Wolfed
Tanith Lee
Under the glittering cliffs of skyscrapers, in the tangled light wood
of neon, concrete, glass, and steel that calls itself New York City, he
strayed from the path, and went into a little bar. He was twenty-six
years old, six foot four in height, and he weighed around one
hundred and seventy-two pounds. He had the kind of face
sometimes seen on celluloid, but once, that very year he thought he
might make it as an actor, the middle-aged woman in the casting
office had said to him, "Oh, honey. You're just too good-looking.
That blond hair and those black eyes—be warned. You'll have a bad
time here." She then suggested something else. And when he did
that, she was very generous, both with her surprisingly pretty body,
and with the wad of bills he found later in his car. It was this that
started him on his present career, the one he should have been
pursuing right now, since he was down to his last twenty. So maybe
the bar was a fine idea… or not. Really, it was the girl. She was the
reason he came in. And she was not the sort of girl to be of any use.
Because she wouldn't need him, not at all.
As he sat down on the chromium stool at her side, practiced, he took
her in, through the low, cave-dim light. But practice had not
prepared him. He liked women a lot. Their voices, their bodies—oh,
yes, those—their clothes and how they wore them. Their cosmetics
even, jewelry, lingerie—everything about them. And this one—

She had a burnished hood of claret-red hair, matched neatly by her
velvet gown, which being tight, backless, and nearly frontless, gave
him an exquisite view of several rich curves, and a faultless pearl
cream skin.
Then, imagine a deer in the wood who is truly a wicked—but
beautiful—witch in disguise. That was her face. She had no makeup
but for the black kohl around her eyes and on her lashes, that looked
real and a full inch long, and the ripe scarlet on her full, smooth lips.
No jewelry, good or cheap, on her slim arms, at her long, delicious
neck, or in the lobes of her alabaster ears. However, where her
shorter-than-short skirt rode up, just above the black lace of her
long-legged stocking-tops, he noted a garter with a golden rose.
And five years of having to do with gold, though seldom in the way
of ownership, suggested the golden rose, like her lashes, was quite
real.
He did not speak, but he saw from his vision's corner, that she had
turned to frankly study him. Perhaps she liked the look of him. Most
women did. Suddenly she laughed, a great laugh, appealing, not too
loud, not ugly, and not irritatingly coy. Lashes, gold, laugh—all
genuine?
He turned, too, and gazed at her full on.
Oh, yes.
Her teeth were white, and her eyes the shade of green found in Han
jade. She smelled faintly, warmly, of some smoky flower, perhaps
not of the earth. Was that the catch—she was an X-Files alien?
"Thank you for laughing at me."

"I'm sorry."
"No, I liked it."
"Why?"
"It means I've amused you. And I didn't even have to tell a joke."
She smiled now, and raising her glass—of some green cocktail less
convincing that her Han-green eyes—she said "I laughed because
you're so handsome."
"Oh, I see."
"Do you?"
"Well… maybe. Shall I do it at you?"
"If you want."
The few other customers were far off along the room, but now a
waiter was floating down the bar counter, and the girl signaled, and
he floated right over.
He knew now she would buy him a big drink, and she did, and
when it had been served on its little white paper coaster, she said to
him, "Will you tell me your name?"
"Sure. It's Wolfgang. But you'll believe I prefer to be called Wolf."
"So we don't gang up on you," she said.
"Yeah, that's it. And I guess they call you Red," he added, guessing
that he doubted that.
"Rose." she answered.
She leaned a fraction toward him, and the white fruits of her breasts
moved gently in the red velvet, just enough that he understood she
had on no brassiere, and probably no underclothes at all, apart from
