps making their way towards her however she didn’t turn around, instead she stayed still, keeping her eyes trained on the shoe that she was just finishing tying so that she didn’t have to see who was coming towards her.

The night, like any other night had passed in a blur, there was little if anything that he could remember.. yet he could remember one thing. A Distinct smell, Although he could not place it, he didn't know where he had even smelt it before, only that it had surrounded him all night, and lingered with him at this moment. The ground beneath him felt damp, as the mildew lined the fallen leaves, the misty air around them smelt fresh and invigorating. Yet there was still that one smell, that he could not place that one smell that he felt the need to find? as his eyes finally flickered open he took in his surroundings, the sky above was grey and clouded, and he could see little in front of him for the morning mist blinded his view. Yet that smell..

Sitting up slowly he groaned as his back ached, his legs ached.. and various other parts ached. That.. was not normal, well to an extent it was but never had he ached this bad. Glancing around the space beside him was empty.. then he realized Isabella, Isabella had been beside him. For a moment brief worry and panic crossed his brow, where was she? was she alright? was she safe. Getting to his feet as swiftly as his limbs would allow him. He brushed his naked frame off, from all the damp leaves that clung to him. Then.. again there was that smell. Closing his eyes he inhaled, it was the most wonderful smell.. fresh and innocent almost.

Following his nose, given the fact his sense were still high alert and well attuned he walked, only to eventually discover he had reached the small area in which he had stashed his clothes. However, that was not what had caught his attention, no. It was the rounded back of Isabella as her back arched over as she adjusted her shoe. that was what he smelt, what he could feel around him. Of course, his mood still high from the moons heat, he made his way towards the small place where he had hidden his clothes and items. Pulling on his boxers, trousers followed by the remaining lower garments (shoes and socks) He smiled, naturally he could not hide his own.. excitement so to speak behind his trousers but nor did he make an effort too.

Reaching for his t-shirt he commented "I told you I would look after you did I not?" He mused as she finally turned around to face him, a wicked smirk playing across his lips. As he pulled on his shirt, (muscles flexing and all) he adjusted himself as best possible before he walked over to Isabella. Without a thought, he reached out a hand his finger tips trailing down across her cheek, only to latch onto a single stand of hair that he twisted and tucked behind her ear. It was only after he had done such a thing did the look register across his face. Why did he care so much? why did he want her so much? so much that it hurt him? It was then he spoke, yes he did want her.. and yes he would have her. "hm.. I have a proposition for you. I am aware it may appear to sudden, but I must admit Miss Matthews I cannot deny the fact that I want you any longer." He stated having already withdrawn his hand.

Shivers went up her spine as she felt someone drawing closer though she tried to ignore it. Her body ached, though not as much as normal after a full moon and she pulled her jacket closer to her body. Not that it did much good since she was only wearing a sports bra underneath however it made her feel less naked. It was strange since while she was a shy girl she had never been one who was self conscious when it came to her body since she worked out regularly to keep herself fit since she didn’t even want to know what an overweight werewolf looked like.

However she felt naked here…exposed…which was ironic since she was a lot more clothed than she had been mere minutes before hand. She could feel eyes on her, almost caressing her body as she kept to herself and continued to be turned away from the direction that the person was coming from. She didn’t have to look back to know who it was since the wolf inside recognized its companion from the night before. She felt Luna howling inside, wanting to be released, but she wouldn’t be…not if Isabella had anything to do with it.

Hearing his voice she couldn't help but turn around. She watched as he put his shirt on slowly though it did nothing to hide his excitement from what she assumed was the typical male response on waking up. She may have been innocent however that didn't mean she didn't know that most men woke up aroused and it was a natural thing. It didn't even occur to her at this rate that he was aroused because he wanted her. Why would it when all she saw was a meek woman that no one would want to be around? Yes, her self esteem had taken quite a large hit over the past several years.

"Yes sir you did." She replied softly, her eyes cast downwards once she realized she had essentially been checking out his large arousal. His fingers on her cheek and then putting a strand of hair behind her ear caused her to look up and the look in his eyes was mesmerizing. She felt him looking at her with something akin to confusion…but what would he be confused about? His words took her aback and she thought for a minute before replying. “The only reason I came here tonight…Gabriel…” She stumbled over his first name but said it with a straight back and her eyes looking directly into his, letting him know that she was serious. “Is because clearly I cannot keep myself from wanting you either…no matter how dangerous I know that to be.” She admitted, almost as if it was a weakness though in that moment she had never felt stronger.

As he pulled on his shirt, he couldn't help but smirk behind it, for he could feel her watching him and no doubt noticing his 'excitement' at seeing her. Still he wasn't embarrassed or shy about it, they were one of the same.. both werewolves both of which had ran together under the full moon, there was no use in denying it or hiding it. So to allow her that view a bit longer he purposefully took longer to pull down his shirt. Once done he smirked towards her.. "Like something you see?" he mused, knowing full well that she did.. for with his sense still high.. he could almost smell the desire as it very slowly begun to emerge from Isabella. When he approached, her to tell her that he had kept his word, the reply he got sent his insides curling in delight.. he could never get use to the word 'sir' as it slipped past her lips.. a born submissive that was what she was.. and would therefore be. She would be his submissive, and his alone.

When she looked up, their eyes met.. usually he hated it.. hated eye contact at times.. yet this time? He felt his breath hitch and his insides tighten further, his eyes flashed down to her lips.. so plump and ripe what he wouldn't do to taste them one more..
The only reason I came here tonight…Gabriel… Then she said his name that alone was something of a soft melody.. Isabella was perhaps the first outside of his family whom he had allowed to call him by name... and it was such a sweet sound, deep within him that desire and hunger burned.. the moon's heat was still playing havoc with his emotions and feelings.. Only then did she admit that she too could not deny her own feelings, with that his lips twisted into an almost smug smirk of sorts.
"Hmm, well then.. come around to mine.. you may shower there if you wish.. the weekend is still young after all." he mused "We can have breakfast.. and discuss this proposition i have for you?" He stated, his eyes narrowed upon her lips.. he could see the way her chest heaved under the influence of his closeness, all of which only made him feel that much more.. in control.

The fact that he hadn't out-rightly given her an option he walked a head into the direction of his car.. name so that he could regain control of himself.. his body felt tense all over again, yet it's tension was due to something for more sexual than he cared to admit. It still puzzled him, and irritated him to an extent that this girl.. Isabella was managing to chip away at his defenses.. everything he had spent so many years building was very slowly becoming undone. The fact that he now had not only invited her to come around his, to spend the majority of the day there, it was the fact that he wanted her too. Pausing he turned around to face her "Coming?" He mused, and could not hide that playful smile combined with the twinkle that danced in his eyes. Making his way down the slope, it wasn't long before he reached his car, unlocking and awaiting for Bella to catch up.

It was now more than ever.. that seemed the best time to propose his idea... offer her the chance of becoming his

She blushed and looked away when he caught her staring at his chest. Yes as a matter of fact she did like what she saw. His abs were sculpted as if they were made out of marble and she could easily see that beneath the clothes he normally wore that his arms were strong. She could easily imagine his arms being wrapped around her and that thought scared her more than she wanted to admit. She had never wanted anyone like she wanted him and if worried her more than she wanted to say.

She knew this man had the power to break her...more than she was already. She knew that while some would find her strong as she had dealt with the loss of her brother with barely a tear shed, at least to the public...that was not the case. She had lost her will to deal when her brother went missing and since then she had been withdrawn and quiet. Not at all like the young girl she had grown up as.

We felt that girl being drawn back out in the presence of the man standing near her but she knew that with that came the down side of being vulnerable. She didn't know if she would be able to stand being hurt like she had been in the past and yet she didn't know if she could stay away from him. She knew what her body screamed at her to do. Is screamed to let him have his way with it. Yet her heart was hiding and that worried her. She knew she usually listened to her heart because that was what needed protecting but her body and mind seemed to be making more sense...though she wondered if she would end up regretting that in the end.

Hearing his offer she nodded but stopped before they could go much further. "If you don't mind I'd prefer if you dropped me off at my apartment so I can grab some different clothes. Also that way I can follow you and you won't have to drive me home later." She told him, trying to keep her eyes on his though her natural submissive nature that she had honed all these years forced her into looking down.

Taking a deep breath she forced her eyes to meet his. "I would feel more comfortable with that and that way in case you decide after spending a bit more time with me that you can't stand to be in my presence than you can kick me out without feeling guilty." She told him playfully.

He could see the way she looked at him, and that caused the slow smug smirk to creep across his lips, Gabriel knew he was attractive, he made sure of it. What with the gym, exercise coupled with being a werewolf, he knew all to well his affect that he had on the poor woman back at his work, the amount of times they had tripped into his office, stumbled over their words and worn less and less clothing and more and more makeup. All of which had never attracted him, or caught his attention. In fact no female had ever caught his attention till Isabella. Tilting his head up a fraction to reveal the strong column of his neck, and Adams apple he looked down to her a fraction, his expression thoughtful. "Hm, Miss Matthews, you drive a hard bargain" he mused softly, she had accepted his offer, (not that she had, had an option) Yet inserted some from of compromise, this girl was indeed filled with surprises. Of course, such a comment could not be taken lightly without his own input..

"What If, I drop you home, allow you to collect items, and allow you to drive you own death trap of a vehicle, on the condition you spend the night around mine." he mused, his tone just as serious. "For believe me Isabella, there is no way I shall be letting you out of my sight tonight." He stated firmly, before he stepped that bit closer to her.. invading her personal space as he did so, his hand lifting to cup her chin, where he whispered, his tone seductive and low. "I have every intention of you staying tonight..I could never get bored of your presence. In fact Miss Matthews.. I want nothing more than to spend as much time possible within it." He purred, lowering his head as he said the last sentence, his breath warm and soft as it brushed across her neck and ear. With a slow wicked smirk, he relished in the scent she was giving off in that moment and very slightly inhaled it. It truly was such a beautiful scent.. that bubble of lust and desire..


With that said, he stepped away removing all contact and distancing himself that fraction from her, for his own breathing had heightened in that intimate moment. With that said, he would allow her to ponder over such words as he headed down the small slope that lead to his awaiting car. Holding the passenger side door open he gestured to it. "Are you coming?" he mused, his smirk playful..with his arousal still present. It would indeed take some amount of control to calm himself down.. no matter what it was.. simply being near Isabella affected him. Once she had climbed in the car, he shut the door behind her and made his way around to the drivers side where he slid in, and switched the engine on, before his fingers reached for the CD player, where he pressed play, and music of almost classical taste filled the car.

She looked up instantly when he spoke ill of her motorcycle. "My vehicle is not a death trap if one knows how to drive it, which I do!" She told him haughtily. "Besides, I spend enough time cooped up in small spaces...so when I'm on the road I like to be free and being on my motorcycle allows me that." She shot at him before lowering her face again, her cheeks blushing as she realized she had spoken her mind once again rather than just staying silent. She wasn’t sure what it was about him that caused her to speak up but it was something…something she needed to figure out before she got herself into trouble.

She also needed to remind her that while yes he was treating her as such right now, she was not his equal. She was his student technically which meant he had power over her. She needed to remember that or else she could get them both into a lot of trouble. She knew that this whole situation was asking for trouble but for some reason it seemed neither of them could stop it. She wanted to walk away yet her entire being rebelled against even the thought of it.

She felt him invade her space as he spoke though didn't look up until his hand under her chin forced her to do so. She knew she should decline the offer. She should tell him that she would come to his and spend time with him but at the end of the night she would return to her apartment...yet something rebelled inside her at even thinking of leaving him. She wasn't even looking forward to the minute amount of time she spent away from him when she was getting cleaned up. This was not a healthy obsession and she knew in the end all she was going to do was get hurt and yet even knowing that didn’t stop her from agreeing. “Fine, but if you decide you want to get away from me OR I decide that I’m not interested in whatever it is you have to say, at least this way I’ll have my vehicle there so that there is no awkwardness. Deal?” She asked him.

She could feel his breath on her cheeks and felt her eyes fall shut as she leaned away from him, for some reason feeling his breath on her neck at that point caused her entire body to clench in on itself and she knew that her scent gave off the desire that she felt.
Her eyes opened when she felt him move away. She felt a pout gracing her lips but she schooled her features back into her normal mask of shyness before he could see it. She waited until he spoke before following him to the car, sliding into the passenger seat.

It wasn't long before they reached her apartment. "If you leave me your address I'll meet you there in an hour or so." She told him, hoping that he would do so. She knew that he would more than likely argue that she could follow him but she needed to digress for a few moments while she got ready.

To his comment about her vehicle, he arched his eyebrow. Did she honestly wish to go down that route? "Why not stomp your feet, and through a temper tantrum while you are at it?" he questioned, but with humor in his voice. To him this was odd, had it been any other being he would of glowered to them, demanded that they watch their mouth but she..? She held him captivated, he almost found her rebuttals amusing. When she mentioned about being coped up in small faces he replied. "Well now you don't need to, for you shall be running with me upon each full moon." he stated, his tone was firm thus indicating she really didn't have a choice in the matter. It was only when she lowered her gaze, did Gabriel chuckle. Oh that submissive nature was still there despite her clearly stubborn and defensive persona.

Having spoken to her up close and personal so to speak, they reached a level of negotiation.
Fine, but if you decide you want to get away from me OR I decide that I’m not interested in whatever it is you have to say, at least this way I’ll have my vehicle there so that there is no awkwardness. Deal? She was indeed a driven woman if her offer was anything to go by. Crossing his arms he studied her intently for a moment, his gaze hard and almost cold as he pondered such a offer. Then a very slow smirk graced his lips
"Very well. I must say Miss Matthews you truly do drive a hard bargain" he stated for a second time before he made his way towards his car. Once she was inside, he moved around to the other side and started the ignition. Whilst the journey in the car was silent, the silence between them was somewhat comfortable.

As he pulled up outside her apartment, out of habit he climbed out and made his way towards her side of the car and opened the door, as she spoke he lent partially against the car's frame, to the extent of leaning just above her, his hands and arms resting upon the cars roof. "Hmm" He pondered the thought, could he last an hour apart? perhaps but it would prove to be somewhat difficult. "Fine, If you are not around mine within an hour I am coming to get you myself. Understood?" He stated, his tone firm. "I shall send you a text as soon as I am home, there you'll see my address." He announced, before stepping back, offering his hand towards her, in order to help her out of the car he watched her with a speculative gaze.

She blushed when Gabriel spoke, though she wished he would continue to call her by her first name or a shortened version rather than Miss Matthews. She didn't know why but she felt as if he was her superior...well...either way he was. However hearing the words Miss Matthews made her feel as if she was in school still and she really didn't want to feel that way with him...especially since what they were doing here was so forbidden. She knew this and yet something inside her told her to let go, to go ahead and take this in which he was offering…and that frightened her.

She nodded as she took his hand, stepping out of the car before releasing it as quickly as she had taken it. She didn't know why but out in the open here she felt exposed...and she didn't want that. She didn't want their relationship to cause a problem for either of them. Not that they truly were in any type of relationship at the moment being that he hadn't even given her permission to call him by his first name. She wasn’t a fan of this and if they talked later (she still hadn’t fully made up her mind yet if she was going to bolt or not) she would definitely be bringing that up.

“Sounds good.” She told him softly before making her way towards her motorcycle and pushing her bag inside the seat. She knew she needed to get some clarity on the situation before she lost her mind, hence her not looking back after she had walked away from him. She knew if she looked back she would do something incredibly embarrassing and she didn’t need any more moments such as that in her life. She had lost too much already…she didn’t want to lose whatever this was as well.

She slid onto her motorcycle, sliding her hair inside the helmet before taking off, not looking back as she did. She needed some separation and desperately needed to get away from the man that clouded her mind and judgment. It took her mere minutes to get back to her apartment and once inside she slid the door shut and locked it, leaning against it as she did. She knew she needed to get a grip and yet something about him called to her. She didn’t understand it but she didn’t know if she could fight against it either.

Almost on auto pilot she made her way into the bathroom to shower, needing to wash away the reminder of last night…of what could have happened had he not had a handle on things. Could she do that every month? The wolf inside her screamed yes while she, Isabella, screamed no. She washed her hair, and washed her body, shaving and not noticing whether or not she nicked herself as she did.

The water ran cold before she could finish and she quickly looked at the clock hanging in her bathroom, noting that she had been in the shower for over a half an hour just standing under the spray. She made her way out and simply stood there, wondering if she should go or stay…run and hide or go and embrace whatever it was that he was offering. Could she do it? Better question, should she do it?

She couldn't do it...she had to run.
