There are no spoilers in this scene but it does follow the scene after Jade fights Shara and Owen for the first time in Blood & Sunlight.
“Are you alright?” Shara tugged Owen to a stop as Alice walked past them, making her way to camp.
“I’m fine.”
It had only been a few minutes after their brawl with Jade and he already knew what she was about to say. That was the issue with someone knowing you so well. They’re fully aware when you cross a line. Shara was one of the few that knew him absolutely.
Shara waited for Alice to disappear between the trees before she scolded him. “You know to avoid the wolf, Owen. You know what it does to you.”
It was alway hard to hold back a smile as his neck craned down to stare at her cross with him. It seemed so unnatural for someone so small to so effortlessly demand respect simply from the tone in her voice. Yet she did it without skipping a beat. He half feared it and half found it cute at the same time.
“That was years ago,” he lied. Even now he felt it’s call pulsing through his veins. His entire body was on edge. His nerves were vibrating under his skin. He was fighting the urge to shift. Every ounce of him was screaming to grip her hips and toss her up onto him to silence all of it. “I can handle it.”
It wasn’t true. She knew that. Shifting into the wolf was off-limits for a reason.
“You can’t use it. Especially in training. Even Soran spotted you losing control.”
He chuckled, attempting to lighten the mood, to talk of anything but this. “What am I going to do? Bite someone? That’s Soran’s thing, remember?” His thumb grazed gently across her bottom lip. “Though if you want me too, that can definitely be arranged.”
It caused a faint smile to lift to her lips, but worry still filled the features on her face. “You can’t joke about this. I almost lost you once.”
She was always good at catching his tells. He wished he knew what they were so he could change them.
Owen let out a heavy sigh, raking his hand through his hair. His dirty blonde locks snaked past his eyes. “I know. I’m sorry.” He stepped closer to her, closing the space between them, lifting her chin with his finger. “I can let most things go. When it comes to you, I can’t help it. I saw you on the ground and I, I panicked.” His face hardened. “I wasn’t prepared to see you get hurt. I never thought she would get that far.”
“I know.”
He leaned in and kissed her. Her lips were as soft as he remembered the first day he kissed her and her body understood his as much as it did back then. It was smooth and effortless as he tucked her into him. Her breast pressed into his firm pecs as her whole body dragged instinctively to him. The tension and ache in his muscles lessened as his tongue found hers. If anyone could quiet the wolf, it was her.
It took a moment, but she pushed him back, placing her palm on his chest, still worried. “How are you feeling? Any lasting effects?”
“Still the worry wart, aren’t we?” His hands trailed down her hips, slowly caressing her skin through the thin fabric as he played with her skirt. “I thought that was my job now.”
Just her presence made everything better, feeling her heat press against his. His pulse raced for a different reason now, not that for a moment, he almost forgot who he was and acted on pure instinct. He very well could have maimed Jade and he wouldn’t have been able to forgive himself.
“You aren't as strong as you once were.” Shara’s voice grew stern.
Owen ran his fingers through her curls, taking a moment to let them bounce back to the frame of her face. Gods, she was beautiful. Even cross with him, he couldn’t get over how he could stare at her like this forever as long as it meant he was allowed to be in her presence.
She was always looking out for him and it soothed him to the core even if he hated that she worried. She was his, and nothing in this moment, but this fact mattered.
“Where is that woman who used to break into apothecaries with me?” Owen whispered in her ear, nibbling it to sway her. She giggled and it filled him, warming every inch of him. “The woman who would let me take her on the counter before we robbed the witch hunters blind? That woman didn’t worry as much as you do.”
“That was a long time ago.” Shara let out a pleased sigh to his lips trailing down her neck, but the fight in her voice already started to wane. “That was a different girl.”
“Eh, I beg to differ. Your laughter would fill the room when I kissed you here.” Owen kissed a spot on her clavicle as his scruff brushed against her.
A warm giggle bubbled out of her. “You know I’m ticklish,” she giggled again as he lifted her onto his hips with ease, pressing her into a nearby boulder.
Lifting her was never a problem with her short stature and it made it all the more fun to him that he towered over her. It was like tasting cinnamon and sugar on his tongue. She was addictive with every brush of his lips caressing down her chest and he wanted more, every inch of his body vibrating with the thought of her.
His scruff brushed against her neck again as his hands lifted under her shawl made of finely threaded leaves. She giggled to him, tickling her, and it swirled into a soft moan as his thumb pebbled her nipple against the white fabric of her dress.
“Gods, make that noise again,” he growled low in her ear. His body pressed into her, every curve of his muscles tightened and taunt.
“No lingering effects from shifting, huh, wolf?” Her hands trailed down his shoulders, caressing the curves throughout his biceps.
Owen let out a deep groan to her touch trailing down his body and it grew into another growl. Not many knew the effects shifting had on him. Shara did.
“You know you love it.” There was a seductive hymn to his voice as his hips pinned her to the rock. “You know, I shifted into your outfit for a few minutes in this heat and I was dying.” He unclasped her shawl made of leaves. “Yet you insist on wearing it everyday.”
“You know why.”
“That I do.” Owen flashed her a smile as it dropped to the floor. “You’re right. We should head back to camp instead. Your time would be better suited sitting in the hot sun.” Sweating in this heavy dress, sticking to your skin.” He lifted the dress off of her with little effort, tossing it to the floor.
“You’re right.” A coy smile rose to her lips. “Was it tiresome lifting that off? You don’t want to over exert yourself.”
“It was quite the task.”
He took a moment to take her in. The sunlight through the trees glossed over her perky breast like it was displaying them just for him. The sweat glistened along her skin in small beads and he wanted to taste each one as his lips grazed down her body. It took every bit of strength he had left to restrain himself as he saw her breath quicken to his eyes on her.
“We should head back.” His hips pinned her hard to the boulder as his fingers teased slowly down her breasts. His voice was unconvincing and playful.
Shara let out a gasp as he pinched one of her nipples, hardening it as she jolted up in pleasure to the sensation. His cock was hard against her, pressing deeper in between her legs. Even between the fabric of his pants blocking him, he still felt her wet against him. A groan grew in the back of his throat at the thought of sliding inside her, at how sweet she would feel, clenching around his cock as he thrusted into her harder and harder against the rock. Gods, he could barely contain himself.
But his favorite part was teasing her and she was biting her lip like she wanted nothing more than them to spend the day fucking in the forest… him taking her against the rock, lifting her off it as he bounced her on his cock before he took her to the grass. There was even a cluster of rocks a few yards away. He could bend her over and have his way. In all of Layol, the possibilities were endless. He was having a harder time deciding what he wanted to do with her first rather than simply committing to one.
“You were right. I’m famished. Let’s head back and you can lounge in the hot sun,” He teased her.
“Is that what you really want to do now?”
“Oh, yes. Do me the favor of not wearing that shawl and I’ll try and pretend I don’t see your nipples through the fabric tempting me at every turn, torturing me.” He lifted her up a few inches, hooking her in his grip as his voice grew into a husk and his fingers slowly trailed up her thigh.
A gasp let her lips. It sent a tingle down his spine.
“What else will we do back at camp?” she rasped.
“We can forge before lunch.” His thumb made it to the center between her legs and he pressed gently into her swollen clit, smirking at her releasing a soft moan. His eyebrow arched. “I see you like that plan?”
“You don’t play fair, Owen,” Shara whined, sinking into his touch as his thumb moved in circles over her.
His lips hooked into a smile pressing into the edge of her ear as he whispered, “You can pick my favorite berries, instead of feeling my fingers slide inside you. Instead of me fucking you right here until you’re moaning my name.” He slid one finger in then two. Her body pressed further into him, releasing a moan as he teased her slowly. “Instead of me taking you to the creek next and tasting you until your legs are shaking and I have to carry you home. Let's head back for the day and I’ll promise to eat only food instead of what I’m really craving.”
“You’re right that sounds like the perfect day. Let’s head back.” she bit her lip holding back a moan as she teased him with a look in her eye, knowing full well she’d regret it.
His fingers stopped and her lips immediately formed into a pout.
“When you talk like that, I’m going to make you beg for it now.”
“Please.” She pressed off the rock and kissed him as he smirked at her effort to ride his fingers herself.
“Please, what?”
His thumb started to move against her clit again and her head arched back into the boulder as she sank into his touch. He bit her bottom lip and tugged ever so gently.
“Fuck me,” Shara let out a pleased whine to his fingers sliding into her over and over again. Her nails gripped into his biceps. “Oh, gods don’t stop.” Her hips lifted up into him as he held her weight, moving his fingers faster into her. “Please fuck me. I want all of it. Fuck me until I’m shaking.”
He let out a low growl in her ear. “You’re going to have to cum for me first to get that.”
