Puppy Love

A gentle, blissful sigh left the girl's lips. In some ways, it was probably good that they both agreed they ought to be saying goodbye soon. Every moment she spent in Maverick's presence made her desire him even more, made the girl feel much less in control of her thoughts and actions that she was used to. She would certainly embrace the helplessness if it meant more time with Maverick, but her judgement told her that their time together was quickly becoming over. Epiphron still had some semblance of self-control, and she was determined to keep it that way... for as long as she could stand it.

Those sapphire blue eyes of hers would scan his face, taking in every detail, lingering on each one of his features. It would be two weeks until they met again, and that was two weeks too long for her -- but she would grin and bear it, as she always had. Perhaps the time spent apart would make their reunion that much more exhilarating. She was certain that it would, but she was worried about the time between then and now, when the Seracian prince would refuse to leave her mind, possibly even finding his way into her dreams. Even though he was far away, he had certainly become part of her everyday life, thoughts of him impinging her mind far too frequently.

"We won't stay there long," she assured him gently, her nose pressing into his own. Their locked gaze seemed unbreakable, and she was hesitant to look away, as though doing so would make their slowly approaching departure a painful reality. "I just want to make sure we find each other." Didn't want to waste precious time she could be spending with him, that was.

"You're right," she mumbled half-heartedly, squirming on the ground to shift closer to him. The girl would press her body into his on, the positioning awkward but comfortable; she pulled her legs into her chest, burying her muzzle into the thick fur of his chest. She would've preferred for Maverick to be the one breaking the embrace, but despite the fact that she found him irresistible, she found the strength to retract from him and slowly lift herself onto all four paws. She had to leave, but every muscle in her body was tense, wanting so badly to resist the inevitable.
