Nuzzling him, she sighed. His scent settled her thoughts as she spoke quietly, looking back into the blue eyes. "I don't know why you want me, but if you truly do, I'm yours." Her tail lightly hit the ground as she licked his neck, trying to reassure him that she didn't want him to leave. "What you said..do you mean it?" She looked at him with a hopeful look, her lips turned up in a smile.
