Beastmen Date 1

I try to brush my hair as best as possible with my fingers, "Comac, are you sure you can handle the wolf pups while I'm gone?"

He nods. "Don't worry, we will be fine. Besides, it gives me practice for when we have pups."

I smile and give him a passionate kiss. "I'll be back later." I take one last look as I leave the house and he waves goodbye. I take a deep breath and walk to the marketplace.

Once I get there, I look around nervously. I only know that his name is Derek. His mother and I set up the date. After a while young boy comes up to me with a Small white flower in his hand, I kneel. "Hello."

He waves at me and puts the flower in my hair. He blushes and runs off quickly.

I stand up and gently touch the flower, the petals are soft.

All the other males in the market see this and start crowding around me, wanting to be my spouse. With all of them talking at the same time, I can barely hear myself think.

Suddenly someone grabs my arm and pulls me through the crowd.

I look up and it is a tall tan man with spikey red hair pulling me away.

We travel through many side streets and alleys. He pulls me into an alley and pushes me against the wall. My hands are on his chiseled chest, his lips are inches from mine. Our eyes lock and his are a reddish brown, he also has an eye patch made of vines. His breath caresses my neck tickling it.

My face heats up as the now small crowd runs by us.

We stay like that for a bit longer until he finally says something. " Hi, this is an interesting first impression, yeah?"

" Hi, yeah. " I feel out of breath as he stands up straight. My heart races as I take a deep breath.

" So, I'm Derek. And you're Fae I assume? " He crosses his

arms.

I nod "Yeah, how did you know?" I ask curiously.

He looks me up and down. " I don't know, you just seem out of place. Although my mom said you were the most beautiful female she's ever seen."

"Thanks?" I'm not sure how to respond to that.

"Okay." He places a hand on the wall behind me and get's close once more. "I only have one question for you." He looks at me with lustful eyes.

My knees want to give out and they're visibly shaking. I don't know how warm it is out here, but I feel like I'm sweating.

He notices my legs shaking and smirks. "That's cute, I think I could make it worse if you let me."

My face turns red as he backs away.

"You're easily flustered, should probably fix that or you'll have every male at your feet unless that's what you want."

Before I can object he changes into a lion. "Let's go, we're burning daylight."

I sigh and get onto his back. "Where are we going?"

"The meadows, I thought you'd love it." He jumps onto the rooftops and runs at full speed.

"What are you doing?" I ask frantically.

He laughs as he jumps and runs from each building to the next

We get to the edge of the city and run through fields of grain and rice. Some of what I assume is the Sheep Clan watch as we go by.

"The fields are bigger them I thought."

"That's not the only big thing out here." I can hear

the smile in his voice.

"What do you mean by - " I gasp. I want to hit him for that but it was kinda funny. "You are so immature, you know that?"

" I have my moments."

I roll my eyes.

Eventually, we get to a clearing that is nothing but grass and beautiful wildflowers.

"This is beautiful, I love it, " I can't help but stare.

"It's pretty but there's something prettier."

"Oh? And what's that? " I ask gently touching a flower.

He stays silent.

I look up and he's staring at me. I squint a little. " " Do you mean that? Or are you being sarcastic again?"

He chuckles. "I'm being serious, you are prettier than this meadow. How is it you don't have every male eating out of your hand?"

"It's simple, I don't see males as playthings like everyone else. I'll treat you right if you treat me right."

"Hm." He seems surprised by that answer. "Follow me."

We walk into the tall grass and lay in it. It's almost soft as a blanket. We watch the clouds slowly roll by and play twenty questions with each other. It's nice, almost like seeing a movie.

The sun is setting and he takes me home.

"I hope you enjoyed yourself." His cheeks turn a light shade of pink.

"I did have fun, maybe can do it again sometime?"

His ears park up. "Yeah?"

I nod. "Thank you, before you go I need to tell you something."

He bends down to hear me and I kiss him on the cheek.

His face almost matches his hair.

"Good night Derek." I enter my house and leave him with his thoughts.
