Transforming into a gentle giant, Taccit carries me out of the water bridal style, and immediately the cool air playfully nips at my skin. I cling tightly to him, burrowing my face into the crook of his neck, reveling in the warmth emitted from his larger frame.

He lowers me, my feet sinking into the sandy soil. With one arm wrapped around my waist, his other retrieves a basket from a low-hanging branch. From inside, he pulls a large leather pelt, quickly draping it around my shivering shoulders like an impromptu cape.

He plants a tender peck of a kiss on my forehead before guiding me to sit on a nearby smooth rock. With practiced ease, he clears out a fire pit and kindles a small flame within seconds.

Taccit glances up at me with concern. “Are you warm enough?”

I blush, unused to such concern, the heat in my cheeks giving me a bit more warmth. “Yes, thank you.”

I stretch out my legs, letting my toes escape from the length of the blanket and push towards the growing warmth of the fire. It feels comforting. For the first time in so long, I feel content.

“So...” I begin, but am unsure how to proceed. I’m unsure what to say, how to behave now that our relationship has been taken to the next level. Do I act like everything is normal and absolutely nothing has changed between us?

My late husband wasn’t a bad man, but he despised small talk. Our pillow talk consisted of sleepy silence, punctuated by gentle snores. He’d hold me sometimes, but the memory pales in comparison to Taccit, who now shines like the sun in the cold light of retrospect.

Taccit tilts his head, a clear signal that he’s all ears while he busies himself with a few small bags from his belt. He may not look like a human, but he’s quite handsome. With his strength and refined muscles, some might even call him mouth-watering. I can easily picture him strutting his stuff on Earth, appearing in vids and talk shows, rubbing elbows with high society. He’d steal hearts left and right.

A twinge of envy strikes me at the thought of others ogling Taccit as I am now. I don’t want to share him.

The muscles on his back flex with each of his movements, drawing my eye. It gives me a delightful view of his rather strange—but quickly appreciated—tail and his thick thighs.

“Hey Taccit. Why doesn’t your back have your markings?”

Taccit sighs, grabs a bag, and saunters over to me. I attempt to wiggle over to give him space, but instead, he easily scoops me up. He plops down cross-legged on the ground, leaning against the rock, and gingerly sets me in his lap.

“I have no markings on my back because I have no tribe members to put them there.”

“I thought your markings were like... natural. Not placed. You said they appeared when you found me.” A touch of anxiety swells within me. He had hinted that his markings signified he had found his mate.
