Let’s see what’s happening with Aoi

A/N - Not edited

Aoi wanted to reach out and touch Parker, but held himself back because he wasn't sure what he was feeling. He simply thanked Parker and walked past him, telling him they should continue taking down the warehouse, but Parker's next words made him pause.

"I will always protect you, Aoi. It is what I am supposed to do as your mate."

Aoi remembered turning and looking at Parker's handsome face. "I don't know what you mean by that."

Parker raised a brow. "Really," he said, walking closer to Aoi but not touching him, simply stopping in front of him. The difference in their height put Parker's chin level with Aoi's forehead, and Aoi was considered tall for a Nyxian. He was afraid to breathe with Parker standing so close, but the man's scent surrounded him anyway. The mix of sweat, blood, cologne, and a hint of mint filled his senses, almost making him dizzy.

"I know we're from different realms, but I'm sure you know what a mate means," Parker said.

"That's not what I meant."

Parker smiled and placed a finger under his chin, gently lifting Aoi's face until they were eye to eye.

"I won't force or rush you, Aoi. But just know that one day I will make you mine."

Until next time
