~ ZEV ~
Zev wanted to snarl at himself for not thinking this through. Of course she wanted a proposal—she'd even told him that's what she'd hoped he was preparing for five years ago when he'd said he had something important to talk to her about.
Fuck he was an idiot.
As he kissed her and his blood lit in his veins again from the sheer thrill of being close to her, of having claimed her—the Chimera equivalent to a proposal—he turned his mind to how he might fulfill the human tradition in the short time had before the ritual.
But before he could come up a plan—and just as Sasha's kiss became more frantic, her hands clawing into his hair—he heard footsteps approaching on the path to the cave. They were already in human form and only walking, but still they would be there in a very few minutes.
