Katt Marshall - March 27, 2008 11:27 PM (GMT)
"Yeah, I need a large order of crab rangoons, and two orders of sesame chicken with white rice." Katt rattled off her address, smiling again as she closed her cellphone and tossed it on the seat beside her. Checking her rearview mirror, yet again, to make sure sure Chris was following her ok, Katt turned up the radio to a notch or two above blaring as she wound her way through the Miami streets en route to her house. Her body was still practically vibrating from that last kiss Chris had given her, and she was hoping that singing along to the radio would be enough to calm her and her wolf enough to make it through at least dinner before she pounced him.
The song changed, the familiar sound of Korn's Twisted Transistor taking over the speakers and Katt's head bobbed along in time with the music. Singing along with a smile on her face, she turned into her driveway. She was still singing as Chris got out of the truck behind her. Turning off the car, Katt grabbed her phone and got out of her car, closing the heavy door behind her. Her wolf perked up at the site of him walking towards her, making her heart jump in her chest. "Thank you, and yeah. Should be here in about 20 minutes."
Grinning, Katt grabbed Chris' hand and began to pull him towards the door. "Come on, let me give you the tour," she said with a wink and a laugh, leading the way to the front door.

Chris didn’t realize how much his skin ached to be touched by hers until she grabbed his hand and a bolt of fire and electricity travelled to his heart immediately waking his wolf who was grinning like a Cheshire cat – rather odd for a dog. “Twenty minutes…damn not long enough for what I wanted. Think they may run late?” he asked with a wink as he let her bring him inside.
“Roof new?” Chris asked as they walked inside the door, him looking skyward until they were inside the house. He let out a whistle as he looked around the house, it wasn’t a penthouse no, but it had character and potential not like those manufactured homes. He ran a hand along the nearest wall and turned back to Katt, his face lighting up the minute he laid his eyes on her. Damn he wanted her, but as his stomach offered up in a grumble he hoped he could only hear, they needed their strength.
His wolf was actively smelling the air and trying to figure out where they were, but he was as easily convinced as the human. A small whimper came from the beast as Katt wasn’t near them anymore, so Chris went to stand by Katt and awaited the tour. “You lead and I shall follow.”
Katt Marshall - March 28, 2008 12:11 AM (GMT)
Katt's wolf sat in her chest, its tail thumping as it took in Chris' scent. She grinned, watching Chris over her shoulder as she led the way to the door. "Well, for what I've got planned, we may want to wait for dinner. You know, help bolster our strength." Katt returned Chris' wink with one of her own before turning her head back to the door. Unlocking it, she led the way inside and held her arm out with a flourish. "Ta dah!" she said with a laugh, dropping her keys on a small table in the entryway and closing the door behind them.
"Yep. They replaced the roof about 2 months before I bought the place. The walls are all in good shape and freshly painted. The place is clean and all, it just needs sprucing up. The cabinets and counters in the kitchen need to be replaced, and I want to put in a new sliding glass door to replace the old one. It's nothing major, just want the place to look nice. Both bathrooms were redone too, as part of the closing I asked the previous owners to pay for it. It used to be a rental property and it wasn't in the best of shape when I first looked at the place."
Katt grinned as Chris came up to stand by her. She took his hand again and with a wink, began to lead him around. Taking him to the kitchen first, she showed him what she had been talking about. The rest went by pretty much as any tour would go. She showed him the spare bedrooms, one of which she had turned into an office or library of sorts, complete with a large comfortable chair and a soft light to read by. The other rooms were bare except for boxes. The living room was all set up, her confortable leather couch centered along one wall with her 36" television on the entertainment center on the opposite wall. Set on both sides of the entertainment center were shelving holding the few movies she had with her.
"Most of my stuff is still in storage out of town. I called the guy and he said he would use my security deposit to ship it all to me, but that will take a few weeks," she said with a shrug. Katt then gestured to the door at the end of the hall. "Now, that is my room. I figure, in the interest of removing temptation, I'll save showing you that room until after dinner."
Christopher Henley - March 28, 2008 11:34 PM (GMT)
Chris couldn’t help but let out a surprised laugh at her words, it was as if he said them aloud. In fact he had to think back and make sure he didn’t say them out loud. Luckily he had the house to pay attention to so she didn’t stare at him like a crazy man. “Yeah the roof looked rather new” he said out loud to ease his nerves. He followed her taking in all the details of the house. He nodded as she pointed out the things she was going to remodel.
“You ever need a hand, I am free on weekends. If you can’t exploit your boyfriend, what’s the point of having one?” The words were out of his mouth before he thought about what he actually said. First night back in each other’s lives and he had realized he loved her and told her he was hers. Hopefully she didn’t take off running into the water scared he thought. “It’s a great place though Katt, rather big for little ol you though?” he said with a wink and a smirk as they made their way to the master bedroom.
Chris just had a grin on his face as he turned back to the kitchen shaking his head in laughter at what she said. “Yeah” he said still chuckling “its hard enough to keep my hands off you in public, put a bed – hell any soft surface” he said eyeing the couch in the next room “in the equation and we would forget all about dinner.” As if on cue, the door bell rang and Chris, without a second thought, went to the door like it was his home, and took the food handing the guy some cash before shutting the door with a thank you.
“It smells great” he said his stomach rumbling agreeing. As he took the food into the kitchen he turned to Katt not familiar with the layout of all the platewear. “Err…Sorry I just kinda took over didn’t I?” he asked his cheeks tingeing with a bit of pink. It just felt so perfect to be here with her. “Would you like to take over now?” he asked stepping away from the food, giving her an open space where he could slide in behind her and kiss on her neck.
Katt Marshall - March 29, 2008 04:44 AM (GMT)
Katt smiled as she looked at Chris, wondering if he had even realized just what he had said. Rather than think too much about it, like she usually would have done, she replied and left it at that. "Well, what's the point of being a girfriend if you don't exploit said boyfriend when the opportunity presents itself?" Katt's heart thumped loudly in her chest as she looked Chris in the eyes, stopping to lean against the wall in the hallway. "Little ol' me? Well, anything you propose to help with that?" Katt smirked right back at Chris, watching as he gestured towards the bedroom, and then the couch.
She would have replied, but the doorbell rang and Chris seemed to move on autopilot, answering the door, paying for the food, and taking it to the kitchen. He caught up with himself about that time, remembering that he had no clue where the plates were. It was too damn cute the way his face blushed, fumbling a bit with his words as he looked at her sheepishly. "It's ok, doll. I'll handle it from here."
Grinning, Katt slid between Chris and the counter, setting herself in front of the food. Pulling down two plate from the cabinet, and a few sets of silverware from the drawer by the sink, Katt took Chris' hand and led the way over to the small table nestled in the corner of the kitchen. She set down the plates and went back for the food, grinning as she sat it down on the table. "There, now we can eat."
Christopher Henley - March 30, 2008 03:57 AM (GMT)
Chris covered his nervousness with a laugh as he sighed inside at her words. Good, they were on the same page. “Oh I can think of a lot of things to do, but I will keep you guessing at what they are” he added with a wink. Chris moved automatically and it didn’t even register what he was dong until he reached for a cabinet that this wasn’t his house. Holding the blush back to where his cheeks were merely pink instead of fiery red, he stepped aside to let Katt into her own kitchen.
As soon as she stepped in close to the food, he pressed his body against her back, moving her hair to expose the small expanse of her neck. Gently placing a kiss along her collar bone, he wrapped his arms around her waist bending slightly at his knees to make sure she was in his arms completely. He continued nibbling at her neck, careful not to make any visible marks – no he liked making those in places she could only see. “Oh already?” he whined seeing she was ready to bring the food to the table.
Chris nodded and took his seat opposite her staring at the plate of delicious food. “Mmm, I am famished” he said digging in to his plate of food. He kept glancing over the table and just smiling at the sight of Katt. She is amazing he thought. “Your place is great Katt. I am happy to see you in a good place.” Truly he was happy, but then his offer to have her stay with him wasn’t so needed anymore, but he was sure they would be spending plenty of time with each other at either home. He found himself not able to say much else, just happy to be sharing the same room with her was enough.
Katt Marshall - March 30, 2008 04:54 AM (GMT)
Katt did her best to keep her mind on the task at hand, getting the food to the table, but that was proving difficult with each light kiss Chris placed upon her neck. She growled lightly, leaning back a bit against him. The sound of Chris' whine as the food was ready brough a bigger smile to her face, laughing softly as she led the way to the table. "Yes, already," she said, nudging him with her hip as she sat down.
Heaping her food on her plate, Katt took a few bites, watching Chris as he damn near inhaled his own food. His eyes moved to his plate, and then back to her, smiling wide each time his eyes met hers. Katt couldn't help but watch him as he smiled at her, seemingly happy just to be right where he was. Not that she could say anything, that's exactly the same thought she was having. It was strange though, having things happen like this for her.
Taking another bite of food, Katt sat back in her seat. "I'm happy too. It beats crashing on couches, I can tell you that. My boss told me about this place. Some friend of his is a realtor and was trying to get him to buy it. You know, keep renting it out and make some extra cash. Figured I could use it a whole hell of a lot more than he could. I only moved in about a week ago. With all the tatt's coming in, and customers asking for me, getting this place was a cinch." Still smiling, Katt snagged another bite of chicken before grabbing a rangoon and popping it into her mouth.
Christopher Henley - March 30, 2008 08:12 PM (GMT)
"I am glad you got it. The house suits you" Chris said looking around once again. "And you can't beat the view" he said looking at Katt, but in the same direction as the sliding glass door which gave a generous view of the beach. He nodded at the fact she was doing very well at the shop. "So I guess you have a line of people waiting to have your hands on them?" he winked at her.
As he finished up what he had on his plate he let out a content sigh. "A wonderful meal, a beautiful woman all to myself, and a empty house save the two of us. What more can a man ask for?" Chris took his plate and started to clean it in the sink before drying it and putting it back where Katt had grabbed it. He took a peak into the fridge and grabbed a beer. He peaked his head over to the table "Want something to wash down the food?"
Bringing Katt her requested beverage, he took his seat and stared off at the waves crashing against the beach. Don't move too fast he thought you don't wanna screw this one up. The biggest hurdle in his romantic life was telling the women he was with he was a wolf, well with Katt he didn't have that hurdle to jump and it was more of a relief to share something so close to him with Katt, he had never had that before. Chris had a small smile on his face. "So after dinner...is there a continuation of the tour. I believe I may have to get my money back if its incomplete" he laughed.
Katt Marshall - March 30, 2008 10:52 PM (GMT)
Taking another bite of food, Katt's eyes looked around her house. Her house. It was still so wierd to say that, but damn it felt good. Her eyes went back to Chris, smiling at his next comment. "Well, can you blame them? I mean, with hands like these, attached to a body like this?" Katt said with a laugh, her tone teasing as she winked back at Chris. "I don't know. I guess it helped that the first tatt I worked on was a huge back piece for a body builder down on South Beach. With a guy like that who usually walks around with no shirt on, it's like having my name on a billboard."
Dumping her leftovers back in the container, Katt grinned as Chris sat back in his chair, letting out a sigh. "Hmm, well, a man could ask for said woman to be naked.." she said, her voice trailing off with a grin as she stood from the table. Nudging Chris with her hip as she stood, Katt brought the leftovers to the fridge and leaned against the counter as Chris cleaned his plate. Such the gentleman.
Still smiling as Chris left the sink, Katt took his place, cleaning her plate and setting it in the drainer to dry. "A beer would be great," she called over her shoulder as she moved back to the table. Taking the beer from Chris hand, Katt lifted her legs, propping htem on the chair across from her as she looked through the sliding glass doors to the beach, her own private beach. Chris' voice broke her from her from her thoughts. She laughed, looking at him and shaking her head. "Well, I suppose I could continue the tour, but even if I don't you're not getting any money back. The tour was free anyway," she said her voice teasing.
Christopher Henley - March 31, 2008 10:42 PM (GMT)
Chris definitely couldn't blame them for wanting her to work on them. "Well if I had a choice of who was working on me, I would want a beautiful woman to distract me as she jabbed me with needles." He had a small surge of jealousy, but it wasn't at various men or women lifting there shirts and getting tattoos in unmentionable places that had him jealous, it was the time they got to spend with her during those couple weeks that he didnt. He squashed it down quickly and smiled at her. "Walking billboards are great advertising" he nodded.
The images those few words brought to mind were enough to make a whore blush he thought as a smiled spread across his mouth at the thought of Katt naked. "I didn't know that was an option" he laughed slapping her ass as she walked away from the nudge. "Or I would have made that a part of my description" he said eyebrows waggling with a smile.
Chris laughed "Oh will it be so hard to continue the tour, it sounds like it may be too strenuous on you" he joked. Chris walked over and pulled her from the counter and into his arms placing a kiss gently on her lips. "But I would love to see where you lay your head" he said pulling her into a hug.
Katt Marshall - April 3, 2008 03:00 AM (GMT)
"Well, you do have a choice of who would work on you. I keep telling you to get your ass down to the shop. Besides, I don't jab with needles. The tattoo gun does that, I just point it in the right direction." Leaning against the counter, Katt grinned at Chris. From the beginning, talking to him had just come so easy. So had everything else for that matter. This just kind of fit when she was around him, something that might scare the shit out of her if she thought about it too much.
Chuckling as Chris spoke and made his way over to her, Katt let herself be pulled away from the counter. Snaking her arms around his waist, she smiled against his lips as he laid a soft kiss on her. His arms pulled her closer, hugging her to his chest. Letting out a soft laugh, Katt let her head fall down on Chris' shoulder. "Are you sure you just want to see where I sleep, or test out my mattress' tensile strength?"
Christopher Henley - April 3, 2008 09:14 PM (GMT)
"Oh and you think the gun makes it better? I would rather your hands on me than the gun. Plus you could take advantage of me while in the fragile state" he joked practically grinning from ear to ear. "I am going to get one soon, I think I found the perfect wolf to put right here" Chris said pointing to his side. That brought the sight of Katt in all her glory and tattoos to his mind and he had to push them away in order to concentrate.
As Chris held her in his arms, he realized how right it felt and a soft smile replaced the grin from earlier. He began rocking sideways still holding onto Katt like she would up and disappear if he wasn't touching her. "Oh trying out your mattress sounds like it could be some fun..." he said his eyes wandering down the hallway. Temptation won out and he took her hand and began walking down the hallway, Katt in tow. Standing outside the bedroom door he turned back to her, "The room of temptation huh?" he asked glancing between her and the door.
Honestly, if he wanted to, and between lower regions beginning to take over part of his brain function and his wolf suddenly becoming a bobble head when the word sex came to mind, he wanted to take her in the kitchen, and the dining room, and the patio, and...well anywhere. Luckily he had a bit of self control and waited for Katt to tell him in all the right ways she was as eager as he, of course they had been doing that all night, but the game of cat- er dog? - and mouse just is so much fun. "Up to you gorgeous" he said resting a shoulder on the hallway wall staring into those glorious brown eyes.
Katt Marshall - April 5, 2008 02:10 AM (GMT)
“Oh, I don’t think I would ever have to take advantage of you. You can’t really take advantage of a willing participant.” Katt’s eyes followed to where Chris pointed to his side, pointing out where he wanted his tattoo. “Oh yeah, the wolf. The one you wanted on your chest. Kind of like this one, right?” Katt grinned wickedly, lifting her tanktop up to show the side of her chest where her own wolf tattoo was. Still grinning, Katt wriggled a bit in Chris’ arms, waggling her eyes at him as she let her tanktop fall back down.
Her grin left her, becoming a smile, as Chris smiled sweetly down at her, rocking them from side to side. She laughed as his eyes moved to look down the hall, laughing harder as he moved and tugged her towards the door. “Room of temptation. Den of iniquities. Same difference, right?” Katt grinned as Chris stopped, leaning against the wall just before her bedroom door.
“Up to me, eh? Well, then my vote is to maybe go play a rousing game of chess. Or maybe we could take up crocheting,” she said, putting a finger to her lip, feigning deep thought as she leaned against him. Her hand went to the doorknob behind Chris, turning it and pushing the door open. Grinning, she looked into his eyes. Damn she had missed him.
Christopher Henley - April 9, 2008 05:35 PM (GMT)
"You have a great point, but how do you know I would be willing, I have nothing but pure unlustful thoughts about you" he laughed not able to keep a straight face at all through the sentence. His eyes went to her side, watching as inch by inch skin was revealed as the fabric lifted. The heat that radiated from him jumped up a notch from usual lycanthrope to turned on male. The heat stayed as her shirt went down, he tried not to be a 'typical guy', but Katt had such an effect on him, it all went out the window and he wanted to take her on the counter right behind her.
Swallowing hard so he could speak without sounding like a horny teenager, he smiled "Yeah we could have matching tattoos" he chuckled a bit. "I might move it to my back actually that way it could be as big as I want" he said slipping out of her arms and lifting his shirt and then turning around to show the expanse of his back. Two could play at this game. "See? A little more canvas."
Chris followed Katt chuckling at her descriptions of the room. "Oh crocheting! That sounds delightful, I could knit a pair of socks. But chess sounds like a great mental exercise" he said tone even. Yes sex was on his mind and hers, but if thats what she really wanted he would be happy sitting in a room having a staring contest. He couldn't help the smile that grew on his face as she opened the door. His eyes swept the room consciously not letting them settle on the bed, instead taking in the room as a whole. "Nice" he said just standing there not quite sure what to do next.
