Become a Cheetah
o0o
Monty carried Luo Qiao back to his territory, with two cheetah cubs following behind him. The four cheetahs passed by the homes of rock hyraxes and ground squirrels. The rock hyraxes' first reaction was to immediately hide back in the rock crevices and bushes.
The ground squirrels watched for a while, and when they recognized the cheetah with its tail tied that had bullied them, they immediately took their wives and children and burrowed back into their holes. A bat-eared fox hid in the tall grass, exchanging opinions with a serval cat of the same ear size.
Why would that male leopard be carrying a cheetah, and a male one at that?
"It's not strange. There are many strange things happening this year. Wasn't there a cheetah that liked to run around naked not long ago?"
The serval mother gave the field mouse she had caught to her kitten, watching the bat-eared fox warily. Exchanging gossip was one thing, but she also had to guard against this bat-eared fox, who liked to eat insects, suddenly deciding to snatch her kitten's food.
According to news from the jackal, a cheetah had actually been catching and eating fish a few days ago! And catfish! Therefore, the serval mother believed it was necessary to be vigilant in front of the bat-eared fox!
Speaking of which, the naked one, the fish-eating one, why are they all cheetahs?
The bat-eared fox and the serval cat looked at each other, completely puzzled.
Luo Qiao, who was being held in Monty's arms, didn't know that he had become the protagonist of gossip. He curled up his paws and lay on his back in Monty's arms, as well-behaved as a kitten.
He didn't want to describe himself like this, but in order to make Monty temporarily forget the so-called "benefits," it was better to be a little more obedient. Even if doing this was very embarrassing, at least it was better than being that way, right? He absolutely didn't want to experience such a painful experience again!
Monty ignored Luo Qiao's roundabout thoughts and directly sent him and the two cheetah cubs back to the rocky mountain. The scent of cheetahs was everywhere here, and Luo Sen and Luo Rui could finally relax a little, but Luo Qiao was still nervous.
Monty entered the rocky cave where Luo Qiao and the two cheetah cubs lived for the first time, put Luo Qiao on the pile of dry grass, and licked Luo Qiao's ear.
"I'll be right back."
When the two cheetah cubs saw Monty leave, they immediately pounced on Luo Qiao. The leopard's threat was too strong. As long as Monty wasn't willing, they wouldn't dare approach Luo Qiao at all.
"Dad, I hate him." Luo Rui rubbed his chin against Luo Qiao's while saying, "He always steals Dad!"
"I hate him too! Leopards are natural enemies!" Luo Sen firmly stood on the same side as his brother.
Luo Qiao was very helpless about this. He had never thought of changing the two cheetah cubs' views on leopards. After all, Monty didn't represent all leopards, and it was even more of a fantasy to change Monty.
But the current situation did make his head ache a bit.
Could this be the so-called irreconcilable contradiction between children and stepparents?
Nonsense! Monty is a stepfather, so what is he?!
Luo Qiao's thoughts were performing a high-difficulty acrobatic leap with a backflip followed by a 360-degree turn. When he wanted to land on a normal level, he found that the water in the swimming pool had long been drained... all he could see were tiles!
The wildebeest herd was already far away, and Monty couldn't catch up with them anymore. Besides, there were lions by the river. He had to find another target.
The cheetah's pickiness was a headache for the leopard, who never was picky. If Luo Qiao didn't only eat fresh meat, he could have brought him the two wildebeest he had hidden. But now, he had to go and catch prey again, and it had to be of moderate size and easy to carry, just like the warthog he had caught last time.
"Troublesome..."
Monty climbed up an acacia tree, searching everywhere for signs of antelope, but found nothing. Climbing down the tree, he saw the ground squirrels not far away, secretly emerging from their burrows.
"Do cheetahs eat this kind of thing?"
Leopards have never been picky eaters, and ground squirrels were also a good snack. The key was, did cheetahs eat them?
Monty hid in the tall grass, struggling with this seemingly simple question for a long time. In the end, he decided to go find a hare or a small warthog. At least he had seen Luo Qiao eat these two things before.
The ground squirrels, who were holding up their large tails as parasols, had no idea that they had narrowly escaped a disaster. Just a few minutes ago, a male leopard was hiding in the grass less than twenty meters away from them, planning to catch one of them and give it to the cheetah for dinner.
In the end, neither hares nor warthogs appeared. Monty found a Kirk's dik-dik in a bush. Although this antelope was small, it tasted very good.
Few prey that Monty targeted could escape, and this Kirk's dik-dik was no exception.
Luo Qiao was boredly lying on the hay pile, watching the two cheetah cubs play. Once the eight-month-old cheetah cubs were full, they always liked to chase and play fight.
"Dad, play with us."
Luo Rui raised his two front paws and placed them on Luo Qiao's back, while Luo Sen pounced on Luo Qiao's head, imitating hunting movements. The small wildebeest that Luo Qiao had caught not long ago had given the two cheetah cubs a good training opportunity. Although that small wildebeest was now in their bellies, their enthusiasm for practicing hunting remained high.
When Monty returned, he saw the three cheetahs rolling into a ball again. Although Luo Qiao was still hungry and didn't have much energy, it was still no problem for him to play with the children for a while.
The Kirk's dik-dik thrown in front of Luo Qiao by Monty was still alive, even though it was dying, it was indeed still breathing.
"For me?"
"Nonsense."
Monty flicked his tail and licked the corner of Luo Qiao's mouth. The two cheetah cubs immediately hid behind Luo Qiao's back. "Don't you only eat fresh meat?"
Luo Qiao reached out his paw and nudged the Kirk's dik-dik. Although it couldn't move, the Kirk's dik-dik still made a sound and even struggled to stand up, which surprised Luo Qiao. There were no Kirk's dik-diks near his territory. Where did Monty catch it? More importantly.
"You were actually able to bring him back alive."
"It's not difficult."
Monty wouldn't tell Luo Qiao that walking across the grassland with live prey was not an easy task. But a man should act like a man. However, the benefits he deserved couldn't be missed.
"Eat. Only when you're full will you have the strength..."
Luo Qiao couldn't wait to bite the Kirk's dik-dik's neck, ending its life, so much so that he didn't hear Monty's last sentence at all.
Carelessness comes at a price.
The Kirk's dik-dik wasn't large, but it was enough for Luo Qiao to eat his fill. Luo Sen and Luo Rui's bellies were still bulging, but they still drooled when they smelled the scent. However, this prey was caught by Monty, and they wouldn't easily touch it unless Luo Qiao let them eat.
"Come and eat a little."
Perhaps the two cheetah cubs' gazes were too eager, so Luo Qiao simply called them over to eat together. Monty felt a little unbalanced. He had caught it, so why didn't he ask him to eat together?
"Not enough, besides, you're not short of this little bit of food." Luo Qiao's answer was concise and clear, and he added an extra sentence, "Don't you always eat by yourself?"
Monty looked at Luo Qiao, feeling like he had nowhere to reason.
Is there a conflict between not lacking food and inviting him to eat together? Is there?
Moreover, leopards never voluntarily share prey with other predators unless it's their own offspring. This wasn't the first time he had given Luo Qiao prey. Didn't this cheetah understand yet?!
The more Monty thought about it, the more he felt he was at a disadvantage, and a huge one at that! Even if he quite liked this cheetah after spending time together, it didn't mean he could be perfunctory with himself on certain matters!
Monty's eyes narrowed dangerously, but Luo Qiao was devouring the Kirk's dik-dik. Even though the two cheetah cubs had begun to tremble faintly, Luo Qiao was still gobbling it down.
Who knew when the next meal would be? Being glared at wouldn't make him lose any meat; eating now was the most important thing!
It had to be admitted that Luo Qiao's personality could sometimes really infuriate people. Or should it be said, infuriate leopards?
After Luo Qiao was full, he told the two cheetah cubs to rest in another rock cave, which was also hidden. He changed his form, wrapped the leftover internal organs, bones, and fur in dry grass and threw them away. Then he brought new dry grass and spread it in the rock cave to cover up the scent of the prey.
While he was doing these things, Monty lay sprawled at the entrance of the rock cave watching him. It wasn't until Luo Qiao finished and leaned against the rock wall that Monty stood up, strolled over leisurely.
"Finished?"
"Mmm."
Monty reached out a paw and pressed down on the dry grass. "Looks comfortable."
"Of course."
"Very good."
Very good?
Just as Luo Qiao realized something was wrong, the human-formed Monty had already pinned him down on the dry grass. One hand lifted the back of Luo Qiao's neck, and he fiercely kissed Luo Qiao's lips.
"Mmph..."
Luo Qiao's eyes widened instantly, and he instinctively reached out to push Monty's shoulder, but Monty, who was pressing down on him, didn't budge.
What was even more infuriating was that this beautiful man intensified his actions, using his knee to pry open Luo Qiao's legs, one hand clamped the back of his neck, and the other hand gripped his waist, while their lips remained inseparable.
Luo Qiao began to feel fortunate that he had a large lung capacity.
In the brief pauses between the rubbing of their lips, a silver thread of saliva slid down from the corner of Luo Qiao's mouth. Monty finally released his lips, his scarlet tongue licked the corner of Luo Qiao's mouth, slid down his chin to his neck, and his sharp fangs once again aimed at his throat.
The feeling of being bitten on the neck was not pleasant, but Luo Qiao felt a dangerous pleasure from Monty's action.
Was this the nature of beasts?
Luo Qiao didn't know.
He instinctively tilted his head back and struggled more fiercely. Monty, however, became even more excited by his resistance. Seeing that he was about to transform into a leopard again, Luo Qiao only glanced at him, and any pleasure immediately sprouted wings and flew away. The last painful experience replaced all his reveries. Luo Qiao reached out a hand and pressed his fingernails against Monty's neck.
"Let go of me!"
Monty's movements didn't pause in the slightest. He even pressed his body down further, but he maintained his human form and didn't turn back into a leopard.
"I said, let go of me!"
Luo Qiao's voice trembled slightly. Monty's hand was sliding down his thigh, and there was nowhere to hide.
"No."
Monty raised his head, his light golden eyes looking at Luo Qiao. He grabbed Luo Qiao's hand that was pressed against his neck, bit his fingertip, and his tongue licked the sharp nail. "I want to mate with you."
"I don't agree!"
"I didn't ask for your opinion."
"..."
Luo Qiao choked on his breath, and his head almost started smoking.
Monty didn't care so much. He grabbed one of Luo Qiao's long legs with one hand and slung it over his shoulder, then bit Luo Qiao's neck. Feeling a heat source somewhere, Luo Qiao immediately stiffened and hurriedly grabbed Monty's hair, forcefully pulling him away from his neck.
"Still unwilling?"
"No..."
Luo Qiao wanted to say he really wasn't willing, but it was clear this leopard wouldn't listen to him. Then at least he had to make himself feel a little better. "I have a condition."
"Speak."
"You're not allowed to turn into a leopard again!" Luo Qiao bit Monty's chin fiercely. "When we're doing it, you're absolutely, absolutely not allowed to turn into a leopard again!"
Monty tilted his head. "That's hard to guarantee..."
"If you don't agree, I'll bite you!" Bite you until you can't take care of yourself!
"...Okay." He would try his best.
Having gotten the answer he wanted, Luo Qiao proactively reached out and wrapped his arms around Monty's neck. Since he was destined to be that way, he might as well take the initiative. Anyway, this was a beautiful man who treated him quite well, and he himself liked him, so no matter how he looked at it, he wouldn't be at a disadvantage.
The prerequisite was that there couldn't be any barbed human-beast thing!
Luo Qiao's initiative pleasing of Monty worked. He bit Luo Qiao's neck again. Luo Qiao muttered to himself, why did he always bite his neck?! But he couldn't deny that it did excite him.
The feeling of silky brown-gold long hair sliding across his skin fascinated Luo Qiao, and the pain and heat inside his body almost drove him crazy.
Monty kept his promise to Luo Qiao and never turned into a leopard from beginning to end.
But that didn't mean it was a perfect experience.
His body was almost exhausted, but the beautiful man on top of him showed no signs of stopping. Luo Qiao truly regretted it. This situation was even worse than him changing back and forth...
No one told him that a leopard maintaining human form would have such terrifying stamina...
The two cheetah cubs lay sprawled in another rock cave, waiting for a long time without seeing Luo Qiao come over. They didn't dare go back to find Luo Qiao. Who knew if that scary leopard had left? They looked at each other and decided, well, let's just keep waiting.
