It was no problem at all to tip his head slightly and expose more of his neck for Gabriel to scent. He turned his head, though, nudging his chin against Gabriel's cheek. "Mmm. Missed you, babe," he murmured, just letting himself breathe in Gabriel's scent as well.

"You know," he said, shifting a little so he could put his arm around Gabriel's waist. "I never thought I'd smell something as wonderful as the first time you came up here after we bonded. I thought that scent, my bonded mate, was the best thing in the world. Think this one might just beat it, though."
