Redhawk Caldera sugartree

As she began to play with his ear, Reyes hummed a note of pleasure. He pulled her closer and began to groom at the fur of her throat with tender affection. It was a display he kept reserved for Teya. Reyes hadn't always been an affectionate creature and he much preferred the privacy they shared within their hollow anyway; no prying eyes, no judgements or miscommunications. This wasn't for Brecheliant - this was for her, for them.

Whether he was aware of the shifting of her body or not, Reyes wouldn't let up. He wanted so much from her, and he knew she was willing to give him everything. The man trusted her more than anyone he'd ever met; Teya had given him no reasons to doubt her love, or their connection.

I need you, he all but purred against her greedily, his tone low and full of desire. Be mine -- always, as my wife, as my everything. She was already those things but he'd never said it aloud before.
