CHAPTER 6

His hands were sweating. Asterion sucked in a deep gulp of fresh air, then exhaled slowly to try and calm his beast.

She said yes.

I can’t believe she said yes.

He’d been reading some of Fanny’s books during his infrequent breaks, and the woman had some seriously passionate taste in literature. Stories of Werewolves, Bear Shifters, Dragons, and more lined her shelves, each one a fated mates romance that called to his heart.

He wondered why she was not already mated, being such a romantic as she clearly was. His Bull growled, and he rubbed that spot between his pecs. The animal inside him kicked up a fuss at that thought. As if the Bull did not like the idea of a mated Fanny.

Being close to her the past few days, they’d settled into a nice routine. He worked on repairing the damage he’d done to the store, and she taught her classes. Pottery crafting seemed to be a tremendous hit amongst the citizens here, he mused.

Who knew so many denizens of Purgatory would need a creative outlet?

And the art she created on commission simply dazzled him. Her statues were detailed and refined, and he knew she put a little bit of herself into each one. That was her real Magic. Fanny’s art made a person feel.

Asterion certainly felt something whenever he was around her.

Mostly foolish—snort.

How could a magnificent creature such as him be such an oaf around her?

It never failed, though. Asterion was clumsy, always dropping things—or breaking them—whenever she was afoot.

She’d even started calling him Destructo, which he supposed was a step up from Nellie or Mr. MooMoo Cow. He’d earned the nickname, but dammit, he wanted her to see him as something better than that. So, he worked hard and tried to make her proud. This last thing he had asked, well, it was one hell of an admission for a man to make.

Asterion was a virgin. But instead of shame, all he felt was joy.

How could he feel anything but that when the woman had whispered that small, one-syllable word with absolutely no hint of reservation?

Yes.

She said yes.

He heard her inside, moving about her bedroom. Asterion had insisted on cleaning the kitchen and washing the dishes. She’d cooked, and he believed in a fair division of labor. His Bull grunted, the beast happy to be taking care of her even in this small way.

“Asterion? You can come inside now,” she called loudly from inside her room.

But he did not need her to shout. He heard everything she said, every sound she made just fine.

What the hell was he doing?

True, Asterion was not experienced. He had never consummated any of the very brief relationships—if they could be called that—he’d had during his incarceration, and before that, he’d been too busy trying to control the Bull.

Fact was, Asterion had a massive monster inside of him.

Fuck, would he hurt her?

Never, the Bull snorted. He would cut off his own horns before he harmed a single curly hair on her sweet head. He’d been watching Fanny Meyers covertly from inside his human shell.
