Chapter Six;

Loose Ends

The warm sun beat down on me and I bashed in her heat contentedly. Misto sat splayed out with his back against an old billboard at the side of the clearing, I reclined between his legs my paw resting on his thigh and my head upon his chest.

"Misto?"

"Mmm?" he nibbled my ear lazily, his paw suddenly on my belly, "What is it?"

"If you wrote the letters, what made you think you lost me?" I turned my head a little so I could see him out of the corner of my eye. He sighed, kissing my shoulder,

"I heard you talking to Jemi, I only heard you say that you would tell him you loved him..." I felt a gentle love-bite of his sharp incisors, "How was I to know you were talking about me?" I giggled,

"Who did you think I meant?"

"Plato. I've really hated him since the Ball." we both laughed and I maneuvered around to put my arms about his neck, liking the warmth of his muscled chest against my cheek.

"I love you Misto. Bast, I really love you." I felt him kiss the top of my head,

"You know I would give up my magic to hear you say that and I could die content having done." Not being able to help myself, I pulled my new mate into my embrace again, his lips were irresistible as his charm.
