Later. While Keon was in bed, Javier lay on the self-made sofa in the living room and turned from side to side. But it wasn't the uncomfortable lying position that prevented him from falling asleep. He had to get up. The light was still on in the bedroom, but it was quiet, no nervous man tossing and turning. "I can smell you. What's up?".

Javier stopped outside the curtain. “I’m sorry, I… I didn’t mean to watch you”/ “Sure? Your scent tells me something different." Javier felt caught. After all, there lived an animal in Keon whose sense of smell is many times better than that of a normal human. “Now you’re stressed, relax, okay? Stressed prey only attracts him."

Javier took a few steps into the bedroom. “Sorry, I don't mean to irritate it” / “It only feels irritable when someone is stressed. Someone who is stressed is easy prey, there is no exception. So like I said, relax, okay? “/“that… It’s not that easy”/“yes, I notice that. Do you want to talk about it? “/ “haven’t you already analyzed everything through my scent?”

“I can't read everything from it, but I can read a lot. I just didn't think I could trigger certain...feelings in a male person..."/ "You trigger... nothing, I..."/ "Please... don't pretend unnecessarily, Javier. So, do you want to talk about it? So that I understand it, with us wolves there is no such thing, and the lower-ranking males were not allowed to approach a female" / "But you are no longer low-ranking, and... I am not a female"

Keon couldn't help but grin slightly. Indeed, there was no female standing in front of him, but a man, just like him. "You know what scares me a little right now?"/ "No, what?"/ "That what comes from you is quite… pleasant to me… It was like that earlier after dinner, when I had the same smell of you in my nose. And I know that smell from the others, but that usually meant, be careful, don't come any closer"…

"But I'm not one of the others… So you have nothing to fear from me." Keon smiled again. "I wouldn't fight you either, you're too weak and too unstable for that. But you still haven't answered my question…". Javier was a little embarrassed… "It's… I can't tell you exactly, I just know that a woman, however attractive and nice she may be, doesn't trigger anything in me. But when a man crosses my path… Is that different"/ "Does every man trigger that in you?"/ "No, not every man"…

Keon moved closer to the foot of the bed so that he was sitting close to Javier. And his gaze was hard to interpret, almost a little shy and considering, he looked up at him. "A suggestion… We'll share the bed tonight. In the pack, we always slept close to the others after the hunt. I know we haven't hunted, but maybe right now… The same wishes?"/ "because you can smell me well? hn". Javier grinned with just one corner of his mouth.

“That's not funny, Javier... There's more going on here than I could ever imagine. I just want you to lie down with me... You definitely don't leave the oven on at night, do you?"/ “no, out of caution, in case a spark breaks out”/ “and it’s definitely very cold here at night”/ “yes… by the water anyway”/ “so…?”/ “O.k., then you have to make room for me” .

Keon lay down a little on the other side, but only halfway, which almost made Javier grin a little. "The bed is so wide and you're not taking advantage of it…"/ "I just… Don't want to lie so far away from you". The smirk turned into a quiet smile. "And now, should I nuzzle your neck a little or how is it with you?"/ "When we're in a pack, we just warm up to each other and… It strengthens the bond between each other"

"And you didn't have any strange thoughts running through your head?" Javier ran his fingers through Keon's hair, starting at the roots and slowly combing it from front to back. "Not when we're lying next to each other, full of adrenaline and fully eaten as animals, nobody thinks about that."/"So you all just wanted to sleep… O.k… are you cold?"/"A little…".

Javier's whole body was tense as he slowly lay down with his back to him. At the moment, this was the only logical position for him to warm someone else. Almost simultaneously and naturally, Keon put his arms around him and pulled him close. Javier felt his breath on his shoulder. Keon inhaled deeply. "You smell like… earth, the sea… and the other thing I like about you right now." A low, almost affectionate, vibrating growl could be heard.

The tension in Javier's body eased after a few seconds. Keon's grip was firm, but he still gave him enough room to breathe. They lay like that for quite a while, cuddled up close to each other. Until Javier unexpectedly felt Keon's warm lips on his neck. He was overcome with goose bumps and his little hairs stood on end. "hn, if only I wasn't so tired already…"

“Then… What?”/ “Then I would fulfill more than one wish for you and myself. But this…was the biggest wish I had at the moment…your warmth." Javier held on to his arms. He enjoyed it and Keon noticed it because that pleasant smell came back to his nose. “Don’t… let’s sleep, I have to get my strength back first.”.... “mhm”.

OMG, why no one told me Fantasy Isle is SO beautiful?

In my last post I introduced the Harrison brothers. The older of the two, Heath, has been suffering from a rash on his face for a long time. So far he hasn't wanted to accept help. But one evening when Heath was scratching his skin bloody, his brother Hunter told him that things couldn't go on like this. And Heath finally saw that his brother was right. And so Hunter set out the next morning to get someone to look at his brother. ((a little bit Text under every pic, if you like to read)) 😉

“Good morning… Sorry to disturb you so early…”/ “You sound a bit worried, so it must be important. You're not inconvenient, I've been awake for over an hour taking care of the garden"/"O.K. it's about my brother, someone should take a closer look at him. His face… he looks like he's been stung by a few bees, but that's not the case, there must be something else that makes him look like that."

“And you want me to look at it?”/ “I don’t know who else to ask, maybe Dana?”/ “That would have been an option. What does it all look like exactly?…”/ “It’s a kind of rash, but it doesn’t seem to be contagious, otherwise I would have it too. It's worst in the evening and he scratches himself bloody every time"/"oh dear… Well then let's go, I'll take a look at it"…

Hunter walked with Gwen at a leisurely pace so they could chat along the way. But there wasn't much to say at that moment. He took her hand and looked straight ahead as he ran. She liked the gesture and enjoyed the feeling of being needed. “So you two live out here…”/ “yeah, not really inviting, I know”.

„Well, let's put it this way, it's not exactly in the area that would necessarily attract me, but if I know that there's someone here who needs help, I'm happy to go there”/ “O.K. He's sometimes a bit abusive, dissatisfied, frustrated… But I think it's all because of this, it puts a lot of stress on him"/"I think I can deal with that kind of attitude, hn". She smiled understandingly.

When they entered the house together, Heath was already sitting on a chair, apparently waiting. “Heath, that’s…”/ “oh, a redhead, those are the worst of them all”/ “pleasant, Gwen. What do they say to us red-haired women?” He quickly realized that she would not be intimidated. “Um, forget it. So you want to take a look at my face? Go ahead, it’s a curse anyway, I think.”…

She took a few steps towards him, confident, so much so that it almost made him recoil in the chair. “Who would have put this curse on you, Mister Harrison? Something like that shouldn't be trifled with. And, hn, yes, it does look a little like they've stuck their head in a beehive.". Heath looked at his brother somewhat disdainfully.. “did you say that?”/ “what? I had to describe it somehow." Heath shook his head annoyed. Then Gwen took another step towards him.. "I need to take a closer look, okay?"/ "phh, sure…".

She got as close to him as she could and took a good look at him. “mh…mhm…”/ “Hey, I have the rash on my face and not on the top of my skull”. She looked at him seriously. “I wanted to see for myself, okay? So you only have it on your face and nowhere else on your body?”, He grinned. “I can also take my pants down if you want?” She smiled. “hn, no, someone else has already made me this offer”/ “oh yeah? Let me guess, my little brother?”/ “Shut up!”

She took his head and turned it to all sides to look closely at the spots. “Hey, it could be a little gentler, right?”/ “hehe, you’re not used to that, brother, are you?”/ “shut u-…”/ “Do you often feel tired, Mister Harrison? What are your eating habits?”…

. "What do my eating habits have to do with it?"/ "Oh, probably a lot, so…?"/ "pff, so… Fish and… And"/ "he eats nothing but fish, no side dishes, not even potatoes, he could be a fish himself and he'd still eat himself." Gwen looked at him more seriously again. "You should really cut down on that as soon as possible, preferably cut it out completely for a while"/ "Why?"/ "You've developed an allergy and a severe vitamin deficiency".

"So you're telling me I can't eat any more fish, Ginger lady"/ "Gwen! And yes, that's what I'm saying. You should get into the habit of eating more vegetables. And meat only once a week. At least until things have improved. I'll also bring some homemade ointment"/ "now you know why mother always used to tell you to eat your vegetables, hehe". Again, Heath looked at his brother with narrowed eyes "You really don't know when to shut up, do you?"/ "hey, your brother's just worried!"

"And you're really convinced that it comes from eating a lot of fish?"/ "For sure. if you eat too one-sided a diet, your body will go on strike at some point. And you've really scratched yourself enough, surely you want this itching to stop"/ "it would help me a lot, yes… Oh man, now i must nibble on vegetables every day"/ "I can bring you a nice salad every day, or cook something for you. The main thing is that it's healthy and rich in vitamins".

Heath got up from his chair and walked towards the window. He looked out for a few seconds and then turned around. Then he put a hand to his face. It hurt from all the scratching he had done all too often over the last few days. "And you're sure this will help, lady?"/ "Very sure indeed, you'll see, it will get better, and the ointment will help. You should apply it daily"/ "hey, and once your rash is gone, Heath…"

"… Then the women won't run away from you anymore"/ "hnhn, that's right, the other women will have to watch out for a handsome guy like you"/ "Now you're exaggerating. You'd better go and get this ointment to put on my face". she smiled. "it consists of various herbs and other natural substances, flowers, spring water… and importantly, don't forget to always eat your vegetables"/ "yes, yes, now get lost".

Hunter went outside with Gwen. "Then I'll take the fish to the market. And make sure he only eats some once a week. If that really helps and he feels better… I'd like to give you something in return"/ "No, we all help each other here"/ "nothing material… a kiss maybe?"/ "oh, hn, I'd take that“.

"What I haven't told him now is… There's no guarantee of success, but in my experience, that should help"/ "That's fine, I think he knows there's always a certain amount of risk. He just has to persevere and stick to a few rules"/ "hnhn, that's it. I'll bring you the ointment later, I still have a small supply. It helps against a lot of things. In any case, it stops the itching, which is important for him"

"Vegetables... I hate vegetables".... Well, we'll see if sticking to the rules helps at a later date😅
