The trick of this was not being able to reply verbally to Niks. Evan wasn't quite used to it, and found himself opening his mouth to tell her his thoughts, then covering it up with some panting.
He didn't squirm when she held his face, though he was sure that other wolves probably wouldn't feel so comfortable with the action. And sure, if somebody else tried to do it, he wouldn't have tolerated it.
He wagged his tail at the kiss, and paused entirely at her mention of being naked. Evan had no idea what she meant by it, but his mind whirled and imagined and shut off for a moment.
When she was ready to throw the stick though, he shook himself and focused on the current moment again. His tail wagged harder.
