Isaac was waiting outside the restaurant, Piper's shift would be over soon and he didn't want to waste any time getting what he had planned started. He momentarily thought about her wanting to go home, shower and change before embarking on a romantic night out with him but honestly? She could be covered in sewer mud and he'd still find her the most attractive woman he's ever seen. Besides, what he had in mind wouldn't be too fancy - just a nice walk out on the town, no where in particular. Definitely not towards a secluded part of the city where a small band of violinists were waiting to play while they sat down for a candle light dinner he'd just finished making a short time ago.

The night's air was crisp, a slight chill that made his nose tickle. A gentle breeze picked up, carrying different scents along with it. One in particular caught him off guard...that - he couldn't be registering it correctly. It's definitely been a long time but-

"Oh, Wolfieeeeee!"

She must have snuck up on him, not an easy thing to accomplish and yet had actually happened quite a few times before. He spun around towards the direction of the voice, expecting to see her skipping over towards him from distance (his keen hearing picking up sounds much better than a human's), but to his surprise she had actually been closer than he realized. And he realized that because when he did actually finish his turn, her arms were already wrapping themselves around his neck, feet leaving the ground and she practically threw herself for him to catch her. Instinctively, he did.

"Lena?! How - What are you doing he-?!"

He was cut off as the petite brunette's lips crashed over his, a familiar taste bursting in his mouth.

From The Heart

"Piper-" his hand stops the door before it could be closed in his face, "Please! Please just listen to me! Five minutes! That's all I'm asking for!" He goes on to add that if she wasn't satisfied with his words that time, he'll leave and never see her again...if that's what she really wanted.

Standing behind him, Lena has her arms crossed and is watching, her gaze fixed on Piper. "You really should hear him out, doll," she says with an amused grin. "I've heard what he wants to say and boy, oh boy, will you ever want to hear it too." Isaac winces hearing the woman behind him, gritting his teeth in annoyance as Lena absolutely wasn't helping as much as she thought she was. Sure, she did force him to come here, encouraged him to bear his soul like he never has before but Piper already hated the both of them and he was worried that she was just making things worse.

The wolf's eyes meet back with Piper, a desperate look of pleading in those dark brown puppy-like hues.

Tonguing his cheek for a moment, he can't help but let out a gruff chuckle, lips curling in a wolfish smirk.

"Ma'am," his voice starts off smooth, but gradually darkens as a purr seeps into his next choice of words.

"You better behave now. We are in a public setting."

Reading his expression, the hungry look in his dark eyes, she'd know that he wouldn't hesitate to play this game with other's eyes around them. And if she could only read his mind? The things he would do?

His smirk pulled tighter.

He's taken nut shots before - punches, kicks, knees - of course, it doesn't get less painful each time it happens. Despite his enhanced physiology with his wolfish nature, nothing could prevent the air escaping from his lungs as that familiar throbbing of agony shot through his loins. Sure, he'd be back on his feet quicker than a normal human, but that still took time.

He doubled over, collapsing to his knees onto the ground, one hand grasping his aching package while the other kept himself braced upright. Eyes shut tight, a gasping groan rumbling in his throat, he could do nothing to stop Piper from leaving.

Heels clacked on pavement, Lena deciding to make her way over to the doubled over man once it seemed like his friend was out of sight. She stood with her arms crossed, a brow raised and an amused smirk pursed on her lips. "Well, that was interesting."

"Not now, Lena..." Isaac grumbled, slowly pushing himself back onto his feet, his groin still throbbing - not in the fun way. "I need to go after her." Lena grunted. "To get your balls crushed again? Think that's a good idea?" He turns, his eyes darkening irritably. That took Lena by surprise.

"That wouldn't have happened if you hadn't stuck your tongue down my throat!" His tone carried a slight growl. Lena scoffed, appearing to have been insulted by his declaration. "What the hell were you thinking, anyway?!" She replied, "Well, excuse me, you didn't seem to have a problem with it the last time we saw each other. How was I supposed to know you had yourself another piece?" Isaac's teeth clenched, trying to maintain his composure. She had a point, as much as he hated to admit it. He never did tell Piper about his past love life, and maybe he should have considering his history with Lena and that stupid pact they had made. But then again...

"You know what, I don't have time for this right now, I need to go see Piper - I need to fix this." He began to walk away, that lingering pain gradually wearing off but was still present enough to set his speed of pace. Of course, Lena followed him, he wasn't getting out of this so easily. She spoke to him along the way, though no response came from him. It was the moment he froze when she stated, "What did you expect me to think, it's not like you've ever cared enough about another girl to be in love or anything - you're not in love with her!" that it finally clicked in the brunette's mind, and it genuinely shocked her.

"Oh, my God..." Heterochromia hues widen as she looked stunned, seeing the look of silent admission. "You're in love with her? You're actually in LOVE with someone? You, who's always told me you'd never have anything serious with anybody - that you're a free spirit and would never be held down in your life?" He sighed heavily, his head falling. "I did think that...I meant that...but then I met her and..." Shoulders shrugged heavily, and the expression his face wore told Lena that he wasn't lying nor was this an exaggeration of sorts; he's truly changed his mind, his views, and opened his heart. Because of her. Strangely, Lena actually felt proud of him. "Have you told her yet? That you love her?" He sighed deeply. "I was going to - tonight." Lena grunted, almost non chalantly (it wasn't meant to be a dismissal, but it also wasn't an admission of guilt either) before grabbing him by the wrist and continuing their walk. When Isaac asked what she was doing, she simply replied that he'd have to lead her to where this Piper woman lived and to let Lena do the talking first. Isaac wasn't sure if that was a good idea, but he also knew that Lena was too stubborn to take 'no' for an answer.

In reality, the kiss only lasted for maybe a minute - but of course, that was one second too long. It was both broken by them just needing a breath as well as his heightened senses realizing that something wasn't right. The moment his lips left hers, it turned so fast that any normal person would be either writhing in pain from whiplash or collapsing from paralysis as bones crack. His eyes caught Piper just as she spun, her steps fast and heavy - angry.

"Aw, fuck!"

He all but shoved the woman in his arms away and started off towards her; even at a jog, he was fast - fast enough to catch up with her.

"Piper!" he calls out, completely expecting to be ignored. "Piper, wait!" The wolfman put himself in her path every chance he could, in the back of his mind knowing the possibility of a physical retaliation was high but he'd risk it.

"Piper, hang on - that wasn't what it looked liked!"

Ooh, bad thing to say, even though it was true - sort of.

Keeping a distance, the woman he called Lena followed behind - in just a few seconds of observation, she could guess the situation that was happening, and it interested her.
