“I am content to stay here with you just as you are, but you are not the same beast you were. I gently ran my hand along the fur of his neck. Perhaps a lord could care for a scholar’s daughter. He hesitated, and I saw it was because of me. You must know something of what she likes,” I whispered. “You’ve spent time with her over the years. For the past fifty years, he’d been trying to sexually please the enchantress for nothing.Ī storm grew behind his eyes, and I quickly scrambled to my knees and gently held his face. His eyes widened, and I knew he’d come to the same conclusion. “So, if I were to ask you for a night of pleasure what would you do?”
With a tender look, he studied me for a moment. “We are not talking about sexual pleasure any longer, are we?” he said. “If I asked you what things please me, what would you say?” “I would rather show you,” he said with a playful growl and a leer. If I asked you in what ways you might pleasure me, what would you say?” I forced a wide grin and ignored the tightening in my chest. He’d suffered his punishment long enough. His caring gaze held mine, and I knew I couldn’t keep the truth of my revelation from him. However, if I kept the information to myself, I would win a few more years of his consideration as a beast. He would likely marry one of his own station.
And what lord wanted a scholar’s daughter, even in her youth? None.
If I shared with him what I’d just realized, he could free himself and become a man and age like any other. My words struck a deep chord, and the solution to his enchantment opened wide in my mind. “I cannot recall when I have ever spent as pleasurable an evening as tonight,” I said, twisting to look up at him.
