Too hot to handle

A light shift in the bed caused Joslyn's eyes to quickly shoot open. {Please, heavens above…. Please, please, please…. Let it be a squirrel, a bug… anything but a wolf!} She nervously turned her head to the side as her eyes adjusted to the brightness in the room. The first thing her eyes landed on was messy blonde hair and pointed werewolf ears. She quickly jumped up, getting her foot tangled in the sheets and fell backward out of bed. "Ahwww!" she exclaimed as she landed hard on her bottom.

Shelly's laughter echoed from the bed as she poked her head over the edge to look down. Joslyn laid sprawled out on the floor, still tangled in the sheets. "What was that all about?" she asked between girly giggles. Her laugh cut off as her eyes settled on a muddy paw print in the carpet beside where Joslyn had landed. "Is that a paw print?" She glanced from the mud to Joslyn, "Was Russ in here last night?"

Joslyn could feel her face heat as she quickly turned and bolted from the room. 'ka-wham!' as soon as she stepped out into the hallway her foot slipped in something slimy in the hallways and down she went.

Shelly stepped out of the room carefully avoiding the vomit Joslyn was currently laying in the middle of, still only wearing her underwear and thin robe. "Yea… I came in to warn you about this, but you bolted before I could say anything." Shelly looked down at the mess surrounding Joslyn before adding, "I guess Russ drank a little too much last night…. Again…" He threw up all over our bathroom too." Raven's in there right now cleaning it." She snarled her nose as Joslyn tried to stand up. "So gross!" She pinched her nose and pointed to Russ's room, "You could always use Russ's bathroom. I think he's in his room right now, but I'm sure he wouldn't mind if you used it."

"No!" Joslyn exclaimed. She blushed as she stood and walked toward the kitchen. "Just make sure he doesn't come out of his bedroom until I'm done in the kitchen."

"Ok, whatever you say?!" Shelly answered shrugging her shoulders.

Joslyn laid on her back on her clothing cluttered bed, running her fingers along the jagged edge of the large conch shell she kept on her nightstand. She had grown quite bored over the last 2 hours as her roommate and best friend, Shelly, now dug through and tried on every item in her closet; after finding nothing of satisfaction in her own.

"You could always try Raven's closet, she has better party clothes than me anyways," Joslyn commented as another dress came flying out of the open double doors.

Shelly popped her head out from one corner of the closet, a horrified expression playing across her cherub-like face, "You're joking, right? I'm trying to land a drummer, not some S&M sex-freak."

Joslyn set up in the bed and carefully placed the shell back on the stand, shrugged her shoulders and released a heavy sigh. "Her wardrobe isn't that bad. Well, it is, but you could always mix hers with yours… Anyways, drummers are usually pretty kinky." another skirt came flying out of the closet and landed on her foot. Wiggling her toes to dislodge the garment, Joslyn continued to speak, "Or mix it with mine, I guess."

Her eyes landed on a muddy paw print, probably left by Russ the night before. Werewolves were so messy. Granted Shelly and her brother Russ were the only ones she had ever known well; they were both messy as hell. Frowning, Joslyn watched as her favorite shoes joined the mixed items now scattered across the floor.

A light slam of a door down the hall drew Joslyn's attention to the bedroom door. Their other roommate Raven had finally finished with the hall bathroom and it was now Joslyn's turn to shower; and after this morning, a shower would never feel better! The apartment had two bathrooms, but one was in the master bedroom. The girls had decided to give it to Russ since no one wanted to share a bathroom with him. It was never uncommon for Russ to come home from a full moon night covered in one disgusting thing or another. It was really no wonder werewolves were known as and often called dogs. Last month they had to flea bomb the whole apartment after Russ had gone out 'frolicking' in a park used for walking dogs.

Shaking her head, Joslyn grabbed the outfit she had laid out before hurricane Shelly had hit her room and headed for the door saying, "I'm going to go shower, see if Raven has anything, um, less Raven like. I'm sure you can come up with something between the three of us."

Joslyn had only been in the shower long enough to get her hair nice and lathered with shampoo when she heard the door burst open and the sink turned on. She jumped, screamed and moved to avoid the now scalding water. "Shit!" was the only words she could muster as Joslyn fell backward out of the shower, taking the shower curtain with her. She braced herself for a painful impact, but surprise flooded her as strong hands grabbed her and the curtain.

***

"Sorry, I didn't mean to come in on you." Russ tried to avoid looking directly at her sleek with water, body but his eyes continued coming back to her plump breast protruding from the top of the shower curtain she had wrapped around her body. "But Raven put hot sauce in my beer again and this was the closest bathroom." He let go of her with one hand, running a hand through his hair as he continued trying to avoid looking in her direction. He lightly and uncomfortably chuckled. {God, how many times have I wanted to see her like this? I really should thank Raven.}

Joslyn struggled with the curtain to get untangled but slipped and fell into him again. She face-planted into his bare chest. His thoughts were cut off as she pressed her hand against his abdomen to regain balance. The water from the shower curtain had soaked through his gym shorts making the white material nearly see-through. His hands tightened around her arms as she watched the noticeable growth of his manhood beneath the wet material. {Oh god not again.} She couldn't even look up at his face. Without looking, she gently pushed him back toward the open bathroom door. "You should go change. I got you wet."

With a quick inhale and a dog like sniff, Russ replied, "I think I got you wet, too." His hands extended out toward her, catching her arm again.

Shocked beyond words, Joslyn finally looked up into his eyes. His eyes sparkled and danced with an odd combination of arousal and animalistic animation.

"Bahahahaaahaa!!! I only meant to prank Russ but looks like it was a 2 for 1 deal today!" Raven busted out in a hysterical fit of laughter from the door. "I couldn't have planned this better if I tried!" she erupted as she clutched her ribs.

Russ glared at her. "How did I ever survive with you as my guardian all these years?"

“The fuck if I know!?” Raven gave him finger guns playfully.

“This isn’t over.” He bent and whispered into Jos’s ear before beating a hasty retreat out of the bathroom. Russ grumbled as he made his way down the hallway to his room.

Raven erupted in even harder laughter as she watched him slam his door.

"How much of that did you catch?" Joslyn asked as she continued to untangle the shower curtain.

"OH, baby! I caught it all!!!!" Raven exclaimed. Joslyn splashed water from the still running sink onto Raven. "Oh baby, you're making me all WET!" By this time Raven was laughing so hard that she had to clutch the door frame just to keep from falling onto the ground. "OH man! Bahahaha, I think I just peed a little!"

Joslyn rolled her eyes as she slammed the door with the hope of catching at least one of Raven's fingers. "Please, someone kill me now!"

Once Joslyn finished, she found Raven in her room deciding on the finishing touches to her outfit. "Can I talk to you for a minute?" Joslyn asked.

Raven looked up for the box she was going through. "Yea, sure come on in… Just don't get my bed wet." She winked at Joslyn.

"Haha, very funny. Anyways, about that." Joslyn flopped down on the bed. "What do I do?"

"What do you want to do?" Raven purred in a mock sexy voice. She held a necklace up against her chest then shook her head and put it back into the box before pulling out another one.

Jos Rolled her eyes, "I'm being serious."

Raven set the jewelry and box aside as she turned toward Jos. "Well, first off, what exactly is going on? All I've seen, other than the shower thing, is him transforming a lot and drinking even more." Raven said as she moved over to the bed beside Joslyn.

With a large sigh, Joslyn dove straight into the craziness of the past 2 months. "Since the twins' birthday in April, they have both been going through massive changes. However, Russ is… oh god…." Joslyn turned red just thinking about what she was getting ready to admit to her friend.

Raven snickered, "Russ is?... Come on spit it out."

"Russ has…. Targeted me as his potential mate… He confessed his love, and even went as far as to say he's loved me this whole time…" Joslyn's words trailed off as she thought about what all had followed that confession. "He's tried kissing me more times than I even want to count. He came into my room in wolf form, transformed back into human form while in my room and… and…" Joslyn lifted her eyes back up to meet Raven's gaze. "I woke up with him over top me licking my neck last night."

Raven shrugged, "Well you know when werewolves turn 18, they go into overdrive and it will be that way until they are fully matured at 21. Is it so odd that he would feel that way toward you? The question is…." Raven held Joslyn's gaze as she asked, "Are you attracted to him?"

Joslyn's mouth flew open then closed quickly. She blushed heavily as she admitted for the first time her true feelings, "He's beautiful…" Joslyn stared at a stray fiber of blanket as she thought about Russ. "Last night…. He was on top of me immediately after a transformation. I…. I… pressed my hands against his chest to stop him from kissing me, but…. His chest… the muscles were so hard under the softest, smoothest skin. Even after he got out of the bed, the way the light played across his bare body… then when he was leaving…. OMG… His ass…. And those damn wet shorts!" Joslyn moved her gaze back to Raven's. "If it's not bad enough, he says things that make my toes curl!"

Raven laughed lightly, a thoughtful look on her face, "His body is quite mature, even for a werewolf. I'd be lying if I said I've not had a dirty thought or two myself." She shrugged again, "And I’m gay AND his guardian!" she sent Joslyn a knowing look, "You are not."

"But I've known him since he was a baby." Joslyn indicated his once small size with her hand as she continued, "I've even changed his diaper before!" Joslyn sighed heavily, "Besides, you know good and well there could never be a future between him and I." despair filled her words.

"Ok, soooooo…. What are you going to do?" Raven asked. "The way I see it you only really have two options: give in or find a distraction."

"There's only one option and you know that…." With a stern look, Joslyn declared, "Find a distraction!"

By the time Raven, Shelly, and Joslyn were ready, Russ had already drunk several cans of beer and several other assorted drinks he had found in the back of the fridge. The resulting empty cans and bottles were piled all over the coffee table in the center of the living room. Joslyn shook her head, as she walked into the kitchen where Shelly was staring at the flyer hanging on the fridge. It advertised a beach party, featuring a top-notch local band. Shelly had been somewhat of a groupie to the band for some time now but still hadn't won the eye of the drummer she liked.

"Think tonight will be the night?" Joslyn asked as she walked up beside her friend, her head directed toward the flyer, but her lash vailed eyes trained on her friend's face. Joslyn could watch the play of emotions play across Shelly's face: longing, hurt, desperation, need. Joslyn felt horrible for her friend, she frequently chose unavailable or uninterested men and frequently, giving in to the hurt and rejection, ended up settling for the first jerk who approached her. "You look really nice." Joslyn said, in the hopes of cheering up her friend. There was something about werewolves that went hormonally batshit crazy when they hit maturity, which hit these twins like a wrecking ball 2 months ago. Think the gods their instincts were for breeding and not just sex and romance, Joslyn didn't think she could stand having both siblings coming onto her so aggressively.

Shelly finally pulled her gaze away from the flyer and smiled at Joslyn, "Do you really think so?" hope colored her words and lit up her face.

"Oh yes, beautiful! He'd have to be a blind idiot to ignore you tonight." Joslyn said as she let her eyes explore the clothing her friend finally settled on. Shelly wore Joslyn's blue jean mini skirt, Ravens lace up to the knee sandals, and one of Russ's band t-shirts. It was a crazy mix, to say the least. Joslyn looked away from her friend and toward the living room as Russ fell over the coffee table knocking over the cans and bottles. "Not it!" Joslyn and Shelly yelled at the same time.

"No fair, I'm not even in the same room!" Raven yelled out from her doorway down the hall. The girls had begun calling 'not it' to avoid cleaning up Russ's messes. The last one to call 'not it' had to clean up the mess, because left up to Russ it wouldn't get cleaned. "Plus, I cleaned the bathroom this morning!"

"Screw it, we'll do it together after the party. Let's go!!!" Shelly exclaimed excitedly as she skipped quickly to the door.
