"are you doing that," Craig managed to whisper in between the growing embraces of the young Uratha at hi side. The slightest shift, the moment when the gauntlet seemed to  waiver around them called to his supernal self. He had the desire to break the embrace, to cast about with sight even as defenses ingrained in his mind began to form. He smoothed these natural urges and desires, staying within the protective hold of his lover. He knew, he felt, he would be safe with her. he had to trust her.<br/><br/>He pulled Peg closer to his body, the intensity of their meeting hidden in what would seem to most as simple gestures. The need inside to be with her, to continue to stay close was almost instinctual and could not be denied. His head bent down, pushing his lips past her cheek to her neck as he nuzzled and kissed his way across her exposed skin.
