Summary: Renee gives Howlyn an ultimatum.

Author's Note: I wrote this because I just can't get over the scene or incident between Renee and Howlyn on the mothership at the end of "Pariahs". You notice how she really wasn't afraid of him. It looked like she feared something else to me. Just the fact he knew she was slightly aroused was like…ok. This is my take on how Renee thought about it in her head when she was off by herself. Italics indicate thinking in head not speaking out loud.

Pairing: Renee/Howlyn

Part I

Renee paced in her apartment. It was two o'clock in the morning and she couldn't sleep. Truth was she couldn't get that damned Atavas Howlyn out of her head. She ran her fingers through her hair and walked into the kitchen and opened the fridge to get a bottle of water. She grabbed the bottle and opened it and took a drink of it. After taking a swig she leaned against the wall and held the bottle against the side of her temple. "What the hell is wrong with me?" she asked herself.

It had only been a day or two since she had her confrontation with Howlyn on the mothership. She remembered how she felt when she was almost out and he caught her. She was scared like hell but at the same time welcomed him. Her mind screamed no but her body said yes. "I just hope I don't see Howlyn anytime soon, " she said quietly to herself. Renee pushed herself away from the wall and walked to her couch and sat down. She closed the bottle of water and placed it on the coffee table and sat back against the couch. I'm afraid of what I'll do if I do. I do find him attractive in an odd sort of way. The way he walks, talks…the way he looks at me like…hell even his touch is…electrifying. When he caught me I didn't notice him because I heard him. I noticed him because I felt him near. That's what scared me like hell. Not the fact that he caught me, but that I had some sort of connection with him. I felt my body heat up when he started to come after me. When he caught up to me and pulled me back down and against the wall I almost stopped breathing. I did for a moment, but decided I needed to. Having him close did arouse me. I was surprised when he put some distance between us. Then we circled each other like we were doing some kind of…foreplay or something. He has the most intense eyes. It must be an alien thing. Liam had intense eyes. I just stared him down like I was mad hoping that would be enough. I thought I was clear until he said he could smell my arousal from across the room. I think I actually blushed. I should have known his sense were keener than humans. I just came back with a snotty comment like how disgusted I was of him. He just laughed. What he said after that almost through me off. "Our bodies recognize each other even though our minds do not". He could've gone forever without saying that. Luckily though I kept myself together and got away from him. I don't think he really tried though. I think he likes the chase. No that I'm in the safety of my own home…I can just wonder…can I resist him forever…
