Blacktail Deer Plateau something happens when i hold him

God, how he'd missed her. Travelling with Engel had been a constant drain on his patience, and his two rowdiest kids on top of that? It hadn't been a great trip, and the fun had worn out as soon as Easy started complaining that first day. He loved those two, but perhaps they'd been a little young to truly appreciate travel. He'd just have to let Catori take them out the next time.

But neither of them would be leaving this clearing until they'd had their fill of each other. Cat had him around the neck like a limpet, and Grayday leaned down into her embrace with audible relish. Cuddling with Engel and the kids at night had been a somewhat uncomfortable experience, especially with the kids' tendacy to kick around and stick their cold noses in his fur. He'd been craving Catori's touch almost as soon as he departed from her.

The male covered her body with his own, pinning her on her back and running his nose down her jawline, briefly closing her fluffy neck between his jaws. She smelled like love and family and cool, coastal woods, and he couldn't get enough of it. "I'm just going to eat you. You're too beautiful to keep alive," he huffed.
