but the smell had gone to her head, confusing her, awakening animal instincts she wasn't prepared to fight off.
    In a panic, she took off in the direction of the bar. There was no clear-cut goal at the moment, she simply wanted to be able to shift back to her human form and clear her head. Her bear could cover the distance much faster and with less fatigue than her human legs, but even as she moved along, her body began to cry out for him.
    It would be so much easier to give in and be with him, but that did not necessarily mean it was the best choice for her. She still was unsure if the attraction between them was purely physical, or embedded in something deeper, something more meaningful.
    You know that it is. You're just scared to love again.
    She stumbled and nearly fell as the voice cut through all the noise in her head. It was true, Kailee had been burned by a man who had seemed to be everything she needed once before. Burned, beaten and forced to flee with her tail between her leg. Even though everything about Jet screamed that he was better than that, she knew he was still hiding something, that he had something he wasn't willing to share.
    Of course he does, you idiot. Think of the way you've treated him. Who wouldn't be hesitant to mention some things that perhaps they aren't proud of?
    Her inner voice was proving to be irritatingly accurate in its estimation of the situation. She couldn't really fault it, since it was her voice, after all. Unfortunately, all it did was complicate the situation even more. Perhaps after work would prove to be a good time to bring this up to him, to have a frank discussion.
    She pushed through the last of the bushes, knowing that the brown walls of the Quencher were just beyond. It would be nice to shift back to her human form and reign in her bears urges. It was much harder to do when she was in bear form.
    Her bear shouldered its way into the clearing, only to nearly bowl over Jet, who was just getting up from a pose that indicated he had shifted back to his human form merely moments ahead of her arrival. She threw her large body to the side to avoid running him over, tumbling down and crashing into a heap. The graceless fall didn't cause any pain, only serving to further embarrass her.
    The soft chuckle from Jet didn't help the situation either. She shifted back as well, but still lay there unmoving, wishing that she would wake up to find this was all a dream.
    "You know, sometimes I regret the fact that clothing stays intact when we shift," he commented flirtatiously, eyeing her suggestively at the same time. The fire between her legs roared back to life as she saw the way he looked her up and down appreciatively. There was no bigger boost of confidence than having an attractive member of the opposite sex admire her in such a way. Especially when she found herself doing the same thing.
    It was impossible to keep her eyes off him. He wasn't wearing a shirt, exposing generous amounts of skin and muscle to her greedy eyes. She drank it all in, admiring the way his body rippled as he breathed. Each one of his abs was so well defined she could wash clothing off them without trying. As her gaze travelled lower, her eyes widened in surprise.
    His cock was clearly hard, tugging at his jeans, begging to be set free. Kailee found herself biting her lip, desperately curious to see just how big he was. The air between them became thick with desire as both parties admired the other. The way Jet had kissed her the night before boded well for the other things he could do with his mouth, and she wanted to experience that now.
    The barriers were falling, her desires overwhelming any last resistance to his charms as the sheer power of his sex became clear to her. Kailee nervously reached down to her waist, fumbling awkwardly with the buttons that kept her pants on. She saw the way his eyes focused on her, his renewed attention the cause for her increased breathing and heart rate.
    He walked over to
