What You Mean to Me

There were no more words between them but there didn't need to be. The look on Aliana's face as he pulled her into a kiss was confession enough that she felt the same. The woman deepened the kiss and Chimera groaned against her lips. Her paws began to move over him and he placed his own giant paw upon her lower spine, pulling her in close to him. He could tell what she wanted, but for the first time, Chimera was hesitant. The naturally virile man would hold back and would not give in to his desire to ravish the woman right here on the raft. He had hurt her, harmed her mentally and physically. The result of that now rested in her womb. No... Chimera, who never regretted anything, was regretting his baser actions and regretting what they had produced.

With one final kiss to Aliana's lips, Chimera pulled back and placed a soft, sweet kiss on the clouded fae's brow. "Let's go home," he purred into her ear as he continued to hold her close. One last squeeze and he released her. Taking up the rope once more, the man pulled them back to their island home. He didn't forget about the anomaly on the mainland by any means, but he felt much safer on his own shores.
