Panther Park I can't escape you

So that was it; he wanted her in all ways except sexually. And when she mentioned children, his demeanor shifted exponentially. The idea of children made his ears lift and a smile lighten up his features. And then he said the one thing that would seal the deal—Of course I would. Her frown softened and she gave him an affectionate look. Then she finally closed whatever distance was between them, placing her head under his chin and nuzzling into his fur. She stiffened a little, though, when he mentioned that she could get her needs met elsewhere. She pulled her head back to look at him, her expression serious. I do not just have sex with men I do not know, she told him, unsure why she needed to even state that. She thought it would be obvious. Nor would I feel comfortable being with someone else. Sex is not that important to me. The only time I have ever been with anyone in that way was to have children. Stigmata and I were close, but it was not like that. She would not be so generous though, but she wondered if she would have to worry about that with him. She studied his face a moment before asking what had been on her mind from the start. But, I saw the way you looked at Zephyr, she said, her expression hardening. That was desire, even though you just told me you did not feel that. So I am confused. Now she looked at him expectantly, feeling she was owed an explanation for whatever was going on between them.
