Chapter 11 - Hastened

Dae-Hyun

Eun-Ae's low breaths invaded my ears as her rapid heartbeat began to slow. The warmth of her body on mine caused me to release the tension in my muscles. I gave her a quick thrust, feeling her walls squeeze around me caused me to chuckle. I knew she was still awake.

I brought my hand up and stroked the back of her head as she released a hiss. "Eun-Ae, can you shift so I can carry you back?" I whispered into her ear.

A sleepy moan escaped Eun-Ae's lips as she pulled away from me and stretched. "Mmhm," she kept her eyes closed as she pushed out of my lap and hopped onto the side of the bath, and shifted.

Eun-Ae's golden irises stared back at me with hooded lids as she sat down on her haunches, waiting for me to get out of the bath.

I swiftly turned around and pulled myself out and walked over to where our clothes sat and dried myself off with a towel before dressing myself.

Eun-Ae had fallen asleep curled into a ball of white fluff. I chuckled at her as I reached down and scooped her sleeping form into my arms. "My little blossom." I whispered to myself as I grabbed her hanbok and ventured off toward our new room.

"Dae-Hyun!" Gon shouted from the end of the hallway.

I narrowed my eyes at him and pressed my finger to my lips. "She's asleep. What is it?" I whispered loudly.

"Oh, sorry… um well the announcement is scheduled for two days from today. Everyone in the village wants to attend to see the king's consort."

I pinched the bridge of my nose and released an aggravated sigh. "Of course they would."

Glancing down at Eun-Ae I smiled, Things will be better. I will make this better. I thought as I watched her sleeping form tucked into my arm.

"She's really adorable when she's sleeping isn't she, Dae?"

Gon commented as he walked away.

I had to agree. She was pretty cute in her fox form especially with her tails and she had shrunk herself down to fit in my arms without being seen unless you were up close.

Reaching down I scratched behind her ears and gave her little nose a kiss. Eun-Ae licked her nose and opened her eyes, gazing up at me.

"Yes?" She chittered.

I shook my head and smiled down at her, "It's nothing." I reached down and scratched her ears again and ran my fingers through her cloud-like fur.

Eun-Ae purred as she unrolled herself in my arm and pressed her head into my hand before rolling onto her back. Her little paws were in the air.

"Aigo! So cute," I chuckled, tickling her tummy and playing with her hind paws before continuing to our room.

"Can I jump down? I need to stretch my legs." She whined.

"No, you can't." I glanced down at her to gauge her reaction. She pouted at me before I knelt and gently placed her on the floor. "I can place you on the floor, but I don't want you to hurt yourself jumping."

I watched as she enlarged her frame, her head stood level with my elbow as she stretched her legs and flared her tails.

Eun-Ae hissed in satisfaction as she arched her back to stretch. "So, where are we going?" She glanced up at me with her ears perked.

"Back to our room so you can properly rest. I will be sending someone later today to get your sizes so we can get your hanbok ready." I patted her head.

"For what? What's going on?" She asked as she trotted alongside me.

"We have a very important announcement." I proudly stated.

She flicked one of her tails at me as she sped up, "Hmph. That stupid announcement you mentioned earlier huh?" Eun-Ae glanced over her shoulder at me before jumping and turning around. Her behind wiggling in a playful manner.

I stopped and acted as if I were scared of her, which caused the both of us to break out into laughter. Oh, I could get used to this banter between us. Especially now that we've been intimate. The awkward moments definitely had died down.

"Your majesty!" One of my guards shouted as he shifted into a large red wolf and charged only to be smacked around by Eun-Ae's tails.

Pinching the bridge of my nose I released a heavy sigh and raised my hand at him, "No, no it's okay, wait you're a shifter too? What the fuck? Are all of my guards fucking shifters? Don't tell me my fucking horse is a shifter too."

Eun-Ae let out a foxy giggle and shrugged her shoulders. "I'd have to say yes."

The guard quickly rose to his feet and shook. His eyes locked on Eun-Ae as if she were a threat. A menacing growl vibrated his chest.

"Unless you want to get slapped around some more I'd suggest you stop." I sneered at him.
