"I-I don't understand," I stuttered, my voice trembling as I spoke.
His hands slid further up, slipping under my t-shirt. His freezing cold fingers sent chills down my already shivering body.
"I know you know what I mean," he said with a chuckle, pulling me impossibly close to himself.
"You're joking, right? You just saved me from being eaten," I said with a bit of hesitation, now fearing him. But he looked harmless, and I thought to myself, he can never eat a human; besides, I don't even taste good, I bet.
"Saved you?" He smirked, raising an eyebrow.
"Let me tell you a story, princess," he whispered near my ear, his lips grazing my earlobe.
Storytelling? Seriously? At this moment, he's going to tell me a story instead of doing naughty things with me? I felt a pang of disappointment, but I decided to listen anyway.
"There was a little rabbit in a dense forest," he began. "One day, a group of hyenas attacked him. He knew he was about to die, but then... a big lion appeared. The hyenas ran away, leaving the little rabbit. The rabbit jumped happily, thinking the lion saved him... But the little rabbit wasn't aware that the lion saved him... for his breakfast."
He chuckled after finishing the story, a low, husky sound that sent shivers down my spine.
"What did you learn from this story, little one?" he asked, lifting my chin with his fingers.
My eyes widened in horror as the truth dawned on me.
"Behen choddddd........." The only words escaped my lips.
I felt a sharp pain in my stomach, as if something was digging into my flesh. A painful moan escaped my lips, and everything went black.
Maybe I died. At least my killer was hot.
A romantically inclined spirit, pouring all my fantasies into this narrative of mine.
