"Alone at last!" Shutting the door on their family and friends, Kitty turned to Rachel with a beaming, expectant smile.
"Coo," Lockheed purred and dove into their bed.
Kitty shook her head as she gazed into Rachel's beautiful, green eyes, her brown orbs beginning to mist over again. "I was beginning to think you'd never come home this time, Ray! It's been so lonely without you!" Despite the string of boyfriends Kitty'd had, only one person in all the world truly filled her heart, and that was her beloved Rachel. She cupped her lovely face in her trembling hands and brushed her thumbs softly over her bruised cheeks. "Did you miss me, Ray?"
Rachel's smile was shaken. "O-Of course, I did, K-Kitty, but I - I just - "
Kitty touched her lips to hers in a searing kiss full of passion and love. She clung to her, her body pressing tightly against hers and her tongue dipping into her mouth's sweet well with an unquenchable thirst.
"Coo!" Lockheed called approvingly from the bed. The purple dragon wriggled his eyeridges at the girls.
But then Rachel broke all their hearts as, gasping, she tore her lips from Kitty's. "Kitty," she lied, "I'm not your Rachel! I don't remember you this way!" She forced herself to walk away. Her heart shattered again as she did so, but at least, this way, she knew she wouldn't hurt her love again when she had to leave once more. Rachel cried. Hunter or hunted, she was always doomed.
