I closed my eyes and enjoyed the attention. I can feel his tail caressing my cheek. He continued to nuzzle my ear while his embrace started to get tighter.
Now I'm feeling a bit hot. His body temperature is a bit higher than mine and along with the blanket covering me, I'm starting to sweat.
Also, I'm starting to feel ticklish.
My heart continued to beat fast and my mind is starting to think all sorts of naughty thoughts.
I don't mind though. I'm not a conservative person, though I have no experience yet in doing intercourse. I almost had intercourse before while I was younger and it's not a pleasant experience for me.
But this? Oh sweet desserts. I'm barely holding on to my last thought of self control.
I wanted to kiss him so badly. But my sense of reason reminded me that I have no idea of my real feelings to him just yet.
Now Lion is starting to nuzzle my hair and thankfully, he must've noticed me sweating that he loosen his hold on me.
I was wrong.
Instead, his tail brought me closer to him and held my body while his hands started to move towards my shoulders.
Cuss word. It's starting to feel really good.
He caressed my shoulders while he started to nuzzle my cheek.
A sudden thought came to me and I realized that he is showing affection to me like how a cat shows affection to his owner.
I painted a picture of that in my mind and somehow, I find it amusing. I let out a chuckle and felt Lion smiling while he continued to nuzzle my cheek.
I never felt so loved before.
I felt a sudden rush of emotion. I wish I could tell him what I really feel but I'm still hesitant.
I slowly opened my eyes and saw him looking at me with such affection that I became speechless. I want to cry looking at him.
It didn't last though.
The door suddenly opened and in came Ghost, Sly and a very beautiful creature who has the face of a puma but has the body of a horse with two legs, claws for hands and a tail. Both Sly and the creature looked like they wanted me and Lion to continue whatever we are doing while Ghost looked embarrassed.
The creature asked us if we are about to do intercourse and I've never seen Lion looked so red in the face before. He looked visibly annoyed with how things turned out and threatened the creature who only laughed at him while Sly and Ghost guffawed at the remark.
The creature turned to me and asked me why I wasn't removing the blanket I was covering my body with, further asking me if I prefer doing intercourse while covering myself.
Sly then added that I should not be shy anymore since Lion ALREADY seen me naked while putting some bandages on my body while I was sleeping.
To make things worse, Ghost told EVERYONE that Lion had already seen my whole body while bathing and that he is attracted to it.
Now it's my face who turned red and I covered my face with my hands out of embarrassment.
I heard them screaming while running out of the room with the door banged close.
I never felt so mortified in my entire life.
I sat up, hugging my knees to my chest and buried my face on my legs. Thankfully, my hair is quite long and covered the rest of my face.
I'm so embarrassed.
After a few minutes, I heard the door open and close. It's Lion. He kept on muttering something unintelligible while letting out a deep breath.
I heard his footsteps approaching me and he sat down on the bed. He took a long deep breath.
He apologized for the commotion. But he didn't say anything about seeing my body.
Did you see it? I asked him with a small voice, still continuing in burying my face on my legs.
He didn't make a sound. Instead, his fingers brushed aside my hair and he looked at me with so much affection.
He asked me why I am hiding my face. Was it because he saw me naked? Is that something to be ashamed?
He admitted that it was an accident when he saw me bathing. He told me that he was terrified when he woke up and saw that the place where I'm sleeping was empty. He said there are all sorts of predators around that aren't civilized and that I might be taken away by them.
The second time he saw me naked was when I was unconscious. He told me that several mornings and evenings passed by with me being unconscious and sick.
It turns out that when Ghost, Pinky and I didn't return to the castle, he immediately tried to go after us. By then, Sly already arrived at the castle so they together tried to find us.
He suddenly stopped talking and made me sit up properly. He sighed and continued his story.
It was Sly who found us first. He transformed to his other form and having many eyes, easily found us while he was flying.
Pinky and Ghost were panicking, with Pinky trying to wave some of his branches around, at the same time, trying hard not to move too much in case he might hurt me.
Lion told me that he immediately flew down and carried me in his arms, rushing into the deeper part of the forest and found one of the tribal members of which the couple who took him in belonged to.
He apologized to me first before continuing. I looked at him questioningly and he explained why.
They don't have any idea what caused me to get sick. The creature earlier is the healer of this tribe and even she (yes, it is a she!) with several centuries of experience and knowledge have no idea on how to heal me. So he tried all sorts of magic along with the magical leaves that the healer mixed with some herbs and placed it on some parts of the body.
By this point, Lion's cheeks started to turn into a lighter shade of pink. He hesitantly asked me the reason why I'm embarrassed about showing my naked body even if it's for healing.
I reluctantly told him that I don't like the way my body looks. I decided to be honest with him and told him something happened to me when I was in my previous world, though I would tell him the story when I am ready.
He sat down beside me and faced me with a concerned look in his eyes.
He then said that he thinks my body is beautiful and that he was extremely careful in putting the bandages for fear that he might injure me.
I looked at his eyes, those eyes that always looked at me with affection, those beautiful eyes that have different colors that does not exist in this world, staring back at me with so much affection that I finally decided to take a chance on this relationship to grow.
I slowly raised my hand and placed it on Lion's cheek. His eyes widened and he didn't move. Even his tail is held upright though it soon began to swish slowly.
I then began to caress his cheek and he slowly closed his eyes.
With my other hand, I touched his hair and slowly began to playfully twirl his hair.
His cheeks began to flush into a deeper shade of red.
From caressing his cheek, my hand slowly went down to his neck and he slowly began to open his eyes.
He looked clearly aroused.
I then stopped what I was doing and just placed my head on his shoulder. He nuzzled my head and took one of my hands and held it.
After a while, he let go of my hand and stood up, remembering the basin and told me that he would replace the bandages.
I remembered that I didn't bathe yet and pleaded with him that I want to bathe first.
I can use the toilet later.
For now, I need to bathe.
