Cerberus reveled in the way Ciara looked at him, all dazzled and turned on. This was the kind of attention he craved – he loved it when canines gawked at him. It was pompous of him, yes, but he couldn’t help it. He felt it just as much instinct to enjoy this as it was to hunt. But either way, he had Ciara in his arms now, and that made him infinitely more happy than her being enamored with him.
Almost immediately after he’d addressed it, Ciara’s eyes swiveled up to meet his and he had to set her down just so he didn’t drop her. His arms didn’t leave her waist however, and he smiled warmly as he stared into those earth-toned orbs. Though Ciara was a yearling, she held the beauty that only a mature woman could possess. Ceri’s tail wagged at the thought of being by her side always and forever, but he knew well enough that as soon as this girl approached her first heat, the competition for her hand would begin. Being somewhat spoiled as a boy, Cerberus preferred things to just be handed to him. But being alone in the wilderness provided as good of lessons as any in how to fight for what you want. With a tightening of his arms around Ciara’s waist, Cerberus resolved that he would fight for this girl if it came down to it. He had never felt so happy around any other woman before, so he figured that it had to be a sign.
Ciara offered a quick lick to the corner of his mouth and Cerberus chuckled. Pushing his snout into the she-wolf’s hair, Cerberus engraved her scent onto his brain and then let his nose trail down her neck and across her collar bone. He paused just beneath her chin, listening to the soft thump-thump of her pulse before returning to hold her gaze once more. Finally, in almost a whisper, Cerberus said, ”Lesson number three: taking compliments from a man. Ciara, you are the most divine creature I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting.”
