“We never have to go back,” her father reassured her, smoothing her hair down with his hand. The fact was they couldn’t go back, but it felt better knowing they wouldn’t choose to, even if they could. The only thing Callista regretted was not having Beauty with her, but someone would look after the horse. She was too good of a steed to waste.
They hugged for another long moment, then Callista pulled away.
“Good night,” she said with a wan smile.
“Good night.” Her father’s worry was written all over his face, which was what gave her the bravery to turn and walk through the doors to Adonis’ wing on her own. She didn’t want him to see her second-guessing herself now that he’d accepted her decision.
Walking away from everyone else felt a little scary, but she knew Adonis wouldn’t hurt her. She believed that — from the very bottom of her heart.
Making her way back to his room, she was surprised and a little embarrassed to see someone had been by to change out the sheets while they were gone. Whoever it was would knowexactlywhat had happened. It also made her a little agitated because, stiff and sullied as they’d been, those sheets had also been her nest.
The urge to make the bed into her own rose up inside her, and Callista found herself arranging pillows and bedding to make a cozy little place where she could curl up and wait for Adonis. By the time she was done, she was exhausted. Nestling down into the center, she fell asleep long before the Beast returned.

Adonis
The castle wasquiet as the dark sky began to lighten. Adonis paced outside the walls far earlier than usual, long before the sun rose. The urge to be inside, to be near his Omega, rode the Beast hard once its hunger was sated, and once again, Adonis was in complete agreement with the instincts he so often had to fight against.
He wanted to be as close to her as he could, though he didn’t expect to see her again until later in the day. When he returned to his room, weary from the long night of running as well as the frenzy the Beast had been in after not being able to reach his Omega, he was astonished to find said Omega asleep in his bed. He hadn’t expected her to be there. Hadn’t even dared to hope she might be. At best, he’d thought she’d be in her father’s rooms, close but not within touching distance.
Yet there she was as the dawn lit the sky, comfortably curled up in a little nest she’d made for herself.
Naked.
Adonis stared for a long moment, drinking in the sight of her. He couldn’t remember ever being greeted by anyone but the guards upon his return, and they stayed up on the wall, carefully keeping back in case he wasn’t fully himself yet. But his Omega had no such fear. She had come to his bed, not only waiting for him but asleep and trusting he wouldn’t harm her.
The emotion that welled up inside him was nameless and overwhelming. He didn’t know how to categorize it. So, he didn’t.
Instead, he followed the impulse to be beside her.
Carefully adjusting the bedding, Adonis slid in next to her, doing his best not to disturb her as he moved. Despite his best efforts, she roused, mumbling in her sleep as she rolled over, giving him space beside her. The brush of her silky skin against his made his cock stand at attention, and he bit his lip against a groan as his arousal flared.
He wanted to say he hadn’t meant to wake her, but he knew that wasn’t true. The moment he’d walked in and realized she was there, that she was in his bed, this had been inevitable.
It didn’t matter that her heat was over or how many times he’d climaxed in the past few days, a few hours away from her, and his body was ready to go again. The curve of her buttocks against his groin, rubbing against his erection, pulled a sound from him that was half-groan, half-growl. She was irresistible.
Pressing a kiss to the nape of her neck, he slid his hand up her side to her breast and felt her little gasp as he closed his fingers around the soft flesh. Her nipple perked between his fingers, the tiny bud hardening at his touch. Rocking his hips forward, he slid his cock between her cheeks while hetoyed with it. He could feel the smooth skin of her bottom rubbing against his cock, stimulating him without giving him any real relief, but the tease was almost as enjoyable as actually sliding inside her.
He could scent her arousal filling the air as he touched her, growing stronger with every caress. Sliding his other hand beneath her, he toyed with her other breast as he moved to lift her leg, giving him space to adjust his cock and rub the tip along her wet slit. She moaned as he rubbed the thick head over her clit. He pinched her nipple at the same time, teasing and toying with her body. He wanted her to desire him as much as he did her.
Hot slick gushed over his cock as he rocked his hips forward, pushing his cock inside her. The silken heat enveloped him – hot, wet, and heavenly.
“Adonis!”
Her body clenched around him as he filled her, shuddering from the pleasure. A purring growl rumbled through his chest as he thrust again, going deeper, feeling the stretch as more hot liquid coated his cock. They were probably going to need new sheets again soon.
His teeth ached to bite down on the tender flesh of her neck. As she writhed, he couldn’t stop himself from doing so, though he didn’t break the skin. He just held her in place that way, enjoying her helpless whimpers as he slowly fucked her from behind, gripping her with hands and teeth while his cock moved in and out of her hot pussy.
Part of him wondered if the instincts of the Beast were still driving him. He’d never thought of biting another woman this way, but it didn’t matter. He pinched her nipples with his hand, moving back and forth between them while he fucked her, his urge to pin her down and do what he wanted with her growing harder to ignore.
Her hands clutched his arms, trying to hold on as her pleasure grew. Adonis shifted, turning her more onto her stomach than her side, giving him greater access to her body. Braced on her forearms and knees, her bottom high in the air, she dropped her head, moaning as he kept moving, riding her from behind.
Looking down, he could see the thick stalk of his cock glistening from her slick, splitting open her swollen pussy lips. He watched it move within her, sliding in over and over again, the crinkled rose of her anus right above. The urge to fill that tight hole rose, as it had several times over the past few days.
Releasing one hip, he dipped his fingers along her slick, lubricating them before pushing them into the little hole. It gripped him tightly as she moaned, both holes clenching down around him. He could imagine how it would feel around his cock. The very perversity of the act only made the idea more appealing.
“Adonis…” She moaned his name again, thrusting her hips back at him as if trying to impale herself farther. He felt his knot beginning to bulge.
