little shadow's bed and breakfast

She wasn’t completely satisfied with his answer, and pressed him further as she offered little distractions in the form of affection. He basked in her attention, his toes curled and his rust marked tail wagged absently behind him. His garnet gaze was closed as he enjoyed the moments as they ticked by. ”I’m rather heavy for my height, thick boned, long legs. Great muscle tone.” He added with a chuckle as he buried his nose behind her ear, aiming to tickle the sensitive skin beneath the soft fur.

His grin widened as she seemed to accept his proposal, however she seemed to jump in feet first with no abandon. He opened his eyes at the thought, realizing how much responsibility he had facing him. Binding souls and joining the Ademre. He wasn’t sure what he thought. He paused, his whole body stiffening as the anxieties rushed back in. ”I might need a little time to think about all that.” He admitted softly. Had she not seen how much he valued his freedom? He couldn’t allow himself to be so tied down. Here and now there was nothing holding him except the violent wounds on his chest, and Eris’s intoxicating presence.

Oxide tried to snuggle back into his fur, but it felt like a stormcloud had gathered over his head. It was weighing on his shoulders heavily, ”I don’t want to think about then. I want this. Right here and now. This perfect connection, just me and you.” But it could never last as long as he wanted.
