I loosen my hold on his hand, stretching out my arms. A sensation unlike any other I’ve felt washes over me. It starts in my toes and works its way up my legs and along my spine. I jump to my feet when the feeling grows stronger. My eyes shoot open and I look down. In place of my socked human feet are two large paws. A dark brownish-burnt orange fur covers my legs. I trail my gaze up. There are orange scales on my chest and falling to the side of my body, a tail. It’s not like Sterling’s. It’s thinner, with three points down one side and a tapered end.
“Am I?” I look at Sterling and he nods.
There’s an old mirror resting against the wall. I rush over to it, my words catching when I see myself.
I’m a monster. A beautiful monster with glowing orange eyes and orange scales.
“I’m sorry. It was the only way to save you.”
Sterling comes up behind me. He’s fully clothed, no sign of the Beast of the Sea that I love so much.
“Let me see you, please.”
Wordlessly, he nods and strips out of his clothes right behind me. I watch in the mirror as his body changes, growing and shifting. There are no words to describe how good we look together – two wild creatures built of hard muscles, sharp edges and big hearts. Turning around, I throw my arms around his neck, then press my lips to his.
“I love you.”
He pulls back. “You’re not mad at me?”
“Why would I be? This is what I wanted. Maybe the timeline was a little quicker than I’d planned, but I have no regrets.”
I kiss him hard, sliding my tongue into his mouth, our teeth clashing. He groans and my body heats, a tingling feeling building between my legs.
“Oh.” My cock grows thickly between us, pressing out from my fur. I look down at it, standing proud. It’s bigger than it was before, thicker and longer. I want to touch it, but more than that, I want Sterling to touch it.
“Please, Sir,” I mumble, leaning in to kiss him again.
He smiles into the kiss but doesn’t move his hands from my hips.
“Not now, my mate. Your friend is feeding the goats and will be back soon.”
I moan, taking a big step away from him.
“You could have told me that before you got me all worked up.”
Sterling laughs. “I did no such thing. It is you who first flirted with me and you who came on to me now. It is always you, Caspian. I am merely a fly in your web.”
“Hmm, I think we recall the events of this union differently. But it better always be me and only me, my monster love.”
Sterling grins, and I flop down on the bed, my tail getting trapped awkwardly beneath me.
“Urgh, this is going to take some getting used to.” My cock is still hard, and I circle the base and then stroke my hand in an upward motion, my eyelids fluttering closed.
“Caspian.” My name is the sweetest warning on Sterling’s lips. “Do not test my resolve, my tempting mate. I will knot you right here for your friend to see.”
I drop my hand and fall onto my back on the bed.
“Absolutely not!” I wave a hand at the door. “Go stall him while I get myself under control.”
Sterling stalks to the bed, his big form hovering over me. “You don’t get to come while I’m not here.”
I moan, sticking out my lip in a pout, which he leans down and bites. Then he places a hand over my heart. “I love you, Caspian.”
“Monster and all?”
He grins. “All of you.”
My stomach growls, and Sterling runs his hands down over my scales to my belly.
