How far we've come

Pleasured groans and growls were drawn from the giant as Dalila massaged his paws before moving on to his forelegs. The woman was igniting a fire within him and he was pretty sure that she knew it. Why else would she go to all this trouble? He wasn't complaining though. This whole little outing that she'd prepared for them was very pleasing. It seemed like she had missed him and, surprisingly, he had missed her as well.

Dalila thanked him for tending to the garden and, as she leaned into his side, Chimera curled his neck to place a kiss upon her crystal encrusted crown. "I enjoy doing things for those that I love," he admitted softly. The patchwork woman had worked her way into his heart. She had shown her competence and devotion by running the pack in his absence. She cared for Siren, Aliana and all of his children. She mothered the most beautiful daughter for him. As if that wasn't enough, Dalila showed him regularly that he meant something to her. She wasn't just giving herself to him because he was the King of Fenmyre or because she felt obligated. She truly wanted to be with him. He could see it in her beautiful blue eyes.

Shifting his big frame, Chimera slid one foreleg over Dalila's body, drawing her in close while rolling her onto her back. He kept his leg wrapped around her, pressing them chest to chest. The brutes pink eye bore into the fae's blue gaze. "I love you, Dalila Klein," he spoke softly as he stared down into her eyes. "It took us a while, but I love you." Did she love him in turn? Did it matter?

Lowering his head, Chimera stole a kiss from the woman in his arms. His tongue darted into her mouth and he tasted the flavor that was all Dalila. The kiss was short, but it brought a low growl forming in his chest. He spoke softly, his lips brushing against her own with each word. "If you had other plans, we should get to them before I make a mess of this place," His tongue flicked over her lips, "And a mess of you," he purred darkly.
