(24) Found Her

Author Pov

Yuri stood still, contemplating whether to help Hoshi or not. She knew very well that they were just obsessed mafia guys, but it wouldn't be right to ignore the good things they had done for her—saving her from those bad men and providing her with shelter, food, and many other things.

She decided to help Hoshi. She went to the bathroom, filled a mug with water, and wet a small towel. She gently placed the cool cloth on his forehead. Hoshi's thoughts were consumed by Yuri. The smell of his favorite shampoo on her was drawing him in, making it hard for him to focus on anything else.

He gently held her wrist and pulled her into his lap. Yuri was startled as he looked at her with an intensity that made her heart race. He pulled her closer, his mouth near her neck, inhaling deeply. "I like the way you smell like me, my little cub," he murmured against her skin, his voice a mixture of tenderness and possession.

This was the first time Yuri felt something stir within her. Her body heated up, and his breath on her neck sent goosebumps through her entire being. She let out a breath, her resistance waning, and found herself leaning into him. When he placed a gentle kiss on her neck, she closed her eyes, a mix of fear and unexpected desire making her heart race even more. For a moment, she accepted the warmth and the strange comfort it brought, feeling a connection she couldn't quite understand.

Seeing her reaction and leaning towards him for more made him smirk. He slid his hands under her T-shirt, over her stomach, and caressed it gently. The warmth of his hands brought her comfort, easing the pain that had been bothering her for the past half hour.

Hoshi's touch was surprisingly tender, and Yuri couldn't help but relax into him, her initial resistance fading. His hands moved in slow, soothing circles, and she found herself melting into his embrace. For the first time in a long while, she felt a strange sense of safety, even if it was from someone she knew she should be wary of.

Just then Hoshi started leaning towards her lips. Yuri felt his grip tighten around her stomach and his warm breath near her mouth. Her eyes widened as she realized what was happening. Panic set in, and she put her hands on his chest to push him away. Hoshi's eyes darkened, and for a moment, it seemed like he might pounce on her like a hungry tiger.

But then his eyes softened. He grabbed her wrists and gently removed her hands from his chest. "relax cub," he whispered, pulling her closer and laying down on the bed with her in his arms. Yuri tried to wiggle free, but his grip was too strong.

"Stay still," he murmured, his voice a mixture of command and reassurance. "I'm not going to hurt you my little cub. Atleast not for now" He held her close, his body radiating warmth and security, though Yuri's mind raced with conflicting thoughts and emotions.

Yuri stopped wiggling, feeling Hoshi's warm breath on her neck as he continued to caress her tummy. The soothing sensation eased her discomfort, and despite her initial panic, she found herself relaxing into his embrace. It was the comfort she needed right now, and she couldn’t deny it. Her eyes grew heavy, and sleep began to pull her under. She heard Hoshi speaking softly, but her tiredness made his words indistinguishable.

Hoshi, feeling her smooth, milky skin under his touch, was calmed by her presence. His monster within him was tamed for now, though he ached for more. He whispered into her ear, his voice tender but with a hint of possessiveness, "I will never force you or have you without your consent. But know this, little cub—there aren’t many days left before you’ll crave me. And when that time comes, you’ll come to me and ask for it yourself."

As Yuri drifted off to sleep in his arms, Hoshi’s gaze softened, a complex mix of desire and protectiveness reflected in his eyes.
