The Sentinels And you want me to go without

Osprey responded to her mate's tender touches with a soft purr of satisfaction. Though way past her youth and having a bit of experience with being liked and desired, it did not deter her from feeling like young girl, all giddy and blushing. She reached to have a nip at the left ear that was closest to her, but Dante suddenly freed himself from the embrace and danced few steps away. 

She  looked at him with a puzzled expression, but when the realization of what was going own dawned upon her, she smiled. Usually Osprey was the one to initiate a game, therefore Dante's choice to do so this time was a welcome change. So without hesitation she bowed playfully first and then took off abruptly, stopping briefly to look over her shoulder, as if asking, if he was coming or not, then continued her flight. The bad leg slowed her down a little.
