##Warning sexual content###

Rachel went to her usual grocery store, she was in the middle of picking up things on her list when she

noticed that there was someone following her around. At first, she just thought it was another customer

except this person wasn‘t doing any shopping All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

She decided to move to the produce section it was more open, if he wanted to follow he was going to

have to out in the open.

As soon as she made it over to the apples she saw who it was, Mr. Archer was standing there in all his

yummy glory.

She dropped all pretense and went over to him, he had a sheepish look on his face. She laughed to

herself,

caught you red–handed, didn‘t I.

She stood before him as he scratched the back of his head, no doubt trying to think up an excuse as to

why he was here.

“Can I help you with something, Mr. Archer?”

“Cat got your tongue?” (2

When Solis heard her last question he started laughing and rolling around. It was distracting, to say the

least. On top of that, he couldn‘t think of one single good reason to give her that wasn‘t the truth.

She was cute, the way she was standing there looking at him, trying to give him a stern motherly look.

Looking into her eyes though made him stupid. He couldn‘t think straight.

She stared at him, she had an odd look in her eyes, part amusement and could it be arousal?

Finally with a push from Solis he was able to open his mouth.

“I am here to keep an eye on you, did you forget what happened last

night?

“You don‘t honestly think that it will be able to find me? I don‘t live near campus or right in town either.”

“Yes, Miss Rachel, I know where you live. It is a nice little place but I don‘t think a trailer is going to hold

up for long against that thing last night.”

As soon as he opened his mouth he knew he made a mistake. The look in her eyes went from curious

amusement to distrust and revulsion.

“Well, I don‘t think I would like you hanging around anymore, I can take

care of myself. If I see you lurking anymore I am going to call the cops. So please, just go.

With that, she turned around and headed for the cashier lanes.

He grabbed her arm and ushered her down an aisle. She wasn‘t happy she had a scream on her lips,

just as Archer covered her mouth with his hand.

“Be quiet and I will explain. We just can‘t do it here, there are too many people who might overhear our

conversation.”

It was then that she bit his hand again. He swore as she started to getaway. He reached out and held

her to him.

“Please don‘t, I promise I am not insane.”

.

She went still in his arms, she felt so right being there that he didn‘t want to let go.

“Fine, there is a small coffee shop across the street. If that isn‘t private enough it is too bad, I am not

going to be alone with you.”

He smiled to himself, alone with me yet. He didn‘t say that part out loud though. He went with her to the

cashier and waited while she bought the groceries. He helped her carry them to her car.

Rachel stood outside the coffee shop, she was debating whether she should go inside, if he was a nut

she didn‘t want to encourage him.

They sat down and ordered coffee and stared at each other.

“Well, Mr. Archer are you going to start explaining?

I am going to explain I just need a little bit to put my thoughts together, I know you are not going to like

what you are about to hear. Some of it will make you question my sanity even more.”

She smiled at him, he wasn‘t sure

how to take it.

“Don‘t worry Mr. Archer you don‘t have far to go to make me believe that your nuts.”

He smiled back, it was a predatory smile, and the smile widened when she leaned away from him.

“Trust me my little catnip, I can back up what I say.”

When their coffee‘s arrived Archer began in detail to tell her everything he knew about last night. How

much he thought that she was in danger, how he would like to move her to a safe house. He told her

about Solis

. and how they change. He told her everything

Now she was sitting across from him in total silence, he didn‘t know if that was good or bad. He hoped

that she would believe in some of it anyway. They were running out of time.

“Well, Mr. Archer that was a very interesting story but I am afraid it is just a little too far–fetched for me

to believe. Do you have any proof you can offer?”

He smiled at that.

“Oh, yes I can prove to you at least about me being a shifter. I can‘t do it here though it has to be

someplace a little more private.”

“Alright, I don‘t know why I am going to do this but I will take you back to my place and you can show

me there. Just so you know though, no funny

business. I have a baseball bat where I can get it and neighbors that can hear everything.

All Rachel could think of on the drive home was how hot Mr.Archer was and hoping that her sister

didn‘t come home early. Once she was done putting away the groceries she turned to Archer.

“Well, are you going to show me or do I have to start swinging my bat?”

Her eyes widened after he smiled and started to take off his clothes.

“Whoa, wait a minute there, what are you doing?”

” I have to take off my clothes to shift catnip, if you are shy I suggest you turn away till I am done.” 2

He didn‘t have to take his clothes off to shift, that was something he decided to use from his time with

Duncan. He knew that she was attracted to him, so why not bait the hook a little more.

“I am not turning my back to you, I only trust you as far as I can throw you.”

He shrugged and pulled his shirt off, he could see her eyes starting to dart in different directions as her

face started to turn a nice shade of pink. He then unzipped his jeans and started to tug them down.

He heard her let out a hiss and she started to turn even pinker. Once he was naked he spared her from

any more embarrassment and shifted into his enormous Lion Solis.

Solis not wanting to scare her, laid down on the floor and started to purr.

Rachel just stood there in shock and disbelief. Her mind couldn‘t form a

single sentence, it was all...What? How? No way! How?...

Then she looked the Lion in the eyes and she gasped, they had the same eyes.

She had a lion rolling around on her living room floor purring, she couldn‘t help it, she should be out of

her mind scared right now. The only reaction she felt was to giggle at the silliness.

Her legs gave out and she sat down on the floor right where she was. The Lion looked at her as he

was on his back. His tongue was hanging out causing him to look even sillier than before. She started

laughing again, only this time she couldn‘t stop, before long she couldn’t breathe.

The next thing she knew she was being picked up into some very warm arms. Just as she felt like she

was

going to pass out.

“Shhhhh... It‘s alright, you are safe. It‘s ok I am here now. Shhhh...”

That voice was a beacon pulling her away from the blackness. She snuggled in closer to the warmth.

Not caring that he was still naked.

There was something about him that she felt connected to her in some way. She rested her head on

his naked shoulder. Feeling safe, feeling contented.

Some part of her snapped reality into place, that monster last night was real. She put it from her mind

but it was real.

Then losing her job because of a lying spoiled bitch, she should have taken her to court. She was

never in the room, to begin with.

Archer didn‘t say anything, it was like

he knew she just needed to be held in silence. They stayed that way for half an hour. Then she lifted

her head off his shoulder and looked into his eyes, yes they were the same.

She touched his face like she was making sure he was real. Archer

couldn‘t hold himself back anymore. He reached for her head and gently pulled it to his.

Rachel felt his lips gently exploring hers, his tongue slowing probing for a way inside. She opened for

him, unsure what she was doing, it was her first kiss.

He took control and she suddenly felt like electricity was running throughout her body, she was getting

hot between her legs, it was like he was waking up a part of her soul that had been asleep.

She wrapped her arms around his

neck and he groaned out his pleasure, she could feel something else alongside her leg that was getting

bigger too. She may be a virgin but she knew how things were done and she knew what that was.

Still, she didn‘t want to leave his lap just yet. His kiss started trailing down to her neck, once he reached

where her neck met her shoulder she arched her back as intense pleasure overcame her.

Then there was a shock as pain flooded her neck as he bit into her, just as soon as the pain was there

it was gone again replacing it with even more pleasure than before, igniting something inside her.

He started to reach under her shirt touching her bare skin, that was when she panicked. She got off

him like a grasshopper on a hot plate. When she looked back at him her

breath caught in her throat.

He looked wild, his eyes were glowing, looking at her like she was the last piece of food in existence.

She looked down at the rest of him and then quickly turned her head away, she could feel her face

turning

pink.

He got up and turned her to look at him.

“You can look at me anytime you want to, I am yours and yours alone from this moment on.”

“My sweet Catnip, I have so many things to show you. Nothing will ever hurt you, you will not have to

worry about your future. You are safe, all you have to do is let me have you.”

It was then that the front door opened and a voice that Rachel knew all too well. T LUU “Rachel, your

home, I thought you had to work today?”

Rachel looked at Archer, in a panic, she grabbed his clothes and pushed him down the hall. Not in time

though, as her sister watched the ass end of Archer running down the hall.
