White Fur

Chapter 13

Skyler’s POV

I felt Kanto’s grip around me tighten. I looked away for a moment to adjust my position so he wouldn’t crush me. When I looked back up a pair of darker hazel eyes stared back.

“Hello little mate.” He looked at me hungrily. His voice was more rugged and raspy compared to Kanto’s usually smooth, deep voice.

“Hi.” I honestly didn’t know what to say. “I’m Skyler, what should I call you?”

“I’m Zenith.” His smirk grew wider.

“Zenith? I said that name before, when Kanto shifted.” I rotated my body to face Zenith but his grip was still strong around me. “Is that why I said it, is this that mate-bond thing Kanto was talking about?”

“We don’t quite know, it might be.” Zenith took advantage of my new position and gently placed me on the bed on my back. “But I think we have more important things to discuss, little mate.”

I tilted my head, confused at what he meant. He quickly was on top of me. I held my breath as he boxed me in with his arms. He continued to stare at me as if looking for permission, which I didn’t expect. I gave him a slight nod, then he pressed his lips onto mine. Zenith was definitely more primal, but I didn’t mind, I’ve been wanting to kiss Kanto since our last one, I didn’t mind that it was Zenith in charge. He licked my bottom lip with his tongue requesting entry, which I allowed. Our tongues explored every part of each others mouths. This kiss was different than the one I had with Kanto, this kiss was hungry and wild.

I wrapped my arms around Zenith, pressing him closer to me. I felt his weight shift on the bed, with his left hand he started to play with the bottom of my shirt. I didn’t stop kissing him, if anything I kissed him harder. That was all the invitation he needed to slide his hand up and cup my breast in his hand. I let out a small moan as he played with my n****e over my bra. Zenith let out a low growl as he pulled me up the bed a bit. He parted from my lips, which made me feel starved. He grabbed the bottom of my shirt and gently removed it over my head. But before he continued he took a moment to rake his eyes over my body. He started growling, but not like before, these sounded angry.

I sat up as best I could and reached a hand up to his face. “I’m ok, you and Kanto saved me. I’m still here.” I smiled trying to calm him down.

“I should have ripped the heads off of all those bastards.” He growled still staring at my injuries.

“I’m happy you didn’t.” He shot his eyes up at mine in shock. “Because now they get to suffer in jail for the rest of their lives, which is much more torturous.” I honestly didn’t know if they were in jail but it would be weird if Kanto didn’t make sure they were taken care of in some way.

“I’ll always protect you, little mate.” Zenith relaxed his face into my hand and took a deep breath.

“Feel better?” I asked to which Zenith peacefully nodded. But I couldn’t contain the thirsty part of me that craved more of him, so obviously I need to continue our makeout session some how. A wicked smile came across my face when I came up with the perfect plan. I tamed my face and put on a look of innocence. “Zenith, can you do me a favor?”

“Anything, little mate.” Zenith opened his eyes again, even though his eyes were dark hazel they still looked sweet like Kanto’s usually were.

“On my back there’s something scratching me, could you help me get rid of it?” It took all the strength I had to hold back my wicked smile.

Zenith nodded and wrapped his hands around me feeling around my back. I could tell it was affecting him because his breath got more ragged. His hands slid up to my bra clasp which is exactly what he needed to find. “That’s the spot can you remove it please.”

Zenith quickly undid the clasp but I don’t think he caught on since he didn’t remove the rest of my bra. I took one of my hands and placed it on the center of his chest and push him backwards so he would sit down. Zenith tilted his head to the side in confusion, my cute little puppy dog. I slid the bra straps off and threw the bra off my bed. I let out a deep sigh. “Ahhh that’s better.” Then I smirked at Zenith.

His eyes turned hungry again and he pounced, landing his lips on mine again. He didn’t hesitate to grab my breast with both hand and work magic on my n*****s. I couldn’t stop the moans of pleasure escaping from my lips.

“You are playing with fire, little mate.” I felt Zenith grin as he broke from our kiss.

I kissed my way across his face to his ear. I whispered softly to him. “I like playing with fire.” Then I nibbled on his earlobe letting out a breath. This drove Zenith wild. He planted his mouth on mine and continued to taste every part of my mouth. Then he moved his way down my neck. Kissing all the way down until his mouth found my right n****e. He began to suck while massaging the other, with each flick of his tongue a small moan escaped my body. Then he quickly switched sides, leaving kisses his whole way across.

I got so lost in the moment that my hips started to grind against him. He adjusted himself so he could match my movements. I felt his hard member against my entrance through our layers of clothing. I could feel myself getting wet. I wanted him inside me so bad, but I remembered what Kanto said earlier. If we had s*x, we’d be together forever, they would be stuck with me and I don’t know if he’ll want that in the future. I guess I need to turn down the flames I was playing with.

Problem is, having to stop a supernaturally strong, primal being is a difficult challenge especially when I also didn’t want to stop. I felt his hand slide from my breast to the waist band of my sweatpants. He moved his mouth from my breast and up towards my neck. That’s when I felt something sharp graze my skin.

“No Zenith, you can’t do that yet.” I said softly, trying not to scold him. But he didn’t retreat. He lined his canines up to the spot Kanto pointed to earlier. I need to make sure he doesn’t mark me. I shot up from laying on my back to sitting up pushing Zenith off of me. Then I sternly said “No. You can’t mark me yet.”

Zenith whimpered a bit, which broke my heart to hear. I saw Zenith’s eyes turn back to a lighter hazel color meaning Kanto was back in control, regret instantly on his face. “I’m so sorry, I tried to stop him but he wouldn’t listen to me. Are you ok?”

I leaned forward and wrapped my arms around Kanto. “I’m alright. Please let Zenith know that it’s not his fault. I was the one making the advances, you warned me but I ignored it and pushed him anyways. I’m sorry Zenith.”

Kanto let out a sigh of relief as he started to wrap his arms around me but then stopped.

“What?”

“You’re. . .um. . . not wearing a shirt.”

Kanto was definitely the gentleman with a hint of pink growing on his face. I rolled my eyes, perched myself on my knees so I could reach and gave Kanto a light kiss on the lips.

“You’ve been shirtless all day, why can’t I?”Kanto laughed at my rhetorical question. I guided Kanto to lean his back on the bed as I placed my bare body on top of his. “But I can put a shirt on if it makes you more comfortable.”

“I don’t mind this.” He was blushing a bit as he smiled at me. I scooted myself up his chest so I could kiss him again. This time he returned the kiss, he wrapped his arm under mine and placed his hand between my shoulder blades. Our kisses got deeper as we both parted our lips to explore the other persons mouth. Kanto now wrapped both arms around me, one hand placed between my shoulder blades, the other grabbed around my waist. I pulled my right hand through his wavy, dark brown hair.

These kisses were like the first time we kissed. Gentle and savory, I wanted every kiss to last forever. I slowly moved my mouth down to Kanto’s neck, when I reached his marking spot I heard him take a sharp inhale. I giggled against his chest and left one more kiss on the spot before placing my head on his chest and listened to his rapid heartbeat.

Kanto let out a long sigh as he adjusted to my new position. “Ms. McCarthy, you are truly evil.” I just laughed and snuggled into him more. He laughed too then grabbed the tv remote. “Alright my turn to choose.”

I truly felt happy at that moment. “Even though our second date had a bit of a rough start, I think it’s going pretty well don’t you?”

Kanto let out a breath as a laugh. “One day we will go on a regular date, I promise.”

I smiled and went back to watching Kanto decide what movie was next. The rest of the day went on like that. At some point we ordered food delivered to my apartment, which Kanto paid for against my wishes. I did eventually put a shirt back on, but conveniently none of my shirts fit Kanto so he just continued on without a shirt, much to my liking. He tried to put on his button up shirt but before he could reach it, I grabbed it threw it in the washing machine and turned it on. I told him it was an accident but I don’t think either of us believed that.

After eating our food we snuggled back up on my bed. The last movie I remember watching was a historical fiction movie that I’ve seen before but Kanto was excited to watch it so I didn’t tell him I’d seen it. I felt my eyelids getting heavy, my blinks were getting longer. And then I drifted off to sleep.

I slowly opened my eyes when I woke up. I was happy to discover I was tangled in Kanto’s arms. I lied there for a moment before carefully extracting myself and scurrying off to the bathroom. When I walked into the bathroom I was careful not to look at myself in the mirror, I didn’t want to see the same horrific version of myself. But if I don’t look, I won’t know if anything it wrong. Uh, fine I’ll look. I went to wash my hands, it took a lot of convincing to turn my glance up but when I did I was amazed.

The bruise on the right side of my face was practically gone. The cut on my bottom lip disappeared. My neck was still bruised but nowhere near as bad as it was yesterday. Same story for my rib cage. I could even move my wrist a little more without it hurting. What the hell was going on? But wait, that doctor, Dr. Garcia, said I’d be fine in a couple days. Whatever magic drugs he gave me were working effectively quick.

I stepped out of the bathroom, still adjusting to what I just saw in the mirror. Kanto was still peacefully sleeping as if he hadn’t slept in years. I was about to grab my phone when I heard a low growl.

“Get back here.” Kanto mumbled, eyes still closed but lifting his arm slightly for me to squeeze back in. I giggled at him before jumping into his arms. The warmth I felt every time I was with him made me feel like I was always meant to be here. I felt Kanto kiss the top of my head. “Good morning.”

“You looked so peaceful, I tried not to wake you up. I guess I didn’t succeed.” Kanto gave a low chuckle at my attempts of being sneaky. “So you know how Dr. Garcia said it would only take a couple of days for my injuries to heal?”

“Mhmm.” Kanto’s eyes were still closed but I knew he was actively listening.

“What drugs did he give me, because they are definitely working.”

Kanto had a big smile creep onto his face as he slowly opened his eye. I felt my heart begin to race when I got a glimpse of his hazel eyes. “That’s because of me.”

“You?”

“Yea, when mates find each other, they get stronger and more connected. You are using some of my healing ability. If you were a werewolf, injuries like yours would have healed by now.” He causally explained.

“So you have super strength, super speed and rapid healing. What else can you do?” I feel like I need a Werewolves for Dummies book.

“We also have better hearing, sense of smell and have improved vision.”

“I should start keeping a journal on this, 101 things you need to know for dating a werewolf.” I wiggled even closer to Kanto, he reciprocated by squeezing his grip around my waist tighter.

We lied like that for a moment, drowsiness setting back in. Then Kanto let out a frustrated groan, taking me out of my sleepy state.

“What’s wrong?”

Kanto let out a deep sigh before explaining “Remember how I mentioned that contract with the annoying people?”

“Yea I believe their name was Morriston’s?” He mentioned it over text once after our first date.

He laughed “Morrison, but good memory. Well the main contributor to the plans is demanding we meet today. And according to my coworker, they have to meet with me.” He rolled his eyes and flopped onto his back.

“Humans. Such time demanding creatures.” I smirked at him.

He suddenly swung himself on top of me, capturing me between his two very muscular arms. “You can demand my time all day long, beautiful.” I let out a giggle before he leaned down and kissed me. I wrapped my arms around him as best as I could to bring him closer to me. This made the kiss deeper and more passionate. When he tried to pull away, I instinctually wrapped my legs around his waist making him pull me up when he went to his sitting position. I felt him slide a hand under my shirt onto my back, but that wasn’t the only thing I felt. I could feel him getting excited, I knew I was getting excited too but then I remembered yesterday and how I don’t think I’m ready yet. I gave him one more passionate kiss before pulling away.

“See, we are such needy creatures.” I smirked again. “But you should go to work, you’re the boss you need to set a good example.”

Kanto pouted and loosened his grip. I got off the gorgeous man in front of me and checked my phone. 7 am. “Your clothes should be all clean after mysteriously ending up in the laundry machines. Why don’t you take a shower while I make some breakfast?”

“Or you could join me in the shower.” Kanto mumbled so low I don’t think I was supposed to hear. I instantly got wet at the thought of him naked in the shower. I guess he could tell, because he jumped off the bed wrapped his arms around me from behind and began kissing my neck. I let out a moan of pleasure as his hands explored my body. One of those hands slowly slid up my shirt and gently started to massage my breast. Subconsciously I pushed myself back into Kanto, grinding myself against his growing erection. I let out another moan which made Kanto let out a low growl and spin me around to face him. I looked into his eyes and saw the lust in them as they turned dark hazel for a second. His lips were back on mine, getting deeper and hungrier. Using both of his arms he hoisted me up, I wrapped my legs around him as he walked to place my back against the wall. Once positioned, he took his hand and placed it back on my breast and gently started playing with my n****e. I couldn’t stop the moans coming from my mouth, if this felt so pleasurable I could only imagine how great the s*x will be.

I kissed him one more time before reluctantly pulling back. “Mr. Boterea, your clients are waiting.”

He let out a loud groan and put his head on my shoulder, which was easy to do right now because I was still up against the wall. Evilly I laughed at his frustration and unwrapped my legs from his waist. “I’m going to make breakfast, I suggest you take a cold shower this morning.” I winked and scurried off to my kitchen. I heard another groan before hearing the bathroom door close and the shower start.

I went and grabbed out enough ingredients to make pancakes, after seeing all the food Kanto ordered for himself last night, I knew I’d need to make a mountain of pancakes. Just as I was about to start cooking a thought popped in my head. Kanto forgot to bring his clothes with him into the bathroom. Now I had a decision to make, be a nice person and put them outside the bathroom door or make him do the same towel dance I did yesterday. Decisions, decisions. In order to prevent me from ‘accidentally’ ripping off his towel, I decided to be nice and put his clothes outside the door. I will admit though it was funny when the water stopped and heard Kanto curse at himself for also forgetting his clothes. I heard the door open and then a sigh of relief when he saw his clothes.

I created the Mount Everest of pancake stacks just as Kanto came out of the bathroom. My jaw dropped open at the vision of sexiness before me, I almost dropped the last of the pancakes I was carrying as well. I snapped myself out of my trance and set the table attempting to have a normal breakfast. “I made pancakes, you want some?”
