I LOVE THIS COUPLE, SO, PLEASE DON'T BE MEAN!

Sage's Shot-by PS

Softly tanned hands crawled across a tanned chest, making a growl rumble through the room.

Cerulean eyes snapped up to meet amber, and the woman smirked, "is that a good growl, or a bad one?"

Another growl sounded and the tall woman smirked again, her ego soared.

Her hands trailed down to the man's thighs and he let out a huffy sigh, making the woman giggle.

"Let's see if you can purr…"

She reached down further, her hand going to grasp hi-

Sage sat up with a start, her eyes golden, and her heart pounding.

Her hands clawed mercilessly at the black silk sheets, and she was dripping wet.

"Shit," she muttered to herself as she got up and went to the bathroom to clean up.

It was before dawn, and the stillness of the day was discontenting and relentless.

The tall woman sighed to herself and watched in her bedroom mirror as her eyes faded back to a pale blue, making her look like an innocent porcelain doll straight from heaven.

She turned this way and that, examining her body and thinking.

Her legs were miles long; she had a flat tummy; her breasts were adequate and she had a gorgeous face that shown a golden tan.

Anyone would kill to have her body.

All except one.

Thoughts of the Moor came to mind as she studied her body, making her flushed and self-conscious.

She was in love with Asil, she knew it.

Everyone knew it, everyone except for he himself it seemed.

She shook her head at her self and flopped back on her bed, sucking up the warmth of the sheets and closing her eyes for a few more hours of sleep…

Her eyes snapped up to his as he rumbled deep in his throat, "what's wrong?"

He sighed and pulled her closer, "I'm afraid something will happen to you my angel."

The woman pulled him closer, and he inhaled her scent.

Sweet perfume and violets.

Both her true scent.

She nuzzled against his chest and giggled.

He pulled back a little, "what's so funny?"

She smiled at him, "I can think of a few ways to break you out of your sad mood…"

She trailed off as she slithered down the bed, her head even with his waist.

He growled, letting her feel the rumble, delighted when he coaxed a giggle from her again…

Asil sat up in bed, his eyes wide, his chest heaving.

He couldn't remember who the girl was, but, she seemed so familiar…

He sighed to himself and groaned, falling back onto the bed.

He still had a few hours of sleep left, and right before lunch he had to give Anna her lesson…

He closed his black eyes and settled the beast, whom was still excited about that dream…

Sage waited patiently as she called Anna's phone.

She needed someone to talk to, and Anna was just the girl.

"Hello?"

Sage straightened in her chair, "Anna! Hi, I needed to talk to you, and I was wondering if you were busy."

The other woman's voice came back, ever soothing and warm, "sure. I'm at Asil's and we'll be done with the lesson by the time you get here, so we can talk then."

That gave Sage pause. She was going straight to the source of her problem.

And she was frightened.

"Sage? You still there?"

Sage swallowed, "yeah. Sorry. I got distracted. I'll be there in fifteen. If you want we can go out to eat?"

Anna paused, "oh. Well, I had planned to eat here, lunch is already going."

Sage smoothed down her anger and impatience, and damn if she wasn't good at it, "even better. Be there soon. Sage out."

She hung up her cell and tossed into her Gucci beside her.

This was going to be a long lunch time…

Anna turned to Asil, her smile wide, "Sage is coming over for lunch if that's alright."

Asil nodded, stirring the pasta sauce lightly, "of course. The more the merrier."

He pushed away the tiny thrill that hearing Sage's name and the words 'coming over' created. What was that anyway?

He was swept out of his reverie by the sound of Sage's car pulling up.

He stiffened but forced his muscles to relax as Sage swept in through the door; letting wind and herself in.

She tossed her coat on the back of a chair and walked into the kitchen, "mm, it smells good. What's cooking?"

Something does smell good indeed.

Asil pushed his wolf's thoughts away as he inhaled Sage's sweet scent.

Perfume and violets. It seemed so familiar.

Sage was beside him when he came to again, "you okay 'Sil, you look kind of out of it."

Asil scolded himself, "I am fine. Just tired. How are you today Sage?"

The tall woman smiled, waltzing over to her purse and opened it, "I got you something 'Sil!"

He listened and watched closely as she sang his nickname and dug through the golden bag.

Finally, she produced a small bag.

She held it behind her back, "close your eyes."

Asil smiled to himself at her childish antics but closed his eyes anyway and held out his hand.

A second later a package that smelled of chocolate was in his palm, and he could hear Anna's small giggle from the hallway.

He opened his eyes and looked down at the bag.

The side exclaimed "Coco's Chocó" in bright colors, and promised a variety of different exotic chocolates.

Asil smiled at the thin woman, "thank you Sage."

She smiled back and sat down at the table, glancing over at Anna as she walked slowly on.

Anna smiled at them both, "I just remembered something. I promised Bran that I would come over and eat lunch with him."

Asil and Sage both smelled the half-lie, but, politely ignored it.

"Oh course," Asil said graciously, "go on."

Anna smiled, the peace drifting lazily through the room, "thanks, sorry I can't stay. I'm sure you two will be fine though."

Only Sage caught the undertone of those words.

Anna grabbed her coat, tossed one last farewell back, and left, making a cold breeze flail through the house.

It was deathly quiet.

Sage shifted in her seat, "I wonder what she was really going to do."

Asil shrugged, taking out two bowls and throwing a grin her way, "who knows. Probably going to meet Charles somewhere."

Sage giggled, "yeah, probably."

Asil snuck a glance at her, "so, what was the real reason you came over here?"

Sage fought down the blush, "oh, I needed to talk to Anna, but, obviously, she's gone now."

Asil went and ladled some soup into the bowls, "well, maybe I can help."

Sage did flush this time, "uh, no, I don't think so."

Asil fought down a frown, "why not?"

Sage took two glasses out of the cupboard and filled them with ice to busy herself, "its nothing really, just, some girl stuff. Nothing you'd be interested in."

We're interested in everything you do.

Asil smacked the wolf down and licked his lips, "well, sorry I can't help."

Sage shrugged, grabbing two spoons, "s'okay, I mean, you wouldn't really want to help me with what's going on."

Asil stared at her, "you'd be surprised."

Sage's eyes snapped up to his and they simply stared at each other.

"Sage…"

He leaned closer to her and she met him halfway.

Her eyes swam, her pupil's dilated, and her irises swirling blue and gold.

Finally, after a moment of staring Sage closed her eyes and pushed her lips onto his.

Even though he was expecting it Asil froze, slightly surprised.

Sage started to panic when he didn't kiss her back, and, after a full minute of him not moving she pulled away from him, her gaze on the ground.

"I-I'm sorry. I-I should go."

And without saying anything more Sage grabbed her coat and stormed out of the door, leaving a confused Asil behind…

I HOPE YOU GUYS LIKED IT, IF NOT...SO SORRY. MUCH LOVE AS ALWAYS, PS :)
