Touch him! Touch him!! Touch him!!!
The words kept repeating in her head as she raised her hand carefully, keeping her fear aside she concentrated.
"That's good pretty, you're getting there." Connery encouraged. Valeria felt a drop of sweat run down her left temple, 'this is torture!' She thought and finally she touched it with eyes shut tightly.
Its fur was smooth, very smooth, she ran her hand along its furry arm in wonder. She opened her eyes, forgetting her fears she was filled with wonder at the feel of it. It reminded her of a cute furry white teddy bear. The white beast hummed in satisfaction and nuzzled its face on her other arm making her giggle.
She felt at ease and satisfied by just touching the beast, Valeria thought of it as her pet forgetting he was also a human, until he transformed to her shock.
Her smile faded in realization, she wanted to stand up and move away but he pulled her to his embrace inhaling her sweet scent. Valeria froze.
