I am engulfed by the smile that seems so natural on her pretty features. She's really enjoying herself and I am too. I can't help but think that I should have done this sooner, the whole date thing. I never got to do it with Kiska. I meant to a couple of times but it was always something. I was trying to keep up with Paracon and then my children and training Amir...I just never thought I had the time. I guess this is one of the benefits of not having my own pack anymore. I can do whatever I damn well please, and that includes taking my imprint on a date. I hope she likes it. I hope she knows this is for her and her alone. I want her to know how special she is to me. As she takes a bite, I watch her from the top of my eyes, my teeth digging into the flesh of the yearling. The moan that escapes her lips has my skin rippling, my whole body responding to the sound like a magnet, aching to touch her, to be near her. Her eyes half close and I have to stop eating for a second before I choke on the meat, my breathing suddenly shallow and off rhythm. Damn, how does she do this to me from across the island? It's so distracting, but in a good way.

I can see she's holding herself back and a part of me wishes she wouldn't. I love Natalya for herself. She doesn't have to have class or manners or be picky for my benefit. I love it when she unleashes her full potential. I love it when she kills. Her smirk has me looking up, my tongue lazily gliding across my bloody lips, my hungry gaze still watching her intently. I smirk back at her compliment, bowing my head like a true gentleman though when I look up at her through my dark lashes, my eyes are molten gold and full of dark promises.

The words glide effortlessly off my tongue, my tail giving a flick of restlessness as I go back to my meal, though all the while watching her with one ear for her reaction. She doesn't seem hesitant or fearful of my looks, but then, she never has been. Like a true soul combined, we see each others' hunger reflected equally. It's a very arousing feeling. As she finishes up, she comes around to my side and lies down at my side. I inhale sharply with pleasure the moment she presses her side against mine, the contact driving me wild. She lies her head down on my back and I've never felt more comfortable. I smile and finish up my meal before turning my neck, pressing my nose deep into the fur of her chest. I nuzzle at her flesh before nipping it firmly, pulling back with a sly look in my eyes as my lips tug into a shy smile.

I wait for her answer before slowly rising to my feet. I take the time to shake out my coat before turning to her, watching as she rises herself. My gaze is still intent and hungry, watching her like a cat watching a very delicious mouse. Once she's up, I smirk and slowly lick my lips one more time, watching her the whole time, wanting to see her reaction to my unbridled emotions. Once I'm satisfied, I turn and start walking, knowing she'll be at my side in no time. We walk until we reach a cliff side and here I start following the wall to the right, though giving her enough space to walk between me and the wall if she so chooses. I never get enough of pressing my fur against hers, feeling the tantalizing ripples of comfort and pleasure wash over me with each touch. After walking some way, I find what I was looking for, the rock shaped like a wolf's fang. It juts down at a sharp angle, almost looking polished in the moonlight. Glancing up at it, I glance at the wolf at my side, giving her another smirk.

It's a simple command but so full of love and desire as I leap up onto a flat rock that runs parallel to the cliff side. Choosing carefully, I leap to the next rock up and then to the next. I continue this all the way around a bend in the cliff side and the rocks are getting smoother and harder to balance on. I glance back more, making sure Natalya is doing okay but I have no doubt in her abilities. I just want to make sure I don't need to jump off the side after her should she slip. Finally I make it to the jutted rock. I go right under the sharp angle, letting it scrape down my back and a mixture of pain and pleasure explodes in my body. I groan softly, thinking of Natalya before I turn to the right and mysteriously disappear into the cliff side. After a second or two, I poke my head out a little to make sure she knows where I am. The grin I give her is alive with a child-like excitement as my head disappears back into the hole. You can't see it from the ground and it's barely large enough for my big form to fit through. Once inside, you can hear a strange almost musical sound. There are shallow steps leading down and it curves around, following the outer cliffside before opening up into a spacious room. Light pokes in through the roof in tiny holes, looking every bit like the stars outside. Straight in front is a large waterfall. Now you know what the musical sound was. You would think it wouldn't fit in a space like this but the rocks have caved out and made the perfect drain for it. A large pool is at the foot of it and a light cloud of vapor blows off of it, coaxing you to get in.

I look up at her from the edge of the pool, my eyes mixed with eagerness and anxiety, wondering what she'll think. I dip the toes of my paw in the pool and hiss with pleasure before turning to her.

I give her a shy smile again, wondering how she'll react.
