The World of Beasts: She's Got Their Hearts novel Chapter 29

Males were raised from childhood to care for their mates thoroughly. In Therians, the beast came first, meaning their instincts ruled above all.

So, when it came to matters like this, they didn't react with the kind of embarrassment that humans did.

"Okay," Analise said with a light laugh, letting go of Finlay's tail and giving him a gentle pat. "Let me go. I'll get you something to drink."

Finlay obediently released her, watching as she left with the cup. Then, without hesitation, he followed after her.

"Alright. Just wait for me at the top of the stairs."

With Finlay following close behind, Analise couldn't risk pulling out the Purification Potion. She needed him to stay put.

"I don't want to."

"Come on. You can still see me from here." Analise stood on her tiptoes and gave him a quick kiss on the corner of his lips. "Just wait here."

That soft, warm touch made Finlay freeze in place. By the time he snapped out of it, Analise had already turned and gone downstairs.

Once out of sight, she stopped at the landing, poured the Purification Potion into the water cup using the angle of the staircase to shield her, and then walked to the water dispenser bot.

"Ms. Chamber, how may I assist you?" the robot asked politely.

"I need some warm water," Analise replied.

"Understood." The robot took the cup and then asked again, "Would you like me to replace the remaining water?"

"No, just add the warm water, please."

"Okay."

Once the warm water was added, the robot handed the cup back to her.

Analise hurried back upstairs and handed the cup to Finlay. "Here. Drink this."

Finlay took the cup and chugged it in one go.

"Ana, can I sleep with you tonight?" he asked softly, his eyes red with tears.
