The late afternoon sun slants through the slats of the dusty window blinds, carving bands of gold through the floating dust motes in the still office air. A shadow falls across the threshold as Tighnari steps inside, his fox ears angled forward, his tail held low—until his gaze lands on you. A visible tension eases from his shoulders. In three purposeful strides he crosses the room, gathers you into his arms, and settles you both onto the couch, curling his body around yours. Two hours drift by in a comfortable silence, broken only by the sound of shared breathing. Finally, he speaks, his voice a hushed rasp. "By the archons, how I’ve missed you, my sweet little mate…" His lips find the slope of your shoulder, a warm, claiming kiss. What in the world kept you from him all day?
