Chasing His Bunny
door. 
It wasn't until Bailey tugged on Bethany's arm that she realized
she was staring after him, even as the door
closed. 
    Clearing her throat, Bethany refocused
on her sister.  "I'm sorry, sweetie, what's wrong?"
    "No, I'm sorry," Bailey said, her
voice high and tight.  "I'm sorry I interrupted your date... I
just..."  Her voice trailed off, her dark eyes looking even
more fevered.  She clung tighter to Bethany.
    "It wasn't a date, there's no
problem," Bethany reassured her baby sister.  "Just tell me
what's wrong."
    "I need to go outside," Bailey
whispered. 
    To someone else that wouldn't seem
like an emergency, but Bethany understood immediately.  Even
though she and her brothers had shielded Bailey from as much as
they could in the lab, Bailey knew what her siblings turned
into.  She'd been so worried and stressed about not knowing
that it had finally been easier to tell, and then show, her. 
Her imagination had conjured up even worse horrors, so once she
knew about the things residing inside her siblings, she'd actually
been able to calm down.  
    However, now that she was one of them,
she wouldn't want anyone else seeing when she changed. 
Bethany understood that completely.
    "Okay," Bethany said, taking a deep
breath while her mind raced.  "Okay... I'm going to ask Steele
if there's somewhere we can go."  Bailey whimpered.
 "Don't worry, I won't let him come."  It was a relief to
be able to blame that on Bailey, even though if she was being
honest with herself, she knew that she was really just afraid that
Steele might reject her if he saw what she had become.  The
utter wrongness of it.  The monster inside of her huffed in
insult, but Bethany ignored the stupid thing.  It had been
slowly becoming more agitated ever since the door had closed
between her and Steele. 
    Going over to the door, she ignored
its happiness as she poked her head out and stared at Mr.
Too-Enticing-For-My-Own-Good.  The scent of him filled her
nostrils almost immediately, making her nipples pucker, her pussy
cream, and her resentment soar.  The effect he had on her made
no sense... shouldn't she be satisfied?  Shouldn't she be
ready to be done with him? 
    Instead, just looking at him gave her
pure pleasure, and she had the strangest intuition that he felt the
same way.  Surely she was reading too much into the expression
on his face.  
    "Is there somewhere private where
Bailey and I can shift and run?  Like, completely private, no
one around to see us."
    Dr. Mansfield and Steele exchanged a
glance.  
    "The woods are pretty big, if she
needs to go out and run; it's not hard to keep to yourself if
that's what you want," Steele explained.  "I can take you to a
starting point that isn't used often."
    "Fine," Bethany said, figuring that at
least they should be able to avoid anyone else who happened to be
out there.  The thing inside of her seemed to think so,
although it whined a bit that she included Steele in "anyone else."
 Dumbass thing, did it really think Steele would like it once
he saw it?
    ******
    As badly as Steele and his wolf wanted
to run with Bethany, he could tell that he wouldn't be welcome in
either form by either his mate or her sister.  It frustrated
him that she still didn't seem to trust him, although his wolf
seemed to be more willing to be patient now that they were
mated.  Not that Bethany showed any signs of recognizing that.
 
    He could sense her, very dimly, in his
head; worry and near-panic anxiety radiating from her as she got
Bailey loaded into his car.  The younger Bunson sister was
trembling all over, but she managed to give Steele a weak smile as
she buckled herself in.  The emotions coming off of Bethany
were so strong that he wondered if she would even notice him inside
of her head.  Or maybe their mating had only worked one
way?
    At any rate, he could tell that right
now, for Bethany, Bailey came first, and so that meant Bailey came
first for him too.  Whatever he needed to
