"I have 6 years' worth of time. I'm sure if this doesn't work out then I'll find something else don't worry." I said to her and she nodded while shuffling her feet against the stone.
We were standing in the hallway next to my room where Julie currently was, she had caught me right before I opened the door and cornered me. I always managed to make them feel alright with my occasionally boneheaded decisions and this was no exception. With a polite bow, she excused herself and steps away from me before I turned my attention back to the door and wondered about my decision to myself.
Was I really making the right call?
This timeframe caused unnecessary stress where it shouldn't have and it was all done for this human girl. For my mate. Anything to keep her happy, absolutely anything, there was nothing I wouldn't do except give her away but I knew the odds were in my favor. Why did I have to make such stupid bets for myself though even when I was so sure of myself, even when I was so sure that I would have her?
Ah well, time to work on that bet.
I opened the door and heard someone squeal before running back. I lunged into the room and looked around with murderous eyes in order to see who would have harmed my beloved but it was only her, sprawled out on the chair while the projector flickered in the distance. I get to my feet and sigh before realizing what she was doing.
"Were you spying?" I asked her with heated eyes.
"....Yes...Look I'm sorry but you guys were talking and...it's my fault. I let that whole unofficial thing slip. I didn't even know that it was supposed to be unofficial." she said as she sat up on the couch.
"No, it's fine. I should have told you..." I groaned and walked over to the rock before plopping myself down on the couch beside her. To my surprise, she didn't move away like she did the other days.
"So...you made this deal with me and you weren't supposed to? Why do it then? Why do it when you could just take me and force me to live with you? That would have been legal and no one would have stopped you so why do this?" she asked me and I sighed in frustration.
"Because I got tired of your crying alright?" I partially lied and she looked like she was going to continue to probe me but all I heard was...
"Thank you ...thank you." she said and leaned in to press her face into my chest. I looked at her quizzically and pushed her away.
"Stop crying! Stop it! What are you doing?! I will punish you if you don't!" I grunted and she looked up at me with a smile and tear stained eyes.
"You don't have to act so cold..." she simply said and buried her face in my chest once more. I didn't expect such a response out of her but I was glad, at least somewhat.
I feel her cheek sliding against my chest and I sigh as I felt her hands wrap around mine. I can only sigh as she relaxes in my arms before separating from me. She glances at me and grins.
"But don't think I'm going to be falling for you or anything. Just know that I'm thankful..." she stated and my smirk appeared once more.
"Oh? Is that a challenge? The blush on your cheeks tells me that I've already made substantial progress." I stated and she frowned before turning away.
"That's not true...." she said and bit her lip while I only laughed.
"You are a strange human. You know that?"

Julie
I could scarcely believe that this man was risking it all just for my own happiness... the fact that he was, was mind-boggling.
I knew that he was pretty sure that he was going to win by the end of all of this but....really? Was he really doing that for me and that was it? Sure he was arrogant, gruff, and he couldn't understand what was running through my mind the entire time that I was with him but..he was considerate and I have come to understand what they mean when the called him kind and gentle.
He really was those things.
A couple of days passed and I find the fluttering in my heart when I looked at him increasing. I find my nervousness peaking when I'm around him and it feels as though something is about to explode inside of me when I glanced him over. Those physical sensations that I get had grown into something more, this warmth that was manifesting in every inch of my being when I looked him over was increasing dramatically.
He had human movies stockpiled onto his projector the entire time so we spent the days watching various human films. I had to teach him some of the slang and customs and watching him grow even more bewildered was quite amusing.
"What the hell is that?" he asked.
"That? That's a bear." I said while we both sat on the couch. I sat on the opposite end from him but there was a strong urge to join him. I shot him glances at times and I think he eventually got tired of the teasing and scooted over to me while I sat there.
"What are you-Hey!" I said with a small smile as he wrapped his arms around me, pulling me in for a hug while the movie flashed on in front of us. He gripped my back and I could feel his abs and pecs rubbing me through that thin layer of fabric. His entire body of rippling muscle was pressed against my curves that shook with every little breath.
"What is that bear doing to that man? My god it's terrible." he said with an exasperated sigh and I can only smile as I looked back at him while he held me in place.
"Not going to claim me?" I asked him.
"Don't have to. You're walking right into my arms." he said and reached around to rub my mounds while I only gently moaned. He smiles and releases his grasp on me, knowing full well what he was doing.
I didn't want to admit it but I wanted more.
And some nights that desire extended to the realm of dreams.
I stirred in my sleep and groaned. After about a week I actually invited him to the bed and told him I didn't mind him. That seemed to put a stupid grin on his face that couldn't be wiped off so that was nice but the effect of merely having his body near me became so intense.
I would try to shut my eyes and instantly be invited into the realm of carnal pleasure.
CHAPTER SIX
Julie
"Julie. You are mine, mine to claim. You are my mate and you'll stay here with me no matter what. For I command it, I command you and you are mine." he growled while on top of me. I opened my eyes in the middle of the night to see him pinning my arms to the side of my head as he leaned into me. I looked into his eyes and bit my lip as I looked across his entire body, he was completely nude.
"Please, please take me. I need it. I need to be mated with you..." I moaned, whimpering even.
He tightened his grip around my wrists and kissed me on the lips. The touch of his lips was like fire, like heat pressed against my flesh. I felt his lips dart across my face and he released his grip on my wrists to allow me to touch him. My fingers run across his abdomen and feel every single crack of his muscles while he moaned. He grabbed me and runs his fingers across my curves, he keeps his hands on my hips for but a moment while he kissed me over and over again. I groaned while his lips run from my chin to my neck, his fangs gently probe my flesh and I felt his hands run upwards towards my breasts.
"Yes, yes." I groaned as I felt his fingers pinching my nipples and tugging. I whimper and shook my head while I moaned, shaking and quivering while the heat gathered on my folds. I lean into him and nod while he kissed my collarbone and made his way for my neck. He kissed each of my mounds and runs his tongue across my nipples once while I arched my back and moaned out for him. It felt like a fire was brewing inside of my heart, I was ready to burst for him. His hands dart over my hips while he kissed my mounds, my ample breasts shake in his grasp as he enveloped my right with his lips while gripping my left with his hands. The feeling of that rough tongue and his fangs rushing over my nipples was almost too much to bear. I could already feel the heat gathering on my folds, I was already about to explode.
"More, more." I moaned as he runs his fingers across my curvy thighs and kissed my belly.
He is making his way towards my folds.
"Oh you want this don'
t you?" he asked me while the tip of his tongue rushed over my clitoral hood. I groaned and shrieked into my sheets as he nested his tongue in between my folds and only slightly rubbed them.
"Tell me that you will be mine. Tell me that you will be my mate." he commanded in a haughty tone and I nodded.
"I'm yours master. Oh god, I'm going to be your mate." I moaned softly. I feel myself quiver as he gripped my thighs before his tongue slides into me. I groaned as it squirmed and as the rough textures darted across every sensitive nerve bundle that I had.
"OH!" I moaned and tried to wrap my legs around his neck but he kept them pinned. His claws dart across my skin and I whimpered as I feel his tongue continue to do its magic.
You are mine. My property. I do with you as I please and right now I want you to beg me." he said.
"Yes, yes, oh god I'm your mate. Oh god, I want you more than anything else. Please give it to me, please give me everything that you have! I want all of it! I moaned loudly as his tongue continued to roll over my insides before he slipped it out and got in between my legs. His member hung there and was throbbing right in front of me while I stared at it. My entire body quaked and shivered while I gazed at him.
"Beg me." he said in a very matter of fact tone.
"Please..." I whimpered and he leaned forward.
But before I could sense anymore it all faded to black.
"Goddamnit." I muttered to myself as I woke up and looked over to see that he was already up. I look at my crotch and sure enough...there was a mess.
Crap.

"Come on, have you ever tried it?" he asked me and I shook my head.
"I don't think I want to." I state jokingly. I didn't really want to be in a swimsuit in front of him, much less being in a swimsuit in the midst of a frozen mountain.
"It's not even that cold, feel it." he said and I dipped my hand in the pool in front of me, it was warm to the touch.
We had hiked away from his little base and up a small trail before arriving at this wondrous little pool. It was apparently a hot spring from what I could gather and it was a nice one. There was steam sliding off of the surface and in this cold, the water would probably really nice. We had hiked up with swimsuits for the two of us and yet in the last few moments, I found myself hesitating.
"It won't be that bad. I'll jump in before you." he said and stripped off his coat in front of me. I gasped and stepped back before relaxing upon realizing that he had trunks on, I seemingly forgot that detail and secretly wished that it wasn't true.
He lets the coat fall to the stones beneath his feet before I gaze upon his incredibly muscular physique. Every inch besides part of his thighs and his crotch were revealed to me. I glanced over his abdomen and his chest, the rippling muscle tightened while he glanced me over. His eyes glued to me and I smiled at him in response as I blushed.
"Impressive?" he asked.
"Nothing I haven't already seen prince, now get in there." I said in a joking manner.
"Oh, so you're giving me orders now? I think you're forgetting your place but alright. I'll oblige." he said as he stretched out before stepping towards the pool.
His feet slide against the cold stone and I see his abs tighten up. The scars on his back shifted as his entire body flexed before she stepped in. He hurts his eyes and relaxed as he dipped his feet into the pool before diving in completely. He sinks beneath the surface before sticking his head back up. There were patches of scales on his back that glimmered and shone upon being struck with the water. His horns stick out of the surface and his muscular body tenses while he beckoned me into the pool of water. I can only shyly smile and feel a bit self-conscious.
"What are you worried about?" he asked.
"I...."
"Is it because you're afraid of showing your body? You're still the most beautiful woman that I have ever seen so don't worry, I won't be concerned...Hell you might be concerned that I'm staring in admiration a bit too much." he states and I laughed in response before nodding and letting the fabric fall from my body.
I shut my eyes and let the clothes fall to the stone beneath me as I am left in a bikini which was apparently what they thought standard swimwear in human realms was and it was but...hell I wanted to wear a one piece.
"Come on, come on..." he said with a smile and gently beckoned me into the water with his hands. His eyes were full of acceptance, of love, there wasn't an inch of disgust with me in that gaze of his and I was grateful.
"Alright then well..." I said and guided my foot towards the edge.
It has been nearly a week and a half since I have arrived and I found myself quickly adapting to my new life here. I actually liked it, I liked the people, the castle, and most of all I actually liked him. He wasn't nearly as callous and cold as he was before which I attribute to the warming sentiment between us as a result of us spending much time with one another. I was grateful for it as I have found a friend in whom I could confide.
"That's it, ease in." he said before I dipped entirely into the water. He pulls me into his grasp and I sighed while his hands wrapped around the back of my head. I sigh and let my breath scratch his chest as he holds me there, gliding across the water while I blushed and squealed.
"Come on, let's relax a while." he said and sat there beside me in the pool. He had dragged me over to the inside lip of the pool and now I was sitting on the rocks, glancing over at him as we washed our faces in the water.
"So what do you think? Is it a nice place?" he asked and I nodded slowly, glancing out amongst the mountains that were in stark contrast to the lands that I have lived in all my life, namely the barren desert world of Islani.
Yeah, it was nice. But the company was even better.

Julie
"How fares the prince? Is he living up to your expectations?" asked Yzadel and I blushed furiously while gazing at her.
"What do you mean?" I asked her and she rolled her eyes before turning around to grab some of her other tools. I was currently in her office for a checkup. I was seated on another U chair while watching her tend to matters on this computer behind her with a variety of medical tools laid out on the desk in front of her.
"You know what I mean, don't you? Is your relationship progressing or are you going to give him up?" she asked.
"I can't give him up ...I can't. He's chosen me so it's permanent isn't it?" I asked her and she chuckled.
"OH, you really think I buy all of that? It's not true and I know it. He's granted you a deal and it's entirely up to you whether you'd stay or not. So what is it like thus far?" she asked and I bite my lip.
It was almost two weeks into my stay, not exactly but it was getting a bit closer and now I was confronted with the question about what I really thought about the man. What did I think about him? I spent most of my time eating with him, watching movies, adventuring, wandering the castle, all of these things that I have done with him had led to this question and I could safely say that I held much more affection for him than I ever did when he first chose me.
I wasn't even quite sure what had led to this change. Whether it was the result of the mating pact coming into fruition or something else I didn't know. All that I knew was that I liked him as a friend and that I was...insanely attracted to him.
"I like him. He's a good man but...I am still unsure of my feelings." I said, she began pursing her lips with a knowing smile and rolling her eyes.
"Ahhh I know the answer already. Safe to say he has this under control." he said.
"What does that mean?" I asked accusingly.
"Nothing, nothing. Don't concern yourself with it. I might interrupt your constant thoughts about the prince." he said and I blushed in response.
It was true, I did think of him quite a bit didn't I?

Julie
And two weeks into the entire process he took me on this walk around the palace.
/>
"I can't believe how big this place is. My house is the size of one of your rooms and not even the big ones." I stammered and he only chuckled.
"Yes well, Morelen wealth buys a lot of things." he stated.
He leads me down the massive stone hallways. Unlike a human castle in those old movies, the walls were completely carved out of the mountains instead of being cobblestone. They were rough, jagged, and they were far more beautiful than any artificial creation that could have been made. There were jagged pattern of black, white, grey, all of these strange colors that runs through the rocks. The floor was covered in purple carpet and there were stone doors at various intervals.
“This way..." he said as he led me through this door that lead to this small walkway above what I presumed was the kitchen. I looked down at all the strange foods being brought through. There was a private kitchen connected to our room already but to see this was...astounding. There had to be 100 workers at least! Some were lugging in large crates of ingredients from god knows where and others were lined up along the tables, grilling, cutting, peeling, preparing meals for the prince and his "castle".
"Jorgo! How is it?" called the prince as he waved at one of the line cocks. The cook looked up at him with a smile and waved back.
"It's good sir! Going to have a good meal tonight!" he replied and the prince nodded, his eyelids slightly drooped over softly and it gave his face that carefree expression that I adored so much but that was relatively rare in comparison to his other expressions.
"Nice nice. How's your baby, Delia?" asked Mortok and the cook seemingly flinched before smiling brightly. I suppose it isn't every day that a prince talks to some line cook and asks about his children by name.
"She's doing well sir. She's doing well." the cook chirped and the prince nodded.
"How about I throw in a bonus for the end of this fero huh? It'll be for the baby, I promise." he said and the man nodded with a proud smile darting across his face.
