I moved in closer to him.
He backed further into the corner.
I found it strange that such a huge powerful beast could be backed into a corner like someone so small and relatively weak as me.
“You don’t have to be afraid,” I said.
But afraid wasn’t the right word.
I didn’t think a creature such as him was even capable of being afraid — what could he ever possibly be scared of?
But he was clearly concerned about something.
Maybe it had been a long time since he’d been intimate — just as it had been for me?
But I had since long ago learned that taking action was the best solution to most problems.
Just begin something and the problem often resolved itself.
“I shouldn’t be doing this…” he said softly.
“Of course you should,” I said. “It’s the most natural thing in the world.”
I took his head in my hand and pulled him down toward me.
I went up onto my tiptoes and brought his lips on mine.
Then I reached down and released the knot in the blanket I had tied earlier, and let it fall to the floor.
I stood before him, completely naked and vulnerable.
Now, his eyes moved over my face, then down my neck, to my breasts, my waist, and sex.
He took me in entirely, just as I hoped I would soon take him entirely within me.

FEON
The moment I had sent the message to Aslas, I had turned and headed back to the suite.
My time with Beth was running short, as Aslas would soon arrive within a few hours.
And for some reason, I felt the drive to return to her as quickly as possible.
It was not that I thought she would get up to any mischief but simply because I enjoyed being in her presence.
The moment I left the room to send my message, I felt like a part of me had been removed, like the sun had set and darkness had swept in.
It wasn’t depression or dismay but a kind of coldness I couldn’t completely account for.
I knew what it felt like to be in the presence of someone I enjoyed being with.
I enjoyed hanging out with Aslas — I always had done since a very young age as he had been my very first and best real friend — and I drew great warmth from that relationship too.
But this was different.
It was not just a warmth upon setting eyes on her — although that was certainly part of it — but the knowledge that no matter what, she would always be there, would always support me, always push me to try harder, to be better.
