stop him.
 No! Don t tell me. I don t want to know, I said, emphatically.
Josh chuckled.

 So I can t infect you with HIV? No way? I asked.
 No way, he said.  We re not sure why. We tend to think that becoming a werewolf is
perhaps caused by some kind of virus which science has never detected. Whatever it is, it
gives us immunity from just about anything. It also gives us incredible strength and the
power to heal very, very quickly -- except from one wound. We can be killed by silver.
Silver reacts with whatever it is inside of us and can kill us. So the old story about  silver
bullets is true.
 Well, at least you won t die of AIDS.
I was at least grateful that I hadn t brought death to the man& uhh& wolf& uhh& man
that I loved, but that still meant that I was infected.
 And I don t think that you have to either, Josh said, softly.
 What do you mean?
 Babe, if I bite you, if I bring you over and make you  were as well, then I think that it
might destroy the HIV in your body and you won t be infected any longer. Just the same as it
protects me from getting infected. I m not sure, but it seems to make sense. At least, I think it
does.
 If you WHAT? I yelped.
 If I make you a werewolf, it could cure your HIV, Josh said, slowly and distinctly like
he was talking to a five-year-old.
 You ve got to be kidding!
 No, babe. I ve never been more serious in my life. I had always planned on offering
this to you. But now, there s a very good reason for you to accept, he said seriously.
 You want me to let you bite me so that I can turn into a wolf and that will cure my
HIV? I asked, skeptically.
 That s right. I m not completely sure, but I think it will. But not a wolf. A werewolf.
Werewolves are evidently quite precise about terminology.
 Oh, and then a vampire can bite my neck and I ll never die at all.
 Well& actually, no. A werewolf cannot be turned into a vampire -- or the other way
around. You re either one or the other because werewolves are alive but vamps are dead. Oh,
they seem like they re alive, but they aren t, Josh explained all this very calmly.
 I m going to wake up any minute and this is going to be the craziest, most hellish
nightmare I ve ever had!
 No, babe. Sorry. This isn t a dream. I really am. You want to see me change again?
 No! Once is enough for now, I said, though for the life of me, I couldn t figure out
why. After all, I did love that wolf.
 The only drawback to being a werewolf is that you have to change during a full moon.
You can do it other times at will, but during the moon cycle, you have to. But, trust me. It s

fun. Running through the woods, hunting. It s a blast! And wait until you experience
mating!
 Wait a minute! Hunting? Like in killing things and eating them?
 Uhh& yeah.
 Yecch! I responded.
 Trust me, it doesn t seem that way while you re changed, he groused, seemingly
somewhat offended by my reaction.
 And let me get this straight, you want to have sex while we re wolves? Isn t that
bestiality, for God s sake?
 Well& actually, no. If we had sex while I was a wolf and you weren t -- that would be
bestiality. When we re both wolves, that s just& well& we call it  wolfie-sex.  He grinned
rather leeringly at me.  Trust me, it s totally hot.
 Oh, God! This is just WAY too much information, Josh. I don t know how much more
I can handle in one day.
He put his arms around me and drew me close to him.
 I m sorry, babe. I guess this is a lot to handle all at once. It s just that I m so happy that
I can finally share this with you. You don t know how hard it s been not to tell you. I didn t
want to lie to you but I didn t know if you could handle it.
 I still don t know if I can handle it.
 Do you not love me now that you know? he asked, and I could hear hurt in his voice.
 Of course I love you! You still love me even though I m infected with HIV, don t
you?
 I still love you. Babe, I could never stop loving you, he insisted.
 Does& does& your mother know you re a wolf?
 Uhh& no. I didn t think that she really needed to know.
 No, bet me on that! She does NOT need to know.
Josh chuckled at this.
 So, what do you want to do now? he asked quietly as he leaned down and gently
licked my neck.
I groaned.
 Well& considering what you ve told me, that if you make love to me I can t infect
you& 
 My thoughts exactly.
 Uhh& you are going to do this as a guy, right? Not as a wolf?
 Of course I m going to do it as a guy. At this Josh laughed.  I won t have  wolfie-sex
unless we re both in fur.
76 Bobby Michaels
 Okay. Just remember that! I m going to hold you to it.
 So what do you think about becoming were?
 I think we should go upstairs and fuck. I ll think about growing fur later.
And, with that, he picked me up in his arms and carried me up the stairs. He made love
to me three times. I was actually less impressed by this knowing now where he got all that
strength. However, he kept his promise and didn t grow fur.
At least that was something.

Chapter Ten
I woke up very early the next morning, and turned over in bed. My head hit Josh s
pillow and I was suddenly breathing in his scent. I groaned at it. I loved the scent of my
lover. It was like some incredible perfume to me, but more arousing than anything that ever
came out of a perfume company.
I could have lain like that for hours, but then I remembered the events of yesterday.
My mind was spinning. How was I going to deal with all of this? Being HIV positive? Having
a lover who evidently could grow fur anytime he wanted to? And add to it that Josh wanted
to  bite me and make me a werewolf, too, claiming it might cure me of HIV. [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
