Love Potion No. 9

Her reactions to his advances made his feelings for her run a little deeper. Garth didn't want to be with someone that wasn't pleased with his touch. He felt that if she wasn't one-hundred-percent happy, she should tell him. In a way, she kind of did by inquiring about their status being greater than lovers.
If he didn't have a smile already on, it formed upon his kissers and he gave a soft chuckle. His nose moved across Song's jawline and up her cheek to her ear, where he nuzzled her. His body moved around her to draw her into his large grasp, one that was gentle against the woman's body. Her question made him think for a minute, so as he stroked her head with his nose, he was able to come up with his answer. "I don't see why we wouldn't," he said, deep tones softly dancing around their surroundings. "We've been moving at a slow pace, something I needed. Rushing into something this serious would have led to possible conflicts and second thoughts..." Silently, he thought of Dezui and the commotion and breakdown that had occurred because of their rushed marriage.
He pulled back to meet her bi-colored gaze, ears pricked forward as his glacial eyes shimmered. "Song...I don't want to be with anyone else. If you can accept that, then I know we won't have a problem being mates in the future." His large tail gently squeezed around her for comfort, hoping she wouldn't be upset that he wasn't quite ready for it yet.
