The Wicked Luna

Twenty

Unexpectedly Caysons hand finds my hip.

It settles there innocently before digging in, pulling me closer to him. I breathe in sharply as my chest makes contact with his. My hand lays splayed on his chest and I feel the uneven beating of his heart. His lips leave mine nuzzling their way to my neck.

Delicately they pepper on my skin,  while his hands pull at my hips. His kisses were featherlight, so faint that they were like whispers. My body shudders in pleasure making me lean closer into his warm chest.

The world around us began to slowly disappear as my main focus was on him. The kiss was small and seemingly innocent. Like a pair of high school lovers kissing for the first time. Still no matter how innocent this really was it felt intimate and electrifying. My body was on fire and every touch from his lips made a ripple of heat spread. The radiant warmth slowly spreading like wild fire.

I rest my hand on the back of his neck, gently running my fingers through his silky locks. The kiss seemed to not last enough as we suddenly part. I groan and open my eyes visibly pouting. I expect him to playfully smirk or roll his eyes but a much different reaction happens. He is staring at me in confusion and I cock my eyebrow questioning him.

"Why are you-...."
"Shh" he says quickly cutting off my words.

My eyebrows furrow together and out of the corner of my eye I see a movement. My body slightly freezes and I pull away from Caysons chest.

"What is it?" I hiss.
"I hear someone growling, I think they are shifted."

His words bring a heavy pounding to my heart. Goosebumps rise on my arms and I grab his wrist. If we had to run I was ready. In the quiet of the golden hallway I hear what Cayson claimed. The raspy heavy breathes of a creature close by. My hand trembles as I bring it up to my mouth, silencing my panicked breathing.

"I'm going to look" I finally say locking my eyes with Caysons.

He nods his head grabbing my hand and squeezing. I sharply inhale preparing for the worst. I then crane my neck looking down the golden hallway.

Preparing for the worst has always been a strong suit of mine.

Standing at the end with barred teeth and raging red eyes is a monster. A monster worse than me. Blood is pooled around the demon and I see his black fur is also matted with the scarlet liquid. Gently the devils black paw steps forward a monsterous growl rippling across the wall. I bare my teeth back, extending my claws and snarling at the creature.

He slightly cocks his head before evilly grinning. His razor sharp teeth directed towards me. Ready to sink into my flesh and rip me into parts at any second. I spin on my heel pushing Cayson forward in any direction. Any direction to escape the beast that has killed countless innocents, including my parents.

So Cayson and I take turns tugging each other down the halls. Desperate to survive the beast that had an intent to slaughter us both.

------------------------------------------------

"This way!" I yell shoving us both towards an outside balcony.

Cayson doesn't reply but helps me out shutting the glass doors behind us. The beast growls fiercely as he sees the brief barrier between us. His scarlet colored eyes stare at me hotly and he snaps at the glass, staining a portion of it with the blood on his muzzle.
