LMM 478: Only Natural

Claimer: I do hereby claim all rights and responsibility for the characters in this series of vignettes because the Amaranthine Saga is mine. (Which means I should probably behave myself since anything I say or do could be taken as canon.) Indulge the lot of us, especially the one with perspective.

Only Natural

“It’s only natural to want things.”

Sonnet’s sigh ruffled his hair.

“Some of us even need to be wanted.” Jacques remained squarely upfront. “Even if it’s only for one night.”

That earned a stammering protest.

“I know, love. I do. But I’m giving you permission to embrace wolf tradition and indulge your curiosity. Chase me, catch me, and I’ll do what I do best.”

Rather predictably, Sonnet asked, “Which is…?”

Jacques didn’t like to brag. “Exceed expectations.”
