The flabbergasted look on his mate's face was worth it.

Unable to resist the urge to feel her skin, he ran his knuckles down one blushing cheek, saying,I told you...didn't I? The beast in me...craves...constantly.

"For me?"

Yes.

He watched her gnaw at her lip and fought hard against the urge to gnaw it for her, knowing that to do so to lead to things best left delayed...for now.

"If that's true," she was saying shakily, "then why haven't you still..."

Fuck...you?

Estrella let out a little moan of embarrassment, but the sound quickly turned into a whimper when she felt his fingers reach for her underwater.

It's because...this is...still...too small.

One finger slowly pushed inside of her as he spoke, and Estrella gasped anew as all thoughts in her mind dissipated.

But...don't worry. I'm...working...on it.

A second finger pushed in, and she quickly became a wet, trembling mess. "Lysander—-" His fingers pushed deeper, filling and stretching her, until all she could do was close her eyes and gasp.Oh...oh...oh.Her head fell back.Practice makes perfect, right? So...well...who was she to say no to this—-

A sexy, gruff sound played in her mind.

The Prince of Beasts...was laughing. At her.

Oh, frack!

Why did she keep forgetting he could hear her thoughts?
