thorn in my side

Slowly and with a bit of effort the tension began to dissipate, that they could both find a way to grin was testament to the both of them. He seemed to steel his resolve as she let him off killing the pangolin now. The prospect still hung in the air, though she had no doubt the pangolin would never fall on her again.

Venom felt an odd thrill race through her as Azure promised her anything, and she was kind of disappointed in the task given. As the distance between them was closed nearly completely she could hear her heartbeat in her ears and a nervous sensation race over her skin. He’d been so quick to answer before she’d even presented her request. The thought made her grin spread to her rose and lilac eyes.

She stilled herself as Azure put his paw to her throat and leaned in close to her scruff. Though she didn’t enjoy taking commands their closeness nearly had her frozen anyway. She was returned to that day when he’d curled himself around her and held her tight… Venom lost herself in the memory as he pushed his muzzle into her scruff and she felt his teeth brush against her flesh.

The Empress jumped as he pulled the quill from its follicle. She couldn’t help the little squeal that fled her lips, but it was easy to forget as Azure rushed his muzzle to her ears and held his paw to her neck. Tears had welled up in her eyes but was gone just as quickly with his sweet little apology. ”No, thank you. It’s better to be rid of the thorn in my side.” She told him as she rested some of the weight of her head in Azure’s paw as she aimed to press her lips to his cheek. An innocent kiss for her champion.
