It's The Place To Be

While Mariah traced along the form of his body with her small, delicate paws, he too carefully rode along her back and hips in unison. He only fed her in affection with no desire to push more barriers. Still, every bit of movement was filled with emotion. He knew Mariah wasn't thrilled about his leaving, and he hoped this could give her some sort of happiness. Even if it was a goodbye.

As she was popped back into reality, a breath left Cerberus from their extended kiss but he kept all his attention on her. He wasn't bothered by the groups of wolves nearby, that showed clear as day. Perhaps they both felt they didn't have anything to hide, but he wasn't bothered by the publicity either. That wasn't what was holding him back. He didn't want this to hurt her anymore than it already was. He'd give her this one good thing to remember him by, even as they passed each other back in Elysium when he came to visit his family.

"I have family there." He stated as she had asked, maybe even begged in a way without saying. "I'm sure we'll see each other again." He assured her, true to his heart. After tonight he could consider Mariah a friend, if that's what he wanted to tell himself. However to make himself feel like it wouldn't catastrophize her life. Their noses still nearly touching as Mariah held them there, he would reach forward to place a soft kiss on her cheek. Then leaned in a little more to nibble through the fur of her neck. Innocent, if she saw it that way.
