He hadn’t expected to hear her voice. Jade eyes were quick to dart to her dainty frame, he’d been sure she was out for the day. Inky ears flicked back and forth as he tried to decide if he should be ashamed for how far he was pushing or proud. He didn’t miss how covered in dirt she was, but he wasn’t aware of how vain she could be either. She was comfortable with him and he respected her and how dirty she was willing to get for her plants. She was more endearing half covered in dirt. Like a pup finding its first mud puddle.

The comparison brought a grin to his face, ”I’ll be sore when I get back to the cottage.” He could only handle walking short distances, for now the boundaries of the cabin’s reaches. Roan watched as she padded closer, and he couldn’t help but lean into her affection and enjoy the stolen kiss. Inky black lips pulled back in a sly grin, he loved the way she gave him little affections throughout their day. Being beside Iolaire made him feel complete.

Similarly Roan reached out to mirror her kiss with his own, he boasted his actions from the hilltop. He didn’t like other wolves seeing his emotions, but he’d show his affection for Iolaire to anyone. ”I could be convinced to rest in the garden.” The silver marked titan suggested as he embraced the fluttering butterflies in his belly. Casual and easy, even though he’d already made up his mind.
