Despite his sarcastic protest, he indulged her and it was only a moment before Bones was lulled into a satisfied stupor. Her eyelids drifted shut, though she cracked one open to say, "Get used to it, blaggard. You're mine now." Her eyes closed again and she smiled to show she didn't mean that, at least not in a bad way. And his touches felt so good...

Bones didn't realize it when she fell asleep. She was aware one moment, then blissfully drifting the next. She drowsed for several hours, held there in Ira's arms, feeling totally at peace. She slept so deeply that she dreamed and her paws twitched. She even whimpered softly in her sleep and curled closer to Ira, clinging to him.

When she exploded awake to the dimming light of evening, Bones hurled a curse into the air. "Ira, why'd you let me fall asleep, ye lily-livered lout!" she cried, jumping to her feet. Despite the real agitation behind her words, she nuzzled him. "Now I won't have time to visit me dad." She paused and looked into her young beau's eyes. "Oh, well," she sighed, lips twitching into a smile.

"It's too long a trip to go all the way but... walk me partway home?" she requested in the next breath, nipping at Ira's flank and then beginning to walk, hoping he'd fall into step beside her.
