ASTERON

D aeldan slides back a panel in the wall, and it opens into a passageway. He turns left, and I follow. Almost immediately, he opens another panel, and we step into a brightly lit room which smells of perfume and females.

I lift my head to catch the scent of my mate over all the others. Being away from Ginny has made my hide itch.

"Horns and hooves." Daeldan chuckles. "You have got it bad."

I snort at him. "Fate comes to us once in our lives. I'm not going to throw it away."

"Even if she is a Starlight Bride?"

"Because she is a Starlight Bride. How could I be more lucky?" I slap the old bull between his shoulder blades, and he cough-laughs.

"If you say so, sire. All I know is she came to us wearing what can only be described as a rag, and she leaves here looking like the queen she is."

Ahead of us, a curtain slides back, and Ginny stands there blinking. Her face splits into the most stunning smile I've ever seen when she sees me, and it's all I can look at.

Her smile, like a nova, bright and beautiful, lights up every corner of my life. I can't imagine a time when I didn't see her, a time when she will not be with me, shining her incredible beauty into all the dark corners.

It clears out anything bad in our lives. She is the planet around which my moon spins.

"What do you think?" she asks, twirling in front of me.

I hadn't even noticed what she's wearing, but it is an outfit in the softest pale green Zio silk which flutters around her, draping beautifully over her body, giving me enough of a hint of what is beneath I want to mate her on the spot.

"Close your jaw," Daeldan whispers loudly to me. "And compliment your queen."

I shut it with a snap.

"You look…edible," I say, thinking entirely with my cock. "I mean, beautiful."

Ginny walks towards me, her hips swinging in a way which is making my pants uncomfortably tight again. "I don't mind either."

She wraps her arms around my neck and lifts up on tiptoes to kiss me on my snout before turning to Daeldan.

"Thank you. Kilina and her ladies have been amazing. I feel amazing."

"You do?" I query.

"All females love shopping, ," she says, mischief in her eyes. "Not that it's something I've done in a long time." She sounds a little sad and I can feel the growl in my chest.

"You can shop any time you wish, little queen."

"And are you going to follow me everywhere?" she teases.

"I will follow you to the end of the universe and beyond, my queen. Especially in a dress like this." I lean in, my mouth next to her ear. "Or out of a dress like this."

I'm rewarded by the scent of her particular perfume and the press of her body next to mine.

"You do things to me, . Things I don't understand." Her voice is a hoarse whisper. "Things I adore."

"I want you stalled and mated within the next nova-minute, little one. I want you wrapped around my cock and knot before I explode, again."

Her little body shudders.

"But first, you need to go shopping," I growl.

Her eyes clear as she looks up at me. "Shopping?"

"If you are going to be dressed like a queen, then you need everything else to go with it." I look over at Daeldan. "Don't you agree?"

"I will make the arrangements, your majesty. The whole of Mazos is at your disposal."
