				April pulled up to their families estate and sighed softly. She let her Explorers' engine run for awhile as she gathered her thoughts. Everything was still a jumbled mess, and somehow, she had to make sense of it all. Her parents were dead and she was sure it hadn't been an accident. They were always so careful, it was impossible to think that some foolish mistake could have lead to their demise. Only pups made careless mistakes. Her parents were no pups. They had been skilled hunters, masters of their art of shifting. Unfortunately, something had happened to throw them off their game, and they had become the hunted.<br><br>A soft choked sob escaped her lips and she finally shut off the motor. Her parents had wanted her to come to this cabin and spend some time with her brother, sort out their belongings and handle the matter of their estate. She was determined to deal with her brother for as long as she needed to, for her parents. She had loved them dearly. Everything they taught her, had done for her, and the gift they had given her, resonated with her in her memories. Of course, she loved her brother too. He never seemed to care much for her though. As the years went by, it became harder and harder to interact with him, to reach out to him, to talk with him about anything related to their true animal nature. Soon, he stopped contacting her and their parents all together. April always figured it was for the best, not knowing what she could even do to make her brother ever be part of the family again.<br><br>Yet here she was, ready to reunite with him. It made her anxious and sad all at the same time. They were two different people, always had been, and now they were surely just as different. April parked her car in the long driveway and noted there was already a car before hers. She knew he was here. Stepping out of the car, she adjusted her light jacket. It wasn't exactly cold, but it had become a force of habit to wear clothes fitting the seasons even if she herself wasn't as subject to them as humans. Her long auburn hair flowed out over her shoulders and rested in her jackets hood. Cool green eyes took in the estate and another soft sigh escaped her lips. Her figure was lean, fit, but every bit as curvy as a womans body should be.<br><br>April made her way to the back and grabbed her bag, easily slinging it over her shoulder. Her feet shakily carried her to the front door. She knocked briefly before making her way inside. "Hello? I'm here." She was sure he already knew, but she couldn't help it. It had been awhile since she had seen her brother. The anxiety only increased the longer she lingered in the doorframe. April didn't know what to expect, nor how she should deal with her brother. He had never really fit in with the family, perhaps never really accepted or appreciated his gift of being a werewolf like she did. It made her heart ache sometimes, to know that her own brother had left home like he did and perhaps, never cared for her the way she did for him. For the most part though, she tried to see past that. Time could do wonders after all.<br><br>She shut the door behind her as she finally stepped into the living room. Their parents estate was a rather large wood cabin in the mountains. It was where they had retired to and it provided them with an easy place to shift and hunt at their leisure. The place had several bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, a spacious kitchen and a large living room complete with fireplace. Her lithe form moved to set her bag on the floor of the living room and she slipped off her jacket. Memories flooded back to her of being a pup, scampering freely across the hardwood floor and sliding around on it as even her wolfen feet struggled for traction. It brought a small smile to her lips. April tossed her jacket on the back of her chair and stretched a bit. With her jacket off, her form was even more pronounced. A v-neck red sweater hugged along her waistline and her full breasts. Her jeans barely seemed to meet the hem of her shirt, hiding the smooth lightly tanned flesh that was her toned stomach. April's boots clicked softly as she turned around some, intending to find her brother and settle in.

				The last thing Vincent wanted in the wake of hearing about the demise of his parents was time to think. Unfortunately, being stuck in an airtight canister elbow to elbow between a wall and another person while soaring several miles in the air at a few hundred miles per hour offers little alternative other than to do just that. It had been a good number of years since he had ventured forth into the world on his own, which had been the same amount of time it had been since he had last seen his family. Every adolescent had trouble adjusting to all the changes they were going through, but Vincent found it especially difficult on account of his lycanthropy. His sister, April, had taken the spotlight as their parents’ favorite and garnered their undivided attention. Seeing the futility in competing with her, he set off on the opposite path by attracting their attention through delinquency and disobedience instead of achievement. Once he started living the life of a rebellious teen, it became a monster that fed upon itself in a vicious cycle of conflict and disobedience ultimately culminating in him leaving the household at his first opportunity with the intention of never looking back.<br><br>But he did look back once he begun to mature into young adulthood. For the first year he wanted nothing to do with his former life, the memories of his perceived oppression still fresh in his mind. It had not been easy scraping a living on his own, getting by as best he could despite how unprepared he had been for the real world. Still, he managed to press through the hardship out of sheer spite and unwillingness to accept defeat. Doing so would only prove his parents right.<br><br>It wasn’t until the second year on his own that he had gained enough wisdom to see the flaws in his thinking during his adolescence. Vincent was beginning to see that he might not have been as right as he had thought during those countless arguments. He was still set upon his decision to live independently, albeit nowhere near as adamantly so, but yielded enough to actually make his first phone call home during Christmas. It had been an ordeal in of itself just to remain composed upon hearing his mother’s voice again. He hadn’t realized how much he had missed his family until that moment. It was only through sheer stubbornness and ego that prevented him from making an actual visit even though he knew deep down how much he wanted to. As the years passed, that desire to reunite with his family only grew as maturity overruled his obstinacy. Still, he did not visit; no longer out of spite, but out of guilt. His own self-doubt had convinced him that he had been the worst child ever to them and was unworthy of their love even after all these years.<br><br>Now that chance to make amends was gone forever and it was only through sheer willpower that he was managing to keep it together. He had an emotional breakdown upon hearing of their fate, the news hitting him harder than anything he had ever experienced in his life. Thankfully, he managed to pull himself together after countless tormented hours so that he could make the trip to their family cabin where he was to meet with April to go over dividing the family assets. All things considered, he didn’t think he deserved anything, but wanted at least one memento of his parents. The main reason he was going, whether or not he would be able to openly admit it, was to avoid making the same mistake with his sister that he had with his parents. He would do everything in his power to reconnect with his sister and reclaim whatever semblance of a family he could.<br><br><hr><br>Vincent was surprised to find that he had been the first to arrive at the cabin when he pulled up in his rental car. It was something he was thankful for, he hadn’t known how long it would have taken him to muster the courage to travel the short distance from his car to the cabin had he known his sister would be waiting for him. Grabbing his duffel, he made his way into the remote dwelling and was instantly hit with a rush of nostalgic memories that nearly dropped him to his knees. Looking back, he realized that some of the best times of his life were spent in that cabin as a pup just getting used to his awkward canine form.<br><br>Drawing in a calming breath, he ran his trembling fingers through the midnight black hair that hung in loose locks to just above his shoulders. He wondered just how many more fond memories he had thrown away because of his adolescent arrogance. “I really made a mess of my life, didn’t I?” With heavy footsteps, he made his way to one of the bedrooms and set his luggage on the mattress before going into the bathroom to drop off his toiletries. As he did so, he caught his reflection in the mirror above the sink and was thankful he didn’t appear to be as much of a wreck as he felt. Most of his features had been inherited from his father; the lush head of black hair, the strong jaw line given a roguish quality with the crop of light stubble that he hadn’t yet shaved off, and of course his toned masculine frame of tight muscle were all traits that he shared with his dad. Like his sister, he had inherited his green eyes from his mother, albeit his were the darkest hue of the three.<br><br>Running his fingers along his cheek, he was considering shaving when he heard the crunching of gravel under a set of tires pulling into the driveway. The meeting with his sister now moments away, Vincent begun to feel his anxiety that had only been a background sensation ever since he landed at the airport.<br><br><em>”Hello? I’m here.”</em><br><br>For a moment, he had wondered if it was really April who had entered since her voice sounded much more womanly than he remembered. Which stood to reason he supposed and it might take a little while to come to terms with the fact she was no longer the pampered princess he had remembered from high school. He now realized that even those memories of here were skewed out of jealousy and immaturity. This was going to be his big chance to make a new start for himself and fill the void in his life that had been empty for so many years. Taking a moment to put on strong façade, he walked into the main room and almost couldn’t believe his eyes. The past several years had been good on April. Very good. He almost couldn’t believe that the beautiful woman before him was the same lanky girl back in high school and he couldn’t prevent his mind from pondering a few fantasies that one shouldn’t about their sibling. Once she turned to face him, his eyes locked with her green hues and he knew without a doubt that it was really April.<br><br>“I literally travel hundreds of miles more than you and I still managed to beat you.” Vincent said with a wolfish grin. “You’re losing your touch.”<br><br>No sooner had those words left his lips than he realized that his attempt to break the ice through humor could be misconstrued as an insult. <em>Smooth, Vincent. Very smooth.</em> Not wanting to let that previous statement just hang in the air he took a few strides closer to her as his smile became more heartfelt if a little uncertain. “You look good, sis. How have you been?” Vincent stopped just a few paces from her, arm hanging slightly outstretched at his hips. His heart and instincts told him to go in for a hug, but his mind warned him that she might be opposed to his touch after all this time. So he stood there looking somewhat awkward, hoping she would be able to read his body language and would accept his invitation for a sibling embrace.

				April turned around and found herself face to face with her brother. There was no denying that the large muscular man before her was the same boy she used to tease during high school. While he was older than her, it was not by much. They were close enough in age that she had been able to tease him and give him a hard time to and from school. Of course, she didn't do it much, worrying all the time that he might take something personal and hate her all that much more. Still, she was his younger sister and loved him dearly, so she tried to keep things as playful as possible.<br><br>His joke struck her a bit odd. She paused a moment, raising an eyebrow lightly in response. After a moment, she let out a soft chuckle, realizing his comment as an attempt at being playful with her. It was so foreign and so unlike the brother she remembered. Despite all the grief she was feeling, the suddenness of his humor made it impossible for her not to giggle. April shook her head lightly, fairly taken off guard. After a moment she smiled softly. "I bet I can still beat you where it counts," she said softly. April was, of course, referring to the fact that when they were children, running as wolves in the woods, she always pulled out all the tricks and managed to beat him in their races. She said nothing of the fact that he probably let her win. <br><br>April took him in again, her expression softening some. He had grown up so much and the years had chiseled their way on his features. She couldn't help but feel a bit sad for her brother, that he had gone out to live on his own while she had stayed with her family. Still, she reminded herself that it had been his choice. No one had made him leave, but everyone knew that he wasn't happy, so it was no surprise when he had hot footed it out of there. She took a slow step forward. Reading his body language, it was obvious that he was open to a hug. The gesture tugged on her heart strings that much more and she felt herself get a bit choked up, but she suppressed it. From the scent in the air between them, she could tell that he was probably as nervous about all this as she was. There was no point in making matters more awkward by crying.<br><br>She opened her arms and closed the distance between them. April felt her heart beating faster. Then finally, the gap was closed and her arms embraced his large frame lightly. She pressed her chest into his and closed her eyes. A soft sigh escaped her lips. "You look so much like dad," she breathed into his chest, holding him to her for a moment longer. April took a deep breath, taking in his scent. While there were traces of a dozen or so random places and people, underneath it all was still the same fresh earthy scent that she had always known as her brother. <br><br>April finally loosened her grip and pulled away from him. It was supposed to be a brief sibling hug, not a means to stir up more grief over their dead parents. She cleared her throat a bit and sniffed softly, further suppressing her tears. "Um, I guess you've already claimed your old room huh?" She asked with a light smile, moving to grab her own bag and jacket. The introduction was out of the way, but her body still held a large mix of emotions that she hadn't quite figured out what to do with. There was sadness over her parents death and, as always, over her brothers leaving the family for so long. Then there was anxiety, over how she was supposed to interact with her brother now that they were both older and fear over what would happen between them if she messed things up or if he left after this like he had before. <br><br>Shaking all thoughts out of her mind for the moment, April took her bag past him and headed off to her own bedroom that was down the hall from his old one. They would most likely share a bathroom like before, but that was alright. Her parents room housed the master bathroom if they needed. Her hips swayed gently with each step, boots clicking softly as she padded her way down the hall. Almost as if one fluid motion, she stopped in front of her bedroom and tossed her bag on to her bed. She watched it bounce a moment before looking back towards her brother. April cleared her throat once more. It was a futile attempt to hide all the emotions she was feeling, all the words that she wanted to say but couldn't. "So...um, what have you been up to Vince?" She asked softly, staring at him with her soft green eyes. A few stray curls had fallen in front of her face for the time, delicately framing her feminine features. April moved back down the hall towards the living room. No reason they should socialize in the hallway after all. Her lithe form eased into the room and took a spot on the couch. <br><br>Her eyes once more looked him over. She never would have guessed that her rag tag brother would turn into such a handsome rugged man. While she kept all those comments to herself, she couldn't deny that he was good looking. His hair hung around his face, subtly hiding his features and hinting at his deep green eyes that he had. The stubble on his chin only enhanced the powerful air that he had always managed to have. She took a deep breath and focused on his words, wanting to genuinely know what he had been doing, where he had been. She hoped that his words would assuage some of her worries and fears that she had about him over the years, and even now.

				A huge weight lifted off his shoulders the moment April willingly accepted his hug.&nbsp; Vincent had been terrified that he had burned that bridge all those years ago, but now he could see that there was still hope to return to what remained of his family.&nbsp; It just seemed right having his sister held close in his arms; he couldn't remember the last time so much significance was contained in such a simple gesture.&nbsp; The mention of his semblance to his father left the impression somebody had reached into his abdomen and twisted everything that was within into a massive knot.&nbsp; It was a bittersweet compliment since he had not been able to make that comparison on his own and in person.&nbsp; Only though considerate effort was he able to resist the urge to let out a sob that desperately clawed at his throat to escape, but was able to mitigate it by tightening his embrace and croaking out a few words.&nbsp; "Thanks...&nbsp; It... feels good to hear that."<br><br>He too took in a deep breath and instantly picked up on the distantly familiar scent of his parents underlying her own natural aroma.&nbsp; Vincent wanted to hold her longer to savor the nostalgia that came with that fragrance, wrapping around his mind like a much needed security blanket.&nbsp; It was one of the few remaining tangible reminders of his family while they were whole and given by how faint it was, their scents probably wouldn't be noticeable after a few more days of regular bathing.&nbsp; Despite his wishes, the hug came to its natural end and they pulled apart from one another.<br><br><em>"Um, I guess you've already claimed your old room huh?"</em><br><br>Vincent let out a warm laugh that had the added benefit of clearing his throat to avoid his voice from cracking when he spoke.&nbsp; "Tradition is tradition, I see no reason in breaking it now."&nbsp; As April gathered her things and set off down the hallway, he took a moment to admire the sort of woman she had become.&nbsp; The gentle sway of her stride was certainly aesthetically appealing and she carried herself with the confidence he always knew her capable of.&nbsp; Reflecting on their brief interactions, he could tell there was an element of awkwardness despite the best intentions of both sides.&nbsp; Still, it went much better than he could have hoped for and it was only natural that it would take a little while to get used to one another again.&nbsp; Only when he heard her ask a question did he realize he must have looked at least slightly foolish standing in the middle of the room staring off into space.<br><br>Following her lead, Vincent sat on the chair adjacent to the side of the couch April had sat on as he spoke.&nbsp; "Well, I'm working two jobs now as a carpenter during the week and a part time bartender during the weekend.&nbsp; The bartending gig is mainly just to provide me with a little extra spending money during the slow times of the construction season.&nbsp; Oh!&nbsp; I finally realized how dumb it was of me to drop out of high school, so I went back for my GED and am now attending a community college as a part time student majoring in Construction Management."&nbsp; A genuine smile graced his lips as he went over his accomplishments.&nbsp; "It took me a while and countless mistakes, but my life is finally back on track even if free time is hard to come by during the spring and fall.&nbsp; What about you?&nbsp; Are you a full-fledged doctor or lawyer yet?"&nbsp; He asked with a light chuckle to the question, though with April he knew there was a very real chance that she would be traveling down such a prestigious career path.&nbsp; She had always been the one geared for success and while slightly envious of that, he couldn't be anything but proud of her for it.

				April adjusted a bit on the couch and stared back at her brother as he spoke. His voice eased across the space between them and struck chords within her that she had tried hard to forget. His voice had gotten deeper, but it just reminded her of how they would talk, however briefly, when they were younger. Though he always seemed to dislike her because of how her parents may have favored her, she still went to him with her problems. He was her big brother after all. Every so often he would take her complaints to heart and see it as an opportunity to cause more mischief by giving payback to the person who gave her hell. Those times they talked though were few and thus, precious. This night seemed no different. Still precious, but she hoped not as few.<br><br>She nodded as he described his accomplishments. A smile curved the corners of her mouth as he said that he had gotten his GED and had two jobs. "Wow Vince, you seem to have really carved out a good life for yourself. I'm so proud of you," she said genuinely. While always sad her brother had left them, she always wondered what he was doing or if he was ok. Only the rare calls he gave during the holidays let her know he was alive. Now, knowing that he wasn't doing too bad on his own, from what it appeared, made her warm from the inside out.<br><br>Then the attention was turned to her. Her smile wavered just a bit. She was always on the right track to be a doctor or lawyer or anything she wanted to be. Her parents would have given her anything, helped her get anything. Still, she had fallen subject to what many women seemed to, many young and dumb women. "Well," she began, looking away for a moment before looking back into his eyes. "I graduated high school with honors and then went into college in English Literature. It was an easy major while I figured out what I really wanted to do. But I got mixed up with this guy...this....stupid guy," she said with a soft chuckle. Hindsight really was 20/20.<br><br>Looking back, there were all the signs that it would be a relationship leading to no where, but he was charming and sweet and treated her like she was the most amazing thing ever. While she never would have put up with physical abuse, being the true animal that she was deep down inside, April endured a good amount of verbal and physical abuse. "I dropped out and went to live with him up North. A year and a half later, I finally kicked him to the curb and moved into our old house, the one on Candlewood, because mom and dad were thinking of retiring up here anyways. They were more than happy to give me a place." April looked away again and shook her head. Even looking back, she knew how dumb of a decision it was. <br><br>"But then I just threw myself into writing. I really enjoyed it when I was in school and I'm trying to get published. It's something I can do from home and I've always done well with my writing. I work part time at a coffee shop to pay what little bills I have, but I don't have to pay anything on the house or my car, so it's a huge weight off my shoulders." She smiled across at her brother. While the whole experience still hurt, mainly because "perfect" people weren't supposed to screw up, she knew she was stronger from the experience. <br><br>April ended it there, not wanting to go into too much detail about the relationship, unless he asked, and didn't want to talk more about their parents. The feeling of awkwardness started to come back as the silence stretched on. She wanted to say something, wanted to ask him why he left, if he hated her, why he had come back, how long was he going to stay, how was he taking their deaths, did he think it was an accident, and a whole slew of other questions, but she found she could only sit there and think of them, not speak them. <br><br>Finally, she cleared her throat some and knew she had to ease some of the tension. "I'm glad to see you Vincent," she said softly, her voice barely a whisper, but cutting the air between them like a knife. "I never did get over you leaving. I know this must be hard for you, and I know this whole thing is awkward, but I just want you to know I'm happy I don't have to go through all this alone." It wasn't all she wanted to say, but it was something, and it was there, laying out in the open for him to take as he would. She didn't know how that was, unsure if he still hated her and the family or what. April eased off of the couch and moved towards him. She reached out and touched his shoulder lightly, letting her fingers linger even as she pulled away. "I'm going to start cooking something for dinner. I'm sure we could both use some food." And with that she was heading off to the kitchen.

				It felt good hearing his sister's appraisal of his accomplishments.&nbsp; Only after he moved out did he realize that even when his parents didn't overtly acknowledge him as much as April, it had always been his sister to express her enthusiasm for his deeds.&nbsp; It felt good to have that back.&nbsp; A primal rage stirred in the depths of Vincent's being when April mentioned the guy who mistreated his little sister.&nbsp; She may not have gone into details, but he still remembered the look on her face whenever she was talking about somebody who hurt or offended her deeply.&nbsp; Gods help the man should Vincent learn of his whereabouts or what, aside from forcing her to drop out of college, he had done to hurt her.&nbsp; There had also been an underlying feeling of guilt, believing that such a thing wouldn't have happened had he been there to protect her from the idiot guys of the world.&nbsp; Much to his credit, he managed to prevent that anger from being obvious in his demeanor.<br><br>As she continued, his tension did the same as he was glad to hear that despite the obstacles that got in her way, she still managed to make do with what she was skilled at.&nbsp; "It would seem we have that trait in common.&nbsp; Despite the difficulties our poor decisions may bring on us, we always manage to bounce back.&nbsp; I'm not much into reading, but I would like to take a look at some of your works one of these days if you wouldn't mind."<br><br>Shortly after their conversation ended, the awkward silence returned in earnest.&nbsp; There was so much he wanted to say to her and so much to apologize for.&nbsp; Really, he just wanted to have her in his arms again where he could let out all those thoughts and emotions that felt as though they were eating him from the inside out.&nbsp; When she spoke again in a whisper that was only audible because of the stillness that was all around them, he was able to get a glimpse into the hurt she was feeling.&nbsp; Half of it because of their parents' demise, the other half because of the stupid mistakes that he had been so naive to think that he was the only one affected by them.&nbsp; Vincent sat there in thought even as her fingers traced along his shoulder, lingering there for a moment longer than one would expect as she made her way to the kitchen.&nbsp; It took him a few moments to digest everything now that he finally had some insight to just how his actions had impacted his family as a whole.<br><br>He was halfway down the hallway heading towards the kitchen before the clatter of April gathering the various cooking implements made him aware he had even left his seat.&nbsp; Whatever portion of his subconscious had taken over his body for those few seconds, Vincent trusted it and followed what his instincts were telling him.&nbsp; It was too much to handle on his own, he realize that; if he didn't find an outlet he felt as though the pain congealing inside him would literally rip him apart.&nbsp; When he turned the corner into the kitchen, April's back was to him as she stood before the sink.&nbsp; Without even considering the underlying intimacy suggested by the action, Vincent once again embraced her only from behind this time.&nbsp; His arms wrapped around her abdomen with a strength that managed to be both gentle and firm as he pulled her back to press against his chest.&nbsp; From there he lowered his head so that the bridge of his nose pressed against the crook of her neck while his long dark hair caressed the bare skin around his head.<br><br>"I'm so sorry."&nbsp; Vincent spoke in a tone that was forced into a whisper as the pent up emotions made it difficult to speak.&nbsp; "I was an idiot to have left all those years ago.&nbsp; I've wanted to return for a while now, but I was afraid...&nbsp; Afraid that I wouldn't... wouldn't be welcome anymore."&nbsp; Tears begun to well up in his eyes, but he still did not stop.&nbsp; Despite the pain of admitting it, it felt good to finally get this burden off his chest.&nbsp; "I missed all of you so much and wanted so desperately to see you all again.&nbsp; I just didn't feel worthy.&nbsp; And now..."&nbsp; A single tear finally rolled free from his eye, glided along his nose, and landed upon April's collar.&nbsp; "You're all that I have left sis.&nbsp; The only living reminder of the amazing life I had, even if I was too blind to see it at the time.&nbsp; More than that, I can still smell them on you.&nbsp; It's faint, but it's there.&nbsp; It's almost too much to bear... and yet I can't get enough of it."

				April took a deep breath. Her body ached, and it wasn't from the cold. Years of sadness and frustration at her brother's leaving and of not knowing weighing on her even after she broke a bit of it down when she spoke. How could she just get rid of that hurt, those years that were lost? Nothing could bring them back and most importantly, nothing could bring their parents back. She longed to have them here, to support her as she found her footing again and as her brother was back. She leaned against the counter for a moment before bringing out dishes to work on dinner. Grilled cheese seemed as good an idea as any.<br><br>After a moment, April found herself at the sink, washing her hands, getting ready to put everything together when she became aware of her brother standing behind her. She could feel his strong presence and smell that same fresh earthy scent about him that was his unique make up. She didn't turn around though, figuring he was coming in for something to drink, something entirely unrelated to her. Then, he came up behind her and put his arms around her waist, holding her firmly to his form.<br><br>Anyone would have been just as surprised as she was, even knowing it was her brother. Her body stayed tense for a brief moment as she processed that he was hugging her, quite tightly, but a hug none the less. She relaxed and wiped her wet hands off on to her jeans before resting them on his arms. He was nestled in to her hair and there was a sort of comfort in it. His face was hidden from her, but she could feel his strength, his warmth and his affection. The simple act of it made her eyes swell up with tears. For years, she had worried about him, wondered what she had done to make him leave and wondered if she would ever see him again. Then here he stood, embracing her like a child would their parent. <br><br>As he spoke, a few tears of her own fell from her face. She didn't say anything to interrupt, just listened. Still, his words shocked her. How could he not be welcome? How could they not have known? But April also cried as she thought of all the pain he must have felt in those years he was away, wondering about them as well, feeling alone and unwanted. It made her ache all over again. Then she felt his tear hit against the exposed flesh of her collarbone. Now she could hear the strain in his voice. He was grieving. Despite his looks, he was grieving also and perhaps more than she was. He hadn't been able to really say goodbye. <br><br>April held his hands to her tighter, holding them to her stomach as she remained pressed against his chest. "Oh Vince, you could have always come back," she managed to say softly, not hiding the fact that she herself was crying a bit. "But our parents loved you even while you were away and even now that they are gone," she added, trying to help ease some of his pain for the time, though she wondered if it would&nbsp; make a dent on the years of guilt and sadness he had built up. There was more she could say, about her worries of him leaving because of her or of him hating her, but now was not the time. She knew he was upset enough. <br><br>He mentioned that she smelt of their parents and it brought a smile to her face. She knew how it must hurt him and please him all the same. She felt that way when she walked around the house she lived in, the one that they had lived in too. Untouched areas smelt of their mom's perfume or their dad's musky scent. A soft sigh escaped her lips and April finally reached up to wipe her tears away. With a deep breath, she pulled from him just enough so that she could turn around and look at him. Her soft green eyes pierced into his and she reached up to rest a hand on his shoulder. "You can hug me whenever you need to. Just...just don't leave like before. I couldn't bare it. You're all I have now too," she whispered softly.<br><br>After a moment, she pulled away a bit more, letting her hand fall from him. April cleared her throat and smiled a bit playfully at him. "But right now, I need to make some food. We can't both be crying all night like a pair of teenage girls brother," she said with a smirk. "Here, slice some cheese," she said as she handed him a block of cheddar cheese for their sandwiches. She wanted to comfort him and help him, but there was no way that they could both get over years of sadness and pain in one evening. No, the best thing to do was to address it in small doses. April felt as if the hardest part was out of the way. Vincent once again felt like her brother, like the brother she had always wanted him to be.

				Despite of all that he had done to betray the family in his mind, the fact that April accepted his embrace and literally lent him a shoulder to cry on was something he had needed for years. Sure, he had the occasional friend or girlfriend to offer that same gesture, but it would never carry the same meaning or unconditional acceptance as somebody of the same blood. Not to mention he had absolutely nobody else to turn to when it came to coping with his supernatural abilities. She had become his salvation and provided a much-needed outlet for the crushing weight of countless thoughts and emotions. Even if he had only gotten a tithe of the burden off his shoulders, it had helped get rid of the feeling that they would cripple him at any moment. His sister’s words as well as her touch had a soothing effect unlike anything else he’d experienced for some time. It was something he enjoyed deeply, perhaps a little too much, but in the wake of drastic events as well as being out of practice, he couldn’t be entirely sure where society drew the line. It was only a hug after all. A greatly needed embrace between siblings who were in need of mutual comfort and the powerful feelings of attraction that he was feeling towards her were perfectly normal after being away for so long. Right?<br><br>As April pulled away from his embrace, his hold resisted her movement by only the slightest degree as a part of him wanted to make that moment last much longer. Vincent hung on to her every word as their green eyes locked with one another. The corners of his lips quivered as they curled in a slight smile. “I’ve learned my mistake once already and I have felt the pain that comes with taking the support of my family for granted. There is no way I am enough of a masochist to go through all that loneliness again.” He let out a light, shaky chuckle. “Your estranged brother is back for keeps, sis.” Vincent savored their moment of intimacy until it came to its natural end, not wanting to let it linger into the realm of awkwardness. There was a good chance he would take her up on her offer for hugs on several occasions, if nothing else other than to make up for lost time and reassure himself that she was back in his life.<br><br><em>”But right now, I need to make some food. We can’t both be crying all night like a pair of teenage girls, brother.”</em><br><br>Vincent let out a laugh of his own. “I suppose you’re right. We lack the tub of cookie dough ice cream to be able to successfully pull that off. Perhaps we should run into town and grab some along with a few cheesy chick flicks and boxes of tissues just in case.” A grin spread across his lips as he was given the block of cheddar and knife; he began performing his assigned task, but couldn’t resist getting a few playful brotherly jibes in. “I can’t remember the last time I made a grilled cheese sandwich without using pre-sliced and individually wrapped pieces of cheese. Leave it to my little sister to add class to an otherwise simple meal.” As he spoke, he shifted his weight so that his hip would bump playfully into hers. Throughout the cooking process, Vincent took a handful of opportunities to playfully get in April’s way in the form of unnecessary reaching and more playful bumping while making sure he wasn’t actually hindering her ability to cook. Anything to entice a giggle or smile for her. Being at the cabin with his sister brought back so many fond memories of his childhood. More so the ones that weren’t tainted with adolescent hormones and frustrations; back when they were beginning to finally grow into their paws and the world all around their isolated getaway was an adventure waiting to happen.<br><br>“Know what we haven’t done in a while?” Vincent had finished his task and been on his way to sit at one of the island barstools when he realized just how broad that question had been. “Let me rephrase that. Know what we haven’t done in a while that we should do this evening? Go for a nice long run in our other form. I’ve done it by myself on very rare occasion the past few years, far too rare for my liking, and it’s nowhere near as fun as I remember it being when we were younger and doing it together. What do you say? For old time’s sake?”

				He seemed an entirely different man than the one she remembered. The brother she had known before was so difficult to get close to, so hard to love like she wanted to and so hard to play around with like younger sisters often need to do. Now, he seemed like he would rather be no where else in the world. They were both struggling, that was for certain, but together, there seemed to be a bit of happiness and familial love even in the wake of their parents death. She loved it and loved the way he had hugged her, saying he was around for good. He was all she had. It pained her to even admit it to herself, but he was. If this changed man before her could now be in her life like she had always wanted him to be, April knew that she could get through the struggles of their parents death. She knew that she could figure out the real details of their death. Her brother, finally, seemed to really love her.<br><br>She chuckled softly at his comment about going to get ice cream as she pulled away. April didn't say anything on the matter, but let it linger in their air between them, mulling the funny image over in her head. As she cooked, he continued to surprise her by playing around with her, getting in her way and bumping in to her. Every time he did, she would raise an eyebrow at him and give him a mock glare. Of course, the first few times, she had thought it all an accident. It wasn't like the brother she had known to play around in such a way. He wasn't the brother she knew though. So after a few times, April realized his actions for what they were, playful. She would still give him a look, but now April couldn't help but get into the whole game. She was the younger one after all, so it came naturally to her in a way.<br><br>As he moved to bump into her a few times, she swung her curvacious hips outwards, aiming to hit his own with a bit of force, enough to throw him off balance. She also sidestepped in front of him as he playfully bumped into her, trying to block his way, pretending it was all an accident and she was trying to move out of his way the whole time. The awkwardness of it all faded and soon, it seemed like that was how things should be, that was how they always should have treated one another; with love and happiness. Still, she couldn't fight the nagging feeling that they were acting like more than grown siblings, almost like a young dating couple of sorts. April knew this wasn't true, so she brushed the thought aside, but just tucked it away as something she felt she would enjoy when she actually started dating again.<br><br>Finally, the sandwiches were on the skillet and browning nicely. They each had taken a break from their antics and Vincent seemed to be thinking over something serious. April had no sooner noticed it before he opened his mouth to speak. Her green eyes turned to him, trying to guess what he wanted to say. As he mentioned going out running in their other form, April was rather shocked. He had never really cared for shifting or for being what they were. She could only stare at him for a long minute then, trying to process his request. She thought again that he was a changed man, more of a man that he had ever been and more mature to boot. A soft smile played across her lips and she leaned against the stove some so that she could look at him before she responded. "You know, I go out about once a week in that form, just to get it out, release frustrations, embrace who I am. I've run with mom and dad not too long ago out in these very mountains. While I know you never used to care for it like we did," she added softly, "it pleases me to no end that you would want to do such a thing now, with me." April smiled a bit wider and took a step towards him. Her eyes were a bit glossy with tears, but not so much that they would spill out onto her rosy cheeks. She stood before him, looking up into his eyes and the way that his shaggy hair clung to the features of his face. <br><br>April reached out and lightly grazed her fingertips over his face. "My brother," she said in almost a whisper, her tone just as lucious as it had been before, "you really have changed a great deal." Her hand moved over his forehead and down his cheeks before lingering over his chin. She could feel his stubble and didn't mind it. It just reminded her how grown he was and the years of pain he had gone through. April let her fingers move over his neck some. Even as she did it, April wondered if he would move away, if he minded, but she only wanted to be close to him, to touch him. She had always cared so much for him, wanted him to be something that he wasn't. Now, he was the very man that she had always wanted him to be, the very person in her life she had craved for. It was surreal. Her fingertips traced down across his neck and his pronounced adam's apple. "I've always loved you my brother and would love to share my weekly run through the night with you. I thought...." she paused. Did she wanted to admit to him just how bad she wanted him in her life before, just how happy it made her to have him now? April decided against it just now and settled for a different response. "I thought you would never want something like that from your family." April smiled lightly and let her finger leave his flesh, albeit reluctantly. He was warm and reminded her so much of her dad. He looked at her differently than before as well, and it was refreshing. <br><br>She took a step back and looked at him again. He was really there, really wanting to be part of her life and finally the brother she wanted. She would have reached out to embrace him again if she didn't pick up on the slightest hint of burning bread from their grilled cheeses. April turned around to take them off the skillet. As her back was turned to him, she smiled a bit more. "We'll go out later tonight, once the moon is high and everyone just about everywhere is asleep. I know just the spot we can shift before we run off into the mountains." The thought of it was already exciting for her. She loved her night wolf runs as she called them. They were powerful and managed to channel all of her emotions so cleanly. In her wolf form, it was so easy to just feel, fully and cleanly, and run until those emotions faded or howl until any ache went away. There was something pure about being an animal and not caring or wanting to control any emotions. She knew they both needed such an experience. They could run and howl and wrestle perhaps, just embracing their grief and wearing their bodies out until they could feel no more. April tossed his sandwich on a plate and hers on a different one, before moving back to the living room to have a seat on the couch.

				A warm smile tugged at the corners of Vincent’s lips as his sister seemed more than willing to join him on a wolf outing. It was true once he hit his awkward teen years he had held that aspect of his life with disdain. At a time when he was struggling to fit in, it was the one thing that would never be viewed as normal. Now that he has had time to discover who he was and realized there was more to life than blending into a crowd, he had grown to miss having somebody to join him on his rare outing. Now that he had April back, it would be the beginning of a whole new chapter in his life. Very likely the best one yet.<br><br>“I realized that was one of the many things I hadn’t truly appreciated until it was gone. Now that we’ve been given another chance, it feels like a fresh start for me.”<br><br>A feeling of warm radiance spread languidly through his body when April began caressing his face tenderly as she spoke. “I’ve finally grown up.” He responded softly to her remark. As her fingers traced their way to his cheek Vincent felt a slight twinge of excited electricity within himself, intermixing with the warmth of her affection. Instinctively his eyes flicked from hers down to her lips and he noticed just how soft and full they looked. Wondering if they would be as wonderful to kiss as they appeared as April’s touches beckoned him to find out for himself. Vincent had just about to make a move, but caught himself when he remembered the attractive woman before him was <em>his sister</em>. That realization sent him into a state of confusion as his mind told him to stop, that it was his sister that was unknowingly arousing him. Meanwhile his heart and libido retorted that her touches were flirtatious; she wanted to entice him. To tempt him. That he should take a leap of faith and see just how openly they could express their love for one another. Sex today isn’t what it was hundreds of years ago when such a thing was first considered taboo. Reliable measures could be taken to prevent reproduction; sex today was about fun and intimacy between two (or more) people.<br><br>Was it really so wrong?<br><br><em>”I’ve always loved you my brother and would love to share my weekly run through the night with you. I thought… I thought you would never want something like that from your family.”</em><br><br>“I’ve realized there is a lot that I want from my family. That I want to do with you.” A portion of Vincent’s mind wondered if he was referring to the things he had missed over the years or if he was referring to his most recent taboo desires. “We have a lot of lost time and memories to make up for, what better time to start than now?” When she pulled away to tend to their meal, his first instinct was to follow her. Fortunately, he was able to fight back his desire for the sake of avoiding a potentially awkward situation. He listened to her describe the plans for that night and about the spot she discovered, hanging on to those mental images to distract himself from the more sensual ones that preceded them. The notion that they would need to get naked before they shifted had not registered in his mind yet.<br><br>“You certainly know how you paint a beautiful image with your words, sis. Night can’t come soon enough at this point.” Grabbing his own plate, Vincent followed April to the living room continuing the conversation along the way. “I don’t live in the middle if a city, but close enough where I have at least an hour’s drive to the nearest location that holds such a beautifully natural setting. I almost forgot how peaceful it was out here, away from the rest of society. It’s been a while since I’ve gotten an opportunity to relax like this and it’s made all the better because I have you to enjoy it with.” Taking the spot in the couch next to his younger sister, he placed the plate on his lap and proceeded to eat his sandwich. After the first bite he moaned out his approval of its rich flavor and swallowed it before complimenting the chef. “Definitely a lot more flavorful than the sliced American cheese I’ve been using all this time.”

				<em> “I’ve realized there is a lot that I want from my family. That I want to do with you.” </em> His words resonated with her even as she moved to the living room and he continued their conversation. They warmed her, made her feel welcome and assured her that her really was a changed man, that he had, as he said, grown up. He wanted to be close and turn over a new leaf with her. Still, her mind couldn't help but take a different turn as well. Her brother was so grown now, so handsome and smelled of sheer power. The animal in her as well as the lonely single female couldn't help but find him attractive, even if he was her brother. That in and of itself wasn't wrong. She could admit anyone was attractive if she thought they were. What bothered her a bit was that she couldn't help but think of the things that he wanted to do with her and the slightly erotic nature some of them could take.<br><br>April shook the brief sexual thoughts out of her mind to tune into his mention of being far from an isolated area where he lived. She knew he didn't run in his other form much and he had pretty much admitted to it as well, so she couldn't be surprised that he lived away from any accessible area. "I'm glad you're here, that you can enjoy it all with me. No one like us should live too far from their true environment," she said softly and with a bit of a chuckle. April took a bite of the sandwitch herself. It melted in her mouth, cheese oozing out behind her teeth. She did love a good sandwich. Her green eyes flicked up to her brother as he spoke and she could see that he matched her enjoyment. "Yeah, why do you have to be such a bachelor and use processed cheese is beyond me," she said with a smile before taking another bite.<br><br>"But really," she continued after a moment. "It's beautiful here. The moon isn't full, but the woods are dense and there is no other inhabitants for miles and miles. Most come out for the holidays, much like we used to come up here remember? Well when mom and dad retired to here, they were happy to see that they had a very wide expanse of land to explore. It isn't uncommon, after all, to have regular wolves in the forest, so even if someone saw them, they shouldn't think much." April sighed happily, thinking about running through it already. the animal within her yearned for it, craved it like a drug, like a primal need. "Yeah, it's going to be very nice to go run tonight," she added softly, her eyes staring off a bit as she thought about the pleasure that she would get from it, the emotional catharsis that would come after her body was exhausted and her mind bereft of all but the most basic thoughts. <br><br>April took a few more bites of her sandwich, but her eyes looked over her brother a bit still. He did seem a different man, even when she looked into his eyes. The pain that lie just behind them had to match her own, if not exceeded it. The more she took him in, the more she was sure, and excited about, their new found time together. April just imagined that they could stay up talking like they could have when they were younger, running in the woods nightly perhaps as just a means of fun, relaxing and grieving together. There was no one else April could really go to for such things. "It will be fun indeed," she added softly as she set her empty plate beside her. Her stomach was sated and now her body could relax some. She stretched her long lithe legs across the couch and rested her back against the arm of the couch. Her bright green orbs took her brother in, lips curved in a gentle smirk.<br><br>"So tell me brother, what other trouble have you gotten into while you were away?" He had discussed career aspects and that he had turned his life around in that sense, but she wanted to know more, wanted to reconnect with her brother. "I mean, surely you must have brought frustration to other individuals aside from your younger sister?" She added, maintaining her light smirk. April held his gaze, confident and powerful in her own way. It was something that she hadn't had for long, though even as a pup she managed to have a bit of spunk. No, her real confidence had come after her break up, after that terrible relationship. She was a different creature from it entirely. Even her runs had become more aggressive, strategic even. April realized she was keeping eye contact with her brother though and glanced away for a moment before looking back to him. Eye contact was powerful, assertive and considered dominant in the animal kingdom. Any other man and she would have maintained it now, challenging him to some extent, but with her massive form of a sibling sitting before her, a changed man at that, she found she couldn't keep that same look. She found she didn't particularly mind submitting to him in that subtle way. He was older and seemed far more powerful than he had been even in their adolescence. <br><br>She adjusted a bit on the couch, stretching out and arching her back a bit. The drive had been long and her limbs ached some, from the cold and lack of movement. The run would help, but for now, her curvacious form stretched out. Her legs reached out across the other cushions and her head tilted back over the arm of the couch some. Her long auburn locks spilled out across the fabric while her eyes flicked back to her brothers gaze. Laying down, her chest was perhaps more pronounced than before. She lay flat while her breasts pressed agaisnt the fabric of her shirt, creating two full curves that led down to a flat surely toned stomach. April felt a bit uncomfortable, stretching out in such a way. Surely it looked a bit suggestive, she felt, but this was her brother. While other men might think of it in a sexual way, her brother wouldn't right? It was just his sister getting comfortable on the couch right? Even as she thought it, April was reminded that she had just a while ago thought of her brother in a slightly sexual way, and that was from a single comment. Wondering and paranoid, April adjusted a bit more on the couch, turning on her side and curling her legs up some to bring her knees towards her chest. It looked more comfy and she figured, showed off her body less. While she couldn't know what her brother was thinking, she figured it best to be careful with how she acted around him. They were just barely reconnecting after all. April didn't want to risk offending him or causing even more awkwardness than their already was.

				The bestial side of Vincent’s mind grew anxious as April continued to remind it of what this place had to offer. It had been cooped up in society for far too long and it yearned to be set loose once more where he could run, hunt, and play without fear of being caught. Even his human side agreed with just how wonderful that notion was and he couldn’t wait for nightfall. Though he ate his sandwich, there was another hunger growing within him that could not be satiated by food.<br><br><em>”So tell me brother, what other trouble have you gotten yourself into while you were away? I mean, surely you must have brought frustration to other individuals aside from your younger sister?”</em> That mocking remark elicited a bark of laughter as he too put his empty plate aside. “If there is ever a person out there who is immune to the aggravation that results from my unique quirks, I have yet to meet them. I’m convinced such a creature is far more elusive than the mythical werewolf.” He shot his younger sister a grin, finally glad to have somebody truly get the irony of that remark since it always went over the heads of his friends. For obvious reasons. “But as far as the trouble I tend to always get myself into… Well, I had a run-in with the law that ended with me being in handcuffs and detained for a short time…”<br><br>He caught the concerned expression on his sister’s face, but only blushed when their eyes locked causing him to look away as he went into detail. “You see, I had promised myself another wolf outing and had found a nice secluded spot in the wilderness to do my thing aside from two things that put a damper on my plans. First, I had not realized that I wandered into a national park. Second and most crucial, I hadn’t put much effort into hiding my clothing. Upon returning after my run, I discovered that park rangers had stumbled across my stuff and begun searching for me out of concern. Well… they found me, naked as the day I was born… Let me tell you, there was a long moment of awkward silence when I walked into that clearing with five unsuspecting park rangers. Their faces were priceless, though I imagine mine was just as amusing.” Vincent coughed in an attempt to lessen his embarrassment. “I don’t know if they genuinely thought me as a suspect or simply wanted to haze me, but I was handcuffed and driven back to their station. Mind you, I was still entirely nude. They kept my clothes as ‘evidence’ until after they paraded me into the little building. Fortunately, it wasn’t an actual police department, so I was the only civilian in the building. After about an hour they had their fun, issued me a warning, returned my clothes, and sent me on my way.”<br><br>“That was the last time I changed forms and went for a run. I’m hoping things go a little more smoothly tonight.”<br><br>After that story from his recent past, Vincent went on to describe the more mundane things about his life over the past few years. He mentioned some of the friends he had made and experiences he had gained, specifically regarding to more memorable and entertaining memories from working the bar. As he did so, he did notice the more subtle changes she had undergone through her body language. For one, she had actually maintained eye contact with him rather than simply looking at his face. Though she had been the one to break the intensity of their locked gazes, she had certainly grown more in confidence compared to the last time they had been together and spoke like this. It was reassuring to know he had not been the only one to grow in strength and wisdom over the years.<br><br>Vincent could feel a certain attraction in her gaze, but dismissed it as simply being a younger sister looking up to her elder brother. At least until April reclined in the couch in a way that wasn’t necessarily suggestive, but was alluring all the same as it did wonders to accentuate her ample bosom and womanly physique. As he continued to speak, it took conscious effort to resist allowing his gaze to wander over her form even though every fiber in his being wanted to. When she repositioned, he felt a sense of relief as well as disappointment as he wasn’t content with the vague image he had captured with his peripheries. Once again he found himself at odds between what he wanted and what would be considered proper.<br><br>“You’re not tired already, are you sis?” He said with a grin, allowing his eyes to overtly scan over her body in a way to point out the reasoning behind asking that question. “Or is it that I’m rambling on without realizing it again?”

				April listened to his story and was a bit shocked. She couldn't imagine getting caught like that in the national forest, let alone being taken to the police station completely naked. All she could do was chuckle a bit nervously and shake her head. At least he seemed happy enough about it and hadn't gotten into too much trouble. "You were always the ornery one Vincent," she added softlly, smiling at her brother, knowing that he was always getting in trouble when they were adolescents. "We'll go for a nicer run tonight," she assured him.<br><br>As April curled up on the couch, adjusting on her side, her eyes stayed on him. He took her in and joked with her, suggesting that he was boring her. April yawned a bit and stretched her arms and legs just a little bit. "Oh you always bore me brother, all you do is ramble on and on and on," she joked, smirking at her brother. Her body was just a little bit tense though, ready for him to come at her and wrestle with her like he used to. She imagined he hurt her a lot more then than he would now though. Hell, she didn't even know if he still had that rough and tumble side to him anymore. He had already shown her that he had changed, so she couldn't determine just how he would respond to their jesting. <br><br>Either way, April welcomed it. It had been so long since she had had anyone to joke around with like she felt she could with her brother. Even when they didn't get along or when he had struggled so much during their adolescence, she still tried to joke with him and play around with him. There was no one else like a sibling that you could do that with, she felt. Now, here he was, a totally different person and she hoped, much more welcoming of banter and playfulness. She had maintained that bit of her personality and was quite jovial in most things she undertook. He had proven to be a bit fun-loving himself, she noted, as she remembered him messing with her in the kitchen.<br><br>A smile crossed her lips as she waited to see if he would lash back with words or physical playfulness. "You remember when we were younger and you were just starting to get interested in girls?" She asked, already smirking at the memory. "I would always try to get to the phone before you to see if it was some girl. I think I beat you to it once and I made you chase me for the phone," she added with a louder giggle. April reached up and brushed her hair out of her face, moving it so that it rested down over her shoulders and back, spilling across her chest even as she lay on her side. "Course, you had your annoying tendencies when it came to me and dating as well, let's not forget," April commented, rolling on to her back now, still looking at him.<br><br>She wasn't thinking about looking too sensual. Things seemed comfortable now, more so than she expected, and April was losing herself in her memories of their childhood. It pleased her greatly to think back on the handful of fond memories she had of her brother, ones that didn't include him being angry or resentful. A sigh escaped her lips. "What's one of your favored memories of when we were younger," she asked thoughtfully.

				A warm smile spread across Vincent's lips as his sister teased him about his 'rambling'.&nbsp; This was the sort of relationship he had wanted from his sister ever since he realized just how childish he had been in his teens.&nbsp; Back then he had a thin skin when it came to such playful ribbings from his sister, taking each one as a personal attack from the superior sibling of the family.&nbsp; Now he could finally enjoy the banter for the lighthearted fun it was and already his mind was scheming up a comeback.<br><br>Vincent quirked a inquisitive brow when the transitioned to the topic of his sweethearts from years past.&nbsp; Not only was he interested in where that was going, but what had caused his romantic life to cross her mind.&nbsp; Another nostalgic laugh bubbled from his throat when she reminded him of that incident where she had made him chase her through the house red with embarrassment trying to get it from her.&nbsp; "Your timing couldn't have been any worse.&nbsp; That had been the day after we lost our..."&nbsp; He trailed off once he realized he had been about to tell his younger sister when he and his Karen Jardy, his girlfriend from junior year of high school, had given one another their virginities.&nbsp; Instead he completed that thought by simply saying, "I guess it's our inherent right as siblings to make those first awkward years of dating even more so."<br><br>He didn't miss the way April brushed the hair out of her face and once again got the faint impression she was flirting with him.&nbsp; It was becoming increasingly difficult to write off all these subtle hints as coincidence, but he still reminded himself that it was his little sister he was talking about.&nbsp; Still, it did little to diminish the excited butterflies in his stomach that he usually felt when discovering a potential romantic interest.&nbsp; Vincent was finally able to come up with a scheme that would return the volley of her earlier tease while also aware that it might also be picked up as being slightly flirtatious.&nbsp; Stretching in a similarly exaggerated fashion she had done, he turned his back to her and promptly reclined so that he was laying on her.&nbsp; "Might as well get comfy if we're going to continue venturing down memory lane."<br><br>Once he shifted so that his back was as comfortable as it could be in that awkward position, he stretched out his arms and dropped his head to rest upon her shoulder in a mass of immovable deadweight.&nbsp; Vincent's weight was spread out enough so that it wouldn't be uncomfortable to April, but was enough to make it difficult for her to move him off of her.&nbsp; To up the ante of playfulness, he had shook his head in just the right way to cause his long dark locks to spread out over his sister's face and neck causing her to try and shake her head free of their invasive silken caress that was fraught with his natural scent among the shampoo and conditioner. "Let's see... Fondest childhood memory together."&nbsp; He allowed her to struggle for a moment before sweeping a hand behind his head to redirect all the rogue tresses to drape along the back of her neck.<br><br>"I would have to say when we came up here shortly after we had just started getting used to shape shifting.&nbsp; Remember all the fun we had wrestling one another with our large clumsy canine limbs?&nbsp; Oh!&nbsp; And when mom and dad got into the fray!"&nbsp; Just reminiscing of those times were enough to make Vincent beam with joy and happiness.&nbsp; For a moment that memory was so lucid that he could practically sense all the minute details, completely forgetting the fact that their parents had passed.&nbsp; "It took all three of us to finally pull dad down, even if he let us win."&nbsp; When that summoned memory ran its course, he once again felt a slight pang in his chest when he remembered that his mom and dad were gone forever.&nbsp; "Sis..."&nbsp; He said, angling his head up slightly in a way that could have been mistaken for nuzzling.&nbsp; "Would you be up for some roughhousing tonight?&nbsp; Just because we're grownup doesn't mean we have to act like it <strong>all</strong> the time."

				April chuckled as her brother revealed just how important Karen had been to him. She didn't say anything though, because he didn't seem to want to, but she wasn't an idiot. She was an adult that had had sex as well, so she knew just what he was talking about. She hadn't had sex for a bit after he had, but she had done her share of other things. Many a boyfriend had told her in high school that she was a very good kisser, among other things. Of course, she didn't say anything about that either. Despite their new found playfulness and openness, that wasn't the conversation to have now, let alone that one should bring up out of the blue. Hell, she didn't even know if she wanted her brother to know what her high school boyfriends thought she was and wasn't. <br><br>Her eyes shifted to him as he adjusted and, despite how poised for attack she thought she was, she wasn't. He laid out across her and she let out a small squeal. There was no where she could go and she found she could only take his massive weight on top of her. His head fell back and she let out a small groan as the full amount of his body rested on her own. His hair was in her face to boot and she blew on it a bit to try and get it out. Then, without even thinking about it, her animal nature took over a bit. She squirmed a bit more, like a dog would when you pin them, and she lashed out at his hair with her teeth. It wasn't a wise decision, but she managed to get a good bit of it and tug on it with almost a growl as she pulled. Then he reached up to brush it all away and she let it go. It satisfied her enough to know that a lock of his hair was wet with her slobber.<br><br>She listened to his memory and her body stilled. It was a sweet memory, but a painful one all the same. She knew all too well how good those times had been and what she would give to have them all back. A soft sigh escaped her lips, but she said nothing. The way his body seemed to slump a bit told her all she needed to know. He was feeling it too. His head tilted back a bit and brushed against her face. She leaned into it, nuzzling him some in return, even if it's not what he intended it to be. "Sure, that sounds fun. We can do so during or after our run if you like," she said softly. April pulled away though, not wanting to stay cuddly like that for too long. He was her brother, but it was going to take time to rebuild the bonds and to make things like physical contact, more comfortable.<br><br>To break the bit of awkwardness she was feeling, April smirked some and felt her playfulness returning, spurned on by her animal instincts. "Or, we can do it now," she added. Her arms reached up around his form and she grabbed one hand with the other around his chest. Without a moments hesitation, she leaned down to start biting at his shoulder or his arm, whichever she could reasonably win. Those same soft growling noises escaped her throat and she could feel her eyes change color to that of her wolf form. It happened when she shifted entirely of course, but it also happened at times that she got really worked up one way or another. Their playfulness and the aspect of a challenge just heightened it all, so if he looked, he would see two yellow eyes that had replaced her green ones. Surely, she expected a similar result from him when he got so worked up. It was hard to contain their true animal nature at times, especially something so subtle as eye color.

				Vincent let out a yelp of surprise as his sister got the jump on him in the spontaneous bout of sibling wrestling. Surprise quickly gave way to excitement in the form of hearty laughter even as he felt his sister’s teeth firmly clamp down on his shoulder. It wasn’t hard enough to be painful, but just enough to make its presence known with the slightest margin of discomfort. “Hey!” He barked between bouts of laughter while struggling to gain whatever advantage on April he could in order to break free from her grapple. “No fair!”<br><br>After a few moments he managed to writhe enough to get a grip on one of April’s forearms, allowing him to pry free from her grasp after considerable effort. Vincent couldn’t figure out if he was losing his touch or his younger sister had simply grown stronger over the years; either way it was more of a struggle that it used to be. Sometime during his escape, his own eyes transitioned to a predatory golden hue as his own primal side begun to take hold of the competitive spirit of the game. There was a point where they were at a brief stalemate as his little sister attempted to lock her grapple once more while he strained against her arms in order to keep them from connecting. Realizing that he couldn’t get the leverage necessary from his current position to overpower her with raw strength, he decided to use her own strength against her.<br><br>The instant he made enough clearance to perform the maneuver, he hooked his legs over the armrest to quickly pull him out from under her grasp before using his planted legs to twist him so that he was facing April rather than away. As he was clear, he stopped resisting her exerted strength without releasing her wrists causing her arms to lock across her chest capturing nothing but open air by the time he finished his turn. From there he clamped down with both hands in a way that bound her arms together, using her intended hold against her. Eager to further overpower her, Vincent planted his knees at either side of her thighs, allowing his shins to help pin her legs while his upper half hovered above her.<br><br>It was now Vincent who had the upper hand and his enthusiasm shone brightly in his wide smile and shimmering golden eyes as they fixed on hers. “I got you now, sis!” Just as he had moved in to bite the nape of her neck, she once again surprised him with her display of strength and resourcefulness as she threw her weight in a way to send them rolling off the couch, robbing him of the point he had been about to score. Vincent landed squarely on his back with a cushioned thud on the rug. The soft impact may have jostled him a bit, but he managed to maintain the grip on her wrists preventing them from breaking free even if it was his turn to be on bottom. Without her arms being able to prop her up, their torsos pressed rather intimately against one another despite the fact their arms were trapped between them. His breathing was heavy and excited, his entire body tingling with anticipation and joy of their match as he waited to react to whatever move she threw at him next.

				April was pleased as her strength helped her hold her brother. Her teeth continued to bite into his shoulder, her own soft giggles escaping every now and then. He was enjoying this, she thought, and it pleased her that much more. She had never seen her brother so happy. Then, before she knew it, he had broken out of her grasp and had turned to face her. Panic seized her as she felt she might lose. She was, after all, fairly pinned beneath him. Some quick thinking and a bit of leverage managed to get them on the ground.<br><br>She lay there a moment, chest heaving and her body starting to get sweaty. She felt their bodies pressed against one another and could only stare down at her brother's animal eyes as he held her arms in place. Her own golden orbs pierced into his gaze as her mind reeled as to what she should do next. Every animal instinct was firing and it was all she could do to keep from shifting at this point. Everything about what they were doing was so carnal. Even the scent that had now filled the room was intoxicating to her, filling her nostrils like a freshly sprayed perfume. There was so much of his scent in the mix, strong and almost....arousing. April couldn't believe that she would even think that since he was her brother, but knew that it was just natural for her to think so about such a strong male scent when she was already so close to being her animal form.<br><br>April could feel the nagging sensations of her other form, but held on to her consciousness. Looking down at her brother, even as their bodies were pressed together, she smirked some. She, of course, didn't want to stop their play, but knew she should change it to something more sibling appropriate. April stared at him, keeping his gaze on hers, her smirk only growing. In the meantime, her hands were wriggling about, fighting against his hold. Indeed, she had gotten stronger and running or playing in her wolf form often had left her quick thinking. She moved her hands against his thumbs, forcing it back just a bit, enough so that her slim wrist could escape from the small gap created by the act. As soon as her wrists were free, April tossed herself off of his body and rolled a few feet away.<br><br>As fluidly as she had dismounted from his form, April poised herself in a crouched position a few feet away from him. Her feet were placed a bit behind her, one in front of the other, and her hands rested just barely in front of her, meany mostly for balance. Indeed, if he looked, he could see that most of her energy was placed in her legs, ready to lunge out. Her auburn locks hung eerily in front of her face, dangling and curling around most of her soft flesh, leaving just the yellow glow of her eyes and her continuous smirk. It made her happy to be wrestling, to be doing well at that. As hard as her animal instincts were to push aside, she did enjoy being what she was, regardless of it all. Besides, she had put some space between them, so their play could still be entirely platonic yes?<br><br>As soon as he moved to get up, April would lunge at him. One arm would move across his shoulders and neck while the rest of her moved to take his back. Quickly, her legs would move to wrap around his waist, locking if she could do so. One arm would move to grasp the arm resting at his neck as she attempted to get him in a significant choke hold. It wasn't wolf like, but it was something she had picked up none the less. She pulled her arm towards her, trying to get him to tap, but not trying to make him black out. That wouldn't be nice after all. The whole time, she tried to keep her feet locked like they were so as to ensure she had him held right where she wanted him.<br><br>April could feel her chest pressed into his back and feel his chest heaving much like her own now. His hair was right next to her nose and heavy with his scent now as he had started to sweat. April let out a small low growl, closer to his ear than she thought. She really hoped he tapped. If he didn't, she knew she would have to soon just to maintain some semblance of sanity. It bothered her the way her animal self was taking over, urging her to feel things that she knew she shouldn't towards her brother. April hoped he couldn't tell and that he wasn't feeling the same. She didn't want to make things weird between them when they had just started to feel right. "I've got you brother," she said softly, though more of a whisper than she wanted it to be. "You should give up now and just try for a rematch later," she added, still hoping he would give in.

				Countless emotions raged within Vincent’s mind as he lay there, pinned beneath his sister yet restraining her at the same time. It had become difficult to distinguish between his primal and rational thoughts and desires. There was no doubt now that April had changed drastically over the years; she was stronger, more capable, and genuinely confident in herself even if she may question it from time to time. He had learned just as much in those few minutes of wrestling than he had in the hour or so of talking with her. The curiosity she had inspired in him earlier was now full-blown interest. She seemed to be more in control of herself than he was, the main thing preventing him from shifting was the awkward grapple they were in that would leave him vulnerable for a critical moment.<br><br>The aroma of her natural pheromones flooded his keen sense of smell, acting like a powerful aphrodisiac. Vincent was unable to distinguish if it was his human or animal side that it appealed to; it could be both for all he knew. Either way, that information was trivial and he didn’t need to know the answer. The one thing he knew for sure was that he wanted her then and there, consequences be damned! April had broken free the very instant he pressed forward in an attempt to pull her into a heated passionate kiss causing him to only find open air where his sister had been.<br><br>He had made the crucial mistake of not checking his opponent’s body language when he attempted to pursue her. Vincent’s mind was too preoccupied with wanton desire to recall that basic lesson in combat and it was a mistake that cost him. Before he could entirely register what had happened, he found himself ensnared within a very thorough chokehold. April was holding back, that much was clear considering how he was able to remain conscious after the first few seconds of him struggling for freedom. With both aspects of his mind back in the game, he focused on doing everything he could to fight the grapple that only continued to constrict him. Even though he was aware that he was losing, a thought crept into his mind of just how wonderful it would be if she had clung on to him in a similar manner from the front rather than from behind.<br><br><em>”I’ve got you brother. You should give up now and just try for a rematch later.”</em><br><br>While the hotly whispered tones in her voice that caressed the side of Vincent’s neck sent a delightful chill down his spin, her words called out to his rational side bringing it to the forefront. Blinking a few times in rapid order changing his eyes back to their earthy green, his struggling grew less determined as he realized there was no getting out of this without doing something that could actually inflict physical harm to either of them. Years ago, he wouldn’t have hesitated to cross that line in his childish ambition of never accepting defeat no matter the price. Now? Now he knew how to lose with grace and that defeat wasn’t inherently a bad thing.<br><br>It started slow at first in the form of a low chuckle until it gradually built up into a vivacious belly laugh made somewhat awkward given the way his body was contorted. “Okay okay!” Vincent said though his laughter, his arm tapping whatever it could find. “You got me, I submit!” A moment later he felt the pressure on his body vanish allowing him to fall to his back once more breathless and exhausted, but still laughing. His eyes sought out those of his sister, his exuberance showing clearly in his demeanor when he finally found them. “You’re something else sis, very well played. Next time, though, I won’t let you have the element of surprise to help you out.” The last phrase were spoken with a wolfish grin that was a playful challenge without a hint of anger or frustration that he might have had in his adolescence. It was a good game and he was already looking forward to the rematch.

				April held him steady until she felt him tap her forearm, saying he submitted. She grinned as she released him, moving away from him a bit, but remaining on the floor with him. After a moment, her eyes returned to normal and she felt more like herself. Her chest still heaved a bit, heavy breathing the side effect of their battle well fought. He looked to her from the ground and she smiled softly at him, letting her green orbs hold his gaze for a long while. She wasn't looking away this time. <br><br>"It was a good fight, and thank you," she said proudly, feeling her cheeks blush. April adjusted so that her back was against the fireplace stones and she could better look at her brother as he lay out across the living room floor. "I've worked really hard to keep all my senses sharp. Guess it's paid off," she added with a light smile. She could feel the sexual tension in the room fading as both of them took control of themselves once more. She was thankful for it. Pheremones were powerful things and she wouldn't have been very pleased had she or her brother let them get in the way of their playful wrestling. Indeed, she felt bad about even thinking of the whole scene as arousing at all, despite the pheremones. <br><br>She took a deep breath and rested her head back against the cool bricks. There was a deep seeded contentment within her. She knew it was the void her brothers absence had left being slowly filled by his new found dedication to family. It pleased her more than she ever would have thought to have her brother involved, playful and caring. What she wouldn't have given to have this during her entire childhood. But that was then and she knew there was no point dwelling on it. That pain would fade with each new day that he tried to mend those wrongs. April couldn't be mad at him. She wanted too much to be close to him to stay mad at him.<br><br>"I really got into fighting a couple years ago," she said softly and without prompting. Her eyes stared off a bit as she thought of her last relationship. After her wrestling with Vincent, she didn't mind telling him more of that relationship. Their talking and physical bonding made them feel close enough for her to do so safely. "Derek was....rough around the edges I guess," she said with a light smile as she glanced down at her brother. "He was, in a lot of ways, like you were during your adolescence if you can believe it." It amused April to think that she had ended up with someone so like her brother, stubborn and looking for a fight, but he, like her brother, had his good days and his good points. "Anyways, he was always angry about something and when we lived together, was always yelling at me for something. I figured it was only a matter of time until he tried something else, so I started taking classes. That paired with our natural instincts and reflexes and I knew he wouldn't be able to do anything." She let out a content sigh. "He tried to once I think, drew his hand back. I knocked him on his ass with a single blow to his solar plexus. It wasn't long after that that I left him and moved back here. I never told mom and dad the whole story, but I think they knew." <br><br>April smiled a bit as she thought about their parents. They had been pleased she had come home, knowing that school had not been going the best for her because of the relationship. She was sure they could scent him on her as well, could tell how much anger he had just from that. She could, after all, always tell when he was a bad mood the moment she entered the apartment. There was something in emotions that changed the air at times, even if April had never quite figured it out. Their parents had been so eager to give her their place and move up to the mountains. It was then she started doing weekly runs with them, continuing to test her skills and to bond with her parents after her little while away. Thinking about them though made her stomach ache with grief. It made her feel sick and hurt at the same time.<br><br>She looked to her brother and smiled. "But no matter, I'm glad my skills have helped me best you as well. Hopefully, they will help later as well." April quipped, referring to his last comment with a bit of fire in her eyes. She had no intention of losing again, but knew that he would be better prepared next time regardless. He now knew his opponent that much more. "It's getting dark. Perhaps we should unpack and get settled in some before we go out on our run?" April asked. She was eager to settle in. While she didn't need to be here, it was the best option for them right now. It was secluded, cozy and really, provided the best means for them to talk in private about what happened to their parents. April was just waiting for the right time, the right moment, to talk to him about it. With each passing moment, she was sure Vincent would believe her though. He just had to. <br><br>April rose easily, her long legs pushing her upwards so that she stood over her brother. She reached down to offer him a hand. Even after all the rough housing, her skin was still a fair soft color, much like their mothers. Only her cheeks seemed to have reddened that much more with their activity. A few auburn locks spilled out in front of her face as she looked to her brother, but she left them there for the moment, focusing her emerald eyes on him even through the strands. "We shouldn't go for a run right after our wrestling anyways," she added softly. April hoped he understood why. She knew her own emotions needed to simmer down and could only imagine how his were. He didn't shift nearly as much as she did, so she figured his animal urges would be stronger.

				Vincent used his sister’s words to guide him back to his humanity as he listened to her speak of her past relationship. Even though he was firmly back in control of himself, he still felt the primal side of his mind stirring restlessly like a caged wolf pacing within its enclosure. The competition had been everything he had remembered and far more enjoyable now that they were not only capable, but reasonable opponents. Though he had never expected the effects April’s pheromones would have upon him and was surprised they had hit him so hard. Even now he felt allure to commit all sorts of social taboos with his sister despite the waning of his animalistic mentality. He was both glad and disappointed the match ended when it did; knowing he had lost control of himself he didn’t want to do anything that would put a strain on their rekindled relationship, but he certainly wanted to do something that would likely result in that. Those desires were only encouraged when she openly admitted the similarity her ex had with him, giving him a false sense of hope that the forbidden attraction was mutual on some level.<br><br>A sense of pride played across his demeanor when April told him about how she dealt with her ex. Despite the grudges he held for her in school, Vincent never let a guy get away with mistreating her as long as he had any idea about it. When that protective nature combined with his lack of regard for school rules, it brought about several incidents that got him in trouble with the faculty as well as his parents. The only thing that changed was the fact he was too far away after moving out to continue playing the role of his little sister’s guardian. There had been several instances where he worried for her, afraid her naivety would leave her vulnerable to the real world. It was a relief being able to not only hear, but bear firsthand witness to just how capable she truly was. April didn’t need her older brother looking after her, but it wasn’t like that fact would deter him from doing so.<br><br><em>”It’s getting dark. Perhaps we should unpack and get settled in some before we go out on our run? We shouldn’t go for a run right after our wrestling anyways.”</em><br><br>Vincent pondered that statement as he took her hand so that she could help him back to his feet. As he did so, he was a little too aware of just how pleasant her skin was to the touch and the primal wanton stirring in the recesses of his mind made him see the merit in the idea. Even if he couldn’t be sure which side of him was craving her intimate companionship, he was a little nervous that it could very well be both. “Yeah, that’s probably a good call. While I’m at it, I’m probably going to take a quick” <em>cold</em> “shower. It’s been a little while since I’ve roughhoused like that and I’m still a little stiff from the flight. What do you think, shave or no shave?” He asked cupping his chin in one hand, shifting the direction of his head allowing her to judge the appearance of his stubble and the strong jaw line beneath.

				April helped her brother up and thought over his words. He must have felt the same way she had because he needed a shower. Given they were going to go running in a short while, there was no real reason for him to shower other than to shake off the power of their scents. She smiled though and nodded. "Alright, that sounds fine. I'll get to unpacking then."<br><br>As she helped him up, she couldn't help but feel the roughness of his hands and just how much larger than her own they were. She mused for a moment on the fact that he was no longer a boy, but a man, with man hands, a mans beard, a mans...April caught herself. The pheremones in the room were surely still affecting herself. Still, it didn't cease to amaze her how much her brother had grown.<br><br>"You're asking me?" she said with a slightly raised eyebrow. She didn't judge him on the fact though. April felt that it was&nbsp; a bit personal and wondered, much like he had about her earlier, if he was flirting with her. She bit her bottom lip lightly in thought. There was no easy way to discern what the proper sisterly response would be. All she knew was that she liked the rugged rough look on him. Even that thought didn't seem entirely pure. April finally shrugged. "Well, you can always shave tomorrow. There's no real need to shave off your mountain man beard tonight," she added with a chuckle, trying to play things off and hide her real thoughts, both from herself and from him.<br><br>She moved away from him and headed to her bedroom. With each step, her boots clicked and seemed to echo through out the hallway. Her hips swayed as gently as the moment she had stepped in through the door. April left the door open. Vincent was going to shower and she didn't plan on changing or anything, so there was no reason to shut him out. Her duffel bag was still on the bed, right where she had left it and without much hesitation, April set out to unpack her things. She didn't know how long they were going to stay up there. She had a place of her own after all, less than an hour away, but this had always felt more like home than her parents other house. This cabin was where holidays were spent, many a hunt took place and where she and her brother were raised as pups. While her parents raised them when they were a bit older at the very house she now occupied, it had been much easier to raise young wolf pups, adjusting to their forms, away from prying eyes of neighbors.<br><br>She set her clothes in the dresser, losing herself in her thoughts for a bit. The room itself smelled old, but not in a bad way. Without the enticing pheremones of her brothers sweat, she was reminded of their current situation. She tucked all her clothes neatly in their own drawer before laying out on her bed. April let out a soft sigh and curled up on her side. Her auburn locks spilled down across her face and she left them there. It wasn't fair, she kept thinking. It wasn't fair that they weren't here to see her brother, to see how much he had grown, to see how their children were getting along. It wasn't fair how they had surely been killed for no other reason other than being themselves, for who they were at heart. The police report said it was an accident, that they had been shot during a freak hunting accident, but she knew better. They never ventured out so far from the cabin and despised hunting. Why would they have then been within the bounds of hunters?<br><br>Slowly, April let her tears roll out of her eyes, staining her cheeks as they fell and soaking into the material of her pillow. Her sobs were quiet and strong, almost as if the very act of crying was being done only out of necessity. In a way, it was. She didn't like it, but knew that it would help ease some of the pain. More so, April didn't want to do it in front of her brother. He was dealing with enough worries regarding their family. The weariness from the drive and the days events soon lulled her to sleep. It would just be a nap, but her form remained curled up on the bed for a short while, taking an apparently much needed rest.

				Vincent shot his sister a toothy smile with her decision that he should keep the roguish scruff a little longer.&nbsp; "Well if there's any place to accentuate my virility, it's definitely a place surrounded by wilderness.&nbsp; Perhaps I should chop some wood to complete the image."&nbsp; It wasn't until after they parted ways to attend to their individual tasks that he realized the flirtatious undertones of his question and response.&nbsp; Even though she was a little timid about it, she still didn't mind voicing her preference and playing along with him a little bit.&nbsp; Looking over his shoulder, he watched the enticing sway of her hips as she walked to her room with more than a modest amount of interest.<br><br><em>Dammit man, that's your sister!</em>&nbsp; With a fresh dose of guilt and confusion, he forced his gaze away from April's effeminate form and made his way to his room.&nbsp; No time was spent unpacking his bag as he instead grabbed a towel from the closet and made his way into the shower.&nbsp; Vincent let out an audible gasp as the freezing water soaked his abdomen and groin, virtually stealing the breath right out of him as he fought the instinct to retreat from the chilling spray.&nbsp; After a second spent psyching himself up, he plunged his head into the shower and felt his thoughts become sober almost instantly.&nbsp; Just to be safe he held himself there for several seconds longer just to make sure he had sufficiently drowned out any lingering erotic thoughts about his sister from his mind before turning the knob with the "H" on it.<br><br>He was relieved the moment he felt some warmth blend into the stream, allowing his muscles to relax as steam begun to billow within the glass enclosure.&nbsp; There was no place more serene to him than under the warm rain of the showerhead, using his little slice of enlightenment to reorganize his thoughts.&nbsp; Had he lost track of the line between what is right and wrong behavior between siblings?&nbsp; Was it not only that he loved his sister, but was falling <strong>in love</strong> with his sister?&nbsp; These questions and dozens more ran through Vincent's mind as it was now able to process them even if he had very few answers to them.&nbsp; Whatever he was feeling, April hadn't reacted in a way to suggest that any line was crossed.&nbsp; Perhaps he was just overreacting to being on unfamiliar ground.<br><br>It wasn't until half an hour later that Vincent had finished his meditative shower and cut off the water.&nbsp; Drying off, he looked down at his clothes for a moment remembering that he had wrestled in them.&nbsp; Doing as any guy would, he gave them the sniff test and once again his nose was filled with the wonderful aroma of his sister's scent that blended with his own.&nbsp; Present as they were, it wasn't an overwhelming smell since their bout ended before either of them could work up a real sweat.&nbsp; Plus it just didn't make sense to put on clean clothes only to abandon them in the wilderness for however long they were going to be out.<br><br>Getting dressed once again, Vincent made his way to April's room to see if she was about ready to head out.&nbsp; Instead he found his sister curled cozily upon the bed, her breathing heavy with sleep.&nbsp; The sight tugged the corners of his lips into a shallow smile as he couldn't help but take the opportunity to openly marvel at the woman she had become.&nbsp; It didn't have so much to do with physical beauty as it did with the more subtle signs of how she lived her life these past several years.&nbsp; The smile abruptly faded into a faint frown as he got a closer look at her face and could pick up on the fact that something was troubling her.&nbsp; At that moment, she looked alone and in need of somebody to be by her side.&nbsp; He wanted to be that somebody.<br><br>Walking over to the bed, Vincent hesitated for several seconds before he worked up the courage to pull himself upon it.&nbsp; From there he made his way closer to his sister until his chest pressed against her back.&nbsp; She did not rouse from her sleep, so he took the opportunity to drape his arm around her pulling her into a comforting embrace.&nbsp; This time she stirred, reacting to his presence by pressing back against him even though she was still asleep.&nbsp; With a nervous swallow, he decided to go for broke and curled his legs upward until they pressed against hers.&nbsp; And so the two siblings lay there spooning together, one asleep while the other was nervous about what would happen when his sister woke.<br><br>Would she recognize it as his brother offering unconditional support and comfort or would she see it as being something more?&nbsp; Vincent hoped she knew the answer, because he was unsure what it was himself.&nbsp; All he knew was that it felt right even if just a little wrong.

				April stirred just a bit from her nap as her brother wrapped his arm around her. She was still asleep, but with each new movement on the bed, she became more and more lucid. As he snuggled his legs up to her own, she felt herself getting pulled awake. April let out a light groan as she stirred a bit more, her body moving some, but finding she was securely held by strong arms and a solid frame. In her half asleep state, she felt comforted by his embrace. Her groan turned into a soft moan and her form relaxed into his hold. She wanted to just go back to sleep, to just continue to forget about everything, to keep the strong arms around her.<br><br>That was when she realized, she wasn't with Dereck anymore. She wasn't with any man and there shouldn't be anyone holding her. April jolted awake and quickly turned over with a bit of fear in her eyes. As she saw her brother, her body relaxed just a little bit. It wasn't some random stranger after all. "Vincent," she said quickly, reaching up to rub her eyes a little bit. "What are you doing in here," she asked softly as she sat up in bed, moving away from his arms and away from their spooning position. Her heart was still racing, getting over the panic of waking up with someone unexpected, but slowly, she was waking up and accepting that it was just her brother.<br><br>Then, as she woke up more, that stirred even more questions. What was she supposed to think about her brother hugging to her form in that way? She had never had the brother that other women may have had. The only male she had a strong relationship with was her father and he was always affectionate. Certainly it wasn't bad for her brother to be cuddled up with her in such a way. But deep down, she felt guilty for it, felt awkward for allowing it. April cleared her throat and kept her gaze away from her brothers. She didn't know what to say. He had felt so good, so warm and so strong. She wanted it to be ok for him to hold her. <br><br>Perhaps that was all it was, she thought, him just holding her. But really, with everything that had been going on, she knew it might be something more. That, in and of itself, worried her. She didn't know what to think of that. Could she be looking to her brother as something more than a brother? Could he be looking to her as more than a sister? Was it wrong? Why couldn't they become a strong pair, friends, support? But even April knew that they were not at that line. They were two adults, looking at each other like two adults. The years for developing that kind of sibling relationship had perhaps passed already and all that was left was the partnership that occurred between two adults. Still, she hoped they could rekindle the remnant of a sibling relationship, her leaning on him like a brother and him seeing her as his little sister. She hoped that their playful banter, wrestling or affection could be just that of siblings. <br><br>"I'm sorry I fell asleep on you," she said softly, stretching a little bit. "Guess we should get going hm? I'm clearly in need of a bed time sooner than later," she added with a soft chuckle. It was April's attempt at changing the subject, keeping things light and friendly. She didn't want to talk to her brother about her feelings. She didn't want to talk to her brother about the difficulties of their relationship. As strong as she was, she couldn't bring herself to talk about it. It was awkward and painful in a way that she didn't yet feel strong enough to handle. She wanted her brother damnit! The last thing she could bring herself to do was risk scaring him off by suggesting they not be so close.<br><br>April eased out of bed and stretched a bit again. After slipping on her shoes and checking to see if Vincent was ready, April would head out the back door in the kitchen into the woods. The moon was high and illuminated the forest around them. Tall pine and redwood trees surrounded the cabin, creating shadows that danced and moved across the landscape. April took a deep breath and inhaled the scent of trees and dirt and wildlife that was essentially the backyard. "Isn't it beautiful," she said softly, almost completely forgetting about her worries of her brother. In this respect, being one with nature, being at one with her animal side, she didn't have to worry. She and her brother could just be what they were and enjoy the experience together as siblings. April didn't think about the changing back to their human forms after running in their wolf forms though. Their animal instincts would still be alert, but their bodies would be fully human, every curve and part.<br><br>She moved to one side of the cabin so that she could take off her clothes and trusted her brother to do the same where he was so that she wouldn't see him. April dropped her jeans and her top first, standing in her bra and panties for a moment, focusing on the nature around her. She snapped herself out of it, knowing the wolf inside was calling to her in the only way it could. She stripped the remaining clothes that she had and stood stark naked in the night air. The breeze brushed across her flesh and she closed her eyes, feeling it move across her. It moved her hair as it moved past her and with a deep breath, April decided to shift. Her limbs contorted and bones cracked. With a deep groan, she endured the discomfort that came with shifting and doubled over to the ground. Her back arched and her spine formed to that of a wolfs. Her nose stretched out and her limbs changed to those of a wolf as well. Her groan became a deep howl just as a deep auburn fur covered her body. With a final shake, she got rid of all the ache and all the sensations of her human body. Bright yellow eyes stared out at the world now as her wolf form padded softly towards where her brother was.

				Vincent’s heart pumped hard when he felt April begin to rouse as the moment of truth approached. He was excited when he felt her initial response of pressing back into him affectionately while getting cozy within his embrace, but he knew better than to think he was in the clear. Just as he had expected, his sister had envisioned another being the one who cuddled her and when her mind remembered where she was, he eased up on his embrace so that he wouldn’t be restraining her if she attempted to retreat from him. Her initial fear subsided once she recognized who had been the big spoon even if there was still a slight awkwardness left it its wake.<br><br><em>”Vincent, what are you doing here.”</em><br><br>“Sorry if I startled you.” He replied sheepishly, “I came in to see if you were about ready, but saw you napping. I can’t really explain how, but I got the impression that you were wanting somebody to hold you for a bit... Like you were having an unpleasant dream. So I was trying to comfort you like I did when we were younger.” Vincent still vividly remembered the few times where April had nightmares when she was a little too old to seek refuge in her parents bed, but too young to want to face her fears alone. With nowhere else to turn, she sought comfort from her brave older brother who was glad to reassure her that she was safe. That had been back before his resentful teen years that changed his relationship with everybody in the family. They were older now and he needed to remember that what was innocent for children could be inappropriate for adults, regardless how much he may want it. “I hope I didn’t cross a line…”<br><br><em>I’m sorry I fell asleep on you. Guess we should get going hm? I’m clearly in need of a bed time sooner than later.”</em><br><br>A grin spread across Vincent’s lips, thankful to move away from that awkward moment. “What’s that sis? Sounds to me like you are making up preemptive excuses for why I end up beating you in our rematch.” Having not bothered to put his socks back on after his shower, he followed his sister barefooted so there would be less he needed to keep track of. The grass beneath his feet was lush and soft as he allowed himself to savor the wealth of scents all around him that were rich with wildlife and earthy undertones. <em>”Isn’t it beautiful?”</em> Vincent sucked in a deep breath, savoring all the sensations nature had to offer his keen senses. “God, I missed nights like these.” He could already feel his wild side beginning to stir impatiently, eager to be let loose and live as a wolf should. Watching as April made her way to the side of the house and away from his line of sight, he decided there was no need to delay.<br><br>Throwing off his clothing into a disorganized pile on the lawn, he stood there in all of his glory and savored the feeling of the night air’s caress of his recently washed skin. A chill raced down his spine from excitement rather than cold and Vincent couldn’t wait any longer. The discomfort with his transformation bordered on pain as a result of his body not being used to the strain that comes with shifting. Gritting his teeth and bearing through the pain for those few seconds without so much as a whimper until a wolf with fur the color of a midnight sky resided where he once stood. Had he been standing in shadow rather than the pale moonlight, the only way human eyes would have been able to detect him would be from his golden predatory hues. He heard the soft rustling of grass under her paws with a twitch of his ear before he had seen or smelt his sister and he turned to face her with a bushy tail wagging in broad swings. A long pink tongue bobbed up and down from his opened maw as he recognized the auburn furred figure of his sister and pack.<br><br>Vincent was eager to belong to a pack once more, even if it was only going to be the two of them. Even his wolf mentality yearned for companionship and it finally had found its counterpart.

				April padded over to her brother and took in his other form. Even that had matured. He was as black as ever though, eyes steely and focused even in the night. He had always had powerful eyes, even as a pup. He ran with an all or nothing vigor that she had loved competing with. Her own large pink tongue hung out of her mouth as she beamed at him, her tail happily swishing back and forth in greeting. She was very pleased to see him in this form, the other member of her pack, her brother back and bonding with her again.<br><br>As she took him in though, April couldn't help but briefly remember their encounter in her bedroom. His words echoed in her mind though, "I hope I didn't cross the line." In some way, it assuaged all of her worries about them. He had meant it innocently enough, just wanted to be close. Perhaps she had been overeacting before. Perhaps, she thought, he was just being an affectionate big brother. But as her wolfen eyes took in the night sky above them and she could feel the breeze rustling her fur, she cared less and less about what had happened. Her animal side was dominating her and she relished in the sweet release it provided her psyche. <br><br>April moved closer to her brother and sniffed him a bit. She walked alongside him and took in his scent. He smelled the same as he did while they were human, earthy and musky, she could smell him even more now. As a wolf, with a longer snout and a body tuned in with life in the wilf, she was much better at using all of her senses. Her nose moved over his ears and over his back some, taking him in as her tail swished gently side by side. Sure, she knew her brother, but she couldn't help but want to greet him and bond with him in the most basic animial way. As she sniffed him, her own body was left for him to sniff as well. <br><br>After a few moments, April felt satisfied that she had soaked up all of her brothers scent that she could. It wasn't like she wouldn't be seeing him for the rest of the night, but something felt right about acting like she was. As a wolf, there wasn't any worries of upsetting him or overstepping bounds because they were just two wolves, two animals responding like they would in the wild. She stepped aside and sat on her furry bottom. Her yellow eyes looked up to the sky and took in the moon. Not wanting to waste anymore time, April lifted her head to the sky and opened her mouth. Coming from deep down in her belly, April let out a deep howl, crying out to the moon and initiating their run. She had never thought of herself as alpha, but she did run more often than he did, so it only felt right that she set them off right.<br><br>Waiting for her brothers howl, April stayed where she was, letting out another howl into the night. The sound echoed through the trees and as her brother howled with her, it would only magnify and crash against the wild expanse of land before them. Then she was off. April darted straight through the trees behind the cabin, her feet skillfully manuevering over logs and random brush, curving around trees and bushes even in the darkness. The sounds from the night rang in her ears and her heart pounded in her chest. As she ran, April let her tongue hang out a bit, enjoying the rush, feeling free and as at peace as ever. Her brother was with her and even though her parents weren't there to run with them, she was running with family, the onlly other person she could trust showing her true form to.

				Vincent reciprocated his sister’s primal greeting as he inhaled her scent with his sensitive sense of smell made keener by his new form.&nbsp; Her aroma was as unique as a finger print, though it had changed slightly over the years it was still undeniably hers in its effeminately earthy fragrance that held faint sweet notes.&nbsp; He could also identify those of his departed parents, a bittersweet memory that was both comforting and sobering.&nbsp; Those were the three that stood out the most among a menagerie of other scents from the various people and places she had been over the past few days that hadn’t quite faded away yet.<br><br>Once their canine reunion had come to its natural end Vincent mirrored April’s actions, watching her motions with humanly intelligent eyes.&nbsp; Though he was in his wolf form, he had been accustomed to not fully letting go of his awareness.&nbsp; Without a pack to run with and to protect one another, it was up to him to remain alert to the dangers that only a human could comprehend.&nbsp; Now he had his sister by his side and he could finally do what came naturally.&nbsp; As his sister raised her muzzle to the heavens, Vincent let go of the mental leash that held his wild side in check and his wild side cried with vibrant elation to the moon overhead.&nbsp; It was him and his sister singing in the pale moonlight having reunited as a pack.&nbsp; Everything was right with the world.<br><br>Though he was the older of the two, the wolf within Vincent knew that she had seniority and it was only right to assume her as acting alpha until they had a chance to establish rank in their games this night.&nbsp; There wasn’t an instant of delay from when April took off in a sprint before he followed in tight formation at her flank still giving her a short distance of lead.&nbsp; It had been far too long since he’d gotten to run like this as long powerful strides carried him through the trees, nimbly navigating around rocks, roots, and logs without issue.&nbsp; Wind swept over his pelt, kissing his hide with a refreshing cool breeze as he savored every moment of their run.&nbsp; Every now and then he would cast a quick glance over towards his sister to follow her lead as well as reassure himself that she really was there.<br><br>The air was rich with wildlife and his body ached for the thrill of the hunt.&nbsp; Even if they didn’t fell prey, he wanted to feel the adrenaline course through his veins as they pursued worthy quarry.&nbsp; To prove the merit of his strength and that time had done nothing to wane his skills as a competent hunter.&nbsp; For several more minutes they ran until he heard the gentle stirring of underbrush that pulled his attention to the side.&nbsp; It was there he spotted the luminescent eyes of a grown buck locking with his own.&nbsp; Unsure of whether his sister had also noticed the potential game, he let out a low growl that acknowledged its presence.&nbsp; As he did so, the buck turned and begun to flee. Though his instincts told him to make chase, he waited to follow his sister’s lead as was her duty as alpha.&nbsp; Vincent was no longer a lone wolf; he had another whom he had to take into consideration and he was glad for that.

				April rushed along through the woods, delving deeper and deeper into the wildlife. Her form danced among fallen branches and bushes, darting this way and that as she created her own path. The moonlight glinted off of the occasional rock and spread out disproportionately through the tree canopy. It both mystified her and calmed her. Even as she ran, the sighs around her did not go unnoticed after all. She didn't even have to look to her brother to know where he was. She could hear his every step, almost simultaneous with her own. It pleased her to know he was running with her. Running alone had never made her very happy. It didn't settle well with the true animal she was inside.<br><br>As they ran, her tongue lolled out of her mouth happily, but her attention was garnered as she too saw the buck ahead. Her fluffy ears picked up on the low growl her brother let out and if she had been a human, she would have chuckled. She didn't really know why, but something about it seemed childlike, excited in a fresh way from her own. But April did not show him her amusement at all, for it was hers to enjoy alone. Even so, that was only for the briefest moment. She picked up the bucks movement and darted off towards it, knowing exactly what her brother wanted.<br><br>She and their parents had never actually caught live prey. While she imagined her parents had in their youth or when they ran together, she figured they never wanted to show their daughter that side. It was highly animalistic and in a world where they didn't need to hunt for food, it would be selfish to take the life of an animal just for fun, especially when they themselves were animals. But, April did enjoy running after something and her smaller form was perfectly adept at curving around trees and pursuing. So she set their game into motion. Her paws outstretched before her as her body rushed towards their prey in long strides. She could hear her brother running alongside her still, eager to chase live prey. The more she ran after it, the more she too felt the exhilaration of the hunt. <br><br>The buck bounded away from them, but April was doing her best to keep up. Damn deer, she thought, nimble little bastards. And they were. Their legs were meant for eluding prey and without a full pack to chase and corner the buck, April knew it was just a matter of time before she and her brother tired out and the buck eluded their figurative grasp. Even with as fast as she was trying to run, the buck was managing to get just a few more feet of distance with each passing second it seemed. Finally, as the fatigue from their run started to sink in and the buck was further away than April wanted to try and catch up with, she slowed her pace and finally stopped underneath a large pine tree.<br><br>Her form flopped on to the ground and her pink tongue stretched out of her mouth in an attempt to catch her breath. Her yellow eyes took in her brother, seeing if he was as worn out, as happy and as content to stop. She figured he was all three, but she needed to check. Even as an animal, all of this was new for the two of them to be doing together. It worried her a bit still, that something might go wrong, that she might lose the brother she had really only just gained. April glanced away from him once satisfied and took in the area around them. Her senses were still alert, though her body was resting. She inhaled the scent of the trees deep into her lungs. The pine tree they were under had sap around it and she could smell it that much stronger because of it. The smell was soothing and reminded her of Christmas. Her eyes took in the light around them, noting the cool shadows and wary of anything that might be within. While fast, they were still vulnerable. It wasn't always safe for a wolf to be in human territory, which by all accounts, they were. But the night was silent aside from the occasional wind dancing through the leaves. She took a deep breath and let her eyes close for a moment, just taking it all in. Yes, she would sleep well tonight, she thought. <br><br>

				Excitement hummed through Vincent’s body like a live wire as they veered their path to pursue the buck. Both aspects of his being reveled in the thrill of the chase, especially with a partner to share in the fun. It had been some time since he’d given up on the prospect of going up against such large game once he realized the danger of the quarry calling his bluff and challenging the lone wolf. It was after that lesson was beaten into him, more literally than figuratively, that he first begun to doubt his choice in moving out on his own. Without his family there to help, it had been a near thing that he managed to make it out of that encounter alive. It was a completely different ordeal making his way back to civilization for medical treatment with a few cracked ribs and broken wrist that only furthered his appreciation for what he had so foolishly thrown away. Though he never told his family about that incident, it was the day he got discharged from the hospital that he made his first call home since leaving.<br><br>Since then he stuck with hunting small game such as rabbits and squirrels that didn’t pose as much of a threat to his well being and were still moderately fun to catch. Not that he ever did anything but release them once he had proven himself capable of catching them; that had been one of the few parental lessons Vincent never strayed from. Now that he had April at his side, he felt emboldened as though the two of them had the potential to take on the world. Granted, he was not foolish enough fall into the trap of thinking themselves being impervious to harm or bad luck, but it was enough to give him the jolt he needed to pull himself out of the despair that had haunted him for months.<br><br>Despite how hard the two worked to keep pace, the buck managed to gradually increase its lead until he too felt fatigue burning into his muscles. There was only a fleeting feeling of minor disappointment as they gave up the chase. Vincent had always dreamed of tagging his first buck as he called it, but still couldn’t really fathom how it would be achieved. With smaller game he would call victory once he had it dangling in his teeth by the scruff of the neck, but such a thing was hardly feasible for something as large as a deer. In fact, attempting to do something to take it down would likely hurt one, if not both parties involved. Perhaps the day would eventually come where he would figure out his definition of victory against such a large quarry, but until then he would keep a spot free in his mental trophy case. Regardless of the outcome, it was a good chase and Vincent was pleased with how they had done so he didn’t mind taking a much needed breather as his pink tongue bobbed in time with his quick breathing.<br><br>Vincent sat in front of his sister’s prone figure under the pine tree, allowing his gaze to remain locked with hers to show the joy that he could no longer vocalize to her through traditional speech. She had been the first to break the gaze and he noticed the way she remained alert. Almost as if on edge as though a very real danger lurked in the woods around them. It had been some time since he’d ran through these woods in this form and all of his memories of doing so had come with a feeling of security as though the wilderness was their own private sanctuary. Though that had been when he was still young and had his parents looking over them, protecting them from anything that may be a threat. The way April reacted suggested it was something more than the absence of their guardians that made her uneasy. Had something changed in these woods over the years? Was there something she was holding back from telling him? He wanted to asked, but without words to do so he settled for a quizzical tilt of the head to the subtle concern she expressed for their surroundings.

				April turned her attention to her brother as he whined some. She could see that he was concerned, even as a wolf, and she had to remind herself that he didn't know. She had yet to discuss with him the details of their parents death, the official details and the suspected details of it. April smiled a bit at him, as much as a wolf could that was. With a slow deliberate motion, April stuck her head out a bit and gave her brother a gentle lick of comfort, her tongue lashing across his muzzle. She didn't want him to worry right now. It was a time to be free and relaxed, not to worry about human things. <br><br>April knew she would have to tell her brother later what happened though. Perhaps she put it off because she didn't even want to accept it. It sent a child through her everytime she played back the police coming to her door. The uncertainty of it all and then the realization of what it must be for, given the full moon that hung high in the sky that night. They claimed her parents had been killed in a hunting accident, found at a campsite, each shot with a bullet. The police said there was no evidence of foul play and no gun had been found. All there was was a 911 call from an anonomous male saying he had accidently shot a man and possibly a woman while trying to hit a bear. The police could not find the man, but understood it to be a tragic accident. April knew better.<br><br>Her parents never hunted. Why would they when they themselves were animals? More so, the night had been a full moon and her parents often ran in their wolf form that night. They would not have been anywhere near that campsite, but rather would have been in the woods that was their backyard. So what had actually happened and who had actually killed them remained a mystery, but not something that she could let go. Deep down she was afraid for her own safety and now her brothers. Whoever had killed them had to know what they were and could potentially know what she and her brother were as well. <br><br>She rolled over on to her side and continued to look at her brother. Vincent had bright eyes, even in the night, and fur that helped him blend into the night. Her own fur seemed to reflect the moonlight a bit, flashing off of her auburn fur as she rolled around a bit. Her tongue hung out of her mouth and she reached out a paw to bat at her brothers face. It was a light hint of playing, but true to her real nature. She wasn't concerned with the tension between them, with the curiousness of their new relationship or the details of their parents death like she was as a human. All she could feel was the tugging of her natural inclinations, urging her to play and partake in pack like tendencies. April managed to scoot herself a bit closer to him, still on her side as she crawled and reached out to bat at his face again. It was small, but it was her way of taking their mind off of the whole thing and putting them on what mattered right now.<br><br>After a moment of pawing at him, she stretched out to try and bite his neck playfully, knowing her sharp teeth would only claim the mass of fur around his neck with a hint of skin. April was still a bit tired and didn't want to wrestle too much right now, but she wanted to engage her brother in play much like they used to. Yes, she remembered running through the forest with their parents and then wrestling for what seemed hours after their parents had already settled in some grass. This was before her brother had changed and rejected them in a way. It was an innocent time, a carefree time. Oh what she wouldn't give to be back at a time like that. Even as she baited her brother into her childish play, she could feel the threat of worry, waiting for her once she turned back into her human form.<br><br>For now, all she could see was the beautiful wolf that her brother was. She nibbled on his neck and let out a playful growl. She still lay on her side, revealing the lighter underside of her belly, and she made no move to get up to attack him. It was more affectionate and loving play, but she was fine with that. It still spoke to her true nature and the wonderful times that they had had while they were young. Her growls and whimpers seemed to echoe in the night, bouncing off of the trees and dancing around the shadows that surrounded them. It was just the two of them in the night after all, the sounds of the crickets in the distance standing as the only hint of any remote civilization. As April allowed herself to engage him that much more in their pup like play, she felt more and more at one with nature and the woods that were their backyard. Her tail swished back and forth against the pine needles and her happiness grew with each passion moment.

				The affectionate lick across his muzzle did little to mitigate his concern for whatever weight was upon his sister's shoulders, but he understood that she was not yet ready to share that burden.&nbsp; Vincent wasn't going to press matters, trusting his sister would come to him when she was ready.&nbsp; For now it was time for them to rebuild a sibling bond that had gone neglected for far too long.&nbsp; He chuckled inwardly as he felt his sister's paw bat at his muzzle and decided to play coy with his lazy playmate by turning his head away looking at her through his peripheries in faux standoffishness that was entirely betrayed by the way his plumed tail raked back and forth across the ground. When the next strike came, Vincent attempted to deflect it with his own paw only to find open air as once again his muzzle was struck.&nbsp; Excited happiness warmed him as they begun to play lazily with one another.<br><br>He had been more successful deflecting the few more bats that she tried to throw at him all while doing his best to maintain an aloof stance despite the fact that his tail only continued to wag with more and more enthusiasm.&nbsp; A laugh would have bubbled out of his throat if it could when he felt his sister's maw clamp down harmlessly on the fur at his neck.&nbsp; Only then did he break his bluff leaping back slightly returning to all fours before assuming a playful stance with his hind quarters raised while his forequarters were lowered into a ready stance as his eyes met with Aprils.&nbsp; It would be easy to see the joy shining brightly within his golden hues.<br><br>Returning the favor he begun batting in her direction, though he was a little too far back to actually land anything so their paws just swatted lazily at one another.&nbsp; After a few volleys of that he moved in and wedged his muzzle between the ground and her side that rested upon it.&nbsp; When he did so his nose became washed with her appealing effeminate aroma.&nbsp; Once he was in place he begun wiggling and prying his muzzle deeper beneath her in an attempt to roll her over or force her to reposition herself.&nbsp; If she wanted to lay about on the cool grass while still insisting on playing with him, he wouldn't make it easy on her to have both at the same time.

				April took him in as he returned her playful gestures. It warmed her heart and spoke to the deepest part of her to engage with her brother in such a way. Even as the animal she was, her eyes seemed to take him in with an all too human respect for the wonderful creature that he was. His large tail swished back and forth, telling her of his happiness and also how much he had grown since they were pups. April was sure that he was just as big as their father was before his death. Of course, their father was probably a bit larger, just because of his age, but her brother was a massive man even in his human form, so his wolf form could only follow suit. Her golden flecked gaze took him in still as his tongue lolled out of his mouth and he batted at her a bit, not really able to reach her, but wanting to engage none the less. She could see the power in his limbs and the difference in size between his paws and her own.<br><br>Despite her human observations, April was tugged at by her animal nature. She couldn't help but show her own happiness and enthusiasm. She stayed laying where she was for the moment, watching him and almost laughing a bit as her tongue hung out of her mouth, a bit off to the side. She knew they would have to get down to business sooner than later though, play business that was. April knew that she couldn't just lay here and risk him getting one up on her for the whole night. No, she wanted to assert herself like before, wrestle with him in this form like they used to, like a pack would, like she knew they both needed in order for their sibling relationship to be anything like what it could have been before. <br><br>Just as she thought it, her brother seemed to as well. Vincent pushed his muzzle into her side and thrust against her, trying to roll her over. April looked as though she was still laughing, enjoying his attempt to get her up and playing. Perhaps I have been lazy for too long now brother, she thought to herself. Then, with a bit of a jump just as his muzzle pushed that much more into her ribs, April sprang up to all fours and took the same playful stance that he had before. Her rear was in the air and she stared up at him as her head rested near her front paws. Her energy was back, as she was sure his was, so she figured she might as well play now and start to drive them back to the house so they could head in for the night. While the urge to stay out under the moonlight was strong, she knew better.<br><br>April let out a playful bark, not quite a yip but not as loud as her howl earlier in the night. She invited him to come and get her as she bounced a bit around him, jumping here and there, but each time she landed, she took the same playful stance that all their kind took during such times. Her golden eyes stared out at him, taking him in, waiting for each of his moves. Oh April liked being alpha and she was determined to keep it for as long as she could. Even in play, she didn't plan on making things easy for him.<br><br>As soon as he decided to come at her, April would attempt to dodge before moving to bite down on his neck like she had before. Biting at the scruff was harmless, but it was a show of playfulness as well as dominance. She liked being able to do that to her brother, toy with him, tease him even if there were no words in the moment. She wasn't afraid of the repracutions anymore or what he might think. All she could do was act on her animal urges and needs, the need to be part of the pack with him, the urge to remain in dominance and the urge to be closer to her brother than they were before. If she had to mess with him, well that was fine with her. <br><br>April soon dashed off, eager to run again and have him pursue her. Of course, she would be attuned as to whether or not he was pursuing her. She hoped that by biting at him and evading him as best she could, that he would have no desire but to chase her. April, as current alpha, also knew that her brother was probably a bit rusty or out of touch. He lived in the city and had been away from the pack for so long. She had to know if he still knew how to be part of a pack, if he still could respond to his most basic needs and if he could still keep up with a quick change of pace. Yeah, she was testing him a bit, but couldn't think twice of it right now. All she could think was that this was how things always should have been. The wind brushed through her fur and she felt her heart pounding in her chest. The smells of the woods assaulted her senses and she could pick up Vincents so distinct scent among them. It felt like home.

				Though his outward stance once again shown feigned&nbsp; indifference when his sister finally jumped to her feet and begun inviting him to play, it was pretty obvious he was simply waiting for his opportunity to strike.&nbsp; April, the elusive dancer looking for an opening versus Vincent, the stalwart rattler poised to react through subtly tensed muscles.&nbsp; Of course this was nothing more than play, but that isn't to say there isn't fun to be had in mock duels.&nbsp; He truly enjoyed seeing his sister in such a playful state; so vivacious and cheerful simply to have her brother back.&nbsp; It was a sentiment he returned wholeheartedly.<br><br>Just after she finished her first circuit of bouncing around him, he waited for the moment she lowered her forequarters again in that brief window where her ability to react would be the slowest.&nbsp; It had always been her weakness that Vincent had quickly learned to exploit.&nbsp; He took opportunity by pouncing forward with paws extended to pin her body beneath his chest.&nbsp; Whether she had practiced countering that maneuver or the weakness had been borne of awkward adolescent limbs, Vincent's formerly foolproof technique failed as April bobbed to the side leaving him to capture nothing but an abundance of open space.<br><br>He knew the opening he had just given to his younger sister and was confident that she was going to exploit it.&nbsp; No sooner had he felt the warmth of her breath bathe his furred neck than he recovered from his miss, enabling him to spring straight upwards in a vertical jump just in time to avoid April's maw from clamping down on his neck.&nbsp; Though much of the effect was lost in his canine form, Vincent did his best to shoot her a smug grin as he reached the apex of his leap and began returning the short distance to earth.&nbsp; He recognized the meaning behind the attempted playful bite and knew that the competition had begun.<br><br>April turned and darted into the wilderness the moment before his four paws landed squarely and he wasted no time in his pursuit.&nbsp; It was time to see if she possessed the skill to keep the mantle of alpha or if he was worthy enough to take it away from her.&nbsp; As they ran, Vincent's superior size gave him the extra stride length needed to catch up to his sister whose body was better designed for handling turns and cornering rather than open sprinting.&nbsp; Though the trees hindered his speed slightly, she was not yet utilizing the obstacles to their fullest advantage as she opted for a mostly straight path towards the cabin.&nbsp; Vincent's heart raced not only through physical exertion, but genuine excitement to once again have an opportunity to play with his sister as well as play in his wolf form.&nbsp; For far too long he went without a challenger to test his abilities and improve them, but he wasn't ready to give her the impression that he had grown rusty over the years.&nbsp; Though his was out of practice on the fancy maneuvers, Vincent was at his physical peak and felt confident that his natural athleticism and fitness would make up for that slack.<br><br>Just as soon as she was within reach, Vincent lunged his head forward with maw opened and quickly bit down on her lower back where her tail met her body.&nbsp; Mouthing would best describe what he did as he captured a portion of her between his jaws before instantly releasing.&nbsp; At such high speeds it would be dangerous to maintain a hold or do something to forcefully steal her balance that would send her, and perhaps even him, in a risky tumble.&nbsp; Instead he opted for something more along the lines of tagging in a way of boasting that she had been caught and awarded a point in their game.&nbsp; During that moment he was able to feel just how soft her fur was on his pallet, which when combined from the scent of her hindquarters, once again made his mind consider certain taboo desires.&nbsp; Once the 'tag' was complete, he planted his paws into the earth and slid to an abrupt stop; partially because he didn't want to trip during the moment his mind was distracted with other thoughts, but mostly because it was now her turn to try and best him.&nbsp; With tail wagging happily behind him, he squared himself and poised his body for his choice in games.&nbsp; Which in this case it could easily be seen that he was ready to wrestle.

				April dashed through the brush, enjoying the feel of the hunt, even if she were, for all intense purposes, currently the hunted. He was right behind her and she was sure of it, but all the same she didn't mind. To some degree, it wasn't about who would be alpha or who would win, but just how much they would bond. Her tongue hung out of her mouth though as she tried to pick up her speed, not wanting to lose even if it shouldn't matter. It was to no avail though. His stride and her lack of judgement on where to run around made her an all too easy catch. His muzzle caught her hindquarters just a bit, eliciting a yip out of her.<br><br>He had released, but she still felt the slight sting of the bite. Perhaps it was more her pride than anything. What if she was the rusty one after all, underestimating her brothers now utterly adult strength and skill. April shook those thoughts aside and forced herself to get her head in the game. She turned quickly, ready to fight and punish him for the nip he gave her. He wagged his tail and readied himself for their wrestling. April's gaze peered into him a bit, a hint of her aggressive nature shining through in a way that it never would have before. Being alpha and more recently stepping up into an assertive personality made it all too easy to get defensive over things after all. But her glare was gone in a moment as she took him in again, happily waiting for the games to continue. It was just a game after all. <br><br>April let out a bit of a snarl, growling lightly, but not really threateningly. No, she didn't want him to think she was mad, but she did need him to know that she was playing seriously. As much as she wanted to play like they had when they were pups, they were not pups. She was a woman and he was a fully grown man. He could bring the challenge as much as she could and with their pack new in its existence, in a way, they needed to establish their ranking order. While partly human, they had animal instincts that told them what to do. When the previous pack leader died or failed in his duties, someone had to take over. April knew she would hate it if Vincent became alpha so soon, but deep down, knew the possibility of it.<br><br>As she poised herself for his attack, her human mindset flitted back to the moment she saw him. He looked so much like dad, so powerful and handsome. Even his scent was intoxicating. He would make a fine alpha when the time was right, she thought. Forcing her thoughts back to what was at hand, she reminded herself that she was currently alpha and had to test him, make him grow and learn. It wasn't just her being alpha, but her caring about him. He would be a strong alpha for the two of them, but he would still need to learn and grow. After all, they both should. The only way they could do so was through each other. They were the whole pack and the only person who really understood and could provide what they each needed.<br><br>April yipped a bit, letting her defensive disposition fade a bit as she started to try and circle him, wanting to be ready for any attack he might pose and constantly calculating what her best opening would be. The excitement grew within her once again and she remembered how much fun it was to play with him, regardless of the competition behind it. Her heart thudded in her chest, both from the run and from the anticipation. Unless he struck first, April would soon lash out at him, jumping at him from the side in an attempt to land on him some and tackle him to the ground. It wouldn't hurt much, but she hoped to take him off guard so she could playfully bite on the nape of his neck. Only when they were each wet with the others slobber did she think they could truly say they were done.

				As excited as he was to play with his sister in their little competition, Vincent had entirely overlooked the moment of harshness that flashed over her. All the same, he could easily make out the serious undertones of her playful demeanor and knew she was only going to hold back enough to avoid inflicting any serious injury. It was something he couldn’t be entirely sure he was capable of doing in return just yet. The memories of is adolescence where he had taken their wrestling too far that led to him hurting April still weighed heavily on his conscious and it was something he was determined to avoid. If it meant that it would put him at a handicap with this, then he would accept it and see the logic in being denied alpha rank on account of his hesitation.<br><br>For a few moments the two lycans circled one another looking for an opening or waiting for the other to make their move first. Vincent’s heart raced with excitement for their encounter as adrenaline coursed through his veins in the anticipation of their mock battle. Though she was smaller in frame, he could easily see the power of her lean muscles with each stride. April had come a long way from the lanky awkward pup he had last remembered, but then again the same could easily be said about him. Both the human and wolf minds agreed that her physique was very appealing, though he couldn’t figure out which side of him felt the hint of attraction towards her.<br><br>In his instant of thought, Vincent had not noticed the lead his sister had obtained in their circling and left his flank exposed to her. It was something he realized a heartbeat before she charged the weakness and cursed himself for letting his guard down. There was no way he would be satisfied if he was bested as a result of such a rookie mistake. The only thing that came to mind to counter her assault was to take away her ability to get atop him. To do this he hopped up so he stood only on his hind legs before his sister collided with them causing him to fall atop her back. It had to be one of the most ungracefully improvised maneuvers ever, but it had successfully robbed her of an easy point. Though now they were awkwardly positioned with her head between his hind legs and his chin resting upon her lower back since the placement robbed him of any solid footing with the ground. The thought of taking what measly opportunity he had at mouthing the portion of her pelt that he could reach had crossed his mind, but he felt a lot more self conscious and extremely vulnerable about what she had the option of biting at his soft underbelly.<br><br>Eager to get out of that position, Vincent writhed clumsily for footing before his sister shifted in a way that more flung him off than gave him an opportunity to leap off. As a result, he landed in a sprawl that would take him a crucial second to regain his footing and turn to face April directly, who would surely be ready to react since she held all the balance through their placement. Looking over his shoulder, he worked quickly to get his feet back beneath him before she could take her attack of opportunity.

				When she lunged, she hadn't expected her brother to jump in such a way. However ungraceful looking it was, she couldn't get him how she wanted because of it. He landed on top of her and her form squirmed a bit in an attempt to free herself. In doing so, she quickly realized just how awkward their positioning was. Her strong sense of smell caught the oh so strong male scent emanating from his sex. It stunned her for just a moment, stoking the animal within her and nudging at her need to mate with her own kind. In that instant though, he writhed away more than she and freed them from the position.<br><br>It took her another second to clear her head. It was a bit disturbing, to have her muzzle so close to her own brothers cock, and more so that she hadn't been able to help the sense of attraction she'd felt at catching his scent. It was natural, she told herself, to want it while she was in her wolf form. Their bodies were different and their minds were also similarly altered. Animal instincts were strong, often stronger than human ones. Animals acted out of desire, out of need and put little thought into the consequences at times. When they did think of consequences, it was surely never regarding societal expectations or taboos. <br><br>April looked to her brother just in time to see him scrambling to gain his footing. Focusing quickly on their game at hand, April knew she had to seize the opportunity. She lunged at him again, this time jumping up some in an attempt to push him back over with her front paws. It wasn't very aggressive, but she didn't want it to be. She wanted him to fall back over, be taken off balance once more so that she could, for the time, prove that she had gotten the last punch so to speak. April yipped a bit and stood there now, wagging her tail a bit, not poised for attack. She was ready to go. <br><br>Of course she didn't want him thinking her a chicken or tired or weak, but the truth of it was, she needed to go. His scent was still in her nose and she was fighting strongly with herself to maintain control of her animal brain. Every part of that brain wanted to submit to him as a female wolf would in the wild, rolling over on to her back, chest heaving and legs spread so that he could take in her scent as well. But this was her brother. It wasn't like he was just some other wolf that she could bait and mate with. It seemed that she had been in her animal mindset for too long already. Each passing second made the line blurrier and blurrier between her two selves. April would wait until he was up and them she'd start trotting back to the house, not running less she encourage another bought of wrestling.

				Vincent fell over with a yelp of surprise with how quickly his sister had recovered and taken the opportunity to claim victory over their little game. There was a slight pang of bitterness that flashed through him upon being defeated in a game that had been his self-proclaimed expertise when he was a whelp. It was just further reminder of how out of practice he had become over the years and how much his sister has grown while reaffirming his hidden fear of having remained stagnant in life ever since he left. Sure he had managed to scrape his way to a measure of success as far as career and livelihood was concerned, but as a person he felt incomplete despite how much he had matured over the years.<br><br>The sharp yip drew his attention back to his sister and the tension in his body visibly softened as he felt his frustration melt away. So what if he lacked the skill to best his sister and claim rank of alpha? While that may have been one of the items that needed to be addressed on this night’s agenda, the overall objective had been to strengthen a bond that had gone neglected for far too long. In that avenue they had been entirely successful. Vincent’s maw opened into a doggie grin as his plumed tail wagged in long slow arcs that were cut short as it batted against the ground. He had his sister, that was the only prize had had truly wanted.<br><br>With no particular rush, the male wolf casually pulled himself back to his feet. April had begun trotting back towards the house, so he padded as a slightly quickened pace to catch up until he drew level with her side. Once he did so, Vincent took a few more quick strides to cut her off with the side of his body so that she would be forced to halt her stride for a moment. It was at that moment that he swung his head around to press his cheek affectionately against the side of her neck. Given their forms, hugs weren’t exactly feasible so he opted for nuzzling lovingly. It had been some time since he had felt so happy and he simply couldn’t wait until they got back to shift forms before expressing his feelings. As he did so he couldn’t avoid burying his nose into her soft fur and breathing in her scent once more. He inhaled deeply, drawing comfort from the aroma and warmth of her presence even as his more base desires stirred lightly under the surface of his mind. Though his intensions were entirely innocent, he could not deny the need he felt to be as intimate with his sister as she would allow.

				April could tell that he was happy. Even as an animal, happiness was written just as clearly across his face as though he were human. Even as he swished his tail, she could see the happiness within him. It partly eased the sexual tension that she was feeling since it reminded her of the closeness to her brother that she too was feeling, on the healthy level that is, and how right that was. <br><br>She trotted along, fully aware that her brother closed the distance between them quickly and then strode along side her. For that moment, she felt relaxed, in control and like her animal urges were finally subsiding. He was beside her as her brother, not as another wolf running with her in a pack. In that moment, she felt like her human mind was starting to regain a bit of control. She knew she'd be shifting soon and so it was a bit of a must to disband her animal instincts and urges from her mind.<br><br>Then he cut out in front of her, causing her to stop abruptly and look around frantically for a moment. Her animal instincts were on high alert and she was looking for danger, since she could not think of any other reason they should stop so suddenly, but then he brushed against her. She felt him nuzzling his muzzle against her neck, his soft ears brushing against her own as he ran his head down the length of her neck and her side. It was intense. His actions were so loving and the only way they could communicate, so everything about it was powerful. With every touch, she took more and more of his scent in. April couldn't help but rub her face against his neck as well.<br><br>For a moment, she let herself fall more and more into those animal behaviors that guided how she was to interact with him. April brushed her face along his neck and let him rub against her as he wanted. Her tongue lolled out of her mouth as she enjoyed the rush of happy emotions surging through her and the ones she could almost see emanating off of her brother. His scent was all over her soon though and she could almost taste him on her tongue. There was a deep manliness about him, a true power and strength that only came from another one of her kind, a male. It spoke to her like nothing else. Paired with his nuzzling and her own, she started to feel that familiar stirring within her loins.<br><br>April panted lightly, fighting with herself as he moved against her and she couldn't help but continue to rub her muzzle over him, occasionally licking at his furry ear or neck. Her heart raced though as every nerve in her body craved to have more, wanted to be closer, wanted to feel him on top of her. The animal within her wanted it more than anything. She was in the wild with another wolf, nuzzling and experiencing everything that would indicate a perfect pairing in the natural world of wolves. But no, she wasn't fully a wolf. She was a woman with human needs and such. More so, this was her brother. April moved her head away from him finally, trying to shake his scent from her olfactory stores.<br><br>As she pulled away from, April waited for him to stop as well. He had to feel it, she thought briefly. April had to try and coax her human mind to the forefront of her psyche now, try and gain control of the situation, try and get out of this possibly problematic situations. She knew that if she stayed with him much longer, she'd be on her side in no time, exposing her full underbelly for his viewing. As a wolf, this was far less embarrassing, but she didn't want to do such a thing to her brother none the less. <br><br>If he didn't stop nuzzling against her, April would have to let out another sharp yip, more of warning than anything, to indicate she was ready to go. She couldn't react any other way. There were so many emotions swirling inside of her that she could only lash out with a but of that frustration that was brewing within. Still, her tail was wagging happily, so she knew that he wouldn't see her as being mad. April just wanted to go and needed him to know it, oh how she needed him to know it. Either way, she'd start to trot of towards the house once more, running with more speed this time. No more breaks, she told herself as she ran and tried to get the scents of nature to replace the musky and powerful scent of her brother.

				Vincent was overjoyed when April reciprocated his affectionate nuzzling with her own. He allowed himself to savor the warmth of her company and the alluring aroma of her soft fur as he pressed himself against her. She had a scent that was effeminate while still having the musky undertones that implied competence and prowess. As the moments went by, he allowed the line between human and wolf to blur, feeling no particular need to separate his mentalities when it felt so wonderful to simply go along with it. His pulse fluttered when he felt her tongue caress his furred ear, sending a flash of desire to surge through his body. At that moment he knew that he wanted her as a mate and for the life of him couldn’t come up with a rational reason why they shouldn’t. Although muted, Vincent could tell that April felt a similar urge even though she opted to repress it rather than act on her desires.<br><br>It was that uncertainty on her part that caused him to hesitate from doing what his instincts begged of him. Those few seconds allowed his human side to come to the surface long enough to instill reason behind his thoughts. Though to his surprise it had nothing to do with the reminder that she was his sister. Whether a result of his hybrid mindset or a general acceptance of his emotions, he had no longer felt the aversion to the notion of incest that society had pressed upon him. How could something that felt so natural, so right be conceived as anything but great? After all, who could be more accepting of the lycan blood that ran through his veins that somebody that shared that same blood? With April he could be himself without reservation or secrets rather than trying to find a human that could not only accept what he was, but entertain the idea of becoming like he was. It didn’t make sense to take such a risk of exposure on somebody who couldn’t possibly understand while his sister shared the bond that strengthened their union.<br><br>The only thing that prevented him from acting on his desires was feeling April’s own uncertainty. Vincent knew that any attempt to press that outlook on her had the very real chance of severing the ties they had just begun to repair. This would be something that required a delicate touch; to plant a subtle seed of an idea and allow it to take root where she can come to acceptance on her own terms. It was for that reason he allowed her to part from their nuzzling embrace without complaint. No matter how much he wanted her in every sense of the word, he would need to be wary of the line to be sure he didn’t cross it before she was ready. So he followed behind her as she raced towards the house. Every now and then he could catch the faintest scent of her sex and would have to force back the desires that pressed on the forefront of his mind, unable to simply ignore it now that his primal nature hungered for it.<br><br>It wasn’t long before they had returned to the backyard of their cabin where they parted ways. He watched her with a longing glance that went unnoticed as she wandered around to her side of the house where she could change in peace. Once she did so, Vincent gritted his teeth to prepare himself for the discomfort that came with shifting until he was back in his human form on all fours and stark naked in the dim light that reached to the far side of the yard. Even back in his human form he felt that yearning to be intimate with April, though there was a little more uncertainty about it than he had experienced in his wolf form. He knew that he still wanted her, but once again felt a measure of guilt at a little less confident about it. Dressing was a relatively slow process as his mind warred with itself over his conflicting emotions, but managed to accept the stalemate for what it was by the time he got dressed so as not to show his troubles in his demeanor when his sister would come back around the house.

				April dashed off, thankful as the air filled her sense of smell and washed away most of the scent of her brother. He still ran close though and she could still smell him, almost taste him, on the air. Her mind was torn, both wanting to give in to her animal instincts and flee from them. Never before had she had to fight so hard to keep that line clear and never before had she worried about letting that line go unnoticed. Her brother was back and she was overjoyed, but what had he brought with him? There was something stirring between them and April didn't know what to do about it. They were siblings, trying to reconnect, and she was feeling things that she never felt towards her brother before.<br><br>Once back at the cabin, April trotted back to where her clothes were on the side of the house. Eager to shift back, April braced herself for the change and let it begin. Her body morphed back to its' human form in a rush of light and crunching of bones. Her back arched and her limbs stretched out. April kept her teeth gritted for most of it, hating the ache that came from leaving her animal body for that of a biped. It was what her father had told her the price of living in two worlds was, that they needed to feel pain to remind them of the wonderful rarity of their gift. It still hurt like a son of a bitch though, but April never articulated as such to her parents.<br><br>Once in her human form, April stayed for a moment, panting lightly and shaking her head. The animal urges still swam in her psyche, her desires and urges pressing and begging her human will to give in. While not in her animal form anymore, her senses were still keen and she could smell her brother still. His scent was on her as well as he had nuzzled and marked her a bit during their nuzzling. She was even aware that she had done the same to him, licking him and rubbing her scent against him. It both embarassed and excited her at the same time. It was affectionate as a wolf and appropriate, but her human brain felt some remorse about it, like it was wrong. Was it though? Was it so silly to try and show her brother the affection she had always wished she could show him? April had spent so many years away from her brother, he felt like a stranger to her, a stranger that knew every aspect of her double life, and that all made her want to bond with him more and be wary of their closeness at the same time. Her brother she would never fall for, but a stranger she knew would be all too easy to let seduce her.<br><br>April finally dressed and headed back around the corner, still trying to control her breathing and her thoughts. They had both taken their time changing by this point and if he felt any of what she was, she hoped that it had disipated as well. She didn't know what she would do if they had to address their animal instincts in their human form, even if she was battling with herself about it none the less. When she saw her brother, there was a dull ache deep in her body, a wanting that she wished she didn't feel towards her brother, but it was there none the less. Vincent looked even more rugged after the shift, even more like a man she would love to have take her in every way. She visibly shook her head a bit and tried to regain control of her thoughts. They would be lying if they didn't admit the power of their animal instincts, but she was going to try and downplay them as much as possible.<br><br>"That was intense huh?" April said as she stode over to him, her hips swaying gently and her hear brushing against her shoulders as if they had never left. "It was so different running with you than with our parents, than running alone," she added softly. There was still that bitter sweet reminder that his presence only came from their parents death, but April pushed that aside, focusing on the sensations she felt surrounding their run. "It was nice to see that you haven't lost you touch, I mean, you haven't gotten too rusty you know?" April smirked a bit at him, moving to head into the house. Through humor and casual conversation, she hoped to skirt the issue that she had felt a burning need to submit to him in the most animalistic way that she could there in the forest and the wondering if he had felt it too.

				A wolfish grin tugged at the corner of Vincent’s lips as he watched his sister approach, his eyes drawn to the alluring sway of her hips with each step she took. That was not the sort of stride one did for family and it suggested that April felt a similar confliction the he had regardless of whether she was aware of it. He managed to reign in his desires one more as his gaze met hers before she was close enough to see where it had fallen moments before. There was a pang of regret and sorrow at the mention of their parents. The bitter reminder crossed his mind that he would not be able to make the comparison April had, but he managed to suppress his heartache for the sake of remaining strong to his sister. “I can’t remember the last time a run had been so much fun.”<br><br>A bark of laughter was a kneejerk reply to her compliment regarding his alleged prowess. “It’s nice of you to humor me, but we both know how sloppy I was. That maneuver to dodge your attack was anything but dignified and it still cost me the match.” His reply was lighthearted and devoid of ire. One of the things he had been glad to learn as he matured was how to be a gracious loser and accept outcomes as the learning experiences they were rather than dwell on his own shortcomings. The next time around he would only put up even more of a challenge to April.<br><br>Vincent paused for a moment as his sister turned to walk back to the house. His own male instinct coaxed him to give her a slight lead granting him the opportunity to once again enjoy the gentle sway of her steps from another angle. When he did walk it was with a sort of distantly pensive expression of a man who had been hypnotized as he fixated upon April’s firm ass. His grin grew wider revealing a sliver of his pearly teeth as his desire grew. All he would need to do was take a few quick strides to catch up and he would be able to bend her over and mate her right there on the lawn. Sure, there would be the minor obstacles of sliding down the pants, but he could sense her willingness lurked somewhere close to the surface. He could be just moments away from claiming her and–<br><br><em>No.</em> He thought as he visibly tore his gaze to the side and away from the sight that tempted him so. With an effort of will he forced back his primal mentality, accusing that as being responsible for such thoughts even if he couldn’t be sure that was entirely to blame. It’d be a lie if he were to say the notion didn’t hold a very real appeal to it. Regardless, it was too much of a gamble to risk what that had only recently reclaimed for something he could not guarantee she was willing to do with him. Not that he could blame her; he even felt a sense of uncertainty about it in terms of the long-term repercussions it would have on their relationship. “Sis…” He said absentmindedly, wanting to get all that out in the open only to consider the potential fallout from such a conversation. In a flash, his expression became lighthearted and delighted again as a façade to hide his doubt as he took a few quick strides to walk by her side. “What do you say to a mug of hot cocoa before we turn in for the night? Perhaps make it Irish if we have the means to do so.” Surely alcohol would help take the edge off, though whether it would his desire to be intimate with April or his hesitation to mention said desires would have to be seen.

				April glanced back at her brother with a serious expression, her soft gaze soaking into his, searching for what he wanted to say. Her heart was racing a bit as she wondered what he might tell her, if he was going to bring up something about their play, if he was going to call her out on the things that she was feeling. After all, for all she knew, he wasn't feeling them. Of course, she told herself that he had to be a bit. He was as animal as she was and as prone to his instincts as she was. Then his mood changed and so too did her thought process. The whole thing was over now and she could try and bring them back to a sense of normalcy, a state of reconnection that they both desperately needed.<br><br>"That sounds nice," she said with a smile, moving again to go into the house. "I have some Baileys I think and Kahlua, so whichever you like. There's probably rum up in the cupboard as well." April commented as she reached and stretched out her torso to reach into her cupboards to take down the bottles that she was mentioning. Her gaze was searching the glasses and various bottles of wine that her parents liked to find the things that would go well with cocoa. April turned to him and indicated the array on the counter. "How 'bout I make you bartender tonight hm? I want to shower and get into pajamas before I start really relaxing," she added with a smile. Really, she needed to get the scent of the wild and of her brother off of her body, or it was just going to keep teasing her and tempting her into animalistic thoughts. "If I take too long, there's always mom and dads bathroom if you want to shower as well."<br><br>April waited a moment to see if her brother was alright with that before heading off towards the hallway that their bedrooms were located. The main bathroom was in between hers and his, however closer it was to his. She rummaged through her drawers for a moment, trying to find what she wanted to wear. April wasn't thinking about how it would look to her brother or how he might perceive the outfit, but rather just wanted something warm and comfy. Everything she had brought would be clothes that she would normally wear by herself, so to her, they were not meant to impress or suggest anything. <br><br>With everything in hand, she walked down the hall to the bathroom and pulled the door to. She didn't close it all the way, knowing the hot shower she would take and the amount of steam that would build up. At least with a crack in the door, some of the steam would leave the room and things wouldn't get so foggy or damp. April tossed her clothes on the small table in there and then stripped off her clothes. Even though she had ran as a wolf, she could smell everything on her actual clothes. Her brothers scent was all over them and it made her ache to have him. He was a stranger to her, a masculine and sexy stranger, not the little boy that she had grown up knowing as her brother. All she kept feeling was the wolfen licks and nips as she took her clothes off and let them fall on the floor. Her nipples were erect and she could feel her clit starting to swell. For another brief moment, she had to entertain the idea of what if she had let him mount her out there in the wild. He was another wolf and would know just how to please her. He would mark her the way that she deeply wanted a man to do, take her like she needed. Surely he wouldn't do any of that dainty timid bullshit that her ex had.<br><br>April shook her head again though. No, this wasn't just another man, another mate. This was her brother and it was wrong. As an animal, she told herself that it was alright to feel that way. There were strong urges that went along with being what they were. Now she was human though and needed to take control. It wouldn't be right to have him do anything with her, even if she was having a hard time seeing him as relation. April stepped into the shower and blasted the hot water against her, letting it ease her muscles from the run and wash away the scents associated with the feelings she wanted to forget. As she stood in the water, sighing happily from the heat and relaxing for the night, her thoughts slowly went to the more innocent aspect of the run. Her brother was back, he was happy and he was far better company than ever before. He was someone she could go to again, or finally rather. It made her smile, remembering running through the woods with him, playing and being herself. <br><br>Soon the room had filled with steam and the fragrant scent of soap and shampoo filled the room. April finally wrapped up her shower and towel dried before stepping out of the tub and reaching for her clothes. She couldn't really pick up any hint of her brother on her anymore, but could still smell her own scent despite the soap and shampoo. It mixed in together though, creating an even more unique signature. It made her smile some, being clean and warm and relaxed. April dressed quickly, wanting to get to her drink. When she stepped out, the cool air struck her and made her frown a bit since her hair was still wet and clung to her shoulders and saturated the fabric of her shirt quickly. She wore a pair of fitting black stretchy pants, curving over her ass and indicating the exact lines of her thong panties. Her tshirt was a bit looser, but only faintly hid the fact that she wasn't wearing a bra. April didn't mind. It was what she always wore. <br><br>"So is everything tasty and ready?" She asked as she went back into the kitchen, looking around knowing that he might have gone into the shower as well, but wagering that his was far quicker than hers and that he'd be in the kitchen waiting with drinks.

				Vincent experience what felt like a crack in his heart as a result of him flinching away from the conversation he truly wanted to have with his sister, no matter how taboo of a topic it may be.&nbsp; If nothing else than to get it out in the open in order to have some measure of relief to all this sexual tension he was feeling.&nbsp; Still, he managed to maintain his smile as she accepted his idea for warm beverages and a nightcap.&nbsp; The lean muscles only partially hidden by her clothing didn't go unnoticed with the way she reached into the cabinet to retrieve the bottles of liquor.&nbsp; "Even on vacation I get stuck working behind the bar."&nbsp; He retorted in an entirely playful tone that made his acceptance of the role clear.<br><br>Deciding that his shower before the run should be enough to hold him over for the night, he went about warming up the milk for the hot cocoa since it was sacrilege to make it with water.&nbsp; Sometime during that lull in activity while waiting for the beverages to warm up, Vincent became conscious of the sound of running water.&nbsp; There was fluttering sensation in both his heart and his loins as an idea came to mind and after a few moments of internal debating realized he lacked the resolve to resist the temptation it presented.&nbsp; "Okay, we'll see if the door is unlocked, but just a peek if it is."&nbsp; He promised himself as he crept his way the bathroom only to notice that the door was left cracked.&nbsp; For a dubious moment he just stared at it biting his bottom lip, wondering if it had been an unspoken invitation to join her or simply an oversight on her part.&nbsp; With a shake of his head he remember the promise.&nbsp; "Just a peek."&nbsp; Moving to the door, he could smell the damp air that was heavily scented with appealing aromatics.<br><br>Only daring to open the door another inch or so for a slightly better angle, he looked through the narrow slit between the door and its frame.&nbsp; As obstructed by fog as the glassed in shower was, Vincent was still able to make out the sensually alluring outline of his sister's curves.&nbsp; His tongue licked his lips lightly, moistening them as a myriad of fantasies raced through his mind until he felt his desire reaching dangerous heights.&nbsp; Turning away after a few moments, he dared not linger any longer out of fear he may lose control and do one of the many things his instincts were desperately begging of him.&nbsp; He returned to the kitchen just in time to add the cocoa mix and alcohol to the heated milk.&nbsp; It was obvious by the heat coming from the mugs that it would be too hot to drink for a few minutes at least.<br><br>In desperate need of something to preoccupy his attention to avoid another voyeuristic visit, Vincent decided he could probably at least use a quick rinsing in his parents' shower.&nbsp; He moved with haste so as not to keep his sister waiting too long should she be getting out soon, Vincent wasted little time in getting undressed and hopping in.&nbsp; At first his hand moved towards the cold water nozzle, but hesitated for a moment before switching to the hot one.&nbsp; This time he wasn't going to forcefully suppress his want for her; perhaps all it would take is a little liquid courage and casual conversation to build up to the topic he had in mind.&nbsp; In all he was only under the water long enough to quickly wet his body and hastily use some body wash before getting back out.&nbsp; It wasn't until after he toweled off that he realized his oversight.&nbsp; Though he remembered to get a towel, he hadn't gotten his pajamas from his room.&nbsp; Casting a speculative glance at his clothing, he decided it would be somewhat counterproductive to put them back on.&nbsp; Instead, he haphazardly put the towel around his waist without considering where the seam would be located as he made his way towards his room.&nbsp; As it was, the gap in the towel's fabric was just barely offset from his groin in a way that might give an onlooker a glimpse of the prize hidden beneath when observed from a certain angle.<br><br>It would figure that April had entered the kitchen around the same time he did while on the way to the bedroom.&nbsp; His cheeks flushed a light red as his steps faltered for a moment as she looked at him.&nbsp; Vincent had been as rushed with his drying as he had been with his placement of the towel and much of his toned flesh still glistened lightly from the dampness.&nbsp; With a meek chuckle he continued to make his way past his sister towards the bedroom giving his excuse as he walked by.&nbsp; "The drinks were still too hot, and I forgot to grab a change of clothes before rinsing off."&nbsp; The last thing he wanted was to linger around too long where he would be able to take closer notice of just how good April looked in her pajamas.&nbsp; It would have been impossible to hide his growing excitement with just that towel around his waist.<br><br>A few moments he had returned in a pair slightly baggy light gray pajama bottoms and nothing else.&nbsp; If she looked closely enough April might even notice that he was lacking the underlying elastic waistband that would have alluded to the underwear he was wearing.&nbsp; Or lack thereof in this instance.&nbsp; Reaching out for his mug as he walked by the counter, he felt the contents had cooled enough to drink when a flash of realization dawned on him.&nbsp; "Oops, almost forgot.&nbsp; Do you know where the marshmallows are kept?"

				April giggled a bit as her brother came walking by with his towel wrapped around him. She could tell that he was caught off guard, a little embarrassed, and it was nice to see that bit of vulnerability to her brother. "It's ok, it happens," she said with a smile, watching as he walked off. She couldn't help but let her eyes linger on his body though, noting the lines that his muscles made in his form and the tint to his skin from the hot water. He was just in a towel and for the briefest of moments, April swore that she had seen the shadow of his...no, no she didn't look for that long. <br><br>She moved to her mug and touched it, feeling the warmth emanating from it and eager to try it. She didn't drink much, as it were, but she enjoyed alcohol and hot chocolate was tasty in and of itself. Together, it presented a great combination. After a moment, Vincent returned and she looked to him with a bright smile. Her wet hair had soaked through the shoulders of her shirt and she was a bit chilly, but seeing his body half naked before her was something that warmed her. He had a wonderful body and animalistic urges or not, she couldn't deny that. April opened her mouth to make some witty comment about how buff he was, but decided against it. This was her brother and she didn't want him taking it the wrong way, especially after his embarrassment of running around in just a towel moments before.<br><br>"I think they are in the pantry," she said with a thoughtful tone, moving over to the pantry to see if they had any. Marshmallows were one of those uncommon things that you never really knew if you had. April knelt down to get to the bottom shelf and pulled out a bag of mini marshmallows. "You're in luck Vince," she added with a smile as she rose and brought the bag over to him. "I leave the pouring to you," she commented with another smirk as she offered her glass to him so that he could distribute the marshmallows. "It smells great," she said when he was done, taking her cup back to the living room and plopping carefully on the couch. With a content sigh, she took a sip and moaned happily as the alcohol swam down into her belly. "You made this a bit strong, but it's nice," April chuckled.

				"Perfect!"&nbsp; He said gratefully as he took the marshmallows from her before pouring a generous amount in each mug.&nbsp; After doing so he folded over the bag and left it on the counter before following April to the couch and taking the cushion next to hers.&nbsp; Only then did he take his first sip of the brew and he felt a rejuvenating sensation as the warmth of the beverage traced its way to his core.&nbsp; "I did tell you earlier,"&nbsp; Vince replied with a sly smile, "I worked as a bartender during weekends.&nbsp; Finding that perfect balance between strength and flavor is the key in filling your tip jar."<br><br>For several moments the two sat in a silence that didn't quite lean towards the realm of being awkward as they sipped their cocoa.&nbsp; Vincent was the one to break the silence this time.&nbsp; "I have to admit, it's been a long time since I remember being this happy."&nbsp; With a casual, yet genuine smile, he turned his head aside to look at his sister.&nbsp; "I've had plenty of fun experiences and got a lot of enjoyment living on my own for the past few years, but tonight..."&nbsp; He let out a light chuckle.&nbsp; "I dunno, it's kinda hard to describe.&nbsp; It's like..."&nbsp; His face scrunched up pensively as he tried to forge his thoughts and emotions into words.&nbsp; "Well, it's like there's a bone deep contentment with life as a whole that I am just now realizing was being neglected.&nbsp; I-"&nbsp; The smile on his face widened more as he looked down at his cup thoughtfully before shaking his head.&nbsp; "Perhaps I made these a little stronger than even I expected.&nbsp; I've just started and I'm already rambling."<br><br>Once again he turned his head so his eyes could meet hers directly while his free hand found hers so he could hold it even if for a moment to express his genuine gratitude.&nbsp; Not for something she did in particular, but just for being there with him and simply being herself.&nbsp; "I'm glad you're here with me."<br>

				"Get em drunk enough and they will tip you tens instead of ones huh?" She chuckled in response, nodding a bit that she was sure he was good at making good drinks. What she was drinking was quite tasty, even if she could tell there was booze in it. It was alright. She took a few sips and let the silence stretch between them. April stared off a bit, her mind not focused on anything in particular. Occasionally she would sip her drink and enjoy the warm liquid flowing down into her stomach, the alcohol burning for a bit longer than the heat. A soft sigh escaped her lips. Everything seemed right.<br><br>When he interjected, she looked at him with her head resting against the back of the couch. As he started to talk, she just smiled a bit, but said nothing to interrupt. It was nice and it had been something that she too had been without for awhile. Being in the relationship that she had been, away from their parents and really unhappy in love had left her wanting for the little pleasures and peace in life. But what he spoke of was something more. He had been without this familial bond for years and she knew that it must have been hard for him. Living life alone sucked in and of itself, let alone when running deep through your blood was that of a wolf, a pack animal, destined to run with its' own kind.<br><br>April let him hold her hand and she gave it a light squeeze in return, letting him say all that he wanted to say. He seemed genuine, with or without the booze, and it made her smile even wider. "I'm happy you're here too. I never thought you'd come home," April added with a bit of sadness in her voice, but she shrugged lightly as if to shake it off. "After you left, it sucked, and I never stopped wondering about you, but I just accepted that you didn't want to be here. So I'm glad that you're back. Our kind was not meant to be alone Vincent," she added softly, giving his hand another squeeze.<br><br>As April smile at him, her green eyes staring back at his, she wanted to tell him about their parents, but tonight was not the right time. God, she didn't know when the right time would be. Things just seemed so new right now, so unstable, the last thing she wanted to do was to shake an already poor foundation. April just took another long sip of her drink and then found herself giggling just a bit. It had been awhile since she had drank alcohol. Surely it was already affecting her a bit. Her limbs felt tingly and she just felt relaxed and happy. It seemed like the perfect nightcap.<br><br>"Think you made these drinks right brother," she said with a smirk. "You should feel the alcohol after you drink about half your drink. Isn't it in the bar tending manual or something?" April shrugged a bit and took a smaller sip of her drink, keeping her head rested against the back of the couch. "It just makes me think back to when I turned 21. Mom and dad let me use this cabin to have some of my girlfriends over and we were just doing shots all night. God, I got so wasted it wasn't even funny. I think I fell asleep on the hardwood floor here in the living room. But I've always been a bit of a light weight, so guess it's only fitting. You drink alot?" April knew there was no way for her to know since he left long before her 21st birthday and even his own. What kind of man had he become?

				It was reassuring to hear his sister reciprocate the feelings he was experiencing.&nbsp; At least when it came to the feeling of joy that they felt in one another's company, as for the feelings of desire... well that might be another matter entirely.&nbsp; Vincent could see in her eyes that there was something she was holding back, but he could also feel her hesitation with the matter and he didn't want to press it.&nbsp; Instead he just took a few more pulls from his intoxicating chocolaty brew and enjoyed his sister's company.<br><br>He laughed when she began inquiring about his bartending expertise.&nbsp; "Depends on who you're asking I suppose.&nbsp; I've known those who wanted to feel the alcohol simply by sniffing the drink."&nbsp; Vincent listened, his eyes practically shining with amusement as April went on to describe her 21st birthday.&nbsp; Or at least what she remembered from it.&nbsp; He couldn't help but interject with "Lucky!" when she mentioned having the cabin for the celebration.&nbsp; Her brief summary of the night likely didn't do it justice to the true mischief their group got into.&nbsp; "I don't drink nearly as much as I used to.&nbsp; No longer am I able to drink anything and everything only to wake up bright eyed and bushy tailed, I'm at the unfortunate age where I'm old enough to easily get hangovers and young enough to never learn my lesson."<br><br>"My own 21st was crazy.&nbsp; Or so I am told.&nbsp; I lost track after the umpteenth birthday shot with my friends, at which point the night becomes a blur where I can only clearly recall some of the highlights.&nbsp; There was at least two bars that we got kicked out of, something about rowdy behavior and my inability to keep my shirt on."&nbsp; Vincent's gaze became distant as he tried to piece together elusive memories.&nbsp; "If I recall correctly, one of my friends actually passed out in his stack of pancakes around 3am or so in the post-barhopping diner run.&nbsp; Heh, and the night was still young.&nbsp; Though I don't remember too much of it, that was the first night I hooked up with Ashley, one of my female friends before she moved off to Cali.&nbsp; She told me the next morning that she couldn't believe how good I was even while being so drunk; something that was only proven with how gingerly she walked around the rest of the day.&nbsp; Said I was an animal when it came to doggie style."&nbsp; A devious grin spread across his lips at the memory, his thoughts still distant and the slight twinge of alcohol making him oblivious to the possibility he was giving away too much information.&nbsp; "Go figure, huh?"&nbsp;

				She listened intently to his description of his party. It sounded crazy and fun, but nothing like what she would have wanted. No, she was glad to have the cabin where she was safe and could drink without reprecutions. Still, it was funny to&nbsp; hear about his side of the experience. It also made her glad to hear that he didn't drink much anymore. to hear that her brother had become an alcoholic would have made her sad. However hearing that he thought he was old, or old enough to get hangovers, made her smirk some. Her brother was just a few years older than she was, late in his twenties but still in his twenties. <br><br>As his story progressed, she was a bit surprised at first. Even with the booze in her, the topic was a bit surprising to hear from her brother and she wasn't sure what to say at first. But as he continued, she couldn't help but laugh a little. The alcohol did help her comfort level and made it ok to talk about. He was her brother, but they were both adults. Nothing wrong with catching up, especially after so many years of not sharing anything. April just shook her head at his comment, laughing even more when he said that the girl had to walk gingerly and said he was good at doggie style. "Yeah really, who would have thought," she added with a half chuckle half sigh.<br><br>"At least when you're drunk, everything still goes right. My experiences with drunk guys has sucked and I'm always left wanting. It's terrible," she laughed a little and took another drink of her drink, polishing it off. "Hell, I don't know that any of my sober boyfriends were any good either. I used to tell my friends that I was wasting my talents, that I should just go into porn, cause I was told that I was really good, jus' I dunno. Bad luck I guess," she said with a shrug. It didn't really bother her to talk about everything either. It was hard to describe her experiences well though, but the jist of it got across she felt. <br><br>"I dunno," she continued with a bit of a pout on her face. "Maybe I just have bad taste in men and that equates to bad sex. But I mean, it's not that hard right? How do you not know what to do....I dunno, maybe I'm picky is all. like what I like is not for everyone...." she said with another sigh as she ran a hand through her still damp hair. Then a soft chuckle escaped her lips and she let it rise to a bit more of a laugh. "God now I'm the one rambling. Sorry, it's not like you even have the context of what I'm saying. You're story was better," she giggled as she turned a bit in the couch to face him. "Go on, tell me something else, I'm losing at this game," she said with a smile, knowing that her stories weren't as succinct as her brothers. It was all exciting though, sharing things with him and learning more about it. All their years apart left plenty of room for discussion.

				Vincent couldn’t help but become intrigued as April began talking about her sexual experiences, perhaps a little overly so given their relation to one another. All the same, he held a casual exterior while inwardly he was at the edge of his seat wanting to hear more. It was unfortunate to hear that she had poor luck when it came to finding competent lovers and wondered if she was truly unlucky or was hard to please. More specifically, how he would rate on her scale. As she continued, an amused grin spread across his face at the mention of her having the skills worthy of a porn star and couldn’t keep out the various fantasies that raced through his head even if he wanted to.<br><br>A wolfish grin spread across his face as he chimed in after that remark. “Well, we do have a unique advantage that they don’t. I don’t know if you feel it, but the wolf side of me can’t resist but to help with my sexual expertise. It adds a sort of… primal and animalistic quality to the act that puts it in a league all on its own.”<br><br>He continued to listen empathetically as she reflected to her rather disappointing sex life. A chuckle matched her giggle when she pulled out of her more introspective line of thought and claimed he was winning in their exchange. “I dunno. I am probably not winning as much as you may think.” Though he did nothing to draw his attention to it, the rather sultry nature their conversation had taken caused his libido to stir. Vincent was acutely aware that he was standing at half-mast beneath his baggy pajama pants and was thankful that it wasn’t quite so obvious as to be noticed without taking a moment to actually look for it. “I’ve had my own fair share of disappointing lays where the girl thinks she’s doing her part just by laying there.” He let out a bark of a laugh as he recalled one particular incident. “This one girl was so bad that I probably would have gotten more participation out of a sex doll. I got so sick of it that I actually pulled out during the middle of it and called it quits. You should have seen the look on her face!” Shaking his head slightly, his expression became distant for a moment in reflection. “That was the last time I went after a girl based on looks alone. Sex is so much better with somebody you can actually relate to and have at least some connection. At least most of the time it is.”<br><br>Though he didn’t actually say it, Vincent had mentally compared such a connection to the one he felt with his sister. Once again, explicit thoughts ran through his mind. He got a very good impression just from the way April carried herself that she hadn’t been exaggerating about her sexual prowess; everything from the powerfully effeminate sway of her gate to her compassionately passionate personality appealed to him. Coincidentally those were traits he also found typical among exceptional lovers. As a result, more blood began to migrate south causing his manhood to stand out just a little bit more within the confines of his pajamas. It wasn’t as obvious as a pitched tent, but there was a definite outline tracing along the inside of one of his thighs.<br><br>Vincent turned his head so his gaze could once again meet hers, not daring to look at his own lap lest he draws attention to the activity taking place there. A jovial smile was upon his face as he did so. “Does that story count since it was riding the coattails of yours or is it still my go?”

				The alcohol ran through her and she could feel it warming her from the inside out. Her form was relaxed and April kept her head resting against the back of the couch. There was no worrying about their parents or what they were talking about. She was just enjoying hanging out with him and having someone that she could share these things with. It had been awhile since she had confided in anyone about her sexual adventures and there were just details that seemed bursting at the seams, despite the fact that he was her brother.<br><br>She couldn't notice the bulge in his pants growing, for she was looking more at him. There was a smile on his face, that charming grin that she knew only one of their kind could really have. It held so much more meaning that a human smile in a way, such that she couldn't describe it to anyone else though. It was infectious and as he chimed in about their animalistic side, she too found herself grinning and nodding in agreement.<br><br>As he moved the topic to another encounter of his, April finished what was left of her drink and set the cup on the side table. Then she looked to her brother with her bright green eyes and really took in what he was saying, sharing in the humor of it and not thinking much about him sexually. His story made her laugh, but she could relate and understand the point of it. "Yeah, it's true. It just makes me feel shitty when I've had sex with a guy that was a jerk, like tosses a towel your way when you're done and he's leaving, ugh," April added shaking her head, remembering one particularly frustrating instance that she felt paralleled Vincents.<br><br>"Let's see though, yeah I'll count that as your turn," she giggled softly before moving in to lean on her brother a bit, resting her head on his shoulder as she stared off in thought. "Let's see, hmm, ok, well every guy that I've had sex with has not been great, as I mentioned, but one guy in particular comes to mind as being just difficult. It was right after high school and we had been dating for about a month or so and I wanted to get more serious. We came back to my place after seeing a movie and I was ready, I knew what I wanted and really was expecting the same. No, he gave me some kind of lackluster attempt at foreplay as if he was nervous the whole time. I tried to get him to relax by being nice and saying all sorts of sweet things and it seemed to help. So finally, we're going at it and I'm trying so hard to get an orgasm, so hard, and then he finishes, just pulls out and came all over me." April chuckled softly. "I was so upset. Do you know how many orgasms I need to be happy? No, well of course you don't, well several, let's just say that, so you can imagine how pent up I was." April smiled and shrugged a bit. "I sent him home and got myself off again and again and again before going to bed much&nbsp; happier," she added with a gentle laugh.<br><br>It was one of the things about her that she figured men found hard to handle or that made her hard to please. It wasn't her fault though. From a fairly early age, she realized that sex felt good and she liked it, liked exploring different facets of it and enjoyed the whole experience of it. But as she reflected on that time and just how many times she got off when he left, April now couldn't help but realize the firm muscle of her brothers arm that was resting right against her head. If she closed her eyes, she could think that he was someone else, someone that could feed her a nice hard cock and make her cum until she fell asleep. April had to push that thought aside though, he was her brother and she wasn't going to let those animalistic feelings get in the way of their new relationship. Oh but she couldn't help but think a bit more now, even as she fought it. Just what kind of lover would he be?

				Vincent's heart fluttered for a moment as he felt April's head lean on his shoulder, the feeling of her presence against him causing his alcohol enhanced libido to stir even more.&nbsp; As she mentioned yet another sexual experience of hers that had gone awry, he got a little more insight how to please his sister.&nbsp; Something that he had hoped to be able to utilize sometime in the near future.&nbsp; Preferably sometime within the next couple minutes.&nbsp; When she finally finished her story, Vincent tsked his tongue in disappointment at the man in question.&nbsp; "That's why I don't really get the show started until my tongue has gotten her to the point where she's begging to be penetrated.&nbsp; It makes it so much easier not having to worry about endurance and allow yourself to just have fun with your lover."<br><br>As he spoke, Vincent shifted his position slightly to reach his arm behind April's back to make it more comfortable for her head to rest on his shoulder.&nbsp; Not to mention it gave him a nice position to hold her by some degree.&nbsp; "When it comes to foreplay, I absolutely love going down on girls and usually need to be told when to stop otherwise I'll just keep going.&nbsp; I love the taste almost as much as I love watching her entire body react to the things I'm doing to her.&nbsp; In my opinion, there's few things as beautiful as seeing a woman writhe from that angle."&nbsp; The pace of his breathing changed subtly as he recounted that aspect of his sex life, his body hungered for sex and he wasn't sure how long he'd be able to maintain control of himself.<br><br>From that intimate closeness he could easily smell the aroma of his sister's hair; her pheromones were just as intoxicating as his hard hot cocoa.&nbsp; With each passing second he could feel his wolf nature starting to creep up on him, but it's desire to mate his sister was no different than that of his own human mind.&nbsp; There was a momentary lapse in the conversation as it seemed the two were lost in their own thoughts.&nbsp; He wondered what sort of things were going through his sister's mind.&nbsp; As he turned his head to look at her, he could see that her eyes were closed.&nbsp; For an instant he thought she might have drifted to sleep, but her breathing was not that of a person who was sleeping.<br><br>And there it was.&nbsp; The opening she had left for him, intentionally or otherwise, and Vincent's heart raced with anticipation and uncertainty as he considered.&nbsp; He couldn't remember the last time he was so nervous about being intimate with a girl, about making that defining first move.&nbsp; As with those other girls, Vincent sucked in a calming breath, steeled his resolve, and took a leap of faith.&nbsp; Using the arm that was behind her back as a pivot and a guide, he rotated just enough to bring his head around hers.&nbsp; Without thinking, he closed his eyes and pressed his warm lips against hers intimately.&nbsp; He didn't stop to consider what he was doing, such a thing would likely ruin their moment, so Vincent simply allowed himself to melt into the kiss.&nbsp; His tongue sneaking out through slightly parted lips to caress hers in questing invitation to dance with hers.

				April was lost in thought. There was a mix of thoughts occurring, both the feelings of want for her brother that she was having and the calming thoughts reminding her that he was her brother. But she couldn't help but notice how he had wrapped his arm around her, bringing her in that much closer to&nbsp; him, how musky he smelt, rich and powerful and just how good he sounded in bed. There was no denying that he had created mental images in her mind about his pleasing a woman, and it had been so long for her. God she ached to have a real man fuck her. <br><br>Just as she was about to get up and go to bed, unable to trust herself any longer, she felt him move. Her eyes opened just in time to see him coming in for a kiss. It was too late to move and too quick for her to think. His lips were on hers and she could only let out a soft whimper in response. His tongue reached out and in the heat of their kiss, her lips parted to greet it, running over it and swirling around it as if he had been her lover this whole time. <br><br>April let out another soft whimper, both aching and wary about it all. The kiss felt good, powerful and she could feel his arm still around her. His scent flooded her nostrils now and her wolf senses were picking up every bit of arousal now. Oh how had she been so blind? Of course the scent had been there the whole time, she knew that she had started to feel it, but it was all still somehow a shock to her that her brother was now against her, kissing her. Increasing animal urges and alcohol mixed together made it hard for her to gain control of her consciousness. Before she knew it, her hand was roaming over his back and his chest, feeling his taut muscles and his smooth flesh, all the while her tongue continued to dance with his own.<br><br>But just as quickly as it came on, she knew she had to stop it. April pressed her hand gently to&nbsp; his chest and hesitantly pulled away from the kiss. She took a deep breath, even though it was hard. All she could smell in the air was arousal and her brothers scent, both urging her animal instincts to override her senses. "Vincent," she said as she stared into her brothers eyes, knowing that her own had to somewhat resemble her wolf eyes now, with the fine line between animal and human being blurred. "We can't do this. I just....you know...you know we cant," she whispered softly, wanting him to gain control of himself as well. April feared more than anything that it would be something they would regret, something else to drive them apart. She feared it more than any type of social stigma surrounding the matter of incest at this point.

				Vincent's body shook with need as he felt her tongue reach out to meet his, allowing them to share a kiss that was worthy the name.&nbsp; He wanted to press on more feverishly, but forced restraint into his actions out of fear that doing so would scare her away.&nbsp; Plus, the kiss was just so nice.&nbsp; The thought had never crossed his mind how wonderfully her lips would feel against his.&nbsp; How could anything that feels so fantastic be wrong?&nbsp; A very faint moan rumbled in his throat as he felt April's hands press against his body, exploring the contours of his toned physique with the warmth of her touch.&nbsp; He was instantly thankful he had opted to leave his shirt off.<br><br>Then the pressure against his chest started and he felt her hesitation the moment before she eventually pulled away.&nbsp; Vincent's eyes searched hers lovingly, wanting desperately to bring action to his longing for her.&nbsp; He could see her hues were taking on wolfish qualities as surely his own would be doing.&nbsp; Though she said she they shouldn't do this, he could smell as much as sense her underlying need that was a mirror to his own more obvious desire.&nbsp; His smile was warm yet confident as he spoke.&nbsp; "Of course we can, April.&nbsp; Why wouldn't we?&nbsp; Society would look down on us no more harshly if we were to become intimate than if they were to discover we weren't entirely human.&nbsp; In fact, I suspect the latter would bring about much more turmoil."<br><br>Vincent's arm remained firmly placed at April's back.&nbsp; Not forcing her by any means, but simply guiding her in a way that made his desires known while offering no real resistance should she pull away.&nbsp; Meanwhile his other hand reached out and gently caressed a few stray locks from her face.&nbsp; "There's no need to think hard on it, simply let your mind rest for a moment and do what you know feels right."&nbsp; Vincent's pink tongue glided along his lips for a moment, wetting them as his eyes flicked down to her lips.&nbsp; Slowly he once again leaned forward intending on continuing their wonderful kiss and hoping she would take his advice and at least give it a chance.&nbsp; He wouldn't force her into the kiss if she truly didn't want it, but he wanted to take the initiative before her mind had a chance to truly weigh the pros and cons.

				April searched his eyes, seeing that they had changed a bit as well. He looked so good and he knew just how much she wanted all of this. But there was deep frustration in her gaze as she fought with herself to make the right decision. When he spoke, she hoped it was in agreement, but he proposed a fair argument. But April had to remind herself that that was not her main concern. Before she could, he was pushing forward again. With his strong arm holding against her and his solid physique tempting her, she felt her resolve weakening. <br><br>Once again, she let herself be brought into the kiss with him. Their lips melded together and April let out a deep moan of her own now. It felt so good to be touched, to be wanted by a man like this. He felt so good, she kept thinking, as once against her hands started to explore his body. Her kisses were getting more passionate as her mouth started to search his more and more, her desire building. Then, just as before, there was the flicker of a reminder again. He was her brother and she didn't want to lose him again. In that instant, she remembered all the pain she had felt before when he left, wondering what she could have done differently to keep him around. This was something he might regret and he might leave again. Without their parents, she'd be alone again.<br><br>April gently pushed at his chest once more. "Vincent, I can't. You don't understand," she whispered softly, leaving her hands on his chest. "We might regret this and....and I just couldn't stand it if you left again. I can't take that chance," she said softly, her eyes staring into his, pleading with him to understand. "Good night," she whispered, getting up off the couch and heading for her bedroom before she could think otherwise of it. Every part of her body wanted him just as bad, but this was only his first night here. It would be wrong of her to let things go farther than they had a risk him leaving before they could really bond, before she could even tell him what had really happened with their parents. But she'd be lying if she said that any step towards her bedroom was an easy one.

				Once again their lips met and their tongues mingled freely sending another wonderful surge of excitement and desire racing though his body eliciting a low pleased moan that bubbled in his throat.&nbsp; His free hand caressing the side of April's face while at the same time encouraging the kiss to continue.&nbsp; The desire he felt before continued to well up inside of him, reinforced by his bestial nature as he slowly pressed his weight into her bit by bit in what would eventually cause her to recline into the couch beneath him where they could delve further into their intimacy.<br><br>Before he could make significant progress with that attempt, however, she pushed back against them forcing their kiss to come to another abrupt end.&nbsp; Vincent very nearly let out a frustrated snarl, but managed to catch himself before doing so.&nbsp; Eyes that were not entirely his searched hers once more as she rejected him with a very vague semblance of an excuse as to why.&nbsp; Even as she moved away from him, he remained stationary from when he had been about to press her beneath him upon the sofa.&nbsp; His head dropped forward allowing his long dark locks to veil his face as she disappeared down the hallway.&nbsp; A knot formed in his chest that took some of the breath out of his lungs.&nbsp; It had been some time since he felt such acute pain that came with being rejected by somebody he truly cared about.<br><br>For several minutes he just remained in that same position, doing his best to bottle up that pain and desire while focusing on keeping his breathing nice and slow.&nbsp; His first instinct was to go outside and make a solo run into the night to vent his frustration, but thought it would be best if he didn't.&nbsp; April wouldn't be likely to recover from it should she come looking for him before going to bed only to find the house empty.&nbsp; He knew such a thing could certainly wreak havoc on him.&nbsp; With one more final deep breath, he pulled himself and the massive weight upon his shoulders from the couch and trudged his way to his room dragging his feet along the way.&nbsp; He turned off the lights behind him as he went until he walked into his bedroom, not bothering to turn on the light in the now entirely darkened cabin where he stripped off his clothes and crawled under the covers.&nbsp; Even though he knew his sister was only a few dozen feet away from where he rested, he couldn't help but shake the awareness that he was entirely alone in the bed.&nbsp; Of all the uncertainties that ran rampant in his mind, the one thing he knew for sure was that sleep would not come easy, if at all, this night.

				April rushed to her room and closed the door behind her. Pressing her back to the wood, she felt the whole surge of emotions rush to the forefront of her psyche and she let out a soft sob. It sucked, all around. Her desire was so great and god he felt so good. It made her body ache to deny herself what was being so willingly thrown at her feet. Still, it ached to also know that this was her brother she had missed for years, and this whole complex situation could risk scaring him off for good and then she would be alone, never having told him what really happened to their parents. <br><br>Taking a deep breath, she moved to her bed to try and sleep. It was cold and uninviting, and to some extent she felt like she deserved it. Should she have allowed him to do more to her, try and bring him closer, rather than reject him after all these years? Could she have explained it better, told him more, about why she couldn't do anything with him, or rather, why she worried about doing anything with him. Then there was the pressing reminder that they had kissed, and perhaps they shouldn't have even done that. April could still feel his lips against hers and taste him on her tongue. It made her burn to have him that much more, which just made her regret the whole complex situation more as well. <br><br>She heard him come down the hall, his steps heavy and slow. It made her heart ache that much more. She wanted him to feel better, to understand, but what could she say? Maybe he felt that they had made a mistake as well, that they as siblings should not be anything more. Indeed, she still felt that it was wrong to be attracted to him, that it was only her animal instincts that kept her needy for him. April lay in bed for a moment, thinking to herself about what had happened. It didn't make them bad people. It was a wonderful thing, but just not right, however that made sense, she thought. <br><br>Finally, after a long while, she pulled herself out of bed. The tension she felt after their parting weighed heavily on her chest and her mind, making it hard to think of anything else but his body, but his heart and but the brother that she loved dearly. With careful footsteps, she opened her door with the slightest of noise and padded down the hall. April paused at his door and listened. His breathing seemed casual enough, but she couldn't tell if he was asleep or not. Thinking she might wake him up, she almost went back to her room. With a visible shake of her head, she pushed the thought aside and tapped lightly on his door before pushing it open.<br><br>Without a word, she crossed the distance from the doorway to his bed and sat on the edge. Reaching out, she rubbed her hand over his back a bit before settling in to rest beside him, snuggled up just a little bit so as not to push her luck. "Please don't be mad at me," she said softly, her voice sounding a lot louder than it was as it crossed the silence between them. "I don't want you to leave again. I'm so lonely, hurting and just confused. Please don't be mad at me," she repeated as tears started to well up in her eyes. It made her feel stupid, since she didn't want to cry to him, but it just came out. The pain of their parents death was still heavy on her and paired with the fear that he would leave because she said no, or if she said yes, was just as pressing. April sniffed a bit, but didn't push any closer to him. The last thing she wanted was him to be even more offended or think she was trying to start something up again. "I just couldn't sleep knowing that I might wake and you wouldn't be here again, just like last time."

				Vincent just lay there in bed as countless emotions raced through his mind.&nbsp; Though none of the negative ones were directed towards his sister; after all, it had been his fault that he had went beyond loving his sister and was officially in love with her.&nbsp; He was worried what sort of repercussions would follow his actions.&nbsp; After all, he had just kissed his sister as passionately as she would allow and in a manner that was entirely inappropriate.&nbsp; Yet he did not regret the kiss itself.&nbsp; It was better than he could have imagined and lamented that it did not last longer.&nbsp; He had acted too hastily and he very well might have blown any chances of not only being intimate with April, but being with her as a whole.&nbsp; Vincent actually found himself looking forward to the awkwardness the morning would surely bring, since that would mean she would still be there to have such a moment.<br><br>After what felt like an eternity of tossing, turning, and thinking a tap on his door caused his head to whip around to look at it.&nbsp; He could just barely make out April's silhouette in the dark room as she walked closer to his bed and his heart labored with uncertainty as to what she wanted to say.&nbsp; Some of his apprehension was relieved when he felt her hand caress his bare back, suggesting that he was at least not viewed as a monster who had done some unforgivable trespass.&nbsp; Gods he loved how her hand felt on his flesh.<br><br>His brow lifted in concern once she finally spoke and he could hear the terrified emotions coating her words.&nbsp; Fear interlaced with regret being the most prominent.&nbsp; As she was nearing the end of voicing her fear, Vincent's hand moved to her side to try and comfort her as she had done with him only seconds ago.&nbsp; "Shhhhh."&nbsp; He said in a pacifying tone, "It's okay sis, I'm not going anywhere and I'm not mad at you.&nbsp; I just..."&nbsp; There was a pause as he considered the next words.&nbsp; He intended to say that he made a mistake, but he certainly didn't feel that.&nbsp; He loved kissing her and would do it again without hesitation if he thought she would let him.&nbsp; Even dulling it down to saying he messed up still came off as wholly untrue.&nbsp; "...got carried away.&nbsp; Come here. "<br><br>Vincent's hand was gentle as he gently urged her to lie down next to him atop the sheets.&nbsp; He could feel her hesitation.&nbsp; "It's okay, I just want to talk."&nbsp; The uncertainty lasted for a few moments longer before she finally leaned over to her side with her back towards him.&nbsp; There was still a solid foot of space between them when his hand moved to her shoulder where he rubbed gently in a reassuring manner.&nbsp; "I'm not mad at you, only myself.&nbsp; I can only imagine the pain I brought you, mom, and dad when I just up and left all those years ago.&nbsp; I'm sure what I felt in the years after was but a vague shadow of it and even then I could just barely work through it.&nbsp; I have no intention to make the same mistake twice.&nbsp; I'm here, with you, as long as you'll have me.&nbsp; Even if...."&nbsp; Vincent cut that remark short, shaking his head and deciding that bit would be best kept to himself.&nbsp; "Uh... nevermind.&nbsp; I'm sorry if I upset you, I just missed you and got carried away.&nbsp; But..."&nbsp; Once again he faltered, but this time he pressed on with what he intended to say.&nbsp; "If you don't mind...&nbsp; Would... Would you keep me company tonight like old times?&nbsp; I promise I'll behave, I just really don't think I can sleep alone with all that has happened.&nbsp; I need to know that this isn't just another dream and that when I wake up in the morning I'll be all alone in my apartment again.&nbsp; I don't think I could take that anymore."

				April eased down on the bed against him, wary at first. Her own emotions were still as strong as before, fear and regret and confusion, but he was trying to be comforting and she felt it in his touch. As she lay beside him, she once again felt his hand on her and April let out a soft sigh. It was nice to know that he wasn't mad. Then, the more he said, the more her worries were assuaged. He wasn't upset and had just gotten carried away before. That was a reasonable explanation. Surely she could understand that. With their animal instincts being so strongly linked with their human self, how could they not lose control?<br><br>Her eyes closed and she just focused on the light touch of his hand against her side. His hand felt just as strong and large as it had earlier that evening when he had touched her, however brief. April shoved those thoughts aside and focused on what was at hand. He was going to stay and wasn't mad at her for what had happened. The fact that he didn't really apologize didn't even occur to her though, perhaps because she too felt like there was nothing really wrong about what happened, however inappropriate it had been. The taste of him was still on her tongue, on her lips, and she couldn't help but lick them lightly as she lay beside him in the dark.<br><br>April smiled just a bit when he asked if she would stay with him like old times, and that he would behave himself. It sounded just like he was a teen, begging his girlfriend to sleep in the same bed as him. Still, she believed her brother and knew the power of sleeping with another, but more so, being part of a pack. It wasn't in their natures to be alone, sleep alone or really go out alone. They were pack animals, even while human. "Of course," April responded in her soft melodic voice. "I missed you too. I think..." April thought for a moment, searching for the right words to say. "I think it would be really comforting to have you in the bed with me," was her final choice after disregarding nice, intimate and special. <br><br>She adjusted so that she could pull the sheets over her body, rolling around in the bed some to wiggle them from under her form. April then settled back in to bed on her side with one arm underneath the pillow that was on her side of the bed. It was a bit weird sleeping in his room, since she hadn't in years after all. When they had been growing up, she remembered crawling in to his bed at times that she had nightmares. While they had never been particularly close, he was always a bit protective of her. Besides, there was always something about him that made her feel safe. "Good night Vince," she said after getting situated. Things felt better overall, but she would have been lying if she said that the scent of him lying next to her didn't get her animal urges stirring yet again, even as she drifted off to sleep.

				A relieved smile spread across Vincent’s lips as April told him that she was as in need of company that night as he was.&nbsp; He felt his pulse increase slightly as she began shifting under the covers beside him, well aware that he was entirely naked.&nbsp; It had the same feeling of anticipation and excitement as when he would invite any other romantic interest into bed with him.&nbsp; He moved closer to her once she had gotten comfortable under the sheets, wrapping his arm around her and pulling her close to spoon.&nbsp; &nbsp; Unlike any other romantic interest though, he made sore to contort himself so that his pelvis didn’t press against her as his body melded against hers.<br><br>As he breathed in, he got a fresh whiff of her hair and her pheromones once again caused his libido to stir and blood to be redirected to his nether regions.&nbsp; Just as he had suspected and hence why he had taken necessary precautions that might take away what little victory he had gained this night.&nbsp; Vincent could be patient and would hope that his sister would eventually begin to feel what he was.&nbsp; The warmth of her body against his was far more comforting than any blanket and he finally felt himself beginning to doze as April wished her goodnight.&nbsp; He inhaled another lungful of her scent before replying in a tone that was perhaps a little more intimate than would be appropriate between siblings.&nbsp; “Good night, April.”&nbsp; And with that he drifted to sleep feeling the sort of contented happiness that was rooted deep in the nostalgia of happy memories from his childhood.<br><br>Though he slept soundly, between the blankets and his sister, there was one point in the night where he got a little too warm.&nbsp; As a result he unconsciously kicked aside the blankets that concealed his naked form.&nbsp; When morning finally did come Vincent was on his back with his side pressed against April’s back and his arm under her pillow with his fingers interlocked with hers.&nbsp; Meanwhile his cock was swollen with a generous case of morning wood exposed to the open air of the room.&nbsp; Even as April began to stir, he remained blissfully in dreamland.&nbsp; His toned chest rose and fell in the steady rhythm of deep contented sleep.

				April also slept soundly through the night. There was a warmth that came from having his body close to hers, her brother, the only other packmate that she had. No one would be able to match that closeness and she too was well aware of just how intimate it was, now that they were adults. It had been so long since someone had slept beside her, after she had left her ex boyfriend anyways. It hurt too much to even think of letting another that close to her, so she stayed alone. Not tonight. <br><br>When she finally stirred awake, the sun was streaming in through a gap in the curtains. It shone in around them and the whole room found itself generally illuminated. April unlaced her fingers from her brothers, moving slowly so as not to wake him, before she finally moved to sit up. Her arms reached up high and her back arched as she readied herself for the morning, not thinking about anything from last night. Then, she glanced down to her brother and couldn't help but stare at his form.<br><br>His cock stood out against his fully naked body. He was her brother, but in that moment she felt so much lust. Her pussy ached at just the sight of his swollen member and the thoughts that accompanied it. April could only stare at it. He was just as long as her ex, but thicker. Her eyes wandered up to his naked torso and soaked up every muscular line. She wanted to reach out and touch him, trace her fingers along his body. The thought of it alone made her lick her lips in anticipation. April had to force herself to look away though. She couldn't touch him, especially not after last night. No, animal urges were animal and they were people, with human minds and consequences. Still, April couldn't help but steal another glance and let out a soft moan. She knew it would feel amazing to have it inside of her, and the thought both excited and frustrated her, because it was her brother. <br><br>Finally she pulled the sheet over his torso, not wanting him to wake up naked and aware that she must have seen him, before slipping out of bed. Her feet padded softly across the floor as she slipped out of the room to go make breakfast. Her hair was tousled from sleep, but even in its' messy state, it somehow looked purposeful. April stayed in her pajamas, tank top and stretchy pants, both because they were comfy and really, she would just have to change again when she showered. April set to work on making pancakes with the packaged pancake powder her parents kept on hand.<br><br>

				A few minutes after April left the room, Vincent finally began to rouse from his slumber.&nbsp; He awoke in an arching stretch and deep sigh before his eyes opened.&nbsp; The first thing he did was look to his side, expecting to see April but only found empty bed.&nbsp; A frown curled his lips downward at that realization and his hand moved to the spot.&nbsp; The frown quickly changed back to a light smile when he felt the lingering warmth.&nbsp; His sister had stayed the entire night with him and he had just barely missed waking up with her.&nbsp; It was reassuring to know the she simply hadn't waited for him to drift off before making her leave.<br><br>Taking a moment to listen he was able to hear the distant sounds from the kitchen as cabinets opened and closed as other utensils clattered together.&nbsp; Vincent's smile only grew brighter at the realization that he had another full day before him where it would be him and his sister.&nbsp; Though there was a few speed bumps from the previous day, mainly at the very end, he absolutely loved every moment he spent with her.&nbsp; With another stretch he remembered he had slept naked as he usually did and could tell he was sporting a hefty piece of morning wood.&nbsp; Glancing down, he noticed that despite his nightly shifting he still had the sheet covering all the special bits.&nbsp; He couldn't decide if that was something he was thankful for or upsetting.&nbsp; After all, if April had a chance to see what he had to offer her in a way that would not be so overt on his end, she might begin to put a little more consideration into taking their relationship to the next level.&nbsp; But there was little he could do about that and simply shrugged it off as a missed opportunity that had been out of his control.<br><br>Eventually Vincent pulled himself out of bed and donned his pajama pants once more.&nbsp; Though his erection was still there, by the time he had relieved himself and gotten moving he was only at half mast.&nbsp; Once his brief morning ritual was taken care of, apart from the shower just yet, he made his way towards the kitchen.&nbsp; His face lit up as he saw his sister, thankful that they had cleared the air the night before so it didn't have time to fester or make this moment awkward.&nbsp; "Good morning, sis.&nbsp; I hope you slept as well as I did last night."&nbsp; When she wasn't watching him, Vincent stole a few glances of her enticing physique that was accentuated by her tight fitting pajamas.&nbsp; "Anything I can help you with?"&nbsp; There was no doubt at the moment he was able to see his sister again.&nbsp; The way he mood spiked and his heart fluttered excitedly, he had inadvertently fallen in love with his sister.&nbsp; Even if she still only loved him as a brother.&nbsp; With her around, everything just seemed to be better in every way and his spirits were uplifted more than they had been in some time.

				April was busy flipping pancakes on the stove when he came out. She greeted him with a big smile, momentarily forgetting her awkward morning encounter with him. "Morning. I did sleep well, thanks. You weren't quite the bed hog that I remember you being when we were little," she chuckled softly, turning her attention back to the pancakes. <em>You aren't a blanket hog either</em> she thought to herself with a bit of a blush rising to her cheeks. God, she could still see the length of his hard cock stretched out against his toned flesh, the pulsing veins that only highlighted how thick he was.<br><br>She visibly shook her head and turned her attention back to her brother. "Nope, nope, doing fine. Um, actually," she thought, trying to come up with something to distract her quickly. "I was thinking of looking for syrup, but I haven't yet, or making coffee. You could do one of those," she added with a slight giggle. It was a bit of a nervous giggle, but she hoped he didn't realize it. She hadn't even looked at him that much since he had gotten out of bed, but his naked body was burned into her mind and she figured it was going to take awhile to unsee it. Did she even want to though?<br><br>April piled a few pancakes on to a plate and put them on the kitchen counter. Her mind was still racing just a bit. She shouldn't be thinking of him like that, but she was so needy and it was hard to fight the animal instincts that only added to that human need. But he was her brother and she loved him, wanted to be as close to him as they could be now that they were rekindling their familiar relationship. To try and think of him any other way just seemed weird, foreign and inappropriate. They should just be brother and sister, nothing more, for in that bond there was something special. <br><br>"I didn't do anything special with them," she said a bit slower, getting better control of herself. April finally ventured a glance up at him and offered a gentle smile. There was still some tension she felt, perhaps mostly on her part because of this morning, but what had happened last night was last night and this was a new morning. "But pancakes are pretty tasty in and of themselves. Wanna eat out on the patio?" She asked, indicating the porch in the backyard that they had left from just last night to go on their run. "It doesn't seem too cold and it's always nice to be outside." Her smile widened some, knowing her brother would be excited to be out in the woods again.<br><br>But a sinking feeling was creeping up again. She had to tell him what happened. She needed to tell him the truth about their parents. If she kept putting it off, he might just get mad at her for waiting to tell him. More so, it needed to get out there before anything could happen. April had no idea who had really shot her parents or why, but they would never have gone to that hunting grounds. Someone had to have taken them there or dragged them their. Either way, April had a sinking feeling that someone knew about their true selves.

				April's odd behavior did not go unnoticed.&nbsp; At first she seemed distracted and almost giddy, which was something he both enjoyed and wondered what would inspire such a reaction.&nbsp; He doubted it had anything to do with last night; after all, her reaction at the time was far different than what she was portraying at the moment.&nbsp; "Sure, I'm on it."&nbsp; He said in reply to how he could help with breakfast.&nbsp; Once the coffee maker was hissing from the superheated water, Vincent began rummaging through the cabinets and pantry looking for a maple syrup.<br><br>His search had finally bared fruit about the same time April was plating their breakfast.&nbsp; The kitchen smelled delightfully of breakfast that made his mouth begin to water.&nbsp; With his mind no longer occupied with searching, Vincent once again directed his attention towards his sister whose attitude had changed during those few minutes.&nbsp; Now she looked anxious and torn with indecision, which was what he had been expecting.&nbsp; She was likely beginning to reflect on how he forced himself on her last night and it was his turn to get nervous and fear retribution for his actions.&nbsp; "That's fine, they still smell delicious."&nbsp; He couldn't quite entirely hide his own uncertainty as he replied, afraid of where her thoughts would lead her.&nbsp; "The patio sounds like a good idea to me.&nbsp; It isn't often I get to be in air as fresh as it is out here, it'll do me some good."<br><br>As they made their way to the back, April's thoughts seemed to have taken an abrupt turn for the worse given by her subtle body language.&nbsp; One of the things he had learned while bartending was how to read a person's body language, at least enough to get an idea of their mood.&nbsp; Having known her for so long... well before an additional so long that he had not, it was still quite easy for him to at least get the gist of them as long as he was looking out for the subtle signs.&nbsp; Walking behind her to the outside, Vincent captured his lip between his teeth in concern that she was quickly taking his actions from the night before in an extremely negative fashion.<br><br>It was quiet for several moments as they sat out on the patio, just starting to eat their breakfast.&nbsp; Both seemed deep in thought, though Vincent's was a reaction to April's pensiveness and growing increasingly uncertain about what exactly was running through her mind.&nbsp; To him the silence was deafening as the seconds passed and he continued to steel himself against another rejection that might be more permanent than the last time.&nbsp; It eventually reached a point where he could not wait any longer, the silence tearing him up inside and testing the limitations of his sanity.&nbsp; "Please April, tell me what is going through your mind.&nbsp; I can see the gears turning and it is eating me up having to wait for whatever it is you are going to say to me.&nbsp; Like I said, I got carried away last night and I didn't mean to offend you or make you feel resentful to me.&nbsp; I'm sorry and I don't want it to come between us."

				The more April thought about their parents death, and having to tell him about it, the more it troubled her. She tried to remain happy and cheerful, at least until she could finally tell him, but it was impossible to hide all the signs of her internal struggle and concern. As they sat at the patio, April let her thoughts wander just a but as the air around them swirled around her senses. She inhaled deeply and took in all the smells from around them. They weren't as powerful as when she was a wolf, but still nice. <br><br>Vincent's interjection surprised her a bit, mostly because of the abrupt break in the silence. She hadn't even noticed how quiet it had gotten until he spoke. She listened to him as he spoke, confessing his regret and concern about last night. It made her frown some. She had forgotten about it for the moment, but him bringing it up just stoked the fact that last night had happened and would not just go away. "No no no, I'm not mad at you," she said softly, reaching out to touch his hand lightly. "Last night was....complicated, but I'm not mad, and it's not what I was thinking about."<br><br>April pursed her lips a bit and left her hand resting on her brothers. "I just....you should know that I don't think mom and dads death was an accident." April took a deep breath and proceeded to tell her brother how her parents had gone out for a run that night and then ended up dead at a hunting campsite, found through an anonymous tip that there had been an accidental shooting. "Mom and dad hated hunting and never would have gone their by choice. I just....the police couldn't look into anything and they certainly can't know about our true nature, but I just know somethings not right about it all. I was just dreading telling you because.....I dunno....it's just hard."<br><br>She removed her hand and hung her head low, feeling tears well up in her eyes again. She covered her face from him with a hand and took another deep breath. It didn't help much and a few tears escaped from her eyes. There was nothing that could be done and even though she had told him, she wasn't sure how it made things better.

				Vincent's expectation of the issue being with last nights' kisses left him vulnerable to the truth.&nbsp; The initial accusation that his parents were most likely murdered hit him like a hammer as his world spun and it took him a moment to find his bearings.&nbsp; It would do neither of them any good if he collapsed from shock right into his breakfast.&nbsp; He suspected that it had mainly been April's hand on his that served as an anchor of sorts to prevent that from happening.&nbsp; As she went on to account her suspicions of what had happened to them, his entire body began to tremble and his vision blurred with welling tears.&nbsp; Even as she finished, the lump in his throat made it impossible for him to speak even though his lips tried to move as if to say something but couldn't quite get it out.<br><br>It felt as though somebody had reached into his chest and torqued everything in there in a sensation that stole his breath away.&nbsp; At that moment he wanted desperately to climb into a hole and pull it in after himself.&nbsp; All those years he lost were on him, a mistake that haunted him every day.&nbsp; But the years he could have had, the ones that he thought were lost by some twist of fate, were actually stolen from him.&nbsp; Taken away by murderers who did so only because they feared what was not themselves even though they had not once been provoked in any way.&nbsp; It hurt.&nbsp; It hurt so much.<br><br>He looked up and saw April there as distraught as him.&nbsp; As torn up on the inside as he was and in desperate need of comfort just like he was.&nbsp; Without even taking a moment to consider it, Vincent shoved the short patio table aside with a powerfully controlled kick.&nbsp; From there he lowered himself to his knees on the patio before his sister and threw himself into her arms as his own embraced her tightly.&nbsp; Vincent pulled her against him, needing now more than ever to feel her presence to remind himself that he was not alone.&nbsp; That though somebody had killed their parents, they had not gotten their sibling.&nbsp; Vincent buried his face into the crook of April's neck and the need to hold back his tears and emotions seemed wholly trivial at that point.&nbsp; Vincent openly wept with his sister, making it known that they needed the other for support while the other was more than glad to offer everything they could in return.&nbsp; After a few moments Vincent finally found his voice, however hoarse it may be.&nbsp; <strong>"I love you, April."</strong>&nbsp; He couldn't think of anything else to say.&nbsp; Sure, he had a lot of questions that he needed answered, but at that moment all he wanted was to love his sister and to have her love in kind.&nbsp; Something to prove they were not alone in this world.

				April looked up as the table was pushed aside and her brother threw himself at her. It was something so different from the collected man she had been with just moments before, but she embraced him and held him to her. It didn't take long for her to recognize that he was weeping into her form, his tears streaming down his face and soaking her shirt. April let herself cry as well, but knowing she had probably grieved a lot more than he had been able to, especially because she had suspected the truth from the start.<br><br>She held him for a long while, not wanting to push him away or make him feel like she thought less of him. But soon, her own tears dried up and there was only the occasional sniffle to indicate her sadness. Her eyes were puffy and red though, cheeks splotchy from tears. Still, April held him until he pulled away from her. "I love you too," she said as she reached down to stroke his hair a bit. He was all she had now and she knew she had always loved him, even if they hadn't gotten on too well.<br><br>When he finally pulled away, April would offer him a light smile. "I know I should have told you when you got here, but there...there was just so many other things to address, you know?" She asked softly, staring at him and hoping he wasn't mad. "But I needed you to know, needed you to be aware of the danger that we too might be in. I can't bear it alone Vincent, and I sure as hell don't know what to do about it. For now, I've just been grieving and I think that's perhaps the best." April reached out again and stroked her hand along the side of his cheek, wanting to show him affection and love while comforting him.

				Vincent doubted he would have been able to get through that earth shattering news without his sister to help him through it.&nbsp; There would have been no way for him to suppress something that big, it was a matter of whether he would let it out or let it break him.&nbsp; If anybody could understand his moments of weakness, it would surely be April.&nbsp; It took him a little longer for him to recover his voice than it had for his sister, so he waited for her to finish before attempting to reply.&nbsp; The feeling of her hand sweeping through his long dark locks did just as much to comfort him as words could ever do.&nbsp; He found himself nuzzling against her out of reflex to the caress.<br><br>He was still blinking tears out of his eyes and wiping them away embarrassed when she pulled away.&nbsp; Seeing her smile allowed one of his own to tug at the corner of his lips even if by the very slightest of margins.&nbsp; April always looked good with a smile on her face and it still managed to have a charming effect on him even with something this heavy being placed on his mind.&nbsp; Vincent listened to her and leaned his head into her touch as she stroked his cheek.<br><br>"Honestly, I'm glad you didn't tell me yesterday.&nbsp; It gave us a chance to catch up and bond, which would have been more difficult with this looming over my head.&nbsp; I couldn't imagine what you went through when you realized and had to cope with the initial shock on your own."&nbsp; Vincent reached out and pressed his wrists to her sides and allowing his hands to wrap around her back in something that was somewhere between a hold and a hug.&nbsp; "But I'm here now, sis.&nbsp; You will never again need to worry about working through it on your own.&nbsp; Whatever course of action we decide to take, know that I'll be with you the entire way."

				April smiled that much more as he nuzzled into her touch. It made her feel loved and it spoke to her true nature. The act, while he was still utterly human, was something so animal and different than people normally did. She was a wolf at heart and he was her pack. April continued to run her hands over his hair and his face, touching him affectionately and letting him nuzzle back into her hands as she explored his face. It took him awhile to get ahold of his emotions, and she gave him the time he needed, not saying anything until he was ready.<br><br>After he pulled away as well and wiped away the remaining tears he had, she smiled at him still. He was being strong, but really being vulnerable as he cried in front of her still. He wrapped his arms around her and the embrace felt warm and comforting. She wanted to just stay curled up with him and have him hold her. While still her brother, the hold gave her the comfort that any boyfriend had ever been able to give her. It was subtle, but protective and warm. April made no move to get out of the hold he had her in. Even as he held her though, she felt a bit of the arousal from before smoldering inside of her as she noticed how large his hands felt and just how affectionate he was being. But with the intensity of the moment, there was no way it could last very long and so it burned off in another moment.<br><br>"Thank you Vince, it means a lot to me. With mom and dad gone, there's no one else that I can really turn to," she said with the slightest break in her voice. It was painful to admit, that she was alone, that she couldn't handle this on her own, especially because over the years she had started to pride herself on being independent. After she had left her ex, April had worked very hard to become self sufficent and a strong woman. Even after their parents death, she had worked hard to keep everything together before her brother had come home. She let out a deep sigh and wiped her own eyes once more, taking away the last bit of tears that rested on her cheeks.<br><br>"It's just so hard, letting myself grieve. I don't like feeling weak," April added simply. She took her hands from her brother and ran them up over her own hair, letting her long locks spill in between her fingers and then slide back down over her shoulders. "Ugh, but we can't sit her and cry all day. I won't let it happen. I don't have a list of activities planned or anything, but was thinking we could just spend the day in our wolf form, resting and grieving through that or we could go out into town." April offered him another one of her simple smiles, her cheeks flushing just enough to highlight the depth of her green orbs. "What sounds good to you brother," she asked softly, her tone holding just a hint of seductiveness.

				"I know, sis."&nbsp; Vincent said in a consoling tone.&nbsp; "But it's good to shed the emotional armor from time to time and you don't need to worry about appearing weak to me.&nbsp; I always want to be there to support you no matter how bad things may get, just as I'm sure you'd do the same for me."<br><br>A shallow smile spread across his lips as his sister once again managed to fluidly transition between conversation topics, disarming even the most tense moments with her words and a smile.&nbsp; As much as the notion appealed to him, Vincent agreed with her that they couldn't spend the entire day crying.&nbsp; They were on vacation after all and he felt confident that his parents wouldn't have wanted him to mourn over them when he should be focusing on strengthening his relationship with April.&nbsp; Though he managed to mask it amongst a pensive expression, Vincent couldn't help but become intrigued by what sounded like a sensual undertone to her question.&nbsp; As much as he had hoped it was real, he decided to write it off as something he imagined since that seemed more probable.<br><br>So he considered the two options for a moment since both ideas seemed equally appealing.&nbsp; It had been a long time since he wandered the streets of the nearby town.&nbsp; There were plenty of shops&nbsp; and sources of entertainment along the strip and surrounding areas.&nbsp; But it had also been just as long since he had gotten an opportunity to transform in an indoor setting.&nbsp; After all, his apartment complex had a strict no pet policy and the sighting of a wolf would send everybody into a panic.&nbsp; Even though they went running last night in their alternate forms, it wasn't the sort of thing that could be compared to lounging.&nbsp; One thing he learned at a young age was just how skilled his animal mentality was at being completely and entirely lethargic when the mood strikes him.&nbsp; <br><br>That bombshell April had dropped on him left him feeling a little more introverted than normal.&nbsp; He wasn't yet ready to wander amongst public, especially since a good number of those people lived close enough to their cabin to have a hand in his parents' murders.&nbsp; Vincent winced at that line of cynical thought, which only helped to prove his point to himself.&nbsp; He was quick to recover his smile though, which was made genuine when his eyes met with April's and found comfort within them.&nbsp; "It's been a while since I've gotten an opportunity to get away from crowds.&nbsp; Today feels perfect to laze around in a way that only our other sides are capable of."

				April's smile brightened and she nodded. "Alright, sounds good." She would have been happy with either one. Getting dressed up and going out with her brother would have been something different, but perhaps it was best that they hadn't decided to do that. He was probably fairly upset and really, it might seem too much like a date. After last night, she wasn't sure if the feeling of a date would be a good one to create. "Lounging around sounds nice," she added with another nod. <br><br>She cleared her throat, further dispelling the threat of tears from her being. Vincent was here now and they needed to move on, together. If they just continued and dealt with things as they came, she felt like it would be so much easier. Of course, it would be easy for them to both grieve all day, but when they were together, it seemed so much better to take solace in each others company and rejoice in what they did have, rather than what they didn't. April eased up out of her chair and started to pick up their breakfast plates. It would take just a little preparing for them to be able to enjoy their day and the first step was cleaning up.<br><br>It took only a little while to clean up the kitchen and April said fairly little words to her brother. There was nothing to really say. They each had a lot on their minds and shifting to their animal forms would help them shake it, especially since they wouldn't be able to talk anyways. After everything was cleaned up, April put a water dish down and some cookies on a plate. She didn't want to have to worry about shifting for awhile if she could help it. With a smirk at Vincent, April bent down and set the dishes in the kitchen. They would have water and snacks for their lazy day.<br><br>With one more look around the living room and knew that she had gotten everything. They didn't need blankets and had the couch anyways. It was a warm day and April took only another minute to open up the windows in the house so that she could bring in the fresh air from outside with all its' wonderful scents. A sigh of relief escaped her full lips as she nodded in acceptance. "Alright, let's go our separate ways and shift," she said with a smirk. The thought did cross her mind to just try and shift in front of each other, bond more fully, but really the thought of it just reminded her how he had looked earlier this morning, how thick his cock was and just how much she couldn't stop thinking of it.<br><br>April headed down the hall to her bedroom. Leaving the door mostly open, she started to take off her clothes, tossing them in a loose pile until she was entirely naked, hair running down her back. She stretched a bit, preparing herself for the shift some. Then, she let the change occur, feeling her bones rip and stretch to fit the form she was now taking on, pain searing through her back and limbs, her form falling to the ground as her body needed to be on four legs. In the span of two minutes, she was fully a wolf and padded softly out into the living room, her feet making the slightest bit of sound on the hardwood floor as she walked.

				April had pulled herself out of her chair a moment before he could rise from his kneeling position or remove his hands. The result left him facing her crotch with his hands resting upon her hips that send several wonderful fantasies to play through his mind and inhaled a quick scent of her sex before he also stood. Vincent only had time to get a brief sample since lingering would have only made things awkward and tempted him further, but that instant in time would stay with him for a good while. Her natural aroma caused his libido to stir and made him wonder if she tasted as good as she smelled.<br><br>It had been so long since he’d shifted in a residential setting that all he could do was watch as his sister began making preparations to accommodate their needs once in their wolf form. After all, it would only serve to spoil the evening if they had to shift back and forth regularly. Vincent returned her smirk as she set water and snacks on the kitchen floor as anybody would do so to feed their family pet. It was amusing to consider things from that perspective. An idea struck him as he watched the various preparations April made and he went to the kitchen to grab a hand towel before making his way back to the sliding glass door that led to the backyard. He checked to make sure the door was unlocked and then tied one end of the material around the handle in a tight knot. After a few times of testing it by opening and closing the door only by pulling on the free end of the towel, he nodded in approval. He couldn’t speak on behalf of his sister, but he had never attempted to use a toilet in his canine form and had a good idea that attempting to do so would only lead to disaster. This way they would have a place to relieve themselves as well as be able to go outside should they wish to get some fresh air.<br><br>“Sounds good to me.” Vincent said to acknowledge he too was ready to shift. He remained in place as his sister walked down the hallway towards her room, admiring the gentle sway of her hips with each stride. Only when she disappear around the corner did he begin to shift, fully clothed and right there in the living room. Once he was done with his uncomfortable shift, he sat on his haunches as his now ill-fitting clothing clung to him awkwardly. The lack of space for his tail was the most unpleasant feature, but with a little bit of wiggling he was able to work it down along one of the pant legs. From there he just waited, tongue lulling out to one side in a doggy grin eager to see his sister’s reaction when she trotted out of her room to see him. Vincent couldn’t think of a better way to start things off than on a lighthearted and comedic note.

				April padded out in her full wolf form, fur delicately layed out across her lithe form. Even as a wolf, she was shapely and somehow feminine. Her eyes were bright and yellowed just enough to indicate that she was more animal than human in this moment. Unbeknownst to anyone else, her mind also shifted. It was impossible for her to not fall into an animal mentality once her physical form was. She wasn't really worried about their parents, wasn't really worried about what the next day would hold and wasn't worried, for the time, about her brothers thick cock. <br><br>She looked around the room and took him in in the human clothes he still wore. There was no hiding the surprise on her face, even though she was in her animal form. Her eyes were wide and her head tilted just enough to show that she was confused. April stood there a moment, taking him in before shaking her head and jumping towards him. No no no, this wouldn't work at all, she seemed to say as she pounced right in front of him. Her muzzle bumped against his neck, trying to push him over a bit. Whether he moved much or not, April would waste no time in finding the hem of his pajama pants with her teeth and trying to pull it down over his legs, despite the difficulty.<br><br>Her tail was happily swishing back and forth as she struggled with the fabric. Deep in her throat, there was a playful growl that constantly reverberated through her. Her teeth readjusted some in an attempt to get a better grip on it so as to pull it off more. April was laughing inside, thinking of the sight she had beheld when she came out. Even now, as she fought to disrobe her brother, there were no worries and no concerns. All she was thinking was that her brother was being silly and she could just let loose, do what her instincts suggested, which was helping him to conform in this moment.

				Vincent let out a playful yip of surprise as his sister immediately set about removing his pajamas as the two immediately engaged in a lighthearted wrestling match.&nbsp; April's initial move, combined with the clumsiness that came with a dog wearing human pants, sent him into a sprawl on his back as he writhed to win his tug of war.&nbsp; It was a hopeless match since he had no real means of securing the pants to himself, but his the pant leg of the article twitched beneath the fabric as his plumed tail wagged as best it could.&nbsp; The human side of his mentality couldn't help but muse how much more appealing it would be if they were in their human forms.&nbsp; After all, his sister was technically removing his pants with nothing but her mouth.<br><br>If he had the ability to do so, Vincent would have been laughing the entire time even as April managed to remove his pants and flail them about savagely in victory just as every canine is known to do.&nbsp; He simply lay on his back panting, legs open to reveal his soft belly as he turned his head to the side to watch his sister with his large pink tongue still lulling out of the side of his mouth.&nbsp; After a few moments, he rolled and pull himself to his feet so that he could trot over to his sister and nuzzle her lovingly.&nbsp; From there he took a few steps towards the living room before casting a glance over his shoulder as if to urge her to follow before continuing with his bushy tail wagging happily in time with his stride.&nbsp; Once there he made his way to the couch and hopped upon it in contradiction to what most dogs are taught not to do.&nbsp; From there he spun in several circles to get the surface just right before lowering himself into a compacted ball of fur.&nbsp; His golden hues then met with his sisters then flicked to the space next to him in order to convey what he was wanting.

				April managed to tear his pants from his canine form. She shook the pants violently, growling softly in pleasure and joy of her success. For a moment, she looked to him with the pants hanging out of her mouth, her tail happily swishing back and forth as she took him in. Her brother was laying out on the ground on his back, submissive in all senses of it for the animal kingdom. When he didn't offer anymore play advances, April figured he was done and she allowed the pants to fall to the ground.<br><br>She watched, tail still swishing happily back and forth as he moved closer to her. She welcomed his nuzzling and offered him some of her own, stretching out her tongue to lick along his ear a bit before he pulled away. So far, she was enjoying herself. He was her brother and her pack mate. All she could do was just enjoy his company. So far, she wasn't feeling aroused, wasn't feeling inappropriate, but was just enjoying being part of the pack with him. More so, she could tell that she was still alpha. Thus far, she was winning and allowing all of their play. Having the ultimate say so in things was a prime indicator to the alpha in a pack. If alpha didn't want to play, there was no playing. <br><br>April watched as her brother moved over to the couch and her own tongue fell out of her mouth in pleasure. He curled up on the couch and she had to admit that it looked comfortable. April padded her way over to the couch and to her brother. They were both large wolves, him larger than she was of course, so there was not much room on the couch. Still, she was going to make room for herself. She jumped up gingerly, stepping lightly on the fabric and walking around some to get comfortable before laying down. Her head would be resting on his hindquarters, her own hind legs at the other end of the couch. Her eyes closed slowly and she let her body relax against his. His smell was intoxicating, but so far still not arousing. It was pleasant to take in his earthy scent, the scent that was so much like their fathers. A soft sigh escaped her muzzle as she lay content against him.

				April's presence at his side on the couch was very soothing and he liked feeling the weight of her head on his hindquarters.&nbsp; It resembled the cuddling they had done last night, though he couldn't help but feel as though there was a sort of inequality to it.&nbsp; Not so much regarding the alpha/beta relationship, he was well aware of where he resided in the pack.&nbsp; At least for the moment.&nbsp; This had more to do with his desire to rest with her rather than rest next to her.&nbsp; A subtle difference that brought about a different set of emotions and feelings.<br><br>Vincent wiggled his lower half a bit to give his sister some warning before he pulled himself partway up only to come back down to rest after changing the direction he was facing.&nbsp; Now his neck was side-by-side with his sister's with his muzzle resting against her shoulder.&nbsp; There he was able to bathe in the comfort of her scent while she was able to do the same with his.&nbsp; It felt wonderful to have her by his side and it was a sensation he never wanted to lose again.&nbsp; That was something both he and his wolf counterpart were wholeheartedly in agreement with.&nbsp; He was so caught up in the moment that he couldn't help but to try and find a way to express his happiness since he no longer had the words to do so.&nbsp; Instead, he lifted his head from the couch and began affectionately licking April's neck and ears with his broad canine tongue, pausing long enough to nuzzle her a bit before licking her some more.

				As he shifted about a bit, April lifted her head up and watching him move. She waited for him to readjust before she set her head back down. Her brothers fur was soft and she could still take in the scent that was uniquely his. Her eyes closed once more as she enjoyed the closeness between them. That was when she started to feel his licks. April kept her eyes closed as he licked over her neck and her ears and started to nuzzle against her. She offtered him a single lick in return before settling back against him however they could both comfortably be intertwined. <br><br>It wasn't long until April felt herself drift off to sleep. The window that was open in the living room allowed a fresh breeze to come into the room, carrying with it all the scents of outside and the woods behind the house. More so, it was just cool enough to create a comfortable sleeping environment. Paired with the warmth of her brother sleeping next to her, she almost couldn't help but fall asleep. When her eyes opened a bit later, April's head lifted up and she offered him a lick again, before settling against him, this time rather awake, but content to lay there with him. The sun was filtering in and danced off the hardwood floor. April couldn't help but watch it a bit as it spread out across the floor. Another sigh escaped her muzzle. She'd wait to see if her brother was awake before moving and getting them going at all. She didn't mind either way though, for it was a wonderfully lazy day.

				With the affectionate canine kissing concluded, Vincent shifted his body slightly and nuzzled close to his sister before preparing for a siesta. Between her soft fur, the warmth of her presence, her reassuring scent, and the soothing sounds of her breathing it was only a matter of moments before his eyelids grew heavy and he began to doze. A few moments later he was sleeping soundly and happily. He wasn’t sure how long he was out when the feeling of April’s tongue roused him from his slumber, but he felt revitalized from the short nap.<br><br>With a big toothy yawn and a stretch of his front legs, Vincent was energized and ready to take on their day together. Behind him, his big bushy tail wagged in broad arcs to portray his excitement. Vincent eyed his sister through his peripheries since the overlap of their heads prevented direct eye contact. He let out a soft bark that sounded more like ‘boof’ before mouthing the excess fur between her shoulder blades once then licking the spot affectionately. There would be no doubt that both he and the wolf within were eager to play with their sibling. However, she was the alpha and he would wait to see if his playful invitations would be returned in kind before delving into any serious games.

				April let her mouth open up some, her tongue lolling out and hanging over her canine teeth in happiness. His bark just encouraged her to wake up that much more and that he was as awake as she was. Then, his soft mouthing of her fur ellicited a soft growling form her. It felt nice and stoked her own need to get up and play. She rolled over just a bit so that she lay on her side, able to turn her head and nip at his neck some. His invitation was welcome and she continued to show it as April mawed at his neck a bit more, letting her happy growl escape from deep within her throat.<br><br>Then, before he could get too wound up while they were both on the couch, April let her body slide off of it, slowly so that she could land on her feet. Her tail was swishing back and forth as well, happy to be awake, to be in her animal form and to be playing with her brother. They were grieving in their own way, getting closer in their own way and it was something April had never shared with anyone else before. <br><br>She lowered her body a bit once on the ground, her rear end up in the air and her front paws low, eyeing him with her yellowed orbs. Her tail continued to swish back and forth, even as her head was low and waiting for her brother to come off the couch. She didn't want to try and pounce on him while he was on the couch, but planned to jump at him as soon as he moved to get off of there. Of course, she figured he might not, for he had the high ground right now. April let out a happy bark of her own, encouraging him to come down and play with him, prompting him to step right into her trap. With her head low, he would not be able to even paw at her from where he was on the couch, so she hoped he felt no other option than coming down to play.

				If it was possible, Vincent would have moaned in delight at feeling his sister mouthing his neck.&nbsp; It was obvious she was just as eager to play as he was.&nbsp; As she nipped him, he attempted to deflect her playful biting by shoving at her with his head and forepaw.&nbsp; They were half-hearted gestures attempting to provoke their games to escalate.&nbsp; Sure enough, April moved to the floor and he lay there looking at her through his peripheries with tongue lulling to the side as she challenged him.&nbsp; Slowly he stood on the couch, but kept his sister in the side of his vision to watch her movements as she bounced and yipped at him.<br><br>The trap was an obvious one and Vincent was not going to let his advantage of elevation to go to waste.&nbsp; So he waited until she assumed the playful bow again before making his move.&nbsp; Rather than stepping down that would leave him vulnerable, he leapt from the couch forcing her to dart aside or be caught beneath him again.&nbsp; Considering how poorly that arrangement had worked for him in the woods the night before, he was glad she avoided it.&nbsp; Of course he hadn't been aware of how the scent of his sex had affected her, otherwise he may have tried harder to do so again.<br><br>The evasion had left April slightly off balance while he landed squarely on his paws and used the remaining forward momentum into a turn that allowed him to seize the initiative.&nbsp; In a quick turn, he lashed out with his maw and nipped as her hindquarters, biting gently on the fur at the back of her thigh.&nbsp; Figuring she would try to run so she could confront him directly, Vincent prepared himself to give chase.&nbsp; In the comparatively tight quarters of the house full of obstacles, his only chance was to press the advance and keep her flat footed so she cannot get full use of her superior dexterity.

				April dodged his attack, but was left off balance, her feet scrambling on the hardwood floor a bit as she tried to adjust and prepare for another attack from him. It wasn't something she was happy about, for she was supposed to be the alpha, but still, this was all in fun and April was confident that she could best him still. He nipped at her though, which shocked her some. She could pick&nbsp; up from his tail wagging and his perky ears that he was ready to chase. April figured she might as well try her best to give him what he wanted.<br><br>The house was small to them, being large wolves with big paws and all, but April could feel him pressing her, urging her to run. Without much more thought, she let out a happy yip and dashed off down the hall. Her feet skidded just a bit, but her eyes were set on her goal. She meant to run into his bedroom and jump on to the bed, gaining the coveted higher ground. The bed in there was a queen, so large enough for her to bound on top of and it had perhaps the sturdiest frame of them all, so she didn't worry about breaking it.<br><br>As she ran, her tongue hung out of her mouth in joy, her heart racing as she knew he was right behind her. There was no way for her to know what his plan was, but the chase was exciting, even if he was "it". If she got on top of the bed and successfully claimed the high ground, she'd stare down at him and bark, waiting for the right time to jump or take off running again if he left the doorway open. If he too jumped on the bed, April planned on jumping off the other side and making a quick turn to run back down the hall.

				Blood flowed freely through Vincent's body as he was overcome by the thrill of the chase.&nbsp; The hardwood flooring certainly made running across the slick surface difficult and full of awkward slipping, but the pursuit carried on regardless of the treacherous terrain.&nbsp; He saw his sister's objective with amusement and did his best to prevent her from achieving her goal.&nbsp; Despite his best efforts, his larger mass made running across the floor difficult causing him to stumble more readily than his lighter, more agile sister and she managed to claim the high ground before he could even enter the room.<br><br>When he finally made his way to the foot of the bed, his tail was wagging in broad arcs with his tongue lulling out of the side of his mouth as he looked up at his sister who had a similar expression.&nbsp; Vincent returned her bark with a more basso one of his own as he stalked along the perimeter of the bed.&nbsp; Naturally April turned to face him, preventing him from contesting her without leaving himself open as he tried to mount the bed.&nbsp; He had not expected her to give up her vantage point and the moment the bed was between him and the door, his sister bolted.<br><br>Vincent realized his folly and his sister had already darted through the door by the time he could square himself and jump on and over the bed to resume the chase.&nbsp; There was no doubt in his head that she had a commanding lead at this point and by the time he peeked his head out of the doorway she was out of sight.&nbsp; Likely hiding and biding her time.&nbsp; After looking down either side of the hallway, he sniffed the air and was able to pick up her scent.&nbsp; The big black wolf walked cautiously as he followed her appealing aroma, keeping an eye out for any potential ambush as his paws clicked softly on the hard floor with each step.

				April dashed off away from the bed, pleased that her brother had fallen into her trap, or rather, her desired set up. Even as she ran from him, she could almost picture his look of dismay at her dashing off before he could adequately wrestle with her. As she ran off, her mind raced as well, trying to think of the best course of action. She knew she had a good minute head start because he'd have to realize the chase was back on, jump on to the bed, over it and back out. In that moment, she knew an ambush was necessary. A lead like this wasn't easy to come by. Sometimes, chance played a huge role. <br><br>Her long lithe form moved easily into the kitchen and assumed a crouched stance. Her body was pressed against the wall closest to where he would be coming from, so as to ensure he didn't see her until it was too late. Her her was pounding in her chest and she worried he could hear it, even though his sense of smell was going to be so much better. April stared at the wall from which he'd come with steely eyes, waiting almost like a cat would, eager to get the jump on him.<br><br>Soon, she heard his feet clicking as he came down the hallway and would soon be in the living room. Her tail swished happily back and forth, but she tried to slow it. It was something that was very difficult when every fiber of her being wanted to jump around with excitement. Her animal mind had taken over, anticipating the kill as it were and craving it like a drug almost. April licked her lips, hearing his feet coming closer to her hiding spot. <em>click click click</em> went his paws until she could scent him as well, right where she wanted him.<br><br>April bounded up from her spot, her muscular legs sending her rich brown body through the air, attempting to land on her brother and send him sprawling across the floor. She let out a triumphant bark as she pounced on him, her mouth soon open and trying to claim his scruff. Happy growls escaped from deep in her throat and her paws stretched out to further try and submit him. The deep ache she had felt moments ago finally satisfied.

				Vincent let out a yelp of surprise as he spotted April an instant too late and her pounce landed squarely.&nbsp; The slick surface beneath him only served to make matters worse as any advantage his greater mass may have had was turned against him causing him to sprawl helplessly on the ground.&nbsp; He thrashed around for a moment in an attempt to regain his footing, but April proved to be swifter and pinned him before he could get any sort of leverage.&nbsp; She had chosen her point of attack flawlessly as the surface effectively neutralized every advantage he had on her and he couldn't so much as get solid footing beneath him as his sister pinned him to the ground.&nbsp; Despite his efforts to fend her off, they were utterly insignificant and she managed to subdue him and clamp her jaws on the scruff of his neck without much difficulty.<br><br>At first he let out a frustrated growl which quickly subsided to a remorseful whimper.&nbsp; Vincent knew he was beat and once again his sister proved herself superior and worthy of the mantle of leadership.&nbsp; Had his time away from home really made him that weak?&nbsp; The evidence certainly supported his theory.&nbsp; Ultimately he had no choice but acknowledge defeat and surrender to his superior.&nbsp; Once again, though this time more begrudgingly, he rolled to his back and exposed his soft belly and sex to her in subservience to his alpha.&nbsp; The futile struggling on the unfavorable terrain took a lot of effort in a short amount of time and he lay there panting from exertion.&nbsp; <em>No wonder why she didn't want to mate with me last night.&nbsp; Given how poorly I have been performing, she's bound to be looking for a more suitable male to suit her needs.</em>&nbsp; It was a mutual thought shared by both of his minds and he couldn't help but let out an exasperated doggie sigh when he came to that conclusion.<br><br>He looked up at his sister, though unable to make direct eye contact.&nbsp; It would be easy for her to read the disappointment he was feeling for himself in his timid golden hues.&nbsp; The game had certainly been fun, but it was just another sobering reminder of where his poor decisions had left him.&nbsp; Another deep sigh burst from his lungs and he forced back those negative feelings and returned to his more playful mindset.&nbsp; His tail wagged in slow half-hearted arcs at first, but he was gradually pulling himself out of his funk for the sake of enjoying the time spent with his sister.

				April pawed at him still, ensuring that he was pinned, heart still racing and joy coursing through her body. It felt so good to be winning, to be wrestling, to be in her animal form, to not care about anything. She chewed on his neck some, still growling happily, before he submitted fully to her. It was then that she pulled away, tail still happily swishing back and forth as she took him in with her golden flecked gaze. <br><br>It was obvious from even a glance that he was not happy. If he could frown as a canine, she was sure he would have. Her heart sank just a bit, worrying that he was upset with her or perhaps that he was remembering their parents death. There could be several reasons, but she could not even ask what they were. All April could do was calm down and let their wrestling come to an end. She had one, which pleased her, as it ensured her position as alpha for the time, but his feelings were still important.<br><br>Her body fell to her own stomach, right where it had been moments before as she wrestled with him. Her head cocked to the side a bit as if to ask what was wrong, but she wasted no time waiting for a response. April gently reached out with her muzzle and licked at his neck, the very spot she had been biting moments ago. Her tongue moved up over his neck to the side of his face. April paused after a moment, her own tail still swishing back and forth, occasionally thumping on the hard wood floor.<br><br>As any canine might, April soon picked up the distinct scent of his sex as he lay on his back. Without thought, she stretched out her muzzle a bit to hover over his stomach. She sniffed at the fur there for a moment. He smelled of the woods still, even though they had showered. Somewhere beneath that was the distinct musky scent that was his, strong like their father. April moved her muzzle a bit lower towards where his belly button would be. She could pick it up even more now, the smell that had turned her last night and had lingered clear until this morning even. Her tail paused as she found she couldn't easily pull away. What was it about it? No solely human person could understand, but to her animal nose, and his as well, there were distinct subtleties that existed. On her brother, she could almost smell the testosterone and could pick up the hints of what would make his semen that much different from another mans. He would be able to pick up similar things with her scent. It was what made it so troubling. Her sense of smell was so strong and every sniff spoke to her animal self. <br><br>Her human mind kicked in, urging her to realize what she was doing. Surely he had. April let out an almost pleased sigh of air before returning her muzzle to his neck. She let her form roll over to her side so that she could paw at him lightly and in a non threatening way. Yeah, she was trying to play it off. April licked his neck a bit again, tail thumping gently against the floor. The arousal was building within her though. She couldn't get his scent out of her nose, couldn't stop thinking of how his cock had looked this morning and even now for that matter. It would be so easy for it to come out of its' sheath, the smell of him filling the room that much more. <em>No, I can't think of that. This is my brother. I'm not in my right mind set</em> she thought as April tried her best to play off her feelings, play off what she had done as just a simple canine gesture, which it sometimes was. It may have started as that, but the feelings stirring inside of her suggested more though. Why was she having this problem?

				Aprils open affection for him had helped to take the edge off his defeat as she licked his neck.&nbsp; As it moved closer to his face, Vincent's furred tail began to beat a steady rhythm against the floor.&nbsp; Perhaps he had just jumped to conclusions about why she didn't want to be intimate with him last night.&nbsp; Though he could hardly blame her for rejecting him, it was a wonderful consolation prize of sharing a bed as they slept.&nbsp; After all, even though he wasn't the highest rank of the pack, he had a rank all the same which meant he was no longer alone.&nbsp; That in of itself was something far more meaningful than a leadership role.<br><br>Vincent felt the puff of his sister's breath beginning to work its way down his torso and he froze in equal measures surprise and anticipation.&nbsp; He lowered his head to watch her as she visibly debated with herself to keep venturing lower and each time she did so his tail would beat the floor once in approval.&nbsp; There was a fluttering in his stomach as her proximity to his sensitive regions grew nearer, his libido beginning to stir hopefully.&nbsp; He dared not move apart from the occasional wag of the tail, watching her in still silence as she contemplated.&nbsp; As to what exactly, he could not be entirely sure, but he hoped it would work out in his favor.&nbsp; There was a twinge of disappointment as he watched her eyes gain a measure of human intelligence and April turned her attention away with a sigh of air.&nbsp; It was that warm breath that caressed his stomach and sheath, finally coaxing the tip of his manhood out of if sheath.<br><br>Even as she lay next to him and paw lightheartedly, blood had already begun to flow to his nether regions until a couple inches of his overall length peeked out of his sheath.&nbsp; It would only be a matter of moments before the scent of his cock would carry to her sensitive nose.&nbsp; Vincent tried to play it off, uncertain how she would respond to his arousal as he returned her playful batting and wagging tail.&nbsp; His upper body was turned towards her to engage in her playful batting, but his lower body remained as it was with his belly in the air and his legs spread.&nbsp; The cool air felt intriguing on his shaft, caressing it just enough to prevent it from receding for a time.&nbsp; Vincent could feel his primal mind starting to kick in, urging him to mate his sister while his rational mind urged him to be cautious.&nbsp; Though both minds wanted desperately to be intimate with April, only one had the foresight to see whether she was entirely opposed to the idea first.

				April almost smiled as he pawed at her a bit, returning her batting a bit. It was light and enjoyable, especially after their running and her struggles to ignore his body. Soon, her tongue fell out of her mouth and hung over her teeth in as much of a smile as she could manage in her wolf form. It was the perfect time to catch her breath and curb her thoughts.<br><br>Soon though, she could scent his arousal in the air. It smelled so sweet and it drew her eyes down his belly to the pink of his cock poking out from his sheath. Even with the bit of a human mind that she had, it looked good. All she could think of was letting him take her or letting him do things to her. All of her thoughts were submissive, coaxing her into the natural mindset of a female wolf. April licked her jowels a bit, unable to keep from panting as her own arousal built and she could do nothing to stop it. <br><br>April forced her gaze away and looked to her brother. Was he doing this on purpose? Did he have any idea what he was doing? What was he thinking? What did he want? Thoughts ran rampant through her mind as she tried to make sense of it, make sense of her emotions. Every part of her animal body wanted to give in, more and more with each passing minute, but the human part of her brain was pleading, trying to remind her this was her brother. Of course, that part of her brain remembered all too well how his cock had looked just that morning, how his kiss had felt that night. <br><br>Torn as to what to do, she finally just pulled herself to her feet and barked at him. Perhaps if they kept their wrestling up, she could get her mind off the sexual nature of their encounter. She lowered her front paws and kept her rear in the air, wagging her tail some as she looked to him. She was sure he could smell her own arousal, see it in her eyes, but she was trying desperately to avoid making a decision, especially in this state. This was supposed to be a time for bonding, not sex. More so, she was alpha damn it, and she wanted to make sure that she stayed in control. More and more though, she felt her alpha spirit faltering as she thought of the things he could do to her.

				As Vincent lay there playfully batting at his sister, he noticed the shift in her expression as she must have become aware of his arousal. He watched her eyes as they travelled towards his groin and got the impression that there was interest in her eyes. That realization only coaxed his length a little further from his sheath as the sexual tension between them became more palpable. He could feel the wolf within him beginning to assert control and he made no effort to fight it. It was obvious enough when her gaze met his once more that she had done the opposite and intended to resist her primal desires. All the while he wanted nothing more than to mate her then and there.<br><br>He watched as April stood, but once she assumed the playful pose all he could think about was how her hindquarters were exposed. After a moment, the scent of her own arousal caught his nose and Vincent let go of the reigns that kept his wolf mind in check to let the chips fall where they may. The wolf Vincent pulled himself to his feet, his tail swaying back and forth excitedly. His golden hues met Aprils for a moment before they snapped intently towards her lifted rear. Without hesitation or ceremony, he followed his nose towards the source of the alluring aroma even as she tried to evade and play. Before she could get too far, though, one of his powerful paws came down on her lower back and prevented her from bounding away again.<br><br>Before she had an opportunity to slip free of his tenuous grapple, he traversed the last step along side her, facing in the opposite direction and turned his head to breathe in her sweet musk direct from the source. A broad pink tongue flicked out from between his lips and caressed her sex before he had even exhaled. The flavor of her arousal was like pouring gasoline in the fuels of his desire for her and the entirety of his large red cock now stood fully exposed from its sheath, making his want for her known. Positioned as they were, if she had resumed her stance with her front end lowered, she would have gotten a clear view and scent of his eager manhood. He utilized the moment of surprise to lick her hot nether lips a few more times and would continue to do so until she either slipped away or until he was ready to mount her.

				April panted softly, waiting for him to get up and play with her. Her heart was pounding in her chest with each passing minute. The air was thick with their scents and it was becoming more and more intoxicating, harder and harder to resist. He rose, tail wagging a bit and she rejoiced inside, thinking he might decide to play with her and let the air between them go unnoticed. <br><br>As he moved, she did try to engage him, but once his powerful paw landed on her, she couldn't move as before. His weight pressed on her just enough to show her he was serious. April glanced excitedly, and nervously, to him, watching his every move, her tongue hanging out of her mouth as she panted. Before she could think anymore, his tongue flicked out and licked at her aching sex. The one lick caused her to whimper a bit. Even in her wolf form, she had to admit that it felt good. But April tried to reason with herself, tried to think about this more, tried to remain dominant when every nerve in her body wanted her to submit. <br><br>He was holding her easily enough and April lowered her whole body, partially submitting it seemed. She could scent him even more now and could see his large red cock looming ever closer to her. It caused another soft whimper to escape from deep within her throat. Was it need? Nerves? April couldn't even be sure. Her mind was a rush of emotions, a rush of wants and she couldn't make sense of them all. She was conflicted being in her animal form and wanting those animal things, but also being part human and trying to remain cognizant of all those things.<br><br>His tongue darted out and licked her again, continuing this time. April couldn't help but squirm. It felt good, really good and for a moment, she let herself enjoy it. Her mind rushed with sexual images of her brother this morning, his thick hard cock, the talk from last night, the kiss, the scent of him on the air, how it would feel to have him mount her like this. She whimpered once more, but managed to resist just a bit. Her form wriggled to try and escape his paw. At the same time, she knew what she had to do. In a bit of panic, she forced the change on her again, not caring that he was right there in his wolf form and not caring that she would be naked. <br><br>She was torn between worlds and needed desperately to be in her more preferred one for the time. Her body arched a bit and stretched as the furry body beneath his paw turned into her tan and lean womanly figure. As she lay there naked, her heart still raced and she could tell that her arousal was just as strong. Already she noted that her pussy was damp, eager and ready, especially after going so long without any release from a man. What she had hoped would be a release from her animal mind had only caused her to be naked and horny in front of her similarly horny brother. April didn't know what to do, what she wanted. All she could think was to squirm away a bit, but would he let her? Did she even want him to? There was reluctance in her movements.

				The fact that April had switched forms once more did nothing to deter his desires.&nbsp; Vincent paused long enough for her to complete the transition, but didn't give her time to recover before his broad tongue went back to licking the moisture gathering along her slit.&nbsp; The flesh there was as warm as his tongue and all of his senses were fixated on just how aroused she had become for him.&nbsp; All the while, his human mind simply let the more primal side of him do what came naturally while savoring every moment of it.&nbsp; He could feel his sister beginning to submit to his attention, still hesitant but also seemingly willing to allow him to continue.<br><br>Desire built up within him and his cock began to throb with anticipation in time with his quickening heartbeat.&nbsp; He couldn't believe how amazing she tasted.&nbsp; April's nectar was an aphrodisiac in of itself that was entirely appealing to his pallet.&nbsp; After a moment, Vincent was growing impatient with how each lick would only yield him a sample of her flavor.&nbsp; With each lick, his desire would cause him to press more firmly against her sex as his velvety tongue glided along her clit and over her sex.&nbsp; It only took a few repetitions before the efforts of his teasing caused her nether lips to yield and his long tongue slid deep into her void.&nbsp; Over and over again it would plunge inside his sister before curling and lapping up however much of her arousal he could collect before bringing it back into his maw before repeating the process zealously.&nbsp; Vincent was drinking from her with a thirst that couldn't be quenched and his manhood ached with envy.<br><br>All the while his hot breath bathed over her sex as his breathing grew more heavy and excited by the moment.&nbsp; Vincent knew if this carried on for much longer, he wouldn't be able to resist his urge to mate her right then and there.&nbsp; As in control as his wolf mind was, he would find it difficult to will himself into shifting.&nbsp; Though, he had no particular objection to taking her in his wolf form, even if she was in her human one.&nbsp; The form wasn't important, it was the individual he was most eager to be intimate with.&nbsp; He wanted to be one with his sister, to share in the most intimate of acts so that he could show her just how much he loved and desired her.

				April found she couldn't get away. Not necessarily from lack of ability, but more so from lack of strength. He was back at her sex, licking her before she could move far at all and then, she was almost paralyzed. His licks were strong and with his broad, long tongue, he was able to touch all of her sensitive sex. She panted and let out a soft moan, unable to keep herself from enjoying it. <br><br>She was in her human form, and thus a bit more comfortable and mentally aware of what was going on, but her need penetrated both mindsets. It had been so long since she had had any action and the sexual tension she had felt with her brother was ever pressing on her. It felt delicious to have even a bit of release, to have a taste of what he could make her feel after all their talk and after their kissing. <br><br>Slowly, her body arched a bit, welcoming his tongue to her cunt. She rested on her forearms and lifted her rear for him, just as she would if she were in her wolf form. Soon, his muzzle seemed more buried in her sex and April let out a loud gasp as her folds gave way and welcomed his tongue deep inside of her. It licked around her sensitive inner walls and she shivered, moaning more and more now with each stroke. She could hear his greedy lapping and hear how his breathing was being affected as his muzzle remained buried against her. Even as she lay there a human, all she could think about was submitting to him like an animal. He was not her brother. He was quickly becoming a lover. <br><br>April could not smell the arousal in the air as strong now, but it was still there, stuck in her senses. One glance up and she could see his long pink cock sticking out, aching and throbbing a bit almost with each lick. She hesitated only a moment before deciding to give him some pleasure too. She reached up with a hand and started to stroke the length of his cock. He was in his wolf form, so it felt a bit out of place, but she knew the man inside and knew that this big cock would be just as nice if he were in his human form as well. More so, she knew how it would make him feel. April found herself wanting more and more to make him feel good as he was making her feel. Already she could feel her orgasm building. There was only the slightest chastisement as it built, knowing deep down that it was her brother who was going to do it. More so, it was her brother as a wolf.<br><br>She let her hand glide over his length, her fingers stroking his pick cock as it rested out of its' sheath. It was so slick and she couldn't keep from thinking of how it would feel inside of her. Her mind was getting delirious with need and desire. April groaned softly as another strong lick struck her, making her body shudder yet again. Her hand continued to stroke him. She wanted to lick him, to please him and to bring that much more fulfillment to herself, but she worried that rising enough to do so would make him stop. Another time, she told herself, and even then, she could only mildly realize what she was saying. April knew there would be another time that she'd give herself to him. "Fuck Vincent," she panted gently, eyes closing as she further lost herself in the euphoria of his licks. Would he make her climax? She hoped he wouldn't stop, or if he did, she more and more hoped that he would give her his cock. It was right there, in her hands and with his tongue inside of her, she couldn't help but imagine how he would feel.

				Vincent let out a soft whimper of delight as he felt his sister's gentle fingers wrap around his cock and giving it the attention it needed.&nbsp; His hips started to move on their own as he slowly thrust into her grip as it slid along his length.&nbsp; Already a bead of pre appeared at his tip, proof of just how strained his balls were to contain his seed.&nbsp; Excitement mixed with the pleasure as he realized his sister's willingness to do this.&nbsp; She wanted to please him as well as be pleased and given by her initiative, April was over her concern that he was her brother.&nbsp; At least for the moment and he had no intention of letting the opportunity pass him by.&nbsp; He loved his sister, completely and unconditionally.&nbsp; What they were doing was just as much a way to strengthen their bond to one another both as wolves in a pack and emotionally as humans.&nbsp; Vincent needed her in every sense of the phrase and would not be content until he had that.<br><br>The scent of April's arousal flooded his nose as well as coated his tongue and he couldn't have found it any more appealing to him.&nbsp; All the while her hand's activities only served to fill him with even more need while also inviting him to continue.&nbsp; His tail hung high in the air, twitching and flagging as even it was effected by the pleasure racing through his body.&nbsp; He heard her cry out his name, her voice full of the sort of wanton desire he was feeling towards her and took that as a sign to press onward.&nbsp; Vincent's body was tense with anticipation as he stepped around her, having the unfortunate effect of pulling his manhood out of her grip.&nbsp; It would be a fleeting regret though as he withdrew his tongue from her depths for the last time and positioned himself behind her.<br><br>Hopping up onto his hindquarters for a moment, he moved forward and mounted his sister.&nbsp; Her positioning was ideal for his form and the soft fur of his chest and stomach caressed her bare back like the softest blanket.&nbsp; Vincent's powerful forepaws wrapped around her hips with the pads of his feet resting on the front of her thighs to push him up higher on her body.&nbsp; Behind him, his plumed tail flown high in the air excitedly as he could feel the heat of April's sex on the tip of his cock before he had even made contact.&nbsp; His elongated muzzle rested high between her shoulder blades allowing him to smell the alluring aroma of her hair while his exhales caressed the sensitive skin on the back of her neck.<br><br>When his cock finally did kiss her sex, his crown pressing between her nether lips, Vincent let out a yiff of pleasure and excitement.&nbsp; Every fiber of his being ached for this moment.&nbsp; His long, strong tongue slid between his lips and gently glided along the back of April's neck in a canine equivalent of a kiss.&nbsp; After taking a quick moment to solidify his footing, his paws gripped her more firmly and his back arched forward allowing his large pink cock to slide into his sister's pussy at a steady advance until he had plunged himself to the hilt.<br><br>Instantly, pleasure ran rampant through him like electricity through a power station.&nbsp; It took all the effort he could manage to restrain his wolf instincts enough to prevent from jack hammering into her intent for a quick mating.&nbsp; The two minds managed to come to a compromise by substituting speed for power.&nbsp; Once he recovered from the initial surge of ecstasy, Vincent began mating his sister in steady rhythm that wasn't fast, but wasn't slow while each thrust was intended to press himself as deeply into her hot velvety embrace as possible.&nbsp; Each time he could feel the tip of his cock just barely kiss her cervix, entirely filling her cunt with his size.&nbsp; Vincent couldn't believe how amazing his sister felt, as if their similar genes had the added effect of making them fit perfectly together.&nbsp; Despite his attempts to keep his pace under control, he could tell that his thrusting was very gradually gaining speed as he lost himself to the moment.

				April stroked him even when he started to thrust in her hand. His actions made it more difficult, but she didn't mind entirely. He was aroused and it pleased her knowing that he was like that. He was her brother, but in this moment, all she wanted was to be fucked. Every dirty desire in her past, every crazy sex act she had ever wanted to try paled in comparison. She was going to get fucked by her brother and knew she was dripping all the more at the thought. With her body aching, yearning for cock, she couldn't bring herself to worry where it was coming from: her brother or another, a wolf or a man.<br><br>Vincent pulled from her and she followed him with her gaze. Just as he moved, his tongue slipped from her cunt. April let out a disappointed whimper, but continued to watch. Much to her pleasure, he was getting ready to mount her. She had been so close to orgasm, wanted it so badly. Watching as her brother reared up and placed himself against her back just made her crave it that much more. April let out another soft whimper, urging him on with her vocalizations, even though she could talk.<br><br>April adjusted so that she was held up on her hands and knees, ready to take him inside of her. The fur against her back was warm, soft and welcoming like she wouldn't have thought. In that moment, she realized just how terrible what she was doing actually was, and yet, she did nothing to stop him. Her need had grown too much and she knew it would be a mistake to deny what she wanted. It would be a mistake to deny her brother what she knew he wanted as well. In that moment, the terrible taboo of what was happening sank in, but still, she had to have it. April let out a soft moan as she felt him positioned at her entrance. God she ached. "Please," she said, her chest heaving with desire.<br><br>Then, he plunged into her and April cried out in pleasure. His thick cock spread her pussy walls apart and slid right into her all at the same time. She was so tight after going so long without sex. More so, she was all the more sensitive from it. "God Vincent," she panted softly, holding herself up even when all she wanted to do was lay there and get fucked. No, this position was hard with him in his wolf form. She needed to stay poised carefully so as not to have him pop out of her juicy cunt.<br><br>His head was against her neck and she nudged her head back a bit, trying to nuzzle him. April wished he had been human. He was her brother, but the moment they were having was so intimate, she kept thinking of how nice it would be to have him as a man, able to do all the kinky things she had always desired. For now though, his large pick cock was pleasing her and she couldn't really complain. With each powerful stroke, April cried out, letting her pleasure echo through out the cabin. It didn't take long before her pleasure reached it's peak.<br><br>April had been denied it so long already and couldn't wait anymore. Her back arched that much more and she clawed at the hardwood floor, desperate to climax with every muscle in her body. Her pussy walls clenched and tightened around his cock as she came, her juices further coating his canine cock. April tossed her head back a bit and cried out again, moaning and whimpering as pleasure wracked her body, making her shiver as her pussy pulsed against his thrusting member. It felt good, like her body was on delicious fire, like it was tingling with every nerve alive. It lasted for a long minute, each thrust of his continuing it that much longer and making it that much better. Finally, she had to relax, but stayed on her hands and knees. Her head hung low a bit and she panted, trying to catch her breath as her pussy quivered softly against his length.

				Vincent could feel his sister’s attempts to nuzzle him despite how awkward it would be in their current position. He met her halfway, allowing his fluffy cheek to press against her skin along with his panting breaths. This was actually the first time he ever mated in his wolf form and it was definitely something he enjoyed. Doing it doggy style was, unsurprisingly, effortlessly easy while made much more enjoyable with the way he plunged into her molten sex at the perfect angle to apply extra pressure in all the right places. Not to mention how good felt not having to struggle against the wolf side of him that felt desire just as keenly, but had far more drive to act on it in its own way.<br><br>The naughty scent of their mating caressed drifted to his nose and he couldn’t help but marvel how well their individual musk complimented on another when combined. Though he didn’t need his keen ears to hear the sound of how much pleasure he was bringing April, but he certainly enjoyed hearing it more clearly. It was because of that that he was able to hear the cadence of her cries increasing, letting him know that she was nearing her climax. Vincent remembered her saying how long it had been since a guy had left her satisfied after sex and how frustrated it had made her. Eager to prove himself as a competent lover who was capable of pleasing her, he worked harder to bring make her cum for him and his canine side was more than happy to oblige.<br><br>When the intense pleasure of her climax finally did crash over her, Vincent held on tight and continued to pound away at her intent on prolonging those sensations as long as possible. His wolf form made it difficult to moan in the traditional sense, so when he felt his sister’s pussy clenching around his cock desperately trying to coax his seed from his loins, he whimpered wantonly. Had it been up to his primal side, Vincent would have released then and there, but his human side was not content with giving April only one orgasm. It was a desperate struggle within while on the outside he continued to thrust into his sister’s tight cunt over and over again. After what felt like hours in his warring mind, his sister’s minute-long orgasm finally began to subside and giving him reason to slow down for a moment to recompose himself.<br><br>By then he was panting heavily from exertion, but was far from exhausted. All the while the beast howled its protest in his mind, resenting his decision to slow down. As the seconds ticked by, his own resolve began to strain until Vincent lost the battle over control. The instant the wolf was back at the helm, he began ramming his cock into her pussy at a feverish pace. He was taking her hard and fast; without him being in control of the body, Vincent focused his attention on prolonging the inevitable to give his sister time to build up for another climax in the hopes they could reach their peak at the same time. It was that effort that made his primal state work even harder for the sake of racing to the finish so that he could release his seed into her. The room was filled with the sound of constant muffled impacts as his furred groin slammed against her ass at the fastest pace yet.<br><br>Vincent’s efforts had bought them a handful of minutes before he had reached the point of no return. The wolf that was fucking April let out a keening howl as intense pleasure lit up every fiber of his being before being washed away by ecstasy after what felt like a wonderful eternity later. His paws wrapped around her hips tighter as his thrusts stopped, leaving the entirety of his length buried to the hilt as his cock twitched inside of her, filling her womb with his hot seed. Jet after jet of his essence was released inside of her, making him whimper as the sensation was traced with spikes of heightened pleasure. His muzzle pressed against the bare skin between her shoulder blades where he began licking affectionately as he worked to give her every drop he had to offer.

				As one orgasm began to subside, she felt another one being stoked within her. His fast relentless pumping was bringing her sheer pleasure. There were no thoughts in her mind aside from the burning heat in her loins as she yearned for release. His cock thrust in and out of her steadily, rubbing her slick walls again and again. Her head tipped back a bit to reach his, her back arching that much more in the action. Her walls tensed and she once again cried out, whimpering as he brought her to another orgasm.<br><br>Her body shook and her eyes closed. The whole moment so surreal. He felt amazing and yet, she was aware that he wasn't human. Somehow she wasn't thinking about him as her brother, but....well she didn't really know. He was the thick cock bringing her to climax was all she could easily surmise. Still, the fur against her was ever present and did not go unnoticed. April liked the feel of it against her, how it was getting sweaty and surely smelling of her unique scent. It turned her on that much more, in a way she had never known, to feel his animal body against her, his thick knot thrusting against her cunt, but never going in.<br><br>As Vincent lost control of his animal side, she felt his fucking pick up. April couldn't help but let out a bit of a whimper, a helpless cry as she fell victim to his relentless motions. Still, the paws on her legs and the cock slamming her like no man had done before left her head swimming, her being in a state of euphoria. As he whimpered and panted against her, she only felt her walls tightening that much more. April dug her nails into the floor a bit again. He was giving it to her good and she almost couldn't take it. But before she could say anything, her body started to twitch and occupy her in another orgasm.<br><br>Her back arched against her brother and she lifted her head up to the ceiling. April cried out in pleasure, biting her bottom lip as she tried to just take his cock. Her form rocked a bit against him though, unable to keep entirely still. Then, her pleasure flooded her and saturated her entire body. As her walls pulsed around his member, she felt his motions pause and his load shoot deep inside of her cunt. There was nothing she could even say to it, for there were no words. Her body controlled all of her and was still twitching against him. He was the best fuck she'd had.<br><br>April let her arms go slack and rested her head on the hardwood floor, waiting for him to dismount, but not minding as he stayed. Her mind slowly flitted back to reality and realized what had happened. There was a brief moment of guilt as she knew that she had sex with her brother, in his wolf form no less, and she thought she should feel dirty. Then there was the other part of her that knew very well he had pleased her, in his wolf form even, more than any man had before. It just made her ache and yearn to know how he fucked as a man, even if he was her brother.

				Vincent remained atop his sister for several moments after his release, panting heavily for breath. Occasionally he would press his hips forward more firmly both to feel the spike of pleasure from the slight motion and to make sure he had left the entirety of his load inside of her pussy. After the better half of a minute, he withdrew his length with a whimper as another peak of sensation washed over him as he felt her walls grip his length on the way out. He climbed down from his sister feeling thoroughly pleased, happy, and contented while he moved beside her and lay on his side. Once he was down, his figure began to reshape itself into his human shape now that the beast within was satiated.<br><br>His long dark locks sprawled around his head. Despite having shifted forms Vincent was still panting as a result from the exertion of their mating, but there was a broad smile on his face that reached all the way to his eyes. “Holy shit, sis. That was amazing!” It was clear that he felt no particular guilt about what had just taken place and was entirely happy with having had sex with his sister. He could feel that by doing so, he was now closer to April than he had ever been. Though, he was certain they could enhance that feeling of unity should they make love with both of them in their human forms.<br><br>Vincent’s warm hand reached up to gently trace his fingers along the middle of her back while the other pillowed his head from the floor. If she was paying attention, she would feel the slight motion of his touch that was subtly urging her to lay on her side with her back towards him. Should she pick up on that suggestion, it would be easy to determine that he wanted to spoon with her as they basked together. His entire body was swimming in bliss and there was an elated shimmer to his eyes as he noticed how exhausted he had made April. “I hope I met your requirements of a good lover and made up for the lull in your sex life. If not, let me know and I’ll be more than happy to keep going until you are thoroughly satisfied.”

				April felt her body shiver as he remained in her, every movement sending shocks of need through her body again. She knew she was hard to keep satisfied. It was one of the reasons her sex life had been so lame. No man had been able to challenge her, satisfy her and surprise her enough to keep her interest. Already, her body was starting to ache for more orgasms, but she suppressed those needs for the time. Her brother had just emptied his load deep inside of her and thus, she felt there were other issues to be dealt with at present.<br><br>He pulled out of her and she let out a small gasp, feeling his hot cum ooze out of her cunt, running down her thighs a bit as she finally let her body slump down to the floor. Vincent moved beside her and she could hear him panting, even as his body shifted and soon there was a human hand against her back. April instinctively let out a soft moan, her body responding to the light touches without much thought. Her eyes were closed though and April was starting to come back to reality.<br><br>His words struck her when he mentioned how great their sex had been. April pursed her lips together. She was fighting the guilt that she felt, the bit of frustration with her own lack of self control. Slowly, a smile spread across her lips and she nodded a bit. "Yeah, yeah it was." And she knew it had been. No man, or animal for that matter, had fucked her like that and made her cum so hard. Her pussy was already aching for more. But she couldn't deny, now being perfectly human and logical, that what they had done was wrong.<br><br>"Before she could say anything though, she felt him urging her on her side. With another smile, she couldn't help but oblige him and rolled over to her side so that her back was against him. She kept her thighs closed, brutally aware of how soaked they were. His touch did not go unnoticed either, as his hand rested against her bare flesh. April had to close her eyes and force herself to regain her composure again. This was serious, she told herself. As she opened her mouth to speak, Vincent was speaking again. April bit her bottom lip as he talked, wanting to believe his words and wanting to take him up on them. She could feel his bare body pressed against hers, her sex already wet and ready for more, but she tried to reign it all in again.<br><br>"Vincent, I....I can't help but feel a bit guilty about all of this," she said softly, not making any move to go anywhere. "I'm just really confused of how to process all of this. You're my brother, whom I haven't seen for years, and one of the first things we do together is have sex. I feel like I should have been stronger, resisted some, or tried to think of other things to do. Yet," she sighed deeply. "I just have so many needs and...." April couldn't even bring herself to say how long it had been since she had good sex, how long it had been since something so erotic and powerful had happened to her. "and well, I can't say that I was disappointed."<br><br>Her tone was simple, not wanting to hurt his feelings, but needing to be honest with him. Even after her crashing orgasms, April wanted more, wanted to see what else he could do to her and make her feel. Still, he was her brother and this was not how brother and sister were supposed to bond. Hell, April had left out the part about the animal fucking. She let out another sigh. Was she letting their parents down? Was she embarrassing herself? It felt so wrong, and yet, it all felt so damn good.

				Vincent moaned happily as he felt his sister's body mold itself against his front as they lay spooning.&nbsp; His arm wrapped possessively around her body while his fingers gently caressed the flesh they could reach.&nbsp; It made him happy to know she enjoyed what they had just done as much as he had.&nbsp; The reassurance convinced him to curl his hips and legs under hers to complete the spooning position with his semi-hard cock pressed between his groin and her firm cheeks.&nbsp; Though he had just released and filled her with his essence, the desire he felt for his sister was far from satiated and he meant every word of his earlier promise.<br><br>As she spoke, he couldn't help but feel the keen sense of happiness dull slightly when she stated her regret for giving in to their mutual desires.&nbsp; It made him wonder if there was something wrong with him for not feeling that sense of guilt when the rest of society demanded that he should.&nbsp; But it felt so natural, so right.&nbsp; Even if he did it in his wolf form which should have only added to the taboo.&nbsp; Despite her earlier doubts, the damage dealt to his afterglow state of mind was mitigated when she all but said she was glad it happened.<br><br>His grip tightened reassuringly around her.&nbsp; "First off, I hardly consider this being among first thing we did together and you have been resisting up until now.&nbsp; Like last night for example."&nbsp; Vincent nuzzled his face into the hair on the back of April's head, allowing his human nose to smell the natural scent of her pheromones.&nbsp; "And if you have all those needs, then who better to help you meet them than somebody who loves you unconditionally?"&nbsp; His lips pressed softly against the back of her head in a kiss that lasted far longer than one should be shared between siblings according to society standards.&nbsp; "I don't know about you sis, but I certainly feel a lot closer to you now that we have made love.&nbsp; If it felt so good, then why should you feel bad about it?&nbsp; According to normal society, we're already abominations so why should we bind ourselves to those who will never accept who we really are?"&nbsp; Once again he nuzzled into her, moaning affectionately as he did so.&nbsp; "Plus, I don't care about what others think of us.&nbsp; You're the only one I truly care about now that I have you back.&nbsp; I don't regret the moment we just shared together in the least, but if you do and wish for it never to happen again... then I will respect your decision and do my best to resist those urges.&nbsp; I love you April and can't bear the thought of you losing respect for me because of my lack of self control in expressing how I truly feel about you."

				April felt his fingertips along her body, stroking her sensitive flesh. It was hard to resist falling into an entirely relaxed and intimate state with his gentle touches. Still, there was the matter at hand, the slightly upset feeling swirling around in the pit of her stomach. It was hard to process, all of it. The least she could do was give it her entire attention right now and try to fix what she could. April just didn't know what needed to be done to fix it all.<br><br>His kiss rested at the nape of her neck and as he nuzzled her, she felt his nose tickling her hair. A soft moan escaped her lips as her eyes closed and she started to feel her arousal build again. He was coaxing the animal out of her, urging her to relate and be what she so desperately felt like being. Then his grip tightened just a bit and she felt her body grow slack just a bit, relaxing into a bit of a submissive state as her brothers strong form rest behind her.<br><br>April pursed her lips as he talked, trying to process all that he said and take it to heart. He had good points, all of them. Everything he said rung true. Weren't they already violating society's laws? Weren't they doing what felt right? Wasn't it nice to have a man totally please her, one that did love her like only a brother could? He continued to say how much she meant to him, and those were words that she had longed to hear for so long. He was her brother and had been gone for so many years. How were they supposed to rekindle what had been lost? He surely was trying his best to be there for her, really in every sense of the word.<br><br>Another sigh escaped her lips as she felt the emotions welling up inside of her. He did mean a lot to her, and if it weren't for their parents death, she might never have seen him until they died of old age and they each had a family or something. He was here now, professing his love and affection. She felt like he was so much more than her brother, especially after their lovemaking. He was a lover and his confessing his love for her just seemed that much stronger because of it. <br><br>"Vincent," she said finally, her voice soft and her eyes still closed. "I understand what you're saying, and as much as I am still torn, I do agree with you. I love you too and am very happy to have you back in my life. Nothing you do could make me hate you or anything like that." April took a deep breath and pushed back against him, feeling the muscles of his torso and his cock press back against her in response. "Things have just gotten a bit complicated for me is all."<br><br>April let out a soft chuckle. She was trying to bring things back to normal for the moment, not to mention ignore her own arousal and need building. If she accepted him as a lover, she would have to accept that she might have finally found someone to satisfy all of her needs, to please her like she always yearned to be. It would mean she'd need to be honest with him and tell him all of her kinks. That was a very vulnerable thing, especially because she still considered herself alpha. Now that was a whole other level to the whole incident, she thought.<br><br>She pulled from him just a bit so that she could roll over and face him, groaning a bit as she tried to be comfortable on the hard wood floor. April stared into her brothers green eyes, her own light green irises staring out from behind a few stray and sweaty strands of hair. "Don't think this makes you alpha though," she said softly. April knew it would take a bit more than this to prove to her he was alpha. She still bested him in wrestling, but now, she felt a tinge of excitement thinking about where their wrestling would go and whether or not the extra incentive would bring out the alpha within him.<br><br>"We should get some food," she said with a smile, leaning forward to kiss him lightly on the nose with a bit of a giggle. She couldn't bring herself to kiss him on the lips right now, less she find herself noticing all the lines in his body and the cock that rested just a bit below. April pushed herself away and stood up, feeling a bit vulnerable and exposed now that she was entirely naked to his human eyes. Still, it was a bit exciting, knowing that the very sight of her naked body might excite him like his did to her. She went down the hall for a brief moment and came back with just her shirt and panties on, rather than covering up entirely like she had been. It would be comfortable and at least make herself a bit vulnerable still to him so that he didn't feel hurt.<br><br>April went to the kitchen and leaned into the fridge, searching for some food, settling on sandwitches for them. It was simple and really, they needed lunch. Shifting took so much energy out of her. Her mind raced a bit though, wondering if she could really accept the state of things as they were, wondering if she could curb her sexual appetite now that it had been revived, by her own brother no less.

				It was clear that something still weighed on April's mind, but the fact that she was so receptive to his touches and remain with him in such an intimate position suggested it was no longer about incest.&nbsp; Vincent mused to himself, wondering if he would ever be able to figure out what it is that goes on in his sister's mind.&nbsp; He loosened his grip slightly as she shifted in his arms enough to look back at him.&nbsp; A bark of a laugh burst from his lungs at her alpha remark, clearly she wasn't going to give the title up so easily.&nbsp; "I was too busy enjoying other things for that thought to even cross my mind.&nbsp; Rest assured, I am well aware that you're still in possession of that rank... For now anyways."&nbsp; The last bit was punctuated with a devious smile and a wink.&nbsp; After finally mating with her, Vincent finally found the incentive he needed to truly make an honest attempt at proving his worth as leader of their small pack.<br><br>Vincent smiled warmly as she kissed him on the tip of his nose.&nbsp; It was an affectionate enough gesture to satisfy him until she finally warmed up to the idea of them being something more than just siblings.&nbsp; "Sounds good to me sis, I've burned off a lot of energy and am starved."&nbsp; As she stood, he simply rolled on his back for a moment and looked up at her with his hands pillowed behind his head.&nbsp; His green hues traveled along the length of her body before pausing at the mess between her thighs.&nbsp; There was a prideful sense of accomplishment that shown in his eyes as he saw his cum seeping from her womanly depths and onto her thighs.&nbsp; A visual reminder of how his sister willingly took his seed as his mind envisioned it pooling in her womb.&nbsp; Perhaps it was the wolf in him that found the latter notion most appealing since it had no problems with procreating.&nbsp; That thought made him wonder if April was on any sort of birth control; surely she must be otherwise she would have said something by now.<br><br>Once his sister padded her way down the hall to her room, Vincent pulled himself to his feet and made a quick stop to the bathroom to wipe himself clean.&nbsp; With that chore done he made his way to his room, but along the way he caught a glimpse of April in nothing but her underwear.&nbsp; He paused a moment to admire her physique once more before taking her cue and putting on only a pair of boxers before returning to the kitchen.&nbsp; "So, what're we doing for lunch?"&nbsp; He asked, walking past his sister intent on getting a glass of water.&nbsp; One of his hands rested on her hip for a moment as she eased her aside so he could get some glassware down from the cabinet, though the touch might have lingered a moment or two longer than necessary.&nbsp; With the glassware in hand, he flashed her with a smile that clearly expressed how happy she made him.&nbsp; "Did you want me to get you some water or something else?"<br>

				April focused on making sandwiches as her brother went to wipe clean. Her own attempts to clean herself had been relatively useless. His seed was still oozing out of her and slowly soaking her panties once more. Still, at least it wasn't all over her thighs as before. She could deal with it at least being contained within the fabric of her cotton bikini panties. They weren't terribly sexy, but they curved around her ass and the gentle lace on the edges gave a definite touch of femininity.<br><br>As she worked at the sandwiches, her mind went to their act. She could almost still feel him inside of her, shooting his load and pulsing against her sensitive walls. It made her shudder a bit just thinking of it, reliving it. The moment was sombered however with the realization that she wasn't on any birth control. She had been broken up with her ex for awhile now, so it hadn't made sense to stay on the pill unnecessarily. She wasn't like other women who had to take the pill for other reasons like acne or irregular periods. No, she was fine with all that. Now it seemed to bite her in the butt. Her own brother had shot a large load deep inside of her and she knew that there was a risk she could now be pregnant. The liklihood was low though, given women only ovulated once a month. Her only hope was that this wasn't that once a month. Next time, they'd just have to be careful.<br><br>That sparked another sequence of thoughts. She admitted there would be a next time. April smiled a bit as Vincent then came back into the bedroom. His light touch made her turn to him a bit, her own loins yearning for more. But April kept her mouth closed. She knew better than to gush about how great it was the first time. The last thing she needed was to let her compliments get to Vincent and his ego. This was all new, so she was doing well just trying to figure out her own thoughts. Taking on Vincents perceptions of everything would just be another task.<br><br>"Well I'm just working on sandwiches. Nothing fancy," she said with a chuckle. "And I'd love some water." She knew he had made her good and sweaty and her body was well worn out. Still, as April looked to him, she couldn't hide the heat in her eyes, that bit of lust that resided most in her animal form, but clearly also in her human form. "You do see how complicated this all is now right?" April asked with a smile, not really knowing the answer. To her, he was now her brother, the only one left in her pack and the only blood she had left, her lover, a man who could please her like no other and who she was getting more and more excited about telling all of her fantasies and roomate by default, a man who would soon learn every annoying habit of hers and have to endure boring afternoons with her should they not find other things to do. <br><br>April moved over to the dining room table and slid his sandwich on a plate over to him, easing into the chair across from him. She let out a soft sigh before digging into her sandwich, knowing that she too had used a lot of energy. For all she knew too, they would be shifting in their wolf forms once more before the night was over. That thought both worried and excited her. Though among all her thoughts, she was not worrying about their parents death or the possible killer(s) looming around the woods. It made her feel good to have her brother here, and as complicated as things had become, happy to have him as close as she did. He had been gone so long. Now that he was showing her all the love that he could, it brought her something she never felt with anyone.

				<em>”You do see how complicated all this is now, right?”</em><br><br>Vincent had been putting ice in the glasses when she spoke, April’s words sending a feeling of nervousness through him. Was she already regretting what they had done? As he glanced over his shoulder at her, he was surprised to be met with a smile rather than a grimace. The expression was infectious causing one of his own to spread across his lips, relieved that she seemed to be stating an observation rather than lament. “I wouldn’t call it a complication.” Vincent replied as he began filling the glasses with water. “More like an exciting new dynamic to our relationship, but I see where you’re coming from.” It was true that by taking that leap, they were now venturing into unfamiliar territory where the line between sibling and significant other blurred. If it was even present at all. There would be no going back, not that he had any desire whatsoever <em>to</em> go back.<br><br>He made his way to the table with their glasses just as April was finishing the sandwiches. Vincent ate ravenously after graciously accepting the meal from his sister; the energy spent shifting, playing, and mating left him famished as well as happier than he had been in a long time. It would be easy to see just how uplifted he was, practically radiating his joyful mood despite the world shattering news he was told this morning. That was the past, April was the present and hopefully the future. There would surely come a time where they would look deeper into their parents’ deaths and possibly get their retribution, but for now he wanted to focus on what was before him. Both literally and figuratively. A stray lock of long black hair slipped free from his ear and draped across his face as he ate. In reaction, one of his hands reached to his face to brush the rogue strands aside before pausing halfway when his green hues met the similar set of his sister’s.<br><br>A toothy smile spread across his lips entirely on its own accord, unable to hide his love from her when looking directly in her eyes. He couldn’t help it, just knowing she was there brightened his day. After a long moment, Vincent finally broke the intimate glance bashfully before she could, which was typical since she was the alpha. There was the slightest blush to his cheeks as his hand finished the task. His mind instantly wandered to what they had just done and felt the desire to do so again, this time in his human form. “So what’s the plan for after lunch? More wolfing around or are we going to find another way to spend the afternoon?” There was no particular inflection to those questions that suggested to what he had hoped he would say, but he knew that he would be happy with any activity they decided upon.

				April sat down to eat her sandwich. Her own thoughts were still racing, trying to make sense of what she was mixed up in. While part of her still fought the whole thing, another part of her was feeling more and more relieved. She had someone to love her again, someone to take care of her and give her the sense of family she had lost. She knew Vincent would never hurt her like her ex had and needed their closeness as much, if not more, than she did. Their parents were gone and he was her pack now, but more than that, he was her brother and was back to stay. <br><br>She took a bite and glanced up to him, watching as his eyes flicked to hers. He smiled and she wondered what was so funny, but she smiled in return even though she didn't know. He did seem happier, more at peace and at home. April had to remind herself that it was likely because of her that he was now so happy. It struck her that he might not only love her, but be in love with her. Once again, her doubts and worries reared their heads, but April couldn't let them win. Wasn't he right? Wasn't this all a good thing, that they were bonding in a way that both had always wanted? Wasn't it going to be nice to have someone who fully understood her? But she couldn't call him her mate yet. He was still her brother, however complicated that term had become for them.<br><br>He lowered his gaze and April lowered hers, taking another bite of her sandwich as she went back into thought. A contented sigh escaped her lips. The sandwich tasted delicious. Even though he had done all the fucking, she found herself worn out from the powerful orgasms he had given her. She couldn't remember the last time a man had made her climax so hard, had made her scream. Even with all her concerns, she couldn't help but wonder what else her brother could do to her, could show her. It occurred to her that she might actually reveal all of her fantasies to him, all of her curiousities in an attempt to have them fulfilled. Would he oblige? What were his fantasies? April wanted to know, but now wasn't the time. Even thinking about it all made her body start to ache again in that oh so familiar way.<br><br>"What did I have planned for the afternoon," she said thoughtfully. A smirk spread across her face. "I had planned on staying in our wolf forms all day and relaxing around the house." April left it at that, not wanting to sound like she was blaming him, but wanting to jab at him some for what he had initiated and how it messed up her plans. "I'm still open to taking a nap, though I'd like to wait to shift again until this evening. It also occurs to me that it might be nice to just talk, about old times you know?" April was still mourning, despite everything else and since her brother had gotten there, everything just seemed to get more difficult. For awhile, she wondered if they could just talk and share things like she felt she needed. Her brother had been gone so long, even though he had mated her, she still felt like she didn't fully know him. April took another few bites of her sandwich, polishing it off as they discussed their afternoon plans.

				Vincent could only smirk when his sister all but insinuated he had thrown a wrench in the original plans for how they were going to spend the day. He wasn’t the least bit ashamed or resentful of his decision and would love to do it again. “A nap does sound nice. What do you say we bust out the inflatable air mattress and lay it out in the living room like when we had our little slumber parties? The airflow is nice out here in the open and the sun’s warmth is already making me feel a little dozy.” He was genuinely looking forward to lounging and chatting with April as they snoozed the afternoon away. Or would it qualify as pillow talk now? Would she be interested in spooning with him as they had last night? So many questions ran through his mind, but his pensive expression was one of a keen fondness for his sister and the excitement that came with the notion of spending another full day with her. Especially having an opportunity to chat more and make up for lost time.<br><br>It wasn’t long before he finished off his own sandwich and chased it down with his water. Vincent stood from his chair and lifted his arms high overhead with fingers interlaced as he stretched his muscles. He was still feeling the lingering effects of la petite mort, his mind and body ready from some rest and relaxation after his recent release. “So what do you say, shall I go ahead and grab the mattress? Is it still in its usual spot?”

				April finished her meal, pondering what he had asked. Taking the air matress seemed nice. They hadn't used it in a long while. The last time she remembered using it was for her 21st birthday when her parents had let her use the cabin to celebrate with all of her friends. The living room was nice for a nap though, she figured. The sun streamed in from the windows and even not in her wolf form, she felt much like her brother did, ready to sleep. The shift took a lot of energy out of her, even if she hadn't been the one fucking per se. <br><br>"Yeah sure, sounds good," she finally said as he asked her again. April took the plates and offered to clean up, stealing a few cookies that she had set out from earlier while he was away. It's not like they weren't there for him to take as well, but eating them in secret made it fun and made them taste all that more delicious she thought. He came back with the mattress and she had just poured herself a glass of milk. April padded softly to the living room, her hips swaying lightly, unobstructed from view by pants and barely by the panties that she wore. <br><br>She took a seat on the couch for a time, letting him fill up their mattress. She didn't say anything though, just enjoying the warmth at her back and the quiet of the afternoon. There was still a lot to ponder, certainly, but April found that she more and more just wanted to reconnect with her brother as her brother, not as a lover right now. But she did have to remind herself that that was what they were. It would be a lie to say she didn't want to have sex with him again. Hell, as she sat and watched him fill up the mattress, his chest barred in an almost animal way in and of itself, she couldn't help but feel that familiar twinge in her loins. <br><br>He had fucked her so good and she still could feel that her pussy was wet, both with his juices and hers. How could he please her, how would he please her? were just a few questions that rushed through her mind. She could feel herself start to get needy, wanting more of what she had just had a taste of. Could he really be the sexual partner she had always wanted? But April pushed those thoughts aside as she set down her milk and got ready to settle into bed with him. She really did want to just talk, she reminded herself. <br><br>"I don't really know what to ask though," she said softly, chuckling a bit as she realized there was so much to know about her brother that she didn't know what to say. "I guess we could just talk about the old days. Like, I remember my first day of high school. You weren't too happy about me going to your school, but I was aware of you keeping your eye on me on the bus ride and in between classes." April smiled to herself, remembering that while they didn't get along, she had always looked for her brothers love wherever she could.

				Once he had finished inflating the mattress, Vincent lowered himself into it next to his sister.&nbsp; Understanding April’s intentions of having a genuine moment as siblings rather than lovers, he managed to position himself just within her personal space.&nbsp; It would give a sense of intimacy from his proximity, but without crowding her or insinuating this was just a ploy to get her in bed.&nbsp; So he lay there with one arm pillowed beneath his head while he looked up at the ceiling with a smile on his lips as he listened to his sister struggle to find a place to continue reminiscing and catching up.<br><br>He too chuckled at his immature behavior when she attended the same school as him for the first time since elementary.&nbsp; “Of course I was keeping an eye on you.&nbsp; After all, I’m the only one that is allowed to pick on my younger sister.”&nbsp; As he said this, his free hand reached out and slugged her lightly on the shoulder in an obviously playful gesture.&nbsp; “Was it really that obvious?”&nbsp; Vincent pondered and his smile transitioned to a grimace for an instant.&nbsp; “I guess I wasn’t subtle about… well anything during that time of my life, was I?”&nbsp; In a flash he recalled more than a dozen examples of when he had qualified for the title of worst brother in the world.&nbsp; A handful among countless other regrets that loomed in the back of his mind like a specter who would never let him forget the errors of his past.&nbsp; Especially now that his stubborn ways had cost him the last several years of his parents’ lives and all the cherished memories that could have been.<br><br>Vincent shook his mind free from that line of thought, not wanting to let himself fall into a somber mindset that would cost him even more potential cherished memories with his sister.&nbsp; “I suppose it was also no mystery with how much more intently I was keeping an eye on your boyfriends or boys who shown a particular interest in you either, huh?”&nbsp; Another memory ran through his mind, recalling an instance where he thought himself of a brother worthy the title.&nbsp; When he caught April’s freshman year sweetheart kissing another girl and gave him a thorough lesson on how being unfaithful could be hazardous to one’s well-being.&nbsp; “I guess it was a rather conflicting way to show how much I cared for you, and admittedly petty of how envious I was with the general ease of how everything came to you.&nbsp; Friends, grades, recognition.&nbsp; It seemed like you had it all back in the day and I couldn’t help but feel like I was living in your shadow.”&nbsp; Vincent turned his head to face April, hoping to catch her gaze.&nbsp; “And yet, despite the various selfish emotions I felt in my adolescent angst, I have always been proud to call you my sister.”

				He lay close to her. She could feel his warmth resting just a bit out of reach of her own flesh. It was nice though, not invasive but comforting none the less. She let herself smile some as they talked, relishing the moment that she never recalled them having much before. A soft chuckle escaped her lips as he commented on his lack of subtlety in his youth. It was true. He hadn't kept much hidden from anyone those years. If he felt it, he told you about it. It was why they had fought as much as they did, it was why she always felt he hadn't loved her.<br><br>As he continued, her smile faltered a bit. She remembered how he was so protective of her. It hadn't made as much sense to her then as it did now. April had never told him anything about it, not being the assertive one of the family at the time. Still, she silently wondered why he bothered to do such things when he'd turn right around and give her herself a hard time. It seemed like he was just looking for a fight. But that was not why, she knew that now. He was her brother and wanted to protect her despite their differences.<br><br>He continued and she let out a soft sigh. He wasn't wrong. April knew that things had come easy to her and it was thus, easy for their parents to show her affection more than her brother perhaps. It was biology through and through. She was a girl, socially thought to be taken care of and doted upon. Boys were supposed to be toughened, raised to take care of the women that would be in their life. April nodded some. "I always tried really hard though," was all she could think to say, knowing that while things were easy, she felt like it was a fight at times. Still, her cheeks were a bit flushed as she thought of her brother being envious of her. It had never occurred to her that her athletic rough and tumble brother could be envious of her, a then quiet and bookwormish young girl.<br><br>April turned her head to face him, feeling him move to do the same to her. She offered him a gentle smile at his comment. It was the first time she remembered him saying something like that. It was nice. In the same breath however, it reminded her of how complicated their sibling relationship had become. Her smile faltered just a bit, but April regained it and touched his cheek lightly. "You are your own man. I don't want you ever feeling like your in my shadow again," she said sternly, but with a smile. She meant it, but was also glad for the playful jab to change the mood up some. <br><br>Her form relaxed once more and she occupied their time with further conversation of their childhood, times that they had played at the cabin, the night runs, how they had each felt as they developed their wolf forms. It was an odd time for both of them for sure. Trying to go through puberty was bad enough, but keeping such a secret and trying to adjust to the animal body at such a hormonal time was just as hard. While they had their animal form from a young age, running around as pups, it was different, more carefree. Adolescence brought social stigmas and paranoia like no other life stage. April knew that it was part of the reason she became so introverted, and likely why he became the polar opposite.
