The Mask Of The Monster - Chapter 115

(From Ella’s Perspective)

When I woke up, I felt like I got more rest than I needed. It took me a while to come to my senses.

“Are you up?”

“Mm…,” I mumbled, opening my eyes slowly.

I was snuggled very close to him and he had his arm wrapped around me. No wonder I had a good sleep.

I tried to move a bit, that was when I felt the sudden pain on my bottoms. “Ow!”

“Are you alright?” he asked quickly.

‘Ah, we did it finally last night. My body feels like it has been run over by a bus.’

“It’s kinda sore down there,” I muttered, getting red completely. “Wait a moment… But my…”

“Don’t worry. I cleaned you up,” he said.

“When?”

“You fell asleep after we did it once. I cleaned you up then,” he replied.

“Is that so…? Well, did I bleed?”

“It was your first time, so yeah, just a bit. Don’t worry, it wasn’t too much and I cleaned you up as well. Look, you’re not bleeding anymore.”

“That’s true,” I muttered, checking once.

I felt kind of shy now. I said a lot of embarrassing things last night. Now all the weight of those words was falling on me.

He started laughing all of a sudden and hugged me tightly. “I didn’t know you came that prepared. It seems like you were sure that we were going to do it last night.”

“Well, you were waiting for me to say yes. And for a pervert like you, I was sure that when I will say yes, you won’t stop,” I said. “But you were gentler than I expected at first.”

“At first? Then was I wild after that?”

“K-Kinda…”

“Since it was your first time, I was nervous that if I moved a bit too much, you will end up getting hurt,” he said. “I read in the books that it only hurts the first time.”

“It wasn’t too much painful for me though… I had seen on the internet that it might hurt the first time. I mean, it’s not the case for everyone,” I said. “I think that’s why I didn’t feel too much pain. There was this slight discomfort, though…”

“Other times, it won’t be like this,” he said. “There won’t be any discomfort as well.”

Now that I thought about it, I was not a virgin anymore. Thankfully, I lost my virginity to the person I loved. It meant the mark was fulfilled now.

I sat up with slight difficulty as my body hurt and looked sideways at my shoulder. The mark was there and it looked the same. How the hell was I even going to understand if the mark was full or not?”

“You are fully marked now,” he said, sitting up as well, as if he knew what I was thinking. “No one will able to touch you from now on if you don’t want them to- humans or shifters. You see, you can’t be with anyone else now, only me. The same goes for me.”

“You don’t regret it, do you?”

“Of course not!” he said quickly. “I am really happy that I got to be with you and make you mine. Actually, I am happier that I am the first man in your life and also the last man. I was gonna ask you if you regret it.”

“No! Why would I? I chose you!”

“That’s good then. I don’t need to worry about anything,” he sighed in relief.

He was worried? I thought it should be me who needed to be worried. But surprisingly, I was not much worried. It was as if I knew that he was going to be with me no matter what.

When did it happen that I started to know that he was always going to be there for me? Even if there was no one, I would find him at the end of the dark tunnel, waiting for me to run into his arms?

“What time is it?”

“It’s eleven in the morning,” he said. “Don’t worry, I sent a letter to your friend to tell your dad that you will go back in the afternoon.”

“Now that I think about it, I have a lot to know,” I said. “When did you even buy it? I mean, did you buy it just for meeting me?”

“Yes,” he nodded. “I have a lot of money, don’t worry.”

‘Wow, would you look at that smug face?!’

“Besides, if we meet, we need to meet somewhere private. While buying it, I didn’t think we would be doing this though… But either way, it’s a good thing I bought it,” he said. “We can do it again when we will meet.”

“You’re busy. You don’t get out of your way to make time for me,” I said.

“Don’t worry. I will send you a letter whenever I am free. You will come to meet me, won’t you?” he asked. “And we are in a relationship now, aren’t we? We can meet.”

“Yeah…,” I smiled slightly. I felt very happy. My heart was filled with overwhelming joy. Finally, I could get out of my shell and try to be happy with the man I loved.

It had been quite a long time since I did not think of going back. I always felt like I did not belong here. But Leandro made me understand that I could just make my own place if I did not have one already.

“By the way, there are two sets of keys of this house. One is in your bag,” he said. “I placed it there last night.”

“… Did you see what’s in the bag?”

“No. You were throwing the blanket away a lot. So, I had to get in bed with you so you could not do it anymore. Why? What’s in it?”

“Actually… You see, I only had theoretical knowledge about sex. So, I went to a store with Jed and bought some things.”

“Bought what?”

“Get me that bag. I will show you,” I said.

He got out from under the blanket. He was naked! Perhaps I was a pervert as well since I did not look away, rather enjoyed the view of him from behind.

But before he came back, I quickly looked away so he would not understand that I was gawking at somewhere I should not.

I opened the bag and poured everything on the bed. The look on his face definitely showed how surprised he was.

“Well, lube is an essential thing. So, I bought it. I thought we would need it.”

“It’s for the time when you’re not naturally lubricated,” he said. “But you were.”

“I wasn’t sure… so…”

“Seriously? What am I gonna do with you?” he laughed.

“Ah, right. I almost forgot,” I muttered and took the red bottle with some pills inside it.

“Is that for preventing pregnancy? I was gonna buy one today as well,” he said.

“No need now. I got one already,” I said and took a pill with some water. I brought a bottle of water with me as well to make sure that there was no way I would miss taking the pill. It was very important.

If I missed even once accidentally, there was a chance I would get pregnant. And it would be very inconvenient for both of us.

Leandro carried me to the restroom and placed me in the tub. He got in with me as well and I leaned against his chest. I did not feel as shy as before being naked in front of him. But I still had a hard time looking at his naked body when he was staring at me.

“Thankfully, I brought something that will cover my full body,” I muttered, looking down at my body that was covered with red marks. Except for my face, there was not a single place that was untouched, unmarked, and unloved.

“You knew I would do this?”

“Remember the time when you first kissed my neck? You gave me a huge hickey.”

“Yeah, that time…,” he chuckled. “I couldn’t help it. You tasted too good.”

When we were together, time went very well. Not even once when I was with him, I was bored. I liked talking to him, listening to him, and just being silly with him. It was the perfect relationship that I wanted, a healthy and wonderful relationship with my loving Leandro.

“I don’t think it was enough for you,” I muttered.

“What?”

“Since it was my first time, I wasn’t sure about anything and couldn’t do it much. Perhaps it was not enough for you,” I said. “So, when we will do it next time, let’s do it until you are satisfied. Not now, of course. My body is really sore. If we do it again, I won’t be able to move at all. So, next time… Let’s do it lots next time.”

“You really are something… I know I can be shameless with my words, but you are really straightforward about everything,” he said.. “It’s really amazing, you know.”
