The Demon's Mate [Meliodas]

04

Y/N's P.O.V

Adam wakes me up by nudging me, I stir and look at him, "Sorry..." I sit up feeling better after the chill spell I suddenly had a few days ago after my recent bathe in the forest. Meliodas has been on my mind, his emerald green eyes burning into my mind, day or night, he's there like a curse I cannot get rid of and for some reason, I don't want to. It's been weeks since he last came here, Adam has calmed down and so has Hime.

"<There's a spring nearby, it's always warm so it'll keep you for getting that chill again. Let me take you there>" Adam tells me.

"You mean a hot spring?" I question tilting my head looking at him.

"<Not really, it's never hot enough to turn skins red>," Adam says and he stands up then walks. Adam looks back and gestures with his head for me to follow.

I stand up and walk after him towards the water spring with a waterfall. I look around and smile, "It's beautiful," I look around in awe.

"<If you need me call me>," Adam says before walking off back to the cave.

I nod, kneeling down and dips my hand into the water. I feel my arm come up in goosebumps as I feel the warm water touch my cold skin. I stand up and remove the father close dropping it on the floor. 

I look behind me with a hear a noise and see a tiny rabbit-like creature hopping past, "I'm in a forest, course there'll be more animals that the wolves," I mutter to myself and roll my eyes at my worries then turn away and carry one removing my clothes. 

I step into the water and lean back a little in the warm water. I sigh in satisfaction tilting my head back looking at the dark sky, "I wonder if father and mother are okay..." I close my eyes and sit up, "Why do I care about my mother, she's the one who didn't care enough about me."

I start washing my body and I hear rustles behind me in the bushes, I turn to see a bit of blonde hair, "What are you doing?!" I yell and my eyes turn icey blue.

He looks at me with a smirk, "Oops I've been caught," he says with a mischievous tint in his eyes.

"Do you normally just intrude on women who are naked?!" I snap, "It's really inconsiderate of you to do something like that!"

Meliodas walks over and looks at her, "Pardon?"

"It's rude that you have been watching me bathe, no matter your title!" I look at him and I watch his eyes travel down. I follow his gaze down and I see my boobs on full display.

I quickly covered myself, my face burning in embarrassment. He chuckled, "Not bad," Meliodas chuckles darkly and walks out from the bushes looking at him with his black demonic eyes and his black crest on his forehead, "So, it was your mother who told you to go?" He asks crouching down beside my clothes.  He picks up my lace underwear and looks at them, "Very flattering," He smirks as he looks at me, "How's the water?"

"Prince Meliodas, please don't touch my underwear," I say looking at him ignoring his question.

"Meliodas," He says.

"Pardon?" I tilt my head.

"My name is Meliodas, my title is Prince," He says and smirks, "Since it doesn't matter my title with you, then it's Meliodas."

"I know that..." I roll my eyes, "Why are you back here?"

Meliodas stands up and puts my laced underwear in his pocket with a smirk on his face, "The water seemed nice so I thought I'd join you," He winks and begins removing his clothes, his eyes staring back into mine almost like he is daring me to keep on watching him strip.

I turn around from him with my arms still covering my breasts a little, "T...The water is alright," I finally answer him.

I hear clothing drop onto the ground and I soon feel the water shift, "I won't have you arrested if you look at me," He says and I feel his body heat almost touching mine, "What are you doing here? Alone and naked without Adam around?" He asks and suddenly says groping my boobs.

I turn and dunk his head underwater, I hold his down there for a while with my eyes icey blue. I look down, gasp as I remember who it is I'm holding under the water. I let go of him quickly and move back quickly panicking.

Meliodas rises glaring at me, "What the fuck did you think you were doing?!" He snaps at her and goes to her.

"I...I'm sorry!" I cover myself looking down as my eyes turn back to E/C.

"Get dressed, you're coming with me," He orders me getting out of the water.

"What?" I look at him confused frowning, "I don't think so Sir," I shake my head.

"Are you defying my order?" He turns back to look at me glaring.

"Of course not, I need to know why you suggested that I go with you," I say looking at him confused.

"Didn't you ask me to come and find you and come get you?" Meliodas asks with a smirk as my eyes widen, "That's right Y/N, I'm the one you've been talking to."

"You're lying, it's not you. I'd know if it was you! You're lying to me," I accuse him.

"You're stuck in my head like I'm stuck in yours. Just get out of the water before you become a wrinkled prune," He rolls his eyes and begin drying his body then dresses, he looks back at me, "Come on."

"Alright, alright," I look at him, "Please turn around," I say softly and he does as I ask then I get out of the spring. I dry my body and get ready before steady up straight, I turn around to see Meliodas looking at me, "Can I have my underwear?"

"No, mine now," Meliodas starts to walk away, "Let's go," he says but I don't move, he turns to me, "What now?"

"My stuff... I can't leave them... My books... I need to tell Adam," I start and he sighs dragging his hand through his hair.

"Alright, fine," He says and walks to me, "But if your damn wolf guardian tries to attack me again, it'll be the last time he ever moves."

"I understand," I say and nod then start walking, "Are you sure that you weren't thinking you heard my voice?" I ask.

"You're calling me a liar again?!" He snaps and suddenly pushes me up against a tree, "You're hearts are racing, faster than usual since I arrived and they sped up ever more since I touched you. Shall I do it again?" He asks as his left-hand hovers over my left breast and his right hand holding my wrists.

"No, no... I'm not calling you a liar Meliodas, promise," I shake my head quickly.

"Don't shake your head that fast, it'll fall off," He chuckles and steps back releasing me.

I walk on to the cave, "Don't panic, he won't do anything... That would risk upsetting me," I say to Adam and Hime as Meliodas stands at the entrance.

I feel his eyes on me as I pack my box again before it shrinks and I put it in my bra, "<What's going on Y/N?>"

"Meliodas is my..." I start and I think he understands, with how his eyes soften looking at Meliodas.

"<You going with him then?>" He asks and I nod, "<Need me...>"

"I'll call you," I walk to Meliodas and look up at him as he tucks some hair behind my ear, "Why show up now? When I've been calling you for ages?"

"Needed to make sure the castle was suitable for you," He says in like a duh tone, "Come on," He says and starts walking so I follow behind me, "You can walk beside me," He glances behind him to me and I quicken my pace a little to catch up to him as we walk to the castle.
