4 Too hot to handle (2/2)
Raven set the jewelry and box aside as she turned toward Joslyn. ”Well, first off, what exactly is going on? All I've seen, other than the shower thing, is him transforming a lot and drinking even more.” Raven said as she moved over to the bed beside Joslyn.
With a large sigh, Joslyn dove straight into the craziness of the past 2 months. ”Since the twins' birthday in April, they have both been going through massive changes. However Russ is….. oh god….” Joslyn turned red just thinking about what she was getting ready to admit to her friend.
Raven snickered, ”Russ is?... Come on spit it out.”
”Russ has…. Targeted me as his potential mate… He confessed his love, and even went as far as to say he's loved me this whole time…” Joslyn's words trailed off as she thought about what all had followed that confession. ”He's tried kissing me more times that I even want to count. He came into my room in wolf form, transformed back into human form while in my room and… and…” Joslyn lifted her eyes back up to meet Raven's gaze. ”I woke up with him over top me licking my neck last night..”
Raven shrugged, ”Well you know when werewolves turn 18 they go into overdrive and it will be that way until they are fully matured at 21. Is it so odd that he would feel that way toward you? The question is….” Raven held Joslyn's gaze as she asked, ”Are you attracted to him?”
Joslyn's mouth flew open then closed quickly. She blushed heavily as she admitted for the first time her true feelings, ”He's beautiful…” Joslyn stared at a stray fiber of blanket as she thought about Russ. ”Last night…. He was on top of me immediately after a transformation. I…. I… pressed my hands against his chest to stop him from kissing me, but…. His chest… the muscles were so hard under the softest, smoothest skin. Even after he got out of the bed, the way the light played across his bare body… then when he was leaving…. OMG… His ass…. And that damn wet shirt!” Joslyn moved her gaze back to Raven's. ”If it's not bad enough, he says things that make my toes curl!”
Raven laughed lightly, a thoughtful look on her face, ”His body is quite mature, even for a werewolf. I'd be lying if I said I've not had a dirty thought or two myself.” She shrugged again, ”And I am his guardian!” she sent Joslyn a knowing look, ”You are not.”
”But I've known him since he was a baby.” Joslyn indicated his once small size with her hand as she continued, ”I've even changed his diaper before!” Joslyn sighed heavily, ”Besides you know good and well there could never be a future between he and I.” despair felled her words.
”Ok, soooooo…. What are you going to do?” Raven asked. ”The way I see it you only really have two options: give in or find a distraction.”
”There's only one option and you know that….” With a stern look, Joslyn declared, ”Find a distraction!”
By the time Raven, Shelly, and Joslyn were ready, Russ had already drunk several cans of beer and several other assorted drinks he had found in the back of the fridge. The resulting empty cans and bottles were piled all over the coffee table in the center of the living room. Joslyn shook her head, as she walked into the kitchen where Shelly was staring at the flyer hanging on the fridge. It advertised a beach party, featuring a top-notch local band. Shelly had been somewhat of a groupie to the band for some time now but still hadn't won the eye of the drummer she liked.
”Think tonight will be the night?” Joslyn asked as she walked up beside her friend, her head directed toward the flyer but her lash vailed eyes trained on her friend's face. Joslyn could watch the play of emotions play across Shelly's face: longing, hurt, desperation, need. Joslyn felt horrible for her friend, she frequently chose unavailable or uninterested men and frequently, giving in to the hurt and rejection, ended up settling for the first jerk who approached her. ”You look really nice.” Joslyn said, in the hopes of cheering up her friend. There was something about werewolves that went hormonally, batshit crazy when they hit full maturity, which hit these twins like a wrecking ball 2 months ago. Think god their instincts was for breeding and not just sex and romance, Joslyn didn't think she could stand having both siblings coming onto her so aggressively.
Shelly finally pulled her gaze away from the flyer and smiled at Joslyn, ”Do you really think so?” hope colored her words and lit up her face.
”Oh yes, beautiful! He'd have to be a blind idiot to ignore you tonight.” Joslyn said as she let her eyes explore the clothing her friend finally settled on. Shelly wore Joslyn's blue jean mini skirt, Ravens lace up to the knee sandals, and one of Russ's band t-shirts. It was a crazy mix, to say the least. Joslyn looked away from her friend and toward the living room as Russ fell over the coffee table knocking over the cans and bottles. ”Not it!” Joslyn and Shelly yelled at the same time.
”No fair, I'm not even in the same room!” Raven yelled out from her doorway down the hall. The girls had begun calling 'not it' in order to avoid cleaning up Russ's messes. The last one to call 'not it' had to clean up the mess, because left up to Russ it wouldn't get cleaned.”Plus, I cleaned the bathroom this morning!”
”Screw it, we'll do it together after the party.Let's go!!!” Shelly exclaimed excitedly as she skipped quickly to the door.
