Leopard's Run (Leopard People, #10)

by Christine Feehan

The leopard licked her shoulder and then bit down and held her still, waiting. Just waiting.

Again, this goes back to wanting the claiming to be special. Here we know Timur’s leopard is very violent, but we see the leopard be gentle with Ashe in her human form as he patiently waits for her leopard to accept him. The leopard is still Timur with Timur’s traits and needs as much as the leopard’s.
