The Wolf and The Dragon (Book 2)

51 - Welcome

[Akita]

Lloyd flew with me in an elemental Dragon he can create with his power, but he is only able to do that here in his Realm. As we flew over Ninjago City I was breathtaking by the view, the city is so big and full of light.

He showed famous landmarks and places he lived before. We spent some time on the top of Borg's tower were twice he fought his father, we ended up making out there, I can't believe how good it feels to touch and be touched by him, I completely lost my control, again...

By the time we returned to the Monastery was late at night and almost everyone already had gone to sleep. Kim was at rooftop with Cole, apparently that is their spot. As soon as she saw us she came down to check on me, and told Lloyd off for taking me way for so long.

-"I am good, Kim, I promise, the fever is gone, and I am feeling great.'

-"ok... I am glad you are feeling good, a good night's sleep will do the rest. I will check on you tomorrow, to make sure you are fully recovered. Good Night...!"

She used her power to go back to the rooftop where Cole was still sitting.

-"Come Red, bedtime for your, before Kim tells me off again." Lloyd said dragging me inside.

As soon as we walked pass the living area we heard Kai.

-"Lloyd!" He shouted, and Lloyd stop to talk to him, and I slowly walked to his bedroom. "Skylor is staying overnight, so find yourself another place to sleep."

-"ok.. I will!" Lloyd answered walking away from him.

-"and... where will that be?" Kai questioned him, I can sense Lloyd doesn't want to answer to that.

-"don't worry about me Kai. I go to my uncle's."

-"I am not worried! I am just making sure you don't misbehave." Kai replied pointing to his eyes and back to Lloyd.

-"Mind your own business Kai!" Lloyd walked away from him catching up with me.

-"I don't want you to go anywhere!" I tell him as soon as he reaches me.

-"shush..." he does on my ear "I am not going anywhere away from you, Red! Useless you throw me out, like you did last night..." He whispered in my ear with a husky voice, giving me shivers.

-"I will not" I said giggling, as he nibbles my ear.

-"but.. you have to promise me you are going to sleep!"

-"I promise!"

-"Red, I need to have a shower, do you want to use the bathroom first?" He tells me as soon as we walk in his room.

-"OK..." I am still getting in used to their special facilities in their room.

When we arrived the day before, Nya showed me around explaining in details what was each one of the facilities for, I guess she thought I might end up drinking from the toilet or something like that. She also gave me a little bag of supplies, some of them I don't even know what is for, like some little pillow, they smell good, I might have to ask Lloyd what are they for.

I use the brush she gave me to clean my teeth with some kind of mint soap, taste good. I removed my top layers and left the bathroom. Lloyd was doing some tidying up, he is ever so careful I noticed, everything in his room seems to have its rightful place.

I have been folding my clothes nicely and place them on top of a chair, well, the clothes Copper have gave me before we left the Never Realm, she gave me quite a few things, also a nice bag to carry them.

-"Red... I made some space for you to put things on." He told once he realised I was there watching him.

-"you don't like my things in the chair."

-"is not that... I don't really mind... But, I want you to feel this place is yours too, as long as you wish this is also your room."

He was still moving stuff around, and for some reason, I felt really emotional by his caring attitude, he is trying to make me feel welcome, and it is quite touching. I know since I first met him, he is someone who likes taking care of the people he loves, and being the one he cares about the most is something special.

-"Are OK, Red?" He suddenly turned his attention to me, cup my face in his hand, looking deep in my eyes.

-"I am... Lloyd, you're very kind and thoughtful, and... I really love you." I wrap my arms around his waist, hugging him tightly.

-"Thank you, Red... and I love you too..." he kissed me forehead. -"now, if you excuse me, I will have a shower." He tells me walking to the bathroom.

I started putting my clothes in the storage space he made for me. I finished quickly and laid down on the bed. And the next thing I can remember was him laid by my side wrapping me in his arms and pulling the covers over me.

[Lloyd]

As soon as Akita and I got to my room, she went to the bathroom and I started looking around my drawers and cupboards for space for her things, I want her to feel at home, to feel she belongs here with me.

It wasn't difficult. I had learned to always keep my things tidy and in the right place, and keep only what I need, this way is quite easy for me to empty a draw or two.

I was engrossed in my task of proving Akita plenty of space, I didn't realise she had left the bathroom and was just beside watching me.

I acknowledge her presence and started explaining what I was doing.

-"Red... I made some space for you to put things on." I told her.

-"you don't like my things in the chair."

-"is not that... Honestly, I don't really mind... I just want you to feel this place is yours too, and as long as you wish this is also your room."

I wanted to finish before going for my shower, so I carried on, it was only a few more things to move. But, her silence raised concerns on me. So I stopped, I could always have another look around and make sure she has plenty of space.

I looked at her and noticed her eyes a bit sad, and almost tearful.

-"Are OK, Red?" I asked her holding her face in my hands.

-"I am... Lloyd, you're very kind and thoughtful, and... I really love you." She hugged me tight and I realised she was feeling emotional and happy, and so was I.

-"Thank you, Red, ... and I love you too... you are very special to me I hope you know that..." I kissed her forehead. -"now, if you excuse me, I really need to have a shower." I said before going to the bathroom.

It is true that I stayed a bit too long in the bathroom, the thoughts of everything that happened between us in the Borg's Tower, and the fact that we were again sharing the bed made me far too turned on to ignore, self-control wasn't working at all, I had to give myself some relief before I would go back to her.

However, to my surprise she was already fast asleep, I should have known by now, she does fall asleep very quickly.

She was laying on her side facing the empty side of the bed, curling her exposed strong legs and arms. I sit down beside her on the bed and watch her for a bit, she is ever so cute when she is sleeping.

I slightly touched her soft skin, and place a kiss goodnight on her cheek. As if she had sensed my presence, she turned around, pushing her body against mine, I wrapped her in my arms, and pull the covers over us. She said a few sleeping words in her own language diving back into her deep sleep.

Under the spell of her presence, the scent of her skin, the warmth of her body, I soon fell asleep too.
