little shadow's bed and breakfast

Oxide was too tired to notice her absent drooling on him, but he did notice her careful grooming. Her teeth against his skin distracted him from the sleep his body sought. Eris was all he was able to focus on as she obsessed over him and the imperfections in his fur. She sent cold chills up his spine, was she teasing him? Did she know what that was doing to him? He attempted to stifle the feelings as she was distracted by his question of her own secret name. Not knowing what she had meant for it to mean he repeated the sign on her paw.

He almost corrected her, and was so caught up in his awful thoughts of Nysa he didn’t notice that she had trailed off. He didn’t want Nysa to invade again, he wanted to focus on Eris and how good she was able to make him feel. After this, her herbs and her snuggles, and the closeness they shared… he could come close to saying she had paid him back. He’d take the pain of his injuries a thousand times if he could also have this. No cares in the world but how soft her fur was against his lips.

”It was the first time I saw you.” He tried to diffuse her. ”What you look like?” He tried to meet her foggy gaze in the dark. ”A small, dark furred she wolf. With white markings that resemble the fire burning inside.” He slowed, and his voice lowered. “With deep, beautiful ruby eyes, and a perfect smile.” Maybe he was laying it on thick, but he was high and found his tongue loose. He meant every word, and his sober self would hope those words didn’t come back to bite him.
