As soon as Tori changes to her human form, Tannr pulls her into his arms. “It's getting light out...”

Tori nods, “I know. And I have some work to finish up in the gallery before I can rest for the day.”

Tannr breathes in her scent, reluctant to let go. He kisses her lips, then her forehead and laughs softly. “Where did my clothes end up?”

Tori smiles and grabbing a short silk robe from a chair near the door leads him to the couch where they started out.

As Tannr dresses he says, “Erik tells me Star has some work in your gallery. I would love to see it sometime..”

“She does. She is very gifted. I can show you now, before you leave...” Tori lets the words trail off.

Shaking his head Tannr says “No, not now. It gives me an excuse to come back. Just in case you were planning to ditch me after this.”

Tori swats him, laughing. “It was... very....” She looks towards the back window and at the shadows beginning to lighten in the alleyway. “Keon is waiting for you with the horses.” At Tannrs puzzled look she adds, “I asked Stoney to tell him to meet you here. Star worries about everything these days, I didnt want you to get lost or anything.”

“Thanks... I doubt if I would get lost, but I appreciate the gesture.” He pulls her close again, molding his body to hers, a reminder of the night they had just shared.

Tori looks up and smiles at him, her hand giving a lock of hair a gentle tug.

“Mmm... that smile...” He kisses her deeply then takes a step back. “I'll see you soon Red...” and he was out the door...
