The Sunspire all wrong

She pressed herself against him as though afraid to let go of him; like he would disappear before her eyes if she released him.  Summer was not complaining for he felt just the same way.  He was done with the days he'd spent waiting for her, hoping and praying that she would come back to him.  He didn't want to wait anymore.  He wanted to know without a doubt that she would always come back - that it was to him she belonged, and she'd never leave him again.


Ty began to stammer at him and he pressed his ears forward to search the tone upon her tongue.  She pulled away after a moment and he immediately searched her face to see the pain and conflict there.  He had never liked seeing her like this.  For a brief moment, Summer felt certain that she was slipping back into her darkness.  Desperation plunged into his heart - he wouldn't let her go there.  She couldn't leave him again.

She loved him.

Summer's brows raised in surprise when she uttered the words.  He definitely had not been expecting it at all, but now that it had happened... He saw nothing inappropriate with the timing.  Nothing awkward or strange or the least bit disconcerting about the sudden, random confession.  It was perfectly quirky and passionate, just like she was.  Summer's expression softened as he closed the distance she'd placed between them, and a low growl rumbled in his chest as he kissed her muzzle softly, his muzzle running in a line to place a kiss then upon the bridge of her nose, then to her each cheek, and finally to her forehead before he swept her back into his embrace and whispered...

"I love you too."
