03.2023 | WELCOME BACK! Hello friends old and new! I'm so excited to welcome you all back to SITW! I've made some changes to the plot and added the ability to play supernatural charcaters! So come and check it out! I can't wait to jump back into this little town with all of you!
A strange history surrounds the town, it is a place where mysterious and supernatural things have been known to happen. The reputation of the town reguarly draws in visitors and newcomers alike. While some residents avidly believe in the supernatural, others are far more skeptical. What do you believe?
Looking Bex over, Darcy hadn’t even noticed the straw prior to it being pointed out. She chuckled a little and took a sip from her canteen and grinned. “Those are so clever, I keep telling myself I really should invest in a pack with one, but just haven’t made that step yet.” She took another sip and then tucked her canteen back in her bag and took another look around. The weather was perfect for this hike, and she was thankful for the time to actually be outside in nature. Sure she worked in the forest, but there was a difference in hiking for work, or for pleasure. Not to mention how absolutely alive she felt being in nature with Bex so near to her. Her scent was intoxicating, and it took all her self control to focus on the task at hand. Heightened sense of smell was fun, but also could be a little overwhelming when around someone or something you enjoyed.
“Mmmm, that’s definitely good to know.” Darcy gave a coy smile, ever so slightly biting the bottom of her lip as she found herself checking Bex out yet again. How this woman completely shook her normal level of confidence was absolutely baffling, but Darcy still managed to play it cool. At least she wasn’t blushing like a lovesick school girl. Not at the moment, at least. “Based on the animal tracks I’ve seen so far, we don’t seem to be in any direct paths with the wildlife that’s been through here, but we still need to be vigilant, I would feel awful if I got you hurt hiking in the woods.”
Flirting with Darcy was just so much fun, she was so receptive to it that it made Bex just want to do it more and more. She looked around a bit at the mention of animal tracks. Bex hadn't seen any at all, which only proved to show that Darcy definitely knew what she was doing far more than Bex did. She stepped closer to Darcy, their heights almost matched but Darcy was barely taller.
She slipped her hand back into Darcy's and leaned forward to whisper in her ear. "Don't worry," she purred, "I trust you to keep me safe," she said as she squeezed Darcy's hand softly, her thumb lightly gliding along the back Darcy's hand.
Darcy was extremely aware of every scent in the area, but still found herself more focused on Bex than anything else. It had been a long time since she had enjoyed someone’s company the way she enjoyed Bex’s. She even managed to fight off any blush when Bex walked up to her and took her hand again, but the whispering in her ear got a little heat to her cheeks and she gave a playful smile. “Oh, absolutely.” to say she liked the feeling of Bex’s hand in hers, was an understatement. Not only was her wolf nature a bit protective of her, but she was growing a bit territorial. She felt this deep seated desire to keep her safe. She returned the squeeze of her hand and then gave a playful wink as she started leading them a bit further up a slight incline.
They were nearing a section where several large rock formations protruded from the ground, giving an almost ‘cliff’ like appearance as the terrain was too rocky for the trees to continue up on this side. “Normally this area is off limits to civilians because it’s a bit dangerous, and kids act wild when they get together. But as a forest ranger, I’ve got keys to the ‘off limit’ areas.” Darcy threw a glance over her shoulder to Bex as she helped guide her around the base of the rock formation and along a 8ft tall chain link fence, stopping once she reached the gate and pulled a decent size key ring from her pack and let go of her hand to thumb through the keys until she found the one to the lock. She made quick work of undoing the lock and getting them access to the interior of the fence. Once through, she shut the gate and replaced the lock. “You’re about to see one of my favorite sites in the area.” Darcy’s voice was a bit softer this time, and she took Bex’s hand again and gave it a light squeeze. She hadn’t ever brought anyone else to this point, it was normally her private place to visit on her own. But she was excited to share this part of herself and the forest with Bex.
Bex was absolutely the kind of person who got a thrill out of going to places or doing things that were 'off limits'. "So naughty," she said with a playfully flirty smile. Though she knew she wouldn't get in trouble for going into this area with Darcy, she still got that spark of a thrill as they stepped through the gate. Her habit of listening to true crime stories definitely had her thinking about how easy it would be for Darcy to off her now that they were in such a restricted area but as Darcy took her hand again and spoke in that soft tone, any of those thoughts drifted away.
"I can't wait to see it," she said, her voice nearly tender as she continued to follow Darcy's guidance through the forest. "You certainly know how to increase the suspense."
Darcy grinned at Bex’s comment and couldn’t help but feel a bit more excited. When she was a reckless teenager, she lived for trespassing and just general teenage shenanigans. But as pack Alpha, she generally did her best to set a good example for the younger pups. Though she drew the line at giving up her drinking. She was a leader, not a saint. And right now, she was having a lovely time showing her date her favorite spots in the forest.
“oh believe me, it’s absolutely worth it.” She cast a look back with a wink as she guided Bex up the incline. They stepped around a few precariously positioned rocks before Darcy paused and pulled Bex to stand in front of her. “Do you trust me?” She asked with a raised brow, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

They continued along their path until suddenly Darcy was pulling her in front of her. She grinned, enjoying the control the other woman had in this situation. Did she trust Darcy? Well that was a loaded question but for the sake of this particular topic, "I trust you," she replied with a curious smile. Where were they and what was Darcy about to do that required trust?
“It’s so much better if you see it for the first time like this, I promise.” As she spoke, Darcy moved to step behind Bex and gently moved to cover her eyes with her hands. She leaned forward to whisper in her ear. “You’re going to take three steps forward, and you’ll feel a bit of foliage, then take two steps through it and turn slightly to the right… I’ll be right here with you.” Darcy ignored just how intoxicating Bex smelled as she was closer to her once again, and every fiber of her being begged her to simply bask in her scent.
Bex smiled as Darcy moved behind her and covered her eyes. Well this was quite the surprise wasn't it? What kind of sight awaited her? Goosebumps rose along her skin at Darcy's whispered words, feeling her warm breath against her ear and neck that made her want to lean into her and just melt. Instead she nodded and moved to place one hand over top of Darcy's covering her eyes, and the other to blindly reach out in front of her so when she felt that foliage it would be with her hands instead of her face.
Stepping slowly and as carefully as she could, she followed the woman's directions. Five steps forward, the last two through some kind of plant, and a slight turn. "Here?" she asked, her fingers trailing from the back of Darcy's hand and along her arm, grazing lightly with her fingertips.
Darcy followed behind Bex, stepping carefully as not to hinder her progress forward. She smiled at her touch of her hand and not her bottom lip as she spoke and let her fingers gently graze her arm. Did she realize just how absolutely wild her touching her drove her? Darcy smiled knowing she’d have to let her go and lose her proximity, but also excited to show her this view.
“Yes, perfect. Now, check this out.” she ever so gently removed her hands from covering Bex’s eyes, and moved to stand beside her as she took in the view herself. While there majority of the view was a stunning site of rolling hills, tree tops and mountain, off to the side you got the most picture perfect view of the town of Sweetwater. It looked like one of those fake sets made for a movie or tv show. Darcy loved seeing the town from this viewpoint, it made it seem so small and fragile against the wild woodland around it. “This is my favorite way to view the town.”
Bex truly hadn't expected the sight before her. There truly couldn't be a better time of year to view it either, with all the bright colors of fall flooding the mountainside. It reminded her almost of fire but she pushed that thought away when she remembered how many fires there had been lately. She let out an exhale to express the awe that she felt in that moment. "Did you ever watch Gilmore Girls?" she asked with a little grin. "Seeing Sweetwater like this makes me think of Stars Hollow." She chuckled a little as she admired it for another moment.
Yet the pull of her companion was far more intriguing than even the most wonderous views. "I have to admit though," she said, turning her head to look fully at Darcy rather than the town. "As stunning as that view is, it doesn't hold a light to the one in front of me now." She gave Darcy a little wink and reached to her side to take the woman's hand.
Darcy loved seeing Bex’s reaction to the view, sparking a desire in her to see as many different reactions and looks of her face as she possibly could. Although she’d never admit it, because that just felt a bit intense. Though not as difficult as other things about herself. She was a little lost in thought when Bex mentioned the town from the show Gilmore Girls and she chuckled. Even as a teen she’d taken comfort in shows that made her feel like that was what ‘normal’ was. She looked back to the view and nodded.
“Ya know, I never made that connection until now. Great eye Bex.” Darcy beamed with a wink, but her smile turned a little softer and a slight blush crept into her cheeks at the attention being shifted to herself. Every fiber of her being screamed for her to kiss her, and when she felt the other woman take her hand, that was it. Darcy pulled Bex to her with the hand she just took, her free hand moving to gently sweep under her chin and she kissed her. Softly, and gently to start, but there was almost a sense of urgency in the way her lips crashed against Bex’s. She’d only been flirting with her for weeks, it was about damn time she made a move.
'Finally' was the first thought that came to mind as Darcy kissed her. She'd been imagining what her lips would feel like for weeks now and was excited they had finally got here. She released Darcy's hand, her hand moving to the woman's mid back as she pulled her closer. Her other hand moved into Darcy's hair, pulling her closer as she kissed her hungrily. Fuck she was so hot.
Her lips became pecks as she spoke, one word between each kiss. "I've. Been. Waiting. So. Long. To do. This," she said, her hands moving to grip Darcy's hips, pulling her against her body and wishing that she had something to press Darcy up against.
The way Bex not only returned her kiss, but pulled her closer and kissed her more made her heartbeat pick up as she moved a hand to ran down her back, grabbing a nice handful of her ass she squeezing it as she did. Darcy smiled between the pecks as Bex spoke and she couldn’t help but chuckle a little as she momentarily pulled away.
“Sorry it took me so long, you’re hot and I didn’t wanna just hit on you while you were working.” She admitted with a wink as she looked around and then smiled, pulling Bex with her back through the brush and closer the the rough mount side. She pulled moved to press her back against it as she gently pulled Bex toward her once again, her lips kissing up her chest and neck softly.
Bex bit her lip and chuckled. "But I like it when you hit on me at work. Sure better than when the old geezers do it," she joked. Then Darcy was moving again and Bex didn't even care where they were going. She was having too much fun with Darcy and was happy to be with her no matter where they were. They didn't go far though and Bex was immediately grateful for the location, as if Darcy had been able to read her mind.
She sighed as the woman kissed her skin, letting out a soft moan. "You better be careful or you'll soon be naked out here," she teased with a husky laugh. "I'm not exactly known for my self control."
“Well, I have a feeling me hitting on you around the old geezers wouldn’t help any, might make them even more cringeworthy.” She chuckled, shaking her head at the thought. But as she moved them, she couldn’t help but want to completely drink in her intoxicating scent. She kissed up her neck and gently raked her teeth as she pulled away to raise a brow.
“Is that so, I wouldn’t have pegged you for being so bold.” Darcy winked, if only Bex knew about her own control issues. She’d been naked plenty of times in these woods, though normally because she was changing to, or from being in her wolf form… or skinny dipping at the hot springs. “and what happens if I’m not afraid of being naked in the wild?” she teased with a raised brow, moving her hand to give a firm grasp of Bex’s ass.
