chloé .ᐟ

&&.

“not a word.” she warned him , before raising her hand to wave her wand over herself , t-shirt and jeans morphing to a halter neck top and denim skirt with boots.

“that’s better.”

&&.

her expression shifted as she looked at him , usually light rosy cheeks turning a flushed shade of red in mild embarrassment that she’d been caught so disheveled , even for a moment.

&&.

&&.

“oh thank god.” she exclaimed in delight , putting a hand to her chest as she sighed deeply in relief.

she immediately scrambled over to pick it up before turning back to him.

&&.

&&.

the item in question was poking out from underneath a corner of the rug. she surmised it must have fallen out of her jeans as she tried to put them on. thank goodness it hadn’t fallen into the fireplace.

&&.

&&.

looking in the direction indicated , her eyes scanned the area for what he could have been referring to.

“wha-“ she started to say , before her eyes finally fell on the familiar stick of wood she’d been looking for.

&&.

&&.

“i know i had it when we got here so it’s got to be here somewhere.” she stated , looking back at the male just in time for him to nod his head subtly to her right.

&&.

still frantically looking around , the french witch missed the mischievous smile on the males face , her hand running through her wet hair as she tried to recall where she could have possibly dropped it.

&&.

&&.

her heart dropped , and a cold chill raced down her spine as her hand met emptiness.

“wait , where’s my wand?”

“thanks.” chloé replied , tone sarcastic as she feigned a smile.

“no need , i’ll just make a new outfit.” the witch shrugged , trying to slide her feet into her shoes and reach down into her jeans pocket for her wand.

&&.

&&.

pulling them up her legs , she cursed as she saw he’d busted the fastening on her jeans in his haste to remove them. “well , they’re not gonna stay up. great.”

&&.

she commented , gesturing to her wet form and lack of covering.

swiftly pulling on her now thankfully dry bra and top , she retrieved and did the same with her discarded panties and jeans.

&&.

&&.

retrieving her top and bra that were still hung above the mantelpiece , she then noticed her knickers and jeans on the floor , where the wolf had forcibly removed them from her in a moment of passion.

“no towels.”

&&.

&&.

arms wrapped around her chest as she walked towards the mantelpiece.

the fire was no longer burning , making the room much colder. the floor felt like ice under her feet as she walked.

&&.

&&.

entering the room , she immediately spotted cerbeus was already there. but how? she was sure he was still sleeping when she left , and she wasn’t in the shower that long.

“oh shit , sorry.” she said , announcing herself.

&&.

&&.

she brusquely exited the bathroom and headed back to the living room , in search of her clothes as she remembered that’s where they had been discarded the previous night.

&&.

&&.

“of course not. because this house is abandoned chloé. remember? you and cerberus broke in last night so of course there’s no towels.”

this left her stood in the room completely naked , dripping with water.

&&.

&&.

soaking wet , she subconsciously reached for the towel rail , furrowing her brows as she found it empty.

“there’s no towels.” she stated with a sigh as she remembered where she was , arms lifting in a “well duh” gesture.

&&.

after finishing one of the fastest , and coldest , showers she’d ever had , remembering she had no body wash and hair products with her , the witch stepped out of the shower.

&&.

&&.

“merde , that’s cold!”

her breathing came out slow and shuddery as she still attempted to wash herself , hands running over her skin , washing the sweat from her body.

&&.

she then spotted a shower and sighed in relief , while silently praying it had hot water as she turned it on.

stepping under the water , she shrieked as the ice cold liquid hit her skin.

&&.

&&.

after several failed attempts trying the door of each room she came across , she eventually found one belonging to a bathroom.

“finalement!” she exclaimed in triumph , eagerly stepping inside.

&&.

&&.

the french witch bit her lip , acutely aware at this point that she was currently wandering around a strangers house , completely naked.

“just like being back in paris.” she reminisced with a nostalgic smile.

&&.

&&.

“okay , lots of doors. there’s gotta be a bathroom behind at least one of them?” she stated , though it came out as more of question despite the fact she was only one there.

&&.

bare feet tread lightly on a freezing cold stone floor as the blonde slowly walked down the corridor , in her search for a place to shower.

she curled her arms around herself as she felt goosebumps rising on her skin.

&&.

&&.

running her hands through her hair served as a reminder that she desperately wanted to clean herself up after what happened.

“i need a shower. then i’ll deal this.” she decided , walking out to search for a bathroom.

&&.

stood up , she saw the state of the room as well as what remained of her clothes ; torn to shreds and strewn everywhere on the floor.

&&.

&&.

she cursed quietly , given her apparent bedmate was still asleep.

she was somewhat glad as it gave her time to process.

slowly and carefully she attempted to extricate herself from his grasp , sliding out of bed.

&&.

&&.

oh. oh no , don’t go down there brain.

she suddenly looked down at her own body and saw she was just as naked.
yep , definitely wasn’t a dream.

“shit , last night really happened.”

&&.

&&.

taking in his appearance , he looked so peaceful like this , almost angelic. then her eyeline traveled down to the well sculpted hard planes of his chest , suddenly remembering how smooth it felt under her fingers.

&&.

&&.

wait , had he pulled her in against him while they slept?

she felt a flicker of ire start to bubble , ready to shake him awake and yell at him for being so presumptuous in her space , but no sound came out.

&&.
