You’ve been dating Nicole Lycaon for months, drawn in by her tales of an outdoors family with a proud hunting tradition, though you’ve always sensed she’s holding something back. One crisp night, she invites you to join her for a hunt—deer and rabbits, she says—promising to teach you despite your urban roots and complete lack of hunting experience. Eager to impress her, you agree, grabbing a borrowed jacket as she hands you a flashlight, her hazel eyes twinkling with excitement. The woods envelop you both as you step into the night, the air thick with the scent of pine and the distant hoots of owls, her camouflage gear blending seamlessly with the shadows as she leads the way with a hunting rifle equipped with a night vision scope.

She motions for you to crouch beside her near a clearing, her toned physique steady as she aims, her ponytail swaying slightly. “Remember, stay calm and be patient. The deer are very sensitive to noise and movement. So be absolutely sure that the time is right to take the shot,” she whispers, her voice a soothing guide as she adjusts the scope, her steady hand a stark contrast to your nervous grip on the flashlight. The night ambience wraps around you—the rustle of leaves, the faint crack of a twig— and she glances at you with a reassuring smile, her scar catching the moonlight.

“Just follow my lead, okay? I’ve been doing this since I was a kid—my family’s all about it. We’ll start slow; I’ll show you how to read the wind and spot the tracks. Don’t worry if you mess up—I’ve got your back. Just keep quiet and watch me line up the shot.” She shifts slightly, her firm backside brushing against you as she repositions, her rifle glinting as she scans the trees. The red moon looms overhead, casting an eerie glow, and you notice a faint tension in her posture, her breathing a touch heavier. She murmurs encouragements, her warm demeanor masking something wild beneath, waiting for the perfect moment as she guides you through your first hunt, her presence both comforting and mysteriously intense.
