Chapter 80 - Reunited Looks Different

Prisana yawned, eagerly awaiting her beast's arrival. She grinned to herself while she stood beside Cleo outside of the airport, wondering what Dane's reaction would be. He would perhaps be so overjoyed that the first thing he would do could be whisking her into his arms into an embrace.

She had told Cleo she wanted to surprise Dane and so she went along with Cleo in the early hours of the morning to wait for Dane's arrival. Her heart couldn't stop pounding in giddy excitement.

Just as she saw his beastly form emerge from the double glass sliding doors, she decided to greet him most unexpectedly. She quickly hid behind Cleo like a lynx trying not to get caught.

Cleo had to hold back his laughter and clear his throat. "Sir. You're back. How was it?"

"It was—"

She chose that moment to jump out from behind Cleo's large coat that blocked his view of her.

"Surprise!"

Dane tried blinking her away, then rubbed the sleep away from his eyes. "Prisana?...What are you doing here?"

Her face faltered, "Boring. Not even the slightest reaction out of you!"

He began to slowly chuckle as his features softened, "I was still waking up. You...surprised me."

"It didn't look like I did...Woah!"

Her beast briskly walked to her in few strides and carried her bridal style into his arms like so many times before. Unfortunately, she was becoming so used to it that she didn't mind. Still, those around them walking past in the airport still made her remember the embarrassment of being doted upon so openly without a shred of remorse.

"Dane," she whispered into his ears. "People are looking at us."

"So? Let them look."

He briefly turned to Cleo who had been busying himself bringing Dane's belongings into the car, "Give me the keys. Here, take a taxi back home."

"Sir...?!"

"Please, it's urgent."

Cleo reluctantly gave him the keys and in turn, was given dollar bills of some amount Prisana couldn't fully count. What she was sure of, was that it was more than enough for a simple taxi fare. The two lovebirds left Cleo there standing dumbfounded as Dane continued carrying her and settled her into the passenger's seat. He even reached over to seatbelt her in.

"Why are we just leaving Cleo? That's a bit rude, isn't it?" her eyes widened as Dane climbed into the driver's seat and stepped onto the gas to drive forward. "Uh, what do you think you're up to beast?"

"Hotel."

H-Hotel?!

She peered at him sideways. "I-I thought you were still waking up..."

He returned her worried look with a smug one. "The sight of you woke me up. Prisana, I'm starved. I've been abstaining for a week. I don't think I can wait any longer. I did tell you to be prepared, didn't I?"

Even though her body craved him, she wasn't sure she was prepared for the beast's insatiable hunger.

"Sir. Here's the room key. Please enjoy your stay at XXX hotel and thank...you."

The woman behind the front desk didn't get to fully finish her sentence as Dane brushed past by with Prisana, hand in hand. He fumbled for the floor button of their room. The moment the elevators doors opened, she nervously looked his way as they strode inside.

It happened like wildfire. Dane kissed her right then and there just as the doors to the elevators closed. Her eyes widened for a moment but closed as his lips invoked a familiar sensation that drove her wild with passion. She could never refuse his sweet invasion as she fully let him in and even draped both arms around his neck to pull him closer to her.

By now, they were glued to each other against the elevator walls, bodies molding to each other perfectly as lips found each other over and over again. He kept kissing her senseless as she kept trying to recieve them and catch up to his hungry feverish kisses.

Ding!

The elevator doors opened to another floor and someone gawked at them, quickly pressing the button to close the elevators on their lover's scene. Both beast and lynx looked at each other in unison and slowly burst out in laughter.

However, they didn't stop.

Laughter twisted to passion yet again as he showered her in endless serenade of yearning. Dane went further to hike her body up against him so her legs were wrapped around his waist. Only this way, he could quickly carry her faster to their destination as their floor was only one stop away.

They continued licking and kissing each other in a never ending foreplay that would only end when they were both bruised beyond help. When the elevator doors opened, he carried her into the hallway while keeping her busy with his tongue teasing her senstive mouth sighing and aching every second.

It was the same scene like the first time they held each other. Except, different place and beautiful truths that connected them together.

He expertly slid the card reader in front of the door. The sound of the door clicking shut mixed with the loud thud of their bodies tumbling and tripping into the doorway entrance of the hotel room so that they were on the ground sprawled all over each other.

His hands crawled underneath her back until her waist crushed up against his in a lover's long awaited embrace.

"...Hah...I missed you," he whispered into her lips for a moment of breath, then leaned in to bury his face into her neck to regain his breathing completely. "So damn much."

"I missed you too," she kissed the side of his face.

At last, both beast and lynx had finally found each other.

It was strange though. Something was different. Her heart couldn't stop beating. Every place he touch burned this indescribable heat that never happened before. It was like she could feel so many emotions spilling into her all at once.

"H-How was work?" she asked, trying to calm the nerves of her rapid beating heart.

"Work? That's the last thing on my mind. Because right now Prisana, you're the only thing on my mind."

He leaned over her to casually brush her hair out her face as he leaned in some more. She twitched from his simple touch.

"I don't know why but this moment we've come to so many times, feels different...looks different."

It wasn't just Prisana's imagination after all. She nodded to agree and released a sigh as Dane lightly tapped his forehad against hers. They held the other's depths with great intensity.

"Why is it that I can feel every touch and every sensation?..." she twitched again when he outlined the strokes of her lips while soon kissing them right after as she moaned vigrously. "Why is it that you're more sensitive than usual when I touch you?"

"Maybe it's because of what we did last night," she admitted because truthfully Prisana was still ashamed to truly look at him without remembering every vivid detail.

He chuckled. "I wasn't the embarrassed one."

"Why is it that am I the only one this nervous?"

Dane shook his head and grabbed her hand. He leveled her hand to his heart. "You're not the only one. See here? My heart is beating like crazy. I'm being driven crazy by a single touch. God, it's like my heart might fall down to the ground."

Suddenly, as Prisana kept on hearing that beat of her heart take over her eardrums, she finally understood why tonight looked different.
