Makoto
“Makoto? You have to get up.”
I turned, curling into the warm cushions. I smelled multiple scents –roses, lavender, mint, Pine...oh pumpkin spice, yum.
The thought alone of the rich, sweet smell made my stomach roar in protest as it reminded me of how hungry I was. I mumbled something before I relaxed, wanting to go back to sleep.Oh, that was Kai calling me. Hmm.
“Makoto.”
“No. I’m not hungry,” I lied, wanting to stay in the multiple scent heaven that surrounded me.
“Princess.”
“But I want to sleep,” I whined, tightening my eyes.
I felt a hand brush against my back, the touch sent tingles down my spine.
“Mako. I need you to eat,” he whispered in my ear, his low, seductive voice enough to convince me to do anything he wanted. I lifted my head, turning it in an awkward position to stare at the amber eyed shifter – my fifth star knight.
“Can I sleep after?” I questioned, needing to know for sure if I’d get to return to the realm of sleep.
“Yes. You can sleep after, though I can guarantee you’ll want to stay awake for just a bit.” He smiled, that sinful gesture enough to send excitement down to my core.
Hormones, settle down! I swear this is an act of revenge. Aren’t four sexy shifters enough?
“You have to admit, he’s hot in all areas. Even the ones you can’t see through those sexy fitted clothes.”Lily flowed through my mind; her voice proved how impressed she was with the muscular, hot stuff in front of us.
OR you’re just smitten, like the other three love struck fools.
“From the girl falling in love with the stranger she met an hour and a half ago before passing out multiple times and finishing your knightly starlight bond. Hmmm,”Rose coaxed, her toneless voice returned.
Go away. Your opinion doesn’t count in this situation.
“You’re just mad because I’m right,”she argued before leaving.
Whatever.
I sat up slowly; my body protested my actions. I tried to get up, but Kai stopped me; his hands landed on my shoulders as he shook his head.
“Sit. I’ll get your food,” he encouraged, rising to his full height as he made his way to the kitchen. I smiled, relieved to be able to sit here instead of walking to the kitchen island that looked so far.
“MEW.”
I jumped at the sudden sound; my head darted to the ball of fur next to me. Nightmare’s tails waved back and forth as she clawed at the cushion, wanting my attention.
“Nighty! Hello. Are you starving, too? I’ll save you some of my bacon,” I whispered, lifting her in my arms. She purred, cuddling against me. I took a moment to pet her before I placed her in my lap, noticing Kai walking toward me; a plate filled with blueberry pancakes, bacon, boiled eggs and a glass filled with white milk.
I took a deep breath, the sweet heavenly smell made me want to devour the food in one sweep.
He placed the glass of milk on the table and sat next to me on the couch as he held my plate. I reached out to grab the plate from him, when he pulled it away. I gasped in sadness, looking up to him in horror.
“The princess is tired. Which usually means you can potentially stab yourself with the fork, or so I’ve been told. Therefore, as your new knight, I think it’s my responsibility to feed you.” The soothing flow of words made me swell with excitement, in more ways than one.
“I’d bet you’d love to suck on that—” Lexi began before I cut her off.
Nope! We just met. Geez, let me know him for twenty-four hours for Starlight’s sake. Stop encouraging Lily, too.
“I didn’t even say anything,”Lily defended herself. I rolled my eyes.
