“You’re frustrated,” she said. “Tell me what’s wrong.”
“I just want to see her. Spend time with her. I don’t need anything else.”
“We aren’t trying to make you anything you aren’t, Lars. We’re just trying to make you shine as you are.” She gave me a sad grin. “Change of plans. As long as you let the wardrobe department fit you for an outfit, you’re in control the rest of the day.”
“Thank you.”
“It’ll take me a while to adjust to you, too. I’m used to our male contestants being familiar with our world. And you’ll have to forgive me for making assumptions about what you want. Just know we’ll be here with you every step of the way, to answer any questions you have and get you anything you want. Even if it’s not what we expect. This gets to be your fairy tale as much as Hannah’s.”
With that, she left me with the wardrobe department. They measured every part of my body, and we finally agreed on a pair of jeans, a black T-shirt, and a pair of black boots.
I didn’t quite feel like myself as I walked down the brightly lit hallway, taking in the stares of each person who passed me by. It had to be my imagination. They worked with shifters all the time. I shouldn’t be any different.
But I was.
I’d hardly ever come into Sunset Springs before I metThe Mating Gamecrew. I could count my interactions with modern humans on one hand. I’d rejected Bibi’s help because she was right. I hardly identified with the man who had stared back at me in the mirror with the smoothed-out hair, trimmed beard, and the expensive clothes that hugged my body.
Like this, I was so far away from my instincts I had no idea what Hannah wanted. All I knew was I wanted her.
Thank the moon I could still sense her heartbeat. It was a steady thump that grew more frenzied with each step I came closer to her. Finally, she came into view. That purple hair was wild this morning, suspended in midair. Kohl ringed her eyes, her cheeks were flushed pink, and her lips had a gloss to them, like she’d just taken me into her mouth and…
My human cock twitched, a feeling that startled me. I’d never been with a woman in this form before.
I was definitely ready to give that a try.
“Sweet moon, you are smokin’ hot.” Those shiny lips of hers stayed open as she circled me. “Don’t get me wrong, the sweatpants were a total vibe, but those jeans are just dripping with sin, and we definitely need to send the wardrobe department a thank you card.”
“You look amazing too,” I said. She was wearing a black dress with thin straps. The thin, flowered fabric revealed the swell of her breasts. “Those strings on your legs…”
“They’re called fishnet stockings.” Her finger slipped under the bottom of the dress to reveal a little more thigh. Maybe only an inch.
Hot damn, this woman had no idea how she made me salivate. I was worried that in my human form my feelings for her would be lessened. But they were more intense. I could hardly breathe, thinking about touching her all over for the very first time like this.
“I like them, a lot. And your shoes. They make you taller.”
Hannah came closer, those shiny lips curled into a smile that made me want to rip the thin fabric away from her body. She grasped my shoulders so she could whisper in my ear. “Wait ‘til you see what they look like straight up in the air.”
“Something tells me I’d be eating you for breakfast.”
Her blue eyes widened. “I see you’re still a naughty beast.”
“I like that you still think of me as a beast.”
She slid her hands down my chest. “Just because you’re human and we’ve dressed you up doesn’t make you any less Lars.”
My eyes closed for a long blink. “You have no idea how much I needed to hear that.”
“And you have no idea how much I want to take you up on your offer. But those blueberry pancakes are to die for, and it would be a shame to miss out. So maybe you can have me for dessert?”
“Definitely dessert.”
The flush intensified on her cheeks and went all the way down to her chest, disappearing in the riot of tattoos as she pulled me toward the table. Pancakes were just the beginning. There was whipped cream, syrup, butter, an array of meats, and several different drink options.
Bibi, Marissa, and Tina had retreated behind the bank of monitors, content to let the interaction play out.
Hannah surveyed the table before assembling her plate. She took a little of everything. “This is such a treat. Not how I usually eat breakfast.”
“Why not?” I asked as I took two pancakes. I’d never had them before, but they smelled almost as good as my mate. I followed what she’d done, pouring the syrup over them, and a dollop of cream. I filled the rest of my plate with meats. I’d been craving them ever since my shift.
