Chapter 48: You look better inside me
Mira shuddered. Her eyes fixed on the shadow. At first, it stayed still, then it turned around, the figure now faced her like it knew she saw it. This was when the most bizarre thing took place. The shadow stretched its hand to the side so she could distinct the hand from the rest of its black silhouette and waved.
Mira gasped. There was no way in hell that she imagined this.
She tugged slightly at Jia Hao’s fur to pull his attention. His hum in response to her tug made her know that she succeeded. "Don’t make it obvious but look at the drummers." She said and averted her eyes away so not to alert the owner of the shadow of what she just did.
Jia Hao traced his gaze where Mira instructed. There was nothing there that wasn’t already supposed to be there. "What is it you want me to see, my woman?" He asked, his gaze returned back ahead.
Mira shifted her gaze in that direction again. Like the last time, the shadow was gone. This could not be a coincidence. Someone was purposely playing a trick on her and knew she knew of the person’s presence but who could it be? That much Mira could not figure out.
And why was that person only present around her cubs? Mira swallowed.
"Nothing." She breathed. "I thought I saw someone but it was nothing. Just a passing shadow." A shadow that waved at her, she reminded herself. What sucked about this was the fact that the ceremony was swarming with so many beast people who hated her so she could not begin to scratch the surface of which one of them could be playing such games.
It may not even be someone from the pride.
"A shadow?" Jia Hao worded softly.
"Mhm."
"There are countless people in the pride tonight, love. And it is nighttime. Torches are situated everywhere."
Of course, she already knew that. "I know. That’s why I said not to worry about it." Mira’s head was still rested on Jia Hao’s chest. "Is the naming ceremony over?" She asked. She genuinely felt uncomfortable having her cubs out in the open when she was seeing things like that.
"Mostly. Yes. We still need to give the names and let him announce it. Unless you want us to do it ourselves."
That did not sound like a bad idea. "Let’s do it ourselves. I want time to think about it." Mira said.
"Then that we will do." Jia Hao mumbled. His hand rested at the back of Mira’s waist and he used a lazy finger to stroke her through her attire. "You look beautiful, Mira. I don’t know if I told you."
"You didn’t. Not since I put on this dress. But thank you."
"You make the outfit look beautiful. It’s only nice when it’s on your skin."
This made Mira’s face redden. This was the compliment of the season.
"You’re such a tease, Jia Hao." She laughed, tapping his chest gently with her palm. She just wanted him to say it again. "That’s not true. If at all, the dress makes me look pretty." Mira added.
Come on, here comes the compliment!! Mira yearned in her mind.
Jia Hao faced her. He put a hand on her chin and tilted her head to look up to face him, separating himself from their previous position. "I have not joked about you before and nor will I tease you now. You are the most beautiful being here tonight. You make dirt look presentable, Mira. You make my night brighter than any star or moon or torches can do."
Mira’s brows faltered. She expected a compliment but not this. This was straight up poetry. . . . The kind that made women willingly take their pants off and the kind that made her stomach swarm with butterflies.
Mira could barely hide her blush. She tilted her head to the side to hide it from him. Jia Hao shifted her face to face him. "I want to see your every reaction to my very breath. It’s mesmerising." He said. With that, he leaned in. In front of the everyone on the hill with them. In front of the beast people below. He did not care who was watching. He just took her lips in for a kiss and dominated her mouth.
Mira froze. Her body turned to jelly. Now, she really was going to melt. Jia Hao broke the kiss and stared into her eyes. "Still think I teased you now?" He had a content smirk on his face. The man knew what he did and what his actions did to her.
Mira bit her now swollen lower lip. She could not speak due to the reboot of her brain but she shook her head.
"That’s my good girl." Jia Hao muttered. He pulled her to his side and let her rest her head on his chest as his hand conveyed her waist from behind. They stared past the hill. The party was just getting started.
"You know, Jia Hao, what do you say we dish this for a little while and go be naughty somewhere else?" Mira suggested. That kiss sent fire to her already pooled pussy and there was no way she wanted to not calm the hunger between her legs.
"Dish?" Jia Hao asked.
Right, they don’t know that word, Mira assumed.
"I am saying, let us take some time away from everyone to ourselves. And let us be naughty." Mira rephrased.
Jia Hao grinned, a half grin. His canines were displayed in that half grin. "You’re saying we should leave our own event?" He asked, genuinely curious. He bought the idea the first time she said it, he just wanted her to say it with actual direct words.
"For a good cause." Mira’s tone was throaty. "I just think you will look better inside of me." Her finger caressed his bare chest.
"If I ever say no to that," Jia Hao started. "Arrange for some animals to kill me."
