Chase arrived just as the sun began to sink in the sky.
He started looking for his girlfriend.
A cool breeze rose from the ocean and the sound of waves crashing against the shore.
Still, there was no sign of Zuma.
- Hope I'm not late.
- Just in time.
Chase turned to see Zume walking towards him.
As soon as their eyes met, she smiled radiantly and leapt into his paws.
He grabbed her and they hugged for a long time.
They released their grip and Zuma slipped her paw into Chase's paws.
They walked side by side along the shore.
They were silent for several minutes, just enjoying their presence.
Finally, Chase began a conversation.
- You chose a nice place.
They both decided they had found a good place for the evening.
The sand was warm to the sun all day, but a cool breeze from the ocean created a pleasant atmosphere.
They lay down together, their heads next to each other.
- Did you say Skye? ... Chase asked ... Did you quarrel?
She was silent for a moment.
Then she began to speak slowly.
- No. Not exactly. She mocked that she congratulated me on seducing you. She explained how my persistence in stealing her man had paid off. And that you will come back to her when you get bored with me. But she said she would not intervene.
Chase sneered.
- How generously! deigns to let me have a tryst, but as soon as she snaps her fingers, we have to pretend our relationship is nothing. And as a diligent lapdog, I should just run to her and beg for my bone!
Zuma sighed in surprise.
- Chase! I've never heard you speak like this!
- I'm sick of treating me like shit. dirty stray dog! ... Chase sighed heavily ... It's just ... I'm tired ... I'm not her property. I can make my own choices.
Zuma leaned over and gave him a gentle kiss on the lips.
Then she started gently stroking his cheek.
- All right, chase. I am here for you.
Smiling, chase turned his head to meet Zuma's eyes.
- You were always there for me, zuma. Forgive me for not noticing this sooner.
- There is nothing to forgive.
- When I was injured, you were there to look after me. When I was in despair, you were there to console me. When I got lost, you showed me the way. It is a sign of unconditional love.
Her eyes watered and she snuggled against his chest.
- Nobody had ever told me anything like this before. I ... love you so much.
Chase lightly stroked her fur.
- I love you too, Zumi. I was always drawn to you, but I suppressed it for so long. Never again. You complete me and I want to spend the rest of my life with you.
- Me too, chase.
The sun began to descend slowly and the shadows lengthened.
The day was giving way to the night.
The two lovers silently watched the sunset, huddled in each other's paws.
The sound of the waves crashing against the shore, the distant sounds of various wild animals were soothing to them.
they made love deep at night.
Their furs glistened in the moonlight, and their shouts of passion echoed.
Hours later, exhausted by the effort, the two lovers curled up in their paws.
Chase rested his head on Zuma's chest as she gently combed her paw through Chase's fur.
It didn't take long before he fell asleep soundly.
Zuma kissed his head and whispered goodnight.
- Shh ... Rest now, Chase. You will always be safe in my paws.
