Chasing shallow dreams

So she had been thinking about their night together. He grinned mischievously, his tail swishing back and forth as she continued, telling him her plans for winter. A surprised but delighted glint flashed through his blue-flecked eyes when she mentioned that she might stay in Vyper for a whole season. He hoped that it snowed so much she couldn't possibly travel. Before he could respond, she had taken off, at which point, he took chase. As they collided with the snow bank, they laughed, and he found himself standing over her, looking down at her. It took Jaelle only a moment to reach up and grab his ear, dragging his head down to her neck, and he went without resistance, laying his head against the fabric of her scarf. He inhaled her entrancing scent, humming in his throat as a shudder rippled through his muscles. His body was quick to follow his head, lowering toward her, his chest sprawling across hers as he curved his spine to the side and shimmied his hind legs so that his hips could lay upon the ice. After all, he didn't want to crush her under his weight completely. There was only one circumstance in which he'd wish to smother her, but now was not the time, at least, not quite yet. The scent of her heat was extremely enticing, and there was no way he could ignore it, but when she asked what was on his mind, he knew he couldn't ignore that either.

Xephyris took a deep breath, pressing his face into her neck as she groomed him gently, enjoying her caresses more than he knew was possible. He felt like he didn't need anything else, like time had stopped and he could stay right here forever. But somewhere in his mind, he knew that wasn't reality. When she paused for a moment to look at their surroundings, he pulled back his head and mustered the words to tell her what was going on. "The truth is... Limno abandoned us," he muttered, his ears folding back and a scowl crossing his face as he looked to the glowing ice. His eyes darkened, and he realized his mood was affected by her disappearance more than he cared to admit. He hadn't ever had real feelings for her, but she was the mother of his pups, after all. Not only that, but she was supposed to be his second in command. Her sudden leaving without a trace left him without a partner to raise his daughters, and he felt he'd made a huge mistake in trusting her - not only to raise his pups, but to help with his pack, too. And what would the wolves of Vyper think? He'd appointed her as someone of authority over everyone else in the pack, and now she was gone without a hint.

For a moment, the silver-eyed man stared at the glowing ice, before his gaze shifted back to the gorgeous woman in front of him. He didn't want to drag her into the chaos of his life, but... perhaps in a way, he had already done so. It was undeniable that they had a connection, and that their lives had become intertwined. But did she realize that the more she got involved with him, the more she would be bogged down? The more she would be wrapped up in all of his drama? Yet she didn't seem to want to keep any distance between them, and for that he was more than grateful. As always, he felt like he could share his inner world with her, in a way he didn't share with any others. "I've been looking for her," he admitted, acknowledging that his attention was split lately, "But it's not for me, it's not that I miss her... I just.. my little girls, they're without a mother now. I'm only one man, I have a pack to run... I worry that I can't give them everything they need." For so long, he'd been able to keep his worries at bay, to face it all with strength and ignore any feelings of uncertainty. Around her, he felt like he could be honest; that he worried, that he might actually have fears and doubts. Yet, he knew that she would make it better, as she always did. She was so bright, optimistic and clever, and to top it all off, so very beautiful - enough to make all of his worries, fears and doubts melt away as quickly as they overtook him.
