little shadow's bed and breakfast

His body was buzzing pleasantly as she answered him back, feeling much the same as he did. She played with his paw as she apologized for how his chest was still feeling. He shook his head again, she’d done all she could for his wounds. She promised he’d heal, just as long as he lingered in her presence. The thought brought a hint of a smile and chased away his deeper thoughts.

"Why did you save me the second time?" Oxide had nearly fallen to sleep when she voiced her question, and he blinked one eye open as he contemplated how he should answer her. He hmm’d softly before words were formed on his lips. ”I don’t know. I acted without thinking.” Ox wasn’t much satisfied with what he came up with. ”I could tell you it was to protect my investment, but that wasn’t it.” He whispered into her fur. His wounds were very much in the way, he felt like he needed to pull her closer, but if they pressed against each other any more they’d be one wolf.

The hint of a sigh left him as he dredged up the real reason, his inhibitions all but gone with his exhaustion and the drugs. Despite having only eaten breakfast he found himself easily tired again. ”You’re not like any other wolf that’s been in my life. I wasn’t about to give you up yet.” He admitted somewhat cryptically as he nuzzled his nose into the soft fur of her belly absently.
