He was a stranger passing through a small rural town that was surrounded by myths and legends. He wasn’t interested in them at the time, but he was slowly becoming interested in the myths. He was in a type of bar and diner place. He was sitting at the bar, drinking a beer.

“Where you hail from, stranger?”

“No place, really.” He says, his voice is neutral, but the tone tells the bartender it’s better to just leave it alone.

“Well, you’ll like it here. It’s a quiet town, everyone knows everyone, but they all kind of mind their own business.”

“Thanks, but I’m just passing through.”

“I understand. This town isn’t for everyone.”

“You’re telling me, Corsair. I remember back in the day when the town was a safe place to live.” An older man says. One of the waitresses looks at the bartender and walks away. The stranger raises his eyebrow. That got his attention.

“Quiet, Orin. Not everyone wants to hear about our troubles.”

“What troubles?” The stranger asks.

“Don’t listen to him. He’s a crazy old man. Most of the residents don’t listen to him either.”

“You all should. You’re fools if you don’t believe that the grims exist.”

“Stop, Orin. You always scare people away.” The waitress says, scolding the older man. She looks over at the stranger. “Pay him no mind, stranger. He’s harmless but his stories are nonsense.”

“You won’t call them nonsense when one of your loved ones are kidnapped in the middle of the night.”

“Hush.” A patron says, but the room goes quiet as a young woman walks in. The stranger looks back at her. He’s curious at the beautiful creature that has everyone frozen in silent fear.

She wears a dark blue, light blue and gold hanbok top with black pants. It would be a traditional hanbok if she were wearing a long skirt but it would seem that she had shortened it to look more like a shirt than a long skirt. Her hair is short, concave bob haircut with a long ponytail in the back.

“Afternoon.” The waitress says. The young woman smiles. She walks over to the diner and talks to the older woman there. She’s the only one who’s not afraid of this mysterious young woman.

The young woman walks over to the bartender and hands him a wrapped package. He looks at it.

“Alice told me about your stomach. I made a mixture that you should boil and drink two cups a day. It should subside in a few days.” She holds in out to him. He doesn’t take it at first, afraid of what it contains.

“It’s disrespectful to not accept a gift.” The stranger says. The bartender still doesn’t move. The stranger sighs and takes the package out of her hands. She watches him open it and examines it.

“It’s just a mixture of roots and herbs. It’s a natural anti-inflammatory and acid reducer.” The stranger says and sets it down.

“Thank you.” The bartender says, softly. He’s embarrassed. She looks at the stranger, he looks at her.

He swallows hard and looks away. She turns towards him and bows to him.

“Stop that.” He says. It’s bothersome to accept such a polite gesture from a beautiful woman. It’s almost embarrassing. He’s never done anything that would warrant such a response.

“Thank you, sir.” She walks past him, touching his back lightly.

It was an almost electrifying touch.

The bartender watches her leave. The whole room breathes a sigh of relief. The older woman by the diner walks over to the bartender and slaps his hand.

“She worked long and hard on that mixture for you. I told her how you complained about your stomach for days and that’s how you repay her? Coco should never have made that. I feel bad for the way you people mistreat her.” She scolds them all and walks back to her counter.

“Your wife’s right.”

“That’s the myth in human form.” The old man, Orin says. The stranger looks back at him and raises an eyebrow.

The stranger leaves, the night was fast approaching, and the streets were emptying fast. The stranger was watching from the front of the post office, watching the place empty. People were locking themselves in their homes and locking their windows. Animals were brought inside. The police forces were preparing for the night.

“Might want to get in someplace safe.” A man dressed in armor says. “It’s a new moon.”

“What’s that got to do with anything?”

“The grim comes out to hunt.” Another one of the men says. “We patrol the town to prevent those despicable creatures from killing or kidnapping any more of our townspeople.” He’s angered and pissed.

“How about I add my services to your forces?” He offers. The men are surprised; he doesn’t seem capable, but they won’t say no to every able body protecting their town. He stands up, he’s dressed like a wandering warrior, but he doesn’t use many weapons unless it’s presented to him.

He’s told where to go and told to kind of watch that area. As the sun is setting, there’s a little cafe in a mostly residential area. It closes and that same beautiful young woman walks out. She locks it and looks at him. He watches her.

“You helping out?” She asks. He nods lightly.

“I am. I’m assuming you should have left for home a while ago.”

“I’m not afraid to walk out at night.” He raises an eyebrow. “Well, good luck tonight. Keep your senses sharp and your eyes open.” She walks away.

The stranger walks around the area, coming to the edge of the town and looks into the forest. It seems to come alive now that the sun has finally set. He doesn’t really know what to expect, but at the moment he didn’t want to continue on his journey. The forest though…it gives him the creeps, there’s strange noises coming from it. Not like the other parts of the forest he was walking through. The animal noises didn’t sound like traditional animal noises. They sounded…like that night.

He takes a few steps towards the forest, but stops, hearing the forces back in town, yelling.

“The grim’s been spotted! The grim’s been spotted!” One of the men yells before there’s blood curdling screams and sounds of flesh ripping. He takes off running and finds the dead man but nothing that could have done it. He kneels and looks at the markings. The grim they refer to is some kind of feline. He looks up and around, now he’s on alert. He walks away from the body and slowly walks down the street. He stops and looks at glowing eyes. He stops dead in his tracks, seeing a very rare sight of a large feline with a black body with shimmery blue fur that reflects in the dim light.

Those eyes…

They’re burned in his memory.

He takes a step closer and the feline takes off. He chases after it, it heads into the forest. It has a lithe body and moves quickly. He enters the forest and looks for its tracks through the almost pitch-black forest.

After running for what seems like forever, dodging around trees and jumping over trunks. He can barely hear any other footsteps but his own with leaves crunching underfoot. He comes to a spring with a cascading waterfall and stops, taking a deep breath. He doesn’t know what it was, but from what he could see it was a beautiful creature.

He hears rustling behind him, and he grabs a dagger and stands and turns in a fluid motion seeing the young woman they called Coco standing there. She’s wrapped in some kind of blanket or something.

“What’re you doing here, dressed like that?” He asks, confused, looking down at her.

“What’re you doing here?”

“I was…” He swallows hard. He can smell her pheromones. They are strong and heady.

“What’re you…” He has to swallow again. His mouth is dry though.

“You should go home.” There’s more rustling and she turns around. There are more of those felines. They are growling, slowly walking towards him. She wraps the blanket around her and makes a dress and grabs his hand, pulling him from the spring. He just follows behind.

They reach an abandoned hut and walk in. She closes the door. It’s a basic two room hut with a raised floor. It looks like its been abandoned for years, left exactly as it is. There’s dust everywhere.

His heart is racing and for some reason his body is very hot. His mind is cloudy and thinking things he hasn’t thought about in a long time. He looks back at her and walks towards her.

“They call you Coco, right?” She nods lightly. The heat coming off him is still strong. Even from the bar and diner. All she did was just slightly graze her hand. She didn’t know it would affect him like this.

“What do they call you?” She asks.

“Kihyun.” He says and kisses her.

She doesn’t even fight him. He wraps his arm around her, pulling her closer. The kiss is overpowering and his sticks his tongue in her mouth, causing her to moan lightly. Their tongues dance together, making his body tremble. She helps remove his shirt, he’s breathing hard, enjoying her hands on his bare skin, it feels like his skin is going to burst into flames. She kisses his chest and licks his collarbone. He moans softly, but grabs the back of her head and kisses her hard on the lips, overwhelming her completely. He presses her against the door and removes the blanket. He grabs her legs and lifts her up, wrapping her legs around his waist. She gasps, feeling him pressing against her.

He kisses her neck and licks and s*cks on it lightly. She moans and arches her body, pressing against him more.

“I think I was drawn to this town because of you.” He gets out, kissing her more. She runs her fingers through his hair. He carries her over to the raised floor, without removing his shoes he steps up onto it and leans back, holding onto her.

She watches him reach for his long jacket and lies it down and sets her down on it. He sucks on her neck some more before dragging his tongue down her body. She whimpers as he kisses her br*ast, massaging the other. He teases the hard n*pple, lightly nipping at it and tracing his tongue around it.

She runs her leg up and down the side of his body, she enjoys him touching her so much. She puts her hand over his, kind of grabbing his hand to be a little more forceful. He does and pinches the n*pple between two fingers and twists it lightly. She moans and bites her lower lip. He grabs the other n*pple between his teeth before sucking it. She gasps, feeling that other hand moving down the side of her body. He traces his fingers around her entrance, and she whines. He smiles and just keeps teasing her.

“Kihyun…” She whimpers. He finally trails his tongue down her body to her legs and kisses the inside of her thigh.

He kisses her entrance and licks tentatively. She gasps lightly, one leg is over his shoulder, a foot resting on his back. He keeps going, pressing a little bit more. He sticks a finger inside her while tracing and licking the hard nub that he found. She moves a little, he grips her hip and holds her in place.

“Kihyun…” She gets out, whining in frustration. He becomes bolder and sticks his tongue inside still moving his finger in and out, slowly. She moans and groans. He’s trying to stay clear-headed, but it’s been a long time for him.

“That feels so good…” She gets out, stressing the last word. He keeps going. She feels her body getting hotter and she starts to move, trying to run from the feeling. He chases her and wraps his arms around her waist, keeping her in place. He’s getting into it more, driving her closer to her org*sm, ready to push her off it.

She massages her br*asts, adding to the feeling. Her heart is racing, and she doesn’t know if she can hold back anymore. She breathes hard, her chest heaving with each moan. Kihyun is going to drive her insane.

“I…I think I’m gonna…” She moans out loud, releasing hard. Kihyun licks it up. Her body had lurched hard, but he followed her, kept going until she couldn’t anymore. He sits up, still licking her.

“Please, no.”

He smiles evilly. Her legs dangle behind him. She whimpers and whines, moving, trying to get away from him. She’s so sensitive and his touch is frying her nerves. It feels so good.

“What’s the matter, Coco? Can’t take it anymore?” She shakes her head. She takes a deep breath and feels him move and lie against her, flexing his hips pressing against her.

“Too bad. I’m enjoying myself.” He moves his hand down and pulls himself out and traces himself at her entrance. He’s on his knees slightly. She gasps and moans softly.

“Please…” She begs. He smiles.

“Please?” she nods lightly, moaning at his teasing. He slowly pushes inside her and settles just for a minute before he starts moving.

He tingles, finally getting to be inside her. She claws his back. The feeling is delicious. He moves faster, as his own flames are stirred inside. His intestines twitch and the muscles of his legs are tight. He kisses and nibbles her neck. She runs her fingers through her hair. He is drowning in her, but he pulls himself from falling into the abyss and enjoying himself completely. He pulls out and turns her onto her stomach and lifts her hips. He pushes back inside with a little more force, making her groan. He holds her hips with one hand and touches her, making her moan and her voice tremble.

“I don’t…I can’t—Kihyun…” She whines.

“Don’t you dare finish; I’ll pull out and leave you.” She shakes her head, her hands in tight fists.

He grabs her hair and pulls her head up. She moans lightly. He’s over the moon of feeling her. He stops touching her, causing her to whine.

“Don’t worry, baby…” He gets out. His voice is deep and husky. He’s sinking back into the whirling abyss. He can feel butterflies throwing themselves against his insides.

As he feels himself getting closer, he grabs her arm and pulls her back towards him. One hand automatically goes down to her entrance and starts rubbing the sweet spot again. She moans and reaches back a hand touching his hair. He kisses and licks her skin. The other hand runs up and down her sweaty body massages a ****** for a little bit before grabbing her throat.

“Faster…” She gets out.

“You know it…” He says, his voice vibrating. He doesn’t know if he can keep it up any longer, she feels so good. He wants to keep sinking himself in her every night.

“Kihyun…I’m so~~ close…” She whines.

“I know. I’m almost there.” He says, going faster. His body feels like it’s going to break but he needs this. He needs to satisfy her and himself at the same time.

“Kihyun-ah…” She whines out. His body reacts to that sound and he’s pushed over the cliff. She yells, arches her body hard.

“Don’t hold back, love. I’m coming too.” He groans the rest out as it was so hard. He immediately let go of her throat and grabbed her waist and hips. Her body twitches from the hard org*sms she just had. Her body is quite literally spent. He just clasps her hip, moving his hips back and forth lightly to satisfy that high.

She sighs lightly and rests her head on her arms, he watches her lie there.

“You should convince your clan to leave the area. These townspeople are dangerous, and their men are determined.” he says and pulls out and stands up. He fixes his pants and goes and grabs the blanket she had around her and walks back over to her. He covers her up. She looks at him.

“You know?”

He nods. “I’m a trained hunter.” Her eyes widen. She starts to move back. He grabs her and pulls her close.

“Let me go.” She struggles. He grabs her and pulls her close to him. He hugs her tight.

“They’ll find you eventually and kill you all. I don’t want that to happen to you.” He says, hugging her tight.

“What do you care? You’re a filthy hunter.” She says.

“You let this filthy hunter screw you and touch you and you’ll let me touch you again.” He kisses her and moves the blanket aside. She gasps and moans into his mouth. She does want more of him.

He screws her senseless all night.

“Just promise me, Coco, that you’ll not be around.” He says, lying next to her after another round. She nods lightly. He leans in for another kiss. He wants her to come with him, but how can he ask her to up and leave with him?
