Not just pretend

"Look Skylar, have you ever thought about becoming more than the parents of a kid who isn't ours," Leo said calmly. "Sometimes I do but, there's no body who'd want to marry me or let me have their kids," I replied sadly. "Well let me take you somewhere I want to show you something," Leo responded. I nodded my head and put the baby in her crib and watched as Leo took my hand and lead my into the forest.

When we stepped into the forest Leo put a blindfold on my eyes to keep me from seeing what was happening. As we walked into the forest, I heard the sound of water from a distance. "Hey listen to the sound of my voice ok," Leo said calmly. I nodded my head and continued walking. When we finally stopped the sound of a waterfall was right beside us. I was a little bit terrified at what would happen, but I couldn't figure out what to do.

When Leo let go of my hand that's when I got really nervous. "Take off the blindfold," Leo said a little hesitantly. As I took off the blindfold, I realized that Leo was on his knee with a ring in his hand. I gasped at the sight. "Oh Leo," I said softly. "Skylar would you please marry me," he said calmly. "Yes, I will," I replied with tears. As he got up off the ground, he put the ring on my finger and gave me a kiss.

I knew in my heart he was the one for me as I was the one for him. "I don't mind being your wife it's just I have one question," I said softly. "What is it," he said concerned. "You don't want kids do you," I said softly. "Well, I mean it's your choice or not," he replied feeling a little better. "After all its you who has to carry the child," he said trying to make it seem like he didn't want me to have one. "I want a child. One who's actually mine and not someone else's," I replied

"Well maybe we can later, considering we just got married," Leo said calmly. I nodded my head and gave him a kiss. "Leo," I said. "Yes?" he responded softly. "What animal are you?" I asked curiously. "Promise you won't get scared," he said hesitantly. "I promise," I said calmly. He sighed and closed his eyes. As I watched his clothes turn into a royal outfit with the shirt open in the front his eyes went from being blue to purple rather quickly. His hair turned black, and he grew taller. I stepped back a little to give him more room.

I stared as his teeth had pointier fangs. He opened his eyes to see my reaction after he transformed. "I'm not an elf I'm a black gemmed leopard. It's also one of the more powerful monsters," he said in a deeper voice. I couldn't think straight. As I looked him up and down, I realized that he was now 7'8 and he had more of an athletic body. "Is the view good," he said teasingly. I hadn't even finished looking at him before he picked me up.

"Can you swim?" He said excitedly. "I can sometimes," I replied. He threw me into the water and followed shortly after. The water was quite cold yet with him in my view I couldn't see anything wrong. "Is there anything else I should know about you Leo?" I said curiously. "I'm the prince of the clan. And I can also turn into a leopard at will," he said in a modest tone.

"Skylar you should really take your dress off, so you have something to wear," he said softly. I nodded my head and began untying the strands of cloth on my back. Leo took off his jacket while I took off my dress. I felt a little nervous I mean after all I was just in my bra and panties. Both of those were rather thin. "Look don't worry I won't touch you in a way you don't want to be touched," he said calmly.

I felt the water warm up and his hands on my shoulders. "I love you Skylar," he whispered in my ear. "I love you too Leo," I whispered back. As he sat down in the water, I leaned back to lay on him. In the process I accidentally sat on his lap. I squealed a little before getting up. He sighed in relief when I got up from his lap. "Please don't do that," he said with a little hesitation. "And why not," I said teasingly as I sat back down on his lap. "Because it's mating season for us," he replied quickly and pushed me off.

"You're joking right?" I said hesitantly. He shook his head and got out of the water. He put on his jacket and transformed back into the 6'3 elf I thought I knew. "Leo, why do you hide your true form," I said curiously. "Because queen Rose doesn't like my clan at all," he replied softly. "Oh," I replied. "It's okay though," he said trying to reassure me. As I got out of the water, I put my dress back on and we started walking back to the castle.

I never knew this side to Leo before. I almost wanted him all to myself. Although I couldn't get the view of his body out of my head. I mean the thought of it said enough. His face looked more like he was thinking about something else. As I grabbed his hand, he seemed to be at ease a little more. Just then he pulled my body closer to his and continued walking. "Leo, I know you said we should wait a while but, I can't help but think we could continue doing something that wouldn't be bad," I said softly. "I'll think about it," he said in a colder tone. However, in the tone he said it in that made me feel a little un easy. When we reached the doors of the castle, we realized that the castle had changed rather quickly.
