The World of Beasts: She's Got Their Hearts

A bead of sweat slid down Finlay's forehead. He sniffed Analise's distinctive scent and nibbled her shoulder. He didn't bite down hard. It was just a light nibble.

The pain coursing through his body was too great to bear. This was the only way he could think of to distract himself.

"It itches." His furry hair brushed against Analise's neck. What was more, he was gently kissing her shoulder. The combined sensations sent an itchiness down her neck and heart.

She groaned sensually.

Finlay didn't stop because of that, though. Instead, he seized the moment and sat on the chair in the fore cabin. Then, he held her in his arms and made her sit on

his lap.

The pain was eating away at his good sense. A second ago, he was kissing Analise's shoulder. Then, he moved his lips to her neck on the next. Eventually, he found her lips.

The kiss was as passionate as it was aggressive. Bit by bit, Finlay sucked the air in her. He wasn't content to let her go until her body went limp, and she leaned on his chest.

"Ana." His shirt was completely drenched in sweat, and his hair fringe was a little wet as well. "Do you want to take a bath with me?"

Finlay sweated a lot after he ingested Body Strengthening Pill. Having been made to sit on his lap, Analise was filthy as well. Her clothes were stained with his sweat long ago.

Actually, it wasn't his fault at all. She went through a similar situation when she first took the pill. She sweated so much that she actually wrung a lot of it out of her shirt when she went to the restroom.

That said, it was a good thing that Finlay always valued hygiene. So, the stench wasn't too bad.

"Who's going to keep an eye on the starship if we both go to the bathroom?" Analise raised her head and touched Finlay's Adam's apple. She had taken three Body Strengthening Pills. That ought to be enough.

As a matter of fact, Scott and Finlay had been secretly competing with each other after they formed a contract with her, trying to sleep with her on the same night.

The thing was, it should've followed the sequence when they formed the contract. As Analise's first mate, Finlay had the right to do it with her before anyone else.

However, she was worried about her body. So, she merely held him and went to steep. She didn't let him do anything with her. If it had been other females, they would've slept the hell out of the males before the contract was even formed noveldrama

Analise must've been the only female who allowed no further than kisses and hugs after forming the contract. Scott and Finlay had to have felt sorry for themselves.

"The starship's autopilot system has an absolute accuracy during daytime. So, we don't have to worry about it. We just have to keep an eye after nightfall." Finlay shook his head.

This time, he didn't even ask. Swooping Analise up, he carried her to the bathroom in the private cabin.

That said, Finlay didn't do anything out of the line. He thoughtfully filled the bathtub with hot water and went outside to get Analise some fresh clothes.

"If you don't want me to look, I'll take a bath with my back turned to you." His cheeks were red as he turned around, turned on the shower, and scrubbed his body meticulously.

Analise raised an eyebrow. Taking her clothes off, she slipped into the bathtub. Steam swirled around as she took in his toned abs and gulped instinctively.

After a fierce internal conflict, she

rose from the bathtub, approached

Finlay, and embraced him from behind. The soft sensation from her

breasts made him stiffen instantly, and a jolt of heat rushed to his manhood.

"Ana?" Finlay turned off the shower and turned around slowly. "Can we?"

He brushed the strands of his hair, still dripping with water, away from his forehead.

"We can, but we should blow-dry our hair first." Analise grabbed a towel and lobbed it at him before drying him gently.

"No." Finlay yanked the towel away and tossed it to the rack next to him. Then, he leaned close and sealed her rosy lips in a kiss.

"Nuh-uh. We can wait a few minutes. My hair is wet, too. Aren't you worried that I might catch a cold?" Analise pushed him away gently.

Finlay felt a twinge of reluctance, but she made a fine point. So, he fought the itching lust coursing through his body and started to blow dry her hair.

Only after their hair was both dry did he scoop her up in his arms and gently place her on the bed.
