took something out of his belt, opening his fist to show me a delicately twined ring fashioned from braided bits of animal hide, an opal like shimmering stone beaded in the center.
He made it, I know he did.
"Meanie said her people marriage. For forever. Meanie marriage Veck forever?" he asked as he held the ring in his open palm out to me.
"How did you do all this?"
My eyes were tearing up as the magnitude of what he'd done for me sank in.
Where did he find the time to do all this? We're always so busy lately.
"Meanie sleep, some nights Veck make marriage. No worry Meanie, Tarnk watch home. No one hurt Meanie."
"Oh, Veck ." I was openly crying now.
Veck looked startled and popped up, cradling me up against him as he made soothing noises in his own language, trying to calm me.
Once I'd gotten a hold of myself, he set me down and wiped the stray tears from my eyes.
He looked at me and his face dropped.
"No cry, Meanie. Meanie doesn't have to marriage with Veck," he said hoarsely, clearing his throat uncomfortably.
"No! That's not why I'm crying!" I said hurriedly.
His brows beetled in confusion.
"Meanie..."
"I'm crying because that's the sweetest thing anyone has ever done for me." I started to tear up again. "I'm crying because I'm happy," I wailed, little hiccups escaping me as I threw myself at him and buried my face in the thick fur of his chest.
A rumbling purr started up in Veck's chest and I laughed a little, sniffling through it.
"Meanie like Veck's present then?" he asked chuckling a little, rubbing his hands over my neck and back, stroking my hair.
"Yes," I mumbled, my voice coming out muffled against his chest.
He picked me up and I wrapped my legs around his waist, cuddling myself against him, burrowing into his warmth as I breathed in his scent.
"Meanie wear Veck’s ring and stay forever like Meanie says people do?"
"Yes." I grinned as I cupped his face and pressed my lips to his. "Yes."
He gripped my rump in one hand and ran the other hand over his lips, surprised.
"What's this?" he asked as he smiled against his fingertips.
"It's a kiss. Haven't you ever kissed anyone before?"
He looked truly shocked, but elated, so I'd say that answers that question.
I guess we've never kissed on the lips before...
I found that hard to believe, but the more I thought about it, the more I realized I couldn't recall a time when we had.
"Only Me anie for Veck."
His brow wrinkled and he blinked at me.
"You mean you've only kissed me?" I asked a little confused.
"No." He shook his head. "Lo denaii only one mate. Meanie Veck's," he said succinctly.
"You mean... you've never been with anyone else? ...ever?" I asked incredulously, my eyes bugging out at the idea.
"Only Meanie," he said solemnly, nodding his head emphatically.
"You... you were... you were a virgin ?" I blurted, my voice squeaking at the end.
If it could, my jaw would probably be hanging off its hinges, hanging by my knees by now.
"Veck not vir… gin...Veck Lo denaii ..." He frowned down at me.
I giggled at his misinterpretation and hugged him, breaking out into a fit of giggles when he scowled at me.
"What makes Meanie laugh? Veck not funny."
I grinned and kissed him again, giggling against his mouth when he purred and clutched me tighter to him.
"Meanie make Veck happy," he murmured against my lips, swooping in to capture my lips with his own. "Very happy."
I grinned, smiling against his mouth.
"Veck likes kissing his Meanie." He purred and I sucked on his lower lip, nipping at it playfully as he moaned and gripped me tighter, his large hands pawing at my pants, sliding my legs from around his waist so he could pull my pants off.
"I don't think that's going to work," I giggled as I licked the seam of his mouth.
He growled in frustration, then growled again when he realized he'd forgotten about my boots.
I motioned for him to set me down and turned around, placing my hands on the tree stump, arching my backside into the air
He made it, I know he did.
