He looked sort of how she felt lately: bewildered. But after a beat, he reached for her with a surprisingly fierce embrace. Masquerade stiffened herself, grimacing when Riley accidentally brushed her sore shoulder. But as his strong forelegs wrapped around her, his scent filling her nose, something in her core melted.

She pressed against him as unfamiliar feelings flooded her. Masquerade whined, overwhelmed. Part of her was uncomfortable with this intimacy and wanted to yank free after a few seconds, put some space between them. Another part of her warmed. She felt cared for, safe, in Riley’s arms.

Thank you. I needed that.
