The force hit him on the chest and sent him flying back against a tree.
“Retrieve!” My laughter mixed with the order, and Natalia winked at me, fully enjoying herself.
“You took your sweet time there, fur boy,” Dante complained, giving me the evil eye which only made me laugh harder.
“I didn’t know the Beast could laugh.” Natalia’s voice was flirty and playful, and its sensual tone made my entire body prickle, even in this form.
She landed right across from where I stood, the glint in her eyes telling me she was looking for trouble while she strutted toward me.
The swing of her hips was making me sweat.
“You know, I was wondering if maybe we could take a small break and then train in something else?” Her hands spread over my furry chest when she stopped before me, leaving barely any space between us. “We can all agree I got a good hold on my fire now, right?”
“You have,” André agreed, reaching us.
“It’s impressive,” Dante grumbled, smoothing his expensive suit.
“And I’m very proud of you for that,” I admitted while her fingers played with my fur, sending trickles of need through my being. “Considering this is your first time truly wielding it, you have exceeded my expectations.”
“So…” she began innocently, looking up at me from under long eyelashes. “Do you think that if I put my fire away, you can let Hannes come out and play again?” Her eyelashes fluttered with the question, and the guys couldn’t help but chuckle. “How about it, Beast?”
All logic left me when she pulled me down by the neck until her mouth was near my beast’s already sensitive ear.
“I really,reallywant to play with him.”
Fuck.
The vibrato of her whisper said that “playing with me” included pleasurable, naughty things, and hell if she wasn’t brilliant.
I still couldn’t stop thinking of the intimate way she touched me during our flight here. The phantom feeling of her hand curling around my shaft, stroking me, caressing me, and squeezing my head haunted me every night.
Thankfully, André and I had been together last night, helping me finally find release, or I would be going crazy right about now. We enjoyed each other for a while before he returned to Natalia’s side.
Feeling absolutely everything but danger capture my body, the Beast let go. My skin became soft as my arms wrapped around her back, and my mouth returned to normal when it reached her neck, stealing a kiss over her bond tattoo.
I was dying to see my moon on her skin.
A shaky breath left her with the feel of my lips in that sensitive spot and her hands roamed my back, enjoying that I was once more a man.
“Welcome back.” Pulling away, Natalia smiled triumphantly.
I mirrored her grin. “What next?”
“As I said. I think we deserve a break.”
“Sure.”
With a wink, she turned around, looking at Dante. “It’s your precious suit, okay?”
André and I chuckled while Dante mumbled something about an Italian designer.
“Can I come out for the break too?”Starlight asked, hopeful.
“No,”Natalia replied without a second thought.
“Bitch, I can take over you, you know?”
“Don’t even think about it!”
