To The Beast World

Chapter 9

"Cecilia, you need to wake up and eat," Curtis said near her ear in a bit low voice as he hugged her. "Umm," Cecilia mumbled as she opened her eyes. As she opened her eyes she could see Curtis with his smile. She blushed s she thought of their heated activity last night.

Curtis sat and took the meat and some fruits for her to eat.

The cave was a bit bright signifying that the sun is already high up.

Cecilia also sat as she sign due to her sour body. Curtis press her back lightly as she sat for a while before eating.

After eating she started walking toward the place where the water was and washed her face.

"I think I need to bathe. Let's go swimming in the lake." Cecilia said even though Curtis had cleaned her.

Curtis was happy to go for the swim as he could see where his mark is. Since he can't see it on her hands or legs. So it can only mean it is somewhere that is hidden by the cloth.

Hope came as he thought of the possibility that his mark may be near her heart.

But it was quickly extinguished as there has not been a single feral with had his mark on his female's heart and few lucky who had his mark somewhere which was not hands or legs. But his mood brightens up thinking he may be one of the lucky ones too.

Curtis took a wooden bowl with some weird plant that is used for washing and walked toward the lake with Cecilia.

As they reached the lake Curtis put the bowl and clothes on the stone on the surface of the water as the bowl floated.

Cecilia was untying the knot of the clothes but she could not ignore the hot eyes of Curtis who was looking at her every move.

"You should turn around while I take off my clothes." Cecilia said as she looked at Curtis.

" I have already seen every single part of your body. It doesn't matter if I look now or not." Curtis said as he still looked at her with the same gaze.

" No, You will turn around and it is final." Cecilia said as she still looked at him. Knowing Cecilia won't give up Curtis turn around as curiosity was torturing him.

As soon as he felt the movement in the water he tensed up.

Cecilia was coming near him.

Cecilia had already seen where the mark is with a smile she slowly went toward Curtis and touched his shoulder. " Where do you think the mark is?" Cecilia said in a small voice as she slowly traced his shoulder.

Without waiting for an answer she said," Turn around and close your eyes and open them when I tell you." Curtis turned around with his eyes close. Cecilia could see how nervous he was.

"Open them ." Cecilia said.

Cecilia's half-body was underwater with her upper body out. 

She had her hands in front of her chest as she covered her nipples.

 The Curtis mark was on her chest. 

Curtis make was a small red snake like him. 

It circled around her Left breast with his head on her Heart. 

It was on her chest in such as way that it looked like it could not let another tattoo on the place where her heart is.

Custis was ecstatic as he looked at his mark He quickly hugged her with a huge smile on his face.

Curtis was excited the whole day and he had a wide smile.

The night came soon.

Cecilia planned to spend the night outside near their cave to gaze at the star and sleep.

Cecilia was roasting the meat and Curtis was making clothes.

'I should tell him about finding another mate. This can't be delayed any longer. I feel like a scumbag telling a man who I had slept with last night about wanting another man.' Cecilia thought as she put the cooked meat in the leaf.

As she took the leaf and sat facing Curtis who was a bit far away from the fire She could see how happy he was. She could see his smile. 

'I can't do it. No, don't forget what you planned. Maybe I should tell him later just before we sleep.' Cecilia thought as she fought her thoughts in her mind.

 Curtis's smile was gone when he saw how Cecilia looked at him but he quickly recovered fast enough that Cecilia wasn't able to see. 

He knew what she was going to tell him. The expression of guilt, sadness, and determination.
