Chapter 28: From peace…

After the sunset, it was too chilly to stay in the forest. Thought the flowers here blossomed every season. It helped that it hadn’t snowed too. Fenris shifted into his beast form, laying in front of me so I could mount his back.

This wouldn’t be the first time I felt his fur on my fingertips, but it would be the first I would ride him like this. The moment his fur touched my limbs, I felt a rush of electricity course through me. It felt so much different from his humanoid hair and was much softer.

When Fenris stood up, it caused me to fall onto him, grabbing his fur in tight fists. I had only felt his coat like this once before. On a chilly night, when the building heaters failed, one winter storm.

After holding me for most of the night, I woke up the next morning to a radiant heat overwhelming me. He had shifted into his beast form to keep me cozy throughout the night. And he never left my side until they fixed the heaters.

Even though he had other duties to attend to. I told him I was fine with a warm blanket, too. But he refused to go, no matter how many times his phone rang. Instead, he spent the entire day as my personal heater.

Not that I minded. But he received a scolding from Ryker the following day. However, Fenris didn’t care for his words, either.

“Late, better than never.” Fenris sassed back at Ryker, much to his annoyance.

Even at this moment, heat radiated into every inch of my body that touched Fenris's fur. He was a warm fluffy cloud while in this form, to me at least. I didn’t have to fear the fangs he would bear for his enemies.

Before taking off, he shook his body a bit to check if I was holding onto him tight enough to not be blown off. Shade again held onto my dress for dear life. Fenris ran at a blinding speed. He was not as nimble as Cora, but he was just as fast.

I closed my eyes, holding on to him tightly. We ran through the dark forest and into the lights of the town before coming to a complete stop. To my surprise, we weren’t in the Cerberus headquarters, but in an alley.

We were in the part of the town I destroyed fourteen years ago. Fenris laid down on the floor to let me off again. I tightened my grip on him, hesitant to do so. I felt like I didn’t belong here. So many people died because of what I did.

Even if it was in a failed attempt to save them. Over the years, Ben had drilled into me it wasn’t my fault, but I still felt responsible for everything. It happened because I couldn’t control my emotions that the shadow demons from the nether realm went out of control.

They were trying to defend me from everything I feared. I was a young girl back then, but even so, I didn’t belong here. Noticing my hesitation, Fenris shifted back to his humanoid form, even though I was still on his back.

The sudden change caused me to grasp on to him as a baby monkey would to her mother. When his form stabilized, my arms ended up on his shoulders and around his neck. The rest of my body rested on his back.

I tightly wrapped my legs around his hips, refusing to touch the ground. A small chuckle rose from his lips. His hands and knees were on the floor.

"Lilith..." Fenris began, sounding somewhat concerned over me.

"No! I can’t!" I refused to know what he wanted.

Even though I didn’t know the reason, he brought me here. I wanted to leave. Shade still hugged my dress, growing concern over me, too.

"Lily! It’ll be okay." Fenris assured me.

It fell on deaf ears. I didn’t, couldn’t, step in this part of town ever.

"No!" I disagreed, burying my face in his back.

Fenris released a sigh, standing up with me on him. However, I held tighter onto his neck. Sadly, gravity wanted me to fall onto the ground below. Shade climbed up onto his head when he grabbed onto my arms that held him hostage.

"Lily," he gently voiced, shifting his grip onto my thighs to make sure I wouldn’t fall by accident.

I declined to continue answering him. Though all it did was annoy him.

"I’m going to do something mean again if you don’t listen to me," he warned.

I ignore, pouting somewhat. He wouldn’t get the best of me in this matter.

"I don’t care!" I declared.

My words caused his grip on me to tighten, challenging irritated him.

"Oh... Well, then I’m glad you consented to this." Fenris snickered.

Before I realized it, I was in the air. He launched me upward to get me off his back. On the way back down, he swiftly caught me, pinning me in between the wall and himself. One of his hands held me up as the other ripped my stocking from my underwear.

My heart raced, worried anyone would be around, making the light breeze the least of my worries. Luckily, everyone was busy doing other things than coming through this alley. The sky was devoid of any light, too.

No one could look in here and see us unless they were a vampire. They had great eyesight at night.

"Fenris... No... Someone will really hear us here." I worried.

He unbuckled his belt once again.

Just what did I get myself into?

I knew this wolf was insatiable. Though with him, the cold was not even a worry. His skin radiated heat, much as a heater did.

"Well, maybe you should’ve gotten off when I told you to." Fenris pointed out.

I gripped his shirt tightly.

"No... Why didn't you take me back? You’ll get into trouble too!" I tried to persuade him, but once he had a goal in mind.

He would not relent. I loved that part about him, too.

"Liam will make an excuse for me. And for you... Well, you’ve been behaving like such a good girl for these past years. That I’m sure they think you’re in your room." He murmured into my ear.

His breath brushed against it, causing me to shiver. With one swift movement, he moved aside my hindering clothes. I gasped when he slipped himself into me.

"And for not taking you back. I want you to see how the world has moved on. And how you should, too." He added, licking my neck.

By the gods, I’m nothing more than a plaything for him.

Not that I minded.

"Then show me!" I whimpered, feeling filled by him again.

In response, Fenris’s heat went into my walls fully. My legs tensed up when he slowly thrust himself into me at a steady pace.

"Too late for that now. You’ll have to please me first. Hold your voice if you don’t want unwanted eyes to look our way." He teased, knowing full well I couldn’t.

The sensations that he sent through my body were too much for me to contain. I was addicted to this feeling, though. To him.

"Fenris!" I whined, grasping at him.

My lack of control caused him to click his tongue. He didn’t expect me to be so loud. There was a peaceful solution, though. Feverishly, he kissed me, to quiet me. I didn’t mind his attempt to silence me.

However, we were in public and that alone caused my nerves to run wild. Thanks to what he was doing to me, I didn’t notice the bracelet's failure to respond to my growing instability. It was the first time it had failed to suppress them.

Unaware of my turmoil, Fenris separated himself from our kiss, only to trail down my neck. Before thrusting himself deep within me. It caused me to whine again. This time, though, I bit into his shirt soon after, trying to muffle the mewls that spurred out of me.

"Lily... Don't squeeze me like this. I don’t know if I can control myself if you do this to me." Fenris panted lewdly in my ear.

Just who’s at fault here!? You aren’t even trying to control yourself in the first place!

Annoyance swelled as the bracelet continued to malfunction. In response to his tease, I yanked him into another kiss. Triggering him to hum happily. He continued to send ways of pleasure through my body.

Moments before our release, he stopped, pulling away from my lips. Something had caught his attention, and I wasn’t me.
