As he met her eyes, his chest filled with some kind of fire. Her cheek was so warm, so right against his. Nuzzling her had been the best idea he'd ever had, and he made mental note to do it more often. Why, she had responded to him when she could quite obviously get any male, was a mystery but he remained grateful. Esubi was beautiful, amazing in every way.

When they both pulled back, they continued to gaze at each other, and he couldn't help but notice she looked a little...anxious. His heart began racing in his chest, as he begged his mind not to say something completely and utterly stupid. "Esubi...I think...I think I love you." So much for not saying anything stupid. Still, his admission made him nervous. What if she didn't feel that way at all, and he had just ruined everything? What if she got mad? What if she left, for good? All these questions raced around his head, stressing him out as he awaited her reply. Hopefully, she'd feel the same way. She had to.

Sitting back on his haunches, he resigned his self to taking in every small detail. She was just so...perfect. Beautiful, inside and out, and suddenly it hit him. He really did love Esubi. ANd ven if she didn't feel the same way, he'd follow her forever, just to keep her safe. That was the least she deserved.
