On Becoming Eve

"As long as we understand each other, and please be careful with my Sarah," he turned and walked toward an opening in the wall that led directly to his room.

I looked at how beautiful she was, sleeping quietly where I had left her and something strange and powerful awoke inside me, "Victor," he stopped and looked back at me, "whatever it takes, I will help you keep her safe."

"Thank you, I will see you at breakfast," he closed the hidden door behind him, leaving me to my thoughts. I went to the bathroom before I climbed back into bed with Sarah, pulling her close, inhaling deeply, filling my head with as much of her scent as I could and thinking about what Victor had said and what I would be willing to do to keep my new lover safe.

Saturday morning found me in good spirits and alone in the huge bed, I could smell Sarah and could hear her in the bathroom. I smiled as I snuck in behind her somewhat disappointed that she was already dressed. I had been looking forward to seeing her beautiful body again. She saw me in the mirror before I had a chance to surprise her and beamed a huge smile at me, "You are so beautiful. How are you feeling this morning? I must admit, I'm a little sore. Last night was wonderful. Thank you so much. I needed that so badly." She was prattling, I had to kiss her to get her to stop talking. We both laughed, "now, sit down and I'll help you with your makeup," she offered.

There was an energy in Sarah that had not been there when I met her, "last night had been a good thing," I thought to myself as I smiled broadly and took a seat.

She correctly inferred that makeup was not my thing and made me do all the work and guided me with suggestions and tips, letting me know when I was too heavy here, or needed a little more of this or that there. We I was done, my makeup was very tastefully done, my eyeliner extended a little beyond the edge of my eye, not as dramatic as what Sarah had done last night, but enough to give my eyes a subtle cat-like appearance, I had opted for a soft pink lipstick. I admired my work while Sarah brushed out my hair and pulled it into a simple ponytail with a long pink ribbon, I could get used to this very quickly. I smiled at her in the mirror and she kissed my cheek.

There were more clothes than I remembered in my closet and it occurred to me that Sarah had already had a busy morning and had somewhat moved in. While the thought made me happy, I wondered how long it would last, especially considering what was coming and what Victor was going to expect from me in order to make his point with his associates. I dressed quickly, choosing simple this time, a pair of shorts and sandals, with a light top with subtle pink flowers that matched the bow Sarah had put in my hair. Sarah had chosen much the same but in colors that fit her complexion.

We found Victor on the veranda drinking a cup of coffee and reading something on his tablet computer. Sarah ran up to him and hugged his neck, kissing him on the cheek as she had me earlier. A wide smile filled his face, "So, I guess last night was a good night for you two," he looked at me and winked. I just smiled and nodded.

"Thank you for letting that happen uncle Victor. I know you don't agree with some of what I do, but...," she didn't finish her sentence as a sadness crossed her face. She sat down next to him and stole a sip of his coffee," this was the first time since Gabby."

I sat next to Sarah and put my hand on her thigh, stroking gently, as Hubert walked up asking Victor for permission to serve breakfast. Victor acknowledged his request and he hurried inside to bring out the food. It hit me how hungry I was. Last night with Sarah had taken quite a bit of energy out of me. Hubert returned with a cart full of fresh fruits, setting it on the small buffet table by the door. I looked at Victor, he held up a hand as if to say, "Just wait."

Sarah was already helping herself to the fresh melons, grapes and oranges, the sadness slowly lifting from her demeanor. Hubert returned with his cart prepared to make omelets, he smiled at me and set a small plate of sausages in front of me. Victor smiled as he gave Hubert instructions for his omelet. I added some fresh fruit to my plate, opted for a ham and cheese omelet with mushrooms and allowed Hubert to pour me a cup of coffee and a large glass of fresh orange juice. The smell of the meat filled my nose and I had to consciously remind myself to use the knife and fork by my plate.

"I talked with Sarah this morning," Victor began, "and while I have no problem with your liaison, you must both agree to keep it discreet, especially while my associates ore here, "he looked at both of us, "Also, there is an implied responsibility between Eve and myself that will need to be met if we are going to make the statement that needs to be made," Victor looked at me," Eve, you will move into my room tonight and Sarah will stay in yours. When the opportunity presents, you may join her, but you must appear to be more than my mistress. Do you understand what that means?"

I knew exactly what it meant; I could smell it.

Sarah had a somber look on her face as she nodded her agreement.

I looked at Sarah," It's OK, I understand," she said softly.

Victor continued," My associates may be planning to try and use Sarah against me, and I need them to have a more attractive target. If they know about the two of you, I will lose that advantage, and we will all be at risk until the issue between us is resolved. I need you to keep the promise you made to me," Victor was a very calculating man but the concern in his voice outweighed everything he had said.

"I understand," I looked at him and then at Sarah. The gravity of what was about to happen was settling in on all of us. Victor took a bite of his omelet, Sarah started to cry and ran form the table, I grabbed a handful of sausage and took a huge bite as the big cat in my head roared; we were going hunting.

When I had eaten all I could, I wiped my hands and apologized to Victor," I am sorry Victor, it appears part of me gets very excited at the possibility of a hunt. I'll make sure I don't behave like that while our guests are here," He nodded," now if you will excuse, I would like to go and make sure Sarah is all right."

"Thank you," he said softly.

I put my hands on his cheeks and kissed him sweetly as I got up to leave the table. He kissed me back," this is going to be interesting," I said to myself.

Sarah was in our room sitting in the chaise lounge looking out the window when I found her. I sat down next to her," Sarah, are you alright," I put my hand on her thigh?

"Yes," she said, "I sometimes forget how dangerous the world I live in can be. Last night, I found a piece of heaven with you and this morning, hell ripped it from my grasp," she started to cry again," It's just so unfair and I'm afraid you're going to get hurt. I've been a part of this my whole life. I've seen things and even done things," she shuddered and I wrapped her in my arms, "I deserve whatever I get, but you, you don't belong here, you shouldn't have to deal with our problems," Sarah laid her head on my shoulder and hugged me tightly. It never occurred to me she would be worried about me. Last night had had a larger impact than I had imagined. I held her tightly and let her cry.

"Your uncle didn't tell you what I did to Hank, did he," I asked quietly when Sarah had stopped sobbing?

"No," she looked at my face.

"First, let's fix your face," I led her to the bathroom," then I want to prove to you that you have nothing to worry about, ok?" She washed her face and we went downstairs.

I told Victor what I wanted to do, and he assigned two men to go with us. We took the top off my Jeep and drove out into the desert until I told the driver to stop. I stripped, stretched and extended my claws as I headed off into the sand, filling my senses with the wilderness around me, I could feel the canines in my mouth growing to their full length. The guards and Sarah followed me at a short distance. I found the pack of coyotes attacking a mule deer, leaping into the fray, I killed six of the coyotes before the rest ran off into the desert. The mule deer was seriously injured but was still alive, I forced myself to throw up my breakfast and bit into its neck, crushing its windpipe and severing it jugular, tightening my jaw until I knew its life was spent. I ate my fill of the fresh kill, "You are stronger than I expected. Your affection for the girl serves you well," the big cats voice was in my head.

The guards looked nervously at each other. Sarah had seen human savagery, and I knew, in some ways, it could be far worse than what I presented to her; The vibrant, full of life girl I had woken up to this morning had given way to the dispassionate woman I had met yesterday afternoon, and she understood exactly what I was trying to express. We left my kill and drove back to Victors house.

I found Sarah in the sunroom after I had cleaned myself up and gotten dressed, "you did a good job on your makeup," she smiled at me.

"Thank you," I sat down next to her and put my hand on hers.

"Does it hurt," she asked, lifting my hand and turning it slowly" when they come out, I mean," she looked at me and tried to smile.

"Not really," I tried to make a joke," It kinda screws up my manicure but that's about it," I saw her try not to laugh.

"And are you in control, I mean do you know what you are doing when you get like that," it was a mix of true concern and curiosity.

"There's only me in here," I laughed a little, and lied a little" I mean a lot of it is instinct or something, but, yes, I knew exactly what I was doing yesterday when I killed Hank, and I'd do it again in a heartbeat. He was an evil man," I squeezed her hand."

"You should know about Gabby, she was my roommate in college," she paused," we were very close, like you and I are becoming, perhaps too quickly, I think," she took a deep breath," when the men that killed my parents came to get me at school, she tried to protect me, and, I could see the sadness in her face," they killed her while I watched. Victor saved me but was too late to help Gabby. It has been eight years and you are the only one," she didn't need to finish the thought. We just looked at each other.

" You should know Victor was in our room last night," I told her softly," I promised him I would do anything to help keep you safe," I brushed the fingers of my free hand against her cheek, "I want you to understand he is not making me do this. I believe you about him being a good man underneath it all. I am doing this because I care about you," I hugged her tightly before she could kiss me, "For now I need to be with Victor; until this is over," I kissed her on the forehead and left the room before I couldn't.

I took the long way downstairs to find Victor, clearing my head, trying to put my growing feelings for Sarah in perspective so I could do what I knew I needed to do. She was right, we were getting too close, too fast and I didn't care. I found him in his office. His cleaning company had done an amazing job of removing any evidence of Hank. One of the guards had videoed my hunt and he was watching the stream intently on his computer. I could smell its effect on him as I entered the room. I walked up behind him and wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed his cheek.

"You play the part very well," he turned his face to mine and kissed me, "I like that," leaving it open to my interpretation whether he was referring to my performance or the kiss. I decided that either was ok.

"I do many things well," I answered, as I looked at his computer, finding myself a little afraid of the viciousness and savagery I saw on the screen. The figure in the center was surrounded by a dozen coyotes and was throwing them around like toys. They would nip and bite at her and her claws would rip through their flesh, her vicious bite tearing huge chunks from their bodies, one after another they fell until what remained of the pack ran off. Some of those that got away would not live long. I was worried that the pack would not survive what I had done, but knew that protecting Sarah was more important, it was to me now anyway.

"Perhaps we should go upstairs, and you could show me what else you can do well," he smiled," It will do us good to get into character, don't you think," the scent of his arousal was overwhelming and I knew it was driving his request?

"I think I would like that, Victor, I really do," I had mated with the big cat after each of my big hunts and found that I was very much in need of male attention.

"What you did today," he shut down the computer and stood up," was impressive. Do you think Sarah understands," he took my arm in his and led me from the room?

"I believe so. It hurt to see the joy she had this morning taken from her like that, but it was necessary, and I think I can help her find it again when this is all over."

"I am glad you are here for her," he stopped outside the doors to his room," things will change forever, you understand that," He was giving me one more chance to walk away?

I thought of the money in my room and what I could do with it. I thought of what I was getting ready to do, not just with Victor, but for him. No, for Sarah," I know," I pushed the door open and followed Victor into his room.

It was the mirror image of mine. The writing desk and chaise had been replaced with a large table that served as Victors second desk and the décor was leather and wood, much more masculine, the style fit Victor perfectly.

I slipped off my sandals just inside the door, next to Victors shoes and left a trail of clothes to the bed as I followed Victor. When he turned around and found me naked, he smiled approvingly. I reached up and started unbuttoning his shirt, when I was done, I pushed it back off his shoulders and gasped at the body underneath. If possible, Victor was more fit that me, his stomach was rock hard and his abs incredibly well defined, a scar ran from his navel to the left side of his abdomen. His chest and shoulders were just as impressive as his abs and were accented by three round scars that appeared to be bullet holes. I licked my lips as I traced each of the scars with my fingers.

Slowly moving my hands to his waist, I unbuckle his belt and unzipped his pants. Sliding my hands around his waist, I forced his pants to drop to the ground. He stepped out. His boxers were simple white and were failing miserably to hide a very large bulge. I dropped to my knees and slowly pulled them down, his erection was as imposing as he had been when I first met him. I licked his balls and then his cock it from base to tip with my tongue and gently kissed its head. I thought about how he would feel in my mouth but decided that was not a good idea as my hunger heightened and I felt my canines start to grow. I flashed him my teeth "I think not," he laughed. I ran my hands up his thighs and onto his stomach, he grabbed my wrists and pulled me to my feet, gawd, he was strong.

Victor picked me up and laid me on the bed," I am sorry we do not have much time. I will do what I can to make this as pleasurable for you as it will be for me," He climbed on next to me and began kissing me deeply. I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him back. Where it had been gentle and sensuous with Sarah, it was raw and primal with Victor. I imagined it to be what it would have been like if the big cat had been able to kiss me. I breathed deeply, taking in Victor's scent and noticing how it mixed with my own, I began to moan.

Victor slid his hand between my legs and began massaging gently as his lips explored my neck and breasts. I opened my legs for him and arched my back to give him better access to my breasts and aching crotch. I could hear the helicopter in the distance and knew our time was almost gone, Victor slid between my legs and thrust himself inside me. He fucked me hard and fast. He was so much bigger than the others. I moaned loudly as he pumped in and out of me. I started to masturbate to his rhythm and could feel my orgasm growing as the thrust deep inside me, his body shuddering as he filled me with his cum. I held him inside me for a few moments longer, frantically rubbing my clit, and joined him as small shudders of pleasure rippled through my body.

I lay there quietly pondering the close relationship between passion and violence that was evolving in my new world, smiling at the idea as Victor went to the bathroom to clean himself; his back was covered with scars, and I watched intently as he quickly got dressed, wondering what had happened to his back, "meet us on the back patio below the veranda when you are presentable," he laid something on the bed, kissed me softly and walked out the door to meet his associates.

I picked up the box opened it, admiring the necklace and fastened it around my neck, it was a simple gold chain with a small diamond cross, very understated and very expensive. I thought for a few minutes about the ring, a simple diamond solitaire with a huge stone, before sliding it on my left ring finger. Using the hidden door, I entered my room and found Sarah asleep in our bed, I kissed her on the forehead and pulled the covers up around her shoulders, deciding to let her finish her nap.

I refreshed my makeup and chose some tan linen slacks and a lightweight blouse with a very lacey pushup bra that would subtly show through and gave my breasts a slight boost, making them even more evident through the lightweight top. I let my hair down and brushed it out, slipped on the four-inch heels that matched the thin belt around my slender waist. Hoping to make an impression as much as I wanted to be a distraction, I quietly left Sarah to her nap, and went to join Victor.

I slipped up next to him and slid my arm in his, making sure he could see the ring, just as the six men from the helicopter walked up the stairs to where he was standing," Ah, Eve, my dear. Just in time to welcome our guests," he smiled at me approvingly.

I inhaled deeply, finding Victors powerful aroma and remnants of how it had blended with mine just a few minutes before. There was one other that stood out and it was not from where I expected, the little man that lead the group up the stairs shared the same putrid odor that Hank had had, as did the men that followed him, all except one; the tall slender one toward the back smelled of death itself. The cat roared in my head and the hair on the back of my neck bristled.

The little man stretched out his Hand," Ah, Victor, always courting the most beautiful women," he smiled at me as he shook Victor's hand.

I returned his smile, "This is Eve, she is the mistress of the house, please treat her with the same respect you would me, he looked Domingo in the eye and scanned the others for acknowledgement, "Eve, this is Senior Antonio Domingo and his associates," he looked at me and motioned to the little man.

"It is a pleasure to meet you Senior Domingo. Welcome to our home," I offered him my left hand and curtsied as he kissed my ring. The other men didn't warrant an introduction any more than one of Victor's guards would have had the situation been reversed. The tall thin man that smelled of death stared at Victor and then at me. It was all I could do to keep my claws from pushing from my fingers and attacking him right there.

Victor gestured for Senior Domingo to join us, I took Victor's arm as we headed up the path back to the house and listened intently to the whispers behind me, trying to remember my Spanish. Mostly the men were commenting on my ass and what they would like to do to me if Victor was out of the picture, I added a little more sway to my walk and one of them tripped on the stairs. I kissed Victor on the cheek and heard him chuckle to himself. He was fully aware of everything that was going on around him.
