Amber woke up floating in a lake. She was having a reoccurring dream about swimming since she fell asleep on a waterbed next to her older sister. She opened her eyes when she noticed she was wet and a little cold.
She looked around and started to freak out because she was in a lake surrounded by a forest instead of her warm waterbed. She called out to her sister, "Jasmine!" She didn't hear any response other than a few birds in the trees. She thought to herself, did Jasmine bring me here? Is she playing a prank on me?
She started to swim towards the shore as she called out, "Good prank, where are you?" Again, no response. She started to think this wasn't a prank. She thought, am I dreaming? This seems too realistic to be a dream.
Her Mickey Mouse oversized shirt and blue plaid shorts were wet from the lake. She was starting to shiver from the cold. She looked around and froze when she noticed a pair of glowing amber-brown eyes watching her. There was a cheetah who had been drinking water from the lake.
She started to back away slowly not wanting to spook the big cat. The cheetah walked towards her, and she yelled, "Stay back!" The cheetah got closer to her and right as she was about to turn and run the cheetah transformed into the most beautiful man she had ever seen!
He was taller than her by almost a foot, which was tall! Amber was already 5'10 and was always the tallest girl in her class by at least a head! She could easily see over the other girls in class.
The cheetah man had sandy blonde hair with tan skin. He looked deeply into Amber's large round green eyes with amazement! She was so beautiful!
He was already a two-striped beast man and had been to other big cities and villages this was the most beautiful female he had ever seen! Amber was getting nervous with this beautiful beast man so close to her. Not to mention he was naked!
He still had a tail and round furry ears that reminded her that he was not human! She backed away with her arms crossed over her chest. He noticed her shivering and thought she was cold. He got closer and hugged her.
She asked nervously, "What are you doing?" She tried to push him away. Amber was a shy girl who never had a boyfriend before! Not to mention a naked man hugging her.
He replied, "I will warm you with my body heat. Don't worry beautiful female. I will take care of you. I found you, so you are my female now."
Amber's eyes widened! What was he talking about? She asked a little forcefully, "What do you mean by YOUR female?" I was just swimming in a dream and now I have a hot cheetah beast man trying to make me HIS female!
He replied, "I don't see any beast marks on you. Do you have another mate? What tribe are you from? Why are you out here all alone?"
Amber didn't know what he meant by mate or tribe. She decided not to say she was human in case he decided to eat her. She blushed when he called her a beautiful female.
She was pretty with her curly blonde hair and big green eyes, but she had never felt beautiful. Her older sister took after her mom, and she thought her mom was the most beautiful woman in the world! She took after her dad's side of the family.
She told the cheetah beast man, "I don't have any mates. I don't know how I got here. I was sleeping next to my sister and woke up in the lake." Nick got excited when she told him she didn't have any mates. He explained, "The law of the beast world is that any female found in the wild will become mates with the beast man who finds her. You are now my female. I will take care of you."
She just stayed quiet. She thought, 'It might be good to have someone to protect me against other threats. I don't know where I am and if this is a dream or not. I'll just keep him nearby just in case. Maybe he can help me find my way home.'
She asked him, "Where is the closest city?" He responded, "We are about an hour away from the Cheetah Village. That is my tribe. I am the strongest cheetah in the village." He wanted to impress her so she would not want to take any lesser mates.
He told her, "I will take you to my cave so you can change out of these wet clothes. You will get sick if you stay wet and cold. Just hug me tight to stay warm." Then he transformed back into a cheetah and lowered his body so she could climb on his back. Amber looked confused until he scooted closer to her and nudged her.
She had ridden horses before and watched her brother ride their dog when he was little. She had never heard of someone riding a cheetah! She hesitantly climbed on the back of the cheetah and didn't know where to hold on.
He started going and she leaned closer to him to stay on his back. She was cold, so she hugged him close to her chest. He was happy that she was hugging him so tightly. His beautiful female was soft! He couldn't wait to mate with her! With those thoughts, he rushed to his home.
Cheetahs are the fastest land mammals and Nick was the fastest in his village. He got home in under 30 minutes with his new female. Amber's clothes had dried some from the wind. It was not too cold outside, around 75 degrees.
When they got to the Cheetah village, Amber looked around and saw a mix of cheetahs and cheetah beast men walking around wearing loincloths. She didn't see any females at first. Nick roared at the beast men, and they backed away.
He was the strongest in the village and no one wanted to fight him, but they were interested in this new female who Nick was carrying with him.
She smelled nice and her fine blonde curly hair was beautiful. When she lifted her head, they saw her big round green eyes and they were all amazed! Cheetahs all had similar brown eyes with some more amber or hazel, but they didn't have any females with green eyes.
They wondered what tribe she was from. One of the braver 1-striped males came up to Nick and asked him, "Where did you find that female? What tribe is she from?" Nick growled at him and transformed. He loudly proclaimed, "She is MY female! I found her by the lake all alone. She is now MINE and no one can take her from me!"
They heard his underlying threat. If they wanted to mate with her, they would have to beat him. Since he was the strongest in the village no one here could defeat him. They were sad they would not have a chance with this beautiful female.
Maybe they could woo her when Nick was not around. He would have to leave her alone to hunt. They would try to bring her gifts later. Their hope was renewed with this shared plan. Nick warned them with another growl and transformed again.
He carried Amber to his den. She noticed the musty smell and the sparsely furnished cave. He brought her to a fur rug and placed her on it. He transformed and told her, "I will make you some new clothes while those dry."
He reached out to remove her clothes from her, but she backed away from him and hugged her chest. She asked shyly, "What are you doing? Can you put some clothes on?"
He looked at her confused and explained, "We are the only two here and you are my mate now. Why would I cover myself?" She opened her eyes wide and thought 'Is this pervert going to R*PE me?'
She told him, "Just cover up please!" He didn't see why she was uncomfortable, but he used a fur cloth to cover himself. He didn't want to make his female mad after she asked him nicely.
The females he had met before were not nice to males. They were bossy and expected males to take care of them. He hated their bossy attitudes and that was why he was still single even though he was the strongest beast man of his tribe.
There were a few females who wanted him because of his status, but he was glad that he found a nice female. He would never want any other mate! After he put his clothes on, he went toward Amber to measure her.
She asked nervously, "What are you doing?" He responded, "I need to measure you for your new clothes." Amber replied, "I'm fine. My clothes are almost dry. I can just use a blanket to stay warm."
She picked up the fur rug and wrapped it around herself like a towel. Nick looked slightly sad that he couldn't get closer to his female. He understood that she was shy. He would help her warm up to him in time!
