The World of Beasts: She's Got Their Hearts

Finlay couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed by Analise's enthusiasm. He was honestly a little worried that she might decide to form a contract with him tonight.

Once she had tugged him into the room, Analise quickly found a hairdryer and began drying his hair. Well, drying his hair was just an excuse-what she really wanted was to take the opportunity to touch his therian ears.

The moment Analise's warm fingertips pinched his ear, Finlay shuddered involuntarily, a pleasant warmth coursing through his body.

"Ana, maybe I should dry my hair myself... You can just focus on touching my ears?" Finlay's tail swayed slightly, brushing against Analise's leg.

Even though there was fabric between them, the sensation was like being tickled by a feather duster-light and teasing.

Analise instinctively reached out to grab Finlay's tail, intending to move it aside, but the moment she did, she heard a soft, breathy gasp escape his lips.

That sound froze her. "Your tail..."

Her fingers still wrapped around his tail, she suddenly found herself in a dilemma should she continue or let go?

No wonder when she had asked if she could touch his tail earlier, Finlay had blushed so hard that it looked like his face was about to burst. His voice had been barely more than a whisper.

Had she just accidentally asked him in public if she could touch his sensitive part?

"Ana... Didn't you want to touch my tail?" Finlay turned to look at her, his eyes slightly red at the corners, his ears completely flushed.

To Analise, he looked just like a pitiful little wolf pup, holding back his emotions. She swallowed unconsciously, and she lightly stroked the fur of his tail.

"Mmm..." Almost as if he had received some kind of signal, Finlay instinctively wrapped his tail around Analise's wrist. The soft fur coiled around her skin, tightening ever so slightly.

"Finlay, if you hold my wrist like this, how am I supposed to dry your hair?" Analise looked down at the tail around her arm, then chuckled.

Finlay remained fixated on her, but after a brief pause, he reluctantly loosened his grip. However, instead of moving away, he nuzzled his head against Analise's waist in a subtle, almost pleading gesture.

His tail still flicked against her leg every now and then. As Analise continued drying his hair, she absentmindedly rubbed his therian ears, clearly enjoying herself.

At this moment, in her eyes, Finlay was just like an obedient little puppy. Even though she had stopped touching his tail, he still looked. content-maybe because she already understood what his tail meant. sŵnovelnoveldrama

And the fact that she hadn't reacted negatively earlier gave him hope. If he played

his cards right, maybe he could become her first mate.

Still, Finlay couldn't deny a lingering sense of insecurity. Being a female's

guardian did give him an advantage over other males, but in the end, females were naturally drawn to strength.

Finlay was well aware that he wasn't as powerful as Scott, so his only option was to seek advice from his friends and rely on a few tricks.

"What are you thinking about?" Analise set down the hairdryer and gently ran her fingers through his now-dry hair.

Finlay instinctively leaned into her touch, rubbing his head lightly against her palm.

"Ana, you never told me if you've reached adulthood yet." Analise blinked in surprise before answering, "I'm 25 years old."

Originally, she had planned to finish her work, take a break, and celebrate her birthday with friends. That was why she had booked that flight. She never expected to end up in this parallel dimension instead.

"Really? Ana, you're already an adult!" Finlay's smile deepened, his tail gently brushing against her wrist and palm.

"Have you ever thought about finding a mate?" He looked up at her, those pale gray eyes filled with hopeful anticipation.

"Does being an adult automatically mean I need to find a mate?" Analise raised a brow, her wrist still trapped in the light ticklish strokes of his tail. On instinct, she grabbed it again.
