King of the Woods

Part 18

After that whole ordeal, I am curious about something. "Hey, Aakil...would you actually kill me?" He stops walking as we were walking in the park, but he is in front of me. He turns around to face me. 

"Kaaya, if I ever wanted to kill you, which I don't, I don't have the physical capability to do so. Its not even possible hurt you on purpose." Woah. That got deep quickly. 

"What if I hurt you in the worst way possible?" Aakil seemed to ponder on the question.

 "It's in my nature to be dominant." That's it? I don't want to know how he would dominate me if I ever tried to hurt him. I shivered at our past encounter. 

While walking in the park (with Aakil moving all the trees and branches out of our way), we could see the sky start to darken. Yay, its gonna rain! I know I am weird, actually liking the rain, but what can I say. The rain lightens up my mood. We hear thunder, but we are way too far from our home as we walked too far. Aakil grabs my hand and starts running toward somewhere. I guess this is what he means, he's so dominant that he won't even tell us where we are going before actually go...

Slightly annoyed, I follow him into a cave? Where did a random cave come from? Oh well...I guess he doesn't like the rain. I frown. Unfortunately, he notices and calls me out on it. "Well, its just I love the rain, but you don't seem to like it..." He raises an eyebrow. 

"Who said that?" 

"Um, well you wouldn't drag me into a cave if you liked it, would you?" He smirks. 

"Mate, that's so you don't get sick." Okay, I get that he cares about me, but I am not a completely weak human. Humans can be strong too! 

You know what? I am going to prove him wrong! I quickly take off my sandals and run outside of the cave. I can hear Aakil yelling after me. Then I hear a growl. Oh no. I run faster and by this time, it's pouring. I stop and look up. It's so refreshing! Honestly, I don't get why people don't like the rain! I look up and my hair elastic pops out, but I couldn't care less. I hear a low growl behind me. I turn around. 

Aakil is looking intently at me. No, not at my eyes, but at my body. I feel my cheeks heat up. Of course, it had to be today that I choose my almost transparent white shirt and black bra. I guess it wasn't helping that the rain also accentuated my shorts on my curves. Thanks a lot rain. Aakil is still checking me out ever so slowly. Can he seriously stop....he basically eye raped at least 5 times. Finally, his eyes meet mine and suddenly his face is 2 inches from mine. 

His hand firmly takes my jaw and he brings his face up to mine and kisses me. I can feel his hands wrap around my waist and pull me closer. I trace his arms and his hold tightens. Too long! I gasp and pull away, taking in gulps of air greedily. I look into his eyes and see pure love shining in them. I shyly look away. This has been on bucket list for sometime: kissing in the rain <3 

I look around everywhere, but his face. He brings my face inches away from his again. "What are you looking at?" He asks with jealously? 

"Oh, um...the swings behind you!" I point at them. 

"Could we please go?" I ask sweetly. Aakil looks at me suspiciously before nodding and picking me up bridal style.

 "Hey! You know I could walk right!?" I say hastily. He smirks. "I know." 

He puts me down on one and sits down on the other. The rain is still pouring, but its so fun to swing on them! I swing really high and laugh and I could feel piercing eyes staring me down.

 "I love seeing her smile." Aakil says in a deep, low voice, assuming I couldn't hear. But, I heard. He says something else this time, but louder. 

"You know this is technically the first time we showered together, right?" He asks cockily. "Um. If we were taking a shower together, why would we still have our clothes?" I ask all haughty. Crap. Wrong phrasing Kaaya. 

"Ok, then let's have an official first shower. If you know what I mean." He winks at me and I smack his arm, blushing. I am an idiot, totally fell into that one. I get up the swing. 

"If you do anything like that again, I won't let you touch me for 2 weeks!" I start walking, swinging my hips in the process. I could feel him staring. 

"I am sorry! Sorry! Please forgive me!" He says with a pout. OMG. So cute! One second, he's acting all alpha and now he's pouting!

 "Aw! You're so cute!" I pinch his cheeks. For once, instead of acting all dominant, he just raises his eyebrow. 

2 hours after dancing in the rain, it suddenly stops. Now it's my turn to pout. Aakil looks at me and then looks at the sky. 

"Look up." He says. I look and see a beautiful sight before my eyes. We are in the middle of a forest area in the park and I could see the curtain of stars. It remind of the last time we saw the stars. But, this time they shine even brighter than that night. 

They glow like gemstones shining in the darkest of nights. I like seeing this many stars at night, it reminds how small I am and how small my problems are. 

I feel Aakil's breath tickle my ear. "To you, I would give all the stars in the world." My face heats  up. I feel like this is where I should say something. 

"Um...I think that you are more handsome than the stars." I blurt out softly. Then, my eyes widen as realize what I said. Before I could say anything else, he looks at me and covers my mouth. 

"More handsome? Than the stars? You think the stars are handsome!? I am going to add more people...er things on my kill list. Mate, I am not more handsome, I am the most handsome! Right?" I am about blurt something that he wouldn't like to hear back at him, but he gives me a warning stare. I cover my giggle behind my hand and continue to look up. I then feel a possessive hand wrap around my waist. And I thought he was kidding.

Ugh. Possessive monster mates. So annoying.
