Countless.
My monster was a warrior. The kind that fought battles and protected those that he cared about, and that often did not include my kind.
And yet…here I was.
Offering myself to him.
This forest ran through the boundaries of Bitu, and he was one of the guardians. His entire life was dedicated to keeping humans from crossing over into the other world. He kept problems from arising, a shepherd guiding the flock. For thousands of years, it had been this way.
Monsters and humans were not supposed to mix, but neither of us could stop ourselves. I was drawn to him like a moth to a flame. My heart craved him, my soul yearning for his touch.
“Eire,” he said, his voice a low growl.
The way he spoke my name sent a shiver through me.
His massive hand reached down, and he cupped my face, forcing me to look at him. His claws pressed lightly against my skin, and my eyes widened as I met his golden gaze.
I knelt in front of him, the beast of the forest. He was a king amongst creatures. But when he looked at me, gone was the fierce killer my people knew. Instead, I was faced with softness. With pride.
“You honor me, lass,” he whispered reverently.
He leaned down, and I opened my mouth, eagerly taking his kiss. I wound my arms around his thick neck, gripping his fur.
He drew back with a soft growl. “Are you certain, Eire? I don’t want to hurt you.”
“You could never,” I answered immediately. “I want this. I want to be yours.”
He studied me for a few moments, and I knew he was thinking.
This was a risk to both of us, but I knew he would keep us protected. I wasn’t too bad in a fight myself, with humans at least. But monsters? Well, there were very few of us humans that could truly fight them.
I would never forget the first time I saw him. I had been running through the forest, playing hide and seek with some of the children from the village. I helped keep watch over them, as I had none of my own yet.
I had always warned them to not go too deep. We had lost many others that way.
But then I had. I’d lost myself in the trees, in the verdant darkness. I had run until the light in the sky had faded and howls erupted around me. I should have died at the vicious mouths of wolves, but I didn’t.
No.
He had protected me. Found me, kept me, and then returned me safely home.
“You have to promise me that if anything I do makes you want to stop, you tell me, Eire. I need this promise from you,” he said, combing his claws through my hair.
I moaned, closing my eyes for a moment. His claws combing through my hair brought me a sort of tender pleasure I’d never felt before. Every touch from him felt like heaven and home. “I will tell you. I want you, monster. Please.”
He knelt down in front of me, his massive body looming in front of me. “Are you certain?”
“Yes,” I said, this time stronger.
He nodded and then pulled the furred shaw from my shoulders, tossing it aside. “I will keep you warm, my love,” he said, leaning in.
I moved so that he could lift the dress up, and I blushed as he pulled it free. I was now completely naked in front of him, my body exposed. A brisk wind picked up and I shivered in the darkness, the cold making goose bumps appear on my skin and hardening my nipples.
He let out a low rumble, humming.
“You are beyond beautiful,” he said.
He gently dragged his claws over my skin before cupping my breasts in his warm palms. I gasped as a sharp sensation passed through me, crying out at his surprising touch.
