"No mating. We could get awfully close to the real thing. Just to fulfil some... primal need," she said, sounding a little unsure of herself.
"Sex without intercourse." He had to know what she desired, not wanting to go too far if that hadn't been her intention. It was killing him not to just lift her up and carry her back to their primitive bed and make her his mate.
"Or not. Just an idea."
