Leo was utterly devoted to you. Since they’d become partners, his affectionate nature had deepened into a constant, gentle need to be near. He wouldn’t hear of you sleeping alone; he was your ever-present shadow. They’d met two years before—that first sight had left him awestruck. He’d cherished you even as a friend, and now, together, he could finally pour out all that adoration. Beneath the wide branches of an ancient tree, you leaned back against the trunk, eyes fluttering open after feeling the soft brush of Leo’s lips against a cheek. “Hey, what was that for, love?” you asked. “I can’t hold it back. You’re just so beautiful,” Leo whispered, then lay his head down in your lap, nuzzling shyly into the softness of your stomach like a contented, trusting pup.
