As they walked back, Connie was bombarded with the city's emotional pheromones. The desire and wanting from others as they walked by...It hit her right, a nice snack before her meal.

When she felt something... from Steven.

'Jealousy?..No, not jealousy...No protectiveness...whoa..'

She was caught off guard when Steven pulled her closer by her hip and felt her toes curled when his chest growled.

'Territorial..' She purred...She knew he would never do anything to smother her or restrict her, same with her...but ...To see this side of him...His possessiveness, protective side, his awakening territorial side...Connie could feel her panties getting wetter by the second.

"You're quite popular with the guys of your neighborhood. " Steven stated,

"They can't keep their eyes off you."

"Guessing they like how we look together." Connie grinned," You never cared before?" She teased, "at least you were slicker with your possessiveness. " She chuckled.

"I mean...I know you can always handle yourself."

"You liked how I teasingly rejected them," Connie smirked.

"Felt kind of bad for them, but better than when you're tearing a person down..." Steven stated, " like Jack earlier today."

"He deserved it."

"Yeah, and so did the others...." Steven agreed," But you were a little harsher than usual. " and smirked.

"I don't know what got into me. Left a bad taste in my mouth," Connie chuckled, "But I didn't feel bad. "

"Well, he did seem to have pushed you, but...Maybe you like being a little rougher, a little more dominant." Steven teased and purred, "being the predator."

"I'm not a predator..." Connie chuckled and rolled her eyes." I'm just a strong and sassy lioness."

"Well, whatever you consider, I always have you back, play the boyfriend/bracer role...though it's not play anymore," Steven smirked.

"It's not play anymore." Connie agreed, "And I'm glad you always have my back."

"And my ass, handsy." She laughed, trying not to tremble to the palm caressing her buttock. "And don't try to move it now."

She squeaked when he squeezed instead.

"Cheeky."

"You surely are, still trying to figure out how you got all this ass.. in those tiny shorts."

"Magic, struggles, and a lot of booty dancing." 

"I missed your Jean struggle? Sadness." Steven wiped a fake tear.

"Damn, I miss the jean struggle...Sadness." He joked.

The two looked at each other before giggling like best-friends, like lovers..like jambuds ..like them.

"You see this." Connie pointed to them both, "unbreakable...undeniable..eternal." She poked," so what if guys and gals look or approach....we are sexy, baby, yeah." She grinned before putting on her best Austin powers impression.

"You dork." He laughed as they walked, holding

"Your sexy dork."She giggled, "really...You don't have to be possessive...though I appreciate it, I see no one but you, Steven Universe. And take pride that I'm yours" she kissed Steven's cheek," and you're mine. She kissed his lips.

"I know you're mine." Steven growled affectionately, setting off sparks along her nervous system," and I'm yours." 

"So let them watch. Let them hit on me, just to fall." Connie smirked, "Let them think and believe their fantasies. Take pride you gotta attractive partner..like I do when other girls hit on you." Connie smirked.

"I love this confident, powerful and sexy, assertive you," Steven stated.

"That's because I'm with you." Connie pecked him, "At the end of the day...I know we're my heart lives...with yours, would never do anything to break that."

Steven didn't say anything, just cupped her cheeks and pressed her lips against Connie's, "Thank you. I know that, but..."

"Nice to hear." She pressed her hands on his.

"I might be territorial from time to time," Steven smirked and teasingly squeezed her seat.

"You're mine, Steven." She purred and pressed herself against him, "I'm yours, and you're not the only one."

"We'll keep walking and probably getting a few stares." Connie teased

Steven looked at her and smirked, "Then let them stare, let them look. We're gonna show them how a couple acts that we're a team. That you're mine, and I'm yours." He growled and nuzzled her cheek," And pridefully that you're the hottest lioness in town." 

Connie could feel her eyes sparkle, her heart clenching. She adored him.

She laid on his chest as they walked, though. Connie, in the act of playfulness, grabbed his butt.

"Well, I got a lot be pride off. I get to lay with all this...Blessed." She giggled before running off.

"Silly girl." He looked at her, staring at her skipping for before giving chase.

Their teasing and playing, watched by others as it reverberated through the streets and the effect of the city's emotional pheromones faded in the background, while Steven's became overwhelming.

"The possessiveness is gone." Connie sighed, looking at his smiling face, feeling herself arousal rise,' but that happiness. This silly happiness..oh..it's the best. Connie mused as they made it back to her and Tricia's apartment building.

Connie chuckled as she typed in the code to enter the building, opening the door wide so Steven could get in as she ran up the stairs.

Steven ran in after and stopped, his eyes glued on her as she ran upstairs.

"Liking the view." Connie teased, catching his gaze, playfully smacking her left buttock and laughing, seeing him blink as if coming out of a trance.

"Hypno hips." Steven licked his lips before giving chase again by walking as she strutted just a bit ahead of him.

Looking over her shoulders at his eyes..feeling his gaze over her form...

The succubus licked her lips, feeling her clothes get tighter again. His emotional energy fueling her.

"What you thinking about, little Minx?" Steven asked as he followed.

"Wondering what...Not so sinless things you're doing to me in your head?" Connie teased.

"Now, now. What you mean 'not so sinless...' he teased, "I'm such a good boy." He kissed her nape.

"He says as he tastes my neck." Connie giggled, caressing his cheek as he pulled her close. She pressed her lips on his cheek.

"Your fault for having a sexy, sensitive collar."

"Yeah." Connie gasped, "Blame the victim." She giggled as he hugged her close.

"Victim indeed." He chuckled against her neck.

"My victim. And you love it."
Connie licked her lips and purred against him.

"Oh, am I. "

" Yes...You just...Don't know it."

" you know what they say..." Steven paused," Never trust a victim."

This proved to be a mistake as Steven gave her a quick bite on her neck.

"Oh!" Connie hissed and arched her back but not pulling away.

"You're the one that said I was your victim." Steven teased, "and you're right. I am loving it."

"Harder~" she hissed and purred.

"Gladly.." Steven growled and sunk his canines into Connie's nape before giving a small, hard suck.

"Hah! Aahahh...Yes.." She hissed and arched again, "Harder...Ahh.."

"Connie, Berry.." he murmured against her nape before giving a harder growl and draw with his canines.

"Hh.." She moaned, feeling something odd. A fire was rising from deep within. It spread throughout her body. "Yes...!"

"Whose, the victim?" Steven smirked, before giving a final, hard draw and bite on her nape.

"Hh...M-m-me...Fuck, you got it..." Connie melted before facing him, "wipe the smile off your face. Before I ride it off." Connie purred.

Steven grinned, his canines glinting with saliva."No need to make threats...I'll keep the smile."

"Come on, silly." Connie giggled, "We're in a hallway, Steven."

"Yeah." Steven nodded, "We are."

Connie looked at him, and before he could say anything, she kissed him.

Steven felt his heart speed up and his blood pump faster. He kissed back, loving the way she tasted. He felt her tongue on his than his on hers. He closed his eyes and put his arms around her. He could feel her arms around him, too.

They broke the kiss to gaze at each other before Connie grinned amorously. Giving Steven a gentle but long lick up his cheek and hum in his ear.

"I want to play with you so bad... But, let's hurry up and start our date." She purred as they made their way up to the next landing, making sure he got to feel her hips as they walked.

'Cute Lioness. Steven thought, knowing she was teasing him.

"Ah...such a tease." Steven grinned, "And I love it."

"I know you do." She giggled, "I love teasing you." She purred.

It took thirty seconds for them to get to Connie's door, and in that thirty, Connie fought the urge to take him right then and there. Little trembles surged through her as the smell of his devotion and arousal. His love and lust for her...

And hers for him.

The smell of Steven drunk her in; her mind was not able to focus on anything but the scent of his devotion, his arousal, and most of all, his love.

He's mine. She thought as she allowed him to take her hand and kissing it.

He's every inch mine. He loves me every inch as much as I love him. She thought, fighting the urge to pull him in for a kiss.

They made it to the door, and she took out the keys from her pocket, unlocking the door and letting them in.
