The room was dim, softly lit by a lamp, casting a faint glow over the large bed.
There, lying face down on the bed, was Varek in his bear form, breathing heavily, his breath rough and strained.
"Fuu… fuu…!"
Rafayel quietly approached him from behind and gently hugged him. "Varek… I'm sorry you're suffering. I'm ready, so please… take me."
The moment he spoke, Varek suddenly pounced on him, pinning him down. "Hah… hah… I'm sorry… Raffy…" Varek groaned as he pressed against him.
Rafayel responded with a kiss and surrendered his body completely to him.
As in previous years, they spent the next three days secluded in Varek's room, devoted entirely to mating.
Unlike the past years, however, this time was different.
Whether it was because of the core embedded in Rafayel's body or because Varek remained in his beast form, Rafayel could feel every intense stimulation as Varek's thick member rubbed against his inner walls.
