Bab 482: A Thought (Ch.483)

"To begin with...hug me?" Xenon suggested, a beguiling smile on his lips.

Xenon's blatant request was so typical of him that Neveah's lips twitched slightly in amusement.

"I can do that." Neveah conceded, 

A yelp of surprise escaped Neveah as Xenon pulled her into his arms before she had even gotten the words out.

Xenon nuzzled his head into Neveah's neck and inhaled deeply, a sigh of relief following after.

"The scent of you... I have missed it dearly. I have missed you, my little wolf." Xenon murmured, his voice muffled by Neveah's hair.

Neveah just remained still and stunned, it was hard to actually move with how tight Xenon's hold was, allowing just a fraction of space so Neveah could breathe and nothing more.

"Xenon...you can let go now." Neveah whispered slowly when Xenon's hug carried on for far longer than she had expected.

"In a moment." Xenon said, still holding onto Neveah like his life depended on it.
