Star shivered, moaning and basking in his afterglow, but Anubis was not done with him and turned him over on his back, licking up his cum and continuing to bathe him with his tongue all over, from head to toe. Star didn’t know how long the man played with his body, bringing him to the edge repeatedly, as if punishing him for cumming when he wasn't supposed to. By the time Anubis entered Star, he came in an instant. However, Anubis did not let up and fucked him all over the couch and in positions Star did not know his body could go into, but he enjoyed every minute. By the time they were done, Star had come so many times he’d lost count.

Star moaned,rolling over and burying his face in the soft fur-like blanket. He purred and hugged the comforter close to him. Just as he was about to get comfortable and fall back asleep, Star froze, realizing something was seriously wrong. He knew Anubis was wealthy, and although they had a staff that came in and cleaned the penthouse, he was certain none of the blankets they had were made of fur or were alive enough to lick him.
Slowly, Star opened his eyes, connecting with a spotted golden coat and a light amber-brown gaze. In shock, Star sat up, wondering why a lynx was in his bed and where it had come from. Star and the lynx stared at each other, and he had the strangest notion that it was a shifter in his bed with him, but he knew Anubis wouldn't allow anyone else in there, so that only meant it was a real lynx.
“What the fuck is happening?”
Another thing that made Star stop was when he realized he wasn't afraid of the animal. He didn’t know if he was now completely unfazed by the world around him. Star reached out to touch the lynx, but his hand froze in midair, and the animal sat up, rubbing its head on Star's palm, purring.
What a friendly lynx. Shouldn't they be aggressive?
Star didn’t know much about animals, and even though he was a shifter, he was lax in his research on the differences between a shifter and regular animal behavior. The lynx moved closer to Star, licking his hand. Star couldn't take it anymore; the animal was too cute to resist. An idea came to Star, and he shifted into his cat form and playfully attacked the lynx, who seemed to know what Star was thinking. The two played for gods knew how long, running around the bed and raising a ruckus, not noticing they'd broken something in the bedroom. Star never knew he could have so much fun in his cat form. The two were playing and wrestling so happily that neither noticed when Anubis and a beautiful woman entered the room until they were pulled apart.
Star was lifted higher, and he met Anubis's smiling face. “Having fun?”
“Yes,” he meowed angrily, not caring if Anubis could understand him or not. “I want to go back to play with my lynx friend.”
“You can play with Cairo some more later. For now, get cleaned up and get dressed. We have guests.” Anubis brought him close, nuzzling his fur and pulling a purr from him.
“What a cute kitten.” Star looked toward the voice, seeing the most beautiful woman with a faux mohawk reaching out to touch Star; however, Anubis stopped her.
“Mama, stop being silly. You know this is Star.”
Mama?Star thought, looking between Anubis and the beautiful woman.
“Can I hold him?” she asked, doing the grabby hands that were a bit scary but were instantly eased when the sweetest scent of lilies reached his nose, and it made him feel like he was supposed to remember something but couldn't.
“No,” Anubis said, shielding Star from her.
“But he's so cute,” she whined. “You're so mean.” She stomped her feet, and Star chuckled at seeing a grown woman act like a baby.
“I'll let you hold him on one condition,” Anubis said, and that brightened her face.
“Really? What?”
“Tell me what you and the other two mothers did a few months back? And is it why you're hiding from Father?”
“For almighty Ra's sake,” she snapped.
“Stop calling on grandfather's name, or he'll show up.”
“Why don't you want your grandfather to show up, Son?”
Star yawned, listening to the two. Suddenly, he was tired, and with the way Anubis rubbed behind his ear, he couldn't help but snuggle deep in his arms and fall asleep.

“You did that on purpose,didn't you?” Isis asked, pointing to Star in his arms.
Anubis smiled. He knew how much Star liked being rubbed behind his ear when he was in cat form, and it always put him to sleep. “How did you and the other two know he would be my forever one?” Anubis had thought long and hard about who could have played matchmaker between him and Star. He'd long since crossed his father off the list and knew Thor and Sobek wouldn't interfere with his love life. That only left Neith, Isis, and Bastet. Anubis figured out that the three gave Star his ability to shift and somehow the enchantment to stop time. He had a strange feeling that Star might still have a dormant power waiting in the shadows to manifest.
“I have no idea what you're talking about,” Isis said, looking quite guilty.
Anubis sighed, walked closer to Isis, and kissed her. “What if he wasn't my true mate, and I fell in love with him, and then my mate came along? How do you think that would have turned out? I should be angry, but I forgive you three. I don't know what reason you did it, and honestly, at this moment, I don't care. He's brought much joy into my life, even if he hadn’t turned out to be my forever one. I wouldn't leave him. Although he doesn't realize it, he is strong and greedy enough to walk by my side. Well done, Mama. But this will be the last time you interfere.”
“Fuck,” Isis gasped, clutching her chest. “Why are you acting so scary right now?” She shook her head and walked to the door, turning to face him. “Are you truly happy?”
