Chapter 21 - In The Wolf's Den -Projekt Red Route

Chapter 21 - In The Wolf's Den -Projekt Red Route

Three days later after my duel with Lappland I was enjoying my solitude. It was a late evening atop the Rhodes Island landship. As I stood there feeling the crisp cooling air on my face and watching the landscape that was bathed in a bright orange glow, I heard footsteps coming slow behind me. I didn't turn. And I couldn't have guessed who it could have been if it weren't for the aura that his particular lupo had.

-''Hello Red.'' I said before turning around with a slight smile on my face.

She approached me and I could feel that aura which sent other lupos in frenzy. It seemed more potent than ever now, and I felt a pang of worry. She didn't seem any more serious than before, yet I was feeling something. I was feeling an intensity in her.

-''Had a long day?'' I asked simply and to the point. Calm, though it felt like she was approaching to deliver a sentence long coming.

She was looking me in the eyes, and I wasn't sure what to expect. She could hide her feelings as expertly as myself. All I could feel was a powerful intent. Other people or lupos would have probably jumped off the landship in my place right now.

-''Yes, it was.'' She said simply.

And she seamed to mellow a bit, as if trying to get over a struggle inside of her. She came by my side and looked outwards to see what I was seeing.

-It's a nice view from here, especially when there is no one around.

-Do you want Red to leave?

-No, I'd like you to stay with me, and enjoy this sight alone together.

-Tacet...

She trailed off, turning towards me. Her face and yellow eyes now radiating golden from the sun.

-How close do you want Red be to be with you?

I felt this was different. I now had realised her intent, her approach. She wanted to see, she wanted to know where it would lead... if it could lead somewhere with me.

-I'd like you to be by my side every day, Red.

I said with a voice filled with determination. Gazing intently into her eyes so that my intention couldn't be mistaken. Yet a shadow still lingered in her, I could see. She was unaccustomed to relating with others.

-Are you sure you would want that? After all, Red almost...

-''I want you Red.'' I said, cutting her off.

She looked back at me, her uncertainty now fully dispelled as I spoke those words. My arms were reaching towards her and this in turn emboldened her to do as well. My heart was picking up. We embraced tightly onto one another, our arms slipping and grappling around as we pulled. Both hungry to feel each other's blissful affection. We squeezed dangerously tight and still it was wonderful. Wonderful to feel this lupa upon me by her own will. To feel her warmth. I loved her. The sun was bathing us, wrapping us in its warm glow as if approving of this bonding. As if the celestial star itself decreed this was destiny being fulfilled. I gripped and pulled her up as I was taller than her. She gasped lightly at first, but she seamed to enjoy it. As I put her down on her feet again my right hand slipped on her soft cheek caressing it. She then gazed at me with a simple but warm smile that spoke volumes. She gripped my hand before she spoke again.

-Tacet, please come with me.

I nodded, following by her side. I was unsure what she had in mind this time, but I let myself led by her, our hands clasped together all the way. I cherished even this small gesture with her while we walked. Uncaring if anyone saw or would see us. She was the lupa I loved, and I would not let go of her. But as we walked I realised I wasn't content with just this. I was getting greedy and I knew it. And suddenly I had swept Projekt Red off her feet and up my arms! Eliciting even a surprised yelp out of her. Even the assassin didn't expect this.

-''Tacet!'' She said taken aback and looking at me.

-''Guide me on your path, my lupa.'' I said with a smile and a wink.

I could read her body language and I could tell she didn't reject this. On the contrary, it seemed she enjoyed the comfort and novelty of being carried close as much as it may have embarrassed her on the inside. She didn't seem content to let it be only one-sided, and soon she held her dangerous hands sweetly on my shoulders for support. Making this as mutual as it could have been. Her smile reappearing even more lively on her ever so strict visage.

I realised it must have been a very twisted sense of poetry what was happening now. Carrying my bane, my killer like that of a lover. And I wouldn't have wanted it any other way. We stopped at a door and Red swiped her keycard on the lock reader. The door granted access, and she looked at me before I passed threshold inside with her still up in my arms. As if she was unsure if I would have dared to enter her dark den, yet, I did with no hesitation. Inside I took in her scent with which the room was bathed in. I landed her gently on her feet, releasing my deadly lupo. It was already getting dark and Red switched on the lights.

She turned around, and she faced me more serious than she was before.

-You seem restless Red. Is there something bothering you?

-People might have seen that.

-I don't mind, do you?

-No... Tacet, why are you so nice to me?

It was such a simple question, yet I there was no uncomplicated answer to it. There was too much behind both the question and the answer. And she started to approach me with her hood off her head. I could see her golden eyes almost glowing in the light along with less of her usual deadly demeanour. I realised that I could barely sense any danger coming from her aura now.

-Red is not stupid, you look at me unlike any other.

-And I can smell you, I can sense no fear.

-You are eager to feel Red though you know the danger.

She now came in front of me.

-What were you going to do to me in the sparring room?

-''Something unwise.'' I answered

-Tacet, I want you to do what you would have done then.

-''You can touch Red if you want.'' She said as she looked at me with expectant eyes that I have never seen before.

I understood now. She felt something for me as well, and this deadly lupo was willing to let her guard down for it. I myself felt already at the precipice so close to her and in this intimacy. My heart was aching to have this wolf girl in my arms again. I grabbed her gently by the hips and pulled her close in my embrace. She watched intently, curious, vulnerable, but closed her eyes as I leaned nearer and kissed her lips. We shared a simple kiss, and then we shared another, longer one. She opened her eyes and seemed more lovely than ever as her serious mask seemed to have melted away. We remained in each other's arms.

-Do you like Red, Tacet?

-''I love you Red.'' I confessed.

-Why Tacet?!

-I revealed to them that you were a killer.

-I almost killed you... no, I had killed you. You just refused to die...

Two tears, one after another on different cheeks suddenly flowed down on her.

-Yet you still trust me. Trusted me to bring me to your den, trusted me to come here.

-You stopped me from marching in that snowy death. And you risked your life to bring me back from that avalanche.

-You are nice to me, not afraid.

-They all avoid me except you, Kal'tsit and Doctor.

-So why...

I wiped her cheeks tenderly.

-I felt for you the first moment I saw you clearly, the moment we clashed steel.

-And I have come to trust you as only lone wolves do.

-I love you Red. I want you to be my lupa.

She looked shocked if that was possible, she stared at me and her expression softened.

-I think Red loves you too Tacet.

-''Please, stay with me.'' She said looking at me with wet, pleading eyes.

I grasped her cheeks and wiped them lovingly again. We nuzzled onto one another, pouring our heart's into it. Basking into each's other's warm presence wholeheartedly. It couldn't have felt more blissful as we shared this intimate moment. We shared a gaze, her yellow eyes were normally sharp as that of a cold and calculated killer, yet now they had a rare softness in them that I have never seen before. And I could see her losing herself in my own blue eyes that have seen so much horror and uncaring death.

But I could tell she read my attraction and love to her like an open book. Even if she was a lupo, or perhaps, especially because she was a one. Having beaten my trauma I now loved her for all she was, and she knew. Our lips joined again, clasping together into a kiss. I could feel the language of her body speaking now. She wanted it, she wanted me and her body wouldn't lie anymore. We started touching each other more as we kissed. Exploring, feeling each other's bodies. I stroked hear ears and her tail. I felt her curves beneath her jacket and around her pants. She gasped as I touched a sensitive spot.

I took Red up in my arms without resistance. I sat on the edge of her own bed and planted her on my lap. She looked at me blushingly, expectant of what I would do to her. She had such a delectable expression I thought. I let her jacket fall loose on the floor and started touching her more intimately. She wouldn't refuse anything. She accepted it as she started to give little gasps and low moans of pleasure. Her breasts were wonderful to squeeze and caress. I could feel the heat of her legs radiating through her pants, and I slipped one of my palms under her trousers. Reaching down below her boxers and coming to her most sensitive part. She gasped and twitched as I touched it.

-''Tacet.'' She said my name quivering.

But I wouldn't stop. I had reached her honeypot and I continued to play with it, caressing her folds up and down. Feeling the shivers reverberate in her body as she slowly became more and more wet down there. I started kissing her neck and she moaned lightly. A wolf like her would have probably never experienced the lightest sensation of touching or being touched by anyone in her life. She was truly touch starved I realised. It was why she was feeling so vulnerable giving in to someone and melting so easily to my intimate attentions. At this point her underwear was almost drenched in her love juice. I pulled my hand out and in sight of her I savoured it. It had a flavourful taste. My jacket and shirt flew off as well. She followed my lead and let lose her own long shirt revealing her bra. I helped her slip off of my lap and onto her bed. I came behind her, loosening the restraint of her pants. Gripping and slowly sweeping both it and her underwear off. Revealing the beautiful shape of her bottom and her legs. All this time she still reserved herself to looking behind her at me as I did. Still unsure, leaving me to set the pace. With a flick of my hand I clicked free her bra. As it fell she grasped her breasts with her left arm.

And there she was. The apex predator of Rhodes Island, bare and willing in her own den and on her own bed. In an alluringly inviting pose. Her body was beautifully shaped and feminine. Her features were sharper, leaner, less voluptuous than that of other lupos but no less beautiful. Her bottom was beautifully rounded, her breasts were symmetrical and just the right size as all her features were in good measure and bestowed with a feminine beauty that captivated me. I let loose the rest of my clothes and Red stared at my erection almost with unease. This was the closest I have ever seen her having a concerned look as she sized me up. Yet she wouldn't protest as I opened her legs and started to rub my erect cock against her most intimate spot. She was well beyond wet at this point, and she lubed my hard tip as I dipped it lightly between her folds. She continued to stare at me with worry but barely held anticipation. I could notice I was already leaking my own precum. Mixing it with her own intimate nectar. I reached into one of my pockets on my discarded pants and pulled a condom from my wallet.

-No.

-''Hmm?'' I asked.

-I want no obstacles. Not with you, not on my first time.

She said decidedly of the words she spoke. I left the condom though a part of my mind knew better, yet I craved to feel this lupo as I always wanted. I resumed what I stopped before, and I was dipping my erect manhood deeper and deeper. In response her gasps become louder, sharper.

-''I'm going in Red.'' I spoke to her gently.

She braced, closing her eyes. And I thought it was such a vulnerable and endearing expression as she tried to brave it. Her body was ready, her muscles expecting, her honeypot was wet. And as I slid my manhood slowly but surely inside her being I felt a hot, wet tightness that seamed to try to squeeze the life out of me. Red bellowed as she was trying to handle the pain as stoically as she could. I had only managed to come in two thirds of the way before I seamed to have hit a wall, yet I knew this wasn't the end. It was her first time, and she was involuntary squeezing with all the power her muscles could gauge. I pulled back slightly and then pushed again, eliciting another pained moan out of Red.

Slowly I moved back and forth. Bloodying Projekt Red for the first time as the seal of her maiden purity was now smeared on my erect manhood. She opened her eyes and she let loose a few tears from the pain, yet I continued to move slowly in and out. In due course her muscles began to relax, and I reached deeper inside of her.

-''Nnnnmmh~!'' She moaned heavily.

Her whimpers were delightful even though her pain wasn't something I enjoyed myself with. I caressed her cheek as I leaned closer. That put a reassuring expression on her face and I continued to move while she took it stoically.

-''Aawawaah!'' She whimpered.

She moaned painfully and differently as to announce me that I had reached the end of what she had to offer. My cock was now completely engulfed inside of her and I could notice the pained state that she tried to keep under control. I pulled back a bit and the pain was partially lifted from her expression. She could look at me again now, and I could see no regret in them. I resumed my rhythmic moves onto my lupa. Soon her pained gasps became more sweetly, more in the form of pleasured moans even if still mixed with pain.

I observed how her voice became more melodious with the pleasures she was discovering for the first time, her rare smile now infectious with joy. My movements have been gradually picking up pace. Becoming more rhythmic, more powerful. Her honeypot still ever so tightly around me, yet I endured and relished every moment of it! I clasped Red's hand as she moaned, and she grasped back in return. Forming a sweaty handhold between us. I felt myself rising fast near the edge. The danger that I realised I was putting Red in was absolutely intoxicating to my senses as a man! My precum must have mixed well inside her deepest spot, yet the grand finale would come that would see her marked forever as my own lupa. I could very well have left her pregnant from our first time and I felt nothing but relish at the thought! I loved this wolf girl, past be damned. And I desired her to be mine in body and spirit. I wanted to plant my seed in this beautiful and deadly creature and have her bear our children!

-''Tacet~!'' She moaned pleadingly.

My thrusts were now forceful and greedy, and she moaned worriedly as she felt something about to be unleashed. She didn't push me away, her grip on my palm as we handheld was as tight as ever as I came! I felt a rush released through my body as I let loose all that I had pent-up, and I heard her moan in her own sexual climax. Her face lush with red as she reached her own peak of ecstasy. She was panting for air as her body was ravaged with a rush of new feelings. She opened her eyes finally as I lowered my head on hers. Her eyes had a gentleness in them that I have never seen before. And I knew we both reached a special level of intimate bond.

I grasped her ears and caressed them as she looked happily at me. We stayed connected for some time, enjoying this passionate bond as if it were a vital link between our souls. I eventually rose and pulled out slowly. I felt as if my manhood was battered from the exercise it had with this lupo's inner muscles. Having failed to find any tissues I picked up and used my shirt to wipe Red's intimate parts and mine somewhat clean. But as I noticed the gaze my lupa had I knew it would be a long night yet. I had awakened something in her as well. She approached me on bed and stood on her knees, leaning onto my chest.

-''Tacet... I want more.'' She said with an intent smile.

I wouldn't deny her. The fire of my soul burned brightly for this lupo and I would indulge her. She laid as if instinctively in a fashionable position of her race. Presenting her rump upwards while she rested her chest onto the bed. She was wiggling her lovely grey tail and I caught it. Holding it with one hand I used the other to stroke downward until I reached the base of it and followed up her spine. She whimpered suddenly and excitedly, she looked back blushing heavily as I continued to elicit moans out of her beautiful voice. She was cute when teased like this I thought. I brought my hand slowly back the way it came but deviated from the base to her beautiful bottom instead. Groping it, feeling its shapes and softness. Squeezing to feel their wonderful elasticity. She was wiggling her bottom again. She was getting impatient I could tell.

-Patience Red. Let me feel you. We have the whole night to ourselves.

She seemed to reign in her impulses and I opened half her pussy with my right thumb. She was still wet, and I played with her pussy prompting a surprised moan out of her. I grabbed my still erect cock that was slowly regaining its full vitality and I started rubbing her intimate entrance. She groaned impatiently, yet she wouldn't defy me.

-''Please...'' She said almost beggingly.

Her plea was too touching to resist, and I indulged her. I rubbed her intimate spot a few times more before pushing my still hard manhood inside of my hungry grey wolf girl. This time it went in much more naturally. Her body was already more adjusted to my girth. She gave out a shameless moan of satisfaction as I entered and quickly reached the end of her womb. It was probably already filled near the brim with my fertile seed and the thought inflamed my passion.

Soon we were mating lustfully like two animals. Sharing sweat and saliva as she turned to me to briefly tongue kiss in the heat of passion. I was holding her hips as I ploughed her. But soon I leaned above her back with my hands besides her shoulders. Her moans were pure honesty into the indulgence of passion and pleasure. I felt the indomitable wall of my endurance crumbling as I was quickly reaching another climax.

-''I am going to come Red.'' I whispered aggressively into her fluffy ear.

-''Haaah~!'' A loud and passionate moan was all she could respond with.

She arched her body. Pushing her bottom as much as she could against me. As the moment came I gave the hardest thrust into Red's body, pinning my manhood against her womb for the second time and flooding her insides with white rivers of seeding life! She bit her pillow as she took everything in. As the last throb of my manhood came and went she let go of her bite to supplant the use of her mouth for audible gasps.

We remained like that for a few good minutes before retreating my solid snake from between her heavenly folds. Immediately followed by a heavy trickle of our love fluids. Thankfully I had foreseen such a thing and had put my shirt underneath her bottom to avoid staining her bed too much. But at this rate of soaking we would have to use her own shirt soon. I turned her around, and she was quick to reach into my embrace. I reached towards my lupa and I kissed her passionately. I snuggled my head into her furry ears and I spoke into them.

-I love you my lupa.

-''Tacet~.'' Red could only respond by saying my name with a voice charged with barely contained love before she continued.

-I love you, Tacet!

-''How about we take a shower?'' I proposed.

-Yes.

But as she tried to get on her feet they were unsteady and quickly leaned, or, rather fell onto me.

-''I... I can't walk straight...'' She said affected and embarrassed.

I took her up in my arms and went to her shower where we refreshed our bodies and minds. Contrary to our lust we seamed to be on the same idea to take some refreshments and rest for the night. We were later again on her bed, both unwinding closely onto one another. She was in her shirt and a pair of simple grey boxers, and she sat on my lap lovingly, her tail wagging with happy intent. She was looking at me more seriously but in a state of ease still.

-Tacet, my knives are yours from now on, so is this lupo.

-Is that why you used your knives on Lappland?

Her face suddenly became troubled. She was distressed at what I might retort now that her secret was found.

-She wounded you. She fought with her real swords intending to kill you.

-I could tell by your wounds, it... enraged me.

-But Red didn't use knives, only fists and legs.

-''And you brought her into a coma.'' I replied.

She was silent, avoiding my gaze and looking down while still on me.

-I couldn't stand the idea of them hurting you. I wanted to kill. To get rid of her... but Red didn't. Red thought of what you would do.

I rubbed her head and she looked back up into my eyes.

-I am proud of you Red, you grew as a person.

-''How?'' She asked.

-Her death wasn't necessary. You took the effort to think before you gave your sentence.

-When we first met you almost killed me without an order. But now you spared an opponent, one that was no danger to you or Rhodes Island.

She suddenly burst into a seeming panic as she pushed onto my chest.

-Red doesn't want you dead! I will never harm you again!

-Red loves you, Tacet!

She said desperately as she held onto me. Perhaps fearing I would leave. I embraced her tightly, waiting for her to calm her breaths while I caressed her head and brushed her cheek.

-I'll never leave you my Red. Whatever may happen I will always be yours.

I kissed her lips lovingly and she reciprocated.

-And my blades shall be yours.

-Everyone will think twice about ever harming you now that Red's marked you with her scent.

I have lived to see myself bonding with a beautiful creature that I haven't thought possible. With one of the deadliest that existed in this time. With the one that nearly took my life in cold blood. The blood of the beast kind that I battled so long and devastatingly in the past, that took the lives of the few I could call friends, of my family. That blood flowed through her veins as one of their descendants. Here, in the form of this majestic wolf girl that was clinging greedily and dominantly onto me. Where once she wanted my death now she desired me as her mate. And the one I wholeheartedly decided I wanted to have children with, even if they would be pups of her own race. I would raise them with her, as a family, and I would love them no less for what they would be.

And I felt strangely uplifted. Like a veil of darkness that I didn't know was there was suddenly dispelled. The apathy was gone. I felt as if her life force, her soul cleansed my troubled one and removed a terrible curse. My once death bringer now my saviour. I loved this wolf girl and I felt that I could never part with her, less I shatter my soul. Yet she was now here, willingly giving herself to me. Piercing me with a hungry gaze of desire to have me, to own me, to find comfort in me. I took great joy in sharing those same sentiments back with her. I caressed her fluffy ear and kissed the lips of my deadly lupa.
