We were sitting there for the better half of the night declaring promises I thought I'd never really have to commit to, I wasn't even promising half of it until I heard the pure sincerity in his voice, he really will do anything to protect me and this little dream of his. Carlos had long fallen asleep listening to us and it was honestly one of the most wholesome things I've ever seen, I was stroking his head while also running my fingers through his hair, he was so peaceful.
I could never fully take my eyes off of Koi, he was literally some kind of Greek God. His Jawline was so sharp, and his eyes were so beautiful, unfortunately, in this form, his eyes had lost the gold lines towards the pupil, they were instead replaced with black, it made him look truly powerful. He was a villain in a children's story if I've ever seen one. A very good looking one.
He looked down at me in the middle of the sentence he was saying and his eyes darkened with lust. My breath hitched and I shuffled back a bit, I haven't quite gotten my nerves to calm down after the first round. He pulled me back towards him, seeing as I was in his lap, my attempt seemed quite futile.
"Don't ever run away from me love, I'll always catch you."
I gulped, he was so ferocious and powerful, but to me, he's absolutely beautiful. He placed one hand at the nape of my neck, holding me there. I don't go if it was his intimidating gaze or the large bulge underneath me but my stomach was doing somersaults, I did not want to do "it" in the middle of a forest, with my best friend as an audience, I don't know if he can remember things while he is like this but I don't want to being hearing it for the rest of my existence.
"Such a pretty little mess from such little contact." He said huskily while placing a feather light kiss on my forehead.
I crossed my arms and huffed out in annoyance, this stirred Carlos since my hands weren't petting him anymore.
"No, no shush, go back to sleep." I cooed softly whilst caressing his head. I know what you're thinking, I have a mate who is also watching me do this, but Carlos has been my best bitch since we were like two weeks old, sooo.
He made a soft grunting noise which was half muffled due to the state of being half asleep but soon fell back into his peaceful state. I was not going to have him watch me get all flustered, even if he can't tell what's going on. Koi started ruffling Carlos' hair like you would to rile up a puppy, the bitch was trying to wake him up!
"Stop!" I whispered, he chuckled. The movement agitated Carlos a bit, fuck you Koi.
"If he wakes up, I'm going to order him to bite you."
Koi looked at me challengingly, he had a playful glint in his eyes.
"Leave him alone Koi, he's trying to sleep."
"Why don't I get attention? You've been cuddling him for hours!" He whined, causing Carlos to wake up due to the sudden increase of noise. I looked at Koi accusingly, who was smiling like an idiot. Carlos pushed up off of me and let the cool night air brush against me, I shivered. He rubbed his face and got out of the cuddle circle. He looked down at me and waved his hands around, he was motioning for food.
"Food?"
Once he saw that I understood, he took off and flew away from him. I crossed my arms and looked up at Koi, clearly annoyed. I positioned myself so I was facing him. I smiled and wrapped my arms around his neck, putting him under the impression that I was going to kiss him, oh if only you knew.
"Come here you big baby!"
I stuffed his head against me muffling his angry remarks. He growled loudly whilst I was giggling uncontrollably, I wrapped my legs around his waist so he couldn't quite push me off. I started blowing raspberries on his neck and I felt him squirm.
"Oh you're such a cutie aren't you? A big cuddly teddy bear." I mocked, speaking to him like a baby, he growled at me ferociously, stopping my actions instantly. A less cuddly teddy bear. Once he noticed my pause, he threw me to the ground as gently as you can when throwing someone, and then got on top of me. For some reason, he let his wings retract, allowing his normal form to come through. I looked into his pretty gold speckled eyes. He still looked pretty menacing.
"You're so handso-" I was cut off when he shifted into a massive black wolf, his eyes were now glowing golden orbs. He looked at me somewhat angrily before plonking his full weight onto me, I coughed from the sudden impact.
"You fat fuck get off of me!"
He growled in response, he then placed his massive head over mine, muffling me. I grunted and pushed at his furry body. I soon gave up and just decided to cuddle into his wolf, he was keeping the cold out.
"So fluffy." I mumbled into his fur, he was like a giant plush toy. Without warning he shifted back, and I was left with a huge, naked Koi on top of me. He was smirking like an idiot. I blushed profusely and looked at the sky, avoiding his gaze, until he started to push himself up off the ground.
"NO! Stay there!" I rushed. I threw my arms around his neck and pulled him back down against me. I didn't want to see his nether region just yet and I was cold. The first point was ultimately more important in this moment.
He smiled against my chest and snuggled in anyways, pushing his hands underneath me. I sighed in relief, but instead of staying there, he stood up, taking me with him. I gasped as he jumped off the rock, it was huge, taller than the forest.
Thankfully, he let his wings take back their place and we landed safely on the ground, but he was still naked, and I was clinging to him, we looked like we had a lot of fun in the forest. I looked up at him with confusion and worry in my eyes.
"What are you doing? You're naked, and we're in the middle of a forest, what if someone sees us?"
He rolled his eyes at me.
"Firstly, I'm taking you home, our home, secondly, I don't need to be reminded, thirdly, like you said, we are in a forest, no one's going to see us."
I sighed and put my head on his shoulders, looking behind him. I saw something come from the sky and land gracefully. It looked around frantically and I realised it was Carlos, he must be confused as to where we went, so I called out for him.
"Carlos! Over here."
He turned in the direction of my voice and spotted the large silhouette of Koi, he ran towards us but stopped about a foot away when he saw Koi, at least he was facing away from Carlos. Koi turned his head and looked at Carlos.
"Ah, hello Carlos."
I mouthed help to Carlos, I was not going to be carried by my naked mate with the possibility of a hunter being in the woods. Koi saw my action and dropped me on the spot, I fell hard on my butt and yelped out of shock.
I looked up but immediately regretted, remembering he was naked, I quickly darted my gaze to the ground and cursed under my breath.
"Are you serious Koi?"
"Yes, if you want to act like an embarrassed teenager then you can walk, I don't see how this is much better though as you had no clear view of anything from my shoulder."
I groaned in protest and pushed myself up, avoiding his area. Walking in front sounded like a great idea, but while we were walking, he kept tripping me with his foot, so I moved to the back with Carlos. besides, I didn't know where we were going anyway. I also decided that since he was my mate, I was going to look at what I wanted, he had a nice ass in all honesty. Shut up Charlie. But still.
I assumed we've been walking for hours now because my feet were sore and my back was aching. I haven't let Elsie out in a while, this would have been much easier if I was shifted.
"Koi?"
He looked over his shoulder at me.
"Yes?"
"Are we there yet?"
"Nope, we still have a few hours to go."
I groaned. Hours?
"Can you carry me? Pretty please?" I haven't met a lot of people who can't say no to my pretty pleases.
"Nope, you wanted to complain, so you can walk."
WHAT?! That was one of my best pretty pleases! I groaned again. I turned to Carlos and held my arms up, dutifully he picked me up with a little smile. This obviously made Koi jealous since he growled and turned around to snatch me out of Carlos' arms. I kicked at him, keeping me at a distance.
"Oh my goddess Charlotte, would you stop being difficult?" He gritted out like a parent talking to a young child.
"No! You didn't want to carry and cuddle with me, and Carlos was happy to carry me, so yeah."
He growled and Carlos, probably out of fear, put me down gently and took a small step back. I sighed and rolled my eyes at him. I held up my arms and he quickly picked me up and cuddled me to his chest. I looked back at Carlos to see him looking a bit sad, so I held my hand out, he grabbed it and I leaned in so I could whisper in his ear.
"You're a lot sweeter anyways."
Koi heard me and nipped my shoulder so I yelped. He was so possessive. I began to get bored so I slumped down into his hold. I leaned my head against his chest, tracing lines against his abs, his skin was so soft for someone so big and tough.
I looked up at his beautiful face, he was so inexplicably handsome, I reached up and poked his cheek, purposely irritating him, he made an annoyed face and looked down at me, I smiled sweetly, knowing very well what I was doing.
I went back to tracing lines on his chest, and soon, I began to fall asleep, he was so warm and intoxicating, or maybe it was just the mate bond, who cares, I'd die for this feeling any day.
He was my perfect mate, and soon, he would be my very perfect King.
