Where There Is Desire

They lingered there for far longer than Indigo intended, but he was so comfortable and warm beside Duchess he needed a bit more shut eye. He was breathing deeply, having drifted back after curling around her smaller body. He wasn’t disturbed by Duch lifting her head, but the soft feeling of her nuzzle into his cheek brought him blinking open his eyes into wakefulness. The transition was slow, but as she nibbled along his jaw Indigo couldn’t help the yawn that lifted his sabered fangs from his chin. Her words were just as gentle but they had a harsh meaning. He didn’t have a morning patrol to his surprise and pleasure. Waking up slowly with Duchess was what the boy needed after his restful sleep.

There was always too much to do instead of laying around cuddled up all day. He would have, and he felt like Duchess might have to, had it not been for the weight of responsibility. The yearling yawned again and not so subtly wrapped his arms around the violet girl and pulled her a little closer. ”Must have needed the extra sleep.” His own wounds from the day they met were finally beginning to heal. The scabs that covered the gouges were really beginning to itch, but it didn’t seem like much would scar over very bad.
