First Date

In the morning Ivaylo was awoken by the first sun rays tickling his cheeks. Looking ahead at the messed up bed and clothes lying around on the ground. He was pressing Paetyn against his chest, with his arms wrapped all around her.

She lay there, facing him, cuddled up to his body and holding for dear life onto his fluffy tail. His happiness was literally palpable. Paetyn slowly opened her eyes and raised her face to his with a tender smile.

Ivaylo's heart dropped, he spotted the bruise on her neck peeking from underneath her hair. He gently brushed the hair strain to the side, so he could get a better look at it. By chance, the cover got pulled down a little, and to his shock, her body had more bruises.

He began to shake, sitting up and ripped off the blanket from her body completely. She was covered in fresh blue spots. "Did I do that?!" Panic sank in. Paetyn covered parts of her body out of shyness and just casually looked over her limps. She acted so unbothered, that it brought chills to Ivaylo. "I am fine, don't worry."

The feeling of guilt didn't leave Ivaylo cold. "I hurt you! How can you stay so calm?!" She inched closer to him but he retreated. Ivaylo didn't want to touch her right now. She reached out with her hand. "Nothing was broken, twisted or dislocated. A few bruises don't bother me."

What did she have to go through, that made her so unpleasantly cold toward her physical state? Ivaylo still avoided her. He was afraid of inflicting more pain or injuries. Paetyn sighed and just jumped into his arms kissing him and taking him by surprise with that. "I want to be held right now!" How could he refuse such a request? He hugged her lightly, so he would avoid any more bruises.

Some red stains on the sheets caught his attention. He went quiet again. Paetyn noticed his gaze being fixated not on her and she turned. She instantly felt awkward and burrowed her face into his chest, flustered. Ivaylo tilted his head down. "You were...?!" Slowly nodding her head, not letting out any sound...

If he knew, he would try his best not to go so rough on her. Frustrated he rested his chin on the top of Paetyns head. "Why don't you tell me things? I don't want to cause you any pain..." Paetyn squeezed his torso. "You don't! It's just a little discomfort but I almost don't notice it. So don't beat up yourself for it. Promise me that."

Ivaylo brought her face to his and kissed her. "I should redeem myself by taking you on a lush date. What do you think?!"  Her eyes went wandering to the side. Was it a good idea to go out together into the public?

Ivaylo knew, what was on her mind. "Don't worry! I will be there to protect you." He pressed his forehead against hers and then rubbed his nose against Paetyn's. It came time for Ivaylo to abuse his money and status!

Paetyn got dressed elegantly and he took her in his car to the city center into an expensive restaurant, high in the clouds. The whole time different eyes followed them. Ivaylo was proudly holding her hand and leading her through the streets and pathways inside the building.

Murmurs were nonstop surrounding them everywhere they went. Paetyn felt uneasy, but Ivaylo always assured her by squeezing her hand, that it was okay. At the entrance of the restaurant Ivaylo stood in front of her and Paetyn was hiding behind him, her face pointing down to the ground.

The worker didn't spot her at first but then got shocked, as she walked past him. Paetyn could feel his animalistic glare on her back. The same situation continued inside. Everybody was staring and glaring from all around, and also from the nearby tables. Paetyn felt uncomfortable and Ivaylo just looked around glaring back and growling. Those Beastmen got startled and shocked averting their eyes away.

The furniture size didn't help much either. It was too tall. They got seated by the staff at the window with a beautiful view over the whole city. She sat up into the chair with Ivaylo's help but the table was also too high. He chucked it off and instead, he sat her down in his lap, lovingly gazing into her eyes.

The Beastman audience just watched and held their breaths waiting for what he will do next. "Don't pay attention to them. It will soon become boring to them. Just look at me instead." Caressing her cheek with the back of his hand. Paetyn pressed into Ivaylo's chest with her back.

He continued to whisper sweet words into her ears until their dinner was served. Ivaylo raised his arms along her sides and began to cut the meat into tiny pieces, later slowly feeding them to Paetyn. The Beastmen all around were appalled. Gasping out of outrage. Of course, Ivaylo noticed it and side-eyed them to shut up.

Everybody knew, who he was. The successful son of a highly respectable and prestige Beastman family. But why he fooled around, with a human woman? It was like he was provoking them, intentionally calling for a scandal. Is the younger Beastman generation getting a kick out of it, to show off their kinks in public? How horrible!

Ivaylo brushed those murmurs away. He didn't care, he wished for a brighter future together with Paetyn, where the acceptance of their relationship will grow. While pampering Paetyn his mind was blown to his parents and grandparents. He will need to face them soon.

Paetyn took the fork out of his hand and started to feed him. She was already full and he hadn't eaten yet. Hapilly taking munch after much he wagged his tail IN PUBLIC! The new Ivaylo didn't care about showing his emotion to the world. He wanted for everybody to see... He was happy!

After the dinner, they ended up in Kay's bar where they were welcomed also by Marsh.
