Chapter 2
Melody was surprised and disappointed. Why had he gone without so much as a goodbye? Her nascent hopes of establishing a relationship with Rufus were cruelly dashed. But hadn’t she heard that you could never have a relationship with a werewolf? Shifter by name, shifty by nature.
Melody sighed. It wasn’t the first time she had had her heart broken and she suspected it wouldn’t be the last.
“Oh, girlfriend, I know all about werewolves. They just shag you and leave you.” Jeremy was Melody’s closest friend, the only person she confided in. He took a sip of his coffee as the two sat in a local cafe. “I’ve known quite a few.”
“Really?” Melody was interested. “I didn’t know you get gay werewolves.”
“Oh yes. They’ll hump anything that moves.”
Melody rolled her eyes. “Thanks.”
Jeremy realized that he was being tactless. “I mean, some of these guys are like that. Some of them are really quite lovely and loyal.”
“Really? Is that true?”
He looked down. “No.”
Melody threw her hands up. “Perfect. Some werewolf just fucked me and has moved on to the next bitch.”
“Oh, sweetheart.” Jeremy squeezed her hand. “It’s not all bad. You know, they are great in bed.”
“That is true,” she admitted.
“Really?” he said, delighted. “Tell me all about it.”
“Well, there isn’t much to tell. He was possibly the best screw I ever had.”
Jeremy sighed. “I know, right? There was this werewolf I met in Paris. Francois. He had, hands down, the biggest penis I have ever seen. And I have seen plenty.”
Melody didn’t doubt it. “Well, I guess I’ll just stick to humans from now on.”
“It’s for the best if you want a relationship, really. On the other hand, they are great for some short term fun.”
“Can’t I have both?” moaned Melody.
“No,” said Jeremy definitively. “Why do you think I am single?” Melody looked so forlorn that he felt compelled to do something about it. “Come on,” he said comfortingly. “I know this great bar where all sorts of strange people hang out. Maybe we can find a werewolf for you there.”
“No!” said Melody. “No werewolves!”
“Fine. No werewolves. I’ll tell you what, I’ve got invites to this great new club that has just opened. Apparently it is a celebrity hang out. Why don’t we go there on Saturday?”
“Well … OK,” she said. No point in moping. “Let’s do it!” They giggled and high-fived each other.
And so that Saturday, Melody stepped out of the black London cab wearing a slinky black dress that showed off her cleavage to good effect. “Rocking the tities tonight, I see,” observed Jeremy as he gave her a welcome kiss. He was wearing a flamboyant silk shirt and black slacks.
“Well, if you got it, flaunt it, right?”
“Amen, sister.” Jeremy led her to the VIP entrance where he showed the invites to some sullen bouncers. They entered the club and surveyed the interior.
“Hmm … I see the jet set is partying tonight,” commented Melody, taking all the expensively dressed men and women gyrating to the music.
“Yes. All the good looking folk. I am sure you’ll be able to find someone to scratch your itch.”
“I don’t have an itch,” said Melody demurely, discreetly checking out the men. There were a lot of good-looking guys around.
“Lot of good looking guys around,” said Jeremy, echoing her thoughts. “Come on, let’s have some fun!”
They headed to the bar and had a round of tequila shots. Melody found herself sandwiched between a table and a middle aged man. “How are you doing?” he leered. He leaned over and Melody got an unfortunate dose of his bad breath. “You know what would look good on me? You.”
Melody managed to slink away and join Jeremy on the dance floor. Jeremy was a good dancer and she was enjoying the music when she noticed a hot looking guy approaching. With his chiseled jaw and wavy, dark hair, he could well have been a model. Melody was interested and gave her ass an extra shake all the while pretending not to notice him. But he brushed past her and started talking to Jeremy who was clearly very interested. Soon the two started dancing and Melody started to feel like a spare wheel. She sidled away and went to quietly sit by the bar. The good guys were all taken or gay, she reflected gloomily as she sipped her margarita.
“No date tonight, huh?” Melody turned to see who had spoken to her and found herself staring at an extremely handsome man with high cheek bones and intense eyes. Melody suddenly felt as if she had butterflies in her stomach.
“Uh, no, not really,” she admitted, with a little laugh.
“That’s a shame,” the man said, looking at her carefully. “A beautiful woman like you should have a date.”
“Well, unfortunately I don’t,” she said. “Story of my life.”
The man extended a hand. “I’m Leo.”
“Melody.” As she shook his hand, she noted the perfectly manicured nails and the smoothness of his skin. And his hair looked carefully styled. This was one man who took care of himself.
“Can I offer you a drink?” As he spoke, Melody realized that he wasn’t from England; he had a slight accent that suggested that he was from Europe though his English was otherwise perfect.
“No, thank you,” said Melody. She gestured to her glass. “I just finished this one.”
“Mmmm. Well, there is no such thing as too much drink. Have another one with me.”
“I think there is,” said Melody laughing. “But OK.”
They had instant chemistry, and Melody found herself relaxing and becoming increasingly chatty with this urbane and handsome man. “I have to go,” said Leo suddenly.
“Why, what’s wrong?” asked Melody, startled.
“Nothing,” said Leo smoothly. “Just a little matter I remembered. Perhaps I can call you sometime?”
Melody was more than happy to give her number, but affected nonchalance as she did so. She sighed once Leo had left. Would he call her? There were plenty of women to prey on a good-looking man like him. Melody was a beautiful girl, but she had no doubt that she had plenty of competition where Leo was concerned.
“Who was that dishy man?” gushed Jeremy, rushing to her side.
“Leo,” said Melody. “Not bad looking, is he?”
“Honey, it’s raining men,” exclaimed Jeremy. “And you finally managed to find someone who isn’t a werewolf!”
“Yeah, I have had a hard time finding an attractive male human,” admitted Melody wryly. “Let’s hope this one works out.”
After waiting more than a week for Leo to contact her, he finally rang. “Fancy dinner?”
“Ummm.” Melody pretended to think about it. “OK,” she said finally.
“There is this great Italian restaurant I know. I’ll pick you up.”
Was it safe to give him her address so soon? Why the hell not, she thought. She told him the address and hung up. So, finally, a date with an attractive man, she thought. She hoped desperately that this one would work out well. She was dressed in an eye-catching cream dress that left little to the imagination when Leo turned up. He was immaculately turned out as well in an elegant suit. This man did have good taste, thought Melody, an opinion confirmed by the racing green Aston Martin that he drove.
The restaurant he took her to was an expensive looking one in the West End. “So, tell me about yourself,” he said as they settled into the plush seats.
“There isn’t much to say,” said Melody. “I’ve just finished my degree and moved to London for an internship.”
“Degree in what?” Leo inquired.
“Medicine.”
“Beauty and brains – that’s a good combination,” he observed.
Melody smiled. “What about you? What do you do?”
“Well, I’m originally from Denmark. I work in the family business. I am visiting London to, um, explore business opportunities.”
“I must say, your English is perfect.”
“Thank you. Unfortunately, it’s not as good as my Danish.”
They laughed. The rest of the evening went well, helped by the excellent food, fine wine and good conversation. As they left the restaurant, Leo suggested that they go for a short walk. Melody had avoided going for walks at night after her attack, but somehow felt very safe with Leo. Although it was quite cold, it was a beautiful night with stars shining in the inky black sky.
“You know, this may seem a little premature, but you’re a very special lady and I like you very much,” said Leo.
Melody’s heart leapt. It sounded too good to be true.
Leo looked intently into her eyes. “I think I am falling in love with you, Melody.”
Melody was entranced by his gaze. She desperately wanted to make this gorgeous man hers. On an impulse, she embraced him, kissing him passionately on his lips. He was momentarily taken aback, but kissed her back with intensity. Oh my, thought Melody as he slipped his tongue into her mouth. Was he going to take her back to his place?
But he seemed to have a closer place in mind. Taking her hand, he led her down a deserted alleyway. Pushing her against the wall, he undid her top, feeling her breasts and sucking on her nipples. Melody was shocked. Did he mean to take her here? But as the cool night air whipped against her nipples making them stand erect to be sucked by his hot, wet tongue, Melody’s doubt evaporated. Melody may have looked demure, but the appearance was misleading. Beneath the pretty nice-girl doctor was a wild woman waiting to come out. She did not protest as Leo ran his tongue down her stomach before hoisting her skirt and dropping her panties. He ran his tongue hungrily over her labia before pushing in deep into her cunt. Melody squealed in pleasure as he licked her out, darting his tongue in and out of her pussy. He kissed her clit and started sucking on it, causing spasms of pleasure to run through her body. She spread her legs some more, to better allow Leo to pleasure her.
But Leo had something else in mind. Standing up, he fished his cock from his trousers. It was enormous – perhaps not as big as the one Rufus had, but huge nonetheless – and beautifully shaped. Melody decided the time was ripe to show him her skills. Taking his dick in her hand, she jerked him off, reveling in the feel of its hardness. She kissed him as she did so, tasting her own pussy juice in his tongue. Kneeling, she took his shaft in her mouth, sucking it vigorously as she moved her head up and down on it. As she popped it out, the moonlight glistened on the bulbous head. His cock twitched as she continued to pump him, all the while licking the head of his penis.
Leo had enough foreplay. He desperately wanted to fuck this gorgeous woman. Placing her against the wall, he pressed his cock against her wet clit. Melody put one hand on the wall for support as she leaned back and Leo entered her, pushing his engorged organ to the hilt. The wet walls of her cunt clung to his pulsating organ as he slowly moved it in and out, filling her with intense pleasure.
But Melody liked it rough. “Fuck me harder,” she hissed, desperate to be pounded by his man meat. He quickened his pace, thrusting deep into her with increasing quickness and vigor. She clung to his arms, feeling his huge muscles rippling beneath his shirt as he pounded her. The sound of his cock hitting her moist cunt and his heavy balls slapping against her thighs mixed with their groans of pleasure as they fucked. Melody had been keeping a careful eye out in case someone came by, but now she closed her eyes, swept away in ecstasy as she climaxed repeatedly while Leo thrust in to her. At last, with a cry he, too, came, firing his seed deep into her pulsating pussy.
They embraced, kissing hungrily, their tongues entwined. Melody had never had sex like this before and was blown away. She clung to him passionately, relishing the feel of his hard body damp with sweat from their lovemaking. “You’re an incredible woman, Melody. I want you to be mine forever.”
Melody was more than happy to be his, but said nothing as they put their clothes on and walked back to the car. After he had dropped her back at his place and left promising to call her, Melody stepped into the shower. Well, she had certainly not seen that coming, she thought as she bathed. Leo had been incredible and everything she had ever wanted in a guy. But would it work out?
