Time Skip

Dakota yawns and blinks open his eyes, sharpening his blurry vision. Freya was looking down at him, her cheek resting against her palm, as it was her habit. Another arm was encircling his waist.

"Good morning, my love." She extends a greeting.

Dakota smiles softly and pushes himself up. "Good morning, Freya," he says as he stretches.

He then remembers he's naked and pulls his arms down to his chest, covering them. 'Damn it, I keep forgetting that she only lets me sleep naked.' He sighs inwardly...

"Mate, I've made you breakfast," Freya says next to him.

"Oh, thank you," he says to her.

He wondered when she had time to make breakfast. He was cuddling her in his sleep... Dakota shifts the sheets slightly as Freya gets out of bed.

He then lifts the covers and yelps as he looks down at himself..

"What's the matter, mate?" Freya asks as she reappears next to the bed, clutching a tray.

Dakota flicks the sheets that were covering him away, no longer caring. "F-Freya, look at me!" In shock, he screams.

Freya places the tray on the bed and carefully examines Dakota. "All I see, Mate, is your adorable human body." She goes on to explain.

Dakota blushes and shakes his head, looking down and squeezing his stomach. "F-Freya-" he groans, "My leg!"

He rises from his bed and spins around, his gaze fixed on himself. A tattoo ran from his hip to his side. It was a black dragon with a ring of fire around it.

How could this have happened?  Where did it come from in the first place? There's no way it just appeared out of nowhere?

Freya looks at it intently.

"Wh-where did it even come from?" Dakota mutters, perplexed.

Freya approaches him and glides a hand over the tattoo.. from his hips, all the way to his side.. he shivered at her warm touch.. "I wanted to leave my mark, for everyone to know who you belong to. I also wanted it to be a symbol that I will always be with you.... and it looks beautiful on you.."

Dakota flushes and turns to face Freya... "re-really?" He stutters. He didn't think he looked... bad... he knew he was just a plain looking guy...... but she thought he was beautiful?

"Of course you are mate... nothing in this world is more beautiful than you," Freya says with a nod.

Dakota's heart skips a beat as he stares her in the eyes. He couldn't hate the tattoo now... even if she placed it without his permission... but in the future, he'd have to explain to Freya that she needed to talk to him first before making decisions...

"t-thank you, Freya.... no one has ever said that to me before." He speaks, his tone low.

Freya reaches out and gently strokes his cheek. "Good... I'll be the only one who can see and compliment your beauty."
