Where There Is Desire

Taking her to the beach had been an eye opening experience, the energy between them had changed. They were affectionate before but there was a deeper meaning to each touch. Indigo hadn’t figured it out yet, he cared for Duchess a lot. More than a lot of wolves and she helped to fill the hole where his heart should have been. The one he should have been able to give to her. But it was never his to give away. Aslatiel was his other half despite how much he cared about Duchess, and how much he loved having her close. She was a balm to the unhealing wound he nursed, and he wouldn’t willingly do anything to hurt her. But here he was, encouraging her to fall in love with him and he didn’t even realize.

Indigo held her for a few moments longer, the both of them fully shedding their sleep, before Duchess slowly lifted herself to her paws. Indigo mirrored her motions, stretching out his long legs with another yawn before Duchess spoke. Slowly he lifted himself to his full height, shaking out his purple pelt before he answered the dainty dame. Indigo smiled mischievously at her chosen words. He offered a reassuring nudge to her shoulder before he spoke.

”I’m never too busy for you.” He promised playfully, feeling refreshed and in a bright mood on that dreary morning. Maybe it was the extra sleep, maybe it was just waking up with Duchess. ”What have you seen so far?” There wasn’t a whole lot to note when it came to the castle, but there sure was a whole lot of it.
