Bab 540: Want To Hug Dusk

"You are such a sweet pet. Let me hug you and squeeze you—" Seren stepped forward with her arms open for a hug, but Dusk swiftly dodged, flying a bit before landing back on that wide stone railing of the balcony. 

It was instinct. Dusk could feel the sudden change in Drayce's gaze. Deep in his conscience, he knew it was not a good thing to let her touch him more than required as he was deceiving Seren. If by chance one day his identity were to be revealed to her, he didn't want her to recall acting so intimately and regret those innocent touches after realizing she was doing all these with a man, and not just an animal.

Seren looked at the eagle, feeling puzzled that he dodged, and then looked at Drayce. "I wasn't going to really squeeze him. Did I just scare him?"

Drayce moved his gaze from his pet to his wife. "Birds don't find hugs comfortable. If you wish to have a pet that you can hug, we can get you a dog or any other small animal."
