Sunbeam Lair Skylines

He was too distracted by her soft cheek and the giggle that came from her as he continued his affection to pick up on the joking tone of her words. Instead, he took them at face value. Thank you, he whispered, grateful that she hadn't tried to fight him on his request. He was so used to his daughter pushing against every boundary he set that he had automatically expected some push back from her too. Thankfully, there was none. 

He nodded solemnly at her next words. He too hoped that no one else met the same fate as the murdered woman. He closed his eyes and leaned into her affection, taking the comfort she offered. When she spoke again his eyes slowly opened, and a playful smirk curved one side of his lips. Had he really not given her his name? And now that she brought it up, he realized he also didn't know her name. Things had just felt so comfortable between them, names hadn't even come up. Handsome, huh? His expression remained teasing but his gaze heated. Kavik, he offered along with a soft graze of his nose along her jaw. What about you? What do I call you? he asked after a few moments. That was the real transgression here—that he had stolen this moment and her affections without learning her name first.
