"Please, don't go," I whispered as I started kissing her neck once again.

She caressed my head but started saying the reasons why she knew it was wrong.

If they discovered that you were in the woods with me, kissing and caressing? As much as I love you and as much as we are mates, we are also enemies, Triton."

"No!" I said, my face still buried in her neck. "I don't care what they think! I don't care what will happen! All I want is you."

My Enemy, My Mate

I saw him standing there across the creek from me, and I felt my heartbeat quickly. His fur looked like black silk in the silver moonlight. His dark eyes looked like the night sky peering out at me from beneath the shade of his eyebrows. It made me think of how the stars peer through the breaks in the trees. 


"Hello," I called to him with a smile and a wave as I excitedly hopped across the stone path over the river. He could not respond to me with words, but I saw it in his eyes. He was happy and excited to see me too. 


When I got to the other side of the river, I threw my arms around his furry neck and nestled my head into his fur. It had a strength to it that also felt beautifully soft and luscious. I felt like I was burying all my stress from the day away in his mane of fur. It seemed to feel alive beneath my face and held some magic in it. I felt my pains sort of beginning to fade away to a distant memory.
