Hoshor Plains A hunting we will go

He watched her demeanor change and cringed. He hadn't meant to hurt her, he didn't want that at all. He really found her to be absolutely incredible in every way. As she tried to hide it from him he moved forward again, sitting up slightly and placing his head across the back of her neck.As she tried to act tough and told her age he sighed.  "Don't. Don't do that. Don't try to hide from me. You are beautiful in every way and my pain has nothing to do with you at all. My ex wife...and my first deceased wife. They all ended up leaving me in some way. I.. brought them both suffering." His voice shook slightly as he told his secret. 

He licked at the back of her neck soothingly "Onyx, I tensed to run because I fear if I fall for you I'll only bring you Suffering as well. If...if we stay together, I will fall for you." His voice turned into a whisper as he reluctantly pulled away from her. He looked into her eyes and offered her a small but genuine smile "You're funny,Sweet, cute...and you're beautiful." He began and then began to chuckle "You're also my age, probably a few months younger" he said with a grin. "Who's old now?" He asked playfully hoping that after everything he'd said she would feel better.
