“Um, yeah, kind of.” I lie. I’m starving.
He goes out into the jungle for a moment. As soon as he leaves the edge of the fire, he disappears into the blackness.
Suddenly, he reappears with some giant fruit. Or, I assume it’s fruit.
“Here.” He hands me one. “Just pull the skin off, and you can eat it.”
He pulls the skin off of his and bites down into the flesh. I can see juices dripping down the sides of his mouth. I try to get the skin, but my nails are ineffective.
“Do you mind?” I ask, handing him the fruit. He thinks for a second, then hands me his. There’s a big bite mark out of it, but for whatever reason, I don’t care.
We eat together in silence. Once we’re finished, we sit next to each other, staring at the fire.
I lean in and rest my head on his shoulder. After a few moments, he gets the message and puts his arm around me. His hand brushes against my breast, but I don’t recoil. It actually feels nice.
Sitting in the dark with him like this, there’s something clandestine to the moment. I feel lured into it as he hands me a leaf lush with dew and slushes it down my throat with the tip of his knife. I can feel my pulse rising with every shift of his body.
The fire I felt before only builds inside me. With no prying eyes around, I’m motivated for more. If he touches me, really touches me, I wouldn’t stop him and whatever he wanted to do.
Hell. I’m all in.
CHAPTER 6
GARET
She's my fated mate.
Wild as it sounds, this tiny blonde human I found in the woods is my mate. Chosen by Fate. Ordained by destiny. The thought momentarily angers me and then I accept it. I can't worry about it now. Trial be damned.
She's injured and as confused as I am over the entire thing, I can't help but want to touch her. Now that I've built a campfire and we're safe under the cover of the trees, the cool night air doesn't seem so daunting.
I pull her close to me, feeling her warmth radiating through our clothes as I wrap my arms around her and let her rest her head on my chest. She immediately snuggles into the embrace, a contented sigh escaping her lips before I capture them with my own, tentative at first but soon growing bolder.
We stay like that for a while, just cuddling and getting used to each other's presence. I can feel her heart beating fast against mine and smell the scent of fear on her mixed with something else... excitement? It's intoxicating.
Her chest rises and falls with every breath and I can hear a faint whimper whenever the wind blows too harshly throughthe trees. Her eyes dig into mine, inviting me to dive into the unknown and place my hands on her soft, human skin. My scales flex hot, ready to devour her. But like any fine dessert, she should be savored.
Tania's skin is soft against mine, like velvet beneath my fingers. She shivers occasionally but not from cold; it's more like an aftershock from whatever just happened between us. I don’t know if she feels the connection as I do. I’m too focused on her soft flesh to ask.
I decide to try something risky - I start kissing down her neck slowly, planting small pecks along the way while nuzzling into her hair. She gasps lightly as if she didn't expect it but she doesn't pull away either.
My hands venture lower, tracing patterns on her sides while my lips move up towards her earlobe where I gently nibble on it. Her response is electric; she arches her back turning more into me. It feels so right holding this fragile beauty in my arms, the warmth of our bodies melding together under the starry sky.
My hands find their way to her waist to pull her closer still, never breaking contact with her soft skin. Her breath hitches as I continue my trail down her neck and collarbone until I reach the top button of her blouse.
With gentle fingers, I undo it and pop it open revealing smooth pale skin beneath. A wave of possessiveness washes over me at the sight of her neck. Smooth and creamy and utterly delectable.
I start kissing her throat, peppering it with soft kisses as Tania moans softly, encouraging me not to stop. My hand moves up to cup one perfect breast through her bra before slowly unclasping it, releasing the confines holding her in place.
Her breasts spill out into my palm, heavy and full. I can't help but sigh inwardly at how perfect they feel against me.She shudders again as my thumb teases a nipple, hardening it further under my touch.
Tania leans back slightly giving me better access which I take full advantage of, licking along her jawline before capturing her lips once more in another deep searing kiss. My other hand trails lower, finding the buttons on her pants and pushing them down, revealing creamy thighs beneath.
She lets out another gasp but doesn't push me away. We continue like this for what feels like an eternity – our bodies swaying together in rhythm with desire and need as nature provides a soft backdrop for our newly found passion.
When I finally pull away from her lips, panting slightly, we gaze into each other's eyes; hers filled with a mix of confusion and desire while mine are smoldering hot with want.
“Tania...” I whisper her name like a prayer as my fingers brush against her core through her panties making her gasp again. We're both trembling now, lost in the moment that neither one of us fully understands but can't resist.
