Greatwater Lake Not the Man I Once Was

It warmed every part of her to hear him say that he had been wanting to spend the night with her again. As much as she knew she shouldn't be indulging in this, she just didn't care—not right now anyway. She grinned up at him, meeting his gaze and letting her own tail wave happily behind her. 

When he lowered into a play bow, her tail raised and waved harder. She lowered herself, and nodded. She had been so stressed throughout her whole trip that playing with Donovan sounded like exactly what she wanted to do. She was about to launch herself forward at his face but then he was up and gone, sprinting ahead towards a group of trees. Simmik wasted no time setting off after him, knowing she could easily catch up. 

He lead them into the trees, weaving around the trunks as if that would help him lose her. She only grinned in return, releasing her own playful laugh as she pushed forward. 

She quickly closed the distance between them, coming up on his side and nipping at his shoulder. She dealt more playful bites down to his leg, hoping to trip him. Either way, she beamed up at him and said: You're it, before skidding to a hault and bolting off the way they came. She only ran at full speed long enough to get away before slowing some. She didn't actually want him to not be able to catch her after all.
