His orbs never left her face, a beauty in it self. He brushed the hair from her face and tucked it behind her ear than leaned in and kissed her forehead gently a wave of happiness washed over him as she stuttered those heavenly words. His lips turned into a smile and his hostile bad-ass attitude began to seep away. His heart pounded in his chest a mile a minute, almost threatening to burst out from his rib cage and leap at Lyall. He nodded his head along with her words," I.. We.. We can go slow Lyall, I'll go as slow as you need or want. Just tell me the rules and I'll be sure they are met darlin'." He said reassuringly letting her know he was down for anything, and would do it.<br/><br/>He continued to listen, and saw the tears swell in her eyes, and she sobbed in plea of him to not hurt her. A lump had lodged its self in his throat and gulped a few times in desperation to dislodge the lump than a slight wave of anger flared across his face as he heard she had been hurt before. That is something he did not want his mate to ever endure again,"I promise, I will never hurt you as long as I have the power to do so, and I will hurt anything that hurts my<span style="font-style: italic">she wolf</span>. Besides I wouldn't be able to hurt you even if I wanted to, I couldn't damage the essence of which I bask in."He said, hoping that made a lick of sense.<br/><br/>He chose than to slowly wrap his arms around her, one of his large arms around her waist and the other going in a downward angle across her back. He made sure his movements were slow and wouldn't scare her. His face fit perfectly between her shoulder and neck and he nuzzled her gently, trying to comfort her, his thumbs sliding across her clothing, another motion of reassurance. For some reason he had a feeling she was a bag of damaged goods and he had some work to do mending together a lot of broken off pieces. He whispered thank you and just held her, feeling as though she needed his embrace as his skin tingled with delight to finally have her in his arms.<br/><br/>He could feel his wolf murr in approval, and agreed with his wolf, who was normally a blood hungry horn dog. His wolf wanted to grab her up and haul her off like a cave man and bring her to his home were he would lock her and him in his bedroom and not come out until they were both fully satisfied. Though he knew she was going to want to go slow in that department and would probably make him wait a good month or so before he even got to see her breasts. This made him a bit sad, but would do what ever she needed, he was going to prove that he felt different about her than any other woman.
