Chapter 128 - Fur Colors
Lucas said he would be right back.
In reality, it took him over an hour to return, but it was very much worth it because right behind him was Jason and Jared.
"So our little Tiny Dancer wants to be a Tiny Dancer Bat, huh?" Jason laughed as he strode towards her and picked her up, swinging her around.
Jared had already begun to pull out his measuring tools, muttering to himself.
"Bat wings on her body will have to be this size. Do we want large hooked thumb nails?"
"That would make her look wicked awesome." Jason rubbed his hands together. "Hmmm. We could adorn it with jewels or something."
"We could also paint her wing nails a pretty color to go with the jewelry you\'ll be making for her. Do we want to make her a dark olive brown bat like us or do we want a lighter shade of blonde?" Jared asked.
"Well, we\'re all varying shades of brown when we\'re in beast mode, so she should be the lightest of the brown shades to match with us." Jason murmured, gazing at her.
"Yeah. If you look at Slate, who\'s the darkest bat, all the way to Leo and Lucas who are the lightest of the bats, if we make her any lighter than them, she\'s going to be almost white…" Jared mumbled and turned to Lucas.
"Hey Bro. Change so I can see the actual color of your hide and your wings."
Lucas grinned.
"My pleasure."
He began unbuttoning his shirt sleeves and chest buttons and in seconds had stripped down to his waist.
Candi\'s eyes widened. The man truly had impeccable pecs and perfect abs! Holy moley!!!
Lucas flexed his muscles.
FWOOOMPH!!!
His wings sprang out from his back as his fangs began to grow.
His fur and wings were a tan color, several shades darker than the natural pale blond hair on his head that had been tinted a pinkish gold color.
"Do you want me in full beast mode or is this good enough?" Lucas mouthed around his fangs.
"This is fine. I just wanted to see the exact color you change into." Jared scratched his head as he looked at the fur that was on Lucas\' shoulders and back.
"Hmm. How come it\'s not a pinkish gold like your hair?"
Jason popped him on the head with a gentle fist.
"Because, you doofus. The pink is a dye job."
Lucas grinned. "I could dye my fur and wings a bit pinkish if you need it to be."
"That\'s not a bad idea." Jared scratched his cheek. "Do it."
Lucas shrugged and began focusing energy on his fingertips. He reached back and began rubbing his wings and shoulders.
Where he touched the fur began to turn pink.
"STOP! STOP!" Jason yelled. "You\'re making a big pink striped mess of your body because you can\'t reach certain areas."
He reached out with a practiced hand.
"Let us do it for you."
In no time at all, under Jason\'s ministration, Lucas\' wings and bat fur began matching his pinkish blond hair.
"Wow!" Candi breathed with a huge grin. "You look like a delicious rose gold lollipop!"
Lucas laughed, blushing at her words.
So many women had said far more lewd things to him but it never made him feel the way she made him feel because it was all fake.
They were merely reacting to his external physical image. She was the only real thing in his make-believe world. Everyone else and everything else, except his family, was fake.
Okay, since Lucas\' hair is one shade lighter than Candace\'s hair, should we make her bat outfit a darker shade than his?" Jared asked.
"No no. He\'s a man. He needs to be darker than her, no matter what his hair color is. Even if we have to make her pure white, she has to be lighter than him." Jason responded.
"I don\'t think we need to go that far. A pale blonde is good enough since Lucas\' wings and body are darker than his hair."
Jason turned towards Byron.
"I can\'t remember, Byron. What\'s your natural hair and fur color?"
Byron stared at him with a disgusted look.
"This is my natural hair color. I\'m a redhead."
"What shade is your fur again?" Jared asked.
"What, you guys don\'t know each others\' fur colors?" Candi laughed.
Byron turned to Candi with a grimace.
"We\'re guys. We don\'t notice that kind of stuff."
"What DO you notice?"
"Well, you know." He waved his hands helplessly. "We notice each other\'s physiques and…such…"
"Oh like how large each guy is?"
The men burst out laughing.
"What???" Candi threw up her hands.
"Never mind Tiny Dancer." Jared turned back to Byron.
"Can you change real quickly so I can see your exact shade of fur and wing color?"
Byron threw off his shirt and transformed in the same manner as Lucas. His wings and fur were a deep coppery red-brown several shades darker than his hair.
"Wow!" She muttered, looking at Byron standing next to Lucas. These were absolutely drool-worthy men.
Something in her eyes must have shown her delight and admiration because they smiled with pride.
Instead of being turned off or disgusted by their fur and leather wings, she was actually physically attracted to their beast mode bodies!
It took another hour before the twins were satisfied with their designs and they left, promising to return within twenty-four hours with mock ups of their designs so that Candi could get a real bat-looking outfit for her Illusions Event.
"Okay, Sweet Love," Lucas pinched her nose with light fingers. "Let\'s go grab lunch while we discuss what we\'re going to do." He turned to Byron. "Want to join us for lunch?"
Byron shook his head. "Father wants to discuss with me various things so I need to get back to the Royal Palace and have lunch with him."
He turned to Candi with a smile.
"You take good care of this woman for me while I\'m not here."
"Always, Brother." Lucas responded. He knew Byron loved her. If anything sealed that knowledge, it was the very public display of affection and the marriage proposal that Byron had given to Candace in front of all the brothers.
Byron reached out and kissed her forehead.
"Have fun with Lucas. I\'ll be back later this evening to join you all for dinner."
Candi nodded.
For now at least, things were quiet and they could enjoy these simple peaceful times together.
She had a feeling things were going to be much less simple and much less peaceful in the very near future…
