My heart keeps racing

As they strolled slowly through the forest, she felt the large man moving at her side. She certainly felt safe with him beside her. Of course, then she had to go an talk, and make herself nervous all over again. But if she didn't say something now, would she ever? Just like always, Quelt seemed to understand exactly what she meant. She paused in her stride, wanting to catch every word her said without any confusion. As he spoke, she felt her cheeks blush, her skin burning. She didn't know how, but he really did seem to understand her in every way, and for her, it was a beautiful thing. She didn't need to say what was exactly on her mind - he knew, and he felt it, too. When he finally said it, that he wanted to start a family with her, she smiled, a real, full smile that stretched across her entire muzzle.

"You always know exactly what to say," she said shyly, her black-tipped tail waving. As his mood shifted, and he felt more inclined to enter her space, she felt a momentary flicker of anxiety. Yet, the affectionate nibble at her cheek was something different, that made her feel nervous but in a new way, something she'd never experienced before. It caused her to giggle just slightly, and she felt rejuvenated, like she was young all over again. Despite the nervousness she felt, she certainly didn't want to move away from him, in fact, she felt like she wanted to step a little closer. She was not afraid, and felt an ecstatic rush of anticipation as he moved along her body, slowly as he paid attention to her reactions, showing the way he cared about her. It made her look forward to this endeavor all the more, and she knew she had chosen right in allowing this moment to happen between them. At last, he would make his move as her tail flicked to accommodate him - soon they would have a family to raise, a chance in the later end of life to do things just right. She smiled, giving in to the moment.
