“Incredible! And the credits for the production only lists the two of you also. Was anyone else involved in the making of the track, or was it an intimate experience?”

“I have to say,” Sebastian says, donning a charming chuckle. “The production was all Flora. I honestly can’t take much credit for that, she’s a machine when it comes to tech in a way I will never be. Trust me, I’ve tried!”

Blushing, I turn back to Hedy.

“To answer the rest of your question,” I add. “We worked on it on our own. And we debated on whether or not we even wanted to release it. But in the end, we wanted people to know that Humans and Monsters can get along and create beautiful things together.”

“That they can, it really is a beautiful piece.” Hedy takes back control of the interview. “Can I ask you both a bit about your relationship?”

“That depends on what you want to know,” I gently tease.

“Well, I think we were all surprised about how you two even met! Tell us about how you started dating.”

“We met on the shoot with Noma,” Sebastian takes this one. “I saw Flora and instantly knew that she was mine. She was, is, breathtaking, and I knew that I wanted to be with her. I was very lucky that we are both represented by Fortune Records, and I managed to get her number. It took a lot of convincing, but we spent some time together, deciding to go public quite quickly. But it was actually working on this song that truly showed me her beautiful spirit.

“I wish you could all witness her creative process, it’s truly something to behold. I count myself lucky every day that she stays with me.”

I gulp, Sebastian looking me in the eyes with such an intensity. His eyes seeming to say that he means his words.

“How remarkable,” Hedy says. “Well, we will all count ourselves lucky too, if you two keep making music like this.

“That’s all the time we have today. Thank you for tuning into 98.7.”

I slip off my headphones, trying my best to avoid jumping into Sebastian’s arms.

“That was delicious,” I say, licking my lips and setting my fork down on my plate.

Sebastian knocked it out of the park with dinner tonight. He said he wanted to cook something nice for me to celebrate our success.

“I’m glad you think so,” he moves around to me, pulling my chair back and lifting me out of my seat.

I giggle as he shifts me and I’m draped in his arms, bridal style. My giggles turn into a moan though when he whispers in my ear.

“Are you going to be a good girl for me?”

“Yes, Alpha.” I say slowly and suggestively. He walks us up the stairs and lays me in his nest.

He unzips my dress and slips it down my body so I’m bared before him in my bra and panties. Those are removed pretty quickly, too.

I prop up my head and lazily tease my nipples as he strips off his own clothes. They’re tossed to side in a haphazard pile with my own.

“You’re so fucking beautiful,” he grunts the words, lifting me onto his lap. “Be a good girl and kiss your Alpha like you mean it.”

I groan, immersing my hands in his hair and pulling him down to meet me. I part his lips quickly with my tongue, letting it dart inside his mouth and explore. He takes over the kiss pretty quickly, unable to help himself from claiming me. I rub my pussy against his hard cock, the scales there teasing me into a frenzy.

Sebastian breaks our kiss, leaning back a little to look at me. “Flora?” his eyes search mine, breaking the scene a little.

“Yes, Sebastian?” I use his name to signal that I too am stepping back from our roles. I pause in my movement, giving him my attention.

“What’s up?” I ask, when he remains silent.

“I love you.”

My heart stops, a joy filling my chest. Three simple words and everything changes.

“I’m not sure when it happened, exactly.” He continues. “But I wanted you to know, even if you don’t feel the same way.”

“I love you so much, you idiot.” I chuckle, a few tears escaping my eyes.
