If I were a cat I’d spend all nine lives with you

He'd lost her. Well, thought he'd lost her. Busying himself with hunting and honing his skills as of late, Gil wondered if he'd done something wrong. Whenever Modesty asked something of him, he obliged. Anything she wanted, she could have. Lately, though, she appeared on edge. While Gil thought himself intelligent, he'd never really cared for the adult side of things in life. Even as he had come of age, there had only been violence and loneliness on his mind. No female had ever caught his attention until he'd come across Modesty. And now that she had come into her first heat, anytime he was around her, something in his belly stirred. He thought, perhaps, that was why she'd been avoiding him.

Today was different though. Normally, he could find her quite easily on the beach or somewhere in the caverns. Not today, though. Worried that something had happened, even though she was capable enough to be on her own, Gil searched to pick up her sweet and tantalizing scent. Thankfully it hadn't taken long and he easily followed her trail out to the prairie. Pausing a moment, he glanced around until he noticed her lying atop a large boulder sunning herself. Everything in him stirred at her beauty. Maybe he was being stupid by letting her make the first moves. Maybe this could be his chance?

Trotting at a leisurely pace, Gil kept silent until he was in front of her. Tilting his head slightly, he smiled a bit more deviously than he usually did. "You smell delectable, my love," he purred in his deep voice as he hopped up onto the rock beside her. While both of their appearances had changed during the long night, he thought her appearance more attractive than ever. Everything about her drew him in. Even as he snuggled up close to her and planted a kiss on her cheek, he hoped he was doing the right thing. "Tell me what's on your mind?" Gil whispered into her ears as he tugged on it gently.
