90 Dangers of the Elven Forest: A Wild Beast 5

He hadn't looked up, but the moment he did, he caught sight of her not too far from the trees. Neither of them moved, they just stayed there staring at each other.

Her eyes seemed to be glued on his muscular torso. His however, was glued to her face. He watched her every expression as she was mesmerized by his body. Slowly his gaze fell from her face to her chest. Due to his sensitive eyes, he could tell her erratic heart beat from how her cheat rose and fell.

That was his undoing, something about her watching him seemed to make his blood boil and her chest, the memory of her bathing flashed before his eyes again.

As if having a mind of its own, and wanting to proudly show itself to the damsel not paying attention to it, his lower member sprang up.

Astrid's eyes widened, when she noticed something poke out of the water. At a first glance she couldn't quite figure out what it was, but thanks to her heightened senses, she saw it clearly.

She quickly turned away in embarrassment. Her face was flushed red, she had seen him naked. At that moment he dipped himself back, using the water and his hand to cover himself up.

"I'm sorry... " she screamed. Without wasting much time she ran away. Not paying attention to where she was running to, all she knew was that she shouldn't have seen him and she felt embarrassed enough because of it.

Jareth couldn't believe what had happened, just when he was about leaving and happy that his member had gone down, it came back up and strong.

Before, he had tried not to let her see it or notice, but now... She saw it first hand, naked in its full glory. He wanted to chase after her, but now wasn't the time.

In fact scratch that, things just became a whole lot more awkward between them. How was he going to look her in the eye after this? Well he know he could, but Astrid wouldn't be able to.

"Damn she is so cute when she's embarrassed." He couldn't help but say. Her image flashed before his eyes again, he found himself laughing at her embarrassed self just now and someone or something was also excited to see her.

"What would I do with you?" He murmured as he started down at his hardened member.

Astrid ran for a while and then stopped to catch her breath. She fell against a tree and rested her back on it. Her hands reached up to cover her burning face.

"Gosh so hot!" Her thoughts ran wide and she found herself recalling what had happened. "But he does have a nice chest and built. Come on Astrid," she lightly slapped her cheek.

"It's improper for you to admire his naked chest. His.... His thing, sprang up, but why? Is he sexually excited or was he startled again because of me?" She questioned herself repeatedly.

"How am I ever going to look him in the eye again?

Before she could gather her thoughts and make sense of what was happening, a wild beast jumped in front of her. Her eyes opened wide with shock and she leaned back into the oak tree behind her.

Her eyes scanned her surrounding. It was now it became clearer to her that she ran in the wrong direction. She was supposed to head back to where White-Fire was, but now, she was faced with...

It was a monster, a giant beast with the body of a lion, the wings of a dragon, the head of a man, and a tail that ended in a mass of deadly spikes. It looked at her with sharp eyes, as though it was going to pierce her soul.

It breathed heavily as it watched his prey, ready to attack any minute. Astrid's heart began to beat faster with each passing second the beast stared at her.

Never in her whole life had she seen a creature of such. Her gaze searched her surrounding for the nearest escape route, all the while trying tlnot to make a careless move.

The animal watched her and moved in close to her. "Okay Astrid, deep breaths. On the count of three, you make a run for it." She said in her mind. "One, two... " she mentally counted.

As soon as she counted three and made to run back to where she was coming from, the beast pounced in her, but missed by a hair's breath.

Not waiting for anything she ran with top speed in between the trees. The beast chased after her, not wanting to let its prey escaped. Her heart was in her mouth as she ran, the fear, it roared as it chased on and she screamed in response.

When she got to a little clearing, the beast lept and stood in her path. She quickly stopped in her tracks and moved back gently. It bared it fangs at her and attacked.

"Aaaahhhhhhhhh!!!!!"
