Can You Fix The Broken

He was happy when she agreed with his statement. A part of him had worried that perhaps the unusual infatuation wasn’t mutual, but at the very least she was pleased to see him and gave him a silent invitation to join her at the water’s edge so she must at least enjoy his company. He wouldn’t hesitate to settle beside her and even though it was very tempting to sit with his side brushing hers, he tried to be polite and left a inch or so of space between them. It wasn’t much, but he at least felt better knowing he wasn’t intruding on her space without invitation.

For a short while he let his eyes linger on the fireflies as they danced across the surface of the lake in the most beautiful display of nature, but he still felt his attention being pulled by the delicate woman at his side. Occasionally he would steal a glance toward her while he tried to ignore that magnetic electricity that continued to pull him to close that small distance he had left between them. It was a longing and a desire that he still didn’t really know what to do with. He knew the immediate gratification and satisfaction that they could enjoy like they did the last time they found each other, but if she was going to continue to linger in his mind the way she had been since then...

Their blue gazes met and that undeniable draw he felt doubled with that warm, building tension. He was still trying to figure out where the line between something that was just lust and something that might be more than that was, but he was certain that he wouldn't figure that out tonight. After a moment of hesitation to see if she was going to pull away again or make an advance of her own, he let his head dip down to reach hers, brushing the sides of their muzzles together, soft and testing to make sure he was reading the signals correctly. He wasn't sure if he wanted all of their interactions to always start this way, but denying this attraction wasn't something he was strong enough to do.
