Torak POV
Wolf bared his teeth in a big wolf grin. I laughed.
"Go on, Torak, give him another one!" Renn giggled.
"What about me? Do I not deserve one!?" I said indignantly, still laughing.
"No!" Renn shouts, and before I can move, she grabs the pouch of Lingon berry oatcakes out of my hands.
"Hey!" I growled, and Wolf watched with amused expression. His amber eyes calculating, he gazed at us intently.
Suddenly he turned and raced away, in the direction of his den. I had to suppress a sigh. It was hard to do anything with Wolf now, because he was always with his mate and cubs.
I know I shouldn't be annoyed, because it was good his pack had expanded. I was happy for him in a way, but I knew we'd both changed. We had responsibilities now, greater than we could imagine.
"Come on; Catch me!" Renn yelled, throwing the pouch into the air and catching it. "If you can.." she added, and grinning mischievously, she ran off into the wood's.
"Oh, I can!" I shouted, and I sprinted off after her.
As I ran, tree branches whipped past me, and the undergrowth snared my ankles. Humph. The forest wanted Renn to escape!
Where was Renn? She should be right in front-
Suddenly a brown blur leapt out at me, smelling of Lingon Berries and sweet flowers.
"Agggh!" I gasped, and struggled against the creature.
"Ouch! Stop kicking me Torak! Its me, Renn!" Oops. I suddenly realised Renn was lying on me, clutching her side.
"Oh. Sorry." I mumbled, raising myself up on my elbows. "Can I have an oatcake now?"
"Umm..yeah..sure." Renn said, sounding deflated. Somehow I guessed this wasn't the reaction she was looking for.
"Renn?" I asked, and she ducked her head down, hiding behind her curtain of dark hair.
"Mmm?"
I swiftly leaned forward, tucking her hair behind her ears and then I pressed my lips to hers.
"Oh!" she gasped, and I was afraid I'd done something wrong. I pulled back, anxious to see her face.
"Sorry-I- um" I stuttered, but Renn said nothing, just grabbed my hand and kissed me.
Her lips were smooth and full, and I felt like I was experiencing a new Renn, a Renn I most definitely liked.
After what felt like forever and only a second all at once, we drew back slightly, and Renn lay her head on my shoulder.
I was breathless, exhilarated, but so happy I felt light.
"Mmm… Torak…you taste of Lingon Berries…"
