Chapter 80 Touching Matthew’s Ears

Zachary understood. Definitely.

He immediately glanced around, then said with exaggerated thoughtfulness, “Let’s go over there

Finished

He pointed to a shadowy corner–the very same spot where Matthew had been sitting alone earlier, sulking.

Private. Hidden. Perfect.

Zachary wanted to see it so badly he was practically vibrating with impatience.

He scooted closer and gave Matthew’s arm a little shake, coaxing him like he was soothing a child. Even his voice turned soft and sweet. “Please?”

A cold, handsome face paired with a set of fluffy ears–and maybe a swishing tail too? Just imagining that contrast made Zachary itch with anticipation.

“Mm.” Matthew nodded.

The moment he got permission, Zachary shot to his feet and even reached down to pull Matthew up with him.

And somehow, the usually immovable Matthew–steady as a statue–actually let himself be tugged along by Zachary’s hand.

Around them, some people were still chatting, while others had already gone to sleep. No one noticed that the famously aloof Matthew was about to completely shatter his own image.

As they headed into the shadows, Zachary stayed right on Matthew’s heels, step for step. His heart was pounding harder and harder in his chest.

He rubbed his hands together, excited and giddy, a grin tugging uncontrollably at his lips.

Matthew found a place to sit. Then, under Zachary’s fixed stare, two fluffy ears suddenly popped up on top of his head.

It was like watching magic.

Zachary’s eyes lit up. His mouth actually fell open.

The rounded little ears pushed up through Matthew’s thick hair like fresh shoots breaking through the ground, tipped with soft, slightly pointed curves.

Zachary was one second away from dying of how cute it was.

Matthew’s expression stayed as calm as ever, but somehow that only worsened it–made him even more irresistible.

That deadpan face paired with those adorable ears had Zachary’s heart itching all over again.

“Can I touch them?” he asked, even as his hands were already twitching to reach out.

Chapter 80 Touching Matthew’s Ears

“Mm.” Matthew lowered his head a little for him.

Finished

Zachary didn’t waste a second. He went in with both hands, cupping one ear in each palm and stroking them gently.

The fur was short, dense, and silky–soft beneath his fingers.

Zachary was utterly enchanted.

Matthew still looked composed on the surface, but his long fingers had quietly curled into the hem of his/ shirt.

Zachary got bolder and gave the ears a careful squeeze. Oh my God. That texture. It felt like kneading two perfect puffs of cotton.

Matthew’s expression barely changed. He sat there stiff and proper, which only made Zachary–who was clearly having the time of his life–look even more shameless by comparison.

It was like some cool, respectable beauty had been dragged into fan service against his will, and Zachary’s increasingly handsy behavior only made the contrast worse.

A few glances drifted their way.

Zachary, convinced no one could see them in the dark, got even bolder.

Matthew, however, knew very well how sharp a black panther therian’s vision was in low light. The others could absolutely see.

But Zachary was so happy, so absorbed in petting him, that Matthew couldn’t bear to interrupt.

And besides… it did feel good.

Still bent over him, Zachary suddenly remembered something. He blinked. “Matthew, does that mean you technically have four ears right now?”

The atmosphere had been perfect, and Zachary somehow managed to yank it into biology, but he really was curious.

Matthew answered with complete seriousness. “The ears and tail are mutation states that appear in human form. They only function properly when I return to my beast form.”

In simpler terms, the two forms were overlapping, like a glitch.

“Oh.” Zachary nodded, only half understanding, and promptly started pushing his luck. “Matthew, can your ears move?”

He was thinking of that therian named Hubert–he could’ve sworn he’d seen his ears twitch before–but Zachary didn’t dare say that out loud. He’d only just coaxed Matthew into a better mood, and he didn’t want to risk annoying him again.

Matthew didn’t answer.

He simply let Zachary stare at the top of his head.

Chapter 80 Touching Matthew’s Ears

Finished.

Then, the next second, one of the ears resting in Zachary’s palm gave a tiny, delicate twitch. The soft fur brushed against his skin, light and ticklish.

Zachary’s heart practically melted.

How is this even legal? How could he be this cute?

Even Matthew’s cool, severe face now seemed softened through a filter in Zachary’s eyes.

Ears were an extremely sensitive spot for therians.

Matthew’s throat bobbed. The long, defined fingers hanging at his side slowly tightened.

Inside him, something dark and hot kept flaring to life, and it took everything he had to force it back down.

Even so, he still let Zachary keep “manhandling” him.

After a while, when the warmth finally left his ears, Matthew looked down at Zachary and asked, his voice slightly hoarse, “Done?”

Still reluctant to stop, Zachary nodded.

He couldn’t let himself get too excited.

So, he dropped into a crouch in front of Matthew, tilting his face up with a distinctly mischievous blink as he shifted targets. “Matthew… can I see your tail too?”

He was incredibly polite.

Zachary figured this was a once–in–a–lifetime chance. He’d already gotten to touch the ears–might as well be brave one more time.

A dark glint flickered through Matthew’s eyes.

Then he slowly reached behind himself and tugged the back of his pants down a little, exposing the line of his tailbone.

At the smooth base of his spine, a long black tail appeared.

Zachary nearly cried out in delight. He slapped a hand over his mouth just in time, bouncing on the spot in excitement.

Back in the modern world, he had been a full–blown fluff addict. He’d pet every stray cat downstairs into submission, and none of his friends‘ cats or dogs had ever escaped his hands either.

Matthew’s tail flicked once, slow and lazy.

Looking at Zachary, who had gone completely blank with shock and delight, he said evenly, “Aren’t you going to touch it?”
