Her eyes glistened like dark emeralds and he could see himself reflected in their depth. He became especially aware of her facial features being this close to her. Her ruffled fur was both soft and wet causing it to mat in clumps around her ears and cheeks. He could see the tear tracks, small paths wandering from the black corners of her eyes. He felt the sudden urge to lick these wet trails but there was still some sense left in him that held him from doing so.
Zalen could nearly hear Lucia’s heartbeat, or maybe it was his own that he felt throbbing at an expedited pace. Now that he was so close to her he wasn’t sure what he should do next. Perhaps he should prepare himself for imminent flight. But instead of her turning to run something else much more wonderful happened.
When she put her hand on the back of his neck and asked him why he was looking at her in the way he was he was at a loss for words. He could not answer her for even he did not know what caused him to gaze at her in such a fashion.
Then without warning her soft muzzle ran across his and he was done for. His mind exploded with both fear and excitement as she gave him the gentlest kiss. For a moment he just stood there completely overwhelmed by the electrical sensation running through his veins. But then, in a nearly subconscious manner, Zalen reached a paw to the small of her back and another to the back of her neck and proceeded to bury his face into the warm fur at the nape of her neck.
Lucia smelled of the forest mixed with cigarette smoke, alcohol and rain and Zalen’s head swam. His moist tongue darted forward and he tasted her. She tasted as intoxicating as she smelt. For several moments he stood there nuzzled her neck and chin before he regained himself. He brought his forehead to hers again and looked into her eyes longingly, “I’d like to see you again.” He realized that she eventually would have to leave him and his heart ached. He had to see her again, he must! She was like a drug to him now.
