Larksong Grotto Forever is a Long Time

The silvery female seemed happy to see him, but that the same time she looked a little nervous. He cast a worried look at her, but it all became clear with her next words. Much as he tried, Charley couldn't keep the charming grin from spreading across his maw. She corrected herself, made it clear this was going to be a good talk, but the Pryor man could feel her next words before she said it. 
               "You know, you're cute when your flustered."
He reached down to give a lick to her cheek, but did not pull back his head. Instead, he nibbled gently at her ear and whispered sweetly into it.
                                 "How would you like to be Aspen Pryor?"
It was his own way of asking her to be his mate, his wife. To spend the rest of her life side by side. He pulled back only enough to meet eye to blue eye with her, softly smiling, silently promising everything he could ever possibly get in life to her.
