Irina was one-quarter Russian as her paternal grandmother was a Russian. As a result, her skin was white as snow and comparable to those of Caucasians. Her dark brown hair was slightly wavy, and her legs were long and proportionate. Her chest was a D-cup, a size that would make her proud.

Having a well-endowed chest as a sixteen-year-old young girl caused her classmates to give her odd looks and make fun of her, but her chest was honestly very attractive. Although her classmates didn’t admit it, they somewhat envied her for that.

Although Damien could only see Irina’s back, the sight of his female’s fair skin and graceful curves caused his body to suddenly heat up. Heat rushed to his abdomen and his mouth turned dry. He felt extremely awful, but he couldn’t take his eyes off of her.

This was a female’s body? Damien used to think females weren’t that attractive, but now, he suddenly thought that they were the most beautiful beings in the world. Was he supposed to feel this way towards a female he liked?

Damien felt that he’d turned into a brainless beast who lost his mind after having a female.

Irina sensed that the atmosphere was weird as she showered. She wrapped her arms around her chest and turned around. The sight before her eyes frightened her.

A pair of shockingly bright golden eyes stared at her in the darkness. The feral look in those eyes was so fierce and malicious that it seemed like she would be attacked at any moment.

All the hairs on Irina’s body stood on end. Damien’s eyes landed on her fair chest, which appeared plumper due to her arms pressing against it. This caused the heat he had under control to rush through his body like lava from a volcanic explosion. His nose bled profusely and something on his lower body stood upright, poking right through his skirt.

“Bang—!”

Damien ran like the wind as he rushed out the door. It was bright in the house for a moment before it was plunged into darkness once more. Luckily, the door could be pushed open easily. Otherwise, Damien definitely would have broken it in his haste.

Irina remained where she was, confused about what just happened. Then, she heard a plop, as if something had fallen into the water. At that moment, she realized something and shrieked. “Ah!”

Sh*t! Damien is a leopard! A leopard is a nocturnal animal! It can see in the dark!

Didn’t that mean he had seen her bare body?

Irina was about to cry at her stupidity. Afraid that Damien would come back, she quickly finished showering and haphazardly put on her tube top and skirt.

Irina then sat in the grass nest. Damien only returned after a long while, his whole body damp from jumping into the water. When he opened the door, no light entered the house as it was completely dark outside.

“I still need water.” Irina hugged her knees as she glared unhappily at Damien and added softly, “I want to rinse my mouth.”

Damien’s eyes flashed as he glanced at Irina. He then grabbed the stone basin and left. Both of them seemed nervous and awkward. Before long, Damien came back with the basin filled with clean water. After Irina brushed her teeth, she and Damien stared at each other in the dark house.

“Let’s go to sleep.” Damien was eventually the one who broke the silence. He took off his wet skirt and sat on the grass nest. Irina didn’t have much of a reaction since she couldn’t see what Damien was doing.

There was only this pile of grass in the house. There were no tables, chairs, or other furniture for people to sit on, and there was dirt all over the floor. Irina stood beside the stone basin and remained still. She looked at Damien’s figure and asked, “Where am I going to sleep?”

Damien patted the grass next to him. “Sleep here. The grass nest I made is very soft, and it’s very comfortable to sleep in.”

After hesitating for a long time, Irina still walked over to him. She was just going to sleep beside him. It wasn’t like that would make her pregnant.

She held down her extremely short skirt as she stepped over Damien’s waist. She then stiffly lay down while holding onto the wooden wall and kept a safe distance from him.

However, Damien rolled over and reached out his slim yet muscular arms to pull Irina into his embrace. He even placed one of his legs over hers.

Irina quickly placed a hand against Damien’s chest. Although she was flustered, she asked him in a fierce voice, “What are you doing? Let go of me.”

Damien pressed his face against Irina’s. It felt nice and smooth. “You haven’t gone into heat, so I’m not going to copulate with you yet. It’s okay, though. We can use this time to deepen our bond.”

Co… copulate?

Irina’s pale face flushed red, then the color drained from her face again. It was quite a spectacular sight. “Copulate, my foot!”

And what “going into heat”—did he take her for a female beast? She was sure she would never be able to do that.

The look on Damien’s face seemed weird for a moment, and the expression in his eyes as he looked at Irina was unreadable. “Copulate with your foot? So that’s what you like…”

Irina was confused. She couldn’t understand what Damien said, but it sounded extremely filthy. The hug felt abnormally warm and Irina struggled to break away from him. “Let go of me.”

“Ugh!” Damien let out a muffled sound. Irina immediately felt a hard stick poke her thigh. It felt as hot as a glowing iron bar.

Before her brain could react, Irina moved tentatively. She then felt the stick twitch violently.

“Ah—!”

Finally connecting the dots in her head, Irina screamed as she harshly pushed Damien and got up.

“Don’t move.” Damien’s voice was scarily hoarse as he hugged Irina tightly, his hot breath panting against her neck.

Although Irina didn’t have much life experience, she was pretty good at biology. She quickly calmed down and didn’t dare to move. She stammered, “You said you wouldn’t… c-copulate with me.”

“Of course.” Damien panted heavily.

“Then, why’d you…” Irina was too embarrassed to finish her sentence. However, it was obvious what she was talking about.

“That’s because I like you. All males will react like this around the females they like. What’s so weird about that?” Damien answered calmly as if his reaction was perfectly normal. However, his tan face was now completely red and his leopard ears were hot to the touch.

This was the first time he reacted like that around a female. How could he not be embarrassed?

Irina didn’t notice Damien’s predicament as it was too dark in the house.

“Excuses!” Irina retorted. Seeing that Damien didn’t lose control, she remained still.

They were silent for the rest of the night.

Irina didn’t know how long she continued to be awkward around Damien for and eventually fell asleep. When she woke up, she found herself hugging something warm and furry. She rubbed her face against it, thinking it was her large doll.

Wait a minute—since when did her doll feel this nice and warm?

Irina sleepily opened her eyes and came face to face with a bright-eyed leopard.

Seeing that Irina had woken up, Damien purred and lovingly licked Irina all the way up the side of her face with his long and thin tongue.

Before sensing his affection towards her, Irina first felt tingling pain on her face. She felt like her face had been scrubbed by a brush as the leopard’s tongue was covered in spines.

“That hurts.” Irina cradled her face and whined. Her voice was somewhat hoarse since she had just woken up. The corners of her eyes were slightly downturned from the pain, making her look even more innocent.

Damien purred. How could that be?

He didn’t believe her. It didn’t hurt when he licked himself. He transformed back into a human and moved Irina’s hand away. Her fair face was now slightly red.

“Why is your skin so tender?” Damien asked worriedly. For the first time, he felt that his female’s fair and tender skin was a bad thing. He couldn’t lick her to his heart’s content.
