Did she know how she affected him? Her petite body sat up on his lap, her pale green eyes innocent as she tipped her head. He suffered her kisses gladly, his fingers playing with the blonde ringlets of her hair, claws running gently through the fur at the nape of her neck. “Yeah,” he agreed when she mentioned them getting to know each other again. They used to be closer than anything, and it worried him now that they only had short moments like these to steal away with each other and relax.
Even then, it wasn’t really relaxing. Relaxing would be walking hand-in-hand through a meadow of flowers, or lolling by a stream, swapping jokes on horseback, counting the stars before they slept. The tension between them now had been obvious to the male for a while now, at least on his end, and he sighed as her face buried in his neck. As always, he played a role of wary patience. She’d always been more a child than he, not really aware of what she was doing when she touched or cuddled him, even when it meant nothing but that he had feelings for her that a friend shouldn’t. He didn’t want to frighten her, or get them both locked into something they weren’t ready for. Otherwise, he would have named her his mate ages ago and whisked her off to a house somewhere.
Her strong, small body squirmed as she whimpered, and she began to list off all the critters they might need for the pack. The mongrel only grinned, watching her. He agreed, and he knew that the work would benefit Casa for generations if they had the right amount and quality of stock, but for now…
“Sweetheart,” Wayne said, his voice soft thunder. He straightened slightly and pushed some of her hair out of her face, his smile crooked and amused and full of love. “Stop talkin’,” he urged, and kissed her throat.
