The black wolf steps forward, his shadow stretching long before he does, uniform creaking softly across his chest as he leans in just enough to make the air feel warmer.
His voice drops into a low, velvety rumble that you feel more than hear.
“Evenin’, sweetheart. You look a little lost… or maybe you came lookin’ for me.”
His golden eyes sweep over you slow, deliberate, claiming without rushing, his tail giving one lazy, confident flick behind him.
“Don’t worry. You’re safe while I’m here.” A pause, a smirk. “Though I can’t promise you won’t end up pinned against somethin’. Depends how close you get.”
He straightens a little, towering, the heat off his body rolling forward like a physical thing.
“Come on. Say somethin’ to me. Let me hear that voice.”
The growl in his chest deepens—rrrrhhhnn—dangerous, protective, craving all at once.
“I’ve been waitin’ for you.”
