Run was the first word that came to mind. As claws replaced her nails, she had wanted nothing but to rid herself of what had been taken place. The feline couldn’t fully comprehend what had happened, but it had left her disorientated. Even through her own embarrassment, Naomi had the realization that something hadn’t been right. The first time she had acknowledged this since all had happened. That realization sunk deep in her soul as the leopardess felt like she had been hit by a freight train. She had shuffled backwards a bit more, her heels bit into the banister. Claws had dug into the ledge as her lips had quivered. Naomi hadn’t known what was going on, but she needed to be free from it.
As Rafe had taken steps forward, she had been hyper focused on his moments. The feline heard her name spoken, but she had not responded nor held his gaze. As soon as the vampire had entered her energy field, Naomi had wanted nothing but to retract. The gentle touch had now allowed the feline to as a warm sensation had spread across her body. The soothing motion of the caress of her arm had caused her racing heart to calm. The rhythmic beat of her heart had not been as intense as her muscles started to release tense. The frantic need to run had started to subsided as it had been pushed into the back of the leopardess’s mind. Claws had retracted as her palms had loosened grip on the ledge. The once glowing orbs had returned to its brown hue as she slowly blinked.
Naomi had heard her friend’s words, but had not comment. The feline wasn’t sure if she could get herself to speak at the moment as her mind had seemed to calm in the smallest of ways. She had basked in the moment, allowing his touch to provide some comfort. The leopardess knew Rafe had been sincere with his words and would provide what she needed without hesitation. She could not think about what had been needed at that moment for her mind had been too clouded. Prefers this moment was exactly what had been needed.
Brown eyes had lifted from the spot she had once stared and settled on Rafe. She searched his face, her own gaze had been more of a lazy one for she suddenly realized how tired she had been due to sudden bursts of energy and emotions. “I….would like that…,” her voice had been soft with a hint of hesitancy, but Naomi still agreed. Hands finally had released the ledge as arms had fallen by her sides. Naomi finally had taken a step forward, leaving her perch against the rail. Had this been the right decision, she wasn’t sure but went through it anyways. Naomi had not held the vampire’s gaze, she had been too worn down. She had moved into him then moved off to the side so he could lead the way.
