Phillip left the cabin to go visit Anna, he left Suzette who fell asleep minutes after their passionate session. Phillip again wanted to knock but Anna opened before he could. He stepped in watching her, her eyes also on him, but her face, as usual expressionless.

"Hello" he greeted as she closed the door.

"Good evening" She said and went to sit down.

"You won't mind me asking a few more questions right?"

"No" She asked watching the fire.

"When you said there's something wrong with the wolves, you didn't mean they are growing bigger than normal right?"

She frowned looking at him.

"As in, i found a paw print this big" he held his hands up.

"That is the paw, of one of her wolves"

"Her wolves? The witch's?"

"Yes, where did you see it?"

"Well i saw the print at a campsite where a couple of teenagers were killed, presumably by this large wolf"

She nodded slowly "She's up to her old, ways again"

"What?"

"Every now and then, people start dying on the reserve, many times it goes unnoticed. The woves are usually to blame, that and human error, all they ever say is the people were in the wrong place, at the wrong time" She looked at him again "But there are certain places, the wolves attack te most, in my culture we call them totems, or killing grounds"

"As in, specific places people go to and get killed by wolves?"

"Yes, but, they are off the beaten path, not necessarily a place where people should go"

"Like?"

"Into the forest, into certain rock formations, patches of open field" Even her voice one toned, and feelingless. Phillip decided to change the subject for now.

"So, Anna, what do you do here in your free time?"

"I have alot of free time, you should ask the question differently, what i do as an occupation maybe?"

"Ok?"

"I hunt, so i can provide the town with some meat and fur. I fish, i craft"

"What do you craft?"

"Wooden statues, clay bowels, reed baskets"

"Wow, that sounds interesting"

She didn't look at him, instead she stood up and stirred her caldron again, the smell coming from her food was devine.

"Where did you learn to cook so well?" He asked.

"I taught myself through reading books, something i do in my free time"

"You only read cook books?"

"No, i read everything" She dished them a plate of stew meat, and sat down again. Phillip couldn't help digging in immediately, the taste confirmed the smell, it was fantastic.

"So?" He tried a different approach "You have a man in your life?"

She frowned at him "I told you this morning, you are the first man i let in here"

"So... You've never been in a relationship?"

"No?"

He dared dig up the question, they were both adults after all

"So you never had sex before?"

For the first time since he met her, her cheeks got red, and her face went shy.

"No" She almost whispered. Phillip gave a slight chuckle.

"You're joking right? You could have any man you want"

"What do you mean?"

"Youre, this, very attractive woman, and i mean, I've not really met a woman quite as pretty as you"

"What about your girlfriend? Surely she must be prettier? Since you and she are together?"

"Well, I know Suzette for a long time now, and fell in love with her but not for her looks, more for who she is as a person"

"So she's not as pretty as me, according to you?"

"She'll kill me if she heard this, but no, you're way prettier"

Her blush was now almost permanent.

"That was a compliment right?" She asked.

"Yes" He smiled at her.

"Then, if im this pretty to you, would you consider, sharing a bed with me?" She asked not looking up from her food. Phillip felt like he could kick himself, no man in his rightful mind would deny a beauty like her, or pass up such an open request, but he couldn't, he loved Suzette and that was the truth.

"As much as i want to, it would be cheating on Suzette"

"Cheating?" She looked up.

"Yes, i can't sleep with two women, i chose her"

"But you're not married, right?"

"Well, not yet, but"

"Then we won't talk of it, she won't know"

Phillip smacked his forehead, what now?

"I... I..."

"If you agree, i won't bother you again, and i will help you with anything, go with you to places you need help with, even show you important things about the area you need to know. Ill even go with you to find your father"

It almost sounded like she begged him.

"I'll think about it" He ended up saying, making her blush fade.

"Why don't you ask a man here in town? There has to be someone here your age?"

Her eyes squinted "I told you, they think im a witch"

"Uh, oh yea"

Anna sighed "Tomorrow i will come with you to the kill site. Maybe i can help you with something i know"

"Thank you"

"But, ill do it for a kiss"

He felt his face warm up, this woman was very straight forward.

"A kiss?"

"Yes, but kiss me, as you kiss her"

"Suzette?"

She nodded and stood up, not giving him any real time to consider it.

"I, dont know" he said not moving from his chair, but she came and sat on his lap, Phillip froze she leaned in close to his face, those purple eyes had him memorized, her smell had a subtle leather and lavender scent, she leaned on his shoulders but didn't come any closer, she only watched him and waited.

"I dont know if i could only kiss you" He softly said.

"Why?"

"What if it goes further than that?"

A smile came on her face, but thistime it felt like a normal one

"Its up to you, i said i only want you to kiss me, like you kiss her"

Phillip brought his hand up and touched her cheek, her smile suddenly faded, asif surprised at what he's doing. Phillip then leaned slightly forward and gave her a deep kiss. He felt her arms come around his neck as one kiss lead to another, she climbed onto him, spreading her legs and tucking her knees in next to his sides. Phillip felt this get real, he took her face in both hands then slowly pushed her away.

"There you have it" He smiled.

Anna's breath was slightly escalated, so this was the feeling? She wanted more of it, but he had a srong bond with Suzette, otherwise he would not have stopped her. She climbed off and stood aside.

"Forgive me" She mumbled.

"Its ok" He said feeling his heart still racing, she nearly had him.

"Have you ever had brandy before?" He asked and she shook her head. Phillip stood up.

"Then if you ever want to have me as company again, ill bring some with, it helps you relax"

She nodded and followed him to the door.

"Goodnight Anna"

"Goodnight" She replied closing the door as he left. Anna bit her nail, it was how it just came naturally, though she has never done it before, it was asif instinct took over. she didn't love him, but that lust for sex drove her to attempt at going the distance regardless of him loving Suzette, Anna didn't care about her, in fact, she felt Suzette was in her way now, Phillip was the first man she ever met who didn't see her as a witch, but as a normal person, and Anna wanted to take full advantage of that, even of it meant...

'Oh, you want to get laid hey?'

Anna's thoughts of Phillip broke.

"Leave him"

'I cant promise anything'

"No! Hes mine, let me have my fun first, you always get them first"

'...very well, dont take too long, he has a strong spirit'

"I know, but his woman, you can have her"

'Oh? Trying to get rid of the competition?'

"Don't hurt her"

'I already started with her, but it's him i want!'

"No! I said he's mine!"

'Im going to break him down a little, I'll make him seek ways to escape the horrors of this place, then he'll be easy pickings for you'

Anna felt her heart long for him, even if she didn't want to, if it would make it considerably easier, she'd allow it.

"Just don't over do it"
