a little F U N wouldn't hurt ---* [OPEN]

[squishy4]

Autumn's first kiss was exciting but she was not expecting she would react like this. But he did catch her by surprise and she happened to be in the middle of channeling her magic. Her concentration was broken and she grew out of control. But thankfully she was able to quickly regain herself, only because she had been using simple magic. If she had attempted something a little harder, she might of not been able to pull out of her dark state. Now he knew what she was, and also knew there was a dark side to it. Autumn wasn't one to abuse her power. She feared if she used to in excess amounts she would lose herself, finally going insane. But yet she would find herself going insane already. His kiss was electrifying as it was sensual. Autumn never wanted her first kiss to happen this way, hell she didn't want to push Martyn across the room breaking his furniture but she also would never trade this experience for anything different.

She helped him up the best she could, but then again she wasn't as strong as he was. “Guess that’s what I get for kissing a beautiful woman huh?” This made her cheeks turn as red as his back from hitting the wall and chair. He seemed to be good at this, whatever he was doing to Autumn. Her body went slightly numb and she felt tingly all over. Her heart was pounding rapidly in her chest and she found it hard to breath normal again as if he had taken all the breath out of her. It could of been the left over energy coursing through her body but she knew what that felt like. This feeling was not familiar to her, so she wasn't sure exactly what it was. But she was willing to find out. “Are you ok?” He asked her as if she had been the one thrown across the room. It warmed her heart to know he was a very protective person. Because at the moment, whether Autumn wanted to admit it or not, she needed alot of protection. From the outside world and from herself.

"I'm fine. I just lost myself for a moment. Got distracted...lost focus. It won't happen again. I promise. And I'll pay for the chair. I don't mean to come into your home and break you're stuff."

[/b] she said, kind of worried she might of made a bad first impression of herself. "But....if it's any consolation to you... I enjoyed it. Alot." she said with a soft smile as she looked up to him and gently placed her hand on top of his.[/blockquote][/blockquote]

Martyn let his hands lightly slide up Autumns arm and cup her cheek with the velvet touch of his tiger side. He could be soft when he wanted to, it was from his tiger side holding him tight and it wasn’t all bad. His eyes reached deep into hers and as his one hand moved to her cheek the other slid to her hip. It wasn’t in any sexual way, more of a soft touch to reasure her he would hold her. He was beginnning to lose himself in this Human. She had taken a side of him out that he had never shown or even knew was there. He didn’t know why but he enjoyed this feeling more then changing and he had to admit it was starting to make him not want it to leave.

“I enjoyed it to, I mean the being thrown was a bt of a shock..” He said shock with a grin to tease her but ment nothing else by it. “But the fact that I’ve never kissed another woman like I just kissed you….I guess that was one of my favorite moments.” The words sounded so odd coming out of his mouth and he had no clue how she would take them. Maybe he was making a fool out of himself at that moment, maybe not but he started to feel himself drift back into that dream like state that he had been in when he had kissed her before. His head leaned down slowly and before he could stop himself once more his lips were lightly touching hers and his harms wrapped losely around her waist tugging her lightly closer to him.

[squishy4]

There was no other feeling than the kiss and touch of a man. Even if he was a stranger Autumn was content with just being close to him even if only for a moment. There was a sudden urge to want to plant her lips firmly on his again. To just give him all of her, heart, body and soul. But no, Autumn still had yet to know more about this perfect stranger and his life. She had to be careful though. Yes their deepest secrets had been revealed to each other but Autumn still had quite a few more secrets. The fact that Autumn was a criminal put pressure on Autumn's already heavy shoulders. She now knew he wouldn't freak about her being a witch, he was a tiger for christs sakes. She didn't think it was possible, but it was. Mother Nature surprised her once again. But she wondered how he would react to the other, more realistic aspects of her secret life. She didn't know if he had values against crime and stealing, but she wasn't ready to find out. Not just yet.

His hand on her skin felt like fire, but instead of burning her it only ignited the fire that laid dormant inside her. “I enjoyed it to, I mean the being thrown was a bt of a shock..” Her cheeks went rosy and the corner of her lips reached up to her ears as she broke eye contact. She was still lightly embarrassed by it but now it didn't bother her as much. "Again. I'm sorry for that." she said with a soft laugh as she looked back up to his soulful brown eyes. She could get lost in his eyes without even realizing she was starring at him as if he was in his tiger form. “But the fact that I’ve never kissed another woman like I just kissed you….I guess that was one of my favorite moments.” This made her slightly bow her head, breaking eye contact with him again. It was hard for Autumn to believe he hadn't been with anyone else. He was young, charming, sweet, and not to mention sexy. But he probably would of thought the same thing about Autumn. To tell you the truth this was her first kiss. Period. When she was younger she never had the time or care for dating and it wasn't until now she had actually found someone worth loosing her innocence over. But before she could speak his soft lips were touching herself and in an instant she felt like she was floating up to the clouds. And she would of if he didn't hold his arm around her waist, keeping her feet planted firmly on the ground. She didn't exactly know what this feeling was but she didn't want to fight anymore.

Martyn felt Autumn let go and kiss him back. He didn’t know how to go from there but the fact that he wanted her to be his was all he could think about. Yes there was still so much to descuss, there was his past, her past, LIFE. But that very moment none of it mattered. All that really did was the fact that his arms had slowly snaked themselves around her waist, the fact that her body was so close to his that no air could separate them, and the fact that at that moment, she was all he would ever need forever. This feeling of ecstesy was beyond anything he could ever imagine and it wasn’t until they’re lips seemed to part and he lightly rest his forehead on hers, gazing deep in her eyes, did he catch his breath.

“Some night huh?” It was a goofy thing to say as a silly smile crossed his face. He couldn’t calm himself at that moment. He felt gitery and almost nervous. This was all so new to him and the fact that she was willing to be this close to him made it all the better. It could be said that the Tiger, the lone, rogue tiger who had ran from the hell of his path to find new life, might had found more then he bargained for this night. For instead of keeping low and keeping quiet Martyn Aris might hacve found the one thing he wanted most without even realizing it. He didn’t know what to call it. He didn’t even know if it was love, deffinatly not lust, even though there was A LOT of wanting. No, this was something he had never experienced in all his days, and unless he was mistaking, he couldn’t see it happening with anyone else.

[squishy4]

She was scared. Scared that she was getting too close and that was something she could not do to anyone at the moment. Her job depended on it, she couldn't afford any distractions and interferences, one reason why she never tried to date. Whether he wasn't fully human or not she couldn't risk his involvement with her get out into the open. She didn't know alot of normal people here as you would say. Mostly criminals just like her and she knew if they found out any of her weaknesses they would use it against to. Competition was stiff, there was no telling what people would do just for a little bit of money. But Autumn knew all too well and she didn't want anything happening to the important people in her life. Not only did she worry about the other thieves the government held a heavy burden on her shoulders. If they were to find her somehow, through her connections she would have to run again. Jail was not what Autumn wanted to experience and she would do everything she could to avoid that. She could just be thinking too much on the subject, but that she couldn't help.

Her trance was broken once thier lips parted. “Some night huh?” He was right. She would never forget it nor did she want to. But the overwhelming feeling of regret settled in. She didn't regret meeting him, no she could never feel that way. But with her life being the way it was she couldn't see herself with anyone right now. There was too much risk, for the both of them. Oh how bad she wanted to though, to finally be able to come home to someone after a long day and share all her worry's with. Her secrets and desires, to hold her like no other would. Martyn looked to be that person, but could she handle it all? Could he? That she wasn't certain about. With a soft smile she signed. She had to stop herself now before she completely lost herself into him. Pulling away she walked over to the middle of the room and pulled out her phone. She didn't know why, maybe she just felt awkward in a sense. Either way she had to figure out if she wanted to follow her heart...or her head.

When she pulled away Martyn immediately thought he had done something wrong. She looked troubled and that only made him feel worse. The moment they had just shared had been something that he had never ever had before and he wanted nothing more then to have Autumn as his own. She spoke of a little girl that was her sister and how she tried to take care of her. Hell, Martyn had money, more then he needed. More then most countries needed. He could help her in any way possible.

“Autumn…..are you ok?” His voice was still soft and caring. It was the only way it seemed he could talk around her all of the sudden. He had actually found someone who ment something to him outside being a family member. No, Autumn was no family member to him in anyway, she was different….somethign he couldn’t explain. As he moved closer his hand reached out to her until he was again touching her cheek, caressing it so that she was again looking into his eyes. He didn’t know why but he felt hopeless when he couldn’t look into them. She had captured him and what ever she wanted him to do he would do it willingly and with no change in mind.

“Tell me, you can tell me anything.” His other hand het her arm and stroked it softly and caringly. She looked so upset and distraught that he himself feeling the same way.

[squishy4]

Her phone lightly rolled between her hands as she took a moment to catch the breath he had stolen from her. Just like she stole from countless people in her short life time. Her mind was reeking havoc in her head, she couldn't make up her mind if now was the best time to tell him. She knew she couldn't tell him everything, for the fear of being turned it or even a crazy look would make her regret her decision. But her thoughts were whipped clean from her mind the moment his hand touched her face. It was hard to lie to him now, before she hardly knew him making it easier. She still didn't really know him but did know this. If he still hadn't run away from her before who was she to say he would again. “Autumn…..are you ok?” No. She wasn't okay but of course he could see that just by the look on her face.

“Tell me, you can tell me anything.”

[/i] She let out another sign before moving his gaze from her hands to his eyes. They seemed to look right through her and into her soul, making it even harder to hold everything back but she had no choice. More than just herself was in Autumn's hands and she couldn't make stupid decisions. "I...I can't. You already know too much. Theres....too much risk. I'm sorry." she had trouble speaking, the words were broken as her voice was shaky. Before she could even think she pulled herself away and rushed towards the door but stopped herself when her hand touched the knob. She could of told him, but at the last minute decided not too. Even though her heart was screaming out for him, she still didn't feel comfortable enough to tell him. Not everything atleast. But something was stopping her from walking out that door. She didn't know what but it held a firm grip on her and showed no signs of letting go.[/blockquote][/blockquote]

Martyn watched Autumn almost run to the door. He was shocked and hurt all at the same time. He didn’t know why it hurt to watch her not want to tell him what was hurting her and watching her run. Maybe he was falling for her more then he at first thought. Could she actually have hold of him? Something that had never happened before? When she stopped though, standing at that door, looking at it with her hand inches from the knob a small bit of hope touched him.

“Autumn,” His words were the softest and most caring he had spoken to her all night. He was starting to accept that he had deep feelings for her. Yeah it might have only been a day since they had met but he was starting to really care about her in a way he and not cared about anyone else. “I will understand. You and I have a connection; I don’t really know what to call it but….” Martyn made steps toward her, reaching out his hand toward hers, wanting nothing more than to hold her hand and pull her to him where he was starting to realize she might feel more safe.

“I know it’s there, and I know you can trust me.” They’re hands met and he slowly and lightly slid both his hands around hers, caressing it and kissing the back of her hand lightly. He was hoping he might get her to turn around, to face him, hell to even look at him and realize he would do anything for her. He hoped these thoughts were showing themselves inside his eyes. He was begging her to let go, to talk to him and to not stop until she was completely free of whatever burden she held so tightly to.

“Autumn, I would never leave your side, not unless you sent me away.”

[squishy4]

What was stopping her from turning the knob and walking out the door? Well for one thing her car was in a completely different town and at the moment she couldn't teleport, although at the current moment she wished she knew how to. But she had an aching feeling in the pits of her stomach, making her feel almost nauseous. It felt like there was an invisible rope around her and keeping her from moving another step. Was it him? Or just the overwhelming feeling of needing someone to talk to, to tell all her secrets to so she wouldn't feel completely alone anymore. She just didn't know.

“Autumn,”

[/i] His voice was gentle but it still cut her like a razor blade. Even though he wasn't doing it on purpose, he was making it harder on her. Closing her eyes and lowering her head she could feel her throat growing dry, beads of tears peeked out from the crease of her eyes, settling on her eyebrows. She tried her hardest not to cry, she didn't want to. “I will understand. You and I have a connection; I don’t really know what to call it but…. I know it’s there, and I know you can trust me.” His fingers snaked around her hand and brought it to his lips. His touched soothed her, as they did the first time his skin touched her's, but she was too nervous for it too help her as much as she needed. She let out a sign and swallowed thinking the knot in her throat would go away, it didn't.

Once she felt like she wouldn't burst out into tears the moment she opened her eyes she turned her head and looked at him with semi-glossy eyes. “Autumn, I would never leave your side, not unless you sent me away.” Turning around so her back was leaning against the door, she wrapped her hands around the doorknob but had no intentions on leaving right now. Her eyes never left his and with another deep breath she was finally able to think clear enough to speak. "Even if I'm a wanted criminal?" she said in a hushed tone, but really recognizing what she had said at first. Now it was too late, she had to tell him now. That or just run. But even still she couldn't move from her spot. "Would you still think of me as this 'innocent girl' if I told you I stole for a living. And not just small petty stuff. Multi million dollar pieces of artwork, jewelry, and antiques. You're government doesn't know of me yet, which is why I came here from Australia. But soon enough they will catch on, and I will have to leave...again. I don't....I can't get attached to anyone or anything. I have to watch out for my sister, I live only for her." The more she spoke the more nervous she got, meaning now the beads of tears were slowly sliding down her rosy cheeks. She bit her lip and held her breath. This was most she had said to anyone and now she wasn't sure how he would react. Of course he already knew of her other secret, which to most would be the most valuable. But this was different and she feared he would change his mind about her and turn her in.[/blockquote][/blockquote]

Admittedly Martyn was confused at first. She was a wanted criminal? His Autumn? Yet as she spoke her words began to make sence. The way she moved, the way she always seemed to look nervous. It all seemed to fit to perfectly. He couldn’t believe he hadn’t seen it before, yet at the same time he did understand. Autumn had a secret that could end her and even put her sister at risk. She lived a life of crime that even scared her to the point that she couldn’t stop. The next words he spoke were words that came from instinct alone. He had no time to think about what he said.

“My family killed humans for food, I tried to stop them and ended up with all these scars. They were all killed for what they did and only me and my sister are alive. I was gone before it happened but Sira was there. I know what you mean when it comes to loyalty to those in trouble.” His hand cupped Autumns face as he kissed her lips.
“And my loyalty to you will not die with this news. If anything, it makes me wonder why you cannot live here. I have more money then you could ever get from thieving.” Yeah, they had just met that day and yeah she was a international criminal. It was just Martyns luck that he would fall in love for someone who was more dangerous then him. Yet as he thought about it more and more he started to realize that he wouldn’t have Autumn any other way.

[squishy4]

Autumn was terrified at the moment. More so than when she had lost control with her magic and feared she might of hurt him. She was expecting him to freak out or lecture her for it, she couldn't help but think that way, it was more of a habit than anything. But what he said shocked her even more than she was expecting. “My family killed humans for food, I tried to stop them and ended up with all these scars. They were all killed for what they did and only me and my sister are alive. I was gone before it happened but Sira was there. I know what you mean when it comes to loyalty to those in trouble.” Okay, it was one thing to be able to transform into a fucking tiger, but to be a cannabal as well? Autumn was well aware of the way animals lived and ate, but to eat people that was just sick. But it did ease her tension to hear that he was not like them, but she was still a bit fearful of his sister who as far as she was concerned at the moment did.

His hands felt warm on her wet cheeks and his kiss was as soft as his voice. “And my loyalty to you will not die with this news. If anything, it makes me wonder why you cannot live here. I have more money then you could ever get from thieving.” She couldn't hold his family's issues against him, just like he wouldn't do the same for her with her line of work. But to move in with him? Autumn trusted him alot more than she did earlier, but she still felt cautious around him, more so out of habit. "I....Martyn I like you...I really do. But to move in with you? After only a day of meeting you? I think I need more time than that. How about we go on a few dates first and then we'll see where it takes us." she said with a faint smile, her anxiety now gone she stopped from shaking. If she was going to make an attempt at a normal....well semi normal life then she wanted to take her time. She didn't want to screw things up on her first true relationship.

[martyn]

Martyn felt slightly foolish and showed it with the slightly sheepish grin his face.

"Your right, I guess I was just trying to find an idea to get you out of the trouble your in. It's what I do best." He felt like a fool, they had just met that day and he was already suggesting that
her little sister and her move in? Yes he did have strong feelings toward her and Martyn was not going to deny that in that in the slightest but he knew better didn't he?

He backed away slightly, letting his eye drift towards the floor. He now officially felt weird, only the words about wanting to go on dates and actually get to know each other more made him feel any kind of better. She still wanted to be with him. Even with his strong advance, yeah that made him feel better, yet some how he had this feeling that she might still be alittle weary of him for a bit. That he would have to change, but he knew well that he could change that. A scilent prayer came to mind. Words of wisdom being asked from God for Martyn at that moment.

"How about this," Martyn said as he returned his eyes to Autumns with a sly grin on his face. "I want you to meet my sister. You to are kinda in common." Then a thought popped in his mind. The way Autumns eyes had widened when he had spoke of his family. A smirk came to his lips and he shook his head.

"And no, She won't eat you."

[sira]

Sira was just starting to adjust to this place. THis infernal place of eternal rain and overcast days. Now, Sira didn't hate the rain, but when it rained, it ruined dry clean only clothes. That was annoying. But today it was only sunny, with no threat of rain. Perfect for a shopping trip.

When Sira finally decided to crawl out of bed, Martyn was gone. Go figure. It was the missing bike and complete silence in the house that clued her in. No wonder she was able to sleep in. That put a smile on her face. SHe was free to do as she pleased.

Dressing quickly, Sira had to giggle at herself. She was a weretiger, and she was wearing tiger print clothes and tiger eye jewelry. Martyn would have shook his head at her. But she thought it was ironic and funny at the same time. So she grabbed the keys to her new car and left for Seattle.

The day spent shopping, was quite fun. As it stood she definitely added to her wardrobe. Martyn said she needed to blend in. That meant she shouldn't wear so many exquisite dresses. So formals were out for the most part. The more normal clothes she bought today would suffice, but she didn't like it. She had the money to do as she pleased, why wouldn't he let her. Oh right, she was laying low.

Driving back was slow and boring. People really needed to learn to drive. She breathed a sigh of relief when she finally made it home. She smiled softly when she saw her brother's bike was home. Martyn was here. This was great. Grabbing her purchases, she made her way inside, her boots clicking with each step. She stopped when she heard the female voice and then Martyn say something about herself. Huh. Little bro brought a girl home.

Sira fixed a smile on her face and came into the house as he spoke about her as if on cue. "So big sister has to meet who?" Sira teased. She knew he hated being reminded that she was older than him. She set her bags down on the table and set down her purse before walking into the room where they were currently occupying. "So, who is your friend?" Sira asked Martyn without looking away from Autumn. She was pretty, blonde, but pretty.

[squishy4]

"Your right, I guess I was just trying to find an idea to get you out of the trouble your in. It's what I do best."

[/i] She let out a sliver of breath as he backed away, giving her some breathing room. Her hand let go of the door knob and moved away from the door and a step closer to him. The look on his face told her he was slightly ashamed of jumping right into the idea of her moving in. She was tempted, of course but she was smarter than that. Even though she felt her feelings for him growing with every passing second, she still had her limitations.

"How about this,"[/i] Her eyes lit up and widened, curious as to what he will say next. It seemed that everything that came out of his mouth interested her but also make her squirm in her skin. Her opinions on what he was didn't change her feelings for him, but they sure as hell did make her feel a bit uneasy towards his sister now that she had learned his families diet may as well be the same people she has met or worked with. But she still did wonder if he has ever done it before himself. . "I want you to meet my sister. You to are kinda in common." Autumn slightly smiled at this. She hoped she could get along with his sister for if she didn't then her chances with Martyn were slim. "And no, She won't eat you." His last comment though made her laugh, loosening up the tension she was holding in.

Just then she heard the sound of heels approaching the door, followed by the knob turning and the door opening. In walked a woman that Autumn could definitely see was Martyn's sister. They looked alike with the exception her eyes were blue and his brown, and the fact she didn't have scars on her face like Martyn's but nevertheless was pretty. "So big sister has to meet who?" the woman said as she walked into the house with shopping bags in her hands. Autumn never really went shopping. She had the money, just didn't have the time or patience for it. When she was younger she was a tom boy anyway so shopping wasn't really her way of relaxing. Although she loved spa's, what girl wouldn't. "So, who is your friend?" Extending her hand out to give her a proper greeting she smiled and nodded her head. "Hi, I'm Autumn." she said warmly. But the moment she touched her hand a black and white scene flashed through her eyes, blinding her for a few seconds. What she saw was not as pleasant as she had wanted it to be. Large beasts covered in dirt and blood, screams and cries filled her ear drums and for a moment she felt like she was being ripped apart piece by piece. But it left as quickly as it came and now she was left standing there awkwardly with her hand still holding Sira's. Her eyebrows furrowed as she let go of her hand and tucked it back into her pants pocket. Her head was now pounding and she was more confused than anything. She knew what just happened and understood what she saw, whenever she touches someone or something that still has a strong effect on them she can see it, but only for a few seconds and not without consequences. Then she wondered why it hadn't happen with Martyn, especially when he kissed her. But then she thought he must of not been around when that happened, meaning there was nothing for her to see in him...at the moment. Autumn felt just as foolish as Martyn now, and was convinced she just made herself look like a fool in front of both of them. Now embarrassed and with a migraine she pulled out her phone only for it a second later to ring. It was Summer's babysitter and Autumn let out a small sign of relief. She didn't answer it though, she already knew what she was calling for. Walking over to the couch she grabbed her bag and walked back to the door quickly. "I'm sorry but I have to go. It was really nice meeting you." she said with a small smile to Sira before turning back to Martyn. "Is it okay if you take me back to my car?" She turned to the door and opened it before he could say anything. "I'll wait for you outside." she rushed before closing the door and hurrying to his bike. She just wanted to get away from here, she wasn't entirely scared but after actually seeing it happen before her eyes left her pretty shook up.[/blockquote][/blockquote]

[martyn]

Martyn had heard his sister come into and was pleasantly surprised when he saw Autumn and Sira exchanging pleasantries. Yet when he saw that what seemed like an electric shock was sent into Autumn Martyn Immediately went to her side and held her hand lightly. His eyes reached to hers inquiringly but she backed away and pulled out her phone just as it began to ring. She then began to talk about having to leave and Martyn guessed that whatever happened mixed with whoever was calling, He guessed her little sister, was making her have to go. Yes his heart faltered, he didn't want her to leave when this was such the perfect time for her to meet his sister....but if she had to.

Martyn looked over at Sira and shrugged as he grabbed his keys.
"I'll explain when I get home ok?" Before she could answer he was out the door and walking towards Autumn. She seemed so shaken up and looked as if she wouldn't be ready to talk for a bit. He needed to remember to ask her about it later. They were together and with every moment Martyn was finding it easier and easier to believe he could be with her without loosing her. Right now though he believed she wanted to go home so he got on his bike after her and cupped her face lightly.

"When your ready I want you to tell me ok? I'm not going to pressure you but that kind of made me worried for you in there." With that he kicked his bike into life shot into the night.
