CHAPTER 51

In the morning, Andrea found herself waking in her own bed. She could not remember how she had gotten there, she just remembered the pleasure she had felt from the night before.

The servants came in and prepared a bath for her. They helped her bathe and to remove the evidence from the night before.

Her gown today was green with embroidered black cats chasing each other around the hem of her dress.

Today it would be Beast. Would it be as exciting as it was last night? Starchild had told her that each would be different and that she could not compare the four.

Andrea walked down the stairs. This time she walked past the great hall, down the corridor and into the audience room.

There she found Beast sitting in his chair. As Andrea entered the room, Beast stood up.

"Welcome my lady. I am so glad you are here."

Andrea smiled. "What pleasures do you have for me today?"

Beast held out his hand. Andrea took his hand and went with him as he walked to the large door adorned with cats.

Andrea discovered that the room was similar to Starchild’s but also different. The posts of Beast's bed had cats carved in the wood. The headboard showed two panthers lying entwined together.

"May I offer you a saucer of milk?"

Andrea raised her eyebrow, "A saucer of milk?"

With that Beast transformed into a small black cat and jumped into her arms.

"A saucer of milk huh?" Andrea laughed. She picked up the saucer of milk he had poured and held it out to him.

Beast finally jumped from her arms and transformed back into a man. Andrea wagged her finger at him, "Naughty Beast." They both laughed.

Beast transformed again, this time he was the panther and sprang out the window.

Andrea transformed and followed him. They raced over the meadow and down by the stream. It was there that he caught her by surprise and in their animal forms he made love to her.

Andrea lay there exhausted after their mating. Slowly they made there way back to Beast's room at the manor. Once in his room they transformed back.

Beast took Andrea in his arms, "Did I hurt you my lady?"

Andrea shook her head enjoying the warmth of his arms around her. Beast kissed her passionately his lips traced their way down her neck. His hands roamed over her body hungrily.

Her thoughts before falling asleep, so this is the duty of The Lady.

“I did not think you would ever wake up.” Beast said as he trailed a finger up and down her arm.

“If I would have know you were awake I would have opened my eyes sooner.” Andrea teased.

“Awake and wanting you again.” Beast pulled Andrea to him and kissed her hungrily.
