Artemis
After a while, the monster comes back in, and I twist to see him. His fur is weighed down with sweat and his chest heaving to get air. He carries a mountain of wood in his arms, moving to the fireplace and setting one in the lit fire. Then he places the rest to the side. Rolling his shoulder, I see the firm muscles rolling down his body. His biceps are massive with muscles in places I didn’t know he could have. I follow the curve of his spine, right to his wide hips. The gray slacks fit him and have a hole for his fluffy tail. I’m surprised the pants didn’t rip when he squatted. They fit against his body, rounding his ass and thick thighs.
Men at the shifter community were not built like this.
My face heats up as I squeeze my thighs together, feeling a different kind of heat between them. I should not be feeling like this about him, just because he saved me twice.
When he turns to me, I quickly look away. He moves to me, scooping me into his arms.
“Hey!” I snap.
But he ignores me.
I grab a fist of his fur, trying to squirm from his grasp. He carries me up the stairs and to the bathroom of the room I woke up in. Setting me on the counter, I watch as he crouches and starts the hot water in the tub. Then he moves to me, fingers wrapping around the hem of my shirt.
I slap his hand away. “I can undress myself, asshole!”
He snorts. “I’m far from interested in you, little mouse.” He reaches again.
I push his hands away. “I’m still a woman and you’re still a man… I think.”
He pauses and I think it’s because I offended him. “I know wherever you came from, you’ve never had a real man around. I am here to help, not touch you in a way you don’t want to be touched.”
I swallow.
“Who do you think dressed you in the first place?”
I gasp, wrapping my arms around myself. “Pervert!”
“I am not a pervert.” He holds up his hands in defense. “Go ahead, get undressed, and then get into the tub yourself…”
Biting my lip, I groan. I doubt I can walk with this injury. “Close your eyes when you carry me. Let me undress myself… Turn around.”
He rolls his eyes, turning around. “Okay…”
My eyes stay glued on him as I slowly take off my long tee-shirt and lift my hips to slide my underwear down.
He turns, red eyes upwards as he scoops me into his arms again. My arm covers my breasts, so they don’t touch his chest. He then sets me in the tub and then disappears. “I’ll be in the bedroom. Tell me when you’re ready.”
How do I get his attention? “Monster, I’m done. Carry me wet and naked to your bed.”
“What’s your name?” I ask, turning.
He freezes in the doorway.
“Do you have one?”
“It’s not important. Call me what you want.” He steps out and closes the door behind him.
I huff and look down at my leg. It bruises all the way to my knee and my ankle is swollen. I only fill the tub a bit, setting my leg on the ledge and take my time to wash the blood and dirt off of me.
He would have let me go, if I didn’t get hurt.
I wonder how long he’d let me stay to get better… I need to get better and get back home. Willow is probably worried sick about me…
Only Willow.
The thought of no one else caring about me, brings tears to my eyes. With a shaking sigh, I continue washing the rest of my body. The monster saved me from Rome’s wrath. I can almost feel his hand still on me… He would have done it, too. Nothing, no one, would have stopped him. Sick fuck.
