Exotic Shifter : You found me (JJK)

Summary : you were currently on your road trip. All of sudden you found a dog in the middle of your way...

 from - writing.prompt.s

Y/N POV.

I was having a wonderful road trip alone. Driving across the country wasn’t a good idea when you could have just find the flight. I continued driving to my destination, Toronto. I gave a promise to my beloved cousin to visit her since she visited me last Christmas.

“Why can’t I find any good song on this radio?” I mumbled with myself. I then drove a car with one hand while the other pushed the button to find a song. I hate driving in a car with a quiet atmosphere. It always give me a chill like I am in some source of horror movies.

All of sudden, I saw a figure lied down in the middle of the road. With no hesitation, I slammed my break. 

“What was that?!” I was panting. The adrenaline still ran in my body which caused my heart beating like drums. I took a minute to calm myself down and exited the car. Wanting to know what was there in the middle of the road.

"A..dog?" Seeing the canine lied down peacefully in the middle of the road made me shock. First question, who left him here? Second question, why it needed to be here out of all places?

My mind was blank. I wanted to walk back to my car and left. However, I didn't want to leave this poor soul here. Who could be so cruel to this fluffy dog? I gently laid my hand on its forehead and pat a few times. The creature then started wiggling its head. Eyes fluttered open from the nap.

"Who left you here hmmm?" I asked the dog, knowing well that he couldn't answer back to me. I was calmly pat his head when suddenly I saw two head appeared from the body.

The creature in front of me had three heads staring at me deep into the eyes. What is this? Is it not a dog? Looking into those golden eyes, I saw confusion.  Am I hallucinated? I questioned myself.

Rubbing my eyes again, I knew that this was real. What in front of me was real. I started screaming and the dog abruptly stood up. It was tall then any normal dog I had ever seen. Then one thing caught my eyes.

"Cerberus, one heck of a big boi. If found, please return to the underworld. (666)-666-6666." Finish reading the tag, I searched for my phone in my pocket. When I found it, I immediately dialed that number.

I didn't know that place was real or not, but I didn't want to leave this boy on the road. Not when it was in the middle of nowhere and he could get hit by any random cars that passed by. Dailing for few times, no one picked up the call. I sighed in defeat and leaned my back toward the car.

I needed to make a decision. Keep or Leave? I glanced at the boi and observed his behavior. He looked around and still had that puzzled face. I made up my mind.

“Seems like you need to come with me.”

Present time : Author POV.

It has been 3 days since you has this big anonymous companion with her. You can't reach out to anyone who can possibly be the owner. You decide today she will visit your friend and hang out with her for a while.

"Kookie be a good boy alright?" You named him 'Kookie' since the first thing he ate was the cookies. Instead of spelling his name as Cookie, you spell Kookie. You don't want him to have a common name with others if he comes across one.

You take your car key and purse before leaving the house with him. Everything seems to be normal; however, little do you know what will happen in your house while you have gone...

"I'm home." Your voice fills the thin layered air. You are searching for your boy. It is now around 9 pm. You walk into your room and settle shopping bags down. All of sudden, you hear a humming noise come out through a bathroom door.

You approach your wardrobe and search for your bat. Well having a bat or two lying in it is something normal. You were a baseball player before. When you find it, you grab tightly on to the long metal piece. The door starts cracking open and you are so eager to swing the bat into a stranger's head.

"YAH!" You scream and swing the metal bat. Closing your eyes tightly, you insert the most force to the bat. You hear nothing for a while so you open your eyes. You see a half-naked man figure in front of you, grabbing onto the bat.

You and the stranger stare at each other as if it is a competition. His eyes are golden and glowing. You start feeling like he is familiar to you. Your thought gets interrupted by the man in front of you when he starts speaking.

"Please don't hurt me, I'm Kookie, remember?" What nonsense is he saying right now? This man with this attractive aura is my fluffy Kookie? No,  I am not going to believe him. I stare at him with disbelief look and reply.

"Do you think I will believe a stranger that just broke into my house? Who knows, you might be a serial killer or a thief." I reply. Then the man face drops and tears well up in his eyes. Is he trying to make me feel guilty?

"But...if you don't want me anymore, I will leave." Then the man disappear in front of my eyes. Leaving me with the sight of my fluffy boy, whose tails wiggle lightly and his ears drop, ready to walk out of this room

Time Skip

"So what you are trying to say is you don't know why you were here and I found you?" Kookie nods along what you said. He tells you about everything, his name, his age, and other things that he thinks might help you find his way back 'home'.

He is wearing the old jumpsuit that you used when you were still a baseball player. It surprisingly fits him, even though some body parts the fabric wrap around them tightly.

"Okay uhh Jungkook?" You call an unfamiliar name. The sound of it is beautiful for him. He happily looks at you with a face lit up with excitement. For the first time he hears his name from you, it feels great.

"Yeah, miss?"

"What did I said about calling me, miss?" His ears immediately hang low. You feel guilty rush over you.

"I shouldn't call you miss and call you Y/N." He answers with a voice like someone when they feel little. You make a note to yourself to not speak with this tone ever again with him. You start patting his head and he wiggles it while giggling.

“We need to sleep.”

A week later

"Let's pack up, time for us to go," You talk to him while carrying a box toward my car. You turn around and see that boy carry three boxes behind you. Laying them on top of each other and following your footsteps.

'That was hot.' You don't know why, but it is a little turn on to you. When you realize what this thought will lead you to, you stop thinking. No, he is a shifter and he needs to go back home. You repeat this sentence in your head.

??? POV.

"This is getting interesting." I see that boy with a new company. I smile while thinking of some pan to ruin his life. 

"I will not let you come back to Tartarus ever again."

Jungkook POV.

I can't figure out why I was here in the first place. How can I pop up in front of the Y/N car? One thing that I relieve was Y/N let me be with her. I thought it was weird that she picked me up and went with her. When you saw a three-head dog lying on the road in the middle of nowhere. If it was you, what would you do?

The first time she saw me in my human form, I thought I was doomed. She nearly hit me with the bat. Even though that bat was light, her force was no joke. She swang it like she meant it to knock me. 

"How can I tell her the truth?" I sighed while thinking of her reactions. If she heard my story, she wouldn't believe me. No one would.

"Kook...Jungkook, are you alright?"

"I'm fine."

"Then come out, we need to pick up new furniture, remember?" I picked up my backpack which Y/N bought for me two days ago. It was new for me, everything here. This earth didn't actually match the description from what I have heard.

"Stop daydreaming and get in."

Inside the car, there was nothing but silence. Y/N was focus on the road. I glanced at her a few times and noticed her side profile. She was pretty. I met a lot of humans; even though, they were in a soul form. They weren't like Y/N. I couldn't describe it into words, but she attracted me.

'Am I...fall for a human?'

??? POV.

"Yes, my lord. He escaped and lived with a woman."

"What?! My most loyal guard decided to leave his duty for a woman!" The lord was shaking with anger. His hand formed a fist and slammed onto the armrest of the throne.

"My lord, what is your order." Another guard asked for his next move. I smirked with the scene. My plan was smooth sailing like what I imagined.

"I suggested that we should banish him. Because he broke his rule by dropping his duty that cost his life."

"I still don't believe why my brother will be on earth without any reason. My lord, please consider carefully. My brother never had a lover in his life. He always had no interest in love, so what was the point for him to be on earth?"

Junghyun, the other Jeons, spoke to the lord. He tried convincing the lord to not end that filthy dog's life. However, did you think I would let you ruin my plan?

"What he has done was unacceptable. However, I will give him a chance to speak for himself once he arrive Tartarus. For now, you should go get your brother." His brother smiled and left. I also left and accepted the lord's decision. 

"It won't end well...Junghyun."

Author POV.

"How was it, the steak?" You asked the boy who devoured the plate like he didn't eat anything for weeks.

"Delicious, you should let me cook today." 

"I don't trust you that much with the kitchen." Jungkook pouted with your comment. One thing that didn't leave him easily was the pouty puppy face-like.

While both you ate your meal, the doorbell interrupted your time. You stood up and went toward the door and telling Jungkook to continue eating his meal.

"Maybe it might be one of our orders." You opened the door and met with an unfamiliar face. A tall guy wore black clothing with a hat cover nearly entire face made you wonder who he was. He then spoke.

"Can you get Jungkook for me?"

"And who are you?"

"You don't need to know miss."

"And how can I trust you?"

"I am hi-" He didn't get to finish his sentence when Jungkook jumped into the conversation as well.

"What took you so long?" Jungkook spoke and glanced at the figure in front of you. When the guy took off his hat, Jungkook gasped with his eyes widen because of shockingness.

"I will bring you back, Kook. Now the Lord wants your explanation." After all of you go inside, the guy, which you found out was his brother, started conversation immediately.

"Hyung I don't know what happened. When I woke up, I was in the middle of nowhere."

"No Jungkook, don't you lie to me. You come here because of her, right?" All of sudden Junghyun raised his voice and pointed at you. Blaming you as a reason why his brother disappeared from him.

"Hyung! Believe me, I don't want to be stuck on earth like this. You know well that I can't teleport here. I don't have that power!"

When Jungkook finished, it was like his brother realize something. You noticed his feature soften and started thinking. I decided to speak something. At least this might help him.

"I was driving to my cousin house. He was lying in the middle of the road in his 'dog' form so I helped. There was something attached to his neck. It was a note and number." You walked toward the shelf and took it from the box then handing the object to him.

He studied it for a while. Every puzzle in his head started falling into their places. As if the process completed, his eyes widen and glanced back at you. Jungkook, who saw the expression, knew something was off.

"Miss you are in danger."

On the other hand, there was a group of people tried to find you and Jungkook. Their leader ordered them to track down you and get both of you to him. Those creatures arrived at your house in no time. Your front door got slammed and broke from the frame.

"We must leave. Jungkook, take her with you." Jungkook turned himself back into his Cerberus form then telling you to hop on him. You got on his back. He started running out through the back door.

"Argh!"

The sound of him grunting could be heard a few times. Some of the demons followed him. He got attack, but still tried his best to protect you. You were frightened and didn't want to believe what's going on right now.

"Are you okay, Kookie?" You asked with a shaken voice. You felt his muscles tense. His breath was irregular, but still, he ran for your life to be safe.

"I am sorry."

"It isn't your fault."

You patted his back. Trying to comfort him, although, he wasn't crying. Living with Jungkook for a while, made you understand him in lots of aspects. You didn't know why, but you felt like you sense his feelings.

His sense detected no demons. He then started to slow down. You continued patting on his back to assure him you were fine. He stopped and spoke again.

"I think we safe." You hopped down and he changed his form.

"Oh no...it's bleeding." You noticed the cuts around his arms. You had nothing with you except the handkerchief. You used that piece of clothe wiped his blood. Then you caress his face, checking for any injury.

"You smell so divine." Jungkook moved closer to you. He couldn't resist you any longer. He had no idea why. You tried to give yourself some space as well as him. However, he didn't agree. Embracing you tightly, his lips met yours.

Rather a gentle and innocent kiss, he gave you a passionate one. It wasn't a quick make-out session with lust and hunger like you had in your high school or college life. This showed his deep desire and love in which couldn't deny anymore.

"We need to stop here and find your brother." Getting your senses back, you pushed him lightly. You reminded him and yourself to find his brother.

Y/N POV.

My life was chaos. I didn't know that a dog I got was a famous guard of hell, Cerberus. Now I was in a huge mess between the demons. How could I survive?

I cleaned Jungkook cuts. The kiss scene kept replaying in my mind. Making myself distracted and hurt him. I apologized a few times and felt stupid as ever. His face was a major problem. Red blush still presented and made this boy cuter.

I would be an insane person if I didn't say I was afraid after the incident; however, Jungkook with his brother protected me like one of their family members. I got closer to his brother than the first day. At least we could talk without feeling awkward.

"When are you going to be back?" This question had a clear answer. I knew it. Despite that, I still had a hope he will be back home with me again.

"You know we-"

"I will be back Y/N, promise," Jungkook answered. Junghyun glared at him and shook his head lightly in disapproval.

I walked to the window and sat on its frame. Looking outside, I sighed. 'Why did I ask that question?' 'You wanted him, right?' My head was spinning. My mind had thoughts that formed two sides as if they all tried to fight.

"What are you looking at?" Jungkook asked.

"Nothing in particular." He didn't reply, but sat opposite me. We stayed in silence, enjoy the existence of each other.

"I shouldn't ask you that question."

"And I promise to return, don't I?" He spoke and looked into your eyes. I wished I could know what he was thinking.

"I caused conflicts and problems, yet you wanted to live with me after this?" He shrugged.

"Remember, you were the one who saved me that day. If it isn't because of you, I will be dead by now. Someone set this up. They want me dead."

"And how will you deal with that?"

"We know what to do?" Junghyun answered.

Jungkook POV.

"Today is the judgment of Kerberos J. in charge of his crime for escaping his duty as the gate guardian..." I was on my knees with the fire chains lock my body.

There were all high ranks of guards. Standing and watching the scene. I could see his side near the Lord's throne. Smirking at me to show the victory he was waiting for finally arrive.

"Any to say against me, Kerberos?"

"My lord, I deny every charge that up against me." Whispers appeared everywhere when I answered. The Lord looked at me with fury in his eyes.

"How dare yo-" I cut him.

"I understand how important this duty was. To take care of the front gate; however, I would like to clarify what happened to me." He sat still as a sign for me to continue.

"I was put on a spell by someone. When I woke up, I was on the earth and in the middle of the human road. A woman in that day saved me and let me lived under her roof..."

"Who would believe you? Maybe she was your lover that you ran away to."  His side started interrupting me.

"Because as a guardian, I only had powers in strength and shifting my form. I didn't possess any power to travel from place to place like those messengers or the grims."

"You can just get the ability from your archangel friend."

"It can't Jeonguk. The skill I possess only exist up in the heaven. You have to trained since birth to gain the power." Third-person appeared in the court. I smiled as I heard the familiar sound.

"You, his friend, would protect him from his crime. No criminal would accept their crime, right Kim Seokjin?"

"Right. Because the crimes belong to you, Jeonguk. I, Kim Seokjin, the archangel and the messengers would like to report you, Jeonguk, for possessing the dark power, use it to end Jungkook's life with intention, create a disaster upon the earth and plan to rebel toward the lord of tuataras. This is the name of all his followers."

When he presented his scroll to the Lord, everything turned chaos.

2 years later : Author POV.

Y/N life continued. You were still waiting for Jungkook, even though the chance was so little. You hoped that her Kookie would at least come and visited you for the last time.

Two years had passed, but there was no sign of him. Your life was great. However, sometimes you felt lonely when she entered the house. There used to be a boy sitting on the sofa and watching tv shows. He would munch up boxes of cookies. He would perk up his ears when you arrived. 

'How's your day?', 'Let's go for a walk.', 'This show is great.' and other sentences, that you were familiar with, you got every time you came home disappeared with his presence.

"Huh... such a tiring day." You searched for the key. Shaking your bag a few times, you found it. You then unclocked the door and entered. Shopping bags and shipping packages laid every corner of the house.

"Whose that?" Your eyes came across the living room. In the middle, there was a backpack on the sofa.

You felt uneasy. 'Did someone break into your house?' When many questions appeared in your little head, you head the noise. It was from the upstairs.

You walked upstairs and entered your room. Getting the bat for your safety, you were ready to face the theft. You got out and approached the bathroom. There was a clicked sound, and the door opened. You closed your eyes and swung your bat.

"You did this to me again!" You heard a voice. The gentle yet raspy voice rang in your ears. Causing you to drop you bat. Your eyes wide opened.

"I got caught." I hugged him tight.

"Where were you all these years, idiot?"

"Well...I was...here the whole time, sorry." You punched him in the arm.

"Ouch! But here I am. You found me. Tada..." Jungkook tried to present himself as if it was a surprise.

"You, huh, I miss you Kookie." He then leaned forward and captured your lips. He kissed like there was no tomorrow. The feverish kiss continued for a long time until you both out of breathe.

"Welcome home."

Oh my God.! Tthhis is sooooooooo sweettttttt...

You've outdone yourself again!

show me your rosettes, baby (g)

summary: The world tour is over and the Bangtan Boys finally get their well-deserved break. When Namjoon suddenly can’t find Jimin anywhere, things take an unexpected and pretty unbelievable turn. word count: 2.8k note: part 1. finally. to be honest, I love this part so much. hope this will explain the title a little better… ✨ warnings: minor angst but fluuuff!

masterlist | moodboard masterlist

The World Tour is over. Bangtan has arrived home a couple of days ago. Namjoon still receives proud and cheerful “Well done”s whenever he checks in at the company. It’s obligatory for him and the members to come to the company every now and then even in their time off, a time that should be used for resting. It’s preventive, to avoid a crash-and-burn situation like other artists experience after a great tour. Bangtan’s health, which includes their mental health, is a priority and gives Namjoon once again reason to appreciate how the company takes care of him and the others. 

So he comes in every day, spending a couple of hours in his studio, either mixing new songs or writing new lyrics or discussing concepts with the planners who already are on their marks for the next music videos and albums. Yoongi does the same. They go together, both having chosen this option that Bang Sihyuk gave them.

The other members are here and there. Seokjin, Hoseok, Taehyung, and Jungkook have chosen to travel home for a week, all equipped with a to-do checklist they have to complete and turn in diligently. Jimin is still at home, dancing on the grate that runs between being okay and being really sick. He had already been near the crash before he could fight it off.

Choices

Concerns

-

College is like a continuous circle of stress, tiredness, joy at getting a good grade before falling back into stress. It’s been like this for four years, and you’re beyond glad that this is your final year before you can finally be free of the confines of a classroom.

Your parents had already been querying whether you might want to continue on and do a master’s degree, considering your single history degree to not be good enough to get a good job. Which was ridiculous, because even though you weren’t sure what job you wanted - you were sure that history was the one subject that you hated the least out of everything.

So no, you would not be subjecting yourself to a further year of of stress and unhappiness. Particularly as you’d have even less chances to fail than you did in your four years of college until now. You and college hadn’t co-operated very well on the education front, so you really weren’t inclined to put yourself through even more. Probably the only saving grace of your college life had been your friends.

Coming from a small town like you had, you had never interacted with any predator shifters as they simply hadn’t existed in your town. Your town had consisted of the more fearful prey shifters and humans with the majority being either deer or rabbit shifters. Which was fine when you needed pleasant neighbours, but not so much for actually growing into a well rounded person.

As such, you’d grown up practically afraid of your own shadow and it had only been when you’d entered high school in the next town over that you’d finally been introduced to predators. Even so, they had only been dog and cat shifters. Back then it had been a point of pride that you’d got used to the dominance battles they had all the time, but entering college had been a shock to your system.

It had taken some serious convincing with your parents to let you attend the state college instead of the local community college in the city closest to you. You’d desperately wanted to experience the world outside of your insulated community, and the real world involved apex predators. If you couldn’t handle living and studying with them, then you could kiss goodbye to a job working with them.

Which of course meant you’d spent the first two months in college firmly inside your room, terrified to leave as you’d had a tiger shifter to your right and a wolf shifter to your left. It had only been a month after this that the wolf shifter, Jisoo, had dragged you out finally to try and convince you that she didn’t want to eat you.

Slowly becoming friends with her had meant becoming friends with her pack, who she had moved in with in her second year. You’d stayed in dorms for the whole four years, unable to find another prey shifter who was willing to live with you and unable to live with predators.

But her friends had proven to be nice and respectful, being careful to not play too rough or engage in too many dominance battles that would have you running away. If you’d told yourself five years ago that your best friends would be wolf shifters, you’d have laughed all the way home. Yet here you were, wedged between Jisoo, a black wolf, and your other best friend Jimin, a silver wolf.

A Crown of Flowers

Pairing: Shifter!Bucky Barnes x Shifter!Female Reader Summary: You make Bucky a crown of flowers and he gets a little closer to the shifter quickly stealing his heart. Word Count: Over 2.2k Warnings: Shifters, flirting, slight possessive behavior, slight feels (it's me), Bucky Barnes (he's a warning, okay?). Previous Part of AU: The Pull of Gravity A/N: More Wolfie and Little Red! I really need to give this AU a name. ❤️ Beta read by @whisperlullaby (thank you!), but any and all mistakes are my own. Divider by the talented @firefly-graphics! ❤️Please follow @navybrat817-sideblog for new fics and notifications. Comments, reblogs, feedback are loved and appreciated!

Bucky considered himself to be a dangerous predator. A good man by nature, but vicious when the occasion called for it. Sam told him more than once that he didn’t look approachable even when he wasn’t in wolf form. A far cry from his younger years when he charmed most people around him with a smile. Life in the woods and seeing the things in both his human and shifter form changed him. He hoped for the better, even with his sometimes grumpy nature.

He was far from the predator he claimed to think he was thanks to the crown of flowers on his head.

“You look so pretty, Wolfie!” you smiled, reaching over to adjust the crown. Your eyes narrowed at the unmistakable growl that left his lips. “Oh, don’t you dare growl at me. That may work with your pack or family or whatever you call them, but not me.”

His lip lifted in a softer sort of snarl, but you remained unafraid as you tucked a lone flower behind your ear. You somehow convinced him to sit in the garden beside you and it felt nice. When was the last time he took a moment to appreciate the beauty of it? “And what are you gonna do about it? Bite me again?”

“Don’t tempt me,” you smirked, playfully snapping your teeth for good measure. “I don’t know why you have that look on your face. The crown looks nice. Steve’s wearing his with pride.”

“He’s just being nice to you,” he said.

But if we’re comparing crowns, mine is nicer and I refuse to let those words leave my mouth.

“Yeah, he’s a nice guy. That’s why he gave me your shirt,” you said, gesturing to the fabric that covered your skin.

Shifters ran warm, but it was starting to get darker and colder. You hadn’t had a chance to get the red cape of yours that you mentioned. Steve was kind enough to get you a long shirt of Bucky’s to wear, to both his and your disappointment when you covered yourself up. It was also smart on the blonde’s part not to give you one of his own shirts, as if he sensed that Bucky wouldn’t like anyone else’s scent on you.

I’m possessive and I’m fucked.

“We should probably head inside. I’m sure you’re starving,” he said, knowing if he dwelled for too long at the thought of his scent on you that he’d fuck you right there in the dirt.

Only if you wanted that.

“In a minute. I want to enjoy the view a little longer,” you said, leaning back on your hands to look up at the sky. While you took in the sight above you, he kept his eyes on you. “It’s nice here.”

“Yeah, it is,” he agreed, taking a quick look around as he inhaled the comforting smell of his surroundings. Your fragrance in the mix added something he didn’t know was missing or longing for. “It’s home.”

“Home,” you whispered, as if the taste of the word was bittersweet. No doubt a part of your story he knew you wouldn’t tell him today. “How did you two meet? You and Steve. Did you grow up together?”

“We did. He’s been my best friend since he was a runt. We’ve always looked out for each other,” he said, taking another flower to put behind your other ear. Your hand shot out to grip his wrist before he got too close. “You’re quick.”

“And strong, but not quite as strong as you are,” you smiled, releasing his wrist and tilting your head to allow him to continue. He tried his hardest not to smile at the compliment. “Must’ve been nice to grow up with a shifter friend.”

“It was, especially since we’re both wolves. My parents were shifters, too, but not having to keep it a secret from Steve made it a little easier. I don’t know. It’s hard to explain.”

“Because you understood what the other was going through. You had someone to confide in and I’m sure he did the same in return. I’m also guessing you both understood the need to keep it a secret with people outside of your circle, as well as the need to protect each other,” you mused, tilting your head to gaze at him with a wistful stare. “You weren’t alone.”

Shadows clouded your eyes as he inhaled slowly, mentally noting the subtle change in your scent. He caught shifts occasionally with Steve and the others when their moods changed, but this was something different. It was as if he could taste your tears on his tongue, but you weren’t crying on the surface. At that moment, he wanted to crawl inside your mind and heart to soothe whatever pain you tried so hard to hide.

Who hurt you? Tell me so I can deal with them.

“May I ask you a question and you don’t have to answer it?”

“Okay,” you answered.

“Why did you decide to come here?” he asked.

You breathed out when you shrugged. “Besides being wildly attracted to your rugged good looks?”

“Yeah, besides that,” he smirked, taking your hand in his. Yours was soft on the top and rougher on the palm. It suited your form. Playful and endearing, but ready and willing to fight.

His was rough all over.

“I got the sense that you’re not a bad guy. And I know if I would’ve pushed hard enough to make you go your way while I went mine, you would’ve let me,” you told him, gently running your thumb along his palm. You didn’t seem to mind his calloused touch. “My instinct said I could trust you, so I came here.”

Something warm wrapped around his heart at your admission. He wondered how long it had been since you put your trust in someone else. “I’m glad you did,” he said, his voice soft. He was glad you accepted his offer.

You smiled before you dug your nails into his hand. “I don’t trust easily, Wolfie. Don’t make me regret it,” you whispered.

A whispered threat is often more terrifying than a scream.

“I won’t, Little Red,” he promised, his voice at the same level as yours as he leaned in closer. “But while we’re on the subject of things given and earned, don’t break my heart.”

He heard the air leave your lungs as you loosened your grip and laughed, a sweet, beautiful sound. “You can’t give me your heart.”

“Why not?”.

“Because you’ve known me for a day and part of that was spent killing and burying a guy. That’s not romance. That’s a murder. What love story starts with murder?”

Ours.

Bucky tilted his head like he was actually trying to think of another couple. “Technically, it started when you came into my territory. So our story actually began with you trespassing,” he smiled.

“And it continued with you stalking me. Trespassing, stalking, murder. Just a day in the life of a shifter,” you teased before your smile fell. “Even if you’re joking, why would you give your heart to me? I haven’t done anything to earn it.”

“Because I know you don’t trust easily and you still took a chance by coming here,” he replied. You chose to walk beside me. “So if you can give me your trust, why am I not allowed to give you my heart?”

“That is different!” you said, booping his nose with your finger. “I know you’re attracted to me and I suspect you don’t open up to many people either, but wanting me and wanting me are two different things.”

He brought a hand to the nape of your neck as he pressed his forehead against yours. “I can do whatever I want with my heart,” he whispered, closing his eyes when your breath touched his lips. “I just need to hear you say you won’t break it.”

A heartbeat passed before you spoke. “I won’t break your heart, Wolfie.”

Thank you.

Bucky wanted to close the gap and kiss you. It would’ve been easy to lay you down in the dirt and indulge himself in the warm haven between your thighs. But he would let you take the first step. If you were willing to trust him, he could calm his primal urges until you allowed him to unleash them.

“I think I want to play tomorrow,” you said, leaning back slightly and breaking the temporary spell he was under. “What’s there to do around here? Besides each other?”

The deep rumble in his chest only made you smirk. “Why do you keep teasing me?”

“Because it’s fun,” you said with a lift of your shoulder. “I’m not teasing you just to tease you. I very much plan to let you wreck me and I’ll happily welcome you into my mouth and pussy.”

Fuck. She’s trying to kill me.

“I may sit on your face for good measure,” you added, resting back on your hands again. You didn’t quite open your legs, but the stance was wider than before. “You strike me as someone who gets very hungry.”

Bucky ran his teeth along his bottom lip. “And you strike me as the type who’d ride my face to indulge me.”

“Oh, I would. And I’ll make you wear a flower crown while you show me what you can do with your tongue.”

Suddenly flower crowns are my favorite thing.

“I’d say it’s time to eat, but that’s maybe the wrong choice of words!” Steve called out from the other end of the garden.

Fucking punk and his fucking-

“Why are you yelling?!” Bucky shouted back as he threw up his hands. “Why don’t you walk over like a decent human being and tell us?”

“You’re yelling back at me!” Steve pointed out as your shoulders shook with laughter. “And I’m not walking over there when you two are seconds away from going at it.”

“We won’t go at it today, Steve!” you announced, giggling still as you pushed yourself up and dusted the dirt from your legs. “We’ll wait until tomorrow before we cause more havoc. I think we caused enough for today.”

He chuckled after a moment. It had been a day. “We’ll be right there, Steve,” he said, shaking his head as he watched his friend hurry away. “Punk.”

“I like him,” you said, taking his hands to pull him up. “You never answered my question. What’s there to do around here?”

“There’s a pond not too far from here that’s pretty much ours at this point. No one else really goes there,” he said, adjusting the crown so it stayed on his head.

An amused look crossed your face, but you quickly let it fade. “Maybe we can go for a swim,” you suggested before you turned on your heel. “Maybe I’ll even let you chase me.”

“You’ll let me chase you?” he asked, taking in how good you looked in his shirt. It somehow made the curves of your body more tempting than before. “Hunt you down?”

“If you’re good,” you said over your shoulder. “If I do decide you can chase me and you catch me, you can have me then and there. On one condition.”

Bucky had to will his cock not to twitch. How could he make time go faster? “What’s that?”

“Don’t laugh,” you warned as you turned back toward him. Your finger tapped against your thigh before you lifted your chin. “I want a warm blanket when I go to sleep tonight.”

He didn’t laugh at your request. He wouldn’t dream of it. But it did surprise him. It was a simple ask, but maybe it was much more significant in your eyes. “You can have my bed and the blankets on it.”

“You’re giving me your bed?” you asked, your eyes widening as he nodded. “No, I’m not making you sleep somewhere else just because I’m staying the night. We’ll share your bed. Agreed?”

“Agreed.”

“Thank you, Wolfie,” you said.

“You’re welcome, Little Red.”

You tapped your thigh again with a small smile. “Can you show me your bed before we eat?”

“Sure,” he smiled, motioning for you to go with him. There was a spring in your step as you walked beside him and he couldn’t wipe the smile from his face when he let you into his small hut. While everyone used the common area for living, they also had their own sanctuary for privacy and sleep. “This isn’t much, but-”

You darted past Bucky and launched yourself onto his bed. With a happy sigh, you rolled back and forth, your body eventually touching every inch of the mattress, blankets, and pillows. He didn’t ask what you were doing or why because he sensed your happiness.

He wasn’t about to interrupt that.

You sat up with a grin once you stopped. “Now that you have my scent all over your bed, we can eat,” you said, skipping over to grab his hand.

You’re possessive of me, too.

“I’ll give you the grand tour of the hut once we’re done,” he joked.

“Looking forward to it,” you said with complete sincerity.

Just like he was looking forward to having you around a little longer.

What do we think? Wolfie hunting Little Red down? Love and thanks for reading! ❤️
