Cougar Romance: The Traitor: Secret Shades of the Alpha Blood Series (Paranormal BBW Menage Romance) (5 page)

The heat in the cave was
becoming oppressive. Diana felt the heat pressing down on her like
the heat she had felt in the training room back at the Zuni
reservation.

“
It helps with the
training,” Sandra, now Manaba called from behind them, “it has to
be hot for you to stop thinking about anything. For you to lose
control.”

“
What else has to happen
for me to lose control?” Diana asked this question of Charlie. She
still was not keen on speaking to Manaba. She knew, whatever she
said to the contrary that that woman wanted her dead.

“
You’ll see,” Charlie
said.

“
Here’s good enough,”
Manaba said finally, “we can set her down on this
stone.”

“
What do you mean set her
down?” Diana asked defensively. She was not keen on being set down
anywhere, especially not by a woman who was attempting to kill
her.

“
Don’t worry, Diana,”
Charlie said putting a hand gently on her shoulders, “Just sit down
here and close your eyes. Everything will be ok.”

Diana, realizing that
there was no opening where they were in the cave, no way she could
possibly escape this, sat down and closed her eyes.

“
Now, Diana,” Charlie
said, “just relax.”

She felt female hands
press down on her shoulders, just as Cat’s grandfather’s had at the
reservation. There was no great pain this time. All the same, Diana
felt much stiffer now than she had then and a thousand times more
guarded.

“
Don’t worry, Diana,” she
heard Charlie say as she felt him grab her hand, “just let go of
control, let go of all your thoughts.”

Diana pressed her eyes as
tightly as she could and willed herself to forget that she was in
the company of two people who would gladly see her dead. She willed
herself to forget that they had talked of killing her just that
morning.

But, with Charlie’s hand
in hers instead of Cat’s, that was not an easy thing to
remember.

She heard
Sandra...Manaba’s voice begin the chants and she tried as hard as
she could to clear her mind.

All the same, after a few
fruitless minutes, she heard Manaba stop.

“
It’s not working,
Charlie,” Manaba said, “it looks like we’ll have to help her
along.”

“
Ok,” she heard Charlie
say next to her.

Diana could feel Charlie
move up close to her. So close she could feel his tight muscles
against her arms.

“
Diana,” he said, his
breath played on her cheek, “I’m going to do something now. No
matter what I do, no matter what I feel, you have to trust me.
Ok?”

Diana’s heart began to
race in her chest. She knew she truly didn’t want whatever it was
Charlie was offering. Still, she knew that if she had any hope of
being trained, any hope of getting back to Cat, she would have to
play along.

“
Ok,” she said, “I trust
you.”

“
Good,” he
said.

She kept her eyes closed
as she felt his lips press against her neck. Diana gasped as Manaba
continued chanting.

“
Relax,” Charlie whispered
to her. She felt his hand run up her leg and how could she relax.
She knew, the prophecy had said she belonged to Cat.

But, it had also said she
needed to be trained, perhaps that was the key. Perhaps if she
could think of Cat…

She kept her eyes closed,
and as Charlie’s hand moved slowly up her thigh and beneath her
skirt, Diana remembered Cat’s moves from last night.

How, his strong body had
been splayed over her.

As Charlie’s hand reached
her center, just over her panties, she pictured Cat’s dark eyes
looking down on her.

As Charlie’s other hand
moved to her breast and squeezed gently, she remembered the warm
glow of her talisman as Cat had pressed his lips to hers, whispered
against her ear.

She felt another pair of
lips reach her neck, the chanting was more distant now. These lips
on her neck were female. She knew that. But, in her mind, they also
belonged to Cat.

Another, slender arm
reached out to touch her other breast as Charlie’s hand stayed
teasing her folds over her underwear, she imagined that all three
arms, both lips, everything belonged to Cat.

When one finger slipped
inside of her underwear and touched her very center, it was Cat
making her cry out with pleasure. As a small, female hand dipped
beneath her shirt, it was Cat squeezing her bare breast, running
his fingers over her nipple and making her grow hard.

She remembered Cat’s words
to her as she felt now two, three fingers slip inside of her along
with a thumb that continued to circle her clit.

“
You have no idea how much
I want you,” she heard herself say.

She screamed out her
pleasure and suddenly, there was nothing else. Nothing in the world
except for Catahassa Yazzie. Suddenly, she was not even herself any
longer.

As she came down from her
exquisite ecstasy, she realized that she was not walking on two
legs but four, she was nearer to the ground.

Her feet were not feet but
paws. Her body was covered in white fur. She knew, immediately that
she had become the white cougar. In the distance, she saw another
of her kind, another cougar.

This one was tan, smaller
than she was. His eyes looked into hers and were deep and dark and
so familiar.

Cat.

Cat turned and padded his
way into the darkness. Diana followed, her paws feeling more than a
little strange against the dirt ground.

She followed Cat further
into the cave. He turned right twice.

Unlike the vision she had
seen at the reservation, which, she knew had been mostly in her
mind, she could not help but feel as though this vision was real.
As though Cat was leading her to a real place that she could truly
find.

Eventually, as Cat lead
her on, daylight began to peek inside the dark cave. When Cat’s
cougar reached a large opening, he stopped, turned to Diana and sat
back on his haunches.

Behind the opening, Diana
could see the salt lake and, also, Cat’s car.

She knew now,
instinctively, what that meant. Cat was looking for her. He would
be waiting for her through this opening.

“
She’s seeing him,” Diana
heard the girl, Manaba’s voice from very far away.

“
Well, stop her,” she
heard Charlie say.

Diana worked hard to
ignore them. She filled her mind, once again with Cat. She padded
closer to him. As she did, he transformed.

She did as well, though,
she was not aware of choosing to do so.

She finally reached Cat
and he pulled her into a fierce, desperate embrace. He covered his
mouth with hers and Diana knew that, at last, she was
safe.

“
I can’t stop it,” she
heard Manaba’s voice call, much more softly now than it had been
before, “I can’t pull her out of the trance.”

Diana smiled into Cat’s
mouth. She did not want to come out of this trance. She did not
want to be away from him.

Cat pressed himself closer
to her and moved his lips to her ear.

“
Come and find me, Diana,”
he whispered, “I’m waiting for you.”

Diana sighed before
another voice spoke sharply cutting through her reverie.

“
I’ll have to do it,”
Charlie’s voice said. She was prepared to ignore this voice as well
before she felt sharp claws tearing at her back. She screamed in
pain and fell to the ground. She looked up and tried to focus on
Cat, but he was fading. Before he left her vision entirely, she saw
Charlie’s cougar pounce onto Cat’s form dragging him to the
ground.

“
Cat!” she screamed
desperately before the vision was gone for good.

Her eyes flew open and she
looked around her. Charlie was standing at her side, Manaba behind
her.

She had fallen from the
rock, she sat on the ground with blood flowing painfully from her
arm. She looked down to see long claw marks.

She had thought that none
of it was real, that it was just part of the...vision or trance
or…

“
I’m sorry, Diana,”
Charlie said confirming her suspicions, “I had to, you wouldn’t
come out.”

She looked at Charlie in
disbelief. He had scratched her, he had hurt her.

“
Diana,” he said reaching
towards her but Diana had had enough. She could not pretend
anymore. She knew Cat was looking for her and, what’s more, she
knew how to get to him.

She threw a sharp kick at
Charlie’s chest. She saw him fall to the ground before she stood
and ran as quickly as she could trying to follow the path Cat had
showed her.

“
She’s going for the
opening!” she heard Charlie call, “stop her!”

Diana didn’t turn around
to look. Though, she soon heard the quick pounding of paws. A
cougar was following her.

No sooner had she realized
this than she felt herself being pulled, forcefully to the
ground.

She tried to kick and claw
as best she could as she felt herself being dragged backward, back
to the cave and back to Charlie.

Pain filled her leg as she
felt impossibly sharp teeth sink into her flesh. As she felt blood
continue to flow freely now from two wounds, her head began to
spin, her vision grew hazy.

As the world flickered
around her, she saw Charlie’s feet come into view.

“
I can’t let you go,
Diana,” he said, “you’re the key to everything…”
