Chapter 22 21

Leo listens carefully. He raises one of his eyebrows. 'Her people? I wonder what she means by that.' He places his hand over her shaking hand. "Kitsune I trust you. When it's safe to explain everything to me please do. Is there anything I should do?" He bent down and kisses the top of her head in between her fox ears. Her ears twitch and brush up against his cheek. "Your ears are soft." He whispers into the ear and blows into it.

Kitsune's blushes and lets out a small moan. "Please don't blow in my ear. They're rather sensitive. You'll have to wear shirts that cover the mark but you should be able to continue your," she pauses. "Work. I'll be stabilized in about 3 months. Shortly after our baby is born. I can't stay with you here and you won't be able to come with me to where I'm staying. With your work, I doubt you can stay three months so when your able to take time off aim for it to be when the baby is due." Looking sadly she turned and kissed his cheek.

Her reaction was so adorable he didn't want to others to see or hear her reactions. "Unfortunately you are correct I can't take three months off but I can work it so that I have 4 weeks off in roughly two and half months. I can understand that you bringing a hunter home would not settle with your family." His face twitches in annoyance. 'I have never been so upset over my work. After I finally found her I'm going to have to let her go again. I really don't want to let her go. She is mine.' He possessiveness was starting to get out of control. Trying to calm down he asked, "Are you staying with a male or female?"

Kitsune didn't miss the twitch. "Are you jealous?" She giggles. "There is no one else I would rather spend my life with then you Leo. I am living with my grandmother. She is the most experienced and treats everyone like they are her own children. I look forward to introducing you to her." She smiles and sits up and moves forward. "Will you sit behind me so I can lean into your embrace?"
