"My grandfather was washing the dirt off my sleeping grandmothers face, she had fallen on the floor before she made it into the tavern. She hadn't looked into his eyes before, knowing he was royalty, but as soon as she woke up sober and realised someone was cleaning her face, her eyes shot open and look into his, falling instantly in love. That's another thing, love at first sight exists too".
"I know" Penelope said all of a sudden, her gaze faultering to their hands, but she looked back up at him quickly.
Arthur's face burnt red, he knew it for himself too...
"Anyway *cough*" Arthur had to continue, "They fell in love, there souls connected from their eyes, physical contact, touching, among other things that I don't want to think about, and she appeared before the Great Moon with my grandfathers hand in hers, before she was granted an animal soul, she was indeed also worthy. Her soul is that of a Camarillo White Horse, she is called the 'Immortal Queen' of course, due to the fact the moon also granted her the immortal power. The age process stops when they begin the immortal change underneath the Great Moon, my grandfather had just turnt thirty, my grandmother twenty eight".
"They of course went on to have a son, my father, who is called Ralph. He had his life made from birth, of course his parents being the king and queen. But he had lost his beloved dog when he was just twelve years old, he had no friends for a royal, his dog being his rock. He was of course heart broken, it stayed with him for another thirteen years before he met my mother Ester, she had lost her beloved parrot, similar to my fathers story, but when she was older, twenty four to be exact. The same thing happened with my parents that happened to my grand parents. My father has the soul of an Ostrich and my mother has the soul of a Zebra, both being immortal".
Arthur paused, he was finished with his story, Penelope wanted to know more however, but she wanted to tread carefully, not to spook him.
"Thank you for telling me" She smiled sweetly at him, she kissed his cheek, this time for longer.
Arthur could smell the perfume on her neck, 'flowers' he thought to himself dreamily, he discreetly smelt her more, until she pulled away. His face was now like Penelope's always was, red as a tomato! Penelope wiped the lipstick off his cheek with her thumb, and placed her hands back on his, Arthur was just staring at her face still.
"It's all very fascinating, I can't believe people like that are real, and having the soul of an animal intertwined with their own, it's so amazing, I'm jealous" Her voice high pitched at the end of her sentence, causing Arthur to laugh.
"So I have a question" Penelope asks cautiously.
"What is it?"
"What animal soul have you got, I assume you have one?" She whispered a little.
Arthur swallowed at this question, he was nervous to answer, because it would answer a lot of Penelope's questions, and he didn't want to anger her. But he had said too much already to her, so he might as well say.
"Uh *cough*, my my um" He struggled to answer.
"It's ok you don't have to tell me, you have told me more than enough already" Penelope stroked his hands a little with her thumbs, smiling at him sweetly.
Penelope shocked Arthur a lot with her responses, but this one topped it all. She knew everything he had said was really personal, and she got the feeling he had never told anyone any of it before, outside the Anima De A Animālis race. He knew she was fasinated by his story, but she stopped him for the sake of it maybe being too much for him to recall all at once, he may make himself stressed. Arthur could feel her feelings running through him. His eyes widen as his heart grew two sizes, he knew in this moment, he loved her...
Arthur suddenly shocked Penelope, he had almost kissed her lips before wavering and settling on her rosy cheek, 'fuck it's too soon' he thought, 'but I want to'. He left his kiss there for a couple of seconds, at this point Penelope's hands let go of Arthur's and she had them inches away from his biceps when she stopped. He removed his kiss from her cheek, her breath audible for him, Arthur stopped his lips not even ten centimetres away from Penelope's. Their breaths fanned each others faces slightly, they both gazed into each others eyes that burned with desire. Penelope let out a small whisper...
"What are you doing?" Her lips now a little closer to his, her hands now holding his biceps, Arthur's muscles moved at her touch, he was losing control.
"Stop moving closer to me" He growled quietly, not moving an inch.
"I'm not you are moving towards me" Penelope whispered, biting her lip, she knew he liked that, so she smirked cheekily.
"Stop it" He growled louder, he licked his lips a little.
"Stop what?" She carried on biting her lip and smirking.
"Penelope stop" He said biting his own lip now, his eyes closing.
Arthur was trying to control himself and Penelope could see that, so she moved her head back just as Arthur opened his bright green eyes, he quickily put his hand on the back of her head, stopping her from moving.
"You need to stop right now, before I do something you won't like" Arthur whispered as he drew her head forward, now at the same distance as before.
"What won't I like?" Her eyes fluttered closed.
"Well you don't want me to make a move on you now do you?" He purred at her.
Penelope's eyes opened again, this time seducing him.
"You already made a move on me and I'm not complaining" She purred.
Arthur's eyes were wide at her response, he couldn't believe it. 'Does she want me to kiss her?' He repeated over and over in his head. Before he had an answer, Penelope put her hands on either side of his face, caressing his cheeks with her thumbs. She looked longingly at him. 'She, she want's me to'. He hesitated before Penelope got impatient, and pulled his face to hers and placed her plump lips strongly against his.
Arthur was so taken back by this, his hands were up in the air. Penelope pulled away quickly, waiting for a response from him. She waited a few seconds before Arthur quietly growled low and put his arm around her waist, the other on the back of her head again and pulled her face forward strongly so her lips crashed against his...
