He slurps right across her lips, and she shrieks, reaches up, and whacks him upside the head. I freeze. He doesn’t even snarl. He plops back and rests his head on his paws, makin’ eyes at her, a contrite whine in the back of his throat. And then when she reaches out to pet him, he lunges up and slobbers on her face again. He loves her shrieks. He thinks this is the best shit ever. And she’s smiling. Maybe I’d be, too. If I were in my human skin. It would be a sight to see. A giant wolf teasing this small female as if he’s a pup. This whole interaction is blowing my mind.
