Ah! Had- had I really said that? I- I didn't mean to. Why? Why did I say that?
No- No- I had to make nice. I- I need to apologize.
But... but as he nuzzled against me, let his cheek rest against mine without complaint... it- it was just so hard to not.
And uh- well as the smell rushed through my nose again. This heady feeling rumbled through me. Like- like some kind of crush. I- I had to say something. I don't want to appear weird.
Oh god! Am I already weird to him? Am I?!
I took a deep breath and let go.
"I-"
I tried to apologize but... nothing came out.
My knees buckled. I felt myself look up at that heavenly sight. He who stood atop my pride. He who had given me life... had taken my affections.
Was this artificial? Was it the result of some spell?
Maybe?
But this wild animal-like attraction. It was a far greater pull than I could resist.
