Protecting Genie

Chapter 15

Bunny's POV

It was long after landing in the warren that Genie fell asleep in my arms. Strange, she had so much energy when we left, guess everything finally caught up to her and she fell asleep from mental exhaustion.

Her arms were no longer around my neck; they were now folded gently over her stomach. Her head laid against my chest, her mouth open slightly. Her chest would rise and fall with every breath. Her hot breath against my fur was given me these strange shivers I've never felt before.

Is it wrong that I think she fits perfectly in my arms, as if they were made solely to hold her?

We finally made it back to the cabin, with a bit of maneuvering I was able to open the door without waking up the beaut in my arms. I did debate if I should dress her in her pajamas but I don't think she'd be happy with me in the morning. I still remember when Jack saw her naked, and she was mad as a cut snake.

Instead, I just settled her down onto her bed and pulled the sheets over her. I was about to walk away until I found myself suddenly studying her features more intensely; I'm a fruit loop to do this but at this moment, I don't care.

Her skin is so white and it felt so light against my fur, meaning it was soft. Her cheeks had this slightly hue of red and her lips were a light pink. With her hair fanned out on the pillow, she looked like an angel, so spiffy.

Before I knew what I was doing, I had leaned closer and closer to her face until I was just inches away. Never noticed before that she smells like cherry blossoms, Jack did mention that's the perfume she likes to wear.

Jack knew a lot about her, since he was practically stalking her for while. Whenever he talked about her to me, I never listened before. It was so silly to me how he could be obsessed with a girl that would never see him.

I was wrong. Here I am, in love with her, and I still don't know much about her. It doesn't stop me from She suddenly let out a soft sign, making me back off in fear that she was waking up. I waited for while until I was sure that she was still asleep. Any closer and we would have kissed.

It was my one chance; I'll never have 'nother. Just one pash.

So what stopped me from making a blue? The thought of hurting them: Jack, my good mate, and Genie, his girlfriend. For now, the best thing for me to do is be away from her for a while.

So with that, I turned away from her and headed out; needing to clear my head.

It's silly for me to think anything could happen, she loves Jack and we're not even the same species.

I'm a pooka and she's a human.

Pookas, it's been a while since I've thought of my race. Things were a lot easier back then, not that I didn't love what I do now. But it'd be nice to have another pooka around to interact with.

It's been so long, I don't remember much of my family or my friends, and did I even have those? From what I remember, at young age, we are taken and trained to become warriors. It wasn't easy; those that didn't make it there were assigned to other things.

Of course, I was a natural and raised my rank in a short amount of time. It was so time consuming that I didn't think about things like love. Maybe that's why I'm feeling this way, it's a desire I've put off for so long.

Things had gone so good for my race that none of us saw what would happen next. One day, a mysterious figure had appeared in our village and without a word, started to whip us out one by one. I had been in charge of the main Calvary; we were the last resort if it got bad.

And it did get horrible.

My entire race was gone, in one day. I still remember lying on the ground, soaking in my own blood and the blood of my brethren; their eyes were void of life.
