“Crimson?” Aki asked.

I blinked a few times, feeling a little confused as I tried to recall what just happened.

“Yes. I lost control again?” I questioned.

Aki nodded. “Storm took over to explain everything to me.”

“Did she test you again?” I asked hesitantly. I didn’t want to bring it up, but a weird hurtful feeling lingered in my heart.

“Yes, and I didn’t fall for it. Do you feel sad?”

“Hurt is a better word. I guess she’s hurt that you didn’t feel sympathy for her?” I tried to put what I felt into words.

“I did feel sympathy for her but using you to gain my physical response won’t help. I vowed I’d move forward and that still stands. She should know I’m rather stubborn when I make up my mind,” Aki confirmed.

“That must be a Kitsune trait,” I mumbled with a grin.

He smiled, leaning up to kiss me deeply, making me sigh into his mouth. My tails had been resting on the left side of me with Aki’s, but they lifted up, and I could feel them waving back and forth.

“Are you worried they’ll come after you? White Eyes and James?” Aki inquired after we broke the kiss.

“I have no doubt in my mind that we’ll confront them sooner or later. I’m just scared that I won’t have the time to become strong enough to fight them when the time comes. I just regained my powers. I don’t know how to use them or properly defend myself. I can fight and set things on fire, but I’m still a noob compared to Storm Yuna, who had years of experience and training. What if they somehow manage to bind me the same way they did Storm? It doesn’t matter if I’m going to be the strongest Kitsune shifter in Homatomashi. If I can’t use my magic, that kind of defeats the purpose,” I admitted.

“You want to know a Kitsune secret?” Aki asked.

“Secret? Sure,” I replied, curious to learn what it was.

“If you’re ever in a situation where you can’t escape, bite the person,” he revealed.

“Bite? Like...how I bit you during sex? Which by the way, I’m sorry for. I don’t know what came over me.” My eyes lowered to the bite mark at the base of his neck. The area was red and slightly purple, and there were still teeth imprints on his skin. Thankfully, I hadn’t bitten hard enough to draw blood.

Aki gave me a seductive grin. “That’s different. Kitsunes like to bite their lovers when they’re intimate, especially when they take the dominant role or are really turned on by their lover. It’s known as a reward for your lover for pleasing you and your desires. You might want to control some days, and want your lover to fuck you mercilessly the next couple of times. It all depends on your mood and current needs.”

“Why is it a reward?” I asked, rather fascinated by the shift in topic.

“The bite may look painful, but it’s really sensitive and feels nice when something touches it. After a few hours, which is usually during the time a shifter is sleeping, the bite helps restore energy levels as a bonus.”

“Magic?”

“Somewhat. Don’t know how it works honestly, but it’s called a reward because of the boost of energy it gives the lover,” Aki elaborated.

“That’s really cool,” I pointed out while I stared at the mark. My Kitsune was still close to the surface, and I decided to lean in and lick the spot, which made Aki shiver and moan quietly.

“Crim, you’re getting distracted,” he reminded in a shaky voice.

“Hmm?” I asked, kissing the site.

Aki moaned again, a bit louder than before.

“Crim, my love. Please, let’s finish before you turn me on again,” he begged.

I pulled back and slowly nodded, thinking if I finished the conversation fast enough, I could return to my teasing. “Hai.”

He grinned at my disappointed face and stroked my head soothingly.

“Arigato,” he hummed.

I smiled and nodded, waiting for him to continue.
