Alonzo entered his and Cassandra's den at his usual time after patrolling and greeted her with the usual kiss on the cheek and a quick 'hello'.

'How was patrolling?' she asked flatly, expecting his usual answer of 'fine'.

'Uhh .. good.' He replied, stifling a small smile as he thought of Bombalurina.

Cassandra raised her eyebrows in surprise, she hadn't heard that reply before.

'What did you do today?' he asked awkwardly.

'Nothing.'

'Oh.'

The couple stared at one another, Alonzo managed a small smile but Cassandra's face was twisted up into a scowl, as if she knew that he was hiding something.

She sighed deeply, 'I'm going to bed.' Alonzo nodded and she turned from him and walked into their bedroom. Alonzo paused and followed her and lay next to her, she was curled up at the side of the cushion, distancing herself from him, with her arms crossed across her chest and her back facing him. Jeez, she's even pissed at me when she's sleeping. As he settled into the bed he could hear her breathing softly as she slept. He turned on to his side and wished that he was with Bombalurina. He imagined her touch, the sensation from her crimson paws as she ran them across his chest and her soft kisses that drove him wild. He couldn't take it anymore. He had to see her. He tore the blanket away from his body and shivered as the cool air reached his fur. He looked over to Cassandra to make sure she was asleep and crept to the doorway. He turned and stared at her, his stomach wrenching in guilt. But he couldn't help it, Bombalurina's charm was too strong for him to ignore.

He turned his head and walked hastily out of the den, not looking back. He knocked on her door and whatever guilt he had felt for Cassandra faded within seconds as the red beauty answered the door and greeted him with a passionate kiss whilst pulling him into her den. The kisses were frenzied and romantic, and as they crashed into Bombalurina's bedroom, Alonzo could hear the pounding of his heart in his ears, the intensity of the kiss leaving him breathless and out of control.

Bombalurina's breathing was shallow as she rested atop Alonzo's chest, listening to his heartbeat, her head rising and falling evenly in unison with his breathing.

'Did you miss me?' he asked.

'Pfft, no.' she replied, raising her head and leaning her chin against his chest so she could look into his eyes. Liar, you thought about him everyday since he left.

'Thanks for that!' he scoffed, 'I missed you.' he said softly, stroking underneath her chin, making her purr.

'I know you did, or you wouldn't be here.' she said innocently, staring at his chest and then moving her gaze up to his.

'Good point.' he chuckled, shoving her off of him.

'Oi!' she growled and leapt on top of him, both of them laughing.

'I knew you missed me.' he said smoothly.

'I'm sorry?'

'You can't keep your paws off me, i'm irresistible, eh?' he winked.

Bombalurina laughed, 'You wish sweetcheeks.'

Alonzo nodded and flashed her a lopsided grin as the laughter faded, which made her melt in his arms.

'Kiss me, Bomba.'

Bombalurina smiled at him, but her heart sank knowing that the time they spent together would be limited and rare. But she let these thoughts drift from her mind and focused on what she had. She would savor this moment and moments like them, and she kissed him tenderly before falling into a light slumber on his chest wrapped in his comforting grip. Ignoring the fact that he would be gone by the morning.
