Werewolf's Reprieve Part 5
I had a wonderful dream the night after I claimed Ryan as my mate. I can't recall it very well though, but I remember waking up that morning with a feeling of satisfaction. We had waited on the couch until my knot had softened enough to slip out, but we fell asleep waiting, and my body had reverted to its human self and slipped out on its own. As I looked around I saw Ryan sleeping soundly, his arms and legs wrapped around me in the same position we were last night. Both of us were still naked.
I smiled rubbing his back gently, realizing that last night wasn't just a dream. I felt complete for the first time in my life. I had everything I wanted, a good home, a good job, and someone I could call a life mate. I hope this stayed the same way forever. I remained sat in this position for a few minutes, my thoughts drifting until I felt Ryan stir on top of me. He yawned and stretched a little as he came to. I chuckled lightly, finding it very cute.
"Dustin?" he asked looking down as me as he rubbed an eye, "did we fall asleep?"
"We sure did sweety," I replied and kissed his cheek, "good morning."
"Yeah," he replied as he looked down at our naked forms, "We must have slept very well apparently."
"Indeed, are you cold?"
"No, in fact I feel warm for some reason," he said pondering, "I wonder if this is what it feels like not being a virgin anymore." I was a bit surprised, I knew he was living alone when I arrived, but I didn't know he was still a virgin, given his popularity and all.
"Really?" I asked.
"Yeah," he replied, "you were my first."
"Even though you've dated other people?" I was referencing his conversation with his friends a few weeks back, especially about the one lady who stalked him.
"Well, none of them ever felt right for me, and the relationships ended before they really got anywhere."
"I see."
"You're different though," he said smiling, "I never thought I'd lose my virginity to a werewolf. Hell I never thought I'd even meet a werewolf before."
"I see, is that why you're with me?" I asked a bit confused.
"No of course not," he replied, "you're sweet, and kind, and very loyal. I think you'd make a great boyfriend."
"Really?" I asked, blushing red myself now, "you mean it? I mean, you will be my boyfriend?" He nodded sincerely.
"Sure thing." That was all he needed to say before I kissed him passionately again for a minute, when we broke it off I replied.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome," he said blushing himself, "now I don't know about you, but we should probably clean up and get dressed. It's Monday and that means you have work today." I checked the clock and saw that he was right, fortunately I had a little over an hour to do so. Ryan got off of my and I followed, we walked upstairs to the shower together, during which I took Ryan's hand into my own.
We showered together for the first time, taking a little time to clean each other, but didn't stay long so that I had time to eat. I got to work in time after eating and dressing, and carried on with the day as usual. Monday was the slowest day of the week, despite Sunday hosting church for the predominant religion. Ryan's friends Joe and Bronson were carrying on a conversation of their own, as I was tidying up the counter, but otherwise not having much else to do besides stand around. That didn't last though as they soon came up to me to strike conversation.
"Hey Dusty," Bronson responded with a nickname he gave me, "you seem extra chipper today."
"Oh do I?" I replied, lying through my teeth, "what makes you think that?"
"How about the goofy grin you have on your face?" he retorted and chuckled, apparently it was obvious my happiness was showing.
"Usually someone isn't that happy unless," Joe said before he stopped smirking, "oh I know, you have a girl in your life don't you?" They didn't know I was gay yet, much less involved with their own friend.
"Well-"
"Oh I see," Bronson said with a smirk interrupting me, "it makes a lot of sense now. So Dusty, whose the lucky lady?"
"At least tell me," Joe began, "after all for following my advice right?"
"Your advice?" Bronson laughed, "you don't have a girlfriend."
"Not yet but I will," Joe shrugged, "but we're off topic, who is it Dustin?" After hesitating for a bit, I decided to play along a bit.
"I'm not telling," I chuckled and stuck my tongue out a bit.
"Tease," they both retorted simultaneously.
"Well fine don't tell us," Bronson said, "so are you going to see her again?"
"Well," I began, chuckling a bit inside myself whenever they mentioned the word her, "I'm planning on it, but I'm stumped as to what to do for a date. Do you guys have any ideas?"
"How about a movie, that's always a classic," Bronson suggested.
"Nah that's boring," Joe said, "you should do something off the norm, something she wouldn't suspect, that could be fun for both of you."
"But I don't know what I could do for that," I responded, trying to think. The other two went silent for a bit, before Bronson replied.
"Oh I know..."

Some time passed during the day, just before my shift ended. The conversation died off shortly after Bronson's suggestion. As I was working today though I noticed something, it was as if for some reason my senses had heightened, much like they were while I was in my werewolf form. I could see in great detail long distances, pick up a euphoria of scents that I couldn't as a human. I think I'm also able to lift more and move fast too. Only time will tell if that's true or not.
I got home shortly before sundown, and found Ryan in the dining room, he had just brought in some fresh grilled burgers, much to my carnivorous delight. He smiled and waved as I stepped in.
"Welcome home," he said "you are just in time. How was work?"
"Pretty well thank you," I replied sitting down after grabbing a drink to enjoy the meal, it was small and short, but I couldn't have asked for anything more. We enjoyed some light conversation about the day as we ate. Eventually I worked up the courage to ask him out. "Hey Ryan?"
"What is it Dustin?" he replied.
"Would you like to go out on a date sometime?" I asked carefully, "I mean since we're boyfriends and all." Fortunately Ryan simply smiled and nodded.
"Sure, sounds like fun," he replied, "what did you have in mind?"

"Is this it?" Ryan asked curiously and I nodded. A little time had passed and we picked a night that would work well with our schedules to head out to the desert. I had led Ryan by blindfold to the designated spot, much to Ryan's protest, but I figured he'd like the idea. When I instructed him to remove the blindfold he saw what I had prepared for him. We were looking at a dune buggy, which I had saved up some money and used to rent for the night.
"Yeah do you like?" I asked him, and Ryan thought for a moment.
"It's certainly unexpected, but I kind of like it, are we going for a ride?"
"Yeah I thought it'd be fun," I said, "What do you say?"
"Sure sounds fun," he responded with a smile. "How long do we have this?"
"For a few hours," I replied, "let's make the most of it."
"Okay," he replied, and I kissed him as he climbed in the passenger seat, before I got around into the driver seat and buckled up.
"Read?" I asked him.
"Let's do it," he said holding on tight. I nodded and turned on the engine, before driving off into the dunes. I started off slow to get used to the controls and the bumpy terrain. Such was typical of off roaders I suppose. I occasionally looked over at Ryan as we were going up a hill, he seemed to enjoy himself, which was just what I was hoping for tonight. Things seemed to go smoothly.
It was then I pondered going faster. I had noticed more with each day that my lycan abilities have gotten stronger, to the point that I can experience them as a human too, so I figured I could increase his enjoyment by going faster, while maintaining control. Before I knew it I punched the gas and the buggy sped up in response.
"Woah," Ryan shouted, "Isn't this a little too fast?"
"Come on Ryan you'll love it," I replied, going over a hill and along a bumpy path. Ryan held on tight as we drove along; I steered and kept control perfectly like an expert, quickly speeding up. I kept this up for a while, as the human next to me slowly got used to it. Eventually we both got into it, starting to laugh along for the ride, enjoying every minute, until I sped up as fast as it could go, launching right off the hill into the air for a couple seconds. Ryan shouted in surprise as we landed, and I stopped temporarily.
"Wow," Ryan said catching his breath with a light nervous chuckle, "How did you get so good at this."
"I guess it just comes natural to me," I replied with a toothy grin, "are you ready to go back?"
"Maybe we could keep going for a little while longer," Ryan suggested after catching his breath.
"Sure thing baby," I replied and gave him a loving kiss on the lips, before starting it up again.
The date lasted for about an hour or so more, before we tired ourselves out, and headed back home. We stepped in from the garage, Ryan putting the keys down on the counter.
"Thanks a lot for that, I had fun," he said to me as I closed the garage door and followed inside.
"It's no problem, maybe we can go on another date soon," I suggested.
"Sure that sounds fun," he replied and kissed me on the cheek, as I checked the time on the clock, " Oh I guess it's probably time I head to bed. I'll see you tomorrow.
"Ok," Ryan said and waved as I started upstairs, but then he called to me, "Dustin wait."
"Yes?" I looked past the arm rest at him.
"Would you perhaps, uh, like to sleep with me, in my bed tonight?" I was surprised by the sudden offer, it had been a few days but we hadn't slept together yet. It was a pleasant surprise, and was very happy to accept.
"I would love to, I'll see you up here," I replied.
"Alright, just hang on a few minutes I still need to check today's mail." Ryan said. I nodded and hurried up to get ready for bed, I was looking forward for tonight. Ryan took a little longer to get up, which I wouldn't learn until later when he opened up a letter from an anonymous sender, which he read...
'I know your secret, and if you don't cooperate with me, I'll release it to the world...'
