I decided to give the story a proper ending. I hope it doesn't seem too rushed or anything. I also wanna say thank you to everyone who has read, reviewed, faved, or followed this story. I appreciate the love so much. Also, I have a lemony one-shot that is based on this story that I may or may not post. Not too sure yet. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the final chapter of Tame the Beast.


MC awoke the next morning feeling pleasantly sore. A small smile adorned her face as she felt the warm hard body pressed against her back. She tried to get up, but the arm around her waist tightened, effectively immobilizing her. Giving up knowing Zen was too strong to fight against, MC turned around and buried her face in his chest. The rumbling purr she felt against her cheek made her giggle.

The brunette brought her hand to the mark at her neck. It didn't hurt anymore. Touching the mark brought back memories of the night before, and MC blushed. She couldn't believe that she and Zen were now connected in a way that was permanent for him. 'Are we basically married now?!' she thought to herself with alarm. After really thinking about it, however, she found it wasn't such a bad thing. If there was one person she had to spend the rest of her life with, she'd choose Zen in a heartbeat.

"Zen," MC whispered softly as she poked at his chest.

"Mmm," he growled slightly.

The silver haired man rolled their bodies around and MC squeaked. Zen landed on top of her, crushing her smaller frame with his weight.

"H-Hey! You're heavy!" she exclaimed indignantly.

MC poked his ribs, and the undignified snort that came from Zen compelled her to do it again. He shook with laughter before grabbing her arms and pinning them to the bed. He looked down at her with a gentle smile, and MC felt as if her heart was going to burst.

"I love you," she said gently.

Zen replied with a kiss. It was sweet and unhurried, and they just enjoyed basking in the other's presence. Suddenly, a shrill ringtone cut through their peaceful world. MC broke the kiss as she gasped.

"Shit! I think that might be Jaehee," she said in a panicked tone.

Zen let her get up to answer the phone. He watched in amusement as MC tried to find her pants. Once she finally did and fished out the phone, she turned away from Zen and gave him a nice view of her bare ass. He figured she might've forgotten her state of undress in her panic. After a rushed exchange of back and forth, MC hung up the phone and sighed.

"Everything alright?" Zen asked with a bit of concern.

"Yes. Jaehee's a worrywart is all," MC replied with a grin. "What are you looking at?"

The confused expression on MC's face made Zen laugh heartily.

"I'm just enjoying the view is all," he replied after catching his breath.

MC finally realized that she was still quite naked after last night's activities, and flushed a deep shade of red. She knew she had nothing to be embarrassed about; after all, Zen had already seen everything. Grabbing her clothes off of the floor, she tried to walk to the bathroom with some semblance of dignity, but Zen stopped her with a chuckle.

"Nothing to be embarrassed about love," Zen said. "You're beautiful, naked or clothed."

MC smiled at him and ran a finger down his bare chest. He shivered at her feather light touch and she gave him a seductive look. She began to slowly walk backward into the bathroom, Zen following as if in a trance. The door slamming shut in his face brought him back to reality.

"Tease," he growled good naturedly.

Zen could hear her smothering her giggles.


The couple arrived at Jaehee's apartment, and the assistant threw open the door hurriedly. She was relieved to see her friend, but blushed lightly at the sight of the actor. MC left Zen and Jaehee alone as she went to change her clothes. Jaehee regarded Zen carefully; she was a huge fan of his, but MC was one of her closest friends.

"What are your intentions with MC?" Jaehee asked without hesitation.

Zen was thrown off by the question. The chief assistant seemed so mild mannered and reserved. Looking at the woman now, he could see fierce loyalty and protectiveness. The silver haired man could only smile; he was grateful that MC had such a good friend. Jaehee's expression faltered at Zen's smile; though she was asking a serious question, she couldn't help but appreciate the actor's good looks.

"Jaehee, I'm glad MC has a friend like you," Zen said thankfully. "I don't plan on letting her go, just to answer your question."

Jaehee couldn't contain the flush that took over her face. MC emerged from her room with a fresh outfit, smiling happily. Looking between her friend and her lover, the brunette quirked a brow.

"I'm really happy for you," Jaehee said to MC. She then left while trying to get the blush on her face to go away.

MC looked at Zen with an amused expression. He shrugged with a sheepish expression on his face.

"What did you do?" she questioned suspiciously.

"Nothing! I swear!" he replied waving his hands in front of him.

The brunette laughed and grabbed Zen's hand as they left the apartment.


Zen felt as if he were dreaming. His days were spent with the woman he loved. The actor kissed MC every time he got the chance, feeling like she might disappear if he didn't. Sitting in the park, the couple sat together on a bench. MC leaned her head on Zen's shoulder and their fingers intertwined. She sighed with content as she heard another purr rumble in his chest.

"Heh, that's pretty adorable," MC murmured to herself.

She looked up to see a blush on Zen's face. Realizing that he heard her, MC couldn't help but chuckle. The brunette brought their intertwined hands to her face and kissed his hand.

"If this is a dream, I hope I never wake up," Zen said peacefully.

MC smiled serenely.

"Move in with me?"

Brown eyes widened as she looked up. Zen already had his eyes on her, his expression full of love and adoration.

"Yes," she answered happily. "We already promised each other forever right?"

Zen cupped her face with his hands and kissed her deeply. He couldn't believe his luck. He found the woman of his dreams, who helped him tame the demon within him, on a whim to catch a bus. Perhaps public transportation wasn't so bad.
