Ethan pulled her closer, his voice tender. "Don't worry, you're my whole world now. I won't let anyone take you from me. I need to hold you every single night." His fox-wife Menglu purred, "Darling! I feel the same. Especially when you stroke my tail while we make love each evening. Maybe we should escape together now? That way they'll never find us." Ethan chuckled, "Sweetheart, relax! I've got everything prepared to satisfy your parents. Once they see you're living in bliss here rather than suffering, they won't dream of taking you back. If we ran, you'd miss your succulent roasted chicken and fine wine - life outside couldn't compare." "Oh! Then let's stay." For the white fox spirit, the mere thought of chickenless, wineless days was torture. Ethan claimed her lips in a deep kiss
