Hunting and playing as wolf and coyote was instinct, but in many ways this was too. They were both born as what they were, and so the instinct was strong in Meri whether she was human or coyote. She rarely found it in herself to be embarrassed by her urges or her behavior, though she was still young enough to be careful when she was around humans, especially since the new laws came about. Mating for life was natural for her kind as well, and while she had the normal urges, she had handled them on her own in the past- no one so far had struck her as worth it until Adam came along.
His scent aroused her even more, and her eyes closed for a moment as he spoke, then resumed his attention to her neck. Her body responded to his touch, knowing it was the touch of her mate, and she allowed her head to fall slightly to the side, baring her neck for him to 'attack' as he would. "I'm glad you like it," she murmured softly, her eyes opening to look up at him.
His hand on her stomach drew a small whine of pleasure, especially at the touch of his nails. She found she liked the bit of pain, honestly- though that again could well be something that occurred due to their instincts.
