Lorenzo opened the door to his apartment, taking off his work shoes and setting his things down on the entry table. As soon as he walked into the living room, he smiled as he pushed open the door to the bedroom and saw his beloved mate, stretched out across the bed.

Lorenzo knew that Aki had always been a fool for new clothing, so he wasn't surprised to see him wearing something new and interesting. Yet, Lorenzo couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw Aki in what could only be described as a skintight, revealing outfit.

His dark eyes widened when he saw his mate in the white, tight outfit as he would have never thought that Aki would wear an outfit like this. The leggings hugged his delicate legs and thighs along with the cute little collar and bow on his neck. Though Lorenzo knew the outfit was meant to be attractive, he was unsure if Aki understood exactly what it was. The outfit was far too sexy and provocative for a small neko like Aki, and Lorenzo wanted to make sure he stayed safe.

"What is this?" Lorenzo asked, crossing the room to stand by the bedside. His eyes trying not to look down at what was being exposed and revealed to him.

Aki blinked up at him with his innocent amber eyes. "It's so pretty," was all he said, snuggling further into his strange new clothing. Aki, oblivious to the fact of what he was wearing, merely smiled at Lorenzo in greeting.

Lorenzo tried to contain his surprise at the tight-fitting attire and turned his head away as he cleared his throat. He tried to compose himself as he felt his wolf stirring within him, telling him to pin his mate on the bed and take him.

"I mean... What's this you're wearing?"

"O-Oh, this," Aki said, gently tugging at the suit. "I-It's just something I saw while I was window-shopping. It was too cute to pass up, so I thought l'd s-surprise you with it. D-Do you not like it?"

Lorenzo's heart swelled as he began to fix his buttoned shirt. Aki always tried his best to please him, even if it meant stepping out of his comfort zone. He knew he couldn't let his wolf's desires overshadow Aki's intentions. He took a deep breath, trying to push aside the overwhelming urge to claim his mate.

"Aki, it's a beautiful outfit," he admitted, his voice surprisingly gentle.

"I just don't want others to get the wrong idea. It's not that it doesn't look good on you. It's just..."

Aki looked up at his mate as he turned his head to the side. He nervously fumbled with his hands as he looked at Lorenzo's dark eyes. He was the only person who would see this, and they were the only people in the apartment, who else would see it?

Lorenzo felt his wolf rising inside of him, its instincts demanding to claim what was rightfully theirs. He took a couple of deep breaths to compose himself, trying his best to ignore the voice in his head that wanted to take what was being so openly offered to him. Lorenzo could barely contain the raw desire racing through him and chose his words carefully.

"Well, I don't think it's appropriate for you to be wearing it around the house. You don't even know what it's for..."

Lorenzo couldn't help but blush at the thought of Aki finding out what the suit was being used for. Did he at least not see a picture of what it looked like on, and what it would do to anyone to saw it on someone else?

Aki's eyes widened, and he bit his lower lip nervously. "O-Oh... U-Um..." he mumbled, his voice barely audible. Aki slowly began to rub his arm as he stood there, his cheeks flushed with embarrassment as he felt his cat tail start to twitch. He felt his body getting hot as he saw Lorenzo's eyes hungrily devour his petite figure. The skintight, revealing outfit accentuated every single curve making it impossible for Lorenzo to ignore the primal desire that surged within him.

Lorenzo suppressed a growl of frustration as he tried to think of how to address the situation. In the end, he decided the best option was to be gentle. Lorenzo closed the distance between them, his large hand gently cupping Aki's flushed cheek.

"Aki," he said softly, cupping Aki's chin in his warm hand, "this outfit is too much for you. I want you to take it off and put it away, okay?"

Aki blushed at the request but did as he was told. He frantically nodded, a hint of embarrassment in his eyes. "O-Oh, o-okay. I'm sorry... I-I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable..."

With that, he quickly made his way to the bedroom to change. Lorenzo followed after him, making sure Aki didn't slip the suit back on. Once in the bedroom, Aki quickly removed the outfit, folding it neatly, and setting it back inside its box. He picked out another outfit and chose to wear it. His cat ears perked up when he heard Lorenzo enter the bedroom and sit on their bed, waiting for him.

Aki still felt a little embarrassed and stored the box behind a pile of his clothes as he tried to reduce the blush on his face.

"Are you done, my love?"

Aki's body jumped up when he heard his mate's voice, and he quietly mumbled back his response as he turned around to see that his mate was now looking at him.

He crawled onto the comforter, snuggling up against Lorenzo's chest. "There, much better," Lorenzo said, relishing in the feeling of having Aki safe in his arms. He placed a kiss atop his head and hugged him close. He could feel Aki's tail gently sway as his cat ears wiggled.

He pulled Aki into a gentle embrace, looking into his light amber eyes. He then leaned in and kissed him passionately, wanting to make sure that he understood that for now, the suit would remain off-limits.

As the kiss broke, Lorenzo felt Aki melting into him. He chuckled and smiled reassuringly, giving Aki a gentle squeeze before letting him go.

Aki cuddled closer to him and yawned. "I love you," he murmured sleepily.

Lorenzo smiled and pressed another kiss to Aki's forehead. "I love you too," he said softly. He couldn't help but smile as he heard his mate purr in his embrace as his eyes drifted close.
