Research

Rose didn't need to ask twice as Ryan's body was already reacting on its own. She embraced his back tightly and he responded with the same, pressing her slim body against his chest.

"Mhmm, just like this…" Rose muttered softly, enjoying their hugs more and more.

She laid her head on his shoulder and took a big whiff while scratching his back. He smelled wonderful, sweet and sexy, making her nose lean to his neck for another sniff. They hugged so tightly earlier that some of her perfumes mixed with his own, creating a refreshing scent she could enjoy with each deep breath.

Ryan's hands didn't stay idle, feeling up her body from the waist up to her arms. It felt like a gentle massage until he suddenly reached downward, crossing the line of her hips and grasped onto her butt with both hands. He groped her so firmly that her whole body lifted, her shoes losing contact with the floor.

"Ah, Ryan…" she called out his name as a warning while wrapping around his head and waist for support yet he didn't listen, already drowned in his desires.

Rose already expected him to turn into a wolf in a matter of seconds but she wanted to enjoy some cuddles until that happens. A part of her wanted to know his true desires but she knew how dangerous it was.

Each second she spent on thinking what to do with him, he spent his own time on kissing, leaving one bite after another. Her neck was once again taken over by him. Two buttons of her shirt popped, unable to fight against his teeth and he slid lower, sucking on her collarbone while sending hot breath inside her shirt.

She momentarily felt hot, as if he set fireworks in her throat which slowly burned, warming up her chest.

"Ah—" An uncontrollable moan left her mouth but Rose quickly covered her mouth to stop herself from letting any other sounds. Just this much was enough to decide on her final verdict.

She had to stop him now before he went too far.

If they were at home, in a safe environment, there was a chance she would let him continue for just a short while longer but they were in public, with people all around. Just the thought of someone else hearing them in the other changing room made her blood rush.

Rose didn't waste any more time and entangled her fingers into his hair, pulling him away from her. She could stop him directly but she wanted to see his face for her research. By understanding how his urges worked, she could find a way to stop them from happening.

Unfortunately, it was easier said than done. She gently pulled on his hair yet Ryan resisted, not letting go of her. Instead, he attacked her with a new intensity, pinning her back to the wall. She had no other way but to use even more strength on him.

"Ryan… Look at me…" Rose whispered bravely, finally jerking him off her and gazed into his blue eyes.

They were just as she remembered, full of desire and thirst. She couldn't help but shiver, finding herself under the stare of a predator who wanted to eat her. Even though it wasn't the first time, she once again felt the rush of helplessness throughout her body, his gaze commanding her to yield or get eaten.

Her throat got dry but she didn't give up. She was still the one in control.

"St—" Rose was about to stop his trance when she halted herself, suddenly coming up with an idea.

Recalling her chat with Ryan, she remembered he was conscious during his urges. It wasn't like he forgets everything he does in such a state. He just couldn't fully control it.

"Can you hear me?" Rose asked curiously, looking straight into his crazed eyes.

She watched him for any changes in his behavior and immediately got excited. His lips parted as if he wanted to reply to her before trembling and returning to its previous state. This could only mean one thing.

He could hear her!

Rose felt as if she discovered a new continent but it really was a massive finding. It meant that no matter what was causing those urges, there was a chance he could still control it after some practice.

She didn't wait and quickly tested her theory once again.

"If you can hear me, blink twice…" Rose whispered, gently holding onto his face and surprisingly, Ryan blinked twice in the next moment which made her ecstatic.

Holding him in place, she tried from a different perspective, wanting to test even more things. In the moment of excitement, she even forgot they were still in public, something she was really worried about a second ego.

Looking into his eyes with an alluring gaze, she muttered softly, "Tell me what you want… If you tell me I will give it to you…"

Her curiosity was much stronger than her shyness. She wanted to help him really badly too.

Ryan opened his mouth and finally spoke, "I—"

His voice cracked after just one letter but that gave Rose even more hope. It was the first time he spoke during his urges.

She didn't let him breathe and pushed him further, "I will do anything. Just tell me what you want. Talk to me."

"K-kiss…" Ryan pleaded quietly, his eyes leaking with desire. His voice was still breaking and he stuttered but she understood him.

"You want a kiss?" Rose asked while curling her arms around his head. She didn't yet dare to release him fully, feeling his gentle rubs on her bottom.

"Yes…" Ryan confirmed with a slight nod and leaned over, ready to kiss her but she held him off, not giving him this change yet. She wanted to talk even more with him, hoping he would recover some of his control.

"Where do you want me to kiss?" Rose questioned, getting him more comfortable with talking.

"My neck…" Ryan replied, gulping down his saliva and looked at her with a begging gaze as if it was something he always wanted.

How could she refuse when he was watching her with such yearning.

"You are making me feel bad…" Rose muttered, rubbing his cheek as she contemplated what to do next.

She could give him a reward for being a good boy. It would be the first time she did something couple-like from her own accord. It was always Ryan initiating all the kisses they had.

"Kiss me…" Ryan repeated his plea and Rose finally bent to his demands.

"Okay, I will do it…" Rose decided but gave out one condition. "I will only do it if you hold still…"

Ryan didn't respond this time so she asked again to be sure, "Don't move, okay?"

The only reply she got was a gentle stare so she gave up, trying to slowly release him to check if he understood. She slid off his waist, regaining her contact with the floor and unwrapped the lock on his head, only holding the back of his hair just in case.

Surprisingly, he didn't throw himself at her but he didn't stay entirely still. He gripped her relaxed butt while creeping one of his hands up, copying her movements. His fingers found its way through her straight hair and ended up on her neck.

With how he held her, it seemed like Ryan didn't give her a chance to back away from her claims.

Meanwhile, Jennie and Lisa were done trying on their clothes, leaving their changing room.

"This blouse looked cute on you. You should definitely buy it," Jennie commented happily, satisfied with her hunting. She got a short pencil skirt for the office, adding another one to her big collection.

"Alright, then I will buy it," Lisa decided quickly, finding it pretty as well. "We can still visit other stor—"

She didn't get to finish her sentence as Jennie suddenly pulled her back and put a finger up to her lips.

Shh…

Lisa didn't know what Jennie wanted, shushing her like that but then she heard a faint female voice coming from a changing room.

"You don't need to push on my head… I will do it on my own…"

She immediately realized what they were doing.

They were eavesdropping!

What was worse, she remembered this particular changing room and that female voice.

It was her student!

'What are you doing?!' Lisa mouthed words without speaking them out loud but Jennie only grinned and came closer to the curtain.

Lisa couldn't allow that so she grabbed Jennie by the arm, planning on pulling her away before they got caught when she heard a male moan coming from the inside.

Ahh…

In between his moan, they heard kissing sounds, making it perfectly obvious what they were doing.

To make it worse, Rose, who looked like an innocent student, seemed to enjoy the dirty talk as she asked her boyfriend, "Do you like it this way…? Should I kiss it more...?"

Although Lisa wasn't oblivious to such intimacy, she still blushed, her mind showing images of the scene behind the curtain. She imagined Rose on her knees, doing her boyfriend a pleasant favor but she quickly shook her head to throw them out of her mind.

She didn't hesitate and walked out of the changing rooms, dragging Jennie with her towards the cash register. When they were further away, Lisa scolded unhappily, "Dummy, what was that? Don't eavesdrop on my students."

Jennie smirked and instead of apologizing, she asked playfully, "Do you think Ryan would enjoy some sexy action in the changing room?"

"I'm breaking up with you," Lisa called out without hesitation and walked away, not falling into Jennie's trap.

"Lisa, wait, I was just joking. Don't leave me~"
