see the pleased, dazed look in her beautiful green eyes as the moon’s light lit them up and made them appear more catlike than ever.
But seeing her come only made him more heated, more desirous to see her come again. As many times as it took until she was sated.
Mate , came the niggling word back to his mind from the direction of his lion deep within. But he put it aside. There was no chance of it.
True, this was something amazing, something magical. But even fairy tales had endings.
Axel didn’t wait this time, though, instead moving into a heated rhythm that agitated the water around them as he lifted her off his cock, then thrust back in again and again. The faster he went, the more overwhelmed Lucy looked, the more lost in the sea of pleasure she seemed, letting him guide her through it all.
Her hands dug in once more as she bit down on her lower lip, accentuating its shape. Her breasts were tantalizing, dipping in and out of the water as he controlled the motion of their bodies together, watching her react to every thrust, every touch.
Being inside her was like fire, the animal inside him roaring with want. But Axel just continued to thrust, getting harder with each movement and feeling Lucy get closer with each passing second.
Then he felt Lucy’s body go rigid, her breath hitch, as the energy in her passed her limits. Instantly, she came apart in his arms, screaming his name with abandon as he felt his own release surge through him. Immediately, he came out of her just as his member jerked and released into the cool water to the side of them, while both of their bodies released the fathomless pleasure welled inside from so much sensation, so much emotion, so much of everything between them that had been there since the moment he had met her and was now reaching a fever pitch.
For a long moment, they came together beneath the silent moon, its light pouring over them in abundance as they held each other in sweet release. Then, as Axel felt his body relax, the cold water quickly brought him back to earth, back to reality.
For a second, he hesitated, loving the feel of Lucy’s soft, relaxed body next to him. Then once she regained composure, he walked them back to the edge of the shore, putting her down once they were shallow enough for her to stand easily.
“Let’s get you home. Can you walk?” he asked.
“Well enough,” she said, sounding happier than ever but standing shakily in the shallow water at the edge of the lake.
With care, Axel helped her out of the water, where she transformed back into her regal lioness. He followed after, shifting and leading the way as they ran back to the mansion, back to her clothes sitting in a pile behind some bushes where she had left them.
Using his oversized lion as a screen, he stood watch as Lucy turned back and quickly threw on her clothes. Once she was done, Axel looked over and saw the tattered remains of his clothes.
“Looks like someone forgot what shifting does to clothes,” Lucy said with a laugh as she walked over and picked up what looked like half of his shirt.
“Don’t worry. I can make do,” Axel replied, heading up the back steps into the mansion, Lucy following. She opened the door, and he came inside and spotted the thick crimson drapes covering the windows.
He quickly shifted and pulled a large sheet off of the post, trying to avoid making any loud sounds that would wake anyone.
“Hopefully nobody misses this,” he said as he wrapped the long curtains around himself like a toga, while Lucy watched and giggled in response.
“If only your subjects could see you like this,” she said, trying to suppress an all-out laugh.
“Heaven forbid. I’d never hear the end of it from my brothers. Now, if you’ll come with me,” he said, picking Lucy up in his arms and walking up the stairs to her room, “we should probably get to bed before any of the servants actually do see us.”
Not that Axel felt like they had anything to be
